I have always like Bobby, but I can believe that he has not sent Penny home. She has the worst personality I have ever seen. If Penny wins I will not watch her show, and will feel a great shame for Foodnetwork, that have to let her win, she will cause foodnetwork to loose more viewers than you think.
My idea exactly. Penny is a horrid person, I also would not begin to watch a show with her in the kitchen. She may cook but who needs to watch someone that smashes people on her road to sucess.
It is a requirement that I like the person who I am watching on TV and I do not like Penny. I would never watch her show because she is mean AND NOT MISUNDERSTOOD as some might claim. I sure hope that the Food Network Executives are reading our blogs. Penny says she is confident; but her insecurity shows week after week. If she were "confident" then there would be no reason to say so. She is so pathetic.
I just joined because of all the comments i have read. I so agree with them. Why is PENNY still here?? I can't imagine watching any show she would have. Her cooking could never be good enough for me to have to listen to her or look at her. She has a trashy mouth along with the trashy dress. I imagine its to late for the outcome of the show BUT i am sure food Network certsainly would know what a mistake it would be if they do have her a winner. NOONE can be that dense not to have pick up on the way she is.
I forgot to mention in my comments about the way she dresses…sorry but this is not the show to have your boobs hanging out all the time. It's not attractive and I'm a man and I love women just not this one. She is the queen of RUDE!!!
Well I joined just so I could comment about Penny and I see that I'm echoing what everyone else is saying. By the end of the first show I know she would NOT host any show that I would watch. She started out from the first show talking about how sexy she is and I find it very unattractive for a woman to tell me how sexy she is…she lost me from day one. Whitney is extremely sexy and she has never once said a word about it. I am amazed that Penny is still on this show, are the judges just keeping her there for the drama? If she wins I assure you that I will not watch her show and I will lose all respect for the judges.
Yahoo! Penny is gone and I won't have to worry about watching her (or avoiding her) on the tv. Let's go Whitney!!
i agree, what a person thinks she can go in and treat people like that. yes and now i will keep watching. yes,yes, there is a god. and a screeming meeooowww to her.
When I first saw this title Food Network Star Premieres This Sunday | FN Dish – Food Network Blog on google I just whent and bookmark it. I appreciate, cause I found just what I was looking for. You have ended my 4 day long hunt! God Bless you man. Have a nice day. Bye

As first reported by THN.com, the Washington Capitals and right winger Eric Fehr avoided arbitration when Fehr signed a two-year deal with the Capitals Thursday worth $4.4 million.
Fehr, who had career highs of 21 goals and 39 points in 69 games in 2009-10, made $772,000, which means he received almost a 200 percent raise on his previous salary.
The Capitals also avoided arbitration by signing defenseman Jeff Schultz to a four-year deal worth $11 million Wednesday, meaning winger Tomas Fleischmann is the only Capitals restricted free agent who filed for arbitration still to sign.

Adonis Filer to transfer from Clemson
Apr 13, 2014, 6:30 PM EST
Sophomore guard Adonis Filer has decided to leave Clemson, the school announced on Sunday evening.
The 6-foot-2 Filer averaged 3.9 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game for the Tigers, who reached the NIT semifinals this season. Those numbers were down from his freshman season averages of 6.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game in 2012-2013.
"I learned a lot in Coach [Brad] Brownell's system," Filer said in a statement released by the school. "He taught me how to be a better player. I will miss my teammates; we grew to be friends and are like brothers. I wish them nothing but success next season and beyond."
The departure of Filer helps solve a scholarship dilemma for the program, leaving one available for leading scorer K.J. McDaniels, who is projected as a first round pick according to DraftExpress.com's latest mock draft. While the ACC Defensive Player of the Year weighs his options, Brownell will return several important pieces, such as Rod Hall and Damarcus Harrison, from this season's 23-13 (10-8 ACC) team.
Filer was a three-star recruit coming out of Notre Dame Prep (Mass.) in 2012, committed to Clemson over offers from Baylor and Oregon State. He will sit out the upcoming season and have two years of eligibility remaining.

William Blake Beckett
Biography of William Blake Beckett
(Firstly, if you ever have any questions regarding the meaning of a particular part of a poem or the poem as a whole, feel free to contact me.)
I am an eighteen-year-old American college student currently in Oxford, Mississippi.
I am six feet tall and 185 pounds, give or take five or so.
I enjoy watching anime, reading, writing poetry, playing football (obviously) , eating, hanging around friends, playing video games, designing graphics (like my account's avatar) , and more of your average guy stuff (well, eating is normal, anyway) .
I am shy in real life, but under the masks of a pen name and the internet, I tend to open up. Otherwise I must get to know you first.
Currently a student in the Sally McDonnel-Barksdale Honors College at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) .
I have a sometimes over-zealous sense of justice and pride, but can both make and take jokes.
Reading one's poetry is a good way to get to know a person, but I will also chat if you wish. Just don't hold your breath on catching me online often, since my jobs keep me busy outside of school.

A Child's Fragile Mind
Oh great-grandpa,
gone in a flash,
Survived three wars,
always under attack.
Fought under pressure,
never did he crack.
Gone with the wind,
and not coming back.
'Old age', they said,
as I started to cry.
'Who's next? ' I wondered
'Who's next to die? '

Our staff isn't optimistic about this weekend's game vs. Michigan State.
Due to Wednesday's snow, Penn State announced today that the overnight RV lot will be closed Friday night prior to the Nittany Lions' matchup with Michigan State.
Finally, somebody from the football team is being recognized by the national media for their effort this season.
If what Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said in his Tuesday press conference holds merit, then the future is as bright as ever for Penn State. "I think Penn State itself, Coach Franklin, has a football team that's been extremely close. A lot of parallels probably with our season in 2012, losing a number of games by a total of 15 points," Dantonio said. "Maybe four games."
James Franklin had a slew of topics to discuss with reporters on Tuesday at his weekly press conference, but his stance on the controversial decision to punt rather than go for it on fourth down late against Illinois, along with notes about senior day, highlighted them all.
If Bills owner and Penn State meagdonor Terry Pegula got his way, Beaver Stadium would have played host to the Buffalo Bills-New York Jets game.
Penn State took the field today riding the momentum of bowl eligibility, and took on a 4-6 Illinois that has only won two Big Ten games in the last three years. On paper, Penn State should have emerged from this one victorious. If only that was the case.
Penn State's defense entered the game in the top five nationally in many statistical categories. However, when it matter most on the game's final drive, it couldn't finish.
Here's the official drinking game for today's game vs. Illinois. Enjoy!
Our staff thinks that Illinois coach Tim Beckman will fall to 0-3 against the Nittany Lions in his career.

Tips For Landing The Job
Apr 11, 2012 The Work At Home Mum
While not all work-at-home jobs will require interviewing or proposal creation skills, many will. If you've decided you'd like to work for a company that hires at-home employees or on contract for someone locally, for example, you'll want to brush up your interviewing skills. Should you be planning on Internet-based freelancing, you'll need to know how to present yourself in the best possible light through proposals.
Getting A Handle On Face-To-Face Interviewing
If you haven't interviewed for a position before or it's been a long time, there are some tips that can help you put your best foot forward. To make sure you do the best you can in any interview situation:
Dress the part
While it might not be necessary to wear a power suit and pumps for every interview, dress neat, clean and professionally. First impressions do matter.
Do your homework
Be ready to answer a variety of questions both job-related and otherwise. Understand the position, the company and what your role might be before going in the door. Also, it's a good idea to prepare for anything that might be thrown your way. Plan for a one-on-one interview, but don't lose your cool if it turns out to be a panel. Just breathe and be yourself.
Make eye contact
This is essential for sending the right message to potential employers. This can help you gain a reputation of being confident, competent and honest – all things employers look for even in at-home workers.
Have a home setup well under way
While you might not need a home office or a good computer setup before you land a position, having plans in the works can give you the edge of initiative you need.
Try to be as relaxed and confident as possible during any job interview. This will help you answer questions more thoroughly and can also assist you in making a good impression. Even if the position is your "dream," don't psych yourself out by thinking it will be the end of the world if you don't get it. This will undermine confidence and will likely give you a tense appearance.
Sell yourself
Don't be afraid to bring your qualifications, experiences and strengths to the forefront. Remember, an interview is really a sales situation. Rather than a product or service, you will be trying to sell yourself. Perform the task well and you will land the job.
Be honest
Don't try to make yourself out to be more than you are. Be honest in answering questions. If you don't know something, admit it. Stress that you are willing to and capable of learning anything that's thrown your way.
Be realistic
Make sure you are at least reasonably qualified for a position. If the job demands highly specialized skills and you don't have them, it's probably unrealistic to go after the post.
Face-to-face interviews can be rather nerve wracking, but there are ways to ace them. The more prepared and relaxed you are, the better you will come across to potential employers. This can give you the edge you need to bump out the competition.
Landing An Online Job
Interviewing or applying for a job in a virtual setting can be a little trickier. While some positions might also include a face-to-face interview, many do not. This means you'll often have to sell yourself based on credentials and written communications alone. There are some tips that can help you perform here. They include:
Prepare proposals with care
Since it's very likely that you'll have to land the job on written materials alone, putting proposals together right will be imperative. Make sure you take the time to update your resume and qualifications, review your proposal and only offer what you can truly deliver. If you're planning on freelancing, keep your bidding prices competitive.
Make yourself available for follow up
Some freelance employers like to interview candidates on the phone or in chat rooms. Make sure you are available to speak when necessary.
Follow through
Once proposals are submitted, it can be a good idea to follow up with a potential employer and make yourself available to answer any questions. If you're bidding through a freelance matching service this might not be possible, but in other arenas it can be a valuable habit to get into.
Interviewing for a full-time position or even a freelance contract can be a little overwhelming. The more prepared you are for what to expect, the better you are likely to do. With a little confidence, you will make good things happen for yourself.

A judge has found that two news organisations improperly used images that a photojournalist had posted to Twitter in one of the first big tests of intellectual property law involving social media.
Agence France-Presse and The Washington Post infringed on the copyrights of photographer Daniel Morel in using pictures he took in the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake in January 2010, District Judge Alison Nathan in Manhattan ruled.
While AFP had argued that once the pictures appeared on Twitter they were freely available, the judge said that Twitter's terms of service did not give the news agency a license to publish the images without Morel's permission.
The judge, in a decision released late on Monday, partially granted Morel's summary judgement motion but also limited damages he could potentially recover. Several other issues in the case were left to be decided at trial. A trial date has not been set.
The case has garnered wide interest because it is one of the first to address how images that users make available to the public through social media can be used by third parties for commercial purposes.
Though this case began in 2010, ownership of content on social media continues to be a hot-button issue. Last month, Facebook's photo sharing site, Instagram, became the subject of public outcry after users interpreted changes in its terms of service to mean Instagram could sell their pictures without permission. Within days, Instagram backed away from some of the planned changes.
In the Morel case, the photographer put the Haiti images on Twitter, and they were then disseminated widely after an AFP editor discovered them through another Twitter user's account, according to the ruling.
AFP distributed several of the pictures to Getty Images, the ruling said. The Washington Post, a Getty client, published four of the images on its website, according to the ruling.
Getty is part of the litigation but the judge did not make any determination on the photographer's allegations of copyright infringement against it, noting that there were other issues yet to be resolved.
AFP had argued that Twitter's terms of service granted it the right to use Morel's images.
The judge, though, said that while the service terms do allow the reposting and rebroadcasting of users' images in certain circumstances, such as "retweeting" them, it does not grant a license for commercial use.
Attorneys for AFP were not immediately available for comment. The Washington Post, a unit of The Washington Post Co, and Getty also did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Joseph Baio, a partner at Willkie, Farr & Gallagher who represents Morel, said the ruling proves that images taken from Twitter without permission cannot be used for commercial purposes and that the trial will determine the consequences for doing so.
Twitter was not a party in the case. "As has always been our policy, Twitter users own their photos," a Twitter spokesman said.
In the ruling, Nathan narrowed what Morel can recover from AFP and Getty for distributing the images.
While Morel had requested what the court said would amount to "tens or hundreds of millions of dollars" in statutory damages based on awards for each subscriber that used the images, the judge said AFP and Getty would only be liable, at most, for a single statutory damage award per image infringed.
AFP initiated the lawsuit in March 2010 to get a ruling that it wasn't infringing on copyrights after Morel had accused AFP of improper use of his pictures. Morel countersued AFP, Getty and The Washington Post.
The judge refused to grant Morel's motion for summary judgement on whether AFP, Getty and The Washington Post acted willfully, as well as whether the media companies violated Morel's rights under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The act prohibits providing or distributing false copyright information in order to conceal copyright infringement.
The case is Agence France Presse v Morel, US District Court for the Southern District of New York, No 10-02730.

I just recently tried to do this on my iPad but it didn't work. It said it wasn't charging, but it was doing a trickle charge as if it was plugged into the PC. I was just using a little 3 foot USB 2.0 extender, but again doesn't work with the iPad
Posted 07 January 2013 - 17:02
To the dude who commented on his iPad not charging - not all pins were connected. That would have been a sync cable not a sync'n'charge cable. On Android, it's usually a more common usb cable so no such worries.

My dog ate my charger cord, and I had some spare 3 or 4 feet (not sure which, it's been a while back) usb 2.0 extension cables laying around....so I ended up soldering together an extension into my factory USB cable, which made it around 6 feet long or so, and works like a charm! Then, I thought...well, this could work...so I plugged in another 3 foot extension into my wall wart, plugged my droid into the "franken-cable", if you will, and now I have about 9~ish feet of cord for when I can't be right beside a plug in, for example. It works without any problems.
If you have to buy one you might consider a USB 3.0 cable so that it will work with many different devices. As a example the ASUS TF requires a 3.0 cable due to a special charging design.
Don't charge it with a RED SHIRT!!!! I WARN YOU!!!

In the early hours of February 8, the Oil Tanker MV Savina Caylyn was pirated approximately 670 nautical miles East of Socotra Island in the Indian Ocean. The vessel was boarded after a sustained attack by one skiff with 5 suspected pirates firing small arms and four rocket propelled grenades. The MV Savina Caylyn has a deadweight of 104,255 tonnes and is Italian flagged and owned. The vessel was on passage to Pasir Gudang (Malaysia) from Bashayer (Sudan) when it was attacked. There is presently no communication with the vessel and no information regarding the condition of the crew of 22 (five Italian and 17 Indian). The MV Savina Caylyn had registered with MSC(HOA) and was reporting to the UKMTO. EUNAVFOR are monitoring the situation.

Emirates renew PSG shirt sponsorship deal
PARIS (Reuters) - French league champions Paris St Germain and Dubai airline Emirates extended their shirt sponsorship deal by another five years on Friday.
Despite maintaining a relationship between the two parties that dates back to 2006, neither PSG president Nasser al-Khelaifi nor Emirates executive vice-president Thierry Antinori were prepared to reveal the official value of the agreement.
However, Antinori did say the amount was "a three-digit figure, so between 100 and 999 million euros" over five years as Emirates will be the only sponsor to appear on the PSG shirt next season.
According to media reports, the agreement was worth around 25 million euros a year, still significantly below the more lucrative shirt sponsorship deals in the English Premier League. (Reporting by Julien Pretot; Editing by John O'Brien)

MTV Sets 'Teen Wolf' Season 3 Return for June
The series will debut the first half of its 24-episode season this summer.
MTV has set a date for the season-three return of Teen Wolf.
The hit scripted drama will air the first half of its super-sized 24-episode season beginning Monday, June 3 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, the network announced Tuesday.
PHOTOS: The Scene at Comic-Con
This season will be the first to have shot in Los Angeles and will see star Colton Haynes, who played lacrosse captain Jackson Whitmore, departing the series. The actor can now be seen on The CW's Arrow.
According to a release, the storyline will pick up three months after the events of the season-two finale, which left Jackson nearly dead and resurrected baddie werewolf Peter Hale (Ian Bohen). Scott McCall (Tyler Posey), Stiles (Dylan O'Brien), Lydia Martin (Holland Roden) and Allison Argent (Crystal Reed) begin their junior year of high school, unaware of the new pack of Alpha wolves infiltrating Beacon Hills. Their objective: to bring Derek Hale (Tyler Hoechlin) into their group.
PHOTOS: Teen Choice Awards 2012
Season three also has a new crop of characters entering the fold, including twin Alphas Ethan and Aiden, played by Charlie and Max Carver; Gideon Emery as Deucalion, leader of the new Alphas; Felisha Terrell as an Alpha; and Adelaide Kane as Cora, a tough 17-year-old with ties to the Beacon Hills werewolves.

Shares of Groupon Inc. fell to a record low after Barclays Plc cut the price estimate and rating for the stock, citing the potential for increasing marketing costs and narrowing profit margins amid sales of discounted items.
Chicago-based Groupon dropped 2.4 percent to $4.54 at the close in New York. The stock has lost 77 percent since an initial public offering in November. Barclays downgraded its recommendation on the shares to the equivalent of a sell, and lowered the price estimate to $4 from $15.
Groupon is one of several Internet stocks, including Facebook Inc., to come under pressure after the lifting of lock- up periods, which bar insiders from selling shortly after initial public offerings. At Groupon, slowing customer growth is leading to higher marketing costs, while an expansion beyond daily-deals into sales of discounted merchandise is threatening profit margins, according to Mark May, an analyst at Barclays.
"The majority of Groupon's growth is coming from lower- margin product sales, and as such, the company's business model could be undergoing a meaningful transition that persists and creates uncertainty," May said in a research report today.
The company makes money by selling discounts -- known as Groupons -- from businesses such as restaurants and nail salons. It then splits the revenue with the retailers. Groupon earlier this month reported second-quarter revenue that missed estimates due to economic weakness in Europe.
Groupon Goods
A larger portion of sales in the quarter came from Groupon Goods, an e-commerce site for marked-down products. The service made up most of the company's $65.4 million in direct revenue, which more than tripled from $19.2 million in the first quarter, Chief Financial Officer Jason Child said on a conference call with analysts.
A lock-up for Groupon shares expired on June 1, the company said in a May regulatory filing.
Groupon backers Battery Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz have divested their stakes, joining a group of early investors who have sold the stock, contributing to a continued slump.
Battery sold all of its 15.99 million shares earlier this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Andreessen Horowitz sold its 5.1 million shares in June, said a person with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be named because the sale wasn't publicly disclosed.
Other pre-IPO investors who have sold Groupon include Fidelity Management & Research, which trimmed its stake by 6.2 million shares to 13.2 million in the quarter ended in June, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Maverick Capital reduced its holdings by 4.35 million shares to 1.98 million over that period, the data show. Kinnevik Investment AB said in June that it divested its direct holding in Groupon of 8.4 million shares.

Sir Ian Fraser
Soldier who left Reuters for a meteoric City career
Monday 12 May 2003
The first director-general of the Panel on Take-overs and Mergers, and later a chairman of Rolls-Royce Motors and Lazard Brothers, Ian Fraser came of warrior Highland and Roman Catholic stock.
Ian James Fraser, journalist, banker and businessman: born Moniack, Inverness-shire 7 August 1923; MC 1945; Director-General, Panel on Take-overs and Mergers 1969-72; chairman, Rolls Royce Motors 1971-80; CBE 1972; chairman, Datastream 1976-77; Chairman, City Capital Markets Committee 1974-78; chairman, Lazard Brothers 1980-89; deputy chairman, Vickers 1980-89; Chairman, Accepting Houses Committee 1981-85; deputy chairman, TSB Group 1985-91; Kt 1986; married 1958 Anne Grant (died 1984; two sons, two daughters), 1993 Fiona Martin (née Douglas-Home); died Taunton 8 May 2003.
The first director-general of the Panel on Take-overs and Mergers, and later a chairman of Rolls-Royce Motors and Lazard Brothers, Ian Fraser came of warrior Highland and Roman Catholic stock.
An uncle was killed at Ypres in 1914, his father painfully wounded at Gallipoli the following year. His first cousin was the 15th Lord ("Shimi") Lovat, the renowned Commando leader of the Second World War, while another cousin, Veronica, a war widow, was married subsequently to Fitzroy Maclean, dropped by Churchill into Tito's wartime Yugoslavia. Out of a school class of 17, four of Fraser's contemporaries were to die in the Second World War. He himself won the MC with the Scots Guards in Italy; mentioned in despatches, he was captured, and escaped, at Salerno in 1943, and was several times wounded.
Fraser was born in 1923 at Moniack, on the Beauly River in Inverness-shire, a house which had been in the family for 600 years. (Of his Fraser antecedents, Ian used to joke that they, fortunately, missed the Battle of Culloden by tarrying on the way.)
He attended Ampleforth College and Magdalen, Oxford, but his studies were interrupted by the war. His tutor – A.J.P. Taylor – reckoned he would otherwise certainly have got a First. In 1946 he joined Reuters as foreign correspondent in Paris, earning £600 a year, and was later transferred to Bonn, where he became bureau chief for eight years.
In 1956 he left to join Warburgs in the City, and from then on his ascent was meteoric. From Warburgs he was picked by the Prime Minister Harold Wilson to be Director-General of the new Panel on Take-overs and Mergers in 1969; the belief being that someone with Fraser's acute intellect and military training could bring discipline into the jungle that was London corporate finance.
Among numerous other directorships he was chairman of Rolls-Royce Motors from 1971 to 1980 and then of Lazards, from which he retired at the age of 62 in 1985.
In 1958, he had married Anne Grant, a niece by marriage of Evelyn Waugh. She was 19, he was 35; in his memoirs he described her as "tall and straight as a daffodil", and she brought him 26 years of blissfully happy marriage, two sons and two daughters. Then, with tragic suddenness, Anne died of a heart attack while tending her horse in Devon, in 1984: she was still in her forties.
For a long time Ian was inconsolable, living "a hermitic existence" on his farm in Somerset. Then, after 10 years of solitude, renewed happiness came to him in the shape of a second marriage to a fellow Scot and Catholic, Fiona Martin, a niece of Lord Home of the Hirsel, the former prime minister Sir Alec Douglas-Home. But the stress of the war, a frenetic City life and the hardships of a solitary existence caught up with him and he was stricken by serious heart trouble, never to relinquish its grip in his last years.
Fraser published his autobiography, The High Road to England (derived from a well-known passage of Dr Johnson, most uncomplimentary to the Scots), in 1999. Reading the wartime chapters, I found his descriptions of a 20-year-old platoon commander slogging up through Italy just about the best I had ever read.
I first knew Ian Fraser as a fellow foreign correspondent when I was working for The Daily Telegraph in Bonn in the 1950s. Over many evenings we would exchange reminiscences of our wartime experiences, often in the company of German friends who had fought bravely on the "wrong side". Yet never once, until I read his memoirs four decades later, did I have any idea of the sheer hell his war in Italy – virtually a military side-show – had been. Of the last months of the war in the freezing Apennines, he writes:
The cold, the wet, the endless nagging fear of death or mutilation are memories that never leave any of us who went through that dreadful winter.
After the war he calculated that his élite regiment, always in the van, had suffered almost as many officer deaths as in the slaughter of 1914-18.
Fraser spoke flawless German, almost equally good French and Italian, and had an academic's command of Latin. He liked, and admired, the Germans, but was swift to laugh at such national foibles as their obsession with petty legalism. A newcomer in an adjacent newspaper office, I owed much to his "nose" for a good story, and his instinct for detail; he gave me invaluable help with my first book, Back into Power (1955), about contemporary Germany.
He had one of the quickest minds I ever met, claiming that – aged three – he could play a "fair hand" of bridge. As with some other Fraser assertions, one took this with several grains of salt; another tall anecdote was of his kinsman the marvellously eccentric Iain Moncreiffe of that Ilk, who persuaded Ian that he had to sleep with two large blocks of wood under his bed – because he had a "dropped stomach – like all Moncreiffes".
"What's dropped stomach?" asked Fraser.
"You have 27 feet of long gut in your stomach. We have only 12 feet because an ancestor got the pox at the siege of Naples in 1498, and we've all had dropped stomachs ever since."
Fraser had a special way of telling a "whopper" to catch out the unwary, prefacing it with ". . . as everybody knows", then looking out of the corner of his eyes, or down a drooping cigarette, to see who was taken in. And woe betide! He was intolerant of stupidity, and the phoney; those who didn't know him could find him arrogant, but with it went a deep streak of kindness, and huge sense of fun. In Germany he was much tickled by the fancy that all his fellow correspondents (bar himself) were "spies" – working for one or other Allied intelligence. Maybe he was right; in the days of the Cold War journalists may have been more disreputable, or patriotic – depending on how you look at it.
He was treated shabbily by the then Reuters regime, which kept him on in Bonn with gilded promises of elevation. It was Reuters' loss. In 1956, he quit and returned to London. In his mid-thirties he had no job – and no wife. It was a risky decision; second son of a younger son of a Catholic family with more children than cash, he had no resources to fall back on. Then, suddenly, with the opening at Warburgs, and meeting Anne, everything fell into place.
Coming from the "Economic Miracle" that was Ludwig Erhard's 1950s Germany, Fraser brought with him a healthy contempt for the incompetent "squires" then managing British industry, coupled with the "lead weight of English trade unionism". He lashed out at the managerial inefficiency he found – by comparison with Germany. Again, some thought him arrogant, but he was generally in the right. Appalled by what he had seen of the technical inferiority of British tanks during the war, he attempted to use this to shock Rolls-Royce out of its lethargy when he took charge in the 1970s. Clearly, however, it proved too much for him, and he was saddened to see this flagship of British industry taken over by a German manufacturer of popular cars.
One of Fraser's earliest "scoops" as a journalist was the discovery that a certain Captain Robert Maxwell was using his Occupation status to smuggle vast quantities of gold out of Central Europe. Because of the threat of libel, it was a "scoop" he couldn't print. The day of reckoning, however, came 30 years later when the "Bouncing Czech" came before Fraser's takeover panel, in a series of "collisions" that were to presage the eventual fall of Maxwell – whom Fraser considered "the most evil person".
Fraser's knighthood came in 1986, but by then Fortune had rounded on him. First came the heartbreaking death of his wife, Anne; followed almost immediately – having made "a little money" – by crippling Lloyd's losses. With his ever-active, restless mind, he hated leisure – or otium as he noted the Romans called it. Retirement, tending his sheep in some isolation in Somerset, never quite suited him. Despite the loving care of his second wife, Fiona, with illness came the Scottish "black dog" of acute depression. Deeply clannish as he was, he felt painfully the tragic collapse of the Lovat dynasty, forced to sell everything in the Highlands because of a series of deaths and mismanagements.
In what he once anticipated as the "final battle action", though illness had all but destroyed his body, the warrior attribute of the Frasers triumphed. For many painful weeks he fought the inevitable with extraordinary willpower. If nothing else, courage never deserted him.
