Everybody is searching for bedroom decorating ideas and we think the color purple is going to be one of the hottest colors for 2014. So we decided to bring together our collection of the greatest blends of purple and lavender bedding sets we could find.
Now purple is such a vibrant color but it creates a warm feeling in a bedroom. This gives you options like going for an urban look or possibly a soft floral. We are going to walk you through this by describing a little bit about each of these bedding sets including who makes them and we've got a link below each bedroom if you would like to learn some more about that set.
Our choice for boldest design goes to the St. Petersburg comforter set by Kathy Ireland. This combination of warm fall colors will leave you looking forward to curling up at night. The Rainier comforter set from Jenny George features a plush forest green base color that is embellished with broad stripes of sheer plum, gold , and turquoise color with dazzling metallic silver accents. This unique bedding set from Jenny George has that chic, urban look and feel to create a fashionable flair in your bedroom.
The colors we find in the Sonata seven piece bed in a bag set from Royal Hotel are a combination of violet, purple, and champagne with a combination of lavender, gold, purple and rose colored stitching.
Looking for something with a little more flair of the orient? Then check out the Tokyo purple duvet set we found from Daniadown. This set features a modern foliage design that is printed in today's popular mauve and purple shades on a very pale silvery pink background. This is the perfect botanical silhouette for a beautiful stylish bedroom.
If you are looking for an all in one complete set with beautiful style then be sure and take a closer look at the Linden from Royal Tradition. This eleven piece set includes a complete matching sheet set for mattresses up to 16 inches deep. We liked the color combination of violet, lavender, and purple with lavender stitching. We especially think you will like the trees stitched in lavender shade on the comforter and pillow shams.
We purposefully placed some of our favorite designs toward the bottom of the page so you would have to scroll all the way down and check this one out. We are talking about the Grand Park by Royal Hotel and this one is beautiful. The colors are a combination of violet, lavender, and champagne with lavender and brown floral stitching all across the comforter and accessory pillows.
The Michelle from Royal Tradition is a set unlike anything else we have listed. The Michelle is a rich contemporary color selection of indigo tones with an amethyst design in warm vibrant shades of plum. The duvet cover set is completed with two coordinated pillow shams, two European shams, and two decorative cushions. The overall look of the Michelle is one of simplicity and elegance that will be enjoyed for years to come.
Our final design is that of the Arabesque set from Luxury Home. This one of a kind design features clusters of small flowers atop a rich plum background. This wonderful set is finished with pin tucked accents and coordinating vertical stripes. If you are looking to add a contemporary touch to your bedroom decorating ideas then you will enjoy this charming set.
Well there you have it, be sure and take a closer look at each of these beautiful purple bedroom decorating idea options. By clicking the image description your will be taken to a viewer window that will let you zoom in for a closer look at the fabrics and stitch work that makes each of the bedroom sets so beautiful
As always we happily encourage Pinning your favorite looks for later or to share with friends. Thanks for visiting and we hope you have found some great new bedroom decorating ideas.

GAME RECAP: Indianapolis Colts 35 Detroit Lions 33
Calvin Johnson
Joique Bell
Don Carey
career high 13 catches good for 171 yards and a score in pursuit of GOAT
Just 7 carries but one big 67-yard gaingives him 81 yards on the day
Team high 7 tackles (3 solo, 4 assist) and two interceptions of Luck
The Lions would lose on the last play of the game as Andrew Luck would connect with Donnie Avery from 14 yards out with Detroit falling 35-33 suffering their fourth straight loss. The magical playoff push by the Colts lies in stark contrast to the season that wasn't for Detroit. The rookie sensation quarterback's fourth touchdown
pass of the game would give the surprising Colts their eight win of the season, double that of the 4-8 Lions. Detroit would now have to win its final four games to finish the season at .500, something that doesn't seem likely for a team that keeps finding ways to lose. Calvin Johnson continued his torrent play with a career high 13
catches totaling 171 yards and a score. Johnson is in line to threaten Jerry Rice's single season receiving yardage record. He didn't get much help with rookie Ryan Broyles going down early with a knee injury and Titus Young in the dog house..
The Lions would get the ball first and promptly punt a few plays later. The Colts would gain just one yard on their first drive. The offenses would then decide to show up. Detroit would on the board first thanks to a Jason Hanson field goal. Indianapolis would grab a 7-3 lead after an 80-yard drive would end with a
Andrew Luck touchdown pass. Brandon Pettigrew would put the Lions up front at the end of the quarter with a 17-yard touchdown grab. Mikel Leshoure would add to the Lions lead early in the second quarter with a six-yard touchdown run to cap off a 75-yard drive after going 87-yards the previous drive. Andrew Luck's second
touchdown pass of the half would cut the lead but two more field goals by veteran kicker Jason Hanson would extend the lead to 23-14 at halftime.
The Colts would open the second half with the ball and score a touchdown on an 80-yard drive. The teams would each then trade a pair of possessions. The Lions would reclaim their halftime advantage when Calvin Johnson would catch a 46-yard Stafford bomb and roll into the endzone. A Jason Hanson field goal early in the fourth
quarter would give the Lions a comfortable advantage. For a little while at least. Andrew Luck would throw a 42-yard touchdown with just over four minutes remaining to make things interesting. He would get one more chance with 1:07 left on the clock with the bal sitting on the Colts 25. A 26-yard strike to Reggie Wayne would spark
the comeback attempt. With 18 seconds left the Colts were sitting just 14 yards away from victory. After three straight short incompletions the stage was set. Three seconds, one play. Only one thing separates a 8-4 team from a 4-8 team with one play left and that is exactly what Andrew Luck and Colts did. Score. 35-33, Colts win.
The two teams combined for over 900 yards, each just eclipsing the 450-yard mark. Most of the statistics were fairly even although Detroit held a 37:38 to a 22:22 advantage on the clock. The Lions were only 4-15 on third down attempts although did convert both of their fourth down attempts.
How much heartache can one team endure? Stay tuned.
Megatron on a career reception day.
The Detroit Lions travel to Green Bay to face the Packers next Sunday, December 9 at 8:20 PM.

The gospel truth: What can the gospels teach us about the historical Jesus?
Though the evangelists shouldn't be confused with reporters, they've left clues to the facts behind our biblical faith.
Jesus has his normally crowded itinerary this month. In our Sunday readings he'll be lecturing his disciples on why they don't need more faith--they just need faith. Then he'll be chased by 10 lepers crying out for a miracle. After dispatching them whole, if not unanimously grateful, he'll teach a lesson or two about the importance of prayer. Then that needy tax collector Zacchaeus, dangling from a tree, will catch his attention.

Andre Iguodala wants credit for defense with Nuggets
There. Andre Iguodala said it.
When it came to dividing up the credit for the Nuggets franchise-record 57-win season in 2012-13, Iguodala clearly believes he deserved a bigger piece of that pie, and the former Nuggets forward said as much last week in an interview with Golden State media.
This is mostly about the defense he brought to the table and what it meant to a Nuggets team trying to claw its way among the Western Conference's elite, but it started with an overall comment.
Topic 1: On if he believed he could reach another level individually.
Answer 1: Yeah, definitely. I don't think I've gotten enough credit for what I bring to certain teams, especially last year with the record we had, breaking the franchise record for wins and how we kind of kept everything together and pulled off a great season.

My research interests are in Model Theory: a branch of Mathematical Logic which has connections and interactions with a broad range of other areas of Mathematics. In my work the interactions are mainly with algebra and combinatorics and several of my papers could equally well be described as work on infinite permutation groups: studying the automorphism groups of algebraic and combinatorial structures using a mixture of model-theoretic and algebraic methods, or using model-theoretic constructions to produce infinite permutation groups and combinatorial structures with prescribed properties. Within model theory my interests are currently in stability theory and its generalizations, and Hrushovski constructions.

Efforts to legislate healthcare reform in the United States have been insensitive to significant cultural differences between key players whose competing interests are at stake. Meaningful improvements in cost, quality, and access will not be accomplished until reformers adopt policies that reconcile the underlying culture clashes, beginning with providers and payers.
We have all experienced culture clash, perhaps when we participated in a corporate merger or welcomed an expansion sports franchise to our city. We know intuitively that success or failure of a new venture is ultimately determined by how well leaders manage the transition for competitors who suddenly find themselves on the same team. Failure is almost guaranteed if historical differences between merged stakeholders are not openly and constructively addressed on common grounds.
Unfortunately, oversimplification of healthcare reform over the past year has been pushing the medical marketplace in a counterproductive direction. Reform's final manifestation-insurance overhaul-would force providers and payers to respond to unfunded mandates (and unintended consequences) without resolving serious structural problems that positioned reform as a top political issue in the 2008 elections. The result of reform-cum-insurance overhaul would be disastrous in the absence of proactive policy to promote necessary changes in provider-payer interactions. Aligning this relationship is an essential step toward improving health care in the United States, with or without a reform law.
The relationship between providers and payers has deteriorated in recent years for reasons directly related to historical differences in their cultures. Efforts to cast either stakeholder as a villain are correspondingly inappropriate because both have done what was expected of them in the evolution of American health care since the mid-20th century. However, historical vindication does not justify preserving the status quo. All sides in the reform battle of 2008-10 agree on one point: Economic realities of the 21st century will not support business as usual for anyone involved in health care. Carefully crafted change is imperative. This fact compels us to understand cultural differences between two pillars of the industry.
The culture of modern hospitals, health systems, and their medical staffs is deeply rooted in tradition. Indeed, today's provider enterprises still reflect their origins as hospices nursing to the poor in the Middle Ages. Colonists and religious organizations brought this European model to the United States, where the hospital evolved to become the "doctors' workshop." Due to the Flexner Report (1910), hospitals also became the center for medical education because they provided concentrations of "teaching material" in a predominantly rural country. Subsequent urbanization and development of outpatient care have changed the functions of a hospital, but it is still perceived to be the physician-focused center of the provider universe.
The Flexner Report's legitimization of scientific medicine and hospital-based medical education is still a foundation of provider culture. A health system's self-image is largely defined by its ability to provide physicians with all the technology they need to practice medicine at the state-of-the-art-that is, to do everything that needs to be done for every patient without regard to financial circumstances. Provider culture fiercely resists economic considerations because the Hippocratic Oath (as traditionally interpreted) says that money is not supposed to influence a physician's decisions.
Providers' cultural antipathy to economic considerations is also embedded in Medicare, beginning with President Johnson's begrudging acceptance of provider-controlled fiscal intermediaries as the political compromise that enabled its enactment in 1965. Medicare's administrative agency (initially the Health Care Financing Administration, now the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) and other financial third parties have subsequently controlled their costs by negotiating price discounts, not by controlling physicians' decisions. (A payer's refusal to pay for care ordered by a physician does not legally bar the physician from making the order.) Public opposition to perceived government intervention in the patient-physician-hospital relationship on financial grounds even played a major role in preventing health reform in 2009.
In addition to taking below-cost reimbursement for benefits covered by Medicare and Medicaid, providers have paid a price for their ongoing freedom to make clinical decisions by accepting obligations to redistribute income, such as EMTALA and charity care criteria for exemption from taxation. Providers have survived by charging above-cost prices to private payers (cost-shifting) and competing for market share. The resulting economic outcome is a failure from the perspectives of efficiency, effectiveness, and equity. However, recent experience in other major American industries (e.g., automotive, banking, and finance) shows that stakeholder culture does not necessarily change in response to obvious market failure. In health care, culture still drives providers to supply state-of-the-art services on their own terms and to expect adequate overall reimbursement from others.
The economy has obliged by allowing health care's consumption of gross domestic product to rise from 4 to 17 percent over the past 50 years-growth unparalleled in any other private sector of the economy. The Great Recession of 2009 and related shifts in economic circumstances will not continue to support this expansion, suddenly threatening the survival of many providers and their business partners. Something's got to give ... and will. How well depends on developing and implementing reform policies that are sensitive to providers' culture. Self-imposed cost containment is not part of providers' heritage.
The everyday characteristics of third-party financial intermediaries flow from a very different history. Payer culture is uniquely American and not even a century old. Unlike almost every other country in the western world, the United States formally rejected government-run finance mechanisms for health care in the decades surrounding World War Two. Private payers were even given a major role in reimbursement when Medicare was created. The third-party payer is as American as apple pie, purposefully created as a private enterprise to channel funds from purchasers to providers in an era when the general populace formally rejected anything that smacked of socialism.
Given their publicly ordained origin as private enterprises, payers can survive only by generating revenues in excess of expenses. A reform law that increases any private payers' expenses correspondingly forces the payers to raise revenues and/or to develop "work-arounds" that make the medical marketplace even more inefficient. Nevertheless, a no-fault explanation for market failures does not rationalize the status quo. Our payment system needs to be reformed as much as our provider system, but reforms must fix the underlying problems. The final reform proposals being considered in Washington fail to address the underlying problems and would only make things worse.
Although the political case for reform-cum-insurance overhaul highlights real problems in the individual and small-business markets, payer culture places high value on hard work to keep corporate customers satisfied. Third-party payers could not stay in business without the large purchasers (and their brokers) that buy health insurance on behalf of employees-and the business is extremely competitive in most markets. Employers commonly put their benefits business out to bid every year or two, and they have finally reached the limits of what they are willing and able to pay for employee health insurance.
The result is continual product innovation, as currently evidenced by payer-purchaser partnerships that are transforming health benefits from a contentious entitlement to a synergistic engagement between employers and employees. Some payers are arguably among the most progressive and creative leaders of the four principal parties (patient, provider, payer, and purchaser) in the medical marketplace. Unlike providers, payers also bear risks inherent in true insurance products, and their finances are highly regulated. The payer business model and its problems are complicated. Improvements are needed, but simplistic reforms won't help.
The tense relationship between providers and payers is the predictable result of incompatible cultures. Providers see their mission as supplying physicians with state-of-the-art tools to practice medicine and expect that purchasers and patients will ultimately foot the bill. Payers are cast in the role of third-party intermediary, bearing risk in the process of assuming fiduciary responsibility for purchasers and patients with limited budgets. This arrangement is fundamentally dysfunctional.
No other nation has structured its medical marketplace like ours. We should not be surprised that the United States ranks near the bottom on lists of cost, quality, and access for health care in developed countries. In addition, the current political climate works against consensus on comprehensive approaches to reform, a problem exacerbated by polarizing leadership and intense conflict between and within the political parties. If reform in 2010 is built on a lowest common denominator of insurance overhaul, its foundation will be very unstable.
Frantic efforts to force a political solution have diverted attention from solving the structural problems of health care. Getting a reconciled bill to the president's desk is not a move forward-and may well be a move backward-if the resulting law fails to resolve destabilizing cultural conflicts between providers and payers. Reform needs to align providers and payers to produce care of acceptable quality as inexpensively as possible. (Social equity is a different issue that should be addressed on its own terms, ideally in the context of giving all Americans access to an efficient and effective healthcare system. The United States does not currently have the resources to build a good health system and make it available to everyone.)
Payers and providers are not going to play well together as long as they are stuck in a win-lose game. Here are three examples of new policies that could get reform moving in a positive-sum direction by creating common ground in the interests of providers and payers while most important, aligning them to reduce costs and improve quality for purchasers and patients.
Sharing clinical data to identify lowest-cost care. All parties agree that data and information technology are keys to reducing waste (i.e., cutting costs) in health care. The economic recovery act's Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) title affirms bipartisan commitment to digital transformation as a precondition for meaningful healthcare reform. (On the other hand, the law's cumbersome implementation demonstrates the serious problems of hurried legislation.) Many payers have already developed intelligent data systems to identify the least-cost clinical interventions to produce a desired outcome-information that providers should be using to reduce expenses in their operations. Unfortunately, a payer's gain is a provider's loss (and vice versa) in today's marketplace. Well-reasoned healthcare reform would include policies to promote, not prevent, data sharing that reduces costs for all parties.
Constructing common infrastructure to coordinate effective care. Numerous studies also show that quality suffers because patient care is not coordinated. In response to this challenge, payers and providers have separately developed mechanisms to prevent duplication of services and delivery of counterproductive care. Benefits management programs (payer) and medical homes (provider) serve the same purposes, but they are not appropriately integrated because payers and providers are operating on different balance sheets. To solve this problem, health policy experts make a compelling case for bundled payments to accountable care organizations. Today's successful health maintenance organizations provide a good business model for payer-provider integration, but their generally atypical origins do not provide an organizational development model for overcoming cultural barriers that prevent care coordination and global payment in most marketplaces. Reform must address this problem.
Streamlining reimbursement processes. The shift from fee-for-service to bundled payment and value-based purchasing will also require the development of a new interface between providers' and payers' financial systems. This process will go well only if the two parties find common ground in reconciling today's complicated procedures for deciding who owes what to whom and how it will be paid. Providers and payers will need to work together to make future financial obligations understandable to all parties, especially patients as they become responsible for a much greater portion of their total bill. Standardizing transactions and automating processes will require collaboration that has been hindered by the clash of cultures.
Given such challenges, payers and providers surely realize that their futures are interdependent. They should also understand that their attitudes, values, goals, and practices must change constructively-but these organizational attributes will not change unless the payers' and providers' survival is guaranteed in the process. Health reform needs to be refocused on policies that allow providers and payers to align their cultures so that all parties benefit from potential synergies to provide top-quality care as inexpensively as possible.

Sticky Gaze May Be Early Autism Sign
Simons Foundation Autism Research Institute
Date Published:
December 20, 2013
Babies later diagnosed with autism tend to stare at objects after picking them up, a behavior known as sticky gaze, at much later ages than controls do, according to a study published in Behavioral Brain Research. This delay may contribute to problems with joint attention — the tendency to seek out and follow others' gaze — in autism, the researchers say.

YUI uses Git to host all of its project code, and all of its open-sourced code is hosted on GitHub. Git is an exciting departure from traditional version control systems like CVS and SVN because the notion of distribution is embedded in its DNA. YUI engineering manager Jenny Donnelly (@jennyd) gives an introduction to Git and how to use it in the real world, including branching and committing, a typical git workflow, merge vs rebase, and tips and tricks that will make your life easier.
It would be great to have the slides somewhere (like on slideshare) to be able to have a better understanding of the conference.
Very good point about the slides
Very helpful presentation. Thanks for the introduction. Any chance of putting the slides on Slideshare or some other public location?
[...] YUI Theater – Jenny Donnelly: Introduction to Git – The YUI Blog highlights a number of recordings of sessions, many from their internal developer conference, including this one on the Git Distrbuted Version Control System given by Jenny Donnelly. Other topics addressed include Node.js, the YUI library, Mobile web development, etc. [...]
Slides are now available!
Well, there are almost thousands of source control systems and code sharing websites out there, including codeplex and codeproject. But I think that Git will be the first choice for professionals and it's really effective.
I am great fan of YUI Theater videos. And I really like it to get them automatically delivered by iTunes. But it looks like Eric Miraglia left Yahoo end of 2010, nobody is maintaining the promotion to of the YUI Theater movies as podcasts to iTunes anymore.
I was asking Eric what happend and he told if I ask here somebody will help me to solve my issue.
Nevertheless you dod a really great job here!
Does anyone have problems with the audio? All I hear is noise.
If anyone was wondering…Jenny was correct that modified changes move with you from branch to branch but it will stop you if it would there's any conflic. This is probably another thing you should address at the workflow level if it's a common problem in a project.
I've read the PPT, in which there is a good explaination on "branch workflow".

In addition, the Judicial Commission also released the results of a poll of all Philadelphia lawyers conducted for the Bar Association earlier this year by Parente Consulting. The poll invited respondents to rate specific aspects of the judicial performance of each of the retention judges. Under the bylaws of the Association, the poll is not binding upon the Commission's deliberations, although it must be published with the Commission's findings. The complete poll results are available from the Bar Association.
The 29-member Judicial Commission includes lawyers and non-lawyers as well as the President Judges of Common Pleas Court and Municipal Court, the Chief Public Defender, the City Solicitor, the Chancellor, Chancellor-Elect and Vice Chancellor of the Bar Association and representatives of diverse interests within the community.
Each of the currently rated candidates was voted upon by the Commission. Those found "Recommended" satisfied a cumulative review of criteria including qualifications such as legal ability and training, trial experience, character, integrity, judicial temperament and mental and physical ability and community involvement. The complete criteria are available from the Bar Association.
The following judges, listed alphabetically, were found "Recommended" for retention on the Court of Common Pleas:

text: With my pediatric-sized earlobs, I've had more luck carrying a boom box on my shoulder than getting iPhone-issued ear buds to stay in my ears, most especially while running. And the quality of sound is a whole other beast. To find a pair of high-performance buds that cater to the small-eared lot was a God send, because a six-mile run just isn't the same without a little classic rock. The Yurbuds Inspire Limited Edition Headphones do just that, they inspire. Inspire you to run harder, faster, longer—just like those who take on the Ironman, the company that Yurbuds joined forces with to release this product to the public. The headphones come with five different shapes and sizes of silicone ear fittings to ensure an adjust-free fit (you can also choose between ambient aware and noise isolating). The twist lock technology is simple—place the buds into your ear and then twist and lock into place—but it works. Allowing also for a hands-free run, the tangle-free, sweat-resistant cord features a iWhatever-friendly control that allows you to switch songs, answer calls, and change the volume without ever having to touch your music-playing device. Yurbuds is so confident in their design that they've issued the buds with a lifetime warranty, and the option to send in a photo of the buds in your ears for a custom pair to be made and sent to you free of charge. There's no denying that there's something inherently cool about a boom box, but there is little that compares to finishing mile ten to a soundtrack of Guns N' Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle."

Guan 9 shots back at Australian Master of the Amateurs
Tianlang Guan shot a second-round 76 to fall off the pace at the Australian Master of the Amateurs. The 14-year-old is nine shots back of 36-hole leader Brady Watt, the 16th-ranked player in the R&A World Amateur Golf Ranking.
Guan was one shot off the lead after a first-round 68 at famed Royal Melbourne Golf Club. Watt, one of five players to hold the first-round lead, now stands at 135 (67-68) and two shots ahead of Geoff Drakeford. Canada's Garrett Rank, the 2012 U.S. Mid-Am runner-up, is in third place, three shots off the lead.
The University of Tennessee's Richard Lamb is the low American through two rounds; he's in sixth place at 140 (70-70). Peter Williamson, the highest-ranked player in the field, is at 149; the world's No. 4 amateur followed a first-round 76 with a 73 Wednesday. Cal's Brandon Hagy, No. 11 in the R&A World Amateur Golf Ranking, is at 152 (73-79), while No. 13 Patrick Rodgers is at 145 (72-73).

[Do you have an idea for a future Mind Meld? Let us know!]
This week, in time for the change of season, we asked about Winter:
The first novel that leaps to mind is Geraldine McCaughrean's The White Darkness. It's a wonderfully bizarre tour de force about a girl, Sym, who is obsessed with all things Antarctic, including her imaginary boyfriend, the deceased Captain Lawrence "Titus" Oates. Her mad "uncle" takes her on a once in a lifetime trip there, which turns out to be a nightmare. He believes in the hollow Earth theory and that they will prove it's true. Along the way, McCaughrean masterfully reveals more and more about Sym's own past and her phony uncle. Sym's voice is arresting despite how very in her own head she is—and it's perhaps because of how that works with a backdrop that is spectacularly isolated and physically challenging. Some people may argue this isn't a true fantasy, but I would debate them (citing spoilers), and regardless of which of us won I maintain it'd still be of interest to many genre readers because of the hollow Earth fringe science driving the plot.

Roy Colsey Vs. The Dive
Major League Lacrosse's Championship Game in 2003 was incredibly physical. While 2004 also showcased two tough teams, what really stood out was Roy Colsey's epic shooting day, and the Cannons' Michael Watson pulling out the most acrobatic assisted dive shot goal of all-time.
UPDATED: Ryan Powell – Play Fast, Shot Clock Please!
Connor Wilson asked for someone to tell him the recent Cuse-Hop game was boring. Ryan Powell is here to answer the challenge! Plus he's got some other thoughts on changes college lacrosse could use. Now this is a debate worth having! So what do YOU think?

Boston Comic Con had a great start yesterday and continues until 5:00 pm today. Tip: Don't ask the Batmen to make out.
Take a break from the sun, parks, and lunch to check out the artist, vendors, and everything comic-related packed into the first floor of the Hynes Convention Center. Yesterday, we were there to capture it in all its geek-tastic glory. We saw Ghostbusters, Jokers, Mr. T, a guy from Gantz (who didn't think we'd know who he was), the prerequisite stormtroopers, batmen, Robins, and more. Hint: don't ask the batmen to make out when you take their picture, even though it would be really cool.

Child's play for our first year acquisition party
Friday 11th May saw Technophobia staff taking on the true meaning of a first year celebration by reliving our childhoods and embracing some juvenile birthday party fun.
Fun, games and of course plenty of food
It's a year since our acquisition by Capita plc and the past 12 months have been both rewarding and hard work. To celebrate the occasion we decided to host a birthday party Technophobia style. The party theme was 'One Year Old' so children's party food and decorations were all in evidence as well as nostalgic cartoons clips.
Alongside an extremely well-stocked buffet table, several games added to the theme's authenticity. One particularly popular activity was 'Pin the Tie On the Colleague', which of course, involved a blindfold and much hilarity.
There were also more food-focussed tasks being completed and .NET developer, Ollie Caine, fought off strong competition by eating a grand total of 26 marshmallows in a minute... using chopsticks. An Xbox tournament, board games and a paper aeroplane launch provided team-based entertainment and were a fantastic contrast of those games we all remembered and enjoyed, mixed with those we can't stop playing now.
Looking forwards...
All in all, far too many E numbers were consumed, but a great time was had and it was a fun way to end the week, and indeed the year since the takeover.
There's so much more to come than the relatively short time that has passed since last April, and we're looking forward to seeing what the future holds as Technophobia, part of Capita plc.

As a correspondent in Washington 20 years ago, I received occasional calls from local television stations on the anniversary of the burning of the White House by a British force in August 1814. The reason they wanted a comment was because the raid was jointly led by my distant ancestor, Admiral Sir George Cockburn, who took a fleet into Chesapeake Bay in the last months of the war that had started in 1812.
The intention was for Sir George and his fleet to seize horses in Virginia and Maryland for the cavalry. Instead, the sailors found it far more profitable to plunder tobacco warehouses on the creeks running down to the Chesapeake.
They also freed 300 slaves who, according to a British account, "were uniformly volunteers for the station where they might expect to meet their former masters". Reaching the northern end of the Chesapeake, the British landed and advanced on Washington. British troops fought a brief victorious action against the American militia at Bladensburg in Maryland, where President James Madison had disastrously decided to exercise his powers as commander-in-chief. The dispersal of the militiamen was so humiliatingly swift that the battle became known as "the Bladensburg Races". Occupation of the US capital, at this time inhabited by only about 8,000 people, followed immediately against no resistance.
In the captured city, Sir George showed a spirit of jocular derision towards the institutions of the young American republic whose public buildings he intended to burn down. The justification for the arson was that it was in retaliation for the burning by American troops of the Canadian parliament building a year earlier when they captured York, later known as Toronto.
Some 50 British soldiers advanced down Pennsylvania Avenue to the presidential mansion. Here they found an inviting dinner waiting for them, thanks to the President's wife, Dolly Madison, who had been expecting to feed the victorious American defenders of Bladensburg. Forced to abandon the banquet at the last moment, she fled the presidential home. After dinner, the victorious British set the mansion ablaze. When the flames died down, only the exterior walls still stood and these were so weakened by the heat they mostly had to be demolished.
The burning of Washington was the high point of the campaign and the best-remembered incident in the War of 1812, as it came to be known. The British fleet moved north and bombarded Baltimore, an attack notable for inspiring "The Star-Spangled Banner", whose allusion to "hireling and slave" may refer to the freed slaves in the British force.
The War of 1812 is not one Americans know much about (it has greater prominence in Canadian history). But the 32-month conflict vies with any other war fought by the US over the following two centuries, including Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, for being poorly conceived and disastrously executed. Justified in the US as a reaction to the Royal Navy illegally impressing American sailors, the true motive was that Madison and his supporters thought it an excellent moment to invade and conquer Canada. In early 1812, Napoleon was at the height of his power, and Wellington in Spain was dependent on American grain.
