I have two questions:
Can you have parameterised unit tests in qunit?
How do you do mocking with qunit e.g. mocking a getJSON call?
I have two questions:
How do you do mocking with qunit e.g. mocking a getJSON call?
For mocking ajax requests, you can try something like this...
Here's the function you want to test:
Here's the test case:
It's essentially overriding jQuery's ajax function and then checks the following 2 things: - the value that was passed to the ajax function - invokes the success callback and asserts that it did what it was supposed to do
Instead of overriding jQuery's AJAX function, you could also use the jQuery Mockjax plugin developed by .appendTo. This plugin essentially does what the other answer suggests, but it allows for much more sophisticated mocking. For example, if you have the function:
You can mock it with mockjax by simply calling the function mockjax, which is automatically included in jQuery:
The second mocking function can be included in an external JavaScript file, say "mocks.js," and the only other thing that needs to be done is include the mockjax library (which can be found at https://github.com/appendto/jquery-mockjax/). The only thing to keep in mind is that this will only mock jQuery ajax calls, not all XMLHttpRequests. If you want to do that, then follow @bertvh's advice and use Sinon.js.
I just started using Sinon.JS, which allows mocking of XMLHttpRequests and also offers a simple fake-server API. Really easy to use! It also offers integration with qunit.
There is my implementation of addon which allows to parameterize qunit tests: https://github.com/AStepaniuk/qunit-parameterize

Bringing home a golden retriever puppy in 2 weeks-anyone have any good tips?
Hi! I'm a new member to this forum, and I was wondering if anyone had any good tips for me. We are bringing home a new male golden retriever puppy in 2 1/2 weeks (8 weeks old by then); we currently have an 8 year old purebred female chocolate lab that we have had since she was a puppy. I am a little concerned because our current dog hasn't had much interaction with other dogs; however we are very competent dog owners-someone is at home with our dog at least 90% of the time. Compared to a lab, is raising a golden very different? What is the best way to introduce our current dog to our new dog?
Thanks for your help!
Hi, welcome and congrats! My suggestion would be to take a towel and leave it with puppy for a couple of day then bring it home so your dog gets used to the pups scent.
Also, introduce them off your property the first time.
That's what we did when we brought Bentley home and Ky excepted him and didn't mind at all when we brought him into the house.
Can't wait to see pics!
My words of wisdom ... get lots of sleep now while you can LOL
I remember when we brought Keltey home I thought I'd never be able to have a full night sleep again haha ... it got better after a few months when we both got into a routine and I can laugh about it now, but at the time I thought I was going to lose my mind
Congratulations on the new puppy, I can't wait to see pictures!!
I don't have any advice to offer, just wanted to say welcome! We're bringing home our first puppy in 3 weeks and are counting down the days. Do you have everything you need in terms of puppy supplies - toys, teething aids, grooming tools, crate, etc.? I find that perusing the dog aisle at my local pet supply store helps to pass the time
wow there are a lot of us new puppy owners with pups born in October! Ours was born on the 18th and we bring her home in two weeks as well. I have no advice for you, you probably know a lot more than I, but I wanted to say hi! Good to meet you!
I see your from Michigan and I hate to be cruel, but......
A warm coat, hat and mittens ?
Lol mmcleod .....but true! It was like having a new baby in the house, & I had totally forgotten what that was like! But Loki wasn't actually too bad & at 16 weeks old, we are now getting a good sleep, though we would love to get to bed earlier than 11.30pm. The last three days, we have been woken up by the alarm clock, & this morning we had a ten minute lie-in after it went off, before Loki started barking.
Kskylis .....welcome! How exciting that you will soon be adding a new GR baby to your family. We have a six year old papillon, & he quickly accepted Our new GR baby, who was seven weeks old & a bit bigger. A friend of mine has just added a new black lab baby of seven weeks old to her family, & no problems at all between the new baby & the two year old black lab she already had. Both of us did the introductions at home, due to the worry about new babies only having had one vaccination shot & the risk of Parvo etc. but maybe introductions could be done somewhere safe, such as the home of a friend or family member who does not have a dog. Let us know how it all goes ...I presume the breeder will send you home with a supply of food that the puppy is used to, as you do not want to change to a new brand & cause tummy probs ....& feed baby separately from your dog, or the older dog will gobble down the food & pup may develop resource guarding. Also, keep baby away from older dog's food, as your Lab may not take kindly to having a puppy stealing its food ...& eating it would probably give your baby an upset tum. Enjoy your new baby & be sure to post pics. I see you are from Michigan. I am a New Zealander living in NZ, but my two older sons both live in Michigan, & we were over there visiting with them & their families in July this year. Also spent time in Ann Arbor & On Mackinac Island .....both beautiful places.

Arino Shinya, the Chief of Game Center CX, will be appearing on the Super Mario Bros. 30th Anniversary Special Stage at the Nico Nico Super Conference in April of 2015. Hit the jump for more details.
What's the best way to make a feature film out of Chief Arino's antics on GameCenter CX? Go back in time, of course! See how the movie version blends 1986 and 2006 in the trailer after the jump.
Things haven't slowed down for comedian Shinya Arino's long-running Game Center CX, AKA Retro Game Master. The show is celebrating its 10th anniversary, and part of the joyous occasion includes a movie set for spring 2014. Read on for more.
Just the other day Discotek Media announced the addition of the live Mighty Bomb Jack challenge to its Game Center CX / Retro Game Master DVD collection, and now there are two more bonus eps joining the set. Better yet, both are two-parters! Read on for more.
It was already sweet enough when we learned that Discotek Media would be releasing Game Center CX, AKA Retro Game Master, on DVD, but it looks like there are even more treats in store for the set. One of them is an additional episode in the form of the live Mighty Bomb Jack challenge. Read on for more.
Kotaku's license of Game Center CX, which it streamed under the title Retro Game Master, may have expired, but it looks like Discotek Media has plans to release the series on DVD! Read on for more.
Kotaku's Game Center CX license is coming to an end, and Retro Game Master will not be returning past the initial 12 localized episodes. That also means the season that is currently online will be disappearing entirely, so it's time to play catch up! More after the jump.
If you've been keeping up with Kotaku's weekly streaming of Retro Game Master—the official localization of Game Center CX—then you know why host Shinya Arino is so darn charming. Here's some good news for fans out west: the Kacho is headed to Los Angeles! More after the jump.

CRT @ 8:10am
Where would you go for an early supper?
LTT, Tony's, or 1900 PF at GF
It'll be 2 adults and 5yo DD and 3.5yo DD.
Single, book reading, Disney loving, caffine addicted momma to 2 amazing daughters!
We really liked Liberty Tree Tavern when we were there in October. The food was amazing. It was a thanksgiving like meal served family style. No characters or anything though so it depends on what you are looking for. 1900 PF also had good food and the characters were great. We didn't eat at Tony's so I can't comment on that one. I think it depends on what kind of experience you are looking for.
Mom to Four
April 2006, June 2008, Feb 2011, Dec 2012
We did not like the food at GF and after CRT in the AM, you see Cinderella at both so I think I would go with LTT or Ohana
Out of your options I'd go with LTT.
C, married to DH 5/06, SAHM to little man- 12/09 and little miss- 7/13
Apart of the Disney nut club. 27 trips down and always planning the next.
What about the Plaza? I love that place! :)
I have heard that the character interaction at PF with Cindy and the Step Family is a lot of fun. But I have not had lunch or dinner at any of those places that you listed.
Christen, Mommy to two sweet and stubborn little girls!
LTT was great when we were there in October, but it was very loud. Just something to think about if you have a child with sensory issues.
Married to DH Kevin since 2001 and loving life with our little man since 2008
My 5.5 year old daughter enjoyed O'hana's when we were there in September. Then after our meal, we went down to the poly beach, watched the movie on the beach, the fireworks and the boat parade. Then we caught the bus to dtd (to transfer to our resort bus).

Entrepreneurship, Liberty, and the Future
Recorded: Tuesday, January 27, 2015
In his #1 New York Times bestselling book, Zero to One, Peter Thiel presents his often contrarian ideas about competition, progress, technology, and finding value in unexpected placesto build a future that we have yet to dream, but that may someday become reality. In Developing the Developed World he brings these ideas to life, including his insights on how to create true innovations in the world of atomsnot just digits and bitsand how to foster a peaceful, prosperous and freer future marked by globalization in a world of limited resources.
Peter Thiel is Founder and Managing Member of Clarium Capital Management, LLC; Co-Founder of Paypal, Palantir Technologies, Mithril Capital Management, and Valar Ventures; Managing Partner of Founders Fund; and past President of Thiel Capital International and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Confinity, Inc. He has been a Research Fellow at the Independent Institute, and he is the author of the books:
The Diversity Myth: Multiculturalism and Political Intolerance on Campus (with David O. Sacks)
He co-founded PayPal in 1998, led it as CEO, and in 2002 sold it to eBay and founded Clarium Capital Management, a global macro fund. In 2004 he made the first outside investment in Facebook, where he serves as a director. The same year he co-founded Palantir Technologies, a software company that harnesses computers to empower human analysts in fields like security and global finance. He has provided early funding for LinkedIn, Yelp, RoboteX, Spotify, and dozens of successful technology startups. He is a co-founder and partner at Founders Fund, a venture capital firm that has funded companies like SpaceX and Airbnb. And in 2012 he co-founded Mithril Capital Management, an international technology investment fund.

Western brands tap Chinese tourism
11 August 2014
SHANGHAI: China is on course to become the world's largest cruise liner market, according to the CEO of Carnival, the largest cruise company in the world.
Although the Chinese market is relatively small at present, Arnold Donald
told China Daily
that it will grow quickly and Carnival expects millions of Chinese tourists to use its services in the future.
This in turn is likely to boost demand for high-end and luxury goods, he said, so Carnival has started to increase the range of luxury products it can offer.
The company has been operating in China since 2006 and it plans to launch a new cruise liner, Costa Serena, in Shanghai by 2015, which will coincide with the launch of two more ships from its rival, Royal Caribbean Cruises.
International cruise companies have been increasing their investments in China since 2013 and, as a result, the number of Chinese tourists choosing to take a cruise holiday has increased by more than 50%.
Travel booking services are another area where Western tourism companies have spotted opportunities for growth, as confirmed by the announcement of an alliance between Ctrip, the Shanghai-based travel booking website, and the Priceline Group.
The US travel company
is investing $500m in Ctrip
to increase the cross-promotion of each of their hotel listings and other travel services.
The deal will allow Ctrip's customers access to Priceline's database of more than 500,000 hotels overseas while in exchange Priceline's customers will be able to search Ctrip's portfolio of 100,000 hotels in China.
"So many Chinese tourists are making their way to Europe," said Darren Huston, Priceline's chief executive in
comments to the Financial Times
. "In five to ten years they could become the world's largest travelling population," he said.

Grafenwoehr community mourns fallen Soldier, devoted husband
April 21, 2009
GRAFENWOEHR, Germany - "On April 5th, 2009, the Wolf Pack lost one of its best Soldiers, siblings lost a loyal brother, a mother lost a loving son, a wife lost the love of her life and I lost a best friend. "
These were the words of Sgt. Erick Dybvig, as read by Sgt. Justin Rajotte, during a memorial service, April 14 for Spc. Isreal Candelaria-Majias. The service, held at the Grafenwoehr chapel, honored the life of Candelaria, 28, who was killed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, April 5.
Candelaria, of San Lorenzo, Puerto Rico, was a member of 3rd Platoon, Alpha Company, 1-2 Infantry, Task Force 3-66 Armor, 172nd Infantry Brigade.
A somber and emotional crowd listened as members of the rear detachment read words spoken by friends and commanders of Candelaria at the unit's memorial service held in Iraq April 10.
Dybvig's words continued, "I speak of Isreal Candelaria. One of the greatest men I have had the pleasure of knowing ... he was a man of character." Dybvig went on to discuss Candelaria's strong commitment as a Soldier, friend and family man.
1st Lt. William Archer read the words of Cpt. Daniel Godbey, Candelaria's commander of 14 months, which echoed Dybvig, saying Candelaria was "one of the strongest Soldiers I've ever seen - not necessarily physical strength, although he had that, but the emotional and spiritual strength to see any mission through to the end and carry his fellow soldiers through as well."
Godbey, along with others at the memorial, also spoke of Candelaria's relentless smile saying, "Candelaria was a man with enough happiness for a whole platoon."
Friends and commanders agreed that even after years of combat and stress, his spirit never diminished.
Having Candelaria in the company, said Godbey, meant also having the support of his wife, Maria Candelaria, who was an important member of the company, as well as the Schwienfurt and Grafenwoehr communities.
The words of Lt. Col. Louis B. Rago II, as read by Lt. Col. Eric Stetson, addressed Candelaria's wife and mother, reminding them that Candelaria's memory, and both of them, will always be a part of the Black Knight family.
In his closing words, Chaplain (Col.) Glenn Woodson, said to the grieving community that Candelaria "was killed fighting for you and me. That is something that we simply can never forget ... this young man lived a very good life."
Candelaria joined the U.S. Army in October, 2003. His awards include the Bronze Star Medal with Valor and the Purple Heart. He is survived by his wife Angela and mother Maria Majias. Candelaria's death marks the first combat-related death from 172nd Infantry Brigade since they deployed in November, 2008.

Children's Books for Twins
Here's a thread on this from October...not much out there though, just a heads up:
I have b/g twins and found that it is way easier to find same sex twin books than b/g twin books. Then one I bought when I was expecting was called Twin To Twin and has b/g twins in it. 6 1/2 years later my kids still love it.
Mommy to McKenna and Lucas. Born May 9, 2005.
LOL, Twin to Twin is the one book we have, and I have g/g twins obviously, lol! I received it as a gift from a former co-worker.
Growing up, I read the Bobbsey Twins books, which are also b/g twins...and of course Sweet Valley High which are g/g identical twins (really dating myself with those 2 series of books!).
And, now I'm reading the Harry Potter books to my girls which have b/b identical twins in the story.
This is one of those "With all the celebrities having twins..." type of questions as to why there aren't more children's twins books as well as the celebrity line of maternity clothes for moms of multiples as well.
Maybe we should all take matters into our own hands and collaborate together to make the things we all know we want and need!
Michelle - I had totally forgotten about Sweet Valley High till now! :)
Not a twin book, but I bought a couple of Duck and Goose books for my boys.
Mama to 33 weeker di/di identicals N and M (March 2010) and tiny termie T (September 2012) ... math geek ... married to a math geek.
Brandi, did you know they're coming out with a SVH movie??
Is it totally sick that at almost 42 years old, I'm seriously considering going to see this, and that I'm sad that my girls aren't quite tweens/teenagers old enough for this yet?
Too funny! I hadn't seen that there was a movie coming out. Do girls still read those books??
I was out Christmas shopping for my 12-year-old niece - boy, books for teens sure have changed! There's a whole teen paranormal section at B&N.
Mama to 33 weeker di/di identicals N and M (March 2010) and tiny termie T (September 2012) ... math geek ... married to a math geek.
I have no idea if girls still read the SVH books...you would think by now they'd be a bit dated, but who knows. I haven't checked out the teen/young reader section of a book store since the last Harry Potter book came out, lol. I'll be hitting that section fairly soon though! I'm hoping to get the girls started on the Little House series by this summer. :)
I have no siggie....I'm boring.

Life with PlayStation now out
Posted by T0SH in Life with Playstation on September 18th, 2008
I only checked this out for a couple minutes before work so I can't give a full impression yet. But first thing I noticed is that it doesn't have very many cities yet. It doesn't list mine either. Hopefully they'll add more cities over time.
It's to bad you can't add your own city via zip code to get the weather and news for your area. It's just using Google news for the news in that area. Oh well, maybe in a later update?
A cool feature with Life with PlayStation is real time clouds all over the world. They are updated about every hour or so. That info is coming from University of Wisconsin. And the actual weather is from the Weather Channel. It also has a web cams for the supported cities to.
To update just start up [email protected], after the update the icon will change to Life with Playstation. Let us know what you think.
[email protected] does run in the background so might as well join our folding team 55054 😉

A frantic 911 call and graphic crime scene photos started the double murder trial Jan. 12 of a Dry Ridge man accused of killing his 33-year-old estranged wife and a 32-year-old man.
Shaun Hiles is charged with two counts each of intentional murder and first-degree wanton endangerment in the July 28, 2014 shooting deaths of Nicole Hiles and Larry Whiteker.
The opening statements by Commonwealth Attorney Jim Crawford painted Hiles as an enraged husband who had been stalking his wife and Whiteker.
A former finance officer is suing Judge-Executive Steve Wood, Deputy Judge-Executive Scott Kimmich and the Grant County Fiscal Court for her alleged wrongful termination.
Connie McClure-Ellington of Corinth filed the lawsuit last week in federal court in Covington.
McClure-Ellington was hired as the county finance officer in June 1990 and was terminated in June 2015.
The lawsuit alleges that she was fired because of her age and because she did not vote for Wood, a Republican, in the judge-executive's race.
The Williamstown Lady Demons opened up the new year Jan. 4 against Holmes High School.
Fifteen days after their last game, the Williamstown squad hoped there would be no rust against the tough Lady Bulldogs squad.
It was a long night for the team, however, as they would take a 25 point defeat 68-43.
The loss moved their record to 7-3 on the season.
Two escaped inmates from Blackburn Correctional Complex in Lexington were arrested Jan. 5 just over the Harrison County line near Grant County.
Jordan Green, 24, and Waltez Franklin, 23, escaped the facility sometime Jan. 4.
Green, who was convicted in Boone and Kenton counties on robbery, burglary and theft charges, was described as "extremely dangerous" by the Kenton County Commonwealth Attorney's Office.
Ten years ago to the day, Body Works Gym in Dry Ridge opened it's doors.
"There was a tremendous need in our area for people to be able to exercise with the proper guidance and equipment," said Justin Baker, owner. "We felt like we had the perfect opportunity to come and change many lives."
Baker has spent much of his life interested in fitness and quality of life. He is aware of Kentucky and Grant County's obesity levels and many of the health-related issues that accompany that distinction.
Grant County will soon be "wet."
By a 525-vote margin, voters were in favor of county-wide alcohol sales during the Dec. 22 local option election.
There were 2,424 votes in favor and 1,899 in opposition.
Dry Ridge, Williamstown and Corinth are already "moist," meaning alcohol sales by the drink are allowed in qualifying restaurants.
From continued work on the Ark Encounter to Grant County voting to go 'wet,' there were many news stories on the front page of the Grant County News during 2015 that will have a lasting impact on the community.
This is a sample of the stories from the year.
The voters of Grant County will go to the polls on Tuesday, Dec. 22 and decide whether all of the county will be 'wet' or whether it will remain 'moist' with liquor by the drink allowed in the city limits of Corinth, Dry Ridge and Williamstown.
Those supporting the end of prohibition say that the impact will be a boost to the economy and increased revenue for the county's budget.

BAGHDAD (Army News Service, July 13, 2010) -- Short and squat in stature, with spindly legs sticking out underneath and a loud, whiny engine like a leaf-blower on steroids, the gasoline-powered Micro Air Vehicle, or gMAV, won't be winning beauty contests anytime soon.
But this ugly duckling of the unmanned aerial systems world is in fact a valuable tool, especially when conducting route clearance missions in search of improvised explosive devices, such as with the 4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, now in Iraq.
"When we first saw it, we thought it was a flying George Foreman [grill]," said Spc. Josh Judson, who said he's also heard the UAS described as a trashcan, a barbecue grill, and even a beer keg.
A combat engineer-turned-gMAV operator, Judson and fellow Soldiers from 38th Engineer Company, recently gave a demonstration of the device's capabilities to members of the 4-2 Stryker BCT command group.
"You don't really know what it does until you see it fly," he said.
The gMAV, weighing in at roughly 18 pounds, is a Class I system. While in the air, it is capable of stopping to hover using its cameras to capture video and still images of the ground below.
"It gives us situational awareness from the air," said Judson, explaining that it can be used in both night and day route clearance missions. "It gives us an idea of what's going on ahead of us, what's behind us, and any [IED] emplacers that might be coming along our way."
Though some are turned off to the gMAV by the very un-stealthy droning sound its engine makes, Judson said when on a very noticeable and high-profile mission like route clearance, the aircraft's noise is actually helpful.
"The truth is, we come in white-light, bright and loud," he said. "So why not add a little bit more deterrent to it'"
He and other members of 38th Engineer Company, were taught how to operate the gMAV during a nine-day course taught at Camp Taji.
Although it's not exactly what he signed up to do as a combat engineer, Judson said that he enjoys flying the gMAV.
"I like the fact that I can give the ground command something in the convoy -- it's my piece," he said. "It's all of our pieces, those that fly the gMAV. It's what we do."

Special Cash Dividends Are Not So Special
(DELL), Intel (INTC) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) because it had the foresight to shift from hardware to the key area of growth. In addition, IBM increased its share buyback program in October by 75% to $11.7 billion said it plans to ask the board to authorize more in April 2013 as it seeks to improve shareholder returns.Follow OptionsProfits on Twitter at twitter.com/OptionsProfits.A regular, steadily growing dividend rewards long-time investors for sticking around, especially in this low interest rate environment. Share buybacks cut the amount of shares outstanding, which helps boost earnings for a profitable company. But a special dividend is just a return of capital. At best, it indicates that management really doesn't know what else to do with the cash to grow their companies. At worst, it's a case of management members lining their own pockets. So what is a good candidate for a well-rounded investment? One of my favorite core portfolio holdings is IBM. Big Blue actually has taken up its dividend 13% in 2012 and continues to use its cash to grow in key areas such as services and analytics, which is 80% of the business. Just look at how well IBM has performed relative to peer such as Dell

Scott was one of the first major manufacturers to launch a super-lightweight road bike when it created the original Addict. The newly reimagined model is not only lighter, it has a nod to aerodynamics with F01 tube profiles developed for Scott's Foil aero road machine: a partial aerofoil shape that cuts into the air smoothly and reduces drag while staying within the UCI's regulations.
That said, our test bike is so light – with a claimed 790g frame and 300g fork – that at 6.34kg it would fall foul of the cycling authority's minimum weight restrictions.
The kit is based around 11-speed Dura-Ace, Shimano's top-level slick-shifting mechanical groupset. We did think the pro-style gearing – 53/39 chainset, 11-25 cassette – might leave us struggling on steeper climbs, but the bike's low overall weight and lightweight wheels meant that was never the case. We'd have preferred something a little easier, but we made it up all the same…
The RL1.1 wheels are from Syncros – now part of Scott – and at just 1310g (575g front, 735g rear) they're light for clinchers. The full carbon 28mm deep/ 21mm wide rim is combined with straight-pull spokes and a DT Swiss hub.
The remainder of the kit also comes from Syncros – and it, too, is light. The carbon bar weighs 225g, the saddle less than 180g, and with a carbon seatpost and stem you can see how the Scott hardly troubles the scales.
The Addict uses F01 aero tube shapes conceived for the Foil aero road bike
The focus of the Addict's racing geometry is a near-parallel 73.3-degree head and 73-degree seat angle with a wheelbase a fraction over 1m. The angles mean a snappy response to turn-in, the length gives it a certain amount of stability, and over rolling terrain the Addict is an easy bike to ride quickly. Even when things do get more twisty it never leaves you feeling nervous.
The Addict also rides superbly on smooth roads, enabling you to gain plenty of pace and keep your momentum. Over poorer surfaces you do feel a little disconnected, though, the bike feeling as if it's skipping across the surface rather than adhering to it. After a few hours this can become a little tiring and you need to keep your concentration levels high.
It's when the going points upwards that the Addict really comes into its own, though. Those lightweight carbon wheels turn the Team Issue into a phenomenal climber, encouraging you to attack every incline.
Syncros's lightweight carbon clinchers are great for climbing, not so good for braking
On descents the carbon rims can cause the braking to be a little grabby, even with Dura-Ace's normally powerful and controlled performance and excellent SwissStop pads. And they retain plenty of heat on long descents too, which will affect tyre pressures, so we wouldn't recommend you using lightweight or latex tubes.
Overall, though, we love the Addict's charms and for lighter riders especially the Team Issue makes perfect sense. The aggressive geometry results in pitch-perfect handling, and although some bikes better it for compliance over rougher surfaces, we'd easily live with that thanks to the Scott's plentiful positives.

On my two visits to Plaka Estiatorio for this week's review, it was clear that the restaurant was a multigenerational, family-owned business. In fact, it seemed like everyone was related.
When our first waiter, a burly guy with a goatee who was in his 30s, came over to clear plates, he led off the dessert pitch to us by proposing the rice pudding in the glass case across from us. "My grandmother just made it this morning," he said by way of advertisement.
Next visit, different waiter, this one a tall, curly-headed guy -- about the same age as the first -- who could have a career as a telenovela leading man if he picked up some Spanish. He ran down the dessert list, and also started by selling the rice pudding. "My aunt made it fresh today!" he said. That would make him the first guy's first cousin once removed?When I called the restaurant to confirm details, I asked how many family members were involved in the restaurant. The woman who answered the phone confirmed that Plaka's owners were Anthony and Ourania Mandapat, and Ourania's parents were the older couple helping out.
"Any other grandkids involved?" I probed. No. "And who makes the rice pudding?" The woman asked why, and I explained the aunt-grandmother conundrum.
"Oh, I don't know anything about that," she said, a little flustered.
Reminds me of Charles, the longtime waiter at Filiberto's (RIP) who always referred to the chef as "Mama" even though they weren't related.

Crotch Strap Debate
In regard to your blog on crotch straps: Makers should build a better PFD, attached to step-in drawers. These would resemble a ballet leotard and be below the PFD buoyancy chambers. Also, marine supply stores should offer loaner PFDs for sailors to test in controlled water-immersion pools. Most sailors have never worn a PFD in deep water. Feeling that jacket trying to slip over your head would encourage rapid innovation.

How do you become/maintain an interest in savings/investments?
(18 Posts)
Top sources of info?
After many years of not having very much money at all, we appear to have a good stable income and we now manage to save more money than I need to spend.
We have joint finances but neither DH nor myself are terribly good at managing it - in the sense we have savings in low interest accounts (are there any others these days?) and very few in investments/property etc.
I periodically feel I should get better at managing money but rarely manage to keep on top of it - to be clear it's not the budgeting aspect I find difficult it's the what to do with it when I've saved it.
So how did you get interested in investments, how do you maintain this and what are your top sources of information for new products/best investment advice etc etc.
We have no major debts beyond a mortgage on a very low interest rate, both have good pensions. I realise this is not the usual money problem most people have...
Sorry of no help with investments but would also love to see what others are up to. We're saving for a house so have a bit in current accounts, but need to start putting cash somewhere else.
We have a nationwide current account, and two bank of Scotland accounts which keeps £12500 getting interest. Those accounts don't need dd coming out.
I'm applying for a first direct account which will give me access to a savings account too, it only allows £300 a month, but the interest is better than ISAs ATM. This years ISA is a virgin 2 year one as I heard it was best.
Don't have enough money to do more than basic savings/ISA, so I use savingschampion.co.uk to see the best rates.
the 'best' rates are in current accounts at the moment, and this involves a varying amount of faffing about to just about keep pace with inflation.
this list will help:
best rates are summarised as follows. These accounts need varying payments in, but you can move money between them with standing orders so you don't need a big income. Or indeed any income!
5% in the TSB Classic plus, you can have 2 each, max 2k, no DDs needed
5% in the Nationwide, 1 year only, 1 each
4% Club Lloyds: max 5k, 2 DDs
3%: Bank of Scotland vantage (3 per person), TSB Enhance (3 per person)
Santander 123: 1 each but max £20k. £2 a month fee, needs DDs.
Tesco current: max 3k.
anything lower, don't bother.
Thanks for the suggestions!
I'm definitely mostly interested in non-bank savings investing right now.
Consider what risk you are happy to accept. Company bonds can give a 6% return but there is risk, you can lose the amount invested. Companies like JohnLewis have bond issues from time to time.
You need to think timescale - generally you should have 3 months income in short term savings accounts. After that, i would move into shares, probably through a low cost tracker fund.
Make sure you use the full ISA allowance each year first.
Unless you learn about it in depth and it interests you, I would do something simple and then review every year.
The other thing is to consider your saving goals -ie what will you spend the money on?
Thanks for your help ladies. We're there already with savings/ISAs etc. It's where do we go from here that I really need help with.
Where would you look first to learn about these kind of things?
It depends on what you mean about where you start. Do you understand how companies/stock markets work, bonds, investment trusts etc?
If not I would recommend the weekend money pages on the proper papers and saturday's FT.
I also like Warran Buffett's (world's most successful investor) letters he write to his shareholders here
Thanks for the link caroldecker. I do more or less understand how this stuff works. I think the problem is choice over load - there are just way too many products on the market and I don't even know where to begin in making a choice about what to go for!
It's a good idea to be goal focused though.
I think I should do this more...
Agree there is lots of choice, but I would look at it one of 3 ways (and can mix and match), depending on your interest/time and goals.
1. Goal - better result than cash - little day to day management - UK/US/Europe main market (FTSE/SP) tracker (although fx risk with overseas). Buy through fund supermarket, invest monthly and ignore (except for tax return and when you want to spend it). Make sure it is a proper traker and doesn't use derivatives.
2. Goal - holiday of a lifetime or bust - little day to day mangement - emerging market or commodity (eg gold) tracker - set a large goal (based on cost of holiday), check prices monthly and sell when you have made it - can be risky
3. Goal - get involved in managing money - review daily/weekly - set up an account with a broker (money supermarket has some options), read about companies (eg investor chronicle) - buy those that you think have potential, often those with products you see trending at school/work
Of the 3, option 1 is most likely to make money in the long term, but least interesting.
Option 2 does not involve much time and can be fun planning the spending (although you may never get the money).
Option 3 is great if you enjoy it, but rubbish if not
Thanks for that caroldecker that really helpfully summarises it for me!
Can I ask which companies (online in particular) you would use/suggest for these. I imagine moneysupermarket would be good for option 1? (Given cost of university these days, this is an appealing option.
I'm not quite sure I'm up to option 3 yet but I do like the idea of option 2 as well...
Money supermarket is good.
I would also look at Hargreaves Lansdown
Also search for articles such as this which will highlight soem of the cheapest deals
I may be flamed for this but have found the money section of the Daily Mail online app really useful in expanding my knowledge of finance and investment. Had originally started to read up as I had taken on Power of Attorney duties but being up to speed financially has caused us to pay more attention to our own finance (SIPPs, ISAs, trackers, remortgage).
Read the Motley Fool before getting into investments. Basically they suggest finding a FTSE All Share (ie 250 index not the 100) investment or unit trust with the lowest possible fees (Se M&G or L&G) and then investing monthly via direct debit. This uses share price averaging so that you don't have to worry so much about when to buy as you are drip feeding into the market. This will probably get you about 14% annualised growth if you hold for the long term and keep it in an ISA wrapper. Buying shares like this means that you just pay in and a computer does the rest so you don't have to be that interested or knowledgeable. Most computers beat the funds with higher charges that have active fund managers - or at least the lower cost of the tracking computer outpaces the fund manager in the long term as fees eat massively into your returns if you let them.
However alongside or instead of this I would highly recommend that you make overpayments on your mortgage. Many products allow this (check whether they are instantly credited or whether they have a particular day each year and/or any limits on amounts) and get paying to reduce the term. If you use a calculator like this you can see how many years are shaved off the term and more importantly how much you will save in interest payments. If you can pay up to £500 per month the savings get eyewatering large! Being mortgage free is f***ing brilliant. Best thing we ever did.
I am now looking into property to get better returns over the long term and to invest for the kids. I just need to find someone who can advise me on setting it all up properly so the tax man doesn't wreck it all later!
Before anyone comes along thinking I am some over priviledged type, I started work earning less than I could have behind the counter of a book shop. That made me concentrate and save £50 per month as soon as I could afford it into a unit trust (as above). Every time I had a pay rise, I would give myself half to "spend" and half to "save". Over the years this has served me very well so I have choices now because of the wonders of compound interest. I am doing the same for my kids now using the child benefit which we top up and save into low cost trackers/JISAs for them. The amounts are not large but over the long term small amounts really add up using the drip feed method.
Good luck!
Oh I forgot to say that all of the above is irrelevant if you have loans. Credit is expensive and must be avoided!! Before you start saving you must get rid of any outstanding loans - just compare the interest you pay out compared with the interest that you are getting in from a savings account and you will weep.
Thanks for all your input ladies.
This is really helpful background.
I have also had a couple of books recommended to me which I have started ploughing through. I thought I would post the titles here as they also seem to be quite good so far and may be useful to others. Namely:
The FT guide to wealth management by Jason Butler
FT guide to wealth management
And not looked at yet but same series:
The FT guide to Investing by Glenn Arnold
Don't bother with anything else until your mortgage is zero. Use any spare money to pay that off.

Trevi S.p.A.
|Trevi S.p.A. Patent applications
|Patent application number
|TOOLS AND METHODS FOR CONSTRUCTING LARGE DIAMETER UNDERGROUND PILES - Methods are provided for the creation of large diameter piles in all types of soils (cohesive, cohesionless or rocky), particularly for the construction of bulkheads made of juxtaposed or secant piles, while maintaining the deviation from the vertical well below the limit ≦2% required by European standard EN 1536. The invention reduces verticality errors, advantageously exploiting the accuracy provided by the directional drilling technology. Tools for implementing such methods are also provided.
|METHODS FOR DIRECTING VERTICAL DRILLING - Methods allowing precise directional drilling are provided. Such methods include use of directional drilling equipment which include a drill string with a hollow bottom rod connected to a boring tool by means of an obtuse-angle connection piece or "bent sub". In order to restore the verticality of the drilling a vertical borehole section (F) is formed and then a probe equipped with an inclinometer is lowered inside the bottom rod. The string may be rotated into four angular positions and the inclination values of the probe in each angular position are detected at the depth reached. The string is rotated so as to bring it into an angular position corresponding to the maximum inclination value detected. The string is moved so as to move the boring tool further downwards and the inclination of the probe is detected again in order to check that verticality has been reached.
|METHODS FOR WATERPROOFING DEPOSITING SITES - An object of the present invention is to provide methods for laying a waterproofing layer which may be used for forming the bottom and the walls of depositing sites so as to comply, both in literal and in substantial terms, with the legal requirements. The aim is also to provide durable waterproof barriers which have a high mechanical strength, without discontinuity.
|HEAD FOR INJECTING CONSOLIDATING PRESSURISED FLUID MIXTURES INTO THE GROUND - A head includes an outer cylindrical body with at least one upper inlet for fluids, at least one outlet side nozzle and at least one helical duct having a helical central line. The duct connects the upper inlet to the nozzle and imparts the fluid flowing through it a helical motion about the longitudinal axis of the outer body towards the nozzle. The helical duct is progressively tapered towards the nozzle and includes a terminal length of the duct which is radiused to the nozzle in a tapered manner, both when viewed in cross-sectional planes parallel to the longitudinal axis and tangent to the helical central line, as well as when viewed in cross-sectional planes perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

I have this othervise great guestbook activated. I've done as it says to install it and so on.
But when I visit the guestbookpage there is a short page where is says "Guestbook" (which I named the page), and then there is a blank short page. After that there is some space, maybe 5mm. And then there is the guestbook itself. I would like them to be the same page, blend in together. I don't want any space in the middle.
How can you help me? i think it has something to do with the theme, 'cause I tried with other themes and then the whole guestbook looked different in many ways, but no one had that space.
The theme I'm using is Emphaino, if that has something to do with it.

The Liquor Control Board opened over two dozen more state liquor stores for Sunday sales (noon to 5pm), beginning yesterday. In our county, the following stores are now open to serve you when you most need to be served:
And the following stores already do business on Sundays: Queen Anne - 515 1st Ave. N
U. Village - 2746 NE 45th
Capitol Hill - 1605 12 Ave.
Uh, what 2nd & Seneca??? The WSLCB is missing out on the dollars of thousands of cruise ship bound Midwesterners and other tourists. Oh brother, why do I keep pretending like the LCB cares? The full list of Sunday saling stores is available in PDF HERE.
