Tesco's Hudl tablet was at the heart of an investigation which found that using the factory reset option does not get rid of sensitive data.
The BBC worked with security experts to examine the Android operating system's data deleting system, and found that Tesco's budget Hudl had a flaw which could potentially let hackers access data such as photos and messages even if it was thought to be deleted.
The investigations were carried out on second-hand devices bought on eBay. The Hudl was found to be the most vulnerable device because of a known bug that lies in the processor.
Using a free software, the BBC investigator was able to access data in minutes and extract pin codes to unlock devices.
CBR reached out to Tesco for comment, and got a standard reply of: "Customers should always ensure all personal information is removed prior to giving away or selling any mobile device. To guarantee this, customers should use a data wipe program."
Sven Boddington, VP Global Marketing at Teleplan, said: "To say its worrying to find tablet devices are being sold with data still on them is an understatement. This is not the first instance, we're constantly seeing this kind of story in the news. As consumers, we are becoming increasingly reliant on our mobile devices, from basic communications, social media, to mobile banking and payment transactions, and therefore the data they carry is more and more sensitive.
Tesco said that any tablets returned to the store will have all data wiped. The superstore also recommended visiting the getsafeonline.org website to learn about how to keep data safe.

Strikeforce Axes Heavyweight Division Following Grand Prix Finals
Josh Barnett and Daniel Cormier will fight in the Strikeforce Grand Prix finals and the winner will fight one more time against a "top heavyweight contender." After that the plug will be pulled on the Strikeforce heavyweight division.
UFC President Dana White made this comment on the Strikeforce And Showtime Sports conference call earlier today.
"We'll be doing 6-8 events a year and we'll be focusing on key weight-classes and the women's division. We'll focus on the weight divisions that are strong. The heavyweight division isn't deep enough so we'll do away with the Strikeforce heavyweight division. The women's division is very popular and we're gonna keep it."

LOL – Wow! The Strikeforce heavyweights have been outclassed by the ladies. Love it!
fightdontbefake December 15, 2011
That is the right thing to do, sucks for the several guys that were in it, but hopefully they can make a good transition to the UFC.
blzd December 15, 2011
finally some new hw to the ufc tired of the same 5
willienugget December 15, 2011
Melendez is stuck here for another year at least. So Dana, how is Gil going to be excited about Strikeforce?
I'm really diggin' this. WAIT … wasn't it called the WEC before.
P.S. Mir vs Barnett, please!!♠
Manfred December 15, 2011
Will we see Josh in the UFC again ?
wow December 15, 2011
Cool. I want to see Daniel Cormier put Brock Lesnar's career to rest.
number1hansyboy December 15, 2011
BULL SHIT Dana just wants all the great strike force heavy weights to fight in the ufc. it pisses me off that he doesn't just say it. its disrespectful to the fighters
Tendojitsu December 15, 2011
Hmmm…on the surface it may seem like a bum thing to do on Dana's behalf, but after thinking about it, it starts to make sense. The Strikeforce HW division really only has like 10 fighters, so it was inevitable that it would fold. However, I am super-glad that he's decided to keep the Women's divisions.
better than doing away with the whole promotion like the UFC has become notorious for…this is a Christmas gift
hann solo December 15, 2011
Why cant they just leave strike force alone? i mean they're just going to scrap the promotion once they can, so why bother F'ing with it?
Add womens MMA to the UFC
hann solo December 15, 2011
but i suppose they just wanted their heavyweights and this was the easiest way to do it
Melendez's dream was to make it to the UFC after this weekends fight. It's his last contracted fight with SF and now their telling him "sorry, but without you strikeforce is balls up". I don't know about any of you, but being the last rat on a sinking organization would scare the hell out of me. The man is now stuck looking through the glass from the kiddie pool and no hope in the deep end where he belongs. Sad day for many of lightweights that thought it was there turn to get called up.
jeff_figmb December 15, 2011
Well said StarCityInk! love the kiddy pool analogy haha
ness2k December 15, 2011
The end is near for the Strikeforce.
Tempted December 16, 2011
People are really trying to say that "Dana just wants all the great strike force heavy weights to fight in the ufc"? Please let me know who the great ones are? And you are complete idiots if you think Dana made this happen. Strike Force was hemorrhaging money before Zuffa bought it and cut the crap. It would have COMPLETELY DIED had they not bought it. Just some Zuffa haters that or too moronic to see anything other than Dana's face and run and hide.
RujeNuwe December 16, 2011
The moment I heard that Zuffa was going to keep SF around I immediately thought it would become the premiere organization for WMMA.Glad they decided to keep it around for that reason alone…love watching the ladies get down….
Rick December 16, 2011
Dont worry about Melendez, he will be in the UFC soon enough.
kuelniss December 16, 2011
Good points StarCityInk, however, due to that very reason he may be able to make a nice $$$ contract coming up. After all, that is the number 1 goal.
wow December 16, 2011
Well this is a smart move to be honest, theres what 3 decent heavyweights in strikeforce and Barnett isnt one of them.
Big foot vs Mir i would like that fight.
i love Arlovski but he just aint the guy he was in the early UFC's
And in all fairness i aint a huge fan of womens MMA unless its cyborg all you get is 3 round decisions. No power
muahaha December 16, 2011
@ Tempted… you have been tempted to suck dana's dick! Congrats your a douche! Whatever dana says is true right? Lol he saved "Strikeforce" Maybe true… but hell it was more exciting than some of the ufc fights. I rather see strikeforce die with dignity. Not some of there good fighters get picked apart by ufc than slowly die.
JoeDog December 16, 2011
You can hear the loud gulping sounds as the UFC swallows up Strikeforce, heavyweights first. Odd, its seem that just a short while ago, Strikeforce had what was considered a very serious group of HWs. Can Barnett get a UFC contract? The imagination wanders…Bigfoot vs Nelson. Barnett vs Mir. Cormier vs Carwin…. ?????
lobosamurai December 16, 2011
I'm just happy that Strikeforce is still going to be around!! The HW's in Stikeforce were about to recycle the 6-8 HW's left. I hope they all go to the UFC.The UFC HW's are a small group aswell. This should be good!
Sweetlander December 16, 2011
@hann solo, go back to bed
kryptonite December 17, 2011
keep strikeforce for the women no way they should ever be in the ufc totally spoil it

Mike Schur on the End of 'Parks and Recreation' and NBC's Thursday Night Comedies
If you've been a TV comedy fan within the past ten years, chances are that Mike Schur is behind one of your favorite shows. An original writer and producer on the American Office, Schur currently serves as co-creator of two major network comedies starring SNL alums with Fox's Brooklyn Nine-Nine and NBC's Parks and Recreation, which kicks off its seventh and final season tonight. Ahead of the Parks season premiere, I talked with Schur about how he approached the end of the Amy Poehler-starring show, what he thinks of the future of major network sitcoms, and what separates a successful final season from the rest.

In short I got a lot better at the game. I hit thirty and was excited to join the ranked games thinking that I was pretty darn good at LoL. I won my first eight games in a row but all I could really do well was jungle Nunu so as soon as Nunu didn't fit the team build at champion selection I feared bad things were coming. I got my ELO up to 1500 just riding good carries and having decent map awareness and constant ganks. Then my carries started to fail I started to try new characters and I dropped 20 games in a row and then dropped to about 1050 ELO. So what did I do. I started off raging against riot thinking it was everyone else's fault since I was so good and stopped having fun playing. Then I had several realizations. If you are a low ELO player you are not as good as the high ELO players. Period. There is a reason you are in low ELO. Second I realized that there are games your team will lose for you but at low ELO's you can carry a team really well if you do the following. 1. Have better map awareness. Gank and don't be ganked. 2. Buy wards. Buy lots of them. I don't care if you are the tank buy them and put them in quality places. The more map you can see the less you die and the more you gank. 3. Play a champion that can carry through having a scrub or two or even three on your team. Get good with a good with tanks, carries, supports, and junglers. I have at least two of each I am above average to excellent with. Try all the champions in normal and custom games and find your niche. 4. Communicate. If your jungler is missing good gank opportunities tell him. If you are coming to gank tell someone. 5. Stop raging when you are losing. You will lose sometimes. The best players in the game still lose and you are not one of them. 6. Complete your rune book. I good rune book is like starting the game with 1500g instead of 475. 7. It really doesn't hurt to watch a video or two online of some of the good players playing and see how they carry their team. How much they micro, where they go, what they buy, when they initiate, how they initiate, ward placement, and their positioning in team fights. They are better then you so try and emulate them until you stop being a bad player. 8. Last hit minions better. Simple and game changing. 9. NEVER get out of position in team fights or late game. One person out of position can be a game loser. If someone on your team is tell them and since you have the map well warded, if they are out of position make them pay. If you are Ashe don't stand at the front of your team. If you are malphite don't stand at the back. 10. If you find someone you mesh well with duo queue with them. If you rock as malphite or alistar or any tank not perma banned and they throw down a mean carry then by all means duo queue with them. You will still lose some but now at least you won't have four players you can't play with on your team. The main thing to realize is there is a reason you have low ELO and stop blaming the system and start getting better. I did and am back up above 1300 ELO and consistently rising. You can be too. Also its a game so have fun with it and remember you are not Hotshotgg because if you were you wouldn't have 1000 ELO.
Senior Member
You cannot carry all teams. Im not neccessarily in ELO HELL, but teams in 1200-1300 are horrible. And they feed like crazy. Also there are lots of TROLLs. Im happy for you i guess. But hope i have a good day and go up like 100-150 ELO and be at 1400.. And hopefully no more uber bad teams.
You'll come back down eventually OP. I had the same streak, rising up from 900 to 1295. Now I just get feeders. All your points are basic and I employ them. Feeders, afkers, leavers, and bots (people that play just like them at least) overwhelm any one person's ability to carry. It takes a little bit of skill but mostly a lot of luck that you don't have the worst feeders. I've tried all roles- jungle, carry, tank, support, roaming. I am successful, my team is not. Once we stop being able to fight as a team, I try counter pushing. My team will inevitably decide to engage a 4v5 fight. The stupidity is never ending and completely unfathomable.
You're right, but I get teams like this V often, and it's impossible to carry unless you're a) SUPER PRO or SUPER HIGH Elo) *******http://screenshot.xfire.com/s/113383524-4.jpg******** @around 10 min enemy had like 8 kills already from top and mid. D:
^^^ I feel your pain. I should start posting up ss of my defeat ranked games.
Enjoy doing all of these things and being a good player, and still being stuck in elo hell. It's pure luck.
Hmm well at least there are a few lucky people out there. However I am defiantly not one of those people. I just played 3 games today. My team won the first two matches really quick and I only got +6 ELO both matches it was sad. Then came my third match where my team had a rage quitter at 2 mins into the game. and our TF was 0 10 0 by the 20 min mark. I then prompted for a surrender and with 3 yeses and one no the game ended. I was 3 3 2 at end game. all three of my deaths happened in our base. It was past the point of any hope of a come back. Any guesses to what my reward was? ... that's right -12 ELO. So I need 3 wins for every loss it looks like. At the rate I'm going its not going to happen sure I have 20+ wins over losses but I'm still stuck at 1290 ELO and dropping. The majority of my losses are like this. Granted there are a FEW losses where the other team was just better, but really when I can still solo 2 people even after there fed somethings wrong.
You get 1/2 ELO when losses are being forgiven (aka loss = 0 ELO change). This happens when the servers are ****ing up games or something (which happened today).

Johnny Cash memorabilia up for auction
LOS ANGELES -- The man in black will be bringing in some green when Johnny Cash's guitars, costumes, handwritten lyrics and personal belongings go on the auction block.
The embroidered blue jumpsuit Cash wore to rehearse for his infamous performance at San Quentin State Prison is expected to fetch $3,000 to $5,000. Also up for sale are vintage guitars, a harmonica, Cash's passport and briefcase, and pages and pages of handwritten lyrics, notes and poems.
The items will be on view in Los Angeles before the Dec. 5 sale, administered by Julien's Auctions. A portion of the proceeds will benefit MusiCares, the Recording Academy's charity for musicians in need.
NY judge who was model for 'Bonfire' dies
NEW YORK -- Burton B. Roberts, the outspoken judge who was the model for the cranky jurist in ''The Bonfire of the Vanities,'' has died. He was 88.
The Hebrew Home for the Aged in the Bronx said Monday that Roberts, a resident there, died Sunday.
Roberts spent a half-century in public service law as a prosecutor, judge and chief administrative judge in the Bronx.
Roberts was the model for Myron Kovitsky, a rare hero in Tom Wolfe's acclaimed novel ''The Bonfire of the Vanities.'' Both the real and the fictional judges were famous for their tempers and rants from the bench.
But Roberts was also greatly admired for his compassion, his sense of justice and his legal acumen.
NPR chief says sorry for how firing handled
NEW YORK -- NPR's chief executive says she's sorry for the way analyst Juan Williams' dismissal was handled -- but she's not sorry for firing him.
Vivian Schiller sent an apology to NPR staff members Sunday night. She says Williams deserved a face-to-face meeting to hear his contract as an analyst was being terminated for remarks he made on Fox News Channel.
Williams was fired for saying that he gets nervous when he's on a plane and sees people in clothing that identifies them as Muslim.

I have been working at Echo Global Logistics full-time (more than a year)
Young culture and extracurricular activities are geared toward that.
Atmosphere is light and loose.
The potential here is staggering ... if they can reach it remains to be seen. There are many things that we do well. But many, many others that we simply get by on brute force.
Quantity over quality is the name of the game. Focus is on turning out code, which is often sub-par.
It is not a collaborative environment. Not just between individual development teams, but between the business and the analysts, the analysts and the developers, and between development teams. We simply do not work well together to compliment each other.
Pay and benefits in IT is mediocre, especially given the hours and effort expended, turnover is high.
No investment in training for IT staff. Not on the business. Not ongoing technical training.
There are a lot of young managers, who were promoted from within the company, which is generally good. But there is little balance between young guns that only know the "Echo Way" and seasoned professionals that can help the company improve.
There are some smart people in IT. Put the brightest from IT and the business in a room and engage them. Collaborate with them. Then challenge them. They will challenge you back and help you to examine your preconceptions. Put all the pieces to the puzzle on the table so we can find the missing pieces together. The result will be truly dynamic partnership.

ProsYoung atmosphere constant change, and Beer Friday.
ConsWhere to begin: For starters, the 'Logistics Sales Trainee' period is outrageous. 6 months of managers the same age as you making you feel replaceable. The training period is going through rotations for 6 months, doing jobs they don't want to hire actual full time employees for. In short, you upload documents for 6 months and then do one week of sales training and get thrown on the sales floor and are expected to make all these goals when you have very little guidance. The atmosphere is so young that promotions are based on favoritism, not because the person actually deserved it. Communication between departments is terrible, I would even say there is no communication period. The pay is horrible and not competitive to other Logistic companies in Chicago. The only way they make up for wasting 6 months of your life is bringing in beer on Fridays mid-afternoon.
Advice to ManagementAdviceListen to your employees and what they have to say. Learn how to communicate with each other and make changes with the training program. The turnover rate would be much lower if even the smallest changes started getting made.

Who would have thought? Sounds like a cool idea? Anyone seen the 2004 Super Bowl footage that is mentioned? NFL to broadcast Chargers-Raiders game in 3-D next week : Ben Patterson : Yahoo! Tech
Re: NFL Games in 3D? They're experimenting with the Chargers/Raiders game so if it screws up nobody will be watching. Rumor has it they'll be doing the same thing next year with the entire Lions season.
Re: NFL Games in 3D? ya, I suppose that is the only way to get anyone to watch the Raiders this year.
Re: Awesome. The Patriots burn the Raiders again. funny.... but why choose a game in which the raiders are playing in order to display new tech? those marketing guys need some advice
Re: NFL Games in 3D? I'll be curious to see how much they charge for this once they roll it out to the public. If nothing else, the NFL knows how to keep on coming up with new revenue streams.
Re: Awesome. The Patriots burn the Raiders again. taken from the article..."As we hear it, however, the Raiders felt a bit left out, since a screening of the game in the Bay Area would have been a great way for the organization to engender goodwill with current local sponsors, potential local sponsors, and folks who plunk down big money each year for luxury suites at home games." or maybe a better way for the Raiders to shmooze sponsors would be to actually put a quality product on the field instead of being the worst run franchise in sports (besides the Lions)
Re: Awesome. The Patriots burn the Raiders again. The play will be boring enough to allow those attending to focus on the technology without the distraction of an actual football game.
You guys are as slow as our defense ... http://www.patsfans.com/new-england...6869-nfl-air-chargers-vs-raiders-game-3d.html
I hope that the 3D technology has improved a lot... because I saw journey to the center of the earth in 3d and I wasn't all that impressed.
Re: Awesome. The Patriots burn the Raiders again. Hey ALP. You need to fix your sig. REDD isn't on the IR. RUUD is on the IR.
Thinking about this a bit more, I question if this will catch on at all in it's present format - other than attending one time for the novelty factor. People that go out to watch a game (rather than staying at home, or attending live) for the most part are drinking and eating at a sports bar. A 3-D theatre is not set up to cater to delivering drinks and bar food to it's patrons; there are no tables, but rather rows of seats to maximize attendance. Unless the technology can be brought to sports bars, or the theatre can be easily re-configured to replicate a sports bar (tables with easy access by waitresees; bar food rather than theatre food; full liquor bar) I just don't see this concept being much of a success - regardless of how good the technology is.

Red Bulls David Coulthard will drop five places on the Monaco grid following a gearbox change resulting from his qualifying crash on Saturday. It means the Scot will now start from 15th place.
Despite going off into the barriers exiting the tunnel at the end of Q2, Coulthard had done enough to secure a top-ten grid slot. However, damage to his RB4 was extensive enough to require significant repairs, including a new transmission.
Two other drivers have already received gearbox penalties this weekend - Sebastian Vettel of Toro Rosso and Force Indias Giancarlo Fisichella, who start 19th and 20th respectively.
The provisional grid in full:
1. Felipe Massa, Ferrari
2. Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari
3. Lewis Hamilton, McLaren

Considering a '66 Islander 21
I have been considering a sailboat for over a year now and researching and searching seriously for a few months now. I came upon a really neat little 1966 Islander 21 just a few towns over. I went and looked at her and liked what I saw. Can anyone help with how good the construction of these boats are and how well (stable) they sail?
Thanks! :D |
:) |
Re: Considering a '66 Islander 21
Hi, Do you still have the boat. I am looking at one right now 1968 Islander 21. Not too many people have these boats I think. Do you like your boat. Did you have a chance to take her out for sailing? If yes what do you think? I like how small it is and how simple it looks. Thanks,
Re: Considering a '66 Islander 21
I'd be delighted if nogin answers you, and he may, but I am not sure he is still active. His last post was May 3, 2010. No doubt you have already discovered that information on Islanders is hard to find. Islander built great boats but the company appears to have been badly run financially. Already financially weak after a move offshore to cut building costs, it succumbed to the disastrous 10% luxoury tax in the late '80s. In lieu of nogin's answer, I'll point you to Islander information I have found.
Hope this helps! Tom |
Re: Considering a '66 Islander 21
Thank you Tom for responding to my question. I really like the Islander 21. It is small but able to pack in so much. This boat comes with a sink, big V birth and seat that can turn into a table. Which boat do you owned? Do you still sail a lot? Again thanks for the info. Hoang

Purchase Reason
I like the print, print quality, and size. The frame is very poor quality, and the top of the frame is bowing upward due to the weight being carried by the sides of the frame.
The clear plastic cover is highly reflective around any light source.
I will need to reframe this poster. I will not by another of this type.

Owners of new small to medium businesses have quite a lot to think about. Their primary concern would typically be making a mark in their selected niche — with plenty of new and established competition out there, a venture's entry would have to be extraordinary, and their offerings would be better welcomed by consumers if they address an important need or desire in the lives of their intended market. And then there are matters such as finding enough qualified personnel for handling the different aspects of the business, partnering with the best possible suppliers necessary for the creation of their products or services, putting up a website and creating online accounts for publicity, and others.
With a full plate in their hands (and financial matters to attend to in order to make everything run smoothly to boot), it's no wonder that small business owners would be on the lookout for a cost-effective and flexible solution to another, more pressing matter: the acquisition of physical office space. The conventional way of going about this is to lease space, but a fledgling company may not yet have sufficient resources for a lease that ties the company down to a specific location for more than a year. There is one viable option, though: why not consider using a serviced office? Liverpool Street may just be the ideal location for your small venture's operations.
Located on quiet New Broad Street (found between Old Broad Street and Bloomfield Street), Liverpool Street offers convenience for both the small business's team and the clients they will be meeting. The office is just a short walk away from the tube, so travelling to the address will be no problem at all. But what other advantages does this serviced office provide small business owners? Listed below are three:
1. A serviced office can be just the right size for a small venture, but with all the practical office features. If all you need is a single room plus access to a dedicated conference room, then a serviced office enables you to utilise both — without paying more than you need to. Because you share the office space with other companies, the price of using office equipment (such as phone systems, fax machines, photocopiers, etc.) is significantly lowered — and you still get to perform your necessary tasks.
2. Serviced offices lend an impressive professional image. You may occupy only one or two rooms in the office building, but thanks to the well-managed property, your business will look like a well-oiled, long-established company. A professional receptionist can take or forward your calls, and they can also offer clients coffee or tea before leading them to a boardroom for a meeting.
3. The offices save time and money. In such an office setting, staff members are often kept to a minimum, so managing people will only take a fraction of the time. Also, a serviced office puts everything together into one bill per month — rates, rent, electricity, cleaning, gas, and such — so figuring out the total costs means less hassle for the business owner.

Anna Gordy Gaye, ex-wife of Marvin Gaye, dies in Los Angeles at 92
Published on Feb 1, 2014 6:05 AM
LOS ANGELES (REUTERS) - Anna Gordy Gaye, the ex-wife of late soul legend Marvin Gaye and the older sister of Motown record label founder Berry Gordy Jr, died in Los Angeles on Friday at the age of 92, the family publicist said.
"She died today at her Los Angeles home. She passed away from natural causes. They discovered her body at 3.00am,"said Maureen O'Connor, executive vice president of publicists Rogers & Cowan.
The songwriter and businesswoman was married to Gaye from 1964 to 1977 and helped compose two songs, Flying High (In The Friendly Sky) and God Is Love, on Gaye's classic album What's Going On.
She was also the inspiration for his hit Pride and Joy.

Rick Perry praised the court decisionTexas won another battle against Planned Parenthood this week.A federal appeals court, on Thursday, refused to grant another hearing to the organization, a decision that stops the organization's fight against Texas' effort to ban state funding for Planned Parenthood affiliates.Texas Gov. Rick Perry applauded the decision, by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals."Today's ruling affirms yet again that in Texas the Women's Health Program has no obligation to fund Planned Parenthood and other organizations that perform or promote abortion. In Texas we choose life, and we will immediately begin defunding all abortion affiliates to honor and uphold that choice," Perry said.The decision continues a legal struggle that has been going on for months.The Texas Women's Health Program provides about 130,000 low-income women with family planning exams, related health screenings and contraception. Texas opposed government funding for Planned Parenthood clinics because the organization provides abortions.The state said in March that it was willing to give up funding from Washington and run the Women's Health Program itself. It then adopted a rule that required clinics funded by the program to certify they do not perform abortions or are not affiliates of entities that perform abortions. In a letter to Texas officials in March, Medicaid Director Cindy Mann said the state's decision was regrettable. It would, she said, "prevent women enrolled in the program from receiving services from the trusted health care providers they have chosen and relied on for their care."Planned Parenthood sued Texas, winning an injunction against the law by arguing that abortion is constitutional and Texas' efforts would block women's access to preventive health care. But a federal court later ruled in favor of Texas.More from us94 million Americans say: 'Enough with winter, already'Pit bull mix found shot, tied to rail tracksFerguson's not the only city to get scathing federal report Powered by Livefyre

Ironing: how to make money by running an ironing service
So you want to spend your spare time ironing? Better you than us – and because that's what most people think, there's an extremely high demand for efficient and quality ironing services. If you can get your hands on some coat hangers and know your way round an ironing board then this may well be the money-maker you've been looking for.
What's involved?
First things first – you need to be able to iron to a high standard and have the essentials: a good iron and ironing board. It's likely there will already be an ironing service near you with plenty of customers – so it's of the utmost importance that you deliver the best possible results to everyone that chooses to use you instead.
You have two options: to sign on with an agency, or to start up your own ironing business.
With the first option, things should be pretty simple. It's simply a case of finding the closest agency to you and convincing them that you're a worthy ironer. Different agencies will provide various services such as collection, delivery, alterations and repairs and laundry so it's up to you to find the one that best suits your skills.
When you sign up to an agency, it is their responsibility to deal with aspects such as insurance, although if you must be registered as self-employed (the agency should tell you this) then you will have to consider some income tax issues which you can read about in this article.
Some agencies will simply put you in touch with a local customer and leave you to arrange the payments between you. Mrs Hunt's Staffing, for example, has clients in the posh parts of London and the Home Counties who need housekeeping, cleaning and ironing work. They'll match an ironer to their client's needs and allow the two parties to decide on a price.
If you decide to work for an agency, the work is normally part time and often flexible. Payment can be offered in a range of ways such as an hourly rate, a fee per item or a fee per pound. You can expect to earn between £8 and £12 per hour, 50p and £1 per item or between 50p and £1 per pound of clothes, depending on where you work.
Although some agencies won't require you to drive, having wheels will definitely make your job easier. If you don't already have a vehicle, then read our article on car leasing.
Get new money-making secrets every week for free. Sign up here now!
How do I start my own ironing service?
Have a look in your local paper and in shop windows. Are there already a hundred ironing services advertised? If so, there probably won't be room for any more. If, however, you don't notice any then there may be demand for your services. Before you begin planning your service, start small at home and build your business.
You'll have to register as self-employed within three months of working for yourself, and it's worth contacting your local Business Link to discuss insurance aspects.
At first, it's advisable to start small with a simple ironing service and take things from there. However, if you're a well-practised seamstress then your extra talents will be welcomed with open arms. Be aware that you'll be expected to have the ironing prepared in either plastic bags or on hangers so you'll have to get to grips with the art of folding without making creases.
A major service that's attractive to most customers is collection and delivery, which you can only offer if you drive. It's acceptable to charge a small fee for this, and you should work the fee out by taking into account the cost of driving and the cost for your time. On the plus side, when you register as self-employed you can claim the tax back for the costs incurred when driving to and from the customer – so keep all your receipts for petrol!
Jasmine says...
Speed up your ironing with this handy heated ironing board cover from Lakeland. The thick padding gives clothes a crisp professional look and will really impress your clients.
Drawing up a budget shouldn't take too long and it's essential if you want to make any real money. All you have to do is draw up a list of how much it'll cost you for supplies such as coat hangers, plastic wrappers, receipts and labels; then a list of expenses such as fuel and the cost of your time.
You can advertise in whichever way you choose, although the best form of advertising is always word of mouth. Let all your friends, family and work colleagues know that you do this and you'll be sure to have your first few customers. Once you've got used to the pace of things you could advertise in shop windows, your local paper, the Yellow Pages and maybe even run your own website.
Top tips
- Get some business cards printed for free with Vistaprint, and hand them out at every opportunity.
- Smokers need not apply. If your customers get a whiff of smoke on their clothes you won't be expecting any repeat business.
- Ironing in the summer can be hot work so pick up a cheap fan to keep you cool while you're working.
- Good business insurance is a must in case you iron a hole in anyone's designer suit. Find the best deal on our insurance comparison pages.
- Advertise your services on a site like Gumtree.

Hi. I started my own ironing service with my website and things took off faster than I could have hoped. We tried the usual leaflet dropping and things like that, but at the end of the day most of our business came from Google using their Adwords service, and taking bookings through our website. Our site was produced by startyourownironingservice.co.uk and they did a great job for us. Might not be for everyone, but well worth a look.
Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found
a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!-
That's really funny…….god one might

SALEM, Ore. — Super PACs are spending big in Oregon's republican primary this election.
According to campaign finance records, three super political action committees and one traditional political action committee have reported spending more than $900,000 to either support or oppose State Representative Jason Conger and Portland physician Monica Wehby.
The money was paid for by advertisements on television, radio and the internet, as well as mailers arriving with ballots in registered republicans' mailboxes.
Super PACs can raise and spend unlimited sums on federal races.

Hey guys,
I just recently traded my wife's S&W 442 J frame airweight for another gun. She never shot it and the recoil scared her to death. Not to mention, I am just not a "revolver" person. My local gun range has a Ruger LCP in .380 for under $300. Do you think this would be any better for my wife than the snubby was? OR should I get her a heavier, larger revolver? Heck, maybe even a shot gun. She does not have her CCW and may or may not ever get it. I'm almost thinking a shotgun for her to have around the house would be best.
Thoughts on recoil of the small 380's, I have never shot one so I dunno. Accuracy? Feasibility of carry for the wife?
Thanks for any input you can give me. I don't have a huge budget for this, but I want her to have something. Currently I just leave my 9mm at home with her during the day, but I'd like my gun to be with me, ya know.

Huddersfield coach Paul Anderson admitted his relief after their narrow fourth round Challenge Cup win over Batley.
The Giants trailed 4-0 at the interval after Gareth Potts scored the only try of the first half with two minutes left on the clock.
But two quickfire tries in as many minutes from Shaun Lunt saw the Super League side safely into the hat for the fifth round.
Anderson said: "It's the Challenge Cup and that's what it's all about. We did not expect Batley to lie down and roll over. It was a good, old-fashioned Challenge Cup game.
"What Batley did was challenge us in many areas but we found a way to win.
"There were parts of the game I was disappointed with and we didn't get a flow going but I don't want to take anything away from Batley. They were excellent.
No pressure
"It's all about Batley. They had no pressure and they have had a decent crowd and pushed a top two Super League club all the way."
Anderson praised Lunt who has now scored eight tries in seven matches: "Shaun is a good player and good players play well in big games."
Batley coach John Kear said: "I thought our players were magnificent. We can certainly defend and the most we have conceded this season is 18 points.
"This is what the Challenge Cup is all about. I can't fault Huddersfield because they were very respectful to us and played very well. Anybody who paid their £15 have had their money's worth."

asgrp 5pts Um...I agree with Ductchwindmill, porsche products build to last if you maintain it correctly. The car will deliver the results based on it spec. Speaking from experience (06-Boxster, 06-C6 and 04-911) these cars are builded by the manufacture for different driver. 1 thing I must say I will not take my 911/Boxster go straight line with C6. However, if it California coastal road then C6 is grounded. As far as cost is concern it a "Sport Car" so expect initial and maintenance cost. Overtime, the automobile become attach to you. In my opinion it not "How Fast you can go" but rather "How responsive the car to you".
dutchwindmill 5pts discussion of looks is pretty useless. if you like the looks of a 370 better, buy the nissan. what i miss in the discussion is build quality and durability. if you take the tuv figures (the german automobile testing organization) you will find that porsche tops the reliability rankings in cars over 10 years old. this may not mean much to the buyer who trades in his car after a few years, but im just pointing out that these cars are built to last and that (ALSO that) comes at a cost.
jhood 5pts The Z is a great car and, as a Boxster owner, I think it probably does outperform the Boxster in many ways. I have owned/rented/borrowed just about every kind of car there is and driven the hell out of all of them (including the Z on some of California's most challenging mountain trails). The Boxster might not be the fastest but, as bbkk says, it is one sweet package and makes an outstanding daily driver that does not engender spousal resistance. If I cared how much it cost, I probably wouldn't own it but, frankly, I don't.
mike212008 5pts I'll take a used Lexus IS-F with 2000 miles for $49,000. Never got the point of making cars so small and so low to the ground. It may be quick and handle well but get slammed on the driver side by an SUV and your dead, guess thats why I only see people 50+ driving these.
-V8villain- 5pts yea i know performance wise and interior they are almost but the styling and pedigree is what im talking about
cayman s 5pts If you have to think about the cost of owning a Porsche you are already out of the game. You can have your Z or WRX, but sometimes there is no substitute. I recently changed my Cayman S to a RS60.V8vilain, do you have a 911? You do know that difference between Cayman S and 911 is engine placement right? Same interior bits, same suspension bits etc, etc.
-V8villain- 5pts this is a brilliant drivers car however I have two problems with it one I just hate it i dont Know why partly because i see it as a cheap substitute for the 911 (so is the caymen) also the backside of this car is uglier then the back side of an overweight plumber and the e90 m3 is as good as dancing jesus and they come around more often. sound better to
bbkk 5pts Rapier7 - That's in comparision to a 911, which in C&D's eyes is considerably more expensive and has mostly attributed to the reason why they praised the M3 over the 911. The Boxster/Cayman is more in line with the Z4/M Coupe, which if I remember correctly, lost to the Cayman S despite the Cayman's $10k - $15K higher price tag. I think that comparison was in R&T though.
rapier7 5pts gball, the fine folks at C&D would disagree with you. Apparenty the E90 M3 is the best thing since Dancing Jesus.
gball 5pts To compare a Boxster to any "bang-for the buck" car like a Z or WRX is to miss the point of the car in a comprehensive way.Just go drive one. Your comparisons to Z's, WRX's, etc. will fade quickly, as will worrying about the absurd importance people seem to place on meaningless 0 - 60 times and other performance numbers.There is, quite simply, no better driving experience to be had anywhere in the world for anywhere close to the price. Perhaps not even for double the price.This car is a total package and needs to be evaluated in the context it was intended, not some silly set of numbers that "prove" that a Z "smokes" a Porsche or that a WRX is a better value.
mo_pho 5pts Looks fantastic, by the way. My neighbor has one of the earlier Boxsters with the optional sport exhaust, and it sounds freaking DIVINE. Makes me cream my pants when I hear it.
mo_pho 5pts It goes without saying that there are cheaper cars that will smoke it. Porsche isn't about bang for the buck. They are a business, with an image to uphold and money to make. They didn't accumulate the massive capital needed to take over VW by selling cars at bargain prices. Porsche makes more profit off each car than probably just about any non-exotic maker, and there's no reason for them to change it, frankly.Of course, I'd absolutely love to own a $30k stripper, but it ain't gonna happen, and I don't question why not.
Trackaholic 5pts According to the C&D Lighting lap, the 2006 Cayman S lapped in 3:09.5, the 350Z in 3:12.5, the 2008 Cobalt SS in 3:13.0, and the 2008 S2000 CR in 3:15.0.It's safe to say that the 09 Boxter S will be slower than the Cayman S, but probably not by much. The Regular Boxter will probably be close to the 350 Z and Cobalt (both of which are significantly faster than the S2000).Whether the huge price increase is worth the performance difference is a much tougher question. It's no secret that the Porsche is overpriced relative to pure numbers, but the driving feel of the Boxster/Cayman is arguably one of the best for any car at any price. If you only care about track times, then buy a shifter cart, otherwise, you'll be making tradeoffs between price, performance, and luxury. Only you can decide where to spend the cash.I personally would love a Cayman S, but have a hard time justifying the price increase over a 370Z.-T
eviltollman 5pts Compare the numbers of an s2000 to a Boxster, they're very similar, with he Boxster being a bit quicker acceleration wise. You are very right about the torque though..the s2000 lacks significantly, nothing a supercharger can't fix. But a stock Boxster and stock s2000 on a road course would be a great race though..
bbkk 5pts Also, I forgot to mention that those 0-60 times are reported from Porsche, which means they're probably conservative by a half second or so. I would expect those numbers to drop significantly once MT actually tests the Boxster. The new Z will probably outperform the standard boxster, but not the S. Haha, S2000?? You must be joking. The boxster probably has more torque in 6th gear at 30 mph than an S2000. Not to mention the plans to replace the current S2000 have been put on hold at least a few years until the market rebounds. However, I could agree with you on taking the 135i over the boxster. Roughly the same acceleration and luxury, but would still need some suspension improvements to handle as well as the boxster.
eviltollman 5pts bbkk, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU GUYS ARE TRYING TO TELL ME!!!! I just plain think that $50k is too much for this car...I like to think that people who pay that much for this car are suckers. They probably would have been better off in an S2000...yes a HONDA!! I said it a Honda!If I had $50k to spend on a car, i sure as hell wouldn't spend it on the Boxster..I just can't justify that by any means. I'd take a 135 and tune it and leave the rest of the money for other upgrades..
bbkk 5pts Evil - This isn't rocket science. A bang for the buck Porsche, (whether its badged Porsche or VW), would be a complete dilution of its brand equity, which is the consumer's perceived value of the product. In plain words, they're expensive because people expect to pay that amount of money for a Porsche and are willing to do so. People will pay a premium for a Porsche because a Porsche is the pinnacle of how a sports car should feel while driving it. For the money, a Porsche will never post the best horsepower/acceleration/handling/braking numbers, but it will most likely be the best complete package. When I say complete package, I mean comfort, luxury, aesthetics, and the overall feel of driving it. One car may have the best steering, while another has the best shifter, and another has the smoothest engine, etc...But Porsches always have the best steering, shifter, pedal feel, engine, and so on. If you're still not getting it, go out and drive one and then tell me its not worth $50K.
eviltollman 5pts But why can't it be about bang for the buck?!?!? This is the entry level Porsche..am I wrong, if you exclude the Cayman of course. Or at least since Porsche owns almost half of VW, share a cayman/boxster platform with VW and make it cheap like $30k cheap. The Boxster is good I'm sure but not $50k good. The Audi TT has the same bloated price problem..
lilredvette-#002 5pts Porsches as well as all other high-end makes are not about bang-for-the-buck! Either you get it or you don't....and all of the critics here don't.
Vandaris 5pts I have never been a fan of porsche's looks or interior. I thought the looked like a VW Bug, and their interior was made of mostly plastic and some leather. I think that this car is 100% more visually awesome and aggressive than its predecessor.Not to mention, this car has some of the best handling on the planet. That said, I still think it's ridiculous how expensive this car is performance wise. It's a porsche, it's supposed to be awesome. The Nissan 350Z has a 0-60 of 5.1 beating the 5.6, and the 370Z has a 0-60 of 4.7.Starting at $29,000, why can't the german experts at porsche beat it?
eviltollman 5pts I see what you mean here but I feel that a Porsche is to be a total driver's car, they've become somewhat too concerned with luxury..it's understandable though..
bbkk 5pts evil - You have to drive one to understand. The numbers only tell half the story. In comparison with the WRX, there's no on/off boosted power, better weight distribution, convertible top, and I'm sure the interior materials are worlds ahead of any Subaru. Besides, most Porsche owners don't live by the numbers. If you want a Porsche for $25K, go find a late 90's/early 2000's Boxster and tune it to your liking.
eviltollman 5pts $50K is alot for 0-60 in 5.6 seconds, don't get me wrong..I'm sure the car is a dream to drive, but really?!?! Can't Porsche give us a lightweight sub $40k stripped down boxster? Hell, I'll take roll down windows if need be.Or I'll just take an '09 WRX, 0-60 in sub 5 seconds, turbo boxer motor, $25k, and a few suspension mods and it will probably handle just as well as the boxster.

The guys over at vg resource center are adding fuel to the Metal Gear Solid 4 coming to the 360 rumor. Supposedly, they received an email from an anonymous source at Konami stating that Xbox 360 owners would be seeing MGS 4 roughly six months after launch. In effect, a timed exclusive for the PS3. The email also goes on to say that Konami has
"been working with Microsoft so the 360 and PC versions will both take advantage of Xbox Live and Games for Windows Live, with such features as achievements and the ability for 360 and PC owners to play against each other in multiplayer"
Interesting isn't it? Just from that sentence we're going to have to call bullcrap on this rumor, especially since they're claiming to allow PC and Live players to play against eachother. How many games have fully integrated this feature and how much of an undertaking would it be? The undertaking would be massive and is especially odd since MGS 4 would have initially been a PS3 exclusive. There's definitely a chance that we'll be seeing MGS 4 on the 360, but only a 2% chance it'd be integrated into Live for Windows. Sorry everyone, we're going say "blah" to this Konami contact.
[Thanks, djphatjive]
