The Middleby Corporation Reports First Quarter Results
Mr. Bassoul continued, "Sales and orders at our Food Processing Group slowed in the first quarter as growth rates have moderated from a stronger 2010 which included a rebound of capital spending as a number of projects had been deferred in 2008 and 2009. While orders have slowed in the first half, customer inquiries and quoting activity remains strong and we see increasing demand for new equipment in emerging markets. We also continue to remain excited about sales opportunities for the new products developed and introduced over the past eighteen months."
Mr. Bassoul concluded, "We continue to execute on our acquisition strategy of acquiring leading brands and technologies. We were pleased to recently announce acquisitions of the Lincat Group PLC and Beech Ovens. Lincat Group PLC is a leading manufacturer in the UK of ranges, ovens and counterline cooking equipment under the Lincat brand name and kitchen processing equipment under the IMC brand name. This acquisition is anticipated to be completed later in the second quarter. Beech, which was acquired in April, is a leading manufacturer of hearth stone ovens with a strong presence in the emerging markets. With these acquisitions, Middleby adds three very strong leading brands to its portfolio of brands and further extends Middleby's global presence."

[[caption-width-right:340:"My precious..."]]
->''"This stone is not yet twenty years old. It was found in the banks of the Amoy River in soutern China and is remarkable in having every characteristic of the carbuncle, save that it is blue in shade instead of ruby red. In spite of its youth, it has already a sinister history. There have been two murders, a vitriol-throwing, a suicide, and several robberies brought about for the sake of this forty-grain weight of crystallised charcoal. Who would think that so pretty a toy would be a purveyor to the gallows and the prison?"''
-->-- '''Literature/SherlockHolmes''', "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle"
The Artifact of Attraction is an object that goes beyond being merely desirable for its own sake and is supernaturally super desirable. It can cause a group of friends to [[GoldFever become paranoid and distrustful]], making them [[AHouseDivided stop working together]] or even [[AppleOfDiscord come to blows]] over ownership. Unsurprisingly for an object that can bring about a veritable HatePlague on those who set eyes on it (or even just ''know of its existence)'', the Artifact Of Attraction tends to be a powerful {{Curse}}d item, though a few uncursed ones can get this kind of reputation.
Any object can serve as an Artifact of Attraction, but they tend to have a certain ''[[GratuitousFrench je ne sais quoi]]''. They may be a luxury item like a fashionable pair of red shoes and ring, or a perfectly mundane red stapler and warm blanket.
Knowing the Artifact of Attraction is capable of this doesn't stop the effects it causes, but may give the heroes enough warning to [[HeroicWillpower resist the effects]] long enough to destroy it or give it to the bad guys. Of course, because of its nature no one wants to destroy it, making this kind of curse ideal for preserving an ArtifactOfDoom and AmuletOfDependency from being destroyed.
Though plenty lethal on its own, the Artifact Of Attraction may be triple enchanted to serve as an ArtifactOfDeath (to up the kill count) and as an ArtifactOfDoom (to corrupt the hapless holder) and serve as a trifecta of desire, death and corruption.
To neutralize such problems, the heroes can always follow the example of the Hope Diamond and [[ItBelongsInAMuseum donate it to a museum]]. That kind of unselfish act often means that the curse is broken while the item is kept in a safe place for everyone to enjoy... and get stolen by villains too dumb to realize EvilIsNotAToy.
Not to be confused with AppleOfDiscord, which is not about the object, but a group of friends bickering to the point of coming to blows after a seemingly trivial comment or question (who is fairest, strongest, etc), or with GoldFever, which is about the mentality that makes normally good people so greedy and paranoid they want to kill their friends and fellow prospectors to possess gold or some other valuable.
Compare HypnoTrinket and {{Glamour}}.
[[folder:Comic Books]]
* There's an inversion in ''ComicBook/GreenLantern''. Larfleeze, the Orange Lantern of the light of avarice, is the greediest being in the cosmos. How greedy? Everything and even everyone he sees become Artifacts of Attraction for him. He hoards precious and useless things and he even "steals" the people he kills by turning them into "[[LivingMemory ghosts]]" under his control, making up the [[GreenLanternCorps Orange Lantern Corps]].
* The Golden Helmet from CarlBarks' ''Donald Duck'' comic of the same name is a headgear version of the One Ring Of Power. Using an ancient edict, an AmoralAttorney has come up with some legal mumbo jumbo that declares anyone who owns the helmet becomes legal king of North America, and one by one, the heroes succumb to the temptation and decide they don't just want to keep it away from the villain, they want to rule North America themselves! They eventually manage to throw it into Mt. D-- sorry, the ocean, only for it to reappear courtesy of [[LuckyBastard Gladstone Gander]] in a sequel by [[Creator/DonRosa Keno Don Rosa]].
[[folder:Fan Works]]
* The Slytherin Horcrux ring has this effect on [[spoiler:Sirius]] in ''Fanfic/OhGodNotAgain''. Harry telling him that putting the ring on [[ArtifactOfDeath would kill him]] doesn't disillusion him in the least. Hilariously, he's only able to resist when Harry says, "[[spoiler:Sirius]], if you put that on then Snape will have to save your life. SNAPE.
[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* From the quotation on the beginning of the post: the precious ring of ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings''. This is an especially dark example, given that Sméagol ''murders his best friend'' not two minutes after merely seeing the ring, just to get it for himself.
* The Coke bottle from ''Film/TheGodsMustBeCrazy'' is treated like this. It's pretty and useful, but the fact that there's only one causes the tight-knit villagers to fight over it. It's also harder than anything that can be found in the Kalahari Desert (namely wood or bone), so to dispose of it, the protagonist sets off on his quest to throw it off the edge of the world.
* South Korean film ''The Red Shoes'' has the eponymous (highly cursed) red shoes. Every woman who sees them wants to wear them, and will even steal them from treasured friends to do so. Once put on they get murdered horribly by a ghost.
* ''Film/TheBlueMax'' concerns one of Germany's highest bravery awards in UsefulNotes/WW1. And the lengths a pilot called Bruno Stachel will go to in order to win it.
* The Holy Grail had this effect in ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade''. Its the source of the divide between Indiana Jones and his father, who spent his whole life studying it. Meanwhile, the grails allure drives both villains to their doom. First, Walter Donovan drinks from a decoy grail, causing him to age to death. Then, Elsa Schneider attempts to take the grail out of the temple with disastrous results. In a LiteralCliffhanger moment, shes so tempted to reach for the grail instead of Indianas hand that she loses her grip and falls to her death. Indy nearly suffers the same fate trying to reach the Grail, but his father convinces him to let it go.
* In ''Film/TheBrassTeapot'' the titular Teapot has the power to draw people to it. Touching it once is enough to fall under its power and do anything to try to obtain it.
* In Creator/JRRTolkien's books:
** The title Silmarils in ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'' are a prime example of Artifacts of Attraction. They don't have any special powers and possessing them provides the owner with no benefits whatsoever. But when Finwë (the creator Fëanor's father) is murdered and his murderer Morgoth (the local Devil stand-in) takes them with him just because they looked interesting, Fëanor swears revenge and makes an oath that he, his sons, and their people will not rest until the murder is avenged and the three jewels returned to their rightful owners. 500 years and no less than seven battles of epic proportions later, almost the entire High Elven nobility has been wiped out one after another, thousands if not millions of elves have been killed by orcs or other elves, and the entire region of Beleriand has been swallowed by the ocean, just because eight elves did not KnowWhenToFoldEm.\\\
And all of the Silmarils end up where mortals (and immortals alike) can no longer reach them, [[ShootTheShaggyDog by the way]]. One was sunk into the depths of the sea, one was thrown into a fissure into the core of the Earth, and the final became the planet ''Venus''. Though that might have been the only way to end the whole mess.\\\
The Silmarils were so attractive that Morgoth wore them in a crown even though their light burned him. The burns were severe enough that they would never heal, but he kept the Silmarils anyway.
** The One Ring in ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' has this power. Everyone who loses the ring wants to retake it. Even worse, anyone who brings the Ring to the one place that can [[NoManShouldHaveThisPower destroy the Ring]], then decides to keep the Ring.
** The Arkenstone of ''Literature/TheHobbit'' implicitly has this effect, though it may not be strictly supernatural but rather an enhanced form of GoldFever caused by the gem's immense value and uniqueness.
*** Given the appearance of the Arkenstone in the films (glowing with its own inner light), it's been suggested that the Arkenstone [[{{Fanon}} is the Silmaril that was thrown into the depths of the earth]].
* The Zahir from JorgeLuisBorges' 1949 short story ''El Zahir'' is the most fascinating object in the world. It doesn't matter what it is - but there's always one Zahir in the world at any one time. ''Zahir'' is an Arabic word meaning "the obvious meaning," "the conspicuous" or "something that cannot be ignored."
** Later, Borges wrote that one of the characters of this tale, Teodelina Villar, was a deconstruction of this trope: Who could be fascinating to anyone in RealLife? A ShallowLoveInterest, someone who nobody (not even the guy who is in love with her) can define ''why'' is he in love: Teodelina was a RichInDollarsPoorInSense RichBitch when she was young, and then she was a FallenPrincess. Even when Borges describes her as pretty stupid, he claims to love her, even when he cannot justify why, except because Borges admit he is a snob.
** This trope is deconstructed again at ''"Deutsches Requiem:"'' [[ThoseWackyNazis Otto Dietrich Zur Linde]], [[StateSec director of a concentration camp]], realizes that he could invoke this trope as a form of ColdBloodedTorture. He even describes this method, [[AndSomeOtherStuff but an editor censors it:]]
-->''I had realized many years before I met David Jerusalem that [[ArtifactOfAttraction everything in the world can be the seed of a possible hell; a face, a word, a compass, an advertisement for cigarettesanything can drive a person insane if that person cannot manage to put it out of his mind. Wouldn't a man be mad if he constantly had before his mind's eye the map of Hungary?]] I decided to apply this principle to the disciplinary regimen of our house, and'' [--4--]... [[ColdBloodedTorture ''In late 1942, Jerusalem went insane; on March 1, 1943, he succeeded in killing himself'']].
-->[--4--] [[AndSomeOtherStuff ''Here, the excision of a number of lines has been unavoidable. Ed.'']]
* Creator/RudyardKipling's ''Literature/TheSecondJungleBook'' story ''"The King's Ankus"'' is named after a jewel-studded ivory artifact that [[NubileSavage Mowgli]] finds in a lost treasure chamber and then carelessly discards. He soon discovers that the Ankus causes men to kill each other (The reader knows if for greed, but not Mowgli) and wonders why [[RaisedByWolves he alone]] is immune. Mowgli invokes this trope as the only logical answer.
* Red gold from the ''Literature/{{Belgariad}}''.
* The Sword of Tears from ''[[Literature/{{Dragonlance}} The Legend of Huma]]''.
* In Creator/ENesbit's ''Literature/FiveChildrenAndIt'', the children accidentally wish their youngest sibling into this. Fortunately, it wears off at sunset, after a ''long'' day spent chasing after everyone who kidnapped him.
* In ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive'', Shardblades, which may not have any supernatural attraction, but they're so valuable (there are approximated to be a hundred ''on the planet'') that they may as well.
* Also [[TheSwordThatSpeaks Nightblood]] from the same author's ''Literature/{{Warbreaker}}''; not its primary purpose, but deliberately built in because it was created to destroy evil and needs a mechanism to detect such (since a sword has no innate sense of right and wrong). Essentially, anyone who is exposed to Nightblood ''and'' is someone who would want to wield such a powerful weapon for destructive purposes will be compelled to take it and draw it, at which point [[ArtifactOfDeath another of the sword's powers kicks in]]. Those who do ''not'' want to use it for destructive purposes can wield it safely, though it makes them uneasy to touch it. This isn't, however, a perfect test- TheDragon is able to resist the effect because even though he's a bad guy, he ''doesn't'' want to use Nightblood.
* The Apple of Discord from ''The Literature/{{Illuminatus}}-trilogy'' has the power to appear as the most desirable object or concept that whoever viewing it holds in their mind. It's used unexpectedly for benign purposes, preventing a small army of Nazi zombies from slaughtering thousands of festival goers.
* The Elder Wand in ''Literature/HarryPotter'', a wand so powerful that nearly every person who has ever owned it was murdered by someone else who wanted it. The only known exceptions have been [[spoiler:Dumbledore (who died for other reasons), Draco Malfoy (who never realized its significance until it escaped his grasp), and Harry himself (who decided it was too risky for him to use).]] Possibly subverted given that nearly every owner has also ''[[TooDumbToLive bragged]]'' that their wand made them invincible. Thus leading to others killing them for it.
* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' novels, the "Gonne" from ''Discworld/MenAtArms''. Maybe it's just due to [[FantasyGunControl the lack of guns in Discworld]], but the gonne appears to have a demonic power that draws people into using it.
* In AndreNorton's ''Storm Over Literature/{{Warlock}}'', Shann finds it hard to release the bone coin.
** In ''Forerunner Foray'', the clay lump so draws Ziantha that she goes to apport it almost immediately.
[[folder:Live-Action TV ]]
* The Sword of Kahless in ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine''. Kor starts seeing it as a way to reclaim his glory days in the Empire and Worf nearly lets Kor fall to his death (he claimed there was a ledge that Kor could reach below, but Kor couldn't see one and Dax saw it and could tell it wouldn't support Kor's weight) in an attempt to keep the sword for himself. Eventually, Dax has enough of Klingon posturing and [[NoNonsenseNemesis stuns them both]] just to get them to shut up. The writers resisted any attempt to say that the sword or the air or whatever had any kind of mind-altering effect and that it was simply the idea of having the sword once possessed by Kahless himself that made them act like they had. In this case, simple lust for power is a likely culprit, as both Klingons contend that ownership of the sword would give the holder a solid claim to leadership of the Klingon Empire. Considering the holy status of Kahless, this is a pretty reasonable argument.
* An episode of ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' parodied the attractiveness of [[Literature/LordOfTheRings The One Ring]] by having the geek protagonists discover a (stolen) ring prop actually used in the movie and going to ridiculous lengths to make sure it was shared fairly, then fighting over who should get to keep it. Highlights include Sheldon having a nightmare where he turns into Gollum, while Leonard finally decides to end the fighting by sending it back to it's rightful owner, Creator/PeterJackson... only to reveal he's ''actually'' hidden in a box under his bed.
--> '''Leonard''': My precious...
* One episode of ''Series/{{Angel}}'' had a group of thieves (and Gunn and Angel, who'd infiltrated the group) try to steal a shroud containing the soul of a demon, which turned them against each other.
* ''Series/TheTenthKingdom'' has magical shoes that make the wearer invisible, but the longer you have/wear them, the more you want to keep wearing them...
* ''Series/{{Grimm}}'' had the Coins of Zakynthos, which gave the person holding it charisma and a great feeling of power (useful for creating a CultOfPersonality, which helped UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler create his), but made them erratic and obsessed with keeping them, even going as far as killing for it. The person possessing the coins will always be in danger, since many people want them.
[[folder:Print Media]]
* [[http://www.theonion.com/content/node/45795 This story]] from ''Website/TheOnion'' about a wool blanket.
[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* Any artifact or relic in 1st edition ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' could have this one of the random/chosen by DM side effects for the item in question - it would thematically fit the "Jacinth of Inestimable Beauty", an incredibly large and beautiful gemstone capable of charming anyone viewing it.
* Wagner's ''Theatre/TheRingOfTheNibelung'' features a magic lump of gold from the Rhine river which, if forged by one who had renounced love, could be made into a ring that would turn its bearer into the master of the universe. Guess what Alberich the Dwarf decides to do. Eventually, though, the Ring gets stolen from Alberich, so he places a curse upon it: Everyone would desire the ring, and whoever possessed it would eventually be undone by it.
[[folder:Video Games]]
* The [[spoiler:Red Marker and the Black Marker]] in ''Franchise/DeadSpace'' have this effect. The hallucinations of [[spoiler:deceased]] friends and relatives will often urge the victims to "protect the [[spoiler:Marker]]" which often leads to them being fanatically devoted to the [[spoiler:Marker]] in a matter of hours. Not even Unitologists are safe- the [[spoiler:Red and Black Markers]] both affect everyone equally.
* The "World's Most Interesting Bomb" in ''VideoGame/{{MDK}}''. Dropping it causes every enemy to drop what they're doing and run up to ogle the bomb. [[CaptainObvious Which then explodes.]]
* in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', the [[spoiler:lyrium idol]] that Hawke and Varric find in the Primeval Thaig. Being made of the supposed 'leftover creation' (lyruim), it is able to draw people to itself. It starts with Varric's brother, convincing him to lock Hawke and friends in the thaig, then ends up [[spoiler:in the hands of Meredith]], who has it forged into a sword. [[spoiler:From there she clings to it religiously and becomes drastically harsher more paranoid of mages.]] Without this trait, almost the entire endgame could have been averted.
* Reaper artifacts in ''Franchise/MassEffect'' cause a weaker form of the indoctrination that will gradually condition organics in close proximity to protect or use the artifact. This is most frequently seen with humans willingly impaling themselves on Dragon's Teeth but also plays a major role in the ''Arrival'' [=DLC=] with Object Rho.
[[folder:Web Comics]]
* ''Webcomic/{{Nodwick}}'' has "This One Ring" as a parody of The One Ring, from [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings you know where]]. It didn't do anything and was eventually replaced by "This One Rock". Which also did nothing. Everyone still wanted both of them.
* The NSFW comic ''Webcomic/{{Oglaf}}'' has an interesting variation on the [[http://oglaf.com/pinecone/ Artifact of Attraction]].
[[folder:Web Originals]]
* Janice from ''WebVideo/WhyNotJanice'' has her [=MacBook=] pro and her cell phone. Don't you dare ask her what time it is. And how does she wrap the computer up? Not only completely safe in one blanket like the rest of us: she has three layers to hide it from the world and protect it from any potential damage.
[[folder: Western Animation ]]
* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': The RunningGag of Roger's golden jewel-encrusted poo (a.k.a. ''"The golden turd"'') (also an ArtifactOfDeath).
* The episode "Crystal Canyon" of ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats'' has the Keystone, an object that can boost the powers and intellect of the holder, [[AmuletOfDependency but is addictive.]] Tygra and Alluro fight over it before Alluro gets it and Tygra is forced to give up the addiction.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "Three Men and a Comic Book", the #1 issue of ''Radioactive Man'' acts like this on Bart, Milhouse and Martin.
* The key and the treasure itself, in the episode "The Lost Treasure of the Golden Squirrel" of ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar''.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "Lesson Zero", Twilight Sparkle's Smarty Pants doll takes this role after she enchants it with a "Want it, Need it" spell, causing practically every pony who sees it to fight each other over it.
* The [[LampshadeHanging Mary]] {{McGuffin}} doll in ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' is so appealing that girls fight over it -- which is what caused it to be pulled from the shelves in the first place.
[[folder:Real Life]]
* Many expensive luxury goods have this effect, which is part of the reason that older rich folk go without them. A shiny new Porsche is considerably more likely than a low end Toyota to "disappear" if you leave the key in the ignition.
* The legendary Hope Diamond started out as the biggest blue diamond in the world and even after being cut down a few times is still [[WesternAnimation/AmericanDad ginormagantuan]]. The story is that it was stolen from a temple in India and the god who was robbed laid a terrible curse on the gem. Every owner of the Hope has suffered immense tragedies; deaths of family and friends, collapsing businesses, ruined reputations, all that. And yet there was always someone who was willing to chance the curse just so they could say they owned the Hope. The last owner donated it to the Smithsonian and so far nothing bad has happened to them. The ''actual'' story of the Hope diamond is quite the opposite. The jewel has been owned by various people like Catherine the Great; very few of the supposed 'mysterious deaths' attributed to the diamond were those of people to have ever actually owned it.
* Gold has been this -- there's even a term for it: "GoldFever".

MLS Reaches Deal with Players to Avert Strike
Miami Marlins' spending spree extends to all facets of the team
Steve Cishek has no intention of ditching his traditional meal before every Marlins game: a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. But ask the tall bullpen ace what he thinks about the team's new culinary creations, or the new creature-comfort plane that will haul the Marlins around the country this season, and his eyes turn to saucers. "Are you kidding me? I'm excited," said Cishek, a lanky 6-6 closer who is already relishing the thought of flying in grand style while filling his belly on healthy, chef-prepared meals. It's all part of a new spending approach by the Marlins -- long scorned as tightwads -- that is designed to produce more wins and end a playoff famine that dates to their ...

Drake - Page 17
Is Drake's 'Practice' Video Low Budget Or Genius Concept?
Drake Refuses To Respond To Common Beef
Drake Wants To Play President Obama In A Movie
Word on the street is that Drake wants to get back into acting...as the President? Drizzy wants to play Barack Obama in a film about the President's life. Do you think he would be a good fit, I mean Degrassi was awesome.
Check out what Drake had to say below while in Utah for the Sundance Film Festival.

Imagine If Drake And Common Were Friends [Video]
Drake and Common have not been the best of friends lately.
Common made that very clear in the 'Stay Schemin' remix he dropped last week. The odd thing is that Drake is yet to come back with a response.
It is possible that the two have silently become best friends? We can Imagine.
Kid Does Freestyle Imitating Lil Wayne, Drake, Eminem & Ludacris [Video]
Vers' is a 17 year old rapper. That is all I know. No seriously thought I came across this video on his YouTube channel and I'm not gonna lie I was kind of impressed. He 'Freestyles' while imitating Lil Wayne (which he does well) Drake (he's ok) Eminem (not the best) and Ludacris (another ok)
Check out the video below and let me know what you think of this kid.
Common Disses Drake Again On 'Stay Schemin' Remix [Audio]
Common obviously has a problem with Drake, and he made it very known is his latest diss track.
Before the 'Stay Schemin' remix dropped Common confirmed that he was talking about Drake in an earlier diss track.
There is definitely no reason to confirm on this track, he makes it very clear.

On high ground on the eastern side of the Plaza Mayor, the town walls surround one of the best-preserved medieval quarters in Spain. Packed with treasures, Cáceres's Ciudad Monumental (monumental city or old town, also called the casco antiguo or Cáceres Viejo) is a marvel: small, but without a single modern building to detract from its aura. The old town is virtually deserted in winter, and occasionally dusted with a light coating of snow—quite a sight to behold.

Sony has no idea for make Qwerty Xperia phones? All phones are introduced in terms of appearance and design of hardware and software are the same. This is not pleasant.
We are sorry that you feel this way. We do have some models with a QWERTY keyboard, like the Xperia™ pro, Xperia™ mini pro and the Sony Ericsson txt pro. You can check them out at http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/phone
Thank you for your help. but i want a qwerty keyboard from Sony and with a dualcore CPU look like MOTOROLA DROID and Sony's amazing desinging. My current phone is Xperia X2.
I wish there was a QWERTY NXT series..!!
I must agree with cra4sh.
It's very very sad that Sony is not releasing a qwerty phone in the new series.
I would be all over the new Motorola Milestone if it was available in my country, but unfortunately it is not…
I have been waiting for the Xperia Pro for so long, but when it finally hit the stores it was too late, single core 1Ghz CPU with 512MB RAM is far from highend these days.
Guess I must keep my original HTC Desire (but I do hate that onescreen keyboard) some more time and hope, really hope, that someone someday will make a decent qwerty phone and sell it in my country.
My employer is ready to pay, but I won't have anything but a qwerty phone!
Suggesting Xperia Pro is a joke, it was announced more than a year ago, and even then there were lots of dualcore phones with more RAM.

Disappearing iPhone Calendar events

Q: My iPhone calendar seems to have a problem saving events that I try and enter for dates in the past. When I try to enter an event more than a couple of weeks old, it shows up in my calendar for a few seconds, and then suddenly disappears right before my eyes. I don't have any problem with entering current or future events, but anything I try to enter too far back in the past just vanishes from my calendar entirely. I've tried creating the same event numerous times in several different ways, but it disappears every time. Any ideas?
- Kathryn
A: The likely cause of this problem is that you're synchronizing your iPhone Calendar with iCloud or another online calendar service and your iPhone is set to sync only recent events. This option can be found under Mail, Contacts, Calendars in your iPhone Settings app. The default setting is one month, however you can tap on this option and choose from either two weeks, one month, three months or six months or simply choose All Events to sync everything in your calendar.
New events created in the iPhone Calendar outside of this time frame are still saved and synchronized to your online calendar (e.g. iCloud), but once the online calendar has been updated, they are removed from the local iPhone Calendar; hence these events appear to vanish shortly after you've created them. Items you have created on these older dates will actually have been saved in the cloud and you would likely be able to see them on a desktop computer; iCal for Mac, for example, automatically synchronizes all events from iCloud to your desktop calendar, regardless of the setting on your iPhone. Further, if you're using iCloud you can log onto iCloud.com from any web browser and you should see these events in your Calendar there as well. In fact, if you adjust the sync setting above to a longer time frame—or All Events—all of these "lost" events should automatically be synced back down from the cloud and reappear; you'll likely even see all of the instances of events that you tried to create multiple times.
Ultimately, unless you have a very large calendar going back several years, it's probably best to just set your sync events preference to All Events, which will ensure that your entire calendar is available on your device and avoid any future confusion with vanishing events.

When I got my iTouch several years ago, I imported into it all my Palm calendar entries, some dating back to the early 1990's. It was a chore, but I figured it out, and there have been no problems; I can look back and there they are. But last week I discovered that all the iTouch calendar entries before Aug. 25, 2009, have disappeared! If I look at Yahoo calendar, which is synced to the iTouch, the entries are still there; and entries created in other calendars than iTouch for dates before 2009, are still visible on the iTouch calendar screen; it's only the iTouch entries that have vanished.
Here's more: If I create a new entry for August 29, 2009, say, in the iTouch calendar, it works; it's there and it stays there. But if I create it instead for August 22, 2009, then it appears, but in a minute or so it vanishes—even though I can still see it on the Yahoo calendar.
I know this sounds crazy; but it's making ME crazy. Any ideas?

I found that I need to turn iCloud on for Calendars, but off for Contacts.
Posted by Diane Williams on January 30, 2013 at 7:17 PM (CST)
I stopped syncing my iphone calendar with icloud and started managing multiple calendars on my iphone directly from my PC with Copy-tran Contacts.
I don't know if this is the cure, but is certainly has averted my appointments from being removed due to some sync for one reason or another.

Regarding your statement: "Ultimately, unless you have a very large calendar going back several years, it's probably best to just set your sync events preference to All Events":
This is exactly my problem. I have many entries dating back to 1999, and want to be able to view any event at any time. But if I set the device to "All Events" it means that every time I open its calendar the cloud-device syncing begins and continues for an enormous length of time. If I merely wanted to open the calendar to enter a new event for today, I'd need to wait for this long long time before I could enter because while the syncing is happening I can't enter anything. And if I want to check the calendar a short while later, I'd again, as every time I open the app, have to wait the same long long time. This renders my calendar basically useless for immediate use. So, I am forced to keep it set to sync just "6 months" for smooth efficient day to day use, but this means I cannot look up what I did on some date in the more distant past because none of the past info shows up beyond the 6 months. Why can't the app allow the data to remain visible on the device without requiring all of it all the way back to 1999? Let it sync for only 6 months, but allow the older data to remain visible.
Posted by Charlie on March 11, 2013 at 10:41 AM (CDT)
Thank you so much!! Was very distressed when all of my calender events disappeared today! I purchased the iphone 5 a couple of weeks ago and had synched all account from old iphone to new iphone.

my iphone 5 calender had a custom option in the repeats, but it has disappeared a couple weeks ago. An update for facebook was suggested which I let update when I went to apps to look for a gps map app. How do I get the custom option back so I can ask for repeats every 2nd tuesday for example. Thanks so much for the help. This option was so helpful and without it I'm going nuts. Thanks

Young men giving up on marriage: 'Women aren't women anymore'

Take a look at ANY dating site and notice a good 92 percent of the women on them already have kids, some by obvious multiple fathers. These same women are no doubt living with their parents, a bf *sucker who doesn't know she is looking to switch johns*, or they are on the welfare system.
These same broads with their multiple children *no doubt multiple personalities as well* think their shit is so diamond encrusted and beautiful they DEMAND that some Joe-schmo must have a nice new car, an excellent job, six pack abs, ripped, etc, etc.
They are perpetual children that still have glittery wall paper, listen to rap or mainstream music, often mention under favorite books description that "They do not read".
They are used up and dumb yet they feel entitled to demand?
Makes zero sense.
I recommend to any single guy who has a hard on just walk on by when you see some broad with multiple kids and thinks she is some sort of goddess.
Pay attention to the signs, save your soul, dick and heart from stds and destruction.
Always wear protection that YOU bought and never let it out of your site, these psychos will punch holes in your condom just to get another check.

NASCAR: Busch takes Martinsville top spot
MARTINSVILLE, Va. — Last week's race winner and last week's absentee combined to sweep the front row for Joe Gibbs Racing in Friday's knockout qualifying session at Martinsville Speedway.
Kyle Busch ran the fastest lap in the round that counted, edging teammate Denny Hamlin for the top starting spot in Sunday's STP 500 at the venerable .526-mile short track.

Nashville, TN – Effective April 1st, 2013, prescribers will be required to look up their patients in the state's Controlled Substance Monitoring Database before beginning a new treatment with an opioid or benzodiazepine and at least yearly thereafter if treatment continues.
The reporting will ultimately benefit all Tennesseans in helping to decrease the complex collection of problems associated with improper use of prescribed drugs.
In 2011, a total of 1,062 people died from drug overdoses in Tennessee. The database will provide clinicians opportunities to identify patients with potential substance abuse or misuse issues so timely counseling and referral can occur to help prevent future deaths. This identification is critical when patients are women of childbearing age.
"Clinician-patient conversations are especially important among women of childbearing age," said TDH Chief Medical Officer David Reagan, MD, PhD. "We unfortunately have a national epidemic of babies being born dependent on legal or illegal drugs their mothers ingested during pregnancy. At birth, the baby is cut off from the drug and goes through a painful process of withdrawal. The condition is known as neonatal abstinence syndrome or NAS, and it is painful for the baby and costly to society. In addition to the suffering of the infant, typical first year of life health costs for a baby with neonatal abstinence syndrome are nearly six times higher than for a normal baby."
In 2011, Tennessee recorded 629 NAS births. Prescribers and dispensers of narcotics who have questions about the Controlled Substance Monitoring Database should call 615.253.1305 or visit http://health.state.tn.us/boards/Controlledsubstance/index.shtml.
The mission of the Tennessee Department of Health is to protect, promote and improve the health and prosperity of people in Tennessee. For more information about TDH services and programs, visit http://health.state.tn.us/.

This may be the wrong forum, I apologize in advance.
I turned off my iPod touch (fully) and when I turn it back on, all of my Home Screens were changed, plus some applications I had before were missing. I haven't synced to iTunes in a month (and found out there was the 3.1.2 update). Is there a way to get these apps back? They're not on iTunes because I didn't sync. I had eleven full pages, and now I only have 8 full pages. All my playlists were gone, and some of my photos were missing. iPad mini 1st gen - iOS 8.1.3 iPhone 6 64GB - iOS 8.1.3 Mac mini Server M10 - OS X 10.10.1 MacBook Uni L09 - OS X 10.10.2 |

FXCM Reports Monthly Metrics
FXCM Inc. (NYSE: FXCM) today announced certain key operating metrics for December 2012 for its retail and institutional foreign exchange business.
December 2012 Retail Trading Metrics
- Retail customer trading volume (1) of $257 billion in December 2012, 16% lower than November 2012 and 11% lower than December 2011. Volume from indirect sources was 47% of total retail volume (1) in the fourth quarter 2012. Retail customer trading volume (1) for the fourth quarter 2012 was $886 billion, 3% higher than the third quarter 2012, and 9% lower than the fourth quarter 2011. Retail customer trading volume (1) for full year 2012 was $3.6 trillion, 5% lower than 2011.
- Average retail customer trading volume (1) per day of $13.5 billion in December 2012, 3% lower than November 2012 and 3% higher than December 2011.
- An average of 409,875 retail client trades per day in December 2012, 16% higher than November 2012 and 15% higher than December 2011.
- Tradeable accounts (2) of 190,217 as of December 31, 2012, a decrease of 13,278, or 7% from November 30, 2012, and an decrease of 4,389, or 2%, from December 31, 2011. In December, FXCM charged an account dormancy fee on certain accounts that had been inactive over one year, resulting in the decline in tradeable accounts when compared to November 2012. Active accounts, accounts which have placed a trade in the past 12 months, increased by 418 accounts to 170,930 in December 2012 from November 2012.
December 2012 Institutional Trading Metrics
- Institutional customer trading volume (1) of $80 billion in December 2012, 11% lower than November 2012 and 23% lower than December 2011.
- Average institutional trading volume (1) per day of $4.2billion in December 2012, 3% higher than November 2012 and 11% lower than December 2011.
- An average of 11,313 institutional client trades per day in December 2012, 15% higher than November 2012 and 35% lower than December 2011.
"We are pleased with how we have weathered muted foreign exchange markets in 2012 with our overall retail volumes decreasing only 5% to $3.6 trillion despite a 23% decline in average daily volatility to multi-year lows, as measured by the CVIX (3)," said Drew Niv, President and Chief Executive Officer. "In particular, in 2012 we were very successful in attracting larger customer accounts and while its positive effect on our trading volumes was offset by the unfavorable market environment, it positions us well for the future."
"While still early, 2013 has started strong and we look forward to our growth initiatives gaining traction this year, even if market conditions do not improve" he continued.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Nielsen data supports what most already know: apps are in. In fact, their research indicates that, in the U.S., Android and iPhone users 18 and older spend 65 percent more time on apps today than they did just two years ago. How much time? On average, it adds up to 30 hours and 15 minutes a month. That fact hasn't missed the attention of CMOs around the country.
Molly W. Joss
Jun 09, 2004
People work on the road, in airports, at home, and at the office. No matter where or when they're working, they want the same access to content that they would have if they were sitting in their office. In these days of random hacking and other senseless acts of computer violence, how do you give the people what they need to do their jobs wherever they may be while avoiding long delays or sacrificing computer security?
Certainly, part of the answer to the question of access has to include the Web—if for no better reasons than its ubiquity and familiarity. At best, though, it's only part of the answer because it's not enough to build an interface from computer systems that opens them up to the Web; there are too many security risks involved and too much time can be lost while custom software solutions are developed.
Still, the Web provided enough of a start and stimulus so that about five years ago, technologists could begin crafting the other parts of the answer: Web services. Today, they are still hard at work making the vision of Web services a reality, and some progress has been made. More needs to be done, but now is the time for companies to begin developing strategies for making the most of what Web services offer now and will offer in the future.
"Web services" is an umbrella term for services that take place over the Web, use Internet protocols, and may or may not involve the use of a Web browser. Toufic Boubez, CTO of Layer 7 Technologies, a Web services firm headquartered in San Mateo, CA, says that the term is a bit of a misnomer and not nearly powerful enough to convey the strength of the broad array of services under development.
Boubez ought to know—he has spent much of his career envisioning and creating Web services. Before helping to found Layer 7, he was at IBM for years and was part of the IBM Consulting Group and co-author of one of the Web services standards. "The original concept started in 1998 when we were working with XML," he recalls. With people just starting to embrace the Web, it was evident to the team that the Web had untapped resources for business. "We asked ourselves: How can you make this technology easier for businesses to use?"
The first step in the process was to make it easier for companies to build applications that used the Web to some degree. Web services toolkits started to be available at the end of 1999, and companies have worked steadily since then to create Web services software solutions. Dozens of companies now offer Web services modules or offer their expertise to companies that wish to incorporate Web services into how they do business.
It is possible, of course, for companies to develop Web services in-house by writing custom code suited to their needs. The problem with the do-it-yourself approach is that companies don't operate in a vacuum. Today, companies strive to add value and develop ways to stay competitive—and they are also searching for ways to do this before everyone else does. It's important to be in the game early, and waiting until the code is developed in-house takes too much time. "For organizations that are trying to be more nimble, the idea of starting from scratch to get new capabilities going doesn't work any more," explains Judith Hurwitz, principal of Hurwitz and Associates, an IT industry analyst firm based in Cambridge, MA.
This need for speed was something that Web services technologists understood from the beginning, even if it wasn't clear how to accomplish this goal. Over the last several years, though, technologists have realized they need to use a modular approach. The services have to be broken down into components that hook together and can be rearranged as needed. The plug-and-play concept that Windows PC users have come to expect must be embraced by Web services developers.
This is not an easy way for your average Web developer to think. "The reason we are not further along in the development of Web services is that it has taken some time for people to get the idea that they could make something new [as in modular software], rather than reinventing what they already had [reworking old code]," says Boubez.

The Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) of Southeast Wisconsin has awarded a $25,000 "Innovations in Healthcare Delivery Pilot Model Grant" to develop a novel clinical care pathway for patients with vestibular disorders. The vestibular system is a complex network involving the inner ears, eyes, brain, muscles and peripheral nervous system.
David Friedland, MD, PhD, professor and vice-chair of otolaryngology at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) and chief of the division of otology, neuro-otology and skull base surgery, is the principal investigator on the grant.
Complaints of dizziness and imbalance can be associated with many vestibular and non-vestibular disorders including inner ear problems, vision changes, cardiac or neurologic disease, and psychological and social conditions. Because of this complex disease process, patients often require long appointments and extensive testing.
Dr. Friedland and his clinical and research team have developed a comprehensive vestibular disorders questionnaire for new patients. With this grant, information from the questionnaire will be correlated with patient outcomes using statistical modeling to more efficiently and accurately triage patients, and improve overall quality of healthcare delivery.
The main outcome of this quality improvement study will be to develop an innovative evidence-based vestibular disorders care pathway that provides high patient value with efficient, appropriate, and expeditious clinical evaluation.
The "Innovations in Healthcare Delivery" grants are supported by the Medical College Physicians, MCW's physician practice group caring for adult patients, and the CTSI. The fundamental goal is to stimulate innovative pilot projects that promise to measurably and meaningfully improve delivery of healthcare in terms of clinical quality, patient experience, value and efficiency.
CTSI is part of a national consortium of top medical research institutions. Working together, the CTSI institutions are committed to improve human health by streamlining science, transforming training environments and improving the conduct, quality and dissemination of clinical and translational research. The CTSI program is led by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, part of the National Institutes of Health.

ABC report from 2000 on Clinton wealth
NewsBusters is reporting that Hillary Clinton tried to claim that she and Bill were "dead broke" when they left the White House in 2001. But news clips from that era show that the Clintons were raking it in with six-figure speaking deals, and that Hillary got an $8 million advance for writing a book. This as Hillary is in the midst of a media blitz promoting her new book, "Hard Choices."
Not even Diane Sawyer could refrain from gently pushing back at former Secretary of State and prospective presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's claim that she and her husband were "dead broke" when they left the White House in January 2001. Talking about the huge fees both Clintons now rake in for speaking engagements, Sawyer wondered: "Do you think Americans are going to understand five times the median income in this country for one speech?"
But Sawyer could easily have gone to ABC's own videotape library to show how preposterous Mrs. Clinton's claim of poverty was. Back on December 15, 2000 — more than a month before the Clintons left the White House — ABC's World News Tonight suggested the massive book advance for Hillary Clinton's post-White House memoir was astonishing and perhaps corrupt for an incoming United States Senator.
