Those who trust to chance must abide by the results of chance.Calvin Coolidge
Confidence is that feeling by which the mind embarks on great and honorable courses with a sure hope and trust in itself.Cicero
I know God will not give me anything I canít handle. I just wish that He didnít trust me so muchMother Teresa
Every sale has five basic obstacles: no need, no money, no hurry, no desire, no trust.Zig Ziglar
With reference to the narrative of events, far from permitting myself to derive it from the first source that came to hand, I did not even trust my own impressions, but it rests partly on what I saw myself, partly on what others saw for me, the accuracy of the report being always tried by the most severe and detailed tests possible. My conclusions have cost me some labor from the want of coincidence between accounts of the same occurrences by different eyewitnesses, arising sometimes from imperfect memory, sometimes from undue partiality for one side or the other. The absence of romance in my history will, I fear, detract somewhat from its interest; but I shall be content if it is judged useful by those inquirers who desire an exact knowledge of the past as an aid to the interpretation of the future, which in the course of human things must resemble if it does not reflect it. My history has been composed to be an everlasting possession, not the showpiece of an hour.Thucydides
There is a higher form of patriotism than nationalism, and that higher form is not limited by the boundaries of one's country; but by a duty to mankind to safeguard the trust of civilization.Oscar S. Strauss
Let no man trust the first false step of guilt; it hangs upon a precipice, whose steep descent in last perdition ends.Edward Young
Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone else's.Billy Wilder
The fact is there is nothing that you can trust; and that is a terrible fact, whether you like it or not. Psychologically there is nothing in the world, that you can put your faith, your trust, or your belief in. Neither your gods, nor your science can save you, can bring you psychological certainty; and you have to accept that you can trust in absolutely nothing.Jiddu Krishnamurti
It is better to suffer wrong than to do it, and happier to be sometimes cheated than not to trust.Samuel Johnson
I trust it will not be giving away professional secrets to say that many readers would be surprised, perhaps shocked, at the questions which some newspaper editors will put to a defenseless woman under the guise of flattery.Kate Chopin
Wise men put their trust in ideas and not in circumstancesRalph Waldo Emerson
The people when rightly and fully trusted will return the trustAbraham Lincoln
The glue that holds all relationships together - including the relationship between; the leader and the led is trust, and trust is based on integrity.Brian Tracy
Where large sums of money are concerned, it is advisable to trust nobody.Agatha Christie
I have known a vast quantity of nonsense talked about bad men not looking you in the face. Don't trust that conventional idea. Dishonesty will stare honesty out of countenance, any day in the week, if there is anything to be got by it.Charles Dickens
It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.Bible
Confidence is that feeling by which the mind embarks in great and honorable courses with a sure hope and trust in itself.Marcus Tullius Cicero
If we can not trust a freeman with his right to keep and bear arms, then how can we trust him with the right to vote. Surely the right of a freeman to vote has a much greater effect on our collective lives than does any individual's firearm. If one argues that the effect of any one freeman's vote is minimal, then why allow it in the first place? To be armed is to secure one's right to representation.Thomas Mincher
Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with armsJames Madison
The man who is completely wise and virtuous has no need of glory, except so far as it disposes and eases his way to action by the greater trust that it procures him.Plutarch
Set your expectations high; find men and women whose integrity and values you respect; get their agreement on a course of action; and give them your ultimate trust.John Akers

Top 10 internet stocks – more than 1 trillion valuation
In a very short period of time, opinions of anything can change. It wasn't so long ago that these statements were made about the internet as a commercial platform:
- It's for nerds. "Fine, you nerds can do what you want but normal people are never going to use this thing."
- It's completely decentralized, which means you can't trust it. No business is ever going to do anything on it because businesses won't work on an untrusted environment. There won't ever be any e-commerce.
- There will never be any internet payments. No one will put their credit card on the internet.
- It's an open-source kind of thing so there will be no Internet companies.
- It's got all these technical deficiencies. It's slow. It's unreliable. It doesn't work right. When you do a search, sometimes you get an answer back and sometimes you don't. Sometimes when you dial in you get a busy signal.
- What happen if your ISP goes out of business? Then you can't get back online.
- Once you get on the internet, even assuming you get on the internet, there's nothing to do. There's no content. Time magazine isn't online, the New York Times isn't online. It's just a bunch of nerd stuff.
These classic soundbites come from Marc Andreessen in a recent interview while referencing those who think bitcoin will never be more than some kind of digital space oddity. While we are on the topic of economic change, it is telling to have a look at the market valuations of the top 10 internet companies. That is, companies less than 20 years old who could not have existed pre dot com. The US top 10 public companies now have an accumulated value of $1.168 trillion dollars.
- Google – $585 billion
- Facebook – $170 billion
- Amazon – $155 billion
- Ebay – $65 billion
- Priceline – $65 billion
- Yahoo – $36 billion
- Salesforce.com – $36 billion
- Twitter – $24 billion
- Linkedin – $21 billion
- Expedia – $11 billion
We can also add the upcoming float of Alibaba.com to this at anything between a further $120 to $200 billion.
This takes my mind directly to the potential of 3D printing, web of things and the solar energy industry. All of which are in their 1993 era. The only question remaining for entrepreneurs reading is this; What are you going to do about it?
A story from Sir Tim
I had the good fortune this week to meet the inventor of the world wide web Sir Tim Berners Lee. He is currently touring Australia and after he gave a public lecture at Melbourne University, I was lucky enough to attend a private session thanks to the AUDA and meet him personally.
Firstly, I'd like to say he was a total gentleman, who is very humble for all that he has given us. Over drinks I asked him what seemed like the first non techie question he'd been asked all night, and his answer I found totally inspiring. The dialogue is below:
Me: "Tell me how it feels to have created something everyone loves and uses every day…. How do you cope with all the attention and adulation?"
Tim: "Well, I'm just Tim, a normal guy around campus. But, it is interesting you asked that, because I made a conscious decision to avoid the public sphere for the first 10 years after I created it. I didn't do any interviews or make any public appearances. Mainly so it wouldn't interfere with my family. About 10 years into the web I received a letter telling me that I was to receive the Millenium Prize in Finland. It turned out that the ceremony happened to be on my son's birthday. So I wrote back to them saying that I couldn't make it on that day as it was my son's birthday. That I could come if they changed the date. They then wrote back to me saying something like… 'You don't understand Tim, this is like a really big thing, and the dates can't be changed….' And then I wrote back saying, 'No, you don't understand, nothing gets in the way of my family, I'm very honoured, but you'll have to give it to someone else.' Well – in the end they were determined that I come and suggested they fly our entire family over so that we could still celebrate his birthday as a family, and so that I could still get the prize, and that they would pay respect to my sons birthday at all the ceremony. So I asked my son Ben and he was ok with it. In fact, he really enjoyed his birthday as entire auditoriums sang him happy birthday and he had something like 5 birthday cakes while we were there."
I thought this was cool and grounded. In fact, it's a terrific thing when someone you respect greatly, gives you more reasons to respect them after you've actually met.
(A photo with Tim – He said 'Send me a copy of the photo!' – but I'm sure he says that to every fan boy who asks for a picture.)
There is no digital
While it is clear that the birth of the omnipresent web has changed our business infrastructure, it's not clear that most people understand the truth about digital as it pertains to business, brand or startup strategy. Here's a simple phrase to help remind us:
There is no digital.
There is only 'life'. We seamlessly move between a variety of technologies in our day. As we have done since the beginning of time with all forms of technology. We don't have a digital life and an analogue life as much as we don't have a sitting on a chair life or a sitting on the floor life. A chair is just a piece of technology like the latest shinny thing in our pockets is. And it's about time we started recognizing that a digital strategy is a flawed one by definition. All that exists is a strategy that makes sense – one which is technology agnostic. One that achieves objectives by considering all of the methods and tools at our disposal.
The days of digital strategy are over. Anyone who doesn't get digital, doesn't get strategy. We need start to think again in terms of utility for the audience – it's only when we focus on their needs that we can ever hope to be a solution in their day.
The downside of the internet
I was recently watching this documentary about break dancing and its evolution in the Bronx of New York. You may remember from previous posts that I was very much into the activity, before the main stream media and taste makers decided it was over. They pulled the albums from the shelves, stopped showing it on TV (I had 3 channels to chose from) and let it evaporate into history as a fad we can all look back on.
What you probably don't know about break dancing is that it was around for about 10 years before it hit the mainstream. In fact, it was pretty much developed on a single housing block in the South Bronx. It didn't move from this single location for the best part of a decade. The 3 tenants of Hip Hip: the break dancing, the Music (DJ's & MC's) and the aerosol art – all thrived and evolved in one physical space over a large number of years without any external influence or involvement. A small community lead by people like Kool Herc, Fab Five Freddy and Afrika Bambaataa added layers to their micro culture into a form of self bootstrapped art and entertainment. The period of development was iterative, local and very long before it blossomed into something amazing and beautiful. Hip Hop cultural was the veritable flower growing through a crack in the pavement. It didn't appear in discotheques of Manhattan until it had fully developed. Only when this flower began to germinate and turn into an garden of undiscovered originality and urban culture – did any taste makers and marketers start to take notice. Only when it was fully developed could it turn into a global phenomenon where big dollars got made via the TV Industrial Complex.
I don't think that this could happen today. The connected world just wouldn't allow it. And while, I'm a technology evangelist, it's true that all technology has some negative outcomes. The lack of isolation is one of these technology negatives. Certain things need the condition of isolation in order to develop to their true potential. To develop in a single environment without external influence. The exact kind of environment that Hip Hop culture both needed and thrived in. It's why it was so pure and so real. It had to find its way with limited resources. The reason the 3 tenants of Hip Hop are what they are is because the founders were poor. They couldn't afford instruments – so they used record players and microphones as an instruments. They used spray cans and train sides as their canvas. They took the only nutrients their environment of urban decay provided.
Today the entire connected world is looking for something interesting to blog about, to tweet about, to post on their youtube channel and start a tumblr page on. Anything that looks remotely interesting gets posted about, mashed up, promoted, storied, and presented to the world before it has even taken its own shape. The original community of anything different and interesting can't own it and nurture it like they could pre-web. And I'm starting to think that we might be missing out on some of the cultural benefits which evolve from simple unadulterated time to develop. If the first blossom of a new species is picked, re-planted or re-purposed will we ever really see what that species might have turned into?
While we are urged to promote and share all that we do and find, maybe it is time to consider the opposite. To cocoon our idea in development until it has evolved into something worthy. The let the startup actually 'start', and find its place and take its own shape before others start to re-shape it on our behalf. Maybe it's time for us to step back and let some things be, before we interrupt them.
The key to the success of all technology, is knowing when not to use it.
The duality
With great change, comes great tension. This tension often leads to a split between the opposing forces from which re-alignment may never occur. A favourite past time of many of us is predicting a winner – the eventual pattern that we'll all follow.
No category is less pervasive in this arena than technology. But in reality it is becoming less and less about winners and losers, and much more about choice, fragmentation and tribes. An old axiom by Stewart Brand we'll all remember is the one about "information wanting to be free"…. but it turns out that this story has an oft left out post script: He immediately added after this that "information also wants to be expensive", which was a far less quoted caveat.
In a world were control is dissipating, and startups are changing everything, we ought remember that both directions can be equally valid.
The end of manuals
Up until very recently – maybe 10 years ago – the people who made the stuff we use, didn't really care if we could use it. Which is why anyone who have ever owned a VCR can remember the time flashing at 12am for most of its shelf life.
People who made stuff didn't care, because they didn't have to. Our options were limited. There were only so many brands to choose from, and only so many retailers to buy from. It was buy from them, or miss out. But they were nice enough to a write manuals for us. If you've ever had struggled to read or understand a user manual of some sort. I've got good news for you… I have the translation below.
"Hi there, we've written this manual in order to avoid have to give you any real or human feedback. You see, we are too busy selling this thing in so many countries, that caring would impact our short term profitability too much. So instead we just got some of our engineers to write this thing, and then we hired a translation company to put it into your language….. so if this is all reading a bit back to front, or just too technical to understand, then that is why. The reason our product needs a manual is that we are pretty much trying to be everything to everyone. We couldn't really decide which features to include or exclude, so we just put all of them in. We believe we can charge a higher price if it has more features, we are not 100% sure, but why risk it? We know having this many features makes it harder to user, but it really makes it easier for our sales and marketing team to tell customers and retailers our 'thing' does everything. Our policy is to do the bare minimum when it comes to anything related to our product after we already have your money. And we know that all our competitors do much the same stuff so we reckon we can roll like this. Good luck!"
Lucky for us manuals are a thing of the past and smart brands know this. In this day and age the thing itself should be the manual. If it isn't we can be pretty sure that someone will replace our stuff with a better user experience that's intuitive and actually cares about the people using it.
Digital Dialects
While it has been reported that many languages are dying via globalisation and nationalised education, language is fighting back. But this time it isn't geographic. It's jumping boundaries and hardware devices to find like minds who want to invent their own lexicon. Language likes to be unique. Language likes to treat insiders differently. Language likes to evolve, change and even judge.The connected world is developing an entire cadre of digital dialects in. Most of which are geographically dispersed and happen virtually.
For me it's another proof point of the world we are all now living in. As soon as we think we understand what's happening, it evolves. But more important than the change is the fact that it never asks for permission.
Selling – the highest paid profession
It has been said many times that 'selling' is the worlds highest paid profession. While I had my doubts early on in my career, I have never been more convinced of it that I am now. For quite a few reasons which I have shared below.
There is no limit
If we are in a real sales job, then there is no limit to what we can earn. That is, we work on commission. And while there are plenty of dodgy commission based sales jobs around, the serious sales roles allow sales people to earn as much as possible. It's a simple formula to let a sales person take a piece of every pie they bake. If we are working in a sales role for a salary, then the truth is we are not really sales people. If we work in a sales role that has guaranteed distribution – then again we are not really in a sales role.
The truth about investment bankers
The general populous has been tricked into thinking that investment bankers (yes the type that hang out in wall street and ruin economies) are mathematicians and brilliant statisticians who work out innovative ways to generate more money than existed before they arrived. Well, the global economy learned the hard way that the people running the finance industry are not a bunch of geniuses who worked out algorithms beyond our comprehension. The reality is that the highly paid investment bankers are the sales people of their organizations simply extracting commissions. It just so happens that small percentages on big numbers really add up. The unfortunate thing for all of us is that they are unscrupulous operators who invent a bunch of bullshit (unsecured debt derivatives anyone?) to sell people sausages at steak prices. But the fact is the money goes to the guy who 'convinces people to pay' not the engine room.
Great entrepreneurs are gun sales people
It doesn't matter how great our startup is, we have to sell the idea. First to investors, then to customers – and very often, even to employees and suppliers. The hardest part about what we do as entrepreneurs is getting people on board. Selling to all the members of our supply chain. Sure, the occasional new product or service enters the market and wows the world and spreads organically, but this is the exception more than the rule. It should be our assumption that we'll have to sell startup to everyone it touches instead.
The definition of selling has changed
When we hear the term 'salesperson' we imagine the someone working in a car yard, or traveling sales guy with a brief case calling on prospects, or the telephone sales cold caller. We need to change our perception of what the sales person is these days. The sales person in the 21st century is the blogger, the tweeter, youtuber, the instagramer, the public speaker, the co-working space provider – anyone who is a self publisher. When we self publish, by definition we are building a personal brand that we hope to sell at some point in the future. It's pretty much everyone. We've now entered the age of the micro entrepreneur and personal branding. And if we can't sell ourselves, we certainly wont be able to sell anything else. We're all sales people now.
Technology agnostic
The final human truth is that selling is technology agnostic. The sales process doesn't care if we are selling potatoes, micro chips and iPhone apps. The process remains unchanged, even though the tools are broadening. And if we want to succeed at anything, at least financially, then we need to embrace the idea that selling is where the money is, always has been, and always will be.

Bill to Speed Up School Construction Process Passes in
Sacramento – Today in the Senate Education Committee, Assemblywoman Sharon Runner (R-Antelope Valley) introduced and passed her legislation to help streamline the bureaucratic school construction process. "School construction is already bogged down in red tape," Runner said. "Anything we can do to cut down on unnecessary bureaucracy will help us build schools faster and put our children into classrooms sooner."
Runner's bill would allow the Department of Toxic Substances Control to add addendums to their Phase 1 assessment of school sites. By doing this, they could forgo the lengthy Preliminary Endangerment Assessment that comes in later, after Phase 1. AB 2834 gives more flexibility to the DTSC by giving it statutory authority to do what is has already been doing in the past.
The bill does not interfere with public scrutiny and continues to uphold the stringent environmental standards developed by the DTSC. AB 2834 was heard in the Senate Education Committee and was passed unanimously. However, the fight is not over. The next move will be to get the bill through the Senate's Environmental Quality Committee.
"I am really glad that the bill passed especially with the support of the San Diego Unified School District," Runner stated. "This bill saves schools time and money and puts our children into classrooms sooner."

Pneumoconiosis - Definition - Symptoms - Causes - Prevention - Treatment
Pronounciation - pneumo-co-nio-sis (noomō-kō''''nē ō′sis)
Meaning - [pneumo- Greek - konis, koni, dust -osis.]
It is seen in specific occupations such as coal mining and construction industries where the concentration of dust particles is very high. Thus it can be considered as occupational lung disease. The most common types of pneumoconiosis include silicosis, asbestosis and coal worker''s pneumoconiosis. These are discussed in detail in other sections of the article.
Pneumoconiosis causes inflammation of the lungs. The lung tissue in normal people is very elastic. This allows it to expand and contract while breathing. In the common types of pneumoconiosis, fibrous tissue gets deposited in the lungs, the condition being called fibrosis. Fibrosis tends to stiffen the lung tissue and restrict its expansion. The affected person may develop breathing problems, cancer and may even die due to the condition. It is important to diagnose the condition early, as the patient must be removed from the environment at the earliest. Also, preventive measures should be taken to protect other workers from the disease.
Deaths due to silicosis and coal worker¡¯s pneumoconiosis in the United States have reduced during the past few years.
Death due to asbestosis increased from 0.49 per million persons in 1970 to 6.73 per million persons in 2000 and then slowly declined. However, these conditions continue to affect the health of a large number of workers.
Prevention is the main stay of the treatment. The person at risk should be removed from the site of exposure and wear protective masks in event of exposure to the dust. Affected patients with lung fibrosis will require treatment with oxygen and sometimes Corticosteroids medication may need to be added.

About the Ticket Supplier: Factory TheaterFounded in Chicago, Illinois in 1992, Factory Theater is a theater organization dedicated to the writing, directing, performance and production of original works written by ensemble members that are accessible to inexperienced as well as seasoned theatergoers. Since 1992 the Factory has produced more than 60 productions that have been enjoyed by both critics and audience members.
Factory Theater bridges the gap between critical acclaim and audience accessibility. Most of their shows have received rave reviews and awards by various publications including The Reader, New City, the Chicago Sun-Times, the Chicago Tribune, and L.A. Weekly, among others.
In 1998, Factory Theater opened a branch company in Los Angeles, California, and many of their ensemble members relocated out west to pursue careers in film, television and screenwriting and to help create a national presence for the company. Factory Theater has also taken trips out to New York on two separate occasions - in 1998 their After-Dark award winning production of The Vinyl Shop was the hit of the Fringe Festival, and in 2001 Factory was invited to the H.E.R.E. space in Soho by PSNBC to perform The Death And Life Of Barb Budonovich, a short version of their production Varations On Death.
The Factory attributes its success to hard work, dedication, and love for theater. Those attributes continue on in the Factory's vision of writing and producing new works to provide their ever-growing audience with laughter and inspiration.

Raven Industries Supplies High-Altitude Balloon Used In Record-Setting Red Bull Stratos Mission
SIOUX FALLS, S.D., Oct. 24, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Raven Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq:RAVN) , in response to numerous inquiries, confirmed today that the high-altitude research balloons used by Austrian Felix Baumgartner in his recent record-setting Red Bull Stratos mission, were manufactured by Raven's Aerostar Division.
Raven Industries was founded in 1956 based on the product line of scientific balloons. The company's competitor at the time, Winzen Research, supported numerous manned science programs in the 1950s and 1960s, including Navy Project Strato-Lab, Air Force Project Manhigh and Project Excelsior. The latter two involved Col. Joe Kittinger, USAF (Retired), who was involved in science related to aeromedical effects and life support systems for space flight, as well as understanding the factors of survivability when ejecting from high-altitude aircraft. In August 1960, Col. Kittinger jumped from 102,800 feet performing a free-fall of 4 minutes 36 seconds and reaching a top speed of 614 mph.
Winzen's balloon division merged with Raven's balloon division in 1994. Raven has continued to develop and manufacture scientific balloons with ever greater capabilities in lift, flight duration and reliability for NASA, the Air Force Research Lab, as well as other agencies around the world."Raven would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Mr. Baumgartner, Col. Kittinger, and all of the Red Bull Stratos team and support members on a great accomplishment," said Mark L. West, Raven's chief technology officer. "Throughout our company's 56-year history we have been dedicated to furthering the science of these amazing balloons. We understand the level of technology, dedication and effort that was needed to return man to the stratosphere in this program. And we are impressed with the professionalism and concern for safety displayed by the entire Stratos team. We applaud their success." Red Bull Stratos balloon quick facts:
- Volume: 29.47 million cubic feet
- Diameter: 425 feet (fully inflated)
- Uninflated length: 592 feet
- Weight: 3,708 lbs.
- Type: Zero-pressure balloon manufactured from 0.8 mil high-strength polyethylene with one reinforcing cap

There are bowling alleys where you can go and just bowl. And then there's ACME Bowl?a 51,000-square-foot facility that contains two alleys, as well as an arcade, billiards room, two shuffleboard tables, multiple dining areas, and a bar?where you can do more, and often simultaneously. At any of The Alley's 30 glittering lanes, for example, you can have food delivered lane-side from the on-site restaurant, The Break Room. The Break Room's lineup of Big Lebowski nachos, sweet chili Thai pizzas, and lavish burgers gives your non-bowling hand something to do besides write a condolence card for the pins' family.
Private parties, meanwhile, can settle in away from the crowd at Seven10, a private lounge with 10 lanes flanked by leather couches and 150" projection screens. Smaller HD screens are mounted above nine-foot Brunswick pool tables at Q Billiards, broadcasting everything from NBA to World Cup games. The entire family-friendly venue is non-smoking.
The weather in the Pacific Northwest isn't always ideal for spending time outside, which is why Java Billiards keeps daytime as well as nighttime hours. More than just a shelter from the elements, though, the all-ages pool hall stands as an emphatic answer to boredom. It invites families to sink shots on five different pool tables and rack up wins during games of checkers and foosball. Making good on the "java" part of its name, the facility's full espresso counter brews fresh lattes and mochas and serves up smoothies and italian sodas. Perhaps most importantly, Java Billiards maintains a safe environment for all ages by not serving alcohol or advertising itself as a hangout for vampires.
Malarkey's Pool & Brew could just as easily have been called Malarkey's Pool & Brew?& Delicious Comfort Food. That's because the laid-back hot spot boasts a menu with all the hearty breakfasts, patty melts, bacon cheeseburgers, and hot wings its pool players could want. Diners can pair their selections with 14 cold draft beers and over 20 bottled or canned beverages before playing a round or before entering one of the recurring pool tournaments on Wednesday or Friday nights or Sunday afternoons.
Numbered balls ricochet across the green-felted pool tables at Olympic Billiards during regular open-play sessions and tournaments, their clacks creating a subtle rhythmic soundtrack. When not aiming pool cues or hiring a sheepdog to corral every ball except the eight ball, patrons can test their accuracy at dartboards and their timing at air-hockey tables. While playing, they sip on cocktails such as the incredible hulk, surfer on acid, or oatmeal cookie shot, or choose from 12 domestic, imported, and craft beers on tap. On the food menu, traditional pub bites mingle with Asian dishes such as gyoza, egg rolls, and spicy ramyun noodles.

December 22 2014 Latest news:
HMV's new boss today warned the entertainment group is in talks with banks over its future
Thursday, December 13, 2012
HMV's new boss today warned the entertainment group is in talks with banks over its future following worse-than-expected trading in the run-up to Christmas.
Chief executive Trevor Moore, who joined the group from camera chain Jessops, warned current market conditions suggest the group will not meet expectations for the year to April.
As a result, the terms of its bank loans are not likely to be met in January and April, placing the future of the 238-strong chain under threat.
HMV said like-for-like sales fell 10.2pc in the 26 weeks to October 27 as its pre-tax loss narrowed to £36.1m, compared to £50.1m the previous year.
The dismal results come despite reports that HMV has received £40m in financial support from its suppliers in a bid to keep it going over the vital festive period.

If the public have not woken up already... The Internet will close thousands of shops in the next 5 years... You just cannot expect 500 million sales a year and growing, going from shops to the Internet and expect shops to servive... Probably a whole new shopping changing society will see the high streets struggling for their lives in the coming years.... The Internet is now part of our lives and it's massive use will make many shops and shopping mall units go bust.... And increase the unemployed ... For those that disagree ... the Internet iis certainly not going to create a flood of shops opening ... Is it ...?

How I Met Your Mother Season Premiere Review: A Wedding Wonderlandby Chris O'Hara at . Comments
Cleveland rocked, as a new season of How I Met Your Mother got underway this week.
"The Best Man" was maybe the best season opener I can recall for this series. The jam-packed premiere opened with Ted being summoned by Barney to warm his "cold feet." For all the comedy he brings to the show, Barney's softer side is just as important to his loveable character. The tie metaphor was very well done and culminated nicely when he asked Ted if he had, in fact, picked the right one.
It wouldn't be a memorable episode, though, without a healthy dose of Women According to Barney. From his counseling Ted on how to get laid at Punchy's wedding to his unveiling of his own new moves - like the Escaped Man Slaughterer - Barney dispayed mid-season form from the opening whistle.
What really had the scouts buzzing, however, aside from his amazing Guiness Book of World Records moment, were his moves on the dance floor, as he and Robin cut a rug to Deee Lite's "Groove Is In The Heart." It especially hit home with me, for in my youth, the knee slide into the "kip-up" off the floor was my go-to move at weddings.
Despite being put in the corner when their dirty dancing was broken up by Nora's phone call, Robin was at her best when she woefully counciled him on what to say. If there was one weak point of the episode, though, it had to be her "truth voice." While funny in concept, there was one too many flashbacks. Her conversation with Ted over cigars was redeeming at least.
I would be remiss if I did not mention my dislike of her new hair style. There is no bigger Scherbatsketeer than me, but her hair looked like Cosmo Kramer's did when he and Jerry's landlord turned down the water pressure. She needed the Commando 450 to get rid of that low-flow.
I still think it's our girl from the Great White North that Barney Suits Up with for the rest of his life, but until that comes to fruition, we luckily have Marshall and Lily to tug at our heart strings while also making us laugh. Pulling off the secret sober wife at a wedding is one of the all time hardest feats of friendship, so it didn't surprise me when Marshall and Lily broke down and told their friends the big news. I mean, who can resist knee dimples? We did get to enjoy Drunk Marshall for awhile, even if the "two flusher" faux pas was a bit of a let down.
Was it weird that the whole crew was invited to the wedding? Perhaps, but if his father-in-law-to-be was paying for everything it would not have been too out of the realm of Punchy's character to invite as many people as he could think of.
I'll cut myself off there before I go all Mosby and start emotionally rambling about what I felt was a very complete start to what I hope will prove to be a great season. We may not be close to the end, but as long as the writers keep feeding us enough "Mother" clues, I'm all for it.
Neil Patrick Harris such a complete actor. That dance sequence was so original and Scherbatsky is a well suited partner. IMO Barney's character is the main attraction to keep watching the show since finding the MOM seems still a fair bit away.
Columbo, you state a very good point! That is fantastic! I really think it was Robin :)
ah I bet my friend that Barney would marry anyone but Robin, I mean remember Barney and Robin tried being a couple but it didn't work so why would they get married all of a sudden?
Nora is not the bride at Barney's wedding. Why? The tie he holds in his hand (the striped one) which he wonders would be better is the very tie he wore on his first date with Nora! Love how the writers throw in these little clues.
@ Elizabeth Marie I snuck a current in to my comment. I should have said recent. Only Jinks knows she's dead anyway.
I hope Barney marries Robin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol Marshall!! That went soooooooooooooooo bad!!!
the dance thing was awesome but stupid Nora just had to call!!!
Unless he was trying to rape a teenager the vampire thing would never work...
How would he nail a chick by wearing a mask and pretending being sick?

7-year-old sets fire to neighbors greenhouse
CHESTERTON — A 7-year-old boy who admitted setting fire to a neighbor's greenhouse was described as having multiple mental health issues, authorities said.
His mother told police the boy has "ADHD, mood problems, anger problems and other types of issues." On Saturday morning, the victim, of the 1300 block of Lake Drive, northeast of Chesterton, discovered the damage to his plastic greenhouse.
The clear plastic cold frame lining, a section of the flooring, a wagon and a bag of wood chips were damaged by fire, for an estimated loss of $335, police said.
The owner immediately let police know a local child had been acting out for the past few weeks.
When questioned by police, the 7-year-old said he started the fire a few days before, "because I was mad." A young girl was with him at the time but did not take part, according to the police report, although the boy said, "She just told me to light it on fire."
The greenhouse's owner did not want to pursue criminal charges.

With one of the busiest shopping weekends of the year fast approaching, this Black Friday shopping planner infographic gives you some insights into what to expect both from stores and fellow shoppers.
The hyper-consumerism that's perpetuated by Black Friday and Cyber Monday sometimes causes conflict between shoppers. Unfortunately, 78% of shoppers surveyed said they've engaged in an argument with another shopper over a product. 81% say they've witnessed an argument, but luckily only 15% say they've been involved in a physical altercation with another shopper to get to an item first.
While Black Friday is ripe with in-store sales, shoppers can take a little solace in knowing that physically purchased sales will drop by 5% this year, while online sales (even on Black Friday) will rise 12%. That means there will be less people in the stores and more people at home.

The Washington State Redistricting Commission has a special meeting plus a public forum this evening at Spokane Falls Community College.
Want more info? Click here for details on the meeting.
Click here for Sunday's column on do-it-yourself redistricting.
Set next Tuesday aside for marking something other than the Winter Solstice. It will also be the day Washington state finds out whether it will add one more congressional district.
The U.S. Census Bureau will announce the national headcount and the state-by-state breakdowns. From that, states learn how many congressional districts they will have for the next decade.
The national population is estimated to be between 305.7 million and 312.7 million, up from 281.4 million in 2000, and the biggest gains are in the South and West.
Washington is reportedly on the cusp of having grown enough to get a new congressional seat, going from nine to 10…and won't that make for fun line-drawing by the state commission that will figure out those boundaries next year?
Idaho is expected to stay steady at two House seats.
Washington state could be in line for a new congressional district when the numbers from the 2010 Census become final.
A private organization that analyzes census, election and political data said Monday the state could just make the cut for adding a seat if the once-per-decade national headcount comes out as expected.
That would give Washington 10 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and give the state Redistricting Commission more to do than just adjust the current nine congressional districts and 49 legislative districts…
Members of Congress are apparently so ticked off about the Republican National Committee's use of a "Census" to raise money in its mailers that they've introduced a new bill to stop it, passing it quickly this week on a voice vote in the House of Representatives.
So what, Republicans out there might say. The House is run by Democrats always looking to take a shot at the GOP. Except this bill was written by Rep. Darrell Issa, a California Republican, and it passed without dissent from either party.
The RNC remains unabashed about its mailings, which have gone out to Eastern Washington residents as well as folks in some other states. RNC Chairman Michael Steele, told CNN's Wolf Blitzer: "This was within the law as written. I can't help it that the Democrats wrote a bad bill."
He answers a question about it in at about 6:17 of the above clip..
The previous bill outlawing the practice was sponsored by Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., and passed unanimously in the House and Senate this year. The RNC believes it complies with the law, which bans the use of the word Census on the envelope, because "Census Document" appears on a page of the mailing with the addressee's name that's inside the envelope and shows through a plastic window.
Issa told the Associated Press it's not a partisan issue. "When it comes to the Census htere is no separation between Republicans and Democrats. Working together we thought we put an end to this deceptive practice. Unfortunately, the foolishness of the RNC to move forward with yet another deceptive mail piece has caused us to act again."
The new bill is now in the Senate.
Spokane Mayor Mary Verner and Spokane Valley Mayor Tom Towey
Elected officials are sometimes unable to avoid making bets with their counterparts in other realms about sporting events. When there are no decent sporting events, they sometimes cook up other competitions on which to wager.
Thus it was that Spokane Mayor Mary Verner and Spokane Valley Mayor Tom Towey managed to bet on which city's residents would do better on returning their 2010 Census forms by the end of April. Loser has to wear a shirt with the other city's logo.
Although it is not yet the end of April, the Census Bureau has released the results for Washington city returns, so the day of reckoning is at hand.
And the winner is: Nobody. Or everybody. In other words, it's a tie. Both cities have a return rate of 76 percent.
One might think the mayors would just let this little wager die a nice, quiet death. But one would be wrong. Each agreed to don the other city's shirt, and issue a joint press release.
"The great people of the Spokane region once again delivered," said Verner. "I'm proud to wear Spokane Valley's colors in support of all the people who filled out their 2010 Census forms."
"Pink isn't one of my favorite colors," said Towey of the pastel shirt provided by Verner. "But since Mayor Verner is one of my favorite mayors, I'm going to wear it proudly."
And by the way, the mayors said. If you are among the one in four who didn't turn in your Census form, be nice to the Census taker who comes to your door in May to get the information.
The U.S. Census Bureau says Washington has exceed it mail-back participation in the 2010 Census compared to 2000. It says nearly 3 of 4 residences, or 74 percent, have mailed back their forms.
That's 2 percentage points ahead of the mail-back previous census.
Idaho has matched its 2000 mail-back rate, and is just ahead of Washington at 75 percent.
That puts both states ahead of the national return rate of 72 percent, but behind Minnesota, which has an 80 percent mail-back rate.
Other than potential bragging rights between the states, or between this decade and last, the return rate is significant for a fiscal reason. Every form that is returned is a household that doesn't have to be contacted personally by Census workers looking to fill in the blanks.
Spokane, Spokane Valley and Colville are all at 76 percent, the bureau reports. For a full list of Washington cities, go inside the blog.
Fundraising letters sent to Eastern Washington voters from the national Republican Party are receiving a review by the U.S. Postal Service and bipartisan criticism from members of Congress who view them as a deceptive and potentially illegal infringement on the U.S. Census.
Two Democratic House members wrote the postmaster general, calling for an investigation into whether the April 12 mailings violate a law that passed unanimously this year and was signed by President Obama on April 7. The letters, signed by Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, were also sent to residents of several other states.
One Republican congressman says the letters "violate the letter as well as the spirit" of that law and another is proposing yet another law to try to stop the RNC's long-standing money raising tactic.
The national GOP organization is unfazed. A spokesman insisted Monday the mailings are "in full compliance" with the law and designed to raise money to beat incumbent Democrats. Jahan Wilcox wouldn't say how many districts around the country were sent mailings: "We don't get into details on our fund-raising practices."
As reported Sunday in The Spokesman-Review's Spin Control, the fund-raising letter comes in a letter marked "Official Document/Do Not Destroy" and bold words above the address say it contains a "Census Document Registered To" the recipient. Lighter type above the Census notation says "This is not a U.S. Government Document".
Some Eastern Washington voters diligent about returning their U.S. Census form may have been surprised last week when what seemed like another Census form arrived in the mail.
An official looking letter – its envelope, after all reads DO NOT DESTROY/OFFICIAL DOCUMENT – says it is carrying a "Census Document" registered to the addressee, with one of those cool line codes that just reek of officialdom.
The document inside isn't from the Census Bureau. But it is someone you might've heard of: Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele.
The nation's top GOP official took time out from his busy schedule of trying not to get fired to get input from "a select few" in Washington's 5th Congressional District. How select isn't clear, but chances are not very. The copy forwarded to me came from a friend's spouse who is in no way a Republican. Nonetheless, the information sought is described as absolutely critical to building what Steele's calls "a state of the art grassroots organization" to win races up and down the ballot.
To do that, Steele sent out a "2010 Congressional District Census", which masquerades as an in-depth survey, but is really just a way to raise money. A sample of the questions:
Our good friends at the political blog at The News Tribune in Tacoma appear to be challenging us to a friendly Swivel chart war.
Responding to our bar chart showing that Spokane is the second largest city in the state — with a 2,000-person lead over Tacoma — The News Tribune's Political Buzz reminded us that Pierce County has a signficant lead over Spokane County and easily claims the highly coveted title of "Washington's Second County." We at Spin Control do not dispute this title, only its relevance.
|The Daily Show With Jon Stewart
|Mon - Thurs 11p / 10c
|Gary Locke Pt. 1
Oh right, the census.
That's why former Washington Gov. and current Commerce Secretary Gary Locke was on the Daily Show Thursday night.
The Commerce Department, see, is in charge of the Census, which is underway. It's in that government envelope you received in the mail and put with the sweepstakes, credit card touts and other stuff you'll open some time, when you get around to it … but may just throw out because the stack is getting too tall and it's late tonight and trash pickup is tomorrow morning.
Which means you are going to cost the federal government a bazillion dollars because they'll have to send a census taker to your door (about a gajillion times because you're just never home) to get the answers to the 10 little questions you could answer in about two minutes if you'd just Open the Darn Envelope and Fill Out the Damn Form.
But we digress. Locke's appearance is apparently part of the huge marketing effort underway for the census. The marketing effort seemingly did not spend a lot on writing Locke's jokes and practicing his delivery; but then, Locke was always a bit of a wonk, so he makes a decent straight man for Stewart, and manages to slip in a few interesting bits…like the question that was on the form in 1790 that isn't on the form in 2010. Answer at about 2:40 in the first clip.
And Locke does get two segments, which is more than Snoop Dogg got on Wednesday night. Second segment is below.

Pamom- I am not even a year out, still married. I know now that I will never move past the affair(s). They are now integrated into our relationship as the catalyst that changed everything. Some changes are good, some not so good and Come with the territory. I will never give him the trust I once did. I know now I cannot. I guess what I am saying here is that don't be so hard on yourself for what you are feeling. Your husband has lanced open a semi-healed wound with one of the biggest tools he carried an affair out with. You have every right to question, analyze his behavior. His "I'll prove it" statement sounds like manipulation. He is being selfish and very empathetic to you and your fears. I believe that wen we are in relationship we shouldn't do anything that makes the other uncomfortable. I believe a betrayer has to take that further in that they should never do anything purposefully that causes a trigger of the affair. So again, you are at a crossroads. What to do? You don't want the facebook account, you tell him. Remind him why. Ask him what is really going on with him. Your intuition has kicked into high gear. Head it. Keep us posted.
|Tue, 01-24-2012 - 2:21pm
Was there an agreement that he would not reopen his facebook account at any time? Personally I would not even tell him you have the password to the account if I were you. That way you can keep an eye on his behavior and you'll know how committed to the marriage he actually is.

well.... everytime he brought up the subject of fb... i would say.. NOOOOOOO...can't even handle that thought yet !!!!

For the price you cannot beat this deal for any other brand. If you are instructing a heavy leg kicker they cannot go full force. There is no coverage for inside leg kicks. Lastly the pads shift due to the single point strap so you will need to adjust as you go.
All minor negatives aside, this is a great product to have if you don't want to continually eat leg kicks for coaching.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
