As Bill Gates courted Tony Blair this week and lauded the virtues of computers in schools, he sounded like a great champion of formal education. But many will have learnt a different lesson from the success of the world's best-known college drop-out. It's along the lines of: "Want to be a billionaire? Well, don't worry if you flunk your degree or don't even finish school. Academic failure may even be an asset for those seeking super riches."
Gates, who dropped out of Harvard after a year studying maths, is not alone in not finishing. The latest Forbes 400 list of "Richest Americans", just out, finds that the drop-outs are, on average, worth $1.5bn more than the Ivy Leaguers. Bunking off seems to be particularly successful for some in the IT industry. Michael Dell, for example, the 32-year-old founder of the Dell Computer Company, is worth $5.5bn but failed to finish university. Likewise, Larry Ellison, the 53-year-old chief executive of Oracle Systems, is now worth $5.2bn. Ted Waitt, at 34, has no regrets about quitting university in 1985 and founding Gateway 2000, the $4bn computer hardware supplier.
Such success has prompted some to speculate that education is of little help to entrepreneurs and may even be a hindrance, confining their ambitions to the limited horizons of officialdom and the professions. For few people seem to leave college wishing to set up on their own - only 1.6 per cent of British graduates think of self-employment when they leave.
The notion that business acumen and degrees don't go together was popularised by Margaret Thatcher, who, heralding Britain's entrepreneurs, famously pointed out that many don't even have a degree. Clive Sinclair, knighted during her premiership, was her prime example. Sir Clive is best-known for inventing the C5 battery-powered car and the Zike, a battery-assisted bicycle. "I decided against going to university", he recalls, "because they didn't teach what I wanted to learn. I was anxious to make my way in the world, rather than spend more time in an educational establishment."
Sir Clive, however, may be a poor example, since many of his inventions have flopped. So what about Richard Branson, who left school at 16 to start a student magazine? Tim Jackson, author of Virgin King (HarperCollins), Branson's biography, thinks that being less academic helps Britain's most popular businessman, letting him focus on the big picture and leave the detail to others. "It means he doesn't spend his time second-guessing his advisors. So the lawyers are allowed to do their job, while he gets on with running the business."
Alan Sugar, founder of the Amstrad electronics empire, showed formal education a clean set of heels, when, at 18, he started up selling car aerials and plastic record covers. Another success story is Shami Ahmed, who left school in Burnley at 17 and went on to start the Joe Bloggs label, which made him pounds 25m before his 28th birthday. He had been smart enough to pass the exam for the local Barden Grammar School, but spent little time studying there. From the age of 10, he was telling his father, who was already in the rag trade, what would sell and what would not, based on his knowledge of kids in the street.
Even those starting up today, at a time when you might expect schools and universities to be entrepreneur-friendly, often feel that education offers them little.
Ian Finch, 21, is in the middle of a computer studies sandwich course at John Moores University in Liverpool. Earlier this year, he helped set up WebShed which installs modems and develops web sites. He persuaded his tutors to let him drop his placement year at British Steel and spend it instead in the business. "But I've been told", he says, "that if the business fails then I'll fail my degree because we are expected to spend 48 weeks working during our placement year." Tutors, he says, have been of limited help. "They have given opinions but they don't get alongside you and say, `What about this, what about that?' I tend to view education as a way to get letters at the end of your name and prove that you can think rather than as a resource."
Grant Crawley, 27, set up his computer business while studying technical management at John Moores. Five years on, it is worth pounds 250,000. But his success cost him a good degree. "I set up in my final year, after getting first class results for the first two years. I actually filed my first set of accounts in the April before my final exams. But I came out without honours.
"It's a shame", he says, "that even though I didn't have to do all the course work, they didn't mark what I had done in the business and recognise that I had made a profit and learnt a lot."
Crawley is also critical of schools. "I did maths A-level, but a lot of it was useless for someone going into business, unless you want to go into high level engineering using cryptographic algorithms. Accounting skills should have been taught, so at least you can read a profit and loss account. I know bank managers who don't even understand a balance sheet."
A pilot study of 50 students at John Moores (to be expanded to 500) suggests that few students would think of asking their tutor for advice on setting up a business. "They don't seem to see their institutions as an important source of information," says Gayna Perry, who has established a university- based "Students as Entrepreneurs" project aimed at helping graduates set up businesses locally rather than leaving Merseyside.
Yet before students desert their school desks and university libraries for the market stall, some words of caution. The Independent 100 survey, mainly of fast-growing companies, started by individual entrepreneurs, finds the majority are headed by degree-holders.
Sue Birley, professor of entrepreneurship at London's Imperial College Management School, warns that, though the education system may still be poor at supporting the enterprising, it's variety, nonetheless, that gives them many of their product ideas.
"It is time,"she says, "that people stopped saying the best way to start in business is to leave school at 16. We need to understand that people like Branson are absolutely exceptional. It's typical British amateurism to say you don't need to know much about management or accountancy, that instinct is enough. That might have been true 30 years ago. But today's successful young entrepreneurs know that you need technical skills or you could end up in court or go bust."Reuse content

It's not a good user experience when you feel you've been chastised by a computer program. All I did was click on the fishy for heck's sake!
It's a bad idea to make users feel stupid. There are a bunch of things these guys might have been able to do to improve the interaction:
- Let me click on a fishy, then change the appearance to indicate I'm supposed to drag it into the tank.
- When I click on a fishy, just put it in the tank – I can always remove it! (While this is more usable, some would argue it is less engaging – I get a better feeling of creativity if I place the fishy myself.)
- Make the fishies look more draggable in the first place (affordance).
But at the very least they could re-word this message so I don't feel like I'm in grade 3 being punished by Mrs Brown.

GlaxoSmithKline yesterday set out the latest sell-off plans for its consumer division, with a €470m (£391m) deal to dispose of over-the-counter brands including Beconase allergy spray and sleeping pills Nytol.
Britain's biggest drug maker revealed its intentions to sell some "non-core" consumer products last February, in an attempt to focus its consumer healthcare business around fast-growing brands.
Yesterday, a portfolio of drugs – including its German vitamin business Abtei and the painkiller Solpadeine, which generated £185m of sales last year – was sold to Belgium's Omega Pharma.
"Given the continued economic challenges across the eurozone, I am pleased that we have been able to transact these assets at a good price for GSK," Simon Dingemans, the finance director, said.

|This is a discussion on How long does take to be a professional? within the online poker forums, in the General Poker section; How long will it, or has it took you to become a professional poker player? What will it take to become what you want to
How long does take to be a professional?
How long will it, or has it took you to become a professional poker player?
What will it take to become what you want to be in poker? And I don't even mean getting sponsorships and deals and all that..I mean making that money to live on poker for bread and butter?
It is difficult to answer this question because it depends on your abilities, work ethic and your situation in life as well (i.e., your monthly expenses, where you live). If playing poker professionally is something that you really, really want to do then you should just focus on doing what you need to do to make that happen. It will happen when it happens.
I think that the best option to start with, be semi-pro, ie have a certain stable source of income, and most of his free time to give the game. Then many of the points in this article will be disregarded. And then, when your highly paid hobby financially surpass your main source of income, you can safely replace the time you spend on your work on the case, which will be pleasant and useful for you without increasing the amount of time you set aside for games poker. In this case the game you will definitely not get bored ...
I have 4 years of playing poker. I believe that the level of my game is above average player.I measured at my achievements. To the level of profesional I still probably need about 4 years. It all depends on you. Read articles pro players. To become a good player it is necessary to gain experience of the game.You must play with experienced players. Choose a table where these players more. If you are just starting to play, you must first play at tables with simple chips or freerolls to remember poker hands.
hmm yeah, interesting subject to talk about and I agree with most of you guys but let me ask you this, say you did put all the hard work, effort and dedication, you do everything in the right way where you have won a few bugs there and then, even tho, you haven't won a huge money..so does this mean you are on the right track? does this mean that it will happen eventually but its just matter of time?
Personally, I would say that its best to take baby steps, study and put your hard work into practical as well as do your 9 to 5 job on the side or whatever..and see where the journey takes you! this may sound hard to do but you know what they say -when there is a will, there is a way!
Would you agree? =)
re: Poker & How long does take to be a professional?
it could take years or months, it all depends how smart you are and how much time you give to it.
and like everything else in life you must have the brain, the knowledge and the experience.
once a wise man said, the one that he is best in what he do he is the one made any possible mistake . (= experience )
I recently finished playing the Saturday Weekend Freeroll Pokerstars . 7541 players and then finished more than five hours on the 65th making $ 4.40 . Recently that game and it is my greatest time playing and the biggest gain .
I think if you couldn't climb to the at least middle levels during a year, you better to finish play. You haven't ability and only by labour you will not achieve a success. It will be found other talented and more trainee players who will beat you while you are learning 3-years-ago poker.
It will be proffessional when you are fully focused on the game and no other job is needed and you still developing your skills, but before that you need make income to make-up any possible rookie mistakes you go straight for real money etc. You may consider semi-proffesional until you are really ready to be pro when you beat the poker game easily.
first of all you should study, and study and study, find who are the best players of world, watch how they play, read strategys, articles, then you will note your game slowly increase, the biggest mistake is think that only play poker without improve the skills and dream that in one month you will buy your first ferrari, as always on our lives, what we want to do we need to discipline and patient
How much time do you have to invest? There is a study somewhere that says to excel at anything it takes about 10,000 hours. Now you can probably make a living at poker without being an elite player. You probably need to be able to make a living at poker for some amount of time to become an elite player. It's going to take a lot more than reading a couple books and playing a few tournaments.
An example, if a basketball player plays 5 matches for week only knowing the rules, he might be good, but if he trains 5 times for week specifc situations and play 2 matches he probably will be better (not a good example but I hope you can understand what I mean lol ).
re: Poker & How long does take to be a professional?
to make the money to live on poker doesnt necessarily take long at all. You can make a living on poker pretty early if you pick it up quickly. Other people take a lot longer to make a living at it. I have done it before, but currently I am not at the moment. Its all about discipline, That is it!!! if you can keep your bankroll limits under control you can easily make a living of it. Keep up on your reading and keep up on your playing and practicing and you shouldnt have a problem. A pro poker player generally places in about 1 out of 5 tournaments. if you arent doing that then maybe poker isnt for you. If you are talking about cash then you are going to want to make a certain ammount per week. generally around 500$-1000$ a week. you will have your up and down swings but if you keep at it these should be easy to maintain even playing 1-2 NL poker cash or 100$ buy in tournaments.
The biggest thing is to make sure you do the correct percentages. if you have the cashflow right now to start a bankroll chances are you can live off of it right away. Generally though to be a professional at anything in life you need 15,000 hours of doing that, or 10 years(meaning 40 hours a week for 10 years). thats how most generally identify a professional.
Now for your cash poker you are going to want to have at the very least 50 max buy ins. That is if you are playing 1-2 NL poker everyday then the max buy in is probably 200$, you are going to want to have 50 of those, which is 50x200=10,000$ in your bankrolll just for your cash. I have heard some of the younger players in vegas say that you really wanna have about 100 max buy ins for cash, which I like a little bit more so if thats the case you are looking at more like 20,000$ and that is totally dedicated just to your cash endevours. That way you wont be afraid and throw away hands when pot odds are telling you to call w certain draws, sometimes the money is just too much even if you are behind in a hand.
Now for tournaments you dont usually have to have as much money but that depends on what tournaments you want to play. Lets say you have 10,000$ for your tournament bankroll. You should never risk more than 4% of your entire bankroll on a tournament. so if you have 10,000$ you can risk 400$ on a tournament. if you lose however, your max buy in for a tournament is going to go down a little and now youll only be able to buy in for 375$ or so. and this will continue until you get yourself a decent cash. Now once you do, your roll may go up to say 15,000 and then your max buy in will be 4% of that. So if you keep yourself within the right limits and the right buy ins you can make a living of it pretty easily as long as you have a decent understanding of that game and know what to look for. Read up on some literature and give yourself at least 1000 hours of poker before putting money into a bankroll that way you can see for yourself just how the poker tables go. So that may take about 6 months. But basically its not how long you have been playing the game its how disciplined you can be with your bankroll!!! always remember that.... DISCIPLINE is what makes these Professional poker players keep playing... DISCIPLINE... not pipe dreams. as mentioned in rounders lol. they have mortgages, car payments, insurance, kids to feed! so discipline is what makes it possible for them to play this game for a living, not the fact of how many hours they have been playing. But just for a general rule before you invest any money into a bankroll, give yourself 6 months to a year of playing just to get used to the game and keep up on the literature, and you too can be a professional poker player.
Real work ethic.... Repetition. Michael Jordan would shoot free throws for 3hrs a day, every day. With a little dedication, you can do anything you want. Being a pro poker player is not out of reach.... It just requires some discipline & a lot of rehearsal. I've been playing this game daily for almost 10yrs... It's a lifestyle, not a hobby.

kawaiisakurabunbun's Space:
Hey, it's almost one in the morning, and guess who's still awake?
I'm sorry. I couldn't resist. I'm tired and my brain is full of shit. But since I'm still awake and working on my language arts project (dammit! I just love procrastinating!), there's one important notice. Or like, ten.
1. I last edited my part of the profile about four years ago. So, if you're one of salemmichiganwhatever's friends sneaking around on our profile, and you read the last version, and you're reading this now...ha, GET OUT.
2. I'm sorry. That wasn't supposed to be harsh. But seriously, get out. And, if you're going to talk shit about me online...guys, I have a Facebook too
3. And if you're not one of his friends: Hi. I won't be updating on this account (as if that mattered, you knew my writing was dog shit anyway). What was my problem is now your problem, and I'm sorry you had to endure the stupidity of it all.
4. I don't know what the purpose of coming back to edit this was.
5. I think I got pissed at one of salemmichie's friends. Hey y'all, Facebook isn't really an ideal place to have a conversation involving stuff you don't really want to bring up.
6. Salemmichigancambodia, I'm just a bit stunned you still mention this to your friends. And please, please, please do not mention this the next time we meet. That would be awkward. And I do not like awkward.
7. And if you do, me and Jessica will lock ourselves in our rooms and sleep for the whole day. I don't know how that will affect you, but I do know you will be bored out of your mind.
8. This is a more personal thingit. So, if you're not Salemcambodia or a friend of his: I apologize. Really.
9. Make sure to vote Mos Wanted on ABDC7.
10. And buy some books by John Green.
11. I'm asian. Yeah...
That's all. Adios!
salemmichigancambodia09's space:
It's me, salemmichigancambodia09, or salemmichi for short. I used to be at a never-ending brawl with xLight over who's fanfics are the most popular, who's profile is longer, and who gets to use the computer. (Now I'm at war with Kawaiisakibun even though she's too lazy to update and I'm winning.) Soon I will put other fanfics, I'm just to busy. On my profile before, I used to spend lot's of time on material to humor you, but then I found out something amazing: I could just put other people's material! (Yeah, go ahead, call me an idiot.) xLight is a Satanist, but don't tell her that because she uses the devil power if you do. I can't believe that kawasakibun is a republican, so I'll have to destroy her with my mecha blaster. I play Spore, I created the Glotaarb Niblns, you probably don't care. I also play RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. My youtube is empoleonwatersteel, but I don't have any vids 'cuz they wouldn't let me. That's it for now, just read this stuff. (Scroll down)

Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?
You know,
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.
He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; and Maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6 year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get Parental consent to administer Calpol, sun lotion or a band-aid to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion (see the sad poem below).
Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason.
He is survived by his 3 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim. Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

What do you think about Mr Keating's teaching methods? Is it a good way to teach the boys, considering their age and apparent immaturiy?
Mr Keating's teaching methods are very unusual and goes against the convntional values at that time. It encourages student to think for themselves. His methods are also risky, as it is rather experimental and untested when he applies this to the boys. However, only time can tell if it is a suitable way to teach the boys. Sadly Keating was expelled so soon.
The viewer is constantly reminded of the motto carpe diem. Is Neil's interpretation of these words correct or wrong?
The motto carpe diem may be slightly misguiding—literally it means "seize the day". The immature mind may become hash in his/her judgement. Neil's interpretation is very radical, and this displays how dangerous language can be when not used correctly.
Has Mr Keating made a mistake by encouraging boys to start secret meetings?
Yes. Mr Keating, by encouraging boys to conduct unsanctioned sessions, leaves the immature boys unattended. Their minds might wander; sinister ideas may fester in the exchange of unfiltered conversation of the boys. This can lead to dangerous actions.
As mentioned in an exchange between Mr Keting and another teacher of the school, there are "realists" and there are "artists". What is the difference between them?
A realist is more pragmatic and more attuned to the current situation of society. An artists is relatively more idealistic, independent and unfettered.
Opinion: Do you think that the students have betrayed Mr Keating? Are there any choices left?
No. We must bear in mind that the students are in school, where discipline is of utmost importance. Instead, Mr Keating should turn himself in. He could have spared the students and himself the long and painful and cease making students feel guilty of "betraying" him. Obedience is one of the most important virtues of students, and I believe the students are doing the right thing.

Tottenham's Gareth Bale and Arsenal's Samir Nasri have reportedly been nominated for both the PFA Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards.
The midfielders are joined by Blackpool's Charlie Adam, Manchester United's Nemanja Vidic, West Ham's Scott Parker and Manchester City's Carlos Tevez on the senior shortlist.
Surprise omissions from the list include Tottenham's Rafael Van der Vaart – who has scored 10 league goals since his £8m move from Real Madrid last summer – and Manchester United winger Nani.
The Portuguese international has scored nine goals this season – the same as Nasri and Adam – but has only been nominated on the junior award with Arsenal's Jack Wilshere, Manchester City's Joe Hart and Everton's Seamus Coleman completing the list.
Bale and Nasri could join former Manchester United midfielder Cristiano Ronaldo (2006/07) and Andy Gray (1976/77) as the only players to win both awards in the same year.
Vidic meanwhile will be looking to make it five in a row for Manchester United who have provided the last four winners of the Player of the Year award – Ronaldo (06/07 and 07/08), Ryan Giggs (08/09) and Wayne Rooney 12 months ago.
The winners along with the Team of the Year will be announced at a gala dinner on Sunday, April 17.

Wondrous Flight
Danielle crouched low to the ground waiting for Herman, Samuel and Mue to climb aboard her but they just stood there gaping. She stared at them and sighed.
"Come on, this will be faster traveling to the mountains than on foot! Trust me!" She exclaimed and waited for any of them to respond. Herman and Samuel just glanced at each other but Mue scurried to her and climbed her neck until he sat atop her head. He looked at the others with his beady, black eyes and asked with a chuckle,
"Are you two cowards?" Samuel turned to him and glared daggers at the squirrel. Then he and Herman put one foot on Danielle's leg and lured themselves onto her back. Samuel wobbled a bit but he wrapped his arms around Danielle's neck so he stayed on.
"How did that squirrel learn to speak anyway?" he asked bitterly. No one answered now that Danielle was standing on all fours with her wings stretched out to her sides.
"Herman, are you sure about this?" Samuel asked.
"I am sure we'll be fine," Herman replied. Danielle smiled to herself. She would make Samuel's first flight one that he would never forget.
"Here we go!" She said and lifted off into the air heading straight on farther and farther into the sky with powerful speed. Mue was hanging onto her ears as the rough wind crashed down on him. Samuel was closing his eyes and held onto her neck while Herman struggled to grab onto him.
"Danielle!"Mue screamed almost letting both of his hands slip from her ears. "Slow down!" But she didn't reply.
"Danielle!" Herman yelled. "Slow down or we will fall!" She turned to look at them. Realizing that she should she began to slow her pace. The wind settled and everyone felt themselves relaxing as the speed died down and soon they were soaring slowly through the air. The clouds below them started to fade and the trees came into view.
Samuel gazed in wonder at all the forests and hills that stretched throughout all the land.
"Wow," he said and loosened his arms around Danielle's neck. Danielle soared just above the treetops and shifted from side to side.
"Isn't it wonderful?" Danielle asked. Samuel nodded and smiled. If only his father could see him right now.
"Should we land now?" Herman asked. "I think I'm going to be sick." Danielle laughed and flew lower. After a moment, she landed heavily on the ground and crouched so they could climb off. Herman and Samuel turned to her.
"How did you like it Samuel?" She asked. He walked closer to her.
"Never do what you did to us again," he replied with a bit of anger to his voice. But then he smiled a little.
"I liked it." Danielle smiled at Samuel but he just turned and began walking away with Herman by his side.
"We'll go hunt for some lunch," he said. Danielle watched them vanish into the trees. That was the only moment they seemed to get along. For some reason, she felt good.

REFILE-UPDATE 2-Russia squares up to Boeing, Airbus with maiden jet flight
* Unannounced, Russia stages test flight of new passenger plane
* Unnamed airline buys 52 A320 single-aisle jets
* Airbus still 6 short of A380 delivery target for 2009
* Kingfisher cancels one A340-500 plane
(Adds Kingfisher cancellation, Air New Zealand buy)
PARIS, Dec 3 Airbus sold 52 A320 single-aisle jetliners worth $4 billion in an unexpected bounce in plane demand in November, but the name of the airline betting on a recovery in depressed travel demand was kept under wraps.
The deal was part of a total of 74 new sales that included 15 planes sold at the Dubai air show, held amid a dearth of regional orders days before the Gulf emirate was shaken by a financial crisis.
Airbus EAD.PA said on Thursday it had sold a total of 225 aircraft in the first 11 months of the year, falling to a net tally of 194 orders after deducting 31 plane cancellations.
A further 14 aircraft sold to Air New Zealand on the eve of the Dubai show have yet to show up in the order book.
The European planemaker is ahead of Boeing (BA.N) which had net sales of 91 aircraft up to Nov. 24.
Boeing took orders for 202 new aircraft but airlines cancelled orders for 111 between Jan. 1 and Nov. 24, leaving 91 net sales. Boeing was due to give an update later on Thursday.
Airbus has a target of up to 300 gross orders in 2009, which most analysts say is beyond its reach. But the tally so far this year leaves it closer to the goal than some had predicted.
India's Kingfisher Airlines (KING.BO) cancelled one wide-body A340-500 order in November, Airbus data showed.
Sales of civil aircraft are down sharply compared with 2008 due to the weak economy and a slump in air travel that has left most airlines' balance sheets severely stretched.
Passenger travel demand rose in October but freight demand continued to fall, airlines body IATA said this week, indicating the global economic recovery remains fragile. [ID:nGEE5AT0TQ]
As for deliveries which drive parent EADS EAD.PA revenues, Airbus handed over 437 aircraft in the first 11 months of 2009, compared with a full-year target of 490 planes.
Deliveries of the A380 superjumbo remain below schedule, with no deliveries reported during November and cumulative 2009 deliveries of seven A380 still six short of the full-year goal.
Airbus faces both continued production snags and a difficult climate for customer financing on the world's largest airliner. It has said it expects to push "one or two" of the 13 A380 deliveries scheduled for 2009 into the new year.
Emirates said earlier on Thursday it would take delivery of two A380s in December.[ID:nWEA4268]
Airbus earlier this week expressed confidence in the finances and growth plans of Dubai-based Emirates, its largest customer. The airline said its finances were on solid ground. (Reporting by Tim Hepher; Editing by James Regan)

The Grand Canyon at sunset is something magical, and the evening of Julie and Jason's ceremony was perfection. Together with their mothers and two daughters, this sweet couple exchanged their vows while overlooking some of the most magestic views in the world. This beautiful couple picked one of the most beautiful overlooks at the Grand Canyon, Shoshone Point. This was the first time at the Grand Canyon for the entire family and it couldn't have been a more perfect evening. As Flagstaff and Sedona Photographers we are so lucky to get to go to some of the most beautiful places in the world. It's evenings and families like this that makes our jobs so fulfilling! We wish you Julie and Jason a beautiful life! Congratulations!
We are Sedona wedding photographers, and because of that, we see some very spectacular beauty on a regular basis. But sometimes, Sedona surprises us with some of the some breathtaking sunsets we've ever seen. Janet and Omar choose the popular Merry Go Round Rock location for their intimate ceremony and on this particular summer day, the skies graced us with a gorgeous sunset like we've never seen before. The way the sun kissed the clouds before it dipped behind the horizon was just amazing. As the couple said their vows, the sky became more and more dramatic. It was a show like we've never seen before and we consider ourselves so lucky to have been there to witness such a sweet ceremony and the sunset all at once. Congrats Janet and Omar! We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness!

A few weeks ago we photographed Jenny & Joe's wedding at the beautiful Boojum Tree in Phoenix. Their afternoon could not have been more perfect for this special couple. The day was relaxed and filled with laughter and fun with their closest family and friends. We wish all the best for Jenny, Joe and their sweet dog Sprout!
Ellie and Frank met online on a photography forum website. Frank commented on one of Elizabeth's photos, "You live in a beautiful part of the world" and the rest is history. The two developed a friendship online, and when they finally met in person, they fell in love. Many trips across the pond, this couple's relationship deepened and they knew they couldn't live without the other. Their wedding at the Colton House in Flagstaff, AZ was heartfelt, sweet and sentimental. There wasn't a dry eye in the house as they exchanged vows and we loved how much they were all adored by their family and friends. Congrats Elizabeth and Frank!
Marilla and Mitch are both avid rockcliimbers and wanted to have their ceremony on a beautiful overlook in Sedona where they love to climb. The couple planned for a small, intimate ceremomy so they could all make the one mile hike up the cliff to the ceremony place. However, they didn't think it would snow and ice in Sedona. The day before the ceremony, the couple tried to ascend the mountain and quickly found out that the ice and snow was going to prohibit that location. So, they decided on the base of the trail instead, in a lovely meadown near Cockscomb Trailhead. We think it was the perfect place for them to join their lives together, with panaramic views of the mountains surrounding them. Congrats Marilla and Mitch! We are so excited for you both and wish you the best!
Craig and Suzeth were married at Riordian Mansion here in Flagstaff last Saturday. It was a perfect winter day here…sunny, and warm (well, for Flagstaff) Like most weddings, everything was running a little behind. While I was waiting, I got to meet many of the couples's friends and family members and got to know a little bit more about this sweet couple. It was heart warming to hear of their committment to their faith, and how it guided their relationship. During the ceremony, the couple had communion. When Craig started crying, I almost couldn't focus the camera because I was crying too. Congrats Suzeth and Craig! We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness!

The weather is in triple digits for the foreseeable future here so it just made sense to stop for some frozen yogurt on the way home from a friend's pool on Sunday.
Frozen yogurt and ice cream typically require me to use a dual wave/combo bolus to account for the fat content. However, the blonde-ness of my hair requires that I wash it as soon as possible after being in chlorine or it will end up an unfortunate shade of green by the end of the summer.
I didn't want to wait for the combo bolus to end, so what was I to do? Well, it seems all I had to do was find a different place to clip my pump. I use 42 inch tubing and I have a waterproof pump; I am not really sure why I didn't think of this earlier.
Monday was a site change day so I didn't get to try it again, but Tuesday morning I tried to the shower curtain clip again. I have enough trouble the dawn phenomenon each morning, it makes sense to try to eliminate the disconnect time I was adding to it. I need try a few more days before I know whether it's working or not, but I'm liking what I see so far.
P.S. The curtain picture is a fully clothed reenactment picture I took last night but what is the deal with the theme of my last two posts?!
P.P.S. I think Briley and Babs have tried not disconnecting as well. Anyone else?

Cayden: Reasons To Learn To DriveMature
What did he mean "I don't really want to drive around in something that makes me look like my dick is the same size as my little finger"? Was he seriously insulting the Viper? I'd never been much of a car fanatic what with not being able to drive but still, the Viper had been one of those cars that just make you think "Wow, I wish I could drive one of those beasts".
I pouted a little as Maxxie filled in the paperwork for the Saturn. I guess a Saturn could do but it still wasn't a Viper. Max's budget of $8000 meant I had to pay the other $7000 but it didn't bother me. He still seemed curious as to why I had $7000 to just spend on his car but he didn't particularly need to know. Don't get me wrong, I'm not like a drug dealer or a prostitute or something. But remember what I used to do with my evenings? Big time celebs PR people would pay me shitloads to just hang around their "client" and make them look prettier. Smart people, such as myself, put that cash away somewhere. I've got about seven or eight hundred grand stored away for emergencies and rainy days.
I leant over and kissed his nose when Maxxie asked where I wanted to go. "It's up to you, dollface, I've got nowhere to be".
"Neither have I," he smiled, "we can go anywhere you want."
I rolled my eyes jokingly. "Now you're just being difficult"
He grinned at that and I leant over and kissed him.
"What if I said I wanted to go where you want to go?"
He smiled. "I'd say somewhere with a long straight road where I can break the speed limit."
"I thought you were Mister I-Don't-Like-Flashy-Cars?"
"I am," he nodded, "but what's the point of having one, if you don't use it the way it was designed to be?"
"I could say that about something else of yours" I smirked.
He laughed. "Why don't we find somewhere quiet and you can show me what's not being used enough."
I grinned. "You won't be saying that when it comes down to it. I've finally got you figured out, dollface"
"Oh really?"
"Yeah" I said, hooking my thumbs into the waistband of his jeans and whispering in his ear, "you like being taken control of"
He smiled slightly and said "I'm surprised it took you this long to work it out," before turning and kissing me.
I kissed back, feeling something start to stir in my pants. "You're very difficult to read..."
"Now that surprises me."
"Oh yeah?"
"Mmm. I'm usually what I think they call an open book," he laughed.
I started kissing along his jaw. "I was never much of a reader"
"I've guessed," he mumbled against my skin.
"Kinda ironic that I work in a bookstore, huh?"
I bit on my lip. The problem in my pants was becoming more and more apparent. The fact that we were stood in front of Maxxie's new car, which was still parked outside the dealership, did nothing to calm me down. "I think we better go find that quiet place"
"Yessir." He winked.
We'd been driving around just over the speed limit for the past five minutes and I was still painfully hard. So far we hadn't come across anywhere quiet and out of the way and I was starting to get tired of it when something else crossed my mind. "Shouldn't you go check on your buddy?"
"Hmm? Rosa?"
"Yeah, her"
"Yeah, I guess." He said, a little reluctantly.
" After you've dealt with me"
He smiled. "That's more like it. Mean. But more like it."
"If you do anything more than go down on me I will literally die of shock" I smirked and he laughed.
"You're only adding to reasons to learn to drive, Cay. It'd be much easier to give you head if I wasn't driving," he giggled.
"As lovely as that sounds, didn't you nearly kill a kid when I was giving you head on the way back from your gramps?"
"No. I swerved and he walked in front of me."
I laughed at the memory and at his flat out denial. "Just drive, dollface, before I deal with this myself". You might think I was joking but I was deadly serious.
Maxxie seemed to know just how serious I was being and sped up. I just sat hoping we'd find somewhere soon. And hoping we didn't run into any cops. Trust me, this would be one awkward situation to explain.

Solar Lights
All Solar Lights Products
We have 1 Product
Shining bright with solar powered lights
Solar lights are now arguably more common than their electric or battery powered counterparts. The technology behind them is no longer considered revolutionary, and in fact has seen continuous advancements since the early days of solar power. Of course we'd be lying if we said that performance of solar lights is unaffected during winter months - though there are ranges designed specifically to support winter use. Generally speaking, things like solar fairy lights, path lights and novelty items like solar animal ornaments and the like are most often seen during spring and summer. More practical items like security lights and shed lights are used throughout the year.
We'd highly recommend visiting our blog for much more information and advice with regards to maximising the performance of solar powered lighting. The general premise though is that solar lights work by using a solar panel containing a photovoltaic cell that collects energy from the sun during the day, and stores it within a battery. A light sensor called a photoresistor then detects when there is no longer any daylight or energy from the sun and turns the LED on. At dawn when the light sensor detects the suns energy once again, the LED will switch off and begin to store energy for the following evening. It's all very clever, but all you need to do it switch them on, put them outside and let them do all the hard work for you.

We understand that both aspects are of equal importance for a successful future of the researcharea of conceptual structures. We are thus happy that the papers presentedatICCS2005addressedbothapplicationsandtheoreticalfoundations. "Sharing knowledge" can also be understood in a separate sense. Thanks to the German Research Foundation, DFG, we were able to invite nine inter- tionally renowned researchers from adjacent research areas. We had stimulating presentationsandlively discussions,with bidirectionalknowledgesharing.Ev- tually the ground can be laid for establishing common semantics between the respective theories.

text: Maine's great outdoors is often a safe haven and a place to relax.But what happens when the conditions turn potentially deadly? How do you survive?You're headed out the door for a hike. You've got sturdy shoes on, you've dressed in layers, and you've let someone know your plans. But is that enough to make it through a couple nights if you had to?In part one of the series Chelsey Anderson shows you what to do as she gets stranded in Maine's great outdoors."Before we even head out, we consult our gazetteer.""North is always the top of the map, so this road is running east and west. So if we get in any trouble, and only have our GPS to get us out, we're going to move North to the road."Registered Maine Guide and navigation specialist, Randy McEwen, stresses the importance of working a compass."The key is to hold it straight and turn your body." "Oh." "That way you're facing the correct direction.""The most important part of this is the direction of travel arrow. That's the direction that you need to be going. That you need to be moving."Make sure you mark your start point."We've made our way point. It's number 178. We'll lock that away in the back of our mind." "Ok." "And when it's time to come back out, we'll dig this back out, we'll find 178 in there and we'll say, 'take me back to the camp.' And you'll follow the arrow back to the woods." "Great!" "Bringing you right back to camp."Now we'll look over our survival pack.*An easy to carry bag*Noise maker for signaling*Maps of the area*Several compasses and GPS*Spare gloves and HotHands*Sharp knives*Flagging tape and a permanent marker*Survival blankets*A flashlight*Glow sticks*Fire starting material (magnesium and steel wool)*Duct tape*Folding saw*Twine *Multi-tool *Water/Water purification tool*"You Alone in the Maine Woods""And structure your pack accordingly. Everybody needs to carry with them what makes them feel comfortable."Don't use a kit in a can."We really shouldn't stake our life on it. I highly recommend that they build a kit from scratch."We head out into the woods. Lost."We're not lost. We're just turned around." "That's what my husband says." (laughter)"So at this point you've got to gather your thoughts. You've got to stay calm. The old adage: STOP. Sit, think, observe, plan. Sit down. It's imperative that you stay calm. Because that's what kills people. Panic is what kills people. And you've got to stay calm. If you can do that, you're going to survive."First, we build a shelter. "Let's make camp.""What we'll be doing is gathering small dead wood. Small saplings and we'll be putting them in this fashion to make sort of a roof on both sides. Then we will clear the leaves away and find some boughs or some branches with leaves and make ourselves a nice dry bed."Be sure to check the ground."You wouldn't want to plop your butt down on a bunch of ants while you were trying to survive, because then it would get a little uncomfortable." (laughter) "Looks pretty clean."Now we'll gather dead wood from the forest floor."We'll just fill in and we're just going to try to get the sticks reasonable close together reflect most of the heat or keep in most of the heat."We lay our survival blanket over the top to give us some protection from the elements."Now we're going to lay these in to give us a little bit of insulation and a little bit of material to lay on.""That's actually quite a bit of room!" "And it smells really good." "Smells like a Christmas tree." "It's got that natural air freshener." (laughter)Next, we have to find dry materials for a fire.I searched underneath trees, grabbed some dead pine needles and some Old Man's Beard. I also found standing dead wood that I was able to cut down and split."Alright we have to start with tender. We've got a piece of steel wool.""This works in any weather. See how that throws a nice spark."Easy for Randy to say.(strike, strike) "There you go!" (blow, blow) "Put some wind into it!" (blow, blow) (laughter) "I think it went out again."(strike, strike) "Maybe I wouldn't be a good survivor!" (laughter) "Oh!" (blow, blow) "Keep it going!"Third time's a charm.(strike, strike, strike) (blow, blow)"Yeah, it's a fire!"We'll it took Chelsey a little while, but she was able to stay warm by the fire. If you have something in your survival kit you haven't used before, go camping! Try it out!In part two of this series Chelsey will show you how to build another type of shelter, test out a water purification kit and actually drink the water from a beaver dam. And then navigate herself out of the woods.


text: REDMOND, Wash., March 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- North Carolina's Mecklenburg County has decided to go "all in" with the Microsoft platform by deploying 6,500 seats of Microsoft Office 365, 175 Microsoft Surface Pro devices and 50 terabytes of Windows Azure. Together, these modern solutions have helped the county save time and money, and the county's employees have responded positively to being able to work easily from virtually anywhere, anytime."With the mobility factor of Surface Pro and Office 365, we are able to do so much more," said Cliff DuPuy, technical services director at Mecklenburg County. "Not only do our Youth and Family Services folks love the devices for the flexibility and productivity the combination provides to them, but they appreciate the toughness of the devices, the touch aspects and the ability to document benefits while they are visiting clients. We are working toward ensuring that all our employees have their own device, and we can't keep up with the demand we're receiving from excited workers. It really has helped to increase their enthusiasm around how they do their jobs." In addition to the Department of Youth and Family Services, a number of other departments within the county have recognized the value and mobility benefits provided by the Surface devices when combined with Office 365 and custom-built apps specific to each line of business. For example, the county's Food Services Department has used these solutions to ensure Food and Restaurant Inspectors can utilize state applications, while the county's Medical Examiners are benefitting from the note-taking abilities with their tablets. Meanwhile, Mecklenburg County's Parks and Recreation employees, all of whom are moving to Surface 2 devices, are using these solutions to help them collect payments, book venues easily and tie seamlessly into the county's financial system. In addition, due to an overwhelming demand for more devices, the county will increase the number of Surface Pro devices it is using to more than 1,000 by Aug. 1, 2014. With 1.6 million emails sent per day by county employees, the cloud storage that Office 365 provides and the ability for employees to use Office on up to five devices has proved beneficial to all levels of employees within the organization. The emphasis on privacy and security in the cloud was a driving factor for the county to select the Microsoft solution. Similarly, the ability to use Surface Pro tablets with Office 365 has been a killer combination for the county: The Youth and Family Services Department is reporting $3.2 million in productivity savings per year after participating in the county's Surface Pro pilot launch. Selecting Windows Azure for its cloud storage was a natural fit for the county — its interoperation with Office 365 and Surface makes the user experience seamless. In addition, with key disaster recovery capabilities, Windows Azure makes more sense from a planning perspective, but also from a cost savings point of view. For instance, the county can ramp up quickly and take significant workloads out of its local datacenters, saving significant dollars.

The Ping of the Bat? Say It Ain't So
Published: July 28, 1989
Efforts to marry baseball to modern times have served mainly to divorce the sport from the natural setting that gives it much of its charm -wind, sun, grass and sky. But just when purists surrender grudgingly to exploding scoreboards, artificial turf and domed stadiums, along comes news that the wooden bat may soon be wholly replaced by aluminum.
Professional players in the low minor leagues are likely to be swinging aluminum bats within two years. Even worse, according to a lengthy report in Sports Illustrated, the big leagues may abandon wood by the end of the century.
So it has come to this: The thunderous crack of the bat will be replaced by a wimpy ping. The best thing that can be said for metal bats is that they don't break, which explains why they've been used by Little Leagues, high schools and colleges for several years. A player who might go through 25 or 30 wooden bats at $14 apiece can survive a season on one $70 metal bat. And manufacturers say they actually make more money on metal bats.
Still, say it ain't so. ''What is next?'' cried Representative Richard Durbin of Illinois Wednesday in a dandy piece of oratory on the House floor. ''Teflon baseballs? Radar-enhanced gloves? I ask you. I do not want to hear about saving trees. Any tree in America would gladly give its life for the glory of a day at home plate.''
Further, the metal bat will warp the game's sacred records, not to mention its sacred cliches. Metal bats, with a larger ''sweet spot,'' produce better batting averages and more power. As for cliches, try replacing ''he really got good wood on it'' with ''he really got heavy metal on it.'' Something amiss there. In the mid-70's, the awesome Pittsburgh Pirates were known as ''the lumber company.'' What would they be in the metal age? ''The aluminum factory''? The ''broken bat single'' would go the way of bunts that die in the grass, balls lost in the sunshine and bad-hop grounders. It's shattering news.

Apple quietly updates U2 iPod, lowers price
Almost lost in last week's new iPod announcements was the iPod U2 Special Edition. In the days following Apple's special event, the company has quietly updated the black-and-red model to bring it in line with the current "enhanced" fifth-generation (5G) iPod. Apple has also cut the price of the U2 iPod—from $329 to $279—to reflect the newly lowered price of the standard 30GB 5G iPods; the U2 iPod is still priced at a $30 premium over the regular 30GB model. The new version has a new model number to distinguish it from its predecessor.
While many of the new iPod features—3.5 hours of video playback, video games, support for 640x480 videos and Quick Scroll—are available to original 5G iPod owners thanks to a version 1.2 firmware update, the newly updated U2 iPod appears to be revamped and not just updated with firmware. Apple says on its website that the U2 iPod features a "new, brighter screen," and the U2 iPod has a new model number (MA664LL/A) compared to the original fifth-generation U2 iPod released earlier this year (MA452LL/A). Apple's web pages, however, make no mention of the iPod's new Search feature, an apparent oversight.
The U2 iPod features an all-black enclosure with black stainless steel back, red Click Wheel, and engraving of U2 band member signatures, and comes packaged with an iTunes Store coupon that can be redeemed for a 30-minute video of U2 music videos and band interviews. Apple originally introduced the iPod U2 Special Edition, based on the fourth-generation iPod, in October 2004. It later gained a color screen and other enhancements, and was updated to the 5G iPod platform this past June.

Posted by Matthew Ryan on September 21, 2006 at 8:47 PM (CDT)
That was a really insightful comment there. Especially with the lack of punctuation and all.
I don't know why Apple is still selling U2 Special Edition iPods. They're hideous and the last U2 album came out almost two years ago. It makes no sense in Apple's current iPod line-up. I guess someone must be buying them.
Posted by Michael on September 21, 2006 at 8:48 PM (CDT)
and if they made a painc at the disco ipod [even with all my love for ipods] i would chuck across the street. because the guys in that band are like 5 years old. and they only whine and sound horrible live.
That's my opinion. That's why I said it.
Apple stills sells U2 iPods because U2 is one of the most well-known bands in the world.
-They have sold about 50.5 million albums in the US
-They have sold more than 170 million albums in the world
-They have won 22 Grammy Awards
Let's see you do that.
Posted by U2 IS FOREVER on September 21, 2006 at 9:21 PM (CDT)
They should make a Mars Volta iPod. Now that would be genious! ALSO, U2'S time is up they're just going to become another Rolling Stones making generic boring rock and selling music just because of their established name.
Posted by U2 is done on September 21, 2006 at 10:41 PM (CDT)
Um, yeah, apparently Steve Jobs thinks U2 is still pretty relevant so that should end the U2 hating right there.
Get a clue.
Posted by Lola Sanchez on September 21, 2006 at 11:23 PM (CDT)
u2, after making (still making) great music for more than 25 yrs, is still relevant. period.
they continue to be relevant because they have not stagnated.
they're music keeps evolving.
if you don't know this then you don't know this.
if your band's lead singer gets to be Time's person of the year (2005), dooesn't that say something great about your band?
i think it does.
Posted by devnull on September 22, 2006 at 12:58 AM (CDT)
What age group is Apple targeting with the iPod?
What age group listens to U2?
the whole special edition thing is lame. I say do a different band/musician each year, drop the "special edition" crap and turn it into "limited edition." create demand where there isn't one already. It's working for A Bathing Ape.
Posted by Dustin on September 22, 2006 at 1:21 AM (CDT)
U2 is good, but this version of the Pod is a bit played (pun intended). What would be nice would be an Artist (musical artist) Signature Line of Pods. They could be a unique color/logo and maybe add a short playlist of the musician's fav tracks? On a different "note", I hear that Apple will be releasing an all white Pod to commemorate the Beatle's White album, and an all black Pod to commemorate Metallica's Black album. Has anyone else heard this rumour? Also, does anyone know if "gullible" is in the dictionary? Thanks in advance.
Posted by Robert McQueen, Corpus C, TX on September 22, 2006 at 3:06 AM (CDT)
I Love U2, own all their records and agree that they still are relevant and making good music. Having said that I still think the U2 special edition iPod (or the XX singer special edition iPod) makes no sense at all. Why? Cause as everybody knows your beautiful iPod will get scratches only by looking at it, so it will end up in one of the thousands available iPod Case; that means no signature visible, no red click wheel visible….the special U2 iPod will look escatly like my standard Black iPod.
That's my opinion, that's why I said it.
Posted by smiduri on September 22, 2006 at 3:54 AM (CDT)
I think its time for a special edition Bob Dylan Ipod. A cool black color with the Dylan logo on it…
Posted by some body on September 22, 2006 at 5:02 AM (CDT)
What age group is listening to U2?
I'd say from 5 to 95! Everyone knows and listens to U2… at least here in Ireland ;-)
Posted by Matze on September 22, 2006 at 6:52 AM (CDT)
OMG if they came out with a mars volta ipod i would die and buy 545445444514 or at least a red hot chilli peppers one they have them on the front of the package and that's a band i actually people listen from 5 to 95 unlike u2…stupid bono
Posted by OMFG on September 22, 2006 at 7:43 AM (CDT)
Whoever thinks 5 year olds or even teenagers listen to U2 is completely dillusional. U2 stopped being creative and ground breaking quite a long time ago. This iPod could have been believable back in the 80's when this band was really popular but now they've just become another run of the mill uncreative rock n roll band.
Posted by U2 is done on September 22, 2006 at 8:14 AM (CDT)
Forgetting for a brief moment as to whose U2 is bigger, is iLounge saying within their blurb about the U2 iPod and version 1.2 firmware update that ALL 5G iPods now have the ability to QuickScroll through their music libraries? That's how I am interpreting it. Am I off base here? Thanks.
Posted by Slats325 on September 22, 2006 at 9:27 AM (CDT)
I attended a U2 concert last year in London and most of the crowd was teenagers / youngsters.a stadium full of them. That probably shows how popular they really are among the younger generation
Posted by avid listener on September 22, 2006 at 10:35 AM (CDT)
I admire U2, Green Day and all those other campy mainstream bands for jumping on the bandwagon in having The White Stripes color-theme. I guess it's the hip thing to do.
Posted by Henry on September 22, 2006 at 10:44 AM (CDT)
Apple should make a deal with Apple Records, drop the U2 iPod and make a Beatles iPod.
No other band has had and maintained cultural popularity as the Beatles have.
Even with half their members dead, the songs are still popular and well selling.
It seems like a no-brainer.
Both are influential in their industry and both are very recognizable and iconic.
Posted by I. Neuton on September 22, 2006 at 10:49 AM (CDT)
...and both can't stop suing each other for the "Apple" logo/brand/etc.
How does Apple choose which bands to support? U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bob Dylan, and John Legend. Yawn, yawn, yawn, and yawn.
"My opinion, that's why I said it" is destined for greatness.
