Featured Business
About two-thirds of the shop's walls are filled with frame moldings in a vast array of colors, sizes and finishes. The remaining walls have pre-framed art, ready to take home. Wire-frame bins hold unframed art for sale. "We don't take consignments," explains Chip. "We have to like it enough to buy it. Artists do sometimes come by with work for sale, and occasionally we buy that, but most of it comes from artists' representatives." They have built up a network of art suppliers from their many years in the framing business, and from their previous experience as art brokers.
Bradshaw Framing and Gallery was one of the first tenants in the Peterkort Towne Square at Cedar Hills Blvd. and Barnes. Rd., opening their doors in 1995. "We actually had the second signed lease in the center," Amy recalls. "The anchor tenant, Albertsons, was the first. Our plan was that all around us were fields that we hoped would fill quickly with new homes with a lot of bare walls. They did, and all the fields are nearly gone. We were lucky enough to be able to fill a lot of walls!"
The couple met in Cedar Mill in 1985. Chip, who grew up here, was an inventory manager at Leupold & Stevens, a Beaverton company that makes optical equipment such as rifle scopes and binoculars. Amy worked as a paralegal for a prominent criminal defense law firm in Portland. They married in five years later.
About a year after they married, they started their first frame shop, Prestige Framing in Tigard. "We had a partner who had been working in the industry. He wanted to start his own business, but didn't want to do it alone. A year later we decided we loved the business, but didn't want a partner. By this time we had opened a second store in Wilsonville. Chip and I sold our interest in Prestige Framing and incorporated as Bradshaw Frame & Gallery. We kept the Wilsonville location and our former partner kept the Tigard location and the business name."
She continues, "We closed down the Wilsonville store in about 2002. Back in 1998, Chip and I had bought a ten-acre farm out north of North Plains, and the drive was getting a bit much, commuting to Wilsonville. Our lease was up out there, and the Wilsonville Town Center wanted more of a lease than we were prepared to commit to. Also, it was difficult to control the quality of our work with both locations, since we had a number of employees, and we didn't want to lose that great quality of work that we produced."
|Tim, Amy and Chip
They still live on the farm near North Plains, and that's where the frames are built. They have one employee, Tim Shroyer. He started working for them as a teenager, doing odd jobs around the property. They have a large pole-building where they keep the molding inventory, and Tim cuts and joins the molding into frames for customer orders. "He also does some delivery work and other tasks as required," Amy notes. "He's been with us for over 12 years now and is the closest thing we have to a son. He was home-schooled and lives out near us. His flexible hours were perfect for us. When he was done with high school, we helped him through more education, and he is now also a great hair stylist and works at a salon in the Pearl. He works for us two days a week and works four days a week as a stylist."
Projects are assembled in the back room of the shop. They use a computer-controlled mat cutting machine that turns out perfectly-sized and beveled mats every time. It also has the capability of making some fancy corners like the ones in the Blazer jersey, right.
They keep abreast of new products by attending trade shows in Seattle, New York, and Las Vegas. Amy says, "We also have great local and regional reps that call on us frequently." Many of the molding products are made in America, others come from Europe, and Italy in particular. The inventory turns over regularly—Amy says the life of molding is about two years.
|Their digital mat cutter can easily create fancy corners like these. They have Blazer items for sale in the shop.
They have a very diverse group of customers. They do a lot of work for sports companies, from teams like the Blazers, to sports memorabilia dealers like Pacific NW Sports in Seattle. They have become experts in "shadowbox framing" items like jerseys, hats, ticket stubs, photos, pins, awards, marathon medals, or other keepsakes. They can turn a pile of "stuff" into an attractive and interesting object that will not only be durable but will enhance a home or office.
"Clients bring us the darndest things. We like a good challenge." Amy laughs, "No, it wasn't our idea to frame the piranha skulls from someone's honeymoon, or carved whale bones." They learned by doing, and are now well-known for being able to handle just about anything.
Their website notes, "Mechanical engineering firms have had us frame their inventions— everything from radial arm saws to teeny tiny pieces of medical equipment. We've framed other objects such as firearms, antique tools, baby shoes, seashells, jewelry, watches, record albums, knives, flags, chunks of cement—you name it and we've probably framed it. There is always a really good story behind the object being framed and we love hearing your stories. We'll take the time to figure out the best way to display your treasures."
Artists bring their work in for gallery shows and sales. "Generally, they choose more neutral frames," Amy says, "because they want the framed piece to work in lots of environments and be easier to sell."
Interior designers make up a sizeable portion of their client list. Amy enjoys working with them, and is a member of several designer groups, both for networking and to keep up on styles and trends. She also belongs to The Portland Executives, a business group that has a weekly luncheon meetings. "It's a 90+ year-old group with members such as US Bank, Portland Trail Blazers, Parr Lumber, and many others. One of our goals is to support each other and make us better business people," she explains.
That's just one of the ways that the Bradshaws market their company. In addition to advertising in the News, they just refurbished their website, bradshawgallery.net, with the help of a team of professionals that includes "an SEO guy (online search specialist), a coder, and a graphics person. I am at the beginning of a social media marketing program, wish me luck!" The site was designed using WordPress, so she's able to update it. She's blogging about her experiences and philosophy, and sharing her expertise. You can sign up on the website or "like" her Facebook page.
|Amy helps a walk-in customer choose materials to re-frame a favorite piece of art.
They also make use of direct marketing through their customer database. But word-of-mouth, and "location-location-location," are also very important. As I was interviewing them for this article, a utility repairman came in with a picture he wanted reframed. He had been working in the area, and noticed the store, and came back with his piece. "We've been very happy with this location. The Peterkorts have been great landlords," says Amy, "and they've also given us a lot of business through referrals and art for their offices."
Amy and Chip both credit their success to customer service. Amy says that her previous work in the legal field had, "nothing to do with art or framing, but it did teach me to take my work very seriously and not make mistakes. Nobody is going to go to jail if we don't get a framing order done on time, but we try to run the place as if it is that critical. We think it results in some really good customer service. In nearly 23 years we've learned so much about picture framing and art."
Although they consider their products to be great gifts—framed artwork, family memorabilia in a shadowbox, or a gift certificate—they say that their busy season is usually after the holidays, when people take down all the decorations, and it's gray outside for so long. "They're ready to bring some color into their homes," says Amy.
If a customer requests it, Amy will visit with them in their home to help choose the right art or framing selections, at no extra cost. "It's nice to see the space and get a feel for the rest of the home and the people that live there. It's also really nice to be able to measure things myself."
They enjoy life on their farm, and have chickens and an extensive vegetable garden. This year they grew 48 tomato plants and a large patch of corn. A few years ago they were given about 300 rose bushes that were otherwise going to be thrown out. They planted them in formal rose beds and enjoyed them for several years before they got to be too much work. Amy said one day she came home and, "found that Chip had tilled that land up for the vegetable garden! And we're very glad we did."
They really like doing business in Cedar Mill. Chip grew up here, which is part of why the Peterkort location was a good fit. "The people have strong family values, and many of them have families that go back several generations. The education and income level is good for our business because there are a lot of people who appreciate art and can afford to create a beautiful environment." But even if you're not wealthy, they can help you preserve your investment in the art you own or help you find something new to bring some joy into your home.
The shop is located in Peterkort Town Square west of Albertson's, next to the Hallmark store, at 1120 SW Barnes Rd. They're open Monday-Friday. 10-6, Saturday 10-5, and Sunday by appointment. Call them at 503-644-5496 or visit the website at bradshawgallery.net.

South Florida Foodies: Looking For a Foodgasm at Tudor House
Photo by Christina Staalstrom
Secret supper clubs, underground dining groups, hidden kitchen groupies -- whatever you choose to call them, private dining clubs are popping up all over South Florida. And they're enticing food-obsessed diners who share a common passion -- the search for the ultimate foodgasm. This is what led Maude Eaton to start the South Florida Foodies. A chef by training, Maude is a food and beverage consultant whose love of comida flavors both her professional and personal lives.
On a recent hot and steamy afternoon, Short Order was invited to join Maude as she sat down with Chef Jamie DeRosa and his team at the newly opened Tudor House to discuss their plans for the group's next dining experience.

"I approach each venue individually to make sure we showcase the location, the food, and, most importantly, connect with the chef," Maude says, then goes on to explain her family-style dinner approach, which allows guests to try small bites of several dishes and encourages conversation. "In the end of the day it's about bringing people together around the table."
DeRosa is not convinced -- after all, none of his dishes are made for family-style dining. But with Maude's big brown eyes and a flash of her winning smile, even he's a convert to the Maude method.

The two dance their way through the menu, pens in hand, making sure not to step on each other's toes while still staying true to their individual messages. "I'd like to serve the chilled octopus -- it's wonderful. But it needs to be presented individually," says DeRosa.

When it comes time for desserts, pastry chef Natalia Arevalo chimes in and wants to present a cornucopia of flavors. Here DeRosa and Maude reign her in settling on a delightful threesome that lets her shine.

After two hours of talking about food, we are ready for our tasting and the plates descend upon us -- one more flavorful and enticing than the next. A little bit of this, a lot of that. We enjoy all the flavors without feeling overwhelmed -- gotta love the Maude method.

Well although it is possible for the arp poison to still be apparent after a while. Im not sure it would be after 3 weeks, the arp cache should have been flushed and repopulated by then.
Some dude who's an intern at my school, performed a mitm attack with arp poison on our school's network. Now suddenly his laptop crashed and shutted down. He wasnt able to successfully shut down ettercap and since then, the network acted crazy for like 3 weeks how is this possible that an arp poison causes trouble for 3 weeks, but he only ran the program for 5 minutes?
Well although it is possible for the arp poison to still be apparent after a while. Im not sure it would be after 3 weeks, the arp cache should have been flushed and repopulated by then.
We manually cleared the arp table on every router, but it got poisoned over and over again with the same mac address that hasn't been online since the 2nd day of the problem. We also pulled the plugg from some switches but not from the routers that would have fixed the problem but we didnt get the permission to do that.
An arp storm could theoretically last indefinitely, though there would have to be some serious misconfigurations and flaws in the various networking hardware for it to happen - something to get the routing team to look into.
Assuming it is still happening right now, I recommend you schedule some downtime on all the servers for an afternoon, and cite the problem (and the causer), then just shut down the switches and routers for a couple of seconds.
Or, you could just block that Mac address. It's a crappy problem solver, but if it works.
Still not underestimating the power...
There is no such thing as bad information - There is truth in the data, so you sift it all, even the crap stuff.
(oohhh, first post)
Are you sure that the MAC address is actually from his laptop and some other person hasn't executed something similar on the network.
If you've cleared cache on all routers etc, and the MAC keeps coming back, you could possibly assume that this particular computer is active on the network. You could try tracking the MAC back to a switch port etc to find it.
Yes, I am sure it was his MAC.
We have tried tracking the MAC address, but it was his laptop, and his laptop hasnt been online since he performed the attack.
The problem is solved now by unplugging all power cords from every router. We know now that the network is poorly secured, is there any way to make the network arp-poison secure?

John Elway would want Tim Tebow to marry his daughter. He just doesn't want him to quarterback his team.
Is Elway's thinking in sync with a lot of teams or will Tebow find another starting job?
TIM TEBOW: The clock is striking midnight in Denver
COLUMN: The pros and cons of Tim Tebow
The NFL drumbeat says two teams in Tebow's home state -- Jacksonville and Miami -- are among the suitors for the quarterback along with Green Bay and the New York Jets. You might even throw in New England.
If you do the math, 60% of those teams have entrenched quarterbacks and Tebow would be back on the sidelines.
Some believe he still has a big learning curve (completing 46.2% of his passes) and others point to him rallying the Broncos and being a playoff winner.
Almost no one would argue that Tebow isn't a very good to great football player. And more than one analyst has suggested at 6-2, 236 he should switch positions.
Should Tebow give up the hope of being a starting quarterback?
While we wait for the depth chart to be posted, here is some good work by some good people that we might have missed while sleeping or wondering if any team can challenge the Baylor women.

Durban Point Waterfront
The Durban Point initiative is not just an attempt to extend the city fabric in a canal way, nor is it intended to transform the area into an extended tourist resort. Rather, Durban Point Waterfront will become an important, well-defined and exciting addition to the city and a sought after place to live, work and play. A range of activities will be accommodated in a mixed-use environment, containing a host of urban functions and reflecting a true urban place with 24-hour activity. Durban Point Waterfront is one of the most exciting and significant property development projects Durban has seen for decades.

One fundamental observation in cancer etiology is that the rate of malignancies in any mammalian population increases exponentially as a function of age, suggesting a mechanistic link between the cellular processes governing longevity and carcinogenesis. In addition, it is well established that aberrations in mitochondrial metabolism, as measured by increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), are observed in both aging and cancer. In this regard, genes that impact upon longevity have recently been characterized in
Mammalian cells express proteins that protect against endogenous and exogenous forms of genotoxic stresses that induce genomic instability [
Genomic instability, a hallmark of cancer, is thought to be an early event in neoplastic transformation induced by genotoxic agents [
Mitochondria may also contain specific fidelity proteins that sense organelle conditions and activate signaling pathways to maintain mitochondrial homeostatic poise [
Sirtuins are NAD+ dependent class III histone deacetylases which are present from bacteria to humans [
In lower organisms, sir2 plays a role in longevity by enhancing multiple mechanisms including but not limited to silencing of telomeres and sub-telomeric regions, silent mating type loci, and, crucially, the rDNA, suppressing formation of rDNA circles [
Sirtuin activity can be increased in response to metabolic, genotoxic, oxidative, and osmotic stresses. These stress responses appear to link to aging [
Sirtuins, including the mitochondrial sirtuin Sirt3, appear to respond to changes in cellular and nutrient stress resulting in the activation of their deacetylase or ribosyltransferase activity resulting in a post-translational modification of downstream target proteins [
The sirtuins appear to play a central role, at least in part, in regulating the cellular acetylome responding to endogenous and exogenous cell stress and nutrient distress [
In this regard lysine acetylation has recently emerged as an important, and perhaps the primary, post-translational modification employed to regulate mitochondrial proteins [
Sirt3 is the primary mitochondrial deacetylase and genetic knockout of Sirt3 alter mitochondrial protein acetylation [
Since the rate of malignancies increases significantly as a function of age, several reports have suggested a potential mechanistic link between the cellular process governing longevity and the development of cancers [
Sirt3 appears to be the primary mitochondrial deacetylase it has been proposed that Sirt3 may function as a mitochondrial fidelity gene [
Sirt3 is the mitochondrial matrix protein that is present in high amount in mouse kidney, heart, liver, and brown adipose tissues. Mice lacking
In this regard, Sirt3 was reported to protect cells against ROS by enhancing the activity of antioxidant defense system, suggesting that this protein could be a crucial mitochondrial fidelity protein in response to oxidative stress [
In this regard,
While our work [
A more convincing argument for the role of aberrant mitochondrial superoxide levels in cells lacking Sirt3 was shown using duel infection experiments with lentivirus expressing MnSOD. MnSOD is the primary superoxide detoxification enzyme that converts superoxide to hydrogen peroxide that is finally converted to water by catalase [
While this work, as well as that recently published from the Guarente and Haigis laboratories [
One final question is how aberrant regulation of the mitochondrial acetylome, results in spontaneous, stress-induced genomic instability and can loss of proteins other than Sir3 result in spontaneous genomic instability [
Our results also suggest that increased mitochondrial superoxide levels, which exceed the ability of MnSOD to detoxify superoxide, may escape the mitochondria and subsequently increase both the cytoplasmic and nuclear superoxide levels. However, this idea is controversial since many researchers believe that superoxide cannot move out of the mitochondria. Thus, can superoxide generated in mitochondria enter the cytosol via passage through voltage dependent or independent channels in the mitochondrial membranes causing alterations in redox signaling in the cytosol, potentially contributing to genomic instability in the nucleus? The evidence supporting this hypothesis is mostly indirect using anion channel blockers such as DIDS (4,4′-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2′-disulfonate) [
One fundamental observation in eukaryotic biology is that mammalian cells contain fidelity proteins that function to monitor the integrity of critical intracellular processes, and deletion or mutation of the corresponding genes results in a cellular environment permissive for the accumulation of damage [

Proposed model describing Sirt3 acetylation and subsequent regulation of downstream target proteins enzymatic activity. Sirt3 is localized into the inner mitochondrial membrane and appears to be activated by agents that induce oxidative stress and respond to aberrant or increased mitochondrial levels of superoxide. Sirt3 has been shown to regulate the activity of other mitochondrial proteins including acetyl-CoA synthetase [

AT LEAST a thousand children left traumatised after witnessing domestic violence in Melbourne each year are missing out on specialist counselling because of funding shortfalls.
Family violence agencies say lack of state funding for counselling means the youngest victims of abuse may be left with long-term damage and the risk of potentially repeating the abuse.
It follows revelations in The Age yesterday that agencies were facing a crisis, with improved police reporting of incidents not being met with proportional government funding and leaving agencies unable to cope with the spike.
Several agencies have confirmed shortfalls are affecting how many children they can help. Women's Health West said that in 2009-10, the last year for which Victoria Police data on the number of children present at family violence incidents is available, 3150 children in Melbourne's west saw family violence.
Chief Robyn Gregory said research showed about 20 per cent of these children, or 630, would be left with post-traumatic stress disorder and many others may suffer as a result of what they saw.
But she said the agency, which is the lead service agency in the west and the only family violence-specific children's counselling service, had government funding for only 1.6 full-time positions and was able to offer its specialist counselling service to only 86 of these children.
Since then the number of police reports to the service has almost doubled from 1600 to 3000, while funding for counselling had been cut back to 1.5 positions this year.
Dr Gregory said this meant hundreds of psychologically damaged children, if not more, would miss out on specialist treatment to help them recover from the trauma of watching their father assault their mother.
In Melbourne's north, lead agency Berry Street is funded for just 0.9 full-time counselling positions this year but had about 3600 police referrals last financial year.
Senior manager Gayle Correnti said hundreds of children each year were not offered its specialist counselling services.
She said it was often a matter of luck and timing that decided who was accepted and who was not and that the funding shortfall left children with a much higher risk of developing a range of problems and potentially repeating the abuse themselves.
The Eastern Domestic Violence Service's Maryclare Machen also confirmed that with more funding hundreds more children could receive support there.
Opposition crime prevention spokeswoman Jill Hennessy said children who see domestic violence were among the most vulnerable victims of crime but the Baillieu government was failing to support them.

ATLANTA -- Diet Coke outsold Pepsi cola in the U.S. for the first time in 2010, making the diet soda the No. 2 carbonated soft drink in the country behind Coca-Cola.
Coca-Cola sold nearly 927 million cases of its diet soda in 2010, compared with Pepsi's 892 million, according to Beverage Digest data released mid-March. Diet Coke was nearly neck in neck with Pepsi a year earlier. Regular Coke held its longstanding lead in 2010 at 1.6 billion cases.
Soft-drink sales have fallen for the past six consecutive years, hit by the recession and by the growing trend of consumers seeking healthier alternatives. Indicative of the trend is that diet sodas have been gaining a larger piece of the pie. Ten years ago, only two of the top 10 sodas were sugar-free. Now, four are on the list: the diet versions of Coke, Pepsi, Mountain Dew and Dr Pepper.
While both Diet Coke and Pepsi sales were down in 2010, the decline was more pronounced for Pepsi. Coca-Cola Co. sold 0.5% less soda in 2010 and PepsiCo sales fell 2.6%.
The top 10 sodas in the U.S. in order of popularity, according to Beverage Digest, are Coke, Diet Coke, Pepsi-Cola, Mountain Dew, Dr Pepper, Sprite, Diet Pepsi, Diet Mountain Dew, Diet Dr Pepper and Fanta.

For his players, it likely became real about the 100th time a media member in the Windy City at the Big Ten Media Days asked about their new home.
The schedule confirms it is real, though – Maryland and Rutgers are in the Big Ten. More than that, the two East Coast schools are in the league's East Division, meaning they'll be on the Ohio State football schedule every year for the foreseeable future.
In other words, get used to the Maryland flag battling for stylistic supremacy with Ohio's pennant and the Scarlet Knight roaming the sideline at Ohio Stadium. And get used to road trips to College Park and Piscataway every other year as well.
Not much across Big Ten country might be known about the two new schools, which went a respective 7-6 (Maryland) and 6-7 (Rutgers) a year ago. That's why the annual media confab in Chicago was a chance for the coaches and players to introduce themselves to the conference, and each certainly took the chance.
For Maryland – a state, after all, that does crabcakes and football – that meant bringing the boisterous state flag into the fray. The black, red, yellow and white banner – the only U.S. flag based on English heraldry, as it is the banner of George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore – is the inspiration for the school's Under Armour uniforms designed by company CEO and football program alum Kevin Plank.
"The fact that the guy who designs them was a former player – not even that he went to the school but he's been through what we go through on a daily basis, that means so much," cornerback Jeremiah Johnson said. "The fact that he takes the time out to make sure that we're wearing something that is representing the state we're from, it means a lot, man."
Maryland also brings a solid football tradition that includes a national championship in 1953 as well as eight ACC titles, the last in 2001 under Ralph Friedgen. "The Fridge," as many knew the portly mentor, oversaw that years Orange Bowl appearance and took the Terrapins to seven bowls in 10 years before surprisingly being fired after going 9-4 in 2010.
His replacement, Randy Edsall, was just 2-10 his first year as injuries and turmoil beset the team, but he improved the mark to four wins in his second campaign and seven last year.
The state also boasts some of the top football talent on the East Coast, as evidenced by Diggs, a five-star wideout two years ago from Gaithersburg, Md., who chose to stay home despite being wooed by Ohio State, among others.
"There's a lot of state pride," he said. "If you're from Maryland, you know what it feels like. If you're not from Maryland, you won't know."
This year, Maryland has not been picked by many to contend for a Big Ten title, but the team does return its starting quarterback, its top running back, three exciting receivers and its top five tacklers from a season ago.
"Maryland is going to fight," Johnson said. "Every minute of the game, regardless of the score, we're coming in with a chip on our shoulder. We think people doubt us, but we know how good we can be. We're self motivated and we have a lot of pride."
Then there's Rutgers, a school that enters Big Ten play without much of a distinguished history on the gridiron. The Scarlet Knights became Division I independents in 1976 and joined the Big East in 1991 but their history is generally one of losing, as Rutgers never topped seven wins in a season upon joining the league until Greg Schiano's 2006 team went 11-2 and romped over Kansas State in the Texas Bowl.
Kyle Flood's first squad in 2012 shared the league title as well, and Rutgers has eight bowl appearances in the last 10 seasons after just one before that. However, last year's 6-7 mark has many expecting the team to finish last in the Big Ten East Division.
But the players on the team have one word to describe their outfit, and it's an adjective that is common to the state of New Jersey.
"We're tough, we're relentless and we have a lot of heart," undersized D-tackle Darius Hamilton said.
"We may be small but we're tough and tenacious," safety Lorenzo Waters said.
"You can definitely expect a tough football team when we come to play," fullback Michael Burton said.
Whether that will be enough to win in a division that includes traditional powers Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State as well as defending Rose Bowl champ Michigan State remains to be seen, but that's the team Flood will bring to the table.
"We've been to several bowls the last several years," Burton said. "We've grown so much as a program, our facilities and things like that, academically and athletically, and to be able to become a part of this new conference, such a prestigious conference, it's an awesome opportunity and we're all excited about it."
Ohio State will play at Maryland on Oct. 4 and host Rutgers on Oct. 18 this year.

Are shorts acceptable in the office? They can't be right – right?
Every man, everywhere
I'll be honest, I'm amazed that this is even still an issue for so many men. I had assumed this was all resolved in 2007 at the absolute latest when a pair of navy shorts worn with a smart button-down shirt and a nifty little belt was pretty much the uniform in the front row of the menswear shows, which were my beat then. (I've always wanted to describe something as "my beat". Now I just need a porkpie hat with a little card saying "press" stuck in the rim and to call my cigar-chomping boss "chief" and all of my teenage dreams about being a journalist will be realised.) But then, that's because I've been living on Planet Fashion, not Planet Earth where the scruffy folk dwell, and I was reminded of the crucial differences between the two just last month when I happened upon the Guardian's Over by Over blog (it is on the sports section of the website, fashion friends. I know, I know, but sometimes we have to venture into enemy territory, if only to see how the others live). A debate thrummed on that blog, lasting an entire day, arguably overpowering the discussion of cricket itself at times, about whether men are allowed to wear shorts in the office.
I have not a blessed clue what was going on with the cricket, but I can tell you that those cricket fans had more rules and ideas about the wearing of shorts than the whole of the Vogue office times 10.
It was then that I knew it was time, time for me to return from Planet Fashion and head back to Planet Earth to convey the sacred messages from the voices on high. No, I wouldn't say I'm fashion's Jesus Christ, coming down to Earth to spread the holy word, but it is sweet of you to make that comparison. Let's just say I'm Christ-like and leave it at that.
You really do make things very difficult for yourselves sometimes, don't you? Maybe it's because the majority of you don't get the same kind of exposure to fashion with which women are bombarded. Maybe it's because you have fewer ways to have fun with fashion so you invent more rules for the little you have. Whatever your reasoning, all I know is that I have never encountered a demographic more rigid about (read: scared of) fashion than men who claim to have no interest in fashion, and I spent eight years as a fashion journalist.
Chaps, it really isn't very complicated. Trust yourselves. If something looks good, then it's right. Stop second-guessing so much. A good pair of shorts on a man – not too scruffy, not too short – looks great. Worn with the aforementioned smart shirt and belt and, dude, you have got it going ON.
What doesn't work, ever, is when people attempt to make a safe compromise and the safe compromise so many men attempt to make with shorts is, of course, the dreaded three-quarter-length trouser. Try as I might, I can hardly fathom the mindset of a man who thinks that while shorts are a bit de trop, three-quarter-length trousers are the business. They don't make you look jaunty, or rakish, or nautical, or whatever the sales assistant told you, they make you look like a three-year-old who has outgrown his dungarees. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. And most of all, your boss knows it. No boss wants a wishy-washy sort of worker who doesn't trust his own judgment and therefore goes for milky, half-assed measures. A boss wants a worker who knows his own mind and goes for it, convention be damned. A boss wants a worker who wears shorts.
So put on a pair of shorts, dammit! The difference between a long pair of shorts and cropped pair of trousers maybe a matter of a few inches, but the difference in effect is miles. I'll make this very easy for you: stand in front of a mirror, wearing a pair of knee-length shorts. Pretty dashing, yes? Now stand in front of a mirror wearing a pair of cropped trousers: is that a grown man or a CBBC TV presenter? Who can tell?
To sum up, this is what I have to say on the subject: shorts are great, three-quarter-length trousers are whack and cricket fans are fashion fascists. I think we all learned something today, no?

Pub crawl
There's a lot to be said for walking and slightly more to be said for drinking. So to avoid any argument, Time Out put the two together to create the perfect bank holiday activity: bar trekking. Time Out guides you along four beer-oriented capital walks:
Walk to Kew Green
Distance four miles
Pub count seven
Start at Isleworth railway station (trains from Waterloo or Clapham Junction), turn right out of the entrance and right again into Linkfield Road under the rail bridge. The Red Lion (1) is a few minutes walk down on the left – a huge rambling building with an eclectic, partly tiled exterior, with two large rooms, each with a range of drinking areas, serving Young's bitter and guest beers.
Leaving the Red Lion, continue down to the end of Linkfield Road. Turn right, and almost immediately turn left by the river bridge into the ancient route of Mill Plat, which is now a pedestrian-only alleyway. Pass the Ingram Almshouses, a terrace of homes built in 1664 by Sir Thomas Ingram, and emerge by the site of the old mill in old Isleworth village. Go left here through the old village street down to the London Apprentice (2). This large and attractive Georgian pub takes its name from the City livery company apprentices, who occasionally rowed up on their days off and stopped here. The riverside setting is a charming place to drink beer, which is from Fuller's and Courage.
Just along the riverside, past the church, the Thames Path is well signposted as it turns right into Syon Park. Walk up the roadway past the Butterfly House and through the park. The Thames Path emerges on the busy A315 just west of Brentford High Street. Turn right, pass two or three pubs and the Grand Union Canal bridge, before reaching the Magpie & Crown (3). There are usually four regularly changing beers on tap and it is a source of pride to the pub that more than 1,500 beers have been sold here since 1996. In addition to the real ales, the pub sells foreign beers, some on draught, plus cider and perry.
Continue east along the High Street for a short while then, before the traffic lights, turn right down Catherine Wheel Road. Just when you think you've strayed in error upon a tormented landscape of commercial premises, you come unexpectedly upon the Brewery Tap (4). This is yet another Fuller's house, whose name refers to a long-defunct brewery, and it retains some vestige of its former multi-roomed layout. It's a community local that combines good beer with varied food.
Upon leaving, a narrow path opposite leads across a creek to the Grand Union Canal. Climb back up to the bridge. Turn left on to the cobbled street, which brings you back to the dismal main road by the supermarket. The Thames Path turns right and drops back to the river, finally emerging at Kew Bridge. Follow the signs carefully.
Across the road ahead, right on the busy interchange, is the Express Tavern (5). Here, you'll find well-kept beers in a tastefully decorated pub. Although greatly remodelled, its past character persists. The rear room, with 1930s features, is particularly handsome. Refreshment courtesy of Young's and Draught Bass (the latter is long established here – note the dinky pump clip) and there are usually one or two guest beers, too. Food is only available at lunchtimes. Be aware that the Express closes in the afternoon, so if you arrive during the interregnum, it's best to go ahead to the other pubs on this walk, and return here later.
From the Express Tavern, cross the bridge and walk down the main road to Kew Green. This is the centre of the old village but is now riven in two by the nasty South Circular road. Here, set back a little from the road, is the Coach & Horses (6), an upmarket Young's hotel. Inside, there's a spacious L-shaped bar, traditionally panelled, with an adjacent room on the left, set aside as a restaurant with fish specialities. Outside there's a big garden.
To finish this long but hopefully rewarding trail, turn left out of the Coach & Horses and stroll up Kew Road on the right past the traffic lights. At the next set of lights turn left, past the line of trendy cafés and boutiques, to the Inn at Kew Gardens (7). Formerly the Kew Gardens Hotel, this was acquired by the Capital Pub Company in 2004 and has been taken firmly upmarket. Nonetheless, despite an emphasis on food and wine, there are six handpumps and a good variety of well-kept beers from some of the larger brewers. The handsome exterior with its columned entrance portico is complemented by a bright and spacious interior that says 'aspiring gastropub', a statement backed up by the presence of sofas and the odd three-wheeled buggy in the public bar. Return to Kew Gardens station for services to Clapham Junction and central London via Richmond.

Well prior to 2007 most phones couldn't even do that without issues so it's all subjective to what the person considers high performance. Some think a mustang is high performance some think a Bugatti is high performance. Either way its still pretty cheap to charge this phone, lol.
So I guess my Home Cinema is using about $80 a year then. :/
iPhones > gs3
It saves you 12 cents a year!:P I don't even know if that's right. Haha I am an apple fanboy but if you aren't buying cases etc. online but instead at stores a gs3 will save you a lot more money..
Also this years smartphones are high performance devices. They do more than 1/2 of what a laptop can do In the palm of your hand.. Look at laptops that were considere high performance years ago! 1gb+ used to be a great amount! And now that's on most smartphones.
It think you guys both are missing the point, and obviously don't use your smartphones very much. What exactly do you do on you computer that can't be done on a cellphone these days? Emails, cat videos, and po*n? My cellphone is used to take photos, make videos, edit video/photos, emails, make calls, watch movies, watch TV, transfer documents, scan documents, banking, set up business meetings, maintain and collect large amounts of data, steam music, etc....Now how much energy would it take to charge/power a video camera, photo camera, usb hardrive, mp3 player, desktop computer, LCD screen, streaming device (i.e., Roku, Apple TV), scanner, receiver, etc...?!
If you're talking about rending HDQ videos, playing Skyrim on Ultra, or creating 3D animation, you're right....but now you're just looking desperate for something/someone to troll.
i just say that i spend more bills then that 41 sense ..... come on

Statik Selektah Rounds Up Action Bronson, Royce Da 5'9″ & Black Thought for 'The Imperial'
Statik Selektah is basically the DJ Khaled of the underground, without the incessant self-promotion. The Lawrence, Mass., native has made all the right connections since entering the game more than a decade ago, but most importantly, he knows how to translate those relationships into dope collaborations for die-hard rap fans.
Even as early as his 2007 debut, 'Spell My Name Right: The Album,' Statik has been pairing up legends like Styles P, Q-Tip and KRS-One, and with his forthcoming sixth (yes, sixth) LP, 'What Goes Around,' due out later this summer, that formula has yet to feel played out.
We've already been treated to a jazzy, Nas-sampled duet between Brooklyn youngster Joey Bada$$ and Gary's most gangsta, Freddie Gibbs, with 'Carry On.' And for the second sample of his soon-arriving album, Statik calls on premier lyricists Action Bronson, Royce Da 5'9″ and Black Thought for this lush little number called 'The Imperial.'
You already know this track is super-duper lyrical, so there's no need to point out the obvious. We just wish you all the best in trying to pick a favorite verse, because we sure as hell can't. Like Hot Chocolate once said, everyone's a winner.

Changing My Mind
Changing My Mind
Occasional Essays
By Zadie Smith
Penguin Press HC, The, Hardcover, 9781594202377, 320pp.
Publication Date: November 12, 2009
Zadie Smith brings to her essays all of the curiosity, intellectual rigor, and sharp humor that have attracted so many readers to her fiction, and the result is a collection that is nothing short of extraordinary.
Split into four sections Reading, ? ?Being, ? ?Seeing, ? and ?Feeling "Changing My Mind" invites readers to witness the world from Zadie Smith's unique vantage. Smith casts her acute eye over material both personal and cultural, with wonderfully engaging essays?some published here for the first time?on diverse topics including literature, movies, going to the Oscars, British comedy, family, feminism, Obama, Katharine Hepburn, and Anna Magnani.
In her investigations Smith also reveals much of herself. Her literary criticism shares the wealth of her experiences as a reader and exposes the tremendous influence diverse writers?E. M. Forster, Zora Neale Hurston, George Eliot, and others?have had on her writing life and her self-understanding. Smith also speaks directly to writers as a craftsman, offering precious practical lessons on process. Here and throughout, readers will learn of the wide-ranging experiences?in novels, travel, philosophy, politics, and beyond?that have nourished Smith's rich life of the mind. Her probing analysis offers tremendous food for thought, encouraging readers to attend to the slippery questions of identity, art, love, and vocation that so often go neglected.
"Changing My Mind" announces Zadie Smith as one of our most important contemporary essayists, a writer with the rare ability to turn the world on its side with both fact and fiction. "Changing My Mind" is a gift to readers, writers, and all who want to look at life more expansively.
The act of passing on a passion is one of the greatest gifts you can give. Book critic Maureen Corrigan promises that the books on this list — mostly slim, unforgettable volumes about places or things that the writers themselves deeply love — are merrily infectious. More at NPR.org

Condolence From:
As far back as I can remember Grandma Joyce has been a forever fixture in our family. My summers spent with her and grandpa Bob is something I was always remember. She taught me how to bead. She let me play midnight Bingo with her would I couldn't sleep. If I ever wanted to know a date or story about our family Grandma Joyce remembered everything. She was very good at letting my grandpa go off on stories then when he was done she would quietly fix the facts.
Grandma always had a smile on her face even when she was upset with others, she always had a smile for her grand kids.
Joyce will be missed very much by all, but I now that she is in a better place with no pain and limits.
Love to all, tobi diane.

MillerCoors reports Q3 earnings of US$176.4M, a 44% year-over-year decline on continued weak beer sales
November 2, 2011
(Associated Press)
– Beer maker MillerCoors said Wednesday that its third quarter net income fell 44 percent on continued weak beer sales.
The company, which sells Miller Lite, Coors Lite and other beers in the U.S., said net income in the quarter ended Sept. 30 fell to $176.4 million, from $313 million last year. Excluding one-time items, net income fell 14 percent.
Higher priced seasonal craft brand extensions, like Blue Moon Summer Honey Wheat and Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy, were popular. But sales of Miller Lite and Miller Genuine Draft fell, as did sales of the company's lowest-priced beers following a price increase.
One-time items include a write-down in the value of a brand, a charge related to pension plans and integration charges related to its MillerCoors joint venture.
Revenue fell 3 percent to $2.29 billion from $2.35 billion last year. Volume fell 4 percent to 17.2 million barrels.
MillerCoors said it cut costs during the quarter to improve results. Domestic sales to retailers were down about 2 percent, a slight improvement from the second quarter.
MillerCoors is owned by London-based SABMiller PLC and Denver-based Molson Coors Brewing Co.

A "one-stop-shop" for government services where people can manage Centrelink, Medicare and tax under one roof has officially opened in the city's south.
The government services have all moved into one shopfront at Penrhyn House on Bowes Street in Woden.
Senator Marise Payne, Minister for Human Services, said the Woden Service Centre would provide access to a wider range of services in a single location.
"That's the sort of co-located government together sort of message that we have been working on for some time now and is laid out here beautifully for everybody to see," she said.
"I'm proud of what my staff do, I'm proud of what my staff do working with the ATO staff as well.
"Change is never simple, it's never something that happens overnight, it takes time to get used to, you often have to learn new skills - some people want to, some are more reticent but in the end it's what makes us more productive and better able to serve our customers and they're our bottom line. Let's be frank about that.
"We are the face of government to so many Australians."
ACT Liberal senator Zed Seselja said the time was right for the move offering combined government services under one roof.
"Demand for face-to-face Medicare services is reducing nationwide as people take advantage of other options like claiming at the doctor's surgery, the department's suite of Express Plus apps and myGov for online services," he said.
People will also be able to get help to register for myGov at the centre. MyGov offers online services for Medicare, ATO, Centrelink, the Department of Employment's Australian Jobsearch, Child Support, the Department of Veterans' Affairs and the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
Mr Seselja said people who required more personal or intensive support would be able to access face-to-face services at the centre if required.
The ATO's move out of its shopfront from Civic to Woden has left more empty federal government office space lying idle in the central business district, which, in December, had nearly a year left to run on the lease.
Ms Payne said previously the co-location model, begun under the previous Labor government, reflected slowing demand for face-to-face government services.

Rent-A-Boyfriend Agency
"In a world of lonely women…" lonely, rich women, a new elite group of male escorts are cashing in. Real life gigolos between the fine wine ages of 30 to 45, are pimping out their charms a la HBO's "Hung." But as you'll see in this promotional video, these boys are not run by some hapless poetess pimp. The bi-coastal Papau Agency will loan you one of their professional metrosexual men by the hour. It's convenient for the gal on the go, but don't think you're going to get the goods. There is a no-sex policy. Bummer! What you do get from the 3-year-old agency is a "companion." In other words, Rico Suave will gladly flex his muscles in front of your ex. For $150-$300 an hour, that's still priceless. [Bound, Not Gagged]

The Kel-Tec PMR-30 is another breakthrough from Kel-Tec. A light weight, full size pistol chambered for the flat-shooting .22 Magnum cartridge (.22WMR), the PMR-30 operates on a unique hybrid blowback/locked-breech system. This operation system allows for the use of a wide variety of ammunition as it seamlessly adjusts between locked breach and blowback operation, depending on the pressure of the cartridge. A uniquely-designed double stack magazine oholds 30 rounds and fits completely in the grip of the pistol.
The trigger is a crisp single action with an over-travel stop. The manual safety is a thumb activated ambidextrous safety lever (up for SAFE, down for FIRE). The slide locks back after the last shot and a manual slide lock lever is also provided. The light, crisp trigger pull and fiber optic sights make the PMR-30 ideal for target shooting and hunting small game.
The slide and barrel on the Kel-Tec PMR-30 are 4140 steel, frame is 7075 aluminum. Grip, slide cover, trigger, mag release, and safety levers are glass reinforced Nylon (Zytel), much like other Kel-Tec Pistols. The magazine is also Zytel and holds 30 rounds, with round count ports. Other features include: dual opposing extractors for reliability, heel magazine release to aid in magazine retention, dovetailed aluminum front sight, Picatinny accessory rail under the barrel, Urethane recoil buffer, captive coaxial recoil springs. The barrel is fluted for light weight and effective heat dissipation. PMR30 disassembles for cleaning by removal of a single pin.
Kel-Tec PMR-30 Specifications:
Calibers: .22 Magnum (.22WMR)

The National Security Agency needs help.
"Over the past 6 years, the number of [cybersecurity] incidents reported by federal agencies to the federal information security incident center has increased by nearly 680 percent," a 2012 U.S. Government Accountability Office report found.
And that threat is not shrinking.
That's why the NSA developed its National Security Cyber Assistance Program, which taps private companies to help deal with cyber attacks.
Its inaugural class of industry partners includes seven companies. Earlier this month, Maddrix announced it was one of them. Other companies involved in the NSA program include Lockheed Martin, Booz Allen Hamilton and Verizon.
The much smaller Baltimore-based Maddrix shares office space with fellow cybersecurity firm ZeroFOX in Federal Hill, according to a Baltimore Sun report.
To earn the NSA accreditation the companies had to pass muster in 21 cybersecurity specialties, including intrusion detection, incident analysis and attack remediation.
"Our extensive experience supporting U.S. government agencies, critical infrastructure, and private sector organizations, combined with our advanced technical solutions, facilitated our ability to successfully meet this demanding evaluation criteria," Maddrix chief technology officer Ron Shaffer said in a statement.
The two-year-old company has 12 full-time staffers, according to the Sun report.

Leadership Development Series: Failing Forward
6:00pm - 7:00pm CST February 26, 2014
Most people are never prepared to deal with failure. They fear it, misunderstand it, and run away from it. However, failure can be your friend! This session teaches us how to confidently look the prospect of failure in the eye and move forward anyway. The difference between an average leader and a great leader is their perception of and response to failure.

Modern gal: frustrated and dated

Bachelorette Bridget Jones.
Terrorised or teased, single women on film are cast in a narrow stereotype, writes Wesley Morris.
American movies do right by a lot of things - war, westerns, young women running for their lives. The lives of single people, meanwhile, are a different story.
Bridget Jones, she of the stammering, self-doubt and face-first collapses, is what passes for a sophisticated representation of being single: the bachelorette as Jerry Lewis.
Bridget, now at The Edge of Reason, is the natural byproduct of a medium that's never quite known what to do with unmarried characters other than marry them off. Or kill them.
In 1977, when Diane Keaton went Looking for Mr Goodbar, the search ended in blood. And Julianne Moore, the ambitious and nosy friend in The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, died a grisly death as she closed in on Rebecca De Mornay's plot to conquer a suburban household. So if Bridget Jones doesn't have a husband and she's not dead, then there's only one place for her to go: crazy.
This would make her a legitimate but hardly excusable relative of other blonde crazies, such as Glenn Close's psychotic single in Fatal Attraction - a woman who seemed so possessed by the old saying about all the good men being married or gay that her only alternative was to stalk an adulterer. There's a nice, descriptive scene in which Close, having followed Michael Douglas to his sprawling new suburban home, watches him wow his wife and daughter with a bunny. The sight makes her vomit. Out of envy, or disgust? The movie never says, but before she loses her mind, she seems to want the rabbit and the house, too.
Fatal Attraction is often read as a salvo on cheating husbands, when really it's one of the most brutal films ever made about being single. (Douglas, after all, gets to keep Anne Archer and their Volvo.) The movie owes a huge debt to Alfred Hitchcock, who seldom met a single woman he didn't enjoy teasing or terrorising on film: Janet Leigh in Psycho, Tippi Hedren in The Birds and Marnie, and plain-Jane Barbara Bel Geddes in Vertigo who so lusts for James Stewart that she has to sublimate her desire with the binding bras she sketches.
Why is it so hard to believe that being alone when the credits roll could constitute a happy ending? Maybe television is to blame.
Movies believe in a much more definite sort of closure. Singleness is a condition waiting to be cured by a formula - boy meets girl, etc. Love is the reward for having endured the narrative.
Nora Ephron, the author of When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail, deserves to have her films studied in the same courses that dismantle the novels of Jane Austen and the Brontes. Not because they're as good (they're not), but because they're interesting for what they tell us about what a women needs from a man and what she'll put up with and sacrifice to be with one.
In You've Got Mail, Meg Ryan ends up in the arms of the man who destroyed her business. Ephron is shrewd enough to make us think this is OK by having Tom Hanks play the guy.
In the trajectory of her career, Ryan makes a vivid poster woman for modern single women in the movies. She started out believing in the purest imaginable love, then mutated into a woman who felt entitled to it, eventually turning bitter and sceptical. It doesn't matter which man she ends up with at the end of these movies. The search is perpetual; the next film begins with her worn out and doubtful all over again.
So Sleepless in Seattle gives way to French Kiss and Addicted to Love, which is followed by Kate and Leopold. Here a bilious Ryan is so sick of romantic fantasies and the realities of dating that she agrees to live far back in time with knightly Hugh Jackman. As a single professor in last year's In the Cut, she made rough love to Mark Ruffalo and fled a serial killer. The killer missed, but Ryan was telling us that a part of her was already dead.
If the single woman is alienated from herself, the travails of the single guy are often played for sport. From The Pick-up Artist and In the Company of Men to Whippedand the new Alfie, women aren't dated, they're scored. A date movie, however, is not necessarily a movie about dating. A dating movie is a movie you want to avoid on a date. If someone invites you over to watch Paul Mazursky's An Unmarried Woman, Woody Allen's Crimes and Misdemeanors, Nicole Holofcener's Walking and Talking or Todd Solondz's Happiness, consider yourself warned.
One of the best relationship movies ever made is about dating: Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Told from the man's point of view, it's the story of two people who meet, fall in love, break up, and then pay a company to erase their memories of each other. This is the rare movie that makes poetry of the minutia of a relationship, its highs and its lows. Even when the embattled couple seems to have worked it out, you're not entirely convinced the relationship will survive a week. Unlike most Hollywood endings, this one is only sort of happy.
