crown moulding - 1912 Edwardian
remodel-mamaOctober 15, 2010
Anyone have pictures of what style crown moulding was typically used in 1912 Edwardian homes?
We have a 3 piece moulding in the entrance way, living room and dining room. Is is made up of a simple cove moulding (with no fancy details, curves), then a 10" board and then a picture rail.
We have added on a couple of new rooms where this 3 piece arrangement won't work well and we are just going to do a basic (one piece) crown moulding instead. We planned to simply use the cove that is used in the entrance way, living room, etc. (without the other 2 pieces below), but DH is afraid that it might look too plain. What do you think?

dripping exterior Romart frost free faucet
I have tried to fix this persistent drip. When I disassembled the fixture, the retainer screw appeared to be broken -- the head was missing and the remains of the screw at the broken end was crumbly even though underneath the debris the remaining end was shiny copper or brass. Looks more like copper I turned the water on and flushed out the valve seat washer (it had not come out with the stem) but no screw head.
The washer seemed in good shape so I reused it, replaced the screw, also replaced the packing washer at the handle end; put it all back together and turned the water on. No drip -- success I thought!
But, the next day, the drip was back. I just finished replacing the valve seat washer but still it drips--one drop every 8 seconds.
Any suggestions?
The only other thing that I think might be useful information -- I disassembled the other outdoor faucet because of a leak at the handle when on that I couldn't tighten down. Took it all apart just to check the valve seat washer and found that it was covered with (I think) mineral build up such that I couldn't even see the screw. And, I couldn't scrape it off!
This faucet went back together and the handle leak fixed okay. I wonder if there is similar buildup in the first faucet that isn't letting the stem seat properly? if so, how can I fix that?
I think that will be beyond me! but I did some googling (actually Bing-ing), and strongly suspect that it was rock-hard mineral deposits that caused the screw to break and won't allow a seal. Maybe I can clean up the mineral deposits from the seat enough to work. Thinking about stuffing a sponge soaked in CLR in there.
I wanted to follow up in case anyone else has the same problem -- which really was hard water mineral build-up that had corroded the retainer screw and didn't allow the washer to seat cleanly.
I soaked a bit of rag in Lime-away and pushed it into the end of the stopcock then pushed that into the opening. Let it sit for a while, pulled it out then repeated. Turned the water on to flush out any loose debris, then proceeded to reinstall the sillcock. Success, no more drips!
The second sillcock that I mentioned in my OP, that was crusted in deposits -- I soaked in the Lime-away for a few minutes -- the retainer screw on that one crumbled away with the deposits also and had to be replaced.

There is not a practical need to learn Arabic for business or for the day to day living in Israel. Israelis soldiers might find it useful and the Israeli army does need more interpreters while making arrest and manning checkpoints. However, for business it would be more useful to put that time into learning more English or even Chinese.

CT. Homecoming Show!!!
Sarah Lou Richards, Jesse Terry, Mike Clifford
Cafe Nine
250 State Street
New Haven, CT, 06511
This event is 21 and over
Sarah Lou Richards
Sarah Lou Richards stands at the hands of Americana tradition; a singer/songwriter and compelling bedrock artist with energy, emotion and the work ethic of a new generation.
Richards was born March 7, 1982 in Hudson, Wisconsin and at the age of nine, moved to Madison, Connecticut, where she was raised on her father's music junkie flare and her mother's vintage record taste.
She attended the Hartt School of Music in West Hartford, Connecticut. From there, Richards returned to the Midwest on a scholarship to study scores and compositions at the University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire. In 2005, she graduated with a major in Music Education and an emphasis on vocals.
Richards took what she learned during recitals and performances, to educate young, aspiring musicians. For nearly two years, Richards taught K-5 on the East Coast, only to find the classroom wasn't a perfect fit.
With just enough money set aside to pay for a couple months of rent, Richards crossed the Tennessee state line, determined to make a name for herself using her journal of song titles, hooks and lines.
After only a year of building on her songwriting and balancing three part-time jobs, Richards penned "Emerald City," a five-song EP that independently sold more than one thousand copies. Her first debut musical set on iTunes delivered a sneak peek into Richards' carefree view of life and wry sense of humor.
Taking inspiration from artists as diverse as mainstream acts like the Dixie Chicks, Miranda Lambert, and Bonnie Raitt to alternative singer-songwriters Ryan Adams, Brandi Carlile, Patty Griffin, and David Wilcox, Richards has crafted a debut cache of self-penned tunes that show off her talent not only as a vocalist but also as lyricist.
In 2010, she released "Ruby Red Shoes," a full length disc produced by Henry Paul (BlackHawk / The Outlaws) capturing the fragrant nuance that marks Richards' artistry and on-stage talent.
The breadth of Richards' personal and professional life infuses a positive spirit, yet fierce intellect. Her music showcases one who is not afraid to be a real sinner and a quiet saint.
Today, she continues to embrace her growing fan base at a directory of honky-tonks, watering holes and music venues across the country. Her homemade success earns endless recognition as it comes alive without the benefit of a recording contract or publishing deal, but has stemmed solely from Richards' pure passion for song and voice.
Jesse Terry is an internationally award-winning singer-songwriter whose transcendent life and music make him one of the most prolific indie artists today; his intimacy with audiences, sincerity, and approachability solidifying him as a favorite at nationwide live venues and concert series. With three full-length albums, The Runner, Empty Seat On A Plane, and Stay Here With Me, this salt of the earth musician's lyrical mastery, emotional depth, and soothing voice have often been compared to the likes of Ryan Adams, Jackson Browne, Ray LaMontagne, and James Taylor, reaching deep into listeners' hearts to envelope them in shared joy, sadness, love, and unrelenting hope. The Grand Prize winner of The John Lennon Songwriting Contest, The NSAI/CMT Song Contest, and The We Are Listening Singer/Songwriter Awards, he has garnered worldwide acclaim including the elite honor of performing for US and NATO troops stationed at Thule Air Base in Greenland, and an official endorsement by Stonebridge Guitars International.
"His ability to craft memorable songs is complimented by his supreme ability to deliver them in a sometimes funny, sometimes gut wrenching, but always sincere and authentic manner," praises Dave Dircks, host of the #1 Acoustic Podcast on iTunes, Acoustic Long Island. "At the core of it all, his personality – sunny naivety meets gritty wisdom – is what sets Jesse Terry apart…"
On his own from a young age, Jesse defied the odds by nurturing his passion for music; attending the prestigious Berklee College of Music, landing a Nashville Publishing deal only two months after graduation, touring the globe, and building a close and ever-expanding fan base who avidly funded his last two albums via Pledge Music campaigns. His audience grew quickly from one, his grandmother who was lulled to sleep by his guitar playing and toe-tapping, into a strong grassroots foundation of worldwide individuals who were captivated in settings spanning from intimate listening rooms to house concerts and festivals both small and large. Person by person, state by state, country by country, his fans, supporters, and colleagues have grown exponentially in the past few years, including at multiple gigs where he opened for major artists such as Darrell Scott, Paula Cole, Marty Balin, Liz Longley, and founder of Jefferson Airplane, Marty Balin.
Though the momentum of his career accelerates daily, he attributes his success to his wife and touring partner, Jess, saying her unwavering support was the reason for his first full tour. Cosmically drawn to each other when they met in the South Pacific in 2010, and married only six months later, Jesse and Jess epitomize the kind of love that romantics throughout time have both sought after and struggled to describe. As being apart wrenched their hearts more and more whenever Jesse toured for days, then weeks at a time, the couple decided to unite on all fronts, and travel the country and world together. The solid foundation behind her husband's career in all ways from being his muse and moral support to setting up the stage and co-managing the family business, together the two tour nonstop; their only address the blur of a license plate number as it flies down whichever street they happen to traverse.
The road now his home, his fans his family, and Jess his rock, Jesse Terry's music and life are truly about the journey. His original sound continues to galvanize national and global exposure, including recent placements on the CW's "Hart of Dixie," Lufthansa Airlines, and PBS' "Roadtrip Nation," fueling the prospects of his future steadily ablaze, trails of accolades following in his wake.
"(He's) a force to be reckoned with," iconic DJ of NYC's Rock & Roots Public Radio WFUV John Platt calls Jesse. "His well-crafted songs rank right there with Ryan Adams, Rhett Miller, and other masters of alt-country." Legendary Tony Arata, renowned singer-songwriter and 2012 Inductee into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame lauded him by saying, "I have been a fan of Jesse Terry since the first time I heard him. He's a humble - and humbling - talent."
Undoubtedly intrepid, yet refreshingly genuine and modest, Jesse sums up his view on success, close connection with fans and strangers alike, and excitement for each day with an apropos quote from the film Into the Wild:
"Happiness," he says, "is only real when shared."

advice on stuffing knit toy???
sheilajoyce_gwOctober 19, 2008
I tried to make a cute knit mouse using size 3 needles and doubled sock yarn scraps. When it came time to stuff it, it grew into a rat!
How does one stuff a knit toy so that it keeps it shape, doesn't get lumpy, and doesn't grow huge using polyester fiber fill?
I don't think the stuffing you use will be the determining factor in the ultimate size of an article....I use polyester fiber fill, too, and like it a lot...and, don't find it lumpy if I'm careful to fill it evenly. For myself, I know that I knit loosely and thus my garments/articles tend to be bigger that the instructions say they'll be...so, I always knit with smaller sized needles. In your case your article would have been smaller if you'd used just a single piece of yarn.

The M5 and M6 share the same 560hp powertrain, but the M6 is billed as being even more suited for the track with its lighter weight (about 100 pounds), lower center of gravity (due to lighter carbon roof and lower roofline) and slighter faster acceleration (about a tenth of … CONTINUED

New energy boss to plug skills gap
Last updated at 11:34, Tuesday, 13 November 2012
AN organisation charged with revitalising the Cumbrian coast has a new leader.
Steve Szostak has been named as Britain's Energy Coast's new chief executive.
56-year-old Mr Szostak will take over the company as he seeks to put a blueprint for development in West Cumbria into action.
Steven has spent 20 years running several economic development and business support partnership operations including Doncaster Central Development Trust and Business Link Bradford and District Ltd as well as holding regeneration-related positions at spanning urban and rural issues at Leeds City Council, Cambridgeshire County Council and Craven District Council.
He has also edited three documentaries including Changing Places for BBC TV which celebrated mixed cultures in Bradford as part of the Eid celebrations of 2004.
Mr Szostak has said his role is to help bridge the skills gap between opportunities emerging in West Cumbria and the capabilities of the workforce.
He will preside over BEC in an era when West Cumbria itself is facing a potential £90bn nuclear opportunity, he says, including two or three new reactors, a new grid connection, new spent fuel facility, new Mox plant, and new disposal facility.
He said: "We know there is going to be a growth in demand for well-paid opportunities and that industry needs certain skills. We must narrow the gap between industry need and local skills on offer.
"What we don't want is unemployed plasterers sitting at home watching a minibus full of plasterers coming in from away when they could have done the job themselves."
Mr Szostak said he feels strongly about protecting the existing skills in West Cumbria while hoping to attract people with fresh skills into the area.
Coming from a regeneration background Mr Szostak also sees a strong social benefit from the blueprint in terms of closing the gap between the haves and the have nots.
He added: "There is something wrong when we have areas on Britain's Energy Coast coming out at the wrong end of government indices on fuel poverty. We have got to do something about that.
"I'd hope at the end of my time in this job that [the level of fuel poverty] is no longer the case."
Mr Szostak is keen to continue to build that profile with projects which "turn heads". "If it's to do with energy and it's the world's best, it's got to be here," he says. "We have an important selling job to do.
For a full interview with Mr Szostak and outgoing acting executive Tom Gilroy don't miss the next edition of Britain's Energy Coast, published in the Evening Mail next Tuesday.

BMW launched and announced its initial M Performance Parts lineup officially at the 2012 Geneva Motorshow. While the now released M Performance Parts official catalog explains much, we took some time to find out some more details for you. Stefan Weiss of the M Performance Parts team was helpful in giving us some further insight.
Please give us a quick overview on the M Performance Parts. What's the motive for 'renaming' the Performance Parts program to M Performance Parts?
M Performance Parts are now available for the … CONTINUED
We had the opportunity to sit down with the gracious Dr. Friedrich Nitschke, current BMW M GmbH President, at the 2012 Geneva Motorshow last week. We were primarily interested in discussing future M models and developments and here's what we are able to report.
Is it safe to assume that will there will be a successor to the popular 1M coupe?
We sold more than 5000 units worldwide and we are thinking for a successor, but we haven't made a decision yet.
We've seen next generation M3 … CONTINUED

Check out our walkaround video of the 2013 BMW M6 coupe from its debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. Also see the impressive attention to detail on the M6 coupe by BMW with its functional underside/rear diffuser.
We have posted a walk around video of the F20 1 Series hatchback featuring BMW's new M Performance Accessories/Parts, which debuts at the ongoing 2012 Geneva Motorshow.
If the matte paint of the Frozen Bronze 6 Series Gran Coupe we showed yesterday isn't for you, here's the 6 Series Gran Coupe in a more traditional color – Alpine White.
To recap: The 6 Series Gran Coupe hits the US market in early Summer as a 640i model, with the 650i Gran Coupe and 650i xDrive Gran Coupe (which is the model being displayed at Geneva) following later in the Summer.
Pricing has been announced for the 640i Gran Coupe starting at $76,895 (full pricing details).

The highly anticipated M Sport Package for the new F30 3-series sedan has made another appearance, this time at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. While earlier shows and presentations saw the 335i M Sport, this is the first time we see a 328i getting the M Sport treatment. As most should know, the exterior color is called Estoril Blue II and it's exclusive to the M Sport package.
This car is also fitted with the M Sport Brakes comprising of fixed piston calipers painted in blue at … CONTINUED
It's still quite new on the market but already has many admirers: In February, the new BMW 3- series was launched officially. Now the smart, energetic Bavarian is winning even more hearts at the international Motor Show in Geneva – helped by the tuning specialists at AC Schnitzer.
The Aachen-based experts from AC Schnitzer help the 3-series make an even more impressive appearance with a performance upgrade for the BMW 328i. An extra control unit allows it to deliver 217 kW/ 295 HP and a maximum torque … CONTINUED
For ALPINA, a technology driven company, standstill is a foreign word. Since the introduction of the B7 Bi-Turbo, the engineers from Buchloe, Germany, have been continuously working on the details of the turbo charging and intercooler system.
Consequently, the all-aluminium V8 power plant now produces 540hp (397kW) at a moderate 5200 to 6250rpm, with a maximum torque of 730Nm from 2800 to 5000rpm. Two turbo-chargers configured in parallel, each feeding one … CONTINUED
The M135i Concept has debuted at the 2012 Geneva Motorshow. It previews the upcoming M135i, the next vehicle which will join the ranks of BMW's new M Performance vehicle lineup (in addition to the already revealed M550d and X5/X6 M50d). It also represents the first petrol/gasoline M Performance model. If that's not enough firsts, this concept is also the first official look at the F21 3-door hatchback.
No specs have been released on the M135i yet, but BMW has printed that it employs a straight six-cylinder petrol … CONTINUED
The 6 series based models – the 6 Series Gran Coupe (official info thread) and the M6 Coupe are front and center as the focus of the BMW display at the 2012 Geneva show. This show also represents the 6 Series Gran Coupe's world premiere. It will have its North American debut at the New York International Auto Show in early April. The color seen on the car is called Frozen Bronze Metallic.
The 6 Series Gran Coupe hits the US market in early Summer as a … CONTINUED
We bring some news directly from the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. We had an opportunity to chat with BMW M President Dr. Friedrich Nitschke earlier today at the show and contrary to earlier reports from BMW insider SCOTT26, Dr. Nitschke ruled out M versions of the current X3 or Z4 for the current generation.
When asked about a possible Z4M, Dr. Nitschke said: "In the current generation we won't bring a Z4M, but for the successor we're thinking about it." Dr. Nitschke went on to say in … CONTINUED
The all new 2012 BMW M6 coupe (official info thread) is the star of the BMW display at the 2012 Geneva Motorshow, based on our affinity for the car and how swarmed the car was. It's no wonder given the M6′s hard-to-miss Sakhir Orange color, sculpted carbon fiber roof, and very aggressive bodywork.
And the F13 M6 coupe has got the performance to match its looks. Its 560hp/502 lb-ft torque propels it from 0-62mph in only 4.2 seconds (compared to M6 convertible's 4.3 sec and M5′s 4.4 … CONTINUED
Our live coverage from Geneva 2012 continues. Another world premiere is the F20 125i equipped with the just-launched M Performance Parts. Unlike the old Performance Parts, M Performance parts have been developed with M engineers. Also unlike the old Performance Parts, M Performance exterior parts are designed to complement the M Sport package. The front splitter and lip simply attach to the M Sport front bumper while the rear diffuser simply replaces the rear diffuser of the M Sport package. No whole replacements of bumpers required … CONTINUED

Both vehicles, together with the F11 touring M550d and X5 M50d, will be launched into the market in just a few weeks.

One of the BMWs Hamann has trotted out to showcase at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show is their new M5 F10.
While we can't say that it's an improvement exterior-wise, there's certainly no lack add of aero parts for the Hamman F10 M5 cosmetic program as one can see from the photos below. The suspension is lowered by 30mm on Hamann springs and this M5 sits on Unique Forged II wheels (21×9.5F 21x12R + 265/30 ZR and 325/25 ZR tires).

How is it that millions of N. Koreans have discovered the Notel before slashdot?
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
How is it that millions of N. Koreans have discovered the Notel before slashdot?
Exactly who are these 'authorities'? Where are the 'plans'? Who approved the money for this project and why do the citizens have no say in it? Later the word 'proposals' is used; so is it a plan or a proposal?
This is very poor journalism. Not a single authority is identified. There are references to two critics of the project who have no authority and their opinion doesn't matter. There is no substance to this story at all, no citations, no evidence that it is not just in the reporter's imagination.
& cement is not the same as concrete.
OK, I posted the 'causes' comment and lots of cowards replied or moderated.
I have been there. I've been there with many others in a group situation.I know. The comment just above this is accurate for many- the rest are trash.
Many of my friends who shared this condition with me are long gone and forgotten. They died so long ago that they aren't listed on the internet. They are truly gone. The ones who survived did it by one simple technique: They learned to look outside themselves. They refused to turn inward.
What saved me was the Milky Way. It was still visible when I had my troubles. A vast infinite sea of objects, each little dot far bigger than I could even imagine. And beyond my vision many more. And here I am in a common type of galaxy, a boring solar system, a small blue planet, and I'm one of billions of creatures on that planet. Is my ego so big that I think I'm important? Not when I look at the heavens. I got over myself.
Some people may need drugs or other help initially. I can't speak for everyone, but I have observed many. But I strongly believe this to be true:
To the extent that you think you and your miserable life are important, you will suffer. Get over yourself, participate in the world around you. Join an organization that does good work. Read a book that isn't about sick people (I read every psychology book I could find at first). Exercise and learn tai chi. Help a child who is struggling in school.
And ignore anonymous cowards.
People who consider suicide tend to be self-centered. They have no real interests outside themselves. No hobbies, no close relationships, no physical or intellectual challenges in their lives. They are surrounded by mirrors and every event, every comment they hear, every activity is interpreted as having a personal impact. There is an ego element in the feeling that they are important, but also a tragic sense of personal doom and victimhood. If the president declares war, it is because of something in the individual's personal world. This is common among teens.
It would be reasonable to expect a high proportion of suicidal people to wallow in Facebook. And perhaps appropriate that Fb would take this precaution. Parents should take responsibility, but parents, unlike drivers and hairdressers, don't need a license or any education about care for their offspring. That leaves schools, but they barely have the budget to teach reading and arithmetic.
I'm in the US and I'm wondering if there is any advantage to using outside internet services. With our government intruding on every part of our lives, could this be a protective measure? Some countries seem determined to protect privacy within their jurisdictions.
I have a number of domain names, and have some names I may want. I also have trademark names that are not active yet. I would dearly love to Google these names to check if they are claimed, to know what their history is, to see if I can make them my own.
You can bet that google, bing and yahoo are all alert to a search with no result. You search for a term like 'flipple' and if there are no results alarms go off in the search engine. Some human will look at that term. Does it have any usefulness? Could it be the name of a domain, a business, a device, a service... Could we sell it so someone?
You have exposed your clever word to people who have the means to exploit it while you are twiddling your thumbs. It's gone.
The summary says "Premera Blue Cross has suffered a data breach". But have they suffered? No doubt there will be lawsuits that drag on for years, but how much will this cost them in relation to their overall wealth and income? And how many executives will lose their bonus for the year (of course none will be fired)? Where and how exactly are they suffering? Has any company or executive ever paid a substantial penalty for losing identity data? Perhaps the penalty is having to distribute donations to their congress people who will protect them from prosecution.
It has been suggested that you can not be a member of Congress or other high office unless you have a criminal background.
The theory is that there are certain powers who decide who may enter exalted positions. These 'powers' need to know that you will perform according to their wishes if elected. The way they do that is to have information about you. Information that could destroy you and any public support you may have accumulated. Once this is ascertained, you and they will come to an agreement about how you will behave in office. If you are a good boy or girl, you will be allowed a long political career.
If, OTOH, you are squeaky clean in all your doings
"and nothing can be done to him"
The first thing that a freshman congressperson learns is that if you aren't on an important committee, you are nobody. How do you get on an important committee? You make your party happy. You vote according to their agenda, you show up at the proper events, you bring in donors who contribute to party priorities. Dare to make waves, to contradict any party platform and you will be relegated to obscurity.
Yes, lots can be done to him. He treads a fine line between attracting our favor and losing his party's favor.
Eliminate biased studies and the rest can see the light of day.
'Scientific Studies' today are a creation of a Marketing department in many cases. There is a product to be sold and it needs support and affirmative publicity. A company may do several studies in hope that one or two will be useful in their advertising. The others tend to disappear.
The US government (and other governments and non-profits) conducted studies for many years with the intention of proving that smoking and second hand smoke were dangerous. When the statistical validity of their second hand smoke studies was not sufficient, they simply redefined the term 'statistical significance'. They are the government, after all.
Any study that begins with the premise of proving some theory is flawed. They should clearly state the theory and try every possible means to disprove it. If they can't disprove it, they present their findings to their peers so that they may attempt to disprove it. Failure to disprove the theory over time can lead to general acceptance of it. The scientific method at work. Most studies do it backward.
Big bold letters at the top of every study should reveal who paid for it and the financial interest of every contributor. It's a start, but still subject to corruption.
Yes it's a frightening fact, our language is alive and if we blink we will be left behind. But it's a wonderful thing to see when our eyes are open. English is by far the biggest language and, lamentably, the most difficult for others to learn but that is exactly the reason to learn it. Many concepts in science, technology, engineering, obscenities, medicine etc cannot be adequately expressed in other languages.
English has always stolen from other languages (and the other way too) and it has always been a hodge podge of them all. Even mighty Shakespere took liberties, among them spelling his own name in a variety of ways.
The British Empire and later Hollywood and the internet age have reinforced English as the language of business and entertainment. While language diversity is an interesting thing, and many are struggling to preserve it, English is what you need for most activities.
And how do you pin English down? It's like nailing jelly to the wall- we have many languages loosely referred to as English: Liverpool, Edinburgh, Dallas, Boston, Sydney, N'arleans, Johannesburg, Mumbai, Hong Kong, (sorry, there is no Canadian city with an interesting variation)
No doubt there are some topics best explored in other languages- music, art, religion, anthropology perhaps. But for modern living we got it goin' on!
Now take that to the next step...
When you use the format YYMMDDHHMMSS.nn as I have done for decades, sorting remains easy and you require fewer characters/bytes/keystrokes. Why slash or hyphenate? Use as many digits as necessary but always include at least the year and month so that your meaning is clear. At a glance you can see that you are looking at a date, You won't have any ambiguity in most cases. I have hundreds of files (already in March) labelled with 15 followed by 01, 02 or 03. I don't expect to live until year 2115, so I don't need the 20 to designate this century, but business, government and young people should include that too.
Suppose you could do the impossible; create a generic computer system that is not burdened with patents. It would cost money to come up with the prototype, and then you would have to consider manufacturing it. A system of hardware devoid of protection from competition.
Your investment in manufacturing equipment, location, employees etc will have to result in profits or all is lost. But, having laid some of the groundwork, done some of the initial research, you now face competitors who have the benefit of that expensive research.
The wonderful generic computer is, of course, generic. They are all the same. Any attempt to distinguish your product from another would risk patent wars or compatibility problems. The buyers demand that they be the same. And they will only buy from the lowest bidders.
So the only way for your business to succeed is to find a way to make them at a lower cost. Foreign labor? Inferior parts? Robotic assembly? It will be a cutthroat price competition. You have wasted vast resources of time, labor and money to enter an unwinnable competition.
There are plenty who can afford $10K and that investment may be considered a contribution to Apple research. It will be invested as wisely as Apple is able, to help understand the next step in the evolution of intelligent assistance to a wide variety of user needs: the disabled, the economically disadvantaged, and others who count on Apple to provide the services they need for day-to-day living.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if others were investing in such research?
Wasn't there a Republican Presidential hopeful in the Florida governor's mansion at the time? Is this what we can expect if he gets elected to the White House? None of us will be allowed to say 'climate change'.
Computers will not be perfected until they can compute how much more than the estimate the job will cost.

David Oyelowo!!!!!
So happy to see David Oyelowo (who played Danny in Spooks) now making his mark in Hollywood!! I wonder how much longer his standard bio will contain the line "most well known for his role of Danny in Spooks"… seems he'll be more well known for his movie roles pretty soon if not already!
Ok Richard Armitage fans, here's a little trivia for you…. name another actor with a spectacular beard who can also play the cello…
Clue: He has won two academy awards.
Comment below with your answer!
Winner receives nothing but the kudos of being a huge actor NERD!
First Still from Spooks Movie
Things are now starting to get a little exciting with the release of the first still from the forthcoming Spooks movie. How good does Harry look!! The much awaited film should be hitting cinemas some time in 2015. Even more exciting is that I will also be in London some time in 2015, so hopefully I can time my visit right! If you're hungry for info there is now a Wikipedia page on the Spooks movie and you can also read more at Empire Magazine.
I'm very pleased to announce that the winner of the Richard Armitage / Robin Hood audio book giveaway is… Justyna!! with comment number 7197! Woohoo! Congratulations!! I will be in touch to arrange delivery of your prize soon :)
Thank you to EVERYONE who entered in the competition. It was lovely to read all your comments and have so many entries. Thank you also for the happy anniversary wishes.
Till next time!
– Skully xox
The Spooks Fan Blog turned four years old on Feb 28 of this year so it's time for some fun! On the blog's first birthday I gave away a signed Spooks series 9 boxset. I don't have anything Spooky up for offer this time round but given that fans of Richard Armitage have been very active on this blog over the years, it seems right to have an RA give away to celebrate turning four!
The winner will receive an audio book of the Robin Hood episode 'Sheriff Got Your Tongue?' read by Richard Armitage. The double CD also includes an interview with Richard Armitage, bonus!
Entering this competition is super easy. All you have to do is leave a comment below. You can enter as many times as you like BUT there must be two comments after your comment by other readers before you can enter again. So if you are the first to comment, you have to wait until two other people have commented before you can comment again. Got it? Good! No shenanigans peoples, we can tracks your IPs! Tariq is watching the proceedings, so please play fair. Say whatever you like in the comments, perhaps your favourite Gisborne quotes/lines would be fun!
The lucky winner will be selected using this random number generator. Each comment posted generates its own unique ID number (this post for example is #853). These numbers are generated automatically by the blogging platform so you can't choose your own ID number. If you post a number in your comment it will be ignored.
THE COMPETITION CLOSES on Wednesday, April 9th at 1:00 PM GMT and is open to everyone anywhere in the world!
Waiting for Spooks
Hello Spooks fans! I hope you are all well! I thought I'd do a quick post to say g'day while we're biding our time until the Spooks movie madness begins. I don't know about you but I can't wait to see what adventures Harry gets drawn into! I must say that I feel a little guilty that I've not been able to keep up with all of the wonderful blogs by readers of this 'ere one. I seem to have dipped out of the blogging world for a while. I am keeping very busy running my business, learning German, and scrimping and saving my pennies for (hopefully) an extended trip to Vienna in the next year or so (maybe my next post will be auf Deutsch?).
During the Spooks downtime I've been in the habit of sharing other shows that have occupied my TV screen. I'm afraid most of the current big TV series hits have passed me by but I know many of you are enjoying them immensely. Lately I've been on a Tarantino spree – I finally saw Django and was reminded of how much I adore the great Christoph Waltz. I know that many of you worship the beard of Richard Armitage – but did you know that there is a video by a "beard expert" showing you how to replicate the beard that Waltz sported as Dr. Schulz in Django?… I'm not sure Armitage can lay claim to such equal levels of beard worship… yet!
So, off the back of a Tarantino kick I'm on a bit of a Waltz kick at the moment. Had his stint working in the UK extended a few years further, he may have gotten a gig in Spooks.. but alas… a bit in The All New Alexei Sayle Show (1995) will have to do for this post:
While learning Deutsch I have been watching some German language TV and film. I've been annoyed somewhat by some fellow German learners advising me that I should not watch Austrian productions because the German dialects in Austria are different.. inferring that German German is the only true German one should learn. Bollocks to that! Here's a classic Austrian film from 1981 starring (a very young and super handsome!) Christoph Waltz, Kopfstand.
Kopfstand (1981) (Part 1) from ChristophWaltzFan ~ aka ~ Maggy on Vimeo.
An impressive 3-part series out of Germany "Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter", was recently aired in Australia, about five friends caught up in the events of WWII. Not entirely satisfying in its dealing with certain issues of that era, but overall, it looks amazing and is pretty darn compelling television. Great performances, too – a must see! Its English title is Generation War. Here's the U.S. trailer (with annoying U.S. voice over to boot):
Shortly I'll be heading off to catch some flicks in the German Film Festival which is about to start in some cities in Australia. There is a whole world of television and cinema beyond that spoken in English. If you love drama, why limit your viewing experiences to just one language? Get out there, people!

Johnson: Dismal Obama gives reason for dismay
Liberals love science. "We will restore science to its rightful place and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its costs," President Barack Obama said in his inaugural address. "We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories."
Obama's opaque oratory sainted stem-cell research and sanctified the left's scientific shibboleth, global warming. While some say the science of stem cells and global warming is speculative — even specious — Obama has yet to embrace a well-proven branch of science. In fact, the president shows downright disregard for the dismal science, more commonly known as "economics."
Ignoring the unquestionable reality of a global economy, Democrats have displayed stunning naiveté about the unmitigated disaster protectionism could be during an economic downturn. Obama blasted the North American Free Trade Agreement during his campaign, witlessly agitating Canada, America's largest supplier of oil. Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives inserted a "Buy American" clause in their economic stimulus plan.
Obama said during his campaign he would raise the capital gains tax rate. Informed of the economic reality that raising capital gains rates reduces revenues and stymies the flow of capital because investors tend to hold investments instead of selling them, Obama said he would raise the tax rate as a matter of fairness. Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi continues to push for a rollback of President George W. Bush's tax cuts.
Most practitioners of the dismal science point to protectionism and higher taxes as two of the primary policy blunders by President Herbert Hoover in the late 1920s and early 1930s that contributed to — or possibly caused — the Great Depression. But populist protectionism and soak-the-rich class warfare stir liberal souls.
Last week, Obama hit the hustings to sell the Democrat-designed American Reinvestment and Recovery Act. As he played on the economic fears of the people, he completely ignored the Congressional Budget Office analysis that shows his plan providing some stimulus sometime over the next two years but actually impeding economic growth in the long term.
Tennessee's senators exhibited economic understanding and voted against the bill. Sen. Lamar Alexander called it what it really is. "This bill is a colossal mistake," Alexander said. "This is still mostly a spending bill, not a stimulus bill." Sen. Bob Corker said, "I am disappointed that we have chosen to spend nearly $1 trillion and still have not solved the issues that created this economic crisis — credit and housing." But the Obama-Pelosi plan does address global warming and stem-cell research.
Obama warned last week that, if his stimulus plan didn't pass, "Our nation will sink into a crisis that at some point we may be unable to reverse." Of course America weathered the terrorist attacks of 9/11 while the nation was in a recession after the tech bubble burst in 2000. The United States survived the Arab oil embargo of the mid-1970s, the hyper-inflation of the late 1970s and early 1980s, the savings and loan collapse in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Cold War, two world wars and the Civil War. And, lest we forget, America made it through the Great Depression.
Maybe it's because he doesn't get the science part of economics that Obama sounds so dismal. Gone is the guy ridiculously compared to Franklin D. Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. Obama displays none of their optimism — and belief in the American people — in the midst of difficult times. Increasingly, the only thing America has to fear is that Obama will keep channeling Jimmy Carter.
