BRANSON, Mo. - For Ron Shuffield, the good news is that he's in second place. If he caught zero fish today, the worst he could finish would be fifth. The bad news is that if he wants to win his first FLW Tour event on Table Rock, he's got a seriously steep hill to climb.
The no-nonsense veteran pro that he is, Shuffield was realistic about his chances of overcoming Brent Ehrler and taking home the title.
"As a general rule, we all realize we're probably fishing for second," he said. "Brent has had a great tournament and it's his to win or lose. I'm happy for him; I am really am. He's an incredible fisherman. In my opinion he's one of the top two or three anglers in the world."
But crazier things have happened.
"I will say that I feel like the fish are coming to me. And I've felt that way since the first day of the tournament. I really haven't saved any water specifically for today, but there's so much water that's been unfished."
Shuffield is working a jerkbait up the James River. He's fishing a bunch of structure - all of it off the bank in water 15 to 35 feet deep.
"The fish position differently on each type of structure. The more time I spend up there, the more familiar I'm becoming."
While Shuffield has been consistent this week, he hasn't seen many kicker largemouths. His area has more of a mix of all three Table Rock species. That bodes well for retaining second, but he'll need at least a couple kickers to catch Ehrler.
One ounce behind Shuffield is Bryan Thrift. He too has grudgingly accepted his fate.
"My plan is to fish for second and there's not many tournaments I fish for second," said the Shelby, N.C., pro. "If I could get maybe 25 pounds than I'd have a slim chance. But Brent would still have to stumble."
Saturday's final weigh-in will be held at the Branson Convention Center located at 200 W. Main St. in Branson beginning at 4 p.m. Fans will be treated to a Family Fun Zone & Outdoor Expo at the Branson Convention Center prior to the final weigh-in from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be a drawing for a Can-Am ATV, and rod-and-reel combos will be given to the first 300 kids under 14 in attendance on Saturday.
The pro winner, who will earn $125,000, is determined by the heaviest accumulated weight from all four days.

Jock Sanders has Bill Stewart's back
West Virginia senior receiver Jock Sanders had some very, very interesting things to say last night as a few of us spoke to him. As has been stated on this blog before, Sanders is one of my favorites; he speaks his mind with the media and has always been candid, open and honest.
The line of questioning last night turned to his feelings about head coach Bill Stewart, a man who has been under fire by some in the fan base. Well, it is safe to say Sanders has Stewart's back:
"He's a man that knows what he's doing and obviously knows what he's talking about," Sanders said of Stewart. "He's a great coach. I'm glad to be coached by him my last three years that I have been here. It is a blessing."
And there was also this:
"I am going to miss it all," Sanders said. "I am going to continue to come back; I am going to miss this place."
Also, I asked Sanders if he thinks people on the outside of the West Virginia program might think Stewart, and his sayings and nature, could be a bit hokey or corny? Here is what he had to say:
"Don't they all?" Sanders said. "They all do. You have critics everywhere you go. People who aren't inside the program try to destroy the program. We stay together and stick together. There is nothing people say or do that can pull us apart. It is all about sticking together and being a family here. That is one thing I learned is being a family here. … I respect [Stewart] because I respect every man. I respect every person, I respect him because he's my coach. And then I respect him because the things he says is always in a helpful way even if it is good or bad. He is always telling you something that is helpful for you."

K'Kruhk is a tough Jedi, survived the Clone Wars, Jedi Purge, etc. and lived way past Luke Skywalker!
hard to kill doesn't give justice when you your tough enough to have the grim reaper afraid of then your geting somwere
Yeah, K'kruhk definately fits Marv's profile. Heh heh. Splendid, I absolutely love this crossover ordeal!
Love the "freakin' sweet hat", looks good on him.
Supeeerrr.... Your ıdea and ability ; just wonderfull...
Ha! K'Kruhk! ...actually, that works a little *too* well in my mind... Fantastic job, you really captured the Sin City look.
I'm not well versed in StarWars, but that is a great peice of work.

These brownies were very, very good! I made this recipe for my kids in N.C.,who I send their gifts and some goodies for christmas every year. My oldest requested homemade brownies so I granted his request with this recipe. So glad I picked it cause I was not disappointed one bit. They came out perfect!Nice and chocolately and they were thicker than most recipes that I have tried. I did leave out the nuts and chocolate chips, only because I didn't have neither ingredient on hand. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe.
These were sooo good! I've made them twice and will definately make them again. Thank you for sharing.
These were so simple and absolutely wonderful. I am 7 monthes pregnant and was dieing for some brownies one night, I got online and was glad this site was one of the first that came up for homemade brownies. I didn't know what to expect, I didn't really know you could do it right without a box of Duncan Hines. I was so happy because I had all the ingredients on hand. Wonderful! Chewy fudge brownies, not dry cake-like! My husband was amazed, I looked like a baking genius.

Please note that I've tried the "adding local printer" as noted in the Sticky/previous posts without success. I get an error message after I put in the port name (I get the "not responding" message on that tiny window and if I wait it out, it says: "the file cannot be accessed by the system" error message.
The Components:
- Desktop (old piece of junk but it works)
- Router: MSFT Broadband Networking Wireless Base Station Router MN-500 (802.11b)
- Printer: HP PSC 2400
- Laptop #1: Sony Vaio with 802.11g adapter; Win XP SP2
- Laptop #2: Dell m1530 with Intel 4965AGN WiFi Link adapter; Vista
The Setup:
- The printer via USB to Desktop; the router via ethernet to Desktop
- WEP security
- I know this is an outdated network but it works (and I'm slowly updating components). My Laptop #1 connects to the WiFi and finds the printer and prints wirelessly and has done so for years. My NEW laptop (laptop #2) can't detect the printer at all. I can access my internet and surf the web, however, I cannot detect the printer to print wirelessly. File/Printer sharing is enabled on the desktop.
- This might be a Vista issue, but I'm new to Vista and can't seem to figure out what I might be doing wrong. I've gone through the Network Sharing Window to "add printer" but nothing is detected. My understanding is that Vista has the drivers already built in the OS for this particular printer...but I can't even detect it to install them.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

SEJONG/SEOUL, Dec. 5 (Yonhap) -- South Korea and Australia have virtually reached a bilateral free trade agreement (FTA), the South Korean government said Thursday.
"At a trade ministers' meeting held on Dec. 4 in Bali, Indonesia, South Korean Trade Minister Yoon Sang-jick and his Australian counterpart, Andrew Robb, confirmed that negotiations for the Korea-Australia FTA have virtually been concluded," South Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy said in a press release.
The ministerial meeting came a day after the two countries held their seventh round of FTA talks also in Bali.
Ministry officials said the deal, if enacted as it is now, will greatly benefit both countries while effectively protecting some of South Korea's sensitive or vulnerable products.
"Australia has agreed to remove its tariffs on most of the products within five years while we agreed to remove tariffs on 92.4 percent of all products (from Australia) in terms of monetary value within eight years," Yoon told a press briefing.
Under the proposed deal, Australia will immediately and completely remove its 5 percent tariffs on 20 types of gasoline-powered vehicles from South Korea, which currently account for 76.6 percent of South Korea's automobile exports to Australia in terms of value, according to the ministry. Australia's import tariffs on all other types of vehicles from South Korea will be removed within three years.
Assistant Trade Minister Woo Tae-hee said such an agreement marked a concession from Australia, noting import tariffs on automobiles are usually removed within three to five years under most of other free trade pacts.
Reflecting South Korean farmers' sensitive reaction toward the liberalization of the food market, the agreement exempted South Korea from opening its markets for a number of what they called "very sensitive items," which include rice, powdered milk, potatoes and oysters.
The current agreement allows South Korea to gradually remove its import tariffs on 509 "sensitive items" including beef within 10 to 15 years following the enactment of the FTA, instead of eight years for most industrial products.
"In case of beef and dairy products, the country was able to better protect the local market with better terms than those of the Korea-U.S. FTA," Woo told reporters.
Currently, Australian beef accounts for 56.9 percent of South Korea's total beef imports, according to the ministry.
The negotiations for the Korea-Australia FTA were resumed last month after a 41-month break since May 2010 when the talks hit a deadlock over Australia's opposition to the so-called investor-state dispute (ISD) settlement system in the proposed agreement, among other issues.
The ministry said the countries have reached concessions on all previously contentious issues, including the inclusion of the ISD settlement system in the FTA, at the seventh round of negotiations held this week.
The FTA negotiations were first launched in 2009.
The two countries have agreed to hold an initialing ceremony within the first half of next year after they each make a legal review of their current agreement, the ministry said.
The text of the Korea-Australia FTA will be made public after the initialing ceremony, but the ministry said it was a comprehensive and high-level agreement consisting of 23 chapters dealing with products, customs, trade disputes, investments, and service and communications, as well as government procurement, intellectual property rights and cooperation.
Following the initialing of the proposed FTA, the countries will begin translating the agreement into Korean before the agreement can be officially signed and sent to their respective legislatures for approval, according to the ministry. Officials said Seoul hopes to put the Australia FTA into effect no later than Jan. 1, 2015.

Nachshon began to paint in early childhood, and developed his relationship to art and to artists throughout his youth. During his military service Nachshon herded flocks for the IDF, an experience that imbued in him a love and appreciation for nature which figures prominently in his work until today. Upon completing his military service the young artist was torn between the temptation to travel to Paris, then the cultural center of the art world, and his deep love of the land of Israel, the spiritual center of the Jewish world. Opting to stay in Israel, Nachshon studied under Shlomo Nerani, Cezanne's only pupil, with whom he had enjoyed a deep friendship extending back to his childhood. Nachshon, whom Nerani viewed as his spiritual heir, was the only one of his students allowed to see the master at work. Nachshon's lifelong involvement in Lubavitch Hassidut began in his early adulthood, when he was drawn to the movement by its uniquely beautiful traditional melodies. In 1965 Nachshon was invited to an unprecedented three- hour private session with the Rebbe of Lubavitch, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, in New York. The young artist used the opportunity to share his concerns and misgivings about the role of the Jewish artist and the many inherent conflicts which confronted him. The Rebbe blessed Nachshon with the advice that for many generations the art of painting had failed to find its ultimate rectification in holiness, but that with the help of God he might come to bring about that long anticipated rectification. The Rebbe then offered to fund Nachshon's studies in New York on the condition that he would find a program of study acceptable to Jewish religious values. Despite the difficulty inherent in such a task, Nachshon gladly received the Rebbe's offer and devoted himself fully to the celebration of the wisdom of the Creator through visual art. In 1967 Nachshon and his wife Sara, along with six other families renewed the Jewish presence in Hebron for the first time since the city's Jewish residents were massacred by Arabs in 1929. To underscore the significance of Jewish culture to the city, Nacshon opened a gallery of his art beside the Tomb of the Patriarchs. During this period Nachshon also used to visit the houses of Hebron's Arab residents in order to paint the city from unique angles. On one of his regular visits to the Tomb of the Patriarchs, Nachshon met an elderly Breslov Hassid. The hassid urged him to recite Psalms every night for forty days, and assured him that if he did so he would merit profound revelation. Nachshon did so, and as soon as the forty days had passed he saw the heavens open, receiving visions that would charge his art forever. Since that first time, Nachshon has seen the heavens open many times and, indeed, the opening of the heavens is a recurring motif in his work. According to Nachshon, "the open sky means going beyond what is reality, seeing through." Nachshon's art covers a wide range of thematic material through equally diverse stylistic approaches, all of which are uniquely his own. He paints in order to define and to emphasize the presence of the active Divine Will in creation, and in order to inspire himself and others. Nachshon paints what he sees through the eyes of an inspired painter, communicating those visions to the world. Each of his paintings can be studied in the manner of a sacred text, providing numerous and vivid insights into the workings of creation and the promises held for the future. Many of his paintings describe visions of the future, of the world after its final redemption, of a world where all is peace and joy and where the revelation of divine beneficence is clear to all. Until that time, Nachshon's paintings offer a glimpse of what could be, of what ought to be and of what will be when the work of humanity has reached its successful comp Community Comments Catalog Details Product No 2827689 Subjects Style Medium Tags Baruch, Nachshon, art, baruch, hebron, holyland, israel, jewish Create Frame Photos Photos on Canvas Sell Sell Art Online Become an Affiliate Get a Trade Account Common Questions Company Info About Us Contact Customer Comments Return Policy Social Tumblr Pinterest Twitter Facebook Instagram Our Wall Art Family CanvasOnDemand | Photo Canvases GreatBigCanvas | Decorate Huge Terms of Service Privacy Policy Copyright © 2016

Ozzy Osbourne on Black Sabbath: 'We're Going To Do One More Album and a Final Tour'
According to singer Ozzy Osbourne, the band has begun to plot its end, as they plan on heading back into the studio in 2015 before embarking on one final tour.
According to singer Ozzy Osbourne, the band has begun to plot its end, as they plan on heading back into the studio in 2015 before embarking on one final tour.
Guitarist Gus G says Ozzy Osbourne plans a return to his solo career, even after the huge success of his Black Sabbath reunion.
The Black Sabbath "13" tour is officially over, but obviously, Ozzy Osbourne is still itching to be on stage. Or Sharon needs a new pair of shoes, and she told Ozzy to get out there and get a damn paycheck...
Friday night (July 4th) marked the last show of Black Sabbath's "13" tour, and possibly, as some are saying, their last tour ever.
If it is indeed their last show (doubtful), they went out in style, closing out a show in Hyde Park that also featured Soundgarden, Motorhead, Soulfly, Faith No More, and others...
Sharon first mentioned their plans in her 2007 autobiography.
Black Sabbath played their final scheduled show of 2014, which was rumored to be their last ever gig, but Tony Iommi has vowed the band will tour again.
Please don't kill us, Ozzy.
As the legends of the rock genre get long in the tooth, the voice goes, the riffs don't come like they used to, and some lumber off to die...
Metallica delivered a four-song acoustic covers set at a benefit honoring Ozzy Osbourne.
They're thwarting the plan to convert a barn on his Buckinghamshire, England estate into a two-bedroom apartment.
Original Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward talks about recent health struggles and his troubled relationship with singer Ozzy Osbourne.
A tremendous amount of bands have released signature beers, but one legendary group omitted from that list is Black Sabbath. Due to his alcoholic past, it seems like an improper decision for Ozzy Osbourne to create his own beer, which may be one of the reasons that Osbourne's lawyers have stepped in to shut down an outside brewer's brand of 'Ozzy' beer.

Comments about 'Peavler: Bronco Mendenhall and BYU embrace the pressure in 2014'

I get really tired of BYU fans making such a big deal about Ute fans commenting on articles dealing primarily with BYU. There are a lot of valid reasons for Ute fans to comment on these articles. The DNews is not running a BYU fan forum. These comment boards are free for anybody to comment on. Also, lots of us Ute fans are also LDS and therefore have an interest in BYU due to our Church membership. We may not be fans of their sports programs, but we pay attention to what is going on at BYU none the less. BYU is also our chief rival no matter what some Ute fans claim. So let that point go. It proves nothing. Many BYU fans claim and interest in the U of U, because it is a public university and they are taxpayers and they also recognize the rivalry. So let's accept the fact that we follow each other's programs and not make that a point of contention.

"Texas was ranked #15 when BYU beat them last year."
So what? They finished 8-5 and unranked. So that's the sort of team they were. In September, they were clearly overrated. There weren't REALLY the 15th best team in the country last year, were they? So no, you don't get credit for beating a "ranked" Texas team. You get credit for beating an "unranked" one.
"Texas clobbered #6 OU and Ended the regular season ranked #23/#24/#25."
No they didn't. They finished "unranked", and received only 4 votes in the Coaches poll. They received no votes in the AP, and the Harris doesn't count anyone below #25.

And just how many wins will utes have vs. those ranked teams you cite?

"It's the team of BYU fans that dwells on making up excuses why they deserve to be in a P5 conference, and demand respect rather than earn it."
As a Bruin I find it laughable that one of the doormats of the PAC-10+2 thinks they have earned our respect. You are in our conference because we wanted a championship game and needed sufficient cannon fodder to fill up the PAC-10's dance card.
Some day the U may win 6 or even seven games and get into a PAC-10+2 second tier bowl; but they will NEVER play in the Rose Bowl on New Year's day. And it then logically follows that the U will NEVER win a National Championship.
So I'd be a bit more humble about the "prestige" you've "earned" by merely being invited into our conference.

Let me see........What would I prefer; a) play a decent schedule and win games and go to a Bowl game, or b) be a door mat in a decent conference and watch my record keep getting worse each year and never go to a bowl game, let alone be the subject of any National Attention by any of the players for consideration for an individual award.
After much consideration, I think I choose "A".
You're not alone. Many BYU fans would rather play a dog schedule and pretend to be a national power... rather than ever try to be a real national power by playing the type of schedules played by the big boys.
Kind of like how some people love to be tough guys on the internet... but would turn tail and run if challenged to a real fight for fear of getting trounced when it counts.
Nice attitude.

Nobody's saying you can't comment on stories that have nothing to do with your team, and have to do with a team that you all swear you've long since moved past. But you all obviously don't realize how ridiculous you come off when you spout off.

Hear, hear! I can tell you, USC fans feel the same way, as do the UW fans I know.
Actually, the attitude of the fans from the top half of the PAC reminds me of an exchange from Casablanca: Ugarte: "You despise me, don't you?" Rick: "If I gave you any thought I probably would."

It's been fun to go back and read the comments from the Ute fans who
dominated most of the earliest comments to this article. Chris B proving once
again while both Ute and BYU fans consider him irrelevant. His ultra-biased
comments somehow were allowed while it's possible this one won't be...
even though I'm being nothing but totally honest about the situation.
Ute fans making fun of a BYU schedule that was and is equivalent in strength to the 2004 and 2008 seasons Utah went to BCS bowl games. It's nothing if not hypocritical.
And since this article came out, BYU has gone undefeated and is now nationally ranked in the Top-20 of the country, while Utah still seeks it's first conference victory of the season, just like it always has going into October since joining the PAC12.
BYU is doing better than expected while Utah just suffered a big conference game upset.
As the old saying goes, He who laughs last... well, you know the rest.

I absolutely love this shoe. The primeknit breaths like a sock, buts holds the foot as tights as I would expect from any other shoe. Also, the shoe looks awesome. Looks even better in person than the picture shoes. My only comment is that the shoe runs a little big. I would probably order 1/2 size down from normal. I usually wear 10.5, but ordered a 10 and it is perfect. ... read more
Great quality and looks great. I got them for 49.98 at a adidas outlet since their was a storewide promo. The quality great even if you get printed or the mesh or primeknit versions. Their's also a ton of colorways to choose from to meet your taste and their comfortable. ... read more
Got the red pair from Bait. Doesn't come with insole and so fits looser if going true to size, obviously adding an insole makes them fit great. I've been using my ultra boost insole which feels great. A little narrow for my wide-ish feet but breaking them in feels better. Boost is great; squishy yet firm, but not stiff and awkward like NMDs. Back of the shoe is a little rigid, admittedly, but I wasn't getting tore up on my ankle. I did notice it though out the box. Love the design, though suede is suede and the red may possibly bleed on the white boost very slightly if the shoes are on each other. ... read more
I have skinny skinny feet and these things are super snug. The laces are pointless because there's a band that goes over the top of your foot that tightens the shoe. Also, get a half size up, I has to send mine back and get a bigger size. It wasnt even close to normal size for me. ... read more
First, the shoe is a great combination of cushion and response. The transition is seamless between foot plant and toe-off. Second, the upper is very comfortable. While the forefoot is a little narrow for me there are no friction points because the material works with the foot and is very forgiving. Great shoe, wish Adidas had a trail version. ... read more
This shoe is perfect for me. I hope Adidas continues to make this shoe without changing much. The last shoe I used was a different brand and was way too cushy and soft and actually ended up causing foot and ankle pain. I switched to the Supernova Glide Boost 8 based on a recommendation and couldn't be happier. I've been running with this shoe for a couple months now. The shoe is supportive, comfortable, and still manages to be responsive. The Boost material is phenomenal. I highly recommend this shoe. ... read more
It is great unless i tought it was more confortable My foot doesn't breath as i was expecting Not perfect for people who sweat easily Difficult to pick up the size, i have a 45,5 abd had to go for a 46,2/3 , tried once in shop the 46. ... read more
The Boost cushioning in these feel amazing with a caveat. While the Boost in the heel feels really squishy and amazing, the forefoot Boost is much, much thinner and can't be felt nearly as much as the Boost cushioning in the heel area. The effect of the firmer forefoot cushioning is amplified by the fact that there is a drop from the heel to the toe area (which in and of itself isn't necessarily a bad thing), which shifts a little more weight to the forefoot area. As far as fit goes, I generally wear size 8.5 or 9 and the Pure Boost in 8.5 gives me that great 1-to-1 fit with minimal dead space in front of and above my toes. The material of the upper is fairly stretchy and conforms to the foot which makes these shoes really accommodating to semi-wide-footers like me. Adidas, please implement softer and thicker boost in the forefoot in the Pure Boost 3 (if such a product is in the works)! I'm sure adding a little bit more forefoot boost won't sacrifice ride stability too much (especially considering most people will use these for walking/casual use and not hard core running). Beefier forefoot Boost, please! Forefoot! Forefoot! ... read more
I love this show it's almost perfect. Very comfortable with every step. To my foot size perfectly. The one and only one thing I wish that toe wasn't quite so sharp. Just a little wider and just a little Great shoe ... read more
I have pretty wide feet and normally have to wear a size 13 for the width, but I thought I'd give them a go in a 12 and they fit perfectly. Really comfortable shoes, nice ventilation, generally very happy with them. ... read more
previously owned a pair of zx flux, and they were the best shoes i ever had. I saw these in town and i HAD to get them. Amazing fit, gorgeous colour combo and they're unbelievably eye-catching and attractive, 10/10 all day long. ... read more
I hate these sliders because of the unbearable discomfort of the plastic "spikes" I have no idea how anyone would like anything but a smooth surface under his feet. I couldn't wear these sliders more than an hour! My feet sere sore for the rest of the day! ... read more
I love the shoes. I bought three pair but I really want the Gazelles in the light blue color that the originals were issued in. I can't seem to find the matching color. That is disappointing. If you do issue them in that color then I will own four pair! ... read more
This shoe is comfortable and looks good. The only con, is that there really is no support if you are running in them. I have out at least 20-30 miles on these and I have hurt my ankle a few times because there is really no support. ... read more
I love Gazeele 2s with the wide toe and saw this colour a beautiful purpley grey type blue and had to have it. Imagine how disappointed i was to receive them and find the inner sole was not stuck to the shoe and that the glue holding it there was too weak. I have many many pairs of gazelles but have had this happen once before on a pair of 2s. Sort it out adidas ... read more
This is a great looking shoe and comfortable, although I have flatfoot I think my toes receive a little bit of pressure when I walk.. Thats normal I guess. Only con I see is that the outsole material doesn't look sturdy for everyday walk on the streets and in rough surfaces but good for gym floors so I think outsole wont last more than a year... ... read more
A total upgrade from it's predecessor from the materials,aesthetically and more boost cushion.The only negative about this is they are not true to size,you have to down half a size at least in my opinion.But wide footers will definitely enjoy this ... read more
Gazelles -- the originals, which were still available just a few years ago -- always had 8 eyelets. Just one of the subtle, cool things that set them apart from the pack. These ones, with just 7: meh. ... read more

|TBI Most Wanted Lesandru Webster Caught In Marshall County
NASHVILLE- The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's recent fugitive was captured today, Lesandru Deniesh Webster of Columbia, TN.
A couple of hours ago, Webster was located by agents of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, deputies of the U.S. Marshals Service, detectives of the Lewisburg Police Department and officers of the Columbia Police Department. Based on a tip provided to the 1-800-TBI-FIND line, Webster was taken into custody at 230 Holly Grove Road in Lewisburg, TN without incident.
Lesandru Webster AKA "Precious" was wanted by the Columbia Police Department and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) for her participation with several other individuals in a scheme using Facebook to lure a robbery victim. Around July 19th, 2014, a male victim was kidnapped and forced at gunpoint to withdraw cash from an ATM. Webster has outstanding arrest warrants from Columbia Police Department for Especially Aggravated Kidnapping and Aggravated Robbery.
Webster was transported to the Maury County jail and is being held without bond.

What a disappointment! What a tedious drag to a non-ending!,

Ce commentaire fait référence ŕ cette édition : Xenocide: Volume Three of the Ender Quintet (Format Kindle)
Sorry to say it but this was a most disappointing read after the first two books. Ender's Game was a classic and the follow up was not bad, but this third effort really is poor. The story drags on and on though endless psycho analysis of a psychotic family - in fact a whole book full of psychotic characters, who endlessly fester and froth in their selfishness and idiotic tantrums. And finally, after wading through all this waffle, the reader is cheated of a real ending - I suppose it's to sell the next book. Well I wont be buying it.
Éven Ender becomes a weak sop, with only a bit part to play at the end, when he accidently brings his brother Peter back for a second life - the only time things start to get interesting, but then he leaves and the story ends! Very little action. Very poor. Not recommended!

Brantley Gilbert Will Remain Clothed on the McGraw Tour
Tim McGraw sent a message to Brantley Gilbert when Brantley got signed on to open for Tim this summer—bring it.
Brantley, who starts touring with Tim on Thursday (May 2), tells ABC News Radio he'll do just that.
Except, well, there's one little area . . .
You might recall that Tim doesn't mind being photographed shirtless while working out in public.
But you won't catch Brantley doing that.
"No. Not at all. No," Brantley says. "Shirtless isn't really my thing, unless I'm fighting."

A great white paper has recently been published on MSDN by some of my colleagues .
This paper goes through the relationship between ISVs and Hosters, it is a really useful insight for anyone considering adopting a Software + Services business model.
great work from Frederick Chong, Gianpaolo Carraro, Eugenio Pace (all from Microsoft Corporation) & Matt Baldwin (Hostway Corporation)
Here is an excerpt from the paper:
The case for specialized Software as a Service (SaaS) hosting can be easily rationalized by examining an incompatible pair of anecdotal fact and reality:
· Fact: When we explore the expertise of software vendors today, we find that most of them will not claim operating a hosting environment as a core competency. Actually, many would also cite operational excellence as a key barrier of entry into the SaaS market. This observation should not come as a surprise to the reader.
· Reality: However, when we take a look at the prevailing market situation, delivering SaaS applications often depends on hosting solutions that are "home-brewed" by the software vendors themselves. This is to say that in addition to implementing the application logic, many SaaS software vendors themselves will need to design, develop, and integrate the operational modules for their service offerings. As illustrated in Figure 1, the service delivery components, such as billing, metering, and logging, are built by the application vendor and integrated into the application stack.
The key observation from the datum above is that many ISVs are re-implementing operational components by necessity, not because those infrastructure additions provide significant value to differentiating the core features of the applications. Moreover, building these components add to the time and cost of delivering the application. Therefore, for the software vendors, most of such redundant work and expenditure can be eliminated if the software vendors can obtain the same operational functions from third parties that specialize in SaaS hosting.

I know Microsoft Partners have been after this info for a while. And in a good way. Not the kind of 'after it' where they want to wait for school to finish and duff it up. No, not that kind.
Ok, so it's not exactly breaking news but it's cool none the less....
I have had my Zune for about 2 months now and if i am honest have been very frustrated and disappointed with it. I have found the device great, love the quality of the video and music and really impressed with the compression.
My frustration has always been with the software and how difficult it is to set folders to synchronise and to get downloaded content to the device L - had a few instances where the only solution was to download a track, burn it onto CD and then import from CD to the Zune software – a royal pain in the podcast!
Any way rant over!
This latest software release is really cool, it has a much nicer UI and the menu's are slick and easy to navigate. Synchronisation is a doddle (and it works!!) – Love it!
I have been won back from the arms of my IPod.....
Just wanted to reference a great blog from my colleague Lars Lindstedt
On a recent trip to the Microsoft Research labs in Cambridge he picked up these top 5 tips for entrepreneurs and innovators.....
1. Look for the gaps. Often the best ideas are right in front of you — you just have to see them. Innovators are consummate observers of what people do and how things get done. They identify gaps between existing products and technologies, and consider how a new approach might be more efficient, engaging or cool. For example, Microsoft researchers observed that traditional answering machines do a poor job of helping people manage their voice messages, particularly for an entire family. So they developed the Bubble Board, a wall-mounted touch screen that gives families a simple, visual way to identify and manage individual phone messages. Try this: Devote a half day to watching how different people interact with an object of your choice, such as a mobile phone or a bicycle or a ticket kiosk. How could the object be improved for a better user experience? What other objects are related to your chosen object's function? What new strategies might be used to accomplish the same objective, but smarter, faster or more enjoyably?
2. Many heads are better than one. Inspiration drawn from numerous disciplines tends to lead to the most successful products, and rarely does one person embody all of the knowledge required to develop a viable concept. That's why collaboration is so important to the process of innovation. Surface computing — tabletop computer displays that interact with people and objects in a remarkably intuitive way — is one such example. The research behind surface computing drew upon people who understand electronics, human-computer interaction and computer vision techniques. Microsoft's Cambridge lab added another layer of innovation on top of this with C-Slate, which allows people at different locations to work together using surface computing. For this project, social anthropologists worked closely with the technical developers to create a useful and intuitive interface. Try this: Invite two or three people who represent very different educational and professional backgrounds to a brainstorming session. Present your innovative idea to the group and ask them to offer their impressions and related ideas. Lead the discussion to capture their creative thinking and practical insights.
3. Do your research. If your idea is so great, why hasn't someone else already thought of it? The internet is your first stop, to find out whether your idea has already been developed. Online articles, patent information, blogs and company websites are all potential sources of relevant information. You should also reach out to primary sources of information. What experts can you identify who would be willing to advise you and share their knowledge? Try this: Identify a technical or market-focused expert and make an appointment to discuss your innovative idea. Consider your questions carefully beforehand, to ensure you gain the insight that this person can provide.
4. Don't let failure get you down. Failure is an integral part of innovation and, while painful, it is one of the best teachers. The hard part is recognising when things are going badly, and being honest with yourself about it. Of course not all ideas are great ideas and timing is also an important factor in market adoption. You have to be able to admit when it's time to quit, and recover from that. At Microsoft, researchers minimise the number of dead-end projects by placing high value on peer review. By critiquing each other's work, researchers receive critical help identifying the weaknesses in their concept. As an innovator, you must become comfortable listening to skeptics and develop the personal confidence to defend your convictions, while recognising that others may have insight that you do not. Try this: Develop a 1-minute sales pitch about your product and test it on five people for their reaction. Encourage them to give you their honest impression — the positive and the negative.
5. Develop your business know-how. For any start-up, the research and initial concept typically represents 1% of the overall investment. Getting that product to market consumes about 10%. And the remaining 89% is spent on sales, marketing and support. As an innovator, you will have to develop a feel for business. This does not mean you need a business degree, but you will need the perspective to entice investors and introduce your product to the marketplace. You will also need to develop a business model that protects your intellectual property and prevents others from taking your idea and doing it better. This protection could take the form of a patent or it could hinge on your product being the first out of the gate. There are many schemes for young people to learn basic business skills, such as Young Enterprise or The Working Knowledge Group, to help you gain perspective on the facets and pressures of running a business. Try this: Determine what the "secret sauce" of your innovation will be. How will you secure a leading position after you have launched your product?
So from my last three posts... go change the world J
Following on from my last post I thought I'd share a few tips on raising capital funds. It always helps to have your value proposition well thought out but also very direct and punchy. My team will quite often ask for a one page document that we can use to introduce companies to potential investors, this can also be used by the company themselves as a first stage introduction, generally, this format has been well received...
· Company details: who you are, where you are based, contact details
· Solution overview: briefly describe your solution and what you do
· Market overview: describe the market need you are addressing (macro / micro economic trend behind their business or customer pain they are solving) and address size of the market ($, Growth %, % that is addressable by them)
· Unique selling proposition: describe why you are special and how that will enable you to be successful
· Business model: How do you deliver your solution (SaaS, licensing, services) and how do you charge for it?
· Financials: disclose your revenues and (where applicable) split them between main products/offerings (e.g. software, services)
· Team: provide management team overview and company size information
· Funding requirements: what you are looking for and what it will be used for in the short/medium term
You should also be clear about what you want and why, as well as being able to offer a clear elevator pitch in under 30 seconds.
If you get the opportunity to present your venture then there are also plenty of useful tips. Guy Kawasaki has a neat rule for creating presentations: the '10' '20' '30' rule...
· No more than 10 slides
· No longer than 20 minutes
· No font smaller than 30
Make sure you take a look at his blog and also read his latest book J
A pitch that i saw whilst in Brussels that worked really well was from Jim Cook at Ikordo his pitch consisted of a video overview of the solution, his asks and questions! - great! Take a look at the animated overview at www.ikordo.com
A few small and simple tips, but hopefully they will help J
