Are these going to be for sale? Or are they the only ones of their kind?
These were custom pieces made for a client, but if you would like something similar I can certainly make you one/some!
Hmm maybe. How fragile are those dragon eye pieces.?
As fragile as any other pocket watch. You don't want to go slamming it around but they hold up fairly well if you are nice to them.
I was talking about the fragility of the eye alone. Also, what color choices of the eye do you have?
It's solid glass. I have dropped a few of them and they haven't broken but sometimes they will chip if dropped hard.
I also have any color you want
I also have any color you want
Awesome. How do you do your designs? Do people request things that are specific or do they just give you a general idea of what they want and you improvise accordingly?
For watches, they usually give me the colors of the eye that they want and if they want an alternate color of wire I can do that too. If they want more or less swirls, is it a masculine or feminine watch etch. Then I go from there.
Other pieces can be more or less collaborative depending on what we are doing

Re: Bulger contract questions and info
It wouldn't hurt my feelings to see Bulger hold out of a couple TC sessions. The FO will certinally get him locked up to a deal then.

Re: Bulger contract questions and info
znrd, i dont know how many contracts you have negotiated in your day, but based on what i do every single day in my job, contract negotiations DO take a while. They rarely are easy to accomplish because the devil is in the details.
I dont think that the rams are any better or worse than anyone else in terms of how long it takes them to get deals done with their players. Pisa and Little got locked up last year. Warner, Faulk and Bruce were all locked up long term without animosity or difficulty. Holt was locked up without a holdout. We may not agree with some of the guys that the rams have let walk over the years, but when it comes to most of the big stars of the team, such as bulger, the rams have found a way to get it done. Note also that once the impossible postons were off the case, Pace was locked up in short order.

Re: Bulger contract questions and info
I put no stock in the RotoWorld report. Its the NFL off-season where the entire NFL media industry has nothing to talk about, yet must still fill their pages and airtime with something anyway. Since you can only talk about how genius the Wes Welker move is so many times, they ask the kind of leading questions shot at Bulger and then treat it like news. Once you recognize that these guys just *need* something to report, this shouldn't bother you. If Marc says in the media, "Things aren't going well...." then you should get concerned.

Re: I am starting to scratch my head on Bulger
I think sometimes fans get frustrated when certain negotiations linger and they mistakenly presume that the other 31 teams in the league don't have the exact same problem. Look at last year's "Final 4." The Colts still haven't locked up Freeney. The Patriots have a potential holdout in Assante Samuel. The Bears haven't resolved the Lance Briggs issue. The Saints could be facing a future holdout by Will Smith.
As gc said, its not so easy to iron out the details of a contract. Heck, I've had cases that took longer to agree on the settlement agreement than they did to litigate. Just the nature of the beast sometimes.
The bottome line is that Bulger seems to want to be a Ram, and the Rams apparently want Bulger. They'll work it out.

Re: Bulger contract questions and info
I apologize in advance if I have this wrong.
Last night as I was channel surfing between the MLB Allstar game and the NFL Network. I caught the end of the Bulger interview. I could have sworn that someone said the Bulger was looking for Top 5 (QB) money. I can't remember if it was Bulger that said it or maybe it was Marshall Faulk??? Anyway, that could one of the issues that's holding up the contract agreement.

Re: Bulger contract questions and info
Totally agree, 100%. A Pro Bowl caliber, solid, strong-stats QB we have in MB whom, indeed, deserves a contract that matches his skills and attributes. I think he -- quietly -- is looking forward to a great season this year (as do I) and winning is deeply embedded in his mind.
Any day now, the Rams FO will come through and everyone will move on to the next 2007 agenda priority.

Re: Bulger contract questions and info
I certainly hope its simply a case, as someone stated previously, of Zygmunt going about the process quietly and out of the public eye. Nonetheless, let me add my voice to the chorus of 'Lets get him Signed' PLEASE!

Re: Bulger contract questions and info
I reminds readers that the negotiations on past players such as Holt, Little, Faulk, Bruce etc. seldom saw much at all as far as progress before the deals were announced.
The Rams Jay Zygmunt is an attorney, among other things, and he never leaks negotiations stuff as a ploy like some GMS etc have done. Bulger's agent, Tom Condon, is one of the best, and is a true professional in how he does his job as well, so you probably won't see leaks from that side either.
The Rams no doubt will get Bulger as well as Steven Jackson, their other key player to be extended, done in time. Right now they are busy working on their draft picks, and I expect when those are done, things will heat up on Bulger very quickly.
They know what the numbers are going to be in the end, at least what Brees got from New Orleans last year, perhaps a bit more, but around that figure on a long term deal.
The Rams have the money and the cap room, and Linehan loves Bulger, so he isn't about to let his tenure go downhill because he loses his key offensive guy.
That's why I say to ignore whatever rumors you hear, because they are not coming from Marc, Zygmunt, or Condon, so mostly they are just guesses from "insiders" looking to sell themselves.
Marc did not seem overly concerned that a deal will get done in his Sirius radio interview, so why should fans get their panties in a bunch? It's a waste of time.Barry Waller

Re: Bulger contract questions and info
Look at this holistically, if you will. Within the transaction parties, we have two members (Zygmunt and Condon) who have shown a healthy relationship. However, one party (Zygmunt) is known for being fiscally conservative, and another (Condon) with a history of scoring big number contracts for his high performance clients. Those are polar opposite starting points which lend themselves to a slow-moving merging that may take a while. The relationship between the two would lend itself to an amicable process that didn't spill into the media.....ala Poston / Rosenhaus, or Boras in the baseball world.
If Bulger didn't want to be here, we'd know it. True holdouts make it pretty apparent by this point. Bulger just saying "I'm not ruling it out." is exactly that.....not ruling it out. As AV mentioned, "ruling it out" only hurts his cause. Saying "there's no way I'm holding out" is the same as flushing money down the toilet.
The deal will happen someday.......just not today.

Re: Bulger contract questions and info
don't worry your pretty little heads about it , his new contract might not be done by training camp , as all would like . BULGER is the man , he know's it , the team knows it , the office know's it , because GOD ALMIGHTY said it to be so . he will be in uniform this year , with a new contract in hand that will let him be the last qb ike bruce receives a pass from , will be the qb that leads the rams back to the top of the division and back to regular playoff apperances . we have not even signed our top two draft picks yet . buy the tickets , buy the #10 jersey's , get a tattoo , BULGER will be in uniform , not fishing , waiting for a contract , while HIS TEAM , is working tward their goals on the field without him . WRITE IT DOWN .

Re: I am starting to scratch my head on Bulger
At least in the past, one thing that slowed it down was structure. Everyone I listed except Holt initially turned down a major Rams deal. They had to go back to the drawing board in each case. (Only one DIDN'T go back...Carter. But that's because he took his issues public.) In each case it wasn't the amount that was the problem, it was the structure. Percent backloaded, percent guaranteed, that kind of thing. If you forced me to guess I would say one reason the Rams are a bit slower than most is because they have to be careful with upfront money. How much they actually give a guy in year one (bonuses, guarantees). I suspect that's because they are in the bottom 4th of the league in revenues. So they can't be quite as free with cash upfront.

Are You There, Margaret? It's Me, Sarah.
Sarah Palin appears determined to secure an audience with former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher. Eager to explore how much the two have in common, we thought we'd contrast some of their most famous statements.
Sarah Palin and Margaret Thatcher both hold iconic status in the hearts of conservatives. That the two are in the same league is not immediately obvious. One was Britain's first female prime minister from 1979 to 1990, a self-styled "Iron Lady" who is credited with helping to defeat communism. The other was born nearly half a century later in Sandpoint, Idaho; was part of a U.S. presidential ticket that went down in flames in 2008; and resigned as Alaska governor barely halfway through her term so she could switch to the lucrative media circuit.
Still, Palin—who may harbor hopes of a 2012 White House run—appears determined to connect herself to Thatcher. Via her Facebook page, she has confirmed British newspaper reports that she is in discussions to arrange an audience with one of her political heroines during a potential visit across the Atlantic. If so, she would follow in the footsteps of previous Republican presidential contenders, including Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, and Mitt Romney, who have all stopped in for a cup of tea and a photo op.
The only catch? Thatcher, 86, suffers from dementia. On bad days, according to her daughter, Carol, she can hardly remember the beginning of a sentence by the time she gets to the end. As The Guardian's Martin Kettle observed delicately, "a Palin-Thatcher meeting has a sort of marketing inevitability, although the ignorance of the one and the infirmity of the other mean that two public figures with a shakier grip on what is going on the world would be hard to find."
Eager to explore how much Palin and Thatcher have in common, and in the spirit of good fun, we thought we'd contrast some of their most famous statements:
Thatcher: "I like Mr Gorbachev. We can do business together." —Interview with BBC television, Dec. 17, 1984
Palin: "As Putin rears his head and comes into the airspace of the United States of America, where—where do they go? It's Alaska." —Interview with CBS's Katie Couric, Sept. 24, 2008
Thatcher: "This lady is not for turning." —To doubters at the Conservative Party conference, Oct. 10, 1980
Palin: "elected is replaceable; Ak WILL progress! + side benefits=10 dys til less politically correct twitters fly frm my fingertps outside State site." —Tweet following her surprise resignation as Alaska governor, July 17, 2009
Thatcher: "It is always important in matters of high politics to know what you do not know. Those who think they know, but are mistaken, and act upon their mistakes, are the most dangerous people to have in charge." —From her book Statecraft: Strategies for a Changing World, 2002, page 104
Palin: "I answered [John McCain] yes because I have the confidence in that readiness and knowing that you can't blink, you have to be wired in a way of being so committed to the mission, the mission that we're on reform of this country and victory in the war you can't blink. So I didn't blink then, even when asked to run as his running mate." —Interview with ABC's Charlie Gibson, Sept. 11, 2008
Thatcher: "I would just like to remember some words of Saint Francis of Assisi which I think are really just particularly apt at the moment. Where there is discord, may we bring harmony. Where there is error, may we bring truth. Where there is doubt, may we bring faith. And where there is despair, may we bring hope." —On winning the 1979 general election, May 4, 1979
Palin: "How's that hopey-changey stuff workin'+ out for ya? —Addressing the Tea Party convention, Feb. 6, 2010
Thatcher: "Europe in anything other than the geographical sense is a wholly artificial construct. It makes no sense at all to lump together Beethoven and Debussy, Voltaire and Burke, Vermeer and Picasso, Notre Dame and St Paulas, boiled beef and bouillabaisse, and portray them as elements of a Europeana musical, philosophical, artistic, architectural or gastronomic reality. If Europe charms us, as it has so often charmed me, it is precisely because of its contrasts and contradictions, not its coherence and continuity." —From Statecraft: Strategies for a Changing World, 2002, page 328
Palin: "You've added a lot of energy to your country with that beautiful family of yours." —To a Canadian radio prankster who tricked her into believing he was French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Nov. 1, 2008
Thatcher: "I could never have been prime minister for more than 11 years without Denis by my side." —From her autobiography, The Path to Power, 1995
Palin: "Divorce Todd? Have you seen Todd? I may be just a renegade hockey mum, but I'm not blind!" —Rebutting rumors, Aug. 2, 2009
Thatcher: "What Britain needs is an iron lady." —Citing the moniker given her by the Soviet newspaper Red Star
Palin: "Thank you so much for showin' up! First stop on the tour. There's just something about Michigan. I couldn't wait to get back to Michigan. Alaska and Michigan have so much in common, with the huntin' and the fishin' and the hockey moms." —Day one of the Going Rogue book tour, Nov. 16, 2009

Pictured, from left, are St Margaret's Hospice shop managers, Donna Stuckey, Claire Roberts, and Janet Dodgson, with the college's Sue Sellick.
BRIDGWATER College has completed a training programme for staff at St Margaret's Hospice shops across Somerset.
Managers, assistant managers and volunteers from 15 of the charity's 24 shops in the county have completed NVQ training in retain management, retail skills and team leading.
A special event was held at the St Margaret's Hospice in Yeovil to mark the end of the training.
Sue Sellick, NVQ trainer at the college, said: "The shops raise over £1 million a year to fund the work of St Margaret's, and they need to be professionally managed and staffed to achieve that incredible target.
"We are delighted to mark the achievement of this group of staff, who have been working particularly hard to complete their qualification.
"We are now looking forward to the assistant managers achieving their NVQs next month."

How is tipping humiliating the tipper??
I believe that tipping is definitely something to be evaluated by service but to not tip on good service is ridiculous.
Cultural differences are possible but my other half has traveled all over, including visiting family (1st gen American) in Ireland and England, and he said, "It's been a bit but I seem to remember tipping at every meal."
Are you sure you're not just really cheap?

And yeah, if I had a horrible waitress I would probably not leave a tip either, it's just never been that bad.
Yeah if service is bad I don't tip. But my friend is a waitress and only makes about $4 an hour so tips are super important. That's more than three dollars less than minimum wage.
Thank you Vivien and Angel Chicken for the siggy! Also I have been frosted!!! And as of 9/13/07 I know the secret handshake!
People tip for some meals but I can guarantee you its not every meal, every restaurant, every time. There is no expectation to tip, and if you do its more a 'you did a good job'. I've also worked in bars that serve food. I wouldn't expect a tip...
People are embarrassed if you shove money at them. If you tip a bar girl you wouldn't just hand her money, you'd suggest she 'took one for herself', ie take a drink yourself, and you'd take a pound or something. You don't make money in tips though,sometimes you'd get none at all.
I find it humiliating tipping, not being tipped. It's usually awkward as people in the UK are quite reserved about money etc. I've tipped a hairdresser before, but they aren't usually prepared for it, so it can be awkward again.
If you want to come over here and tip, no one will complain, but its not necessary and can embarrass sometimes.

$4 an hour!? I'm glad our pays aren't that bad!
I'm glad we don't need to tip in Australia. I guess I don't see a need for it though I can see the tipping helps the people who work and have a bad pay. If I was used to tipping people it wouldn't bother me but not being raised in that life style, I don't think I should have to. I have tipped before when I felt like it but it hardly happens.
I saw this on reddit too (and read that thread)
But ok not leaving any tip is kinda douchy.. but how often does this happen?
Also who are we to judge is this woman NEEDS this money to buy groceries? Maybe a family member was going away and they wanted one nice meal and it went over what they thought (just saying for instance.. there are many instances that I can think of where someone might save up to take family out for a really nice meal)
Posting this on reddit and whining, is just as douchy to me as the person not tipping. So you didn't get one tip. Its not the end of the world. Yes it sucks but you are not guaranteed any tips.
Once, when Hubby and I were dating as teens we had just enough money to get breadsticks, salad and a dessert at the Olive Garden. It was the cheapest 'nice night out' we could do. No we didn't have enough money for a tip.
BUT when we went back next time (and we had a bit more money that time) we saw the waiter we had, and even though he wasn't serving us we called him over. Apolgized for being broke kids and tipped him then.
He was so thrilled we remembered and we could hear him going over to other servers and telling him.
So its awfully douchy to complain over a one time issue.
The author spent a year out on her own living the life of an "unskilled" worker. She worked at Walmart, as a Waitress, a Cleaning woman and others. And tried to live off of her income. Very enlightening!
When you travel you need to check the customs. Most European countries have laws about paying a living wage and tipping is not necessary and even looked down on. Sometimes a small token tip is nice.
"Millions of Americans work full time, year round, for poverty-level wages. In 1998, Barbara Ehrenreich decided to join them. She was inspired in part by the rhetoric surrounding welfare reform, which promised that a job -- any job -- can be the ticket to a better life. But how does anyone survive, let alone prosper, on $6 an hour? To find out, Ehrenreich left her home, took the cheapest lodgings she could find, and accepted whatever jobs she was offered. Moving from Florida to Maine to Minnesota, she worked as a waitress, a hotel maid, a cleaning woman, a nursing-home aide, and a Wal-Mart sales clerk. She lived in trailer parks and crumbling residential motels. Very quickly, she discovered that no job is truly "unskilled," that even the lowliest occupations require exhausting mental and muscular effort. She also learned that one job is not enough; you need at least two if you int to live indoors."
How do you guys feel about tipping at take out places like Little Cesar's (don't know if you have one) where you order at the counter and they hand you a pizza? Or any kind of place where you order at the counter and all they do is bring you the item? They're taking your order, but only walking about 5 steps to get it to you. They're not coming and asking if you want more water or desert. They're not bringing or removing dishes from a table or bringing you condiments. I tip at espresso stands because it takes them a long time to make the Latte or whatever. But I think it's weird to tip someone whose only job it is, is to hand you something from across a counter and take your money. I think it's weird when they have tip jars for that kind of situation. But I have tipped sporadically at those places anyhow.
I've been really embarrassed when I was dating this jerk back in Idaho. He tipped so badly, it wasn't even funny. And he had a ton of money! I'm not talking about a low tip because of poor service. I'm talking about consistently lousy tipping. One place we went to all the time for karaoke and dinner and everyone knew everyone pretty much. When he'd not be watching, I'd sneak the poor waitress a chunk because I was appalled at the 2 or 3 dollars he'd leave on the table. OMG! It wasn't an expensive dinner (he was too cheap for that) but still....the tip was probably about 8 or 10% max. I didn't want to offend him so I'd tip her on the sly. Maybe I should have just done it right in front of him. LOL.

I'm not very good at setting goals.
Short term? Sure – as in I make a list every morning of what I need to get done that day. But as far as New Year's Resolutions, or any sort of life goals, I'm more of a "take things as they come" kind of girl.
But I decided that I need to change that.
There are things that I enjoy. Cooking, of course. My children & family. I probably take 10 times more pictures than the average person.
But I also love to travel. And I don't even know if "travel" is the right word to describe it. Sure, I love to visit new places. But I love to really explore and discover and maybe see a little bit more than is just on the surface. You might remember my first "Destinations" post last October. I only posted 2 destinations before I got too pregnant, and then had a baby, but now I'm back. This is another one of my passions, and I've decided to do something with it.
I was inspired by a post on Mom It Forward. Jyl talked about her goal to visit all 50 states in the US. She had to actually step foot in each state – airports don't count. Right then and there, I knew that I wanted to do the same thing. So I decided to make a goal of it.
I am 35 years old. (Yikes – did I really just admit that to the internet???) And since I couldn't just say "I want to visit all 50 states", I had to give myself an end goal. That is where 50×50 comes into play. 50 states. All by the time I turn 50. I figured this is totally do-able. It's just over 3 states a year for the next 15 years. 15 years sounds like a long time to have a goal, but I'm so excited to see all that I can accomplish in those 15 years. And I'm starting from scratch. I think I've been to about 16 states so far in my life, but I'm starting at 0. This should be fun!
So the Destinations part of Taste and Tell is going to be highlighting my goal and my time in each state. Where to stay. What to do. Where to eat. And of course, hopefully some behind the scenes posts of different places. I'll be updating this post as I go – on my way to the end goal of all 50 states. I can't wait to share everything I discover and everywhere I go with all of you!
Where to Stay
Hotel Monaco – Salt Lake City
27 Responses to 50×50
Ooooh, I LOVE this! This is so great, Deborah! I already can tell that I'm going to be a big fan of your Destination posts. Good for you – can't wait!
Great idea! We have a beautiful country that needs to be seen!!!
Ooh love this Deborah!! Can't wait to read about your adventures. So where to first this year???
What an exciting adventure! I can't wait to read along with you! 😀
Can't wait to follow along in your adventure!
So fun, Deborah! Can't wait to follow along on your adventures!
Love this idea!
Totally dig it!
We set this goal as a family, it turns out to be easier than you think, especially if you make them road trips. Just since our youngest was born we have been able to get to just over 30 of them. Go for it, it will be so fun! (The youngest is going to be 5 this year, so I think you can certainly do it it 15. We probably travel more than the average person, especially these last few years!)
What a great goal! When I was a kid we had a map of the US and marked off every state we visited. However, then we counted states we drove through and flew into. A few years ago my guy and I decided we wanted to go to all 50 states together, but the catch was we had to do something 'memorable' in every state. Like we went to Montana, just for one day, but it was to go white water rafting and not only was that the first time each of us visited Montana, it was the first time either of us has been white water rafting! What a memory! I like how you set a deadline for your goal and know how many states you have to cross off each year! I think that we should not only set a goal to go to all 50 but put a date when to mark the last state off our list!
How fun! I may just have to do that with Jason! And if you're ever in LA, I will definitely point you out to the good eats here!
Love it!
What a fantastic idea! Can't wait to follow along. 35 isn't old, btw!
what a fun idea! i can't wait to read about it maybe i should set this goal too!! i'm 26 so if i get started now, it'd be embarrassing if i were to fail, haha – let me know when you're in DC & VA & MD, ok?! Seriously.
hurry and come to nj now so i can meet you. of course, i am going to california, so i can see you there too great goal, i need to do the same!
I'm pretty bad at long term goals like this also but what a fun idea!! Come visit me in NYC!!!
This is an awesome idea! I can't wait to see how your travels go!
How fun!!! You will absolutely accomplish it 😀
Good luck Deborah, when do you start? I guess one is off the list straightaway! Will you do a food feature from each state? Keep us posted!
Zoe xxx
Go get em' girl!
such a fun goal! can't wait to read about your adventures!
What a great goal! I've always wanted to sit down and write out all the places I want to see and travel to….Can't wait to see where this brings you!
sounds like fun! you look much younger btw!
I have a place for you to stay in Mississippi! 😉 This is also a goal of mine… I think I'll go count now how many I have left to go and see if I can accomplish by 50!

How do you suppose she'll look as a senior citizen?
Looks amazing! ^^
Cool! Always good to see Fleetfoot and the lesser-known Wonderbolts, too.
I have to say that this piece is very alluring and it is quite seldom that a piece draws my eyes through no mpre than character design, but you have pulled this off very well! The first thing that comes to mind when I see this piece is cleanliness! The line work is very refined and solid which shapes her in such a way that is very elegant yet focused at the same time! I also love the way that you positioned her body as well which shows motivation! Every contour is lovely and well crafted and I also appreciate the way that you included more minute details as well such as the small bends and cracks in the wings! This kind of care in a piece shows true artistic master! I also love the way that you used the subtle lighting and shading within the design to add a glorious depth to her! The color work is what bring everything together by making a lush and bold prominence! This is a fanatstic piece and I would very much love to see much more of your exquisite work in the near future! Great work! Kind regards, Princess Luna
Very epic looking Fleetfoot, amazing job! Specailly on the colors. ^^
Love that fleefoot, especially since the Big Mac comic series.. ^_^
Me too like the Big Mac comic series
Soo many references!! I loved the Bluth Lemonade stand and the Family Circus dotted map.. Heh, you can tell they had a lot of fun with those two.
she wanted a big mac
I hardly see any Fleetfoot pics. Good one!

School holiday movie guide - what to watch with the kids this July
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- June 28, 2013
WITH the July school holidays now upon us, our cinemas have been swamped by a rush of titles geared towards younger audiences.
As always, parents are encouraged not only to include their children in the decision-making process of what films to see, but also to monitor how youngsters respond to what is on the screen.
Have a chat with the kids afterwards, and ask what they did or did not like about the picture. Take note of their observations, and adjust your choices for future cinema trips accordingly.
Take a look at what's on offer. Enjoy the show.

"This is the best deal since 1932." So said House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) regarding the increased public appetite for government intervention in the economy. Incoming White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel echoed the sentiment when he told the Wall Street Journal, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste."
Oh, boy. While Barack Obama's appointments so far have been fairly moderate, other Democrats are whistling "Happy Days are Here Again" and dusting off their wish lists for federal spending. "The House and Senate Appropriations committees hope to use December to negotiate a $410 billion omnibus measure that can be swiftly approved when the new Congress convenes," reports the Politico. Wasn't it just two months ago that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi -- supposedly outraged that the Congress was being asked (by Bush and Paulson) to pony up $700 billion to prevent a total freeze of credit markets around the globe -- intoned "SEVEN HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS." She repeated it for emphasis: "Madame Speaker, when was the last time anyone ever asked you for SEVEN HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS? It's a staggering figure."
But that was then. Now the cover of TIME magazine features Obama as FDR and the term "new New Deal" is on everyone's lips. Columnist Paul Krugman is fine with that, except he objects that Roosevelt didn't do enough!
The conventional wisdom has had a rough time of it lately among scholars. You know the fairy tale. You were probably taught it in school. During the 1920s, America practiced laissez-faire economics. The 1920s were seen, as historian Amity Shlaes put it, as a period of "false growth and low morals." Greedy businessmen got out of control and created a market crash in 1929. President Hoover, obedient to Republican ideas concerning noninterference in the market, did nothing. The economy spiraled into a depression. Roosevelt was elected in 1932, banished fear, inaugurated the New Deal, and put America back to work.
A series of recent books has demolished the myth. Some of Roosevelt's reforms were salutary (the Securities and Exchange Commission, reform of the Federal Reserve) but the New Deal's chief object was never achieved -- it did not solve the nation's unemployment problem. The CATO Institute's Jim Powell points out in "FDR's Folly," "From 1934 to 1940, the median annual unemployment rate was 17.2. At no point during the 1930s did unemployment go below 14 percent. ... Living standards remained depressed until after the war." Stanford University history professor David Kennedy has acknowledged, "Whatever it was, the New Deal was not a recovery program, or at any rate not an effective one."

Opinion + Embryos
Genetic editing is like playing God – and what's wrong with that?Johnjoe McFaddenBritish scientists are getting permission to alter embryos' DNA. We have the chance to correct devastating diseases in the womb, so let's get on with it
Kathy Niakan's application to use a new gene-editing technique on embryos is controversial because we lack a clear moral framework for such science
Editorial: Sometimes scientific advances raise real moral concerns, but not mitochondrial donation. The Commons must ignore the churches and vote for progress

Kishwar Desai: Those calling for the British ban on sex selection of children born through IVF to be lifted should look at India and think again

Simon Jenkins: Bob Edwards and Patrick Steptoe, who brought happiness to so many, had to overcome prejudice from many quarters
Hilary Rose, co-author of Genes, Cells and Brains, argues that we should treat the medical claims made for genetic research with suspicion

The Abdul Latif Jameel Group, long a force to be reckoned with in the region's auto dealership industry, is making considerable inroads farther afield, reports Trends magazine.
March 17, 2009 10:16 by Ehtesham Shahid
Touch of humanity
If the auto dealership has brought recognition to ALJ, philanthropic work has earned it respect. One of ALJ's important social initiatives has been enhancing entrepreneurship in the region. The group claims that Bab Rizq Jameel – an Abdul Latif Jameel Community Service Program – created 15,342 job opportunities (69 percent for women) in Saudi Arabia during the first half of 2008. Bab Rizq Jameel also engages more than 8,000 women in the "productive household program," which provides interest-free loans of up to 150,000 Saudi riyals ($40,000) to start their own micro projects from home.
ALJ's Mohammed Jameel has won laurels for such examples of his philanthropic work. In 2004, the Prince of Wales International Business Leaders Forum (IBLF) – the business-led development organization founded by Britain's Prince Charles – elected him honorary deputy chairman of its board of trustees and chairman of IBLF Middle East. As the head of the first Arab company to be represented on the IBLF board as its principal supporter, Jameel was invited to become a trustee of the London-based IBLF.
The group also has a partnership with Nobel laureate Mohammed Yunus' Grameen Foundation to alleviate poverty through microfinance in the Arab world. The group has pledged $50 million in loan guarantees to be used in the Arab World. That's besides an annual million-dollar donation it grants to support scientific research in the Arab World. In 2005, ALJ launched a media campaign to help change young Saudis' perceptions of young certain jobs, and to encourage them to open businesses.
On a personal level, Mohammed Jameel has proved to be a worthy successor to his father and has successfully continued his legacy. Twenty-seven years after he received his civil engineering degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in 2005 Mohammed Jameel extended an endowment to the institute's center for the study of poverty eradication.
The center was subsequently named Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab in honor of his father. It aims to serve "as a focal point for the development of po-verty research … to improve the effectiveness of poverty programs by providing scientists with clear scientific results."
But nothing seems to give the company more satisfaction than its omnipotent Toyota-Lexus dealership. Toyota sold more than 4.8 million vehicles in the first half of 2008, up 2 percent from the same period last year. ALJ will bask in that reflected glory.
And for "ex-ALJites" such as Patrick Samaha, the group represents a training ground where inspiration and perspiration combine to court success. In Sa-maha's words, "Whosoever has worked at ALJ has done well thereafter. It is like going to a great university."

The apartment is ideally situated for the beach and there is a selection of bars, supermarkets, gift shops and restaurants within a 5 minute radius. A fifteen minute walk left along the beach will bring you to the traditional harbour which is soon to be developed into a cosmopolitan marina, where you will find a promenade with restaurants serving a variety of cuisine ranging from the local catch of the day to traditional English fayre.
A twenty minute stroll in the other direction from the apartment will bring you to the Avenida de Meditraneo, where you will find an area packed with gift shops, bars and restaurants including traditional tapas bars, Chinese, Indian and Italian restaurants.
The children's play park is also situated here. A further 15 minute stroll along the beach front will bring you to the busiest part of the resort, where you will find a wide selection of shops, restaurants, bars and Nightclubs. The variety of food on offer varies from traditional Spanish, Italian, Indian, Chinese and English cuisine.
You will find bars to enjoy live music, quizzes, karaoke or just enjoy a quiet drink. This part of the beach also offers windsurfing lessons and Jet Ski's for the more adventurous.
The beach is a fine shingle and stretches for miles. It is very wide and shelves gently although care should be taken with young children as the waves can be quite strong in this area.
Roquetas De Mar is generally a quiet family friendly resort which still retains a traditional Spanish feel and is ideal for those seeking a more relaxed holiday than many of the other Costa's along the Spanish Coast, but is said to have the best year round climate of any other part of Spain, with only on average 30 days of rain a year.
We feel the apartment would be the perfect place for either a beach holiday, golf break or even a long term let.
If you are interested in renting the apartment or would like any further information please don't hesitate to contact us.
Transfer time from the Airport : Approx. 30 mins

Aguadulce is a ten minute drive or bus journey and is another beach resort with a pretty marina that comes alive on a Friday and Saturday evening.

The Andalucia region
Roquetas de Mar, on the Costa Almeria in Andalusia, is well placed for enjoying hot dry days with a welcome on-shore breeze. With a small fishing harbour and a labyrinth of narrow streets, Roquetas de Mar has retained its traditional Spanish atmosphere. The tower of Santa Ana and the village walls are all that remains of the 16th century fortifications. The eighteenth century church of the Virgin of the Rosary has been restored and is well worth a visit.
The beach, two miles long, is of sand and shingle and is not over crowded. The promenade bordering the beach has many shady palm trees as well as a large number of bars and restaurants. There are good facilities for water sports including wind surfing and sailing. Land sports include golf, tennis and horse riding.
A mini road train runs around the resort. Entertainment for children includes a park with inflatables, crazy golf and a water park.
Four kilometres south of Roquetas de Mar is the salt lagoon of Las Marinas where there is a huge bird population including colourful flamingos. It is an excellent area for water sports.

Coach: We avenged the loss to Pak in Asia Cup
Top Stories
Last month, the Indian Kabaddi team had lost in the final to Pakistan in the Asia Cup hosted by it. The margin was of about 7 points. So the Indian Kabaddi team had to avenge that loss. It was done on Saturday night in the Kabaddi World Cup, and with a huge margin, according to Harpreet Singh Baba, coach of the men's kabaddi team.
"We won by 59-22, and it was a huge margin. Last month, we had lost the game in Pakistan by only 7 points. So this time, we gave a befitting reply to the rivals," Baba told Ludhiana Newsline.
The Indian team won the tournament for the third consecutive time, defeating Pakistan in all the three outings. "We have the best raiders and stoppers and they practise a lot throughout the year. Apart from this, we had an 18-day training camp before the tournament. So all worked very well," Baba said.
Sukhbir Singh Saravan, the captain of the Indian team, is equally excited about the victory. "We made the Pakistani players run a lot and defeated them with a huge margin. We lived up to the expectations of the masses."
The players, however, admit that less competition from other teams proved a plus point as they still need to learn a lot about this game. "In women's section, competition was very less. The other teams still need to know a lot about this game. Our girls were well experienced. So it was a cakewalk for them to win the tournament," said Palwinder Kaur, coach of the women's team.
She added, "Players were from Punjab and Haryana in our team and these states play circle-style kabaddi a lot. It is not yet popular in the rest of the states of India as well. So outside countries will take a lot of time to match our standards."

Fine Arts, Kansas City
4 Reviews
4 Reviews
Opera is live and well in the heartland of America! Kansas City's long-lived Lyric Theatre, one of the finer of the many regional opera companies, presents four annual productions, two in the fall, two in the spring. You won't see Domingo or Carreras here, but you will thrill to the voices of stars in the making. Coming in spring of 2003 are "Abduction from the Seraglio" and "Rigoletto."
Dress Code: Some dress to impress, but more go dressy casual - this is Kansas City, not Boston. Nobody is going to look down their nose at you if you're in jeans or slacks.
The first Friday of every month you can walk around the Crossroads Art District and find a culmination of art galleries, studios, and restaurants in the Crossroads Arts District.
Some of the studios even offer free wine and samplings of food. Its alot of fun just to walk around with friends and mingle and see amazing artists. Summer and Spring months are the most crowded and gallerys stay open 7-9 and free admission.
Kansas City's classical music scene is surprisingly strong - and as with most cities, the symphony orchestra is at the center. Currently led by dynamic young conductor, Anne Manson, the symphony is undergoing a wonderful surge of artistic growth, and is one of those rare orchestras not facing financial difficulties. The only drawback is the current performance venue, The Lyric Theatre, which is cramped and unappealing. In 2006 or 2007 it will be replaced by an architectural wonder - the new Kansas City Performing Arts Center. Students receive drastically reduced prices within two hours of the performance.
Dress Code: Anything goes... Tux, blue jeans, just leave the baby with a sitter.
There is a lot of live theatre in Kansas City, and "The Rep" is its premier organization. This fully professional resident theatre company presents six performances annually, including the incredibly popular "Christmas Carol" - a must see during the holiday season. The rep was founded in 1964 and performs in the Performing Arts Center at the University of Missouri at Kansas City. Free parking.

Programmable Linear Hall Effect Sensor
1. Introduction
The HAL 815 is a new member of the Micronas family
of programmable linear Hall sensors. As an extension
to the HAL 800, it offers open-circuit, as well as over-
voltage and undervoltage detection and individual pro-
gramming of different sensors which are in parallel to
the same supply voltage.
The HAL 815 is an universal magnetic field sensor with
a linear output based on the Hall effect. The IC is
designed and produced in sub-micron CMOS technol-
ogy and can be used for angle or distance measure-
ments if combined with a rotating or moving magnet.
The major characteristics like magnetic field range,
sensitivity, output quiescent voltage (output voltage at
B = 0 mT), and output voltage range are programma-
ble in a non-volatile memory. The sensor has a ratio-
metric output characteristic, which means that the out-
put voltage is proportional to the magnetic flux and the
supply voltage.
The HAL 815 features a temperature-compensated
Hall plate with choppered offset compensation, an A/D
converter, digital signal processing, a D/A converter
with output driver, an EEPROM memory with redun-
dancy and lock function for the calibration data, a
serial interface for programming the EEPROM, and
protection devices at all pins. The internal digital signal
processing is of great benefit because analog offsets,
temperature shifts, and mechanical stress do not
degrade the sensor accuracy.
The HAL 815 is programmable by modulating the sup-
ply voltage. No additional programming pin is needed.
The easy programmability allows a 2-point calibration
by adjusting the output voltage directly to the input sig-
nal (like mechanical angle, distance, or current). Indi-
vidual adjustment of each sensor during the cus-
tomer's manufacturing process is possible. With this
calibration procedure, the tolerances of the sensor, the
magnet, and the mechanical positioning can be com-
pensated in the final assembly. This offers a low-cost
alternative for all applications that presently need
mechanical adjustment or laser trimming for calibrating
the system.
In addition, the temperature compensation of the Hall
IC can be fit to all common magnetic materials by pro-
gramming first and second order temperature coeffi-
cients of the Hall sensor sensitivity. This enables oper-
ation over the full temperature range with high
The calculation of the individual sensor characteristics
and the programming of the EEPROM memory can
easily be done with a PC and the application kit from
The sensor is designed for hostile industrial and auto-
motive applications and operates with typically 5 V
supply voltage in the ambient temperature range from
−40 °C up to 150 °C. The HAL 815 is available in the
very small leaded package TO-92UT.
1.1. Major Applications
Due to the sensor's versatile programming character-
istics, the HAL 815 is the optimal system solution for
applications such as:
– contactless potentiometers,
– angle sensors,
– distance measurements,
– magnetic field and current measurement.
1.2. Features
– high-precision linear Hall effect sensor with
ratiometric output and digital signal processing
– multiple programmable magnetic characteristics in a
non-volatile memory (EEPROM) with redundancy
and lock function
– open-circuit (ground and supply line break detec-
tion), overvoltage and undervoltage detection
– for programming an individual sensor within several
sensors in parallel to the same supply voltage, a
selection can be done via the output pin
– to enable programming of an individual sensor
amongst several sensors running parallel to the
same supply voltage, each sensor can be selected
via its output pin
– temperature characteristics are programmable for
matching all common magnetic materials
– programmable clamping function
– programming through a modulation of the supply
– operates from −40 °C up to 150 °C
ambient temperature
– operates from 4.5 V up to 5.5 V supply voltage in
specification and functions up to 8.5 V
– total error < 2.0% over operating voltage range and
temperature range
– operates with static magnetic fields and dynamic
magnetic fields up to 2 kHz
– overvoltage and reverse-voltage protection at all pins
– magnetic characteristics extremely robust against
mechanical stress
– short-circuit protected push-pull output
– EMC and ESD optimized design

1.3. Marking Code
The HAL 815 has a marking on the package surface
(branded side). This marking includes the name of the
sensor and the temperature range.
Temperature Range
1.4. Operating Junction Temperature Range (TJ)
The Hall sensors from Micronas are specified to the
chip temperature (junction temperature TJ).
A: TJ = −40 °C to +170 °C
K: TJ = −40 °C to +140 °C
E: TJ = −40 °C to +100 °C
The relationship between ambient temperature (TA)
and junction temperature is explained in Section 4.5.

Just thought I'd throw this in from today's Wall Street Journal. It doesn't help with wi-fi only, but if you have a device connected to a carrier (meaning 3G at this point), they're working on a database to prevent stolen devices from being re-activated by someone else. It's not perfect, but it could help decrease the number of thefts of these types of devices.

My ipad2 got lost in newyorm and i live in las vegas, even with me tracking it. What can I a actually do? It's not giving me any address or phone number, just a blue dot in a screen
Ren84 May 3, 2012 8:36 AM
in response to dimashq
I saw that but how will I know it's the right location? Or someone is just using someone else's wifi? I tried to call las Vegas police but they said they can't do anything because in not giving them a accurate address.... After an hour that blue dot vanished, does that mean my iPad got erased? Because I got a passcode in it... They could still erased my data?

You need to file a police report.

It has to be using someone else's wifi unless they are sitting in yoru driveway, right?
Yes they can easily erase the data by restoring the iPad. Then it will not show up anymore (and it is gone).

with all these theft and stuff... is apple ever going to do something? i know for a fact each gps module built in their ipad, they assign a unique code which is associatted to the serial number or imei number. i was robbed of my hand bag containing my ipad, passport amongst other stuff. i went to an apple store to help me locate my ipad so i can get my passport, they said there is nothing apple can do. now i am stuck in a foriegn country without a passport. if any onw in apple ever reads these, i am pleading with them to help

Just because a product has GPS features, does not mean it was put in the product for that purpose. Yes the Apple devices do use gps, but not in the way you think it should. APPLE is not a tracking company, it is not an investigation company. GPS was not put in the products to track them when lost of stolen. thats what you contact the cops form

Sorry for your loss, I know I wouldnt be able to last a day without my ipad, I dont know if you will get it back but theres proberly a chance, demand you look at the CCTV closest to your car (If there was one) but if you get it back, get the app ' find my iphone' yes, it does say phone but its compatible with iphone, ipad and ipods, you also would need to download it on to another apple device and link up the accounts you would have to make then incase this happens again you should find it straight away, this app is made for things like this and misplacement etc hope this helped.
