Berlin, 1933. Aspiring actress Clara Vine arrives in Berlin to find work at the famous Ufa studios. Through a chance meeting, she is unwillingly drawn into a circle of Nazi wives, led by Magda Goebbels. British Intelligence officer Leo Quinn sees Clara as the perfect recruit to spy on her new elite friends. But then Magda reveals to Clara a dramatic secret and entrusts her with an extraordinary mission.

"The crosscurrents and dangers of the build-up to war are established with expertise and not a little menace. Terrific." (Elizabeth Buchan for Sunday Times)
"Thynne's thriller is strong on the city's paranoia, and its exploration of the Third Reich's bizarre attitude to women gives it an original take on Nazi Germany" (Mail on Sunday)
"A gripping read"
Authentic, atmospheric and great story line. Wonderfully brave heroine with delicious love scenes.
Clara. A complicated yet open and brave character.
The intimate meetings with Magda Goebbels
Her love affaire
I will be reading this book again in time
"Mixed Bouquet"
No. I really enjoyed the story but several careless mispronunciations and breaks at the wrong points of sentences made it frustrating. Although I want to read more Clara Vine adventures I'll be getting text copies rather than audio for this reason.
Yes the pace was fine it was just the errors mentioned earlier that were irksome. One good thing was that the narrator didn't attempt comedy German accents but just gave people different voices (not always different enough for me though).
One of the pleasures of this book was that it took several topics and themes with the potential for melodrama and presented them in an interesting but not emotionally manipulative way. Reflecting how Magda Goebbels is presented perhaps - a very odd, eventful life but a veneer of cold glamour.
I loved the passages about cinema; details of the studios, mentions of German stars and directors of the time and would have liked more of these kinds of things.
Basically cinema, spies and inter-war Europe are my favourite themes so in that way this book was a delight though the character of Clara needed a bit more oomph.
This is an interesting and sometimes compelling book about a period of history I knew little about. However, it has a very unsatisfactory ending and this is why I did not rate it totally five stars

Vouvray is an appellation that lies along the Loire Valley east of Tours. The vineyard soils hold stony limestone, and flint and chalk mixed with clay, imparting a distinctive mineral character to the wine, which is 100% Chenin Blanc. This full-bodied example has very fine bubbles, a clear golden color with bronze highlights, and persistent small bead. The aromas show a ripe nose, bright and elegant first evokes nuts (hazelnut), then ripe fruit (pear, pineapple), and fine floral notes of lime. A light touch Empyreumatic (toasted, grilled), coats everything. The attack is full wrapped. The material reveals fresh, with a nice smooth evolution. Rhythmic and graceful vinous final with an exquisite aftertaste on brioche and candied fruits.
An excellent value, as a tete de cuvee Champagne would be many times this price, this sparkling Vouvray offers fine bottom-line bang for the buck.
This Vouvray Brut goes well with full-bodied foods such as seafood Wellington; blanquette de veau; crab casserole; chicken with vegetables topped with mashed potato; potato cakes as a vegetarian center-of-plate dish.

So the burning question is how this dual core technology performs. As you'll see from our 'How We Tested' page we did some fairly quick and dirty tests as we only had the weekend to evaluate the system, so we felt it most beneficial to compare Pentium Extreme Edition with a dual Xeon workstation which runs the same 3.2GHz clock speed but on a 533MHz FSB, and also against a 3.4GHz Pentium 4 EE Gallatin.
Intel included documentation about tests we could run using sixteen different applications, and in each case the emphasis was on multimedia coding, which is understandable as this puts the emphasis on processing power. We ran Sysmark 2002 on each platform (SYSmark 2004 would have taken too long) and then ran three of the suggested applications, and perhaps the biggest surprise is that Pentium D (i.e. Hyper-Threading disabled) only loses out to Pentium Extreme Edition 840 in movie encoding. No doubt other applications will show a similar effect but we would suggest that the vast majority of users will see no benefit from four virtual processors.
Probably the least surprising result from our tests is that Pentium Extreme Edition 840 behaves very much like our dual Xeons, and that's despite the fact that it uses the older 875P chipset and a slower FSB. Of course both configurations have four virtual processors but the similarities are startling.
All that said, even though the average PC user is unlikely to be running many multi-threaded applications, if they are running several applications concurrently, a dual-core chip should make a big difference. This ties in well with Intel's push towards the digital home, where a single PC will be performing multiple tasks around the home simultaneously. The idea is that one person could be watching a high definition movie, while someone else could be playing Half-Life 2, without any degradation in performance – something that simply isn't possible with a single core CPU system.
To get an idea of how good the Pentium Extreme Edition is at multitasking we started by playing Doom3 on High Quality settings and as we expected the Radeon X850 handled it flawlessly. We quit the game and started a full system scan running in Norton AV which bumped CPU usage up to 75% or so and then went back into Doom3. Although it took a while longer to start up, game play was completely smooth and the fact that Norton was running was completely undetectable. Once again we quit Doom3 and with Norton still running we set iTunes to encoding two albums of MP3s to AAC format. We opened Doom3 up with both Norton and iTunes running in the background and the game play continued to be superb. It's as though the Pentium Extreme Edition allocates virtual processors to each task, and it provided us with a computing experience that we have never had before. Very, very impressive, so just remember, the benchmarks don't give the full story.
So, would we buy a brand new Pentium Extreme Edition? Probably not, but that's the answer we give with most new technology. We said it about SATA, PCI Express, DDR memory and DDR2 memory, and now we're saying it about dual core processors – ultimately, the price premium for the Pentium Extreme Edition will be too high, and the lack of Hyper Threading in the Pentium D is a disappointment. That said, dual and multi-core processors are definitely the way forward, and as more applications appear that take advantage of multi-threading we'll see some big jumps in performance. As is always the case, early adopters are going to pay a high price for small gains, but as Intel rolls out dual-core chips across all its platforms, software developers will be forced to code applications with multi-thread support. In the meantime though, anyone who's doing a significant amount of multi-tasking should see a significant performance boost right now.

Why does the media insist on calling her Kate Middleton? Did she not marry and become Kate Windsor or the Duchess of Cambridge. Seems very rude to keep saying Kate Middleton

His hopes of becoming a rockstar are in ruins and he's beginning to wish he'd never left Big Springs, Alabama. But his home town doesn't understand him, the girl he loved has left, and his overbearing mother chews over his shortcomings with her Hungryman's portions of barbequed beef at Webster's Steakhouse. So Hughie does what any Johnny Lonely would do; he takes off to find his estranged brother and chase the American Dream. 'Atmospheric, believable, much more than just a good read.' - Denise Robertson MBE, novelist and agony aunt 'Reading Johnny Lonely is funnier than watching a drunk falling over and more poignant than realizing that you're dead.' - Jonathan Trigell, author Boy A and Cham

Canada August resale data signals cooling house market
By Andrea Hopkins
TORONTO (Reuters) - Canadian home resale prices edged higher in August from July but a slower pace of gains and falling prices in three of 11 markets surveyed suggested the market is cooling, the Teranet-National Bank Composite House Price Index showed on Wednesday.
The index, which measures price changes for repeat sales of single-family homes, showed overall prices climbed 0.2 percent in August from a month earlier, the smallest August gain in 12 years.
The index, which does not provide actual prices, was up 4.1 percent from a year earlier, the ninth consecutive month of deceleration in 12-month gains.
The report is the latest in a string of data suggesting that Canada's long upswing in house sales and prices is coming to an end. With cooling evident in Vancouver and several other major cities, speculation has turned to whether the slowdown will be a soft landing or a crash.
"The latest print for the Teranet HPI reinforces the trend observed in other housing measures with a correction well underway in some key markets," Mazen Issa, Canada macro strategist at TD Securities, said in a note to clients.
"While the national measure has been held up by the buoyancy in prices in Toronto, this market is steadily decelerating on a (year-on-year) basis."
The 0.2 percent monthly gain in August was the sixth such increase in a row and was led by a 2.0 percent rise in Hamilton. Prices rose 0.8 percent rise in Ottawa and 0.7 percent in Toronto and Edmonton. Halifax prices were up 0.5 percent, while Winnipeg and Calgary both notched 0.4 percent gains, and Montreal climbed just 0.1 percent.
Prices fell in three cities. Vancouver led the losses with a 1.2 percent decline, Victoria prices fell 0.7 percent, and prices in Quebec City fell 0.6 percent. Continued...

SLIDESHOW: Emma Harman, a true West Seattle treasure, celebrates 100 years
So what is the key to reaching 100 years of age? For Emma Harman, a longtime Fauntleroy resident and progressive 34th district representative in the early 1940s, it seems to be a mixture of vibrant conversation throughout life, a passion for community and politics, good genes, a rural upbringing and a commitment to walk about six blocks every day.
Once a week, those daily walks take her to the Original Bakery where she meets with a group of fellow West Seattleites every Tuesday for pastries, conversation and coffee. The Tuesday crew met up on May 1 to celebrate Harman's 100th birthday, officially on May 5.
"You don't notice until you get there," Harman said of reaching centenarian status, "It's just one day at a time."
Harman partied with close friends on May 1, a group with diverse cultural and professional backgrounds who have come together on Tuesdays for, more or less, the last 25 years. They shared a birthday cake created by Original Bakery owner (since 1972) Bernie Alonzo and signed a poster board that proclaimed in bold letters, "Happy Birthday Emma."
"We talk about everything; maybe what's happening in the news, reports from our families, where we might be going. It's just a wonderful discussion of anything," Harman said of Tuesdays at the bakery.
"They are all from different walks of life, but they have all met and formed the group," Alonzo said. "All these people, Emma and all of them, I think are super special … because they are living history. 100 years: that is almost a third of our country's history."
Harman grew up in what is now Newcastle, her home and small family farm now the grounds of Issaquah Elementary.
When asked what she contributes a century of life, good health and a lively mind to, she went back to the beginning.
"My parents lived to be quite old – 80 and 90," she said, and her grandma lived well into her 80s – quite a feat for anyone around the turn of the 20th century.
She figures being "raised in the country" likely helped as well. "Lots of exercise, milking and gardening." She said the family raised chickens and cows and gardened to sustain themselves.
Harman was elected to the Washington State House of Representatives in the early 1940s, representing the 34th District as a democrat with a very progressive agenda for the time (and representing one of only a few women to attain public office). She said her biggest issue was getting pensions for seniors who had worked hard their whole lives.
70 years later, she is as sharp as ever.
"We are still doing the same thing," she said. "We don't have enough money to run state government and the schools and to take care of the improvements the country needs. The schools and the social problems are the last things they fund."
Having 100 years under your belt, however, provides the amazing gift of perspective.
"We have come a long way," Harman continued. "Teachers get more adequate pay (for example). When I went to high school, women teachers got $100 a month and men got $125. Isn't that unbelievable? And the rationalization of that was that women didn't have any responsibilities and the men had to keep a family. They didn't ever ask her if she had any!"
Harman offered a bit of sage advice for the younger generation as they work their way down the river of life.
"I think that they should take an interest in what is happening in the community around them, in the government, and how things are going because it is only by their participation that we are going to have a good government," she said. "That's my advice."
The party slowly thinned out as Harman's friends gave her hugs and thanked her for years of friendship.
As bakery owner Alonzo packed up the remaining sliver of cake in a box for Harman, someone asked him, "Do you want to live to be 100?"
"Only if I can be like Emma," he replied.

text: I often use Leopard's Screen Sharing capabilities via my Macbook Pro laptop to control my mac pro desktop computer. The problem is that my desktop computer is running a dual-monitor configuration, with a 1920x1200 primary screen, and a 2560x1600 30" Cinema Display as my secondary screen, which as you can imagine is pretty difficult to manage from the measly 1440x900 resolution of my laptop. I was hoping that someone might be able to help me create an applescript (that can be launched with a single click from either the Dock or a Finder Window Toolbar), which I could use to enable the Display Panel option to "Mirror Displays", and then to change the resolution of my Mac Pro's screen to 1600x1000 for reasonable viewing on my Macbook Pro. If two scripts need to be created for this to work (one to toggle display settings for remote viewing, and another to toggle them back to normal), then that would be fine, but if it's not any more or less difficult to have a single script handle both directions of the toggle, then that would of course be best... Any help that anyone can offer here would be sincerely appreciated! Thanks so much for your time!

Themble is a site based around "theming" or designing sites. I want to play off the whole Thimble (attached image) pun and perhaps use one in the logo, but it's not necessary. I want it to come across as a small cozy site instead of a massive corporation type thing.
The market is anyone who designs or "themes" sites or templates.
It needs to be scalable since I will be using this in both web and print work.
It also need to be able to change the color of the text since it may be on a dark or light colored background depending on where it's located.

SB suffix code
Hi, I just picked up this small block to rebuild but I can't find the suffix code anywhere. The casting numbers on the back are 3970010. The numbers on the heads are 39271 85. But on the front pad I have V0402CLY. "What is CLY"
now for your cly suffix the C stands for car and the other stamping suffix can't really make it out but it's the date stamping for your block looks like L 10 0 the L is Dec. and the 10 is the date an the 0 on the end is for the year and by the stamp pad in the front of the block is a later block pad so i'd say it's a 1980 block so the block was made Dec./10/1980
I don't see that suffix code anywhere, either.
HEADS- 3927185....69-76...307/327/350..70cc chambers.
3970010 blocks were cast until 1979 or '80- depending on who you ask, so I'm gonna say the date is Dec. of '70, which would put this engine into a '71 vehicle. 327's were gone by then, so that would make this a 350. A quick measurement of the swept area of a bore will confirm this.
Also, it was cast in Flint, MI.
That's what I came up with also. But what's the suffix code CLY from? Has anyone come seen this before.
The engine is a 4 bolt and it's a 2 bbl.
Thanks, Dan
Along with that suffix code there should have been a partial VIN stamped on the pad also, unless it was a replacement block.
The pad is small. It's not like the newer engines that have a longer pad. There's not that much room for any more numbers on it. You can see by the pictures.
But how come I can't find any info for the CLY code?
Is there any other codes on the block that would point me in the right direction to what it came out of.
Even though the pad is small, the partial VIN would still be stamped there. Without the VIN there isn't anything else on the block to determine exactly what it is out of. If the VIN was there it would tell you where the final assembly was done, from that and the year you can find out what models were built at a particular plant.
Without the VIN, it likely wasn't installed in a new car, or someone decked it and restamped it wrong???
Something I just ran across states that starting in 1970 the partial VIN could be stamped on the front pad, above the oil filter, or somewhere on the bell housing flange.
If you find it in one of those locations, you can determine what car it came in, but not the specific engine specs.
Maybe someone will find something on the CLY code
cant find what the CLY stands for but this page may be usefull
Engine Suffix Stamping Codes Menu
yes but after 1978 they went to a small stamping pad so the motor not no 1970 in 1970 the stamping pad was larger! so i'd still say it's a 1980 block! you could call local chevy dealer they would be able to find out i've called them before on block stampings!
You might drive yourself crazy looking for the code, but why does it matter??, you know everything about the block that you need to know. It is 4" bore(from the 3970010 casting #), it is 4-bolt main(you have verified that visually), and you know what the heads are(casting #3927185, low performance). The basic shortblock in the 70's are all the same, only slight cam and head differences, very rarely forged cranks, and even more rarely forged pistons(70-73 performance engines).
No mystery here, you have a 4-bolt 350 block, what more is needed to know??
Are you hoping you have some "rare" Corvette block, which means nothing to anyone but a Corvette restorer because the 'Vette engine is no different than a truck engine, just different valve sizes and camshaft.
Possible if they had a pile of 010 blocks left over- they quit casting then in '79 or '80, so to be in an '81 (Dec. '80 cast date), it would be a left over.
OP- do you have a carb? If yes, find the carb number stamped onto the body. If the intake is there, see what the cast date is on it, too. If there were exhaust manifolds, were they rams horns or logs?
The deal w/that CLY suffix is prolly that the engine is from a 1-ton or larger truck. The bigger trucks are not very well represented in the casting info from Mor Tec, etc. That could also explain why it was a 4-bolt 2-bbl.
I'd like to see what valves were in the heads- could be those big, 3/8" exhaust stems and might also have 1.72 intakes if they are correct for that engine and it was a truck. :evil:
Big trucks can have steel cranks so you might want to take a look to see what the parting line looks like- thin = cast, wide = forged, or look for a casting number on it.
Thank you all for taking the time to help me out. I was just curious to know what type of motor I had. When I break down the motor I should know a little bit more.
Once again, Thanks
How do you read the date code on the back of the block? Do you read it from the back of the block looking toward the front or from the front look toward the back.
Front looking back
From the back looking forward
Also the markings on the intake manifold are 3927183 ( 2BBL Rochester) From the info that I found this should be from 1969 307 or 327
This is interesting I have this same code CLY never did find out what it came out of.It was in a 77 vette I picked up in 05 that sat for 16 years. I dropped the pan checked some of the bearings put a new oilpump and timing set. Yeah the nylon gear teeth were cracked and put a quadra jet on it. And have been driving the snot out of it ever since. Mine is 1978 two bolt main with 882 heads and a 2bbl carb. I questioned Mortec through an email they said I read it wrong.

JFK Library acquires 2,000 Hemingway letters
WASHINGTON — While most Americans have never seen Ernest Hemingway's home in Cuba where he wrote some of his most famous books, a set of 2,000 recently digitized records delivered to the United States will give scholars and the public a fuller view of the Nobel Prize-winning novelist's life.A private U.S. foundation is working with Cuba to preserve more of Hemingway's papers, books and belongings that have been kept at his home near Havana since he died in 1961. On Monday at the U.S. Capitol, U.S. Rep. James McGovern of Massachusetts and the Boston-based Finca Vigia Foundation announced that 2,000 digital copies of Hemingway papers and materials will be transferred to Boston's John F. Kennedy Library.This is the first time anyone in the U.S. has been able to examine these items from the writer's Cuban estate, Finca Vigia. The records include passports showing Hemingway's travels and letters commenting on such works as his 1954 Nobel Prize-winning "The Old Man and the Sea." An earlier digitization effort that opened 3,000 Hemingway files in 2008 uncovered fragments of manuscripts, including an alternate ending to "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and corrected proofs of "The Old Man and the Sea."...

Francisco Toro: What Fidel Taught Hugo
Francisco Toro is a Venezuelan journalist, political scientist and blogger. Born and raised in Caracas, he attended High School and College in the United States.Hugo Chávez died today in Venezuela at the age of 58, but his battle with a never-specified form of cancer was waged largely in a Cuban hospital—a telling detail, as Cuba loomed just as large in his political imagination as his native country.It's a point that my gringo friends up north always struggle with. The Cuban Revolution's immense influence on the region has been constantly underestimated and misunderstood from day one. It's only a slight exaggeration to suggest that everything of note that's happened south of the Rio Grande since 1959 has been an attempt either to emulate, prevent, or transcend the Cuban experience. Chávez will be remembered as the most successful of Fidel Castro's emulators, the man who breathed new life into the old revolutionary dream.

Re: Parts for a 700HP Cad500
I believe you could talk to Potter or MTS, or Flashcraft, for advice on what you want, since those folks have been there and done it. It may save you money to get their information.

What is the most unusual street corner in Tenleytown, Chevy Chase or Cleveland Park?
Where is the busiest corner in town? What neighborhood is made for the best people watching? Where does your favorite neighborhood character hang out? What street corner has your favorite hidden gem?
For the Post's Intersections project, which runs in print Thursdays in the local section, Post videographer A.J. Chavar and I are working to widen the breadth of neighborhoods featured in the Post. Each week, they venture to a different part of the city and report there for 90 minutes during the early evening. The goal is to glean a little bit of wisdom of the changing city through shoe-leather reporting. So far, we've observed the chasm between the euphoria at the Nats and the uncertainty of a neighborhood just steps away. We've met that violinist always playing in Georgetown. And we've gotten a sense of a community shaken to silence after seven people were shot on the corner of New York and North Capitol Streets NW.
In the next few weeks, there will be even more. By the time the project wraps up, the Post hopes to be able to build a map showing a telling tableau of the city, corner by corner, in words, photos and videos.
If you have a suggestion for a street corner that our team should head to next, leave a suggestion in the comments section below. Or you can send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com. I'm also on Twitter: @newsbysamuels (We'll give you a shout-out for the suggestion).
If you're on Instagram, we'd love to see your favorite intersection through your eyes. All you have to do is include the hashtag #dcintersection in your photo caption or comment to send your photos to us.
Using the hashtag means that you have permission to send them to us ( you took them) and that you allow us to use the photos on washingtonpost.com, on our social media accounts or in print. Here are some tips for using Instagram:
How do I start using Instagram?
To use Instagram, you must have a smartphone for Android or iOS. Download the app, and follow the on-screen instructions to set up an account and start snapping photos.
Reminder: Include #dcintersection in the caption. More questions about the app? Check out the Instagram FAQ.
What if I don't have a smartphone?
We recommend you check out The Washington Post's Your Photos gallery and upload your photos directly there.
Have you done this before?
We started off with #econdebate, our first experiment in using Instagram to visualize what the economy looks like across the country. That project has transformed in the larger 2012 Unfiltered. Seasonally, we have done #leafscape for fall and #springscape for spring.
Can I find The Post on Instagram?
Yes! We're @washingtonpost on Instagram. Follow us.

Okay, you may have heard that we're also upgrading to Roller for our blog engine. We're in the process of migrating all our existing blogs, blog entries, comments, categories, links, etc. all into Roller. Even with less than a hundred blogs, this is time-consuming.

Federated identities and online information
rawn 100000R0P5 Tags:  trust_models virtual_environments 2,283 Views
The notion that there are bits of information about us all over the Web has been a nagging feeling for many although theyre not quite sure how to deal with it. A few react to it with pride. Some people consider it as a minor issue with a reaction of needing to be careful but not in panic. Others more wary are who the insurance and financial companies are trying to target with new service offerings.
Kathy, our marketing leader, recently showed me a site that uses a combination of two Web 2.0 technologies, search and user identities, and it brought up not just a surprising collection of info but also a small shock and that old nagging feeling.
If you go to Zoominfo, youll find a whole new way to feed either your ego or paranoia, or even both. You can type in the name of any person or organization and it will search the Net for all the info it can where your name is published, most likely areas that do not require registration.
I came across only a handful of results mapping back to my name at previous jobs (LinuxWorld, RTD System & Networking, etc.), and automatically builds a new online profile about me. I could then register as a member and create a more detailed profile by editing it. In some ways, it builds on what LinkedIn is missing, that is, auto-filling in my information rather than entering it by hand.
Thats probably not as surprising as the other linkages it finds. For example, it does a lateral search of other people who have worked at these organizations to find my peers and coworkers. Youll probably be surprised who you remember and who you dont. It probably doesnt find info which requires you to enter an account and password but I have not explored this fully yet.
The core idea in this model is to build an online profile that can be reused. In Web 2.0 terms, you can then probably use this profile in other applications, sites, etc. in ways the dreamers, innovators, and entrepreneurs will figure out.
I dont know how the tool is implemented but my guess is that it involves one or more of the large search engines to perform the searching. This application focuses on conducting multiple sequential relevant searches and consolidating it under a common presentation, backed by registration and other tools.
This is an example of a federated identity but not in the sense of user-account identities and single-sign-on applications. It is federation around online information centered on your own real world identity, or at least your name.

Hi Ed, can you tell us a little bit more about Paddle and why you founded it?
Paddle is a mobile payments app for e-commerce transactions. New methods of payment seem to be launching everyday, however more often than not, these new products are more cumbersome than the processes they intend to replace.
My personal background has been heavily focused on using mobile, and specifically smartphone apps, to improve user experiences. Paddle takes that philosophy and applies it to online payments. Its sole purpose is to make the process of paying on the web and on mobile quicker and easier.
I founded the business based on observations that, compared to shopping in a physical store where no one has ever not completed a payment because it's too complicated, online transactions are often abandoned (or not even started) because of long, over-complicated forms. Paddle side-steps the whole form-based experience by storing customer's payment and delivery details so they are securely accessible via an app on their phone and uses these to complete payments in less than 10 seconds with a couple of taps.
By making payments easier, we hope consumers will be less frustrated and more inclined to make a purchase, thus increasing revenues for retailers.
What does an average day look like for you?
For the past couple of months I've been focused on the commercial side of the business. My background is as an engineer so this throws up new challenges for me every day.
We've got a really great team at Paddle and I make sure I stay involved in all of the day-to-day product decisions, but I'm in the fortunate position where I can now trust that team to continue making improvements and implementing new features while I step away from writing code every day.
My time is now split between meeting prospective retailers, working with customers who are adopting Paddle, talking to intellectual property lawyers, doing interviews with journalists and discussions with some of the biggest global payments powerhouses.
What are the biggest challenges to your job and how do you overcome them?
Bringing a new product to market always has challenges. Our biggest has been convincing established, and often conservative, organisations that a small, young startup can dramatically improve revenues of their online business. More recently I've had to switch technical expertise for more commercial ones, so learning a new skill set around those commercial goals has been a new and exciting challenge.
What first made you want to work in technology?
I did a computer science degree at Manchester University around the time the dot-com bubble was bursting. Living in rural Shropshire before university I was aware of the internet, but the subtleties of what was going on in the US passed me by. I just really liked programming computers to solve problems.
When I graduated I joined a startup based in Manchester where I was given a fantastic opportunity to not only write code, but also lead a small team, be responsible for product releases and go into the field and work in sales. The first three or four years of my career gave me such a breadth of experiences, all anchored by software engineering, that there was never a question of doing anything else.
Paddle is just over a year old now – what do you think is the key to a successful startup? What lessons have you learned?
When successful founders are asked this question the answer always includes some reference to building a strong team, but there's a good reason for that! Hiring the best possible app development team was my goal when I started Paddle and I've been fortunate to be able to do that. Hiring the right people is essential, especially when you're a startup and every pound counts. If you make a bad hire it can cost the company dearly, both in terms of finances and progress of the product or service in development.
The quality of the people behind Paddle is what makes us successful. That's not just the immediate team who work on the product, but also our investors and advisors. A startup is all about the people. That then defines the culture of the company, which in turn is apparent in the products that the company creates.
What in mobile development has got you excited at the moment?
I was fortunate enough to spend a week in San Francisco recently at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference. Spending that much time in the close proximity of some of the best app developers in the world is an energising experience. While the headlines from the conference were mainly focused on the updated user-interface to iOS, there were a couple of smaller announcements that attracted very little attention.
The most interesting for me was what Apple is calling 'iBeacons' – a Bluetooth based technology for very specific location based services. Rather than using GPS to locate a person in an absolute location, referenced by longitude and latitude, iBeacons allow an app to know when the user is in the proximity of an arbitrary point of interest. Apple gave the example of a museum app that would know which exhibit a visitor was standing in front of so it could provide details of the artwork.
Where do you see mobile payments in the future?
Because of the sheer number of mobile payment solutions emerging, it's inevitable we will see some fall by the wayside, while others will be consolidated. Ultimately though I think we have to reach the point where consumers are offered a single, coherent mobile payment product.
For mobile payments to become ubiquitous and replace plastic cards and even cash, it has to be easier to pay with mobile than not. That will largely come down to user experience and still requires further innovation.
I don't think it's unreasonable though, as a consumer, to expect to be able to make payments using the same mobile device in a physical retail location, peer-to-peer (send money to my friends) and online. At the moment each of these three channels are developing in isolation. As the market matures they must converge.

Oof. As the two hottest weeks of the year loom upon us, I hereby plan to become almost entirely nocturnal, only leaving my comfy dark basement once the sun has fallen. And then, boy howdy are we gonna have fun.
Or choose your own path and click here to search our entire events calendar.
Tuesday (Tonight):
Jugs McGee (my trivia team) will be back in action and ready to reclaim our title at KBGA's trivia night, and afterwards we'll gloat at the Badlander, where a buncha punk bands, including the ever-classy Buddy Jackson, are playing a free show.
(Or you could do something much more literate and attend James Lee Burke's reading of his latest mystery. Whatevs.)
Amy Leach reads from Things That Are at Shakespeare. It is a really neat book, if I say so myself. And oh look: I really did say so myself.
FARMAGGEDON STARTS TODAY. Calapatra is unequivocally excited for this. I know various scruffy, long-haired individuals who are going for the whole four days; unfortunately I did not plan ahead well enough to do so.
Lessee. There's also Wailin' Jennys at the Top Hat, if you're in an Americana mood, or Turkuaz, a 10-piece "power funk" band playing a free show at the Palace. I know where my boots are scootin'. (Sorry.)
Friday! Friday! Gotta get down on Friday!
Hee hee. So there's Slightly Stoopid and Atmosphere at Big Sky Amphitheater, and the Celtic Festival in Caras Park, and the zillionth Osprey game of the season (accurate counting, yes). You do you.
Scenic drives and beer! These things are not supposed to mix, but, well, here's the Bitterroot Microbrew Fest in Hamilton. Get a DD.
And if ye should return on time, Strangled Darlings and Birds Mile Home play the Palace. (Butter had to cancel.)
The KBGA End of Summer Family Fair sounds pretty fun, even as someone who only cares for a good-for-nothing cat. Hang out on campus, enjoy campus stuff without all the fuss of being a student. Win.

Planning to Work Remotely This Summer – You are Not Alone
In a recent study conducted by Cisco WebEx by Wakefield Research, small business owners will spend up to four weeks working remotely. They will do by using online tools and web collaboration to stay in touch and get the job done. The survey was conducted between June 6 and June 14, involving the owners of businesses with 100 or fewer employees.
Summer may be the time for vacations, but small business owners can't afford to be away from the office for long. To make the most of work and personal time, many plan to work remotely, on average, 18 days this summer, according to the survey of 500 U.S. small business owners.
One way to get it done is with a free basic account from WebEx.
15% say they intend to work remotely 36 days or more. While they weren't asked where they will be vacationing, it looks like access to the Internet is a trip prerequisite. Almost half of small business owners said they plan to work remotely for at least two weeks before the summer is out.
"Nearly half of the survey respondents say traditional, in-person meetings are becoming less relevant," said Glenn Bray, senior director, Cloud Collaboration Applications Technology Group, Cisco. "It's clear small business owners need to stay "connected" to the office , even during the summer vacation season, and so we've given them the tools to not only meet, but also easily and efficiently manage content relevant for those meetings wherever they happen to be."
Now it's your turn! Where are you working this summer?
We are sponsoring a contest! It's called "WebEx Mobile Fridays" and we are asking you to submit a photo and brief description of where you are and how you are using WebEx to get the job done this summer. Each week we will randomly select a winner and he or she will receive a $25 Amazon gift card. Click here to learn how to enter!Tags:

Hey I am happy for you as that's the one at the top of my revolver list too. I have had several many years ago but being young and dumb I sold them all. I'll be looking about the end of March. Good luck.
About a year and a half ago I acquired a Walther PPK/S-1 that I wanted
to use as my concealed carry weapon. I just could not get it to work
reliably. It would especially not fire my reloads. I got constant failures
to go into battery. So I gave up and sold it!
I am going back to my roots and get a revolver. I have ordered a Charter
.44 bulldog in stainless. I had an original blued Bulldog back in the 70's.
It was a great gun! Now, I wish I hadn't sold it!
Anyway, It feels so good to be looking for a new gun that I just had to
tell you all!
Hey I am happy for you as that's the one at the top of my revolver list too. I have had several many years ago but being young and dumb I sold them all. I'll be looking about the end of March. Good luck.
I had one of those original Bulldogs from Charter. It was a fine little gun and I divested myself of it before realizing just what the gun was. I was wanting a heavier .44 Special at the time. Always wished Charter had offered it in a 4" heavy barrel model.
On a lark once, I shot at some picnic plate sized targets at 100 yards with that little gun, and once I found the range, could hit them repeatedly. I had to hold the front sight base even with the top of the rear sight to do this.
Also, worked up a good load using .44 Russian brass and 225 gr. Speer hlaf jacket bullets. The shorter Russian case ejected more positively thant the longer .44 Special cases. These were the old REM-UMC .44 Russian cartridges left over from another gun.
Bob Wright
And, are the original walnut grips still available? All the Charter guns I have seen of late have those awful fake rubber grips on them.
Bob Wright
I see the original grips for Bulldogs for sale on Gunbroker from time to time.
I'm keeping my eyes open for a set of fancy wood grips that will fit my
small fingers! Preferably something in Rosewood.
However, I will try the rubber grips first before rejecting them out of hand,
so to speak. They might actually shoot better than they look!
I am REALLY looking forward to getting that gun!
After 20 some years I am once again the owner of a .44 spl. caliber
Charter Bulldog! This one is made of Stainless Steel, the first such that I
have owned. I just picked it up from the Gun Store in Las Cruces.
The double action pull feels OK, but the single action trigger pull is
terrible!. I'm going to have to fire it a few hundred times and re-evaluate
that trigger. It will most likely have to be tuned by a competent gun
Now I am looking forward to taking it to the range the first time!
The only "fly in the ointment" is the cost of the ammunition! WOW! I didn't
expect to have to pay a dollar a round for .44 special ammo.
It is certainly a good thing that I reload! Anyone have any 44 spl. brass
they don't need any more?
My .44 brass is as good as gold to me. I have M-21 that really enjoy shooting.
Good as Gold is Right!
I "gotta" find a supply of 44 special brass! The manufacturers must think
that stuff is Gold not brass.
I'll check with the "pro shop" at the gun club. Perhaps they can order me
a few boxes. Looks like I may have to "bite the bullet!" I see Starline brass
advertised for 20 cents a round.

Apostolic exhortation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An apostolic exhortation is a type of communication from the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. It encourages a community of people to undertake a particular activity but does not define Church doctrine. It is considered lower in formal authority than a papal encyclical, but higher than other ecclesiastical letters, Apostolic Letters and other papal writings.
Apostolic exhortations are commonly issued in response to an assembly of the Synod of Bishops, in which case they are known as post-synodal apostolic exhortations.

Neal Huntington Is the Runner Up For Executive of the Year
The Sporting News named their 2013 MLB Executive of the Year tonight, giving the award to Boston Red Sox General Manager Ben Cherington. Pittsburgh Pirates General Manager Neal Huntington finished second in the vote, losing 15 to 9. Dayton Moore finished in third with four votes, which means there are four people who have never heard of Wil Myers. Frank Wren finished fourth with three votes.
The "worst to first" narrative is largely why Cherington won. The Sporting News lists his accomplishments as:
**Salary dumping Josh Beckett, Adrian Gonzalez, and Carl Crawford
**Firing Bobby Valentine and hiring John Farrell
**"Opted against making a big splash" last off-season, instead signing Mike Napoli, Stephen Drew, Shane Victorino, and Koji Uehara
A lot of these are dubious claims....

Some time ago, prominent atheist (and ex-Christian minister) John Loftus and I had a bit of a disagreement about the best way to debate Christians. Loftus said then that critics should wait to draw conclusions until he had the full list of questions posted. They're up.I've posted the list below with some comments interpolated in bold. If you want me to expand on one, say so in the comments, but I can only comment to a point, since I don't know what kind of evidence either side is planning … [Read more...]
John Loftus reveals his Questions for Christians
Loftus responds to my critique.
Since he explained why he would not be replying again on the comment thread at Debunking Christianity, I figured I would cross-post it here, so as not to leave anyone in suspense.Loftus wrote: Leah, I'm not interested. I don't know who you are. I don't care to discuss strategy online when this scholar is reading what we write. And I don't care to discuss whose questions are better. I know what I'm doing. That scholar agrees.Leah, had you said what you would ask and told us why there … [Read more...]
My Problem with Loftus (Part 1)
I've been engaged in a back and forth with John Loftus over his proposed questions for a Christian interlocutor, and I think we've both ended up a little frustrated. Therefore, I want to take a moment to explain in more detail why I disagree with Loftus's methods and questions, and why I'm not inclined to just let them lie as a difference of opinions.I still think Loftus's choice to focus his questions on nitpicks for biblical literalists is problematic, and complaint isn't resolved by the fa … [Read more...]

UPDATE: I've taken a second look at the language I used at the end of this post and revised it. The revision and the reason are now present at the end of the post.There's an update on John Loftus's book of debates with a Christian scholar (I mentioned it before when he was soliciting possible topics on Debunking Christianity).

I had previously mentioned that a Christian scholar and myself are co-writing a book. We've just made it out of the planning stage.

Won me over on the 2nd try!
Initially, I wasn't sold on this palette, there were no reviews when I bought it, so I was flying blind where baked eyeshadows were concerned. I tried to brush the eyeshadow on as I normally would & I got next to no product from any of the colours. There were no product instructions to indicate that baked eyeshadows should be used any differently to other eyeshadows, so I had no idea what I was doing wrong, but by now there was feedback from others suggesting they should be used wet. I wasn't 100% convinced, but they did seem to work wet - The big surprise was that once I'd wiped the palette down & let it dry, the very next time I used it, the colours worked perfectly well DRY! I figured there must've been some kind of film on the surface of the colours to protect them, because I bought 2 different palettes in this range & they both reacted the same way when new & once they'd been wiped down, the colours could be used both dry & wet. There is plenty of pigment in the eyeshadows, they go on nice & soft - even softer than the regular range, there's a pearlised lustre thru them & the enclosed mirror is quite a reasonable size. All in all, I think they're great. I'm going to buy the final palettes in the range too, but I've only given 4 stars because of a little bit of fallout & also I think they ought to put some kind of instructions or explanation on the packaging - my 2 palettes came quite close to being returned until I stumbled across a solution to make them work.
