SMS Backup & Restore
The backup is created locally on the phone by default unless you configure it to upload to Email, Google Drive or Dropbox. You are responsible for backup files and the files are not sent to the developer in any case.
On Android 4.4+ devices, if you have performed the Restore and the messages don't appear in your messaging app then:
- Open your messaging app and Disable SMS from Settings.
- Exit the app
- Open the app again and Enable SMS from Settings.
- Backup SMS Messages in XML format.
- Backup created locally on the device with options to automatically upload to Email, Google Drive or DropBox using the Add-On app.
- Choose a scheduled time to automatically backup.
- Backup format is independent of the Android version so the messages can be easily moved from one phone to another, irrespective of the Android version.
- Option to select which conversations to backup.
- View/Restore all Messages or only selected conversations.
- Delete all SMS Messages on the Phone.
- Email a backup file.
- The XML can then be converted to other formats, and can also be viewed on a computer.
- Tested on Android v1.5 to v5.0
This app is ad-supported and requires the Internet permissions to display the Ads.
If you do not want ads the they can be disabled from preferences or you can buy the paid version from the Market.
On newer phones with inbuilt storage the default backup location will probably be the internal storage card and not the external.
This is because the phone reports the storage that way.
If you intend to do a factory reset on the phone, please make sure you save/email a copy of the backup outside the phone before doing it.
Lots more info at http://android.riteshsahu.com/apps/sms-backup-restore
FAQs can be found at http://bit.ly/d9t7Jk
Please start the app at least once after updates so that the scheduled backups start working.
This App needs access to the following:
* Your messages: Backup and Restore messages. Receive SMS permission needed to properly handle messages received while the app is the default messaging app on Android 4.4+ devices.
* Storage: To create the Backup file on the SD card.
* Phone calls - Without this the Restore fails on some phones.
* Network communication: For displaying Advertisements.
* Your social information: To display and store the contact names in the Backup file.
* Run at start-up: Start scheduled Backups.
* View Network Connections: So that the app does not try to load Ads when there is no connection.
* Control Vibration: To vibrate the phone when an operation is completed.
* Prevent Phone from Sleeping: To prevent the phone from going to sleep/suspended state while a Backup or Restore operation is in progress.
* Test access to Protected Storage: To create the Backup file on the SD card.

Ghostly SMS
This app listens for incoming SMSs, saves them as fast as it can in an internal database (not the INBOX) and shows a notification.
If you see a "ghostly notification" from this app, but not from the stock SMS/MMS app (check screenshot #2), you can open the app, read your lost message and -if you wish- you can move it to your INBOX to store it or reply to it.
If you don't want to move it to the INBOX or if the stock SMS/MMS app didn't lose the message (check screenshot #1 and... good for you, by the way!), you can safely delete it from the internal database: no message from the INBOX is EVER deleted.

If this app helps you recover a precious message you would have hated to lose, consider a small donation as a token of appreciation ;-)

Hypnos Label Releases / Re: CD release: Sans Serif - Tones for LaMonte« on: August 06, 2008, 10:52:23 PM »
Dave and John - Many thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it.
This section allows you to view all posts made by this member. Note that you can only see posts made in areas you currently have access to.
Hello Ekstasis. Have you worked with analog synths before? If not, I think you might find analog synths or software analog synth emulators like the Arturia Moog more transparent in showing you how electronic sound is created. From there, I would add in effects such as echo and reverb, but too many effects at the outset may make difficult to troubleshoot what you are hearing in case you want to modify it. Those presets you are describing probably have quite a few effects attached to them.
Hello, I have worked only with digital synths before, I am going to try Zero-G Phaedra Ultimate Analog synth during this week, we will see if I like it.
About the Arturia Moog, I did check it on the website the "Analog Factory Experience" software/hardware combo, I did like the interface a lot, but the actual sounds is not something I like, they sound very old school 70s sounds, this is not at all the sounds I want.
Harvey Milk are the shit.
The ambient practitioners are taking Western music back into the awareness of pure sound in the moment, kind of like a zen ideal, or a general awareness of music taken out of linear thinking modes.
I've been listening to a lot of drone music lately (Alan Lockett deserves some of the credit/blame for that:))
I guess you may be hinting also, from your perspective as a listener, that for every Behind Your Very Eyes or Chroma to immerse yourself in, there's been a Moraines, or a Mas Memorias Extranjeras to end up being um... enmired in ;-)

BY Joe Swickard and Chris Christoff
Detroit Free Press
DETROIT — Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy wants an independent investigation into what she says may be thousands of kits holding evidence of possible sexual assaults that were found in a Detroit Police Department evidence storage facility.
In a Sept. 8 letter to Police Chief Warren Evans, Worthy said there may be more than 10,000 so-called rape kits and hundreds of other pieces of evidence warehoused, unanalyzed, in a police "overflow property room." The situation raises fears that cases could be affected if the evidence is challenged in court, Worthy said.

Doctors deliver dead fetus from released inmate
NAPLES - It was a girl.
Doctors removed the dead fetus from Joan Laurel Small on Thursday, a day after her release from the Collier County jail.
The 22-year-old mother cradled baby "Elena Laurel." Nurses cut a lock of the baby's hair for a keepsake.
"They cleaned her up and allowed her to hold her," said Small's mother, Jennifer Graeber of New Jersey. "The hospital is making her a little remembrance book. They're putting in a lock of the baby's hair."
Graeber said when her daughter arrived at The Birth Place at NCH North Naples Hospital, her blood-pressure had risen and she had a fever.
"That's the beginning signs of septic shock," Graeber said of leaving a dead fetus inside a mother.
Because the baby had been left in her womb more than a day, she said, Small could not deliver the baby, but had to undergo a C-section.
Small, a Bonita Springs woman who is recovering at the hospital, could not be reached for comment. Her boyfriend and the baby's father, Elias Guzman, 24, also could not be reached Thursday.
Graeber said her daughter is very depressed and probably will cremate the baby after an autopsy is conducted.
Small, who was housed in the jail's medical unit, learned her baby was dead Tuesday morning as she underwent an ultrasound to determine the baby's sex and to schedule delivery after her Feb. 19 release from jail.
Small, whose 40-week due date was Feb. 21, has said she'd complained about a heavy discharge, which continued for 1 1/2 weeks, but was told it was normal and to monitor it. She told the Daily News the doctor who conducted the ultrasound Tuesday morning told her all her amniotic fluid had leaked out, the baby's skull collapsed and it had no heartbeat.
A day later, after she remained in jail with the dead fetus inside her, Small's public defender, Amy Shirvanipour, spoke to Assistant State Attorney Rob Denny, who agreed to a stipulation to modify her sentence to time-served and immediate release. They went to Circuit Judge Fred Hardt, who immediately signed the stipulation.
Three hours later, Shirvanipour was still waiting to take her to a hospital and then learned a deputy would take her. She was released at 3:10 p.m. and Shirvanipour met her at the hospital.
When told of Small's account, a nationally known medical expert said the death could have been avoided if Small had been taken to a hospital immediately after complaining of the discharge. Dr. Gary Helmbrecht, a member of the The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, called it a case of medical neglect and said the symptoms indicated a pre-term rupture of membranes that required immediate hospitalization.
Small said she'd also requested a RhoGAM shot, which protects her baby from her RH negative blood, but wasn't given one until Tuesday. The shot is recommended between 28 and 30 weeks and she was jailed on her 30th week.
She'd been held since Dec. 22 after she violated probation by returning home after her nightly 10 p.m. curfew. Small said she'd been attending a parenting class in Naples and couldn't get a ride home; she has no car. Records show the probation violation involved a 2007 drug charge; an adjudication of guilt was withheld. It's her only criminal conviction and records show it occurred when she was caught with drugs in the car of her former husband, Ken Enright Small, during a traffic stop; his record includes drug convictions.
Graeber, who said her daughter plans to sue, has contacted local attorneys about the case.
"I feel they were negligent in not taking her to the emergency room when she asked for help and was leaking amniotic fluid," Graeber said, adding that she hoped a lawsuit would improve care at the jail and help her daughter move on.
Chief Scott Salley, who oversees the jail, said Tennessee-based Prison Health Services, which operates the medical unit, was reviewing what occurred, but said initial reviews show medical and administrative policies were followed.
Sheriff's Office officials say they cannot discuss details of Small's case due to HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, which prohibits release of medical information without a signed waiver from Small.
Prison Health Services spokeswoman Martha Harbin said her company conducts a full internal medical review after any "sentinel event," an unexpected occurrence involving death or serious physical or psychological injury — or the risk of one and that was occurring in Small's case.
"We offer our sincere condolences to the family," Harbin said. "The loss of a pregnancy is a tragedy. It's a horrible thing for anyone to go through."
"... Like any other patient of any other medical provider, Ms. Small deserves the right to privacy with regard to her medical care," she said of HIPAA. "That right has not been waived by Ms. Small and cannot be waived by media reports, so Prison Health Services cannot comment even though there are significant inaccuracies in what has been reported."
Small has told the Daily News her complaints were documented by medical care providers at the jail and she'd also called her mother and boyfriend about the problems.

Learn what it takes to design and create your own custom silver-age superhero. Join Deke as he starts by tracing a photo to create the hero's body and then jumps into Illustrator for the creation of the final effects. Finally, Deke takes us through the steps to lay out our own custom type to complete the comic.
In this movie, we're going to further smooth out the form of this figure, and get rid of some of the wrinkles in the fabric, as well as this fellow's ears in order to create this effect here. And, we're going to do so using a second pass of liquify. Now, you might reasonable say, well gosh Deke, is this the best approach? Because, after all, we could just paint away these ears using something like a layer mask. But, I also want to paint in more of a jaw line, as we're seeing here.
And, I want to give you a sense for just how far you can go with liquefy. You can do basically anything, especially if you're working with a silhouette like this. You have tons and tons of freedom. And, the great thing about liquify in Photoshop CC, is that you can apply it as a dynamic effect. And, then go back and modify your mesh later on as much as you like. I'm going to switch over to my image so far, and as you can see, it is a smart object. So, you're going to need to subscribe to the creative cloud in order to pull off this next step dynamically.
In which case, go up to the filter menu, and then choose the liquify command. I'm going to go ahead and zoom in. Now, I made a lot of modifications to the rumples in the fabric using the warp tool. So, for example, I might press the right bracket key a few times in order to expand the size of my brush. And, then go ahead and paint these areas out, and then reduce the size of my brush and paint this in. So, a lot of fine tuning that needs to go on here, and I also went ahead and moved this shoulder line out. And, I moved this sort of love handle in here. But, I'm more concerned, frankly, with the shape of the toes. For example, notice that they are awfully rumply at this point. And so, it's not really difficult to make the outside edges smoother just by working back and forth with differently sized brushes, as you see me doing here. It's the inside edges that are tough. And so, what you have to do, is work with the very small brush in order to move this edge outward, for example. And, then if you want to separate these guys from each other just a little bit, you're going to have to work with a very small brush indeed. Or, you can try something like the bloat tool, and then what you'd want to do, is reduce the size of the cursor quite a bit. And, let's see how small I need to take this. You need to drag up the middle, like so. But, as you can see here, if you don't do it right, you're going to get some pretty awful results. Which is why, I'll go ahead and reduce the size of my cursor even more. And, I'll just click right there, and shift + click up there, in order to move the feet a little bit apart. And, I'll try it again. So, notice that I'm clicking in the transparent areas. Click there, and shift + click down here, for example, to move things even farther apart. That goes a little bit too far, though, which is why, even though, it's a lot of work, I ended up doing everything using just the old work tool here. And also, that way you don't get such soft edges as you're seeing, resulting from the blow tool. We'll go ahead and zoom out. So, just a lot of little work that you have to do in order to pull this off. And, then if you want to make the toes dip down a little more, then you can increase the size of your cursor and just drag down on those toes, like so. And, again, you can use the scroll bar down here at the bottom of the screen to test that those toes are in alignment with each other. All right, now, I'm going to go up to that collar, and I'm just spacebar dragging over and over again until I can see these little collar edges. I don't want the to be here, so I'll reduce the size of my cursor by pressing the left bracket key. And, then I'll drag down into these regions with, once again, the warp tool. And, I'll go ahead and drag this up, and I want to keep that nice sort of round contouring. And, I have to work on this a little bit. This does require a fair amount of work to pull this off. The great thing is that you can do it. And, the results can be quite spectacular. Now, the ear is a totally different issue. First of all, I want to take the jaw line out. So, I'm going to drag the jaw out. Basically, to manufacture a jaw that's not really showing up very well there. And, then I'm going to zoom in on that ear, and I might make my cursor smaller by pressing the left bracket key and drag out on that jaw some more, because I want it to be pretty squarish. And now, I'll increase the size of my brush and drag in on the ear. Now at first, the results are going to look just awful. And, what you're going to have to do, is kind of work back and forth once again with differently sized cursors in order to create a smooth edge, as you're seeing right here. Now, the toughest spot, quite frankly, is at the bottom of the ear. Notice that it's still not looking right, even if the other areas are looking better. If not totally right, of course, still need to make some adjustments, but watch this. I'll go ahead and zoom in. Sometimes, these tools that you never use inside liquefy, can come in handy, such as the twirl tool, but I'm not seeing the twirl tool of course. And, that's because I need to turn on the advance mode check box. So, I'll go ahead and turn it on, and then suddenly I have this tool that reads twirl clockwise. So, I'll go ahead and select it, and I'll reduce the size of my cursor a little bit. And, then I'll click and hold, and notice that I'm twirling the edge in the wrong direction. So, I'll press Ctrl + Z, or Cmd + Z on the Mac to undo that. And, if you want to twirl the other way counter-clockwise, you press and hold the Alt key, or the option key on a Mac and click. And, notice now, I'm twirling that guy into a better place, like so. And, now I'm going to switch back to my warp tool. And, I'll reduce the size of my cursor and drag this edge in, and drag this one out, in order to create a smoother effect, like so. Again, just going to take a lot of back and forthing to get that worked out properly. Or, if you're working along with me, and you have access to my exercise files, you can click on the load mesh button at this point. And, then you can select this file, secondadjustment.msh, and click on the open button. I'm going to deactivate that button by turning off the Advance Mode check box. Not an issue on the Mac. I'll spacebar drag upward here, and you can see that everything's reconciling very nicely. But, if you're seeing a problem, especially with the feet, if the feet aren't working out properly with the settings you just loaded with my settings, that's because your puppet warp was a little different.
You set your pins a little differently than I did, in which case, you're just going to have to make some manual modifications on your own. After which point, I invite you to click the OK button in order to apply those changes. And, now I'll just zoom out enough, so that I can see the entire figure right here. And, just for the sake of comparison, I'll press Ctrl + Z, or Cmd + Z on the Mac in order to undo the liquefy. So, this is the lumpier version of the guy with ears.
A little bit of lumpy action on the top of his head. We can see sort of the color of that shirt he was wearing, and some other fabric details as well. And, then if I press Control+Z or Command+Z on the Mac, to reapply liquefy, you can see that we have a much smoother form. At this distance, at 12.5%, the zoom level right here, it appears that we have a little bit of a weird edge on his arm. But, if I zoom in a little bit, you can see that, that edge disappears, and that tells you that it's just a function of Photoshop screen redraw.
And, then the final thing I'm going to do just a little bit of housekeeping. I'm going to right-click on this filter mask right there, and I'm going to choose Delete Filter Mask in order to get rid of it, and that'll give me some more room to work inside my layers panel. And, incidentally, just in case you really want to work along with me, because this proves confusing for folks sometimes, I have my thumbnails set to medium thumbnails, so I can better see what I'm doing. And, you can do that, as well, by right clicking in an empty portion of the layers panel down below the layers, at which point you would then choose medium thumbnails, in order to change their size.
And, that friends, in molecular detail, is how you go about smoothing a human form that's set on an independent layer using the liquify filter here inside Photoshop.

by tk173, Window Shopper
- Created: December 17, 2011, 6:55 pm
Hello All,I was just curious as to what constitutes gambling online? Would it be considered gambling if a website lets users buy "credits" that can be used to purchase prizes (TVs, hats, toys)?No money would be exchanged from user-to-user.I apologize if a similar questions has been asked in the past; I checked the search fields but did not come up with anything.Thanks in advance for any help!

Please see the article above regarding a survey for the North American Research Committee on Multiple Sclerosis (NARCOMS). NARCOMS is a global registry for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) research, treatment, and patient education. Their research program allows people with MS to expedite the research by volunteering information about one's own experiences with MS.
There has been a good response to this survey, and consequently Dorothyanne has had to order more paper copies. If you would like a paper copy mailed to your home, here it is link through which you can directly request a form: http://www.narcoms.org/paperformrequest.

I didn't have a percolator, so I just simmered everything, except the rum, on top of the stove for about 30 minutes. The candies melted and were mixed in, and I strained the liquid before adding the rum and serving. It just took a little sugar to get the taste just right. Very yummy!

Michigan lawmakers push through an anti-democratic new abortion restriction, while the Senate actually gets some work done.
This Week in Sex: Meningitis Outbreak Update, Viagra Cures Menstrual Cramps, and a Male Birth Control Pill
This week, an update on meningitis outbreaks at Princeton and the University of California, Santa Barbara; new research suggests that the little blue pill for men may be able to stop menstrual cramps in women; and after making mice infertile, researchers in Australia think they may have the key to a male birth control pill.
A new lawsuit claims Catholic-owned hospitals are negligent in treating pregnant people, while the Roberts Court takes up two challenges to the contraception mandate in the health-care reform law.

This Week in Sex: Meningitis at Princeton, the Cheneys' Public Dispute, and Herpes on a Library Book
This week, Princeton University deals with an outbreak of meningitis, former VP Dick Cheney makes a public statement as his daughters disagree publicly over the legalization of same-sex marriage, and a scientist finds herpes on a library copy of Fifty Shades of Grey.

This week, a new study finds many young women who experienced an unintended pregnancy thought it couldn't happen to them, a home STD test might provide false reassurance, and Mr. Balls reminds us about testicular cancer.
It looks like the Roberts Court may take up the Hobby Lobby contraception challenge, while other federal appellate courts refuse to buy the argument that corporations can exercise religious beliefs.

Canucks Focus On Work Ethic & Preparation

from the Vancouver Province,
"I don't know what the expectations are," said Vigneault. "I know our expectation is we want more and we want more success. We're going to demand more from each other. We're raising our own expectations."
Vigneault then paused, his eyes grew wider and he became visibly animated.
"Our first step is making it to the dance. But making it isn't as easy as saying we had success last season. It's a big challenge. The teams that made the final two years ago [Carolina and Edmonton] didn't make the playoffs last year. You have to respect that process. It's our job to make sure the players don't get caught looking ahead.
"We know about the challenge. We're going to hit it head on with our work ethic and our preparation. We're confident if we do it the right way we'll get in the playoffs and then we'll see what happens. And that has nothing to do with outside expectations."

Mister Obama may think the NRA is repugnant and cowardly, but please notice he didn't call them inaccurate. I support the NRA's call to protect all our school children, and not just the White House children, so strongly that I plan on becoming a paying memeber of the NRA. Where do I sign up?

I've had guns all my life, so have my family members, and so have the whole town that I grew up in - in fact, there were multiple guns per person - and not once has anyone felt the need to join the NRA, as far as I know. Hardly anyone even owned a hand gun. And unless someone were to sleep with their gun under their pillow, I doubt it would do them much good in the heat of the moment, even if they had one.
This whole issue is a cultural issue in the United States. This kind of thing doesn't usually happen in other countries because those other countries' people don't look at guns the same way. There's a reason why my hometown has never had shooting-related incidents, and that is because a firearm is used for hunting, period. No one ever felt the need to go buy an AK-47 for recreation or otherwise.

Funny how the left has no problem with Obama using other's children to
promote his political views and actions,
like having children at signings of bills and executive orders,
how hypocritical!
Not one is challenging the need to protect the first family.
However, are the people's children not as worthy of a similar kind of protection?
Is armed protection only for the elite?

The Truth: I wouldn't call Obama and his family "elite." I would call it prudence. I can honestly say that while sometimes fleetingly I get a twinge about the safety of my kids at schoola and hope nothing ever happens, I really don't get that worked up over it, and don't want their environment to become a place where armed guards are patrolling the place. And just as the recent school shooting has brought out the subject of banning certain weapons, so has it brought out those saying we need armed guards at school. I have never heard that call before, yet now it seems to be a pressing issue.

Targeting customers through social media has become more and more prolific over recent years. Household brands through to much smaller start-up companies are using tools such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube.
However, it is vital that when selecting the social media tools you intend to use to target your audience, you are selected the correct ones. For example, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn users all have very different demographic profiles, so there is no point using a tool like Facebook to reach a target audience of professionals aged 40+, when statistics show that around over 80 per cent of UK Facebook users are under 40.
Once you've decided which social media tool or tools you are going to use, decide how you're going to approach it carefully. What are you saying and to whom?
There have been numerous examples of major brands attempting to conduct social media campaigns or stunts, which have badly backfired and resulted in a consumer backlash, and ridicule aplenty.
No brand can afford that kind of damage, no matter how large or small.
Always have the consumer at the centre of any social media activity, and think as they would. Add value for your consumer, and always think of how they will gain from your activity. For example, a Facebook page that offers discounts and information about your product or service is innovative and is likely to increase brand awareness virally.
Be different and try to make sure that your social media campaign is one that will get people talking and one they will remember. No matter how simple.
And last, but by no means least, encourage your consumers to engage with you through social media activity. Simply talking at them by posting regular updates sends out the wrong message entirely.
Social media is all about engagement and interaction, and is not a passive process.
If you can actively encourage consumers to get involved in these campaigns, for example by posting suggestions for new products ideas as part of a competition, they will feel that they have some ownership of the brand, and this is vital.
Consumers engaging with each other through social media and sharing brand opinion has a favourable reaction, not only because these consumers feel they have ownership of the process, but also because they are more likely to relate to others' opinions about the brand as they seem more 'real' than direct marketing messages.
Finally, don't forget that many mobile phones today have powerful interactivity and will be linked to platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. You can take advantage of this by developing a downloadable application, which can be done on a relatively low budget and connects you directly with your consumer. Just remember that an app needs to add value for your consumer. That way it will make their life easier and cement their relationship with your brand.

I attend all sorts of events, personally and professionally. Inevitably I am asked what it is I do. I mention that I help individuals and businesses ensure their employees are aware of, and know how to apply current legislation when planning and managing an event.
The majority response is "Oh, you mean health and safety. Don't you think it's gone too far!" Often this statement is presented with an eyeball roll and a loud tut!
As my first blog with Marketing Donut, I thought I would take the opportunity to answer that question here.
The laws affecting events are not just health and safety. Clearly, that subject matter is the most high profile, followed closely by data protection but it also includes copyright, licensing, working time regulations and so on.
So, has legislation gone too far?
I have been working in events since the eighties. I have witnessed incidents and accidents (mainly) during set-up and break-down that should have been avoidable. It is only because of the response of emergency services that I was not witness to a young man dying. And that image has stayed with me for more than 20 years.
I know of at least six serious vehicle crashes that were probably caused by tired drivers who had been working all day and were then required to drive hundreds of miles to get home. And I know someone who got run over by a portable toilet on a show site!
I have witnessed delegate lists, including passport details, being thrown into a bin. And have seen copyright laws broken again and again.
I also know that in the nineties insurers were setting aside huge sums for injuries to event visitors. Around £5,000 if someone tripped and bruised their rear, between £15,000 and £25,000 for a knock to the head and up to £250,000 for a serious limb break. Insurance premiums went sky-high for the whole industry. Thankfully, the insurers started fighting back so the payouts now are more realistic.
So what has legislation made happen that was not being done before? For those that run their business without applying the laws, it has done nothing. These individuals assume the responsibility belongs to another person. They clearly do not believe anything untoward will ever happen, and if it did it wouldn't be their fault.
If you are a business owner, don't just purchase a folder full of policies and file it away. Get hold of the information and work out how it can benefit you and your business. Ensure all of your employees understand and embrace it too.
And what if you don't? Keep your fingers crossed. Carry your lucky rabbits foot. Hunt around for that four leaf clover. And hope that you, your employees, your suppliers, your clients or members of the public don't have an accident at your event.
Testing, testing, testing. It's a word that every skilled email marketer knows well. The data available to email marketers means that, if used properly, campaigns can be honed and updated in real-time in order to deliver the best results.
So what are the components that can and should be tested in an email marketing campaign?
Here are the key ones to consider:
Every company's audience or recipients will have different preferences or behaviours, therefore testing and segmentation really is the only way to find out what will work best for your business.
If you missed last week's, catch up here and below you will find the highlights of episode eight.
Quote of the Episode: "I have a horrible feeling that you don't know how to make a profit." Deborah Meaden
Idea 1
Product: Abiie Buggy (My Babiie Ltd) – buggy with an incorporated changing table.
Investment sought: £100,000 for 10 per cent equity
Handling: Straightforward pitch, stuck to the basic facts. Adam is clearly ambitious, and confident when answering questions about his turnover. Says he owns the company but when questioned it is revealed that Ken, who he works with in the USA, owns the designs and has worldwide distribution rights while Adam has UK rights on a three-year contract providing he meets sales targets. The Dragons aren't impressed by this. Before declaring himself out, Peter Jones sums it up by saying: "I don't believe in you".
Outcome: No investment.
Verdict: A promising start but things got more and more confusing after the questioning started.
Idea 2
Product: GaBoom – online user-to-user video game exchange.
Investment sought: £60,000 for 11 per cent equity
Handling: Confident, calm, well-rehearsed pitch. She handles questioning well and with a smile. Claims her website provides faster exact search results than any other website, which Duncan points out is because it's the only site of its type! Peter Jones highlights a flaw in her business: physically handling every game will be very costly, especially as the business expands. The Dragons think she's a very promising entrepreneur and are confident she'll have a successful future.
Outcome: No investment but a potential job offer from Peter Jones.
Verdict: A confident pitch and a promising young entrepreneuer.
Idea 3
Product: Media Displays – mobile advertising unit.
Investment sought: £80,000 for 25 per cent equity
Handling: Strong, polished presentation. Theo Paphitis encourages him to be honest about working from his home office and employing his son. Answers questions clearly and confidently until he shares a heated exchange with Deborah Meaden about whether the business is profitable. Theo points out that his business model as it stands doesn't work and declares himself out. James Caan isn't sure about the business but likes Ian Tayor, the entrepreneur, and believes that he could make it work so makes him an offer.
Outcome: £80,000 for 45 per cent of the business (this amount will drop if certain targets are met).
Verdict: A good result after some tricky questioning from the other Dragons.

Where there's a great experience then there's probably great care.
Just been to Dans le Noir - a truly remarkable restaurant in London (and Paris).
What makes it so special and worthy of mention?
Just think about it.
The whole concept challenges how you 'see' flavours and textures and how you relate to your food. It is mind-blowing. You have to go. It is like no other restaurant. And the "blinded guides" have to care for you while you are totally outside your comfort zone.
The experience is wild and challenging. Spending a couple of hours without any sight makes you re-evaluate your fortune at being sighted, think about what it must be like to be blind, and messes with your palate. You have little idea what you are eating. Crazy. The experience lingers for days.
My point. Dans le Noir is a true experience. You don't forget it. You tell everyone about it. Remarkable. A business. And it increases public awareness about blindness.
If only more businesses could offer a true experience.
This is part three of a series of three. Catch up on part one and part two.
In the case of my business, that means looking after my staff well, sourcing our consumables responsibly, ensuring that the print we sell is environmentally friendly and putting something back into the community with our Flourish Foundation. If I'm honest, this is at the heart of me, which is why it's come through in my business. I haven't yet put together a "green mission statement", and I probably should. I know that one of the reasons that our clients come to us is for our authenticity and values – but do I need a mission statement to get that across?
The short answer is probably not. Everything about the way we've built Flourish communicates these values, partly because we fall into the Autumnal colour personality, which is the most "green" of the lot. All of our print is recycled and uncoated and our muted, warm colours suggest sustainability, community and integrity. But marketing your green credentials takes more than a bit of fancy design and an understanding of colour psychology.
It's about making sure that your communication is consistent. Follow us on twitter and you'll find the very same person that you meet in the studio, warm, supportive and with integrity. Read our blog and you'll find the same transparency and "giving" nature as you find in our workshops and one to one sessions. I guess I don't scream green because green is inextricably linked with what we do. How about you?

Don't let common misconceptions about freely distributed software derail your IT strategies
Fervor over formats cools for now
Air Force opens up to non-proprietary software
Big vendors give open source added clout
As agencies turn to open-source software, some struggle with whether to treat it the same way they do commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products. The confusion comes from customary definitions that identity COTS as code developed and supported by a single vendor.In that respect open source is not COTS, said Andy Stein, director of information technology for Newport News, Va.The distinction is important because traditional procurement practices that use requests for proposals to start the process make it difficult for agencies to acquire open-source solutions, even if they offer attractive alternatives to commercial packages, Stein said.The typical RFP process caters to the traditional COTS vendors, which have a marketing organization to respond to bids, Stein said. Open source does not operate that way.To eliminate confusion in his service, Navy Chief Information Officer Robert Carey circulated a letter last summer stating that misconceptions about open-source software hinder the services ability to realize the benefits of the technology and prevent it from receiving equal consideration during the software acquisition process.We were treating it with kid gloves, Carey said in an interview. Instead, he asked the Navy to treat open source as COTS when it conforms to the spirit of the Navys definition of commercial software. For example, even though open source isnt commercial, it must be copyrighted and licensed under an agreement that separates it from freeware and public-domain software, according to Navy rules.The Defense Department isnt the only organization struggling with that dilemma. The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is working to make open-source software competitive in procurement processes.Open-source software typically falls in the states special category for products costing less than $5,000, for which agencies dont need to ask for bids before acquiring the software.However, ODOT CIO Ben Berry said the RFP process is biased in favor of software companies with staff members available to respond to the requests.Open-source entities are not out looking for RFPs, Berry said. There is a disadvantage to CIOs who may want to use open source, but they cant get open-source entities to apply to these RFPs. The best thing we could do is make an even playing field where we dont discriminate between the two sets of code.Help in overcoming that bias often comes from systems integrators that respond to RFPs and use open source in their solutions, Berry said.But thats only a recent development, Berry said. I also want to make sure that our RFPs dont have language in them that asks, How many instances have you deployed this software with X number of like agencies? That sets up [open source] for failure because its still pretty new.

No contest?
Dean Ryan fears for England when they host Wales in the Six Nations clash at Twickenham.
Last Updated: 22/02/12 10:32am
England return to the comforts of Twickenham this weekend after two valuable wins on the road in Edinburgh and Rome, but there is much to fear from the visiting Welsh seeking an early Triple Crown.
It is hard to see where Stuart Lancaster's men will be able to obtain parity and they will have to rely heavily on a vocal Twickenham crowd, their obvious togetherness and Welsh history of stumbling at Twickenham.
Close up analysis illustrates the key areas of concern.
Scrums: This is an area where England have excelled with Alex Corbishiero coming of age with his performance in Rome; they will want to set up a stable platform. Wales have two experienced Lions at their disposal in Gethin Jenkins and Adam Jones - who are both masters in front row dark arts.
Verdict: Expect England to have the edge in the push but the experienced Welsh duo have the edge in the when and how.
Line-outs: Both sides have had their issues with Wales deprived of both Alun Wyn-Jones and Bradley Davies in their early games. Ian Evans and Ryan Jones made a good fist of the basics but were left wanting when asked to find some of the subtleties of unlocking the Jim Hamilton Richie Gray defensive combination.
England have similar issues with Tom Palmer struggling to get the first 40 minutes under control. Seemingly deprived of the option to increase tempo - always a useful line-out weapon - he has struggled to find the early openings.
Verdict: Expect the return of Wyn-Jones to create some much needed stability and take away England's opportunity to cause problems here. I wouldn't be surprised to see Geoff Parling start for England; he's a much more all-rounded line-out man well-schooled at Leicester. Contrary to popular opinion this will make it almost impossible to see the return of Courtney Lawes to the bench as the possibility of both Lawes and Mauritz Botha ending up in the row together leaves England with no caller.
If Parling starts it should be a great head-to-head between him and Wyn-Jones!
Back Row: The key battleground in any game and I'm sorry but England can't hold a torch to this outstanding Welsh trio. Much is made of combinations, in striking the right balance in the makeup of your breakaways and Wales have it spot on. Dan Lydiate is the workhorse, the silent man at six, who goes about making the basics of the game his priority. He is a useful line-out operator but it is his appetite for work that sets him apart. Toby Faletau at eight has it all; the ability to combine raw power with soft hands makes him one to watch as he continues his impressive improvement. He also has the ability to grab a game by the scruff of the neck and turn it in his team's favour. Any watchers of Newport this year will know exactly what I mean. Finally Sam Warburton, Wales' new poster boy, who captures everything that this Welsh team want to be known for. His ability to slow ball at the break down will test England's pre-match sound bites of playing at a higher tempo.
England are still struggling to get this area right and Nick Easter's performance for Quins last weekend was a gentle reminder to Lancaster of what a good old-fashioned No 8 can bring to the party. I expect Ben Morgan to get a run here after an impressive turn off the bench. Chris Robshaw will be left to concentrate on his duties at open side and he will need all his impressive willingness to work to quell Warburton. The final slot I believe will still fall to Tom Croft but questions are being asked of where his Lions form has gone. For me it's an easy answer. We can't ask Croft to be the dominant line-out figure at the front in both defence and attack and still expect him to hit his straps around the far side in the open spaces. Take a look, for example, at England's defensive line-out stats. We don't pinch many so why tie our open space runners down at the front trying?
Verdict: Sadly no contest!!
Half-Backs: There is no hiding from the fact that Wales' rise in form has coincided with the arrival of Rhys Priestland. Prior to this Wales played to a rigid structure that gave them solidity in attack but also was fairly predictable. This was best illustrated with Welsh forwards pounding all the way to the 5m line to allow the back line to reload. Ok in theory, but it also allowed defending teams the same opportunity. Now Priestland's view of things is slightly different and has a tendency to ask for the ball before everybody is in place, forcing Wales to play with a bit less organisation but also against a more disrupted defence. The results are obvious.
Mike Phillips at scrum-half has been an absolute rock and whatever his club problems in Bayonne may be they only seem to have created a more mature player. In games in the past it was always the target of opposition sides to push numbers into the breakdown creating slow ball which would put Phillips' decision-making under the spotlight. More often than not he couldn't resist the physical invite and he would pick the slow ball to come and challenge your fringes. The result is Wales with slow ball and their scum-half on the floor. But recently he seems to be striking the right balance and his role in the last 10 minutes away in Dublin was an illustration of his maturity.
England's combination has not been a comfortable one with Ben Youngs desperately trying to play himself into some sort of form. His problems illustrate how few players we possess in understanding decision-making at half-back in this country and we often see a rise in tempo being the answer to solving the problem. Well it's not, and it is very difficult to see a quick tap-and-go game for 80 minutes as the foundation of any game plan. A number of times people have misinterpreted a scrum-half's ability to come off the bench and raise the tempo when England are behind as a reason to give him the starting shirt. Now I think Lee Dickson will get his opportunity this weekend to start but let's not make the assumption that a fast tap is the answer to England's problems.
If England can strike the right note at No 9 then we might just get a glimpse of what Charlie Hodgson is capable of. He's not everybody's cup of tea to take England forward but nobody can deny that on the front foot he possesses one of the finest flat passing games around.
Verdict: Closer that you think. With nothing to lose we may just see more width to England's attack.
Centres: A clash of the Titans. Well, it might just be if England opt for Manu Tuilagi. Owen Farrell has shown a steely resolve in his goal-kicking which, if Hodgson is to start, will guarantee his berth. That leaves the decision of whether Lancaster begins with Tuilagi at the expense of the impressive Bradley Barritt to provide much needed line breaking ability, or does he stay with the more composed defensive qualities of Barritt. There was no doubting in Leicester's win against Saracens at the weekend that Tuilagi troubles defensive lines but at the same time he looked short of a gallop after so long out and often followed powerful bursts with spells getting his breath back on the edges. Selection in this area will give us an understanding of whether Lancaster is going for broke or containment at the beginning.
Wales duo in Jamie Roberts and Jonathan Davies are proof that size really does matter! Scotland's inability to stop this pairing from getting over the gain line gave them no chance of dealing with Wales' second wave. Expect Roberts in particular to target the area around Hodgson to get Wales onto the front foot.
Verdict: Again, I'm sorry but I can't see how England get parity in this area even if the selection of Tuilagi evens things up for a while. Wales' conditioning in Poland has given them the ability to keep coming and coming.
Back three: On paper this looks like a "good little 'un versus a good big 'un!" Wales have in George North and Alex Cuthbert wingers in the Jonah Lomu style. Underestimate their ability to provide subtlety at your peril as North illustrated in the slight-of-hand pass to Davies after disposing of McFadden on another bullocking run. Back that up with Leigh Halfpenny's metronomic boot and this looks like a combination that could be together for many years.
England with Ben Foden, Chris Ashton and David Strettle have some of England's most elusive runners who have struggled to impose themselves so far. England will have to strike a much better risk v reward balance if we are to see this trio at their best.
Verdict: Classic cat and mouse and will depend on whether England can create a broken field game to keep things moving.
England v Wales - Away win
Scotland v France - Away win
Ireland v Italy - Home win

Solutions to U.S. Poverty
The causes of hunger in the United States are rooted in poverty. We cannot address one without also trying to solve the other.
Millions of Americans earning low wages struggle to put food on the table and make ends meet. In order to address the continuing prevalence of poverty in the U.S., we need to create good jobs for everyone who can work, provide adequate work supports, and offer incentives so low-income workers are able to save and build wealth.
Below you will find more information on these important factors in eliminating hunger and poverty for good.
