The almost true exploits of an intrepid spinster and her stitching...and all of the things that make up her crazy, happy, quiet little life.
Apr 24, 2009
But I regress.
I decided to get up off my fanny and do something, and then decided not to do something, so I just sat down in a chair that I have by the back door. I don't think I've ever sat in this chair before. The truth is that it's a little recliner that Aunt Chrissy uses if we stitch downstairs rather than up in the studio.
So as I'm sitting there, I started looking at my little room. I mean really looking. And I didn't let myself look at the blah blah paint color or the mismatched end tables or the 20-year old tee vee. Instead, I looked at stuff that I love, yet take for granted on a daily basis. Like books. Or crazy-ass knick knacks that I bought at Hobby Lobby during a five minute shopping spree because I just HAD to merchandise the pot shelf that day and the store was closing. Or Stewey's perch (which always cracks me up when I see him curled up there watching the birds).
I kind of liked what I saw. So I got back in the Happy Chair and picked up Shepherd's Bush "Garden Gate" and started stitching away.
The end.

My heaven's what a beautiful room you have...and from the sneak peeks we've had previously, I know your whole HOME is gorgeous...ya wanna talk about filth, dust bunnies and fingerprints all over the walls (in three different heights) and windows...well give me a call! :)
I'm supposed to be cleaning right now in fact....and what am I doing? Looking at your blog....
and planning a trip to Hobby Lobby upon pick up of my big three kids. The MIL is coming this weekend...you know I have to "dress" my home to impress! LOL!Oh Coni your home is BEAUTIFUL and so elegant. Those books! I know exactly how you feel though. I had a birthday party at my house and everyone was taking pictures. My sister posted some of them and sent them to family. I (detail freak that I am) looked 'behind' the smiling fam and thought... wow that's a pretty room (and it was MINE) lol. Life, dang we get sooo busy, and I just forgot to stop, look around and appreciate! (Now excuse me please, because I haven't vaccumed in a week) lmao. BTW, I'm lovin' Garden Gate too!!
ReplyDeleteConi, your home is beautiful! And yes, sometimes it just takes a different perspective for us to appreciate just how much of a relfection it is of us, and how lovely it truly is.
As a kid, did you ever put your feet on the back of the furniture, (when Mom wasn't in the room to tell you otherwise), and hang your head upside down, over the seat, and look at the room, like the ceiling is the floor? No? Well, never mind.
On a different note, do you ever go to Erica's? I go there occasionally (sold my life into slavery for a Bernina), but mainly have been going for cross stitch patterns, etc. which have been dwindling. I KNOW that I haven't bought THAT many! Is she phasing out that department?
Thanks so much for sharing your adventures with us! Your humor keeps me laughing and your stitching is inspiring! But no pressure. lolPriorities (did I spell that right?). We should all take a few minutes to sit in another spot and look at our surroundings with renewed perspective. How nice is that?!! (and to heck with the dust bunnies!!!)
Stitch away Coni! I'm going to pull up a chair and check out my surroundings too.

Thank you and Girlfriend Cards
I know. . .it's odd but I just had to many rubber stamps that I couldn't possibly catch up.
So I decided tow finally open some of the packages and use the stamps. It's like I just purchased them. LOL! It's sorta fun to open a package up even if it was purchased over a year ago.
I really like this girlfriend image and the sentiment. It's a perfect image and sentiment for a friendship card.
It was actually really quick to make the card because there wasn't much coloring needed for the image.
This card was quick and easy too because I didn't do any coloring with the image. I used a dye ink and stamped on to colored card stock. It was really simple. I love when card making is quick and painless.
Anyway, that's it for today. I actually made a few more other cards but I'll share them on another day.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Hope your weekend is going great!

Two of my favorite groups personally are the Mexican trio Camila and their compatriot duo Jesse y Joy. One of the reasons I like them so much is that I can pretty much play any of their songs, and most videos too, in class. They're fairly positive & upbeat as far as content goes. Right now I'm liking Abrázame by Camila (you've got some tú command, infinitive after preposition, and subjunctive for influence in there). I think my favorite Camila song is Coleccionista de canciones, which we use in Spanish 1 for the repetitions of tú and in Spanish 3 for talking about professions without articles ("ella es coleccionista de canciones"). The video for Coleccionista is pretty cool too. Curiously, my students also like Solo para ti by Camila, because it's very N'sync-y.
And of course, Jesse y Joy are a big hit. Espacio sideral is one of my best successes in class and great for object pronouns. On the slow side, my students also like Mi sol (you can ignore that video clip and just listen to the song-far as I can tell there isn't an official video), which is fantastic for eres. We use Volveré in Spanish 2 for future verbs. I like Quiero conocerte, and use it occasionally for conocer, but my students don't really like it.
Anyway, if you're wondering where to start with music in your class, start with Jesse y Joy and Camila and you can't go wrong!

Martin Edwards, the former Manchester United chairman arrested as part of a money-laundering probe, wrote late last year in support of disgraced financier Michael Brown to the banking giant investigating him.
Mr Edwards was arrested earlier this year and released on police bail. He was subsequently released from bail, however, after the City of London police - who are leading the money-laundering investigation - informed him that they now believed him to be a victim of fraud, rather than a perpetrator. At the time, he told The Independent on Sunday he had been through "a pretty awful time".
Mr Edwards became embroiled in the probe through his involvement with Mr Brown, the former Liberal Democrat donor awaiting trial in Wormwood Scrubs.
HSBC started civil proceedings against Mr Brown and his company, 5th Avenue Partners, last autumn and the bank had his assets frozen. The case is understood to revolve around $45m (£25m) invested in Mr Brown's companies by Kevin So, Yan Lucy Lu - both believed to be based in China - a retired American lawyer, Robert William Mann, and Mr Edwards.
Court documents seen by The Independent on Sunday include a letter from Mr Edwards written in October and witnessed by his then solicitors Peters & Peters. It was sent in reply to an earlier letter from HSBC. The bank was concerned over whether Mr Brown was using the investors' money as specified.
Mr Edwards' response stated that he had known Mr Brown "for some considerable time" and that he was "content" the money had been used "in Mr Brown's discretion".
Mr Edwards, who appointed Sir Alex Ferguson and left the club in 2000, was unavailable for comment.
Mr Brown, who is Scottish but lives in Spain, left London before Christmas for his home in Majorca. HSBC, meanwhile, approached the Crown Prosecution Service last month to obtain a warrant for his arrest. Charges against Mr Brown include perverting the course of justice and forgery.
While the CPS assessed the application, two other alleged offences came to light: obtaining a passport by deception and making a false declaration to obtain a passport.
Mr Brown, 40, was extradited from Majorca last week and is scheduled to stand trial in October over the criminal charges.
The civil case will resume then as well.
Mr Brown's offices and home in Majorca were raided last week and a number of items were seized, including a Porsche Cayenne, a Bentley, a yacht, paintings and documents.

stupid is fun. lifes serious enough
I think the sites forum section has taking a turn for the worst recently. But i also think it has alot to do with a tiny majority of the people that recently quit surfing for the summer and are bringing there opinions to the message board. Hopefully these people will stop visiting in the next month. Stupid can be fun but too much stupid is just stupid. haha

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Tropical Fish Diseases
- - Help please ASAP
Help please ASAP To the best of my abilities I can determine that the fish in question is a Synodontis Eupterus...if you have seen my post on the catfish forum you'll understand... I have had one die reciently, just moments before it's death I noticed that it was swimming upside down and also that the color was much much lighter than it usually is and it was at the top of the tank. It was dead within a short period of time after this. Now, I have another one that is showing the same symptoms but it is still staying at the bottom. When I say that the color was off I mean, they are usually pretty darkly colored now they look like they have white over them... If there anything that I should do? Medications, take him out of the tank...or worse...put him out of his misery...if so is freezing the best way to do it? |
I have no clue how to treat that, but for putting down fish I would have to say the clove oil and vodka seems best to me. |
I know someone else will ask, so I'll get the ball rolling. What are your water parameters? There's a sticky at the top of this forum that covers euthanasia. |
Nitrite is in the low...like .1 Nitrate is very low...the lowest number it has on the thing is 5 a bit lighter than that. I can't find the instruction book for my ammonia...if anyone has the nutrafin test kit please tell me how many drops to put in... |
Correction, the nitrate is at around the 5 number...I didn't wait long enough sorry. |
He died... It had been 20 minutes before I posted here with his strange behavior and appearance and he was fine hours ago. He, as well as the other one that died were smaller than the other two, however, the first one wasn't by much. I could see something being geneticly wrong with the one that just died, his tall was much different than the others and his color was a little different but I doubt that these factors had anything to do with their death. I am going to buy another testing kit, one that tests for everything...what is a good name to look for..? |

Raising the tie-rail in your tie-stall barn is one way to improve cow comfort, health and safety, notes Neil Anderson, senior veterinary scientist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs in Fergus, Ontario. For example, Anderson knows of producers who installed the tie-rail 48 inches above the bedding or mattress and 8 inches forward of the manger curb. These modified stalls allowed the first-calf heifers and older cows to rise without struggling. "The changes are a sure way to boost cow comfort and improve access to feed and water," Anderson notes.
Another producer has seen good success in 12 stalls where he positioned the tie-rails 50 inches above the mattress and 10 inches forward of the manger curb for the largest cows in his herd, Anderson adds.

Iran announced on Friday new military exercises in the Strait of Hormuz, but the West has readied plans to use strategic oil stocks to replace almost all Gulf oil lost if Iran blocks the waterway, industry sources and diplomats told Reuters.
They said senior executives of the International Energy Agency (IEA) discussed on Thursday an existing plan to release up to 14 million barrels per day (bpd) of government-owned oil stored in the United States, Europe, Japan and other importers.
This rate of release could be kept up for a month, offsetting most of the 16 million barrels a day of crude passing through the world's most important shipping lane that could be halted by an Iranian blockade.
Iranian officials have threatened in recent weeks to block the strait if new sanctions imposed by the United States and planned by the European Union, with the aim of discouraging Iran's nuclear program, harm Tehran's oil exports.

But the game also features stuff you can do during your downtime—and it looks like the developers are putting care into small details. You can milk a cow. You can fish. You can trade. You can capture mounts. You can cook. You can build a castle. Some of this is typical, but it's not always "click and wait." Some of the things you can do, like leaning against a wall at will, is simply texture—but just like being able to jump in Ni No Kuni, it still adds to the game.

Two run outs for England in six balls, including that of skipper Ricky Ponting, put the hosts on the verge of regaining the Ashes on Sunday as Australia slipped to 265-5 at tea on the fourth day of the deciding fifth test at The Oval.
Australia, seeking an unlikely world record run chase of 546, still require a further 281 runs for victory or need to survive another four sessions for the draw that would see the Ashes retained, while England need five more wickets.
Mike Hussey, without a test century since last October and who was averaging 22 in the series before this innings, was 77 not out at the interval while Brad Haddin was on 10.
England needs to win to regain the Ashes after Australia leveled the series at 1-1 with an innings victory in the fourth test.
Australia's prospects of holding out for a draw seem unlikely with the pitch deteriorating further after already having encouraged prodigious spin from day one.
The tourists rallied either side of lunch when Ponting and Hussey came together after the loss of their openers, but the match took another significant twist in the afternoon session.
Ponting, who received a standing ovation from the sold-out crowd after having been booed to the crease in previous tests, was typically positive despite his team's dire predicament.
But he was run out for 66 after Hussey called him for a quick single and mid-on fielder Andrew Flintoff picked the ball up cleanly and unleashed a powerful direct throw at the stumps that left Ponting a meter short of his ground.
Ponting was disconsolate as England celebrated wildly at the key breakthrough. It might yet be Ponting's last Ashes test in England. He would be 38 in 2013 on the next tour.
The England team was jumping with joy again next over when vice-captain and Australia's top run-scorer Michael Clarke departed the same way as his skipper.
He clipped offspinner Graeme Swann towards square leg and set off for a run not expecting the ball to hit the ankle of short leg fielder Alastair Cook and dribble back towards him.
England captain Andrew Strauss reacted quickly and threw at the stumps, before the third umpire gave him out with Clarke's bat only on the line.
Australia had gone from 217-2 and looking relatively comfortable despite a crumbling pitch to 220-4.
That became 236-5 shortly after when Marcus North was stumped by Matt Prior off Swann. He attempted a sweep shot only for the ball to bounce up to Prior, who grabbed it and dislodged the bails before North could place his back foot behind the line.
Hussey was dropped on 55 by Paul Collingwood at slip off Swann.
Earlier, Simon Katich offered no stroke to Swann, expecting more sharp turn but was out lbw by a straight delivery. He made 43 in 68 balls. Shane Watson departed three balls later for 40, trapped lbw by Stuart Broad.

| Kingston HyperX Beast DDR3-2133 64GB Memory Kit Review @ ThinkComputers.org Not that long ago Kingston announced a new entry into their HyperX line, Beast. The Beast memory kits are designed for users who want the largest capacity memory available, but still want that performance memory speed and quality. HyperX Beast is part of the Predator line so it is made for both power users and enthusiasts. As I said these kits are for people who want large capacities so the lowest capacity kit available is 16GB. Kingston was nice enough to send us the big boy of the line which is the KHX21C11T3FK8/64X kit. This a 64GB (8x8GB) kit running at 2133MHz with timings of 11-12-11 at 1.65v.

Friday Limericks--Spring!
The sun's showing off all its powers
For the first time in months, I see flowers!
It's the time when we know
That we will not see snow--
At least for a couple more hours!
It's the time of the year that won't fail ya
With stories of birds they'll regale ya
The days getting longer
And light getting stronger--
We're stealing the sun from Australia!
Gotta run--I think I will plant onions today... have fun!

A spring day is lovely to see,
So it seems quite a myst'ry to me,
Why with so many hours,
To chirp at the flowers,
The birdies all get up at three!
Seriously, I woke up at three in the morning to the sound of robins chirping outside my window! Couldn't they at least wait until it was light? - 11:08 AM
- CAE said...
Yardwork, yech. Haven't quite adapted to that joy yet.
It's nice getting up when it's light,
And the blossom's a beautiful sight.
But the lawn now needs mowing
And the weeds that are growing
Are doing it just out of spite.
And a happier thought:
The temperature's nearly at ten,
So join with me, women and men!
We really oughta
Be out on the water,
It's kayaking season again!
That's Celsius, obviously. - 1:59 PM
- The Ridger, FCD said...
Though robins may get up at dawn
The geese still drowse on the lawn,
Where patter the starlings
And sweet fuzzy darlings
Of brown and white striped killfawn. - 9:00 PM
- Cuttlefish said...
You people rock!
IK... we have a mockingbird outside our window that has a habit of singing a line from a famous opera. One that I should know, but cannot for the life of me recall. Or I would proudly tell you.
CAE--due to frisbee injury, I did not get my kayak out on the bay at all last year; I hope you are right about this year!
Ridger--"Killfawn" is utter genius! Love it! - 9:31 PM

Spring has begun to be sprung.
Joyful songs warble out from each tongue
And birds, they are winging while chirpily singing
And flings cannot wait to be flung.
All springing and sprunging aside,
The temps do a Jekyll and Hyde.
One day they are warm,
Then they quickly transform,
And with shivers we're over supplied.
It's "fun" to awaken and see
How fickle the weather can be…
Like going outdoors in Bermuda short drawers
Gruesome goose bumps come 'n squat on my knee.
Early Spring isn't big on sang-froid.
But the season well-known for its joie -
De vivre is a fave, 'cause we've all become slave
To new hopes for us chilly bourgeois.
So here's to you all who are singing
'Bout joys that the season is bringing.
Hope the pollen don't sneeze ya or nippy winds wheeze ya.
Just keep up your perky whing dinging! - 5:34 AM
- podblack said...
Oh, DC - I talked to you about that last year!!
Your bird is singing a lovely song: "La donna è mobile" (Woman is fickle). Rigoletto by Verdi; The Duke of Mantua in Act III, Scene 1.
"Woman is flighty
Like a feather in the wind..."
- Cuttlefish said...
Ah, yes! Thanks, Pod!
Now my brain can let go of that one... Actually, the bird is singing as I write this!
Anfractuous, once again you astonish. Your fourth, in particular, highlights the reason I do not believe in the French language. I think it is a plot. - 8:20 AM
- Anfractuous said...
DC, I must agree with you about French. There can be no logical way all those spellings could actually ryhme. Of course English spelling and pronunciation is, of course, eminently logical and consistent!
Thanks for your kind words. - 11:52 PM
- Cuttlefish said...
You are wise beyond words...
Ah, but the difference between French and English... it's the talking with hands... an English speaker can, for the most part, get by even without hands. French? Have you ever seen a French speaker without gestures? I suspect sign language. Rendering the spoken language a mere smoke-screen, intended to fool people like me.
It's just a theory, mind you... - 12:17 AM

Options Backdating: Can I.T. Help?
By Doug Bartholomew | Posted 2006-06-15 Email PrintIt's the latest scandal to hit corporate America--companies appear to have backdated stock options to insiders so they're more valuable. Software can help flag even the appearance of wrongdoing.
Options backdating, the latest scandal to hit corporate America, may be more widespread than anyone is willing to admit. If that's true, what can be done to prevent this fraudulent practice in the future? Can information technology be used as a backstop?
Ostensibly, the practice of granting options to executives serves as a carrot, giving them a stake in the company's success. They receive this additional compensation only if the firm's share price rises. Options for executives typically are granted by the board or its compensation committee. The strike price, or exercise price, of the option is the company's share price on the date the option was granted by the board. The options become vested, or exercisable, usually after a specified period, often one year from issuance.
The problem arises when a company's chairman, CEO or CFO looks the other way while the options are backdated to an earlier date when the firm's share price was at its lowest closing price for the year.
One reason for the failure is that boards tend to rubber-stamp options grants, viewing their issuance as little more than a routine corporate function. The end result is that company officers receive stock they were able to purchase at a price available on a date that could only have been divined by either the greatest luck or the sharpest hindsight.
The technology industry, long a proponent of greater use of options to retain talent, certainly is well represented in the ranks of firms that have fallen under the options backdating cloud. Among them are RSA Security, KLA-Tencor Corp., Trident Microsystems, Vitesse Semiconductor Corp., Brooks Automation, Juniper Networks and Openwave Systems.
At some companies, senior executives have resigned or been fired. The U.S. Attorney's Office in New York and the Securities and Exchange Commission are investigating numerous public companies to see if they may have engaged in fraudulent practices or violated securities laws. The SEC also said earlier this week that it would issue guidance on when it's appropriate to grant options.
Yet no rules, nor any technology, will ever eliminate the problem. As is the case with most other types of corporate wrongdoing, it's difficult if not impossible to prevent options backdating. "There is no absolute way to prevent people from backdating options," confirms Andrew Levi, chairman and CEO of Boardroom Software. The Dallas vendor's Equity Enterprise package is used for equity administration, capital management and corporate entity management. Other companies that offer stock option administration systems or equity plan management services include Chicago-based Computershare, e-Trade and Charles Schwab & Co. Unfortunately, as Levi puts it, "If people have the intent to defraud the system, then they're going to do it."
But software might help.

Ghosts of Christmas past will stalk Manchester City for as long as they fail to lift silverware. One of them is Robinho, who claimed yesterday that while he was a City player he had talked his compatriot Kaka out of signing two years ago.
"I told him what it was like to live in Manchester; that it is cold, it always rains and offers little," the Milan player said. He also said he had had discussions with Mario Balotelli, to whom Milan have made eyes. "I do not think [he will stay long in Manchester]," Robinho said of the 20-year-old.
Maintaining Balotelli's interest beyond his first season may prove challenging if City are not in the Champions League next season, though manager Roberto Mancini can put such concerns to the back of his mind with his side comfortably within the top four ahead of Aston Villa's arrival this afternoon. Balotelli may feature from the start.
The match could give City a chance to resolve their patchy home form. "We have found it hard at home because teams have come and sat deep and made it difficult for us," Gareth Barry said yesterday.
Kolo Touré will return from a one-match ban, though may not be recalled as Joleon Lescott performed well against Newcastle on Boxing Day. City know a win would see them, for a few hours at least, leapfrog neighbours United, who have an evening kick-off.
Roberto Mancini's positive comments about Newcastle's Andy Carroll after the 3-1 win were a response to a question, rather than a declaration of his intent to pursue the player. City need to sign a Champions League-calibre striker, which is why Wolfsburg's Edin Dzeko is a January target.

Not sure how that Gourmet Popsicles booth is doing here at the Monterey Jazz Festival. The night is kind of chilly. Crowds seem pretty strong, though, and the festival momentum is building. Each year, you can feel it happen, almost hour to hour, as you move around the fairgrounds, testing the music on this stage and that.
Just heard a cool set from pianist Helen Sung and her trio. She played George Shearing's "Conception," then one of her own called "Touch," which felt like time suspended inside an intimate moment. And a bunch of Monk tunes: Funny how Thelonious Monk's presence is all over the music these days. Earlier tonight, Robert Glasper kept interpolating Monk's jabs and percussive melodies into his trio's grooves.
At the Coffee House Gallery, Sung played "Eronel" (associated with Monk, though not his tune), "Bye-ya" and "In Walked Bud." The music occasionally felt a tad studious, but Sung can really play, has a clear touch and good motion in her lines. And she clearly loves Bud and Herbie. Reuben Rogers, always excellent, was on bass, and Marvin "Smitty" Smith was kicking it on drums. All those years in the "Tonight Show" band didn't dilute his spirit; he sounds great. In the middle of "Glass Work," a piece by Sung that was inspired by Philip Glass, Smith started up a sort of West African shimmy beat — think Max Roach on "Garvey's Ghost." Suddenly, the musical temperature shot up about 20 degrees.

Michigan, Israel sign deal for economic projects
Michigan and Israel signed an agreement Monday to jointly support industrial research and development projects.
The deal signed by Gov. Rick Snyder and Israel's Midwest Consul General Roey Gilad calls for issuing a request for proposals from for-profit business collaborations between Michigan and Israeli companies.
Joint projects approved by the Michigan Economic Development Corp. and the Israel Office of the Chief Scientist will receive an unspecified amount of government funding. The request for bids is expected to be issued by November.
Snyder says the deal is a "breakthrough opportunity," and Gilad says he expects partnerships in cyber security, autos, defense and water technology.
The governor made a trade trip to Israel last year and signed a letter of intent that's the basis of the new agreement.

Before Hulu launched in March 2008, watching TV shows on the Web was more fun in theory than in practice. If your show was even available online, you had to hunt for episodes on cluttered network-TV sites, then view them in Post-it-size boxes onscreen. Hulu changed all that by housing dozens of current shows from Fox and NBC, like The Simpsons, House and Late Night with Conan O'Brien, as well as hundreds of golden oldies like The Bionic Woman and Fantasy Island, all under one roof. What's more, Hulu's Web viewer has a full-screen mode and streams high-quality video. Added bonus: way less commercial time. For a bigger warehouse of TV clips and non-network shows, check out Modern Feed.
Some are as useful as a GPS device, others aren't that useful but give you something to do when you had nothing planned for the day. Put them all together and they become TIME.com's 2008 picks for the best the Web has to offer

A special Coca-Cola sales team has been recruited to dislodge Irn Bru from the number one spot. "The new team," said a Coca-Cola spokesman, "is already up and running."
The plan is to expand production at the company's only plant in East Kilbride. One tactic will be Coca-Cola's policy of "glocalisation", tailoring promotions to local markets. As sponsors of Euro 96 and the World Cup Finals, Coca Cola ran competitions in the Scottish media offering the prize of tickets for Scottish matches.
Coca-Cola, cagey this week for fear of upsetting potential buyers, is confident that its new marketing stormtroopers will make an impact in Scotland.And there is much to fight for. Scotland has the highest per capita spending in Britain on soft drinks. It is said that, in parts of Glasgow, some households drink nothing else; no tea, coffee or water, just large bottles of Irn Bru.
Irn Bru, though dwarfed by Coca-Cola, is a highly profitable business and ready for a fight. Last year its owner, Lanarkshire-based AG Barr, had a turnover of pounds 107m and opening up operations in Russia, sold a million bottles in its first year.
The recipe, like that for Coca-Cola, is a secret and only two men are thought to know how to mix the 32 ingredients. One of them is Robin Barr, the chairman of AG Barr, and the other is his cousin Michael Barr. The drink's taste is hard to define, although aficionados liken it to liquefied Juicy Fruit chewing gum.
The battle to shake up the sweet drinks market could be bitter for Coca- Cola, according to Pat Kane, the Scottish journalist and singer with the band Hue and Cry.
He highlighted the country's attachment to the traditional Sunday morning breakfast of four Paracetamol and a bottle of Irn Bru. "It's a great hangover cure," he said. "We love to stodge ourselves up with lots of junk and the sugary stuff sticks to the ribs the best."
A long-standing grudge persists between Coca-Cola and Irn Bru, which MacDonald's preferred to offer in its Scottish outlets until Coca-Cola objected. Irn Bru advertising has made fun of its rival's relative unpopularity. In oneadvertisement, featuring a cow, the slogan reads: "When I become a burger, I want to be washed down with Irn Bru."
To beat off the competitionAG Barr has in recent years given the product an image makeover. It was originally developed as a non-alcoholic beverage for "puddles" who stirred vats of molten iron and were prone to nasty, alcohol-related accidents. For years Irn Bru maintained that manufacturing image, then the Leith Agency in Edinburgh took over the drink's advertising in the Nineties.
Gerry Farrell, creative director explained: "The old "made from girders" image means nothing to a London kid who is into Hip Hop and wears Tommy Hilfiger clothes. We had to provide a crash course in Irn Bru. We think we can reach out to these people better than Coca Cola can. We cannot outspend them so we have to out-think them."
The result of all this, said Pat Kane, is that Irn Bru has been "descotified". "The danger is that Coca-Cola, by using its policy of localisation, will make its drink look Scottish."
Irn Bru, despite the bravado of its advertising agency, is a little shaken. "This story emanated from Coca-Cola and Barr Soft Drinks have no further comment to make," said its spokeswoman. The drink, however, retains a crucial advantage, said Pat Kane. "Coca-Cola could never be advertised as a hangover cure."

BRIEF-Credit Suisse AG announces its intent to suspend further issuances of its Csls Etns
* Credit Suisse Ag announces its intent to suspend further issuances of its CSLS ETNS
Feb 24 Canada's Augusta Resource Corp urged its shareholders to reject HudBay Minerals Inc's hostile takeover bid on Monday, and said investors controlling more than one-third of its common shares plan to refuse the offer.
Augusta said directors, officers and shareholders that together hold more than 33 percent of Augusta's common shares on a fully diluted basis have said they do not plan to tender shares. It did not name specific investors.
Hudbay's hostile bid is conditional on securing the support of no less than two thirds of Augusta's shareholders. This suggests Hudbay would have to sweeten its bid in order to clinch a deal.
Shares in Augusta closed on Friday at C$3.58 on the Toronto Stock Exchange, well above the implied offer price of C$2.80 a share. Hudbay is offering Augusta shareholders 0.315 of a Hudbay share for each share held.
Augusta's Rosemont copper project in Arizona is considered to be one of the most promising in the United States, and Hudbay's bid came just weeks before Augusta was expected to receive the approvals that would let it begin construction.
"The unsolicited offer is grossly inadequate and does not come close to recognizing the full and fair value of Augusta and the world-class Rosemont project," Augusta executive chairman Richard Warke said in Monday's statment.
Augusta said the timing of the offer was "highly opportunistic."
Rosemont is expected to be the third-largest U.S. copper mine and account for as much as 10 percent of the country's copper output.
Hudbay, which owns about 16 percent of Augusta's outstanding shares, said earlier this month that the enterprise value of the all-stock deal could be about C$540 million ($485 million).
Augusta has scheduled a conference call with analysts and investors for 10 a.m. (1500 GMT).

Mr. Adams' Blues[CD]~ Blake NixProduct Notes
Blake is a singer/songwriter/guitar player based out of Huntsville, Alabama. The songs on this album were mined from years of travel, cassettes, mp3 player/recorders, notebooks and a veritable grocery aisle of restaurant napkins. Mr. Adams' Blues encapsulates the journey of love, loss, and the reflection that comes when it's all 'long gone.' Says Blake, 'Each song on the album stands on it's own, but there's a story there if you listen from start to finish. There's a longing portrayed in the first few songs, which is briefly resolved before turning to feelings of regret and loss by the end of the album.' With an accessible yet reflective sound, Mr. Adams' Blues is the kind of album that lends itself to both first and repeated listens.

Houdini Horse and Baby donk with pink casts I'm not normally a post videos kind of person, but I went to check out this Houdini Horse video, which is good, but after it was over I clicked on the Baby Donkey with pinks casts...and OMG... Cute overload!!! Houdini Horse | Watch the video - Yahoo! Screen |
too , too, cute! |
LOL, I'm glad that clever boy doesn't live in my barn! I have a hard enough time keeping Honor from escaping things, and she can't get into half the trouble (dare I say that?!) a big boy like that could. He's GORGEOUS but he looks like he's houdinied himself into a few too many feed rooms. LOL |
What a naughty, intelligent horse! How neat, would be awful to try to keep him in though! |
That donkey is adorable, and the horse is far to smart!! |
My horse is like that too he eventually had to go in a stall that doesn't have an open top. Poor guy has to behind bars. Although if you try and stall rest him he just takes the whole door off. The Donkey was so cute! |
Now that is a naughty horse! |
Aww the donkey! I've always loved them but the pink casts were just icing on the cake! So cute! |

The terms "volume", "velocity", and "variety" turn up often – very often – in discussions about "Big Data". Gartner's Doug Laney has laid claim to the original collective use of these terms, in a then-META Group article in February 2001 ("3D Data Management: Controlling Data Volume, Veocity, and Variety").
If Mr. Laney is indeed correct that he is the originator of these concepts in the context of Big Data, then his ideas have proved amazingly resilient for an issue that is receiving so much hype recently. Indeed, the use of volume, variety, and velocity have become ubiquitous in any discussion of Big Data. Look up "Big Data" , and the "3 Vs" turn up in abundance (some 79,000 times.)
Although Mr. Laney phrased it as 'volume, velocity, and variety', we analysts, consultants, pundits, and technology writers have mixed it up a bit when using these terms.
Big Data's 3Vs in use
To take a look at how the "3Vs" have been used, I did a Google search of the three terms + "Big Data" from January 1, 2001:
COUNT | PCT of Total | |||||
1 | volume, | variety, | and | velocity | 3,980 | 57.6% |
2 | volume, | velocity, | and | variety | 1,970 | 28.5% |
3 | variety, | velocity, | and | volume | 504 | 7.3% |
4 | velocity, | volume, | and | variety | 236 | 3.4% |
5 | velocity, | variety, | and | volume | 130 | 1.9% |
6 | variety, | volume, | and | velocity | 93 | 1.3% |
6,913 |
To the extent that these variations mean anything, it is interesting to note that while volume has maintained its position at the head of many lists, the terms "variety" and "velocity" are, by a 2:1 margin, inverted from their usage in Doug Laney's 2001 article.
The interesting thing about "big data" is that this is one of the few technology areas defined by the problem rather than by the available solution sets. So it is not surprising, perhaps, to see a lot of focus on the volume part of the problem.
The challenge of "big data" (exploding data volumes, and the increasing complexity of what we want to do with the data) will require serious strategies and solutions. "Volume", "velocity", and "variety" have been employed nearly to the point that they do more for taking up white space as they do for clarifying core issues. It may be time to consider some fresh approaches to talking about "big data", analytics, and other relevant solutions sets. In the meantime, we owe Doug Laney his due for providing such a resilient vocabulary for Big Data.

In 2000, after the movie Hey Ram was released, a rediff.com report read: 'Incidents of violence, mostly by Congress workers (tearing posters of the film and damaging properties of cinemas screening the period drama) have been reported from cities like Calcutta, Varanasi, Nagpur, Indore, Bhopal, Jaipur etc.' It was not just the Congress. The movie shows an ordinary man out to seek revenge for his wife's murder during the Partition riots. He joins a radical Hindu group and plots to assassinate Mahatma Gandhi. The BJP found it anti-Hindutva. The Muslims objected to it because they felt it showed them as responsible for the riots. Kamal Haasan, its director, had achieved the difficult task of offending everyone across the spectrum.
His co-star, in a special appearance, was Shah Rukh Khan. It is ironic that in just the past two weeks, both these men find themselves again facing what Haasan calls 'cultural terrorism'. The release of his movie, Vishwaroopam, has been delayed because fringe Muslim groups felt it portrayed their community as terrorists. An article Shah Rukh wrote on his identity as a Khan is being deliberately misconstrued as anti-national. Rubbishing the inference that he finds himself unsafe in India, he said he was experiencing déjà vu. He was not talking of Hey Ram, but the time when the Shiv Sena used the presence of Pakistani players in the IPL to target him. They threatened to disrupt the screening of My Name is Khan.
Hey Ram had an intelligent premise: a man's journey from absolute hate to redemption. Vishwaroopam promises to be brainless action fare if you go by its promos and other recent works of Haasan, like Dashavataram. It is not a movie that merits an agitation, if at all there is a measure for such things. But that is immaterial. If there is a rabid man with a little rabid crowd behind him, the system gangs up with him because what it is really afraid of is a disruption of order.
Cultural terrorism is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Because someone says something is offensive, it becomes offensive. Millions of Muslims genuinely detest Salman Rushdie but about 0.1 per cent would have read The Satanic Verses. All it needed was for stray voices to say Vishwaroopam was offensive and it has become offensive without anyone seeing the movie. Once this has momentum, even moderates start speaking with qualifiers—'I haven't seen the movie, but if the censors have cleared it, it should not be banned.' Judges give odd advice about arriving at an amicable solution. If that is the key to unlock every conflict, why have courts? Or why even have laws? It is the old Indian middle path at work—let's just paper over this headache and move on with our lives.
That is never going to happen. There are hundreds of thousands of politicians and religious leaders in India. They are ambitious, and the pursuit of power is a career like anything else. They are constantly looking at breaking into public consciousness. Like investment bankers swinging a big deal after working on 20 possible mergers, the business of public outrage also depends on big hits.
A third instance of cultural terrorism was at the Jaipur Literature Festival last week when sociologist Ashis Nandy spoke about a majority of corruption now being a preserve of OBCs, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. To him, it was a good thing because in a convoluted egalitarian way it balanced out the spoils of the system. The seeping down of corruption indicated India's development and social progress. Nandy's point was also about upper castes getting sophisticated about corruption. His argument, though nuanced and a little clever by half, is not very difficult to understand. It is also not radical. If you take OBCs, SCs and STs together, they make up more than two-thirds of the population. Obviously, if the entire country is corrupt, they are going to be in a majority.
Ordinarily, a counter to an argument is an argument. Instead, Nandy now faces a police case after a politician decided that he will claim his two minutes of fame. You would think that a sociologist is too small a fry to become a target. And that is true. Last year, the Jaipur litfest had a more worthy target—Salman Rushdie, whose participation had to be cancelled following a sudden agitation by some local Muslim leaders. Since then, the litfest itself has become a means for easy publicity. Nandy is the corollary. A reminder that if you have the ability to pull a large audience, this is a country where you must tread on glass pieces before opening your mouth.

No, the detention is for being in complete agreement with the Congress's philosophy of imposing dictatorship over the unwashed masses. Tyrants don't like competition.

The most popular form factor for Android tablets is certainly going to be 7 inches, ACERs tablet in this size is running Android will offer a very decent resolution of 1280 × 800 pixels. Another head turning feature will be its 1.2 GHz dual core ARM processor from Qualcomm. s with the 10-inch model will also support Flash 10.1.
The unnamed tablet also offers a front facing camera as well as one on the back. Access to the Internet can be done via 3G or WLAN and in terms of multimedia we know it will have Dolby Digital and DLNA support. In terms of pricing we haven't been given any indication as of yet but we are planning on seeing it hit the streets in April 2011.
If you wanted to check out a quick video of the 7 inch tablet at the press event, here you go!

With the rapid growth of additive manufacturing (AM) it's easy to forget the market is still relatively small when compared to big business. Even the largest AM manufacturers, 3D Systems and Stratasys, aren't large when compared to giants of industry like Apple or GE. Industry analysts have long pondered exactly what might happen to the AM field if a large company decided to enter the fray.
Possibly the best contender to dominate the 3D printing market is HP. Already a known brand name for printers, HP has the resources to crank out AM systems in short order if it decided to become a manufacturer. Now it looks as though HP is preparing to take a bite out of the AM pie by entering the market in 2014.
At the Canalys Channels Forum in Bangkok, HP CEO Meg Whitman announced the company's intention to build 3D printers.
We are excited about 3D printing. We want to lead this business. HP labs is looking at it. 3D printing is in its infancy. It is a big opportunity and we are all over it. We will have something by the middle of next year. -Meg Whitman
Whitman added that HP's main concerns with the technology at its current state are build speeds and the cost associated with buying a top-of-the-line AM system. She also insisted that when HP launches a product it will be something new. That likely means HP won't be partnering with existing manufacturers the way it did with Stratasys in the past.
The timing of the announcement is interesting, given many 3D printing process patents are set to expire next year. It seems likely that HP has been waiting out the patents before entering the market, rather than bargaining for licensing rights or attempting to buy out companies that control the patents. Whether the something new that Whitman promised is a new process, or simply a different take on an existing process is yet to be determined.
HP's entry in AM will undoubtedly shake things up in the market. While some companies have begun to experiment with placing 3D printers is stores, AM systems aren't exactly commonly seen products outside a few specialty shops or those purchased from online vendors. Within months of launching a 3D printer, HP could have the system in stores around the world.
If HP decided to build industrial AM systems, it has the reach and customer base to make an instant impact in that field as well. Assuming HP produces an AM system that is at all competitive with the options currently available on the market, plenty of businesses will probably turn to a trusted partner for their needs, rather than buying from a company that is new to them.
Below you'll find an interview with Meg Whitman about her plans to turn around HP's fortunes.
