RIM posts larger-than-expected loss, shares plunge
Monday - 7/1/2013, 9:14am EDT
Associated Press
TORONTO (AP) -- Shares of BlackBerry maker Research In Motion plunged nearly 30 percent Friday after the company posted a loss and warned of future losses despite releasing its make-or-break new smartphones this year.
RIM also announced that it will stop developing new versions of its slow-selling tablet computer called the Playbook.
Analysts were looking for insight into how phones running RIM's new Blackberry 10 operating system are selling. It wasn't good.
RIM said it sold 6.8 million phones overall versus 7.8 million last year. That includes older models. In wasn't until well into a conference call with analysts that RIM announced that 2.7 million of the devices sold in the quarter were Blackberry 10 models.
RIM's Blackberry 10 operating system is critical to the company's comeback. New phones running the BlackBerry 10 software began selling around the world this year. The BlackBerry Z10, a touchscreen model and the Q10, which sports a keyboard, have received positive reviews, but there was a delay in getting them to market in the U.S.
The first quarter, however, included a substantial period of sales of the Z10 phone in the U.S. It didn't include sales numbers for the Q10 in the U.S. The Q10 just went on sale in the U.S. earlier this month.
Sales results and RIM's projections, however, signal that the new BlackBerry 10 phones are not selling well. The company said it anticipates it will generate an operating loss in the second quarter, too.
Mike Walkley, an analyst with Canaccord Genuity, said it's clear the new operating system has not turned the company around.
"With Z10, Q10, and Q5 all shipping in the August quarter and BlackBerry still guiding to a loss we believe that is strong evidence BB10 has not turned around BlackBerry in an extremely competitive smartphone market," Walkley said.
Chief Executive Thorsten Heins said on a conference call with analysts that the "transition takes time" and noted things are better compared to last year when "we were told the company was finished."
Shares of Research in Motion Ltd. dropped $4.02, or 28 percent, to close at $10.46 Friday.
The BlackBerry, introduced in 1999, was once the dominant smartphone for on-the-go business people. But it lost its cachet not long after Apple released the first iPhone in 2007. Apple's device reset expectations for what a smartphone can do. RIM promised to catch up while developing new a software system called BlackBerry 10, which uses technology it got through its 2010 purchase of QNX Software Systems. But the company took more than two years to unveil new phones that were redesigned for the multimedia, Internet browsing and apps experience that customers now demand. During that time, RIM cut more than 5,000 jobs and saw shareholder wealth of more than $70 billion vanish.
The Canadian company said it lost $84 million, or 16 cents a share, in the three months ended June 1 on revenue of $3.1 billion. It lost $518 million, or 99 cents per share, on revenue of $2.8 billion a year ago.
Analysts expected RIM to earn 5 cents a share on revenue of $3.37 billion.
The number of BlackBerry users in the world also fell by four million to 72 million. RIM also said it anticipates it will generate an operating loss in the second quarter. Heins noted the highly competitive smartphone market makes it difficult to estimate revenue and levels of profitability.
Heins also announced on the call that he has halted further development of RIM's failed tablet offering, the Playbook. The Playbook has not sold well.
"Our teams have spent a great deal of time and energy looking at solutions that could move the BlackBerry 10 experience to Playbook, but unfortunately I am not satisfied with the level of performance and user experience and I made the difficult decision to stop these efforts and focus on our core hardware portfolio," Heins said.
Heins said they'll continue to support the PlayBook on the existing software platforms and configurations. Asked if RIM will continue to make the Playbook, a RIM spokeswoman said the company is evaluating its hardware strategy.
Colin Gillis, an analyst at BGC Partners, said said it's tough for RIM because it's hard to make money on handsets now.
"There are a lot of people that haven't been able to make it happen. For all the talk about Apple and Samsung, there are companies like Nokia and HTC," Gillis said.
Gillis said things look bleaker for the company and it's going to continue to be a struggle.

eBay chokes on iPhones
Some were boasting from their camps outside Apple stores before the iPhone rush began, of how much money they would make on eBay auctions; and apparently, at least one optimist let it be known that $2,000 would be needed to buy a $600 iPhone. According to Katie Hafner, stringer for the New York Times, "Thousands of listings …
I'm suing apple
I bought an iPhone after camping outside all night, and now I can't even give it away on eBay. I've already lodged a lawsuit against apple. If anyone else wants to join me, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com Please make sure you put "I came unstuck too" in the subject.
I'm glad that those buying the iPhone just to sell on Ebay have had their fingers burnt. Like the PS3, supply meeting demand is good. Now if only they could do the same for concert tickets.
iPhone madness
I laugh at the fools who camped out to buy the iPhone and the idiots who spent hundreds of dollars to be first in line to discover they can only buy ONE phone at a time.
People are greedy stupid fools... I remember when everyone wanted to be the first to own bloody Windows 95!!! Where are the fools now? Did they camp out for 98? ME? XP and VISTA?
Technology changes constantly and it is stupid to rush out and buy the beta versions... but thanks anyway for the laughs.
The carrier for the UK is....
Telefonica, aka O2
its been confirmed for months apparently, signed and sealed!
not that I'm even the slightest bit interested!!
would you like to see proof?
Good for Apple
Good for Apple on getting the supply line filled.
Now if Nintendo could just get it's s@!t together so I could buy a Wii for my kid I'd be happy.
Goto Game they have the wii's in stock, they are out there supply is now consistent.
Whats all the fuss
Is it just me, or are people going crazy over something they already own? My lowly old phone plays music and videos, takes pictures, connects to the internet........ oh yeah, and makes telephone calls and can send texts.
I am truly a gadget person, who likes to be the first to get new toys whilst they are still novel, but that's the point, this is not new, it's the same as we already have, with a different brand name on it.
Re: Fuss
eBay fools
On the evening of the 29th, I saw an iPhone with a bid of $875. By the time the fool finally received his overpriced phone, I could have walked into my AT&T store and picked one up.
There was a pile of Wii's at Fry's last night, and we saw a bunch at Costco on Saturday.
Enough with the iPhone stories
I know its big news for Apple, and its a tech story alright, but it means precisely squat to UK readers.
And the vast majority who don't give a shit about Apple, or the overhyped gadget itself will never buy one and be happy with the phones we have already, which play music just fine without iTunes thank you.
Oh, and have a useable camera. And are cheaper. 3G.
You get the idea.
Get some perspective assholes
The people who camped out aren't all "greedy, stupid fools." Some people are just trying to turn a quick profit so they can get a leg up for once in their lives. If that means blowing $600 on the lottery-style chance you can triple that money by selling to some rich f--k who has the cash to blow $2k on an iPhone, or PS3, or Xbox360, or whatever... what do you think they're going to do? One iPhone or PS3 at $2k means a nice Christmas for the kids, a security deposit on a better place, or the downs on a "new" used car.
people who speculate on low/mid-level goods aren't the greedy ones (try currency speculators for that crowd). Often, they're the working poor who are trying to hit up as many times as they can before they hit down. They're students (I know a few), single moms, blue collars who take a day off on that off chance, etc.
I'll grant you that there are jerks in the mix, people who are making ends and just want more of it. But the situation is a little more complex than what I'm seeing here in the posts, and you all should think about that before you gleefully banter on about how the campers got bit this time.
(btw, I *did* camp for a PS3 and a wii, but both for personal use. I don't camp for other things, as I really don't have the time or need for the money.. but I have plenty of friends who do and I cast no aspersions on what they do.)
Re: Get some perspective a##holes
I wouldn't call them "working poor," as those people have enough reality sauce to avoid trinket-camping.
However, the people who do this are not usually people who can afford to lose $600, and that might be one reason they aren't rich.
I don't feel particularly sorry for them, but I agree that it's not nice to poke fun at them, as just about every one of us has probably made some similar mistake in the past.
Anyone own a $2,000 Blu-Ray player? How about a smokin' hot MO drive, for the paltry sum of $600?
Re: Re: Fuss / interface
$200 for hardware.
$400 for pwetty bwuttons.
Hey, I'm a mac fanboy and I like being screwed over!
Interface? In ya face!
A rumour that was spread around town
"One iPhone or PS3 at $2k means a nice Christmas for the kids, a security deposit on a better place, or the downs on a "new" used car."
With all the will in the world, people are diving for iPhones when they could be diving for pearls.
What do you mean "if Nintendo could get their sh*t together"?
Every time I go to my local Best Buy they have the Wii on hand.
re Get some perspective assholes
So they wait how many hours ? say 30 hours in total ?
how much does Mc Donalds pay ? I have honestly no idea but take 8$
so instead of working for 30 hours and getting 240$ for sure they take the chance of losing money instead ?
Well I am sorry but that way you will never make it. If you invest you should have a decent chance to have your investment back with a decent profit.
just my thoughts.
re Get some perspective assholes
"so instead of working for 30 hours and getting 240$ for sure they take the chance of losing money instead ?"
$8/hour? try minimum wage for most fast food employees (currently less than $6/hr.) But, for argument sake let's grant an $8/hr rate.
30 hours of shift work at McD's = 3.5 days of actual time assuming standard 8 shifts and no back-to-back double shifts. This nets $240 US *pre-tax* income... subtract ~ $30-50 in income tax and FICA tax depending on your filing status and you're left with $190-210. We'll split the difference and call it an even $200 for 3 days of work. Greasy, smelly, rude-customers-who-you-have-to-smile-at type of work.
Compare that to a waiting for 30 *consecutive* hours in a line for a chance to make 10 times the money in 1/3rd the the amount of time? Tell me what you'd do in that situation?
For items like the Xbox 360, PS3, the PSP, Nintendo Wii, and the Nintendo DS this tactic paid off. I have friends who made upwards of $2500 on Playstation 3's last November.
Look, there's always risk in speculation, people lose money in real estate, and stock markets crash. yada-yada-yada...right? Companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Sony generate huge hype and publicity for product launches, scare up the media about product shortage, and in this case led a bunch of people down along knowing full well that there was no scarcity of product. It's a finely tuned and practiced form of pump and dump, and I don't think it's something to laugh about or criticize consumers for.
I just get pissed that some people characterize these consumers who are scrapping for a living as greedy, yet themselves probably greatly sympathize with the S&L and/or Enron victims who fell for similar insta-rich style tactics (albeit at much higher stakes.)
phew...rant over :)
So does anyone want to make MTT an offer and buy his brand-new-never-been-opened Apple iPhone which didn't shift on eBay?
$600 ono.
MTT perspective
"I have friends who made upwards of $2500 on Playstation 3's last November"... NO U havent. PS3 has been a sales disaster. People may have qued for it but it, didnt come close to selling out. Now remember the Pink razor v3. Wish I'd bought half a dozen of thoes before Christmas 2005 I could have made a killing. U dont need innovation, just a coat of pink paint :)
re Anyone...
ha :)
thanks, but i didn't wait in line for one, and I'm not really into the i-phenom that is Apple. I personally prefer PC's, Creative's Zen line of media players, and Samsung's Blade phone. That covers most of what Apple has to offer by way of hardware.
I'm not that into paying extra money for smugness ("oooh, my computer looks like an art-deco lamp! That's so progressive.")
sorry apple lovers ;)
re MTT perspective
' "I have friends who made upwards of $2500 on Playstation 3's last November"... NO U havent. PS3 has been a sales disaster. '
Brian, I'm sorry but you're just plain wrong on that first part.
The PS3 *did* sell out on release, at least in major US cities, so, people who put up their consoles in mid-Nov. or did pre-sale auctions on eBay made a nice sum of money. Here in Boston, we had lines of 300 or more people stretching around and through the Prudential center, Fenway, the Cambridgeside Galleria, etc. just to get one unit out of something like 40-60 per store. Down the way in Philly people were getting shot and trampled for them.
Once the hype died down and it became clear that Sony wasn't really having "shipping delays" (aka pumping and dumping) so that there was plenty of product, and once people tried the Wii... then the PS3 tanked. But those first few weeks were unbelievable in terms of shopper hysteria.
Like i said before, I *did* wait for both the Wii and the PS3 but not for resaIe, and I have to say as an aside, that the difference in crowds was also unbelievable. The Wii folk were a great bunch of people, some dressed as Mario and Link and all very friendly. My kids and I went very early on launch day to wait in line (about 3 AM for myself and 6 AM for the kiddies), and I had the pleasure of treating my 'line mates' to a box-o-joe from Dunkin donuts, laughing with fellow gamers about geeky stuff, and playing DS Mario Kart tourneys.
The PS3 crowd was a mix of nice people and very twitchy, very quirky people. No one was shooting up the joint :) but definitely a different vibe, and less buy-the-world-a-coke attitude.
Point and laugh
"I laugh at the fools who camped out to buy the iPhone and the idiots who spent hundreds of dollars to be first in line to discover they can only buy ONE phone at a time."
For your viewing pleasure:
re: Point and laugh
That was gold! That greedy cow got what she truely deserved!
reminds me
When Brazil played against England... I bought two tickets for 60 quid each, and sold them for 300 each!!!! And in the end, the game was a tie...

I just keep laughing.
hyenafan said: I can't really explain why, but I really love xXSharknado98Xx. Johnny? Devi? Squee? Zim? Forget about them! xXSharknado98Xx is the best! We must always remember that she's real and that she's always right.
Hey, thanks! She just started life as a joke, a gag on that one page of all of Fillerbunny's offspring, and that was gonna be the end of it, but she ended up being one of my favorite things about the story.
Here's a cropped version of my print for the #Sailormoon gallery show at Meltdown Comics this Saturday! I'm thinking of calling it "Inaccurate Episode One"? #meatballhead #meltdown
I've never watched sailor moon because I like myself too much, but I watched @cunch draw this on my cintiq and I think it's pretty badass. The end.
EDIT: I can't say I've never watched it because she had it on as reference and I caught maybe an episode's worth of stuff and it was just shrill screaming and yelling nonstop! Who the hell would watch a cartoon of characters just screaming and yelling nonstop. Inconceivable!
Damn! I forgot to add the swollen, shiny man-lips!
The signs all point to one thing - A new dose of Fillerbunny in stores is nigh, this week as a matter of fact, tomorrow even! This is the book nobody's been waiting for, but everyone should own! Love Fillerbunny? You need this book! Hate Fillerbunny and everything else my name is attached to? You need this book so you can fuel your insane rants to nobody who wants to listen!
In case you've been living under a rock and haven't been watching all the trailers in theaters and reading all the informative flyers taped to bricks being thrown through your windows while you sleep, this book collects every issue of Fillerbunny ever made, including a brand new issue 4 that's not even in stores yet! That's right, this book collects THE FUTURE. Issue 4 is really sad, guys. Maybe you shouldn't get this book.
Aw, I'm just kidding with you. You HAVE to buy this book. if you don't, everything i've worked for will be for nothing and I'll just hate myself for even trying. Why would you do that to me? Seriously, what's up?
There's quite a bit of new material in here, not even counting the whole new issue, so here's just a list of the guests that did pages: Bryan Konietzko, Edmund McMillen, J.R. Goldberg, Tyler Hutchison, Frank and Becky, Pendleton Ward, Alex Pardee and Aaron Alexovich. One of them did a drawing that actually upsets me.
So yeah, go to your local comics purchasing establishment tomorrow, demand the book. I'd be pretty happy if you were all responsible for why they sell out of copies in a single day. No pressure, but if that doesn't happen, I'm probably gonna just kill myself, man. I'll do it. I won't actually do it but I'll talk about it all day.
banimals said: I always believed Squee is actually Johnny because of that comic in which Squee is visited by his future self. It makes sense that somewhere in imprecise science of time travel, Squee ends up stranded in the past and winds up inadvertently inflicting the psychological trauma upon his childhood self that would lead him to become a deranged serial killer. Or have I got this wrong?
Yeah, that's pretty wrong. Don't feel bad though, as it's a thing I've heard people say pretty much from the day I started drawing Squee. I get where that comes from, but it's not where my brain goes with the character. Squee's just a good kid, wants to be comfortable and happy, but awful shit just goes down around him in the name of cheap laughs.
His story is entirely different from Johnny's, however. Johnny's always been a patsy to me, and someone who would only really be admirable on the most shallow level until you get a better sense of what he's about. He's sympathetic to a very short point and then the rest of him is not much better than the nonsense he obsesses over and judges with impunity.
Squee's just a kid who has the shit luck of having him for a neighbor.
Squee's also got a bear that absorbs every bad effect those horrible experiences would leave in him. It's partly why Johnny has an instant dislike of Shmee. Broken folks hate being called out on their shit.
I think Squee's gonna be alright.
Spotted this on Rotten Tomatoes' collection of SD Comic-Con 2014 photos! I'm gonna assume these three (I like imagining there was a baby in the Minimoose) died of the relentless heat. Fun though!

I'm surprised you only found one lie. I joke not.
Politics is about voting for the least worst in my opinion.
In the last election here (Gibraltar) we voted for the GSLP (socialists)/Lib Alliance. They won by a narrow majority.
Three aspects influenced my vote:
Maintaining Gibraltar's independence and right tripartite (Spain, Gib, UK) discussions on sovereignty
Favouring Gibraltar residents over cross-border workers with regard to employment
The perceived cronyism of the previous government – at least there would be different cronies getting favours with a change in power :D
A few political posts I wrote regarding the Gib election:
As a general comment nearly 12 months after our election, I think they started off well, but seem to be struggling now. But as you mentioned regarding the global (aka American) crisis, economies aren't necessarily to be laid at the government's door. Did Nigel Lawson do well or was he in the right place at the right time? (for example).

Yarn store alert!
I was wanting to go out hunting for yarn, and I found a yarn store kind of nearby! This cozy hole-in-the-wall yarn shop is called The Shivering Sheep (cute name!) and is located in Abilene, KS.
The lady was nice, and asked if I knit or crochet, and asked what I usually make. I asked how long the shop had been open — she said 10 years! Awesome! She also told me they have a group that gets together Thursday evenings at the shop. She gave me a business card, and invited me to bring along a project I'm working on, and join them. (On the card she gave me it says "knit night", but I assume there are probably crocheters. If not, I wouldn't mind being the only one.)
I didn't find any yarn I wanted to purchase (GASP!!!), but I was eyeballing some spindles. I did see this lotion bar in a tin that I decided to buy. It's nice. It has a very light almond scent. I don't usually like lotions or scented anything, but the scent is barely noticeable, and the lotion soaks in quickly in dry areas. (My hands don't usually get too dry, so it didn't soak in very well, but once I wiped my hands off, they were super soft!)
So that was nice. If you're ever in the area, go check it out!
It's located at 308 N. Buckeye Ave in Abilene, KS.
The hours are:
Monday - Tuesday: Closed
Wednesday: 10:00-5:00
Thursday: 10:00-9 (Knit Night)
Friday: 10:00-5:00
Sunday: 1:00-5:00

My (R)oomie is easily pleased. A simple Indian dinner, a slice of mango, makes him plenty happy. What I've noticed is that it's the attitude he gets it with that makes him all the more happy. That child like glee is something I've seen in very few people.
My Mom too, is easily pleased - genuineness is the easiest way to get to her. She lives in the details and then cares about the big picture anything in between and you've lost. Although these two people mostly very different I see some similarities that make me happy.
They both are true and fair minded people - they love to give, they never care about themselves as much as they should(I keep telling them both this often), they both love me loads(which is the best part) and I love them both loads and loads albeit we rarely need a reason to start a
war discussion…
Well, why this mushy post, you ask? Because I don't want to wait a year(for special days) to say 'i love you' to the special people in my life. Each day is special(in its own weird twisted discussion filled way) because I have you in it.
Sometimes long drives end up being great places to pick up fresh fruits(like the apples in the picture above). One such drive got us a plethora of strawberries and mangoes. Coming from India, I miss mangoes the most during summer… All those summer vacations spent eating every variety of mango available in every possible form, trying to get a taste of the mango pickle without getting caught are some of my favorite memories.
Although strawberries never played a big role in my life as a kid I did get to taste it as a special treat once in a while and when I got a chance to play with so much of it I jumped at it. I've mostly made strawberry preserve/jam but more recently I've tried consuming some of it fresh or in a milkshake with some other seasonal berries.
Having said that, the milkshake it a great way to consume this delicious fruit. Or just fresh, out of the box.
I cannot have enough of these either… Except that I sometimes feel lazy to cut them up :)
Days like these all I want to do is sit on my papasan chair and drink some masala chai… And since the weather here is unpredictable such times are precious!
How many of you freak out when you get new glassware and have to remove those uber sticky price tags off the bottom? And there's a party the very next day!
I've tried many methods and this works best for me - plus it's easy and I happened to think it up myself withOUT googling! Take warm water a bowl. Maybe a little more than warm but not hot.
This is the martini glass I got with the sticky pricetag.
Place it in water for 5-10 seconds. Now gently peel it away under water.
The easy peasy peeled price tag - sticky no more! YAY!
I'm not sure if it's okay to make a post for a simple tip but I think I'm in love with these glasses! They're best if used to eat.. ermm, serve some yummy dessert!
Also do you like bite size desserts like they serve in PF Changs? I for one, wish Everyone did that. I'd be able to taste more varieties that way, no? :P Anyway that's just me. But I did buy some tequila shot glasses just for that reason!
Not the best picture, I know, but it was taken at midnight.
Its whipped cream with sugar on the bottom, layered with vanilla cake and chocolate cake, sprinkled with sugar syrup and coffee decoction and topped with the whipped cream with sugar and some chocolate syrup. It's very easy and fun!
P.S: ignore my messy fridge.
Have a great week!
Hey yo'll…
Id Mubarak and Happy Ganesh Chathurthi to all of you… August had a lot of Birthday celebrations Krishna(yea the Hindu God) and Balarama's(His Brother) and (R)oomie! September brings along more celebrations and it continues to the end of the year and then again it's welcoming the new year and many many more festivals… So happy festivities!!!
Abhi-Zee's Ganesha just before Visarjan…
Lav's Ganesh Chathurthi celebrations
I cannot imagine not having the amazing kheer that Mom's friend and mine used to serve us on Eid and neither can I imagine not celebrating Christmas. There are tons of festivals I am not aware of and do not celebrate simply because I haven't had the luck&pleasure of experiencing them… You will however observe how I have come down to associating the my memories with the one thing I speak and write so much about - FOOD…
PB Aunty's handmade Ganesha
We all have our favourites, dont we now? So does Ganesha - Modaks, Besan ke laddu, Rawa Laddu, Puran Poli, Motichoor Laddu, Moong Dal ka Halwa, Karanji, Puliodarai and lot's more… Given the size of his rotund belly, its really not surprising. Last year, for the first time I tried making a few of his favourites and they were Okay but not as great as I'd have liked them to be. This year we decided to focus more on quality and less on quantity.
So I went a little overboard and made a homemade mandir with drapings(handstitched) and a clay Idol with as realistic colours as I could get. Unlike last year when I worked on the clay using a video - this year I created mostly using my imagination, sitting all through the night… At the break of dawn, I read about the earthquake and the upcoming hurricane and I prayed that the effects not be catastrophic… But that's another story altogether.
So here are my memories and also a few on my frds' celebrations and with it I include a prayer for you - a prayer for peace, happiness and success in all the good that you do… And also for you all to find love and stay loved.
I was a marshmallow lover till I got to know that it had gelatin in it. Sometimes Ignorance is Absolute Bliss. Having realized what gelatin was and so on and so forth I decided to give it up. This was a longtime ago(almost a decade). I wasn't a very conscious vegetarian - in the sense that I never went about looking at labels on sweets to check for gelatin. Hell… I wouldn't even know what gelatin was if it danced in front of me.
After the enlightenment I kinda felt sad that I had to give up something i really liked but it also made me painfully aware of a number of candies I had to give up on. In the recent few months I've been through some absolutely gorgeous sites with beautiful desserts decorated with fondant. Alas the ingredients included the dreaded gelatin. I almost gave up when I got this crazy idea of making a vegan version from scratch. But again, the procedure and the number of ingredients threw me back.
The last google I did in frustration was for vegan marshmallows and bingo - Whole Foods had it. I drove there and picked a packet and tore it open to taste it. There's definitely a diff in taste but it's pretty darn good. So I used it to make some Vegan Fondant. I found many videos on youtube which demonstrated how to make fondant with regular marshmallows and I simply substituted it with the vegan version. Surprise surprise, my first batch of vegan fondant :) I even managed to cover a few cookies but to be absolutely honest I did feel it was a little dry. Maybe I should mix it up more. I'm still learning and experimenting with rolling out the fondant and shaping it. I tried some roses which look very immature but are a start nonetheless and I'm only going to get better so I look forward to it.
They tasted nice and so I packed them up for the bake sale though there wasn't any baking involved :D The white dot shaped thingies is powdered sugar that i used to roll out the fondant. Trust me - these look very immature but they are absolute fun especially when you are not sure of what you are doing!
The other thing is that there has been so much sugar usage for all the baking that I actually am revolted at the sight of sugar. Well, whom am i kidding - not really revolted, I'm keeping myself away consciously. A dear friend constantly reminds me about living and running a healthy lifestyle. That and my dearest Mom who surprises me with amazingly new things she starts up like this cabbage juice she suggested for detox, guava leaves to control sugar and I can keep on going…
Now about the above cookies - I wish I had taken a pic of the cookies when i just piped them on the silpat hoping they would retain their shape(I piped them so close to each other too!). They looked so pretty and when I put them in the oven and checked on them 10 min later and they were bubbling their way all over the silpat - I almost yelled in frustration! The first time I participated in the Daring Bakers and I was supposed to make Florentines they didn't spread out the way they were supposed to but this time I didn't even try and these cookies laced out pretty
darn well! These cookies have NO EGG and have cocoa, hazelnuts & almonds. They taste really buttery because of all the butter I generously used. When I got the out of the oven I had to use a pizza cutter to gently separate them out!
I had this post in my drafts waiting for find my camera's connecting wire so that I could transfer some of the pics I managed to click on the Baking Sale(because in my excitement I forgot the memory card-silly me) hosted by Gaby. The bake sale was a huge hit at the BLD restaurant generating more than $2300 at the LA location and more than $22000 all over the country for Share Our Strength. I tasted a macaron for the first time ever and it was delish! I also got some strawberry preserve made by Kate at savour-fare which didn't last more than a day!
Sources: My cookies are all inspired by Amanda from iambaker and iammommy and Bridget at bakeat350. They make the most exceptional cookies I have ever seen and have even put up videos at university of cookies to add to my pure delight!
I made the meringues by following the step by step procedure mentioned here(it's in great detail). The Florentines were a trial and error recipe which I am going to work on till I get the desired shape.
I have been a tea addict ever since I could spell the word tea. I could make tea since I was tall enough to reach the stove. It may not be the best thing to be addicted to because there have been days in my recent years when I would get a migraine if I didn't get my morning cuppa tea.
Also for the past 3 years now bagels are one of my most favourite food type. I have treated myself to one bagel with some Dunkin donut coffee for 1.5 years straight which also meant that I was putting in at least 500 cals in one meal with all the creamcheese and all the cream in the coffee. And then I gave it up just like that, suppressing all the craving deep inside. I best love my bagels Unsliced, Untoasted and microwaved for exactly 30 seconds and eaten without any spread on it.
Weekends usually start late with a nicemasala chai with rusk to dip in. After having my share of chai today morning I felt greedy for more. And then suddenly this bulb lit up on the right side of my head and I decided to get off my arse and make some tea infused bagels!

But food and I had some major issues. It just wasn't working between us anymore.
In July 2014, I got on the scale and saw a number that changed my life. Or rather, it made me decide to change my life. Since then, this blog has been the story of what happened after that day.
The Girl Behind the Blog
My name is Kerry (with a" y" not an "i", please!) and I'm a marketer/writer living in Tampa. I like to think I'm on the right side of 30. I'm always thinking about my next meal. I'm also a total smartass (hence the "snark").
I write about my weight loss journey, as well as a mix of original and adapted recipes (it's nearly impossible for me to follow a recipe — I always like to tweak things a bit).
I'd love to hear from you! You can get in touch with me here or connect with me via social media on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, and Yelp.

This music is very good! Amazing actually! :D
I'd have given it five stars but for the completely unnessecary pop versions of songs, which could have easily made way for two or three extra score cues.

-South Street Seaport Instameet -
This weekend, Instagram encouraged photographers worldwide to host and attend meetups, or 'instameets'. These meets are an incredible way to connect to other members of the Instagram community, and it is always mind-blowing and exciting to see and be involved in the kind of creative melting pot that occurs when large groups of people with a common passion get together.
Upon seeing the announcement, my friend Dave Krugman and I decided to host a meet in NYC, starting at 7:00 a.m. at the South Street Seaport. The response was beyond overwhelming. By 7:30 a.m., we had over 50 Instagrammers lined up and ready to shoot!
The rest of the day unfolded in epic fashion as we explored the Seaport, the elevated acre, and other parts of downtown NYC.
Here are some of my favorite shots from the day. For a whole round-up of the shots from the day, check out the hashtag #rainrisenyc on Instagram!

Fatal wreck blocks I-95 ramp from I-295
Updated On: May 24 2013 06:10:20 PM EDT
The ramp from Interstate 295 to Interstate 95 south on Jacksonville's Northside was blocked for hours Friday afternoon after a collision between tractor-trailer hit a dump truck.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol report, the 18-wheel auto hauler driven by 42-year-old Osmani Venzant, of Miami, began to merge left to take the I-95 ramp, but its left side struck the right front of the dump truck, causing the dump truck into the guard rail, which crushed the front end and caused it to overturn, spilling its load.
The driver, Fate Johnson, 68, of Jacksonville, was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to the report, charges are pending.
Troopers say they received a call about the wreck just before 1 p.m. Because the cab of the dump truck was crushed, it took hours to get the victim out of the cab and to clean up the spilled load. The ramp did not reopen until after 5 p.m.

With fall upon us, out come the sweaters, colorful leaves, and MASSIVE amounts of Autumn inspired food appearing in the blogosphere! Not wanting to leave our blog out of all the action, I present to you Halloween Pumpkin Pasta! As I was actually shopping for some new fall clothes (think thick plaid button-up shirts, and comfy sweaters) when I came across this awesome looking pasta. With our other ventures into striped pasta garnering an impressive number of hits, I knew this had to be blogged! Of course, I wanted to make something in the spirit of the season, so instead of a typical pasta sauce, I gave a pumpkin based sauce a go!

Bavarian Police Seeking Skype Trojan Informant
kdawson posted more than 6 years ago | from the heavy-hand dept.252
Andreaskem writes "Bavarian police searched the home of the spokesman for the German Pirate Party (Piratenpartei Deutschland) looking for an informant who leaked information about a government Trojan used to eavesdrop on Skype conversations. (The link is a Google translation of the German original.) There is a high probability that the Trojan is used illegally. A criminal law specialist said, 'The Bavarian authorities worked on the Trojan without a legitimate basis and now try to silence critics.' The informant need not worry since 'every information that could be used to identify him' is protected against unauthorized access by strong encryption. The Trojan is supposedly capable of eavesdropping on Skype conversations and obtaining technical details of the Skype client being used. It is deployed by e-mail or in place by the police. A Pirate Party spokesman said, 'Some of our officials seem to want to install the Big Brother state without the knowledge of the public.'"

BUFFALO (WKBW) The February thaw plus a steady rainfall is once again bringing up flooding issues across the region.
Residents in South Buffalo who live near Cazenovia Creek woke up to a pretty calm scene, with ice still in once sheet and water levels near normal, but know that things can change quickly.
"It's scary. It gets frightful but we live with it. I've been here 65 years and it gets scary but it's not that bad," resident Jim Fredenburg said.
The sound of water draining into a storm sewer is a good sound to hear on Lexington Green in West Seneca, where neighbors are still cleaning up from massive flooding during January's big thaw.
Just a block away, Gary Saracina is watching Buffalo Creek, which flows right though his back yard.
"Just waiting to see what happens. i mean we can't stop it. mother nature is going to do what it's going to do and we're just hoping for the best," he said.
Flooding also continues to be a concern in Clarence, where creeks and streams near Goodrich Road have well overflowed their banks.
And as the thaw continues and the rain continues to fall, Erie County Emergency Services is keeping a watchful eye on all of it.
"So far today at lunchtime, things are looking good. There are those nuisance areas that whether we had ice jam or just two inches of rain, you're going to have problems," Commissioner Dan Neavereth said.
Stay with Eyewitness News for updates throughout the weekend on the thaw and flooding concerns.

Threaded View
4 Oct 2012 2:40 PM #11
My rule of thumb for putting code as overrides in a view is whether or not the code requires knowledge of the component's DOM elements so that controllers can stay focused on application logic and designers can tweak DOM manipulations, for example if the view used a custom template. I try to limit the view functions to overrides of template methods and the automagic config accessors (usually update*). If you need your controller to listen to events from any custom elements in your view, override the initEvents template method (be sure to callParent) to hook up mini listeners that translate page events to application events, e.g.:
config: { users: null } ,tpl: '<tpl for="users">{fullname}</tpl>' ,initEvents: function() { var me = this; me.callParent(); // use delegate event on persistent common element instead of attaching to individual identical or transient elements me.el.on('click', function(ev, t) { ev.stopEvent(); me.fireEvent('userClick', me, t.hash.substr(1), ev, t); // first param should always be the thing firing the event, then any meaningful information you can extract from ev or t, and finally all the original DOM event parameters }, me, {delegate: 'a.user'}); } // override the autocreated empty updateUsers method, it gets called when your controller calls setUsers or passes in a users config when creating the component ,updateUsers: function(users) { this.update({users: users}); }Chief Architect @ Jarv.us Innovations

I finally have inspiration to blog, which gives me some sort of self absorbed satisfaction I suppose.
*this is part one of a series of blogs about my never ending struggle to be happy*
John Locke once said that man has three unalienable rights; Life, liberty and estate, Thomas Jefferson would later change it to; Life, Liberty, AND the pursuit of happiness.
Today in my life, in all of our crazy messed up teenage lives, all we want is to be happy, to be accepted, to be loved, to know that, if we died today, someone would be in tears tomorrow.
It would be foolish to say that we as people are naturally happy, or that we make ourselves happy….cuz if that were the case, wouldn't we all just stay at home with ourselves every day?
It's called the PURSUIT of happiness…as in; we as people need to look for it, chase after it, and strive for it.
Now, what is it that we find happiness in?
· Religion?
· Drugs?
· Sex?
· Love?
· Family?
· Friends?
Whether proscriptive, or prescriptive, I would argue all are vices…as in no one needs them to survive, however I would also argue that all make living life a whole lot easier. Happiness doesn't just come to you, you don't just become happy, happiness is work; sadly this little truth had eluded me for too long until recently.
Happiness is an emotion, and you feel emotions through a release of chemicals from your brain, these chemicals come from various glands that are triggered through various things, like when you hear certain words, smell a certain odor, see someone or something you value or despise, or hell even touching someone/ something. Others would say that it's through your own independent thought that triggers these chemicals, like, you tell yourself that you're happy, and your happy, tell yourself you're sad, and you're sad, and so on….
Always look on the brighter side of life
I'm not a very happy person, im super cynical, and a pessimist, but…in 100% honesty, its by my choice, I choose to look at the world this way, because that's how I see it, as a shitty existence..However this past week, I've come to realize that by switching perspective, my emotions changed. This week I've been thrown a lot of curve balls, but somehow I've managed to keep and overall positive outlook, because I kept going over all the things im grateful for….and before doing it I thought it was the stupidest thing, but now, its something that really keeps my head up. When ever I would get sad, I just took time out to think about times I was happy, and I assume that its those thoughts that triggered those chemicals, and gradually, I felt better. Now im not saying that do this and BAM youre happy, I was never 100% happy by this, but it made the sadness bearable. The gratefuls come from an activity in class that my teacher makes me do, (Interpersonal communications, ms. Mcdaniel.) and im going to share with you my very first five gratefuls, and by writting these things down, its just gotten me through the days.
5 gratefuls
Thats it, 5 simple little things, a soda, a tv show, a place to sleep, and my girlfriend, thats all i could think of…it tooke me 15 minutes to think of these 5 things, and after i did, i realized how much impact they have on how i feel, so im going to end this by giving yall a challenge….
write down 5 things your grateful for. then individually think of why youre grateful for these things…and i assure you, youll be a lot less sad afterwards then if you didnt.
and always keep in mind, Happiness doesnt come to you, its a never ending pursuit

The internet's abuzz tonight after a video has surfaced showing a Laguna Blue 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 testing on the famous Nurburgring. The Corvette is shown making some fast runs through several turns with a helmeted driver and a co-pilot. Could it be that GM Engineers are doing some testing in Germany?
Tadge Juechter
Chevrolet has already unveiled the most fuel-efficient Corvette in history, the 2014 Corvette Stingray with direct injection and cylinder deactivation.
But the automaker may have some more tricks up its sleeves to squeeze even more miles out of every tank of gas going through the Stingray.
Autoweek was among the group of publications that recently took part in the 2014 Corvette Stingray drive experience held at the Milford Proving Grounds. Their review of the Stingray was published last week and is very favorable to the Stingray. Now we have the video from Autoweek showing many of the on-track exercises they were able to put the Corvette Stingray through.
The last piece of performance information we've been waiting on for the new 2014 Corvette Stingray has been the EPA fuel economy numbers. GM is now confirming that the 2014 Corvette Stingray equipped with the 455 horsepower LT1 and a 7-speed manual transmission gets an EPA-estimated 17 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg highway.
That makes the Corvette Stingray the most efficient sports car on the market today. No other sports car offers more than 455 horsepower and greater than 29 mpg highway.
Chevrolet released the performance estimates this morning for the all new 2014 Corvette Stingray and we guarantee that these numbers will sure make a lot of folks happy! We've been told that new "base" Stingray would be right up there in C6 Z06 territory and it looks like that claim is mostly spot on! Equipped with the Z51 performance package, the new C7 Corvette has a 3.8 second 0-60 mph estimate, and in the quarter miles does 12.0 seconds at 119 mph!
Callaway Corvettes have a long history with Chevrolet's sports car.
To commemorate that history that goes all the way back to 1987, Callaway's Dealer Program Manager Chris Chessnoe gave key members of the Corvette engineering, product management, and production staff a copy of a new book by Reeves Callaway.
Last Friday at the National Corvette Museum's Bash Event, Corvette Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter and Product Manager Harlan Charles delivered their 2014 Corvette Stingray seminar to a capacity crowd. With so much information coming out about the new Corvette, the seminar lasted nearly two full hours!
Like previous years, the seminar also gave us the highlights and some final numbers on the current model year (2013) before delving into the new Stingray content. And because pricing for the Stingray was announced just an hour before the event started, we get to hear the Corvette Team's first official comments on the manufacturers suggested retail pricing of $51,995 for the 1LT Coupe and $56,995 for the 1LT Convertible.
The Corvette Museum's Annual Bash was in full swing on Friday and the biggest crowds were always around the 2014 Corvette Stingray Coupe and Convertible on display in the conference room.
But that didn't mean there weren't any other new Stingrays in the vicinity. This is Vette City after all. Hunting down the new model cars at the factory or around town is an annual pastime but this year it was made much easier as we got directions to where we could find them from Corvette Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter.
Last week we attended the New York Auto Show and were able to see the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. It made its American debut wearing Night Race Blue with the 3LT Brownstone interior. While We were very impressed by the new convertible model and its distinct "Corvette" profile, it was the interior that had us wagging our tongues. If you were impressed by the previous C7 interiors you've seen, the 3LT Brownstone redefines the standard of luxury available on the new Corvette.
It seems that where ever the 2014 Corvette Stingray goes, there's an unveiling. Last weekend in the Corvette Corral tent at the 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't any different.
With Corvette Chief Engineer beginning his discussion about the next generation car, Corvette Product Manager Harlan Charles and Corvette Assembly Plant Manager Dave Tatman pulled the cover off the Cyber Gray Corvette Stingray Coupe to a huge round of applause (and a few tears) from the enthusiasts in the crowd.

Mother of Many
For peace of mind each evening she would have a physician give her a run down on everyone's health of that day. When certain visitors were at court, however, Maria Theresa would have the whole family dine together, a treat for the younger children who did not often get to do so.

Marie Antoinette also maintained that Maria Theresa didn't exactly inspire feelings of love from her children, admitting that she was always in fear and awe of her mother. MT was very hard on her children, especially the girls. She herself had married for love, but she sure as heck wasn't about to waste valuable political alliances by allowing her daughters to do so. She even pressured her eldest son, Joseph, to make a second marriage to a woman he cared nothing for, in order to secure a key ally.ReplyDelete
