You approached the Kirkland manor as dusk was about to hit. You press the doorbell and quickly draw your hand back into your coat pocket. 'Of all days, Iggy just had to drag me out of my apartment into the cold for a movie night.' You thought grimly.
You go to press the doorbell again. "For a gentleman, he sure is keeping his company waiting." you shivered out from the cold.
A click from the door made your ears perk up in excitement. All you wanted was warmth right now. Arthur opened the door just enough for you to mindlessly tackle yourself in. The British man surprisingly dodged you barging in. "Oi you twat! You almost knocked me over!" Arthur hissed out in brief annoyance. You sigh give a short puppy eyed glance "It was cold, I was helpless. I needed warmth.." You pouted.
A small blush brushed against his cheek at your attempt of innocence.
He turned to the door hiding a small smile. "Er whatever love.." He trailed off closing the door.
"So! What movie did you want to see so badly to make me trot my butt over" you say plopping yourself on the couch. You weren't afraid to make yourself at home. You knew Arthur since forever. Forever meaning since childhood. He was accustomed to your ways by now. You even developed a small crush on him. Even though you kept reminding yourself you was very much out of his league.
He brought a bowl of popcorn out to the living room. "Thought I'd watch The Grudge" he smirk. A stroke of fear run through your bones. "E-Erm, Iggy... I like seen that a million times!!" You laugh out nervously. He just chuckle. "Scared?" he glanced of mischief. You shook you head rapidly. "N-no, Bring it on movie!" you said encouraging yourself.
Iggy chuckled and clicked play. He clicked his universal remote again to turn the lights off. "Make yourself comfy then" he smiled offering some popcorn. You reject his offer politely. "I'm on a diet.." you mutter. His fuzzy eyebrows made a questionable look.
He was about to say something but you pointed at the screen to shift the attention from you.
"M-Movie is starting" you stutter.
About hour into the movie you kept trying to keep your eyes on the scarey movie. Iggy just sat there not even interested in the film. Bored even. His eyes shift to your shivering form. A smile cracked "Cold?" he asked.
You squeak from his voice. You have been so concentrated on the movie. Mere voices made you flinch. Arthur snickers "Oh jumpy I see, ________?".
You gulp shaking your head.
He sigh and looked back at the movie. A idea grew minutes later as he lifted his hand over the side of the couch. Knocking loudly against it, The same time The Grudge was making that horrific noise.
A loud yelp came out of you from terror. By this time Iggy was laughing uncontrollably. You growl tackling the other side of the couch he was on. Pinning him. "Iggy that wasn't cool at all!" you bellowed. Almost feeling tear peak at the corner of you eyes. The brit kept laughing "It's alright love! It was a harmless joke!" he snickered. You just kept him pinned. You were so frustrated. Arthur trying to hide another laugh from you taking the joke so seriously.
The tension was finally broken was a weird gurgle sound. Iggy gave you a strange look. "W-was that your stomach?" He ask. You jump off him, scooting to the other side of the couch. hugging yourself at of embarrassment. "Nooo" you pouted.
He grabbed the bowl of popcorn again "Eat _______...." he sighed.
You shook your head "N-No, I don't want to ruin my diet" you stutter blushing in embarrassment. He pinches the bridge of his nose. "_______, starving yourself isn't exactly the way to go on a diet" He sighed in annoyance. "You look fine to me. " he added giving a small blush.
A blush spreads against you cheeks. Looking away from his gaze. "Iggy, you're only saying that because your my friend." You spat in disbelief. You were a bigger girl. You felt very insecure about yourself. Your body would never appeal to someone like Iggy.
Arthur gave a frustrating grumble. You felt your being jerked towards him into a hug.
"_______... Stop it. You're lovely." He pouted. "I hate when you do this to yourself." He added hugging tighter. You giggle from his touch. "Iggy your embarrassing me..." You mumbled shyly.
He pulls away to look into your (color) eyes. "Well might as well make it more embarrassing at this point. Can't turn back now" He smirk. Pulling once more, but not for a hug. I tender loving kiss. You kiss him back, knowing this the chance of a life time to kiss the person you like.
Another grumble from your stomach made you separate. Arthur gave a small chuckle kissing your forehead lightly. "Want to grab something to eat love?" He smiled. You nod "Hell yeah, I'm starving." you chimed happily. He just laughed hold a hand out pulling you from the couch. "Well let's go shall we?" he bowed.
"Ladies first~" He smiled.

You're such a slut (at least that's how it'll seem)
I'll spit at you with hatred until you start to bleed.
I know where you've been and I know what you've done.
I know who you are... now let's have some fun.
"Did you hear about that girl?"
"Yeah. She's so disgusting."
I know you, and I know where to call.
I know you, but you don't know me at all.
I'll dial your number, and hey, it's ringing!
I can't wait to hear your cries singing.
"Slut." "Whore." "Freak." "Weirdo." "Loser."
Well, you're all mine now, so where do i start?
I know! I'll start at the back of your heart.

"You're so ugly." "Anorexic!" "Do you always look this bad?"
Next day at school, and you didn't show up.
The teacher comes in with a horrible look.
"Remember Marie?"
Everyone stares.
"She killed herself. Last night."

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Reports on the economy, pending home sales and foreign holdings of securities are due out today. The Commerce Department releases fourth-quarter gross domestic product at 8:30 a.m. The pending home sales index come out from the National Association of Realtors around 10 a.m. And the Treasury Department is to release its preliminary report on the June 2014 annual survey of foreign holdings of U.S. securities.
TOKYO (AP) -- Japan's core inflation rate edged lower in January as lower crude oil prices reduced energy costs, while weak retail sales and manufacturing underscored the fragility of its economic recovery.
Core inflation, excluding volatile food prices, was 2.2 percent, compared with 2.5 percent the month before and the lowest in 10 months. Excluding energy costs and food, the consumer price index was at 2.1 percent, level with the previous two months.
Unemployment rose to 3.6 percent from 3.4 percent the month before.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has sought to spur growth by vanquishing the deflation that discouraged investment and spending over the past two decades. But the economy fell back into recession after a sales tax hike on April 1, 2014. Growth recovered to 2.2 percent in the October-December quarter.
BERLIN (AP) -- Germany's Parliament is to vote today (FRIDAY) on the deal eurozone finance ministers hammered out to extend Greece's bailout for four months. The proposal should get wide, if unenthusiastic, support from lawmakers after a large majority in Chancellor Angela Merkel's (AHN'-geh-lah MEHR'-kuhlz) conservative bloc signaled their backing on Thursday.
In a test vote among the 311 conservative lawmakers, 22 opposed the bailout extension and five abstained. A minority of conservative lawmakers has consistently voted against bailouts over the five years of Europe's debt crisis.
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- The South Korean nuclear regulator has renewed the operating license of the country's second-oldest nuclear power plant until 2022, overriding the objections of residents and anti-nuclear groups.
The Nuclear Safety and Security Commission said that seven of nine commissioners voted to restart the Wolsong No. 1 reactor located 170 miles south of Seoul.
It was the first such decision in South Korea since safety concerns about nuclear energy and older plants were raised following the meltdowns at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi reactors in 2011. South Korea's 23 nuclear power plants, mostly located in the country's southeastern coast, provide about one-third of its electricity.
The nuclear regulator said in a statement that it reviewed the plant's ability to withstand natural disasters and its compliance with other legal standards. Two commissioners who asked for more time to review the reactor's safety abstained from the vote at the end of the 14-hour meeting that began Thursday morning and ended past midnight Friday.
South Koreans were sharply divided over the fate of the Wolsong No. 1 plant that had operated for 30 years until its license expired in 2012.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- The Arkansas Supreme Court says a lawsuit against tobacco giant Philip Morris USA can proceed under class-action status.
The lawsuit seeks refunds on every pack of Marlboro Lights sold in Arkansas from 1971 to 2010. The plaintiffs claim Philip Morris, which is part of the Altria Group, deceived smokers about health risks.
The justices' 6-1 decision was released Thursday.
The company wants each case considered separately, saying some smokers bought the cigarettes for their taste, packaging or brand reputation -- not for claims they had lower tar and nicotine.
Philip Morris also said courts elsewhere have rejected class-action status for similar claims.
The size of the class isn't known, but Pulaski County Circuit Judge Tim Fox warned in 2013 that it could be in the millions.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Investigators say they have recovered 32,000 emails related to a former IRS official at the heart of the agency's tea party scandal.
But they don't know if any of them are new.
The emails were to and from Lois Lerner, who used to head the IRS division that processes applications for tax-exempt status. Last June, the IRS told Congress it had lost an unknown number of Lerner's emails when her computer hard drive crashed in 2011.
IRS officials said the emails could not be recovered. But at a congressional hearing Thursday, IRS Deputy Inspector General Timothy Camus said investigators recovered thousands from old computer tapes.
However, the inspector general has not determined how many of the emails might be duplicates of the 78,000 Lerner emails already produced by the IRS.

How I'm Saving My Marriage
By Steph Auteri
We covered a lot of ground. We talked about my social anxiety, and about how he hated having to explain away my absence when he went out with friends. We talked about his priorities, and how he seemed unable to set boundaries with his work. We talked about how he felt tied to the area in which we lived, while I desperately wanted to leave. We talked about the late nights he spent in the city, and how he oftentimes neglected to tell me when he wasn't coming straight home from work.
"You have a spouse to come home to!" I said, looking for a sign that he still loved me. "Do you even want to be married?"
"I don't know," he said. "Maybe I don't."
I became angry. "You're not leaving me because you're going through a mid-life crisis at the age of 31," I snapped. "I'm not letting you do that." Survey Shows The 7-Year Itch Now Happens After 3 Years
He sighed. "I just feel as if marriage should be easier," he said. "We shouldn't have to compromise this much."
I looked at him in disbelief.
"That's what marriage is!" I said. "Marriage is about compromise! It isn't about finding your carbon copy. It isn't about finding your soul mate." I flung my hands into the air, exasperated. "It's about realizing that you love someone, and deciding that you choose them. You choose them to spend the rest of your life with. It's about realizing that, and then working your ass off to make it work!"
I began to sob.
"I can stay here," I said, frantic, desperate, realizing for the very first time, without a doubt, that I couldn't live without him. "We don't have to move away." I swallowed back snot and tears. I gasped for air. "And I'll go out with your friends more often. I'll be more social." I paused. "And I'll be more understanding. And… and… " He put his arm around me and told me not to cry. But I was scared. I had been pushing him away for no good reason, and now he was going to leave me.
He hasn't left me.
But I still feel as if things are precarious.
Is it possible to bring a marriage back from the brink?
I think so.
Can date nights, scheduled sex and love lists be your salvation? Can it help to seek out help? I hope so. (We've already scheduled our first therapy session.)
But more than anything else, I think you bring a marriage back from the brink at the moment you both realize, without a doubt, that you still love each other, and that you can't live without each other. You bring a marriage back from the brink when you grab ahold of it—determined to make things work—and refuse to let go.

NFL Retiree To Introduce Pie Five Pizza To Oklahoma
OKLAHOMA CITY, April 2, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Former NFL player Billy Bajema knows a winner when he sees one. That explains why he's joined the team from Pie Five Pizza, the nation's leading fast casual pizza chain.
This summer, Bajema will introduce his hometown of Oklahoma City to Pie Five's championship formula: personalized pizza made with the freshest ingredients, baked to order and ready in under five minutes, all at one great price.
Pie Five announced today that it has awarded up to 10 franchise units to Bajema and his brother-in-law, Tyce Jones. They have partnered with Josh Fields and Brandon Birdwell, who currently own three Firehouse Subs franchises in the area. The group's multi-unit agreement covers the entire state of Oklahoma.
Bajema recently retired from the NFL after playing nine seasons at tight end for the San Francisco 49ers, St. Louis Rams and Baltimore Ravens. The 49ers drafted him in 2005 from Oklahoma State. He has spent his offseasons preparing for life after football, gaining experience in the real estate industry and taking business management classes at Harvard University. "When I started researching the restaurant industry, I quickly learned that the fast casual segment was the place to be," said Bajema. "When Brandon and Josh told me about Pie Five Pizza, I was immediately impressed. The operational model is excellent, the company's leadership is top notch and the food is fantastic. I can't wait to bring the Pie Five revolution to Oklahoma." The restaurants will be the newest additions to the fast-growing, trend-setting pizza chain, which boasts more than 160 units under contract from coast to coast. Pie Five has been named a 2013 Top 50 Restaurant Brand of the Year, a 2012 Hot Concepts winner by Nation's Restaurant News and one of "10 Hot New Restaurant Chains from Established Brands" by Forbes.com. Fields remembers his first conversation with Bajema, when the former NFL star sought his and Birdwell's advice on how he could get into the restaurant business. To Fields, it was a no-brainer.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

TOMMY SMITH: Standard Chartered deal signals new start for Liverpool FC
YOU can't help but be seriously impressed at the new shirt deal Liverpool have just pulled off. £80m over four years is an enormous amount of money and, like every fan, I just hope Rafa Benitez gets to see of much of it as possible. The deal with Standard Chartered Bank is something of a cushion for us over the next few years. The new MD at Anfield, Christian Purslow and Commecial Director Ian Ayre deserve congratulations for bringing some serious cash in to the club. The new guy at the top certainly must have the gift of the gab to land this one. But it does make you wonder why we haven't been able to do a shirt deal of this size in previous years? The previous agreement with Carlsberg is dwarfed by the new one with Standard Chartered. They are paying almost three times as much as Carlsberg did - and don't forget we're supposed to be in a recession! There is clearly a real focus now and lots of drive at Anfield from the men in charge. You just don't pull off deals like this if you're not on top of the job. And clearly, for all the problems and broken promises from the American owners, at least we've now got two men in charge at the top who are not only very big Liverpool fans, who genuinely seem to care about the club, but who are putting big money where their mouths are. The new deal to me signals Liverpool are back on the road and beginning to head in the right direction. That makes me proud. But as I say, we just have to hope as much of this cash as possible ends up invested on top players out there on the pitch at Anfield in red shirts. Christian Purslow has made an impressive start. So good luck to him and his team, I say.

From the Contributor
A Collection of comics by Dawn Griffin, circa 1995-2005
This book is a tribute to the now defunct comic strip, the "Leftovers", and in honor of the characters who grew up along side me. Each section of strips was sent in as a submission to syndicates nationwide, in hopes for a contract in return, and a successful career as a syndicated cartoonist. Yeah, still waiting on that one. Anyhoo, I have since then moved on, and have been toying with other ideas for comics, and working with other people to further my career. But a good tribute was due to allow the "Leftovers" to R.I.P.Enjoy the book, and keep in mind- those first (embarrassing) strips were drawn by a starry-eyed 14-year-old. I know they suck.

(KMOV.com) – Administrators at the Kirkwood School District told News 4 an increase in enrollment is causing its finances to strain.
District officials told News 4 enrollment has increased by 700 students over the last five years and they believe it will cost an additional $3 million to handle to increase in enrollment. However, they estimate the district's income declined by $390,000 over the past year.
"Older families are moving out, younger families are moving in and that means more students," said Kirkwood Superintendent Dr. Tom Williams.
The district said it has hired 41 teachers and staff to handle the increased number of students. Until new revenue can be raised, educators said the district will dip into its reserve fund. Williams told News 4 the district may ask for a tax increase in 2016 to cover the increased costs.

Daytrip Lace Yoke Top 3 3
Not my favorite This shirt looks a lot cuter in the picture than it does in person. I took it back because it was just kind of blah. I really didn't like the elastic hem either. It looked weird. October 15, 2012
Super cute Love the colors and the detailing on this shirt. The lace back yolk is a darling detail. The material is very soft and the fit is flattering. I get lots of compliments when I wear this top. April 6, 2012
Great Top This is not a top I would typically pick out for myself but I love it. I love the print and all the colors. The open back with lace "T" is just adorable. It is perfect for spring! There is just a little bling which I also love. It hits a little above my hip and looks great with skinny jeans! March 15, 2012

I recently purchased a remington 700 ADL SS in .243, this rifle will mainly be used for coyotes, foxes, and some woodchucks. It came with a no name junk 3-9x40 which i new had to be replaced asap. After a couple days of digging around i came across a Simmons 8 point 3-9x40 that came on my muzzle loader when i bought it. my question is will this scope hold up on this rifle and be good mated together for multiple years. I want a scope to zero on this rifle and then not have to worry about needing to replace it. does anyone have experience with this scope?

I've not had any luck with Simmons scopes I've had to replace them within a year. Tasco , Bushnell are good scopes for the price
RRA Predator Pursuit 20" RRA Entry Tactical G21SF,G23,G27 10/22, MKII
I've never had good Luck with Simmons but I was always taught not to say anything if I couldn't say it tactfully. What we do know about Control is; He is new to the forum, He has no tact, and He sounds like a gun snob. People come here to learn not to be ridiculed. I'm sorry for his rudeness. Try the Simmons see how it does, It only costs a few rounds. I have several scopes that most gun snobs would call cheap, (which is only relative to the size of your wallet). One 700 Rem that shoots one ragged hole and has for 30 years without having the caps off the scope.

A man who has nothing which he cares more about than his own personal safety is a miserable creature, and has no chance of being free unless he is made free and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself" John Stuart Mill A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.
I wish I could just say "April fool!" and lower the prevailing suspended BS quotient in here, but alas, I can't. Sorry you got carved there, young man, but your reply tells me you might want to work on thickening your skin a bit. For future reference, there are jerks on every forum, and replying in kind just makes them jerkier. I can't answer your scope question, but I'm glad you're here trying to learn.
"Don't let macho be your epitaph." ---Ed Lovette
Actually, I've had pretty good luck with with maybe 4 Simmons scopes.....but mine are mostly the Pro-Hunter models and one 44 mag made while Meade owned Simmons. Bought one more of these Simmons 6-18x44 ProHunters from Natchez just a few weeks ago. FWIW, the 8 Point Simmons line was one of their more inexpensive line of scopes. I always bought only Simmons higher priced model scopes and I've no complaints about them. Basically, you are not improving the quality of your scope on the rifle by putting an 8 Point Simmons on it.
First, as in most things, you get what you pay for. It MAY be adequate for what you are using it for. Not everyone drives a Mercedes- some folks find a Ford meets their need. In general, Simmons is not a "top of the line" scope, but it also does not carry a "top of the line" price tag. However, if you search for Simmons 8 point reviews, there are several complaints about durability, the reticle coming loose and rotating, etc. It may work for you, may not, but would not expect too much. Second- If I want cutting remarks or replies, I can get those for free from relatives and bosses. Uncalled for, so knock it off. I only say that once.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
I have used some low end scopes on military rifles. The Simmons and Tascos have both held up just fine. The low end rifle scopes of today are much improved over the bargain lines of the past.
if it can handle a muzzle loader, i bet it'll handle a .243
Remington 700P (suppressed) - .308 Norinco SKS - 7.62x39 Mossberg 500 - 12 ga. Savage FV64 - .22 Marlin Model 60 - .22 EAA Witness P - 9mm S&W M&P Shield - 9mm AR15 - 5.56/.223 16" AR15 - 5.56/.223 16" AR15 - .223 Wylde 10.5" Pistol
The original Simmons ATEC line were very good scopes... That being said you should try your Simmons on your rifle. Once you get it zeroed do a box test on it to see if the POA changes. Box test = 1st shot on target. move reticle right 12 clicks fire shot Move reticle down 8 clicks fire shot Move reticle left 12 clicks fire shot Move reticle up 8 clicks fire shot. Your shot should be on your original point of aim or back to zero. Just make sure your rifle is nested in solid from the bench. **Your scope needs be mounted properly to your rifle

Director Stafford Arima is joined by Jon Hartmere (book and lyrics), Lynne Shankel (music supervision and additional music), Travis Wall (choreography) and the cast of Bare to talk about the new Off-Broadway production of the rock musical. First conceived and performed as a sung-through "pop opera," this latest version includes book scenes and new songs that seek to create deeper and more nuanced characters in the coming-of-age story about teens, repression and sexuality at a Catholic high school. Bare's characters are "works in progress," emotionally, seeking to find their authentic selves in a time of turmoil. For more on the show, click here.

Like others here, I am a Fireline user for life! I get the 4lb at Bass Pro shops. I use mainly 4mm crystals in my work, and I find that by going through my beads twice, it gives it a more "finished" look and feel. I also use the Big Eye needle.....can't do without that either!
I, too am a fanatic about the Dyneema/Spectra lines (the material that Fireline and PowerPro are made of). I am addicted to using a doubled thread, so I mainly use 5lb PowerPro in white or one f the colors - it comes in yellow, grey-green, red and a very pretty blue which is sold only for ice fishing. In winter, when I see that blue, I scarf it up! I also use FireLine in the grey for bead projects where I want the thread to recede and the beads to be a little less bold.
Unlike many of you guys, I have moved to smaller and smaller line over the years. I now use 4, 5 or 6 lb. line, whatever is available when I am looking. Because I am housebound, I buy all my line from Cabelas.com, a sporting goods store that usually has what I'm looking for at a very fair price. Recently, I bought three 300yd spools of Fireline from a person on Ebay for the same price as one 300yd spool at Cabela's. Both are identical, as far as I can tell.
Years ago, I wrote to Berkeley and asked if there was a difference between "beading line" and "fishing line." They came right out and said that it was merely a packaging difference. I cannot explain why the people in the beading class had different results, but it may be that some used different tension, needles or conditioned their thread in different ways. Even with Fireline, I use a heavy coat of beeswax, especially when I want the finished piece to have some body.
As far as coloring the line goes, I have found that PowerPro and FireWire Crystal are the best at taking coloring from a Sharpie. I wait until I have the project finished and then color only the exposed line, because the Sharpie will rub off on your fingers if you try to color it before weaving the piece. To remove some of the color from the smoke Firewire, I run the line through a bit of nail polish remover on a cotton ball. I have not found that this weakens the line in any way, and leaves it a paler gray that doesn't stain my fingertips.
And now a question for you experts? have you found a way of keeping the line from cutting your fingers, especially when making something that needs a decent amount of tension? In winter, which is when I do most of my beadweaving, I end up wearing bandaids or going around looking as if I own pet piranhas. I use the smallest sizes of line in #12 Indian bead needles, or when using 15/0 beads, I use a size 13 English beading needle. If any of you have any finger saving tricks, I would be eternally grateful.
Well, ain't I a lucky Gal! Am quite new at beading and my main bother is just that - the thread: it splits, tangles, breaks in my finished projects... [:'(] Happening accidentally on this discussion, I see that quite a few of you have pointed out exactly the same thing. So maybe it's not me but the thread!!
Fireline, here I come!

I understand the raw finger problem-it happens to me also, even with Nymo. I usually do the same thing as you-put a bandage where the thread rubs the most. I do the same thing when I keep pricking myself with a needle, since I'm not a big fan of thimbles. If anyone has a better suggestion, I'd be interested to hear it.
As far as the needle pricks goes you could try this little trick. Take your wire cutters and cut off the very end of your needle then use a nail file this works in keeping my fingers from getting poked and also helps keeps the needle from penetrating and fraying your thread. I started ding this when ever I used Nemo, but than I decided it would work with Fireline as well.
Happy Beading!!
Small-town USA.
I will make this disclaimer first and foremost - I am not a bead weaver so this may be a stupid thought...
Have you tried the rubber finger tips? You can get them in different sizes. The ones that I have are a weird brown tan color but there are also blue ones at wal-mart. They are not that expensive. The only this is at a office supply you probably will have more options like small medium large.
For those that are not familiar with these, they cover the first joint of the first ( mine I buy larger for work so that I can slip them off easily and they cover almost to my middle knuckle. But these may not be what you are looking for.
Another thought would be the stretch wrap for injuries. It does not stick to your skin but it sticks to itself. It may even be a pre-wrap. This is a fairly thick wrap more like an ace bandage than some of the really thin pre-wraps that you can see through. You would just have to wrap it so that the seam is not against the thread. I caught my nail about 1/2 way down and ripped it about 3/4 the way across. I have been wearing this the last couple of days and it is staying on. I can get the exact name if necessary.
Those are a couple of thoughts from someone who just bought a little loom and is trying a first serious attempt. It is okay to post back how ridiculous these suggestions are.
If anyone wants to try it, I would be happy to get the exact name of it.
Have a great day!
NOT stupid -- those rubberfinger tips would improve the friction as well, so one would be able to provide tensio more easily.

Ignorance is curable; Stupidity has neither cure nor excuse.
My daughter hit on the idea of making small finger covers from scrap leather. She uses them in her millinery making. Since it is my little finger which suffers most from "Firelilne" cuts, I have made one for it. It is longer than a traditional thimble so that it covers past the first joint (which is where the problem occurs). You just need a small piece of leather, cut to a bit larger than will cover your finger and with a very fine seam to join it up. Works very well.
Love those beady beads.
My Etsy Shop
To keep the thread from cutting my fingers, I wrap it around a pen that has a rubber cushion grip on it. Then I pull it to tighten tension.
Happy beading!
I don't know if this name will show up but I recently found that amazon (a-m-a-z-o-n-dot c-o-m) carries all weights, colors and spool sizes of Fireline, even the 300 yard rolls. Before I used to use only 6# but picked up a 4# roll at Wal Mart when they were out of 6. I made the attached Ndebele bracelet with it and it feels like fabrice. Which dispels the statement by Nymo users that Fireline is too stiff. I have made spirals with 6# and had no problem.
One other trick I forgot to add on Fireline. To remove some of the coating on it that sometimes comes off on your hands and to reduce any possible tangline pull it thru a sheet of fabric softner. You can do this before you start and while weaving if it starts to twist or tangle. I brought a box of cheap fabric sheets and keep it with my weaving stash.
Luv the bracelet, luv Fireline, luv the fabric softener sheet but prefer to use baby wipes myself.
Beads and Blessings
I never tried baby wipes, but what the fabric softner does is also take the static out of the fireline.
Sue Your a Honey! I love this idea. I break alot of the long needles(pulling too tight) I use an emeryboard to smooth them. Wow! never thought of doing it to prevent the the sharp point from fraying my Thread.
Love this idea, Thanks for sharing Everyone!
Gyspy Mary
Blessed are those who can Give, without remembering
and Take with out Forgetting
Glad you liked the idea Mary. I hope it not only keeps you from fraying your threads, but also helps to keep you from getting blood on your work.

Current Time
Cayman Islands restaurants
In the early 1970s, the Cayman Islands were a culinary backwater with only a handful of restaurants. But the rise of dive tourism (coupled with the islands' ascent as an offshore financial center) has increased that number exponentially and produced a vibrant dining scene that now runs the gamut from white-linen sophistication like George Town's Grand Old House to down-home spots like Vivine's Kitchen in the East End. Most eateries are concentrated near touristy George Town and Seven Mile Beach, but there are also plenty of off-the-beaten track gems. With the exception of the daily catch of fish, many ingredients are imported, although there is a growing locavore movement spearheaded by restaurants such as The Brasserie. The restaurant inventory on the Sister Islands is largely limited to dive-oriented resorts; there are stand-alone finds, however, such as Aunt Sha's Kitchen on Cayman Brac.

Keane sings Carlos' praises
18 Apr 2008 - 14:13:52
Sunderland boss Roy Keane is hoping that winger Carlos Edwards can find top form and full fitness in the closing weeks of an injury-ravaged season.
The 29-year-old Trinidad & Tobago international has made five appearances in recent weeks after recovering from a broken leg, with Keane a huge fan of Edwards' ability.
He told The Chronicle: "Carlos has had a stop-start season because of his injuries and we threw him straight back into action last month after he had played just one reserve game.
"We have not seen the best of Carlos yet, but even on a bad day he is a handful because of the runs he makes. I think opposing full-backs would prefer not to see his name on the team-sheet.
"We have to get the right type of service to him, though. It is no good giving him the ball with three defenders around him, which we have done a few times.
"We know Carlos is a threat and potentially there is a top game just around the corner from him. The sooner we see it the better."

Writing a technical document is hard. Reading a poorly written technical document is harder, and probably more painful than writing one. It takes a lot of work to create a clear, accurate, engaging piece of technical writing. Thus, in order to make life a little easier for all parties involved, I am going to share with you the 7 Rules that I follow when creating a piece of technical documentation. I did not think these rules up on my own. Rather, I formulated them from having had the benefit of working with many gifted technical and copy editors for more than a decade. Anything that I understand is because others have shown me the way. I cannot be more grateful. Hopefully after reading this article, you will have some new tools in your technical writing toolbox that will help you create technical documents that are clearer, more engaging, less confusing and a lot more fun to read. Also, I've added at no extra charge to you, the consumer, a bonus section at the end that describes the process I use to create a piece of technical writing. Okay, so here are the 7 Rules:
This is probably the hardest rule to formalize and the most important rule to follow. In the modern world of the Internet there are many forces at work vying for the attention of your reader. Boring, business as usual writing will not work. For better or worse, your reader wants to be entertained as well as informed. Therefore, if you create writing that is unclear and not fun, the reader will simply click the proverbial "next"; button and move on to another web page, another TV show or his or her Facebook page. The easiest way that I've found to keep the reader entertained is to keep myself entertained. I make a significant effort always to write an article that I will want to read. I strive to have fun when I am writing. If I'm bored, the reader will be bored. If I'm confused, the reader will be confused. If I don't really care about the topic at hand, the reader will never care. It's that simple. I like humor, so I try to make my writing humorous without compromising clarity. I try to talk to the reader, not at the reader. I write about topics that really matter to me. I use illustrations extensively in order to avoid confusing the reader. Again, I try always to make the reading experience fun. I am aware always that I am writing in a competitive environment. There's a lot of content out there that wants a piece of the reader's attention. Thus, my advice for Rule #1 is, if you make your writing fun for you, it will be fun for the reader. Technical writing is all about the subsequent behavior of the reader. The reader is investing time reading your work because he or she wants to be able to do something after the reading experience is over. That something may be learning how to make chocolate chip cookies, power down a nuclear reactor or set up a Hadoop cluster. The important thing to remember is that the reader is using your writing as a means to another end. Your piece is a vehicle to another well defined behavior. Thus, it will do you well to be very clear about what you want your reader to do after the reading experience is over. State your intention at the beginning. Don't leave the reader guessing. Your declaration can be something as simple and obvious as, "after reading this article you will be able to [fill in the blank here]." If you are clear about what you want your reader to do after you end, the easier it will be for you to write your piece at the beginning. A well formed outline is the skeleton around which your document grows. Writing a technical document without using an outline is like trying to navigate the New York City Subway System without a map. You can end up anywhere and that anywhere may not be where you intended to go. Writing to an outline is not about creating more work. It's about doing less work. When you write to an outline, you know where you've come from and where you are going to. There are two rules of outlining that I always use.
Allow me to elaborate. Listing 1 below is an example of an outline that violates the first rule: A sublevel topic requires at least one peer. 1. Making an Orange Cranberry Tangerine Fizzle 1.1. The steps required for the Fizzle 1.1.1. Preparing the ingredients 1.1.2. Mixing the Fizzle 1.1.3. Serving the Fizzle Notice please that in Listing 1, Level 1, has a single sublevel, 1.1 - The steps required for the Fizzle. This structure is a violation of the first rule. In order for a sublevel to be well formed, there must be at least one other peer for a topic. In other words, this means that there must be at least two sublevels for any given level. Please look at Listing 2 below. Notice that there are now three sublevels to Level 1, of which the topic, Mixing the fizzle, now has peers. The single level, The steps required for the Fizzle, has been eliminated. You may ask, "Where is the topic, The steps required for the fizzle?" The answer is that the topic is no longer an outline item but content within the parent topic as shown in Listing 2 below. 1. Making an Orange Cranberry Tangerine Fizzle The section below describes the process that you need follow to make an orange cranberry tangerine fizzle. 1.1. Preparing the ingredients 1.2. Mixing the Fizzle 1.3. Serving the fizzle Please notice that although Listing 2 presents an outline with a properly structured sublevel, there is only a single sentence as content for the Level 1 topic. Having a single sentence only as content to an outline topic violates the second rule of outlining, Any outline level requires at least two sentences. Listing 3 below shows the Orange Cranberry Tangerine Fizzle piece adjusted to support the Two Sentence rule. 1.Making an Orange Cranberry Tangerine Fizzle An Orange Cranberry Tangerine Fizzle can be a welcome treat on a hot summer day. The beverage is made from natural ingredients with no artificial flavors. An Orange Cranberry Tangerine Fizzle not only tastes good, but its good for you too! The sections below describe the process that you need follow to make an Orange Cranberry Tangerine fizzle. 1.1. Preparing the ingredients 1.2. Mixing the Fizzle 1.3. Serving the fizzle Why all the hubbub about proper outline structure and at least two sentences to a level? First, following the Sublevel rule forces me to be very clear about the logical segmentation of my piece. Also the Sublevel rule ensures that my writing communicates my ideas with a flow that makes sense and is easy to follow. Second, The Two Sentence rule forces me to create copy that is engaging, detailed and makes sense. "One sentence" writing often lacks detail. And, with the exception of one- liner comedy, writing of the "one sentence" variety is not the most interesting copy to read. Ambiguous pronoun references are probably the most typical cause of confusion in the practice of technical writing. Consider the paragraph in Listing 4. This paragraph may seem a bit comical, but it illustrates some important points. First, the paragraph attempts to put you in a place that the reader occupies. The reader wants to understand what's going on but is unfamiliar with the language in play. And because the language is unfamiliar, the reader is ignorant and thus, vulnerable. The reader wants new information; he or she wants to get smarter. But the reader is also a bit anxious. Admitting ignorance, even to one's self, even at a subconscious level, can be disconcerting. The reader is cognitively fragile. Concepts and words that you, the writer, take for granted, might be completely foreign to the reader. One ill explained concept or one word used without proper clarification can turn the reader off. In the case of the paragraph above, I would not be surprised were you to be asking, "What is a Trafalgabor? What is a Weebietata? What is the paragraph talking about? How to use Trafalgabors? How to use Weebietatas? How to use both of them? This is confusing. I am going back to my Facebook page." If a reader has to take time out from your writing to figure out what you are trying to communicate, not only is expository flow compromised, the reader most probably will become confused. Once you confuse the reader, you've lost. All the other stuff in the world demanding the reader's attention becomes more attractive than your work. So, the "next" button is clicked and your work goes unread. In the case of Listing 4 shown above, the confusion is caused by the ambiguous use of the pronoun, they in the second sentence. Does they refer to the Trafalgabors, the Weebietatas or both? Remember please that the reader knows nothing of Trafalgabors or Weebietatas. (Please see Figure 1 below.) The solution to the problem is simple. Please take a look at Listing 5 below. The ambiguous pronoun is removed. Clarity is restored. Beware! The ambiguous use of pronouns is a sign post on the road to confusing technical writing. Please take a look at the photo below. Tell me if you can, what is the graphic about? I am not surprised should you find yourself a bit perplexed. It's a perplexing photo. You know what the items are, but you have no idea what they mean. Such is the nature of an illustration. A picture without words lacks context. When it comes to illustrations, readers require context in order to avoid confusion. The reader should not need to waste time or thought trying to figure out what an illustration is about. The easiest way to avoid confusing illustrations is to provide a caption. Please take a look at the Figure 2 below. It is the same photo. There is little question as to what the photo is about. When it comes to technical writing, I have found it to be a good practice to provide numbered, descriptive captions with all illustrations. Please, don't create captions that are figure numerals only. Use both a figure numerals and a descriptive comment in the caption. Also, you'll do well to avoid orphaning illustrations. An orphan illustration is a figure that exists within the piece of technical writing yet has no reference from within the copy. If you insert an illustration into your writing, make sure to refer to it in your copy by figure number and location using words such as, above and below. You don't want to reader taking time out from reading your work to try to associate an illustration to copy or to locate an illustration within your article. If you add have a "Figure 4" in your piece, make sure that you have language in the text that says something like, please refer to Figure 4 below. Note: The eye is attracted to pictures A decade back I worked in the group that wrote hard copy user manuals for a very, very big computer manufacturer. All manuals were subject to formal, quantitative usability study. One of the things that the User Experience Ph. Ds taught me is that as a subject reads a manual, the reader's eye goes to the pictures first. Then the reader will read the copy around the picture. Thus, the manual writer's tried to make sure that every page of a manual had at least one picture. Concepts are hard to understand....that's why they're called, concepts. So, when it comes time for me to write about a concept, whether it is, the Second Law of Thermodynamics, a piece of coding technique or a full fledged software framework, I use the following pattern in my writing: concept - logical illustration - example. I try to never introduce a concept without substantiating the concept with a logical illustration and then an example. Let's apply this rule to describe an elementary algebraic concept. The Transitive Property of Equality is as follows: If A = B, and B = C, then A = C Now let's provide a logical illustration that describes the concept. (Please see Figure 3.) Listing 6 below shows a few concrete examples to solidify the understanding of the concept at hand.
Thus, the rule as has been satisfied. We presented the concept, The Transitive Property of Equality, provided a descriptive illustration and followed up with concrete examples that substantiate the concept. Let's move on to a concept that is more relevant to software development and a bit more difficult to understand. The concept is Maven POM Inheritance. In Exhibit 1 below you are presented with the concept at hand and then a logical illustration that describes the concept. Finally, you are presented with another illustration that shows the concrete use of a POM files in an inheritance situation. A POM file (Project Object Model) is the XML file that you use to describe and work with a Maven project. You can set up a Maven project to inherit settings from a separate parent POM file. The ability to inherit settings from a parent POM file is called, POM Inheritance. You use the <parent> element in your POM file to define a parent POM file from which to inherit settings. Figure 4 below illustrates a fictitious project hierarchy that represents an example of how you can set up a master POM file from which other POM files can inherit common settings. Figure 5 below shows the contents POM.xml files for the Maven projects, stooges-web, stooges-api and stooges-dal. Each project is configured to use the <parent> element to inherit settings from stooges-project. The example above relies heavily upon figures to provide logical illustration and a concrete example of the concept at hand. Creating interesting, engaging and accurate illustrations and examples are a difficult undertaking, but well worth the effort. Many times creating the illustrations for a piece of technical writing and providing example code will take as much, if not more time than writing the actual copy. Thus, I plan accordingly when allocating my time to meet a deadline. When it comes to making a concept crystal clear, illustrate and then provide an example. It's rare to produce a good piece of technical writing right off the bat. Understanding your topic, organizing your ideas and then finding the language to present the ideas clearly and accurately takes time as well as a lot of effort. Therefore, don't constrain yourself by expecting to get everything right the first time. Rather, plan to write at least three versions of your piece. The first version just gets some words in print so that you can understand your intentions. The second version brings clarity and accuracy to your work. Then, once you have your facts right, your illustrations clear and your organization logical, create a third version that makes your work engaging and special. To hijack the Thomas Edison quote, "Technical writing is 10% composition and 90% revision!" Now that you learned about the 7 Rules for Creating World Class Technical Documentation, I am going to share with you the process that I use to create a piece of technical writing. It's short, but to the point. I call the process, The 7 Steps for Making a Technical Document. Here goes:
There you have it. 7 Rules, 7 Steps. Who could ask for more? So, now that you've learned all of my tricks, feel free to go forth and make the world a more accurate, engaging, illustrative and interesting place in which to live. It's worth the effort.
The 7 Rules for Writing World Class Technical Documentation
November 30, 2009
1. Dry sucks
2. Before you start, be clear about what you want your reader to do after you end
3. Write to a well formed outline, always
4. Avoid ambiguous pronouns

Historables Apps -- feature adorable, historical characters to delight children 3 to 6 with story, music, humor and creativity.
About this project
Historables Apps: Marie Ant-toinette
First: Whether or not you become an official backer, your comments, suggestions and willingness to tell others about this project will be incredibly valuable and appreciated! Thanks for taking a look!
The Historables project will begin with a family of iPad and Android tablet apps for young kids – each featuring an adorable, historically-based character. Over time, the project will grow to include quality books, toys and TV -- and we hope that it will never end.
The project for which we are seeking your enthusiasm and support here on Kickstarter is the first App in the project – Historables: Marie Ant-toinette.
Each character has a unique 'home' and topic area. Here are the first four members of the 20-character-strong Historables family:
Why This Is Worth Funding
A big percentage of young children utilize digital media on a regular basis and the trend is only accelerating. And in our estimation (yes, we are parents!) not enough well-crafted, engaging options exist that are fun, creative and educational.
Please join us in supporting this effort to build something that will delight 3 to 6-year-olds with story, music and humor. These fun and educational games will encourage children's natural curiosity and creativity – and hey, maybe even the real historical figures will seem familiar when they learn about them years later.
Here are some images from the game designs for the Marie Ant-toinette App, which will be a completely ad-free experience for children:
Funding Goal
We are seeking funding for the completion and marketing of the first App in the Historables family of apps. We're currently neck deep in the development process for this first Historables app, and are planning to release it (and all Historables apps) in both the iPad and Android tablet markets.
Project Timeline & Status
For Marie Ant-toinette (and three other Historables characters), we have coded and tested the basic game dynamics in an online Flash environment. Please go to www.whereverland.com and click on 'Marie Ant-toinette' if you'd like to experience this online, mouse-click test and see the direction that we are taking as we move development into an html5 environment for iOS and Android devices. And, our iOS development is very far along, thanks to our rockstar software engineer, Mike Ainsa. We are well on our way, and with your backing, we'll be able to submit the iPad app to Apple for approval later this month (or next at the very latest!).
Please check back soon for updates and more information regarding the Historables Project.

Wearable Stratasys And Materialise 3D Printed Pieces Hit Paris Fashion Week At Iris Van Herpen Show
MINNEAPOLIS, REHOVOT, Israel and LEUVEN, Belgium, January 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Iris van Herpen collaborates with Prof. Neri Oxman, Julia Koerner, Stratasys and Materialise for latest fashion collection
Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSYS), a leading manufacturer of 3D printers and production systems for prototyping and manufacturing and Materialise, a Belgian-based pioneer in Additive Manufacturing software and solutions, today announced the unveiling of 3D printing collaborations on the catwalks of Paris Fashion Week as part of Iris van Herpen's Haute Couture show, 'VOLTAGE'.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130122/589134-a )
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130122/589134-b ) (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130122/589134-c ) (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130122/589134-d ) Dutch designer van Herpen's eleven-piece collection featured two 3D printed ensembles, including an elaborate skirt and cape created in collaboration with artist, architect, designer and professor Neri Oxman from MIT's* Media Lab, and 3D printed by Stratasys. An intricate dress was also designed in collaboration with Austrian architect Julia Koerner, currently lecturer at UCLA Los Angeles, and 3D printed by Materialise, marking the second piece created together with Koerner and the ninth with Materialise. The 3D printed skirt and cape were produced using Stratasys' unique Objet Connex multi-material 3D printing technology, which allows a variety of material properties to be printed in a single build. This allowed both hard and soft materials to be incorporated within the design, crucial to the movement and texture of the piece. "The ability to vary softness and elasticity inspired us to design a "second skin" for the body acting as armor-in-motion; in this way we were able to design not only the garment's form but also its motion," explains Oxman. "The incredible possibilities afforded by these new technologies allowed us to reinterpret the tradition of couture as "tech-couture" where delicate hand-made embroidery and needlework is replaced by code." Van Herpen adds, "I feel it's important that fashion can be about much more than consumerism, but also about new beginnings and self-expression, so my work very much comes from abstract ideas and using new techniques, not the re-invention of old ideas. I find the process of 3D printing fascinating because I believe it will only be a matter of time before we see the clothing we wear today produced with this technology, and it's because it's such a different way of manufacturing, adding layer-by-layer, it will be a great source of inspiration for new ideas." According to van Herpen, motivation to collaborate with Oxman came after seeing her ' Imaginary Beings : Mythologies of the Not Yet' collection - 3D printed by Stratasys' matchless Objet Connex multi-material 3D printing technology - that featured in the Multiversités Créatives exhibition at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, last spring. Oxman explains that the joint venture is very much an extension of the series: "This project has taken 'Imaginary Beings' to 'Wearable Beings', myths that one can wear. The original collection includes 18 Stratasys 3D printed prototypes for the human body inspired by Jorge Luis Borges' Book of Imaginary Beings. They are human augmentations inspired by nature; but not all wearable. For Iris' collection at Paris Fashion Week it was important to take the series to the next level, thinking not only about form and materials, but also about movement and wearability. This was a new challenge for me and for my colleagues - Prof. W. Craig Carter (Department of Materials Science & Engineering) and Keren Oxman. It inspired us to design algorithms that could map physical movement and material behaviour to geometrical form and morphological variation in a seamless and continuous wearable surface." Van Herpen, Koerner and Materialise have continued testing the limits of 3D printing with this 3D printed dress, proving once again that normal rules don't apply when fashion and high technology combine. In last season's ' Hybrid Holism' collection, they first introduced the use of Materialise's Mammoth Stereolithography machines for a stunning semi-transparent dress that one spectator compared to liquid honey. For this latest collection, ready for an even greater challenge, an experimental new material was put to use in the creation of a flexible, soft dress of stunning complexity. The piece's intricate lace-like texture was created with precision by lasers (in a process known as Laser Sintering) and would have been impossible to realise any other way. Julia Koerner explains, "My collaboration with Materialise for the 3D printed dress for Iris van Herpen's Haute Couture Show 'Voltage' 2013 reveals a highly complex, parametrically generated, geometrical structure. The architectural structure aims to superimpose multiple layers of thin woven lines which animate the body in an organic way. Exploiting computational boundaries in combination with emergent technology selective laser sintering, of a new flexible material, lead to enticing and enigmatic effects within fashion design. New possibilities arise such as eliminating seams and cuts where they are usually placed in couture." Following the Paris Fashion Show, the skirt and cape will be exhibited at MIT's Media Lab. * MIT = Massachusetts Institute of Technology About Stratasys Ltd.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Fulton, Mo. – Saturday, February 25, will go down in Westminster College history as A GREAT TO BE A BLUE JAY. Joe James made a buzzer beater to lift the Blue Jay men past MacMurray College 58-56 in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SLIAC) men's basketball tournament final in St. Louis. And, then the Blue Jay women toppled Eureka College 60-54 in Fulton to claim the women's title. Now both teams are dancing into their respective NCAA Division III national tournaments.
Fans of Westminster College basketball can join the madness and find out where the Blue Jay men and women will be playing when the NCAA tournament selections are announced on Monday.

5 Warning Signs That Your Marriage May Be Heading For A Divorce
5) Do you find yourself wondering if your spouse if having an affair? Anytime someone in a marriage is worried about the other partner having an affair, it's an indication that there is an erosion of trust, connection, and the ability to reach out to your partner about your fears, longings and needs. Pay attention to this feeling and let your spouse know that you feel you need to get help in understanding why there has been such a disconnection and an increase of worries.
Getting help from a trained professional marriage therapist is so important if you find you can't let your partner know about your feelings. A Certified Emotionally Focused Couple Therapist specializes in working on the relationship attachment and helping the couple create a safe haven to begin exploring what has gotten in the way of connecting to the person you married. Most couples find that the reasons they have become disconnected is that there were too many times when one or both needed to reach out to their partner for support, but felt that it was unsafe to do so or when they did, their partner wasn't really there for them. When the couple has gotten into fights or disagreements and there was no repair done to make amends, this aggravate the issue. Remember, you married someone because you felt an intense, strong, attachment and connection, so finding that, again, can save your marriage!

The Reporter: It was not quite relief but at last a sense of location, of reality, that came on the South Lawn of the White House later in that strangely balmy evening. With terrific noise and lots of wind, resembling a monstrous wasp, the brown army helicopter bearing President Johnson bore down on the White House, hovered a moment, and then came to rest on the floodlit lawn . almost at once the exchange of gossipy desperate questions among reporters was altered. The known, manageable Washington seemed to return with Johnson. Where was he going? reporters now demanded. Who was he seeing? What was the President going to do?

Hi there, SCV - please understand your issue isn't being ignored. We're in beta, so at this point, I'm sure you can understand it's difficult juggling the bugs and issues that pop up constantly. While yours is just as *important* as others, there are very, very few people affected by this, and because of that, it's going to take a back seat to issues that affect the largest number of users. In your case, it's probably a hardware conflict or similar. This is important for us to know, and it's great you've taken the time to post. That said, I'm sure you understand we've got to run everything through a sort of 'triage' - and at this point, we've got to tend to the most wide-reaching issues first. Please try and remember this is a beta, and bugs are to be expected... that's why there's a beta Thanks for your patience!

With consumer notebook sales in India estimated to touch 12.5 lakh units by June next, electronics major Sony is expecting to double its sales to Rs 1,000 crore in FY '10, a top company official said.
"The consumer notebook segment (laptops, netbooks, pocket PCs) are growing fast in India. In FY '10 (starting this May), Sony intends to achieve a 20 per cent market share in this segment and double the sales to 2.5 lakh units," Sony India's Managing Director Masaru Tamagawa told reporters here on Tuesday.
Sony India had sold about 1.2 lakh units of different models of its Vaio notebooks in FY '09 ending May, Mr. Tamagawa said. The sales stood at around Rs 520 crore.
Last year, the market was pegged at Rs 4,000 crore with 10 lakh units of consumer notebooks sold across the different brands and this year it is expected to touch Rs 5,000 crore.
Mr. Tamagawa said that Sony, which had its Vaio models in the premium segment earlier, wants to tap the potential in the mass segment.
The company on Tuesday launched its range of Vaio E Series laptops starting at Rs 34,000.
"The E Series models are designed keeping in mind everyday ease-of-use and the youth. These are affordable, light in weight, easy to carry and use and also comes in vivid colours, which makes it more appealing," Mr. Tamagawa added.

"Things Sierra Club Loves" at the state capitol
Twenty four environmental leaders turned out in the middle of a work day for the first "Things Sierra Club Loves" event at the state Capitol on 02/11/15.
