Episcopal priest the Rev. Caroline J. Addington Hall has written a book that should be of interest to United Methodists embroiled in debates over human sexuality and the church. In her book, A Thorn in the Flesh: How Gay Sexuality Is Changing the Episcopal Church, she tells the recent history of the Episcopal Church from the birth of the sexual liberation movement in the 1960s to the current situation of schism and division.
The story is told in detail and with a sensitivity to the nuance and complexity of the debates and politics that play out on a national and global scale. A married lesbian, Hall is an advocate in the battles and her framing of the debate, tone, and language do not hide this. What she describes in the book is a splintering of two churches that started coming apart at the beginning of the 19th century. In her words:
In this period of reformation, the interpretation/authority of scripture has been challenged many times: the abolition of slavery as an acceptable way of life, the acceptance of divorce, the ordination of women, and now full inclusion of gay and lesbian people. This latter is perhaps the bitterest fight because it incorporates the question of gender as well as the question of marriage, and it is also the most difficult to argue because the Bible says nothing positive about homosexuality. The battle for gay inclusion of exclusion seems to mark the development of two different religions, both called Christianity, but it may have served as the final point of bifurcation for two strands that began to unravel as early as the late nineteenth century.
The book is fascinating because of its depth as it traces the story of the Episcopal Church in recent decades. It is fascinating for this United Methodist as we appear to be walking over much of the same ground.
This brief review cannot do justice to the book, but reading it did raise two other thoughts that may or may not be worthy of further discussion.
First, Hall connects the ongoing battles over sexuality in the church to the Baby Boomer (my word, not hers) generation's coming of age in the 1960s. The left-right divide of that decade set the terms for the debate and the issues going forward. I wonder, in part, if this is why the rising Millennial generation is so weary of this conversation. It is their parents' fight, not their own. This is my question, not Hall's, but her book stirred the thought.
Second, Hall connects the debate over sexuality to broader questions in the church. For instance, she offers this observation about the various responses within the Anglican Communion to Islam.
In the Anglican debate, the second question about coexisting religions becomes: Is Jesus Christ the only way to God, or is it limiting God to think that he cannot also work in other ways? Archbishop Akinola, who sees Jesus as the only way, aimed to grow the Church of Nigeria as big as possible in order to vanquish Islam nonviolently — though he has never ruled out the possibility of violent response. Presiding Bishop Jefferts Schori, on the other hand, sees the valuable contribution of Islam and has joined in faith conversations with Muslim leaders.
I find Hall's engagement with the broader set of issues and the broader context of Anglican Christianity most helpful. It sees issues as inter-related rather than isolated, which strikes me as more reflective of real life.
Hall does not hide her bias in the book. Conservative motives are often cast in a negative light and liberals are the heroes. She ends the book with an appendix that argues that the Bible does not really teach what traditional Christians have said it does. But the book is fascinating reading and an in-depth look at the melange of issues that the United Methodist Church has been wrestling with for 45 years. As our church becomes more "global," the fault lines Hall describes will only deepen.

Barney Desmazery
As Good Food's self-confessed kitchen fanatic, Barney has a passion for food and the finer points of cooking
After seven years working as a chef in France, London and Sydney, Barney joined Good Food as cookery writer in 2001, and is Good Food's Food editor.
Passion for food
More than anything, Barney likes seeing people enjoy what he's cooked, sitting down to eat with family and friends.
He believes you can't cook something properly without being passionate and enthusiastic from the start and he loves the finer points of cooking such as butchery and the technical knife skills. He likes to picks up tips from contributing chefs and pass them on to the reader, much like a footballer would watch a match and learn from their favourite player.
Outside the office, he's compiling a book of seasonal recipes that he's contributed to the magazine over the years and is a doting dad to Maisie and Jack.
- What three ingredients do you always have in your fridge?
- A whole piece of smoked bacon or pancetta, eggs and a block of Grana Padano - add a couple more ingredients and the 15 minute supper possibilities are endless.
- Who do you admire, and what would you cook for them?
- I admire the people at The Kids Cookery School who have been teaching kids to cook since Jamie was still eating school dinners and the government had long forgotten about cooking on the curriculum. What would I cook for them? Something deliciously simple like wild mushrooms on toast or a perfectly roasted chicken.
- Who inspired you to start cooking and fuelled your love of food?
- I can't remember a time when food hasn't been important. Meal time as a child was always three or four simple little courses rather than a huge plateful of food. Wanting to learn how to cook properly just seemed like a good idea but once I enrolled into catering college I was hooked. What continues to fuel my love has been feeding my daughter and watching with amazement as she tries something new and scrumptious. Feeding kids properly really isn't that hard and should be one of the most important things you do as a parent.

If you have ever come in contact with a beehive in real life, you know it could be one of the most interesting structures you've encountered, yet an extremely scary one as well.
The buzzing sound of the bees alone is alerting enough to stay away, as you probably don't want to deal with such an injury. Here's a beehive that's 100% less intimidating and one of the most beautiful you could possibly run into.

Last Revision: | Version 1.2, 2010-06-25 Changed deployment target back to iPhone OS 3.2 and added CFBundleIconFiles in Info.plist. (Full Revision History) |
Build Requirements: | iOS 4.0 SDK |
Runtime Requirements: | iPhone OS 3.2 or later |
iPhoneMixerEQGraphTest demonstrates how to build an Audio Unit Graph connecting a MultiChannel Mixer to the iPodEQ unit then to the RemoteIO unit.
Two input busses are created each with input volume controls. An overall mixer output volume control is also provided and each bus may be enabled or disabled. The iPodEQ may be enabled or disabled and a preset EQ curve may be chosen via a picker in the iPod Equalizer view. iPhoneMixerEQGraphTest uses 44.1kHz source and sets the hardware sample rate to 44.1kHz to avoid any extraneous sample rate conversions.
Touching the "Play Audio" button simply calls AUGraphStart while "Stop Audio" calls AUGraphStop. Changing AU volume is performed via AudioUnitSetParameter. The iPodEQ unit presets are returned by using AudioUnitGetProperty asking for the kAudioUnitProperty_FactoryPresets CFArrayRef. A current preset is then selected calling AudioUnitSetProperty using the kAudioUnitProperty_PresentPreset property and passing in the appropriate AUPreset. Note that the AU Host owns the returned CFArray and should release it when done.
Audio data is provided from two stereo audio files. The audio data is AAC compressed and ExtAudioFile is used to convert this data to the Core Audio Canonical uncompressed LPCM client format for input to the multichannel mixer.
All the relevant audio code is in the file AUGraphController.mm

Lip salve
So! My friend Leigh told me about Rosebud Salve, which is soft, supple and slightly rose-scented. It will keep your lips moisturized and rose-tinted all winter. I brought some with us while traveling this holiday, and the crazy bonus is that you can also use it for dry skin in the winter, sunburns in the summer and diaper rash! Have you ever tried it?
(Photo by the Sartorialist)
186 comments:
I've been using it since I was a wee one (I am old now:). You can only imagine how my mother (who has used it since the 50s) finds the popularity hilarious. But she is pleased, too. Kinda of like when Kiehl's became more than the pharmacy brand. I've saved the little tins since I was a kid, too. (And the large ones)
ReplyDeleteI was a Carmex girl forever, but I wanted something new that would add some color, and, let's face it, look prettier when I took it out of my purse. I'd read about beauty editors' love of Rosebud Salve for years so I tried it and I'm in love! It gives lips a natural glow, keeps them moisturized forever and comes in an oh-so-pretty tin. Love it!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this stuff! I actually have the mint & rosebud one, which I love too. It's really perfect: glossy but not too shiny, soft but not sticky, scented but not artificially perfumed.
I've worn lipgloss all my life, but when I turned 27 I thought maybe I was old enough to try lipstick. :) I have some lip tints from The Body Shop that I really like - they're not quite as opaque as lipstick, but give me more colour than even the rosebud salve. It's a good transition for me.I don't really think this gives me any sort of tint, but I love how glossy and soft it makes my lip. I get really bad cracked cuticles and hangnails, but if I rub this into my nails it really helps heal/ prevent them. It also heals dry spots that even lotion won't work on! If you cant tell I love this salve!
ReplyDeleteI have been using Rosebud Salve since high school and I adore it! It has become a mandatory part of my morning regimen and in the cold months, I swipe it on before bed and my lips don't dry out. It lasts forever and after I'm done, I use the cute tins to hold pills or safety pins or other little treasures. I have found that you either love it or you hate it--a lot of my friends think it smells like a grandma, but I think it smells like heaven! Then again, is there much of a difference between grandmothers and heaven? I think not. :)
ReplyDeleteI impulse bought Kiehl's Lip Gloss just this past weekend. Up until then I usually just wore vaseline. This is a huge improvement and very gentle on the skin (I have the worst chapped lips, sensitive skin...) The Kiehl's gloss makes my lips feel moisturized and gives a little color. I higly recommend it!
ReplyDeleteI've used Rose's for a LONG time and I love it (sometimes I rub it on my cheeks!). I grow roses at my house and clip the rose hips to make my own version of lip salve (I use this recipe from an eBook I helped author). Super easy to make and an awesome Vitamin C kick to boot (for healthy skin)!
ReplyDeleteI am a lip balm addict, but have always preferred a red lip. My husband never liked lipstick for the same reasons your husband doesn't like it. Luckily, I found that Armani's lipstick doesn't dry my lips and stays put very well. My favorite color is #8 and it doesn't come off when I smooch my husband or my little boy. :)
ReplyDeleteI have used it for a while, but while it does soften rough lips, I have found it doesn't do much more than Vaseline does (although the scent is a plus!). I switched to Burt's Bees tinted lip balm (the one in the chocolate brown packaging) and Fresh's Sugar Lip Treatment. Nothing beats the Sugar Lip Treatment, but while I'm a bit down on money, I find Burt's Bees to be an excellent option!
ReplyDeleteI'm like Sara, anything I can put on my lips I do. I will give any color a go, but I find the more mauve/brownish colors work best on me. I do tend to go to the lipsticks over the chapsticks if given the choice though. My everyday go-to that I cannot live without is MAC's satin lipstick in Twig! I can't live without it!!!
http://ilookgoodtoday.comJoanna, I know there is a cult following for Smith's Rosebud Salve but have you ever tried C.O. Bigelow's Rose Salve? You can purchase it for about $6 at Bath & Body Works and I think it's even better than Smith's. The scent is more like a fresh rose, less stuffy and medicinal. It also comes in an adorable pink tin.
ReplyDeleteI am a lip balm-aholic! I also don't tend to wear lipstick since my husband has the same, no kiss policy when I'm wearing it. I'm obsessed with Blistex Herbal Answer. It's smooth and creamy, the only bad thing is that it's not readily available in stores, or at least the ones I'm near. I'm so crazy about it I bought 10 tubes on Drugstore.com, for fear they might be discontinuing it.
ReplyDelete- Kate2:42 PM
My Burt's Bees chapstick doesn't seem to be doing enough for my lips this winter. Maybe I should give this a go! I'm curious though... if there's a tint, how does it look on your hands, elbows, etc?
I'll second another commenter in saying that the Just Bitten lip stain from Revlon really works... as in, I didn't like the color I bought and couldn't remove it the entire night! :( i live and die by Weleda Everon chapstick. I used to live in Switzerland and that (plus a cold-cream chapstick by Avene, that I used for deep winter) is the only chapstick I use now. I also put it on dry spots, but since it's small (and not in a tin) I don't think it would work for flyaway hair or diaper rash :)
ReplyDeleteyes I have used it for years, I like the tubes you can get at anthropologie now. I recently found a great one to add a little hint of color, its Burts Bees and I love the "rose" color...very natural looking and feels good on: http://www.burtsbees.com/natural-products/lips-lip-color/tinted-lip-balm.html
ReplyDelete- Alina9:28 PM
I'm more of a Chapstick girl now, but am still trying to find the right kind--one with as few scary-sounding ingredients as possible. I didn't choose Rosebud Salve because I wasn't impressed by the ingredients or the reviews of it that I found. I went with EOS lip balm in Lemon Drop (today, actually, because I just ran out!). It seems to be working well so far, and it smells great, too.
ReplyDelete I used to use this, but i hate the too glossy feeling it leaves and i think its the petroleum that does that. Having worked for fresh for a long time, I felt like I couldn't cheat on the sugar lip treatment (good, but goes away too fast in this bitter cold!). Now that I work elsewhere, and feel like I can use anything, I'm completely hooked on a product from the husbands homeland, hudsalva forsvarets, or "swedish military cream". Its the best for this cold cold weather! You can also cook with it, or grease a bicycle wheel with it, and it tastes like vanilla, all natural ingredients. Prior to this and to fresh, my sister and I used to hoard european lip balm, labella, and all its incarnations in various countries. Now you can buy it at Shen Beauty! Hudsalva might be harder to find, but really worth it!
ReplyDelete- Caz8:57 PM
My absolute favourite is Lucas' Pawpaw Ointment, which I think you can only get here in Australia?
It's made from fermented pawpaw (papaya) and it's amazing - keeps your lips so soft and moisturized and gives them shine without being sticky. Plus it's great for insect bites, rash, and dry elbows or heels.
That's all I wear everyday, but if I'm dressing up I like to wear red or a pinky-plum lipstick :) - Liz1:56 PM
In general I hate flowery scents, but I've been using rose salve for YEARS because it is the absolute best. It makes your lips SO soft too. I cannot even tell you how many times I've kissed someone and have them remark about the softness of my lips. Rose salve is the only lip product I ever use, so it's GOT to be the secret!
ReplyDelete - Anonymous6:45 AM
I tried this salve some time ago because everyone on the net claimed it could do anything - tame fly away hairs, dry hands, chapped lips, even cure cancer. It is NOT THAT GOOD. I rarely use it. Only when my cheap, Target-bought lip balm / chapstick is lost. Don't waste your money. It's scented petroleum and does not have magic powers. If you wouldn't put vaseline in your hair, on your face, etc etc, then you won't use it. Just my two cents - hoping to save someone their own 2 cents!
ReplyDelete Hi Jo, I ran into in Venice on your LA trip a couple years ago...
I love this salve and was just wandering NYC looking for it. (In LA, it's at Fred Segal Santa Monica). Thanks for reminding me how cheap and fast it is to have it shipped. (It's also great for cuticles!)
stylespotting.com- Jenny12:45 PM
I love it! I've used chapstick for years because I like my lips to be moisturized but not sticky, and no glosses or balms seemed to fit the bill. But about a year I discovered Rosebud Salve and I'm so glad I did! It leaves my lips moisturized, smooth and soft looking, and subtly glossy without being sticky. Now I get the polished, put together look without the mess. A seriously great compromise between chapstick and gooey gloss!

Although the Lafayette area has some hills suitable for basic beginner snowboarding, downhill skiers have to leave to find venues with ski ropes or amenities. With the closing of the Nashville and Valparaiso venues, only 2 ski resorts remain in Indiana.
Perfect North Slopes (link) at Lawrenceburg (link) is near Cincinnati and about a 3.5 to 4 hour drive. This historic area along the Ohio makes for a good weekend getaway in spring through fall. With Perfect North Slopes and some cold weather it's also a great winter getaway. They feature downhill, snowboard and tube slopes.
Paoli Peaks (link) near Paoli is a popular venue. A 3.5 to 4 hour drive from Lafayette, Paoli is south of Bloomington on 37 and east of French Lick on 150/56. French Lick (link) is the closest town for hotel accommodations. If you are visiting Bloomington, Louisville or Evansville areas, Paoli Peaks is a day run.
To the north, southwest Michigan ski resorts are very popular with Lafayette skiers.
Swiss Valley (link) is the closest at about 2.5 to 3 hours drive. It is between South Bend and Kalamazoo for hotel accommodation. It is certainly near enough to make a day trip of it.
Timber Ridge (link) near Gobles is about 3.5 hours drive. Kalamazoo (link) is the closest big city for hotel accommodations, although it's about 45 minutes to South Haven (link) so that is a good option as well.
Bittersweet (link) is about 20 minutes north of Timber Ridge at about 3.5 to 4 hours drive.
It is fairly common to see Lafayette folk at any of these three Michigan venues. Staying in Kalamazoo or South Haven on Saturday night allows for a ski day at both Timber Ridge and Bittersweet.

The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand.

Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding of the news we deliver. Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news. We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of San Francisco, California, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the San Francisco Star.

Notes from Cape Town, South Africa on music, movies, art, design, advertising, marketing, technology and occasionally some politics.
Its really hard to put into words what it is like to attend Afrikaburn (The South African version of Burning Man and an official regional festival) and spend 6 days camped out in the middle of the Karoo. Absolute madness and bliss is the best I can come up with at the moment.
For those of you who have been there is no need to explain that Tankwa Town is a wondrous playground filled with self expression, art, music and loads of other strange and wonderful sights and sounds. For those who have not been - im not even going to try and explain what its like, its just not possible.
Getting back to normality has been a little extreme and im still feeling the decompression and will be feeling it for a while - the only thing that makes it easier is knowing I will be heading back next year….

All of sudden there is a lot of hype for ALL boaters (canoes, kayaks and paddle boats are included) to get their new free Aquatic Invasive Species sticker. However you are still free to tell them to stick the sticker elsewhere at least for a few boating seasons. Keep in mind you might get a warning. See below for all the details of the new sticker...
A new law that was passed in 2011 (Minnesota Statues 86B.508) requires a watercraft owner or operator to obtain and attach an aquatic invasive species rules decal to all types of watercraft prior to launching on, entering into, or operating on any waters of the state. The FREE decals are available at DNR offices, Deputy Registrar offices where licenses are sold, and large sport shops, as well from DNR Watercraft Inspectors and conservation officers.
The top part of the sticker must be placed inside the watercraft where it can be read, and shown to a conservation officer, and the bottom part refering to the drain plug goes by the winch. In the cases of boats without drain plugs, I think you can discard that portion.
If the owner does not want to stick the decal on the boat because it is an antique wooden boat or other unique boat, they may attach the decal to an object or laminate it and attach it like a luggage tag.
Now if you're not wild about sticking a new sticker on your boat, canoe, kayak you can wait. It is not until August 1st of 2014, that you can be charged with a petty misdemeanor. I'll think I'll wait to add one to my kayak. I'll get one for my boat because sometimes I need a reminder about the drain plug!!

"The more I watched Jarod, the more I liked him every time I saw him. He just has a tremendous basketball IQ. He plays hard and has a super motor and he is a good human being. He is a solid individual," said Brown.
Rhodes looked no further than Lee when it came time to make a college choice. The 6-2 highly regarded rebounder, who will also work to earn a degree in physical education, said the Flames basketball program is just the kind of situation that will allow him to grow as an athlete and individual.
"I chose Lee because they have a good basketball program and I think I can get a lot of exposure. I also think I can get a lot of playing time," said Rhodes.
McCowan said Rhodes' best plan of action is to continue what he has done at Cleveland and work as hard as he can to continue to improve on the basketball court.
"I hope he just continues to do what he did here at Cleveland and that was to be himself. When we got Jarod, we realized very quickly he was a diamond in the rough coming out of middle school," McCowan said of his unassuming star. "There wasn't a lot said about him coming out of middle school, but we realized he was a very good scorer and a very good rebounder."
Brown said he plans to redshirt Rhodes his freshman year to give the prospect a chance to season his skills. The move will give the newest Flame a year to hone his skills and acclimate to the speed and quickness of the college game.
"He is a little undersized for his position, but I think with how hard he works he will do fine," said Brown.
"With a year in the weight room we feel like he can be a good player for us. I think the more he develops his perimeter game the higher his ceiling will go. As he develops his ball handling and shooting he has the chance to be really, really good. Where he is at now, he is a great rebounder and has a nose for the ball. We will always have a place for a great rebounder."
Rhodes' performance his senior year was also impressive to McCowan and Brown. McCowan said his attitude and perseverance will serve him well as he transitions to the next level.
"When he came to us we were 10 or 12 deep and it didn't bother him, he just continued working on his game. It is a very similar situation he will be going into at Lee. He will have to prove himself," said McCowan. He didn't do anything extraordinary in our situation, he just was Jarod each and every day. His senior year was one of the best individual performances I have seen in my last five or six years. Seventeen double-doubles in a high school season is pretty impressive."
Rhodes said the wait will not phase how he approaches the game. He plans to work hard and make sure when Brown calls he name, he will be ready to go.
"I will be able to take that time and get faster, bigger and work on my skills. I will do whatever it takes to improve my basketball career at Lee," he said.
"I will take my freshman and sophomore years [as examples of] where I got a lot better. I got a lot of exposure and learned a lot from watching Ish (Sanders) play. I think I will take that with me."

CIG Podcast 006:
Finding a Job You Love
With Barrett Brooks
Listen below or download this episode on iTunes
So many students state their main college goal as "getting a job". Often, that's all there is to it. They just want a job.
But what about finding a job you truly love?
That's the idea I explore in this week's podcast interview with my friend Barrett Brooks. Barrett is the founder of Living For Monday, a blog dedicated to helping people find jobs that matter and live their lives to the fullest potential.
Barrett also created Career Kickstarter, a full online course built to teach students the entire process for finding (and landing) the job they'll love. I've checked out Career Kickstart myself and I love the content Barrett has created there.
In this episode, Barrett tells his story of how he went from having a not-so-good first year in college to completely turning his life around for the better. He talks about how he landed a consulting position with a company that didn't even want to hire grads from his school, and then how he went on to become a full-time entrepreneur. Read More →

Apple fans queued in Asia, Europe and North America Friday for the new iPhone 5, which appeared set to break sales records despite lukewarm reviews and complaints about its mapping system.
The lines of thousands of eager buyers outside Apple stores looked set to make the latest iPhone a huge commercial success for the trend-setting US tech giant. Some analysts say Apple may sell 10 million in just the first days of the launch.
"I've been waiting for eight days, I'm so happy right now," said Keenen Thompson, one of the first among several hundred people outside the Apple store on New York's Fifth Avenue.
The first in line at Montreal's Apple store was Jonathan Moreau, 28, who said he would replace his iPhone 4s "which I don't use for work, but just for me." The new model, he said, "is faster, with a better display, a better camera."
At the Apple store in Bethesda, Maryland, Kirsten Mentzer, a university student who came with her sister and parents to get the new gadget, secured the first spot.
"It's fun to spend time with other Apple friends," she said. "I've always been part of the Apple community. My parents raised me on an old MacBook."
Mike Bishop of Bethesda said he was "really excited" about the new iPhone and had been waiting to replace his broken iPhone 4.
Asked if he would consider another phone, Bishop said: "Once you use an iPhone, you don't go back to any other brand. The main thing is the refinement at every level."
Australians were the first to get their hands on the device.
In Sydney, faithful fans filmed the experience on their iPhones and iPads as staff inside clapped and cheered when doors opened at 8:00 am (2200 GMT Thursday).
Companies looking for publicity took advantage of the media frenzy accompanying the launch, with the first dozen or so in the queue wearing promotional T-shirts or carrying advertising materials.
"Seven of us are here from our company, since midday Tuesday," said Todd Foot, 24, who was first in the line and works for an organization that reviews mobile phones.
The same was true at Apple's store on London's Regent Street, where Richard Wheatcroft and George Horne camped out for a full seven nights to promote their bakery, staffed by victims of domestic violence.
"We decided to buy four iPhones and auction them off. Anything raised will go towards the bakery," Wheatcroft told AFP.
Compared to the iPhone 4S, Apple's new smartphone boasts a bigger screen, stronger battery and faster connection to the latest 4G networks.
It is lighter and slimmer, and its operating system iOS 6 contains tweaks designed to improve the user's experience.
But many analysts say Apple has fallen short as other companies such as Samsung improve rival offerings powered by Google's Android operating system.
"Unless Apple ups its device innovation game, we may be seeing Apple's iOS empire approaching its zenith," said Tony Costa of Forrester Research.
Apple also faced a barrage of criticism after it ditched Google's maps application in favor of its own program riddled with errors. Many users protested that the new maps misplace some landmarks and leave others off altogether.
But enthusiasm among early-bird shoppers was undimmed as stores opened in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, France, Germany, Britain, the United States and Canada.
Ryoho Yamashita, a 23-year-old student, had queued since midnight outside a Softbank store in Tokyo and said there had been a celebratory atmosphere among those waiting.
"It's like a festival that I enjoy every year," he said.
In France, Apple's flagship Paris store was doing roaring business as a threatened strike by workers over a pay dispute failed to materialize, while some fans in the Netherlands were heading across the border to shop in Germany.
London police, meanwhile, were seeking a Pakistani shop assistant over the theft of 252 of the phones from a store in Wimbledon, south of the British capital.
The phone's first rollout is in nine countries, with Apple planning to sell it out in 100 countries by the end of the year.
Apple shares rose to new record highs, gaining 0.8 percent to $704.67, boosting the market cap of the world's most valuable company to nearly $660 billion.
Ben Reitzes, a Barclays analyst who attended the New York launch, said he was "positively surprised regarding the pace of the rollout."
"Given indications for demand, iPhone sales this weekend should far surpass prior sales records, although we acknowledge the risk that supply constraints and stock-outs could cause the record figure to actually be lower than it really should be," he said.

Media organizations want to meet with city officials to talk about their concerns over how police have handled journalists covering the Occupy Wall Street protests.
They say New York City police blocked journalists from seeing when authorities cleared out the Occupy camp in lower Manhattan's Zuccotti Park last week. They also say New York Police Department officers used force and arrested some journalists as they were trying to do their jobs.
The media organizations sent a letter on Monday to chief NYPD spokesman Paul Browne seeking a meeting. Browne says he's "happy" to work together to "iron out" misunderstandings.
The New York Civil Liberties Union has sent a letter to Mayor Michael Bloomberg and police Commissioner Raymond Kelly asking for a meeting. The mayor's office referred comment to the NYPD.

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images? |
1) Too High: Jazzy cautionary tale about drug abuse and its consequences, but subtle enough not to be overtly preachy. It captures the feeling of an addict who exists only to "touch the sky" but never gets there. Outstanding drumming by Stevie (yes, he plays the DRUMS too!!).
2) Visions: Utterly stunning in its beauty. The acoustic guitar work is second to none.
3) Living for the City: The "epic" of the CD describes the tribulations of a man raised in poverty in the South only to find more poverty upon his migration to the city. Yeah, the interlude section is a little cheesy, but still effective and with great vocals as always.
4) Golden Lady: I love how this song keeps going up a key in the end, which signifies the yearning of the singer for his lady. What a great love song.
5) Higher Ground: Once again, outstanding drums and a very funky beat. Like most in my generation, I heard the RHCP cover first (which is a decent interpretation), but it didn't take long to me to realize that this is the definitive verision.
6) Jesus Children of America: Stevie boldly confronts religious fundamentalists, junkies, and even the listener, challenging all to "come clean," all while being backed by insistent gospel harmonies.
7) All is Fair in Love: Laced with agony and pain, Stevie teaches us all about the difficulties of a romantic relationship.
8) Don't You Worry Bout a Thing: A great song about being there to support a friend who is going through a transitional period. Very comforting.
9) Mista Know-It-All: Some think this song is a bash on President Nixon; others interpret it as a stern message against arrogant street hustlers who are looking to corrupt inner-city youth. However you interpret it, it is certainly an effective kiss-off and a creative way to end the album (as opposed to ending it with a sappy love song).
People who have only ever heard "Part Time Lover" may have a hard time accepting Stevie Wonder as a genuine artist, but trust me and the other reviewers, this CD is different. You will not regret buying it.

Business Plan Definition
A business plan, defined as the plan of action for business operations which has the goal of creating and growing sustainable profits, is necessary for any business venture. A business plan has 3 main purposes: forming a strategic plan for future business initiatives, serving as a retrospective measure of the success of the business and it's plans for expansion, and an explanation of the business for the purpose of raising capital. Business plans can vary greatly depending on creator, industry, operations, needs, phase in the
business cycle
, and more. Ultimately, the term business plan is used to describe a myriad of written documents which lay out the plans a business has for the future. Despite this, the goal is the same; creating profits for the shareholders of the venture.
Business Plan Explanation
Business plans are either internally or externally focused. Internally focused business plans serve as a document to "rally the troops"; organize the stakeholders, especially employees, of a business and give an overall strategy to each of their regular tasks and actions. This has particular benefit for organization and motivation around the strategic goals that company leaders want to achieve. An internal business plan is the tool used to communicate these goals in a clear, effective, and calculated manner.
External business plans serve the purpose of raising capital. Banks constantly visit with small businesses desiring a loan to finance a new project. Meanwhile, venture capital firms accept roughly 1 out of 1000 companies that contact them for financing. An external business plan serves as a tool to show that the business concept is developed, evaluated, and planned. Investors and lenders want to eliminate as much risk as possible, and an external business plan provides them a way to measure and mitigate these risks. In short, an external business plan is a way for a developing company to stand out from other businesses while showing that goals and aspirations have been considered and documented.
Business plans begin by following boilerplate sections and explanations. They then become unique documents. Business plans are customized based on a variety of factors. For example, a web marketing firm has little use for the structure of an operations plan which is common to a manufacturing firm. In a similar fashion, a retail e-commerce store will even have a different business plan from a brick-and-mortar retail store. The factors of success, operations, marketing, risk, and measurement dictate this.
A business plan is often referred to as a "living document". This is because a business plan is constantly changing. Whenever new developments in competition, marketing tools, the legal factors which relate to an industry, or others change a business plan must be updated so as to keep relevant. In this way a business plan is constantly evolving. A simple business plan is generally 20 pages, where a complicated one should not exceed 40 pages, on average.
Business Plan Parts
For a business plan, parts are combined to make a whole. These parts, though different for each plan, generally follow common purposes. The standard
business plan format
1) Executive Summary
2) Business Description
3) Products and/or Services
4) Marketing Plan
5) Operations Plan
6) Management and Organizational Structure
7) Benchmarks and Milestones
8) Legal Entity Structure
9) Capitalization
10)Financial Plan and Projections
11) Appendix
Business Plan Example
Alejandro has decided to start a
firm in his native country of Mexico. Combining philanthropy with his
enlightened self-interest
, Alejandro plans to make a profit while also fostering the entrepreneurial spirit in people who face a difficult future. Alejandro is excited to start his company and make his impact on the world.
Alejandro knows that he has to create a business plan for his new venture. Despite this, he is a young adult and is not sure where to begin. Determined, Alejandro starts by searching the internet for the term
how to write a business plan
. He finds some results which begin his thought process. Alejandro picks up a few books from his local bookstore and begins his journey.
Alejandro starts by writing his executive summary. This process is difficult. Alejandro then learns, from research, that it is recommended that the executive summary is written after the rest of the business plan. Alejandro stops this section and begins the business explanation.
After writing a rough draft explanation of his business, he begins the competitive analysis. Here, he does as much research as possible into competitors on the market. Alejandro searches the web and personal contacts for this information.
Alejandro assembles industry statistics and information for his industry analysis section of the business plan. He will need to summarize these into a section which serves his purposes.
Alejandro continues and eventually finishes the plan. With a rough draft in his hand, he seeks some advice for what he has made. Alejandro knows that he has a lot to learn, so he prepares himself for a lot of criticism. He finds his local
chapter and prepares to begin the mentoring process.
Alejandro knows that he has a lot to learn. Still, he realizes that anyone who has achieved greatness started somewhere. Alejandro perpares his plan more, parks his ego at the door, and walks into his meeting with a smile.

Show Off Those Easter Eggs In Our Photo Gallery
That's it, the eggs have it. You've subsequently colored those eggs and are "egg-stremely" proud of your creation. Why not show off your work?
What's your favorite color when it comes to Easter egg dying? Do you go with your basic solid color or fancy those eggs up? And the burning question is ... what do you do with them after they are created?
I always feel a little bad for those poor eggs. They were so pretty and then, you crack open those fragile shells and make a lot of egg salad sandwiches.
Well I'd love for you to show off your eggs and I know there will be a lot of egg dying going on since everyone has off from school today. So feel free to upload your photos.

HOLIDAYS ARE FAMILY TIME — but "family" takes on new meaning for North American ski racers who celebrate the holidays far away from home. Luckily for Lindsey Vonn and her husband Thomas, a family welcomes them with open arms around Christmas. That family just happens to belong to Vonn's best friend, Maria Riesch, with whom she's spent the last five Christmases in Garmisch, Germany.
"We have a great time," Vonn says. "Even if it's not with my own family, they treat me like one of their own. They're always so caring. You don't find other families inviting people into their homes for Christmas. It's a pretty family-oriented holiday, so I'm really thankful that the Riesches have always been so welcoming." The German Christmas also provides Vonn a few cultural lessons, even though they involve sausages and raclette for dinner, which Vonn asserts is "not the best pre-race meal."
"It's different," she says of the Riesch-family Christmas. "There's no stockings and we open all of our presents on Christmas Eve. Their tradition is having only one present per person. So it's not loads and loads of presents; it's just one nice one. I think that's cool. It's nice to experience something different. I think when I start a family and finally have my own Christmases at home I'll do it differently. It's nice to learn a new tradition and learn something that another family and culture does. It's much better than being in a hotel room with just Thomas and me … that would be pretty depressing." For U.S. skiers who don't have European families to spend the holidays with, they become a family of their own. The men's speed team is typically situated in Bormio, Italy, where a makeshift celebration comes together. "In Bormio, we have our own traditions," says Scott Macartney. "We have something as a team family. You do the best you can. It's part of the sacrifice; you miss a traditional Christmas. It's hard but between our coaches and the athletes, we try to have something to celebrate and make a night of it. Last
From top left: Lindsey Vonn and Maria Reisch in Christmas colors during the holiday season last year; Erik Fisher (left) and Marco Sullivan share a laugh in the snow at Lake Louise on Thanksgiving; no turkey with families, but the U.S men's speed team enjoy a Thanksgiving day off in Lake Louise.
year we had it with the Canadians. We have stockings; sometimes we borrow a tree from the town. We have gifts; some are just for laughs. Virgil [U.S. speed coach Chris Brigham] is Santa Claus." Canadian Manuel Osborne-Paradis, who is part of the Bormio Christmas contingent, says his team is as close to him as his family. "We go with the American team to this old mill that they turned into a restaurant and just have a big night out and some drinks and everything," he says. "That's our Christmas. Our team is our family and I'm sure we're as close as we'll ever get to anybody. We all get along. We're all buds. That's the only way to survive when you're in Europe for that long." For others, Europe offers a unique appeal for holiday celebrations. Julia Mancuso is making the most it has to offer, both with visiting family and with a trip to London to hang out with pal Chemmy Alcott. "We're going to go to high tea and see 'Wicked' and it will be fun," Mancuso says. "My dad's coming for Christmas this year and we just try to do the best we can with the holidays. I just like to have fun and try to enjoy Europe." Still, as Kaylin Richardson points out, there's a little homesickness in being away from one's biological family. "That's the only awful part about it," Richardson says. "Being away from your family at the holidays is tough. Your mom, your dad, your siblings … it's just one of those sacrifices. I will say that being with the girls who become your family on the road is great. We get to do the coolest job in the world, so it's not always going to be perfect. But you make little plans with your girlfriends on the tour and you kind of try to do what you can. It's not going to be like it is at home. There's something a little bit novel and fun about being away from home … but there is a little bit of heartache."

Eight female badminton players were disqualified from the Olympics on Wednesday for trying to lose matches the day before, the Badminton World Federation announced after a disciplinary hearing.
The players from China, South Korea and Indonesia were accused of playing to lose so they could face easier opponents in future matches, drawing boos from spectators and warnings from match officials Tuesday night.
All four pairs of players were charged with not doing their best to win a match and abusing or demeaning the sport.
The Indonesian and South Korean pairs appealed the decision, the federation said. But the Chinese sporting authorities accepted the decision and the head badminton coach apologized for the players' behavior.
The charges result from two lackluster contests in London that angered the watching crowds as the doubles pairs appeared to be serving into the net on purpose.
The eight players concerned had all already qualified for the quarterfinals of the tournament before the final matches of the group stage Tuesday night.
British sports fans going into the Olympic Park on Wednesday called the scandal "shocking" after seeing parts of the matches on television.
"It's not in the spirit of the thing," said Kevin Button of Ashford, in Kent, just outside London.
"And it's so disappointing for the people who came to see it," said his wife, Tina. "It leaves a bit of a sour taste."
The disqualifications mean the world's No. 1 pair, Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang of China, are out of the competition.

Chloë Mayer, Senior Reporter
Thursday, August 9, 2012
A Homerton Hospital nursing assistant, who fraudulently raked in more than £400,000 by claiming benefits while holding down two jobs, is facing an "inevitable" jail term.
Fanta Sesay pocketed £20,800 in income support, £121,000 in housing benefit, and £38,700 in tax credits between 2005 and her arrest in April this year, Inner London Crown Court heard yesterday (Wednesday).
But the Sierra Leone national was simultaneously working at the hospital in Homerton Row as well as St Thomas' Hospital in south London and made £233,400 over the same time period.
The 41-year-old admitted handing her employers false names and national insurance numbers to obtain work and earn more than £30,000 a year.
Sesay, of Jenkins Road, Plaistow, pleaded guilty to two counts of dishonestly making false representations to obtain benefits in respect of council tax and housing benefit.
She also admitted to being knowingly concerned with fraudulent activity, obtaining a pecuniary advantage by deception, and fraud by false representation.
She denied theft of medicines from Homerton Hospital, but Judge Roger Chapple ordered the charge to lie on file.
Sesay claimed she carried out the frauds to provide for her children in Sierra Leone.
But Judge Roger Chapple said: "It was not necessary, I would have thought, to do what she did in order to provide for her children.
"I say that because there are numerous examples of people who do not resort to this sort of activity and are able to provide for their children."
He adjourned sentencing until September 4 so that a pre-sentence report could be prepared.
"I regard a custodial sentence, and it is likely to be a substantial custodial sentence, as inevitable," he added.
Just two weeks after Hackney Homes forced a sick epileptic boy out of his home despite doctors' warnings the upheaval could trigger life-threatening fits, he is fighting for his life in hospital.

Conservatives: 'No enthusiasm' for Lazio
- Posted: 1:36 PM, March 20, 2010
"You need a candidate running for governor who can stand up to Andrew Cuomo," Bronx Conservative chairman Bill Newmark told reporters on his way into the Bay Ridge headquarters.
He added that Steve Levy, who he supported, has the "potential" to be a very strong candidate and draw distinctions with Cuomo.
"Republcans only win when they polarize...not by race....but by issues," he said.
"There's no enthusiasm (for Lazio) at all," he added. "Nobody wants to get out to work for him. The state senate will remain gone if Lazio's at the top of the ticket."
He noted that Levy lives in Democratic state Sen. Brian Foley's district, and said having the Suffolk County Executive at the top of the ticket would boost GOP numbers to the point where they could claim that seat.

2011-2012 Report on Giving
"Because of your giving, I have a scholarship that allows me to attend Cornell College and experience a whole different type of world than I have ever lived in before. Cornell is the path that leads to the rest of my life, and I could not be following it without your giving."
Lawrence Dennis '15, Portland, OR
This report is a testament to the generous support from the Cornell family for the 2011-2012 fiscal year. With $10.9 million in gifts, alumni, parents, and friends have allowed Cornell to provide an array of extraordinary opportunities – in the classroom, on campus, and around the world.
Gifts designated to building initiatives, student scholarships, the endowment, as well as unrestricted gifts to the Annual Fund, have a direct impact on each and every student. We are grateful for the 3,778 donors who supported Cornell during the year.
This year, gifts to the Annual Fund exceeded $1.7 million. Cornell's Annual Fund and Parents Fund nourish the core of the college, supporting everything from faculty teaching and campus life to student scholarships and financial assistance.
The first Young Alumni Giving Month Challenge was held in October 2011. Graduates of the last decade (GOLD) enthusiastically responded to a $10,000 matching challenge from an anonymous donor. Throughout the month, young alumni tripled their giving totals and doubled the number of donors over the previous year.
In 2011-2012, the Cornell Fellows program surpassed its 200th Cornell student to benefit from the college's premier opportunity for high-level internships and professional mentoring. This past fiscal year, 16 donors sponsored named Cornell Fellowships in locales ranging from Washington, D.C., to India. With the support of a strong alumni and professional network and from exceptional faculty sponsors, a Cornell Fellowship is a distinctive and highly regarded aspect of a Cornell College education.
In fiscal year 2011-2012, several alumni, parents, and friends left a powerful and lasting legacy at Cornell through estate gifts. The estate gift from James Russell, father of Jean Russell '65, provided over $5 million to the college and was one of the largest gifts in Cornell's history. In addition, a portion of the estate gift from Helen Danforth '40 will provide King Chapel renovations.
With the generous support of alumni, Cornell College purchased and refurbished the Van Etten-Lacey house in 2012 for its newly created Center for the Literary Arts. Just off the Cornell campus, the lovely limestone house was built by Ben Van Etten '26 in 1937 for himself and his wife, Winifred Mayne Van Etten '25, longtime English professor. English professor Stephen Lacey '65 later lived in the home. The Center fosters the cultivation of imaginative writing and communication across disciplines and is supported by the R.P. Dana Emerging Writer Fellow and a faculty director.
Each year gifts range greatly in size, but the collective impact of each and every gift makes a tremendous difference to the educational experience provided on the Hilltop. On behalf of our students, thank you!
