He made his fortune in the clothing business, and now Richard Caring is investing it in some of the capital's top restaurants and clubs. Sarah Butler finds out why he's swapped fashion for food
It's not unusual for those close to retirement to take up collecting as a hobby, but not many go about it quite like Richard Caring. In just four years, the 59-year-old rag-trade entrepreneur has collected a magpie's nest full of London's most glittering restaurants and clubs.
The suave, permatanned Caring, easily identifiable by his silvery sweep of hair and sleek Armani suits, has been a habitué of Annabel's, Le Caprice and The Ivy for some time. Now he owns them
In January, he secured a majority stake in the private member's club Soho House, in a £105m deal that topped off a long list of recent purchases including Scott's, J Sheekey and George. His property investments, have earned him the tabloid moniker 'the Lex Luthor of Mayfair'.
However, Caring's interests are now as diverse as the US Navy building in Grosvenor Square, Soho House's US properties, stakes in Camden Stables Market, the Wentworth Club in Surrey, famous for its Championship golf, and listed Italian restaurant chain Carluccio's. And he's not planning to stop there. 'We are still looking for more deals. We have the experience and the management structure, chefs and staff. I don't think there is anybody in this country who has the depth of people working in food and beverages,' the normally reticent Caring told Square Meal in a rare interview.He says he will look at hotels, restaurants and clubs: 'Anything in the same vein as we are doing now.' But his main interest is in strong brands that have been under-potentialised.
Until recently, the low-profile Caring was best known for his close friendship with colourful retail bigwig Sir Philip Green, owner of Topshop and Bhs. Caring is rumoured to have lent Green some of
the cash for his buyout of Bhs and has certainly supplied a good proportion of the clothing for that store and its sister group Arcadia, the owner of Topshop and Dorothy Perkins.
For a year or so Caring virtually ran Bhs alongside Green and he is still a major supplier to the high street, with interests in manufacturing businesses turning over several hundred million pounds a year. But after selling off NV, a major Next supplier, a few years ago, Caring began to explore new avenues of investment.
His spending spree in the leisure world kicked off in 2004, when he bought a share in the Camden Market complex for £40m. But he says the real spur for his move into restaurants came later that year, when long-term friend and property magnate Elliott Bernard offered him the chance to buy Wentworth. 'Elliott phoned one day and said: "It's for sale". As a sporting facility in the UK there is nothing similar. Wentworth is to golf what Wimbledon is to tennis.' As a keen golfing fan Caring says: 'I couldn't resist it.'
He teamed up with Surinder Arora, the airport hotel entrepreneur who was already a minority shareholder in the club, and bought Wentworth for £130m. It was seen as a high price to pay for a golf club, and £50m more than the club's book value at the time. Caring said he realised he needed to raise the standard of food at the club dramatically and brought in the owners of Le Caprice to help out. During discussions over the Wentworth deal Caring joked it was costing him so much he might as well buy the whole Le Caprice group; then it emerged that the management was looking for a buyer.
In June 2005,
after offloading designer eveningwear label Amanda Wakeley, Caring secured a £31.5m deal to take over Caprice Holdings, owner of The Ivy (pictured left), Le Caprice and J Sheekey, as well as
Italian restaurant Daphne's, Vietnamese restaurant Bam-Bou and the Moroccan Pasha restaurant.
He says: 'The whole thing happened quickly. It was not a great strategy. I didn't dream one night that I wanted to own some restaurants. But I always believe in blue chip, in quality, and this was a fantastic brand with an excellent quality.'
He adds: 'Once we are in something, we like to move ahead and build it into something of a sensible proportion so each of the brands can help each other; but each of the brands has its own strong identity and we haven't changed any of that.'
Caring immediately began to reshape the group, snapping up fish restaurant Scott's, then events catering firm Urban Productions, and selling Pasha to Algerian restaurateur Tony Kitous. The
following year the group also bought Rivington, a two-restaurant group independently set up by Caprice Holding's chef director Mark Hix.
Caring's next major target was Signature Restaurants, owner of mid-market eateries Strada and Belgo. He bought the group for £57m in 2005 and rapidly expanded Strada before selling the group on last year for an estimated £145m.
The profits from that deal were almost immediately pumped into acquiring Mark Birley's empire of upmarket private clubs, including Annabel's, George, Mark's Club (pictured right), Harry's Bar and the Bath
& Racquets Club.The £95m deal, concluded just a few months before the club-owner's death, included Birley's vast art collection, which adorns the walls of the clubs. However, many in the
business world felt Caring had overpaid.
Caring has argued that his detractors don't take into account the true value of the brands he has bought, something that gives a hint as to how he plans to develop his businesses.
With Soho House, the route to expansion is obvious. Caring, who bought out 28 minority investors to take a majority stake in the private club group, will continue the strategy of expansion abroad. Scottish bank HBOS has provided a £130m credit facility to help open sites in Los Angeles, Miami and Chicago this year. A further site in Berlin has also been confirmed, while clubs in Istanbul, Tokyo, Shanghai, Cairo and Sydney are said to be on the cards. Soho House founder Nick Jones will remain as chief executive, retaining a 20 per cent stake.
With the Le Caprice group of restaurants, Caring admits he is looking at the possibility of buying restaurants abroad. However, he says at present the strategy is very much based on making the most
of each brand's London base. 'There is only one Ivy,' he says.
The business is being taken forward with a £10m investment to develop the upper three floors of the building into a private club, which is expected to open in June. 'It will be all about the food, drinking, a great atmosphere, private dining and lounging bars. It will be a place to meet but in the Ivy style with no quirks,' says Caring. He says he has already been 'inundated' with membership applications.
A similar strategy could be on the cards at Annabel's, which is considering expanding from its cosy basement into the upper floors. Caring wants to create a private 'day club' with facilities such as private dining and a library, which would offer something different to the intimate Annabel's nightclub.
It all sounds like a sensible strategy, but can Caring make any money out of his move into restaurants? Or is this just a vanity project for retirement? On the surface some of his investments do
not look promising. In the year to
31 March 2007, Soho House made a pre-tax profit of just £150,123 and a loss of £205,315 after a tax provision as it prepared to open new sites in east London and Soho. In 2006, it lost £44,805 after tax. Several of the Mark Birley clubs also recorded a loss and Annabel's made profits of just £15,583 in the year to August 2006. However, that was after its former owners took out a massive £1.5m dividend.
Peter Blackburn, managing director of restaurant sector analysts Horizons, says that all the businesses Caring has bought have strong cash flow, high margins and are largely backed by the value of
their property assets as well as their strong brands.
'What he has done looks like a reasonably good business proposition. However, there is a question over whether these brands are exportable. In practice it is very difficult. A high-end brand has particular associations with a country or place.'
However, Blackburn suggests Caring's
plan of expanding certain brands within London looks smart. 'If he can take a long-lasting brand and create additional businesses then he could sell out and make a lot of money out of it,' he
Perhaps our first hints of the Caring touch come from Wentworth, which posted a 65 per cent rise in sales to £19.5m last year after refurbishing its bar and restaurant facilities with the help of Le Caprice. Operating profits for the period grew from £3m to £3.6m.
Sales also rose strongly at Caprice Holdings in the year to July 2007, up 15.6 per cent after Caring bought Scott's and sales improved at the group's other restaurants. He paid himself a £1.3m dividend from the group last year on top of a £1.72m dividend the year before.
Both businesses seem to be moving in the right direction, which is not surprising given that Caring has shown a canny eye for a good investment in the past.
The son of Lou Caringi, an Italian-American GI, and the nurse who cared for him after he was injured during the Second World War, Caring grew up working for the clothing firm his father set up on settling in London. Caringi, who changed his name to suit his new home, founded a successful knitwear manufacturing business, which supplied the likes of Marks & Spencer. Caring junior was one of the first to spot the opportunity in sourcing from the Far East when he went out to Hong Kong in 1972 and set up a buying office there.
During his 20 years in Hong Kong he built strong links with Far East manufacturers, helping develop the business into a major supplier for well-known names such as Mothercare and Next. He made
money, not only from his massive sourcing business, but also by selling the Together brand, which he had co-developed, to German catalogue firm Otto Versand and then selling NV, Next's Near East
sourcing operation that he had built up, to the retail chain.
According to the latest figures from Companies House, his main clothing supply company, International Clothing Designs, saw sales drop to £74.2m from £85.5m in the year to July 2005. This was after some operations were sold or closed and the group dropped into a pre-tax loss of £523,644 from a £3.99m profit the year before after an exceptional loss on the sale of designer label Amanda Wakeley. However, ICD is part of a complex web of businesses, many of which lead to offshore holding companies, making it hard to detect Caring's full earnings from the fashion world.
Friends say he retains strong financial backing from his fashion businesses and with rich friends such as Bernard and Green to hand we can expect to see Caring fulfil his aim of expanding his
interests in the restaurant world.
Already there are rumours that he will use his 10.28 per cent stake in Carluccio's to launch a bid and that he is interested in concierge company Quintessentially.
Caring, however, insists he has no plans to sell out of his current portfolio in the near future. 'This is a long-term investment, a proper business, not something to play with. These are quality brands that I respect, with great staff and management behind them. London is a supreme city of dining which outshines any other city in the world today and I am proud to be a part of it,' he says.

It took a bit to get Lewis through the more serious topics (the financial crisis), but once that was all over, he revealed a little bit about what he thinks about books and writing. For a writer, this is a more challenging topic than you might think.
For example, Lewis couldn't share his favorite among all the books he's written — "that's like asking what my favorite child is... you may not believe me but it's just not answerable."
He couldn't tell us which book he'd made the most money from either, Though he hinted that it was 'The Blind Side', 'Moneyball', 'The Big Short', or 'Liar's Poker' (that doesn't really help).
But he did share some of his favorite books, which included Tom Wolfe's classic about the space program 'The Right Stuff' and George Orwell's essays. Orwell gets in there because he proved that "you don't really need a character, you can get away with an idea," said Lewis. (We agree, and happen to like his 'On Writing' collection of essays the most.)
The best part of the interview, though, was probably when Lewis revealed who he wanted to play his character in the upcoming Liar's Poker movie. Back in the day he wanted it to be John Cusack, but "now he's too long in the tooth," Lewis admitted.
So he did what a lot of parents do to understand young Hollywood, and asked his 12 year old daughter what she thought. She told him that Zach Effron should play him as a young Wall Streeter.
"So I'm going with that," he said.

We are using CRM and ECC. We have a requirement to create business partner in CRM which will automatically replicate to ECC business partner and also create a customer and vendor master record. The config to middleware and customer vendor integration is already in placed and its working. However, when customer/vendor is created from the ECC business partner, it doesn't default in the company code data. The company code and recon. account has to default in since they are going to be same for all the vendor/customers. It allows me to choose the BP role FI vendor and FI customer in ECC and lets me enter that information but since ECC will be a display only system, we need to default in those values. While researching online i came across a BAdi CVI_DEFAULT_VALUES_CLASSIC and a Complex interface CVI_EI_INBOUND_MAIN, would you please elaborate on these? How will they be used and if they will solve the issue?
Your response will be greatly appriciated!

text: This course builds on the topics covered in Business Planning for Mergers and Acquisition I, and is based on the second half of Thompson, Business Planning for Mergers and Acquisitions: Corporate, Securities, Tax, Antitrust, International, and Related Aspects (2008). The course starts with an examination of leveraged buyouts, and then focuses on the drafting of various types of acquisition agreements. The course then looks at proxy contests and then turns to hostile takeovers and going private transactions regulated by the Williams Act provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The course then looks at special topics in M&A, including spinoffs, international M&A, bank acquisitions, acquisitions of public utilities, bankruptcy acquisitions, joint ventures and ethics issues in M&A.

In the past 6 seasons of Garrett / Romo / Witten / Ware, this team has never had a season in which their winning % in November was lower than their win % in October. Whether the team is up or down, their November record has always been better than October.
2007 Oct 2-1 Nov 4-0
2008 Oct 2-2 Nov 3-1
2009 Oct 2-1 Nov 4-1
2010 Oct 0-4 Nov 2-2 (JG took over in Nov)
2011 Oct 2-2 Nov 4-0
2012 Oct 1-3 Nov 2-2
2013 Oct 2-2 Nov ??
The statistical chance of that occurring 6 seasons in a row is less than 1%.
So is this just a statistical anomaly or is there something more systematic occurring? It doesn't appear to scheduling as we know how much records can fluctuate from the year before. At least 3 of those seasons had the same number of home games in Oct and Nov. Could it be the Thanksgiving game gives the Cowboys an edge in November, or is there something in the Cowboys psyche?
Whatever the reason, lets hope that it continues into 2013. And there is every reason to expect that it should, with the Cowboys playing 3 losing teams over the month.
(and lets just hope they then break their Dec/Jan doldrums, so our November expectations don't turn into December disappointment)

Bwog is an intellectual who loves all poetry
even if it's bad. Poetic Justice Bwogger Claire Friedman journeyed to the annual Philolexian Society's Bad Poetry Contest and recounted the beautiful performances.
If you've never had the occasion to think, "wow, what a romantic poem about the NSA," you've obviously never been to the Philolexian Society's Bad Poetry Contest. You also probably haven't critically considered a poem about horse bestiality (yes, you read that right), and for that you should be eternally sad.
Last year, Philo reminded me of the weirdest, most fabulously dressed family reunion ever. This year, I would say the vibe trended more towards a super friendly (and still fabulously dressed) cult. In a good way, strangely. Let me explain – it's almost like the members of Philo have grown so close that they've melded minds. Their penchant for chanting in unison and the fact that most of the men were dressed the same (I believe the dress code was starving-artist-chic) confirmed my suspicions.

The Seattle Sounders nine-match MLS unbeaten streak came to a grinding halt on Saturday night as the Houston Dynamo rolled to a 3-1 win behind two Brian Ching goals. The Dynamo raced out to a 2-0 lead in the first half and never looked back, only slipping up temporarily late in the first half and allowing a penalty kick goal. Houston was creative, potent in the attacking third and easily capable of taking advantage of the Sounders' defensive miscues throughout, making this match less than competitive for much of the way.
Colin Clark drew first blood for the Dynamo, hammering home a goal in the seventh minute. It's become a recurring theme for the Sounders, whose defense has been exploited early during the winning streak. In the 23rd minute, Ching got his first, heading home a lovely ball from Geoff Cameron to give the Dynamo a 2-0 lead, leaving Seattle stunned.
Seattle got one back just before the half as Fredy Montero was dragged down in the box, drawing a penalty. Alvaro Fernandez stepped up and buried the resulting penalty kick, cutting the Houston lead to one. It was as close as Seattle would get.
In the second half, Ching found himself free at the far post, burying his second goal of the day after a nice bit of buildup. Facing a two-goal deficit, Seattle was unable to battle back, and faded quietly into the night.

Sure, we've all spent time gnashing our teeth at Texas for a myriad of offenses: nearly running the conference into the ground, their self-serving broadcast interests, etc. And while the Aggies have gone off to play in the bayou backwater, they'll always know a special place of disdain among Raider fans.
The more interesting question, the way I see it, is this: who do you loathe additionally, currently? Oklahoma State for the way we've matched up against them of late? Baylor for their improbable resurgence (and the fact that we seem to battle them for recruits)? TCU for the fact that some of their fans seem to think they'll waltz in the Jones after getting beat in their house last year? Someone else?

The authors explore the use of software transformations for software evolution. Meaning-preserving program transformations have been widely used for program development from a fixed initial specification. They consider a wider class of transformations to support development in which the specification evolves, rather than being fixed in advance. A new and general classification of transformations based on their effect on system interfaces, externally observable behavior, and abstraction level of a system description is presented. This classification is used to rearrange chronological derivation sequences containing meaning-changing transformations into lattices containing only meaning-preserving transformations. A process model for software evolution that utilizes prototyping techniques is described. Ways in which this class of transformations can be used to support such a process are considered. A set of examples are presented to illustrate the ideas. Software tool support and directions for future research are discussed.

Physicians for Human RightsUsing science and medicine to stop human rights violations
For Immediate Release
Charles Taylor Guilty as Charged: PHR Welcomes Historic Verdict
Conviction marks milestone for Special Court for Sierra Leone and Rule of Law
Cambridge, Mass. - 04/26/2012
PHR welcomes today's verdict against former President of Liberia, Charles Taylor, the first head of state to be convicted by an international court. Today, the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) found Taylor guilty of aiding and abetting in 11 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including murder and mutilation of civilians, rape and sexual slavery, forced labor, and abduction and conscription of children to serve as child soldiers during the conflict in Sierra Leone.
The court found Taylor to have supported the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) rebels fighting in Sierra Leone from November 30, 1996, to January 18, 2002. With Taylor's assistance, the RUF waged a notoriously ruthless and violent campaign against civilians in Sierra Leone.
In 2002, PHR published a report that documented sexual violence and related crimes against internally-displaced people. The report estimated that nearly 50 percent of women who came into direct contact with the RUF were sexually assaulted and concluded that as many as 215,000-257,000 women and girls in Sierra Leone had been affected by war-related sexual violence. The study also demonstrated that thousands of women and girls who had suffered rape were willing to testify to the Special Court.
Additionally, the former director of PHR's International Forensic Program, Dr. William Haglund, conducted forensic investigations to exhume graves of victims of mass crimes in Sierra Leone for the SCSL.
"PHR's study and Dr. Haglund's forensic work revealed that these crimes were systematic and occurred over a several-year period," said Susannah Sirkin, Deputy Director of PHR. "Scientific investigations were powerful tools in supporting the Office of the Prosecutor of the SCSL in developing its case against Taylor. They demonstrate the important role that forensic evidence and population-based studies can play in prosecutions and seeking justice for victims."
The SCSL was established in 2002 to try "those who bear the greatest responsibility" for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and other serious violations of international humanitarian law and Sierra Leonean law committed in the territory of Sierra Leone since November 30, 1996. PHR has long supported the work of the SCSL and has called for accountability of those perpetrators responsible for egregious human rights violations, including crimes of sexual violence, in Sierra Leone.
Taylor's landmark conviction marks a milestone for the SCSL as it is the final case before the SCSL and will close as a key chapter in the ongoing process of accountability and reconciliation in Sierra Leone. The Court's decision today also marks a milestone for international law as the verdict sends a clear message to other perpetrators of international crimes that they too will one day face justice.
"Such a high-level prosecution provides some redress for Taylor's victims, but more remains to be done. Victims of the RUF's atrocities, including victims of sexual violence, require reparation. Personal and community-based healing is as much a part of justice as what happens in a courtroom. All victims of serious human rights violations require full reparation, including access to medical services and counseling. After the conviction of Charles Taylor, the international community and the Government of Sierra Leone should now turn to victim-centered support services in order to continue the march toward justice," said Sirkin.
Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) is an independent organization that uses medicine and science to stop mass atrocities and severe human rights violations. We are supported by the expertise and passion of health professionals and concerned citizens alike.
Since 1986, PHR has conducted investigations in more than 40 countries around the world, including Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Sudan, the United States, the former Yugoslavia, and Zimbabwe.

The Vatican Exhibit at the Texas Tech Museum has attracted thousands of visitors to the Hub City this summer, including a very special visitor this weekend. First Lady Laura Bush took a tour of the exhibit on Saturday afternoon. Before her tour, she sat down one on one with NewsChannel 11's Beejal Patel and talked about the aftermath of September 11th.
All of us remember where we were and what we were doing when news about the terrorist attacks spread. That's where we begin the second part of our interview with the First Lady.
"I was just getting into the car to drive to Capitol Hill. I was going to brief the Senate Education Committee on the results of the summit I had at the White House on early childhood education, so I was with Senator Kennedy in his office when we saw the first tower collapse," said Mrs. Bush.
Shock and sadness overcame Mrs. Bush. The First Lady was closer to the impending tragedy than she first realized.
"There was a while when they evacuated the White House before we knew about the flight into the Pentagon and the crash in Pennsylvania. I know my staff members were very afraid, and none of them expected when they got a job at the White House they would be told to run for their lives like they were on that day," said Mrs. Bush.
In the days after September 11th, many people looked to the White House for reassurance. It was then that Mrs. Bush learned just how strong her country was.
"When something like that happened to our country, I think everybody got a strength that maybe they didn't realize they had," she said.
When the dust settled, the First Lady opened her heart to the victims and survivors.
"I met a lot of survivors when I went to the memorial service at the field in Pennsylvania where the plane crashed. I went to the school that was evacuated in the shadow of the World Trade Center, and one thing I saw was how strong all these people were. Both my husband and I are strengthened by the strength of all these Americans, and the ones who suffered the most impact because they kissed somebody goodbye that morning and never got to see them again," she said.
September 11th changed many of us, and Mrs. Bush is no exception.
"I think I'm probably more serious, and I also think I, just like many other Americans, don't take for granted our freedoms anymore. I know how important our freedoms are and how fortunate we are to be Americans and to have such a wonderful country with so many people who are so strong," said Mrs. Bush.
"The firemen, policemen, and teachers, all the workers who we take for granted, showed us what heroes they were, and now I like it that they're the celebrities," said Mrs. Bush.

Girl Scouts receives more than $30,000 from the Valero Energy Foundation
Grant to help organization serve at-risk girls in Port Arthur, Texas City and Houston's East End
HOUSTON (January x, 2014) – The Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council (GSSJC), one of the largest Girl Scout councils in the U.S., received more than $30,000 from the Valero Energy Foundation. The grant will help support GSSJC's efforts to reach more than 2,000 girls with the Girl Scout Leadership Experience through in-school and after-school programming in Houston's East End, Port Arthur and Texas City communities called Girl Scouting in the School Day (GSISD).
"More than 30 percent of the Council's membership consists of at-risk girls living in underserved areas throughout Southeast Texas, so we are appreciative of the continuous support we receive from corporations like Valero," said Mary Vitek, GSSJC CEO. "The organization's generous assistance makes it possible for us to build girls of courage, confidence and character who are prepared to succeed academically, emotionally and socially."
The $33,000 donation came from two Valero refineries that elected their contributions be donated to Girl Scouts – $15,000 from the location in Port Arthur and $18,000 from the location in Texas City.
Beyond the traditional volunteer-led troop setting, Girl Scouts of the 21st century participate in a variety of programming to meet their specific needs and interests. Girl Scouts' goal is to reach more girls—especially in underserved neighborhoods. GSSJC achieves this goal by providing community outreach programs, like GSISD, to reach at-risk girls who would like to be Girl Scouts but lack parental involvement and local volunteer resources.
Because Girl Scouting encompasses a wide array of topics with pre-developed activities and curricula, GSSJC is able to tailor these programs to meet the interests and needs of girls. Younger girls earn badges and explore topics like the arts, health and fitness, leadership, multiculturalism, online safety and self-esteem. Teenage Girl Scouts learn about contemporary issues that have a direct impact on their lives like conflict resolution, dating violence, financial literacy and peer pressure. For example, Texas City girls will participate in the It's Your Planet – Love It! educational curriculum that teaches them about the importance of conserving our natural environment and the many ways they can protect our resources. At the Daisy (kindergarten and first graders) level, girls receive the It's Your Planet – Love it! educational curriculum and girls are learning about what it means to buy locally and how this impacts their community and the environment.
GSSJC's GSISD programs are delivered free-of-charge to girls, their families and the school they attend.
Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.2 million girls and adults. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Chartered by GSUSA to provide Girl Scouting locally, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council is the second largest Girl Scout council in the country serving more than 62,000 girls and 19,000 adults in 26 southeast Texas counties.

It's Le Touquet or bust for Twin Town challengers
7:00am Friday 14th March 2014 in Headlines
FOOTBALL fans will be able to bid to be Oxford United chairman for a day, the club announced yesterday, in an auction for the Twin Town Challenge.
Players and club members pledged their support for the charity event and said the successful bidder would be involved in training, board meetings and match day preparations.
Charlbury-based charity SpecialEffect is organising the challenge that involves driving a car worth less than £500 from Witney to its twin town, the seaside resort of Le Touquet in northern France. The auction will take place after the race has finished.
The charity's vice president, Brendon Cross, said: "This is a really generous offer from Oxford United and we are really grateful.
"The successful bidder will get a chance to really be involved. It promises to be quite a spectacular day."
The Twin Town Challenge takes place from Friday, May 23 to 26 and will also see the drivers doing 'fun' challenges along the route.

Poor Man's Watch Corner>New Watches>Polaris
China Made
Very rare find in Export Quality from China!
Not much is known about Polaris Watches. From my own experience, I trust those watches have a similar origin as the Double Rhomb watches. Please see my Double Rhomb page and my CHINESE WATCHES page from my private collection for more information about those great quality watches from Mainland China. I was lucky enough to find Old Stock in a shop that was once the luxury watch shop in China. The same shop I was able to find Old Inventory of Double Rhomb watches. I admit, I have a faible for those Chinese watches. The movement quality is absolutely comparable to the Double Rhombs and those Chinese movements are robust. I guess all machinery from Communist countries has been robust and durable. In addition, these Polaris watches were definitely Export Quality, again a parallel to the Double Rhomb watches.
Very interesting is the fact, that the bridges of these watches have a close similarity to the AS1130 A. Schild movement from Grenchen, Switzerland. At the time one of the leading watch movement manufacturers. Its biggest competitor was ETERNA, today those two companies are united in ETA, the largest Swiss movement manufacturer and one of the largest movement supplier of the world.
SOLD OUT! Sorry, no more new stock
rare NOS from 1970!
Polaris Hand Wind 19 Jewels - Chinese Export Quality Watches, New Old Stock
+ USD 25 shipping to USA
other countries...
Notes about my Polaris watches:
I selected all those watches carefully and personally. I have found that even the higher Export quality shows big quality variations. But I can guarantee for a high and consistent quality of all the watches I offer here.
I invested hours to select my Polaris: I checked case, dial, hands, markers and power reserve (42 to 48 hours) and accuracy (average +5 sec/day). If a watch does not pass, it will not be for sale here and goes as a gift to a watch friend.
All my Polaris watches come with a quality double stitched brown leather strap.

A gas station attendant said Wednesday that he's thankful to be alive after he was struck by a car.
Ronald Valle had just finished pumping a customer's gas at the 1A Auto Clinic in Walpole on Monday when a man, driving a Toyota Avalon, hit the gas pedal and slammed into Valle and the gas pump, which erupted in flames.
Valle was thrown more than 30 feet to the edge of a busy street, while co-workers rushed to douse the flames.
Valle was taken to Norwood Hospital and was recovering at home Wednesday with only bumps and bruises, though he said he is extremely sore.
"For one moment I thought, 'This is the end of my life,'" Valle told NBC 10. "I said, 'Oh God, forgive me for everything!'"
Valle said he believes the accident was just that, an accident, and doesn't hold any ill will toward the driver.

McGarvey has the Code for West again
Frank Berry and Jody McGarvey
The other man that has registered a victory on the Great Palm gelding is Tony McCoy, that being at the Listowel Festival in 2011.
On this occasion, McGarvey came there from off the pace, travelling-well on the seven-year-old equipped with cheek-pieces, in the straight.
The successful 9/1 shot took over from the front-running Rubert two out. On the run-in Christy Roche's charge kept going well enough to account for the staying-on Hans Cresent by a length and three parts.
On behalf of winning owner, J P McManus, Frank Berry said: "He'll go for another one of those and it's nice to win another race with him." (TW & EM)

This post is an extension of one I did for Shoot Hoops. I wanted to focus more on the Jazz end of things for the Utah fans. Plus, there's some things that weren't suitable to put in the original for a league-wide look; it would have come out too homerish for an international basketball blog like Shoot Hoops.
The focus is to try and determine where Jerry Sloan and the Jazz franchise stand in regards to player development. Sloan is all-too-often accused of not developing his young talent enough, or not doing it properly.
I can prove otherwise to the Sloan
haters doubters.
In fact, I intend to pound those silly assertions right into ground, where they belong.
If you were too lazy to click on the link to the original article (which you should have done if for no other reason than to see the stellar likeness of the Mythbusters' Jamie Hyneman I did on a basketball) then allow me to fill you in.
The research was centered on the 2005 NBA draft wing players, which included oft-maligned-by-detractors C.J. Miles. Why Miles, aside from the obvious? His draft class is sufficiently experienced some five-plus years later and included numerous similar players to compare against giving us an ample sample size to work with when searching for valid results.
What we want in a wing player for these purposes is someone big enough to play the SF position, but not so big that they can't also play the SG position. So the specs are approximately: at least 6'5" tall, and under about 235-240 lbs.
That left us with 18 drafted players, one of which who never played in the league, so the remaining 17 appeared on the first chart. (Note: Each player's peak year in MPG and PPG, along with the last year they played in the league were charted)
We're left with only nine players of the original 18 still playing today, meaning right off the bat Miles has somehow had a staying power that 50% of his contemporaries lack just five seasons later, despite many of them getting far more minutes than he has either annually or in total.
Here are the nine players that made the cut, so to speak, and how they've fared by year in minutes played and points-per-game, as well as their career total minutes played through December of 2010. Click on the image if you can't see it well enough in the post.
As you can see Miles played the 2nd-least rookie minutes of the nine. Indeed, he played the 5th-least among all 17. But remember, half of those players aren't even in the league any more despite their "early development."
And notice how most of the players on the list peaked many, many games ago, only a couple-few years into their NBA careers. Sure, some of them may come back to have a stellar season here or there, but none with the exception of CJ Miles and maybe Martell Webster have headed consistently in the right direction. And Webster was on pace to follow the arcs of Danny Granger, Francisco Garcia, and Ryan Gomes before he went down for a year.
Ryan Gomes, who has played well over 11,000 NBA minutes might be the poster boy for why reps don't = development.
Take a closer at Miles' line and you'll find that he was brought along at a steady pace, earning more floor time from Sloan as he added maturity and more facets to his game. There was a reason why the Jazz's coaching staff insisted he come back despite the brass being on the verge of letting him go on more than one occasion.
Think about that for a minute. The guy that gets bashed for not playing CJ is the one responsible for ensuring that he's still a Jazz man today.
Sloan and the staff undeniably saw something in him. Something that made them want to put in the time to develop Miles the right way, rather than simply tossing him out there "to see what they got" like 90% of the league's other coaches do with their up-and-comers.
The fact that 60% of the 2006 draftees are no longer in the league bears this out even more, 47% of first-rounders and 80% of second-rounders. Ronnie Brewer is a first-round survivor of that draft, and Paul Millsap the second-round surviving member of the remaining 20% of Utah picks.
Full disclosure: The Jazz also took Dee Brown in that 2nd round, a player that's had the misfortune to be one those who ultimately could not make the cut in the NBA. Brown played more minutes his rookie season than Miles did that same year, his sophomore season
I often hear "Why can't the Jazz do what the Spurs and Gregg Popovich do and find good role players and play 'em?"
Well, I'm here to tell ya that for every Matt Bonner there's also a half dozen Malik Roses and Rasho Nesterovics. For every Gary Neal there's also several James Whites and Roger Masons.
After playing extremely limited minutes for a handful of NBA teams Roger mason Jr. landed on the Washington Wizards at the right time, just before Gilbert Arenas went down with the first of his knee injuries. This thrust Mason into the lineup in the 2007-08 season where the San Antonio Spurs noticed him, bringing him into their fold the following year where he'd play more than 30 minutes a game.
via t2.gstatic.com
However, all those minutes didn't serve to make him a better player.
Mason isn't a guy with the kind of talent that made coaches go "Oooh! This guy is gonna be something special!" He's a role player that has had the fortune to fit into the right roles a couple of times, getting starter minutes for a couple years, making a couple of nice, timely, memorable shots, then fading away into obscurity once more.
That's what the Spurs do. They don't spend tons of time on guys for a few flashes of brilliance. They fill in holes. Then when those fillers don't pan out or have outlived their efficiency they move on to others. Rinse, lather, repeat.
Same story with the Jazz. Even though the grass may seem greener on the other side, the Jazz found their Gary Neal last year in Wesley Matthews, who just happened to also find himself in the right place at the right time due to injuries to key players. Only time will tell if Neal has staying power, but the odds are against him if he doesn't have that "it" factor that will make his coaches want to fight for him. It's entirely possible he's simply the next Roger Mason Jr. and not the next Wesley Matthews.
In Miles' case he does have that "it" factor, according to the way he's been brought up in the Utah franchise, making his progression as a player one that needs to play out in a more intelligent, patient manner to hone his skills, his mental edge, to prepare for him for that day where he's possibly celebrated as an extension of the brilliance of the brass that took him in that second round in 2005.
Had they thrown him out there to flounder his way through by trial and error the odds are he'd have long ago been thrown out with the Euro-trash or Chinese exports like so many others.
Instead, we find him now averaging career highs virtually across the board, and one of only three wings out of the 18 taken that have surpassed a certain threshold of efficiency in minutes-to-points produced.
Of that meager 17% of '05 wings that have crossed that threshold, CJ is one of only three currently headed in the right direction, and the only one out of all 18 that has posted a steady rise in development with no noticeable dips.
Had Miles been allowed to play the way he wanted long ago now, we might well be seeing only a streaky-shooting pine rider with bad habits instead of the well-rounded under-25 player with a vaulted ceiling that stands before us today.
It's difficult to debate the downside of Sloan's methods when we measure the fruits of his labors this way. After all, he does know a thing or two about what it takes to keep hanging around a certain somewhere for more than a season or two.

This one should raise a few eyebrows.
Pat Miletich, the first-ever Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight champion, thinks a bout between middleweight champion Anderson Silva and current 170-pound king, Georges St. Pierre, isn't such a bad thing.
In fact, "The Croatian Sensation" believes if "Rush" has a chance to fight "The Spider" over power-punching Johny Hendricks, it would be a much "safer" fight for him.
His words to Sherdog:
"If I'm Georges St. Pierre, to be honest with you, I'm probably going to lean towards fighting Anderson Silva. There's a hell of a lot more to gain obviously, but that might even, to be honest with you, be a safer fight for him. I think Johny Hendricks might have a unique game that may go as a serious risk for GSP. (St. Pierre) may get a takedown, but he's not holding Hendricks down. I think Hendricks is obviously a good enough wrestler, a strong enough guy when he's coming back up. And Hendricks has some serious one-punch knockout power. When he hits people, he's sliding them across the ice."e
Good luck finding many to agree with you on this one, Pat.
While Hendricks has proven he can pose a legit threat to St. Pierre's reign with his one-punch knockout power and outstanding NCAA wrestling credentials, we are talking about the pound-for-pound greatest here.
"Big Rig" emphatically staked his claim as the number one contender in the 170-pound division by knocking out Martin Kampmann cold in less than one minute this past weekend (Nov. 17, 2012) at UFC 154. And with a potential "super fight" between Silva and St. Pierre looming, Hendricks is more than content with waiting for his shot at dethroning "Rush."
Any brave souls out there actually siding with Miletich on this one?

Williams was suspended indefinitely as a result of the bounty program he helped run.
The audio was captured by documentary filmmaker Sean Pamphilon, who put part of the speech on YouTube and let Yahoo! writer Mike Silver listen to the entire thing.
The damning quotes:
- In reference to 49ers running back Frank Gore: "We want him running sideways. We want his head sideways."
- "Every single one of you, before you get off the pile, affect the head. Early, affect the head. Continue to touch and hit the head."
- In reference to 49ers receiver Kyle Williams: "We need to find out in the first two series of the game, the little wide receiver, number 10, about his concussion. We need to f---in put a lick on him right now. He needs to decide. He needs to f---in decide."

Why Should American's Pay for the Health, Education and General
Welfare of People who are Not Supposed to be here in the First Place?
I moved back to the
While I was filling my Coke, all I could hear behind the counter was Spanish. They were actually conducting business operations in Spanish… in
Even in
Our American Dilemma really hit home when I went to pickup a cell phone and was denied for bad credit. Bad credit? I haven't been in the
From one day to the next we hear news reports of emergency rooms closing, classroom overcrowding in our public schools, falling student test scores, the growth in the low-paying job market, the decline in good paying jobs, the erosion of our civil rights, our correctional institutions bursting at the seams, and so on and so on; all traceable back to our 25 million and growing illegal alien population. As we listen to one politician after another lamenting about the problems these people are causing, I hear nobody offering any solutions.
The only politico who seems to have a clue is the so called "Right-Wing Extremist", Pat Buchanan. What Buchanan proposes is really our only logical course of action, it makes sense for
If we were only to enforce the existing laws we have on our books, we would only need to make some minor modifications and amendments to tighten things up and bring our nation back from the brink. But if I may, I prefer what I like to call the "Buchanan on Steroids" plan.
Our laws, as they are currently written, require deportation of individuals who have entered the
Aliens without the proper visa are not permitted to work in the
Regrettably, many employers disregard these notices and put undocumented aliens to work anyway, often to their own detriment. Putting an end to this practice would require a monumental commitment from both government and business. Enforcement of these laws and mandating the imposition of severe penalties would be a beginning. Appropriate penalties must include significant prison time (not Club Fed) and a hefty fine, perhaps one year in federal prison and a $50,000 fine per occurrence as a minimum mandatory sentence. That sounds like it might be a pretty good deterrent. I know I'd think twice about hiring somebody whose identity and residency status I couldn't verify.

And while we're on the topic of kids, "Anchor Babies" are an insult to the 14th Amendment. I know it's safe to say the writers of this Amendment did not intend for it to be taken advantage of by people who do not have legal residency in the country. Even children born of foreign diplomat parents residing in the country legally do not receive US Citizenship. Why should the children born of parents who are not supposed to be in the country in the first place?
I should state for reference purposes that no amendment to the
Finally, the use of our hospitals as primary care facilities for illegal aliens is abhorrent. It has caused the closure of otherwise productive emergency rooms and trauma care centers. If we, the American taxpayer, are expected to foot the bill for the healthcare of people who have committed felonies in order to live and work in our country, I'm serving notice right here and now that I am opting out of the system until real change is made. I don't know about you, but my tax dollars must be used to maintain the health of my family and myself, and for the betterment of my standard of living and that of my fellow Americans. Allowing illegal aliens to take unbridled advantage of our healthcare system, and the innate generosity and desire of Americans to help people in need is criminal in itself and the federal authorities that allow this abuse should be prosecuted.
The only answer is to require proof of legal residency in order to treat people with non-life threatening illnesses. People who arrive at an ER with a condition that threatens life or limb must, of course, be treated; but not their 11-year old with the sniffles. This may seem harsh, and it is to some extent, but it is necessary in order to save the system for the people that it was designed to serve.
The other important benefit we would realize by following this course, which nobody in government seems to have a genuine concern, is the ability to close our borders to individuals' intent on doing us harm, AKA, terrorists. And let me tell you folks, if you believe that's just government hype to instill fear in the American populous, I only wish it were so. The years I spent in the Middle-East and
So that's it, saving the republic in a nutshell. No mass deportations required; No ICE hunter teams out looking for these illegal aliens. Simply strict enforcement of our existing laws and tightening of regulations governing issuance of public assistance only to people with legal residence would compel these folks to leave on their own. In fact, we should even incentivize the proposition for them and provide for their return trip and give them $500 in parting gifts, just so they can land on their feet. It would be a bargain.
In Part II of this article, I will address the talking points of detractors to my position. The topics will include: answering the Need for Unskilled Labor, Immigrant Abuse, Foreign Spending and Investment, and the need for Comprehensive Immigration Reform among others.

dovlek says:
Cheap with contract?
There are good phones out there but nothing compares to $249 for a Nexus 4. But we have choices in Android on how much and how low end we want. That is always good I think.
iMore needs to stop spamming my email. I never signed up for anything from them and I never visit them. Just because I'm an Android Central member and therefore Mobile Nations member doesn't mean iMore can spam my inbox.
Just sayin'. So stop it.
getaceres says:
How a phone which sells for 600€ free is cheap? Cheap is the Nexus 4 but this "low cost" phone made by apple is anything by cheap.
daglesj says:
That's what I find amazing is how Apple have managed to push the reality distortion field to maximum to make tech journos and the public think they have produced a 'cheap' phone when it is nothing of the sort.
It's a an expensive plastic phone with a small screen.
Wake up folks!
Gator352 says:
They found out by reducing the price by 100 dollars and making them look like skittles makes the dumb masses go into a feeding frenzy.
Gator352 says:
I want whatever apple is smoking. It seems to be some real good stuff.

meyerweb says:
Full disclosure: I haven't listened to the interview. I don't have an hour to waste. So my reaction isn't to the content, it's to the format. Is writing dead? Reading? Couldn't you guys summarize the key points for those of us who do still know how to read?
hoosiercub says:
The 5C isn't a cheap phone though, it's marginally cheaper than the 5S is off-contract, and I'm sorry but when top-tier Android phones are going for the same price on-contract as this bargain iPhone.. how can it be even discussed as cheap. If the 5C was $199 for the 16G without a contract, hell.. even I'd buy one.
Impulses says:
No phone that AC would be interested in can really be considered cheap tbh, not even remotely, with the possible exception of the Nexus 4 (now and at release). Whether you pay $50 or $200, the difference is insignificant compared to the contract etc. If Google actually manages to release a Nexus with LTE and voice/3G bands that works on 3 out 4 major US carriers, that might end up being the most disruptive Nexus yet. /fingers crossed
Apple's never gonna go after a low end market tho... Dunno why an analyst would waste time theorizing over that. As much as they've expanded in software and services, Apple is still primarily a premium hardware company and that's what drives all their profits. ITunes came about as a way to sell more IPods, same with the app store etc. They've been all about high profit margins off premium hardware for a long time.
That's why the IPad mini was under spec'd, that's why their cheapest laptop is still $1,000+, and that's why the 5c is made of plastic. There's nothing wrong with this approach IMO, specially when it's executed well... I can't stand some of their policies and choices when it comes tosoftware and the ecosystem at large, but it's hard to argue with their hardware approach (even if I like my 4.6"+ displays as much as the next guy).
That being said, said approach does leave you open to attack from completely opposite strategies, i.e. very cheap Android phones (not your Ones and Galaxies) and even something like the Nexus line which still revolves around premium feeling hardware but sold as a flagship/halo line that drives sales and adoption at the cost of immediate profits. Either approach can work well in the long run, the real risk is trying to straddle the line (see: Windows Phone).
