I've been aware of the lean startup approach for a while, but never really dug into it until I actually moved from software consultancy to a startup. With the benefit of hindsight, I should have gotten smart about it a lot earlier.
As it happens, many of the lean startup techniques can be valuable in non-startup contexts as well. For example, when you or one your customers is thinking of launching a new product or a new major product feature, there are a variety of techniques in the lean startup methodology that will help you validate the idea, minimize risk, and find the optimal product-market fit.
If I had to summarize the value of the lean startup approach in one sentence, that would be something like: "Lean startup helps you find a scalable business model in the presence of great uncertainty and with scarce resources." That's the situation most startups are in by definition, but it also isn't too far from what established companies are facing when they're trying to do something new.
Now that I'm starting to figure out this whole lean startup thing, I'd like to share a few things I wish I'd known a few years earlier, while I was doing software development in established companies.
Read The Literature
There's a growing literature on the topic of lean startups. One might think these books aren't that useful for people who aren't in startups, but I believe that's wrong. This is a goldmine for anyone dealing with the business of software in any shape or form.
There are two books I especially recommend:
The Lean Startup
The Lean Startup by Eric Ries is the introductory book, and the book that started it all. It explains where the lean startup philosophy comes from and why it works.
The main thing I personally took out of this book was an understanding of the lean startup techniques, and a motivation to apply them.
Running Lean
Running Lean by Ash Maurya is a perfect companion to the Ries book. It takes the philosophy and gives a fully laid out plan for applying it in practice. This is exactly the kind of advice you need when you're new to something, and this book delivers. I find myself returning to it time and time again.
Running Lean is one of the books on O'Reilly's Lean Series. The other titles in that series look fascinating too, but I haven't gotten around to them yet.
Use The Lean Canvas
Of all the tools in the lean startup toolbox, the Lean Canvas is possibly the easiest to get started with, and the one with quickest return in terms of value. It is a visualization tool whose purpose is to visualize the different aspects of the product or business idea you have, to approach it from different angles, and to get a picture of whether it's feasible or not.
Startups use these kinds of things all the time, but I think this is really something that should be used much more in other contexts too. It's a very quick tool to apply - it only takes fifteen minutes to draft a canvas. In that short amount of time, it's quite incredible how much you can clarify your thoughts, as well as communicate them to others.
The sections of The Lean Canvas are:
- The Problem - what problem(s) does your idea solve? For an idea to be successful, there must be some problem in the world that it fixes. Also, think about existing alternatives people are currently using to solve that problem. The alternatives might be other products or workarounds, for example. Thinking of alternatives helps you evaluate the usefulness of your solution.
- The Customer Segments - who exactly is it that has the problems you described? Is it a specific group of people? If there are multiple different groups of people, mention all of them. Also identify early adopters - the people or companies you'll be able to talk to and get traction with even before your solution is finished.
- The Unique Value Proposition - what is the big idea, with which you solve these problems for these people? Think of what would read at the top of the product's website: Who needs your solution, how does their world change when they use it, and when does that happen?
- The Solution - how, in practical terms, do you implement your Unique Value Proposition so that the problems are solved? Here we're talking specific features and qualities of the solution.
- The Channels through which you reach those early adopters. Do you know them already? Do they know you? If not, how can you get your message across to them? This is all about marketing and communication.
- The Revenue Streams and The Cost Structure. In other words, the financials. How do you get revenue from the solution? How much will it cost to implement it? What kind of revenue will you need to break even?
- The Key Metrics with which you track whether your solution is working. This is crucial so that you'll know when you need to change something. A very useful tool for defining these is Dave McClure's Pirate Metrics model.
- The Unique Advantage you have. What is it that you posess that isn't easily copied or bought by someone else? Do you have some insider information or an existing community you can leverage? This is often the hardest part to define, but it can make the difference between a succesful endeavour and a failed one.
One thing that has been particularly striking for me is the realization that as a programmer, most of my ideas have originated from the Solution box: I've come across some technology or implementation idea and everything has followed from that. The thing is, that isn't really what makes something fly. You need to look at all the other boxes too. Most importantly, what problem is that solution solving and for whom? I've always been kind of aware of this issue but have lacked the tools to deal with it. Now I have them.
The Lean Canvas is based on prior work by Alex Osterwalder and co, with their business model canvas concept. If you're interested in finding out more about these canvases, I recommend you look at the Running Lean book and Maurya's Lean Canvas webapp, as well as Osterwalder's Business Model Generation book. There's also a recent InfoQ interview with Osterwalder, in which these topics are discussed.
Get Out of The Building
Crafting a Lean Canvas is one thing, but what you need to do next is even more important: You need to look at your canvas, identify which part of it carries the biggest risk or uncertainty, figure out how to validate that part in the real world, and get out of the building to actually test it.
Startups are usually working with scarce resources, which drives them towards techniques like this: When you don't have much budget or time and you're facing enormous uncertainty, you have to do all you can to reduce that uncertainty with the minimum amount of effort. This is possibly the most important problem the lean startup approach aims to solve.
In established companies, budgets and schedules are usually much larger, and I think that's actually hurting them in the sense that they aren't forced to face the real world soon enough. I've often seen a company work on developing a product for months or years on end, without any proper customer feedback loops in place. Finally, at the end of the project, there's *The Launch*, and that is when you start to actually learn whether the product was something the market wanted or not. If it was, that's great, but if it wasn't, an enormous amount of work and money has gone to waste. That didn't have to happen.
Agile development methodologies have been enormously successful in helping organizations keep development on track by means of continuous feedback. It is just as important to insert similar feedback loops to measure whether the track itself is heading in the right direction. This is what The Lean Startup does, and any company that isn't educated on it is that much worse off.

LONDON (Reuters) - The British parliament's defence watchdog on Tuesday poured cold water on plans that would allow firms to bid to manage multi-billion dollar government defence equipment contracts.
Stung by years of accusations of mismanagement, cost inflation and delays, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) is said to be close to outsourcing responsibility for the purchase and maintenance of defence equipment to a private company.
Such an arrangement could be a boon for outsourcing firms like Britain's Serco, which would be entrusted with managing a large chunk of the MoD's defence budget, totalling 34.4 billion pounds this year.
Last week the MoD outlined a 10-year 159 billion pound defence equipment spending plan.
In a new report, parliament's defence select committee, which scrutinises the MoD, said outsourcing defence procurement was not necessarily the "best way forward" and questioned how the MoD would maintain responsibility for acquisitions.
Committee chief James Arbuthnot demanded more detail before any decisions are taken.
The focus on cutting inefficiency at the MoD has grown in recent years as Britain slashes spending to rein in a big budget deficit. Defence cuts have been among the most controversial given British military engagements in Afghanistan and elsewhere.
Highlighting project management failures, the committee said a costly government U-turn last year on the type of fighter jet to be flown off planned new aircraft carriers was one of the "most spectacular examples" of procurement gone wrong.
The committee also urged caution in implementing government plans to buy more equipment abroad to cut costs, rather than from domestic suppliers such as BAE Systems, which has long handled most of Britain's biggest defence projects.
"If it transpires that others (countries) are not prepared to give to UK industry the opportunities the UK gives to theirs, it might become necessary for the government to reduce its open procurement," the committee said in its report.

Nothing is "wrong". You have turned on the traffic shaper. This will, by
design, impact the upload and download speed of your connection.
On what platform are you running m0n0wall? This can also impact the
performance of the traffic shaper. (i.e. a old Pentium will not perform
as well as a P4)
The lack of upload speed makes me thing your upload traffic is going
into one of the low/blocked queues.

hello, the two are not related-- it is really cold where you are?
Yes. I thought they maybe becuase they both came on at the same time.
Yes. They both came on at the same time so I thought they were. The snapon scanner does not give me any answers.
ok -- there is a bulletin for the throttle body cold weather issue-- and windows just need silcone sprayed into the glass runs -- cold weather will cause them to move real slow
you will need to clean the throttle body airintake with a combustion cleaner and reset the computer by negative battery terminal disconnect
this should solve these concern,tim

not so lucky- It was -20 yesterday -- now freezing ran -- but it is good for my bodyshop
part from dealer -- it is only held on by 4 bolts-- not a big deal to change
possible -- I would want to try another scanner before we condemn computer
We need to double check the throttle body install for a vaccum leak -- at this point disregard the steering angle sensor fault code -- that is illrelevant at this point -- also have you cleared codes and retatred engine -- if so do the codes come back -- and we are sure -- we are not leaking vacuum at the thr intake?
have it scanned again -- if throwing those lights -- it should have set a fault code

|Home > Documentation > Configuring and administering > Configuring services > Adding JARs to the Geronimo repository
The server keeps common Java libraries in a repository by using the same directory structure and naming conventions prompted by the Apache Maven project. If your Java EE asset depends on a library that is not already in the repository, you can update the repository to include the new library from the administration console or by using the deployer command, and define the dependency in your Java EE asset's deployment plan. This topic introduces how to add Java libraries to the Geronimo repository by using the Administration Console.
For adding archives or jars to the repository, the Repository Viewer portlet is available by selecting Server > Repository on the Console Navigation menu on the left side. The Repository Viewer portlet illustrated in the following figure displays the artifacts installed in the server's repository. The layout of the repository is the same as that used by Apache Maven, which makes it possible to copy files over easily.
Here are the meaning for each field on the Repository Viewer portlet:
To avoid problems with trying to load the same native library more than once per jvm lifetime, you need to put the code that loads native libraries (such as many db drivers) into a classloader plugin that can be shared among all the datasource plugins that need the classes.
To use an artifact in an application, take the first artifact from the list as an example, you will need to add a <dependency> element under <dependencies> in the <environment> element in the application's deployment plan. Here is an excerpt of how a deployment plan would look like:
Besides using the administration console to add an archive into the Geronimo repository, you can do the same thing by using the
deploy command.

Weather Journal: Clouds and Rain Arrive Thursday
Greater New York's stellar spring weather disappears on Thursday, thanks to a warm front that will bring clouds and rain to the region for the next few days.
The front will slowly approach from the southwest on Thursday and Friday, and then lift north of the tri-state area from Friday night into Saturday. Most of Thursday's showers will occur during the morning and mainly in western parts of the region, so commuters should set out for the day armed with umbrellas. A few showers could linger throughout the day, and there's a very small chance of isolated thunderstorms developing over northwestern parts of the area on Thursday night.

Video overall
This video is supposed to give the viewers an inside look at Anna Nicole Smith's life and sexual fantasies.
Anna Nicole Smith & Ahmo Hight
Anna Nicole is taking her evening bath when her maid (fitness model Ahmo Hight) comes into the bath-room to give her some towels. Ahmo then begins to rub Anna Nicole's shoulders. Anna Nicole closes her eyes and starts fantasising about the two of them. She watches as Ahmo undresses and climbs down into the hot-tub with her. The love-scene that follows shows Anna Nicole licking on Ahmo's breasts for quite a while, the two of them kissing passionately and finally a simulated sequence where Ahmo fingers and licks Anna Nicole.
Anna Nicole Smith & Ahmo Hight
Ahmo walks into Anna Nicole's bedroom one morning to wake her up. She gently whispers to her to wake up while stroking her back. Anna Nicole slowly wakes up, smiles and caresses Ahmo's face with her hand. Ahmo bends down and places a kiss on Anna Nicole's neck. She then leaves the room.
Anna Nicole, still in bed, begins to masturbate while fantasising about Ahmo once again. This time, she fantasises that Ahmo is stripping for her.
I remember reading a rumor that Anna Nicole was supposed to appear in a lesbian love-scene in an upcoming video. This was well over 6 months before the video showed up. Allthough I was very curious about this video, I was also certain it would be disappointing, that it would merely be another Anna Nicole Smith Playboy video and that the "lesbian" scene would be as boring and posed as always.
When I finally got to see the video, I first noted that it was not produced by Playboy, thank god, but it began just like I had expected anyway..in Playboy style. A dim-lit mansion, an overly smiling Anna Nicole and just a lot of scenes of her being photographed...soo exciting.
When the scene of interrest began, I was suprised to see that Anna Nicole suddenly had stoped Playboy-smiling and wasn't even looking into the camera. The scene was much more intense and serious about it than most of the other scenes on the tape. How about that? The lesbian scene being less posed and more passionate than the hetero-scenes! That's not something you experience everyday in Playboy style videos.
What also pleasently suprised me was to see how much Anna Nicole was into it. She licked, bited and sucked Ahmo's breasts with great passion. And the same is true when they kissed each other, neither Anna Nicole nor Ahmo held back. They looked like they genuinely loved what they were doing.
The negative thing is of course that the scene is at least 20 minutes too short. If you can have Anna Nicole doing a lesbian love-scene and it's so obvious she likes it, why don't you make it longer? Do they think we will get bored so they decide to include scenes where she for example stands on the balcony talking in her mobile phone instead? I just don't get it..
The second scene was just a big, big tease. It started off really well and I thought to myself that this will be a fantastic scene but after Ahmo had lightly touched various parts of Anna Nicole's body and softly lip-kissed her neck, she just left her!

Merlin (1978)
by Robert Nye
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This cheeky novel, about the origin of the great enchanter, is especially irreverent towards monks and nuns.
At the heart, or should I say in the bosom, of Merlin is the following: "Perhaps it is the source of the magic I know already. For here is some root at the dark root of all -- an erotic nerve below everything, a source for all manner of imaginations and enchantments." This supplies Nye with all the rationale he needs to bust loose with all the "erotic" (if one defines that as somewhere midway between bawdy and pornographic) and imaginative extravagance he can pack into 200 pages. A book that starts with a version of the harrowing of hell that depicts Christ as a dancing monkey with a purple jacket, accompanied by cymbal-playing Virgin Mary who distracts Satan and his minions with lust and wine, is a book that will go just about anywhere. All good fun, though, and there's at least one genuine belly laugh to be had.

What type of procedures are involved in replacing saline implants with silicone? Also, I want to be larger. I made the mistake of giving my surgeon the decision in choosing the size. I was happy for a short while; but looking back wish I had gone larger and with silicone. I want them to feel more natural, especially when laying on my stomach as well as when my kids lounge on me when we are watching movies as well as when they hug me.I've had them for 3 years now.
I Have Saline Implants and Have Always Wanted Larger Implants That Are Silicone?
Doctor Answers 6
Switching saline implants to gel
This is actually a very common occurence. Women who change from saline to silicone implants notice a large improvement in texture and mobility. Also, increasing the size only takes a few more minutes in surgery to open up the pocket where the breast implant lies. You will find that the recovery is much quicker and less painful than the original surgery. It is very important for you communicate your goals with your plastic surgeon so that you are definately happy the second time around. I hope this helps you.
Kindest regards,

I Have Saline Implants and Have Always Wanted Larger Implants That Are Silicone?
This time spend more time with your plastic surgeon and be as sure as possible that the communication is satisfactory.
Usually the same incision can be used, unless it is through the navel and in some cases via the axilla. To accomodate the larger implant the pocket must be of sufficient size, and may need to be enlarged. If the implant is above the muscle, moving it to below the muscle or below the fascia will be a consideration.
For most patients the discomfort is considerably less than it was for the original augmentation.
The silicone implants typically do feel much more natural.
Thanks for your question, best wishes.
Changing from Saline Implants to Silicone Gel Breast Implants?
Thank you for your question.
Many patients choose to change from saline breast implants to silicone gel breast implants. It is very common for patients to want to go larger in size as well. The recovery for this surgery is usually less than breast augmentation the first time.
Communication with your plastic surgeon will be critical to help you achieve your size goals with this procedure.
In my practice I find the use of goal pictures to be very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as "natural" or "C cup" or "fake looking" or "top heavy" means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful. Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
I use intraoperative sizers and place the patient in the upright position to evaluate breast size. Use of these sizers also allow me to select the breast implant profile (low, moderate, moderate plus, high-profile) that would most likely achieve the patient's goals. The patient's goal pictures are hanging on the wall, and allow for direct comparison. I have found that this system is very helpful in improving the chances of achieving the patient's goals as consistently as possible.
I hope this helps.

Replacing saline with silicone
I Have Saline Implants and Have Always Wanted Larger Implants That Are Silicone
Most patients who replace their saline implants for silicone are happy they did so
They state that the silicone implants feel softer and move more naturally
I do not usually remove the capsule ,but rather release it in order to accommodate a larger implant
If the implant is sub-muscular, I will often replace it above the muscle behind the fascia
Some companies will offer a rebate for implant exchange

Exchanging implants
Dear Nan. I would agree with you that silicone will feel more natural than saline. We have many women that are motivated to have a revision because of that reason alone.
In order to exchange implants for a larger size, you would have to have the scar tissue capsules around your implants removed in order to accomodate larger implants. If your current scars are around your areolas or at the bottom of the breasts, your surgeon should be able to reuse that access route. As far as the size goes, you would need to have an extensive discussion with your surgeon. Hope it goes well.

The number of promoters of US property is rising along with the strong Australian dollar, raising government and industry concerns about investment scams.
Some local property owners are opting to sell their Australian real estate so they can buy in the US, where prices are up to 33 per cent cheaper since their 2007 peak.
Many Australian investors are buying investment properties in the US for the cost of a deposit here, said Tim Foote, principal of Belle Property Mosman and Neutral Bay, in Sydney.
"I sold one property for a vendor who intends to move to the US . . . I'm talking to another potential vendor who is considering selling so they can free up funds to buy investment properties in the US."
Examples of prices include a three-bedroom house in Florida for about $US165,000 ($150,000) and another in Phoenix for $US45,000.
Angus Raine, chief executive of Raine & Horne, said the depressed US market and the strong dollar might make US purchases more appealing but there were many downsides. Tenants, in particular, may not be as easy to come by in the US as some sellers advertise.
"With unemployment in the US at very high levels [9.2 per cent] . . . it's fair to expect that tenancy rates and rental yields have been affected. I've heard horror stories of Australians left with a portfolio of homes in the wrong locations and, as a result, the likelihood of recouping regular or any rents appears impossible. They can also forget about evicting unruly tenants."
But operators in the sector argue the opportunities are genuine. There are risks but key to finding the right property is engaging the right agent, tenants and method of buying American real estate, said Salustio Sejas from Real Estate in USA.
"When the dollar went up, we had more interest in [purchasing] US real estate. But it's not just the dollar . . . property prices in Australia are too high."
Mr Sejas buys property for Australian clients in Orlando and surrounding areas of central Florida, priced between $US40,000 and $US70,000. He said these areas have a good number of houses for sale at bargain prices, provide great capital growth and positive cash flow.
"You're talking about net yields [of] between 12 and 15 per cent. In some areas, you look at yields of 20 per cent . . ." But, he said: "If they offer 20 per cent, it [may not] be sustainable – you have to be careful."
He said buying real estate in the US was not that different from NSW residents investing in Queensland and maintaining the property from a distance. "People invest in Queensland – they don't see those properties."
But local agents disagree and say Australian prices have softened and represent improved and safer opportunities for investors. "Take Sydney as an example," Mr Raine said, "where the median price for apartments was closer to $459,000 last October – let's assume it's now closer to $436,000."
According to the US National Association of Realtors in Washington, Australians spent almost $600 million on US residential property last year.
Victoria's Minister for Consumer Affairs,
In a statement, Mr O'Brien said: "A real concern is that Victorians may be given false or misleading information through investment seminars or websites about high rental returns. [These] may tempt them into taking out a loan or risking their Australian assets to finance the purchase of a property."
Consumer Affairs Victoria is encouraging investors to consider why overseas groups "need someone in Australia to invest", where to find good tenants, and the hidden costs a promoter might omit from their sales pitch.

CALDWELL -- At 23 inches tall, Thor might not physically be the biggest attraction at the Noble County Fair.
Yet children and adults alike couldn't help themselves from stopping to watch the miniature horse. Whether the foal was in his stall or out in the ring, Thor had a small entourage captivated with his tiny size.
It didn't hurt that the girl behind the horse, Chesne Long, was more than happy to oblige passersby, leading the horse to meet and be pet by new friends.
While Long's relationship with the three-month foal is new, Long isn't an equine amateur. She's grown up around horses her entire life, much like her grandmother, Shila Stephen. The family owns and raises horses, so Long's interest in horses wasn't unexpected.
At 8 years old, Chesne has been showing horses since she was 4 and it's something she said she wants to keep doing.
Even with her family's history with horses, Long still is learning about showing and handling horses each day. When she shows Thor Wednesday (today), it will be the pair's first time in the ring together and Long's debut in the open mare and foal class.
Previously, Long stuck with barrel racing, but after her horse's death last spring, she didn't have a horse to show.
"All the horses we have are too big for Chesne," Stephen explained. "So we bought her Thor."
Despite the challenge of showing an unfamiliar horse in an unfamiliar class, Long hardly appeared to be phased. Instead, she's excited to make her debut with Thor.
However, Long won't be in the ring by herself.
Because of Thor's young age, he has to be shown with his mother Charmaine. While Long will lead Thor, Charmaine's owner, Maria Biedenbach, will lead the mare.
Along with Thor, Charmaine has been receiving her 15 minutes of fame. While the mother has a few inches on her son, Charmaine's miniature frame is still too hard for fairgoers to resist.
While Stephen isn't surprised by random people stopping to gush over the mini horses, one of the duo's fans did catch her off guard: Long's brother, Beckett Long.
"He's never shown an interest in them," Stephen explained. "But then we got here and he suddenly became interested."
Both Beckett and Chesne have no problems helping take care of Thor at the fair. As soon as the miniature horse was put in his stall the Long children wanted to bring him back out. Chesne even admitted that other than leading Thor in the round pen, her next favorite activity is giving him baths.
While Thor is one of the smallest horse at the fair, he's certainly garnered some of the most attention. Even if the foal doesn't win big in the ring, he has won over plenty of Noble County.

Mother convicted of encouraging her son to fight another boy
April 27, 2013
A Weld County jury on Tuesday convicted a mother accused of encouraging her son to fight another boy at a Greeley high school.
Julie Benavidez , 34, was arrested in November after her 15-year-old son was in a fight with a student at Jefferson High School, and administrators said she was standing by and encouraging the altercation. She was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Deputy District Attorney Michael Pirraglia said Benavidez should have just left the high school after she had picked up her daughter. He said instead, she stopped to let her son get out of the car after he yelled gang-related comments at the other boy.
Pirraglia said Benavidez went over to where the boys were standing, told her son to, "Get him," and threatened a girl after the fight by saying that she was next.
Adults and parents are responsible for shaping children's lives. They're instilling values and core principles …
— Michael Pirraglia, Deputy District Attorney
"Adults and parents are responsible for shaping children's lives," Pirraglia said. "They're instilling values and core principles and teaching the importance of obeying the laws, not breaking them. That's why this statute's here."
Defense attorney Chaz Melihercik said the fact that Benavidez was standing nearby while the boys fought does not mean she encouraged them. Melihercik said the other boy kicked her son in the head, and that was the end of the fight.
"As any parent will tell you, when your children are involved, you often make decisions that you wouldn't otherwise make, and that doesn't make you a criminal."
He said testimony from the school's principal was inconsistent with video of the fight, which was taken from a distance. He said police zeroed in on Benavidez as a culprit in the case but never fully investigated.
"Don't convict on a vague consensus," Melihercik said. "Don't convict on the idea that she should have done something else."
Benavidez is scheduled to be sentenced June 10. She was also accused of a misdemeanor traffic violation in the case, and that matter will be discussed at the sentencing.

Butler Manor Woods
Butler Manor Woods, located within Mount Loretto Unique Area, encompasses roughly 18 acres of wetlands. It is a remarkable parcel of land that truly complements and beautifies the incredible ecological diversity already found within Mount Loretto State Forest.
Butler Manor Woods receives its name from the Butler family, who owned almost 100 acres of the original land during the early 1900s. Prior to that however, in the 1880s the Catholic Archdiocese of New York had used the property, which also included Mt. Loretto, to minister to the hungry, homeless and disabled children and adults who lived in and around the area. Due in part to the Archdiocese's dedication and passion to open space, it is quite fitting that this property will now forever be preserved as a sort of natural sanctuary for New Yorker's and visitors alike.
The property was purchased in 2006 through funding and collaborative efforts between the Trust for Public Land, the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, the US Department of Justice & the US Environmental Protection Agency, and grants secured by Senators Schumer and Clinton, Congressman Fosella, and the support of Congressman Jose Serrano. The area is a part of the NYSDEC's Open Space Conservation plan, which serves as the blueprint for the State's land conservation efforts that, over the past several years, have conserved nearly a million acres of land.
Butler Manor Woods may be accessed by via Hylan Blvd between Page Ave and Richard Rd.

Welcome to our new home!
Well glucose tolerance has been tested. While away the two hours watching What to expect when you're expecting...very amusing actually. The moment when the one woman turns to her DH and says she's sorry but she just wants to punch him in the face! They will ring me tomorrow if there is a problem.
Think I'm going bonkers....left my debit card in Lidl. Only realised when I got to the co-op (forgot something in Lidl!) that I'd left it. Fortunately they still had it. Then I came home and left the keys in the front door for 10 minutes! On a positive note, I have bought a few more bits so I can start putting my hospital bag together. Which scares me.
Any twinges LP?
Hooray <passes cake round> I don't have GD!
Am I talking to myself here?!
bluer how are you doing?
Oh dear. I dropped my car at the garage and walked the 20 mins to the hospital for my abdo scan (re the pain they admitted me with). Checked the letter when I got there - fast for 4 hours beforehand. I could swear it said 'no prep' first time I read it. So I had to rearrange it. Then I got back to the garage (reverse lights aren't working). Isn't the bulbs. Isn't the switch (like they thought). Got to take it to an electrical specialist. Not the best afternoon but off to take DNephew swimming now so hopefully it'll improve
i'm around. feeling just floored by the last week and a half. A is just scrummy though.
faith i will be at LCH weekly for a few weeks.....next week i'll have the MIL/SIL along but after that I'll let you know what times my appts are and we can maybe try and grab a coffee? I have to take A to the fracture clinic to have a fresh cast put on every week for about 8 weeks....
Waiting now on the results of the latest blood test on A for bilirubin. I am seriously going to melt down if I have to go back in with him. I can't cope with it. I mainly can't cope with the crappy method of getting blood from him. It is so distressing.
They wanted us to sit in a side room and wait for two hours!! but we came home....we only live ten mins away....they are phoning us.
I have very little confidence in them....we get there and have to explain to the Dr the course of events and treatment so far. Can't he read the sodding file?
I am really scared this is going to push into PND......I can cope with one or the other, but both at the same time is too much. Weekly appts at Linc, screening test on Friday, HV wants to come same day can't get hold of her to change it....m/w still visiting.....I just want everyone to sod off and leave me to enjoy my baby.
Hey faith! Hey queenie!
Sorry I've been remiss in my peshing...good news on the test and on the baby...you two have been busy.
I'm just soldiering on...got my twelve week scan on thurs, weirdly excited and nervous if that makes sense. Can't wait to see the wee one again but scared in case there's a problem
Ah I remember that feeling well bluer. I blubbed when I saw Pickle wriggling!
Queenie yes would be luffly to see/meet you! After next week I am going on to short shifts so I should be able to meet you one end of the day when you're over! Lates I start at 11.30, earlies I finish by 3
What was the outcome of the tests today? I hope things are settling down so you get time to just bond with your boy.
Even Mr df has admitted to excitement! He's usually quite reserved but I think the worry about not getting pregnant has made him much keener and more on board. I very much pushed the ttc and he wasn't into it but I think the fact it took longer has got him into Daddy mode
I think it takes most blokes a while...my MW was asking if MSB is excited this morning...excited doesn't cover it! He reads his books and looks at his "Pregnancy for blokes" app and tells me details about Pickle's development
don't tell anyone but I'm sure I saw him wipe a tear at the 12 week scan too
Hey keeps rubbing my tummy...feel like a Buddha
Annoyingly he's not prepared to discuss names yet...I worry about his taste too haha...he has expressed an interest in some very dull names but since them nothing. I on the other hand can't stop thinking of names but they're to of for him.
I jokingly said to MSB a few minutes ago, hmm..my boobs feel really heavy...maybe I'm pregnant?! He laughed, looked at my big belly and asked me when I last saw my fanjo!
I don't think we really started talking names til after the 20 week scan. We had very flippant 'What about x?' but after we got
an idea of what sex it was it was easier to start fine tuning choices. Somehow after 20 weeks it felt more real to us?
Maybe that's what he's waiting for! As a teacher I have some very specific names feelings...basically a bad experience is enough to put you off ! I'm thinking we'll find out the sex...our parents are against out and think it should be a surprise...won't be telling then!
I've found it really frustrating with people dictating that you musn't find out! Fortunately out families have been alright. But yes, no need to tell them eh?!
Being a teacher must make it tougher. Most of my patients have names you'd never go for. MSB's Nan wants us to call Pickle 'Winnie' - her middle name and NN. It's also my Grandma's name. But still, no!
MN....his names are just not my cup of tea...he likes kayleigh which is not my style at all...
MN....his names are just not my cup of tea...he likes kayleigh which is not my style at all!
well it's a good thing we didn't wait at the hospital. it was 9pm!! by the time the results got back to the ward from the lab......anyway, his level is low enough that he doesn't need any more treatment
Hooray! Really glad you went home then and delighted that he doesn't need more treatment.
I am now vaccinated against whopping cough. Seriously, that jab stung! The nurse said its the same as they'll give my PFB at 8 weeks?! made the controversial decision to have it in my right (dominant) arm because I can only get comfy to sleep on my left. Dunno if I'll live to regret it. It aches! Ah well, all for baybees benefit.
blue I quite like Kayleigh...don't think MSB would go for it though.
faif i'm really confused by this....ALL the literature i read said it was the one they give as the school booster (Repevax)....it's not the same as the 8 week one.....
That's what she told me...but then again she said it was the same as the one they give 3 year olds....it's got typhoid in it too?! Ah well, either way, it stung like mad and now my arm hurts but at least I'm vaccinated, eh?!
Glad it went well queenie
I have nothing against Kayleigh other than teaching a nightmare one who actually kicked a hole in the classroom door...Mr df just can't get how a year of wailing 'Kayleigh don't.....' Gets to you!
It's all about association!
Well i'm eleven Weeks <proud>
The wee one was very camera shy and my picture was so bad the woman said i'm sorry you've got a crap photo! But I don't care...I saw the heart fluttering! Out was face on the while time hence the poor photo ops but we saw it waving at us and jumping about! Blooming marvellous! !
Oh fantastic! 11 weeks already? Did you think you were so far along?
We had the opposite at the first scan - great pictures but unable to measure because if positioning! I know what you mean, all you want to see is a wriggly baby and a beating heart
We are now visiting MSB's family in Devon. The journey really took its toll on me - when we stopped about 2 hours in I threw up! We had planned to see his grandparents then travel another hour and a half but have chosen to stay here tonight and travel tomorrow. Will be better for me and give MSB a rest from driving. We went for a nice walk by the sea with their dogs this afternoon. I am a bit slow but it was nice to get some fresh air and some time to chat
Sounds lovely. We had our honeymoon in Devon and Cornwall and I love it! !
The dating is a bit further than I thought and a bit less than the doc thought! I'm glad it's still August due date as my sister gets married in September!
We went to Cornwall for our honeymoon too. It was lovely
We went to the Lakes for ours. Twas beautiful.
So I've met everyone now....including the MIL. Only been married 4.5 years....she is...fascinating. Not quite what I imagined but clearly on her best behaviour. She is very excited about being a Grandma though and offering us stuff so can't knock her for that. Pleased to say his grandparents like me though and getting on well with his cousin and wife who we're staying with.
blue it's good that the baybee is due at a good time. I am August burfday and it was pretty good. Always on holibobs for it

Apple attracts sparse crowds to opening sales of its iPad mini
Apple Inc's iPad mini hit stores around the world on Friday, attracting sparser crowds than previous Apple introductions, but the kickoff still drew hundreds of New Yorkers only days after one of the biggest storms to hit the United States.
A proliferation of rival gadgets aimed at the holidays and cheaper tablets from Google Inc and Amazon.com Inc may have sapped interest in Apple's latest bet, resulting in shorter lines outside stores from Tokyo and Amsterdam to Sydney and Hong Kong.
The 7.9-inch iPad mini marks Apple's first foray into the smaller-tablet segment, and is the company's first major new device since the death of its co-founder, Steve Jobs, last year.
In Manhattan, crowds braved crippled public transit and an early morning chill to line up outside Apple's Fifth Avenue flagship store just two blocks from where a damaged crane dangled from a high-rise building — a stark example of how Sandy ravaged the city.
Lisa Sieber, 59, from Germany, rode a bicycle to the store because she said she was going "stir crazy" at her 81-year-old mother's home in Manhattan's Lower East Side.
"There's not much to do without power and lights," she said.
On the West Coast, fewer than a hundred people thronged Apple's new outlet in Palo Alto, Calif., near the company's Cupertino headquarters, and staff appeared to outnumber customers.
The iPad mini marks Apple's assault on the smaller 7-inch-plus tablet segment, hoping to beat back major inroads by Google's Nexus 7 and Amazon's Kindle Fire this year.
The iPad mini's price tag of $329 is higher than the list price of $199 for both the Kindle Fire and the Nexus 7.
Shares of Apple, which hit an all-time high in September, slid as much as 2.7 percent on Friday to $580.14, their lowest level in more than three months.

Hi everyone!
I really hope someone out there can help me out with this, because itâs
driving me insane! I have searched and searched through endless forums and
websites trying to find a solution, but I canât seem to find one.
Iâve got a brand new computer, running Vista Home Premium, and from the
moment I got it I have been having problems with Internet Explorer 7 and
Windows Live Messenger. I connect to the internet via a wireless network
connection, using a Linksys Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with Speedbooster,
and I never had this problem with my XP computer, which also had IE7 and WLM.
So, I am guessing itâs either a Vista-related problem or something to do with
my internet/connection settings.
The problem is this... I can connect to the internet and access different
websites as normal, but then at random, I start to get the âInternet Explorer
cannot display the webpageâ page and at the same time, WLM loses its
connection. Itâs not always the same website(s) that causes it, like I said
itâs just really random. Sometimes the page eventually appears after
refreshing about 10-20 times, but each time I click âRefreshâ, WLM
disconnects again. WebPages that are open in other tabs are not affected;
they refresh and reload as normal.
It doesnât seem to be a connection problem because when it happens, AIM and
other stuff, like Outlook etc., stay connected and the network icon in the
taskbar says I am connected as normal. It just seems that whatever is wrong
just affects IE and WLM. The IE problem still occurs even when WLM isnât
running, and WLM sometimes disconnects even when a webpage loads okay in IE!
This is what the IE page says:-
Most likely causes:
⢠You are not connected to the Internet.
⢠The website is encountering problems.
⢠There might be a typing error in the address.
This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:
⢠Internet connectivity has been lost.
⢠The website is temporarily unavailable.
⢠The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
⢠The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's
⢠If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click Tools, click Internet Options,
click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled
under the security section.
I am connected to the internet, there isnât a typing error in the address,
the website isnât encountering problems, and I made sure SSL and TLS
protocols are enabled. The network diagnostic programme canât find anything
I've cleared the IE cache, reset IE settings, installed Windows updates,
reinstalled network drivers, updated network drivers, installed any
Vista-related drivers needed, run virus/spyware scans, Iâve tried disabling
TCP/IPv6, as suggested on another site, and Iâve tried to reset Winsock and
TCP/IP settings using the cmd prompt.
I even installed Firefox but the exact same thing happens. I can access the
internet no problem and can access websites, but then all of a sudden I get
the following page:-
The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
And, as with IE, Windows Live Messenger disconnects.
I just have no idea what to try next. I donât even know for sure what is
even causing it, so itâs hard to try and find a solution because I donât
really know what I am searching for!! Is it just yet another Vista blip? Is
it a simple network setting that I donât know about? What?
Please, if anyone has any ideas what could be causing this, can you let me

Vision Machine
By Pak Man Productions, Ltd.

"More than just a cautionary tale, Pak writes an entertaining and thrilling story as three friends face this new digital frontier together." -- Scott Cederlund, Newsarama

In the near future, three friends grapple with revolutionary change when Sprout Computers releases the iEye, a pair of glasses that allows you to effortlessly record, edit, and add special effects to anything you see -- and share it with the world. And then the other shoe drops...
The acclaimed 2011 sci fi graphic novel from writer Greg Pak ("Planet Hulk," "Robot Stories") and penciller R.B. Silva ("Superboy") has been transformed into a stunning multi-media app that revolutionizes the comics experience on the iPad with 3D and pinch-to-zoom interaction, gorgeous animation, a complete voice and music soundtrack, and live, real-world social features. The app include:

• Pinch-to-zoom on every panel and a 3D rotation feature for special pages, allowing deep exploration of the art.
• Full soundtrack including voice performances by Phil LaMarr ("Futurama," "Justice League") and Eisa Davis ("Passing Strange," "Robot Stories") and music by David Libby.
• Live Twitter stream option allowing for virtual panel discussions using the #VisionMachine hashtag.
• Embedded "MORE" and "IRL" buttons that provide extra information about the scenes you're reading.
• Fifty minutes of video extras, including an in-depth "Making Of" featurette and nine interviews with smart, funny people about the real-world ramifications of the story. Interviewees include internet superstar musician Jonathan Coulton, tech journalist Andy Ihnatko, and Duke University's Jennifer Jenkins discussing the digital revolution's effect on everything from copyright to artists' livelihoods to privacy and surveillance issues.
The Vision Machine app is a co-production of Pak Man Productions, Ltd. and the Independent Television Service, Inc. (ITVS) with funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Publication of the original Vision Machine graphic novel was made possible by support from the Ford Foundation.

Interesting story
Vision Machine toys with the technologic world we live in today by creating a graphic novel that is somewhat interactive. With a narrator reading the story to you, and different features to navigate with, the story is displayed in a much different fashion compared to reading from paper. The concept is a great one; however, this app is a bit rough. Some of the transitions lag, it is sometimes difficult to follow the story because of its choppy editing, and it gets a little boring after Part 1. Although the idea of this book is a great one, this specific app could use a little bit more work.
A fun and intuitive experience
I would definitely recommend this app to any who are interested in graphic novels or the dystopian genre. It makes you think twice about how some of the new technology coming out could affect our lives. The interactive consumption experience was also very enjoyable and added a nice twist to reading the story.
This was undoubtedly the most entertaining and engaging book/comic that I have read. This would seem obvious, seeing as the author very successfully incorporates sound, vision, and sight together to form a very impressive story. While I personally found the story to be somewhat dry, there is no doubt that this is something that could set the precedent for how stories will be told in the modern age

The Flushing Lunar New Year Parade celebrated the history and culture of Chinese and Korean residents, but that did not stop revelers of other backgrounds from coming out Saturday to ring in the Year of the Rabbit.
Milder temperatures helped draw thousands to downtown Flushing to see the floats, dancers and musicians march down 39th Avenue from Union to Main streets. Although it was one week after the actual start of the lunar new year, the parade-goers still enjoyed the sights and sounds of the festival.
"It's a pretty big deal," said Jason Wou, 22, of Washington, D.C., who was at the parade with his girlfriend, who lives in Flushing. "It's a good gesture for everyone to come together and share our similar culture."
Unlike the parade in Chinatown, the borough's event featured both Chinese and Korean groups marching together and observing their distinct traditions for the new year. Flushing's Korean population has grown tremendously over the years and has settled in the same area as their Chinese counterparts.
Steven Yee, 49, has been coming to the parade for years with his family and said the showcase of the two ethnic backgrounds makes the Flushing parade one of a kind.
"This seems to be bigger because it has the Korean culture and it's great," the New Hyde Park man said.
There were large floats with Asian artwork, confetti poppers and dancers dressed in traditional Chinese and Korean clothing. Annie Shin of Elmhurst, who has been marching in the parade for several years, said the event was special for her and other borough Asians because it takes place right outside their windows in Flushing.
"This is where we live, speak and come together," she said.
Young revelers were glad to see some of the fun marchers, including the dragon costumes and pop music performances.
Sophia Lee, 38, of Flushing, was delighted to see the Shaolin Monks come out and perform their kung fu moves.
"I really like the martial arts presentation," she said.
Among the 5,000 participants in this year's parade were non-Asian groups, such as the New York Mets and Italian-American and black groups from the borough. Dian Yu, the executive director of the Flushing BID, which helped organize the event, said he and his fellow planning staff wanted the 15th-annual celebration to be more inclusive.
"We wanted to create a platform where not only people can learn Asian culture, but we can learn about other cultures, too," he said.
Several non-Asian visitors to the area said they were impressed with the parade and how well it displayed the Chinese and Korean cultures.
"I think it is really interesting that it can be so vibrant in a location that is so far from their homes," Kyle Pearson, 31, of Brooklyn, said of the parade.

About Troop 187:
Troop 187 is one of 5 Boy Scout Troops in Fairfax City and one of 16 troops in the George Mason District, which also encompasses Vienna and Falls Church. The oldest Troop in Fairfax, Troop 187 dates back to the 1920's. As did most Troops, the original Troop disbanded during World War II.
Our current Troop was re-chartered on October 31, 1952. Click here to see our actual 1952 Charter.
Troop 187 maintains 50 to 60 Scouts and numerous registered adult leaders, and has one of the highest percentages of Eagle Scouts of any Troop in the National Capital Area Council. During the year 2010, when the Boy Scouts of America celebrates its 100-year anniversary, Troop 187 expects to celebrate its 100th Eagle Scout.
Troop 187 is sponsored by Fairfax United Methodist Church and the United Methodist Men, which provides financial support, a meeting place, and storage space.
Our Scouts participate in numerous service projects throughout the year, such as the annual Scouting for Food program that helps fill the food closet at FUMC, which in turn benefits low-income area families.
The goals of Troop 187 follow those of the Boy Scouts of America. Our mission is to prepare young people to assume citizenship responsibilities and make ethical choices over their lifetimes, and to enhance the development of their physical, mental, and emotional fitness.

Rocky Mountain Hotel near Whitewater Rafting and Colorado National Monument
Grand Junction is located at the spot where the Rocky Mountains meet the high desert, on the western slope of Colorado. The city's picturesque setting—studded with red-rock canyons and rushing rapids—appeals to a wide range of outdoor enthusiasts, who descend upon the rugged landscape year-round. The Grand Vista Hotel sits in the heart of this recreational hub near the Colorado National Monument, where bighorn sheep and golden eagles share the sandstone cliffs with hikers and bikers.
The area is well known for whitewater rafting on the Colorado and Green Rivers—guests of the Grand Vista Hotel can book an excursion that departs right from the hotel lobby. Afterward, unwind in one of the newly renovated standard guest rooms, which are outfitted with comfortable chairs and cable TV.
Oliver's Restaurant, located just off the lobby, serves a breakfast that includes scrambled eggs, waffles, and fruit from 5 a.m. to 11 a.m. daily. At the lively Bailey's Lounge, bartenders whip up a complimentary cocktail for each guest. The pub stays open until 11 p.m. on all night except Friday and Saturday, when it's open until 1 a.m., and hosts themed happy hours and karaoke nights.
Grand Junction, Colorado: Red-Rock Canyons and Outdoor Recreation in Colorado Wine Country
Grand Junction was incorporated in the 1880s as a frontier outpost along the railroad between Denver and Salt Lake City. Perched about 4,500 feet above sea level, the town lures outdoorsy types who come to whitewater raft the Class IV rapids of the Colorado River and mountain bike the challenging Kokopelli's Trail. To the east of Grand Junction lie the forests of Grand Mesa, and to the west, the red-rock canyons of Colorado National Monument. At the latter, the 23-mile-long Rim Rock Drive circumnavigates the vast canyon, offering aerial views and white-knuckle turns along sheer drop-offs. You might glimpse a desert bighorn sheep maneuvering the steep cliffs or a golden eagle soaring overhead.
When the snows falls, cross-country skiers and snowshoers head to the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison National Forests for picturesque, groomed trails. Powderhorn Mountain Resort is a local favorite, averaging 250 inches of snowfall per year across 63 trails.
Grand Junction is also a cultural hub. Head to Main Street to browse art galleries, shop at boutiques, and dine at independent restaurants. You'll notice the town's impressive collection of more than 100 outdoor sculptures lining the sidewalks. Thanks to its optimal grape-growing conditions, Grand Junction is also a critical part of Colorado's wine country. Throughout the Grand Junction area, there are more than 20 vineyards and wineries that serve samples of award-winning chardonnays and merlots.

In the traditional stonehouse we had a pleasant stay for 4 nights, a nice room with balcony, everything was alright. The house is in the village Germasogeia, a little outside of Limassol, but ther is the busline nr. 13 to connect with the city-center.
Thomas+Regine from Germany
We hebben genoten van ons verblijf in deze mooie traditionele woning in Germasogeia (Limassol). Onze gastvrouw Iro was super gastvrij en gaf ons regelmatig tips om ons verblijf te veraangenamen. De laatste avond adviseerde ze ons om naar een restaurant te gaan waar ook een feest gaande was. Die avond was onvergetelijk.
Als we thuis waren zaten we meestal onder de citroenboom. De tomaten aten we uit de tuin van Iro. Binnen 5 minuten waren we op de snelweg en de afstand naar het strand was slecht 7 kilometer.
Jeroen, Teresa, Els en Pieter
i just have good memories of the house, clean, cozy and quiet, comfortable to reach limassol and just one hour driving to Larnaca, Paphos Nicosia and Troodos mountains.
Near by you can find everything: Pharmacy, bakery, a little pub and a small supermarket.
The owner Iro, she's like an old friend, she's loves to help you with a lot of clues to visit the island and also to live the island like a resident.
Defiinitely i will advise her house to a friend that has plans to go to Cyprus.

Hey, Rob, drop the line!
Pssst! Rob McCord: Stop calling the state Treasury the "McCord Treasury." The state's treasurer, who some believe is near certain to run for governor, referred to the "McCord Treasury" six times in a recent interview (on KQV Radio). But it's not the "McCord Treasury" — it's the taxpayers' treasury.
McCord is a competent treasurer. He's professional and brings business savvy to the office. There has been a marked improvement in how the public is treated. Information and forms are easier to obtain. "Customer friendly" comes to mind.
McCord took office in January 2009. He was re-elected in 2012. Being on the statewide ballot twice is an advantage in the crowded field of Democrats seeking to defeat Republican Gov. Tom Corbett.
McCord is an Ivy Leaguer — Harvard and an MBA from the University of Pennsylvania. But he's not snooty.
"I think (McCord) is likely to run," says G. Terry Madonna, a political science professor at Franklin & Marshall College.
Other candidates include former Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Katy McGinty and U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz. Many, including Schwartz, think Schwartz is the favorite. Former state Revenue Secretary Tom Wolf might self-fund his campaign. John Hanger, another former DEP secretary, is working hard to be noticed. There are others, such as Lebanon County Commissioner Jo Ellen Litz, Max Myers, a former pastor from Mechanicsburg, and four or five question marks.
One question mark is former two-term Auditor General Jack Wagner. He's a former Pittsburgh City Council president and a state senator — fresh off losing the Democrats' mayoral primary.
Madonna considers McCord and Schwartz as the top tier, along with Wagner, if he jumps in. Wagner, like McCord, has won statewide office twice. McGinty, Wolf and Hanger are a tier below, he says.
While McCord's victories in two statewide races might give him some name recognition, keep in mind that they are extremely low-profile contests.
McCord "put together a strong campaign team — months after he was re-elected," says Keegan Gibson, managing editor of PoliticsPA. "And he filed a form with the Pa. Department of State to form a committee called 'McCord for Governor.'
"McCord has acknowledged that he is running in every private conversation McCord has had with party insiders," Gibson says. "All that's left is a public announcement."
McCord usually is politically savvy. But referring to the taxpayers' vault as the "McCord Treasury" is not good politics.

JUST AS CINCINNATI THOUGHT IT MIGHT LIVE DOWN the embarrassing Marge Schott affair came yet another specter of bigotry: taking advantage of a federal court decision that forced the city to permit a huge Hanukkah menorah in a public square, the Ku Klux Klan erected a tit-for-tat wooden cross nearby. Though this particular cross was not afire, its sponsorship by the hate group inflamed local opinion. A day before its erection, hundreds gathered in a candlelit protest. Hours after the appearance of the Klan krucifix, a pair of demonstrators toppled and trampled on it -- but the Klan had a new...

When President Obama's budget chief Peter Orszag left for Citigroup, it was one of the highest profile revolving-door cash-outs of the Obama administration.
Now Orszag is fighting in court for special protection against standard public records laws, which would ordinarily make public how much Citigroup is paying him.
Orszag is battling a host of media organizations, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, and Politico, over access to financial records that will be used as exhibits in his upcoming child-support trial in D.C. Superior Court.
Typically, documents in a civil-court proceeding are accessible to the public, but Orszag succeeded last year in quietly convincing a judge to seal financial records submitted in the case, including the salary he makes as a Citigroup vice president, from public view. In that request, Orszag worried that disclosure of his income might harm his career and "damage any eventual return to Federal Government service or other public office."
According to court documents, Orszag believes his ex-wife, Cameron Kennedy, will use the threat of public disclosure of his financials at trial as leverage to publicly embarrass him or persuade him to settle.
On a few points, I get Orszag's arguments:
1. In general, most people don't like their income being known. Is it really necessary in child-support cases that the parties' income and assets become open to the public?
2. He's probably right that his first wife – the mother of his first two children – could use the threat of exposing his salary, and the concomitant public opprobrium, as a way to extract from him a larger settlement than would be justified were he not a public figure.
But this second point reads to me like an argument why Orszag, more than the average person, should be subject to the public records laws. It suggests Orszag should be the last person to get special privacy rights.
Orszag is particularly sensitive to public disclosures of his wealth because he came into government with a liberal president who ran against the revolving door and positioned himself as a scourge of it and Wall Street. And Orszag, according to National Journal's report on his legal filings, is considering a return to government* after making lots of money at Citi. Presumably, Orszag would return to government in the employ of another left-leaning politician. And left-leaning politicians tend to rail against Wall Street, the wealthy and the revolving door.
So all the reasons it would embarrass Orszag to have his income exposed are the reasons why those concerned with honesty in government ought to want to know his income.
UPDATE 6:27 PM: Orszag's people email me that he's not planning to return to government, and more:
"Peter's sole motivation is to protect personal information in a family matter -- particularly that which involves his children. The Reporters Committee pulled one paragraph from a 39-page document out of context; Peter has no intention of returning to government service."

Today, I was going over some paperwork with my back to my office door. As I turn around, my boss enters and says my name loudly. I was startled so bad that I jumped, yelped, and a high-pitched fart snuck out. Everyone in the office now gives prior notice before dropping by the "fart guy's" office. FML
Today, I gave my boyfriend a box of chocolates as a present. A few hours later, he texted me saying that the box of chocolates contained nuts. He's allergic to nuts and his mother now thinks I'm trying to kill him. FML
Today, I texted a somewhat overweight girl I wanted to hook up with and asked her "Have you been dating anyone lately?" Unfortunately with predictive text, "dating" came out as "eating". I didn't realize it till after it sent. FML
