"None of my visitors will be using mobile devices."
I might be taking on a client who said (essentially) this.
I'm wondering if there are any "consumer-friendly" sites that might help to open his mind a little. Think: infographic. I'll be trying to convince him not to use hover effects and other stuff that might be unfriendly to mobile visitors. Anyone know of a good resource?

Of course, if he designs his site so that it doesn't work properly on mobiles then he might find that's a self-fulfilling prophecy ... but that isn't a route that I would go down!
Increasing numbers of people are using smartphones as a primary point of access to the internet. They're now moving beyond the stage where they just use it to check email, Facebook, weather forecasts and train times while they're on the move, and now consider it to be equal to a PC. In developing countries, it can be even bigger than that, where a much higher proportion of people may have an internet capable mobile phone than a PC with reliable internet access.
For example, I know that 17% of visitors to my website are using mobile phones not counting iPhones and other iOS devices (for some reason AWStats won't separate iMobile from iDesktop in either OS or browser ), which I estimate could account for the same again. So probably about a third of visitors are using mobiles. Who wants to exclude a third of their potential customers?
And the situation is only going to swing further towards mobiles and tablets (which will suffer similar problems as to :hover) as time goes by:
- Mobile internet users to surpass number of wireless users by 2015 (US)
- 69% of people access the mobile internet daily (US, but with stats for other countries)

While I agree that mobile is huge, I'm sure there's a lot of web applications that don't make sense on mobile.
The use cases are different, you're not going to be doing a lot of data entry or processing on mobile.
All websites that pushing content out should definitely work on mobile though.--

While it's important to try and educate customers on the current state of play of mobile web use, it's also presumptuous and unprofessional to dismiss client feedback about their customer base demographics - do you know their business better than them?
I'd dig deeper about the client's reasoning on why they feel they'd have no mobile users before making contradictory recommendations. There are undoubtably use cases where mobile use percentage would be inconsequential, and hence ROI poor. Base a proposed solution on pragmatic business needs and justified analysis rather than fashion.

It's official - Sutton is a nice place to live
Updated 11:47am Monday 3rd February 2014 in News By Mike Murphy-Pyle, Chief Reporter
Nine out of 10 people in Sutton say it is a good place to live.
The figure makes Sutton one of the most popular boroughs in London with 91 per cent of people saying they enjoy living here compared to an outer London average of 79 per cent and an inner-city average of 89 per cent.
The statistics, published by pollsters Ipsos MORI show the main thing people in Sutton like is the low crime rate although people also feel people from different backgrounds get on well in the borough.
Councillor Ruth Dombey, leader of Sutton Council, said: "These results show that our policy of putting the views of our residents first is working and the vast majority of Sutton residents are happy with their local area.
"Against the backdrop of a challenging economic climate and unprecedented cuts to local authority budgets Sutton remains resilient and not only has satisfaction remained steady, but also it is higher than rates seen in other parts of London."
The main area of dissatisfaction for people living in the borough is the state of the roads. The condition of the borough's highways is a concern for 43 per cent of those who took the survey.
Coun Dombey added: "We cannot be complacent. We know that there are more thanks we need to do to continue increasing local satisfaction.
"More needs to be done to improve the condition of some of our roads, and we have already begun to tackle this issue.
"As public finances tighten even further we will continue to work with residents to prioritise their concerns and agree with them how we work together to ensure Sutton continues to be a great place to live."

Indeed, a lot of people living in Sutton now have come from inner London and other dumps. They are always going to say Sutton is a nice place to live because compared to say Mitcham or Tooting or the Eastern block or Asia or Africa, it is. Of course, people have always moved to Sutton from London and years ago, when Sutton was in suburbia, it was relatively quiet and a nice place to bring up a family etc. Many of those that came in the 60s, 70s and 80s have long since gone as Sutton has become a lot busier and cosmopolitan. It's called white flight and the very fact that it happened and is still happening, just highlights that all is not well in this liberal utopia. If you can actually remember how nice and pretty Sutton was in the past and a look at the old pictures of the town and its green spaces confirm this, then you would know that Sutton today is a poor shadow of its former self.

These two love this game!!
I, however, prefer, to look on the bright side of life.
Sutton has great theatres, libraries, bookshops (Waterstones et al), restaurants, the most environmentally friendly housing in the world (Bedzed). Its parks are second to none - that's why Nonsuch is so named.

Trust Michael Pantlin and GreenBrown to be in 9% rather than the 91%. Eric Berne's excellent book "The Games People Play" springs to mind here. One of the games is called "Ain't it Awful".

Since the late 80s Sutton's fate has owed as much to national govt and world economic conditions as to local govt. But I don't share the jaundiced view of the lib dems of some. Since around 2000, Sutton has been improving. It weathered the 2009- 2013 downturn pretty well, and looks set for further improvement over the next few years.
Its all cosmetic Tony....

I'm not so sure about that. I'm not sure it's the marvel you think it is or you have been told it is and ultimately it was built on Metropolitan Green Belt land. Hardly eco-friendly. I heard the wood chip burners don't work and never have or so i've been told. I don't know if it's true, but if it is then that must have had an effect on the overall scheme.
If you really think Sutton has improved since 2000 then you must want and expect different things from life than me. How will the likes of you cope when things eventually change in this country, as they will soon enough.

The more.people that come into the Borough from outside of the UK, the better place Sutton becomes. Culturally richer, more diverse, more interesting, and ultimately, more attractive. A melting pot of influences.
No-wants a monoculture.
As to property prices, if you think prices are high here, check out the crazy prices in the likes of Merton and Wandsworth - to name but two. But I sympathise with those who can't join the property ladder, a national problem exacerbated by planning law inadequacies.

GreenBrown says...
See this is where people like you just don't make sense. You celebrate mass immigration, but concede that there is a housing problem. One of the main reasons that property prices have soared is that there is a shortage of them. This has been a problem for many years. Successive governments have done little to address the situation. With that in mind, surely you can see that it wasn't wise to allow 4 million + extra people to flock to the UK over the last 15 years. We didn't and don't have enough housing and now we need to find it for 4 million more people. This is madness and mismanagement on a grand scale. Some say that the answer is to build millions more houses to keep up with demand, but I think i'd prefer to shrink our population and save our green fields. If we build more houses they will just fill up and more will be needed and on and on it will go. Look at the new towns like Milton Keynes and Stevenage, they are full up and expanding still. This problem will be never ending unless measures are put in place to stop the population increasing and ruining further, the bits of this country that are still worth saving. You idiots, with your neo-liberal ideals are so busy destroying the very country that grew you and allowed you think how you want to think, that you can't see where it's all heading and to what end.

Blaming the pressures on housing on the local immigrant population is classic scapegoating, and the result of divide-and-rule propaganda from vested interests, (and the far-right), being swallowed whole by a gullible section of the populace, who then poison the public debate.
The housing shortage is due to a new era of cheap borrowing, allied with a financial system that has encouraged a Buy-to-let boom and foreign capital treating the London property market as an investment tool, rather than homes for people to live in.

I just made the point that we have a housing crisis and that allowing more people into the country just puts further pressure on already inadequate resources. Maybe you should actually read what is written instead of seeing the word 'immigrant' and knee jerking your reactions. I agree with your last sentence, but the point I made before still stands......

""surely you can see that it wasn't wise to allow 4 million + extra people to flock to the UK over the last 15 years. We didn't and don't have enough housing and now we need to find it for 4 million more people.""
of course, why give an answer when you can just accuse someone of being right-wing and gullible and hope it closes the argument down. I don't like mass immigration, but that is irrelevant to what i'm saying. This is simple mathematics and logic. If you don't have enough of something, you don't solve that problem by creating more demand. Not only have they brainwashed you lot, they've taken away your ability to think rationally.
As for 'divide-and-rule propaganda from vested interests', what on earth do you think the BBC and The Guardian do every single day. They reinforce the lefty, liberal agenda that has brainwashed so many people in this country over the last few decades. Far-right is basically Nationalism, no bad thing. They don't mind calling on a bit of nationalism when it suits, like when they want to go fight a war etc. Any other time it's considered a bad thing because nationalism gets in the way of global business. You want to see a bit of divide and rule just look at what they've achieved in this country. The far-right hasn't been in power, but we've never been so divided. Our 'normal' governments have destroyed the sense of community that once existed, decimated our manufacturing industries, so all we've got now is mind numbing services jobs. High unemployment, a failing NHS, a failing education system etc etc. Most people don't have anything to believe in. Record numbers of people and children are on anti-depressants. High crime rates, massive alcohol and drug abuse. We have become a nation ripe for things like European takeover and mass immigration. Whole towns are now essentially occupied by foreigners and we just except it. Our laws are made or under-minded in a foreign court and we just except it. Our forefathers would be appalled at what is going on in this country today. They wouldn't have excepted any of this which is why they had to change our society and they succeeded, or at least when it comes to people like you.

In late September, thanks to the help of the Clemson experts at Shakin The Southland, we published Why won't Clemson pursue JUCO recruits to fix defense? The story received a lot of recognition, and Monday, Clemson's beat writers asked Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney about the issue.
Needless to say, Swinney is frustrated. These quotes come from Travis Sawchik of The Post and Courier:
"It is a problem for us," Swinney said. "It's not that Clemson is saying you can't come here, it's that you have to meet degree percentage rules and you have to be able to transfer enough hours that will count toward a degree. The problem we've had is having a degree program that they can fit into and become eligible. Guys will be ineligible here and eligible elsewhere. We have very few places where we can count a bunch of electives."
"I'm more of a build through the draft kind of guy," Swinney said. "I'd never want to be one of these guys that (relies on JUCOs) and we don't have to at Clemson. … But it's an issue."
Sawchik's article hits on many of the issues discussed in our original, including the problem created by having to compete against the likes of Florida State and South Carolina, both of which pursue players from junior colleges to fill their needs.

Mobile chemotherapy unit launched
Dealing with cancer is traumatic enough - but there's also the upheaval and disruption trying to juggle medical treatment with trying to get on with all the normal things in normal life.
But now a new mobile chemotherapy unit will help more than 6000 cancer patients get their treatment closer to home.
And the unit, run by The Christie, will be stationed in supermarkets across Greater Manchester.
Patients say it will allow them to continue their normal lives during the treatment, and speed up their recovery.
Our correspondent Elaine Willcox has been to the launch.

The latest and greatest in travel from travelgirl magazine. The thought of KISS front man Gene Simmons unraveling his famous tongue may not evoke thoughts of a fragrant bouquet, but that hasn't stopped the rock legend from unveiling the band's latest love child: KISS fragrance. Launched at some 2,000 department store counters this past fall, the fragrance line is not for the faint of heart. It's infused with a bold blend of cumin, white pepper, cypress, moss, and honeyed amber (pour hommes) and wild red poppy, wet fig leaves, and vintage mahogany (pour femmes). Sidebar products including Lovin' Body Lotion, Rockin' Bath Splash, and Party Shower Gel even contain an extra dose of pheromones - said to increase sexual libido - for those who really want to live like a rock star. While other bands from the KISS generation have all but faded into oblivion, these iconic rockers have managed to reinvent and market themselves. They've even christened a new coffee shop - KISS Coffeehouse - in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; promising patrons a "rock and roll all night" experience after a few shots of espresso. KISS fragrance consumers will choose from four bottle caps, each with a different band member's likeness.

Am I the only one that loves the push/pull zoom?
I can't get all the way to "love," but I have come to like it -- and it's clearly faster, especially as you suggest going from one end to the other.
Am I the only one that loves the push/pull zoom?
No, not the 100-400 as a kit, but a new lens otherwise.Well, they just updated the 18-55 and 18-135 lenses within the last year; maybe they'll do the 18-200 too, who knows. And they already have a good 17-55 and 15-85, not to mention a 24-105 that works well on crop. Not sure what kit lens they could put out that they don't already offer.
How about a new 400 5.6L IS ?
How about a new 400 5.6L IS ?
smaller, lighter, sharper !
That would be very welcome, but a hard decision. One of the great things about the 100-400L is that you get a 400mm lens that collapses down to the size of a 70-200/2.8. The 400/5.6 is more of a challenge to pack/transport.
Am I the only one that loves the push/pull zoom?
I find it great for football (american, but both would probably apply; as well as any other large field games, rugby, polo, baseball, etc.), you can see nearly the whole field at 100mm to scan for interesting action, and almost instantly be at 400mm to get in to the action. If you're constantly going from one end of the range to the other, it's much faster with the push/pull.
The push/pull was much less useful, but in no way a hindrance, for things where I was staying at the same focal length for long periods of time; like when I shot a "Dirty Girl" mud run.
Would I want all zooms to be like that? Absolutely not! But I do think the 100-400 and it's common uses lend themselves to the more expedient, brute force method, that the push/pull provides.
I'm sure an upgrade on this lens will be a big seller, but for someone who has a 400 5.6 prime, I'm not excited.
Canon are missing a proper upgrade path from the already existing 400 f5.6s. A £4500 400mm F4 prime with 4 stop IS, lighter than 300 2.8 as a replacement for the DO would fill that gap nicely, and be a excellent match to the new 7D if it turns out to be a mini IDX. I could get excited about that.
100-400 F4 without 1.4 extender, Would be a good alternative to the 200-400 maybe half the cost? Either way I'm sure the 100-400 and 7d currently put are great and can make great photos, I just want something new for once since I've usually only bought used. Go savings account!!
I'll get excited about this lens when it is available for purchase - until then I'm burnt out on annoucements, pre-annoucements, etc with no definitive delivery dates. It reminds me of google and their perpetual beta software. I'm sure this lens will amaze when available.

TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) - Android phones have become the latest target of high tech thieves.
People are downloading apps thinking they are harmless, but are turning out to be viruses.
The trojan hides in a third-party app that android owners download outside the approved channels such as the android marketplace.
If the android gets infected, it can end up sending private information out to the scammers and can take control of your internet.
The trojan virus is especially being reported over in Asia.
All android users should be wary of installing apps outside the android marketplace or other officially approved stores.
People can protect themselves by allowing the android phone settings to disable installation of apps from "unknown sources."

- Amazing steaksOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/2014Amazing food , the stakes were amazing and service was exceptional !Special Features:
- Usual Awesome Steak!CandymanDined on 8/25/2014Had been to Bob's on Lemmon Ave several times in the past so when manager was coming to town, I knew Bob's was the place. Had a wonderful wine (Malbec) as well as fabulous steak. Service was good and my boss was pleased. A very successful evening!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrific foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014Bob's is our favorite steakhouse in Dallas. We love the low key but very nice atmosphere, plus it is quiet enough that you can have a conversation, which is not true at some other well known spots. Without question, the best part is the food. The steaks are always perfectly prepared and include potatoes. Side dishes are extra but very good. The salads are generous, but they will prepare a half salad which is plenty for one person. After trying most of the others, we always come back to Bob's.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PricelessOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/23/2014Everything was a perfect 10! The people, the food, the ambiance all blended together proved to be a great choice to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Way to go Bob's!Special Features:
- Consistently a great steak houseDallasSunVIPDined on 8/22/2014Bob's is a great steakhouse with a nice energy. For a birthday, anniversary, or just a night out, it's a solid choice.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 8/20/2014The veal chop was outstanding ... perfectly seasoned and cooked. Noise level was rather loud, though. We had a group at the next table that was quite raucous that made conversation challenging. Other than that, a perfect meal and we will return. Service was terrific.
- Great EveningChopsVIPDined on 8/16/2014Had the Bacon Shrimp, outstanding, Chopped salad, good, The RibEye was excellent, tasty, tender, all around Great. The overall evening was fantastic as the Food is consistently good
- Great but we felt rushed.CasstxDined on 8/13/2014Everything was excellent again however we were not overly impressed that the main course arrived before we'd finished the appetizer. Although we were dining late, when I'm paying $65 for a steak, I don't expect to be rushed and have it sitting on the table going cold while I finish my appetiser. Other than that, everything was great.Special Features:
- DinnerhankwardenVIPDined on 7/30/2014We love Bob's. Been going there a long time. It's one of my favorites.Special Features:
- Excellent ChoiceRCRMDined on 7/26/2014Great restaurant - we came across this restaurant as we were planning a trip to Dallas and after reading other reviews, decided to give it a try. We are so glad that we did - amazing steaks and the service was just impeccable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good foodPeterlugerloverDined on 7/24/2014Steak was great but wasn't overly impressed with side dishes. Appetizers delicious thoughSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing!sakgweaDined on 7/23/2014From the staff to the food everything was amazing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RandiLincolnrandilincolnDined on 7/21/2014JUST GO HERE! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! With 19 in our party...semi private room...absolutely incredible reviews from attendees about food with many thanks for taking them to Bob's Chop House...THIS PLACE ROCKS! From the early set up to the fabulous food...all sending pics to friends...JUST AMAZING SERVICE...thanks to GRETA and the staff! ONLY DRAWBACK: very dimly lit room for awards program dinner. Needed to have lights up for recognition-which apparently was not possible because it raised the house lights in the entire restaurant. They raised them a bit for us...but just sayin'.... FOOD: Freaking AMAZING! Not even 1 complaint in 19 dinners. That is awesome!Special Features:
- AnniversarySuzieDined on 7/21/2014We love going to Bob's! Great food and great service!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food was perfectOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/19/2014My wife and I split the 12 oz filet and a salad (caprese) along with cream corn and broccoli. The waitress was happy to have the chef prepare the steaks to our different likings. (Med and med well). The food couldn't have been better. We both had the house Cabernet which was also great. I hadn't been to Bob's on Lemmon in awhile but will definitely be back soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our dinnerMona4romDubaiDined on 7/19/2014We dined on 7/19/2014 and this is not my first time there, the only disappointment we had was that the waiter didn't tell us about the specials for that night ..we over heared it from a different waiter from another table near by and they had some yummy options that seemed interesting to try ..was a little disappointing but our food was just as great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OutstandingJMCNBIGDDined on 7/17/2014Outstanding... always has been one of my favorites, and still is!Special Features:
- Night place to goOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/11/2014Excellent steak house to share time with friends.Ambirnce is perfect for groupsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love Bob'sJoeCoolDined on 7/11/2014The food and service are fantastic. You will love it all!Special Features:
- Great SteaksVanhornDined on 7/11/2014I had the bone-in ribeye. It was amazing and very reasonably priced considering what I got. My wife got one of the filets and she said there was a very strong butter sauce on it. I've always felt steaks should be served without anything on them. This is TGI Fridays, afterall. I'll bet if you ordered it without, it would be better. My dad went Australian on us and had the rack of lamb. The lamb did not survive the encounter and the only leftovers in the bag was the bone from my ribeye which kept my dog busy for about 45 minutes. We got there at 6:30. By 7:30 the place was packed and it was fairly loud, but we still were able to carry on a conversation. There was a large wine list and a nice bar.Special Features:
- Weeknight DinnerPrincessDined on 7/11/2014We hadn't been to Bob's in several years due to a less than impressive dinner. A friend gave us a generous gift certificate so we gave it another try. Good quality steak and lobster but no ambience, nothing special.
- Birthday DinnerHappyDinerDined on 7/10/2014Great place for a birthday dinner. The food was great, as usual. Was surprised to see a family with small children seated next to us, which was also next to the bar. Would have liked a more private and romantic location for 2 people.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GreatDinnerDined on 7/3/2014The dinner was great! I would only change the lighting. It was too dark and had a hard time seeing the menu. I had to use my cell phone light to read the menu.Special Features:
- Bob's always deliversScottDined on 6/24/2014Bob's on Lemmon is the best steak house in Dallas, a city with many fine steakhouses. The meal is always cooked to perfection. The service is outstanding. The entire experience is top shelf. Although it is on the xexpensive side, I always find it good value for money.Special Features:
- Awesome!Mrosenbe20Dined on 6/21/2014Everything was great. It was nice not feeling rushed, really able to enjoy our time together and out food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantasticjjclifton2Dined on 6/20/2014My fiance and I finally tried out Bob's after having lived in Dallas for about 4 years and constantly hearing about it through friends and on The Ticket. Everything we heard was right. The filet and bone in veal were both amazing and perfectly cooked. The service was timely and the place was neat, dark, and much more quiet than Al Biernat's. We love both places, but it was nice actually being able to hold a conversation with one another without yelling.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday DinnerTBunnyDined on 6/20/2014I took my dad here for his birthday and father's day celebration. I was extremely disappointed that he was not offered a free dessert or anything to make this meal more special. I had a birthday the weekend before, went to Eddie V's and they offered me anything on the dessert menu for free for my birthday and brought it out with a candle. Went to Finn & Porter and they brought out a sample of their desserts with a candle on the plate. When I took my daughter to a dinner for her birthday at a restaurant in the Galleria, they brought out birthday dessert also. My father is 72 years old and I wanted to bring him to a special place with great food and a nice atmosphere. I will not come back here.Special Features:
- Fantastic Food - Noisy EnvironmentOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 6/17/2014My partner and I celebrated an anniversary and a birthday here. The service was great- very personable and attentive/helpful. I used Open Table to let them know about the occasion and the staff was fully informed, wishing us a happy anniversary and birthday. We were very happy with the food - this was probably one of the best steak dinners I've ever had. My partner enjoyed a duck entree; I loved my surf and turf. Our only complaint was the noise level. The room we were in was fairly small and alongside the bar area; a number of small parties enjoying themselves there and at tables created a high and intrusive noise level at times. I'm not sure that the staff could have done anything about it, but it really impacted our evening.Special Features:
- Excellent FoodFrizorio312Dined on 6/14/2014Our waitress recommended bacon-wrapped shrimp as an appetizer and it was just incredible. We were celebrating a new job, and it was just a delightful, romantic experience. Thanks!Special Features:
- wonderful eveningZannaDined on 6/14/2014We really enjoyed our anniversary dinner at Bobs. The wait staff, Jessica( the manager)and the bartender Emma, made it feel like a special occasion! The food was wonderful and we appreciated the complimentary dessert..a delicious piece of cheesecake!Special Features:
- Marvelous DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/13/2014Wonderful steak. Superb service. I lived two blocks away from the restaurant for 7 years and can't believe I put off visiting until now.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food but outdated decorAmbassadordeCuisineVIPDined on 6/12/2014Bob's is an institution in Dallas. So, I was excited to finally go after living only blocks away for years. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be going back. The food was good and the filet was very good. But the decor was stodgy and outdated. I know this isn't a trendy place but new carpeting and light fixtures could go a long way to help the ambiance. The menu selection also seemed like it harked from the 1970s. Yes it's good to have old favorites but it's also important to have new, interesting dishes.
- Wife's 50th Birthday CelebrationBigdallas323Dined on 6/11/2014Nice fine dining establishment with fairly decent prices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GmanVIPDined on 6/10/2014A Dallas institution, always a great place to go for a business dinner.I would recommend this to a friend.
- consistently goodOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 6/7/2014Bob's is consistent with good service and great steaks. let you dine and visit.Special Features:
- a ClassicRobinTDined on 6/4/2014while there may be other locations the original delivers! Great steaks and service.. The Bar was on that night!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Graduation DinnerHappyDinerDined on 5/29/2014We went for a celebratory dinner and it was great. The steaks were excellent and cook exactly to order. Wine list was very impressive and complete. Amazing carrots....I think it's marinated in ginger.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- the best steak I've ever tastedYeyoDined on 5/23/2014excellent size and outstanding flavor, very nice atmosphere and attentionSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Getting old and staleOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 5/23/2014This used to be the best steakhouse in Dallas. Unfortunately it is getting old and run down
- Anniversary DinnerHappy2Dined on 5/23/2014We were very happy that Bob's suited our needs for the evening. We were celebrating our anniversary and wanted a quiet romantic dinner without seeing children running through the room or hearing screaming or crying. The service was excellent and the food was too!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

By DAVID VANTRESS
All season long, Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly has been talking about avoiding the "noise" of national media attention.
That noise is no longer avoidable.
With previous No. 1 Alabama's loss to Texas A&M this week, the Fighting Irish moved up to No. 1 in the computer rankings, but are at No. 3 in both polls.
The Irish's standing in the USA Today coaches poll, however, isn't Kelly's fault: Kelly said on Sunday that he voted his team No. 1.
And the Irish are starting to make their case — one Kelly says is rooted in defense.
"Each team has their own distinctions. The distinction of this football team is it's the No.1 scoring defense in the country," Kelly said on his conference call with reporters a day after his team's 21-6 victory over Boston College.
"It's proven that against very, very good teams all year. ... If you look at national championship-caliber football, you've got to look at a defense, and so that's why we feel strongly that our football team has put themselves in the discussion. We'll let others decide, but I think we've played our way into the discussion."
Kelly's case begins with the fact that the Irish have allowed 111 points in 10 games, tied with Alabama for fewest in the nation. He also pointed out that Notre Dame has played every game against an FBS foe; Oregon played Tennessee Tech, and Kansas State played Missouri State — both FCS division teams.
In other topics arising out of Saturday night's win over Boston College, wide receiver DeVaris Daniels had surgery Sunday morning on a broken clavicle.
Daniels will be lost for the rest of the (regular) season, but the Irish will have him back for a bowl game, however, Kelly said.
Kelly was also pleased with the continued development of sophomore quarterback Everett Golson.
"I think setting his feet, I thought he did a much better job," Kelly said. "There are areas that we can do a better job with him. And then I like the way he ran north and south. He stuck his foot in the ground and really picked up some key yardage for us in running the football, and I think what we're going to see here is a guy that can hurt you both at throwing it, escapability and then throwing the football. Ball execution was really good, and if we trend that way and continue, then we've got the makings of a quarterback that's getting to the level we need him to be."

Cancer Previvors
"Cancer previvors" are individuals who are survivors of a predisposition to cancer but who haven't had the disease. This group includes people who carry a hereditary mutation, a family history of cancer, or some other predisposing factor. The cancer previvor term evolved from a challenge on the FORCE main message board by Jordan, a website regular, who posted, "I need a label!" As a result, the term cancer previvor was chosen to identify those living with risk. The term specifically applies to the portion of our community which has its own unique needs and concerns separate from the general population, but different from those already diagnosed with cancer.
The medical community uses the term "unaffected carrier" to describe those who have not had cancer but have a BRCA or other cancer-predisposing mutation. The term applies from a medical perspective, but doesn't capture the experience of those who face an increased risk for cancer and the need to make medical management decisions. Although cancer previvors face some of the same fears as cancer survivors, undergoing similar tests and confronting similar medical management issues, they face a unique set of emotional, medical, and privacy concerns.
Previvor cancer risk and management
As new research continues, the ability of medical experts to predict and manage breast and ovarian cancer risk will improve. Therefore it is important for cancer previvors to consult with a specialist in cancer genetics when determining risk for breast cancer and making risk-management decisions.
Previvor support
Confronting your personal cancer risk can be confusing and frustrating. If you are a cancer previvor trying to choose the best risk-management option, you need as much information about your personal risk as possible. Sometimes it helps to speak with other women who have faced these choices. Learn more about talking with other high-risk women in our previvor's support section.
If you are a previvor in the process of determining your cancer risk or risk management options, there is a good chance that you can find others in your situation within our FORCE community section.
Promoting previvorship
FORCE invites the community to support our Cancer Previvor Campaign.
- Use this term to describe the at-risk population.
- Tell your cancer previvor friends and relatives about FORCE.
- Tell your medical team about FORCE .
- Refer the media to FORCE to improve coverage of our campaign and raise awareness of the unique needs of the previvor community.

|'Journey to the British Isles,' Part 4
|Monday, April 15, 2013 7:49 AM
We are on our way to Belfast, Ireland, population 300,000. The driver said he was not going to take us into the city as a recent bus had had stones thrown at it. We drove around the city. We took the ferry back to Scotland, on the Stena Line. It took an hour and 40 minutes.
Traveling to Aberfoyle to see the sheep. They had a show called the Trossachs Theatre. They told about and showed the different breeds of sheep. There were lots of sweaters made of cashmere and different treatments of wools but I can't stand wool touching my skin.
Once again, we are in Glasgow, Scotland. We are staying at the Swallows Hotel. Our dinner was in the hotel. I had a cheese/vegetable meal with a puffed pastry in chocolate sauce for dessert.
There was a transportation museum near Sauciehall Street. There were cars, streetcars, etc. Goebels is on one side of the River Clyde and is known for vandalism. Our group went to a club which featured dancing in traditional costumes, such as kilts. They also had a meal for us, including haggis, which everyone talked about. It is cooked in the stomach of a sheep. We tried it and it was heavily spiced. Blood pudding was also on the menu. Cookie is the only one in the group who likes it.
We returned to Newark from Glasgow in 6 hours and 40 minutes. From Newark to Detroit was another hour and 12 minutes. Ireland especially was sooo pretty and such a green country. Of course, they have at least some mist, if not full rain, every day. There were lots of beautiful hydrangeas and fields of heather. We saw a few thatched roofs and will always remember the great soup. This was a very pleasant trip.
Pictured: The Millers saw many thatched roofs throughout their trip. This stone cottage boasts the "Oldest thatched roof in existence."

Paly graduates 465 in Class of 2013
Original post made on May 30, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Wednesday, May 29, 2013, 11:27 PM
on May 30, 2013 at 8:23 am
Congratulations to all 465.
Is this the largest class? How do these numbers compare with previous years?
on May 30, 2013 at 10:10 am
Good question, Resident. You may be right and I'm trying to track down a reliable answer. Last year Paly graduated "over 450." In 2011 it was 403.
District-wide enrollment this year was officially 12,396. The historical high in enrollment was about 15,000 in 1969 but at that time Palo Alto had three high schools. Cubberley opened in 1956 (closed in 1979) and Gunn opened in 1964.

At Toronto's BlackBerry 10 event, I got some hands-on time with a few unreleased games that are launching soon for the platform, including top-notch Gameloft titles such as Asphalt 7 and N.O.V.A. 3. Modern Combat 3 and Shark Dash is on the way, though Gameloft is far from the only major game publisher that's coming to BlackBerry 10.
Halfbrick is bringing Jetpack Joyride and Fruit Ninja, EA will have Plants vs. Zombies, NBA Jam and Dead Space, Disney will have Where's My Water and Where's My Perry, and Madfinger will be hauling in Shadowgun. Oh, and of course Angry Birds Star Wars is already there.
Even just over the last few days, BlackBerry World has been getting a continual feed of top-quality titles (which I intend to round up shortly for our British friends that can already get their mitts on the BlackBerry Z10). I'm hugely impressed by the game selection on BlackBerry 10 this early on, and I've spent a fair bit of time playing stuff on iOS and Android. Which games would you like to see on BlackBerry 10?
mohsinkhan35 Jan 31, 2013 at 11:40 pm
Holyyy!!! Games look crisp on it. Feb 5th can;t come soon enough!

while for me, i'll still wait what carrier will bring it (philippines) :(
and i wish imagi will bring their awesome temple run games on BB10 as well!!!
that will let WP loose the 3rd spot!
aloofkid Feb 1, 2013 at 2:41 am
I feel for you sir, I am also from the Philippines, but I'll not wait for the official announcement of BlackBerry Philippines or our local carrier to release BlackBerry 10, I'll just wait for the BlackBerry 10 on eBay to drop below $800 and I'll buy Z10. I'll just have my postpaid plan upgrade for the Q10.

thekidshop Jan 31, 2013 at 11:58 pm
I was going to say was there really 3 games running at once??? That's dam impressive : ) Tuesday. Can't come fast enough.
Andrew4life Feb 1, 2013 at 12:02 am
On a non game related note about this video. It's cool to see that the microHDMI output will properly show the app menus in portrait mode, but the moment you use a game in landscape it switches to that view. This is good so you don't get the portrait mode showing up in landscape or vice versa. Very well thought out video output.

ummm one thing though... Simon.. the phone is already broadcasted on an amazingly beautiful screen.. we missed the best part (him switching between the games) so why did you have to move your camera.. we would've seen it all since it's connected to the big screen anyways LOL... sorry had to pick on you buddy :P

Oh for the love of God. Why wasn't THIS shown during the launch?!!!!! Your running multiple games and switching between them on the fly without massive delays and load times. How better to showcase the raw power of this phone. Not to mention capture the interest of gaming consumers who still don't believe that you can game on a BB device with the exception of Brick Breaker and Snake.
This would have made the audience actually applause. Heck it might have even made the folks over at Joystiq recognize that BlackBerry can compete with the best of them in terms of providing a solid mobile gaming platform.
Now I want to see BT gamepad API tested. Hope we get a review on how that feature works.

You could tell Thorsten was in complete control of what was said and what wasnt. That being said, he strikes me as a man who doesnt really care about games, and additionally everyone knows the Playbook can multitask games like this, so he didnt include it. Shame as games are a huge part of the market.
I'd rather be a Black Sheep than an iSheep any day.
aloofkid Feb 1, 2013 at 2:52 am
Agree, they should have showcased this one during launch. We know that what's HUB, we know the Flow, the Peek etc. We know that the BlackBerry is a multi-tasking device but after seeing this one I was blown away. I didn't realize how powerful BlackBerry 10 is.
theking1009 Feb 1, 2013 at 1:07 am
WOW!!!! That's all I can say, 3 games running a once, WOW
Impressive stuff! We should have seen that at the launch!

Change is a constant
The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system was conceived to accommodate the expansion and evolution of the body of human knowledge. That's why 23 unabridged print editions and 15 abridged editions over nearly 139 years, as well as multiple Web editions since 2000 have been published—to ensure that you have current tools to manage contemporary knowledge organization projects.
The four-volume unabridged edition is published approximately every seven years, reflecting the time the Dewey editorial team needs to implement changes across the entire classification. The 23rd print edition, published in mid-2011, includes many new features that make the classification easier to use. The abridged edition, Abridged Edition 15, published in February 2012, and is well-suited for the classification needs of libraries with up to 20,000 titles in their collections.
WebDewey and Abridged WebDewey, which correspond to the unabridged and abridged print editions, are updated on a regular basis, bringing you ongoing updates implemented by the Dewey editorial team almost as soon as they occur. The Web versions also offer additional electronic functionality not available in the print editions to make your classification work more efficient.

MP Priti's attack on council after it orders businesses out of Black Barn
6:10am Thursday 9th January 2014 in News
AN MP has called Colchester Council "crass" and says it should be ashamed of itself for forcing a small business centre to close.
About 40 businesses have been evicted from the Black Barn gift and craft centre in Turkey Cock Lane, Stanway, and have spent the past few days clearing the building.
Colchester Council says it gave the businesses their marching orders because they had been trading on the site for six years without the correct planning permission.
Kevin Wells, 53, who ran a furniture business, said the closure spelled the end of his company and the livelihoods of other leaseholders.
He said: "They weren't big enough to take on another premises.
I was over there yesterday clearing bits out and three customers turned up and couldn't believe it."
The Black Barn had planning permission for the sale of furniture, but most of the businesses there were selling other items.
This led Colchester Council to ordered them out last October, giving them until December 31.
Priti Patel, Tory MP for Stanway, has been campaigning behalf of the businesses.
She said: "It's very disappointing to see the centre being forced to close, causing uncertainty and distress to those small businesses who use the centre.
"The crass attitude the council has towards local businesses continues to cause misery and holds back local economic growth.
"Colchester Council should be ashamed of itself for forcing this closure."
However, a council spokesman said its enterprise team and planning officers had offered to help the Black Barn traders to find other premises.
He said: "We provided Black Barn representatives a list of alternative premises to consider.
"Unfortunately, it appears none of these sites was suitable for their needs.
"The council will continue to offer guidance and support for any of the businesses that request it."

There was a similar remark the other week about Ms Patel joining JCB. digging one self into so many holes.
It is very difficult to quantify what the MP stands and exactly what they are doing for Stanway.
The constituency is over 135 Square Miles...In this case the effort was worth it...
However Mr Teflon Pritch**d and his rude and abrasive letters won no favour or his staff.
I was surprised that Councillor McLean allowed this to happen with their own business a stones throw away...

I hate the system they run, with the little clique making all the (wrong) decisions rather than the councillors as a whole. These cabinet jobsworths don't seem to answer to anyone.
We have one of the poorest decision making councils in the country by a long way.

EengDem says...
The previous occupant had full PP for the sale of furniture.
Black Barn started to trade & then around 2 months later, found-out that the building did not have the correct PP for the type of business they were running, so they started the PP process off.
As for 40 businesses being forced to close. Each business could rent a space or table for a period of not more than 2 weeks on rotation (assuming that there were more than 2 businesses with the same line to sell), so none of the businesses were anything more than hobbyists.
How do I know this?. Because my spouse approached them in June last year with a view to selling through them and the owner told us all about the planning issue and how the scheme works for sellers.

The council are only interested in the big boys people like Tesco, Sainsbury PC World. They don't let developers build small units up to 1000 sqr feet for small business. It's always been the same for years. These people on the council, their names should be published and named and shamed.

Mrs. Hoffman was born on January 24, 1926 in Carbon Hill, Ala.
She is survived by her husband, David Hoffman; children, Gerald (Jaylyn) Rollins, Joseph Neal (Barbara) Rollins, Susan Hoffman (Mike) Jones, Lee Ann Hoffman, Lynn Hoffman (David) Vandevort, and David T. (Joan) Hoffman III; sister, Yvonne (Harvey) Porter; ten grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.
She was predeceased by her brothers, Norman Sandlin and Bobby Sandlin; and son, John William "Jack" Rollins.
Mrs. Hoffman loved the Lord and strived every day to make her life a living example of The Gospel. She was a beloved wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister. She loved her family with all her heart and nothing made her happier than to cook for a house full of people. She was a passionate reader and a life-long supporter of the Republican Party.
Caughman-Harman Funeral Home Lexington Chapel is assisting the family. Plans will be announced at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to St. Jude Children's Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, Tenn. 38105.
