Ch2. Prologue continued
"Good evening Sen, how did you know I was at the door?"
"I was just relaxing in the bathtub before you came, and I heard some shuffling outside. Why?"
"No matter, its just that you opened the door as I was about to knock. Kind of took me by surprise. Anyways, I wont bother you further, since I just wanted to remind you that the rent was due by the end of this week."
Sporting a toothy grin and a balding head, Craig was a simple man. He collected rent on the first week of every month, and if you hadn't paid up by the second week, you were no longer a tenant. There were no exceptions.
If I were you, I'd punch his lights out and tell him to mind his own business. Rent that's soaring above market value obviously doesn't get paid on time, if ever. Sugar, you still haven't shown me a good time yet.
"Of course. Thanks for the reminder, Craig."
I'd love to see the scarlet fountain of youth spew from his nose. Greedy snob, I'd watch my back if I were you."
I didn't ask for your input.
I was joking.
After closing the door, Sen leaned heavily against the wall in a slump and sighed heavily.
We need to get that money back by any means necessary. If we don't, I 'll be on the streets next week, not to mention I wont have a hope of paying off my tuition.
Sen, I want you to listen to me very carefully. True revenge doesn't come easily, and you must be willing to be patient. It will be better that we not attempt to take the money back from them. We should consider other means.
You've got to be joking.
The fact that I'm in your head means that I have access to exactly the same kind of information you do. I'm talking about the Platform. You and me. On second thought, its really just you. I don't know what processes you employ to create it.
Didn't you just say you had access to exactly the same kinds of things I know?
Yes and no. I know about all the events that you have experienced. Therefore, I can deduce what you are capable of. On the other hand, I am clueless about the raw facts and concepts that you use to create an item.
Do explain yourself.
If you had knit a sweater in the past week, I would know you actually did make the sweater. However, I would not know how you weave the knots that comprise of that lovely sweater, except that you used your metal twigs to make it. You and I both know you can create the Platform.
Even if I could get past the bank's security algorithms, I'm not stooping to that level. If you have access to my memories, you should know about the time I got busted for the fake driver's licences.
Flawlessly photoshopped and mounted, I dare say. You're just upset that you'll be stealing from actual people. Don't forget the government will take the hit for the lost money, not the people. Its your choice – dough you don't take will be lost in another scandal anyways.
Don't compare me with those corrupt pigs.
Of course. You'll be beating the pigs to the cornmeal. As I always say, desperate times call for desperate --
What about revenge?
You know where their hangout is. Its time for me to see some action.
I don't follow.
Since you don't need to get your money back from them anymore, give them some TnT.
If you're thinking of going down that road, TnTs aren't going to cut it. You need something of a much larger magnitude. We have one chance, and if we blow it, my corpse will be found in the secluded wilderness. I won't even have time to cut my arteries in the washroom this time.
What are you waiting for? Buy that nitrous oxide.
What did you say your name was again?
Well, Timaeus, you're wrong about the rent. It's set at market value, but the low supply in the city causes the prices to shoot through the roof. Why don't you know this simple concept? Right, I forgot you only have access to part of my brain. Thank goodness.

Wycombe collected their fourth consecutive home victory for the first time in ten years with an excellently-deserved 1-0 win over Rotherham United.The home side bossed the opening 45 minutes andcould have been out of sight by the break, having taken the lead through Gareth Ainsworth's header from Danny Foster's cross.Rotherham improved after the break and the Blues had Nikki Bull to thank for a world-class save from Ryan Taylor's downward header.But the Wanderers created chances of their own and could have deepened the visitors' misery, which was compounded by Jason Taylor's late red card for a kick at Ben Strevens.Gary Waddock named the same side that won 2-1 at Lincoln City the previous week, which meant Kevin Betsy kept his place despite being rated as doubtful for the clash after sustaining an injury at Sincil Bank.And after the two teams enjoyed an entertaining battle in the reverse fixture in October, Wycombe started this match at a similar tempo, seeing Stuart Beavon's shot on the turn fly just wide before his excellent volley was kept out by Andy Warrington following a superb through-ball from Andy Sandell.The keeper was again called into action moments later from a smartly taken free-kick which saw Matt Bloomfield lay it back to Gareth Ainsworth, who flicked it up and volleyed it goalwards from distance.Wycombe's bright start was reflected in the excellent atmosphere generated in the Valley Terrace, which was particularly heatened when Marcus Marshall hacked down Andy Sandell, forcing the Wycombe left-back to leave the field with an injury with Danny Foster taking his place.Another cynical foul - this time from Mark Randall on Stuart Beavon - showed that a physical approach was the visitors' only response to the Blues' excellent passing display. But justice was served on 28 minutes when Gareth Ainsworth opened the scoring with a trademark header, beating inexperienced left-back Jamie Green to guide home a superb cross from Danny Foster.United seemed unable to cope with Wycombe's dominance in all areas and the gap in quality between the sides was more than the two points which separated the teams before kick-off, and Stuart Beavon was a constant nuisance up front, shooting straight at Warrington at the near post on 38 minutes.As first-half displays go, it was certainly one of Wanderers' best of the campaign so far, with Nikki Bull remaining untroubled throughout while full-backs Danny Foster and Marvin McCoy had licence to roam high into the Millers' half to join the attack. But the undoubted star of the half was Stuart Beavon, whose movement, skill and goalscoring threat had posed relentless problems for the visitors.Ronnie Moore's side showed signs of improvement after the break and caused most of the early pressure, resulting in a couple of nervy clearances from the Wycombe backline as the threat of Ryan Taylor and Adam Le Fondre became more prominent.And a foul by Chris Westwood on the latter gave Nicky Law the chance to level matters with a free-kick just outside the area, but his effort curled inches over the crossbar to maintain the Blues' advantage.However, there had seemed to be a swing in momentum as Rotherham pressed forward, with Wycombe struggling to recapture their earlier comfort in possession. The visitors' first-half frailties hadn't completely disappeared though, and there was a half-chance for the Blues when Matt Bloomfield's header looped up too close to Andy Warrington.After 68 minutes of being a virtual spectator, Nikki Bull was then called upon to produce the save of the match - if not the season - from Ryan Taylor's downward header. The ball bounced up at speed towards the top corner and Bull's outstretched left arm appeared from nowhere to tip it onto the crossbar and away to safety, earning a huge gesture of appreciation from Gary Waddock on the touchline.The game was becoming more and more stretched, and a counter-attack from the home side gave Kevin Betsy the chance to double the lead, but his left-footed drive bounced back off the post with the keeper beaten.Mark Randall then saw his long-range effort flash over the bar before Ben Strevens somehow scooped the ball from underneath the crossbar following Nicky Law's dangerous inswinging free-kick. Ryan Taylor diverted Law's next free-kick over the crossbar and the Blues looked to be set for a nervy finale.There was almost relief in the form of another Betsy blast which was pushed behind by Warrington, before the keeper tipped Beavon's stunning volley over the top with the ball seemingly destined for the net.Matt McClure then worked his way into an excellent position in stoppage time but, under pressure from the defender, he could only send his effort wide of Warrington's near post.There was late drama with a straight red card for Jason Taylor after the midfielder needlessly kicked out at Ben Strevens, but the game will instead be remembered for its entertaining football from the Blues and more importantly, three points which could prove significant by the end of the season.Timeline:6mins: CHANCE - A snapshot on the turn from Stuart Beavon flies just wide.13mins: SAVE - Andy Warrington denies Beavon with a save from the striker's volley 12 yards out.15mins: SAVE - Gareth Ainsworth's smartly-worked free-kick goes straight to the keeper.16mins: YELLOW - Kevin Betsy goes into the book.22mins: YELLOW - Marcus Marshall's poor challenge on Andy Sandell earns a booking.24mins: SUB - The foul leads to Andy Sandell being replaced by Danny Foster.26mins: YELLOW - Mark Randall hacks down Stuart Beavon, joining Marshall in the book.28mins: GOAL - Gareth Ainsworth opens the scoring with a fine header from Danny Foster's teasing cross.38mins: SAVE - Warrington keeps out Beavon's near post effort.44mins: YELLOW - Jason Taylor talks his way into the book.46mins: SAVE - Matt Bloomfield's shot deflects into Warrington's arms.50mins: YELLOW - Dave Winfield's foul earns his tenth booking of the campaign.51mins: CHANCE - Marcus Marshall's effort from 20 yards goes high and wide.58mins: CHANCE - Nicky Law's free-kick curls just over the bar.62mins: CHANCE - Ryan Taylor sends his header way over the top.68mins: SAVE - Nikki Bull superbly keeps out Taylor's header.71mins: CHANCE - Kevin Betsy hits the post.74mins: CHANCE - Mark Randall's effort goes just over the bar.79mins: CHANCE - Ryan Taylor's header flies inches over the top.82mins: SUBS - Adam Le Fondre and Gareth Ainsworth leave the pitch, with Tom Pope and Matt McClure coming on.83mins: SAVE - Andy Warrington denies Kevin Betsy at the near post.84mins: SAVE - The keeper excellently tips Beavon's volley over the top.92mins: CHANCE - Matt McClure shoots just wide of the near post.94mins: RED - Jason Taylor sees red for a stamp on Kevin Betsy.

China's "trial of the century" in the sweltering, eastern coastal city of Jinan has been hailed by authorities as "open" proceedings, but the atmosphere is hardly welcoming.
Before my arrival in Jinan, the hotel I had been booked into cancelled my reservation; management said it had been told not to let non-Chinese journalists stay.
Foreign reporters are not allowed to enter the courtroom, and instead must rely on carefully stage-managed briefings on the court's official microblog on Sina Weibo, the Chinese version of the banned social networking website Twitter.
So it was by this means that we learned that Bo Xilai was taken into court at 8.47 am local time, that there were no empty seats in the court, and that five Bo family members and 19 Chinese journalists were among the 110 observers.
Outside the courtroom, most people in Jinan did not seem aware of the trial, though some of Bo's supporters came to wave photographs of modern China's founding father, Mao Zedong, the icon often invoked by Bo during his populist rule in Chongqing in southwestern China. Others sang songs and chanted his name before being removed by police.
There were also many petitioners there, using the high-profile occasion to try to get someone, anyone, to hear their complaints.
One middle-aged man said his wife and son had been taken away that day after they complained about a delay in payment for a government construction contract. He seemed desperate and left as plain-clothes police gathered around us.

A. St Helen's is no more than 200 metres from the high-tide mark in Swansea Bay. Almost half of Glamorgan's home fixtures are staged there, though in recent years the traditional Bank Holiday match against the tourists has moved to The Gnoll, Neath. If the present Glamorgan CCC committee has its way, no further county matches will be played in Swansea, all future activity being concentrated in Cardiff.
Swing bowlers, such as Malcolm Nash (he was still primarily a spinner when Sobers hit him for 36 in an over), Lawrence Williams and Stephen Barwick, have done well at St Helen's.
However, many batting records have also been set there, both for and against Glamorgan. My greatest memory is of Clive Lloyd equalling the fastest first-class double-century record. - Frank Little, Alltwen, Swansea Valley
Q. How many of the 22 GM Vauxhall Conference teams would have been eligible for promotion to the Third Division had they won the Conference title? Is the present situation really as daft as it seems?
A. In the answer to Tony Crosby (Q &A, 11 June), surely he has missed the point. Granted, setting a standard for ground improvements does encourage "more clubs to give their loyal fans some additional comforts, which they might not otherwise have had", but surely it would be more sensible for the Football League to adopt the Conference's policy. This involves a deadline of 6 May for clubs to reach the standards necessary, and if the champions fail to do so, then the runners-up are given the same opportunity for promotion.
Also, at the end of this season, Hednesford Town (Beazer Homes League champions) had failed to meet the requirements of the Conference by the deadline set, yet completed all necessary work by early June: they have been granted promotion, yet this will be appealed against by the now relegated club, Merthyr Tydfil. I agree, though, that it would be unfair on relegation- threatened clubs to offer a reprieve and then take it away. Finally, for clubs to undertake expensive ground improvements (as is often the case), they will normally need to be pretty confident of the financial gains of league status to risk such an outlay. - Daniel Hogg, Altrincham
Q. Stephen Hendry's 147 raises the quiz question as to the maximum possible break in snooker (155 - free ball plus black, then the standard 147). Has any break in excess of 147 been recorded?
A. If a free ball is awarded with all 15 reds still on the table, this creates the "extra red" which technically makes a break of 155 possible. Steve James made a 16-red clearance against Alex Higgins in the 1990 Embassy World Championship, the only one recorded in competition, but his break still only amounted to 135.
The Rotherham professional Steve Duggan made a break of 148 in a witnessed practice frame at Doncaster in April 1988 and Tony Drago made a 149 in one at West Norwood Snooker Centre in February this year. - Clive Everton, Editor, Snooker Scene, Edgbaston
Q. Miguel Indurain, who has won the Tour de France for the last four years, won the Midi Libre race in France on 29 May, but why did he not opt for the more prestigious Giro d'Italia in his preparations for the Tour?
A. "The gap between the start of the Giro and the end of the Tour is 49 days. That's too long to stay at the top of your form." Indurain quoted in Cycle Sport, July 1995 (page 12) - John Peaks, Erith
Q. As the following XI illustrates, it is still possible to pick a team of cricketers competing at the highest domestic standard, each having made their county debut in the Seventies: 1 Gooch (debut 1973), 2 Larkins (1972), 3 Athey (1976), 4 Briers (1971), 5 Lynch (1977), 6 Emburey (1973), 7 French (1976), 8 Parsons (1978), 9 Pigott (1978), 10 Cooper (1976), 11 Childs (1975). Can any other team sport better this longevity at top level? - N P Lovejoy, Shenley Brock End
Q. What is the protocol for the exchange of football shirts after international matches? Does a goalkeeper swap with a goalkeeper, etc? Is it obligatory, and when and how did this practice start?
- Simon Bromwich, Bradford
Q. On the 11 June 1995 England's national football, cricket and rugby union teams all played an international match. When, if ever, did this last occur? - Don Mathison, Warrington
Q. If Rob Andrew had not scored that memorable drop goal in injury time last Sunday, the Australia v England quarter-final would have gone into extra time. Had the scores remained the same after the extra period (one converted try and five penalties each), how would the result of the tie have been settled? - David Balcombe, Northwood

Time Lapse and panoramas with the PL5
qksmith wrote:
Anyone got recommendation on systems for time lapse on the PL5 and samples from the inbuilt pano function?
You can do time lase quite easily with all the Olympus mft cameras : they have an antishock option that will allow you to use the cheaper remote release and lock it on the continuous drive and be done.
However, time lase photography are very demanding on the shutter and if you makes many of them would ruin it after a while. I won't shoot time lapse videos with a new camera. I have dedicated my E-P1 to that : it has almost no resell value now, since it is slow and lacks the plug for the E-VF, while having a bad LCD Compared to the newer E-P3, E-Pl5 etc. also be prepared to the fact that it will eat batteries and thosee batteries aren't cheap. So really, I won't use the new E-Pl5 for that, really. Shutter counts are limited on a camera. For one minute of video, you can need up to 1000 shots, so you are bound to reach the shutter life limits sooner than you think. Pro cameras ar able to reach something like 300'000 releases, but consumer cameras like the MFT cameras much less.

Letter no 15: I'm not angry, I laughed.Mature
Dearest David.
You are an a-hole. The biggest one in the world right now actually! I should want to rip your face off like so many of my friends do but instead I swear I had to laugh.
Why you ask?! Well you should know why!
In all the time that you knew me what did I despise the most? That's right. Being LIED to.
It seemed a bit strange that you would go down to visit your sister and then suddenly come back up and want to break up with me. Oh and then there was the fact that there was a girl CONSTANTLY talking to you and liking all your statuses on facebook and stuff.
I mean COME ON. It doens't take a genius to figure it out. Especially since she lives near your sister.
So I remember, I asked you indirectly, gave you a chance to tell me for yourself what the real reason that you broke up with me was. But you were so sincere, you looked so honest I actually believed you. And that is why I felt so awful. I see it now.
I didn't know why you broke up with me. I had your half assed excuses but I knew that there was something more. I was convinced I had done something terribly wrong. I wondered why, when you had told me that you loved me, that you decided to take my heart out and trample it into the ground and remain so calm and emotionless about it. I figured that you'd been thinking about it for a while because you were so calm about it.
Now I can see that you're just incapable of emotion.
Man whore.
Ugh..I have one big regret right now, want to know what it is?
Not laughing in your face!
I really should have. You would have deserved it so much more then my tears.
If I see you on the street I swear I will have to laugh at you. And letting me find out via FACEBOOK??? I mean COME ON. If I hadn't already pretty much known it you would be a dead man right now.
"No Alli I swear I'm not breaking up with you because of what you're thinking. There's nothing going on. That's not the reason."
Oh and less then two months later you're IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH HER FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!
I would love to hurt you right now, just because you lied.
It's fine though. I don't need you anymore and now she's stuck with you, if you lied to me, you'll lie to her won't you? Yeah I thought so...
Ha! Love you? Yes I did.
But not the you that you are now. I loved the old you and I always will. I loved the you that didn't look me in the eye and blatantly lie to me.
It's cool though. Next time you see me I hope you realise what you lost. And no, I'm not talking about me as a girlfriend. Because we could have been friends, and I know I'm a good friend, we could have been really good friends even through all this. IF ONLY YOU HADN'T LIED TO ME!!
God that's the only thing that makes me angry. I totally would love to just heap all of your things into a bin and set fire to them, film it, and put it on facebook and tag you in it.
You arrogant foolish boy.
But no, I'm going to give you back your things after exams. I've got them all packed up nicely for you. I'm going to give them to you.
It's a pity you're such an a-hole... Like I said before Dave, we could have been friends. But it's too late for that now.
Take care of yourself dear!
Ps. DIE IN A HOLE!

The spontaneous cheers and shouts from the enthused audience behind the curtains were like a drug to Chris. The Anaheim audience was drinking this concert up, and he was absorbing their excitement. Sure, he was working on his 21st birthday, but could this honestly be described as working? No, he was doing what he loved with the people he loved.
"River Deep Mountain High" was drawing to a close. Chris heard the ending strains of Naya's and Amber's voices floating back to him on the air, bringing with it the thrillingly anticipatory feeling that came with being on stage in front of thousands of people. The "Brittany/Klaine" skit was coming up soon. Chris tried to remind himself that his nerves had nothing to do with acting with Darren.
Chris stood up, stretching in front of the door that he would be expected to walk through in five minutes. He wasn't sure where the rest of the cast and crew were; it was unusual for him to have any moments of quiet on the Glee Live tour. Still, he wasn't complaining. The continuous chaos of tour life only made the rare peaceful moments more cherished.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHRIS!" A loud voice shouted from directly behind him, making him jump in shock.
Chris turned around to see Darren. So much for peace. "Thanks, Darren . . . for the fiftieth time." His shorter, excitable coworker had taken to sneaking up on Chris at random moments throughout the day to wish him a happy birthday. It never failed to amuse him when Chris yelped in surprise, so Chris had tried to master the skill of looking nonchalant when his heart was racing inside.
"Fifty-first time, by my count. But you're welcome." Darren beamed at him, and Chris tried to control the nerves that cropped up that had nothing to do with the upcoming skit.
"What are you doing here?" Chris asked distractedly. It was hard thinking straight when Darren was aiming that high-powered smile right at him. "You have to be onstage soon."
"Yeah, they're probably looking for me," Darren said agreeably.
Chris rolled his eyes. Darren had this enviable skill of being completely unconcerned with everything. Hakuna matata.
"I need help." Darren pouted pathetically, his hazel eyes trained on Chris for maximum effect.
"With . . .?" Chris asked suspiciously. Working with Darren had taught Chris to always expect the unexpected. Once, Darren had dragged Chris out of bed at three in the morning for a Disney marathon. The boy thrived on spontaneity.
"My tie-tying talents are . . . nonexistent," Darren admitted, gesturing at his chest.
Chris forced himself to pull his gaze away from his handsome face to his equally attractive body. To Darren's credit, he actually did seem to need help. His tie was tangled up around his neck. Chris took a step towards Darren and started fiddling with the knot, carefully avoiding the skin showing beneath the man's Dalton blazer and unbuttoned white-collared shirt. It only took him a moment to fix the mess Darren had created.
"There," he announced, dropping his hands from Darren's chest reluctantly. "How you managed to do that, I'm not sure. . . ." Chris tried to take a step back, but bumped into the wall behind him. How did that get there? He and Darren must have shifted in the struggle with the tie. "'Scuse me." Chris pointed behind him. "I'm a bit stuck."
Darren didn't move. "Are you nervous?" His eyes searched Chris's, hazel meeting light blue intensely.
It took a moment for Chris's brain to understand what Darren was talking about. "Um, no?" His voice went up an octave, betraying him. "I mean, I'm nervous we're going to miss our cues if you don't get back to your place."
"So that's a yes on being nervous, then." Darren nodded decisively. "Right, I can fix that. In return for the tie, of course." He leaned a bit closer, his face an inch from Chris. "Happy birthday," he whispered with a mischievous smile.
Chris found himself whispering, too. "You already said that."
"True." Darren didn't move away, a fact that made Chris apprehensive. "Well, how 'bout I spice things up a bit?"
And Chris didn't have time to think of a response, because suddenly Darren's lips were on his, and it was confusing, because he was dressed as Blaine and looked like Blaine, but this was so not like Kurt kissing Blaine, this was more, and holy crap, since when could Darren kiss like that?
Chris sort of melted back against the wall, one hand reaching up to pull Darren in by his tie. Darren followed, his lips still attached to Chris's, and the pair pressed against the wall fiercely. Chris couldn't help but run a hand through Darren's hair, pressing his lips against Darren's insistently.
And then Darren licked Chris's bottom lip, and he moaned, he couldn't help it. Darren took the opportunity to slip his tongue inside of Chris's mouth.
Dimly, Chris registered that Heather had started speaking onstage, but he didn't care about being late anymore, he only cared about Darren and the noises he was making and the sinful things he could do with his tongue.
But all too soon, Darren was pulling away, his eyes bright and glinting, his hair half-gelled, half-curly. Chris could only imagine what he looked like; from the feel of his lips, they were definitely swollen.
"What was- you just- you can't- Darren!" Chris spluttered, his cheeks reddening in embarrassment. "What the hell was that? We don't have time to get made up again! Are you crazy?"
"You weren't complaining much earlier," Darren replied with an infuriatingly smug look on his face. "Unless those moans I heard were complaints."
"Darren!" Chris shrieked indignantly. "Oh, God. Stop talking. Don't- ohmygod."
"Yeah," Darren grinned cheekily at Chris and grabbed his tie, which was, for some reason, hanging out the front of Chris's pants. "Happy birthday." And with one last knowing smile in Chris's direction, Darren turned and walked away, just as Heather called out, "Blaine Warbler, will you come here?" from onstage. The man had impeccable timing.
Chris leaned back against the wall, trying to slow his breathing. He fussed with his hair, trying to get it to lay down, then shrugged and gave up. Why not indulge the ever-observant fangirls? They'd have a field day with his and Darren's appearances if they could put two and two together.
Straightening up with a sigh, Chris took a quick inventory of his clothes to make sure nothing was ripped, misplaced, or undone. He then walked up the stairs that led onstage to make his entrance.
Sometimes, he thought a minute later as he did a high-kick onstage that was intentionally close to "Blaine's" face, Darren Criss is the gayest straight man alive.
Happy birthday, indeed.
Author's Note: This is my first attempt at Criss Colfer. I didn't really ship this until I wrote this fic. Make of that what you will. ;D Feel free to review and tell me what you think! I love writing fanfics but I'm not sure if I'm that great, haha. Ah well, fun is fun. :)

As part of its goal to stay ahead of the mobile curve, Salesforce.com leaps into wearables with a freshly launched developer platform that's likely to change the business world as we know it.
Initial use of Google Glass in digital marketing creates new opportunities for agencies and brands to engage with consumers in a daring way. Kenneth Cole experimented with this nascent technology, and the results were more than impressive.
Google hired Ivy Ross, a renowned fashion executive, to lead its Glass team. Will she be able to alter public perception and convince everyone that Glass is more than a toy for tech geeks?
Rumors that Nike decided to lay off most of the hardware team working on its fitness wearable device sent shockwaves through the entire wearable-tech world. Industry insiders are worried about wearables being nothing more than a passing fad. Will their fears come true?
With the ubiquity of connectivity, brick-and-mortar visits are slowly but surely fading away. How can traditional retailers turn the tide in the battle of bricks versus clicks?
While dynamic pricing has mostly been associated with online vendors, one consulting group says that brick-and-mortar retailers can now join in with this game-changing strategy thanks to new technologies.
Tory Burch, probably Michael Kors's biggest competitor, is making a push into men's accessories and activewear. What does this mean for the king of practical luxury?
Despite a rather gloomy outlook for some of the big names in the luxury territory, there are three reasons for rejoice: Young, urban, and male. According to HSBC, an emerging cultural subset is going to give luxury players a much needed shot in the arm.
Many luxury houses are dropping logos that shout, even though these logos have been the very pillars of their success. Why are we witnessing a more discreet tone in this space? More importantly, will this strategy bear fruit?
The explosion of blogs and social media changed the fashion industry forever and enabled the rise of the "fashion blogger" phenomenon. Retailers have benefited from collaborating with influential bloggers in the past. But, going forward should they be more cautious?

Berries and flowers on the bushes are withering underneath their little glacial coatings. The trees loom like skeletons and the stars have been polished by winter's cold.

In his first match after the loss to Rafael Nadal in the finals of the French Open 2011, Federer appeared to be in prime-form as he unleashed a full array of dazzling stroke-play to crush Mikhail Kukushkin.
Appearing ecstatic after the almost easy victory, Federer said, "It feels like if things go well for me I can go extremely far here, whereas at Roland Garros I feel it's a bit more on other opponents' rackets."
And added, "But here I feel it's a bit more on mine. That's why I'll always play with some pressure here at Wimbledon just because of the occasion and what it means to me. I was nervous going out in today's match."
Meanwhile, Djokovic appeared to have reclaimed the form that led him to 41-match unbeaten streak before being beaten by Roger Federer. He made a mincemeat of Jeremy Chardy and set up a second round date with either South African Kevin Anderson or Ukraine's Illya Marchenko.
A relaxed Djokovic, in his post-match conference said, "When this streak ended in Paris, it was kind of a relief because it's been a very successful five or six months for me, but very long as well and exhausting."
And added, "I've played so many matches. So I needed some time to relax, and I'm happy to see that I'm playing well again and that I'm mentally really fresh to have more success."
Expressing satisfaction with the way he has started the tournament, the big-serving Serbian said, "I'm very satisfied with the way I started the tournament. This performance was great. My serve was very accurate in quite difficult conditions for both of us because we had to face the strong wind."

Man of Knowledge (Part 1)
"You OK?"
Leon looked up at Nick. The tall spindley boy was in charge of getting up all the orphans for cleaning duty. Was it time to wake already, then? Leon didn't feel like it. It had only been three days since the incident at the warehouses. Leon was already back at the orphanage. He felt… drained. Was it because he was a killer now?
"Yeah, I'll be alright, Nick."
The boy nodded. "Alright, man." He walked off, but stopped to shout out the Matron's orders. Apparently, Leon was on street cleaning duty. Great, there was nothing like cutting grass and trimming the hedges of every darn house under the orphanage's ownership to start off a morning.
Leon found himself with Matt and Ali, all of whom had started with the decorative bushes in front of the orphanage.
"So, Leon," Matt said, "You feeling OK?"
Leon just nodded. It was a lie, but one that satisfied Matt. Ali was a different story though.
"What you did was… well, not usual," she said, finishing her bush already, like usual. "I think it was something to do with that bug."
Leon nearly left. For the past three days, every one of his friends had suggested that the bug was to blame. Little did they know, it was just Leon… He had remembered the… incident… that night, like a memory. At first, he thought it was just another of the memories from the bug, but he saw Ali, Cat, Tristen, Cass, and Matt in it. It appeared as clear as day, too, unlike the other memories. He remembered the movements.
And Leon knew he could do them again.
"You OK, man?"
Leon jumped at the sound of Matt's voice. "Yeah, just a rough subject, truly."
Ali and Matt stopped trimming their respective bushes and stared down Leon. Was there something on his face? Or was it just their skepticism of his condition? Wait… Skepti-what? "Well then," Leon said, "My words seem to have gotten more defined."
Matt laughed. "You trying to show Ali up or something?"
"No, just something in my head…"
They shut up. Leon knew why. Just the day before, Leon came close to correcting Ali on something. ALI! That was like telling Matt how to plan or teaching Cass to fight. He was slowly learning from the memories, almost like instinct. What was going to happen? Would his brain explode? No, that was physically impos- What was happening!?
Leon took a deep breath and concentrated on cutting his bush. His first bush. Ali was on her fourth and Matt on his third. They had been busy while Leon was lost in thought. Well, he would show them! Leon concentrated hard and started to cut. His shears rapidly sped along, cutting any of the stray limbs from the main body. For some reason, each snip of the shears was dead on. It came naturally this time. Leon, thinking of winning and winning alone, simply ignored it. Before he knew it, he had done ten of the bushes. Being only twenty all together, Ali and Matt had done six and four respectively.
Matt looked at him oddly and whispered something to Ali. She nodded and walked off to start on the grass. The lawnmower was around back, so that left Matt alone with Leon.
"Look man, we need to talk."
Leon sighed. He knew this was coming. He stabbed the shears in the ground. "Alright."
Matt did the same. They were aloud breaks between chores so long as they got done. The orphanage wasn't very full at the time thanks to the latest cure for cancer. Not many people were being regenerated, so there were homes for those who were.
"What exactly have you learned from that thing?"
Leon looked at his friend. "It's doing what that man said it would…" Leon replied, running a hand through his long hair. "So far I can cook relatively well, talk and understand more complex matters, and" – Leon looked to his nearly perfect bushes – "trim bushes with talent and speed. Honestly it's-"
"And you can kill," Matt said, cutting him off.
Way to kill a mood. Leon was just getting excited, talking about the things he could do, and forgetting about the thing he did do… "What do you want me to say, Matt?!" Leon yelled, causing his friend to jump a little. Leon took a breath and added quietly, "I know I killed someone, I won't be forgetting that anytime soon…"
Matt nodded. "Sorry man, I just don't want you getting cocky or flipping out on us."
Ali was back then, the two mowers rolling behind her. She had put her red hair up and changed into jeans and a tanktop, obviously for the purpose of giving Matt time to talk with Leon. She had probably distracted the Matron as well. Clever plan, but Leon was used to it for when they snuck out.
The rest of the morning was spent cutting grass and weeding the flowerbeds by the road. No one talked to Leon, but Matt and Ali did speak among themselves as they cleaned the flowerbeds. It was probably about Leon's mental condition or uncanny knowledge of random things. Maybe even his speech of abilities.
The Orphanage was meant to look like a nice place for any child orphaned by regeneration or death of parents. Death was rare, but it still happened. No one would talk about it, but the human population was slowly decreasing. Eventually, everyone would be dead.

Thanks, Andy.
I saw those, but was unsure if I could get those to work (I am not a programmer). I also thought that they just called up the web service for LMI & GTA and not to a PC located on the same LAN.
I was hoping for the location in SW where I could modify the VNC tool.

The family of murdered Drummer Lee Rigby fought back tears as they paid tribute to him today.
Here is a transcript of their interview this morning:
Ian Rigby (Drummer Rigby's stepfather): To do an introduction first, we have Rebecca, which is Lee's wife.
Rebecca Rigby (Drummer Rigby's wife): I just want to say that I love Lee, I always will and I'm proud to be his wife. He was due to come up this weekend so we could continue our future together as a family. He was a devoted father to our son Jack, and we'll both miss him terribly.
Ian Rigby: Thank you.
I now have a prepared statement made by all the family collectively. I'm going to read through and then we'll give you the opportunity of whatever questions we can answer without affecting the case as it stands.
What can we say about Lee, our hero? We are so proud of Lee.
When he was born the family adored him. He was a precious gift given to us.
Lee had a fiery temper. When he was younger I used to sit on him until he calmed down, until he was about 15 and then he got too big and he used to sit on me.
Lee's dream of growing up was always to join the Army, which he succeeded in doing. He was dedicated and loved his job.
Lee adored and cared a lot for all his family, and he was very much a family man looking out for his wife, his young son Jack and his younger sisters, who in turn looked up to him.
He always had the banter with them but would never, ever let any harm come to them. He was over the moon being a dad and an uncle and he adored all his family.
Lee was a man who loved people. He had many friends growing up in Middleton and on army duties all over the world where he'd been sent.
He believed life was for living and he will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
Courtney and Amy, his younger sisters, wrote this for Lee: "Rest in peace Lee. We loved you so much and you didn't deserve this. You fought for your country and did it well. You will always be our hero, we are just upset you've left us so early. We love you Lee, goodnight."
The last text he sent to his mum, read: "Goodnight mum. I hope you had a fantastic day today, because you are the most fantastic, one in a million mum that anyone could ever wish for. Thank you for supporting me all these years. You're not just my mum, you're my best friend. Goodnight and love you loads."
We would like to say goodnight, Lee. Rest in peace, our fallen soldier. We love you loads and words could not describe how loved and sadly missed you will be.
We would like to thank everybody, the police and the army, for the amazing support we have received and for all the goodwill messages all over the country we are receiving in memory of Lee.
Our hearts have been ripped apart from us and everyone is struggling to cope with this tragedy, so we would ask the press to respect our privacy to grieve our son's parting as we try and come to terms.
Now I've got a little - it's basically like a poem that (Lee's sister) Sara (McClure)'s put on here.
"You fought bravely, and with honour died
You leave your family so full of pride
Sleep well young soldier, your job is done
Your war is over, your battle won
Our family chain is broken and nothing is the same
But as God takes us one by one, our chain will link again."
Thank you.
Right - we're prepared to accept questions. If you come directly through me, I'll answer what I can, and we'll take it from there.
Question: How proud was Lee to serve in the army?
Ian Rigby: Extremely. He's always wanted to serve for the army. He's been all over Cyprus, Germany...
Rebecca Rigby: He's been to Jordan.
Ian Rigby: Never more proud - he went to Jordan. His proudest moments were serving in London on ceremonials with the drum corps.
Rebecca Rigby: He was very proud to be a drummer.
Ian Rigby: He was.
Rebecca Rigby: He was very proud to take part in the ceremonial parades and beating the retreat with the drums while we were in London.
Rebecca Rigby: You don't expect it to happen.
Ian Rigby: No, you don't expect it, I mean...
Rebecca Rigby: When he's in the UK. You think they're safe.
Ian Rigby: When he's in Afghan, I mean, you come to terms with it.
Rebecca Rigby: You know there's dangers, don't you, when you go somewhere like that.
Ian Rigby: You don't expect something like that on your doorstep. It's very difficult.
Rebecca Rigby: He's walked up and down that road so many times before.
Question: When did you find out?
Ian Rigby: I mean, really, as soon as it came on the news, on the television. Obviously we didn't know it was Lee but your heart skips a beat when you see something like that on the telly when you know your son's in that area.
So as soon as it was released on the telly, you know, we were attempting to get hold of Lee, which obviously we couldn't.
And it was middle of the night probably when we actually got it confirmed to us it was Lee.
Question: What will you miss most about Lee?
Rebecca Rigby: Everything.
Ian Rigby: Everything. His love for his family, his incredible sense of humour. He was a loving son and a wonderful father and I just can't tell you how much he'll be missed.
Ian Rigby: Thank you.

Scott Phillips talks to The Business
It seems the interest rate easing cycle may be at an end. At least that's what some observers are reading into Westpac's decision today to raise its fixed rate loan. The Motley Fool's Scott Phillips shares his insight.
TICKY FULLERTON, PRESENTER: Talking about the Reserve Bank it seems the interest rate easing cycle may be at an end, at least that's what some observers are reading into Westpac's decision today to raise its fixed rate loan.
I'm joined in the studio by the Motley Fool's Scott Phillips.
Scott, do you believe this is a sign that the cycle has finished for now?
SCOTT PHILLIPS, INVESTMENT ANALYST, THE MOTLEY FOOL: Yes, I think that's absolutely what we're led to believe by Westpac making that decision. They're really saying that there's no further cuts on the horizon, at least not in the short to medium term.
They've taken a decision that rates in the medium term are going to be higher than they are today or rather than the same or lower. I think we will see a lot of banks following Westpac's lead given they've moved first and slightly creep their rates up.
TICKY FULLERTON: Looking at another cycle that seems to be coming to an end, the mining cycle. I'm just looking at the jobs just today which seem to have gone, 100 gone at Rio, 100 at Xstrata, 400 at Orica's consumable business.
SCOTT PHILLIPS: We've talked a lot over the mining boom, the fact that it's sliding down. This is really another sign that the real boom in exploration, the boom in extension of mines and new production is really being curbed at the moment. We see the mining services companies have a tough 12 or 18 months, even the darlings of the sector having to report the F 14 outlook was murky.
There's some concrete decisions in the last couple of days with actual jobs being cut which does say that the mining companies aren't giving enough ongoing work to these companies to really keep the work forces in place and companies are really battening down for what could be a much less exciting future to come in the next year or two in terms of new development, new extensions to current mines and certainly new exploration.
We've seen BHP and Rio pull back on programs. We've seen the iron ore price really coming down a bit and fluctuating quite a lot. A lot of miners are pulling in their horns and tightening their belts and all sorts of good metaphors to really pull back on the non essential spending effectively and that's really hurting those miner companies, that really make their living feeding off the larger miners exploration..
TICKY FULLERTON: Spending on the other hand seems to be going up in infrastructure and in particular with the NBN. Suggestions today that these roll out numbers for NBN Co are coming down, they may in fact be halving their numbers. I think it was 283,000 homes passed by June 2013, the numbers might even be halved when they come out. I mean if NBN Co was a listed company how would investors be treating it?
SCOTT PHILLIPS: Not very well at the moment. With a longer term view you might take a different view. But it's very very hard to work out what's going on with this company. Less than half, 283,000 were the number they were supposed to be passing, numbers in today's press of 140,000, so less than half.
Senator Conroy saying he's not had a lot of detail about what's going on. Maybe yes minister going on there. The Minister hasn't yet been told the bad news potentially. Mike Quigley due to give him some information. Senator Conroy asking again apparently for more information's so we should stay tuned for some more information, probably bad news coming from the company now.
TICKY FULLERTON: Meanwhile the Shadow Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull over the weekend was saying it could take 20 years or more to compete. Perhaps at a cost of $100 billion. Now, I suppose the multi-billion-dollar question is how much will it cost to stop it, to stop the roll out and rip the agreement up with Telstra, if that's what they want to do?
SCOTT PHILLIPS: Yes, that's right. Telstra believe they've got this absolute rock solid guarantee, the $11 billion payment from the government in at present value terms. They're banking on that money. They're progressing as if it's happening. Very hard for a government either Labor or Liberal to unwind this one. They're really kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. It's going to cost a lot of money to complete, but even more to rip up. Telstra will want compensation for that. It's going to take a long time and be expensive but to rip it up will cost a whole lot more money again.
If the Coalition are to win government in September a lot to work out to keep Telstra on side, give them fair compensation but also have a good result for the public.
TICKY FULLERTON: It seems the government has more maths challenges. The Financial Review running a story today that there's a new $3 billion hole in the budget with the Government announcing a delay in the money from spectrum options?
SCOTT PHILLIPS: Yes, absolutely. Senator Conroy in the news, he's in the wars this week. We've had the media stuff going on, the NBN roll out, here we're hearing about the spectrum issue. A $3 billion-odd due to be paid, the deposits are due to be paid very soon.
All of a sudden the Government pushing back the deadline for those payments probably suggesting perhaps that maybe one or both companies, certainly probably Optus, the one maybe not coming to the party or not prepared to put up the amount of money that has been expected. The Government hopefully are saving face and pushing that deadline back hopefully to give companies a bit more time and possibly try and salvage a deal that Optus may walk away from.
TICKY FULLERTON: Vodafone pulled out earlier in January. Big questions over the management of the option I think.
Scott Phillips, thank you very much for joining us.

Hopes are growing that some of the 403-acre site will be saved for carmaking with at least one bid for the MG sports car business, from a group led by Fraser Welford-Winten, former head of Rover's engines arm, with US investor backing.
The group wants to produce 30,000 MGs and Austin Healeys - a sports car last made in the 1960s - by its third year, using two existing Longbridge plants. Plans include a revamped MG Midget selling for £14,000. Austin Healeys may be priced at between £30,000 and £60,000.
Birmingham businessman Martyn Moseley is thought to be pursuing the whole of MG Rover, as are consortiums led by Chinese carmakers Nanjing Auto and China Geely.
Developer St Modwen Properties bought the Longbridge site in two deals in 2003 and 2004 for £57.5m, agreeing to lease it back to MG Rover for 35 years at an annual rent of £5m.
The next quarterly rent payment is due by tonight but administrators PricewaterhouseCoopers have legal powers to force St Modwen to accept a series of smaller payments spread over the quarter.
The land is a huge redevelopment opportunity, potentially worth hundreds of millions of pounds.Reuse content

... route we had to take, as sometimes happens with satnav , it directed us on a scenic tour through the beautiful English countryside where we were introduced to villages with such quaint names as Lynsore Bottom, Pett Bottom and Stilling Minnis!!!
We are stopping over with Ann's rellies until Thursday. It was lovely to see Ivy again and were pleased to find her, at ninety, her usual bright and cheery self and looking well.
Our Last Supper.

After lunch we went for a walk along the waters edge and around the village. We weren't very far from home, in fact we could see Winston up on the hill just waiting for us. We still can't get over the tides here, when we arrived for lunch the tide was just starting to come in, it was out that far that boats ...
All Blacks and Canterbury
... to Canterbury, where we wandered round the awe-inspiring Cathedral. Of course we have seen pictures of it, and had heard it is magnificent, but we still weren't prepared for the scale and the splendour. Not to mention the history. 4 of us had lunch outside an old pub within sight of the gates, and just drank in the sights. Oh and a beer.
Our camp tonight is on the south coast, only about half an hour from Dover, from where we will depart tomorrow on the ferry for ...
Kent, Maidstone
... back to the hotel. It wasn't a good call, particularly as we had driven through Rochester which looked far more interesting. We didn't find the regenerated waterfront area that I remembered from a previous visit and although the Chatham Maritime museum looked promising, it was too late in the day to justify the �17 entry fee so we walked away again. It was another Cooper Pigeonaire moment.
Consequently we got back to the hotel ...
Oh Dear... A Boat!
Hi Everyone,
We finished up in Italy - went to Florence, went to Venice, saw some other cool stuff, Mum came and stayed which was lovely. The kids loved Italy, we all learnt some Italian and so on.

I always prefer to visit the temples in the morning. Someshwara Temple in Ulsoor, Bangalore is one of the temples I visit as and when possible. It is not close to my house, but still I like to visit this ancient temple whenever possible. I had already planned something else for the day, but when my daughter wanted to visit this temple, I kept away all my other engagements and decided to accompany her.
Someshwara Temple was built in Chola dynasty and is a splendid architecture of southern India.
As you enter inside you can see the flower vendors ready with various types of flowers and bhelva leaves, (Lord Shiva's favorite), and Basil leaves. After purchasing the pooja flowers and leaving your footsteps outside in the footstep stand for a token, you can enter inside through the huge rajagopuram.
Just before we reached there, a wedding ceremony was conducted in the temple, and the scattered rice grains and the newly wedded couple pausing for photos were our evidence. The bride was feeling shy, appeared to be a traditional bharatheeya madhumakalu, and covering her face with one hand, yet peeping through the left out space watching what is going on, to escape from the teasing friends.
A man sitting at the temple platform issues the tickets for archana and other pujas, and people enter inside with their tickets, after touching and taking the blessings of the huge idol of Nandi in front of it.
Once their prayer is over they come out with the prasadams and do the pradhakshina. Most of the devotees sit for a while. We too sat there enjoying around.
On Mahashivaratri Festival day, the crowd will be too much to get a glimpse of darshan.

In 1972, right before my sophomore year in college, and before law school was even a gleam in my eye, my mother took her 20+ year teaching resume to the Blue Springs school system to apply for a job. The superintendent kindly informed her that Blue Springs was not hiring anyone over the age of 40. My mother was about 44. "That's discrimination!" I hollered. "Oh, well," she said, "there's nothing I can do about it."
That was the first time I understood that discrimination was real and that it was not limited to race.
About three years later, though, that superintendent, bless his heart (that's Southern for "not very bright"), wrote a note to my mother, then teaching at Oak Grove, congratulating her on her selection as Central Missouri Teacher of the Year. Too bad, Blue Springs.
In 1978, I entered law school, one of 55 women in a class of 165. That was the largest first year class of women ever at UMKC School of Law, both by percentage – one-third – and in number. It took UMKC another 20 years or so to enroll a class with men and women in equal numbers. I graduated in 1981, passed the bar, and entered what was, at that time, a man's world.
My first job was with Yellow Freight as a real estate negotiator, securing leases for our trucks in all states, and leasing terminal space to other nationwide and regional carriers. At that time, I was the only woman in the country doing that job in the trucking industry. An in-house lawyer approved the documents I prepared, signing off on all the contract details. A couple of years later, that lawyer left and moved to St. Louis. Max and I had by that time decided to get married and live in Sedalia. I thought, however, that it would be worth checking into the legal job with Yellow. I was in the top 5 percent of women wage earners in the country – at $28,900 – and I knew that the job on the 10th floor would pay much better.
Before I could even talk with Max about the possibility, though, I got a phone call. Diane, the Personnel director, asked me to come see her. When I sat down, she smiled and said: "We think that Yellow Freight should have a woman lawyer. Someday. Just not now."
I was stunned. I had just been through my third excellent annual review, had received high marks, and had received the highest raise possible. I was, however, a woman. Hmmmmmm. I decided that the conversation with Max wasn't going to be necessary. When I left Yellow, I was replaced by two men, each of whom was paid more money than I.
That was when I, myself, suffered discrimination because of my gender.
I know that millennials probably don't know this, but women in this country have had the right to vote for only 40 percent of the time of the United States' existence. The 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920, and women have changed their lots in life inch by inch since then. When I graduated from college, women's jobs were pretty much relegated to nursing, teaching, and typing. It wasn't until the 1980s that women were considered almost mainstream in law, medicine, banking, and other professions. And now, 96 years after accepting women voters, a major political party has nominated a woman for President of the United States.
I do not endorse any candidate here. I do, however, rejoice that finally, a woman is being recognized as being qualified, powerful, and able to do the top job in the country.
My mother and father both believed in me. They told me that in this country, I could do anything I wanted to do. And today, finally, at this point in my life, I think I believe what they said those many years ago.
Ladies, we have been deemed valuable in our political process for only 96 years. Regardless of your chosen candidate, vote. It's your right. It's your responsibility. You owe it to those early women's rights pioneers, who thought that we were important enough to be equal. Their work should not go in vain.

The Volcker Rule — an overview - .PDF file.
More than two years after they were originally proposed, on 10 December 2013 the federal banking agencies, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission adopted final regulations to implement section 13 of the Bank Holding Company Act (commonly known as the 'Volcker Rule').
The final rule — which is the culmination of a well-reported and extraordinary regulatory process — is approximately 70 pages long and accompanied by a 900-page preamble that seeks to provide interpretive guidance, respond to the extensive comments received on the proposed rules and clarify the intent of the agencies.
Institutions within the ambit of the Volcker Rule must now begin the process of finalising strategic decisions and implementing a significant compliance programme to accommodate the final rule's intricate limits on trading and investment activities. In taking these steps, institutions also must consider, in addition to the Volcker Rule, certain other rules, such as the capital rules (including a new Basel fund investment framework) and the liquidity coverage ratio…

To get the broadest view of Morocco in a short period of time, a tour with PMT is your best choice. We were lucky to get the owner, Khalid, as our guide and driver, and spent the most wonderful 4 days with him. He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, professional and courteous. Fluent in many languages. I was impressed with the service from the minute I contacted him until we said our goodbyes. Personal and thorough - he even concerned himself with offering help for the rest of our vacation… Read Full Review
