Saints are stunned by an early blitz
Posted: November 19, 2012|
Leamington 3 St Neots Town 0 - Evo-Stik League Southern, Premier Division
Securing a good result at in-form Leamington was always going to a difficult task for St Neots but the visitors were still disappointed that the contest was effectively over after just 20 minutes.
Leamington rocked Iain Parr's team with three goals during that period and though Saints matched the hosts from the point of the third goal onwards, they were unable to fins the cutting edge that would get them back into the game.
Boss Parr was forced to make a change to his starting line-up, with Ade Yussuf coming in for the suspended Dan Jacob, while Gavin Hoyte returned in place of Jordan Gent.
It did not take long for the home side to start exploiting St Neots' lacklustre start.
Renowned for starting matches on the front foot, Leamington forced Arthur Lee into making a goalline clearance in the first minute and it was less than a minute later when they scored their opening goal.
An attack down the left was not cleared properly by the Saints defence, allowing Liam Daly to hit a low shot through a crowded penalty area that Michael Duggan was unable to keep out.
It got even worse in the 14th minute when another attack down the left saw Stephen Morley given too much room and he cut inside and fired past Duggan from a narrow angle to make it 2-0.
As St Neots continued to give the ball away in dangerous areas, a clever through ball from Matty Dodd six minutes later caught the defence napping and Lee Chilton was able to break clear and slide the ball past the advancing Duggan.
With a three-goal lead, Leamington began to drop the tempo and Saints had their first attempt on goal in the 25th minute, Jay Davies blasting a free-kick just a foot wide.
The lively Lewis Hilliard twice got into good positions for the visitors but on the first occasion his shot was blocked and on the second, his effort lacked power and the Leamington keeper was able to make a comfortable save. Stefan Moore fired wide for St Neots as the half drew to a close.
After the interval the visitors appeared more focused and determined to get something out of the game.
Parr's men began to dominate possession but without creating any clear chances in front of goal.
Their best move of the match came in the 69th minute when Hoyte, Moore and Ben Mackey combined and from a narrow angle, Hoyte hit a lot shot that the Leamington keeper somehow kept out with his leg.
Moore, substitute Tom Spark and Ollie Thorne all went very close to scoring for St Neots but the action ended at the other end where Duggan pulled off two impressive saves to prevent the deficit from getting any bigger.

Okay, I tried using my boyfriends tablet with his dads laptop with no drivers on paint for a paint-over, but.. yeah went badly.
Anyway, this is bad. Structurally there is no sense of 3D. The groin has been completely ignored, and all the components have been contoured, but not really well.
Firstly, the head. The head just, doesn't work like that. There is an artist Riley, ( but I can't find the right spelling ) who does a really good step by step tutorial. Though I haven't found it, but I'll hunt around when I can, or redraw the tutorial for you if I can't. Anyway, structurally, you need to think 3D.
Draw it in boxes, you're forgetting the actual form, for example, the chest, well you forgot the side, we're all pretty 4 sided really, smoothly, but still 4 sided.
The breasts, well, are not merged into one, they also come from the arm line, you know near the armpit? You're forgetting that.
I'll do a redline when I get home, because there is so many things faulty, that if we can fix now, you'll be stronger as an artist immediately.
However, I have placed some of my sketches on DA, I'm not the best, but I do show my sketch lines, perhaps look at them to see how to think more 3D?
I hope I helped a little! Sorry D:
I can't wait to see the redline! Not meaning that you describe things badly--you do great with that--but it'll do great to see what you're saying in action too.
Something I see with your sketching is that you're more free with the starting lines for the under-sketch (is that what it's called?). Is that something I'll be able to do in time?
Right now I'm always afraid I'll get something worse off than it would have been.
I usually block out the form first, then drop the opacity, I draw out the rib shapes, hips, central line, then the arms and legs. Its important to get the gesture first, of the entire flow of the form, this will help it look natural, then go back in and make sure the proportions are correct, then block out the shapes
The central line is the figure's spine, right? Or does it also handle where a leg could be? I've seen someone use it for such and have confused myself.
Also, the rib shapes--is that figuring out basically how the top of the torso looks?
Thank you so much for answering questions!
the central line is from the middle of the face down to the groin, you can do it either way, I usually use it to help place the ribs for the weight ( ie if the hips are rotated and the shoulders are dropped ).
I use the ribs to define how the waist works, because the breasts, then ribs, then waist are all quite different, men also tend to have large ribs, so it helps reconfirm the orientation of the character.
I'll get my tablet from home and draw some tips for you when I go home, but its Christmas and my boyfriends family have gone to France, so I'm taking advantage of it and bothering him for the week I'm going home tomorrow so I'll give some tips then
I hope you've enjoyed the week and have a safe trip back home!
And thank you so much for the explanations.
Oh I've only been here for 2 days, we're going to mine for christmas, then I'm going back to his, though I'll be grabbing my tablet

Putin-Backed Rebels Shoot Down Two Ukrainian Fighter Jets
Pro-Russian rebels have shot down two Ukrainian fighter jets, a spokesman for Ukraine's military operations said on Wednesday.
The spokesman said the two were downed near Savur Mogila in eastern Ukraine. No details were known about the pilots.
Rebels said they hit two Su-25s in Snezhnoe, which is near where they accidentally shot down Malaysia Flight MH17 on July 17, killing 298 people.
The Wall Street Journal reports that The U.S. believes Russia has continued arming and training separatists in spite of the MH 17 tragedy.
"We don't think they have stopped," one U.S. intelligence official told WSJ. "We think they continue to do it."

A bunch of rich kids literally drop onto the wrong tropical island as they are captured by a nasty gang of people smugglers. Jason Brodie is Far Cry 3's main protagonist, and unlike his military serving brother is not familiar with jungle warfare, but he needs to learn fast as the need to free his siblings and friends on Rook Island becomes top priority.
Far Cry 3's story weaves around Brodie's coming of violent age, clanging into a number of mystic hurdles and rudimentarily formed "you are just like me" discussions between the good and bad guys along the way. But it all serves well as the structure to this excellent sand-box game.
Whilst the game has been incorrectly described as Skyrim with guns, there is plenty to do here. There are a number of mechanisms that combine to force players into all facets of the game. Hunting is integral to progress here: In order to carry more money, ammo, weapons or loot Brodie must craft items out of the various fauna that infests the jungle.
Then there is the syringe crafting from native plants that can boost your ability to hunt, survive and combat your fellow (but evil) man.

Hit By Art Hard, When A Writer Loses Her Words
It was hard for me to know where to start this post. I've spent hours thinking of how to present it…two parts, three parts or four? I fought on how to write it…whether or not to analyze it…and if so, how to break it down.
So, I decided to follow the "cockroaches in my head" and write it as Macala; write it in my seldom used, conversational style. I let the thoughts that meander and swirl in circular fashion in my mind that never sleeps, go where they felt they needed go, in order to tell this story. It's a way that I seldom write anymore, as it confuses many people who read me this way. Let the journey begin.
FMM is now three years old. We have come a long way. For years, I've shied away from many things for fear of tainting the site that I've been so attached to for years. Why? Because no matter how novice or advanced our blog posts have been, this site has been my creative outlet and the sole source of inspiration that's driven everything that is me both personally and professionally. When I started FMM, I had certain goals for the site. Those goals changed as this digital canvas of knowledge evolved. But no matter what it became, it's always been intricately tied to my identity and brand.
Lately, she's (meaning FMM) been evolving faster than I can keep pace with. From her name, to her design and her features, I've been trying to grow and match what this amazing creation of mine (and now others) has become to the woman that I that I once was to the woman I'm once again becoming. Isn't evolution and maturation, even though scary and sometimes overwhelming, simply DIVINE?
"What is art? It's a conversation with a man's soul. It begins in the flesh, but becomes something else." – Art Hard
Macala, where are you going with this?
I am sorry my dear reader, I am getting there. What I'm trying to say, is that "as people, our stories constantly evolve." And the businesses, personal relationships and so many things tied to us a individual people change with that evolution. Frankly, for the past six months, I've been in limbo. I've been carrying the world on my shoulders, attempting to figure out where to move and what is coming next. And then an email that I didn't expect popped into my inbox. And it when it came, I did not expect what came with it to have such a dramatic effect on my life.
That email, came from Nancy, the beautiful soul who directs and curates "the Anthropologist" for Anthropologie, as I was sitting in TriBeCa at Kaffe 1668 two weeks ago in New York City. I was surprise to learn Nancy read my our website; I believe that my heart skipped even skipped a few beats. She offered to send FMM Anthropologie's recently released DVD, "Art Hard." Art Hard, shot in Siberia, is actually their first short film produced as a company.
Now you know, I'm very discerning when it comes to a brand's editorial and believe context is just as important as content when evaluating whether or not something is relevant or even worth creating at all. So for me, when a fashion retailer sends me something that relates to content, I take that quite seriously. And because of the brand, it was even more important.
For those of you who know me, you know that I've been in love with Anthropologie and a loyal customer of theirs for years. My love of this brand began at age 26, when I finally matured past Free People. From Washington DC to Las Vegas, San Francisco to Santa Monica, whenever I've needed inspiration, I've headed to the closest Anthropologie store I can find and promptly pop myself down on a chair or couch with whatever divine book I gravitated towards after looking around the entire store (that's the 19th century English lit major in me). As a company, Anthro represents some major milestones in my life. I still own the SPARROW cream colored sweater that was my first purchase ($58 was expensive at the time) and I shop the sale section every month and by one or two pieces of dinnerware that I like to add to my ever growing collection of purposefully mismatched place settings.
"In Russia, we have a saying that everyone has cockroaches in their heads. It means that we are all a little insane." – Art Hard
When I got back from New York, the DVD arrived. I sat down with an amazing, full bodied red wine from Kaena Vineyards and started to watch, ART HARD (by Meredith Danluck a film about artist Jim Denevan). Please keep in mind, I did no research on the film before I saw it. I wanted to experience it from the mentality of someone's who accidentally stumbled across it and see if it evoked the same emotion connection and deep thinking that the Anthropologist content often does when I interact with it. Honestly, the journey I embarked upon was not something that I was ready for.
Now you are beginning to understand the context of what was written before getting to this point in this story. To summarize my experience, I would say that:
Art Hard took my mind on journey that questioned creativity and challenged me to analyze my definition of art. And then it brought emotional release from the weight of the world on my shoulders. Something I never expected. – Macala Wright, Founder, FashionablyMarketing.Me
Furthermore, it took me down an very emotional trip that left me trembling in the middle of yoga class, silently crying in child's pose and at the end of the class, releasing whatever my mind and body where holding onto. Reflecting on things that inspired me in the film struck trigger points that said that I could just could let go. Art Hard brought release.
Wow Macala, that's extremely personal and almost too intense to be sharing…Why are you telling me this?
I know, and I am sorry if this seems like social over share. But I am telling you because its worth sharing. Why? Because that is what your branded content, branded entertainment, transmedia or narrative storytelling (whatever buzz term you want to put on it) should evoke from its viewers.
Whether delightful or dark, it should evoke emotion so powerful that it leaves us shaken to our cores. It has to move us in conscious and unconscious ways. If you do that, then you've been successful. And currently, less than thirty brands big and small (out of hundreds of thousands) have achieved this.
And don't worry, I'm okay. My Anusara teacher is used to having her students experience "emotional releases" in her class and feels as if she's done her job when they occur. And what was evoked by the film and left on that mat has allowed me to put things that needed to rest into the grave they need to go to. And from them, what's been born is thus far is beautiful.
"The soul of an artist can't be understood, you can't even try." – Art Hard
The quotes that moved me are interwoven into my story. I am not going to tell you about the film because I don't want to ruin the experience you may have with it. But here is what I will do, I will send one of our readers the film. It's worth being shared, so simply by leaving a comment that answers the following questions below, you can get a copy of ART HARD courtesy of Anthropologie. Myself, Marguerite, Laura and Nazgul will pick the answer that moves us the most and send it your way to have your own experiences.
What does art mean to you? How do you define creativity?
Dear Macala,
Many thanks for sharing this personal experience, it feels real & authentic! It touched me!
In (my) today's (fashion)world it's all about efficiency and playing it safe… about holding on to what we have achieved. Fear freezes our management….and control is their answer.
Art is for me the complete opposite, Art is space, art is freedom, art is personal, art caries energy, art inspires! Art creates opportunities!
To create Art, we need space & creativity!
Creativity can grow on many different grounds….sometimes it's about limiting your space, sometimes the complete opposite.
Creativity to me is thinking outside the box, about creating space, about smart solutions…creativity has many faces.
Although we might live on different continents….I truly believe we share a common awareness…and that it is no coincidence that I ran into this article.
Again many thanks for sharing!
Art is the product of creativity, and creativity is the unique gift that every individual can give to the world around him or her. Those that claim to not be creative (I think) are stymied by something (fear, laziness, boredom, rules, etc. etc.). I find that that more creative an individual the more I likable (I personally) find them and the more likely that they will change their world for the better. So, to me, creativity is everything.
This is a giant question, of course. Kudos for initiating the discussion. I've always been a huge fan of art, but then I've always been curious, hungry for new experiences, eager to explore things that I have not seen before.
The two exhibits that awakened the feeling you speak of within me were the Jose Bedia exhibit at the Fowler Museum at UCLA (http://www.fowler.ucla.edu/exhibitions/transcultural-pilgrim-bedia) and the Anri Sala exhibit at the Serpentine Gallery in London (http://www.serpentinegallery.org/2011/03/anri_sala.html). Both exhibits took me out of my fast-paced, pop culture social media news feed mentality and connected me to a timeless beauty, reminded me that life is fleeting and beautiful and meaningless and meaningful and most importantly should be lived, not fettered away on b.s.
A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.
- Albert Camus
I also love Anthropology because of it's creative spirit. I am an artist and the owner of a now closed boutique specializing in Fine European Linens and Couture. Finding my way still. I had a post on what I believe it is to be an artist. I hope you read it: http://lisalinenlady.blogspot.com/2009/06/on-being-sucessful-artist.html

Thanks to Sean Guillory at Sean's Russia Blog for alerting me, via twitter, to an absolutely fascinating New York Times article on the increasing success of American fast food restaurants in Russia.
For years, McDonald's, which opened its first restaurant on Pushkin Square in 1990 and generated gigantic lines, was the only American fast-food chain in Russia. McDonald's now operates 279 restaurants in Russia.
But other chains are flocking in. Burger King has opened 22 restaurants, mostly in mall food courts, in two years. Carl's Jr. has 17 restaurants in St. Petersburg and Novosibirsk. Wendy's has opened two restaurants including a flagship on Arbat Street in Moscow, and plans 180 throughout Russia by 2020. The Subway sandwich chain has opened about 200 shops in Russia, working through several franchisees. Yum Brands, which owns KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, operates a co-branded chicken restaurant chain in Russia, called Rostik's-KFC, and Il Patio in the Italian food segment. Yum now has about 350 restaurants in Russia.
Paving the way has been Russia's development in many cities of the modern infrastructure needed for fast food to flourish — including malls with food courts, highways with drive-through locations, and specialty suppliers of frozen foods and packaging.
That last bit is the part that I want to focus on. Lost in all of the discussion about Medvedev's high-profile, and largely ineffective, efforts at state-directed "modernization" is the fact that Russia has, quietly, slowly, and with absolutely no fanfare, become a much more recognizably "modern" country than it was just twenty years ago. In 1990, McDonalds was such a bizarre, unusual, and noteworthy attraction that Muscovites, i.e. residents of the nation's wealthiest and most dynamic city, found it perfectly normal to wait in line for hours hoping to get a chance to sample low-end burgers and fries.
I'm wary of engaging in Thomas Friedmanesque cliche, by no means do I think that the increasing success of Western restaurants in Russia says everything we need to know about the country, but just to try and understand how utterly different Russia was under communism, let's take quick a look at Time magazine's article from the opening of that first McDonald's:
The biggest problem has been dealing with the Soviet ministries, which still adhere to rigid regulations in doling out precious supplies. Explains Cohon: "When we need more sand or gravel for building and go to the department in charge, they say, 'Sorry, you're not in my five-year plan.' "
The first Moscow-based restaurant will deal in rubles, a shrewd strategy that is expected to attract local customers, who have grown increasingly impatient at seeing quality products on sale for foreign currency only. But because rubles are not readily convertible to foreign currency, McDonald's will have to find ways to take home some of its Soviet profits. As a result, McDonald's will open another Moscow restaurant next year in which foreign customers can pay for their food in hard currency only
I don't want to minimize the difficulties of doing business in today's Russia (one of the entrepreneurs in the NYT article is quoted as saying ""I could succeed in my sleep there is so much opportunity here" which seems almost comically hubristic and arrogant) but two of the worst problems that McDonalds first experienced when it came to Russia, the inflexibility of government ministries due to pervasive shortages and the existence of a non-convertible currency with an arbitrarily set value, no longer exist.
So although the Russian construction market is legendarily corrupt, and although prices are far higher than they would be in a more competitive and transparent market, goods are actually allocated through prices and not purely through administrative fiat. So if you are an entrepreneur who wants to buy concrete to use in a new fast food restaurant, you don't have to go to the construction ministry and plead for special inclusion in "the plan," you can simply buy the materials from a supplier without having to involve the government at all.
The same can be said about currency. The Soviet ruble's value was entirely arbitrary – it was worth what Gosplan said it was worth. There was no legal way to trade Soviet rubles at their "real" (i.e. non-fixed) value, so currency exchange had to be severely restricted by the state and only tiny amounts of money could be converted to other currencies at any one time. The ability to exchange currency was overwhelmingly a prerogative of the elite, as was shopping in special stores that only accepted such "hard" currencies.
Only by resorting to the black market, where the ruble usually traded at values 5-6 times less than its official rate, could people freely get access to hard currency. Now while the Russian government still heavily intervenes in currency markets and is far from a paragon of laisez faire, the ruble is fully convertible. Thus if the Russian government wants to "defend" the ruble against pressure for devaluation, as it did during the worst period of the 2008-09 crisis when the price of oil temporarily crashed, it has to do this by spending accumulated foreign reserves. And having walked through Moscow where it is impossible to go more than a block without seeing signs blaring "Обмен валюты" with the latest dollar-ruble and Euro-ruble rates, I can testify that Russians are not being prohibited from currency exchange by the dead hand of the state.

The gold iPhone 5S
There are a bunch of rumors and speculation making the rounds about Apple adding gold to the color options for the upcoming iPhone 5s. I've heard the same thing, but probably from different sources. I joked about it yesterday, saying we might soon have Threepio Gold to add to the existing Vader Black and Storm Trooper White lineup. But beyond rumors, speculation, and jokes - and even a gold iPhone 5s poll we ran - I find myself thinking about the idea a lot today.
For years, when it came to the high end, Apple has been a black and white company, and sometimes even black and white/aluminium was one too many options for them. Sure, the iMac under Steve Jobs had some positively psychedelic color variants, and less expensive products like iPods have been chromatic for generations, recently including the iPod touch. But a gold iPhone?
According to our own Ally Kazmucha, who's no stranger to the process, gold is among the easiest colors to anodize onto an iPhone. It involves simple chemical reaction, with the possible addition of dye depending on the exact color they want to produce. (True black, conversely, is the hardest, and takes the most time, which is likely why we currently have "slate" instead.)
So, technologically, it wouldn't be hard for Apple to make a gold iPhone. But commercially, what would be the motivation?
Given how popular gold is as an aftermarket option for color-treatments, and how many gold cases there are - including but certainly not limited to the Asian markets - it could simply be the decision to offer supply where there's demand.
It could also be the iPhone 5s problem, where Apple is facing another year where their current cycle means internal rather than external changes, in a world where competitive pressures have never been higher. Given the ignorant boring comments Apple had to endure after introducing the completely re-built iPhone 5 last year, gold would give the market the superficial appearance of change they seem to crave.
In that light, introducing a third color option, one that's incredibly easy to produce, to outwardly jazz up what's otherwise amazing but completely under-the-hood improvements at least makes a certain amount of strategic sense. But a gold iPhone?
Suggesting Steve Jobs, under whose watch the Blue Dalmatian and Flower Power iMacs were unleashed, would never have allowed for a gold iPhone is clearly ridiculous, as tying it to any stream of illogic that links it to Apple is doomed journalism.
However you analyze it, if Apple is indeed preparing to release a gold iPhone 5s, it would be a change in strategy and it would be different than what they've done before. Then again, so would be releasing a less-expensive iPhone 5c.
I wasn't sure what I'd think of the iPhone 4, nor the composite black/slate and white/silver iPhone 5 when they first leaked. I'm not sure what I'd think of the gold iPhone now. But I do think I'm beginning to understand why it might exist, and why there's smoke enough to fire up all these rumors.
Update 1: There's an image circulating that's getting covered as a gold iPhone casing leak. It looks wrong, and according to our own Ally Kazmucha, who again knows her iPhone anodizing inside and out, it doesn't come across as a legit Apple part. Could be a test of some sort at best, a fake or knock off at worst.
Update 2: Image updated to be less intense, which is more accurate.
Update 3: Here's an iPhone 5 re-anodized in gold (after-market) for comparison's sake.
Update 4: MG Siegler of TechCrunch, Mark Gurman of 9to5Mac, and John Paczowski of AllThingsD have also now reported that Apple will be releasing a gold iPhone 5s. Ben Bajarin of Tech.pinions has also been looking more into the Chinese market and concept of phones as jewelry.

The gold iPhone 5S
If it's tastefully done it will go down everywhere. I needs to be quite pale; not yellow gold.
I like the mockup above. It's very AnoStyle-like and not gaudy like I had imagined a gold colored iPhone looking. AnoStyle & Apple need to contract together to give us the color options right out of the gate. That would be cool!
Maybe it's not just limited to gold? I would love to be able to pick a color for my iPhone 5S. It sure would make my wife a lot more excited about a new iPhone too.
I think it will be more of a champaign color that you see in some car models, I never much liked the chrome back to the old iPods (I remember looking at them then looking at the perfect aluminum of the mac books and thought the latter was the better choice) and it really can't be any worse then that. The white one looks very platinum to me so in that way as well it wont look too off from what they've done before.
I agree with Digitalrex that it's more likely to be a champagne than a true gold. Actually, my hunch is that, given Jony Ive's fixation with authenticity in design, this color won't be the result of anodization but will actually represent a different casing material, specifically a magnesium alloy. Magnesium is even lighter than aluminum and tends to take on this sort of tan/gold patina. The weight savings from Mg would be pretty small in a phone, but would be noticeable in bigger devices like iPads and MacBooks.
It'll likely be champagne coloured aluminium if Ive hasn't had a lobotomy.
I don't foresee that Apple is going to release anything revolutionary with the next phone. If they don't, I think many current power users will move to something like the Galaxy S4. Bottom line, Apple needs to WOW us. iOS7 doesn't do it and neither does a fingerprint reader. I do think they may counteract any loss of power users by perhaps inserting a lower end phone which would get more of the low hanging fruit that is now on some of the more mundane models of Android.
Good riddance to them. We need less wow in our lives and more products that are designed well, well made and reliable.
I agree with you. All this make a next 'wow' device that translated to consumer and media speak means gimmicky is not the kind of Apple I want. Really how vital is a feature that when I turn my head the video stops playing? How about a battery that lasts a full work day. That would make me truly happy. Now that takes some work and innovation. The last thing Apple needs IMO is buckling to all this 'doom' crap. If there were going to introduce something that might please a lot of trolls would be a bigger screen on the iPhone. I am chomping at the bit to finally get my hands on the 5. I am on the S cycle. Four inches does look better than 3.5".
If gold is a gimmick then we don't need it. Unless you find some plastic see through case won't it get covered up anyhow?
you can all gold (or any other color) phones that look better than that by third parties. What's with the white?
It also looks like urine more than gold. If you're gonna go gold don't be a wuss, commit. I don't want gold but if you gonna get flashy commit.
color as a new feature is a sure sign that innovation has run dry, and yes, that mockup makes the iPhone looks like it was soaked in urine.
That said, I certainly haven't heard of a big demand of people wanting different color iPhones (probably since most of them get slapped into a case)
You're a moron.
You obviously don't no a thing about marketing to a target audience.
Every teen girl and mom will want to upgrade to a color phone.
orly? So you're of the belief color phones are top sellers? You are probably the dummy who thought the Lumia phone would sell well and the same for the MotoX. How about the iPod Touch? Color certainly helped boost sales there didn't it? Oh wait.
I bet that the Lumia would have sold a lot less if it was only available in Black and White. Even so many carriers only had limited colors, a problem Apple will face less because their stores can stock the whole range.
The Moto X isn't even for sale yet, a little early to make any judgment if the colors help or not.
As for the iPod Touch if you don't understand why it's sales would decline anyway, colors or not, well... you're the dummy.
yeah, and I was the one who bought Apple and held and made money.
I only buy Apple products wouldn't even consider anything else.
Probably you didn't mean to but that's a pretty trashy sexist thing to say. How about just saying that lots of *people* will want a coloured phone instead of just making it a girlie thing. If you think for even a nanosecond before commenting, you'd realise this is true and that Apple wouldn't be so stupid as to make a phone that only appeals to one half of the population. It would be business suicide.
Personally, my only problem with the coloured iPhone 5c is the colours they have chosen. First of all there is no black or grey, (my faves other than white), secondly, there is no option for simple secondary colours like orange and purple. There is a green, but it's neither standard green, nor electric green, but something in between. There are also no neons at all like neon pink and no blue-greens which are some of the most popular colours on the planet.
I think if Apple is going to do a cheap coloured iPhone they should let you get it in any colour you want, just like the cases that people buy, that they now won't need anymore.
I think it's quite obvious what's going on here. Apple is going to announce a partnership with Nintendo. This is just the Legend of Zelda special edition iPhone.
Xerxes promised his mighty legions "GOLD" phone for all my faithful in exchange for land and water!!!!!!!!!!
A (PRODUCT) RED iPhone would be a great idea. They already have a (RED) iPod, so why not?
If it looks like that (as shown in the photo), then no thanks, I'd never buy it. Too "loud" and ostentatious for me. Rappers and some billionaires in Dubai might dig it. But if it's more of a subtle, lighter, champagne gold, like some of the old Marantz or Sony ES-series high-end stereo components, I think it would look nice and classy.
I would Totally Rock a Gold iPhone5S in my house I'm not going outside in less Apple care is going to cover lost are Stolen.
Sent from the iMore App
Thats embarrassing.
A gold iPhone might matter to those who want to make a fashion statement, but it doesn't matter if Apple makes one or not. If so, then great. If not, doesn't Ally do that for a fee? So either way, if you want a gold iPhone 5S, you can get one. But in the grand scheme of things, would the appearance of a Gold iPhone 5S sell more iPhones or would people just see it as a pointless gimmick and be unimpressed?
If true, this will lend more credence to why people continue to say that Apple isn't innovating.
This is so Anostyle like. I guess Anostyle is working with Apple, they don't tweet much this days. Lol! Just saying :P
Apple has a massive pile of cash outside the US and is under a lot of pressure to do something with it. Could they convert it to bullion overseas, import it as truly gold parts of products, and then avoid paying taxes on the cash they're effectively repatriating to the US? That would require them to strip the gold off or something after it was imported. But what a trick.
I stand by my previous assertions that we're all getting worked up for nothing. I believe these colored cases, even the mid-tier '5C,' are entirely bogus. Something smells of 'too convenient' in these leaks. No one correctly predicted the iPhone 5's redesign last year. They may have guessed a feature or two, but thats it. Apple cant switch up release cycles? Fourth-generation iPad, anyone? If I'm wrong come fall, I'll admit it gladly; if I'm right, I might gloat a bit, especially considering how many bloggers have presented these rumors as inevitabilities. Regarding this gold monstrosity, did it occur to anyone that anodized color is already available as an aftermarket service, and someone just had an iPhone 5 case done and took a few pictures of it? Of course not. That would be deceitful, and people just aren't deceitful, right?
I guess we shall see. I'm also not bothering to speculate on moves Apple hasn't actually made yet, so I guess we both have our own approach to wasting time. Also, simply dismissing my thoughts as dreaming or denial rather than retorting with reasons I might be wrong is rather lazy, don't you think?
Yeah, sorry for the quick and empty retort.
It just seems crazy at this point to say that all the leaks we've seen so far are fake though. It would have to be a conspiracy of pretty large proportions for the 5c to not be real. And we are so close to release ... where are the leaks of what they *are* doing?
That's just it - I don't think anyone really has insight, and the forgers are having a field day, knowing full well the tech world will jump on (and subsequently write about) anything without reasonable skepticism. This gold phone is, as I see it, nothing more than a 5 with a gold anodised treatment, something anyone can pay to do for a fee, but here goes the techies trying to figure out 'what it all means.' The 5C is also an easy fake, should someone bother to try hard enough. Critical thinking has been absolutely supplanted with wild, baseless speculation, and that's just kind of sad.
Alright, then. By your assessment, I'm in denial. Since that's a rather personal judgement, I'm sure you won't mind when I reply in kind when all of these rumours are shown to be dead wrong in the coming months.
i think this would turn out to me a nice looking iphone
Ally's mockup looks more like the parts leaks we've seen of "gold" sim trays and the like and is much more attractive than any aftermarket gold phones we've seen or the pictures that were circulating yesterday. I'm glad that if Apple is doing a gold phone that it will be more tasteful than other gold products we've seen.
Personally, I think it's hard to argue against the "gold==tacky" thing, but Apple has done tacky things before as Rene points out in the article. Leopard print is the epitome of tacky-ness and Steve Jobs loved it.
I suppose a lot of "gangsta" types will love this phone. I'm sure "RiRi" will buy one and post a selfie of her giving everyone the middle finger on it. :-)
Is it all possible the gold is an undercoat or something? That the leaked part was pre-painting black or white?
Anodising doesn't work like that, so no.
Wow...! Before I thought that gold iPhone will be a piece of shit... but damn, its look beautiful with white stripes!
It has been said before. China (as well as many other cultures.) China is a huge and possibly most important overseas market with the most upside right now and iPhone is not leading right now. Chinese love them some gold! Anecdotal, but Chinese and Persians apparently identify gold with wealth and prosperity and not at all goutiness. If there is to be a "cheap" iPhone 5C for the less wealthy (or "lower to and middle class",) they need to make the iPhone 5S a "premium" (since it'll be a premium price.) It's the gold Mercedes (if you will.) The black and white can serve as this, yes, but gold may be more successful as the premium product in some areas. Most recently spending time with some Persians over the weekend, I noticed that just about anything they can get in gold or gold finish (like sunglasses, hardware on handbags, etc.) they prefer.
So it's a cultural thing. Where as Americans (and I assume Canadians) might see it as gauti, other cultures do not.
I would venture to guess that if Gold is in fact a reality, it will not even be sold in the US.
Why are all the mockup pictures 2-tone, white and champagne? I think Apple needs to make the glass the same subtle champagne color as the anodized metal in order for it to look as classy and elegant as the existing iPhones. A 2-tone colored iPhone wouldn't fit into Apple's new flatter leaner design elements and would degrade the high-end perception that Apple devices have.
PALEEZE! I need anyone who thinks that gold would only do well in "certain markets" to log into Instagram and search #selfie. After you check the number of uploads under that tag I want you to come back to this article and realize that we are talking about a GOLDEN IPHONE! It's going to sell [out] everywhere IF it comes out bottom line. There are too many vain men and women in every culture in every country here in the 21st century. If a gold iPhone comes out this year I'm buying it ASAP! And I don't even take #selfies. Although I do have one for my twitter account... Sorry. #hypocrite
i love iphone 5s it is amazing!!! it seems so cool is especially the home button, and ios 7 is the best ever it loads in less than 2 seconds! i want one pls i have always wanted one i beg u !!!!!!!!!!! i will be so happy if i get 1 and that will be the best gift ever!!!! plus apple has got the best products you can ever have and imore is amazing with everything! and imore and apple will always be the best i have ever seen!!!!!!!
Well I have the Gold iPhone 5S & it looks absolutely fantastic. I also have have the new white iPad Air with its crome highly polished edge it looks fat!!!! :-D I'm just angry that Apple hasn't done a gold iPad Air & no touch ID but, the 5s is still fantastic & Apple have had a lot of I'm Improvements over the iPhone 5.

With this Beta version of CONTENIDO 4.9 the goals of making planned changes to the base system and to finish them were largely achieved. Above all we encapsulated PEAR and conlib classes from CONTENIDO and ported them to other classes respectively rewrote them into new classes. You'll find the developers document of changes between the last test version and Beta 1 here. Other documents: changes of versions Alpha 1, Alpha 2, Alpha 3.
Especially on the technical side considerable changes have been made to lay a foundation for future work on RC 1. The restructuring of classes and features are finished for the time being. Nevertheless we do not fully exclude minor changes. Some of the most important technical changes are the new Plug-In Manager, the new URL Shortener Plug-In and the extended Exception Handling. The mi18n feature now supports multiple variables, which have to be replaced in the string. Furthermore these module translations have to truly exist. There will be no fallback to the Translation-Identifier, when there is no translation available. The database table con_phplib_auth_user_md5 was renamed to con_user. For the purpose of debugging it will be possible to deactivate Plug-In system and the Chain system seperately. From now on Chains are no longer pseudo plug-ins but are integrated directly into the sartup.
From now on the setup routine only consists of the "Installation" and "Upgrade" option. When checking system compatability you can now press a "Reload" button, if you failed the previous check. Instead of having to go back and send it again, it will reload and check again instantly. Because installation is fully done through backend setting the "sysadmin" password and email adress replaces the choice of plug-ins. We enhanced password encryption by Salt and a better algorithm as a long overdue security measure. Existing passwords will automatically be converted and will remain valid.
The visual side went too several changes as well. The system log and mail log was moved to "Administration" - "Logs". Further we offer now a Drag&Drop feature for categories.We removed the empty frame on the left at the tagging-plugin (Content Allocation) to provide more space for the trees. If you have a multi client installation, it is now possible to switch clients in the header at any point in backend. Articles can now be tagged as searchable/indexable. Administrators can now rerun system check from the setup for the current installation from backend.
A complete list of changes can be found in the changelog which comes with the download package.
It is planned to release another RC version before the final version 4.9.0. The release date depends on the amount of feedback and testing process, therefore we cannot fix a specific date.
Important release notes:
We would be pleased if you rank among our testers and share your experience in the forums.
We created a new sub forums for the new version branch. There you can exchange with other users.
Further information on the new version can be found in the CONTENIDO forum in this thread.

When down 216K equals down 265K
Posted By Michael Symons On September 4, 2009 @ 2:45 pm In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
The latest national employment data [1] released today shows that the number of nonfarm jobs in the nation dropped by 216,000 in August — certainly not good, but the smallest decline in a year.
However, the number of jobs in the country is simultaneously being pegged at 265,000 fewer than the number announced a month earlier for the end of July.
Each month, in addition to announcing the new jobs data, officials revise their estimates for the two previous months. This is common, happens every month — sometimes the numbers go up, often they go down. This month, the loss in jobs for June was padded by another 20,000, and the loss in July (subject to further revision in a month) was boosted by another 29,000.
We'll know whether those those revisions affect the New Jersey numbers when new monthly data is released Sept. 16. Last month's results — a net gain in jobs powered by a 13,000 gain in private sector jobs offsetting a roughly 7,000 dip in public employment — was a sharp departure from recent trends and a source of immediate assistance for recession-battered Democrats on the campaign trail.

I'm of great hope that Mr. Davis cuts spending to take the tax burden off of property owners.
I agree with the above, STAFF will put on a pretty face but don't trust them. You are the elected leader, it's time to make some hard decisions. The union lackey's of public sector employees care only about their bloated benefits packages at our expense.
Mr. Davis, time to cut some fat out of Volusia County.

Lyon midfielder Clement Grenier has indicated he is unlikely to sign for Newcastle United before Friday's transfer deadline, reports Chronicle Live.
The midfielder was the subject of a bid from Alan Pardew's side, with the Magpies keen to bring in a replacement for Yohan Cabaye.
Cabaye has completed a move to Paris St Germain, leaving Pardew searching for a replacement creative midfielder before the close of the transfer window.
But the Lyon star refused to give much away, indicating a move to St James' Park this month appeared unlikely.
Speaking at the Lions Of Sport Awards tonight he said: "I haven't got a lot to say on that subject.
"I'm not aware of Newcastle negotiations.
"I have lots of objectives and I need to achieve them with Lyon this year.
"I can nearly say I'm not going to Newcastle."
Pardew may yet respond with another bid for the French midfielder, or turn his attentions elsewhere.
The Magpies are keen to replace Cabaye with a quality midfielder, with the Frenchman having been their stand out performer of the season, scoring seven Premier League goals.

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
Arsenal and Liverpool are set to battle it out for former Chelsea striker Salomon Kalou.
The Premier League giants both expressed an interest in the Lille forward in the January transfer window but were put off by the French club's asking price.
But both Brendan Rodgers and Arsene Wenger remain fans of the 28-year-old, and according to the Daily Star, will make a fresh move this summer.
The Ivory Coast international struggled for goals in his first spell in the Premier League but has blossomed in France and, crucially, would accept the role of being a squad player.
Rodgers is keen to add depth to his squad ahead of his side's Champions League campaign and reckons Kalou fits the bill perfectly, while Wenger wants to add another striker to take the weight off Olivier Giroud's shoulders.
The striker looked tired towards the end of the season and the Gunners boss is keen to ensure the forward is adequately supported next term.

Ellenbecker, Sylvester D.
Sylvester "Skip" D. Ellenbecker 73, Wausau died Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at Aspirus Wausau Hospital.
He was born October 17, 1939 in Wausau son of Sylvester T. and Hattie (Rodman) Ellenbecker.
Skip was the eldest of 16 children growing up on the family farm south of Athens in the Town of Wuertzburg. After completion of high school he worked for approximately 10 years in construction. He started Ellenbecker Construction in 1968 consisting of two employees, specializing in brick and block masonry foundations and flat concrete jobs.
He relocated his business after the second year to the junction of Hwy 29 and 97 for convenience and better business exposure. By 1972, Skip became the CEO of his newly incorporated business, changed it's name to S.D. Ellenbecker, Inc. He employed 15 people and gradually changed the company's focus to include commercial and farm construction projects. Currently the company employs 40 full-time and seasonal employees and completes jobs across the United States.
His passion was construction but he always dreamed of opening a restaurant. His dream came true four years ago when he became an investor in the now successful Red Eye Brewing Company. He was especially fond of testing the new microbrews and critiquing the seafood entrees.
At age 39, Skip met his wife, T in Tomahawk where he owned a cottage on Lake Nokomis. He proposed to her on Valentine's Day 1980. They were married in Tomahawk at St. Mary's Church on June 5th, 1981. They raised their two children in Tomahawk, commuting to work in Wausau. In 1991 they relocated to the Wausau area.
As a young man, Skip was a baseball catcher for Mason Lanes in Athens following in his father and mother's footsteps. The whole family being sports enthusiasts, they participated in and attended baseball, softball, football and wrestling over the years. He was an avid bowler. Many days were spent at their cottage on Lake Nokomis fishing, boating, and entertaining family and friends. He fancied himself a grill master. He loved to travel by plane, car, and motorhome or take cruises to visit with family and friends. And, for the last ten years they traveled back and forth to Arizona with their faithful friends, Buster, Petey Paw and Herman Bear.
He was a member of the Wausau
Elks Club
since 1981, a member of the Associated Builders and Contractors for 32 years, a member of the National Federation of Independent Business Owners for 15 years and a Chamber of Commerce member for the last 12 years. He served on the Board of Directors and a VIP fundraiser for Easter Seals Wisconsin.
Skip was a respected member of the community, a man of integrity and generosity, loved by family and friends and will be missed by all.
Skip is survived by his wife Theodora (T), two children, John (Michelle), Schofield; Ann, Portland; two grandchildren Miranda and Garrett. His mother Hattie, Athens;
Eight brothers: Rodney (Eileen), Kenneth (Nancy), David (Judy), Thomas (Linda), William (Mary), Gerard (Marlene), Daniel (Julie), and Dean (Angie) all from Athens. Seven sisters: Mary Brown, Pocahontas, AR, Shirley (Ferdinand), Athens, Teresa (John) Heier, Athens; Susie, Athens; Judy Drexler, Stratford; Ann (Larry) Weigand, Athens and Lori (Dale) Gajewski, Edgar. Three godchildren: nephew Jonathan Heier, Athens; cousin James Watkins, San Diego, CA; nephew Hannah Ellenbecker, Athens.
Skip was preceded in death by his father, two brothers-in-law Carl Brown and Jerry Drexler.
The funeral mass will be celebrated at Noon Weds. February 20, 2013 at St. Matthew Catholic Church, Wausau. Rev. Robert Thorn will preside. Burial will be in Oak Hill Cemetery, Tomahawk. Friends may call on Tuesday from 4:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at the Peterson/Kraemer Funeral Home, 3400 Stewart Avenue, Wausau and again on Weds. from 10:00 a.m. until the time of services at the church. Online condolences may be expressed at
