Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
Moore's Law describes a long-term technological trend, whereby the capability of electronic devices doubles roughly every two years. Intel (INTC - Free Intel Stock Report) co-founder and tech pioneer Gordon E. Moore first observed this phenomenon in his groundbreaking paper, published in 1965. But even he might be surprised at just how prescient his theories turned out to be.
The mobile devices of today bear little resemblance to the cell phones of the not-so-distant past, rapidly evolving into small computers that fit in the palm of your hand. This space is crowded with hardware and software makers alike, all contending for the attention—and buying power—of consumers around the world. However, many tech watchers believe the field will eventually narrow down to three dominant systems, with two seats likely reserved for industry leader Apple (AAPL) and its juggernaut iOS platform and search giant Google (GOOG) and its mutli-headed Android operating system. In Part 1 of our 3-Part series, we took a closer look at software maker Microsoft (MSFT - Free Microsoft Stock Report), and its chances of claiming that final seat. We now turn our attention to another tech bellwether, computer maker Hewlett-Packard (HPQ - Free Hewlett-Packard Stock Report), a company with a somewhat checkered past in the mobile space.
Though a leader in computer hardware and peripherals, and one of the biggest technology companies in the world, Hewlett-Packard has long been considered an also-ran in the mobile device market, despite a history dating back more than a decade. In fact, H-P first ventured into handsets in 1998 with the Jornada, a small handheld computer that could send and receive faxes, though it lacked the ability to make phone calls. A highly contentious merger with Compaq Computer followed a few years later, which resulted in the Jornada being phased out and replaced by Compaq's similar iPAQ pocket PC. Despite that experience, H-P seemed completely unprepared for the smartphone revolution that followed, and subsequent iPAQ models failed to catch on with consumers.
Although H-P remained a leader in traditional PCs, its prospects in the mobile device market continued to dim, with a dwindling share of the enterprise segment and no presence to speak of in consumer products. Knowing full well that all-things mobile will almost certainly define the tech sector for the foreseeable future, the company made a big splash in late 2010 when it scooped up struggling smartphone maker Palm for a little over $1 billion. Perhaps more important, H-P gained access to Palm's highly-touted WebOS operating system, with plans to extend the platform from smartphones to tablet PCs, H-P-branded printers and scanners, and even its tried-and-true desktop and laptop computers.
Though Palm came at a relative bargain (at the time, H-P had nearly $14 billion in cash and equivalents on hand), it also brought along its fair share of baggage. It's clear that Palm put a lot of care and attention into WebOS, widely hailed for its fluid interface, true multitasking capabilities, and an enviable set of features. However, for all the TLC lavished on the operating system, it became just as apparent that the hardware married to that OS was lackluster at best, and, at times, downright poor. Indeed, Palm built a well-earned reputation for innovative software, but also came to be known, in recent years, for indifferent industrial design, cheap materials, and subpar build quality. Palm also suffered from long gestation periods between the announcement of new products and their availability on the market, a liability in the consumer segment where the collective attention span keeps getting shorter.
Well aware of this phenomenon and the pitfalls it entails, H-P seems determined to close that gap, or at the very least, narrow it considerably. Cutting edge design and build quality isn't necessarily an H-P hallmark, but it does have a wealth of experience at high-tech manufacturing and considerable economies of scale, which ought to drive down materials and component costs. The company's vast, far-reaching distribution channel is another asset, giving consumers more ways to test drive H-P products.
Although a couple of new offerings recently reached the market, H-P seems to be saving its big guns for the second half of 2011, when it plans to unveil a diverse family of WebOS products, including a host of smartphones and tablets. Hewlett-Packard has, in effect, staked its entire mobile strategy on WebOS, a world-class operating system long in need of worthwhile hardware. Only time will tell if the products of this union are up to the considerable challenges that lie ahead.
• Wealth of manufacturing experience
• The prospect of H-P products bundled together sounds compelling
• Vast, efficient distribution channels
• WebOS is widely regarded for its fluid, intuitive user interface
• Many consumers were burned by cheap, underwhelming Palm hardware in recent years
• Negligible market share (and shrinking) outside of Palm/WebOS loyalists
• WebOS has fallen far behind the competition in applications
• Ecosystem (products/peripherals) just isn't there yet

The red dress is finally finished.....Yay!!!!
I finally put the last stitch in this dress today, all I needed to do was hand stitch the hem and add the ribbon trim at the bottom. I am pleased with the way it has turned out and it feels lovely to wear as I interlined it with batiste cotton so that I do not need an underskirt. I did this on a previous dress and it really makes the dress stand away from my legs and therefore I do not need a slip, it is very cool to wear on a hot summer day.
I started this dress in 2012, mmmm took me a while to get around to finishing this, I suppose next time I should finish the garment and then post photos!
The Pattern is Simplicity 2588
Fabric is 100% cotton, the pattern required 2 1/4 yards (2.10 metres)
Cotton batiste for interlining
The back view with a hand sewn prick stitched zip.
I love the pleated sleeves
and the pleats at the back of the dress.
Until next time - happy sewing!

What people say about this Winsome Dayton Storage Hall Bench with Shelves?
Good EnoughI bought this to have something in my doorway to place my shoes. Like others have said, it wobbles. It's not the greatest quality as the bench is not really meant for seating. The bracing is not great and it scares me to sit on as it bows. I only weigh 180lbs. When I first put pressure on the top with my hands it creaked and wobbled. I checked everything to ensure everything was tight, and it was. I even followed directions like a previous review stated. Looking for something just to hold your shoes and look good, go ahead and buy this product. Don't get high hopes and expect quality out of this though.

Must haves for the dorm
The fall semester is fast approaching, and�whether this is your first year or you're a seasoned student, you may have started hunting for dorm decor between barbecues and trips to the beach. Stores often provide helpful checklists for what you'll need, and while they often are on the right track, they tend to steer you toward low-quality designs. Though these items are inexpensive, and it's important to save money for the impending living expenses you'll have during the next year, chances are you'll end up tossing the cheap stuff after graduation. In the long run, investing in well-made home furnishings�will be�a wise decision. Here are some things you may want to consider buying to make the post-grad interior design transition a breeze.�
Custom window treatments will be a welcome departure from the dull shades that come with the dorm, and will better fit in what are frequently uniquely-shaped windows. Not to mention�the typical window treatments found at dorm supply stores feature brightly color patterns that you'll soon outgrow. Simple blinds and shades can act as a mature accent to the room, and you can put vibrant patterns elsewhere, such as on a throw blanket or duvet cover�-�things that are relatively inexpensive to replace. High quality window treatments will impress your friends, and will likely follow you to your first apartment.�
Vintage posters, either for food or your favorite black and white movie, make for quirky wall adornments. If�you take care of them, these posters�can be framed after graduation and hung in a grown-up pad. How adult is that! Trending now in decor are typographical representations of various cities: With the skyline or geographical map constructed with the names of different boroughs. These can be used to show some hometown pride or embrace your new hometown. You could also do both side by side to represent your past�and your future, and they'll translate well into life after college.�
Dorms always come with the basics: A desk and desk chair, a bed and some sort of bureau. In some cases, you can have facilities store these items and substitute them for your own. A swiveling chair may be a more comfortable option for you, which you'll be grateful for come finals week. That, or you could put a nice seat cover or cushion on top of the existing chair. Depending on the size of the room, you may want to get a second chair. For this furnishing, opt for a comfy circle chair in a relatively subdued color (hot pink won't look so stylish in a few years), and consider steering away from faux suede, and get a model in corduroy�or nylon instead.�
To store books, electronics, photo frames and other items, you'll need some sort of shelving unit. You may be tempted to purchase�a wire version, but think about getting one made of wood instead. If you look for one that's made of a lightweight material, it will make moving in and out a breeze. For a lamp, alarm clock and other bedside stuff, get a small nightstand. Again, wood looks sophisticated, and a less heavy model will have the convenience of plastic.�
Kitchen wares
You won't need much in the form of kitchen supplies,�as your dorm will likely have a kitchen on every floor. However, for a healthy breakfast, consider getting a small blender. Bargain hunts will reveal that some models, while effective, are very inexpensive. Berry and fruit smoothies for breakfast in the morning will help you to maintain your health during the freshman transition, and are a fast meal for on the go, for those 8 am classes.�

The euro hit a 14-month high against the U.S. dollar and 33-month peak against the yen on Friday, the beneficiary of stronger-than-forecast euro zone manufacturing data and expectations of easy monetary policy form Washington and Tokyo.
Friday's U.S. jobs data reaffirmed expectations the U.S. Federal Reserve will maintain its stimulative monetary policy, thereby making the greenback less desirable.
Bets the Bank of Japan will ease its monetary policy further extended the yen's downturn, putting it at a 2-1/2 year nadir against the U.S. dollar.
"The euro has been bid for the last month on reduced tail risks in the euro zone and a shrinking balance sheet of the European Central Bank is pushing short-term rates higher as a result. Everywhere else people are printing money, so on a relative basis, the ECB is tighter," said Greg Anderson, currency strategist at CitiFX in New York.
A rally in U.S. stocks added to the momentum as investors shed the safe-haven Japanese currency, and despite its modest economic growth, made the euro more attractive on a relative basis.
The U.S. economy added 157,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department said, slightly below market expectations and the unemployment rate edged up to 7.9 percent. But job growth in the previous two months was revised higher.
"The latest data is a great mix for a broadening of the 'risk on' trade, with solid payrolls data showing underlying growth was robust into the fiscal cliff," said Alan Ruskin, head of G10 FX strategy at Deutsche Bank in New York. "The rise in the unemployment rate should (be) more friendly for all trades that were fearful of an early Fed withdrawal from QE."
"In sum, for FX nothing to detract from the long euro trade." He added the data should also weigh on the dollar, with the exception of dollar/yen.
The euro rose as high as $1.3711, its strongest since mid-November 2011. It was last at $1.3662, up 0.62 percent on the day. On the week, the euro gained about 1.5 percent versus the dollar.
Further upside targets are seen at $1.3833-35, the 61.8 percent retracement of the move down from May 2011 to July 2012, which also coincides with the July 2011 low. A break of that area opens the door to a rise toward $1.40.
"The main takeaway from the jobs report is that there's no major acceleration or deterioration in the labor market, so that keeps the Fed firmly on hold," said Kathy Lien, managing director BK Asset Management in New York.
The Fed repeated Wednesday that it would keep overnight rates near zero until the unemployment rate hits 6.5 percent, as long as inflation does not threaten to exceed 2.5 percent.
The Fed's bond-buying and loose monetary policies have pressured the dollar and analysts said the dollar will maintain a negative bias as long as the U.S. central bank continues on that path.
Yen Pounded
The dollar rose 1.1 percent to a session high 92.80 yen late in New York trade. This is the greenback's best level against the yen since June 2010. For the week, the dollar rose 2 percent and after 12 straight weeks of gains is up 16.6 percent on the Japanese currency.
The dollar extended gains versus the yen after U.S. data showed the pace of manufacturing growth picked up in January to its highest level in nine months, while consumer sentiment unexpectedly improved in January.
Selling the yen has become a one-way bet, with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe heaping relentless pressure on the Bank of Japan to ease monetary policy aggressively to jolt the economy out of a decade-long malaise.
The euro rose as high as 126.96 yen, the best level since April 2010, and was last up 1.75 percent at 126.69 yen.
(Read More: Remember the Yen Carry Trade? Well It's Back)
News that banks will repay less than expected in European Central Bank three-year loans next week dented some demand for the euro, but losses were limited by optimism the worst of the region's debt crisis is over.
Earlier, a Purchasing Managers' Index survey showed euro zone factories had their most resilient month in nearly a year during January, helped by solid German output.
The euro surged to a 15-month high against the pound, with a gain of 1.5 percent to 0.8695 pence which marked the best single-day gain since October 2009.
CitiFX's Anderson noted the rise was fueled by both the euro zone manufacturing data and next Thursday's testimony of incoming Bank of England head Mark Carney before Parliament's Treasury Committee.
If Carney advocates for a target range on inflation of 1 to 3 percent rather than a hard 2 percent target currently, that would give the BOE more room to ease monetary policy and debase the pound.
"The BOE has a bad reputation for sticking to its inflation target. If he says he's in favor of a 1 to 3 percent range that could lead to more euro/sterling buying. It's gone to the moon already, but it might now go to the sun," said Anderson.

Conner & Keith where super friendly and very professional!!! They hauled out everything we needed them to in about 20 minutes. Definitely worth every penny and we are extremely happy customers. Thanks so much!!!

analism ceremony
THIS video is in my top 10. She's not faking it, it's indeed real. I too can orgasm like that but never really thought of what it looks like on the outside, all I know is what I'm feeling on the inside of pure physical pleasure, sometimes squirting, most of the time not...and being catapulted into some kind of ecstatic out-of-body experience - utter dopamine & serotonin overdose as it takes me a couple of hours to return back to 'normal' so that I can function and carry-on like nothing happend...but oh, if people only knew... And the way he kisses her so tenderly at the end ... THAT's how you do it, Gentlemen, take note.
Really that's just sad
All notes taken
Secretsexlife, if you do indeed orgasm like this beautiful little ckick I would love to get my long hard dick in your warm wet cunt. I would fuck you every hour on the hour for a week until you vibrated like a Mexican Jumping Bean. I would fill your pussy with so much cum it would look like a white river running out of your cunt. I would make sure that you cum so much that you would get close to passing out each time I slid my hard dick in your pussy and you moaned for more orgasmic pleasure.
Holy shit, boys and girls, this is what is called a quivering spastic orgasm. She is very pretty with such a great ass and she really looks like she is hardly old enough for puberty. I can see why he is bringing her to orgasm and what a pleasure for both of them. He fucked her out of her mind as she probably did not know where or who she was for several minutes. Wouldn't we all like to have that kind of fucking experience? Secretsexlife understands that more than most of us.
That is indeed how I do it. ;)
teach me!
I loved a few hours with you if that's how you react!
sure like to meet u
If every woman on Earth could come like that the world would be a much happier place.
I've never squirted can someone fuck so I can do this
what, you mean like through a gallon of water and out of sync? also sorry to ruin the magic but guys are responsible for how hard a lady comes. just sayin.
you aint lying about that!!!
is it just me or is the audio out of sync????
surprised the guy gets any chick to stay long enough to fuck with that nasty ass room.
It is true. All women want to be fucked like this. Found myself wishing it was me under him.
When I saw him fucking her through her orgasm I thought the same.. I wanna be that girl under him
she let him wear his chain but not his turtle neck sweater.
I was just thinking the same thing. Funniest comment by far.
WOW Fucking nice orgasm
Definitely a real orgasm, she may look like she's possessed, but that's pure ecstasy/pleasure, my friends.
By the scripture inscribed upon my cock, I exorcise thee foul demon!
Is that sex or is that an exorcism ? Holy shit hahahaha :D
Of course she's having an orgasm... A good one, as it seems! You should try it, instead of making fun of her ;)
ghow fucking beautiful. those two will stay together forever, u can see it :)
I want him to fuck me just like that all night. What a sexy voice.
i like to
can please some one fucke me like that
fb link pls
come i will play u babyy

Mmm I was gonna say the same thing,I think I'll say it anyway because it turns me on lol;I want all you guys here to fuck me as good as this guy does. Jenny wants it too(and I want her
i like too
you people act like youve never scene a real orgasm before.
Looked like she was either convulsing or he had carved the holy scripture into his cock and this was all taped mid exorcism.
I would not be having sex on that nasty ass floor
lol hahahahhahahhaahhaha
Jordan is right on the money. I had a girlfriend who used to come at least as hard as this every time. As he says, you boys who think it's a seizure either need to get out more or work on your technique.... This woman is gorgeous, by the way, and very very sexy, Female sexuality - nothing to be scared of...
ohhhh she is coming i like it.
This is a Counter-Strike 1.6 Zombie Mod injected on youporn.com
I think she's possessed.
omg tht was freaky defo high on speed lol
i like how the sounds bugs out. makes her seem even more crazy
Expert >
sexy young guy wow
I dont know if I am more jealous of her body OMG flexible and perfect boobs! or that her boyfriend is that cute and AWESOME at fucking! I am not sure she was totally done at the end, but she looked happy! Showing this to my husband and asking him to take notes! Also, love the music!
I'm an epileptric. That was NOT a seizure. Absolutely 100% not. That is a woman having one helluva orgasm. It happens. Hell, if a man knows what he's doing and the woman is very orgasmic, it's a regular occurrence. Ask my wife. Insidentally, the brain of a woman having a powerful orgasm is quite similar to the brain of a person having a a grand mal seizure. Which might explain some of similarities that seem so disturbing to you all. But rather than concern yourself with uninformed medical opinions, I suggest that the doubting men here learn how to make love to a woman, and to you disbelieving women, maybe you should try to get to the same ecstatic level the charming girl is able to reach.
Just i can say wooooooooooooooooooooooooow
she had a seizure on that disgusting floor!
This girl is beautiful. Who is she?

Perfect. It's up there as the best I've seen. I've always wanted sex like that hard but sweet. He fucked her into a perfect orgasm. It rolled through her body like an electric shock.

The QMBasic socket functions have been extended to handle UDP connections.
The BASIC command now supports the NO.PAGE option. This option can also be specified via the $BASIC.OPTIONS record.
The CATALOGUE command will now retain the security subroutine definition when locally recataloguing a program that has a security subroutine defined.
The DELETE.ACCOUNT command now supports the FORCE option to suppress the cross-check for files referenced from other accounts.
The PHANTOM command now has a NO.LOG option to suppress generation of a log record in the $COMO file.
The SETPTR command NOEJECT option can be used to suppress the normal page throw at the end of a print job.
The STATUS command now supports the ALL keyword to display the status of all phantom processes. Without this keyword, only phantoms started by the process in which the command is executed are displayed.
The TIME command has been extended to allow translation between internal and external format time values.
The CSV and DELIMITER clauses of a query now both support use of AS to specify that output is to be sent to a record in a directory file. This is an alternative to use of TO which takes a pathname.
The LIST.ITEM and SORT.ITEM commands now support use of COL.SUP to suppress field numbering and use of ID.SUP to suppress display of the record id.
For improved compatibility with Pick systems, the IF keyword can be used in place of WHEN in a query.
A single query may now have multiple SAVING clauses.
The $MODE QMBasic compiler directive now supports a HEADING.NO.EJECT mode to make the NO.EJECT option of the HEADING statement the default action.
The QMBasic INPUT, INPUT @ and INPUTFIELD statements no longer display the prompt character when taking input from the DATA queue. Use of the NO.ECHO.DATA option of the $MODE compiler directive suppresses echo of input data when using INPUT.
The QMBasic SYSTEM(19) function returns a unique value formed from the internal format date and time as two five digit values. If the function is used more than once system wide in the same second, an alphabetic suffix is added to ensure that the value is unique.
The QMBasic UNLOCK statement can now be used without a lock number to release all tasks locks owned by the process.
QMBasic programs will now take the ON ERROR clause, if present, if a program attempts to use a file handling statement when the file variable supplied does not correspond to an open file.
The QMBasic SELECTV statement now uses the same optimisation as generation of numbered select lists with SELECT where processing a dynamic hashed file builds the list group by group as the list is read.
Three new additive values have been added to the OPTION configuration parameter for the QMSvc service on Windows to disable logging of successful incoming connections. A value of 16 disables logging of telnet connections. A value of 32 disables logging of QMClient connections. A value of 64 disables logging of serial port connections.
Use of qm -k from the operating system command processor has been extended to add the ability to kill a process by pid.
The D conversion code X element produces an ANSI X12 format date (YYYYMMDD with no separators).
The DISABLE.INDEX command can be used to disable update and use of one or more alternate key indices. Importing large volumes of data or performing intensive update processing may be faster if indices are disabled and then rebuilt because BUILD.INDEX can optimise the update sequence whereas import or processing is likely to be effectively random.
The PTERM command can now be used to display or modify the code page used by Windows console sessions.
This release introduces a further layer to QM's data encryption system whereby it can be made necessary to enter the master encryption key using UNLOCK.KEY.VAULT every time that QM is started (once only, not once per user login). This ensures that encrypted data is inacessible if the entire system is stolen. It is recommended for use with portable systems.
The QMBasic EQUATE statement has been extended to include the LITERALLY element found in other multivalue products. In addition, equated tokens may now be used in any position within QMBasic source, not just as variable names. This wider use may cause some programs that relied on the limited substitution in earlier versions to need generate compilation errors. Such programs will need modification.
The QMBasic SET.BREAK.HANDLER statement can be used to establish a subroutine which will be called if the user presses the break key. This subroutine allows an application to take its own action for handling use of the break key. The handler will be deactivated when the program terminates. Alternatively, the corresponding REMOVE.BREAK.HANDLER statement can be used to deactivate the handler.
The @(-29) and @(-30) terminal control codes (set 80 column mode and set 132 column mode), previously only available for the QMTerm terminal type are now supported on all AccuTerm terminal definitions. Two new terminfo tokens, set80 and set132 have been introduced to define the control codes.
This release introduces the concept of a private vocabulary, searched after all other command sources when looking up the command name provided as the first token in a command line. The private vocabulary is separate for each user login name and allows users to store personal sentences, paragraphs, etc without placing these in the publc vocabulary shared by all users of the account. The privte vocabulary is a multi-file named PVOC with subfiles named as the uppercase form of the user login names. This file may be created and edited directly or by use of an extended form of the .D, .L, .R and .S command stack editor commands.
The GET.LIST and SAVE.LIST commands now include the COUNT.SUP option to suppress display of the number of items in the list.
The LISTF, LISTFL and LISTFR commands now show the details for each element of a multifile separately.
The LISTQ output has been extended to include the optional server name used when defining a QMNet connection.
The UMASK command can be used to control the access rights applied to files created within the QM session.
The default value of the INTPREC configuration parameter has been changed from 13 to 11 as the previous value was found to be inadequate. This change will not affect upgrades to existing installations. In this case, the value of INTPREC must be modified in the configuration file.
Dictionary link (L-type) records can now be used within I-type expressions to access D or I-type items in another file without needing to write a separate TRANS() function with its associated record id expression for every item referenced in the other file.
When the PICK.GRAND.TOTAL mode of the OPTION command is in effect, the query processor now provides closer compatibility with Pick style systems where there is no underline above the grand total values. This underline can be reinserted by use of the U control option in the GRAND.TOTAL clause. If PICK.GRAND.TOTAL is not active, the U control option removes the underline.
The QMBasic MATCHESS() compares each element of a dynamic array with a pattern template, returning an equivalently structured dynamic array of true/false values. Note the spelling of this function name with the trailing S to pluralise the name in common with other multivalue functions.
The SETPTR command now uses an optional $PCL VOC record to set defaults for PCL printers. This can be used, for example, to change the default A4 page size from A4 to Letter. Details of this new control record can be found in the QM Reference Manual description of the SETPTR command.
The QMBasic OSREAD and OSWRITE statements provide a very simple way to read or write an operating system file. These statements take no part in the locking system and should, therefore, be used with care. The data is a true bianry image of the file content with no translation of newline sequences.
The QMBasic OSDELETE statement allows a program to delete an operating system file by pathname.
System administrators can use the INHIBIT.LOGIN command to prevent new QM sessions logging in. This action does not logout other users who are already active. Whilst login is inhibited, the only new QM processes that can be started are phantoms created by the user that set the inhibit.
When a print job is directed to a file using the AS NEXT option of the SETPTR command to generate a rotating sequence number, this sequence number can be determined using the QMBasic GETPU() function while the print unit is open. The most recent print job sequence number used within a QM session can be found using the @SEQNO variable.
The PICK.PROC mode of the OPTION command can be used to enable closer compatibility with D3 Procs. At this release, enabling this option affects the IH command in PQ style Procs such that the special meaning of IH\ and IH \ is not recognised. Although this syntax is documented in the D3 reference manual, D3 does not actually treat the \ as a special symbol. Also, the IH command always behaves as though the B option is present. Use of this option also implies the PROC.A option. Further compatibility features may be controlled by this option in future releases.
The PDUMP configuration parameter can be used to close a potential security risk by preventing users other than administrators dumping processes running under a different user name.
The record locking system has been modified to include an optimisation that will improve performance of closing files on systems with large record lock tables.
The terminfo xmc parameter is now supported. This indictates the number of screen character cells occupied by a change of display attribute and can be used to determine if the terminal type in use requires space to be left for attribute changes.
The MCT conversion code is implemented differently across multivalue products. Previous versions of QM followed the D3 definition where the first letter after a non-alphabetic character was converted to uppercase, all remaining letters to lowercase. At this release the MCT.SPACE mode of the OPTION command can be used to provide compatibility with UniVerse where the character immediately after a space is converted to uppercase.
The UNASSIGNED.COMMON option of the QMBasic $MODE compiler directive can be used to specify that common blocks are to be created with their elements left unassigned instead of the default behaviour of setting them to zero. This gives closer compatibility with some other multivalue products. Programs using this feature will not run on earlier versions of QM.
The QMBasic WRITECSV statement can now write a whole dynamic array as a single data item, treating each field as a separate item in the CSV list..
This release introduces data encryption for QM hashed files. Full details can be found in the QM Reference Manual. Encryption is not supported in the Personal Version and is not available on the PDA at this release.
QM now attempts to use telnet negotiation to determine the terminal type in use for users entering QM directly from a network. If this fails, it then falls back on the previous method of using the TERM environment variable.
The Personal Version of QM now allows simulataneous use of one interactive session, one QMClient session and one phantom process.
The size of the command stack maintained by the command processor can be set by use of the CMDSTACK configuration parameter. This must be in the range 20 to 999 and defaults to 99 if not present. Creation of a new account now adds the $COMMAND.STACK VOC record automatically. This record can be deleted if the command stack is not to be saved on leaving QM.
The COPY and COPYP command now both have an option to force a binary mode copy when moving data between a hashed file and a directory file in either direction.
The INTERNAL keyword to the DATE command can be used to show the current date in internal form. Similarly, TIME INTERNAL shows the current time in internal form (seconds since midnight).
The behaviour of the Proc A(n,m) command can be made to match that of D3 by use of the PROC.A mode of the OPTION command.
Handling of the $QUERY.DEFAULTS record has been modified considerably. See the QM Reference Manual for details.
The QSELECT command now uses the default select list (list 0) if it is active and no record ids or FROM clause is present in the command line.
The B64 conversion code can be used to translate to or from base64 encoding.
The @GID and @UID variables contain the group id and user id for the user's process. The QMBasic SYSTEM() function has new keys to return the user id (27), effective uid (28), group id (29) and effective group id (30). These features are not available on Windows or the PDA where they all return zero.
The QMBasic compiler XREF option now tracks label name references as well as variables.
The QMBasic compiler now allows use of $INSERT as a synonym for $INCLUDE.

To Catch A ThiefDVD - 2007
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Following the huge box-office success of his Technicolor crime/thriller "Rear Window" - British film director, Alfred Hitchcock returned in full-force with 1955's "To Catch A Thief" (TCAT, for short).
Starring 2 of Hollywood's most appealing and reliable actors of the 1950s (Grace Kelly and Cary Grant) - TCAT is a riveting roller-coaster ride that takes the viewer to the cosmopolitan location of the French Riviera where jewel thieving, romance, and glamour all go hand-in-hand.
You can be sure - Hitchcock offers you a story of deadly intrigue that accelerates into an adrenaline-rush climax that's guaranteed to keep you glued to your seat till the final credits start rolling by.
My god, was Grace Kelly beautiful! And the scenes of the Riviera shot from a helicopter are stunning.
"To Catch a Thief", 1955, Hitchcocks pairs Cary Grant with Grace Kelly. (Grant did 4 films for the ovate Hitchcock and Kelly did 3.) Retired jewel thief John Robie seeks to salvage his reputation as a gone-straight former thief by finding out the identity of a copy-cat thief who seems to duplicate all of Robie's style. Grace Kelly is the beautiful daughter of a very wealthy woman who owns the kinds of jewels to attract the jewel thief. There is more romance than intrigue or suspense in this picture. Hitchcock obsessed with blond leading ladies. Veteran English actor John Williams adds good support. One interesting fact is that in this film Grace Kelly's mother is played by Jessie Royce Landis who plays Cary Grant's mother in 'North by Northwest'. Landis was only 8 years older than Grant. The French setting in 1955 is very appealing. No over-done violence and no lurid sex scenes makes this movie a relief from today's classless movie making. The coloring of this film is marvelous.
Totally enjoyable. I watched this movie to see G Kelly in action and was totally thrilled by her, C Grant and the movie by the master A Hitchcock. I expected it to be "dated" but again, was happily surprised that it wasn't an issue.
Cary Grant's disturbingly leathery tan is the only thing to mar this otherwise sumptuous piece of eye candy from Alfred Hitchcock. It's not Hitch's greatest by a longshot, but Grace Kelly and Grant are fun to watch, and the sweeping helicopter shots of the French Riviera must have been mind-blowing to audiences in 1955. This movie really takes its time; it's an interesting difference between now and then, as is the lifestyle of Grant's character, whose profession--cat burglar--seems to be something one used to hear about quite a bit, but rarely does now. Perhaps more sophisticated alarm systems and super rich who don't wear jewels around in public have really hurt that profession. This one is worth a watch for arm chair travelers, or fans of Hitchcock, Kelly, or Grant.
Pure entertainment with a beautiful cast. One cannot go wrong with Gary Grant and Grace Kelly.
Alfred Hitchcock directed many movies, among them Rear Window, Rebecca, Notorious, and Shadow of a Doubt, but the Hitchcock film that I watch over and over is To Catch a Thief. Yes, it is corny, and yes, in some places even trite, but the actors, the scenery, and the suspense hold my interest. So what's it about, you ask? The Cat has returned. The Cat was the most famous jewel thief in Europe before WWII. Or possibly someone who can imitate the Cat in every detail. John Robie (formerly known as the Cat) has a choice: catch the imposter or go straight to jail. Who is telling the truth: Robie's former associates, the police, or Robie himself? Based on a crime thriller by David Dodge (his books are being published by Hard Case Crime), this 1955 movie will delight you, entice you to travel to the French Riviera, or make you look considerate in the eyes of your significant other as if you have chosen a movie just for him or her. And as a bonus, consider the eye candy: Cary Grant, Grace Kelley, and Brigitte Auber, such flowers as have not flourished in Hollywood before or since.
This was definitely a charming film. Hitchcock's follow-up to his highly successful prior pieces, "Rear Window", and "Dial M for Murder". I am, unfortunately, unlike most on this page, more prone to prefer those two over this one. A big production, granted; lots of beautiful people in beautiful vistas and life is beautiful. Even the criminals are beautiful, for crying out loud. Heavy on romance. Light on suspense. And that's where it lost some points for me. I'm not discrediting that, by any means; if pompous blue-haired people prancing around in Louis XV period gowns are your thing, more power to ya. I simply am not one who's into the whole glamour and glitz thing. Give me a raw black and white film noir with ugly mugs and ditzy dames and flatfoots trying to figure out who stiffed the stiff any day of the week and I'm happy. Nice film here, just too gooey for me.
If you are interested we will be discussing this movie at the Carlingwood Library Film Club on October 8/13 at 7:00 pm. See you there
One of my favourite Hitchcock films. Cary Grant is suave and charming as the former thief trying to uncover who's behind a series of thefts, Grace Kelly is radiant, and the supporting cast is ideal. The chemistry between the leads is outstanding, the writing gives us a very clever, playful, and suspenseful story, and Hitchcock, a true master of direction, brings it all together. If you haven't seen this movie before, you're really missing out.
QuotesAdd a Quote
DANIELLE:"If you were in South America with me, you will know exactly what will happen." ROBIE:"You make it sound dangerous either way." DANIELLE:"It would be so much nicer to be killed by love, no?" ROBIE:"Pardon me while I get the water out of my ear." DANIELLE: "John, you know what sort of men they are at Bertani's. Another robbery, and they will do something to you." ROBIE: I think I'd better get back." DANIELLE:"What has she got more than me—except money? And you are gathering plenty of that." ROBIE:"Danielle, you are just a girl. She is a woman." DANIELLE:"Why do you want to buy an old car, if you can get a new one cheaper? It will run better and last longer." ROBIE:"It looks as if my old car just drove off." FRANCIE:"No it hasn't. It's just turned amphibious."
Frances Stevens (of the chicken -- lol): "You want a leg or a breast?" John Robie: "...You make the choice."

Saint Michael's and Middlebury
In order to broaden the immediate availability resources in the academic institutions in this collaborative, the signatories of this agreement are extending borrowing privileges to students, faculty and staff of all their institutions. It is understood that such borrowing is meant to supplement, not substitute for, the library collections of the borrower's home institution. It is further understood that the home library's resources should be fully utilized before the other libraries', including owned collections and reference assistance. Once these conditions are met, however, reciprocal borrowing will be made as simple as possible for all parties.
Who may borrow
All registered students of the signatories' institutions, and all faculty and staff whether full or part time, are eligible for this borrowing privilege at the other institution's. Borrowing will not be extended to affiliates of any one of the institutions, whether the affiliation is cooperative or financial, nor to any library's guest borrowers.
Borrowing Procedures
All borrowers must bring to the lending library a currently validated and bar-coded photo ID from the home institution. This ID must be presented each time that materials are to be borrowed, and may be requested for admittance and other library services as well.
Students (full-time and part-time, undergraduate and graduate) must also bring the requisite permission form from the home library, appropriately signed by a library staff member following a reference interaction to determine the borrowing need. The permission will be for the month's duration from date of issue. The form will be kept by the lending library. (Some institutions my waive this, at their choice, for some or all of other institutions in the collaborative. Waiver can never be assumed.)
As much as practicable, in setting up its records the lending library will use the borrower's home ID as a borrower card. (The same ID bar-code number should work in must DRA systems.)
At any one time, a borrower may have a total of five items checked out from the lending library. The lending library will determine borrowing periods and other circulation regulations.
Each library reserves the right to impose restrictions on select materials.
For recalled or overdue materials, the lending library will not send the fist notice directly to the borrower, and any subsequent notice(s) to the home institution for follow-up action.
The borrower's home institution accepts final responsibility for unreturned/lost materials, at a cost per item to b determined by the lending library.
Interlibrary loan services remain the responsibility of the home library.
This agreement will be reviewed annually by the library directors.

Avenue81 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 309 designs submitted by 60 freelance designers.
The Offers Club
I curse a lot.
The Offers Club (PM) is a monthly membership website aimed at (and marketed to) 25 to 45-year-old men seeking an alternative to corporate life. The site is about internet marketing and making money online. The Offers Club tagline is "We're All In This Together"; this tagline is also our unique selling proposition (USP).
I'm proud of the fact that for every month someone is a member of The Offers Club, we pay for a month of schooling for one freed slave in Africa (including books, teachers, room and board). In one of our banner ads we say "You get Freedom Education, THEY Get Freedom Education.
Smart, educated, 25-45-year-old men seeking an alternative to corporate life. They want to be rebellious AND respected. They want to start online businesses and make money online.
The logo should say "The Offers Club". Subtitle or slogan should say "We're All In This Together"
The logo should have a symbol.The symbol should indicate membership & sense of PLACE.It should be a place (perhaps a circle) that someone can be inside of.Like membership in an exclusive tribe,or like presence at an exclusive party.
The symbol should NOT be business-y and it should NOT contain dollar signs or any money in the graphic.I'd like the colors to include blues and oranges/reds. Kind of like this: http://screencast.com/t/M2ZjNWY0NDgt
The graphic needs to be borderline grungy enough to make the members feel like they're part of a rebellious social movement. It also needs to be elegant and professional enough to justify a HIGH price. (The look and feel of the logo needs to be consistent with a very high priced product).
I'd like the logo to be perhaps gritty & web 2.0 . . .
I like these images:

Why sad movies make you happy
By Denise Foley
From Completely You
In 1978, I went to see the movie The Deer Hunter with a group of friends. Around the midpoint of the film, which explored the devastating effects of the Vietnam War on a group of friends from a small industrial town in western Pennsylvania, I started to cry. By the end of the film, I was sobbing. And to my friends' embarrassment, I continued to sob even as we got into our car in the crowded parking garage. I was a mess.
Fast-forward to a year later. I am in my little apartment, doing my Saturday morning cleaning, with the TV humming in the next room. I suddenly become aware of music playing, and although I don't recognize the tune, I find my eyes filling with tears. I go to the living room to see what it is. It's a promo. For The Deer Hunter.
Fast-forward to today. In a study published in the journal Communication Research, Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, a communications professor at Ohio State University, and colleagues found that people love sad movies because of their unlikely benefit: They can make you happy.
Knobloch-Westerwick's study involved 361 college students who watched an abridged version of the 2007 film Atonement, a film about two separated lovers who become the casualties of war. (It was drawn from the book by Ian McEwan, one of my favorite authors, though I found its overarching theme -- that one can make a mistake that reverberates over a lifetime -- far sadder than the story of doomed love.)
Before, during and after watching the film, the viewers were asked about their lives and feelings. The researcher wanted to determine how happy they were before plunging them into the big-screen chaos and tragedy, then to track their fluctuating emotions as the story unfolded and ended.
At the film's conclusion, Knobloch-Westerwick and her colleagues asked the students how much they enjoyed the movie and to write about how it led them to reflect on themselves, their lives, their relationships, and life in general.
And here's where the unexpected happened. The viewers who felt saddest while watching the movie were more likely to write about people with whom they had close relationships. That in turn increased their happiness afterward. Sad movies may make you cry, as Sue Thompson sang in her 1961 bobby-soxer hit, but they also seem to remind you that your life isn't so bad.
"People seem to use tragedies as a way to reflect on the important relationships in their own life -- to count their blessings," said Knobloch-Westerwick in an interview. "That can help explain why tragedies are so popular with audiences, despite the sadness they induce."
There might even be a chemical reason for the paradox. Across the OSU campus from Knobloch-Westerwick is David Huron, professor of arts and humanities at the School of Music and the Center for Cognitive Science. In his studies exploring the emotional effects of sad music, he found that when people are feeling sad, their bodies produce a hormone called prolactin. Yes, the same hormone linked to breastfeeding in women. He knows because he took people's blood while they were listening to sad and happy music and analyzed it. (Read a synopsis of the study here.)
Listening to sad music actually thrusts you into a "sham" state of sadness so that your body produces prolactin, nature's version of a warm hug. Huron believes that prolactin has a consoling effect that is meant to be protective.
So there you have it. In our "down the rabbit hole" world, sad is happy. I still can't watch The Deer Hunter or Old Yeller, though. I've never seen Bambi and don't plan to relive the Titanic sinking in 3D. But I do listen to sad music when I'm sad and I have to admit, it does make me feel better. In fact, I'm even a bit concerned that Adele has announced she's no longer writing sad songs. What will I do now when I have the blues?

Boonville baseball defeats Pilot Grove
The Boonville Pirate Baseball Team came prepared to take on Pilot Grove, Wednesday night at Harley Park. Pirate Radio announcer Dane Gregg threw the first pitch to open the night.
Although the pirates got off to a slow start, they soon came back to beat Pilot Grove with a final score of 9-5.
"Pilot Grove is a good quality team and although it was a sloppy game defensively, this was a great baseball game to play for us and them. Fortunately we were able to capitalize on a few of their errors and pick up a win. Caleb Hein did not have his best game of the year but he gutted it out to get his second win of the season," Boonville Pirate Baseball Coach Tim Edwards said.
"I want to thank all the fans that came out to support not only the boys and the game, but even more for Dane. It was a beautiful night to honor him and his battle," Pilot Grove Baseball Coach Clint Poulsen said.
The third inning brought with it the first scores for the evening. Furthermore, each inning thereafter had scores from both teams.
"I was proud of how we battled the entire game and came back after getting down 7-2 to make a game of it, but contrary to what some thought we don't play the game for getting close we play to win and tonight Boonville was the better team. Good luck to coach Edwards and the Pirates as they head into district play next weekend," Poulson said.

We're assuming this video was shot in Russia, because who else would be crazy and cunning enough to snag live sheep from a moving truck and drop them in an also moving sidecar? Just watch the video.
This video was uploaded to YouTube yesterday, but clearly taken from somewhere else. Is it old? Is it new? Russia always looks like 1993 in videos so it's hard to tell. Either way, Bravo.

A league of their own?
January 23, 2011 2 Comments
Something that has been spoken about in many pubs and bars across Europe for many years is the prospect of a European Super League. How many times have you heard someone make the statement "It's inevitable, football's all about money anyway and TV money drives everything so it'll happen". Usually this is closely followed up by someone else chiming in with "Yes but, who wants to watch Man U – Real Madrid four times a season, what about the local rivalries?"
And so it goes. Most supporters feel that someone, somewhere is working away at making this happen and that there is a willingness there, a desire to make this happen. However, you look at the current set up for the clubs, the money-spinning Premier League and the really major cash-machine of the Champions League.
Why change? Well certain other planets are currently coming into alignment which might push the game's power brokers into reviewing their future horoscopes.
Platini's so-called financial fair play rules are upon us. Rules which may – on the face of things – make European football more equitable and lessen the power and influence of the major clubs.
In short, clubs could be banned from European competition from the 2014/15 season onwards if they do not comply with the new financial rules. So what will this mean for the clubs? -read on>

Ashley Cullum, the vice president of business development for Paragon National Bank, has added some new institutions to what's become a long list of civic groups she works with outside the bank.
A Paragon employee since 2008, in addition to being a wife and mother of two children, Cullum has been appointed to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of the Mid-South associate board as vice chair and to the Baptist Memorial Health Care pediatrics advisory council board as a member.
It's emblematic of what Paragon long has encouraged its employees to do in the community. Since its inception, Paragon has provided 40 hours of time each year for all employees to participate with a nonprofit during regular business hours.
During 2011, 68 percent of Paragon's employees participated in 19 nonprofit organizations. Organizations the bank and its employees have been involved with include the Memphis Symphony Orchestra, Shelby Farms Park Conservancy, the Germantown Kiwanis Club, the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Memphis, the Arthritis Foundation and many more.
Beyond Make-A-Wish and the Baptist pediatrics advisory council board, Cullum is an active participant with the Germantown Area Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Memphis Chamber, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the Mid-South Food Bank.
It's the kind of deep community involvement, with his employees not only helping customers but improving the neighborhoods around where they work, that Paragon CEO Robert Shaw likes to see.
"We're proud of the work Ashley is doing for both our customers and the community," Shaw said. "Paragon dedicates a significant amount of time supporting and volunteering for many local organizations, and I'm pleased that our employees share the same passion for philanthropy."
As an example of that work, earlier this year Paragon worked with Make-A-Wish to grant a 9-year-old child her wish – a complete room makeover. She arrived at Paragon to get a princess dress, accessories and was told she is playing a life-size version of the "Pretty Princess" game, during which she was able to go on a horse carriage ride through the parking lot and sing karaoke.
–Ashley Cullum Vice president of business development, Paragon National Bank
Local ownership and focus is part of what Paragon points toward to make itself stand out from the pack. And its community involvement adds another layer to that identity.
When asked why she is involved with Make-A-Wish, Cullum said she's been involved for as long as she can remember, either as a volunteer or through Paragon.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation of the Mid-South associate board unites young professionals like Cullum to support the foundation via event-based fundraising through the creation of awareness and by helping to share the power of a wish.
"We grant one wish a year at Paragon," she said. "It's been awesome to be a part of that and the wish reveal, getting to see the child's face when they hear that your wish has been granted. It's just amazing. And now that I'm a mother and have two children, it hits even closer to home.
"It definitely means a lot to be a part of a life-changing experience for a child and their family."
At Paragon, Cullum is responsible for cultivating and expanding new personal and business relationships on the bank's behalf, as well as identifying and responding to the needs of customers.
Paragon provides individuals and small to mid-sized businesses and their owners with a package of business and personal banking solutions delivered online and in person.
Cullum said she enjoys being out of the office and out in the community, calling on customers and potential customers, talking to them and letting them know what Paragon can do for them.
"My role is as a business development officer, so what I do is I get to work with all areas of the bank," Cullum said. "I will meet with whoever is in charge of the finances of a company and talk to them about their banking needs as far as deposits, lending needs, treasury management, payroll, things like that. And we really take a look at that whole portfolio to see what we can do for them and whether or not it's a good fit for Paragon.
"I joined the bank because my background has always been in either outside sales or in the financial arena. And when I got the opportunity to join Paragon, it was a merging of both of those fields together."

"Veni, vidi, vici!"
Hmmm, no, not really that last one... Um well, ...
"Veni, Vidi, ..."
and then what's latin "I hurt myself"?
Thank goodness for Alleve. My dainty frame is just too delicate for that many hours...
Had fun as usual. Learned more and hopefully sucked less. Even brought a few folk with me (yeah, I'm coming out of the aiki closet more and more). Will bring more in the future. Slowly trying to spread the infection, but only among a few who are interested. So the rest are safe in their comfy hakama from the insidious evil that is whatever the hell it was we were doing.
Seriously, I had fun. Learned a lot. Thanks to Dan for obvious reasons, but also a big thanks to Gary for making it happen. Fun also to work with the guys from the Chinese persuasion as well as the folk from some other groups. Warms the heart to see so many folk from so many different areas comparing notes but more importantly, so many people trying to demonstrate what they've got (or haven't got). It is humbling for me each time to see just how far I have to go.
It was a fun mix....Aikido folks, Aikijutsu folks and folks from one of the Chinese internal arts. Everyone played together well. Tiring and all, overwhelming at times in the shear amount to information passed along......at the realizations of gaps and holes in ones understanding on how the body connects within itself, how to use the body as a whole and how soft compelling power is generated and used......... and we are only talking about three days of lower level body related practice, both solo and paired that is paradigm shifting.....and needs to be felt.
I want to make it real clear that the basis for what we were training......the practice..... is not Dan's and is centuries old in Japan and thousands of years old coming up through China. Dan was very clear that it was not about him....... One of the Chinese practitioners, who have trained with a number of high level Chinese in China, mentioned at the end of the seminar that the weekend provided an opportunity to touch, feel, sense and taste moments of very high level stuff. To be in it for a moment..... Then come back to the reality that the steps leading to those higher levels are there to be taken....if you put in the time and the effort. Again not Dan's stuff, rather the practice that has been around for seemingly for ever without us knowing it.
Enough said on this.....we will continue down this path..... if you take a step on to it...you can step back off with nothing gained and nothing lost...if you travel a short way down the path you just can't just quite and be honest about it.
Fish or cut bait.......
Have a great day......
