Even though Jimi Manuwa had the home field advantage, he still wasn't able to deliver. He was 14-0 going into this fight with 13 of his wins coming from knockout. Unfortunately for The Poster Boy, he now has a loss on his record. UFC fight night London was ecstatic! Alexander Gustafsson came into the fight ranked as the #1 contender for the Light Heavyweight division. As we now know, for a good reason. After his controversial loss to Jon Jones, people were curious to see what was going to happen in this fight against a knockout artist with superior power and carrying an undefeated record. For anyone who was skeptical, they aren't anymore. Alexander Gustafsson did not only defeat Jimi Manuwa, but demolished him while doing so.
It was early in the second round when Alexander got Jimi in a muay thai clinch. Utilizing his height and long limbs, he delivered a devastating knee to the chin of Manuwa. It didn't knock him out, but stunned him significantly and eventually ended up leading to a swarm of punches by Gustafsson. One of the uppercuts soon landed to Manuwa's chin. He wasn't completely out, but his knees buckled and his body wobbled and hit the canvas. Two hammer fists later, Marc Goddard called a stop to the fight because Manuwa was out cold. Alexander Gustafsson is now definitely in line for another title shot. After the fight, Gustafsson called out Jon Jones and told him that he's ready whenever he was.
Why Gustafsson defeated Manuwa at UFC Fight Night 37
Gustafsson's last fight against Jones was a real eyeopener for The Mauler. He finally realized what he's capable of and ultimately went into this fight fearless and extremely composed. Knowing he was able to put on the performance that he did with Jones allowed Gustafsson to enter this fight a lot more relaxed and at ease. He wasn't overly confident, but had just the right state of mind to accomplish his goal. That was to KO Jimi Manuwa just the way he did. Gustafsson has extremely long legs. When he's able to get someone in a muay thai clinch, if his opponent isn't defending properly, they're going to end up with a knee in their chin. Alexander is technical and intelligent. He knows how to maximize the advantages he has with this height and lean body. He's fundamentally sound and has excellent focus.
Alex stuck to his game plan and defeated Jimi Manuwa early in the fight. To defeat Jimi Manuwa in the fashion that he did, definitely sends a message to the world. He's in the UFC to bang. He's not afraid to throw down with anyone. Whether they're the UFC champion, or have an undefeated record with more than 90% of their wins coming from KO's. He's fearless, intelligent, savvy, composed, technical, and an extremely well rounded fighter. To beat Gustafsson, you're going to have to be a special breed.
Could Manuwa have fought differently?
Absolutely! I think Jimi went into this fight with a horrible strategy. He has a huge stature to himself. Assuming that his cardio is in tip top shape, he should have wrestled Gustafsson. Maybe that was his game plan but became discouraged when Gustafsson took him down in the first round and held him there for a while. I don't know. I do know that if Jimi were to somehow mount Gustafsson, rain down some elbows and open up Gustafsson, the fight could have ended completely differently. These are the what if situations we're discussing though. The fight is over and done with. Jimi showed he's tough and willing to bang with a top contender, but just wasn't the better fight tonight in London.
Alexander Gustafsson Vs. Jon Jones 2
I'm sure a lot of people are expecting this matchup now. That's if Jon Jones defends his belt in a month at UFC 172. The first fight between them could have gone either way. Personally, I believe Alexander won the fight by unanimous decision. However, as Dana White always says "never leave the fight in the judges hands." Which is very true. Look at the GSP Vs. Johnny Hendricks fight for an example.
If they were to clash again, I think it would be an even more epic battle than the first time they fought. They're both technical fighters that have their priorities right in life. They're both fundamentally sound and know how to utilize the God given talents that they have. Jon Jones has an extremely long reach, but nobody is unbeatable. With this devastating knockout Gustafsson just executed, it will be interesting to see if Dana puts Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson in a rematch immediately following UFC 172. If Jones wins, that is. If it did go down, I'm sure it would be one of the best fights for the 2014 year. Alexander Gustafsson has definitely showed why he's the number one contender and that he's an extremely dangerous mixed martial artist.
UFC London Conclusion:
Whether or not the fight could have ended different we'll never know. Jimi Manuwa was crushed by The Mauler. Along with Jimi's first loss on his record, you can add a KO next to that result. A knockout that was brutal and well executed. Alexander has earned respect from a lot of people with this victory and is more than likely going to have a title shot immediately following UFC 172's main event.
Alexander is young and still has his whole MMA career ahead of him. It'll be interesting to see how successful he becomes and whether or not he'll ever become the UFC champion. Jimi Manuwa will need to get back on the grind and step up his game. He needs to become more well rounded and not just rely on his punching power and strength. There is more to mixed martial arts than throwing heavy hands. There's great potential for him to grow and learn from this fight.
Despite Manuwa's devastating knockout in the second round, he's still one of the best fighters in his weight division. Every fight is a learning experience. You can train hard in the gym, but it's nothing like actually being inside that cage with only yourself and one other man that wants to kill you. We're all human and make mistakes.
We're to accept these mistakes, learn from them, and not make them again. The main event tonight at UFC Fight Night 37 in London was epic! It was a well fought main event and I wish I could of attended. Congratulations to Alexander Gustafsson for his vicious knockout and I look forward to seeing both of these fighters fight again as soon as possible!

Modeling spatially distributed phenomena in terms of its controlling factors is a recurring problem in geoscience. Most efforts concentrate on predicting the value of response variable in terms of controlling variables either through a physical model or a regression model. However, many geospatial systems comprises complex, nonlinear, and spatially non-uniform relationships, making it difficult to even formulate a viable model. This paper focuses on spatial partitioning of controlling variables that are attributed to a particular range of a response variable. Thus, the presented method surveys spatially distributed relationships between predictors and response. The method is based on association analysis technique of identifying emerging patterns, which are extended in order to be applied more effectively to geospatial data sets. The outcome of the method is a list of spatial footprints, each characterized by a unique "controlling pattern"—a list of specific values of predictors that locally correlate with a specified value of response variable. Mapping the controlling footprints reveals geographic regionalization of relationship between predictors and response. The data mining underpinnings of the method are given and its application to a real world problem is demonstrated using an expository example focusing on determining variety of environmental associations of high vegetation density across the continental United States.

Step 1: Cut out 20 flowers in large petal size. Place two flowers together with their right sides together. Sew around the curved edges of the petal leaves the flat bottom edge open. Turn right side out. Spray lightly with spray starch and press on low setting. Repeat with all petal pieces.
Step 2: With a needed and thread, sew across the flat edges of all the large flowers with continuous stitching. When all ten flowers are on the thread, pull the thread so the flowers gather together in the center.
Step 3: Add some additional stitches in the center of the flowers to reinforce. Repeat the same steps for the medium and then the small petals.
Step 4: Place the medium flower section on top of the large flowers and stitch together at the center. Then place the small flower section and sew all layers together in the center. Finish flower off with a special button or make one using the I-top.
Step 5: Cut a two 1 inch by 11 inch lengths from felt. Cut small snips not cutting all the way down on the felt. Begin to roll the flower until all has been rolled. Use a small straight pin to hold. Thread a needle with a matching thread color and sew through the center base of the felt to secure all the layers together. Remove the pin. 'Fluff' the flower to open it and give it a bit of dimension. Hot glue or sew on beads, buttons or your choice of embellishment.
Step 6: Cut out some felt leaves. Add some hand stitched details using DMC floss.
Step 7: Now to adhere the flowers to the pillow fabric. Add GlueArts Fabric Bond adhesive to flower and leaves. Lightly press onto fabric ensuring a good bond. Repeat for all leaves.
Step 8: Hot glue onto the felt flowers onto the pillow fabric.
Step 9: Now to embellish the pillow... hand sew leaves and details using DMC floss. To add a bit of whimsy and color, use Maya Road Maya Mists and lightly mist the pillow for a soft added color. Allow time for mist to dry.
Step 10: Finish off ends of pillow with beautiful hand-dyed seam binding.
A few tips: I recycled a bolster pillow that was not being used. I simply wrapped the base fabric around the bolster, marked the seam line, removed the bolster, turned the fabric inside out and sewed a seam. I did the same for the ends to keep it very simple.

Updated Wednesday August 20th 2014, after S01E04 of The Real Housewives of Melbourne aired at 12pm on Sunday August 17th 2014. Bookmark this page for our regular updates
Sunday saw the third time this month that Bravo Media have aired an episode of The Real Housewives of Melbourne at 12pm and if this week's ratings are any guide then it would appear that the US fans love affair with the Wives from Down Under is over. Despite airing out of prime time, in its first two weeks The Real Housewives of Melbourne had managed to avoid being Bravo Media's lowest rated show of the week with both Game of Crowns and The Singles Project attracting fewer viewers in the P8-49 demo. This Sunday however, Game of Crowns managed to exceed RHoMelbourne's P18-49 viewer total.
The Noon airing of the fourth episode saw just 334,000 viewers tune in this week dropping over 20% of last week's 418,000 audience. The more important P18-49 demographic fell by a larger percentage – down -23.57% on the week but with 201,000 just managed to stay above 200k. While generally these numbers are low when compared to prime time, for this time slot they beating the same four hours on Sundays in July 2014 RHoMelbourne having brought in 17.37% more P2+ viewers and 19.19% more P18-49 viewers than that midday Sunday slot earned in July.
The complete Episodic Ratings with comparisons for similar time slots can be seen on Page 2
Full Season Summary
Imaginary telephone conversation between two Real Housewives of Melbourne cast members. Wife 1: "Did you hear Bravo TV are going to air us on Sundays, which is their BEST night of their television week???" Wife 2: "Yes, but they're tossing us out at Noon and not in prime time. Why?????"
Aired in Australia on Arena TV, which is owned by Foxtel, Arena is more or less a Bravo TV clone (both down to the television shows it airs as well as its graphics and its catchphrase "What Watch Happens"). The Real Housewives of Melbourne is the first of the four international Real Housewives version to get an airtime on Bravo TV in the USA. The international versions to date created under licence from Bravo Media are: The Real Housewives of Athens (2011), The Real Housewives of Vancouver (2012), France's Les Vraies Housewives (2013) and, in 2014, The Real Housewives of Melbourne.
But what a time slot they've been given as Noon Sunday's is not exactly prime time however it's also not a time when no one is watching Bravo TV either. Taking a sample of the four July Sundays and looking at what aired between Noon & 2pm on those Sundays, each of those 8 hours of television averaged just over 300,000 viewers in total with 178,000 of them aged between 18 & 49 years.
The above ratings numbers therefore are the benchmark against which the ratings for #RHoMelbourne can can be judged, but still it's perplexing that Bravo Media would chose to air it at midday on Sundays and not in any of their open 8pm midweek timeslots, and I can only imagine they felt it would be a drain on the all important prime time audience average.
"The Real Housewives of Melbourne" is produced by Matchbox Pictures, part of NBCUniversal International Television Production and distributed in the US by NBCUniversal Television & New Media Distribution. Foxtel recently announced it has commissioned a second season of the reality hit for Arena in Australia.
Network Description
The Real Housewives of Melbourne, a 12-episode series follows the lavish lives of six successful Melbourne socialites – Gina Liano, Andrea Moss, Chyka Keebaugh, Janet Roach, Lydia Schiavello and Jackie Gillies – as they live life on their own terms and enjoy the pampered and cultured lifestyle that the "world's most liveable city" has to offer. The season concludes with a two-part reunion special hosted by famed Australian fashion designer, Alex Perry.

NEW YORK (Sept. 14, 2011) SHOWTIME® will televise yet another important super middleweight world championship bout when former world titlist Mikkel Kessler of Denmark returns to the ring to challenge World Boxing Organization (WBO) kingpin Robert Stieglitz of Germany on Saturday, Nov. 5, from renowned PARKEN Stadium in Copenhagen, Denmark. The WBO championship fight will be shown on same-day delay and precede the International Boxing Federation (IBF) super middleweight title fight between unbeaten defending champion Lucian Bute and Glen Johnson live on SHOWTIME from Pepsi Coliseum in Quebec City, Canada (9 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast). The Nov. 5 doubleheader will take place just seven days after world champions Andre Ward (World Boxing Association) and Carl Froch (World Boxing Council) collide in The Final of the Super Six World Boxing Classic on Saturday, Oct. 29 live on SHOWTIME (10 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast), from Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. The addition of Stieglitz vs. Kessler to the Nov. 5 telecast completes a lineup that puts all four super middleweight world titles up for grabs, along with The RING magazine belt and the inaugural Super Six World Boxing Classic Cup, in back-to-back Saturdays on SHOWTIME. Stieglitz (40-2, 23 KOs) is at the peak of his game. The 5-foot-11, Russian-born boxer-puncher has won nine consecutive fights and 11 of his last 12. Hell be making the fifth defense of the WBO belt he won in Hungary on an upset, come-from-behind 11th-round TKO over Karoly Balzsay in August 2009. I have a lot of respect for Kessler but he will not take my crown away from me, said Stieglitz. It may be that he is a national hero in Denmark, such as Karoly Balzsay was in Hungary, but I travelled there, defeated him and became world champion. The home advantage did not help Balzsay at all and it will not help Mikkel Kessler either. I will defend my title." In his most recent outing and lone start this year on April 9, the 30-year-old Stieglitz retained his crown when challenger Khoren Gevor was disqualified at 2:45 of the 10th-round for an intentional headbutt in Germany. In April of 2010, Stieglitz unanimous decision over Eduard Gutknecht was dubbed Fight of the Year in Germany. A true sportsman in and out of the ring who idolizes the Klitschko brothers, Stieglitz is a confident and technically sound boxer with good conditioning and strength. Hes improved most areas of his game in recent years and competes with the poise of a world champion. As Stieglitz hasnt fought the caliber of opponents as his challenger, he views the fight against Kessler as a chance to boost his profile in the talent-laden 168-pound division. Kessler (44-2, 33 KOs) is a former WBA titleholder and WBC titleholder. The 32-year-old is coming off a thoroughly dominant sixth-round TKO over outclassed Mehdi Bouadla last June 4 for the vacant WBO European crown on SHOWTIME. Making his first start in 14 months, Kessler scored four knockdowns one in the third and fourth and two in the sixth before the one-sided proceedings were halted at 2:25. The victory was especially satisfying to the popular, 6-foot-1 Kessler because he escaped virtually unmarked in his first bout since a potentially career-ending eye injury had forced him to withdraw from the Super Six and vacate his WBC title. Prior to leaving the tournament, Kessler was riding high after capturing the WBC crown with an exciting 12-round, unanimous decision slugfest over the then-undefeated Froch on April 24, 2010. I look forward to be fighting on SHOWTIME again, said Kessler. I want to show the fans in the U.S. that I am the world´s best super-middleweight. After my successful comeback in June, the next step is to become world champion for a fourth time. The fight against Robert Stieglitz will be exciting. He is technically very strong and he deserves to be holding that belt, but I think that I am better and that I will take the title away from him. It will be a great night of boxing with my passionate Danish fans raising the roof at world-famous PARKEN Stadium. Kessler, whos ranked No. 1 in the WBO, attained the WBA belt in June 2008 and made two successful defenses before losing to Ward on an 11th-round technical decision in Group Stage 1 of the Super Six on Nov. 21, 2009, on SHOWTIME. The Danes only other defeat came on a 12-round decision to future Hall-of-Famer Joe Calzaghe on Nov. 3, 2007. The world title fight in Denmark is promoted by Sauerland Event and SES Boxing; the world title fight in Canada by Interbox, DiBella Entertainment and Warriors Boxing.

Rocky Fielding vs. Paul Morby on Saturday Rocky Fielding is looking to put on a showpiece performance when he steps into the ring at the Liverpool Olympia this Saturday against Portsmouth's Paul Morby. Fielding's birth name is Michael and the obvious link with him being called Rocky, like the iconic Sylvester Stallone character in the hit film, isn't actually the case. "It's nothing to do with the films actually," he explains. "When I was born I was 10lbs, so I was like a little rock, "My dad called me The Rock and as the years have gone on Ive played football before I started boxing and all my mates would call me Rocky ever since. It's a good name to have as a boxer, but my style is a bit different to 'The Rocky'." Fielding has fond memories of the Olympia, it was the venue where he beat three men in the one night Prizefighter tournament to win the trophy. It was also the venue of his second professional fight, where he beat Lee Duncan in November last year and the Liverpool boxer has promised another victory there. "The Olympia is a bit of a good luck omen for me," Fielding said. "As well as winning Prizefighter I had my second pro fight there as well, "I'm proud to fight at that venue, it's only five minutes from where I live, so I always get great great support and the whole city gets behind me, "Hopefully there will be a bit of deja vu to what happened at the Prizefighter, but instead of three knockouts there will only be one." 'Rocky from Stocky' has only had a few weeks' notice for Morby, but feels his participation with Prizefighter has helped him prepare for this fight at short notice. "Taking part in Prizefighter has been a good help with this fight," the 24-year-old continued. "You have three fights in one night and you are fighting different opponents with different styles, "I'm ready to fight anyone, a southpaw or orthodox but I'm ready to fight, "I originally hadn't been training for a southpaw, however in the last two weeks, we have brought in a number of southpaw boxers, after it was announced I will be fighting Paul. Everything has been spot on with sparring." Fielding is well aware of what his opponent on Saturday is capable of and has watched Morby in action. "I watched him box (Beijing Olympian) Tony Jeffries about two weeks ago," he said. "I've got it recorded on Sky, so after training I sit down for a couple of hours and just go over things from that fight. "He's a good southpaw, he knows the game, against Jeffries, Paul made him look ordinary, but I'm not going to let him make me look ordinary. "I'm going to put a show on in my hometown and show him the difference, but he is a tough lad, and his last three fights have been 10 rounds so he knows what he's doing but he hasn't been in there with anyone like me yet." Fielding features on the undercard of Stephen Smith's British and Commonwealth Featherweight title defence against Lee Selby, live on Sky Sports 1HD. EDDY HUSSEIN SET TO FOLLOW CHAMPION FATHER INTO THE RING New Frank Warren signing Ediz (Eddy) Hussein is itching to follow in the footsteps of his farther when he makes his professional debut at London's world famous York Hall on Friday 30th September. Hussein features on the undercard of the exciting Commonwealth Super-Featherweight clash between champion Liam Walsh and challenger Paul Appleby. The show is the first to be promoted by Frank Warren's sons Francis and George for Queensberry Promotions. Eddy's father, Mo, a former Commonwealth Lightweight Champion, was also promoted by Warren in the 1980s and fought fifteen times at the home of London boxing. The West Ham fighter doesn't want to look to far ahead, but would love to emulate his father's achievements in the ring. "I would love to achieve what my dad has achieved," he continued. "If I'm even half the fighter he was I'll be happy. "My dad has been a great help and has passed on lots of his knowledge, it's great to have him in my corner." Many great boxers have come from the East End, and with the area rich in boxing history, Hussein is looking forward to joining current WBO Inter-Continental lightweight champion Kevin Mitchell and unbeaten prospect Billy Morgan. "Kevin Mitchell only lives around the corner from me, because I'm from Dagenham," Hussein continued. "Every now and again I go running with Kevin, it's a massive advantage being able to talk to Kevin and get advice from him ahead of my debut." The York Hall is an iconic boxing venue in the heart of the East End and Hussein is looking forward making his boxing bow there. "I have boxed at the York Hall before as an amateur so I know it," he said. "I'm hoping there is going to be a great turnout, and it is always a great atmosphere at the York Hall. "It's a venue my dad boxed at a number of times, I'm just looking forward to it. I'm raring to go and can't wait to perform in front of the local people." "Training has been going really well, and we've been doing a lot of sparring. I have a rough idea of who I will be up against," he added. "I'm prepared for any sort of fighter, I've been sparring with all types of people with different styles and I'm ready for anyone really." Remaining tickets priced at £40 and £60 are available from Box Office 01992 550 888.

Consumer confidence is up when it comes to fashion spending, according to a new study by consumer intelligence solutions company Market Force Information. Retailers should be encouraged that every consumer participating in the study — more than 7,000 — reported buying something from at a fashion retailer over the last 90 days, and one in four said they spend between $100 and $500 per month on clothes and accessories.
They are planning to keep their wallets at the ready for the holiday shopping season as well. Seventy-four percent said they plan to shop on Black Friday and more than 60 percent plan to shop online on Cyber Monday. This is a marked change from responses to a similar study conducted last December when more than three-quarters said they would be "extremely frugal" going into 2010.
The findings emerged from a Retail Trends survey conducted by Market Force last month among its network of 300,000 independent mystery shoppers and merchandisers – consumers across the country dubbed "The Force" by Market Force Information.
Shopping habits – frequency, categories and personas
All of the survey participants indicated they made a clothing or accessory purchase over the past three months. Within that timeframe, more than half (53 percent) said they shopped for clothing three or more times, with one-quarter of them opening their wallets to fashion retailers six or more times. The remainder (47 percent) shopped for clothing one or two times.
Consumers shopped for clothing in every single category over the past three months, but casual clothing was the most frequently purchased, with more than eight in 10 consumers making purchases in that category. Business-wear came in second at 43 percent, then Sports/Athletic (42 percent) and clothing for Children 10 and Younger (37 percent). Purchases for Children Older than 11 came in last at 21 percent. Shopping for children's clothing takes up a larger percentage of parental budgets than these figures suggest, as only one in two of all respondents reported having children living at home.
The study also asked consumers how they would categorize themselves and the way in which they view fashion. Given three options — 'Fashionista', 'Fashion Pragmatist' and 'Fashion Minimalist' — more than half consider themselves to be either Fashionistas (those who love fashion and view their extensive wardrobe as an investment) or Fashion Pragmatists (those who are comfortable with their wardrobes, have a good selection but don't buy clothing and accessories very frequently). Almost half (45 percent) consider themselves Fashion Minimalists (they don't follow the latest fashion trends and often wear the same clothing or styles for most occasions).
While Fashionistas represent the smallest percentage of consumers (16 percent), they're typically the most influential. They buy the most, so retailers need to appeal to them, and others look to these fashion leaders for hints on what to buy.
Holiday shopping plans
The good news for all retailers is that three out of four people surveyed plan to shop on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving that marks the official beginning of the holiday shopping season. When asked why they plan to shop on that particular day, the majority (78 percent) said they are looking for bargains to kick off their holiday shopping. Another 19 percent said they either wanted to get a jump on holiday shopping or just have fun shopping with everyone else.
Cyber Monday – the Monday after Thanksgiving when many consumers make online holiday gift purchases – will be a popular shopping day as well this year, with 61 percent saying they will shop online that day.
New fashion retail brand trials
Fourteen percent of consumers surveyed visited a new retail brand in the last 90 days – a healthy percentage given that the average consumer shops for clothes about once a month. When asked what motivated them to walk into that new retailer, 35 percent said they drove by the store and decided to try it, and 30 percent visited because a friend had recommended it to them.
However, new fashion retail brand trials did not always end with a satisfied consumer. Only 60 percent of consumers were "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with their experiences at new stores visited. Many (40 percent) were neutral or negative, which contributed to the fact that only 59 percent of those first-time brand shoppers actually bought anything at the new stores. When asked which new fashion retail brands they tried in the past 90 days, the answers were highly fragmented, with no one retailer standing out in new trials.
Among an alphabetized list of more than 100 of the leading national and regional brands of retailers that sell clothing (every retailer with at least 100 stores or more), Kohl's and Walmart tied for the most votes, with 43 percent of consumers indicating they'd shopped there in the past 90 days for clothes. That translates to more than 3,000 consumers out of the 7,000 surveyed. See Graph 4. Target and J.C. Penney came in at 37 percent and 36 percent, respectively. The rest of the retailers on the list are also top performers given the huge amount of choice that consumers have.
Rewards and bargains
Coupons, rewards and promotions work, according to the survey. Over half (56 percent) of consumers said they used those to spur them to buy clothing or accessories in the past 90 days. When asked if they would NOT have purchased the item without the incentive, 74 percent said that was the case. Consumers are still motivated by good deals.
Consumers on customer service
As part of the survival strategy in that economic recovery, many fashion retailers made shifts in their business models. Some retailers began operating with less staff and others put an increased emphasis on customer service. This survey looked at how those changes impacted customer service. Half of consumers think service levels have stayed about the same in fashion retail. A little more than a quarter (27 percent) said service had become worse or significantly worse, and 22 percent said service had become better or significantly better.
When shopping for clothing, most consumers surveyed prefer to browse a bit before being approached by a sales associate. Twenty-six percent said they don't want to be approached; rather, they to initiate a conversation with a sales associate. Just one in 10 want to be greeted the moment they walk in to the store, while the majority (64 percent) said they prefer that the sales associates allow them a few minutes to browse before approaching them to offer assistance.
What influences consumers to shop
Social media can highly influence consumers' choices of where they will shop. Eleven percent of consumers polled have read an online post or blog about a specific retailer or brand of clothing - and nearly one-third indicated those posts highly influenced their shopping choices. The total percentage being affected by social media is relatively small; however, that small percentage typically is the highly engaged set, and therefore influential to others offline.
Twitter isn't a huge factor for fashion consumers yet, with just 2 percent reporting they follow a fashion retailer's tweets. Retailers are highly fragmented across this low 2 percent response rate with even the most frequently mentioned retail brands showing less than 20 followers among survey respondents. Nordstrom, Old Navy, Kohl's, Gap and J.C. Penney lead with the most mentions.
Online research precedes in-store visits
When asked if consumers typically research products/purchases online before going shopping, three-quarters said they did so at least occasionally. More than one in five (21 percent) said they do frequently or always, and 26 percent never conduct online research prior to going shopping. As far as the reasons behind their online research - more than half (55 percent) said they do it to compare prices. Another third said they go online to browse and get ideas, and 12 percent said they're looking for specific items and want to check availability.
The survey was conducted in October across the United States and Canada. The pool of 7,000 respondents reflected a broad spectrum of income levels, with approximately 70 percent reporting household incomes of more than $50,000 a year, and a blend of ages from 19 to 70 years old. Approximately three-quarters of respondents were women, the primary household consumer purchasers, and an equal percentage work full or part time. Half of the respondents have children at home and two thirds are married.

Harper Government Announces Canadians Will Have Greater Access To Natural Health Products
New streamlined approach improves access and safety
MONTRÉAL, Feb. 2, 2013 /CNW/ - Canadians now have access to more than 60,000 licenced natural health products as a result of the Government of Canada's more efficient approach to authorizing these products, Parliamentary Secretary of Health, Dr. Colin Carrie announced today.
"The safety of Canadians is always our number one priority," said Parliamentary Secretary, Dr. Carrie at the Canadian Health Food Association Trade Show in Montreal. "This efficiency allows for industry innovation and growth, while still assuring consumer safety and access to a wide range of authorized natural health products."
In 2010, Health Canada brought in the Unprocessed Product License Applications Regulations (UPLAR) which allowed for the legal sale of lower-risk products while their applications were under review. UPLAR, brought in as a temporary measure, ends February 4, 2013. The Government has now introduced a new approach to natural health products that provides a stable, predictable regulatory environment for the efficient processing of applications.
The efficiencies gained under the new approach have set the foundation for how applications are now processed. Within the new approach, the measures in place to protect consumer safety stay the same. Companies still need to provide sufficient evidence that their products are safe and effective, and products continue to be labelled with necessary warnings. "Many Canadians use natural health products every day and want access to a wide range of safe and effective products," added Parliamentary Secretary, Dr. Carrie. The new approach is in keeping with the authority of the Natural Health Products Regulations, which have been in place since 2004 and continue to set the standard and requirements for authorizing natural health products in Canada.INFORMATION FEBRUARY 2013
What is a natural health product (NHP)? Natural health products refer to a group of health products that include:
- vitamin and mineral supplements
- herbal and other plant-based health products
- traditional medicines, such as traditional Chinese medicine
- homeopathic medicines
- probiotics and enzymes
- some personal care products like toothpastes and sunscreens that contain natural ingredients

A document obtained Wednesday states that three Los Angeles County sheriff's investigators found no visible injuries, video or photographs to confirm the photographer's story that Bieber kicked and punched him. Prosecutors had been asked by police to consider filing a misdemeanor battery charge against the pop star. Bieber was leaving a movie theater in Calabasas with then-girlfriend Selena Gomez when he got into an altercation with a photographer in the parking lot. The photographer claimed Bieber kicked him in the abdomen and punched him. The case was rejected in October and was first reported last week by celebrity website TMZ.

Concierge.com's insider take:
Created as a vocational charity for war orphans, this leather school is located inside the cloisters of Santa Croce church (you can also enter through the church itself). Apart from perusing a wide range of high-quality leather goods (jackets, bags, luggage, accessories, gift items, and a great selection of change purses and wallets), all at very reasonable prices, you can actually watch craftsmen and their apprentices at work. You can also have goods custom-made in calfskin, ostrich, or crocodile in a huge range of colors.

Any idea how to fix?
One solution i've found is unmounting SD card during installation but I want something more permanent.
I've found this online but not sure if it works with the latest version of ICS:
I'm worried if I use this method it will clear my layout and settings that i have now.
Please help thanks!

Editors' Review
+4x4 Jam is an off-road racer that lets you drive wherever you want--an ongoing and changing landscape continues in every direction. This game is from the early days of the iTunes App Store, and while the gameplay is still pretty fun, it's easy to tell the graphics haven't been updated for the latest iOS devices.
Even so, 4x4 Jam still manages to be fun and worthy of a download if you've never tried it. Steer by tilting your iPhone left and right and you have several options for control sets depending on how much control over gas and brakes you want. You can choose between a VW-bug-like off-road racer or a 4x4 truck, with four skin options for each. You can participate in a few different race types with computer-controlled players including an Off Road Race (try to beat your opponents to each gate) and a Jam (collect points by passing through more gates than your opponents). Sadly there is no career mode, so there is little to keep you interested if you don't like the race types offered. But there are three difficulty levels to keep things somewhat interesting.
One of the first things we noticed when we initially played this game was the well-implemented physics. Even now, 4x4 Jam has a better overall feel than a lot of the racing games you'll find today. As you make turns you really notice the centrifugal force and stopping to turn on a dime is pretty much impossible. This only adds to the fun as you and your opponents jockey for position and you even have opportunities to force them away from gates to get an advantage.
Overall, 4x4 Jam is an excellent if somewhat dated game, with fun and challenging racing action. If the developers optimized the game for the Retina Display and added a career mode, it would be even better.

Horses Gallop Into History Press Release
The three most recognized horse races—the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes constitute what is know as the Triple Crown. The last winner of the Triple Crown was "Affirmed" in 1978. The horse has to be a 3-year-old and it has only one shot in a lifetime to participate. This year the gelding, Funny Cide, had two thrilling wins in the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness and was set to become the next Triple Crown winner. Funny Cide brought great excitement to the sport of horse racing for a number of reasons. NBC announcer Tom Hammond summed it up well, "He's sort of everyman's horse… We're sitting on one of the most eagerly anticipated sporting events in months. It's because the horse has sort of established himself as an underdog. He's not royally bred. He is a gelding. He was bred in New York, not in Kentucky. Not owned by a millionaire or an Arab sheik, but by a bunch of working men." (Funny Cide is owned by six former classmates who graduated from Sackets Harbor High School in New York.)
Another significant event for horse lovers and Americans needing a hero came with the release of Seabiscuit, the movie, which premiered on July15, 2003. It is based on the book Seabiscuit: an American Legend by Laura Hillenbrand and is about an "underdog" horse that comes to fame in 1936. This is during the time of the Great Depression when everybody needed a hero. Seabiscuit became a box office hit, and not only lifted viewers beyond the doldrums of summer, but also gave them hope that there are still heroes to be honored and remembered.
Now comes the release of a book about another horse, a very special horse. It is entitled The Legend of the Crown by Steve Allred and is available from www.american-book.com. It is also a book about a person in search of a hero. Cassie Ferguson is a teenager trying to cope with her life. Following her mother's death in a tragic accident, she is forced to live with her estranged father, Richard, at his horse farm in Kentucky. Failing to come to terms with her loss, she grows up nearly void of hope and refuses to trust anyone but herself. After years of failed attempts to bond with his daughter, Richard almost resigns to giving up until the day a miracle occurs. A foal is born from the very thoroughbred responsible for the death of Cassie's mother. Cassie discovers the secret to this unique creature that only she can see—a secret that changes her life forever and helps forge a new bond with her father. The story revolves around the pursuit of the Triple Crown as this special horse seeks to become the long-awaited 12th Crown winner.
From horse races to movies and books, this may very well BE the year of the horse.

I bought this because the price seemed good, the stainless steel would hold up better under our acidic well water and the sleek functionality. The unit is solid stainless steel and workmanship is great - until you get to the hose connecting the spray head. Why a company that makes a solid stainless steel faucet would skimp on the hose is a mystery. It should be a braided SS hose. The nylon one kinks when using the spray handle, thus cutting off the water flow. You have to hold the hose end out with your other hand to prevent it from kinding right where it attaches to the handle. We liked the style and construction, but functionally it's a bit compromised because of the nylon hose.
I purchased this faucet for my newly remodeled kitchen and placed it in a rather prominent place of the peninsula. It is an eye-catcher for whomever enters the room. I could not be happier with it. The feel is that of strength, quality and durability. Its multi-function flow/spray pull-out head makes rinsing a jiffy. Also, the water jet is very powerful, conserving water usage, and you will need to remember not to turn on the faucet all the way, or risk spraying more things that you planned. I love the feature that allows you to leave the temperature settings at a level that you are comfortable with, without having to adjust it every time you turn the faucet on. I did not install the faucet myself, but the plumber did not struggle withl it. It must have been easy installation. The appearance of the unit is very sleek and ergonomic. I truly love it. It adds a quality touch to my newly remodeled kitchen. I definitely recommend this faucet, for its looks, quality, and function. It's a deal. Keep it up, Big O. Thank you
It looks great with my stainless steel appliances and granite counter top. It is very easy to use it. I will highly recommend it. It brings sophistication into my kitchen
Purchased this with Kraus 30in ss sink, beautiful pairing for our kitchen remodel. Easy install on granite countertop, quality weight to facet and great features.
Great faucet! After 3 years still looks new! Receive compliments from family and friends on how classy it looks! Solid, quality item!
Although on the expensive side, I decided to take the chance of ordering this faucet. It is definitely a high quality item and looks amazing. It has yet to be installed (reason for 4 stars), but I do not foresee any issues.
This was the second faucet I bought; the first one I returned because it was so tall. This one is perfect! It is sturdy and made of highest quality materials. I like its simple design and the pull-out spray. I have been using it for a couple of months, and I'm as happy as can be with my choice!
I have had this faucet in my kitchen for 4-1/2 years and am about to purchase a second one for a home we are redoing and will move into. I have been extremely happy with the faucet. It looks and works as good as when I first bought it.
I have a deep sink but this faucet has so much pressure it blasts water all over. We finally got used to it and don't get soaked every time. It was heavy duty so I hope it holds up.
Bought this faucet in 2008, and it has worked like a champ and has looked beautiful. Discovered a leak, however, in the sprayer hose recently (Nov. 2011) and would have given a four-star rating if it had not been for the exceptional service I received from Kraus USA--who told me there is a Lifetime guarantee--and happily agreed to send me a new hose at no cost. So, knowing that nothing lasts forever, you get a great faucet that is backed up by the manufacturer.

Match Preview
Flynn puts emphasis on result Wales caretaker manager Brian Flynn has deflected all personal attention ahead of their crucial Euro 2012 qualifier in Switzerland. Flynn is anxious to make an impression in the second and final match of his spell in temporary charge but he insists competition points are all that matter. Wales' hopes of progressing to the finals from Group G are already in tatters after defeat in Montenegro was followed by another loss in Flynn's first match against Bulgaria last Friday. Yet Flynn remains optimistic as he prepares to face a Swiss side that have endured a similarly disappointing start to their campaign. The former Wrexham and Swansea boss, who could celebrate his 55th birthday in style with a win in Basle, said: "The team is the most important. "What happens next I have no idea, I haven't spoken to anyone. "Switzerland in Basle is the key to this situation. "Every international is a big game, it is football at the highest level. You can't go any higher than this. "It is not about me, it is about Wales and this situation - that is the most important thing. "But, yes, three points would be the perfect birthday present." Flynn, having impressed in his role as under-21 boss, was asked to take over for the senior side's October double-header when John Toshack stepped aside last month. Having worked with many of the squad previously, Flynn sees enormous potential and believes it is only a matter of time before the likes of Gareth Bale - and the currently injured Craig Bellamy and Aaron Ramsey - lead them to a major tournament. He even feels qualification this time is not completely out of the question. "It is always a possibility," he said. "It is a huge task, a massive task, but I have huge belief in this bunch of players. "I believe they will qualify for a major tournament. "I don't know whether it will be this one but they will qualify, there is no doubt about that. "The mood has been upbeat, they have been fairly positive. "There was disappointment around the hotel on Saturday but the next one is the one that matters and here we are now. "We are arriving here very similar to how the Bulgarians arrived in Cardiff after two defeats and we have belief we can win the game." Switzerland are the only team below Wales in the group having lost their opening two games to England and Montenegro. Flynn expects Ottmar Hitzfeld's team to start strongly in a bid to get their campaign back on track. He said: "I would expect Switzerland to come at us and try to make things happen in the first 20 minutes. "That is where we have to be strong and make it difficult for them. "The onus is on them to attack and we have planned for that. "We are going to have to absorb pressure for long periods in the game but we will get chances and we must convert them. We have got to be clinical. "They are difficult to beat but we have got to make it hard for them, deny them space. "I would say they are favourites - they are at home, they have been to the World Cup - but I don't mind that." Flynn's stand-in captain Ashley Williams appears to be winning his fitness fight to feature in the clash at St Jakob Park. The 26-year-old turned his ankle in latter stages of the Bulgaria defeat but was cleared to travel after an X-ray on Saturday. Since then the joint has responded well to treatment and he played a full part in training today. "His ankle has got better every day and I am very confident he will be able to start," said Flynn. That news is a relief as Flynn must reorganise his back line due to suspensions to Chris Gunter and Sam Ricketts. Williams will revert to his natural centre-half position from midfield while Cardiff's Darcy Blake, 21, will make his international debut at right-back. "Darcy will play at right-back," Flynn said. "I've seen a lot of him in that position and I like him there. "He has made huge strides this season and has done really well at Cardiff. "This can only help him with his club football." Flynn has further defensive options having drafted in Rhoys Wiggins of Bournemouth and Preston's Craig Morgan at the weekend.

Match Report
More woe for Wales Valentin Stocker struck twice as Switzerland sent Wales crashing to their third successive Euro 2012 qualifying defeat as they lost 4-1 in Basle. Brian Flynn's side performed creditably for most of a pulsating contest at St Jakob Park but a Gokhan Inler penalty and Stocker's second finished them off in the final eight minutes. Gareth Bale was a constant threat to the Swiss and cancelled out an early Stocker goal after 13 minutes but the hosts soon reclaimed a lead they did not surrender through Marco Streller. It made for a miserable 55th birthday for Flynn who, in his second and final match as caretaker manager, was hoping to prove his suitability for the job full time. He now faces an anxious wait while Wales, whose qualification hopes were already in tatters, must now accept their long wait to reach a major tournament goes on. For much of the game they had threatened to at least get themselves up and running in the campaign after losses to Montenegro and Bulgaria. They attacked at every opportunity and in Bale had a man that worried the Swiss, but defensive mistakes proved their undoing. They had a moment of alarm inside the opening minute but Stocker scuffed a shot and the visitors cleared. They responded with an attack of their own as Bale surged down the left but Andy King stabbed wide. Switzerland suffered a blow after eight minutes as goalkeeper Diego Benaglio, returning after missing Friday's loss to Montenegro through injury, was forced off. Marco Wolfli took his place and had been on the field just a matter of seconds when the Swiss launched an attack that led to their opening goal. Wayne Hennessey did well to beat out a fierce drive from Tranquillo Barnetta but Streller nodded across the six-yard box for Stocker to head home. Welsh heads did not drop and they produced the perfect reply five minutes later as the lively Andrew Crofts won a 50-50 ball and sent Bale racing through on goal. The Tottenham star showed a cool head to lift the ball over the advancing Wolfli for Wales' first goal of the competition. James Collins went close to adding a second when he met a Bale corner with a powerful header but Wolfli saved. Wales were exposed again after 21 minutes as Blake missed a chance to clear and Inler clipped the ball into the box. Streller made no mistake as he flicked the ball past Hennessey with his left foot. Simon Church looked lively for Wales and shot over from the edge of the area after a good run and then saw another attempt forced narrowly wide. Wales' bold approach continued to leave them vulnerable at the back and they were almost caught on the half-hour when captain Ashley Williams missed a header and Streller raced through. The Basle forward, playing in front of his home fans, charged into the area but cut back onto his left foot and Williams recovered to block. Switzerland clearly recognised Bale as the Wales dangerman and both Stephan Lichtsteiner and Barnetta were booked for crude challenges on the left winger. Bale also required treatment for a facial injury before the break but soon rejoined the action. Wales had the first chance of the second half as Darcy Blake crossed for King but the Leicester man headed over. Despite that positive contribution, Blake had endured some difficult moments on his international debut and was caught out as Stocker raced into the box to meet a cross with a bullet header. Hennessey made a brilliant save but Flynn took action moments later as Blake was replaced by Christian Ribeiro. Bristol City defender Ribeiro was soon into the action, heading away another dangerous cross to set up a Bale charge but the break amounted to little as David Vaughan mishit a cross. Wales survived a scare after 62 minutes when Hennessey miskicked a clearance straight to Streller on the edge of the box. A third Swiss goal looked inevitable but Streller's shot bobbled across goal and beyond the far post. Bale launched another quick counter-attack down the left and picked out Church in the box but his first-time shot flew wide. The Swiss hit back with Reto Ziegler forcing Hennessey to save with his feet and Stocker put the rebound over. The match was settled eight minutes from time when referee Alain Hamer harshly penalised James Collins for a trip on Barnetta and pointed to the spot. Inler made no mistake and it got worse for Wales as Stocker turned home an Eren Derdiyok cross with 89 minutes on the clock.
