bling for the bike
By shelly
from upstate ny
About Me Casual/ Recreational
I havent put this cyclometer to the test yet like the other cateye ihave. Only downfall I had with other cateye, same model different color, was it would decide all of a sudden to reset itself once it hit a certain mileage. I wanted some color for this bike and this KOM scheme was lerfect for my bike
CatEye wireless
By Svenkflika
from New York
This was a birthday gift for my Dad. He said he misplaced his old computer, so after reading the reviews, I thought this would be the right fit for him, as he's a casual rider. He just loves it! ... And it matches his orange helmet too.
All I need.
By Mike
from Guilford, CT
I have the non-polka dot version on my touring bike and got this for my commuter. It goes on in seconds, but the strap sticking out detracts a little from the looks.The two resettable mileage counters are nice; I reset one daily, and the other weekly. That is if don't accidentally reset one or the other when I'm moving the bike around. I think they're too easy to turn back to zero. The odometer does not reset though.I've ridden in lots of rain and didn't have any problems. The polka-dot version was discounted compared to the black one on Nashbar - same computer. And who doesn't need polka dots on their bike?
finally went wireless
By Greg
from Long Island, NY
After years of using my Vetta C-20, I went wireless. Picked up a CatEye, since a buddy has 4 on his bikes. Accurate, multiple mount positions & easy to use. Best of all, no more wire. Should have purchased years ago.

Good basic computer
By Dr Calvert
from Templeton, Ca
Cheap, basic, and everything you would expect. I bought it so it would help me keep an eye on progress without having to pull out my phone with my cycling app. I also look forward to using it to put those red polka dots to justice.

My front door is sticking on the side opposite side of the door hinges. Standing back and looking at the door, it slants slightly from left to right. The left side is the side of the hinges. Is there a simple way of correcting the problem without having to buy another front door.
- Forum >
- Windows & Doors >
- Front Door Sticking
If it's a wood door simply use a wood plane to correct the sticking problem. It sounds like the house or walls have settled some, so I doubt that you will be able to correct the slant. Good luck!
I would check the screws to make sure they are tight holding the hinges. But it sounds like you have a wood door that is glued and pressed together, if that is the case then the way to fix it correctly would be to have it either taken apart, reglued and repressed or buy a new door. Thats a normal problem with wood doors. If you use the wood plane and trim the side that is sticking most likely after a short period of time it will drop and start to stick again. Its literally falling apart and needs to be repaired.
Good luck...

Posts Tagged 'flashback friday challenges'
If I had money to pay you to post your applicable projects on the Flashback Friday challenge blog, I would! And I say that because it is SOOO easy to enter these challenges. All I did was search my blog for things that fit this challenge, #24, which involves posting my first masculine card, then instead of linking to the original post I created for the card, I'm creating this new one and linking to it on the Flashback Friday site. But you never have to create something new for this challenge! How on earth can you possibly beat that?
The first masculine card I ever posted is this one, which I created for a former friend who was in jail at the time for DUI. For some inexplicable reason {seriously}, I wrote to him OFTEN while he was in jail, including sending him cards, and after he got out of jail, we barely ever heard from him. In fact, he called us about 9 months after he got out of jail, saying that he'd be getting married soon but that no, we weren't invited to the wedding because it was going to be so small. Since then we've heard nothing. Just proves that not all friendships last a lifetime {guess I'd chalk that one up to being "season"}.
Or maybe he hasn't communicated more because he can't believe I sent him this card?!?!
AmyT's Flashback Friday Challenge 23 is being hosted by Janice of Twin2U2 Designs, and the challenge is to showcase the first card that you ever made with butterflies and posted on your blog. Seriously, these challenges are awesome because you don't have to go create something new! Just post a project according to the challenge and you're in the running for awesome prizes!
So the card that I'm sharing was created in October 2008, and originally posted on November 4, 2008! I spent approximately a year starting July 2008, creating made-to-order cards for a guy at USDA and his wife. This card is one I created for the wife's mother, who loves daffodils. The part I don't like about reposting this card is how I colored Bella; thank goodness my Copic abilities improved!! I have to recognize my hubby on this one because when I realized I had ZILCH in my stash in the way of daffodils, so he drove over to Hobby Lobby and asked nearly every employee there about scrapbooking daffodils. He came home with a K&Company sheet of embossed stickers. He is awesome!
AmyT's Flashback Friday challenge is being hosted by Miriam and involves your first project using a die cut. I honestly don't remember if this is the very first project I made with a die cut, but it's certainly the first one I posted, so I'm going with that LOL
When my sweet sister Cindy in New Zealand generously bought me my AlienBug {Cuttlebug}, I swore to use it as often as possible. What a wonderful gift! The family and I were at Joann's one day, about four years ago, when I noticed this gift die on huge sale. It's a cut/emboss die all in one. I originally posted this card in August 2008
You just have to play along with each Flashback Friday challenge! You don't even have to make a project, you just need to find on your blog and post the project that fits the challenge! Easy peasy and fun!
I just did a bunch of commenting on my favorite inspirationally creative sites, and I remembered that AmyT posted the next Flashback Friday challenge, hosted by guest designer Hazel, and we need to post our first CleanAndSimple {CAS} card.
Well, I think you could say that my early cards were leaning a bit on the CAS side the whole time. Were it not for the creativity and inspiration and new tools that I found posted on a now-defunct MSN groups site called Scrapping Friends, I would have never improved in this craft. That was a pivotal group in which I could be involved, and I still have so much respect and love for some of those ladies. Were it not for that group, I perish the thought that I might not have met Tina, one of the best and brightest people/friendships of my creative life. I am constantly trying to be more like she is in my craft. And Terri, also inspirational to me in many ways including in her layouts, is one of the kindest, most trustworthy people I've ever met. Yes, I can say that I actually got to meet in person some of the ladies in that group. It's an experience I won't ever forget {stay away Alzheimer's, I'll give YOU a run for your money!}.
That being said, I'm just going to post the first card I ever posted, back in 2008 when I started this blog, and of course it doesn't disappoint in the CAS area!!
Flashback Friday challenge #16
Posted October 24, 2011on:
This month's Flashback Friday challenge {hi AmyT!} is brought to you by Pam, and she challenged folks to post their first Tag! I started this blog in July/August 2008, so I went a'searchin' for the first tag I posted. Yikes, I created this tag in December 2007, for a previous friend of mine. As you might be able to see, I tried my hand with alcohol inks and those white metal snowflake brads. At the time I thought this was one of the coolest things I'd ever made; now, not so much. Oh well, a person shouldn't lament where she came from in order to be better now!
Won't you please post your first-ever tag over at Flashback Friday?!
Interesting Flashback Friday!
Posted August 17, 2011on:
The incomparable AmyT's current Flashback Friday challenge is to share your first gift card holder, and I am in utter shock, so of course I thought I'd share that shock with YOU! I have received awesome gift card holders from some of my most awesome friends, with this one being my absolute favorite ~~ I did NOT make this one:
And I'm utterly stunned to say that apparently I have not made an actual gift CARD holder. I did, however, find something that I believe will still work for this challenge: a pseudo-card holder. What? Well, it's a card with a sewn-on front pouch, for which I created a removable insert that invites the recipient to an all-expenses-paid visit to a winery.
I sure hope this qualifies for the wonderful challenge that Lawren Fowlkes is hosting on Flashback Friday!!
Another Flashback Friday!
Posted July 10, 2011on:
Since I have completely dismantled my scrapping area, I will now be looking forward to every single Flashback Friday challenge! If it weren't for AmyT, I wouldn't have a creative outlet for the time being!
This week's Flashback is courtesy of Julie Elak, who asked for us to share the first non-Traditionally-Shaped card. I searched and searched my blog for one, and it took so long that I stopped at the first one I found LOL I looove the template for this card!

Update on GideonGideon used his previous loan of 40,000 KES (Kenya shillings) to buy bananas, mangoes, and tomatoes to sell. This loan helped him to grow his business and his financial status, enabling him to improve his living standards. He hopes to provide quality education to his children.
He has requested for a loan of 80,000 KES to add to his stock of fruits and vegetables.
Previous Loan DetailsGideon is a member of the Big Hope group in Faulu Kenya. He has been running a green grocery for four years.

More from Gideon's previous loan »
Additional Information
About Faulu KenyaFaulu Kenya aims to empower Kenyans by providing relevant financial solutions. Faulu is a sustainable and profitable microfinance institution that offers savings and credit services to over 225,000 Kenyans. Faulu recently became the first MFI in Kenya to be licensed as a Deposit-Taking Micro-Finance Company, which will enable Faulu to better serve its clients.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Feb 26 2010Amazing 30K Piece LEGO Droid Control Ship
This is a stunning 30,000 piece LEGO replica of the Star Wars Droid Control Ship. It took builder Paul Yperman two years and a small fortune in LEGO bricks to construct. However, it did not take a pyrotechnics license. Boooooooooooooooo!! FIREWORKS SHIP NEEDS MORE FIREWORKS.
Some years ago I walked into a second hand book shop and I bought a Star Wars Cross sections book. In the center stood the Droid Control Ship. It blew my mind and I knew I had to build it.
I used almost 30000 parts. Lots in the center globe that I build with the aid of a building program that I found on the web. 3500 tiles to cover the outside structure. Lots of Technic parts to make the inside frame, so I could move, lift and take it apart without breaking it. The technic parts are joined left/ right and top / bottom, resulting in a firm and solid almost selfcarrying structure.
First of all, who the hell parts with a Star Wars cross-section book? CAUSE THEY BETTER HAVE DIED. Secondly, I'm serious, who would do that? That's like sneaking original, unopened He-Man figures into Toys R Us and putting them back on the shelf. You gotta be crazy!
Hit the jump for a bunch more of the amazing amazingness, as well as the link to higher-res shots.

I always like those cross-section style books.
Oh, and #1 is a flaming homosexual.
that's no planet
Great build, but why not make a ship from one of the *good* Star Wars movies?
That's no moon.
@3 How is it insulting to say I love someone of the same sex as myself? I find your lack of tolerance disturbing.
That is fantastic.
I just orgasmed it's so good.
@7 is a flaming heterosexual.
Hmm, how about a flaming narcissist? Flaming pyromaniac?
I'm a flaming solipsist myself. I hope that's OK with the rest of you.
Oh, and @ 1, that's what she said.
Why the F would you build your hanger bay pointed right into the other hanger bay a few hundred feet away on the other side of the ship?
And this dudes sex life for the last two years has consisted of a mayonnaise jar
Huh. Anyway...
To protect the interior of the hanger bay from direct bombardment from other capital ships.
What a waste of perfectly good lego bricks.
that's no planet
Oh Lego Replica of of the Star Wars looks an amazing and I wonder that how this was made.There are 30,000 piece which is such a huge number.I like your technique for this..
Imagine having to go from one open edge of the ship to the other. It is faster to just fly from one hangar to the other rather that traveling around the whole ship!
yea, I need a brake...

If you're getting bored of garter and stockinette stitch, try something new! I personally love experimenting with the textures of different stitches. Looking through the many stitches on StitchFinder, I always ask "What can I make with that stitch?" The truth is I have too many ideas! Belts, scarves, shawls, blankets, maybe add a little lace here or a cable there… So I thought I'd share a few ideas with you.
First of all, when you're experimenting with a new stitch, you really should do a gauge swatch. But it's not so bad, you'll get the hang of the stitch and you can create a washcloth or squares for a patchwork blanket! Once you know the gauge you'll be able to make a better decision about what to make and how many stitches to cast on.
Making anything square or rectangular with your new stitch will be a cinch! Just decide on the length and width of your project and divide by the length and width of a repeat in your gauge swatch. Just make sure you're starting with the right number of stitches for your stitch pattern (for example, if your stitch pattern says "chain a multiple of 6 + 3" and you want 10 repeats you would chain 63). From there you can make scarves, shawls, blankets, or pillow covers! If you make a long skinny strip and add two D-ring to one end you'll have a belt! If you knit a rectangle, fold it in half, sew two sides together, and add a strap, you have a purse!
You can also add a new stitch to an existing pattern or idea. Substitute stockinette for a more textured stitch; switch out one lace pattern for another or switch cables. By simply switching up the stitch you use you keep your projects interesting!

To be clear, there are two ideologies about divorce in Ontario, Canada. One is that there is no such thing as filing for legal separation. Separation agreements Canada are clear and distinct.
When is a Couple Legally Separated?
Actually, you are legally separated when a couple is living separate and apart. Another ideology is that there is no such thing as being completely divorced after so many years of being apart; even if you have been separated for 25 years. In reality, you are still legally married.
Three Reasons for Divorce in Canada
In Canada, there are only three reasons for divorce; living separate and apart for more than a year, adultery and physical or mental cruelty. If possible, one should have a lawyer draft your separation agreement. If, while this is going on, there are issues that are causing problems, you may want to consider getting help from a mediator. For more information on this topic, check out Trusted Divorce – Canadian resource.
To conclude, divorce in Canada clearly has different guidelines than that of the US and other countries and for a legal divorce to occur, these guidelines must be followed carefully. Find out more about divorce in Canada from the many fine articles on the Internet.

Intensive insulin therapy to maintain normal levels of blood glucose (4.4 to 6.1 mmol/L [80 to 110 mg/dL]) during intensive care improves survival and reduces morbidity of critically ill patients after complicated, high-risk, or extensive surgery or trauma (1). Clear benefit from this intervention requires maintenance of tight blood glucose control for at least a few days (2). The mechanism by which maintaining normoglycemia prevents adverse outcomes is not fully understood. One possibility is that avoiding sustained cellular glucose overload and toxicity in certain cell types reduces the likelihood for vital organ dysfunction (3). Avoiding glucose toxicity seems to prevent damage to the mitochondrion, the organelle that generates energy for cellular functions (4).

In a recent editorial, the excess death and stroke (harm) from tight blood glucose control with insulin therapy was explained as a lack of benefit from that intervention during cardiac surgery (1). The deleterious outcome from hypoglycemia and tight blood glucose control are most frequently related to cardiac and/or neurologic adverse events (2-4). The variability of the hypoglycemic threshold associated with increased risk for adverse events and death is largely influenced by patient age, pre- existing comorbidities, acute illness characteristics and concurrent medications. In fact, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services national collaborative for the prevention of surgical site infections selected a much higher glucose target (<200 mg/dl) because of safety concerns from strict postoperative blood glucose control (5). A prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center European study comparing insulin use to achieve glycemic control ranges (80 to 110) mg/dl versus (140 to180) mg/dl in the intensive care unit was terminated early because of safety issues arising from high rate of hypoglycemic events in patients randomized to the lower glycemic control range (6). It is imperative to exercise clinical judgment before adopting tight glucose control with insulin to avoid attributable death and morbidity in the critically ill.

In the extraordinary growth of our pharmacologic and basic science ability to control protein production, we may ignore post-translational modification events such as glycosylation or glycation to our peril. We wonder whether tight control of glucose might therefore alter protein receptor and soluble protein function in critically ill patients in a beneficial manner. (Or rather, poor control alter the same proteins in a harmful fashion.)
The rat ocular angiogenesis model is sometime discussed as a surrogate for vascular remodelling and collateralization. In the course of our efforts to define the angiogenic role of endothelin (Bek EL, McMillen MA, Endothelins are angiogenic, J. Cardiovasc. Pharm, 2000,, S135 -S139) we asked what effect inducing diabetes in the assay rat might have. Endothelin and interleukin-8-mediated angiogenesis was inhibited, but vascular endothelial growth factor-mediate angiogenesis was not (Bek EL, McMillen MA, Scott P, Anug LD, and Shaftan GW, Clinical Science, 2002, 424S-429S.)
As endothelin receptor glycosylation variation has been shown to alter both receptor immunogenicity as well as receptor function, we assumed that our data suggested that poorly controlled diabetes altered some aspect of some angiogenesis-mediating substances, but not all. These factors are almost certainly important in patients healing wounds and recovering from surgery. We have perceived the clinical studies on tight glucose control, despite the controversy, to be strongly suggestive that protein receptor glycosylation or glycation may have protean beneficial effects in healing intensive care unit patients.
Dear Editor,
We were surprised by the editorial, "Does Tight Blood Glucose Control during Cardiac Surgery Improve Patient Outcome," in the February 2007 issue of the Annals. After we read Gandhi et al.'s article (1), we concluded that intensive intraoperative insulin therapy should be administered with caution if not avoided altogether. However, Dr. Van den Berghe's conclusion, based on her 2001 study (2), is that intensive insulin therapy to maintain blood levels of glucose at 4.4-6.1 mmol/L (80- 110 mg/dL) during intensive care improves survival and reduces morbidity of critically ill patients after complicated, high risk or extensive surgery, or trauma. Because the patients in Dr. Gandhi's study had intensive insulin therapy not only in the operating room, but also in the intensive care unit (ICU), no benefit could be seen because, according to Dr. Van den Berghe, "Postoperative tight glucose control has such a strong effect on the outcome of cardiac surgical patients that any additional effect of tight blood glucose control initiated only a few hours earlier, during an operation, is likely to be quite small." Interestingly, in examining the tables in her 2001 study, general surgery patients and trauma patients had worse outcomes if blood glucose levels were tightly controlled.
The original ICU study by Dr. Van den Berghe et al. is the only prospective, randomized, controlled study that has shown that the benefits of intensive insulin therapy in the ICU outweigh the risks (2). And yet several groups, including the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and the American College of Endocrinology, have accepted and promulgated intensive insulin therapy as the standard of care.
We find this of concern because several other prospective, randomized control trials have not shown improvement in mortality in noncardiac surgical patients (Van den Berghe's medical intensive care unit study [3], the European GluControl study [4], and the German VISEP study [5]). After 2,000 patients had been enrolled in the NICE-SUGAR study (6), an interim analysis showed no effect either on outcome or complications, and the study is still underway. The NICE-SUGAR investigators have concluded that perhaps 6000 to 8000 patients may have to be enrolled to see an effect, if indeed one exists. Within the United States, there is enough concern about the potential conflicts between the outcomes of these different studies that the Society of Critical Care Medicine is conducting a survey to determine what physicians' practices are. Several editorials have concluded that changes in practice should not be based on a single, prospective, randomized, controlled trial, and that more research needs to be done (7-12). Unfortunately, it is unlikely that Van den Berghe's original study will ever be duplicated because the mortality rate in the control group at over 5% was excessive, and no one is going to administer 300 gm of glucose intravenously over a 24-hour period to artificially raise blood glucose levels (6). Our own Institutional Review Boards would never allow us to conduct such a study.
Does blood glucose control during cardiac surgery improve patient outcome? The large longitudinal database from the Portland Diabetic Project would strongly support the concept that improved perioperative glucose control starting at the onset of surgery, prior to the induction of anesthesia, and continuing for the first 2 days postoperatively, improves outcome in coronary artery bypass patients (12). This appears to be dependent, in part, on institutional approach, resource availability, glucose goal, and recognition of potentially unforeseen effects while attempting to meet this goal. Does tight blood glucose control in the ICU improve outcome? Perhaps, but this remains a complex and unresolved question. We need to know the type of patients who benefit and the glucose level that confers benefit, while minimizing side effects and costs. We are not nihilistically calling for a return to a more laissez faire approach to glucose control (say maintain glucose < 10.0-12.2 mmol/L [< 180-220 mg/dL]), but are concerned about widespread application or misapplication of practice guidelines based on limited data or data from one critically ill population being applied more globally. While Dr. Van den Berghe concludes that the Ghandi et al. study did not show benefit because of the use of intensive insulin therapy in the operating room, we conclude as do Ghandi et al. from their study that the increased incidence of death and stroke raise concern about intensive insulin therapy with a goal to maintain glucose at 4.4-5.1 mmol/L (80 to 100 mg/dL).

The Vatican Strikes Back
Kovel, Joel, Monthly Review
The Vatican's recently released Instruction on Certain Aspects of the "Theology of Liberation' (Dublin: Veritas Publications, 1984; henceforth referred to as Instruction) is doleful but essential reading for those of us who have begun to rethink the traditional hostility between religion and the left. The work of one of Catholicism's leading ideologians, Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Instruction is a key link in Pope John Paul II's counteroffensive against the challenge to orthodoxy represented by liberation theology, and is to be seen in context alongside other recent events, such as the trial of Fr. Leonardo Boff of Brazil and the attempt to set the Peruvian church against Fr. Gustavo Gutierrez.
Instruction is of special interest because it attempts to thwart an association between liberation theology and Marxism. This is all the more remarkable, since as anyone familiar with liberation theology can attest, its actual proponents are anything but systematic Marxists. For example, Gutierrez, the most influential of the group, keeps his remarks concerning Marxism strictly tangential to theological discourse.1 As Arthur McGovern puts it, "direct references to Marxist analysis occur much less frequently than one would be led by critics to expect, and references to Marx tend to be qualified when they are made.'2 The same observation has been made by Phillip Berryman: "none of [liberation theology's] major exponents have devoted systematic attention to Marxism as such, with the exception of Jose Porfirio Miranda. . . .' (of whom, more below).3 Certainly the great majority of Christian base communities, those spontaneously arising collectives of believers who comprise the social base of liberation theology throughout Central and South America, cannot be said to have any kind of consciously Marxist perspective.
And yet Instruction is suffused, one might even say obsessed, with the notion that Marxism is either incipiently or actually taking over the liberation theology movement and turning it to its sinister purposes. Does the Pope know something that no one else does? What is the point of this curious diatribe, its logic honed over centuries of fending off heresy, and turned here toward what at first glance appears to be a largely imaginary threat?
Instruction is not a particularly long document, and its principal argument can be readily summarized: the phenomenal injustice in the world which has given rise to liberation theology (and, of course, to Marxism as well) is recognized, and the causes of this injustice are described, as are the alleged inadequacies of liberation theology-Marxism for dealing with them. Finally, the Catholic church is affirmed as the true champion of liberation. Embedded in the text, then, are distinct critiques of liberation theology and Marxism, a defense of the traditional church, and a theological conception of history that ties the whole argument together. It is perhaps best to begin with the latter, as it provides the underpinning for the rest of Ratzinger's discourse.
The Vatican's position may be represented as follows: the world groans under a burden of horrible crime and inequities against which humanity is justifiably outraged. The church joins fully in the outcry; it insists, however, that a priority of causes be established, and the ultimate cause of injustice be given its proper place. This cause is sin: "liberation is first and foremost liberation from the radical slavery of sin. Its end and goal is the freedom of the children of God, which is the gift of grace.' (p. 3) Or again, "the root of evil . . . lies in free and responsible persons who have to be converted by the grace of Jesus Christ.' (p. 12) Everything else in Instruction flows from this presupposition, for only the true church is qualified to judge those lapses from God that constitute sin, and only through the church can grace be achieved. …

Reuters report that analysts have reached on consensus on Nokia's Q1 2013 performance, and that they find it mildly encouraging, but hardly a blockbuster.
Analysts are currently expecting a slow but steady improvement in finances, also helped by good performance of their Nokia Siemens unit.
"Its visibility is really poor, and of course there's still a possibility that the Windows strategy will fail. We don't know," said Michael Schroder at Finnish investment group FIM.
"But the base case assumption now is that volumes will gradually come up as the geographical coverage distribution gets wider and product portfolio moves towards lower price points."
Analysts on average forecast first-quarter net sales to fall 11.8 percent from a year earlier to 6.48 billion euros, according to a Reuters poll, a more moderate decline than the 19.6 percent drop reported in the previous quarter.
Quarterly shipments of Lumia phones are seen at 5.6 million units, up from 4.4 million in the fourth quarter and 180% higher than the 2 million Lumias sold in Q1 2013. With Nokia Lumia handsets being around 80% of Windows Phones sold, this predicts around 7 million Windows Phones sold in Q1 2013.
Nokia is expected to lose 0.04 euros per share or around 150 million Euro, improved from 0.08 euros per share a year earlier.
The company's net cash position is expected to have fallen to 3.7 billion by end-March, down from 4.4 billion euros at the end of 2012.
FIM's Schroder has a target of 4.00 euros on the shares. "When looking at sum of parts it's significantly higher. But of course you have to have a discount, with all the uncertainty," he said.Nokia surprised analysts with better than expected numbers and a small profit in Q4 2012. Lets hope they stick closer to that trend than the analysts' prediction.
Great News, over to you Elop to truly stun the market. Everyone has set the expectation so low.
bar is low, and guidance for next q could set bars so high that share would jump for 300 percent :)
Sentiment: Strong Buy
With the release of so many Lumia, I won't be surprised to see 7M. Now remember, as they were driving this under $2, the so called experts were calling for 15M or less for all of 2013.
Looks like some accounting games on the terminated workers, so one thing to keep in mind in net cash & not some BS loss or more restructuring write-offs.
Global Viking covered another 4M or so, but still has close to 100M shorted. Don't see eflop screwing the little ones. We have had considerable short covering but there is a ways to go. No way to know if these guys have accumulated long positions already of have calls/convertibles to cover.
Hopefully this is the low & we at least move up into the $4's waiting the half. Then I expect it to run. I've estimated break-up value $25B with nothing for devices. Pretty clear there is no BK here & we should have at least a market cap of $40B right now. We should see all 4 (navtaq,NSN, Patents & Devices) profitable 2nd Q forth.
Silly to think these crooks are going to get caught in a squeeze but I also think the next Q will be their last in control. Then the same crooks will run it up.
What uncertainty is he talking about?

The Holstentor is very impressive, also love the architecture of the buildings in this town.
Good news for travellers -- renovation of the railway station is now complete, and there are plenty of beautiful coin-operated lockers in the main station. It costs 4 Euros to lock up your case for the day.
Lubeck is a city from a fairy tail... I visited it in 2000 and going to refresh my impressions this year after Copenhagen. Thanks for tips and pics, Barry!
Excellent tips and photos. I regret not having left time to see Lubeck. Thanks for visiting my Slovakia pages.
Very atmospheric pictures! I will be visiting Lübeck next week but unfortunately for business, and I'll have no time to visit the old town. Talking about torture here!!!
Beautiful pictures of Lubeck Barry! I've been here some time ago and got curious about your page when I saw you were working on it. I'll be back when you've finished writing! :-))

The hydra myrmidon is her faithful servant.
There are a ton of great details in this picture, but my favorite has to be the hydra crowning her. The contrast between the fearsome-looking monster and the gentle behavior is superb.
Unusual and impressive!
Great artwork the hydra looks interesting with the "crowns" on it's heads. And the valkyrie looks wonderful. Very nice work

I like how one of the Hydra's heads is placing the crown atop her head.
wah omg
you improve so much in every single piece!! <33 pure talent
you improve so much in every single piece!! <33 pure talent
gheheh thank you ^_^, its hard work i think
That is so sweet! I always love it when they have the relationships that transcend species (even platonic ones), which is one reason Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite tales (but my sister loves it more), but also why I hate that he turned into an ugly human at the end of the Disney version (if they learned to love as they are, why does he have to change?). Obviously, this hydra isn't going to turn into a human or anything, so the next best thing after this image would be some tender moment (even if they perhaps had injuries from a fight) like her forehead-touching with one of the heads or something.
Very cool
this is wonderful
that's just... so cool
Beautiful! it's really great!
I have no idea what is going on but it's amazing.
Great job! I see how it's different from your usual style, I mean, it's not so sharp; a little blurred and soft, I like it
Aw, the crown!
WOW!!! (if i may ask, are they trying to merge together?) >.< XD XD XD 0.0
neat job !
That looks so cool! I love the details of the armor and the colors of the red ribbon and the yellow thingy.
QwQ Awesome! The lightning going to the back of her neck makes me think of the brain-ports in Ghost in the Shell. Really amazing vibes from this You put in so much attention to detail!
Interesting, very interesting.
very nice painting and details! Love her resting position.
Very obedient pets they are

Wrangell Visitor Center
293 Campbell Drive (Nolan Center)
Wrangell Convention and Visitor Bureau
P.O. Box 1350
Wrangell, AK 99929
Anan Bear and Wildlife Observatory
Anan Creek is an ancient Tlingit native fishing site located on the mainland at the south end of Wrangell Island. Anan Creek has the largest pink salmon run in Southeast Alaska, attracting significant numbers of black and brown bears to feast on the bounty during the months of July and August.
The U.S. Forest Service has developed an Observatory, an enclosed and partially covered deck area, that gives you an opportunity to watch the bears up close. The Anan estuary and Observatory is only accessible by boat or plane. The observation platform and photo blind overlook cascading falls where the salmon jump up river and the bears catch their meal.
There is a half mile trail leading to the observation deck. It is possible that you could see bears on the trail. Forest Service staff at the trailhead provide safety information. Guides charted in town will transport you to the site and escort you to the observation area. All visitors will need a permit from the US Forest Service. If you are using a guide, many times they may have a permit for you or will work with you to obtain your own if necessary.
Starting Friday, May 1, 2015 at 8am (Alaska Daylight Time) the public will be able to reserve permits on Recreation.gov for the summer 2015 season. There may be up to 20 permits available for each day, which can be reserved in groups of four. Permits are required from July 5th through August 25th to visit the observatory. Visitation outside of this time period does not require a permit.
Recreation.gov provides a single point of access to information about Federal recreational activities and reservations. Reservations and payment may be completed on line at http://www.recreation.gov/ or by or calling 1-877-444-6777. The TDD number is 1-877-833-6777. The international call number is 1-518-885-3639. The cost is $10 per permit, with a reservation fee of $6 per transaction.
To accommodate last-minute planning, at least 4 permits will be made available in person at the Wrangell District Office during the season. More information on these in person permits will become available at a later date.
For questions, please call the Wrangell Ranger District at 907-874-2323.

TOH version of CBA.
Sling loading a light aircraft, sling camera example.
I created this for myself. I wanted an out of the box sling loading functionality as I like to quickly throw a few things into the editor and quickly create a basic functional mission for myself.
This allows sling loading operations to be easily created, without effecting any other missions created by others with their own sling loading scripts triggers etc.
Same as any other addon. If you are unsure, please search the forums for help.
A good starting point is here.
Only tested in single player. Although I did try and code it with MP in mind, I wouldn't be surprised if something didn't work seeing as it had no testing in that area.
This hasn't had a lot of testing, created it more for myself, but happy with the result and thought it might be enjoyed by others in the community.
I find it easier to disable my track ir when using the menus to connect the line to helicopters and objects. It requires you to place the cursor over them to make the menu item visible. The track ir makes knowing where the cursor position is hard.
Manual connection of the sling line to ensure no conflicts with other missions. To connect the line crawl under the helicopter until you get the menu item.
You can disconnect either by the remote release in the pilots seat(action menu) or crawling under to manually release via the action menu.
Electric hook releases for both loads and the line. Menu items.
Hot key for the menu items can be setup for use as buttons on a joystick if desired.
Found under custom controls in the controls dialog.
- User 1 = Line release.
- User 2 = Load release.
The ability to manually connect and un-connect a load to your line if the load is close enough to the helicopter. Menu option becomes available when close enough and looking at the object.
AI Loader unit Found under Civilian -> American -> People -> Blakes Loader in the editor.
- Loader will move to the nearest load it has been synced with in the editor if it is closer than 100m. Note if the loader is a member of your group you will need to order him to move close the the load. Designed to be in his own group of one ideally.
- If a helicopter with a sling line is close enough and slow enough the loader will attempt to hook the nearest load onto the line.
- Distance for connection is between helicopter and Load object. Must be less than the line length. Tried using a token object to track the end of the line, but they would bounce around like tied up rabbits until snapping off the line.
Set AI loader values:
Max hookup speed:
Place the code in the ai loaders initialization field. Units are m/s. Default value is 3
this setvariable ["maxhookupspeed",1.4,true];
Load Time:
Place the code in the ai loaders initialization field. Units are seconds. Default value is 6
this setvariable ["loadtime",10,true];
Sling camera:
Turn on and off at the action menu.
Once on, there will be the option to change the zoom.
At this stage I haven't figured out how to define whether the overlayed version of the camera appears or not. In testing if i spawn the code in the init field, I get the overlay. Running the addon I only get the vehicle's monitor displaying? Hopefully as more people experiment with this a better understanding of how it functions will prevail.

Here's the official meaning of spoonerism: "The transposition of initial consonants in a pair of words." Zzzzzzzzz. Okay, pretty dull sounding, but in practice actually pretty funny: "My lips are zipped" becomes "my zips are lipped."
"Popcorn" becomes "cop porn." "Son, it is now kisstumary to cuss the bride." You get the idea. We owe the invention of the Spoonerism, or at least its great fame, to a nineteenth-century English reverend named Archibald Spooner, who was famous for mixing up his words. He wasn't a drunk, although drunkenness can sometimes cause spoonerisms, just absent-minded. The first two examples above, by the way, are modern Spoonerisms, too risqué for the good reverend himself. The last? A 100% genuine original Spoonerism.
Definitions of spoonerism
n transposition of initial consonants in a pair of words
- Type of:
slip of the tongue
an accidental and usually trivial mistake in speaking

This Week in the Civil War
This Week in The Civil War, for week of Sunday, Dec. 23: A Confederate Christmas raid in Kentucky.
This week 150 years ago in the Civil War, a Confederate cavalryman with a knack for raiding and disrupting Union rail and supply lines, embarked on his famed Christmas raid into Kentucky. He was Confederate Gen. John Hunt Morgan. Morgan and nearly 4,000 Confederate cavalry troops under his command left Tennessee on Dec. 22, 1862, beginning a mission to harass and disrupt Union troops and supply lines in the key border state. All told, his troopers destroyed miles of railroad tracks, cut telegraph lines, burned supply depots and briefly occupied several Kentucky towns along the way, capturing and then paroling numerous Union troops. By Dec. 28, 1862, he approached a key objective: two tall railroad trestles of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad. After an artillery barrage on two nearby Union stockades, Morgan captured hundreds of prisoners and burned the trestles. Then, after New Year's Eve, his forces retreated into Tennessee. Many in the South would boast of his daring. By May he would be lauded by the Confederate Congress for his heroic service to the secession. Still later in the war, he would be captured and imprisoned by the Union. He would later escape, making his way back behind Confederate lines, only to be shot and killed in Tennessee in 1864.
This Week in The Civil War, for week of Sunday, Dec. 30: The Emancipation Proclamation, Fighting in Mississippi.
President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation takes effect on Jan. 1, 1863. This landmark document comes as a divided nation nears its third year of grinding, grueling warfare. The proclamation doesn't end slavery outright, but it declares that those held as slaves in the states in rebellion against the Union "are, and henceforward shall be free." The immediate effect is to make the nation's Civil War far more than a fight to restore the Union, transforming the scope of the conflict as a key step toward the eventual demise of slavery. The run-up to New Year's Day 1863 brings no pause in the fighting 150 years ago in the Civil War. On Dec. 26, 1862, Union divisions approaching from the Yazoo River crash into Confederate forces in swampy terrain as they embark on an audacious bid to seize the rebel-held city of Vicksburg, Miss. The fierce battle of Chickasaw Bayou, or Walnut Hills, erupts. When Union Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman orders his forces to advance, his units are thrust backward by the Confederate defenders. Sherman was hopeful of capturing Vicksburg outright, but the battle left heavy Union casualties and dashes any Union hopes of a swift victory. The fighting, however, augurs the start of the Vicksburg campaign, which would be renewed by the Union months later in 1863.
This Week in The Civil War, for week of Sunday, Jan. 6: Fighting in Arkansas.
The days of Jan. 9-11, 1863 witness fierce fighting in Arkansas, 150 years ago during the Civil War. There, Confederate forces arrayed along the Mississippi River at Fort Hindman harass Union river trade and shipping on the vital waterway. As 1863 opens, Union troops land nearby in a coordinated offensive and head toward the Confederate defenses, forcing the rebels back from their initial positions in trench works. Union vessels launch raking artillery fire at Fort Hindman, a prelude to an infantry attack. Ultimately on Jan. 11, 1863, the Confederate command surrenders. More than 6,500 dead, wounded or missing are reported in the wake of the Union victory in Arkansas County. But the offensive does little to aid Union commanders increasingly anxious to overrun Vicksburg, Miss., and gain a greater grip on the Mississippi River corridor. The Associated Press this week reports initial accounts of the fighting in Tennessee days earlier, at the outset of the New Year. AP reports federal troops have cleared rebel forces on the roads around Murfreesboro, Tenn., after fierce fighting and what was described by one correspondent as "a terrible slaughter." The fighting at the outset of 1863 comes as the nation gets set to enter its third year of the conflict.

Currently I have Roxio Toast 11 installed on my Mac Pro (OS 10.6.8) based on Intel chipset and processor. I usually prefer Roxio Toast for burning dvd's using different format video files files. But from last few days I have noticed that there are horizontal and vertical camera panning of scenes and they are very much jerky.
Is there any way or settings to fix this in Toast before burning the files to DVD ? I tried to find out the required settings but dint got any. I am trying to burn MPEG-2 Video Format and currently all the settings are set to default. I didn't change anything. Usually I burn DVDs in PAL format and they all are in either 25 fps or 23.9 fps. What method should i use to format the Files properly and burn it appropriately? Please help.

Request Booking
Vila Margarida
Villa with 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms and swimming pool in Praia da Luz, Portugal
From £992.75 per week
Request Booking
- Villa #9273
- Sleeps: 10
- Private pool
- Car hire: optional
- Nearest beach: 15km
- Nearest bar: 400m
- Faro airport: 65km
Luxury 5 bedroom villa with private heated swimming pool and tennis court. Set in a beautiful 1 acre garden only 8 minutes walk from the beach.
Vila Margarida is one of the best villas in the lovely family resort of Praia da Luz. It has the luxury of being only an 8 minute walk from the beach and most shops and restaurants, but still retaining a very high degree of privacy owing to its lovely mature garden of approximately an acre. The villa and heated pool are located fairly centrally on the plot and have lovely views to the sea and cliffs that overlook the beautiful bay. There is also a private hard surface tennis court in the grounds exclusively for guests use.
Next to the pool is a wonderful covered bar,barbeque and dining area draped with bourgainvillea which stays wonderfully cool in the heat of the day.This area also has a fridge with small freezer, twin gas rings and a sink with hot and cold water making poolside dining and drinking very convenient.You may well never use the indoor kitchen!
Villa rental at Vila Margarida is an excellent choice for a larger group, particularly if the age range is mixed as there are so many options. Some of the group can play tennis whilst others relax by the pool or go for a stroll down to the beach and along the sea-front. The beach at Luz is lovely, but we don't spend much time there as we have real trouble tearing our family away from the luxury and comforts of Vila Margarida and its pool and garden!
Accommodation and Facilities
The villa itself has 5 bedrooms all but one twin on the ground floor. The master double bedroom is very large with a dressing area and an en-suite bathroom. This bedroom along with the two twin bedrooms have double doors opening onto the pool terrace. These two twin bedrooms share use of a family bathroom.The fourth bedroom is at the other side of the villa with a large window looking out to the orchard area. It has a double bed and a large en-suite shower room. The new 5th bedroom twin bedded and is located on the first floor and there is an upstairs shower room with shower cubicle, toilet and basin adjacent.
Also on the first floor there is a large light airy lounge with three sets of double doors opening to a wonderful large terrace with lovely views to the sea. The lounge has ample seating for 8 people and a modern TV with internet based free to air UK TV channels,DVD, CD/cassette/radio. Adjacent to the lounge is the dining room which also opens onto the terrace. It has a table and seating for 8. On the terrace there is a further large dining table seating 8. There is a covered terrace area with wicker sofas and chairs.
There is also a modern well equipped fitted kitchen (re-fitted winter 2010-11) with cooker, dishwasher, microwave,large fridge/freezer washing machine etc.
Vila Margarida also offers free wifi broadband.
The pool terrace is large and well equipped with numerous sun-loungers. The garden has a lawned area, orchard, flower beds and specemin plants.
There is regular maid service ( 2-3 times per week).
Praia da Luz and area
Praia da Luz is a lovely family orientated resort towards the quieter Western end of the Algarve coast.The beach is long and sandy and backed by a beautiful palm tree lined promenade. It has numerous restaurants, bars and shops, but only one small nightclub on the sea front.
The larger town of Lagos is only a 10 minute drive away and this has a more cosmopolitan nightlife along with a lovely marina, loads more restaurants and shops and several sandy beaches.
The historic nautical town of Sagres and Cape St Vincent, the most south westerly point in Europe is a 15 minute drive. Close to these heading up the West coast are fabulous Atlantic beaches with large breakers ideal for surfing. Several of these beaches have their own surf school. 25 minutes in the other direction is the old capital of the Algarve Silves with its moorish castle and old cork factory converted into a museum and entertainment centre.
The Algarve is famous for its fabulous golf courses and the closest, Boavista, is only a 5 min drive.There are several more within a short drive
As Vila Margarida is so close to all these amenities car hire is by no means essential although we would recommend it to allow exploration of the lovely Algarve coastline, mountains and towns.
