Announcement: Marcus' Core Data Book Just Went Beta!
A lot of hard work has gone into this book already and I see it becoming the definitive text on the subject of Core Data. The release date is slated for March 30, 2009, but it's great to see it in beta. If you want to pick up the beta in PDF, it is available now from Pragmatic here: Core Data: Apple's API for Persisting Data under Mac OS X.
While new Cocoa programmers will find it a great help to getting started quickly with Core Data, the book also covers some really interesting and advanced topics such as data versioning and migration, Spotlight/Quick Look integration, Sync Services, and multi-threading. You can really see Marcus' command of the subject shine in these chapters which are already available in the beta.
Give Marcus some feedback on the book as it progresses. It's going to be a great reference for any Cocoa Developer looking to harness the power of Core Data.
$21.00 for the beta PDF
$41.35 for the beta PDF plus hard copy when it's released in March.
Mad props to Marcus. Congratulations!
Core Animation Tutorial: Slider Based Layer Rotation
It is often helpful to create a custom control for you application that will display a value as a level like a gas gauge shows how full your tank is. In this post I will demonstrate how to create a three layer tree that will show the current rotation of a circular layer as the value from a slider (NSSlider) is updated in real time. The layers include the root layer, the rotation layer, and a text layer that will display the current rotation in degrees.
Announcement: Marcus will be a Panelist at O'Reilly's iPhoneLive conference
Now that the NDA has been lifted we can all finally come out of the closet :)
If you have not heard, O'Reilly is hosting a conference on November 18, 2008 to discuss all things iPhone. I have been invited to attend the conference as a Panelist.
Please come and join the conference, if nothing else, to heckle me :)
The list of speakers (as opposed to panelists), is quite impressive and definitely worth the trip.
Cocoa Touch Tutorial: iPhone Application Example
Similar to one of my first blog posts on building a basic application for Mac OS X using xcode 3.0, I am going to explain for beginning iPhone/iPod Touch developers how to build the most basic Cocoa Touch application using Interface Builder and an application delegate in xcode 3.1. This tutorial post is really to provide a quick how-to. I won't go into any depth explaining why things are done the way they are done, but this should help you get up and running with your first application pretty quickly so that you too can clog the App Store with useless superfluous apps (kidding… just kidding).
If you are a visual learner, it may be helpful to you to instead watch a video presentation of this tutorial. I've posted it on the site, but you'll have to click the link to see my Cocoa Touch Video Tutorial.
Core Animation Tutorial: Core Animation And Quartz Composer (QCCompositionLayer)
Last night at NSCoder night, Fraser Hess was asking question about being able to draw in a Quartz Composer View (QCView) about which none of the rest of us had any knowledge or experience. As I've been doing a lot with Core Animation lately, I asked him if it was possible to just make the view layer backed and start adding layers to it. Fraser hasn't worked with Core Animation much yet, so he was unsure. The other three of us set to looking at docs and making demo apps. The race was on… Oh. It's not a race? Sorry about that. I thought we were practicing for Iron Coder…
Cocoa Tutorial: Adding Plugins to a Cocoa Application
A couple of weeks ago we discussed how to build frameworks and how to bundle them with a Cocoa application. This week we are going to build on that knowledge and add Plug-ins to a Cocoa application.
Core Animation Tutorial: Rendering QuickTime Movies In A CAOpenGLLayer
I've been experimenting a great deal lately with OpenGL and QuickTime trying to see how the two technologies work together. It's been a bit challenging, but fortunately Apple provides two really great resources–number one, sample code. I've been able to learn a lot just from the samples they provide in the development tools examples as well as online. And second, the cocoa-dev and quicktime-api lists are great. Lot's of brilliant people there who are willing to share their knowledge. It's very helpful, prohibition to discuss the iPhone SDK notwithstanding.
Getting two technologies to work together can be a challenge especially when the bridges between the two are not necessarily clearly laid out in documentation. As I pointed out Apple provides some excellent sample code to help you along, but there is no hand-holding approach to any of it. I actually appreciate that having come from the Windows world as it seems that there all you get sometimes is hand-holding where Microsoft doesn't trust you, the developer to figure things out and really own what you're doing. But I digress (wouldn't be a CIMGF post if I didn't dig on MS a bit).
Cocoa Tutorial: Creating your very own framework
There are numerous situations where creating your own framework is advantageous. Perhaps you have a block of code that you use repeatedly in many different projects. Perhaps you are building a plug-in system for your application and want the infrastructure to be available both to the application and to any plugins that are coded.
A Cocoa framework is another project type in Xcode. The end result is a bundle, similar to an application bundle. Inside of this bundle is the compiled code you wrote and any headers that you want exposed. The headers are important. Without them, just like any other piece of Objective-C code, it is very hard to code against.
Cocoa Tutorial: Sync Services without Core Data
Sync Services have come a long way in Leopard. Before Leopard it was an extremely complex operation that was almost completely manual. Needless to say, this sucked and it was probably one of the reasons it was shunned by most developers.
If you are using Core Data in a Leopard application then Sync Services is so trivial that you should be syncing if it makes sense. In this article we are going to cover syncing in a non-Core Data situation as that is quite a bit more complex.
If you have read the Sync Services documentation then you know it is complex. Let me dispel an illusion right away. It is hard. It is not poor documentation, syncing is very hard and very few people get it right. Take a look at Omnifocus to see an example of a company thinking it is easy and losing data. Therefore if you are expecting this subject to be trivial you will be disappointed.
In this example we will be syncing with the bookmarks schema and displaying them in a simple outline view. The outline view itself will be editable and those edits can be synced back. Not terribly useful but provides a very simple example.
Cocoa Tutorial: C# LINQ Or Cocoa Key Paths And NSPredicate
I think it may be helpful to demonstrate how to perform certain tasks in Cocoa from the perspective of a Windows programmer. And considering that I was one, it seems that I may be able to help shine some light on some of the issues that programmers face when coming over to the Mac platform. In this post I want to highlight one of Objective-C's coolest features, key-value coding, in light of a Microsoft technology that was introduced in the most recent edition of the .NET framework (v3.5).
Microsoft's new technology called LINQ, which stands for Language Integrated Query provides a way for developers to massage data collections using a SQL-like syntax that is built right into the language. You can perform simple data queries like this.
List products = GetProductList();
var soldOutProducts =
from p in products
where p.UnitsInStock == 0
select p;
Console.WriteLine("Sold out products:");
foreach (var product in soldOutProducts)
Console.WriteLine("{0} is sold out!", product.ProductName);
Notice how it has a very SQL like syntax. It's actually very powerful and robust. There are a lot of capabilities. Take a look at the 101 LINQ Samples page if you would like to see more examples. What's most interesting to me though is that the ideas behind this technology are not new.
If you're new to Cocoa, you've probably heard of key-value coding and have probably even worked through some examples of its use without really understanding it. While the usage is different between the two, these technologies provide similar capabilities. Objective-C just had them first.
Cocoa Tutorial: libxml and xmlreader
Let us pretend for a moment that NSXMLDocument was not available to your Cocoa application for some reason. Perhaps you have low memory requirements, perhaps you are running on a slimmed down version of OS X. Whatever the reason, for the purposes of this exercise, NSXMLDocument does not exist.
Let us now assume that we have a requirement to parse an xml document quickly and without loading the entire tree into memory in a object structure. In a situation like this libxml comes in handy. Unfortunately it is quite a bit more complicated than calling alloc init on NSXMLDocument.
libxml is a C library that is included with all current releases of OS X. With this library we can quickly read in a document, scrape the information we need out of that document and avoid loading the entire tree into memory at once. In addition, libxml (and more specifically xmlReader) does this very quickly, far faster than NSXMLDocument which is very useful when you have a lower end CPU. In this project we are going to create a simple application that reads in an xml file containing a list of people, their names and their ages. For the purposes of demonstration we are going to load that data into an array of NSDictionary objects and display it in a standard Cocoa window.
Cocoa Tutorial: Windows OOP vs Cocoa MVC
Encapsulate everything! Right? Or not. I was watching the Cocoa developers email list today and saw a post asking for help getting two views to communicate between one another. Having been a Windows programmer for longer than I'm willing to admit, I recognized the question as it was one that I also had when I moved to Objective-C on the Mac. I think I can ask the question more succinctly now than I could then. Better phrased it would be "I have a dialog object that I instantiated and obtained some data from the user with it. I now need to get that data out of my dialog object back into my main window object where I can do something with it. How can I get the information back into my main window from the dialog?"
In Windows, more specifically C# .NET, you would create a new window by adding a Windows Form object that you could then edit with the designer adding various controls pretty easily. But once that window was created, you now need to create an instance of it in your main window code and then provide public accessors to assign or obtain data between the two windows. The window class generated by the Windows Form template encapsulates everything for you. It certainly makes the code look clean, but it really breaks the Model View Controller paradigm so it's no wonder Windows programmers (myself included) have a hard time shifting their way of thinking.
A git quickie
After reading Fraser Speirs' excellent write-up on his conversion over to git, I followed a few of the links to find a bash script to display your current git branch in the command prompt. Following yet another link from that post showed how to convert the bash script to zsh.
Here is my contribution to move that from the prompt to the right side of the screen.
function parse_git_branch {
git branch --no-color 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/(\1)/'
function precmd() { RPS1="%~$(parse_git_branch)" }
export PS1='> '
Note that the last line just gives me a very short left hand prompt which I prefer.
A Case Against Dot Syntax
I was not born an Objective-C developer. I know that in some circles that is considered a mortal sin. Before learning Objective-C and Cocoa I had developed in a great number of languages dating back to the early 1980's. I tell you this so that what you are about to read next is taken in the light that it was intended.
Take a look at the following lines of code:
- (void)doSomethingSpecial
myVar.itsAttribute = 10;
myOtherVar.itsAttribute = 20;
Now tell me, what is myVar and myOtherVar. Is it an object or a struct? Can't tell from that piece of code can you. That is half of my argument against dot syntax in Objective-C. It makes the meaning of your code unclear. Objective-C is known for its self documenting nature. Dot Syntax removes that.
The audacity of [some] Windows Developers
Thanks to our beloved iPhone (I do refrain from calling it "My Precious"), we have seen a sudden influx of Windows Developers. Now, when most of us came over to OS X and Objective-C from whatever platform we hailed from we did not assume that everything would be the same. Most of us are reasonable people and realize that OS X is different for a reason. Unfortunately, it appears that we are unusual people. Perhaps this would explain why we came over to this platform before it became "popular".
With this recent influx of developers, most of whom we have welcomed with open arms, there are some who expect everything to be the same as the platform they came from and without bothering to learn or experiment have proclaimed our development tools to be "prehistoric". This truly amazes me.
First, welcome to OS X and iPhone development. This is not the same language, platform and API you have been dealing with. Accept that or go home. We are not going to change it to suit you. We like it just the way it is.
We do things differently over here. Accept that or go home.
You have an interest in either OS X or the iPhone. To do a proper application for either one (barring a few edges cases), you need to learn Objective-C and Cocoa. Accept that … well you get the idea.
Objective-C has been around for a long time and it is a well thought out language. It is a runtime focused language and therefore things work differently than you are used to in your more structured environments.
Most of the time when these so called developers complain about Objective-C I simply roll my eyes and walk the other way. It is the sane thing to do. Never wrestle with a pig — you get dirty and the pig likes it. However, one particular "genius" has decided to out himself on his own blog. Of course I speak of none other than Jesse Ezell.
It is clear from this blog post that he has no interest in learning why OS X, Cocoa and Objective-C are different from his beloved Visual Studio but instead cries that it is too hard. I mean, seriously, complaining about NSObject vs Object? Perhaps he did not bother to learn that there is more than one root object in Objective-C? And then go to on and complain about MVC like its the devil's music? Hopefully he is not the best that .net has to offer us!
But even with all of that, I read his post, chucked and moved on. It was not until he responded to the comments on that post that I decided to respond. It seems, from his perspective, that if a developer cares enough about their development environment to respond to his rant (and try to educate him!) that we are all "rabit elitists" out to get him!
First the word is rabid, not rabit. If you were using OS X you could have seen that it was misspelled and used the dictionary to figure out what the word meant. If you can't even bother to run a spellchecker why bother writing at all?
Second, we care about our platform. We care about the code that we produce and how our applications look and are presented to the user. I know that is probably an extremely foreign concept where he comes from. But we care!
When developers come over here with preconceptions they do everyone a disservice. If they cannot even be bothered to pick up a book and read about the language to understand its fundamentals and its tools then why bother complaining about it. They are a waste of space. Move over and let someone who is willing to learn step up to the plate.
As for this developer's ego and contempt for the developers on this platform — shame on him. His arrogance speaks towards his ignorance. He probably has written more lines of code in the past few years than I have. I have found that applications on Windows tends to take ten times as many lines of code as the same application would written on Objective-C and Cocoa. That does not make this developer better — if anything it makes him worse.
My suggestion is this: Pick up a book and read. You can even just read blogs like this one and avoid having to pay any money to learn. If a developer can't be bothered then go home, we have no interest in you and certainly have no need for you.

Duke Frat Party Ignites Criticism And Racial Tension On Campus
By Shawn Wen
The Kappa Sigma fraternity at Duke University has received a huge backlash for throwing an Asian-themed party. Photos surfaced on Facebook of partiers dressed as geishas and sumo wrestlers. The same images were used by student activists to create flyers protesting the event.
More than 250 students showed up to demonstrate against Kappa Sigma's party. Host Frank Stasio is joined by Ashley Tsai, a senior at Duke University, and Eileen Chow, a visiting professor of Asian studies at Duke University, to discuss the protests against what has been called the "racist rager."

This is great stuff for young men to wear to anywhere.
I wear it to work, school, and church; I get compliments everywhere.
And I got called "the guy who smells good" for the first time with this.
Man, this stuff should have its name changed to Confidence or Obsessed.
Funny thing is that I know that this is just the beginning; I only been wearing this stuff for two weeks.
Seriously recommend this product, it's cheap and totally worth it. Thank you fragrancex.
The only problem I have with this is that I just get asked So much what it is
I'm wearing...
I was really skeptical at first because I had some bad experiences with powdery, sweet fragrances in the past. But go anywhere and ask for some cologne that smells like hanae mori, and they will tell you that there really isn't any other fragrance quite like it.
This is my first time writing a review, but I hope this helps.

I really like perfumes which can last long and can be a signature scent.But for this cologne, after spraying some on my skin, i can only sniff the faint smell within the first hour. After that it's totally gone. But i really like the first note though. It's so fresh and classy.
Wish the smell and the sillage can last longer

Comments about Hanae Mori Cologne:
The packaging and bottle is quite elegant and well designed. Received it within a few days after ordering.
With regard to how I use the product, as of now, a spray on each wrists and one on my chest. However, I might want to change from the chest area as the fragrance is quite intense for the first 5-10 minutes and then becomes quite tolerable and, surprisingly, long lasting; well beyond the entire day on my skin.
I am not much of a specialist in perfumes at all, so please take my review with a grain of salt. I will become better at discerning quality from rubbish as I continue to test other perfumes. For now, Hanae Mori was a 'safe' choice as it is my first perfume. It was a recommended and well known perfume amongst the people I recognize as more knowledgeable than me. There were other recommendations but I took a chance with this simply because I liked the name.
All in all, I am very satisfied with this fragrance and plan on using it until this flask is empty.

Students mourn five killed in Memorial Day crash as Irvine and University high school classes resume.
April 29, 1987: Christopher Quinton, 16, of Laguna Niguel; Larry Klebusits Jr., 18, of Laguna Niguel; and Allison Babcock, 16, of Irvine were killed when the car driven by Quinton veered into opposing traffic. Two other passengers in the car driven by Quinton were injured, as were the three occupants of the other vehicle.
May 23, 1996: Cody Jean Thorne, 18, of Irvine; Leon Richard Green, 20, of Cerritos; and Stephen John Lord, 20, of Laguna Beach, celebrating the end of school exams, died when the cab of a big-rig truck slammed into the side of their vintage Mustang at Jamboree Road and Main Street. The Mustang's driver, Emily Mae Hill of Laguna Beach, was sentenced to 180 days in juvenile hall after pleading no contest to three counts of felony vehicular manslaughter.
May 26, 2005: Gillian Sabet, 17, of San Clemente, and Jonathan Schulte, 16, of Orange, were killed and four others injured after their SUV rolled over on the San Joaquin Toll Road in Irvine on their way to a spring dance in Newport Beach. Sabet's family and friends later established journeysafe.org to encourage teens to drive safely and avoid distractions.
May 29, 2011: Ashton Sweet, 14, of Irvine, was killed when a pickup
drove into the sedan she was in at Irvine Boulevard and Culver Drive just after
1 a.m. Three other teenage girls in the sedan were injured. The driver of the pickup, Austin Jeffrey Farley, 28, of Irvine, was suspected of drunken driving with a previous DUI conviction and has pleaded not guilty to charges of murder in Sweet's death.
– Compiled by Michael Doss and Lauren Jow, Orange County Register
While a community grieved Wednesday over the death of five teenagers in a Memorial Day car crash, officials said the youth at the wheel of the vehicle that plowed into a tree in Newport Beach was unauthorized to drive and had been cited five weeks ago for driving illegally with passengers under the age of 20.
Abdulrahman Alyahyan, 17, a senior at University High School, had been trying to get his driving permit for about 18 months, but California Department of Motor Vehicles spokesman Artemio Armenta said the application had been held up because his immigration status couldn't be verified.
"He was driving without a permit, and he was driving without a provisional license," Armenta said. "He was not authorized to drive."
Armenta said that the DMV routinely checks with federal agencies to verify legal status and that Alyahyan's application came back marked "Legal Presence Verification Required." The department let him know he needed to provide proper documents, and Alyahyan submitted a new application and had his photo taken, a process Armenta said was again held pending verification of his legal status in the United States.
Armenta said federal officials determined Alyahyan's legal presence expired in October. Aside from a handful of states – including New Mexico, Washington, Maryland and Oregon – most states, including California, don't issue driver's licenses to immigrants here illegally.
However, it was unclear what caused his legal status to be in question.
He had come to the United States about four years ago from Saudi Arabia with his mother, two older brothers and older sister. Records of visas – tourist, student or work – are issued by the State Department and are not a matter of public record. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials could not provide specific information about his legal status.
Alyahyan was stopped by Irvine police April 20 and cited for driving with passengers under the age of 20, illegally modifying the exhaust system on the car and having tinted windows obstructing the driver's view. The stop happened at Alton Parkway and Jamboree Road, about six miles from the site of Monday's crash.
Under state statute, it's illegal for a driver in the first year of having a provisional license to drive with passengers under the age of 20. A court date hadn't been scheduled for the violation, and records showed he hadn't paid a fine.
The citation also didn't say how many passengers were in the vehicle at the time of the stop.
By Wednesday, friends and loved ones were struggling to grasp what happened on Memorial Day. A Facebook page created Wednesday called "Irvine WEAR WHITE Tomorrow" urged the community to wear white "in remembrance and respect of these five people and their families."
The page, featuring photos of the victims amid billowing white clouds and a blue sky, was headed with "Heaven Gained Some Angels" followed by the names Cecy, Robin, Christine, Nozad and Abdul.
The victims were Nozad Al Hamawendi, 17; Cecilia D. Zamora, 17 – known by friends as "Cecy"; Aurora C. Cabrera, 16 – who went by "Christine," and her sister Robin A. Cabrera, 17.
A vigil Wednesday night at Irvine High School drew hundreds, and mourners left flowers and candles at the base of the scarred tree in the median of Jamboree Road where the Infiniti that Alyahyan was driving plowed into the tree.
Investigators were still trying to piece together what happened.

"There's a reason they call us The Filth."Grant Morrison's thematic follow-up to The Invisibles, The Filth is a very darkly humourous maxiseries about Greg Feely, a hapless loner who lives alone with his ailing cat and subsists on a diet of chocolate and pornography, who one day discovers that he is really Ned Slade, a gun-toting interdimensional agent. The story is told in 13 issues (August, 2002 - October, 2003).It seems that Ned works for The Hand, AKA The Filth, a super-secret agency tasked with eliminating anything that might upset the natural balance of the world. Greg Feely is just a holiday persona used by agents who need to take time out in a fictional life to recuperate. Unfortunately, Spartacus Hughes, a body-jumping agent for The Hand, has gone rogue and Ned has been called out of his holiday to go sort things out.Or it's all a lie and Greg's finally gone crazy.Meanwhile, a group of micro-organisms created to "hug the cancer away" take over a technologically modified woman named Sharon Jones as their bio-vessel, and eventually take up residence in what may or may not be a puddle on Greg's kitchen floor, containing what may or may not be the ink supply for the whole comicverse. And then there's a Golden Age comic book hero named Secret Original, who escaped from his pages and was left permanently crippled in the attempt. And there's a little flower shop near Greg's house. And a communist chimp. And kids, kids with ant heads.The book is a snapshot of Britain in the early 2000s (paedophile-hunting mobs, security cameras on every street corner, etc.) mixed with a mad otherworld that looks like a cross between Philip K. Dick's nightmares and a rubber fetish playground.Morrison, who believes that his comics are also spells that can magically transform the consciousness of his readers, intended it to be an 'inoculation' against the horrors of modern living as well as a celebration of the nature of filth: something which is an inescapable part of living, but which humanity tends to ignore, bury or flush away.The series also revisits the concept from The Invisibles of all humans being cells in a single immense organism and puts a more literal spin on it. For example, Ned Slade is effectively an antibody and The Hand itself is an immune system for reality. Thus, the 'bad guys' represent different illnesses (body-jumping Spartacus Hughes is a virus, Anders Klimakks is an STD, etc.) that must be destroyed in order for the body to thrive. And just as the body builds up a resistance to infections by copying their traits, so The Hand reprograms rogue elements into becoming agents themselves.This also leads to a return to one of Morrison's long-standing obsessions: the repetition of patterns from one 'layer' to the next. For example, Slade is a living thinking being, but is merely an operative that exists to maintain the being that is reality. This is then replicated in the tiny nano-people that end up living inside Slade, who may themselves create smaller versions to go inside themselves, and so on and so on forever.This same concept turns up in the form of the comic book that The Hand's agents enter to acquire their Weird Science: It's possible to imagine a never-ending series of layers to reality in which the reader reads a comic about people reading a comic about people reading a comic about... well, you get the idea. Utimately, the comic is a distillation of every concept and interest that Morrison had up to that point, collected in 13 supremely odd issues.And there's a sweary communist chimp in it and everything.For porn as a plot device, see Filth.

CRISIL Research has shared a note on mutual fund AUM numbers released by AMFI for month ended October 2012. The mutual fund industry's month-end assets under management (AUM) recovered most of their losses from September to gain by around 7% (Rs 480 billion) to Rs 7.68 trillion in October 2012. This is the highest month-end AUM of the industry since April 2011. The rise was due to inflows of Rs 467 billion, most of it to income and liquid funds. The numbers were part of the monthly release by the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI).
Most inflows seen in income funds
Income funds reported the highest inflows among mutual fund categories at Rs 293 billion. The category assets increased by around 9% (Rs 311 billion) to Rs 3.84 trillion in October. With the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) maintaining a status quo on interest rates in the latest monetary policy, investors continued to prefer dynamic bond funds, short-term and ultra short-term debt funds within the category. These funds benefit when there is interest rate uncertainty.
Equity funds register outflows for the fifth month in a row
Equity funds registered outflows for the fifth consecutive month in October due to profit booking by investors. In the latest month, the category saw outflows of Rs 20 billion (Rs 36 billion in September and over Rs 90 billion in the past five months) with assets falling to Rs 1.84 trillion. The benchmark S&P CNX Nifty has risen by over 21% on a year to day basis and by over 7% over the past three months ended Oct. 31, 2012. However, the index fell by 1.5% in the latest month due to weak domestic indicators.
Gilt funds witness highest monthly inflows in four years
Gilt funds saw inflows of Rs 10 billion, the highest monthly inflows in the category since October 2008. The category assets rose by 31% to around Rs 44 billion at the end of the month. The category is expected to benefit when the RBI reverses its stance on interest rates as prices and yields move in opposite directions. A fall in interest rates would result in a rise in bond prices and positively impact gilt fund NAVs.
Liquid funds saw cyclical inflows
Liquid funds saw inflows of Rs 182 billion in October, taking the category assets up by around 14% to Rs 1.64 trillion at the end of the month. Inflows during every quarter (in this category) are cyclical in nature. Historical trends show that quarter-end outflows in the category are reversed in the subsequent month (outflows in September; inflows in October). Corporates being the major investors in this category, withdraw to meet quarter end advance tax requirements and re-invest in the subsequent month. Improvement in liquidity in the system post the cut in statutory liquidity ratio (SLR) and cash reserve ratio (CRR) by the central bank in recent months also aided inflows.
Gold ETFs post highest monthly inflows over a year
Gold exchange traded funds (ETFs) saw inflows of Rs 3.87 billion in October (Rs 3.32 billion in September), the highest monthly inflows in the category since October 2011. The month-end assets of gold ETFs rose to Rs 115 billion. The category logged inflows despite gold prices (represented by the CRISIL Gold Index) declining by 1.13% in October tracking global trends.

A person's dental health is influenced by the decisions he or she makes from the first moments after waking. Health experts have set to work determining which common breakfast foods contribute to the generation of plaque and cavities in America's children.A recent study of children between the ages of 7 and 11, which was published in the journal Pediatric Dentistry, sought to determine which of four common breakfast meals - raisins, bran flakes, commercially marketed raisin bran cereal and a mix of bran flakes with raisins without added sugar - most promoted the acid that is associated with dental plaque.Over 30 minutes, each of the foods tested were found to have promoted acid production in dental plaque, though not to the same level.According to Dr Christine Wu, director of cariology research at the University of Illinois at Chicago, commercially marketed raisin bran was the only food group tested that led to dental plaque acidity that entered a "well-documented danger zone," putting a tooth's enamel at risk for mineral loss and tooth decay.Wu further explained that acids that promote decay are produced when bacteria on teeth ferment sugars like glucose and fructose. The American Dental Association recommends regular visits to the dentist for cleanings in order to prevent tooth decay.For more information on discount dental plans call 1-888-632-5353

John Hancock Survey Finds Investors Confident About Their Own Retirement, Less So About Their Children's
BOSTON, Jan. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent John Hancock survey found that investors are relatively confident of their preparation and expectations for retirement, but are divided on the outlook for their children. Six in 10 surveyed say they expect their quality of living in retirement to be better than their own parents, and close to a third think it will be about the same, while nine percent say they expect it to be worse. Yet a third of investors believe their children's quality of life in retirement will be worse, with about 40 percent thinking it will be about the same, and three in ten expecting that their children's retirements will be better.
"Our survey findings underscore the importance for parents to encourage savings, preparation and planning when discussing finances with their children and family members," said Bill Cheney, John Hancock's Chief Economist. "Learning about and setting up retirement and college savings plans can go a long way toward building confidence and financial security."
The findings were drawn from the fourth quarter 2013 John Hancock Investor Sentiment Survey, a quarterly poll of affluent investors.
Just over four in ten investors would not change anything about their retirement preparation. Nearly 30 percent wish they had saved more from the beginning, and 13 percent wish they had started planning earlier.For half of those responding to the survey, their personal vision of retirement is best described by "being able to spend time as [they] choose." Spending time with family and friends and spending time relaxing were the next best descriptions (35 percent). One in five said that continuing to do work that they enjoy best describes their personal vision of retirement. Of the 44 percent of investors who say they plan to work in retirement, 36 percent said they will likely work at a part-time job different from the one they held, while 28 percent expect to continue their existing job on a part-time basis. Sixteen percent plan to do charitable or volunteer work.

Whirlpool used to sell propane refrigerators in Europe, but didn't dare do it in the US, because they had a tendency to explode. The cost in law suits was acceptable in Europe, but in the US, with their fancy pants lawyers, made the lives of Americans worth too much to be acceptable losses…Take pride, folks, your life is worth more than a Frenchman's….

@Thirdguy: Let's not blow it out of proportion.
That must be the bar room.
Sadly, in a country where you actually have to put a warning on a ladder telling people to NOT step on the top rung, or you might fall off, or where you have to put a warning on a cup of coffee warning people "Contents might be hot!", I can almost see where corporate America has developed this mindset!
What ever happened to "Personal Responsibility"??
It's been replaced with "Who can I SUE??"

Gear Review
Awesome Product!!!!
David Page
Member since
Totally bomb-proof. I use them 20 to 25 days this past winter for both skiing and playing in the snow. I really can't see these every wearing out at my rate of use. High value pants. Expensive but worth it. Fit is more slender than other pants by patagonia. easy to glide them on and off. they seal out the snow and cold. Best feature is that they breathe extremely well even in very warm spring days. I questioned the light gray when buying but it works well with most any color.

Home down, now it's out
Building official wants fire-ravaged house razed immediately
PLYMOUTH — The burned-out house at 139 Todd Hollow Road that went up in flames twice in two weeks is slated to be torn down under orders of building official Clarence B. Atkinson.
Atkinson said he has inspected the house, which was to be sold at a foreclosure sale Saturday, and deemed it unsafe. Atkinson said he fears that children will try to go exploring and be injured in the house, half of which is a charred wreck in danger of caving in.

Adams's Guide to Strange Places travels widely(December 2001)
Adams's Guide to Strange Places travels widely
Amsterdam - London - Paris - Brussels - Washington - New York
John Adams's newest orchestral work, Guide to Strange Places, is travelling widely following its highly successful premiere at the Matinee series in Amsterdam. The first performance was given on 6 October at the Concertgebouw by the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic conducted by Edo de Waart. The BBC Symphony Orchestra gives the UK premiere on 20 January as part of the John's Earbox festival at the Barbican and then tours the new work to France and Belgium for concerts promoted by the Cité de la Musique in Paris and the Société Philharmonique de Bruxelles. The US premiere takes place in autumn 2002 with Leonard Slatkin conducting the National Symphony in Washington and it will be choreographed by Peter Martins for New York City Ballet in spring 2003.
"This twenty-five-minute roller-coaster ride can perhaps best be described as 'Adams's Sacre' - such overwhelming drive is usually only encountered in Stravinsky's music." Trouw (Amsterdam)
"...a sound-journey through intriguing territories, where canyon-deep contrabassoons are entwined with rarefied string melodies." De Telegraaf (Amsterdam)
Guide to Strange Places follows on from the oratorio El Niño in fusing the kinetic, minimalist style of Adams's earlier works, with the complex polyrhythms and intricate shifting colour fields of much of his music from the 1990s. The score begins in the motoric open-top vein of Fearful Symmetries or Road Movies, but soon drives us towards darker and more ambivalent territory. Mountainous landscapes rear up as barriers against progress, and frightening chasms interrupt the journey, which becomes progressively more nightmarish until motion is halted by a threatening bass melody.

By KPMG EnterpriseThurs, March 29, 2012 @ 11:00 AM
The following article by Stewart Thornhill (Executive Director, Pierre L. Morrissette Institute for Entrepreneurship) was published on the Ivey website on March 27, 2012.
Like the old adage "success breeds success", there is much to learn from the experiences of successful Canadian entrepreneurs, particularly those who never gave up and pushed beyond when they were told their ideas wouldn't make it. Their confidence and perseverance is inspiring. That's the premise behind the new book, That'll Never Work: Business Lessons From Successful Entrepreneurs , compiled by KPMG Enterprise™. Published by Portfolio Penguin and released on March 6, the book profiles 19 entrepreneurs who beat the odds and built successful businesses despite the doubters around them. By sharing insights and advice, their stories are hoped to help other entrepreneurs to tap opportunities.
On March 29, I'll be interviewing some of the entrepreneurs profiled in That'll Never Work during a panel discussion on entrepreneurship to glean additional insights from their experiences. The event is part of the Ivey Idea Forum, a series of interactive presentations to explore new ideas, perspectives and solutions for evolving business issues with thought-provoking leaders, writers and academics, and will run from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. at Ivey's ING DIRECT Leadership Centre.
Our guests will include:
Their stories are beyond just inspiring, they're actual proof that you can make it as an entrepreneur with the right expertise on execution, leadership, competitive strategy and innovation. Below is a sampling of their advice and I hope you'll join us on March 29 to hear more about their stories and the factors behind their success. Full details can be found at Ivey Idea Forum: That'll Never Work. KPMG Enterprise™ is also looking for entrepreneurs and business owners with an interesting "That'll Never Work" story to share it at http://www.thatllneverwork.ca/ for consideration for the next edition of the book.
Advice from the entrepreneurs from That'll Never Work
*From Chapter 1, COMMUNITY IN THE CUP, Tracey Clark, Bridgehead Coffee
The best advice I can give to people who may be starting out in business is to have perseverance. You need to feed the business before you feed yourself. Have a very strong, clear picture of what it is you want to achieve and continue to build on it. Sometimes you have to be a bit "blind" in business. In retrospect, if I knew how much work would be involved, I may not have taken on the challenge of opening Bridgehead, especially when others were telling me it wouldn't work. I needed to put on my blinders in order to stay focused on my clear picture of where I wanted to be – determined and willing to take on the events at hand, like the closing of the Montreal store. To be successful in business, you need to stick to your decisions without regrets and be willing to ask for help when you need it.
*From Chapter 7, TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP AND THE ART OF TAKING CONTROL, Gayle Robin, StrategicAmpersand Inc.
... you also need to keep a lens focused on the bottom line. You need information. You must have a financial infrastructure in place. We still do a P&L on every single project, including monthly financial statements, monthly cash flow forecasts, and monthly sales forecasts. We're never surprised. We always know what our financial position is, and I think most small businesses don't. This is a crucial mistake, because without this information you don't know when you should reduce or increase your staff, reduce or increase your office space, reduce your expenses, reduce your salaries, reduce management salaries, reduce your benefits improve your cash flow, reduce or increase your pricing, reduce or increase your profit margins, or renegotiate with your bank. You won't have the power to do any of these things. *From Chapter 11, FROM AN IDEA TO AN EMPIRE: THE LITTLE RECYCLING COMPANY THAT COULD, Louis Anagnostakos and Ted Manziaris, Turtle Island Recycling
LOUIS: I think the key to success is to always focus on your core competencies and on your customers. When someone cancels our service it's the biggest wake-up call because it's like getting a divorce. If this happens a lot, you've got problems. You have to quickly figure out what went wrong and try to improve. Sometimes it has happened because of a bad driver and sometimes because off a better price. Either way, it probably happened because we forgot about the customer. You really need to be on edge. If you're on edge you'll be okay because you will react swiftly. When people tell us it's not working and they throw us out, we regroup and hit back fast.
