It's not rocket science, but when augmented reality entered our world, it was all about seeing the physical world around you augmented with virtual information through your mobile device. That device became a window to the world filled with information, restaurants, locations of cash machines, cute little teddy bears in the palm of your hand. Yes it's cool. But it is not like you walk around all day with your device in your hand looking for cash machines.
The bridge between digital and reality is a wandering path. We still lived our daily lives in the real world, shopping, eating out with friends, seeing movies, etc. But the fact is we live in both worlds, so when augmented reality came to the table, it met both of those needs when we are on the go. But usefulness is relative and until a technology helps make our lives easier or supports a lifestyle we are part of, it won't be widely adopted, implemented or commericalized. Reference Bluetooth.
So let's get back to reality here and talk about what makes the world go around. Shopping.
E-commerce is close to the de-facto standard on how we shop. By 2015, global e-commerce is predicted to reach $1.4 trillion in 2015. We buy cameras, phones, clothes, furniture, paintings, shoes online. We look, we compare, we guess and we shop. Sure, we still go into a physical store but if you want something fast and you want the most variety, you go online.
Enter a French start up, Augment, who is using augmented reality to help you shop. See what you want to buy in 3D and then shop, knowing the product you bought is closest to what you want. They are catering to e-merchants and brands as well as architects and designers but also 3D developer who are using 3D printing which is all the craze at the moment.
Augment's CEO, JF Chianetta is passionate about what they are doing, stating up front that they did not invent augmented reality, but they did figure out how to pimp it out a bit and create a service that's missing from e-commerce today.
"People live with their mobile devices and we do more and more with them every day," said JF Chianetta, CEO & Co-founder. "If we're living through our devices, shopping on line for anything from phones to art to dining room tables, there's some comfort in knowing what the product looks like in 3D before you purchase it. We are finding that brands and merchants finally feel like there's a tool they can easily use that showcases their products to consumers to shorten the buying process or help you design a better product for your customers."
Augment is self-funded and is generating revenue from a small group of clients using the app including a handful of e-commerce (furniture) companies, 3D developers who who need to visualize 3D printing projects, architects and online poster/art shops.
Augment is a part of the newly enriched start up scene in Paris, France which is thriving through the outing of France's super angels in 2010 and Le Camping, a work /mentoring space that takes on only 12 promising start-ups a season (every six months) and is hub of the Parisian start up ecosystem. France's super angels have been a welcome addition to the start-up scene. Super angels like Marco Simoncini, founder of Jaina Capital and one of France's most successful web entrepreneurs have pledged to invest 100 million euros in early stage start-ups in France.
Augment is available in the Apple App store and Google Play.

Matt Hendricks doesn't get a whole lot of playing time anymore. Under coach Dale Hunter, he has eclipsed the 10-minute mark just twice. But on Wednesday night, Hendricks made the most of his 7:44 with a fight, a shot off the post and a spectacular shift that made his presence ...

I am a transplanted New Yorker that has been in Houston for over seven years (time flies)! I love Houston, the Texas culture, the lifestyle, the Tex Mex and BBQ and all the Amazing friends I have met here - love my Cowboy Boots! I have a great job, loyal friends and spend most of my time focusing on enjoying life and making people laugh. The one part that is missing is the someone to share laughs, secrets, romantic, silly or just day-to-day moments with. I find myself in that perpetual struggle to balance career, fun and family. I have found that Houston and the warm weather really make it easier to enjoy all three more often.

A rare look at emotional bullying among boys from the best-selling author of My Secret Bully.D.J.'s friend Vince has a habit of teasing D.J. and then saying, Just kidding!" as if it will make everything okay. It doesn't, but D.J. is afraid that if he protests, his friends will think he can't take a joke. With the help of his father, brother, and an understanding teacher, D.J. progresses from feeling helpless to taking positive action, undermining the power of two seemingly harmless words. Trudy Ludwig takes another look at relational aggression, the use of relationships to manipulate and hurt others, this time from the boy's point of view.
Trudy Ludwig is an award-winning author who specializes in writing children's books that explore the colorful and sometimes confusing world of children's social interactions. She has received rave reviews nationwide from educators, experts, organizations, and parents for her passion and… More about Trudy Ludwig

Originally written on The Penalty Flag | Last updated 1/21/13
Now that the 2012-13 season is over for Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts, it's now time to look into next year and the free agent pool. Let's say, for giggles, the Colts were willing to spend serious dollars on a big name free agent. Let's play a game called, "What if". What if the Colts wanted a big time receiver to compliment Reggie Wayne? I think we all saw T.Y. Hilton, and what he can bring to the table, and we pretty much know Austin Collie can no longer count to ten without flashcards. Who would make the perfect No. 2 receiver? Two names come to mind and both of them are going to demand a hefty paycheck. Mike Wallace of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Salsa Dancer himself, New York Giants' Victor Cruz. Yeah, I know, it's a pipe dream, but it's a fake game we're playing. The chances of Cruz calypsoing out of New York is a long shot, but I can see Wallace leaving Pittsburgh for the fast dome life of Lucus Oil. Just image, Wayne, Wallace and Hilton running down Luck bombs. I'm getting a stiffy just thinking about it.… Read more

Starlin Castro Rumors
Cubs Notes: Russell, Castro, Mets
The Cubs dominated headlines over the weekend by trading Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel to the Athletics, and here's the latest buzz around Wrigleyville…
- James Russell's name was "heard very often" as a trade possibility this weekend, Peter Gammons tweets. With Chicago in seller mode, Russell's 2.22 ERA would definitely attract teams looking for a left-handed bullpen arm, though his 4.45 xFIP suggests he has been greatly helped by a .209 BABIP and an 82.6% strand rate this year. Russell has also posted reverse splits this season by pitching much better against right-handed hitters, as opposed to his usual dominance over left-handed batters. Russell, 28, is pitching on a one-year, $1.775MM contract and is arbitration-eligible for the final time this winter. The southpaw also drew a lot of interest during last year's trade deadline and was close to being dealt to the Braves.
- A member of the Mets organization described Starlin Castro as "a perfect match" for their club, John Harper of the New York Daily News reports. Addison Russell's acquisition makes the Cubs even deeper at shortstop and Castro seems like a logical trade candidate, while Harper feels the Mets have the young pitchers necessary to swing a deal. Harper suggests Zack Wheeler and a minor league leaguer could interest the Cubs, though the Mets would balk at moving Wheeler and Jacob deGrom, or top prospect Noah Syndergaard.
- Newsday's David Lennon, however, doesn't see the Mets rushing to acquire any major pieces this month, let alone for Castro. In regards to the Cubs shortstop, the Mets would have issues taking on Castro's contract and one New York official brought up Castro's somewhat low on-base percentages as a cause for concern.
- The Cubs' focus on amassing position player depth in their minor league system stands contrary to the Cardinals' long-standing strategy of developing as many young pitchers as possible, Jeff Gordon of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch writes.

Quick Hits: Forbes, Castro, Mets, Luhnow
The average value of a Major League Baseball franchise is now $811MM, a rise of nine percent from 2013 that can be largely attributed to an increase in TV revenue, according to Forbes Magazine's Mike Ozanian. For the 17th straight year, the Yankees (worth $2.5 billion) top Forbes' annual valuation of baseball's franchises. The Dodgers ($2 billion), Red Sox ($1.5 billion), Cubs ($1.2 billion) and Giants ($1 billion) also hit the ten-figure mark, while the Rays had the lowest value at $485MM. The Mets, Marlins and Astros were the only three franchises who saw their values drop from last year's Forbes rankings.
Here's some more news from around baseball…
- Starlin Castro says he's open to moving from shortstop to accommodate star prospect Javier Baez, CSN Chicago's David Kaplan reports. "If I need to move positions, I'm OK with that," Castro said. "If he is on our team and him being there helps the team win, then I am fine with that. I just want our team to win. That's it." There had been speculation that Baez would see time at second base at Triple-A this season in preparation for a position switch of his own, though Cubs manager Rick Renteria stated that Baez would play short in the minors. Widely considered one of baseball's top prospects, Baez has a .903 OPS in 916 minor league PA and hit even better during the Cubs' Spring Training camp this year.
- The Mets' inability to find a trade partner for Ike Davis last winter means that the club is now in the awkward situation of finding playing time for both Davis and Lucas Duda at first base, Joel Sherman of the New York Post writes. Neither left-handed slugger hits southpaws well, so while Josh Satin will start against lefties, Davis and Duda will have to divvy up the starts against right-handers.
- Astros manager Bo Porter said today that the club's top waiver claim priority was keeping them from finalizing the rotation, and general manager Jeff Luhnow went into more detail with reporters (including Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle) about his team's examination of the waiver wire. "I will tell you that these days we're meeting every day at least once…probably twice, and we get input from the staff and do our research," Luhnow said. "This is the time of year with clubs setting their 25-man roster in the next couple days that every other guy that's out of options comes available, and we're going to look at it seriously because it's a way that we can fill the team."
- The Rangers, Athletics, Rockies, Angels and Diamondbacks all made notable moves this offseason that could prove to be mistakes within a few seasons or even in 2014, opines ESPN's Jim Bowden (Insider subscription required). Colorado might've broken even in Bowden's eyes, though, since the Rockies are also on the good end of one of those "backfire" transactions.
- When a number of scouts, managers and other baseball personnel were asked "Were there any young players you watched and said, 'this guy has a chance to be a star?'" by Peter Gammons, the name most often cited was Carlos Correa. The Astros shortstop headlines the top 10 list, though Cubs fans will be excited to know that Kris Bryant, Baez and Albert Almora all cracked the top seven.

Central Notes: Castro, Indians, Twins, Hart
Starlin Castro claims that stress related to an ongoing legal dispute in the Dominican Republic has affected his on-field performance for the Cubs, Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports. A coach at a baseball school in the Dominican is suing Castro, contending that a contract the shortstop's father signed when Castro was an amateur entitles the academy to a portion of his Major League earnings. The affair has had a "direct impact on his duties as a professional ballplayer, leading to one of his worst-ever statistical performances," Castro's countersuit states. While the 23-year-old played in 161 games last season, 2013 saw him slump to a .245/.284/.347 line. The 2014 season will be the second of the seven-year, $60MM deal Castro signed inked with the Cubs in 2012. Here's more from around baseball's Central divisions:
- Paul Hoynes of The Plain Dealer thinks the Indians can still add a couple of players to their roster, but they'll come via trades or minor league signings.
- A Twins official tells Darren Wolfson of 1500 ESPN (via Twitter) that he doesn't see the club getting in on free agent bats Stephen Drew and Nelson Cruz. Minnesota has money to spend but the draft pick compensation that is required to sign them is an issue.
- Longtime Brewer Corey Hart took out a full-page ad in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel to thank the city for its support, Big League Stew's Mark Townsend notes. Hart is headed to Seattle after agreeing to a one-year deal with the Mariners that reportedly guarantees him $6MM.

Quick Hits: Castro, Cubs, Balfour, Phillies, Yankees
Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro is fighting to prevent millions of dollars from being seized from his bank accounts, Juan Perez Jr. and Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune report. When Castro was 16, his father allegedly signed a contract promising three percent of Castro's big-league earnings to a baseball academy in the Dominican. When Castro signed his $60MM contract in 2012, the academy claimed Castro owed it $1.8MM. Dominican law states that twice that figure be frozen until the matter is resolved, so Dominican authorities have frozen $3.6MM. Castro's lawyers, meanwhile, are fighting for that $3.6MM to be unfrozen, and they're also asking for $5MM in damages. They claim that the academy did not have the right to percentage of Castro's extension. Castro was just 16 when the agreement was with the academy was reached, and he signed the big contract with the Cubs after he turned 18. Castro's father didn't have the right to sign away his earnings past age 18, Castro's attorneys argue. Here are more notes from around the big leagues.
- There were high expectations for Theo Epstein when he became president of the Cubs, and Andy MacPhail faced similar expectations two decades ago, CSNChicago.com's Patrick Mooney reports. MacPhail served as president and CEO of the Cubs from 1994 through 2006. Like Epstein, he preceded his tenure in Chicago by winning two World Series titles as a general manager (with the Twins). Like Epstein, MacPhail planned the Cubs' resurgence around young talent, although it didn't work perfectly in MacPhail's case, partly because of the Cubs' struggles to keep pitchers like Kerry Wood and Mark Prior healthy. "We weren't the luckiest birds in the world, health-wise, with our starting pitchers. But most people forget – I think we had a better won-loss record in '04 (89-73) than we did '03 (88-74). So we were kind of building towards it," MacPhail says.
- Grant Balfour says he told Orioles executive Dan Duquette what he thinks about the O's backing out of his two-year deal with them, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. "I called Dan Duquette and told him, 'I've played in this league for 10 years, I deserve to be treated with respect and you did not treat me with respect.'" Balfour says. "'Two well respected physicians said I am completely healthy – because I am healthy. I'm a fighter and a winner and I would have given you your best chance to win.'"
- Jonathan Papelbon and Ruben Amaro Jr. "deserve each other," the Inquirer's Matt Gelb writes. Papelbon has been "surly" about his tenure with the Phillies, and Amaro has been defiant about the Phillies' outlook. The Phillies are trying to trade Papelbon, but they may be stuck, not only because of Papelbon's declining velocity and peripherals, but also because general managers aren't as keen as they once were on spending tens of millions of dollars on closers.
- The Yankees' additions of switch-hitters Carlos Beltran and Brian Roberts should help balance their lineup, reports Joel Sherman of the New York Post. "We were too left-handed last year and [because of injury, in particular] too easy to navigate through at times," says manager Joe Girardi. "I think the switch-hitters make it tougher for the opposing manager." Beltran himself actually hit far better from the left side (.315/.362/.509) than the right side (.252/.281/.448) in 2013, although he's hit only slightly better as a lefty than as a righty for his career.

NL Central Notes: Cubs, Pirates, Brewers, Hart
After passing along several updates from out of the NL East and NL West, we'll turn to the National League's third division, as Monday winds down…
- According to Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times (Twitter link), the Cubs have received inquiries about Starlin Castro's availability, but have no intention of trading him. "We're excited to have Starlin," said GM Jed Hoyer.
- Hoyer hasn't ruled out the possibility of the Cubs trading a top prospect, telling reporters, including Jesse Rogers of ESPNChicago.com (Twitter link), that they "would certainly consider it" if it made sense for the club's long-term future.
- Discussing potential free agent additions, GM Neal Huntington said today that it's very unlikely the Pirates would sign a player that required giving up draft pick compensation, and confirmed that Pittsburgh won't be in on Masahiro Tanaka if he's posted (Twitter links via Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review).
- The Pirates plan to fill their hole in right field internally, but are keeping an eye out for a starting pitcher, a middle infielder, and another bat (likely a first baseman), according to Huntington (Twitter link via Sawchik).
- Adam Rubin of ESPN New York (Twitter link) continues to hear that the Brewers' preference is to re-sign Corey Hart, assuming the money doesn't rise out of their price range. In that case, the Mets would have to look elsewhere for an Ike Davis trade partner.

Quick Hits: Cubs, Hudson, Hamilton
Cubs manager Dale Sveum is upset with his team's recent play and says that players who don't perform won't have big-league jobs, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun Times reports. That goes for top young players Starlin Castro and Anthony Rizzo. "I don't think [anyone's] invincible if you're not performing," Sveum says regarding Castro and Rizzo. "It's not about what we think can happen three or four years from now. It's time to perform on a consistent basis."
Wittenmyer writes that Sveum's harsh words for Castro and Rizzo "threw a sudden dose of skepticism and doubt into the widespread assumptions about the Cubs' core," but acknowledges that, in reality, Castro and Rizzo will be with the Cubs for the foreseeable future. Sveum is suggesting they might be demoted, but that seems extremely unlikely, and it's even less likely that either of them would be traded. The Cubs signed Castro to a seven-year, $60MM contract last August. Rizzo is not signed to a long-term deal. Both players have hit well this season despite occasional mistakes in the field. Here are more notes from around the majors.
- John Poloni — also known as the "fat scout" in Michael Lewis' Moneyball — lobbied for the Athletics to draft Tim Hudson in 1997, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle writes. Hudson wasn't regarded as a top draft prospect due to his size, but Poloni told the A's that Hudson had "the best sinker he'd ever seen." 16 years later, Hudson is nearing his 200th win in the big leagues. That doesn't mean Poloni is rushing to take credit, however. "He exceeded my expectations, too," Poloni says. "A lot of times, it's pure luck."
- Last offseason's big-ticket free agents haven't performed well so far, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Rick Hummel. One of the highest-profile disappointments thus far has probably been Josh Hamilton of the Angels, although it's still early enough in the season that one big series could make any player's statistics look considerably better.

Cubs, Diamondbacks Discussed Justin Upton
The Cubs and the Diamondbacks recently discussed the feasibility of a trade involving right fielder Justin Upton, two major league sources told Bruce Levine of ESPNChicago.com. According to both sources, the Diamondbacks asked for two-time All-Star Starlin Castro in return for Upton and were rebuffed. Theo Epstein & Co. decided that the asking price was too high and cut off talks.
Diamondbacks GM Kevin Towers has an obvious surplus of talent in the outfield but he has made it clear that he wants quality in return for Upton, Jason Kubel, or anyone else. Meanwhile, the asking price for Upton may not be the only hurdle to overcome in a deal involving the Cubs. The Cubs are on the 25-year-old's no-trade list, along with the Blue Jays, Red Sox, and Mariners. Upton invoked his limited no trade privileges in order to block a deal to Seattle earlier this winter.
Upton has three years remaining on his deal and is owed $38MM over that span. Despite the lofty price tag that Towers has put on Upton, the club is still reportedly intent on moving him.

Latest From The NL Central
A few NL Central free agent targets were identified today, as the Brewers and Cubs are in on Jason Grilli among other relievers, the Pirates have expressed interest in John Lannan, and the Cardinals are in the mix for Scott Hairston. More from the division…
- The Cardinals met with Marco Scutaro's agent tonight, tweets Danny Knobler of CBS Sports. Scutaro is represented by Barry Praver.
Earlier updates:
- Pirates GM Neal Huntington told reporters including Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, "In our minds, we've already made our big move with Russ." The Bucs signed Russell Martin for $17MM last week, but still have some work to do. Biertempfel notes that the Pirates have shown interest in five recently non-tendered pitchers: Manny Parra, Lannan, Tom Gorzelanny, Jair Jurrjens, and Mike Pelfrey.
- There have been no substantive talks between the Cardinals and Adam Wainwright about an extension, writes Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The Cardinals, of course, still remain interested in doing an extension with the 31-year-old before his contract season officially begins.
- Most of the quality lefty relievers are likely to be signed by week's end, suggested Cardinals GM John Mozeliak (B.J. Rains of FOX Sports Midwest reporting).
- The Cardinals and infielder Skip Schumaker are open to a trade, reports Rains, but of course it'd have to make sense for the team.
- The pressure of last summer's contract extension talks affected the performance of Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro, agent Paul Kinzer told Jesse Rogers of ESPNChicago.com. The 22-year-old can rest easy now that he's under contract through at least 2019.
- The Cubs remain popular with free agents, president Theo Epstein told reporters including Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune. The team is looking to get creative at third base and will continue to monitor the available starting pitchers (and presumably relievers). Epstein suggested the Cubs have interest in some recently non-tendered players.

Cubs Extend Starlin Castro
The Cubs have signed Starlin Castro to a contract extension that will keep the 22-year-old shortstop under contract for the remainder of his 20s. The team officially announced a seven-year extension that covers Castro's four arbitration seasons and at least three seasons of free agent eligibility. Paul Kinzer of Wasserman Media Group represents Castro, whose seven-year deal includes $60MM in guaranteed money.
Castro has posted a .276/.311/.418 batting line with 12 homers in 540 plate appearances this season. Despite his youth, he already has three full seasons of MLB experience and was on track to go to arbitration for the first time this offseason. As a super two player, he has four seasons of arbitration eligibility.
The deal locks Castro up through 2019, which means he and prospects Jorge Soler and Gerardo Concepcion are the only Cubs players under contract beyond 2014. Soler's nine-year, $30MM contract extends through 2020 and Concepcion's five-year, $6MM contract extends through 2016.
Castro will receive a $6MM signing bonus before earning $5MM in 2013 and 2014, $6MM in 2015, $7MM in 2016, $9MM in 2017, $10MM in 2018 and $11MM in 2019, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports (Twitter links). If Castro finishes in the top five of the MVP voting twice over the life of his contract, his 2019 salary and the value of his $16MM option will each increase by $2MM. All told, the maximum value of his contract including escalators would be $79MM over eight years.
The eighth-year option includes a $1MM buyout that is part of the $60MM guarantee, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports (on Twitter). The deal doesn't include a no-trade clause, Heyman reports (on Twitter).
Enrique Rojas of ESPNDeportes.com first reported that the sides reached an agreement after David Kaplan of CSNChicago.com first reported that the two sides were working on a long-term deal. Post by Ben Nicholson-Smith with Zach Links and Steve Adams. Photo courtesy of US Presswire.

Cubs, Starlin Castro Working On Long-Term Deal
FRIDAY, 5:58pm: Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports that it would be a six or seven-year contract with a club option for one additional year. Castro is a Super Two, so the Cubs would be buying out all of four years of arbitration eligibility plus two or three free agent years. Talks continue to progress and a deal could be completed by next week.
THURSDAY, 10:58pm: Castro's agent Paul Kinzer confirmed to Bruce Levine of ESPNChicago.com that he has had talks with the club about a new deal. "I've been working with the Cubs on contract negotiations for a period of time," Kinzer said. "Starlin would like to be a Chicago Cub for many years to come."
8:23pm: The Cubs are working on a long-term deal with shortstop Starlin Castro, two industry sources told David Kaplan of CSNChicago.com. The deal could be for six or more years and is expected to be finalized before the end of the 2012 season.
A six-year deal would buy out Castro's remaining arbitration years and two years of free agency which he would reach after the 2016 season. Castro's agents at Wasserman Media Group are likely to look at fellow shortstops Hanley Ramirez, Jose Reyes, and Troy Tulowitzki as possible comps for the 22-year-old.
Earlier this year, Mike Axisa estimated that the Cubs will have to spend roughly $20MM to cover his arbitration years and $12-15MM for each year of free agency. Theo Epstein & Co. have an additional year of arbitration to cover as the shortstop is likely to qualify as a Super Two.
One baseball source opined to Kaplan that the Cubs were foolish to promote the shortstop as early as they did in the 2010 season. Had they waited longer to bring Castro to the big leagues, they could have delayed the start of his service clock and prevented him from achieving Super Two status.
Castro's offensive production hasn't been as strong as it has in the previous two seasons as he's hitting .276/.307/.422 with 12 homers in 495 plate appearances. Defensively, Castro has a UZR/150 of 5.1, the best of his three campaigns.

Lemon Barbecued Turkey
|Lemon juice
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Worcestershire sauce
|2 Tablespoon
|Brown sugar
|2 Tablespoon
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|Garlic powder
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|Dry mustard
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|Half turkey
|8 Pound (Thawed)
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
1) At least 2 hours before barbeque time, blend together all the ingredients, except for the margarine and turkey.
2) In a large, heavy-duty plastic bag, place the turkey.
3) Over the turkey, pour the marinade and seal the bag so as to retain the marinade.
4) In a shallow pan, place the bag and refrigerate for about 2 to 8 hours, turning occasionally. The longer the marinade time, the more intense the flavor will be.
5) Remove the turkey from the marinade and drain it.
6) Melt the margarine and add it to the remaining marinade.
7) In a covered barbeque, grill the turkey or roast it in a 325 degrees oven, brushing with the marinade frequently till the meat thermometer hits a temperature of 180 to 85 degrees (roast for about 22 minutes per pound).
8) Place the cooked turkey on a decorative serving platter and serve while it is still piping hot. Makes a delectable and healthy main course dish.

UK: It's All Good eyes expansion after PE investment
It's All Good has won listings with UK indie retailers for Manamosa
UK snack maker It's All Good is looking to build its business with the country's major grocers after securing investment from NVM Private Equity.
NVM has acquired a 31% stake in It's All Good after investing GBP3.5m in the firm, set up by a management team including former Intersnack executive Calum Ryder.
Based in the north east of England, It's All Good manufactures private-label tortilla chips for UK retailers and has a contract to supply its "pitta chip" to Marks and Spencer to be sold under the upmarket grocer's own label.
It's All Good has also won listings with 350 "high-end independent retailers" for "premium" tortilla chip brand Manomasa.
Marketing manager Charlotte Simpson told just-food the investment from NVM would help it expand It's All Good's work with the UK's major grocers.
"That was definitely part of the reason for the funding. The business has grown considerably and to grow further and push into multiples we need to enhance our manufacturing capacity," Simpson said.
It's All Good has a 30,000 sq ft facility at its base in Gateshead. The company said it looks to "differentiate its products by using authentic quality ingredients, niche product formats and novel shape options".

Christopher T. Assaf / Baltimore Sun
April 2, 2013
As previously mentioned, Orioles shortstop J.J. Hardy won his first career Gold Glove last season. But he took a step back offensively. After batting .269 with 30 home runs and 80 RBIs in 129 games in his first season with the Orioles in 2011, Hardy declined in all three categories last year -- hitting .238 with 22 home runs and 68 RBIs -- despite playing in 158 games. For the Orioles to remain competitive in the American League East, they'll need Hardy to bounce back at the plate in 2013.

Ignorance can be bliss, especially when it comes to knowing the calorie count of your favorite fattening foods.
But in New York City, not knowing may not be an option. Thanks to a law that took effect this month, some restaurants must start posting on menus the calorie content of each item they serve, making the calorie count as visible as the cost of the food.
New York health officials are hoping that the sight of a 540-calorie Big Mac or 500-calorie Mocha Frappuccino will inspire restaurant patrons to make healthier food choices. While some chain restaurants currently make their nutritional information available online or through in-store brochures, authorities want that information to be easier to see -- and theoretically harder to ignore.
"People … are not aware of how many calories are in the foods and drinks they get served," Marion Nestle, a professor of nutrition at New York University, said in a Health Department press release. "Providing calorie information before they buy foods should help consumers."
Relatively few restaurants have complied with the law so far. Chains like McDonald's and Wendy's have voiced their opposition, and this week the New York State Restaurant Association took the city's Health and Mental Hygiene Department to court, arguing in a federal lawsuit that the law violates restaurants' First Amendment rights. The industry also complains the rule would clutter menus and confuse consumers.
New York's calorie labeling law would effect roughly 10 percent of the city's restaurants -- only those that currently make their calorie count available to the public in their stores or online. Most high-end eateries or mom-and-pop shops would be spared.
"Essentially, New York City is punishing businesses who are doing the right thing," argued Rick Sampson, CEO of the Restaurant Association.
"This is part of a long-term strategy by city government to tell New Yorker's what they can and cannot eat."
The industry also complains that the law discourages the 90 percent of restaurants who do not make calorie counts available from doing so in the future. A spokesman for Chipotle, the Mexican restaurant chain, told ABC News that company would not provide nutritional information specifically so that it would not be subject to the menu rule.
Tim Zagat, founder of Zagat's restaurant guides, said that for many eateries the rule is a hard one to follow.
"High end restaurants are changing their menus all the time… [calorie counts] are impractical to calculate," Zagat told ABC News.
Zagat does concede, however, that there are financial interest at stake -- interests that may conflict with the public interest.
"[Posting calories] is bad for business… though it's good for people to know what's in their food."
Advocates of the new calorie law see it as a critical tool in America's struggle with obesity. U.S. Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., and the Center for Science in the Public Interest are among those who've expressed support for the law in an amicus brief filed in U.S. District Court.
"The restaurant industry isn't concerned about defending the First Amendment … it just wants to keep its customers in the dark," Margaret Wootan, the center's director of nutrition policy, said in a press statement.
Reactions to the law have been mixed among New Yorkers.

I am relatively new to Rails but not to programming... I've spent way more time than is 'sane' to try to resolve this to no avail...
I am using Ruby 1.92, Rails 3.1, formtastic 2.1 w/ the ui_datepicker-rails3, a wrapper for the jquery datepicker widget
The problematic VIEW has this very simple line (this is the line #18 referenced in the error:
<%= f.input :birthdate, :as => :ui_date_picker %>
When I click on the textbox, the jquery datapicker appears and works fine, but on submit I keep getting:
I18n::ArgumentError in Devise/registrations#create
Showing C:/Sites/sl2/app/views/devise/registrations/new.html.erb where line #18 raised:
Object must be a Date, DateTime or Time object. "04 May 2012" given.
My 'newb' hunch is that the date widget outputs as a String, and that the model expects a date (birthdate is a Date).
So I tried various conversions def birthdate= (value)
require 'date'
write_attribute(:birthdate, date_parsed)
puts date_parsed
write_attribute(:birthdate, nil)
@bad_date = value
-- which causes other issues... This seems like it should be so much simpler... What am I missing?!

The much-anticipated "plan" for how the Warriors will handle Stephen Curry and his recurring ankle problems amounted to a cursory Tuesday press release. Team doctors and Curry's surgeon confirmed that he has no structural damage, he will continue treatment and rehab, and will be cleared to play after he passes a functionality test on his right ankle. The fact that he doesn't need more surgery is a positive, but we'll have to see what specific details emerge in regards to how rigid of a test he'll need to pass to be back on the court, because he's clearly having serious functionality issues in the present. Nate Robinson is the add in competitive standard and deeper leagues - he's averaged 29 minutes over the past two games, despite joining the Warriors just days prior to his first appearance.

We piled our clam digging stuff in the motor home and met Ben and Nadene.

Vidalia's 36th annual Vidalia Onion Festival is scheduled to take place April 18 to 21 in anticipation of the area's spring harvest of the world-famous Vidalia onion – Georgia's official state vegetable.What accounts for the Vidalia onion being so famously sweet is the sulfur-deficient soil and the mild climate in the Southeastern region of Georgia where the Vidalia onion is grown. So special is the Vidalia onion, in fact, that the Vidalia Onion Act of 1986 requires that before anyone wishing to use the U.S.

Who says the traditional Easter ham has to be traditional?
We understand that there is good reason for many traditions, particularly when it comes to food. After all, many food traditions earned their place because they are simply delicious. The glazed ham is a fine example. And that's why we decided not to mess with that part of this spring staple.

A long time ago when Nikiski was called North Kenai in the 60s the Hunger Hut Bar was owned by Frank and Elsie Moore. It was two trailer houses, put together, one for the bar and one for the "backroom" where Elsie cooked on a big stove. It also had sleeping quarters.
To most folks, Duncan Hines is just a brand of cake mix owned by Pinnacle Foods, but the rights to the name was actually sold by the real Duncan Hines, born on March 26, 1880, to Hines-Parks Foods in the early 1950's. In 1956, Hines-Park Foods merged with Procter and Gamble; shortly thereafter, the company marketed Duncan Hines cake mixes across the country and the rest, as they say, is cake mix history. Long before Duncan Hines' name appeared on cake mixes, however, Hines worked as a traveling salesman.

Hi, my name's Josh, and I'm a professional photographer, university trained and with two years of experience at a newspaper, and I'd like to take your picture.
Now I know what you're thinking, "what do I need a picture taken of?" That's a great question, let me offer a few suggestions:
- Informal portraits (weddings, seniors, families)
- Company Events
- Photo Booth
- Area Events (for your publication)
- Commercial Product Shots (for your startup or business)
- Professional Portraits
- Photos of Artwork
- Real Estate
I'm also a capable videographer and can film and edit your wedding, a highlight reel of any event, be it your company's or a local, a video as a marketing tool for your business, or even a will video!
Your next question is probably "but why should I hire this guy?" Well let me tell you: I've invested the time and money in photography that you don't have the time or money to invest. I spent four years at Missouri State University studying the technical and aesthetic qualities of photography under the guidance of qualified instructors. I've invested money in all the right gear—professional cameras and lenses, lighting gear, computers, and software. In other words, I've got the knowledge and gear to photograph you or your stuff, light it professionally, and digitally optimize it.
But don't take my word for it. Peruse my portfolio and keep reading to see what others have to say about the work I've done in the past. If you like what you see, use the contact form to send me a message and we'll get started on your next project today.
Check out what these folks have got to say 'bout me:
Josh photographed our fundraiser and did a wonderful job! He was very professional – arrived on time, interacted well with our guests and documented a great evening for the school. Thank you, Josh!
-Andrea McKinney, Coordinator for Blue Jay Bash, Springfield, MO
Dear Josh,
I would like to thank you for the excellent service and photographs of our team and individual head-shots. The whole process from scheduling, the photo session, to the review and delivery of proofs, was easy and seamless. You made the session fun and relaxing and the pictures were fantastic.We look forward to working with you again for both work and personal photos and will be happy to recommend you to both businesses and families alike.
Thank you!
-Dana Mirowski, Mirowski Inspections, Springfield, MO
As an artist, having excellent images of my work for my portfolio is a must. Josh was a wonderful photographer to work with, friendly but direct; willing to listen, but also equipped with his own ideas. As expected, his photos turned out wonderfully – crisp, clean and informative. I was so thankful that he was able to meet me in Kansas City, since it would have been very difficult to transport my sculptures to Springfield. All in all, a pleasure to work with.
-Kalee Burgess, Artist, Kansas City, MO
Josh photographed 10 pieces in the permanent collection for the Daum Museum of Contemporary Art. We were impressed with his professionalism, knowledge and versatility, as our needs are unique when photographing a variety of objects for publication. The results needed to match the exact colors and textures in the original works and he was able to capture them almost flawlessly. Josh is a great photographer and we'll definitely be working with him in the future.
–Matt Clouse, Registrar/Exhibitions Coordinator, Sedalia, MO
I hired Josh for a photo session last year when I needed a head shot at the last minute. Josh was able to schedule the session on a tight deadline and get me the photos in plenty of time. The photos turned out well, and he provided me with several good options. Throughout the process, he was very professional, and a pleasant guy to work with, consistently helpful and reliable in communication. Thank you Josh!
-Desirina Boskovich, Writer, Atlanta, GA

Hello All,
I'm putting all my stuff into storage for a couple of months. Probably doesn't make sense to hold onto film during that period. All stored at room temperature.
NOTE: I don't have a darkroom at my disposal and so can't count sheets. For the partially filled boxes, I'm going off my written notes on the boxes and or guessing. I can't assure you in anyway what's in the unsealed boxes, but my notes are usually good. I haven't loaded film in quite a while, so don't really remember what's in what.
5x7 Ilford HP5: One full box (25), one box marked "7 left". I think that means there are 7 left in there. Can't promise you that. The full box is factory sealed. Both expire 3/2015. One new box on BHphoto is $44.95. Let's do $40 + $5 S&H for both of these.
4x5 Ilford HP5 + 400TMAX: HP5 Box says "15 left", weight appears consistent with that. 12/14 expiration TMax box feels a little bit lighter, I didn't mark the box 11/13 expiration. It sounds kinda like there's one film pack in there. No idea. $17 + $5 for both.
120 400TX: Two full boxes (10 rolls total) Expires 10/14. $24.75 per box on BH. Let's say $40 + $5 SH for these.
4x5 Arista.edu One full box, expires 4/2014. $30.68 at freestyle. $20 + 5 S&H.
Come get yo film! Paypal only.

Q. How do I become a KidsPeace foster parent?A.The application process involves five or six conveniently scheduled visits to your home over a 10- to 12-week period of time. Staff members gather paperwork, interview all family members, inspect the home for safety and fully explain the responsibilities of foster parenting. Our careful screening process helps you determine whether or not foster parenting is right for you, and, if yes, helps us match just the right child to your home.
Q. What qualities should I possess to become a foster parent?A.Generally, our most successful foster parents are open-minded, dependable, patient and willing to learn new parenting styles for children with different needs. Having a flexible schedule, being tolerant of change and demonstrating the ability to follow our guidelines are all important qualities for success.
Q. What is this new KidsPeace Model of foster care I'm hearing about?A. KidsPeace has developed an approach to foster care that is new and unique, yet proven by experience and research. It helps our foster children become more resilient while addressing their individual circumstances, challenges and the trauma they have experienced. One important part of this is "Together Facing the Challenge", a set of tools, techniques, and training. We try to incorporate a focus on resiliency into everything we do.
Q. Do I need any special training or a special foster parenting license?A.Yes, in some states, you will be required to be licensed, and in other states, you'll just need special training. In either case, we'll provide everything you will need, including: orientation to the program, ongoing trainings, regular in-person support, twenty-four hour on-call support availability and other tools to help you learn and develop your skills along the way.
Q. How long will a child stay in my home?A.This varies depending on the needs of the child and the circumstances of his or her placement. Some children are returned home after only a few months; others after a year or so. Sometimes, children who can't go home become eligible for adoption; others remain in foster care until age 18.
Q. Where will my foster child come from?A.Children are placed through child protective agencies across your state. They may enter your home directly from their family of origin's home, another foster home or from a more restrictive setting such as a residential facility.
Q. What kinds of kids will you place in my home?A.When it comes to foster children, one size does not fit all. There's no typical foster child: some kids are stepping down from residential treatment; some have developmental delays; some have suffered unspeakable abuse; some have never been required to follow the rules of society; some have built walls around themselves to keep out the hurt; and some have lost their beloved homes and families. Most will undergo counseling and therapy while in foster care. It won't be easy to help a child who has known such pain and upheaval, but we'll train you extensively on how to handle the specific needs of your foster child.
Q. Must I take any child you place with me?A.No. Before placement, KidsPeace will present you with available information about the child we believe "matches" with your household. You may request additional information, and you may always accept or reject a child's placement. Saying "no" does not affect our willingness to call you about other children in the future. We respect your right to do what you think is best for your family.
Q. Will I get to meet the child before he or she moves in with me?A.Sometimes. If time allows, we try to arrange pre-placement visits so you can meet ahead of time. In many cases, however, a child's need for a foster home is urgent, and you won't be able to meet your foster child until he or she arrives at your door.
Q. Do you offer financial compensation?A.Yes, KidsPeace provides compensation to cover room and board costs of foster children. Your local office can explain the current rate structure and payment system. This money is provided to cover such expenses as food, clothing, shelter, transportation, recreation and allowance, and should not be considered income. You will not be responsible for your foster child's medical costs. KidsPeace does not have a minimum income requirement. However, your income must be earned and should be sufficient to meet the financial needs of your family.
Q. How will my own children be affected by my foster children?A.All children are influenced by the behaviors and attitudes of other people, whether these individuals are friends at school, neighbors, or foster children. If your children understand your expectations and have a sense of appropriate behavior and values, it is unlikely that they will be adversely influenced.
Q. Do foster children need their own bedrooms?A.No. Children of the same sex are permitted to share bedrooms provided that the foster child has space for personal belongings and opportunities for privacy. Children are not allowed to share the same bed. The bedroom designated for the foster child must have a door for privacy and a window to allow for ventilation and a second means of escape in case of emergency.
Q. Where and when do children visit with their families of origin?A.When the goal is to eventually reunite the family, visits are crucial to help the child maintain a sense of belonging and identity. Visitation schedules vary and may be scheduled once a week or once or twice a month. You'll be asked to transport the child to visits, which are generally held in a supervised office setting.
Q. What kind of help and support will I get?A.KidsPeace has an impeccable reputation for the support we provide our foster children and families. We maintain frequent, consistent contact, and we're available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days per year to support and guide you.
Q. What if I'm overwhelmed or I can't handle my foster child's problem?A.So that you don't get overwhelmed, we provide respite care, both on a regular schedule and on an emergency basis. At KidsPeace, we recognize that sometimes placements fail despite everyone's best efforts. If the situation becomes unworkable, we will move the child to another home.
Q. What forms of discipline am I allowed to enforce?A.Your current parenting style will determine how much of an adjustment you will need to make to follow our guidelines. Our policies and guidelines are designed to protect both you and your foster children. We only allow appropriate, non-physical methods of discipline, such as removing privileges, giving "time outs" and using rewards, encouragement and praise for good behavior. Some of our discipline rules:
Q. Do children ever become available for adoption?A.Yes. Sometimes, for various reasons, children are unable to return home and may have a court-ordered goal of adoption. Foster families are always given adoption consideration when a child in their home needs a permanent family.Learn more about KidsPeace adoption services.

Mark Trumbo needed Sunday's game as badly as the Angels did. Trumbo needed it to wipe away the memory of a debilitating slump, one that has threatened to ruin his All-Star season. The Angels needed it to wipe away the memory of Saturday night. In baseball, a short memory is important. One bad game lasts only until the next game starts. A slump can be put to rest with a game-winning hit. That's what Trumbo gave the Angels on Sunday, delivering a three-run homer in the second inning of a 4-3 win over the Kansas City Royals -- and putting Saturday night's crushing ninth-inning loss into the distant past. The effect of the victory was critical since it allowed the Angels to stay within striking distance in the American League wild card race. After their loss Saturday, it looked like they might simply fold -- that's how badly it hurt them. But they recovered to take two of three from the Royals in Kansas City and return home for their final and most important homestand of the season...

Surveying the last year or so of headlines concerning the NBA's ongoing labor dispute, it's striking how one-sided the discussion is. NBA commissioner David Stern has dominated the public discourse, with NBPA Executive Director Billy Hunter and NBA Players Association President Derek Fisher speaking only occasionally and almost always with a vague optimism and commitment to the process.
That pattern seems to be shifting this week, as Hunter has shown a more forceful, combative side.
In an ESPN.com interview, Hunter disputed Stern's statements that the two sides have agreed on the owners' financial situation. Why is that a big deal? Because that was the biggest headline coming out of Stern's All-Star Weekend address, a statement that would provide hope because it would allow the negotiating process to begin. The two sides can't truly negotiate unless they see eye-to-eye.
Almost as important as that statement of fundamental difference is that Hunter also made it clear that the players were ready for a long battle.
Hunter dismissed the idea that players are unprepared to weather a work stoppage.
"That's the belief," he said. "That was put to rest and proven false in [the lockout of] 1998. And I can assure you that if the owners continue to push for the deal they've been pushing for for the last two years now, that the players will take a stand. They won't cave. And they'll ride through this lockout." Hunter said he does not yet know what's driving the league's tough stand.In a Yahoo! Sports report, Hunter also seemingly dismissed many of the owners' desired changes in a new Collective Bargaining Agreement by pointing out those changes were already proposed and rejected in previous bargaining sessions dating back years.
"We're trying to determine whether it's all rhetoric, or if it's real," Hunter said. "We'll only know in time. We're not in a position right now to say. David [Stern] hasn't given me any indication for me to conclude that it's rhetoric. He seems pretty strident, and pretty much dug in in terms of where he is.
"Ironically, a lot of the same things that David and the owners are demanding now are identical to what they were demanding in '98. He said, 'I think every one of my owners should have a guaranteed $10 million profit per year. I said, 'Bull… . 'What they have is predicated on how they manage their teams. Nobody forces them to sign anyone.
"It's the same argument: 'We've got these guys who got six-year deals and I've got to pay this guy …' Well, [expletive] it. Why did you give it to him? Nobody put a gun to your head."Without question, that's the sound of heels being dug into the ground. For those hoping for a quick, painless resolution to the labor negotiations this summer, those words read like nails on a chalkboard.
The players and their labor executives are entitled to their bargaining position and the public restraint they've showed simply couldn't last forever. A one-sided media presentation of the dispute is certainly not in their best interests.
Something to watch closely here will be Stern's response (or lack of a response) to Hunter's direct challenges. By disputing Stern's major All-Star Weekend statement, by implying that he believes the owners could be "all rhetoric" and by upping the intensity of his side's rhetoric Hunter is calling Stern to the carpet a bit here.
One thing is for sure: If Stern gives Hunter the Stan Van Gundy treatment, we could be in for a long fall and winter.

Get a glimpse of what it takes to start and successfully run a business in this candid interview with seasoned business coach and author Dave Crenshaw. Discover the secrets of managing priorities, working for your customers, bankrolling an idea, and investing in future success. The course covers tips from getting started as an entrepreneur to pitching to investors and researching the competition.
Jeff: What are some of the biggest mistakes that you have seen entrepreneurs make? Dave: One of the first biggest mistakes I have seen comes down to partnerships, and I would include in this family partnerships. It is very common for people to feel like because they are not going to have enough time to get everything done; I need a partner; I need to bring someone in. Unfortunately, most of the time partnerships are ill conceived and not documented very well. It's sort of let's just go in to business together and see if we succeed, but they don't clearly define what the rules are.
They don't have a contract. They don't have buyout clauses. What happens when someone gets hurt or incapacitated? What are we going to do? All of these things come into a partnership. You know what's the decision-making process the partners are going to follow? So honestly I advise people to try to avoid having a partnership if possible, but if they are going to have a partnership, to clearly document it, to clearly have a division of labor, to have a contract spelled out, and get everything in writing.
It's easy to be really friendly and feel like oh you know we are just friends, we are just in this together, when there is no money being made. The moment money starts to get made in the business that's when things start to get a little strange. So if you can get it in writing in advance, you are going to find that the partnership goes much more smoothly.

Opening Day didn't go the way San Francisco Giants fans had hoped for, but guess what?!?! It's just game 1 of 162! The Giants are back at it tonight against the Dodgers, and Madison Bumgarner will try to get the Giants their first win of the 2013 season. Matt Cain started his first career Major League Opening Day, and it didn't end like he hoped it would. However, he did pitch a great game! Cain tossed 6 innings of shutout ball. He gave up 4 hits, 1 walk and racked up 8 strikeouts. There wasn't much offense generated against Clayton Kershaw. There was a few hard balls that were hit right at the Dodgers. Infielder Marco Scutaro snapped his 20-game hit streak that carried over from the end of last year's regular season. Pablo Sandoval did have a 2-for-4 day at the plate. It just wasn't enough of a spark to get things rolling for the Giants. No need to be down Giants fans. Championships are won in October and not in April. Let's not forget that the Giants were swept in Arizona last yea...

Picking away at the Stornello, I can't put the forks on until I get some gaiters. Pulled the rocker cover off and checked the tappets...perfect. I haven't set them in 30 years. Those who have seen inside a Guzzi twin will recognise the set up...you may not have seen inside the Stornello's competition of the time - the MV Augusta 150...it uses the same rocker plate over the head studs too.
The drive side, the primary drives though the camshaft...makes for a long engine. It's only done 3,000km since I did the engine, but wanted to look at the centrifical filter...clean of course.
A look at the spine frame - swing arm through rear engine mount, and no lower rails. I've put a K&N filter on too.
The muffler has surface rust...maybe I'll paint it black like a Le Mans. I poured some fisholene though it - the cat had a lick of course, I don't think it tasted as good as it smelt. Check out the width of the helical primary drive.
