I was thinking I found that link here originally. I just found it so helpful with seeing how all the parts work together, I have to recommend it when I can! I don't think of myself as very mechanical, but if the information is detailed enough and has enough pictures, I can tackle it.Originally Posted by Suzi
Thanks!! I did a spa treatment on her EARLY this morning before it gets to 106 later on. I knew she would clean quickly, but goodness what a lot of gunk came out of the hidden places. Someone so nicely put straight pins down in the arm end. I found them when I took off the face plate. After I cleaned up the oiling places, I found a couple more pins wedged in one of the oiling holes. Really, people what are you thinking??? Or was it unwatched kids??Originally Posted by BoJangles
She will have to air out for a day before I start putting her back together again.

Just called on the craigslist.org/atq/2556466737.html in RI. the featherweight machine. She doesn't know if it works, no cover, and has the light "bandaided" on the machine. The foot pedal and cord are with it. I offered her $35 and she refused it. Did I do O.K.? It is a 50-mile drive for us so I figuered I would subtract gas money. She says she has had quite a few calls but no-one has showed up. What do you think? Should I wait a few days and see if she is willing to dicker?
Would depend on how much you want the machine. I can't get the URL to pull up. If you want to stay firm with the $35, send her a message that if she changes her mind to please get in touch with you.Originally Posted by shelburn
Thanks Charlee, Have emailed the person with the FW and given her my offer and e-mail. Will be gone until Thursday will check mail when I get back to see if she is interested. Shelia

Gov. George Pataki visited ?ort Drum on Monday to an- nounce million in new state money to build roads, sewers, water lines and other utilities, in lopes of creating as many as 800 to' 900 new affordable housing units in the North Country. In August, Pataki's office an- nounced million in housing incentives for nearly 300 new homes. The new housing projects would go more than half of the way toward meeting a shortage of aii estimated to homes in the Fort Drum-Water- town area, said Kevin Jordan, di- rector of project development for the Development Authority of the North Country. State and regional officials hope the newly allocated money will spur private developers to build new residential tracts in the city and town of Watertown and the villages of Carthage and Evans Mills. The North Country's housing shortage was caused by waves of new troops who have re-located to Fort Drum. Since the summer of 2004, thousands of soldiers and their families have relocated to Fort Drum as the Army has reconfigured its forces. It's estimated more than soldiers and relatives will have relocated to the North Country Army post by February 2007, said Jim Corriveau, direc- tor of Fort Drum's Residential Communities Initiative. The Vke President Cheney at Fort Drum today Vice President Dick Cheney is scheduled to visit Fort Drum today during a rally for the 42nd Infantry Division and the 10th Mountain Division. Cheney will talk with soldiers home from overseas duty in Iraq. The 42nd is a New York Army National Guard unit.

In The Post-Standard's series, how she did. See story, Page B-1. Student died from heart attack Syracuse University freshman suffered from hardening of the arteries. Staff reports Babak Najafi, the Syracuse University student who was found dead in his dormitory room Sunday afternoon, died from a heart attack caused by hardening of the arteries, Onon- daga County Medical Examiner Dr. Mary Jumbelic said Monday. Jumbelic said she does not know how he developed the dis- ease, which is often caused by high cholesterol or smoking, among other things. Syracuse police Sgt. Tom Connellan said Najafi's family had no idea he suffered from heart disease. "They thought he was Connellan said. Two friends found Najafi, an 18-ycar-old freshman from Rockland County, unresponsive in his bed at p.m. in Day Hall, an eight-floor dormitory for about 600 students on Mount Olympus Drive. Najafi had been seen in bed by his roommate about 1 a.m. Sun- day, said Kevin Morrow, speak- ing for SU. Jumbelic, who performed an autopsy Monday, said neither al- cohol nor drugs contributed to his death. Connellan said one of Najafi's arteries was 90 percent clogged; another was about 50 percent clogged. About 200 students filled Hcndricks Chapel Monday to learn more about how Najafi died and how to go about griev- ing. Thomas V. Wolfe, dean of Hendricks Chapel, led the ser- vice by stressing the importance of gathering as a community, supporting each other and utiliz- ing the counseling and other re- sources on campus.

Albert Pirro issued a statement late Monday afternoon that did not deny the report, but said "any private conversations I have had were solely intended to support Jeanine's political aspi- rations." Last week, the state Senate's Republican majority leader, Jo- seph Bruno, stunned the GOP establishment by publicly calling on Pirro to give up her quest for the party's 2006 nomination to challenge Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and run instead for attor- ney general. That led to a two-hour private session between Pirro and Re- publican Gov. George Pataki on Friday after which the Westches- ter County district attorney said she remained a Senate candidate, "right now." Oct. 2005 photo New York Times JEANINE PIRRO, Westchester County district attorney, says she's still running for the U.S. Senate despite attempts by New York Republicans, including her husband, to get her to leave the race. The New York Post on Mon- day, citing unidentified sources close to Pataki and Bruno, said the effort to get Pirro out of the Senate race began after her law- yer-lobbyist husband reached out to a top Bruno aide and asked that the Senate leader encourage PATAKI, PAGE A-4 Pataki on the trai Gov.

That offers some vindication to the schools across the country that have cracked down on cup- cakes and cookies on campus. Lead author Martha Kubik, an associate professor at the Uni- versity of Minnesota, acknowl- edged her research doesn't prove that such food practices contrib- ute to adolescent obesity, but there does seem to be a connec- tion. "I think we all have to step back and look at what we're doing to contribute to practices that might not support children developing healthy dietary be- she said. Her study's results make sense to Kevin Miller, principal of Fair Haven Middle School, which banned bake sales and went junk food-free as part of a districtwide program in New Haven, Conn. Miller doesn't allow vending machines, and his cafeteria promotes healthy food. Kids are actually eating apples and oranges instead of throwing them away. And because there aren't any candy wrappers around, he said, "our hallways are impeccable." There was vindication, too, for Texas Agriculture Commis- sioner Susan Combs, who re- sponded to rising childhood obesity by leading a statewide crackdown on junk food in schools last year. The Texas ef- fort specifically targeted treats and bake sales, along with vend- ing machines. Combs said she ran up against a "very deeply entrenched cul- even among elementary school teachers, who often used candy as rewards. She said she was horrified by an e-mail from one teacher who said she couldn't imagine not using candy an incentive. Equally en- trenched, she said, was the atti- tude that food sales were the only effective fund-raisers.

Sorry for the slowdown at the site. I got interrupted by the rare vacation. Things will be back to normal once I decompress and wake up to the reality that is "work". But first, some travel thoughts:
- Asia is an incredible place. It was my first time there and I can't say enough good things about it.
- Chinese immigration and customs are a nightmare. If you think the TSA is bad you've never seen a Chinese bag checker scan every piece of electronics you have – 1 by 1 multiple times. You want thorough – these are your guys.
- The Thais could possibly be the nicest people on the planet. If you've never been to Thailand you're missing out on one of the most beautiful places on earth and some of the most friendly people on the planet. If I could begin to comprehend the language I wouldn't have ever come back.
- After a nightmare ordeal with Chinese airlines and immigration I couldn't have been happier to see a US customs and immigration agent. Then he started berating me like I was from Mars and I quickly realized how much I missed the Thai customs and immigration agents. The berating for non-residents looked 10X worse.
- It's amazing to see the undeveloped portions of some nations in Asia. Americans complain about how bad things are, but the standard of living is comparatively off the charts in so many ways. I hate to downplay our problems, but many of the developed nations have so much to be thankful for.
- As I complained about my flights I was constantly trying to keep things in perspective. I was flying around the world in metal tubes at 500 MPH and staying in hotels in amazing parts of the world. If you're reading this you've likely experienced the same things that appear all too "normal" for many of us, but are in fact extraordinary normalcies compared to what much of the world has access to. Odds are, if you spend your time worrying about the concerns expressed on this website you're in a pretty good place to begin with. I for one am extremely thankful and try to keep that in perspective. It's nice to get out of the US "bubble" every once in a while to help reinforce the point.
- The mostly cash/coin centric undeveloped countries had my monetary mind constantly asking my fellow travellers annoying monetary theory questions. As I see the developed countries moving towards electronic money economies I couldn't help but think that the paper bugs are simply the next monetary evolution from hard money bugs. And just as quickly going extinct….I guess you can call me an electronic money bug. Money is fast moving away from being a "thing" and more towards a mere record of account.
My brain is fried. I'll be fully operational by some point this week. And by "fully operational" I mean that I hope to have all 75 IQ points firing on all cylinders.

Cut-throat competition between smartphone and tablet makers will intensify in the run-up to Christmas, industry experts warned yesterday after Apple, Samsung and HTC gave cautious outlooks on their key selling season.
Samsung, the world's biggest seller of smartphones with its Galaxy range, smashed third-quarter profit expectations but its shares fell as it said competition will get tougher in the final quarter as the global economy slows and manufacturers launch new mobile devices.
"We will do our best to sustain our earnings momentum throughout the fourth quarter by implementing strategies we have developed for our businesses," said Robert Yi, head of investor relations. He added: "The business environment remained difficult with global economic uncertainties persisting amid the fiscal concerns in the US and Europe."
Samsung's post-tax profit soared 91 per cent in the third quarter to 6.56 trillion won.
On Thursday night, Apple disappointed investors with a lower-than-expected forecast for final-quarter earnings as it admitted the launches of the iPhone 5 and iPad mini would dent profit margins. The finance director Peter Oppenheimer said gross profit margins on the iPad mini are "significantly below our corporate average".
HTC, which has struggled with its Microsoft phones against Samsung's Android devices, yesterday said it expects final sales to be the lowest for any quarter since the start of 2010.
But what really spooked analysts was HTC's prediction its operating margin would shrink from 7 per cent in the third quarter to 1 per cent in the final quarter. Its third-quarter profits dropped by 79 per cent.
Research firm Strategy Analytics said Samsung sold 56.9 million smartphones in the third quarter, giving it a record 35 per cent market share.

I'll be honest, I'm actually very disappointed by this movie.
Not that I didn't recognize it for crap from a mile away, of course I did, c'mon. But when I caught the line "Enough with performance art, it's time for protest art" in the trailer, my ears perked up. I sat up a little straighter in my seat. That's a line that shows a LOT of potential… some awesomely awful potential. Combined with the preposterous concept, I had hopes that this movie might be a ridiculously enjoyable block of cheese.
Alas, it was not to be.
It's my sad duty to report that "Step Up Revolution" isn't deliciously bad, it's just plain old bad.
"Step Up Revolution" focuses on the antics of an underground troupe of dancers based in Miami known as "The Mob". "The Mob" performs elaborate group dances in public, disrupting the normal ebb and flow of society at the moment in that spot. They're a "Flash Mob".
They're currently attempting to win a contest on YouTube, where the first channel to get ten million hits will be awarded $100,000. Soon, however, it comes to their attention that a wealthy developer (Peter Gallagher) has targeted their neighborhood for high rises. They're in danger of losing their homes and businesses. Complicating the situation is the fact that one of the two leaders of "The Mob" (Ryan Guzman) has fallen for the developer's daughter (Kathryn McCormick), and she for him. She's a talented dancer in her own right, and competing to earn a spot in a prestigious dance company. When she learns about "The Mob"… she wants in. It's not long after she joins that she suggests "The Mob" fight back against her father's expansion plans. It's her idea to make the move from performance art to protest art. At her suggestion, "The Mob" turns their attention to blocking his efforts and drawing attention to the plague of corporate greed.
Which may sound pointless, until you realize that "The Mob" exists in a world where the cops only show up if the plot needs a late second act downbeat. Otherwise, the streets and museums and restaraunts and office buildings of Miami are theirs. They have unlimited time to perform without fear of interruption or reprisal. Which is a good thing, because with their bottomless budget and instantaneous rehearsal ability, they manage to put on some extremely elaborate shows! It's a good thing that the business of Miami that they target are constantly hiring low-level employees so that "The Mob" can infiltrate as waiters and security guards and busboys and djs, etc, etc. "The Mob" is basically a crunking, break dancing Cirque du Soleil that has the ability to strike with completely new routines at a moments notice.
Which is ludicrous, c'mon, I should love that! The problem is, they don't actually have any fun characters, there's not enough goofiness to the time between routines. In fact, there's not enough time between routines in any regard. "Step Up Revolution" is so concerned with its elaborate performance numbers that it squeezes out almost everything in between. It's almost like a continuous flash mob video. The time that did space the set pieces was spent mainly on the romance between Guzman and McCormick, and let's just say neither one of threaten to be the next Tatum or Dewan (who just landed a key role in American Horror Story s2). It's unfortunate, but outside of the very concept itself, we weren't given a lot of fun stupidity to work with. If I had time to think of thinks like, "After taxes that $100,000 from YouTube is more like $70,000, and then there's 10 core people in the mob, so after taxes these guys would at best be making like seven grand off of this… and that's before netting expenses," you know the movie wasn't capturing me.
I had been hoping for a movie that would earn a split grade. I had desperately wanted to see an F/A movie here. But the promise of the "Enough with performance art, it's time for protest art" line was never delivered upon aside from the sublimely delivered "I want to join the Mob" (not a hint of irony LOL).
It's just plain old bad.

Adam McQuaid joins the show to discuss the atmosphere in Toronto, being up 3-1, the play of Phil Kessel, and his mullet.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
Is huge goal on this series model -- -- -- 37 WEEI Bruins have a 31 lead. They head back to Boston game five on Friday night plucked out of -- year -- just the second multiple reporters -- on site as the Bruins dip back into town.

And you get a great job he found the NHL dot com video awards clearly -- the contact and look like now. Port not available after the game is there an issue their lingering. He's told reporters he's okay which is a huge break for the broad generalities -- -- -- that line is don't break that thing up at all. Yet though it was scary on knee on knee look at it put tires hockey player stuff adamant McQuay it. There might be. The most beautiful thing. These eyes -- upon well. That was couple years ago when we talked on his -- Not him as a person but you say that you want to ease its glorious -- hat which will get to -- -- joins us here on the eighteenth the outline at a -- -- Oreo. So good you picked out yet here and -- a sound -- Sin but I was looking for -- -- is there anyone has some of that as we saw it there a lot as a guy who took is taken part a couple of big charity events of bombing is there I'm sure I'm not the only one -- mentioned how glorious. That all that right. -- they had. People seemed elated but. It. Kind of spend borrowed welcome my guess. So you buzz that it's not coming back is that official. Not anytime soon. Follow rule though you know for down the road but right now. Probably not. -- feel like Jim Carrey and CC and has a chance on the whole month and a lot of talk out about the atmosphere in Toronto during these games have been nine years in two days between playoff games. You -- play the playoffs last year but the year before your part of that Ron can you compare it to. Other buildings was it a a really charged atmosphere of these two games and Ronald. The analysts. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- a year. I think helped us be able to to deal list. And -- yeah they're excited. Stuff that was going on real that is focused on our agreement. You know it's fun to play in in and plays like that when -- some excitement around the game. Some people of the media want to compare it to the Vancouver atmosphere a crazy that fan base was and on par with what you saw on the cup couple years ago. It has -- there was a terrible. Yeah it was there's pretty close. Now more about it in the year you guys played tough obviously shortened season games every other night during the last four. But then come playoff time -- a couple days in between how big of a break was that for you before game one then. Then before game two. Is nice it's. It is weird that. -- let's just you know during a regular. A regular season not not shortened season. That follows a regular occurrence if you know few days between games and now for -- to to get that was nice. I guess -- they rest up a little bit recharge and then -- radio. So far in this series talking -- Spezza and Adam -- -- chess match back and forth between quote in and Randy Carlyle in terms of defensively kind of matchup with Phil Kessel what kind of problems -- deceit. Present out there is a fan just watching on TV he looks like one of the fastest skaters you guys have faced this year. It has just days you got a lot of speed and you know he's. That the great offensive talent get a quick shot Citizens -- need much time to. You know to get a good opportunities so just. It'd be arrested. Try and you know limited opportunities and feel where when he donates. It much different up pairing expected defensively and you paired up with. With -- -- lot of talks you know who's gonna be out there is Hamilton gonna be there written comes out he's pretty much to -- of -- game one just worked with a guy that's been around. And in playoffs before. He asked. Minority. In the that has a -- of experience and I think you know kind of and going through what he he went -- last couple years I think speaks. Appliances and the type of person he is in. -- persevered through that then. CR is happy to him as a success cities and a pretty fortunate. -- and like that. Lou mentioned the end of the year the -- all those games at one time there were also lot of changes not only in the the offensive lines -- but defensively the pairings for a couple of games -- seem to mix and match every single game. Is that helpful at the end of the year just in case you're playing with some guys in new guys in the roster to prepare for -- anything come playoff time. Yeah I know I -- I don't think it hurt to think there's been. In -- different times. You know we play with different guys and it on the play out -- no. What can happen so. I think it's it's nice although the familiarity. Playing with different guys in not just. -- be locked in and it was one guy. You alas that was unbelievable game and we're talking about the what there's really miss it was just. Just the hate I mean they're inept play off run it was easy to hate guys who took one game all of a sudden have that kind of the team to hate you guys search for that. -- in in the playoffs early on to get to get you guys involved that little nobody hate hate that's got to help. Well it's you know it's worth playing for the Stanley cups it's. And you know they -- a across communities northern China for me from getting that so it's pretty. It's pretty easy to. Dislike. You're playing against you know there. Kind of takes something away from his so. And I -- He's the kind of no no we -- playing into the same time they're kind of trying to focus on ourselves and make sure that there were -- How different is he talked about the speed of castle in the other offensive got -- stands out is van riemsdyk and he. Not the fastest guy but he's a a big guy I would guess that you with the offensive players. That's sort of different skill sets different challenges a defenseman to keep track of those guys and in Iran. Yet did you. You know different guys bring different things the table and get to in -- Just be aware of we are playing against and China have an idea of what they're still that is and Spanish together again it -- saying he's a big body in. To protect the puck well so. I think it's. It is giants do have awareness of clear out against them knowing -- guys are on the case. These are -- worry about yourself I'm guessing going into the cup playoffs you're judging. The last couple weeks going into the season what things you guys focused I was getting the puck control the puck out of your zone. Was that a big focus for you guys -- turnovers in Euro zone. The allies never Communists. There's -- they want is to. He returned to outsource virtually their own Boehner and so. There was the on area that we need to clean up and and I think we've. You know there's there's going to be mistakes. There's no. Perfect game. You know we're trying to to limit where our turnovers and make pictures that.

Bad -- schedule just kind of you know you know guys they're just kind of trying to got to make light of the situation that legacy that you know we. We know how important it is our team and then and how good he is so. You know. -- there was little bit surprised that that he wasn't nominated -- You know -- -- that his value within our team. You know we we know how important. We'll get -- on this you know in a regular season situation you're one -- the most physical guys out there you're not afraid to drop the gloves and jump in there. And his great shot you with a six smile on your face at one point this year during one of those altercations -- it is a tough round of the playoffs knowing that if you take a fighting penalty. You can put your team and a bad spot -- -- At -- remind yourself he can't quite be as. As is easy to drop the gloves in the playoffs in the regular season. -- -- I -- it's a little little different.

Investment bank Macquarie Group flagged an improved result in 2011-12 after reporting a $956 million net profit for the year ended March 31, broadly in line with market expectations.
The result was down 9 per cent on the $1.05 billion profit it reported last year.
Shareholders will be paid a final unfranked dividend of $1 a share, equating to a full-year unfranked dividend of $1.86.
But the bank has had to breach its historical 50 to 60 per cent payout ratio to maintain the dividend in line with last year. The payout ratio was 67 per cent.
Return on equity was a disappointing 8.8 per cent, down from 10.1 per cent last year and well below the 20 per cent-plus mark sustained between 2004 and 2008.
Chief executive Nicholas Moore was paid about $8.7 million in total remuneration, including salary, superannuation and equity incentives. That compares with about $9.6 million in the previous year.
The executive team at Macquarie was paid $58.9 million.
Chief financial officer Greg Ward said the bank was hopeful market conditions would improve over the next year.
He said there was a promising pipeline of activity building in the United States and Asia.
Mr Moore said market uncertainty made forecasting difficult but "overall, we expect an improved FY12 result on FY11".
"However, the FY12 result will be dependent upon market conditions, particularly for Macquarie Securities and Macquarie Capital, which are assuming better market conditions than FY11."
Mr Ward said there was no plans to significantly change staff levels. Some analysts have called for Macquarie's worldwide headcount of more than 15,000 to be cut to rein in costs.
The Macquarie Funds and Fixed Income, Currencies and Commodities businesses were the two biggest contributors to earnings in 2010-11.
Macquarie Securities and the investment banking business, Macquarie Capital, historically two of the biggest earnings contributors, were two of the lowest earners.
Macquarie lowered its profit forecast in February because of subdued volumes in equity markets, predicting that its second-half result would be 5 per cent lower than the second-half of 2009-10.
The revised guidance implied a full-year net profit of around $945 million. Analysts were expecting Macquarie's cash profit to come in at $951 million and a final dividend of 87.6¢.
Macquarie's result comes as investment banks in the United States and Europe have recorded a soft March quarter.
UBS reported an 18 per cent fall in net profit to 1.8 billion francs ($US2 billion) on Tuesday night while fellow Swiss giant Credit Suisse posted a 45 per cent drop in first-quarter net profit. Deutsche Bank bucked the trend overnight, reporting its profit in the first quarter had hit €2.1 billion ($2.85 billion), up 17 per cent from the same period last year on investment banking performance.
The six largest US banks reported net revenue fell by an average 13.3 per cent for the three months to March 31, Bloomberg reported this week. For the likes of Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase & Co, Citigroup, Wells Fargo & Co, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, it was the biggest percentage drop in quarterly revenue in three years.

Steamboat Springs Steamboat Springs attorney and former Routt County Deputy District Attorney Tammy L. Stewart is running as a Democrat for District Attorney of the 14th Judicial District. She will formally announce her candidacy next week.
District Attorney Bonnie Roesink, a Republican, is retiring at the end of her current term after 21 years as a prosecutor in the 14th Judicial District.
Stewart will be challenged by Grand County prosecutor Elizabeth Oldham, a Republican.
Stewart was a prosecutor for 12 years and served as Deputy District Attorney in Routt County from 2005 to 2006.
"I left the office because of a difference in management perspectives - there was almost 100 percent turnover while I was a DA," Stewart said Wednesday. "We need to get qualified people that can afford to live here and are satisfied with the management and want to stay."
Since her departure, Stewart opened a private law practice in Steamboat Springs, specializing in criminal defense and family law. She is a part-time assistant county attorney in Moffat County, where she prosecutes child abuse cases.
"You do this kind of work as public service," Stewart said. "I have the experience right now that our jurisdiction needs to move forward."
"This has been her lifelong dream," said Carl Haslett, Stewart's husband and campaign treasurer.
At the Routt County Republican Party's March 8 County Assembly, Oldham listed methamphetamine, domestic violence and the lack of public confidence in the District Attorney's Office as the biggest problems facing prosecutors in Routt, Moffat and Grand counties.
Oldham also expressed her desire to create a citizen's advisory board for each of the 14th Judicial District's three counties. She could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
Stewart also addressed the District Attorney's Office's reputation in the community, saying there needs to be more careful oversight about which cases are filed.
"You can destroy people's lives by filing cases that shouldn't have been filed or if you dismiss charges later because you don't have enough evidence," Stewart said.
Stewart envisions a more hands-on district attorney, emphasizing that it is critical to visit each county in person at least once a week to stay abreast of case developments.
"The DA needs to be trying cases," Stewart said. "If there's a murder case, the DA needs to be on that prosecuting team."
Stewart will formally announce her candidacy at 12:15 p.m. Monday in front of the Routt County Courthouse. She also will host announcements Monday in Moffat and Grand counties.

Headed For Bubble Trouble?
Why has the stock market recovered so quickly from its 10% swoon over three sessions in late October? Was there some positive news that caused millions of investors to put on green eyeshades, fire up their spreadsheets, and conclude that the real value of stocks exceeded current market prices? That's what a believer in the efficiency of markets would say. An alternate theory is that instead of scrutinizing the assets of companies, investors scrutinized one another for clues about what to do. They concluded that other investors would buy on the dip--so they did it themselves. And stock prices shot back up.
If that's really what happened, it's a classic example of a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's also a recipe for a "market bubble," a speculation-induced inflation of prices above their true value, say economists who study investment behavior. While Wall Street analysts are applauding the market's rebound, these economists warn that investors may, like Humpty Dumpty, be setting themselves up for a great fall.
INCIPIENT MANIA. A bubble in the stock market can lead to overinvestment by giving companies a perception that their cost of capital is low. Likewise, the popping of a bubble can lead to cascading defaults by overextended investors and lenders and, eventually, a deep chill in the productive sector of the economy. You start to see why Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan warned last December against "irrational exuberance."
Of course, there's no way to be sure that the stock market is overvalued at these levels--or even at the level of last August, when the Dow Jones industrial average briefly topped 8200. But investors' behavior has many of the earmarks of incipient mania, say many behavioral-finance experts. "My view, for what it's worth, is that there is a lot of risk," says Harvard University economist John Y. Campbell.
So, where do investors get the confidence to keep bidding up stock prices even after last month's warning slap? Aside from the assurance bred by a decade-long bull market, investors may be buoyed by the idea that financial markets settle naturally at their proper level. Economists call this the efficient-markets theory. The idea, which reached its zenith in the 1970s and early 1980s, is that you can't beat the market, because prices adjust to news far faster than you can react. A corollary is that there's no need to fear bubbles, because stock prices never get too far out of line.
But before you put too much faith in the theory of market efficiency, consider that ever since the mid-1980s, it has been falling from favor in academia --where it began. Most financial economists now agree with the commonsense observation that stocks and other financial assets are subject to bubbles, overshoots, and panics. Efficient-markets theory assumes that investors focus on fundamental values of assets. But if what they really focus on is one another, all bets are off.
Even those academics who remain in the efficient-markets camp have begun to acknowledge its limits. "Fifteen years ago, people's knee-jerk reaction was, `Prices are right,"' says Yale University economist Kenneth R. French. "As the world moves on, everybody revises their opinions."
Still, a continuing conviction that it's impossible to beat the market has led small investors to put more money into index mutual funds, which represent broad swaths of the market. Morningstar Inc., a Chicago-based fund research firm, says assets in stock and bond index funds rose to $140.6 billion as of Sept. 30, from $2.1 billion in 1987.
While that may be a good way to invest, it probably contributes to the potential for a market bubble. Fund investors--one step removed from thinking about the priciness of individual stocks--may get careless about searching for fundamental value.
Robert J. Shiller, a behavioral finance economist at Yale, says that in a recent survey he did, half the investors admitted that they weren't good at picking stocks, but for some reason most thought they were good at picking people who were good at picking stocks. Such hubris can be dangerous, he says: "People begin to believe any price is as good as any other. The danger is that the market can never seem too high."
Bubbles can persist for so long that they start to seem unpoppable--witness the long heyday of Japan's stock and real estate markets in the 1980s. People begin to think of the high levels as normal, a phenomenon known as "anchoring" (box). But when bubbles do pop, the effect can be explosive. Investors who have lost the habit of thinking about underlying values can panic--and not come in to buy even when the market hits bargain levels.
This isn't to say that markets are completely inefficient, either. If everyone thought it was obvious that the U.S. stock market was at too high a level, the market would quickly fall. The same goes for individual stocks: Markets are efficient enough that there are no easy pickings. "Average investors who try to do a lot of trading will just make their brokers rich," says Harvard economist Michael C. Jensen, an efficient-markets believer.
BEAUTY CONTEST. For the most part, then, bubble theorists don't waste time trying to time the ups and downs of the market or to pick particular undervalued stocks. Instead, they attempt to use insights from behavioral finance to exploit oddities in the way markets behave.
One such mini-bubble is the market's infatuation with stocks that have high price-earnings multiples. Such stocks, common in booming sectors such as high tech, tend to perform worse over three to five years than companies with low p-e's. It could be that investors unwisely assume that whatever misfortunes lead to a company's low p-e ratio are bound to continue--the "overconfidence" error in the box. As long ago as the 1930s, investment wizard Benjamin Graham spelled out the obvious strategy: Buy "value" stocks with low p-e multiples and hold them until the market wakes up to them.
If markets were efficient, that "value" anomaly should have been arbitraged away long ago, as people bought the value stocks and sold the high p-e growth stocks. But the anomaly was confirmed as recently as 1993 in a paper by Josef Lakonishok of the University of Illinois, Andrei Shleifer of Harvard, and Robert Vishny of the University of Chicago. They went on to found Chicago-based LSV Asset Management, which manages $1.3 billion of pension-fund money with a value strategy.
With the toppling of efficient-markets theory from its place of dominance, academics are harking back to earlier thinkers such as John Maynard Keynes, who said in the 1930s that bubbles can form and burst because investors focus on one another instead of on the fundamentals. Wrote Keynes: "It is not a case of choosing those which, to the best of one's judgment, are really the prettiest, nor even those which average opinion genuinely thinks the prettiest. We have reached the third degree where we devote our intelligences to anticipating what average opinion expects the average opinion to be."
Keynes's description of the stock market as a beauty contest is a progenitor of Alan Greenspan's warning against irrational exuberance. The message: You can't always trust the stock market to get things right.

The Story (continued)
The Roaring Twenties (1939)
So, frustrated in his attempts to resume his life, Eddie turns to lucrative bootlegging, first delivering the contraband in his own taxicab, and then becoming a better-dressed, full-time entrepreneur as he cashes in on the illegal profits and manufactures his own illegal bathtub gin with Danny:
(in voice-over) And so the Eddie of this story joins the thousands and thousands of other Eddies throughout America. He becomes a part of a criminal army - an army that was born of a marriage between an unpopular law and an unwilling public. Liquor is the password in this army. And it's a magic password that spells the dollar sign as it spreads from city to city, from state to state. The public is beginning to look upon the bootlegger as something of an adventuresome hero, a modern crusader who deals in bottles instead of battles. And so, because of a grotesque situation, this new kind of army grows and grows, always gaining new recruits who care nothing about tomorrow just so long as money is easy today...1922. By now, the Prohibition law is firmly a part of American life, but so is the evasion of that law. College students, male and female, and even high-school boys and girls who never drank before find themselves willing and able to buy hard liquor with the greatest of ease. The hip flask becomes an integral part of the national scene - at football games, in automobiles. In the meanwhile, the supply of good alcohol fails to keep up with the ever-increasing demand for liquor. But in the undercover liquor industry, crude stills make their appearance. Wood alcohol is re-cooked, and the product of this loose and ineffective process is put on the market in a constantly-swelling flood.
Eddie has retained the services of law attorney ("legal brain") Lloyd Hart, and built up his fleet of cabs and drivers (hiring ex-cons who are 'ripened up for the job') as a front - primarily to deliver the rot-gut scotch and champagne he produces: "We're gonna get more as fast as Lloyd can pick 'em up for us." [Eddie's taxicab business parallels Larry Fay's taxi-cab sideline.] The new business is overwhelmingly profitable: "They're lapping it up faster than we can deliver it." Against his better judgment, the reform-minded, respectable Lloyd believes Eddie shouldn't be on a criminal track, but Eddie is convinced otherwise by the easy money:
Lloyd: You oughta use those cabs as cabs. You're on the wrong track.
Eddie: No, this dough says I'm not. Look kid, when the gravy's flowin', I'm gonna be right there with my kisser under the faucet.
Lloyd: This isn't my kind of law. I started out to be a corporation lawyer.
Eddie: This is a corporation. I'm making money....Don't be a sap. What do ya wanna do? Runnin' around chasin' ambulances for the next ten years? Look, take what you can get while you can get it 'cause nobody's gonna walk up to ya and drop it in your lap. Do ya hear that?...Don't think that everything's all wrong because you're not starvin' to death, ya hear?
While backstage collecting on a debt from Masters (George Meeker), the promoter of a musical comedy entitled Pretty Baby, Eddie - by chance - spots a grown-up, "cute blonde" young woman - he recognizes Jean as a chorus girl in the show. Masters suggests: "Maybe I could wrap it up for ya." After her number, he greets her: "Hi, Mineola...A few years make a big difference." The next evening after her performance, he insists on accompanying her to her midnight train to Mineola, arguing that he's a "nice guy": "I'm really a pretty nice guy. Just give me a chance to prove it." She misses the twelve o'clock train after being taken to a speakeasy. On the Three-thirty AM train, he slowly becomes a sentimental "sucker" for her singing talent. Her aspirations are to become a musical comedy star someday. At her front door in Mineola, he learns that her mother has died, and that she has been looking for her big break as a singer.
Infatuated with and sympathetic to the virginal, demure and respectable Jean, he arranges for her to audition at the Henderson Club and slavishly promotes her: "Look, I've got a little gal here with a lot of class, just something this joint needs." After her rendition of My Melancholy Baby, he lauds her: "You really did it, baby, really did it - sounds like a trio." Although Pete Henderson (Ed Keane) doesn't have any more room for singers, Eddie advances her career by subsidizing the sweet songbird's salary. Panama predicts that his budding, flash-in-the-pan, gallant love for the young songbird may be over in a week:
Henderson: She seems like a nice kid. I hope she can outtalk him.
Panama: I hope she can outrun him.
Eddie's profitable business, full-time racketeering, involves peddling scotch at 6 bucks a quart that only costs half a buck to produce, and selling champagne ("diluted New Jersey applejack") to the best places at 15 bucks a quart: "Cheating yes, cheating if you get caught. But you don't get caught if you take care of the right people, and this is big business. Very big business."
For Jean's opening night performance at the club, Eddie has the joint "jammed with professional applauders. The deal is two bucks a head and drinks." While Henderson orders the bartender to serve watered-down drinks made from ginger ale, Eddie boasts of his starlet: "Is this kid a draw or isn't she? You haven't had such a crowd in this place since you opened." After the club owner calls him a "sucker" for loving a woman who doesn't return his affection, Eddie is angered:
Don't you ever say that to me again, do ya hear? Never!
He snatches Henderson's cigar from his mouth and stuffs it back into his face. Panama sees Eddie's nervous jitters: "You act like a kid who's just gonna try on his first pair of long pants." His anxiety stems from the fact that he's planning to propose to Jean with a large diamond ring ("What a load of ice!") after the show. In love with Eddie herself (and carrying a torch for him), Panama cautions that Jean is inappropriately too young for him and that he's out of his league:
Panama: What's this kid got on you?
Eddie: Oh, I don't know. Whatever it takes to get a guy like me, she's got.
Panama: Does she know about this?
Eddie: No, I'm gonna tell her after the show.
Panama: You might be movin' too fast, Eddie. Sometimes you get over these things and you're sorry.
Eddie: I don't think I'll ever get over this one.
Panama: You're battin' out of your league, buster. You're used to traveling around with - dames like me. You sure got it bad. Suppose she turns you down.
Eddie: Turn me down? Why should she turn me down?
Panama: Suppose you tell me about that later.
Tough-talking flapper Panama introduces young Jean before she sings I'm Just Wild About Harry. During the number (as he did during Jean's audition), Eddie holds onto Panama's hand. Backstage after her number, Eddie - now obsessively smitten and in love with Jean - generously offers her an engagement ring. She loves him - out of gratitude, but is not romantically interested in him as a marital partner. She stalls on giving him a committed answer:
Jean: They seemed to like me, didn't they?
Eddie: You're stallin' me, Jean.
Jean: You've been awfully good to me.
Eddie: I improve with age. You want the Brooklyn Bridge, all you gotta do is ask for it. If I can't buy it, I'll steal it. Well?
Jean: Eddie, I don't know.
Eddie: Whaddya mean, you don't know?
Jean: I haven't had time to think about it.
Eddie: You've had plenty of time. I didn't have to tell you the way I felt about you. You must have seen it in a million ways.
Jean: I have.
Eddie: Well?
Jean: I don't know, Eddie, I just don't know.
Eddie: But don't you know the way you feel about me, whether you like me or whether you don't?
Jean: Oh, I do like you, but...I just can't tell you.
Eddie: I know what's botherin' you. Maybe Panama was right. Maybe you and me don't play in the same league. Yeah, that's it. You don't like the racket I'm in. You don't like the people I know or the things I do. It's not me, it's what I stand for, am I right?
Jean: Why I...
Eddie: Yeah, I am right. Well, I'm not gonna let this stand between you and me, not the way I feel about you. I'll get out. A few more years in this business, I'll have enough dough...so we can settle down and forget all this. How does that sound to ya?
Jean: Why, it sounds all right.
Eddie's business is threatened by the activities of rival gangster Nick Brown (Paul Kelly), who owns an Italian Spaghetti and Ravioli Restaurant as a front and is the "head of a syndicate that's running all the high-class merchandise that's being sold in this country." The kingpin refuses to deal with "penny-ante" Eddie:
Nick: I don't sell to penny-ante guys. I got distribution of my own.
Eddie: Well, don't forget. This penny-ante guy asked you in a nice way.
Nick: I'll try and remember.
On a foggy night more than twelve miles out from the shore, Eddie and his gang (impersonating a Coast Guard crew) audaciously hijack and come aboard one of Brown's rum-running boats with a shipment of booze worth $100,000 that is captained by gangster George Hally. After they come face to face with each other, they renew their acquaintance over a drink, but Eddie refrains from alcohol: "I don't like it...A dress salesman doesn't have to wear dresses, does he?" After a short discussion, the scheming George is easily persuaded to become a partner with Eddie's forces and double-cross Brown: "Between the two of us, we ought to do all right together...I got the organization to bring this stuff in and I know where to get it. You got the organization to peddle."
By the mid 1920s, gang rivalries and violence are intensified over the increasing profits available in the bootleg liquor business:
(in voice-over) 1924. By now, America is well-launched into an era of amazing madness. Bootlegging has grown from small, individual effort to big business embodying huge coalitions and combines. The chase after huge profits is followed closely by their inevitable partners: corruption, violence, and murder. A new and horrible tool appears - the tommy - a light, deadly wasp-like machine gun, and murder henceforth is parceled out in wholesale lots.
In one of the film's most exciting scenes, Eddie's gangsters rob a liquor shipment that has been confiscated by the government and stored in a guarded warehouse ("The government takes it from Nick Brown and we take it from the government. Pretty neat, huh?") They incapacitate the guards, enter the storage area, and load up the illicit cargo into trucks. When the arrival of a relief watchman aborts the robbery, Hally recognizes the guard as his "old sergeant" and brutally murders him in cold-blood, fulfilling his threat from years earlier: "I told you that we'd meet up sometime when you didn't have no stripes on your sleeve and here we are."
At the nightclub during another performance, Jean sings It Had To Be You. While holding a torch for Eddie, Panama encourages Eddie's own legal-affairs man to pursue his love affair with Jean:
Why shouldn't you see her? She's your kind of kid. You both like the same things, talk the same language, just like me and Eddie.
Later that night after the robbery, Eddie and George return to the club. George warns Eddie that Lloyd is ready to "move in" on his girlfriend, but Eddie is so preoccupied that he fails to notice Jean's attachment for the young lawyer:
George: I'll lay ya eight to five right now - that's kid's gonna move in on your gal.
Eddie: I hope you know what you're talkin' about.
George: Sure I do. Listen Eddie, I'm tryin' to steer you right. Listen, gals like her go for guys like that, you know, with all that Joe College stuff. He's gonna take her to football games, fraternity dances, all that rah-rah stuff. A kid like him can't miss. (Eddie clenches his fist.)
Panama: Calm down, Eddie. Maybe George is right. If he is, there's nothing you can do about it.
Eddie: Shudd-up. I trust my friends. (Eddie leaves the table)
George: You know, he's a sucker. I don't trust mine.
Panama: It's mutual, chump. They don't trust you either.
Jean listens to a primitive "new crystal set" (radio) in her dressing room - another gift that Eddie has lavished on her ("that's science"). He has also invested in singing lessons for her. Pitifully in love and aspiring to be a clean-cut "Joe College" kind of guy, Eddie invites Jean to a Saturday football game in New Haven (Connecticut). Both Lloyd and Eddie listen to the radio's broadcast of a "late news dispatch" that reports the hijacking of a US government warehouse in New York City where "a quarter of a million dollars worth of liquor was removed after two watchmen were shot down in the performance of their duty. One of the watchmen, Pete Jones, 42, was already dead of bullet wounds when found. Jones was a World War veteran." After learning about the robbery and the killing of their "loud-mouthed sergeant," Lloyd has misgivings about Eddie's gangland activities, and he dares Jean to confront her corrupt benefactor with the truth of her love - for him:
Jean: I've told you time and time again, I can't hurt him. He's been so good to me.
Lloyd: You're gonna get yourself in so deep you'll never be able to get out.
Jean: Well, what do you want me to do?
Lloyd: Tell him the truth. Tell him that you don't love him. That you...
Jean: That I what, Lloyd?
Lloyd: Just tell him that you don't love him, that's all.
During Jean's next song, My Melancholy Baby, Nick Brown and his strong-armed goons burst into the nightclub and accuse Eddie of informing federal agents about his running of a liquor shipment:
You tipped off the feds I was running in a load last night and they took it away from me...and you lifted it from them...The watchman you knocked off didn't die right away. He talked.
Gunfire and a brawl between the rival gangs clears the nightclub of customers and causes $5,000 worth of damage. Eddie brashly proposes to buy the entire club from Henderson: "A boy like me ought to have his own playground anyway." When Lloyd is asked to draw up a contract for the sale, the young attorney quits the gang: "I'm not drawing up any more contracts for you...Eddie, you stuck up that warehouse tonight, didn't you?...You killed the watchman...You were responsible for it...No Eddie, it won't work. This is where I draw the line. I said I'm through and I mean it." Ready to kill Lloyd with his gun drawn, Hally believes that their racket's partner knows too much about the organization and might squeal and betray them, but Eddie intervenes on his behalf:
George: This guy's got enough on us to...
Eddie: He won't talk.
George: He better not. Now listen, Harvard. You came into this racket with your eyes open. You learned alot and you know alot. If any of it gets out, you go out with your eyes open, only this time, they'll have pennies on them. All right, now scram, get out of here, go on home and chase ambulances.

Installing psi guage unto propane tank?
I purchased a 100 psi guage to connect to a 100lb propane tank so I can see at any time exactly how much propane is left in the tank. The guage I was told has to be connected between the regulator and the tank and not between the regulator and the appliance, is this correct? If so, the guage came connected to a I think 3/4" nickel or metal housing and on one end of the housing there is something which looks like a nipple with the same balck screw cover like on a tire, one guy at the hardware told me this nipple is only there if you wish to release presuure like a tire.
The other end of the housing is made to screw unto the tank as far as I am being told but at 3/4" the it needs a few reducers to connect to the tank, what the guy at the hardware told me is that I don't need this housing at all, he told me to unscrew the guage itself from the housing and simply screw the guage unto a "T" so then the left side of the T would screw into the regulator and the right side would screw directly into the tank, is this a safe and effective setup?
Is this gauge intended for use with a propane system? Doesn't sound like it. I'd get the right part, and install it as intended by the manufacturer.
Yes, this guage is made for propane and for a 100lb tank
Propane tanks see pressures of up to 300psi,.......
I think your gage is inadequate.......
Don't Do This!!!!!!!
Propane tanks are not to be fooled with. 100psi (pressure) and a 100# tank (volume) are not the same thing. There are gauges on most larger propane tanks that show the quanity of gas remaining. If you open a fitting on a presurized tank or line you will allow flamable gas to escape. A spark and can you say "BOOM ?" If you need a gauge then have your propane supplier install it or get a tank with one already on it.
ok, I will ask the supplier to take care of this, thanks.

Visitors to Melbourne might have noticed that taxi drivers are trying to blockade the city's airport for the second day.
They are protesting against a rule change that seems like a small thing to outsiders.
Melbourne airport, owned by Australia Pacific Airports, has scrapped a rule allowing cabbies to come back to the airport if they pick up a short fare.
The change will not affect their average earning power, but drivers have become more politicised by this change than by the wholesale review of the industry by Allan Fels that could improve their pay and conditions substantially.
Drivers claim the change is unfair and here's their problem.
Melbourne's airport is on the urban fringe. To an inner suburb like South Yarra is 30km, perhaps a $62 fare. To a distant suburb like Frankston is 80km, potentially a $149 fare. But there are suburbs not so far from where the planes touch down. If you jump in the front seat and tell the driver to take you to Gladstone Park, that's just an 5km fare, worth about $14.
Airport fares are so lucrative that drivers flock there; an enormous queueing area sits on the airport fringe, known as the "snake pit". Hundreds of yellow cabs wait – often for several hours – before they roll up in front of the terminal and stow someone's luggage in the boot.
The airport wants lots of taxis to be ready so travellers never have to wait too long, but the gamble drivers face is a tough one. They invest in hours of waiting, earning no revenue, in the hope of one big fare that makes the shift worthwhile. The airport complains they had to get rid of the short-fare system because drivers were cheating it; claiming they got a short fare and skipping the queue.
The rule change makes the waiting far more tense for drivers.
Risk aversion is among the most well-established tenets in the burgeoning field of behavioural economics. Economist Daniel Kahneman won a Nobel Prize in 2002 for pioneering work on the topic.
But evidently, being cheated does not hurt the drivers as much as uncertainty; one driver told the Australian Financial Review he would no longer drive to the airport without a fare, because the risk of going out there was now too great.

I recently recorded a SaaS-related on-demand webinar with Patrick Bolger of Hornbill and as with my recent blog on service catalog with ServiceNow it seemed an easy opportunity to turn some of my slides into a quick-and-dirty blog (aren't they all?).
Much has been said about the benefits of "SaaS for IT service management (ITSM)" …
For many organizations, the key benefit of SaaS is its simple, subscription-based pricing model that provides a lower and consistent level of expenditure which is Opex rather than a Capex investment – highly suited to those organizations wishing to invest limited Capex into business innovation projects rather than into IT. I deliberately haven't stated that SaaS is cheaper as "it depends" ... Many tools have a "breakeven point" in the three to four year timeframe where SaaS becomes more expensive to customers than on-premises.
This simplicity of pricing can also be viewed from a value-for-money perspective, in that a per-seat subscription will usually cover access to capabilities across multiple ITIL (or ITSM) processes rather than the traditional need for organizations to buy multiple licenses across multiple ITSM products (or modules), giving an organization the freedom to increase its ITSM maturity without extra cost (unless additional people need access to the solution).

People-related IT service management (ITSM) blogs seem to be popular. Two based on the ABC of ICT work of Paul Wilkinson and his GamingWorks colleagues are amongst my most popular and more recently one detailing future ITSM roles (stolen from the Forrester Service Management And Automation Playbook writings of Glenn O'Donnell) is also proving to be very popular (it is also a good pre-read to this blog).
Hence I'm now stealing some people-related guidance from Eveline Oehrlich's "Evolve Your Service Management And Automation Skills And Staffing" report to look at staffing for ITSM success, starting with career development.

With VMworld in full swing this week and Microsoft's cloud-centered Windows Server 2012 launching soon after, your options for technology to build and deploy enterprise clouds is about to expand significantly. Meanwhile, Amazon continues to drop prices faster than your local Wal-Mart, introduce new cloud compute and storage services almost monthly, and has already gobbled up a trillion objects in S3. Is it time to start moving your workloads to the cloud?
Forrsights surveys show that companies are indeed moving to the cloud, primarily for speed and lower costs — but are the savings really there? The answer might not be obvious. Are you heavily virtualized already? Have you moved up the virtualization value chain beyond server consolidation to using virtual machines for better disaster recovery, less downtime, automated configuration management, and the like? Do you have a virtual-first policy and actively share resources across business units? If you run a mature virtual environment today, your internal infrastructure costs might already be competitive with the cloud.
Posted by Stephen Mann on August 20, 2012
Unfortunately I don't often hear "strategy" and "IT service management (ITSM)" in the same sentence, unless of course someone is maligning the ITIL 2011 Service Strategy book or if an organization is justifying a significant investment in a new ITSM tool (to me this is too often the breeding ground for failed aspirations). Alternatively we often talk about (and are consumed by) tactical ITSM issues and our tactical responses. So where and what is your ITSM strategy? And where is your ITSM strategic plan?
If you have answers to these questions you probably don't need to read this blog so feel free to choose another. If you don't, don't you think you should? I've stolen some written-word from my colleague Jean-Pierre Garbani to get you thinking.
What's your strategy for ITSM strategy?
I'm not going to answer this – I just thought it a funny question. Better starter questions are probably: "What do I mean by strategy?" and "What is strategic planning?"
I can't help but use the ever-useful Wikipedia for the first:
Posted by Stephen Mann on August 13, 2012
At our core we are "IT people" (hopefully you are shouting at your screen, "No, I'm a business person!" but please bear with me), so it is all too easy for us to look at the future of IT service delivery purely from a technology perspective; that is, to be absorbed by the opportunities and challenges such as bring-your-own-device (BYOD), mobility, social, shiny SaaS ITSM tools, and cloud per se.
For instance, my colleague Glenn O'Donnell can often be heard saying that "the future of service management is an automated one," and, unless you have access to the report from which I lifted this quote (and much of this blog), it is too easy to forget about how the "yellow brick road" to the future affects our people. Glenn's report covers this in some detail, and I have politely stolen some of it to include below.

This post was written by guest blogger and reality TV showbiz observer Daniel Cohen. Catch up with him on Twitter here!
Yesterday we told you about the talent competition in David Walliams' new sitcom Big School. Now we can tell you that David had hoped to ask his favourite judge for a cameo.
He told What's on TV:
"There is actually an episode where the school puts on a version of a '…Got Talent' show and I did think it would be fantastic if he came on stage at the end of the scene. Although, I don't think it would fit – it would probably shatter the reality of the piece!"
We think it's a shame this didn't happen, it's always great to see this pair together. We're glad that David doesn't let go of "his" Simon completely, though. As he continues playfully teasing him on Twitter.
Telling him on Monday:
"I'm pregnant."
"And so is @sinittaofficial"
And then …
"And Louis Walsh is expecting twins."
Simon's response has gone unrecorded.
After that David, who is celebrating 20 weeks at number one with his book Gangsta Granny, had more pressing matters to talk about.
His book "The Boy in the Dress" has been released in Russia. This is a big deal, as the story of a young boy who secretly loves to dress up in girls clothes and one day decides to go to school dressed as a girl student could, in a way, be seen as "promoting homosexuality".
David said on his Twitter: "With the vile anti-gay legislation in Russia, I'm pleased 'The Boy in the Dress' is being published there."
We are too. Hopefully the book will teach a new generation of Russian children that it is good to be different, whether black, white, gay, bi, transgender or transvestite.

I haven't had a headache since I quit smoking in 1988. I didn't have one today. I had an ocular migraine. I didn't know what was happening to me. I saw a colorful spot, like colors of a prism. It grew larger and larger and became a circle and then a "C" shape and literally blocked my vision. It came on and only lasted for about 15 minutes. What the hell do you do if you're driving at the time????????
I describe the symptoms and one of my employees says that's what he sees when he's about to get a migraine headache. I called my wife and she rushed over to pick me up and take me to the hospital. After 3 hours they cut me loose.
Scared the crap out of me. Anybody else experience this?
