Apple locks TV Out in new iPods, breaks video add-ons
Did you buy an add-on display, dock, speaker system, car accessory or cable with video-out for your color 4G or 5G iPod? Were you expecting it to work with the iPod classic or new iPod nano? Think again.
Without disclosing the change to customers, Apple has locked the TV Out feature of the iPod classic and video-capable iPod nano, preventing users from outputting iPod content to their TV sets as has been done in years past. Going to the Videos > Settings menu brings up a TV Out option that is now unresponsive when clicked, showing only the word "off." When locked, video content will display on the iPod's screen, but not on your TV or portable display accessory.*
Presently, the only apparent way to turn this feature on is if you connect your iPod to a device with an Apple authentication chip built in. Authentication chips are only available in Apple products, and in a handful of products made by Apple-licensed third-party developers. The chips are not available to unlicensed developers, and add additional costs to the prices of iPod accessories. Upcoming Apple video cables that will work with the new iPods will sell for a staggering $49.
Testing results with old accessories have been mixed, but largely negative. iLounge has tested the new iPods with Apple's Universal Dock and iPod Hi-Fi, both of which unlock the TV Out option—even though the Hi-Fi has no video out feature. We have also confirmed that the new iPods do not work in popular portable video displays such as the Memorex iFlip and Sonic Impact Video-55, or most speakers with video output capabilities. One notable third-party exception is Bowers and Wilkins' recent $600 speaker system Zeppelin, which appears to contain an authentication chip and have been assisted during development by Apple, unlike its lower-priced peers.
It is unclear whether Apple will also require new accessory purchases in order to unlock video output in its upcoming iPod touch. We will have more on this story as it develops.
[Updated: Starting in subsequent versions of the iPod nano and iPod classic firmware, Apple changed the Videos > Settings > TV Out menu option in a small and relatively unimportant way: you can now select "On" or "Ask" regardless of whether any accessory is connected, but neither of these settings will work to actually output video from these iPods to an external display unless you have connected a new accessory with an authentication chip. Similarly, the iPod touch and iPhone will only output video to authentication chip-equipped accessories, bringing up a Display on TV dialog box whenever you start video playback with such an accessory attached, and refusing to bring up that option otherwise. Pre-authentication chip video accessories remain unable to perform video from the iPod nano, iPod classic, iPod touch, and iPhone.]

So I became a closeted attachment parent and did not have any mom friends in the first year of my son's life. Now he is nearly three, and although that laid the foundation we are already in a very big boy stage, not a baby stage anymore. I turned online to find support and have been so glad that it is here, but I also worry about the fact that I still lack the come on over and have coffee friendships I once imagined for myself.

Seriously, you can disconnect with the technology a bit and reconnect with real life people and it will work out for you. You can still find your tribe but now it doesn't have to revolve around the kids quite as much. In fact, it's easier (in a way) if your new tribe isn't focused on children, but on the adults.

Around Christmas I flew BRU-BEY and back on Alitalia. It started with my second ever sector on AZ, the first one having been made back in 1994 betwene MLA and FCO. As promised then, I would fly AZ on BRU-BEY again around Easter and here it comes: a repeat experience for the same airline on the same route some time apart.
Leg 1: AZ0155 BRU-MXP A320-200 I-BIKE Y (seat 15C)
This time I arranged to travel together with my wife and daughter on the leg to Beirut. However, I using a Skyteam award and them having AZ e-tickets didn't make things easy. I expected some problems and had decided to email the AZ Internet Booking Office 2 months ago to make sure they manage to seat us together. 3 weeks later I got a reply (apologizing for the late reply) and telling me to call reservations 24h in advance. So I did call reservations 24h in advance and they told me it'd be done. Having sent my Skyteam award ticket back to France for a change of my return date and still waiting for it in the mailbox on the day of departure, it took a while to get a new (electronic one this time) issued at the AF desk at BRU. Enough time, I'm positive, to mess up our early check-in plan to avoid being seated away from each other. So we checked in and ended up on both ends of the plane. I related the steps above and she managed to put us just 2 rows apart; giving me an untradeable middle-seat in the process. We boarded, I told the crew about the situation and they came up with the same conclusion: nobody will trade for a middle seat. Luckily enough, the passenger who was assigned 15C agreed to swap seats and made us all wrong. I have to admit it may not have been luck for him as he had to choose between a middle seat or sitting next to my 2 1/2 year old daughter. She's a sweatheart and a quiet child I'll tell you but I've learned from these forums that some passengers are really unhappy at having children flying along.
We boarded using the air bridge. The plane was full and we left 40 minutes late due to late arrival of the aircraft. A nice uneventful flight with again a nice Alisnack box and that nice red orange juice they have. although this time around they were not shaking the pack which has a definite impact on the resulting taste. I would say this flight was comparable to the same flight around Christmas. We had to take a bus to get to the terminal but luckily we got hold of our strawler from the aircraft (it's not always the case).
Transit at MXP
I was actually happy to see out transit time at MXP shortened as I didn't have good memories of the facility. During the little less than 2 hours to kill there, we noticed the toilet was barred but accessible and with no indication where to find another one. And they really ought to do something about basic cleanliness and hygiene at most areas of the airport.
The queue to exit Schengen having cleared up, we processed and then found out that our gate was not at -1, like the previous time, but even at -2!!! I'm really starting to think that they are discriminating against certain flights and sending those passengers to the basement as here we had 4 flights, again all of them to what could be called less prestigious destinations by some e.g. Beirut, Cairo, Tirana and Bucharest.
Leg 2: AZ0822 MXP-BEY A320-200 I-BIKI (Seat 27F)
Down in the basement, there wasn't enough room for 2 boarding queues, don't mention 3 or 4. Boarding for our flight was called and people started getting on the bus. Then boarding was suspended and a technical delay of 15 minutes was announced. People stayed in the line and on the bus. 15 minutes later, they told us the delay would be 30 more minutes and people were offloaded from the bus. It was clear then that we would spend some more time in transit at MXP. Indeed, some time later we were announced a further 1 hour delay and eventually the plane was called for boarding shortly before 1 am; with a total delay of over 3 hours. Now they told us that there was such a technical issue with the aircraft that they had to resort to using another one. But I'm still wondering why they couldn't do that before as we all know that most European airlines have plently of aircraft sitting around doing nothing at night if they're not on a cash-cow red-eye to the Near East, anyway. After the standard 2 hours grace period, those willing to travel back to the gate were offered the European Commission imposed food and drink vouchers and where in for a queue and fight at the unfriendly staffed cafeteria.
We left MXP shortly before 2 am, which would mean a landing in BEY at 6 am! Onboard, they served us an untrustable tray of cold food. I don't know if it's just me but for the return leg I'll pack my own food for the flight. We landed in Beirut at dawn, taxied to a gate, were told by the ground staff that it is airport policy not to give the strawlers at the aircraft's door (!) and took more than half an hour to proceed thru security. By 7 am we were leaving the airport parking and thankfully enjoying the Lebanese blue sky and early sunshine.
Return leg will take place on April 19th so stay tuned!

A Summerville woman is accused of driving under the influence, and causing a wreck that left one person hospitalized Wednesday morning.
Kourtnie Burge, 22, of Three Wood Lane in Summerville was arrested and charged with felony DUI after the white Nissan she was driving ran off of Interstate 26, entered a curve near the overpass at Bennet Yard, hit a retaining wall and flipped before coming to a stop on Louise Drive in North Charleston about 3 a.m., Charleston County Sheriffs Maj. Jim Brady said.
A South Carolina Highway Patrol trooper spotted the vehicle driving at least 100 mph while on Interstate 26. Brady said the trooper attempted to catch up to the vehicle, but lost sight twice before the wreck occurred.
When authorities arrived at the crash site one person was outside of the vehicle, which was on fire, and another was entrapped, Brady said.
Paramedics transported the male passenger to Medical University Hospital with potentially life threatening injuries, Brady said.
The Charleston County Sheriffs Office is investigating the wreck, Brady said.

It's Official… Man Has Hunted The Dildo Into Extinction [FBHW]
It's a great thing when reporters screw up during a national news broadcast. It provides us with laughs and you get to call a complete stranger a dumb ass. Well, a wild dumb ass appeared again by way of CNN this time. The reporter was doing a story on climate change threatening various species with extinction. The reporter wanted to mention the extinction of the Dodo bird, but couldn't quite spit out the word 'dodo' correctly.

Online calculators might be scaring people from signing up for the Affordable Care Act before they even start.
Calculators are supposed to give people a snapshot of premium costs and options under the nation's new health-care mandate, which requires most Americans to get insurance by 2014 or face fines.
But sticker shock may be preventing some of those who use the calculators from proceeding to enroll in insurance.
Health-care educators and advocates say some calculators, including the one on the official government website, Healthcare.gov, are spitting out inflated estimates based on predetermined assumptions that don't account for individual circumstances.
Their advice: Don't stop. Continue through the registration process and shop for insurance based on specific individual details rather than the general information provided by calculators.
"All of the calculators are built based on estimated premiums," said Allen Gjersvig, director of health-care innovations for the Arizona Alliance for Community Health Centers. "Prices are significantly lower than what some industry experts were estimating. ... Generally, prices in Arizona are lower than the rest of the country."
Additionally, the calculators themselves generate estimates that can differ by hundreds of dollars, so someone trying to determine what it might cost will get different answers depending on the website being used.
There are four tiers of insurance from bronze to platinum, and all calculators are required to give answers based on the second-lowest price on the silver plan. That means somebody looking for cheaper insurance will almost certainly get an estimate for more than the actual cost.
Calculators often have age-based assumptions, Gjersvig said. For instance, some calculators are pegged to two pre-determined ages: 49 and 27. That means a 60-year-old man shopping for insurance would get an estimate for a 49-year-old man. Others would get information based on a 27-year-old man. Insurance costs differ based on age.
The government site links to a calculator operated by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation. The calculator does not ask for a specific age, only the number of people in a family younger and older than 21.
Another key problem for calculators is subsidies, according to experts. The government offers sliding-scale subsidies to offset insurance costs for those making up to 400 percent of the poverty level. Anyone below 133 percent of the poverty level qualifies for Medicaid.
"The only way to find out your subsidy is to go through Healthcare.Gov ... and get a determination notice," Gjersvig said. "Until you go through that step, everything is an estimate."
Steve Taylor, head pastor of the Lakeshore Bible Church in Tempe, said he stopped the registration process after seeing initial estimates that would cost him hundreds of dollars more than his current premium.
Like many people, Taylor received notice that his current premiums are going up and wanted to see what is available under the Affordable Care Act. He said his first time with the calculator returned high premiums with less coverage than his current plan.
"I was not really sure about those projections," Taylor said. "The projection seemed a fair bit higher than the listings by specific companies ... There didn't seem to be a lot of options."
Taylor, 57, describes his current plan as a basic United Healthcare plan through Golden Rule Insurance. He said he and his wife earn about $40,000 through the church in taxable income and receive a $30,000 parsonage allowance. They pay $514 a month for the health plan, which has a $5,000 deductible but pays 100 percent of office visits and hospitalization after the deductible is met.
Taylor said that as he plugged information into the calculators, prices seemed to go down. But he said he never saw anything that encouraged him that he might save money under the Affordable Care Act. He said he stopped short of registering on the website over concern about the costs.
Educators and advocates say the best online calculators will allow you to plug in a variety of data, including age, income and smoking status before giving estimates. Some calculators, such as one at ValuePenguin.com, a consumer-finance website that analyzes insurance data, will present plan options.
Using ValuePenguin with Taylor's information returned 40 plans offered by seven providers under the silver tier. They ranged in cost from $265 to $843 a month with deductibles from zero to $5,000 and various co-pays and out-of-pocket expense requirements.
Arizona has many insurance options and is a competitive market for insurance, so premiums are lower here, according to experts.
Available plans vary from county to county. There are 119 insurance plans in Maricopa County and 107 in Pinal County offered by several companies.
"There are a lot of pieces in a puzzle," said Cheryl O'Donnell, Arizona director of Enroll America, a non-profit group focused on Affordable Care Act education and registration. "The primary question I get is, 'How much is this going to cost me?' ... I don't think there are black-and-white answers."
O'Donnell's agency is one of dozens of so-called health-care navigators operating across the country. She said people often stop at the calculators without realizing that individual circumstances must be taken into consideration before a reliable cost can be determined.
One of the biggest groups of people seeking help from navigators in Arizona are those seeking to apply for insurance under the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System. O'Donnell said up to 80 percent of the people going to navigators sought coverage through the state's version of Medicaid, which is expanding under the Affordable Care Act.
Laurie James, 59, of Scottsdale said she didn't realize she qualified for Medicaid. And when she received a notice recently that her insurance premiums were going to up by more than $150 a month, she believed she could be left without insurance.
James, a Call 12 for Action volunteer, has hepatitis C and needs insurance to cover doctor's visits and medication. She said based on calculations on Healthcare.org, she believed she would fall through the cracks, unable to afford insurance and unable to qualify for Medicaid.
Her current coverage, which costs about $350 a month, has a $2,000 deductible, a $25 co-pay for doctor's visits and covers 100 percent of hospitalization.
James said she believed she couldn't qualify for Medicaid because her liquid assets exceed $3,000 a year. She later learned the asset clause will change in 2014. "I don't know anything definitive,' she said. "I will be without insurance Dec. 31 if I don't get Medicaid."
Robert Anglen and Veronica Sanchez lead the Call 12 for Action team, focused on issues important to Arizona consumers.

Advantages include capability for full obscuration, low friction, and general adaptability of design.
A rugged iris mechanism has been designed to satisfy several special requirements, including a wide aperture in the "open" position, full obscuration in the "closed" position, ability to function in a cryogenic or other harsh environment, and minimization of friction through minimization of the number of components. An important element of the lowfriction aspect of the design is maximization of the flatness of, and provision of small gaps between, adjacent iris blades. The tolerances of the design can be very loose, accommodating thermal expansions and contractions associated with large temperature excursions. The design is generic in that it is adaptable to a wide range of aperture sizes and can be implemented in a variety of materials to suit the thermal, optical, and mechanical requirements of various applications.
The mechanism is enclosed in a housing (not shown in the figure) that comprises an upper and a lower housing shell. The housing provides part of the sliding support for the outer ring and keeps the two rings aligned as described above. The aforementioned pivot assemblies at the inner ring also serve as spacers for the housing. The lower housing shell contains part of the lower sliding surface and features for mounting the overall mechanism and housing assembly. The upper housing shell contains part of the upper sliding surface.

Plant a Tree
Trees provide sound buffers, reduce utility bills, improve property values, prevent soil erosion, provide wildlife habitats and freshens the air! If those are not enough reasons then plant a tree for future generations. While trees grow and mature they bring years of beauty and delight to those near. With any luck your grandkids, grandkids will be enjoying the tree you plant today.
Conserve Energy
- Skip the treadmill and elliptical- instead take a jog through a park or do yoga.
- Leave the TV off- play a board game, play charades or read a book .
- Turn off the lights-open a bottle of wine and have dinner by candlelight. Even better have a fresh salad with grilled veggies instead of turning on the stove or oven.
- Skip the car- Walk, bike, or take the bus to work.
Reduce- Reuse- Recycle
- Reduce waste by using reusable grocery bags, water bottles and food containers.
- Reuse an item destined for the landfill by breathing new life into it. Make a planter out of an old colander, transform an old gate into a headboard or trellis, or refinish an old piece of furniture.
- Recycle your waste. Try to go one day trash free by only using items that can't be recycled or composted. When shopping look for items in recyclable packaging or made from recycled materials.
Buy Locally
Join a CSA, visit a farmers market or even better grow your own! Buying locally and growing your own is environmentally friendly since you cut out the pollution created by transporting your goods to market. www.localharvest.org is a great resource to find farms, CSA's and farmers markets in your area.
Host an Earth Party
Invite family and friends to a celebration at the park, local beach, or even your back yard. Have a picnic featuring local or home grown produce. Use recyclable or reusable dishes and flatware. Activities could include litter pick up and nature hunt. (Give kids a list of items to hunt down in the garden, park or on the beach)

A TA Travel Center was on lockdown Friday as deputies looked for a possible kidnapper and victim, according to the Torrance County sheriff.
Sheriff Heath White said his office received 40 calls from a 7-year-old girl who was whispering on the phone Thursday. The girl said she was inside a light blue semi, which is where she was found.
White said she was not kidnapped. He said she recently saw a Halle Berry movie where she plays a 911 dispatcher, and attempted to reenact the victim's role.
The cellphone kept cutting out, but she kept calling back, White said. Pings for the phone pointed to the travel center. The lockdown was lifted Friday evening.
CYFD was called in to help with the investigation, and the driver was questioned.
White said the girl has a learning disability, and the truck's driver was her great uncle.

In the movies at least, it seems as if violent killers are getting younger every day. Following in the footsteps of Chloe Moretz's Hit Girl in 'Kick-Ass,' Saoirse Ronan plays the title character in 'Hanna,' Joe Wright's new film about a teenage girl who's been trained since birth to take out targets -- and she's every bit as good as her predecessor. Cinematical sat down with Ronan, the Oscar-nominated young star of films like 'Atonement' and 'City of Ember,' and talked about the challenges of bringing to life a character who's an unusual combination of lethal force and fascinating naiveté.
Cinematical: You've said in some interviews that the fairy-tale aspect of Hanna allowed you to be a little weird. What does that mean?
Saoirse Ronan: Because fairy tales are surreal and kind of magical and they're never just gritty reality. Of course I wanted to deliver a true performance, but I also liked the idea of making her a little out of the ordinary and not very normal. She wasn't like that and she was never going to be like that, so I felt it was important not to have that in the performance either.
How do you distinguish an honest or truthful performance as opposed to one that is "realistic," especially in something like 'Hanna,' which has this dreamlike feel?
Well, it doesn't necessarily have to be realistic, does it? I think when all of the filmmakers involved in a project are on the same page, you can make something really great, you can push each other and encourage each other, and if you don't feel very secure in what you're doing, Joe [Wright] would go "Go for it, do it!"
But it's not always about being realistic; it's just about what's true to the story, and I guess that's what you have to think about. You have to think about the story as your world. You're not living on planet Earth right now, this is your world. And when you understand it thoroughly and you have a sort of instinct, you'll get there, I guess.
How would you characterize your collaboration with Joe now that you two have done a couple of movies together?
A lot of it is really rooted in friendship, I think; we really trust each other, which a lot of his actors do with him, and he does with them. And that's a great relationship to have, especially when we did 'Hanna' together, because it was only the second film we did, but we had trust in one another, and going in this different direction, and taking a risk was easier for us and made it more freeing because we knew each other.
How important was it to have that balance between her physical dexterity and her complete lack of understanding of basic modern conveniences?
We played with it a little bit more. I think some of those instances were in the script, like in the little hotel room that she books, but we would kind of introduce that into every scene, really, especially when she's in Morocco –- which is so foreign for her. It's completely the opposite in every way to what she's used to, and it was just a behavior that was part of her as a character, so I always played that. It was always there.
How difficult was it to get to a place with the training where that aspect was completely instinctual?
It was a lot of training, and understanding her background, which it doesn't go into that much, but she has been bred to be a sort of super-soldier or killer or whatever you want to call her. And I guess I thought of her as sort of invincible in a way, and every stunt that I did, just when I was about to give up personally, I just had to think, Hanna would not give up. Hanna never gives up; she adapts or she dies. I think she helped me push forward and therefore that made the character more believable on screen. Her attitude towards things and her perseverance and her strength, how she gets this strength from somewhere.
How important was it to have a very well-defined background for her, since the film itself reveals very little?
I don't really need to do that much. There were a few important things obviously that I needed to know, which are in the script -- that her mother was killed and that sort of motivates my, I wouldn't say hatred, but my wanting to kill. And it was important to know that she wasn't really a natural, real person, and that certainly influenced my performance and the behavior of the character. So things like that, I needed to know, but those things were given to all of us in the script. I didn't feel like I needed to delve any further and get any more information about the character or anything like that.
At this point, how formal is your preparation for roles? Do you do a lot of work to develop your roles?
Not really. I will eventually, but so far it's been a lot to do with intuition and instinct. The characters that I've played, maybe not straightaway but eventually, I've gotten to understand very well. I've had really great directors and writers who have helped me get there and guided me. So I think once you have that, for me, that's enough. And I haven't played a role yet where I'm actually playing a real person; there are a few roles that are historical, real people that if I did get involved in something like that, I would learn about them because it's a real person. But when you're kind of involved in the creation of this character, I think it's good to trust your instinct and trust your gut a bit.

Disk Cleanup might help, but I'm not positive, I think it only checks certain areas. Double click My Computer, right click C: and click Properties, then click the Disk Cleanup button at bottom.
If you deleted the program instead of using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel or using the program's uninstall option, you're likely to have problems getting to the rest of the files that are remaining, since that could include registry entries, and files that are in Program Files, the Windows folder, and System folder, as well as other folders, shared files, dll's etc. Some of these might be no problem, but some have names that aren't recognizable as part of the original program, which is why the Add/Remove Programs option in Control Panel or the program's uninstall wizard is always recommended.
Maybe one of the clean up programs would help, such as Clean Sweep, or something of that nature. Check Tucows, or some of the other shareware sites and see what's available, SimTel and WinFiles might have some good ones available.
Soon as I come up with all the answers...they change the questions!!

WASHINGTON, D.C. ( October 2, 1980 ) -- Owners of more than 18,000 cordless battery-powered lawn mowers are being warned that a possible defect in the mower's battery may pose a fire hazard while the mower sits unused in a garage or storage area. The warning is being issued jointly by the manufacturer, Black & Decker (U.S.) Inc. of Towson, Maryland, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The company has received eight separate complaints from consumers reporting that the battery on their lawn mower caught on fire while in storage. Black & Decker currently is conducting tests on their model 8055 cordless battery-powered mowers to determine the exact cause of the fires.
There have been no reports of injuries or deaths related to the fires. In addition, neither CPSC nor the company has received reports of battery fires occurring while the lawn mowers were being used by consumers.
The Black & Decker lawn mowers are orange and white in color and have two blades which produce a 19-inch cut. They were manufactured in 1976 and sold nationwide in hardware stores and other retail outlets between January, 1976 and August, 1980. The model number 8055 is embossed with the words "19-inch Cordless Twin Motor" on the top of the plastic housing next to the battery.
While the company is conducting tests and developing a program to repair the lawn mowers, consumers are being urged to remove the fuses from the battery before placing the mower in storage. Consumers also are being advised to store the mower at a safe distance from flammable materials.
To obtain instructions on how to remove the battery fuses, other safety precautions, and to arrange for future corrections by Black & Decker Service Centers, consumers should call Black & Decker's toll-free number at 800-638-3830. Maryland residents should Call Black & Decker collect at 301-820-2406.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of
thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the
nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or
mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household
chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the

Premier League football is back! Even the Euros and Olympics weren't enough to stop me pining for a competitive Newcastle game.
Last season was one of the most enjoyable in recent years. We started off strongly and spent the majority of the season in the top 6 - who would have thought that we would be in with a chance of a Champions League spot right up until the final day of the season? We ended up with a 5th placed finish and a return to European football. Marvellous.
So what about this coming season?
Our success in 11/12 was triggered by a strong, unbeaten run at the start. We have a more difficult start this time around - the opener with Spurs at home is no more difficult than our matchup against Arsenal was last year, but the potential 3,500 mile round trip to Athens for our Europa League with Atromitos less than 48 hours before a game at Stamford Bridge vs the European Champions is a big ask. As I write this Newcastle are waiting to hear whether the club have been successful in their attempt to have the Europa League fixtures reversed meaning that the first leg tie would be at home in between the Spurs and Chelsea games. Whatever the order this is a tough schedule.
Then again none of us are complaining, we will enjoy the ride!
October brings us our next big double header. Manchester United come to St James' Park on October 7th then we head to the dark side for our game with Sunderland on the 21st (there is an International week in between)
November is when we head to Anfield. We have a diabolical record at that place, but these records are meant to be broken. We also play our first games against two of the promoted sides with West Ham heading to Tyneside and then the long trip down to St Mary's for Southampton. The West Ham game has the added spice of Sam Allardyce - one of the most unpopular managers to ply his trade at Newcastle United. Ex-Captain Kevin Nolan should receive a warm welcome. He will be applauded at the start, booed when he touches the ball and then applauded at full time as is the Gallowgate way.
As was the case last year we face another tough December. Six games, three of which are against last seasons top 3 sides all within the space of 14 days, two away from home! (Manchester City, H, 15th; Manchester United, A, 26th; Arsenal, A, 29th)
The African Cup of Nations gets underway in January running from 19/1 through until 10/2 in South Africa. This has obvious implications for our African superstars Ba, Cisse and Tiote. Fortunately for Newcastle supporters their nations, Senegal and Ivory Coast, come head to head in playoffs before the tournament that will see one of the countries eliminated, freeing up either Tiote or the Cisse/ Ba strike force.
The FA cup kicks off in January, as ever. Oh how I enjoyed those back to back trips to Wembley in the late 90's! Even though we lost them they were great trips and I'd love to get there again and improve on my own personal NUFC-at-Wembley record of P4 W0 D0 L4.
February brings us only three Premier League games, though there is also more FA Cup as well as the League Cup Final. Well you never know.....
The Derby game at St James' doesn't come around until April 13th. They might have already been relegated by then!
Our final three fixtures of the season are West Ham away, Reading away and the fixture that we started the 11/12 season off with, Arsenal at home.
The season offers us up to 62 matches. Obviously we won't reach the finals of all three cups, but the number of games will be up from last season. The main concern there is that we struggled to field players in their right positions on more than one occasion - Norwich away was terrible for it with four full-backs making up the defence. Whilst we have added more promising youngsters this off-season, we still look short of depth in quality senior pro's. Especially at centre half. I am certain we will see the emergence of at least one of the hot prospects, but I'd still be happier if another player or two came in.
Exciting times ahead! Let's sit back and enjoy the ride.

What To Do When You're On Furlough
|Email Print
In this recession, companies are turning to furloughs, or unpaid leave, as a way to cut costs without cutting people. As you can imagine, being furloughed is never a good thing. Companies in good financial shape generally don't furlough their staff, it's usually companies that need to cut costs or are having difficulty with cash flow. It's not uncommon for a company to furlough staff one week and then decide they need to have layoffs the next. While that's not always the case, you plan for the worst and hope for the best.
So, what should you do when you're on furlough?
Take The Day Off
If you haven't had a day off in a while, take advantage of the furlough by taking it easy. Complete some jobs you've been meaning to do around the house, go out hiking or just walk around the local mall. Take it easy, let your mind relax and unwind a little, and don't stress yourself about the fact that you're on furlough.
It's important for you to be relaxed because you will need to keep your wits about you if you are laid off. People make mistakes when they are under stress or emotionally compromised. If you're furloughed for a week, take the first day off to decompress and remember that you have the rest of the week to be "productive." By resetting yourself, you are able to give your all the rest of the time.
Polish & Update Your Resume
I recommend that you update your resume every three months because it's important to keep that document as fresh as possible. If you don't want to update it that often, consider keeping an accomplishment journal so you have a good record of your career successes.
With some unpaid free time on your hand, it's important to remain productive. While it's good to take the first day off, you probably don't want to relax for the entire furlough period. By polishing and updating your resume, you are preparing yourself for what may be coming down the pike.
Rather than just worrying about your job, you're taking control of the situation and doing something about it – that's empowering.
Search For A New Job
This is something you must do with great care. Since we're preparing for the day we may get fired, it's important to start the shopping process now. Do everything you would do if you had been actually fired, rather than furloughed. If you were going to put your resume up on online job sites like Monster.com, then submit it.
Furloughs may be a good time for you to reflect on your career choices. Maybe you don't like what you're doing and want to go back to school? Maybe you do enjoy what you do and want to recommit yourself to doing it better. Or maybe you simply don't have that luxury because your financial situation is so tight and you can't afford to sit around, that's important to recognize also.
In the end, you're forced to take the time off so it's best to be as productive as possible with it. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
Do you have any other suggestions for workers being furloughed?

All the worry-warts and weak hands will succumb to the bad headlines and do just what the "smart money / big guys" want you to do - sell you shares and force the price down. One thing you need to remember, for every seller, there is a buyer....and it is these big guys who are padding their portfolios at a discount.
These same naysayers will later come out and announce how "impressed they are with Cokes ability to do this, and do that, despite headwinds here and there". yada-yada-yada....
Story repeats itself again and again....Coke isn't going to collapse folks!!! It will continue to make inroads into emerging markets, they are growing their market share and presence at impressive rates in places like India/Asia and Africa.
I picked up a 1,000 shares for now @37.15.....I think our support is at 37 and believe strongly we will be back at 39-40 by this spring. Just need the smart money to close out their bash-and-stash campaign and the dust to settle....then the story will emerge like the first signs of a new spring....
Sentiment: Buy
It is strange to think that anybody has any doubt that KO is a success story.
I just sit back and let the divs reinvest, and let you market drones drool at the mouth about stock price....
With KO getting 18% of its total company sales from Russia, lets see what happens when the @#$% hits the fan. Shorting KO here. $30.
Wrong. Try 1.6% from Russia. But hey, you're only off by 1,025%.
From WSJ, March 3, 2014:
"Atlanta-based Coca-Cola Co., the world's largest beverage company by revenue, is less exposed to Russia than PepsiCo. The maker of Coke, Minute Maid juice and Sprite doesn't disclose its Russia revenue but derived only about 1.6% of its volumes from the country in 2012."
$1,100 and still growing! I told you so!!!!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
THEY JUST RAISED THE DIVIDEND. It would be Nice if it continued to trend down before the X date.

NOT LONG AGO HE WAS THE CHARISMATIC, Armani-clad owner of David Ramus Fine Art, a respected dealer with galleries in Atlanta and New York City who lectured at museums and advertised in upscale magazines. His services were available, as printed on his business card, "by private appointment," and only in his tasteful Atlanta condo or his splendid Manhattan apartment—the one with the Greek antiquities. In the heady art market of the '80s, he often handled deals worth millions. He was also addicted to heroin. "I was whacked out of my mind when I made one of my biggest transactions ever," says Ramus, "and no one knew."
Ironically, it wasn't until after he kicked his addiction at the Betty Ford Center in 1989 that Ramus, 40, began his financial free fall. Last month the high-flying art dealer was found guilty in an Atlanta federal court of defrauding clients of $556,000. The government said he had taken paintings on consignment and then, after selling them, pocketed the profits.
For his part, Ramus claims he was victimized by a downturn in the art market and his own poor business decisions. "People ask me if it was the drugs that ruined me," says Ramus, "and it honestly wasn't. The bottom simply dropped out of the market, and I wasn't equipped to know what to do."
What Ramus did do in October 1993 was bang out his first novel, a thriller about an art dealer with a heroin habit who sells forgeries. Thief of Light was snapped up for a stunning $1 million, $625,000 in foreign rights and published to strong reviews this fall. "I wrote," says Ramus, "because I didn't know what else to do. I was stripped of everything, including my reputation. Now I know that I can feed my family and start repaying my debts." (Sixty-five percent of the book's earnings will go toward reimbursing his creditors.)
Ramus, who grew up in Palm Beach, Fla., the oldest of three, recalls his family as "totally dysfunctional." His father, Richard, who helped run his father-in-law's gallery that liquidated local estates, was "gone all the time." Says his mother, Connie: "It was not a good marriage. It was full of turmoil." They divorced twice, once when David was 13; again when he was 19.
According to his sister Susan, 39, who runs a Palm Beach skin-care products company, "everybody adored" young David. "He was always funny and charming, and he wasn't afraid to live." By the time he was 12, though, David was sampling pills. "Obviously," he says, "there was some hole in me, and when I had drugs or alcohol I felt I measured up to everyone else."
Ramus discovered that he had "zero talent" when he studied art at the University of Florida in 1973. But, he says, "I could see who around me did have talent." The next year he dropped out to load trucks at the family gallery. In 1979 his father, who had taken over the business, moved it to Atlanta and, at 24, David became vice president. A year later he walked out after a brief and bitter power struggle with his father. In 1981, Richard declared bankruptcy, having failed to reimburse some 200 clients for more than $500,000 in art and collectibles. ("Maybe like father, like son,' " says Ramus, "but I'm paying people back.")
David, meanwhile, had set out on his own. "By 1990," he says, "I was doing $1 million a month in business." He had built David Ramus Fine Art on his eye for 19th-and 20th-century paintings and his ability to make deals; but he had no management savvy. Frequently, he would bring in a backer to finance half the cost of a painting and take out a note for the other half, eventually running his debt into the millions.
In 1993, Ramus called his creditors and told them, he says, that "I could not pay them then, but I would find a way." Childhood friend Reed Galin, now a CBS-TV correspondent in L.A., lost $125,000; he was stunned and hurt but finally sympathetic. "I don't for a second think David did anything criminal," says Galin. "He didn't rip people off—and he didn't run away to Bermuda either."
Maybe not, but Ramus—who lives with his wife of three years, Cathy, 35, and her two daughters Jessica, 13, and Nikki, 8, (his daughter Julianna, 8, lives nearby with her mother) in a rented house in Atlanta—could get four years in prison at his Jan. 18 sentencing. Says Ramus: "We're trying hard not to let this be a tragedy in our lives." And, according to his creditors' attorney, Morris Macey, even those he owes are writing letters on his behalf. "They want me working and making money so I can pay them back," he says. "That's what I want too. I'm writing my second book and I want to get back to it."
