Tablet Games Go To The Cats
By editor
Originally published on Fri March 15, 2013 6:06 am
Touch-screen devices have opened up video gaming to a whole new demographic: cats. Cat-food company Friskies has already made a few tablet games designed specifically for cats to play. One features virtual fish swimming around, taunting kitties to paw at the iPad screen. If you don't believe it, go to YouTube.

While Apple seems to have abandoned its popular little Shuffle – it was largely ignored in the recent iPod refresh save for a few new colours – Samsung clearly think there's plenty of life in the dirt-cheap, screenless MP3 player yet.
Its new YP-S2, AKA 'the pebble', carries on the Korean tech giant's music player traditions of saving pennies on style and usability in favour of sound quality.
Limited storage
The negatives first – the YP-S2 only has 1GB of storage, which is enough for about 250 songs. This certainly isn't an MP3 player to take as your sole source of music on a sabbatical.
There's also like the Shuffle, no display, which may be a deal-breaker for some. Instead, you get a set of very basic play, pause and skip buttons. And Mac-heads need not apply – it's strictly PC only.
Sound saver
Otherwise, there's lots to like. The YP-S2 powers through MP3, WMA or Ogg files with more finesse and a less compressed sound than its Apple rival.
Even its earphones, which sadly include the option to wear the player pendant-style, are bearable, if easily beatable with an upgraded pair like Sennheiser's CX300s.
But considering its price tag is on a par with your weekly shop, the YP-S2 is a steal and one of the best basic MP3 players we've heard.

Bought one of these since shopping around can lead to a good deal. Build is decent and the sound quality respectable. The bundles earphones are surprisingly good. However I do regret buying an mp3 player which is screenless. I think it adds impracticality to things. For a small mp3 player the sandisk clip is a better choice but more prone to crash

Growing Dragon Fruit in Our Backyard
Growing dragon fruit in our backyard has two-fold benefits: firstly, it satisfies one's hobby of gardening and secondly, it provides fruits for healthy body.
Dragon fruit, commonly called "gift of nature", is the latest entrant to the world of super fruits. It possesses numerous health benefits[1]. It is significantly rich in antioxidants called phytoalbumin which prevents the formation of cancer-causing free radicals. The fruit is low in calories and high in fiber which helps to avoid constipation by acting as natural laxative. The fiber enhances digestion and reduces fat to improve the overall digestive health. It also helps excrete heavy metal toxins from the body.
Dragon fruit is filled with vitamin C that ensures faster healing of bruises and cuts and helps improve the general immune system. It contains vitamin B1 which participates in the production of energy and metabolism of carbohydrates, vitamin B2 that works as a multi vitamin to recover and improve appetite and vitamin B3 that lowers bad cholesterol level and enhances the appearance of the skin by moisturizing and smoothing it. It also serves as an alternative for rice for the diabetics and known to control blood glucose levels [2].
Botanically known as Hylocereus undatus, dragon fruit is rich in minerals specially calcium and phosphorus. Calcium reinforces bones and helps in the formation of healthy teeth while phosphorus aids in tissue formation. It has carotenes which assist in maintaining and improving the health of the eyes. Regular consumption of the fruit greatly controls asthma and cough and helps lower cholesterol and high blood pressure.
Many people appreciate the creamy pulp and delicate aroma of this epiphytic cactus. It is prepared by cutting the fruit into halves. It can be eaten raw by either cutting the halves into watermelon-like slices, or scoop out the two fleshy halves with a tablespoon. Few people find its taste offensive, others consider it bland but the flavor is improved when chilled. Its flesh is commonly pink or white containing tiny seeds which are eaten with the flesh and are rich in valuable lipids. It comes in three varieties: the red-skinned with red flesh, the red-skinned with white flesh and the yellow-skinned with white flesh. The red-skinned with red flesh is widely considered to be the best-tasting. However, pseudohaematuria or harmless reddish discoloration of urine and feces result when significant amount is ingested. The fruit roughly looks like a football with leathery leafy skin.
Native to Mexico and Central and South America[3], dragon fruit is also converted into juice or wine or it can be used to flavor other beverages, It is also marketed as ingredient in functional foods, such as power drinks and delicious vegetable dishes, while syrup made of the entire fruit is used to color pastries and candy. It is also used in cosmetics.
Dragon fruit is commonly known in Spanish as "pitaya" or pitahaya". It is successfully grown in the tropical countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Taiwan and the Philippines. It can also be found in Hawaii, China, Australia and Israel. In the country, it is commonly grown in Davao, Cavite, Nueva Ecija, Nueva Viscaya and Bataan among other places. Other vernacular names are "fire dragon fruit" or "dragon pearl fruit" in Chinese, "green dragon" or "thanh long" in Vietnamese and strawberry pear or "nanettikafruit" in Costa Rica[4].
Pitaya cactus is cultivated quite easily either by seeds or stem cuttings. The seeds may be thoroughly separated from the pulp, dried and grown in compost. Germination usually comes 11 to 14 days after shallow planting. Most growers, however, prefer stem cuttings. Four cuttings can be planted in a well-drained soil enriched with animal manure and humus. The cuttings are trained to climb on each side of a concrete post with discarded motorcycle tire mounted on top. The post may be fabricated with a cross-section of about 15 cm and a height of about 1.8 m. As they grow, aerial roots embrace the post while basal roots provide excellent anchorage and vessel of nutrition. Commercial fertilizers can be regularly added to enhance growth and fruiting.
This vining terrestrial cactus-like tree prefers dry tropical or subtropical climates with 50 to 127 cm average rainfall per year[5]. Thriving even in tropical wet areas, heavy rainfall or even excessive water application can trigger the flowers to fall and fruit to rot making fruit production poor. Birds and fruit bats feed on the fruit, while red ants eat the young shoots. Scale insects can be a nuisance by sucking the juice of the stem. The bacterium Xanthomonas campestris causes the stems to rot, while Dothiorella fungi sometimes cause brown spots on the fruit.
Dragon fruit cactus is an amazingly strange plant. Its beautiful and gently fragrant flower of up to 35 cm in length is short-lived and only reveals itself just once. It only blooms in the dark of night and usually wilts by the morning. That is why it is among those called "Moonflower" or "Queen of the Night". It has large, white petals and is shaped like that of a typical cactus. In other places, the flowers are eaten or steeped as tea. Nocturnal creatures such as bats or moths generally help in pollination.
Dragon fruit is potentially a productive crop. Depending on the growing condition, it matures and starts to bear fruit after almost one year. Flowering usually starts on May and ends on December. Fruit is harvested 30-50 days after flowering and can sometimes have 5-6 cycles of harvests per year. Each fruit can weigh from 150-600 grams while other varieties can reach one kilogram. Some growers claim that it has a potential of producing 30 tons of fruit per hectare per year[6].
Legends say that the fruit was created by fire-breathing dragons. It was believed that one is empowered with the same strength and ferocity of a dragon by eating the dragon fruit. Other stories say that the dragon fruit looks like a dragon's egg[7].
Our Creator has been very generous to have given us plants to grow for food–food that would build up and restore health[8], food that can even be produced directly from our backyard.

L'Opéra Restaurant in Paris, France located at the famous L'Opéra Garnier, commonly known as the Paris Opéra, is finally completed after 136 years. The building was originally designed by Charles Garnier in 1875 in Baroque Revival style. Garnier's wish was to create a restaurant in the Rotunda, but his idea never materialized. Two other attempts in 1973 and in 1992 also failed. With a budget of 6 million Euro, restauranteur Pierre François Blanc and architect Odile Decq took on the project, and Charles Garnier's wish was finally granted in 2011.
Because of the building's heritage, Decq could not touch its stone surfaces or block the view of the ornate pendant suspended from the domed ceiling. And to enable the space to revert to its original state, every new element had to be removable at the end of the restaurant's limited term. "The only thing we could change was the floor," says Decq.
Working around these constraints, the architect created a mezzanine consisting of a steel skeleton covered with white plaster molded on-site by one of France's two remaining masons with the traditional know-how. It is like an apparition wafting through the air, its mysterious form continually morphing. The mezzanine dodges or encircles the building's stone pillars, indents to keep the dome's apex visible, and tapers seamlessly down to the 15 unique columns supporting its bulk.
Contrasting sharply with its ghostly exterior, the hull-like mezzanine is startlingly bedecked entirely in red. Though partial to black, Decq agreed to cover the mezzanine's low walls, banquettes, chairs, and carpets with the bright color. "Opera red is darker," explains the architect. "My shade is between orange and red." Spilling down the stairs and pooling on the ground floor below, the carpet connects the two dining areas, stopping just short of the facade.
Tailored to the existing building, this undulating glass veil wends its way around the stone columns and soars to the curved ceiling. Ranging from 26 to 28 feet in height, it consists of two sheets of 0.4-inch-thick laminated glass. For maneuverability during construction, the wall divides vertically into two sections united by a bent steel band 20 feet above the floor. The band is invisibly anchored to the column tops by stainless steel tie rods, but the wall is practically self-supporting because of its wavy profile. "With no visible structure, the glass is held in place as if by magic," says Decq. While silicone joints affix the top of the glass to the ceiling, a second steel band embedded in the floor secures the wall's base.
Replacing the original, exterior-grade brick pavers, Decq used black concrete dotted with small stones. Because of a slight level change between the restaurant's interior and adjacent outdoor terrace, the preservation authorities permitted the substitution. But they accepted only modest adjustments to the ground plane, as the technical spaces in the opera's basement lurk just 5 feet below grade.
Nonetheless, the architect had to excavate to accommodate the 2-inch-thick steel plates supporting the mezzanine's columns. Each column consists of a hollow steel-mesh tube cloaked with plaster. While pockets in the masonry hold LED fixtures that cast light dramatically upward, the conduit contains ventilation shafts and electric cables. "This is exactly what Garnier was doing in the 19th century," explains Decq. "A modern architect in his time, he built the opera from stone but its main structure was steel."
Though the hollow columns can transmit sound to the stage above, ambient music was an important element befitting a restaurant in an opera house. To prevent interference with performances and offset the room's many hard surfaces, a porous, acoustically absorbent plaster coats the mezzanine's low walls and concave underbelly. In addition, carefully placed speakers let restaurant personnel fine-tune sound levels throughout and prevent excessive noise from building up at any location.
L'Opera's Decq-designed upholstered furniture also dampens sound. Circular dining chairs ringed with supportive backs and sides answered the client request for comfortable seating. Decq paired them with trapezoidal tables that can align into a single, snaking surface for buffets or banquets. In the lounge, where patrons gather at intermission, Decq introduced a squiggly continuous bench whose cushioned seat rises and falls along its length, enabling some to sit properly and others to perch. Meanwhile, a long bar made of black wood theatrically wraps itself around one of the building's big square columns.
Decq's interior harmonizes with the building's other voices—its rich history, its dramatic space, and its regal materials. At the same time, by choreographing movement and altering perceptions, it dynamically transforms a staid, centrally organized space into one with a strong contemporary character.

FEW know about keeping it in the family quite like the Noronha sisters of Flinders.
The 17-year-old identical twins have been selected in the Australian Junior Lawn Bowls team for next month's Trans-Tasman Tests. They are eagerly anticipating their first outing in national colours against bitter rivals New Zealand in Auckland from March 17-23, where they will be part of the triples and fours teams.
The sisters took up bowls four years ago at Warilla High School as "something different".
"We have had a go at pretty much everything and love all sport and have played most sports including basketball, soccer, AFL, Oztag and surfing, but bowls was something different again, so we decided to give it a go," Samantha said.
"Eric Johannes from Warilla Bowling Club was the organiser of the school bowls program and has played a huge part in our involvement in bowls, including encouraging us to try out for the Illawarra Academy of Sport.
"This has led to us being selected in representative teams and with the encouragement from many people including Eric and former Warilla Bowls and Recreation Club general manager Neil Bayo, plus our sponsors Taylor, we have been able to make it all the way to Australian colours."
The girls are in year 12 at Warilla High, but have decided to spread their HSC studies over two years under the Pathways Program.
"It takes a lot of pressure off and allows us to take time off for our bowls commitments, while not ignoring our studies," Natalie said.
The girls agree that they want to make bowls their long-term sporting careers. Both are aiming for university after high school to follow their passion for sport. Samantha hopes to get into physical education or sports management and Natalie physical education or sports psychology.
Both girls are committed to long careers in bowls, but realise it is harder for girls to remain involved after juniors.
"We have had lots of encouragement from current Australian player Natasha Van Eldrik, who made the transition from juniors to seniors, while we also know that a former Warilla junior, Karen Murphy, has made a wonderful bowls career," Natalie said.
Former three-time world champion Leif Selby coaches the girls at Warilla, and has no doubt the twins will both succeed at the highest level.
"Both girls have the dedication and determination to succeed and I am sure they will," Selby said.
"I have seldom seen juniors as keen and in fact I believe they will not only shine in New Zealand, but win gold medals on debut."

The Institute for Development Research (IDR) was established on July 1, 1998. It was established with the aim of undertaking cutting-edge research into development issues and problems that confront Nigeria specifically. However, in order to be part of a larger community of researchers, IDR has interest in issues in the West Africa sub-region and in Africa as a whole.
It is also an Institute with interest in global development issues and engages in collaborative research with counterpart institutes and centres in other parts of the world. In this way it would be part of the development debates and discourses taking place globally.

Schwab moves to keep 3,500 desktop-bound RIAs from walking onto somebody else's cloud
Written by Brooke Southall, RIABiz Monday, 25 June 2012
In a bold counterstroke aimed at neutralizing software providers looking to chip away at its giant franchise, Schwab Performance Technologies will offer a way for RIAs to enjoy most of the advantages of a local environment and a hosted, private cloud-based one.
The Raleigh, N.C.-based technology subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corp. is creating a means by which the 3,500 advisors who use Schwab PortfolioCenter — and that includes about half of Schwab's RIAs with $1 billion-plus in assets under management, including Aspiriant — can continue to use the software as it is currently configured but without having to host or maintain it. It'll be called PortfolioCenter Hosted. Read More..
Addepar means to be the only technology platform RIAs will ever need -- and has MIT minds and PayPal money to back it up
Written by Kelly O'Mara, RIABiz Friday, 15 June 2012
Addepar's mission statement, laid out on its website, is relatively straightforward: "We are poised to revolutionize the wealth management industry by creating a new standard for financial technology."
Planning to revolutionize the financial advisor industry is not new. But with 65 employees, extensive backing from venture capitalists such as Peter Thiel and David Blumberg, and demos that have wowed all the advisors who've seen them, Addepar LLC might actually do just that. One high profile believer is Iconiq, the newly formed RIA serving Mark Zuckerberg and other Facebook execs. See: How the Facebook IPO is creating the mother of all RIAs, Iconiq, and what an in-your-face it is for Wall Street.
"It's a cloud solution that has multilevel data on mobile devices and offers on-demand access to anything and everything," says Bill Winterberg, principal of Dallas-based FPPad.com. Read More..
One Tool With Six-Figure Savings Potential
Written by Bill Winterberg, Morningstar Advisor Friday, 15 June 2012
Managing investment portfolios on behalf of clients is a core service offered by nearly all financial advisory businesses. Regardless of whether a passive or active investment philosophy is followed, advisors can spend considerable resources aligning portfolios with their clients' needs and goals. The resources required to manage portfolios can grow considerably as a firm acquires more clients and gathers more assets under management.
Advisors at growing firms want efficient portfolio trading and rebalancing solutions that not only save time and overhead, but also considerably cut down the rate of trading errors that can directly impact the firm's bottom line. One solution that offers the potential for a significant return on investment for advisors is Total Rebalance Expert. Read More..

Lecture Series on Creativity
Big dream last night about being a donor to a lecture series on creativity. They needed 1.5 million dollars to sustain themselves. I gave one million up front. I was in a position to give a lot. It was Foongy with her husband. Her skin had turned darker. She was glad to see me after all the time. I was younger looking than I am now. And I had arrived (to financial stability). Unlike now when I am desparate and climbing. Earlier the dream was about settling in garages. It was the garage at Dexterdale Road.
My mornings have been excellent, especially when I don't stress, but enjoy and create.

On November 14 the Board of Election Commissioners notified people who had applied for the position of Mobile Precinct Assistant (MPA) that it had learned late on the afternoon of November 13 there was unauthorized access to a portion of a web site (file transfer protocol, or FTP, site) maintained by the Board. The FTP site contained some personal information of people who had applied to the Board for the position of Mobile Precinct Assistant (MPA) for the November 6, 2012 General Election. This unauthorized access was committed by and then reported to the Board by a computer forensic specialist firm called Forensicon. Forensicon alerted the Board that it would not publicly disclose or release to the media any information regarding this matter until after the Board closed the FTP site down so that no one could access it while the site's security was checked. The Board immediately shut the site down and took steps to secure the site against any further unauthorized access. The Board also contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation to report the incident.
After the Board's site was shut down, Forensicon issued a release to the media concerning its unauthorized access to the Board's FTP site. Forensicon inaccurately reported that personal information of 1.7 million voters was exposed to public view. No personal information, as defined in the Illinois Personal Information Protection Act ("PIPA"), of registered voters was exposed to public viewing. Any voter registration information that possibly may have been exposed to public view is information that is ordinarily available to the general public under Illinois law. Some .pdf files associated with high school and college student judge of election applicants from 2010 and early 2011 were in the file accessed by Forensicon, which included names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth and last four digits of social security numbers of student judges.
It appears that the only personal information, as defined by PIPA, exposed by the breach were the driver's license numbers of approximately 1,200 applicants for the position of Mobile Precinct Assistant. The file also contained names, addresses, email addresses, cell phone numbers, last four digits of social security numbers and the applicant's answers to the question whether the applicant had ever been convicted of a felony.
The Board has since been notified by the FBI that, after a careful examination of computer logs that tracked access or attempted access to the Board's FTP site, the FBI believes that the only unauthorized intrusion upon and download of data from the Board's FTP web site in the days after the November 6, 2012 General Election was by Forensicon. As noted earlier, as computer forensics firm, Forensicon has a professional and ethical duty not to disseminate any data it may have downloaded from the Board's web. In addition, the president of Forensicon provided to the FBI, at the FBI's request, the originals and all copies of all downloaded Board data. Forensicon has represented to the FBI that it has erased all Board data from its computers and that it will not disseminate any Board data.
In light of the FBI's report, it is unlikely that anyone's personal information has been or will be improperly disseminated or compromised.
The Board recommends, however, that you continue to monitor your credit and credit reports for any suspicious activity and to report such activity to law enforcement.

I had my first weigh in this morning & I was only down 7lbs too & I was 100% all week. I was expecting a little more, altho its my time of month (started today) so I'm hoping that has something to do with it.
Still tho - half a stone!
& well done you too neeni! I'm delighted I got through the weekend too - lots of nights out & food tempations - we can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm looking forward to seeing how we get on next week :-)
Well done! That's great...you are heading in the right direction.
To answer the whole 'time of the month' thing....I found when I did Lipotrim a few years ago that when I was due on or on mine, it definitely affected my loss i.e. a lot less weight lost around this time. What with you retaining fluid around then you'll often see a difference the week after you have had your TOTM. But half a stone is still fab! Keep it going!
7lbs in a week - that's brilliant. Hope I manage that. Just finished day two, have stayed 100% and feeling no pain! Hope it continues.
Wk1: - 5.2lbs

Get into sz 12s
GOAL 147lbs = 5 st 9 lbs lost
Wow my pharmacist rang me a couple of hours ago to say I'd lost 9lbs, not 7lbs! How dozy am I? I'd added my weights up incorrectly (when I got weighed this morning the pharmacist wasn't there so someone else scribbled down my weight & said the pharmacist would contact me later in the day) so I was originally 2lbs heavier than I thought - so I'm no better off but still!
Great to know re TOM too - I was unsure if I'd still retain weight on LT. Hopefully it'll get easier in the next couple of days when TOM calms down - I'm finding energy levels/hunger a bit tough with the monthly.
Here's to next Tuesday's weigh in! We can do it!!!
Thanks Neeni, I'm delighted. How silly was I tho - I was actually 2lbs heavier when I began this whole thing. Can't wait to see how we go next week - we'll be slim lovelies before we know it :-D

It's been a while since the last entry. Since that time the focus has been on managing 500+ circuits when four critical resources are lost and recovered. Those four resources are: signal gateway (ss7boxd), media gateway (sangoma_mgd), SS7 route, and bearer channel spans (E1 or T1).
Initial designs were found to be flawed when taken to high capacity test and some field trials. Two revisions followed and now the basic design is settled. The system, called Circuit Maintenance Manager (CMM) is now undergoing high capacity test and field trials. It currently supports loss/recovery of signal gateway, media gateway, and SS7 routes. The bearer channel span management function is ready for development now that underlying support is available from the Sangoma device driver as of this past week.
The CDR Logger is under going a change. The points in ss7boost where information is injected to the logger has been reduced and is now coupled tightly to the ss7boost message input/output functions and timer function. This change ensures no loss of info to the logger. The call serial number field is no longer provided because it did not make sense in some situations. Log entries are correlated into circuit event using the call setup id , span/chan and timestamps for outbound calls, and span/chan/timestamps for inbound calls. The reason for the change is that CDR Logger began as a tool for creating call records only but has also been valuable as a protocol analyser. The older logger missed some messages events which were not important to creating CDRs but were important for protocol analysis. The new logger improves the analyser function while retaining the call record creation function.
Another activity this summer has been load testing with 16 E1 loaded fully with 30 second calls. A number of bugs were found and fixed and the overall quality has improved noticeably.
There are now two release versions of SMG: stable and beta. This is more work but the time has come to provide options for SMG users. Stable releases will only receive small fixes and now new features. Beta releases will contain all fixes and new features. Stable releases that are closed will be reproducible. This marks a significant change from the past when development was much faster and installations were smaller and more change tolerant. As SMG has become more stable, users have indicated the SMG must change in a more controlled manner.
SMG ANSI installations are growing and bring new challenges. The circuit continuity test appears to be used more often in these locations. The procedure is slightly different from the ITU method. The final stage of COT reception functionality for four-wire circuits is being completed to comply with requirements from a major western USA service provider.
The third quarter 2008 will see initial development, testing, and field trials of the long awaited clustering function where asterisk boxes are clustered around an SMG box (already available) and SMG boxes are clustered around an ss7box box. Following cluster development will be the re-introduction of ss7box redundancy.
Other features in the works are expanded conformance testing and expanded ISUP parameter decoding. In particular are the calling party category and the generic number parameters. Asterisk does not have a convenient container for the many ISUP parameters so SMG is sneaking the information in and out of Asterisk using a char long string.

Tigers Complete Impressive Showings at Sea Ray
April 12, 2008 The University of Memphis men's and women's track and field teams competed at both the Sea Ray Relays and the Ole' Miss Classic this afternoon. Susan King highlighted the weekend as she was the Tiger with the most success posting two school records. King finished where she left off from yesterday, as she recorded a mark of 17.53 meters (57-06.25) to place second in the shot put and record yet another school record and NCAA regional qualifying mark. Steffen Nerdal took fourth in the hammer with a mark of 66.67 meters (218-09) and Seth Major placed sixth in the shot put with a mark of 16.42 meters (53-10.50). The majority of the Memphis men's and women's track and field teams competed at the Ole' Miss Classic in Oxford, Miss. Deneen Kirk raced to a tenth place finish in the 200 meters crossing the line in 24.76, for her fastest time of the season. Jessica Wright took third in the 400 meters with a time of 55.17, which was also a personal-best for the sprinter. In the 800 meters, Tina Sherratt ran a season-best time of 2:16.34 to place sixth. Charlotte Abrahamsen just missed making the 100 meter finals as she ran a 14.56, .02 off the last qualifying time. Abrahamsen and Chen Edri both had a final jump of 5-07.00 (1.70) in the high jump. Abrahamsen later took sixth in the long, with a distance of 5.50 meters (18-00.50). Wright had a leap of 5.63 meters (18-05.75), placing fourth. Tigers return to action next weekend at the John McDonnell Invite in Fayetteville, Ark. The women's 4x100 meter relay team of Gaylon Muhammad, LaShundra Kershaw, Kirk and Wright posted a time of 47.07, in their first showing of the outdoor season. Preston Williams took eighth in the men's 110-meter hurdles, as he crossed the line in 15.12. Richard Lowe clocked a time of 54.11 in the 400 meter hurdles to take sixth. In the 3000 meter steeple, distance runner Wesley Garrett grabbed fourth place, finishing the race in 9:55.72. Leaping to new heights in the pole vaule was Brian Prackett, as he soared to a height of 14-07.25 (4.45) to place second. Also taking down a second place nod was freshman jumper Aaron Whetstone in the triple as he recorded a final mark of 14.66 meters (48-01.25). Back-to-back finishes in the men's shot put were Glen Edwards and Knut Syversen as they went 2-3, with marks of 16.49 (54-01.25) and 16.47 (54-00.50). Syversen also took down fourth in the discus and the hammer.

CES always hosts its share of jaw dropping prototype TVs that will take years and years to make it to market, but overall the direction of consumer TV development is easy to follow. In 2009, LED edgelighting started to appear. In 2010, 3D ruled the show. In 2011, TV apps started moving into full-on "smart TV" territory. And in 2012, LG's continuing on with those same priorities, pushing smart TV functionality alongside a growing range of 3D TVs and a very fancy OLED that fits into that jaw dropping, not-for-the-average-consumer category.
LG's press conference covered the usual sales statistics for its TV business in 2012, then looked ahead to what's coming this year. Smart TV and 3D are leaving the way, but there were still a couple surprises: namely limited support for Google TV (it's not dead yet!) and a heavy focus on passive 3D technology.
LG's 84-inch LCD TV boasts an "Ultra Definition" display that packs in 8 million pixels with a 3840x2160 resolution.
LG drove home the point that passive technology has a real place in the 3D market, despite the industry's early reliance on active shutter glasses. The company reported that passive 3D now represents 30 percent of the market, and LG owns 20 percent of that figure. They passed Sony and are gunning for Samsung's market lead. The company's also working on glasses-free 3D technology using head tracking, but on the TV front it's all about cheap, light passive glasses.
Over half of LG's 2012 TV models will be 3D capable or smart TVs; those models are separate from a special Google TV display. The company's Cinema 3D Smart TVs range from 55 inches to an insane 84 inches. That 84-inch model boasts an "Ultra Definition" display that packs in 8 million pixels with a 3840x2160 resolution.
The company is using more LED backlighting in its display this year, which helps it slim down the builds; the 84-inch UHD, for example, measures only 28mm and has a 1mm thick bezel around the screen. LG also had a 3D-capable 55-inch OLED display to show off--we'll probably see a very similar competing display from Samsung at this year's CES as well--and that display measured a scant 4mm thick. The OLED weighed 7.5kg, or about 16.5 pounds.
Sharp's 55-inch OLED will actually be available to consumers later this year, but at a steep, steep price closer to $10,000 than $1,000. When it comes to TVs us normal folks can afford in 2012, most of LG's advancements are coming on the smart TV front.
The company's premium TVs are driven by a dual-core ARM CPU/quad-core GPU platform (dubbed the L9), and LG's working in a host of new features to make this year's smart TVs better than 2011's. Look for some kind of 3D gesture support (think Kinect for your TV interface), better scrolling and menu navigation and voice recognition, Wi-Fi screen mirroring and WiDi support.

Case studies
Project: Cendor Field Development
Partners: Petronas Carigali, Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company (KUFPEC) and PetroVietnam
Scope: Field development and operations, including concept derivation and selection, subsurface engineering, facilities engineering, drilling, project execution and operations management
Project summary
Start date
End date
As the Operator of Block PM304, Petrofac employed its development expertise to bring the Cendor field on stream in record time and below budget. From a standing start Petrofac submitted the field development plan (FDP) in five months, a record for Malaysia. First oil was achieved on 23 September 2006, just 16 months from sanction.
The Cendor field
The Cendor field was discovered in the 1970s in Block PM304, offshore Peninsular Malaysia. Cendor, having previously been drilled with proven reserves, was classed as marginal due to its complex geological structure and remained undeveloped for 30 years.
Cendor presented a number of geological challenges. The structure has highly stratified formations that are compartmentalised, with different and uncertain production characteristics. Innovative subsurface techniques, particularly on the geophysical side, were applied by Petrofac's subsurface professionals to achieve a better understanding of the reservoir characteristics.
A flexible approach
Petrofac recognised that the key to development resided in achieving maximum operational flexibility to deal with as many potential reservoir outcomes as possible with the lowest possible cash commitment. A phased approach was therefore adopted to develop the field, with wells brought into production selectively to allow for reservoir testing.
At the heart of the development is the Cendor Producer, a Mobile Offshore Production Unit (MOPU). The unit is leased and provides a flexible and low-cost solution. It is highly adaptable, possessing a deck area sufficient for two first-stage separators as well as a production test unit. The unit also has the capacity to inject up to 25,000 barrels per day of seawater into the reservoir. Oil is pumped to a floating storage offloading (FSO) vessel located 800 metres away via a low-cost flexible composite submarine pipeline.
The development illustrates the effectiveness of Petrofac's partnership approach. By aligning itself with its customers through investment, Petrofac has committed its full range of capabilities, including engineering and construction and operations management, to devise a safe, optimal solution to a challenging asset.
Since first oil was achieved, the Cendor field has produced in excess of 27 million barrels of premium crude. Furthermore, the MOPU asset continues to record world-class uptime as it has done in previous years.
During this early production phase and through appraisal drilling, Petrofac and its partners were able to assess the full extent of the reserves in the Cendor fault block, as well as other reservoirs on Block PM304; resulting in the sanction, in November 2010, of the Cendor phase two facilities, and in February 2012, the West Desaru development.
Cendor Phase Two development
The second phase of development of the Cendor field will involve a larger permanent facility to fully develop the Cendor fault block, comprising two fixed wellhead structures tied back to a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel.
West Desaru development
The third phase of development of the Block PM304 production sharing contract (PSC) will introduce an early production system to accelerate the development using an upgraded MOPU, which will export stabilised crude oil through the existing FSO, and ultimately through the phase two FPSO when it is brought into service.

The feet of the devout
Erasmus, the religion blog for The Economist, looks at the religious practices around shoes and feet among the Abrahamic faiths:
"…at the moment of his encounter with God, Moses was ordered to take off his shoes because he was treading on sacred ground…The fathers of the early Christian church were intrigued by the instruction to Moses. They thought shoes reflected decay and mortality, because they were made from the skin of dead animals, while God was calling Moses to a richer form of life."
The article brought to mind the symbolism and practices related to feet in the Sikh faith.For Sikhs, it is religious practice that shoes are not to be worn in the presence of the Guru as a sign of humility; to do otherwise is considered sacrilegious. Thus, in every Gurdwara, worshipers remove their shoes before entering the main space of worship, the diwan hall, in which the Guru Granth Sahib — the Sikh scriptures and recognized Guru of the Sikhs for the past three hundred years — is situated. This is also the practice in the langar hall — the community kitchen attached to every Gurdwara — in which all sit, eat and serve together as an expression of equality and service. Often, as another expression of humility and service, members of the congregation will take it upon themselves to wipe the dirt from the stored shoes of worshipers who are inside the diwan hall.
Congregants will either remove both shoes and socks, or just the shoes. My own tendency has been to leave on my socks when entering the diwan hall. However, for some unknown reason I was compelled to remove my socks and enter barefoot during my last visit. Walking into the diwan hall and experiencing the sensations of the floor directly on the bottoms of my feet, I felt increasingly unmasked (for lack of a better term) and connected to the sanctity of the worship space. I also felt that I was in a more informal, natural, and relaxed state with which to imbibe the teachings from the Guru Granth Sahib as they were being sung by the congregation. Perhaps I am over-attributing the effect of being barefoot in the Gurdwara, but I think this is how I will enter the Gurdwara from now on.
The foot as a metaphor finds significant mention in the Guru Granth Sahib. To account for all references to feet would be a lengthy task, however shabads (hymns) in the Guru Granth Sahib (as composed by the Sikh Gurus and other Hindu and Muslim saints) often make reference to the feet of saints or of the Guru, usually as the point of attachment: it is symbolic of humility that a follower attaches to God or Guru by way of the foot.
Colourful picture, fascinating ideas!

Can't believe another year has come and gone already! 2011 definitely moved fast as Sprogdaddy and I got into the swing of parenting. This time last year, Sprogzilla was just starting solids and got to try some tasty roast vegetable sticks.
I've already posted Christmas dinner comparison shots in an earlier post, so here's a selection of photos showing Sprogzilla enjoying a variety of foods between 5-8 months of age. Banana is still his favourite to this day and he regularly enjoys breastmilk as well. Baby-led weaning worked very well for all of us!
Also happening this time last year:
Sprogzilla was starting to roll from front to back regularly and was even attempting to push off and crawl with his knees. Sleep was still in turmoil, with night sessions never longer than three and a half hours at a time. We co-slept a lot then. He was also diagnosed with infantile eczema, though we've been successfully managing it with a very natural cream.

As I watched Don Jon's Addiction at Sundance, I knew that news of this sort would be coming down the pipeline sooner or later. Totally called it.* The film, Joseph Gordon-Levitt's first feature, stars him as a lothario whose eponymous addiction is pornography. The movie was a big hit at the festival, and it quickly got scooped up for distribution by Relativity Media.
Which is where Gordon-Levitt had to think about making sure that the movie, which deals pretty explicitly with sex, would get a R rating, rather than a box office death sentence NC-17. | Full Story

Despite having to cancel Stride 4 Life on 8th July 2012, due to bad weather, we still managed to have a successful year. We re-scheduled the event to 16th September and our thanks goes to all those who helped to achieve this. To our 100 volunteers who gave up their Sunday and worked so hard to make Stride 4 Life a success this year.
We would like to say a big thank you to all of those who entered our sponsored walks this year. This year we have had events throughout the year which have helped us to achieve a total raised of £27,108 which is the most Stride has raised in any one year.
We have held 2 Pamper Evenings which were so successful that we are running another one on 3rd May 2013.
Thanks to two ladies who run in the Brighton Marathon in Memory of a Stride 4 Life Committee member Carole Usher who died last year. They raised £1166.58
We thank Tracey Wilkinson who during the year raised £518.20 by running various events including an Easter Raffle.
If you feel that you would like to run an event on behalf of Stride 4 Life please contact Joan Warwick on 01322 428392
