Tech Company Music Videos Must Be Stopped
This has to be a labor violation of some sort. It's easy to understand how tech company music videos happen, and I'm not saying they can't exist — in the exact right context, among friends, I'm sure they're all really funny, in a last-day-at-summer-camp sort of way. But there must be rules.
Rules such as: Do not professionally produce the video. Do not perform the song in front of a room full of much older people. And no matter what, do not post it on YouTube.
We can't keep sabotaging America's most promising young people with ill-advised rap videos covers of fun. songs. THE FUTURE IS TOO IMPORTANT.

MLB: Who Are the Early Front Runners For the Cy Young?
2013 Cy Young Canidates
With the season almost halfway over, MLB pitchers are already making their claim for why they deserve to be the Cy Young award winner of their respective league. With former Cy Young winners David Price and R.A. Dickey having forgettable seasons, there have been a number of candidates willing and able to step up.
R.A. Dickey has seen a season plagued by injuries and inconsistency. Though he owns a respectable 1.84 K/BB ratio and a 0.76 G/F ratio, he unfortunately finds himself 4-7 with a 5.18 ERA. Dickey hasn't made the best of adjustments heading across the border to the Toronto Blue Jays. After having such a stellar performance with the New York Mets last season going 20-6 with a 2.73 ERA, his knuckleball has not seemed to adjust well in the American League.
Things haven't been much different for last year's AL Cy Young winner, David Price. After a season that saw him go 20-5 and maintain a 2.56 ERA, Price has fallen to a 1-4 record with a 5.24 ERA in 2013 and finds himself on the 15-day DL — not the kind of start the ace of the Tampa Bay Rays had been looking for. Not only does Price have a low K/BB ratio at 3.50, but he also has a terrible G/F ratio at 1.01. Tampa Bay can only hope that Price will return to Cy Young form once he comes back from the DL if they want to see any chance of making the postseason.
With star pitchers not producing as expected, lets take a look at the top candidates of the AL and the NL for the Cy Young award.
National League: Matt Harvey
One name that stands out so far this season has been Matt Harvey of the New York Mets. Harvey has been the bright light in the big city of New York as he has posted a perfect 5-0 record and has maintained a surprisingly-low 1.85 ERA. He sports a K/BB ratio of 4.94 and also has a G/F ratio of 0.84. Not only has he shown himself to be one of the best pitchers in the MLB, but he is also fourth in ERA for the entire National League.
National League: Jordan Zimmerman
Jordan Zimmerman was the former ace of the Nats before the emergence of Strasburg and some necessary Tommy John surgery abruptly took that title away from him. Now, in the midst of everything, Zimmerman seems to be returning back to his former self, leading the league in wins with an 8-3 record and is top 10 in the league in ERA at 2.37.
Though Zimmerman is not known for his strikeout numbers (he has 49 on the year), he has a fantastic G/F ratio at 1.11 percent which has helped him run roughshod through opposing lineups. He also owns an astonishingly low K/BB ratio at 4.90. Though these numbers are likely to climb throughout the rest of the season, it doesn't seem like any team can extinguish the scorching hot Zimmerman.
National League: Patrick Corbin
23-year old rookie Patrick Corbin has seen instant success in the big leagues and has really begun to make a name for himself with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Just recently, he became the third pitcher in MLB this season to reach eight wins. Not only is he currently posting a perfect record, but he is also second in the NL in ERA at 1.71. He has a K/BB ratio of 2.80 and a G/F ratio of 0.97.
So far this season, Corbin is the only pitcher currently producing for the Diamondbacks, and fortunately for Arizona, he is producing at an elite level. If Corbin continues to stay hot and the team continues to see the ball as well as they have all year, he may be a serious contender for the National League Cy Young.
American League: Matt Moore
Matt Moore has been nearly unstoppable this season as he has posted an 8-0 record with a 2.21 ERA for the Tampa Bay Rays. Though he has only struck out 56 batters with a K/BB ratio of 2.00, he has a great G/F ratio of 0.66. Moore has seemed to shoulder the load for this team that has seen its struggles. He will continually be counted on to fill the vacant "ace shoes" for the rest of the season if David Price doesn't return back to form once he comes back from his injury. Though Moore is not the most prestigious name out there, the numbers speak for themselves and they say that Matt Moore will be a serious candidate for the AL Cy Young.
American League: Yu Darvish
Japanese phenomenon Yu Darvish has found himself with a 7-2 record and a 3.03 ERA with the Texas Rangers. The most impressive stat has been his strikeout numbers. Darvish leads the league with 105 strikeouts with a phenomenal 4.77 K/BB ratio. He also has a G/F ratio of 0.94.
In his first start of the season, Darvish looked like he was making a statement, striking out 14 batters and was one out away from pitching a perfect game against the Houston Astros. Though he was almost perfect, this is the type of dominant performance that we have been seeing from Darvish all season long. If he can keep it up, then not only will he the Rangers see success as a whole, but Darvish may find himself in serious talks for the AL Cy Young.
American League: Clay Buchholz
The Boston Red Sox rotation has been spot on in 2013, being led by ace Clay Buchholz. You may ask how is the rotation being led by a pitcher who finished 11-8 with a 4.58 ERA last year? Whether it be the addition of manager John Farrell or whether Buchholz needed an off-year to clear his mind, he is off to a perfect 7-0 record with an AL-leading 1.73 ERA.
Not only does Buchholz have a great K/BB ratio at 2.70, but he also has a G/F ratio of 0.99. Jon Lester has also been having himself a stellar season as he has a 6-1 record with a 3.34 ERA. The Buchholz and Lester combination has been critical for the Red Sox success and may just carry them to a postseason appearance.
As of right now, Buchholz seems like he is the frontrunner for the Cy Young.

An obstetric panel is a group of blood tests done to
check the health of a woman before and during early pregnancy. The results of
these tests can help find certain problems during the pregnancy. They can also
help guide any treatment needed for a woman during pregnancy or for a baby
immediately after birth.
Blood type,
antibody screening, and a
complete blood count (CBC) are all part of an
obstetric panel. Your doctor can check to see if you have
Rh-negative blood. If you have Rh-negative blood and
your baby has Rh-positive blood, this is called
Rh incompatibility. Although it is not known for sure
what the baby's blood type is, steps can be taken to prevent problems caused by
the incompatibility.
Other tests in the panel show if an infection
such as
syphilis or
hepatitis B is present. Another test can show if you
are immune to
rubella, also known as German measles. You may also be
tested to see if you are infected with
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Roads will be rougher, classrooms fuller and textbooks more tattered. The odds of encountering someone fresh out of prison will almost certainly be higher.
If the budget deal crafted by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and top legislative leaders is passed by the Legislature and survives the inevitable court challenges, California will undergo perhaps the biggest downscaling of government in its history.
The state will be reshaped, at least for the short term, into a domain that is more efficient by necessity, but also noticeably shabbier, less generous and possibly more dangerous.
Those who will notice the biggest changes will be students and the poor as class sizes increase and health and welfare benefits shrink. The pace of government-sponsored redevelopment will slow, and some state parks will close.
"These cuts are real, they're going to be felt, they're going to be seen," said state Supt. of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell.
Details remained vague Tuesday about precisely how the cuts would be made, but enough trickled out to allow a general overview.
Educators seem to be cautiously optimistic
Educators seemed cautiously optimistic that the cuts would not be quite as grave as feared, and that the trims and layoffs they made in anticipation of the lean state budget would be sufficient.
"Man, I sure hope so," said Ron Lebs, deputy superintendent of the Capistrano Unified School District in Orange County. "This has been a tough budget year all the way around."
His 51,000-student district has already cut $25 million from its budget for the upcoming school year, in part by laying off 140 of its approximately 2,250 teachers, increasing class sizes for its youngest students, eliminating funding for junior varsity sports coaches and reducing spending on programs for gifted students, music and the arts.
O'Connell said the budget includes provisions that eliminate state funding for new textbooks for five years, get rid of a requirement that special education students must pass the high school exit exam to obtain a high school diploma and reduce the minimum length of the school year from 180 days to 175.
The superintendent and others said they were pleased that Proposition 98, which requires that roughly 40% of the state budget be earmarked for education, was not suspended. There was concern, however, that the budget deal was not specific about when schools might be repaid for past cuts.
Gayle Pollard-Terry, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Unified School District, said leaders of the state's largest district thought they had made sufficient -- and painful -- cuts to get through the next school year, including laying off about 2,000 teachers. But conflicting reports suggested that the state reductions could require the district to undertake another round of trims, she said.
Higher education officials were relieved that the CalGrant program, which offers cash grants to lower- and middle-income college students and had been considered for elimination, had apparently been saved. But that was about the only relief in sight. The state will cut funding to both the University of California and California State University systems by about 20%. And campuses throughout the state are cutting class offerings, raising student fees and instituting furlough plans for faculty and staff.
2 health and welfare programs are targeted
Miriam Ibarra, 31, of Victorville, sighed when she heard about the budget cuts affecting the Healthy Families program, the low-cost medical insurance program for the working poor. About half the children enrolled in the program appear likely to lose their healthcare.
"It would really affect me because I don't have any other kind of insurance," she said. "Honestly, I don't even know what I would do" without it.
Ibarra's husband is a truck driver who doesn't get health benefits because he is self-employed. Ibarra, a stay-at-home mom, and her husband go without health insurance. But the Healthy Families program covers the couple's two children, ages 14 and 10, for a premium of about $10 a month, with $5 co-pays for some visits.
Ginny Puddefoot, a spokeswoman for the Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board, the state agency that operates the program, said she is expecting about $124 million in cuts, in addition to an existing $20-million shortfall. Since the federal government kicks in $2 for each $1 the state spends on the program, she said the total loss will be about $432 million out of a total budget of slightly more than $1 billion.
Budget to reshape the Golden State

Two-Coin Holder from PCGS
Just recently a new slab was produced by PCGS, it was brought about by the two coin 75th anniversary set that was so very popular this year. Then I saw that it came in a sample slab as well and thought PCGS must be considering using the double slab on other coins. Otherwise, why would they be showing it as a sample slab?
From what I have been told, PCGS realized that the potential of the new two-coin holder was something they could work with and they also realized that, indeed, it was going to have a vast amount of combinations. This new holder has the ability to accommodate any two standard sizes coins you may choose such as a Morgan Dollar and a Peace Dollar of the same year, for example.
Or a gold one ounce eagle and a silver one ounce eagle, even if you wanted to put two coins in the holder with your kids' birth years, such as two American Silver Eagles. As a grandfather, I really like this idea. There are just so many different combinations for a two coin holder. I hope that this is just the beginning for this slab. Here you have two different sized coins that have been combined and, as you can see by the sample slab in this picture below, it worked very well.
What I like about the two coin holder is that there is no extra charge to have coins encapsulated in the two coin holder as opposed to having two coins slabbed separately. PCGS is offering the same security features with this two coin holder that they offer with a single coin holder, they also offer the same PCGS guarantee of grade and authenticity. This is my new favourite design when it comes to sample slabs!
These samples are going to be hard to find and will, I am sure, carry a high premium, if you can find one. Like all new samples it will be easier to find as time passes, of course it will depend on the amount of sample slabs that the company decided to produce. It will also depend on how long PCGS keeps producing them; however, I think it has a great potential to stay in production for quite a while, but that is just my opinion so we will just have to wait and see.
Now, here is another version of this sample slab that I really like. At the time this next picture was taken, PCGS was not handing out this sample slab to the public. They were only there for the public to look at, as my friend who took this picture said: "I think they were just testing the waters with this new slab." After attending the 2012 Philly show where he saw this sample slab below. I guess the big question now is: will PCGS
be handing these sample slabs out to the public or will they be a dealer-only sample slab? This way dealers can show collectors what they can expect if they decide to go with this type of slab for the coins they are sending away to be graded. If this is the case and it is a dealer-only sample, this will greatly reduce the amount produced and, therefore, this sample will become highly sought after. They could also be used as a
members-only luncheon giveaway, again this would limit the amount of sample slabs produced. No matter how you look at it though, this holder has countless combinations and as far as a collector I think this could become a favourite sample slab. Again this is just my opinion as no one will really know, I suppose, until the slab is tested in the marketplace. That will be the true test.
This Lincoln cent sample seems to me to be something that could possible be handed out to the public, as it shows the holder off very well, again this is just my own opinion it still remains to e seen. These are the only two examples of this sample slab I know of, so who knows where it will go from here. It will be interesting to see what happens next with this holder and what will show up in sample slabs over time. This is all I have so far and as things change I will update this sample slab as I find out more about it. Till then we will just have to wait and see.
All my best,
Alan CanavanSample of the month
The 1921 circulated Morgan silver dollar has always been one of the favourite sample slabs ever produced. Wile other TPG used the mint state Peace and Morgan dollars PCGS was only known for the circulated 1921 Morgan. Until a few months ago when out of no ware I found a 1923-S circulated PCGS Peace dollar. I have only seen the one and have never seen one since then.Website of the month.

Circulated coin in a Sample Slab
Of all the different sample slabs that have been produced, I have always found the circulated coin samples to be the most fascinating. Maybe it's because, in most cases, this type of sample can have more than one date and the challenge would be to find all the dates produced. Such is the cases with the War Nickel, shown below, given out by Tangible Assets Gallery so people could see just what a PCGS certified coin would look like.
Each sample came with a card that described PCGS and the War Nickel. Now, we know this coin was produced from 1942 to 1945, but there is also the different mint marks to consider. This would bring a total of 11 coins when considering the P, D and S mint marks.
That is, if all the mint marks were used. The 1942 coin only had two mint marks the P and S, 1943 to 1945 had three D, P, and S. This is quite a challenging set to complete. Do I know for sure that all the coins were slabbed using all the mint marks? The answer to that is"No!" The only mint marks I have found so far are P and S. The only sample slabs I know of that were produced with both of those mint marks are the 1943 P, S and the 1945 P, S. As for the others, I just can't say which of the other mint marks were used.
The War nickel's used in these samples, even though 35% silver, were in most cases of very low quality, this could be the reason they are hard to find today. The coin might not have been considered anything very special, so I think many were just discarded or lost over time. Today, one of these samples can bring $50.00 and a perfect case for: "buy the slab not the coin." The coins inside these samples can be identified by the large P, D or S above the top of Monticello on the reverse side.
Another set of circulated coins in a sample slab is the PCGS Liberty Head nickel, again with a very low grade coin inside. This sample also had several different dates, but unlike the War nickel the amount of dates used in these samples is, I think, unknown. I have found some dates – the oldest one being an 1898 and the last being 1911. Here are the dates I have found so far, 1898, 1908 (not shown), 1901, 1906, 1907 and 1911. There could be more dates just waiting to be found, as I have said in other articles, sample slabs do have a certain mystery to them.
The sample with Liberty V nickels are hard to find, they rarely come up for sale, and when they do they can sell for a very high price. The last one I saw for sale was a 1907 and it sold for $304.00 on March, 25 2012, Serial number 3868.00/12345678. Now, it is also unknown if this was handed out to the public or was it a dealer-only sample slab. Because of the low value coin inside the sample, they were probably not considered anything special and, therefore, again lost or discarded over time. As I was writing this article a 1908 Liberty V nickel came up for auction and sold for $237.50.
NGC also used a Liberty Head nickel sample, but they used the word "Circ." I don't know how many dates were used as this is a very hard sample to find. I believe the sample below is 1904? I have also seen a 1903. Another interesting fact about this sample, it is the first NGC sample to use a bar code on the front. I have only seen the two samples and the 1903 sold for $83.83, so I now have an idea of how much one would sell for. I am sure if another one comes up at auction, it will fetch a high price as well.
I have written about this next sample in an older article, but it does have a place in this one as well. Originally produced as part of a Random House coin collecting starter kit as I said in my other article. I would have to assume these slabs were an example of what a slabbed coin would look like. Therefore, it would be considered a "Sample." It also holds the pedigree of being the largest amount of samples ever produced with an estimated 50,000 to 100,000 slabs.
The dates on this sample runs from 1917 to 1929, as far as I know there was never a 1921 or a 1922 produced. The slab has no hologram on the back and can be a fun and inexpensive set to build. Some dates can be harder to find than others, but they are showing up more often these days. You can still buy one for under ten dollars, some sellers also sell them in a groups of three or five and so on.
Probably one of the best known sample slabs: the PCGS 1921 circulated Morgan silver dollar. Over the past year this sample has not been that hard to find. This could also change at any time with the amount of bidders I see when one comes up for auction. This is a dealer slab and unlike other circulated samples, this coin would have been saved, because of the Morgan silver dollar inside. One more thing to take note of is the fact that another Morgan circulated sample was produced, unlike the green label sample below, this sample had a very blue coloured label.
When doing research on samples, I always try to use a picture of the sample, this is not always possible as with the last two samples. This is what I have come up with so far with these two samples.
The next sample was a real surprise, as far as I knew the only silver dollar sample that PCGS produced was the Morgan. Until I came across something I had never heard of, or seen before: a circulated 1923-S Peace silver dollar in a PCGS sample slab. This really took me by surprise! With the standard serial # 654321 .00/12345678. I think it took a lot of people by surprise, when it sold for $390.00, the amount of this sample slab produced must have been very small or I am sure it would have shown up long before now.
There is another circulated sample that is a real mystery to me, I have only seen a picture of one, it is a PCGS circulated no date buffalo nickel, serial #3914.00/12345678. I have never seen one for sale and trying to research it, I seem to be getting nowhere. But at least we know the serial number and the coin inside the samples. Researching samples can, at the best of times be a difficult task, getting pictures can be even harder.
So, if you have pictures we can use or learn of a new sample we haven't written about, please send us an email! We're always open to suggestions, information and images. Thanks. You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
All the Best,
Alan CanavanSample of the month
Sample slabs can also have some amazing toning, this NGC PF 65 is a great example of just that

Most people have faced a common problem as they have started to design a website. They find themselves amidst a sea of options, from where it is indeed a difficult task to choose some of the most appropriate ones. However, the majority of people fail to pick up the right options, and hence, make some common mistakes while designing a website, which might fetch negative results.
Here are some of the common errors that occur at the design phase of a website, and can be avoided easily:
Absence of Description of the Website
People often opt for a traditional design for a website, and think that they have accomplished the task. However, the design for a website, no matter how beautiful it is, is said to be useless until and unless it provides a clear description of what the website is all about. Therefore, if, at any point of time, you think that a design is not capable of telling the untold stories about a website, change it.
Avoiding Alt and Title Features
There are no valid reasons, but most people do not use the alt and title attributes available with the XHTML tags on the website that supports such
Irrespective of the size of the business, it is highly important to have a website to showcase the type of business. This will help to increase the customer flow as most of the people today prefer to have the service at their finger tips. So, finding a profitable web designer plays a major role for the success of business. Below are the lists of primary considerations you should know before the start of website service exploration.
Price: Each and every business is executed with the intention of making money. Huge investment without any good features in the website is a waste. So it is better to count each and every penny invested to bring the business on to the market. Some times a website which is designed with the investment of $2000 may look equivalent with the $200 website. An entrepreneur should be clear with the requirement because an optimal website includes best features, quality content and best service. Web Designer India offers the best service with this aspect because one can find the best possible quotes for any type of website development. Here are some ideas to determine the best design quotes.
1. Check whether the design quotes includes pricing for

Climate Policy Falls Short
Cap and Trade Impedes Technology Innovation
Cap and trade programs (CTPs) have been widely accepted as a way to reduce pollution emissions by requiring companies to obtain trades, or emission permits, to be allowed to emit pollutants. The emissions have a cap, or a limit to pollution.
But these CTPs might not actually be the best way to lower emissions and prevent climate change.
According to a study by Margaret Taylor of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, these CTPs produce little to no incentives for technology innovation.
Taylor studied two CTPs, Title IV of the 1990 Clean Air Act, which controlled sulfur dioxide, and the Ozone Transport Commission/NOx Budget Program, which controls nitrogen oxide, and their relationships with innovation.
She found that there is less incentive for innovation when targets are set too low, which happened in both cases.
Since companies were able to reduce emissions more cheaply than expected, they had a surplus of allowances, keeping allowance prices down.
And yet despite the abundance of allowances and the low prices, the CTP policies were not adjusted.
But many companies cut investments in clean technology since it wasn't necessary for them to meet CTP goals.
At the same time, clean energy research and development slowed since the market for products shrunk.
Taylor writes in her report:
"The implication is that CTPs do not inherently provide sustained incentives for private sector R&D investments in clean technologies, but may add to the uncertainty inherent in inventive activity."
It seems evident from her research that not only are CTPs not helping with clean tech innovation, but they are actually inhibiting it.
If the renewable market is to expand, CTPs must be adjusted or take a new direction entirely.

Kidnapping expert: Venezuelan authorities helpless in Ramos case, but risk to his life is low
Nov 10, 2011, 3:32 PM EDT
As we wait for any word or developments in the Wilson Ramos kidnapping, Wahingtonian magazine has a Q&A with Chris Voss, who is an expert on international kidnapping. Of interest:
Are the Venezuelan authorities up to the task of finding him?
No. Kidnapping is a problem most effectively dealt with by civilian law enforcement—the police. But Chávez [Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez] has done everything he can to give control to the military to weaken the police. The military does not have the method of operation or training to deal with a kidnapping …
Do you think Ramos's life is at risk?
If this is a ransom kidnapping, then the risk of harm is low.
Interesting reading on a harrowing day.
- blueintown - Nov 10, 2011 at 3:52 PM
….but one would assume the risk of harm is higher than if he had not been kidnapped at all.
- b7p19 - Nov 10, 2011 at 3:59 PM
Maybe the kidnappers took him to protect him from an attack that they heard about on the streets. They tried to alert the polie, but nobody believed them so they took matters into their own hands.

Into the labyrinth. Peter Ackroyd's new book on London renders all others on the subject redundant. Will Self reads a contemporary masterpiece
London: the biography
Peter Ackroyd Chatto & Windus, 822pp, £25
London: the biography
Peter Ackroyd Chatto & Windus, 822pp, £25
by Will Self Published
In a decade that has seen two large and structurally sound pillars erected in the ever-expanding historiographic monument of London - Roy Porter's London: a social history and Stephen Inwood's A History of London - comes Peter Ackroyd's sublime capstone. Porter's work conceived of the city in terms of its inhabitants' quotidian lives, social mores, political organisations and their religious turmoils. Inwood's looked to the city as an entrepot of the Hegelian world spirit, detailing the personages and events that have enmeshed London, both with its own past and that of other political realities. But Ackroyd has encountered the great modern Babylon face to face. He has bearded it and felt the heft of its mighty agglomeration of masonry, metal, wood and earth. He has discoursed with its teeming inhabitants in all ages and all states of being; he has wrestled with its tortuous thoroughfares and contorted byways; he has smelt its moods and partaken of its strange delusions; he has stared into the basilisk eyes of the metropolis and wrested from it an account of its entire life, from conception, to this: the latest instantiation of its triumphal brazening. Truly, he has written London's biography.
Reading both Porter and Inwood, one felt the lack of a book, the absence of a text that, like debris filling in the walls of an old London building, could bulk out the city, give it form and substance, bring it to life, not in the way that a mere account of its people's mores would, but in the way that some Frankensteinian machine might vivify an assemblage of body parts, rendering them both mobile and sentient. These earlier accounts of millennial London were like Jaws without the shark - Ackroyd has given us the shark.
To write this book we needed a visionary; we needed a writer who combined an encyclopaedic erudition and an effortless ability to progress a narrative, with a hypertrophic level of identification with his subject. In Ackroyd, we have this. He is our contemporary Dr Dee, effecting cohobation from the dross and vapours of the urban scape to produce this golden vision; and he is, like his biographical subjects Blake and Dickens, the quintessential London walker-as-writer. He burnishes the rest of us by association - it is a privilege to be describing the same things as he is, in the same era.
I may be taken to task for this - although, I warrant, only by non-Cockneys - but we also needed a native Londoner for this labour, we needed someone who feels the city to be both constituent of all that he is, as much as he feels himself to be part of it. I dare say others will look at Ackroyd's London in terms of the writer's own biography, but to do so would, in my view, be a poor species of reductio-psycho-absurdum. Rather, let us celebrate the intensity of his indentured identification, and allow him to disappear into the hubbub and the brickwork, the clatter and the patter of the city he has so splendidly memorialised. In more than 800 pages, the author only pokes his "I" above the narrative parapet twice, once to recollect how much tranquillity he gained as a boy from sitting by the fountain in the gardens of the Middle Temple, and once, at the very end, to encompass all times and modes of London into a single purview. This subtle economy of affect left me weeping.
Such a mystical approach to the life and times of a city will not be to everyone's taste. Ackroyd unabashedly proclaims London to be not merely an organism - but a person; an individual who is "half of stone, half of flesh". He rejects any conventional narrative of London as being an attempt to subdue the multifarious forms of time found in the city to one, crude, linear progression.
So, instead of detailing events chronologically, or describing the area of the city from a fixed orientation, Ackroyd has approached his subject using a species of literary circumambulation. He begins at the beginning of each aspect of the city's being - its criminality and laws, its violence and debauchery, its smells and lighting, its music and noise - and takes us down into the streets to wander about in his train, accruing his observations alongside him. Thus he will stroll from past to future, while never losing the particular fugue he has embarked upon. Yet, with each compass he undertakes, he strays further, in time and space, until he has achieved a prodigious kind of inclusiveness.
It is always notable in a work of great length and intense perspicacity that a writer will use and reuse one or two words that sum up the mood of the piece - in Austen's Emma the word is "approbation", in Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov it is "ecstasy". For Ackroyd, the words that best express London are "mer- cantile", "pagan" and "curious". Reading him, you cannot help but feel that, like Thomas de Quincey, another seer of the Great Wen whom he quotes with approval, Ackroyd has also experienced the city as "a vast magnetic range", imparting a "suction so powerful, felt along radii so vast, and a consciousness, at the same time, that upon other radii, still more vast, both by land and sea, the same suction is operating". All roads not only lead, they compel towards the city.
Ackroyd sees the stone half of London as its body, the fleshy half as its ego, and its soul as something altogether stranger. He writes at length on all the ways that Cockneys have earned a crust, from the booths of Cheapside to the "big bang" of the Stock Exchange. He submerges himself in the offal commerce of Smithfield and the tatter medallion on offer in Petticoat Lane. Understanding that the city's raison d'etre is trade - and trade alone - Ackroyd is unfazed by civic hypocrisies and public vices. He urges us, again and again, to remember that London is ungovernable and unmanageable; it is red, it is raging, it is drunken, it is unforgiving.
For Ackroyd, each core district or neighbourhood, whether corresponding to an ancient ward, a parish without the walls, or a more recent suburban enclave, is possessed of its own inalienable character - and, by extension, its own destiny. He begins his case by examining the history of the ancient St Giles parish (roughly compassed in the present by New Oxford Street, Charing Cross Road and St Martin's Lane), and advancing the view that this place is always fated to be debauched and deluded, inhabited by the sedulous and the credulous. He centres the magical preoccupation on Seven Dials, and the micturating one on the slums to the north. Even if the "front line" for street-dealt hard drugs had not always run (following Eros's hypodermic arrow) up Shaftesbury Avenue and Charing Cross Road to where, at present, it quivers in Centrepoint, Ackroyd's thesis would still have a fearful resonance.
As it is, that he can convey his sense of this district's intrinsic mood without recourse to any such modern ephemera tells you how queerly objective the intimacy he enjoys with London really is. Ackroyd writes of the idealised perspective that so many painters of London's panorama have adopted - as if they were poised in mid-air some hundreds of feet above the spire of Southwark Cathedral; and yet he himself occupies a similarly vertiginous and queasy relationship with his subject, at one and the same time its possessive lover and its jealous cuckold. He may not have written the biography of "my" London, but his book is an exhortation for all of us to know the city that we inhabit, to understand the way it operates on our psyches. And it is the antithesis of all the estate-agent twaddle that reduces London - with arrant spuriousness - to a collection of villages. By making of the metropolis an entity, he explains why we feel so corpuscular when we course through its arteries, and so like social insects when we labour in its mines of pelf, and so like historical figures ourselves when we walk upon its stages.
And what else is in Ackroyd's "London" besides? Why, everything: this is a city without circumference, illimitable and unknowable. And he tells us of all the curiosities, in this most curious of cities, from the 18th-century foundlings of Covent Garden given the surname "Piazza", to Henry Moore wandering the Tube stations during the Blitz, and noting: "I had never seen so many reclining figures." On every page there is another anecdotal nugget to be panned from the printed stream - or five, or ten.
To review Ackroyd's London in any conventional way would be to do this book a great disservice. If it isn't truly as compendious as that which it describes, it at least manages that very theatrical London feat of seeming to be so. I began rereading it as soon as I finished, and I urge you to read it as soon as possible, so that you can begin rereading it as well.

After rumors surfaced that Lenovo was considering acquiring Nokia, the PC maker made it clear that isn't the case.
Taiwanese PC maker suffers first quaarterly loss ever based on reorganization costs and other expenses, while chairman sees tablet fever receding.
The company that cashed in on two of the biggest shifts in the PC industry over the last decade has recently had trouble selling PCs, and now tablets. We take a look at what went wrong.
The company today denies having any fear of globalization, which its former chief Gianfranco Lanci asserted in an interview earlier this week.
In interview with AllThingsD, Gianfranco Lanci says his former employers worried about the "de-Taiwanization" of the company when he tried to make the company more global.
CEO Gianfranco Lanci steps down over a disagreement with the company's board about future direction, Acer says. That dispute appears related the company's role in the mobile market.
Demand for the iPad and consumer gadgets helped cause PC shipments around the world to drop in the first quarter, according to new data from Gartner, which was expecting growth of 3 percent,
Readers offered some cogent arguments for and against the Xoom tablet. Google and Motorola face an array of obstacles in cracking the tablet market, as readers astutely point out.
Chief executives should think twice before they jump headlong into the iPad-like tablet market. It may be that the iPad is succeeding but not the larger tablet market in general.
In accepting CEO Gianfranco Lanci's resignation amid disagreements, Acer board reveals plan to stick with the PC business and proceed "cautiously" with mobile. That doesn't seem a viable option in this market.

Love the look (when they stay up)
"They're really attractive leg warmers and I'd love to wear them all the time - however, they tend to stretch out rather quickly and start falling down (when not wearing shoes, they start to come off my feet). They do shrink back down to normal size after washing, but there's just no elastic in the knit to keep them up (unless via friction when worn over pants - I also like to wear mine under my jeans so I can wear them at work, etc.). I plan on keeping them and just threading some dark elastic through the knit top and bottom opening to keep them on and up. Hopefully that'll do the the trick!"

Softness never looked so good!
"Love these, so soft and the colors are great - I bought the navy and was a little concerned that the navy wouldn't work as well as a black pair. The navy goes so well with everything even if you are wearing black. I like to wear them with socks underneath around the house as well as with boots, very cute!"

"Ahh, I am thrilled that Free People offers items by Wooden Ships. These legwarmers arrived in my mail today (thank you free shipping!) and they are gorgeous. I got the mustard/grey combo which are no longer available, but I'm willing to bet the other colors are equally as beautiful. They are soft and have beautiful vibrant colors. They are handmade, like most knit items from Wooden Ships, and again, they are just to-die-for pretty. They are a bit longer than some of my other WS legwarmers, but look very cute bunched up as seen on the models. I'd say my calves are on the smaller side of average and the fit is nice. If you have trouble getting legwarmers to stay up, here are my tricks: I typically wear long socks underneath my legwarmers. It will keep your legs extra warm and helps the legwarmers not to fall. You can also take a pair of longish socks and make small darts or stitches to your legwarmers, so that they are one piece that you put on together. These legwarmers in particular are not very sheer, so you won't be able to see the socks through them. I also love to pair legwarmers under boots (as seen on one of the models) and this also helps them to stay up much better than with regular shoes. If they stretch out, just wash them gently and lay them out to dry and they should revert back to their original size and shape--this is what I do with my other knit WS legwarmers. :)"
