Hour GlassLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
With a 7-minute hourglass and an 11-minute hourglass, can you explain the quickest way to time a boiling egg for 15 minutes?
AnswerStart both hour glasses as the egg is dropped in the boiling water. When the sand stops running in the 7-minute hourglass, turn it over. When the sand stops running in the 11-minute hourglass, turn the 7-minute hourglass over and leave the 11-minute hourglass. When the sand stops in the 7-minute hourglass, 15 minutes will have elapsed.

Golf's Biggest Mistakes
Dustin Johnson's rules violation at the 2010 PGA Championship was just another in a long list of screw ups by professional golfers
(continued from page 2)
The Rules of Golf, the byzantine and serpentine set of regulations that govern the sport and define those who play it, were about to take a huge chunk out of Dustin Johnson's professional soul. Price, the head professional at the Bent Tree Country Club in Dallas, had been the walking rules official for Johnson's group, the final pairing on Sunday of the PGA Championship. Johnson was in a position to win, carrying a one-stroke lead to the final hole. Johnson, who Tiger Woods once described as "sick long," needed a par on the 18th hole to win the title. It would have been sweet redemption for his final round meltdown in the U.S. Open, where as the leader he fell apart the last day.
Johnson was long enough that he could have hit a 3-wood off the tee on the 500-yard 18th, but he went with his driver. He blew it way right, bringing into play the lattice work of bunkers that the devilish architect Pete Dye had strewn by the hundreds around the course.
When he got to his ball, some 30 yards to the right of the fairway, there was bedlam. The ball had come to rest in some sand, but neither Johnson nor his caddy thought it was a hazard. There were spectators standing in the sand, it was pot-marked with footprints, and Johnson just thought it was waste area, even though there was a clear definition of a bunker lip right in front of him. When he addressed his ball, he grounded his club behind it. He grounded it again. Then he hit a ball short of the green in the rough, pitched from there to 12 feet and had a putt he thought would win the championship for him. He missed it, tapped in for what he thought was a bogey and was now prepared for a play-off.
That's when Price came up to him. Price had heard in his earpiece that rules officials watching on television saw Johnson ground his club in the bunker. Price was told not to let Johnson sign his card for a 5 on the hole. Grounding his club was a two-shot penalty. Johnson was taken to the rules office where the shot was replayed and he saw that he had grounded his club. He was also told that, in accordance with a local rules issued to players at the start of the tournament, that any sand on the course was considered a hazard and that players would not be allowed to ground their clubs.
So instead of a bogey and a spot in the play-off with Bubba Watson and eventual champion Martin Kaymer, Johnson had to sign for a seven. Instead of his name being etched on the Wanamaker Trophy as a major champion, Dustin Johnson now goes down in infamy for committing one of golf's biggest rules blunders.
Johnson handled himself with dignity after the disaster.
"I just thought it was a piece of dirt that the crowd had trampled down," he said. "I never thought I was in a sand trap. It never once crossed my mind that I was in a bunker."
But what about those rules sheets that were taped to everyone's locker at the start of the week?
"Obviously I know the rules of golf and I can't ground my club in a bunker," he said. "Maybe I should have looked [at the] rules sheet a little harder."
Golf, unlike any other sport, is a game played by rules that are largely enforced by the players themselves. Any deliberate violation of the rules by a player will put a black mark by his name throughout his career.
During the 1925 U.S. Open, Bobby Jones addressed a ball in the rough, then saw it move ever so slightly. He called a one-shot penalty on himself as the rules require even though no one else saw it move. When he was complimented on his sportsmanship after the round, Jones replied: "You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank."
That line has become the very definition of golf sportsmanship and there are many examples of players calling penalties on themselves. In 1978 Tom Kite, playing in the Hall of Fame Classic in Pinehurst, soled his putter behind a ball, then saw the ball move a fraction of an inch. He called a one-shot penalty on himself. "If you don't play by the rules, you are not playing golf," said Kite. He lost the tournament by a stroke.
In the 2005 British Open at St Andrews, David Toms spent a sleepless night after the first round. He kept thinking that when he soled his putter on the 17th green, the ball had moved. If it had, he would have to call a penalty on himself. But he didn't. The next day he went to rules officials to inform them of the situation. The officials could not tell from a television replay whether the ball had moved, but Toms was so distressed by the situation that he withdrew from the tournament.
Dustin Johnson clearly wasn't the first player to run afoul of the rules, and run afoul of them in a major championship. There have been plenty of rules disasters over the years, some of them the result of the television age where viewers watching a broadcast have called in after spotting an infraction.
Here are nine more blunders that are part of golf's lore.
Roberto De Vicenzo
Roberto De Vicenzo, the accomplished and respected Argentinean, was one of the world's best players in the 1950s and '60s. In 1967 he won the British Open.
At the 1968 Masters De Vicenzo was in contention on Sunday, and when he made a birdie on the 17th hole, he tied Bob Goalby for the lead. After a par on the 18th, De Vicenzo went to the scorer's table thinking he would meet Goalby in an 18-hole play-off the following day.
He routinely signed his scorecard, which was kept by his playing partner Tommy Aaron. But Aaron had made an error, recording a par 4 on the 17th hole instead of the birdie 3 that De Vicenzo had made. The rules of golf don't penalize a player for signing for a higher score than he made, only a lower one, but it makes the higher score official. Once De Vicenzo, who failed to catch the erroneous digit, signed his card it became his final score. And he was officially out of the play-off, with Goalby the winner.
It was then than De Vicenzo uttered one of the most memorable lines in sport: "What a stupid I am."
Craig Stadler
Craig Stadler's rules contretemps at the 1987 Andy Williams San Diego Open ushered in the age of television viewer as rules monitor. Stadler's drive on the 14th hole of Torrey Pines finished underneath a tree. He figured the only way he could play the shot was from his knees. He also figured he didn't want to get his pants dirty. So he took the towel from his bag and placed it on the grass so that he could kneel on it. He played the shot and went on to finish the round in second place.
But a savvy and ambitious television viewer saw a violation and got through to the tournament rules officials. The viewer pointed out that the use of a towel was in violation of a rule that prohibits a player from "building a stance." Because he had done so, Stadler should have assessed himself a two-shot penalty. But he didn't and signed for a score that was two shots less. PGA Tour officials agreed that the towel was in violation of the rule and Stadler was disqualified from the tournament.
In 1995, Stadler was given his chance for revenge. The tree was to be taken down, and Stadler got the first cut.
Julie Inkster
Just a week after Dustin Johnson's blunder, LPGA veteran Julie Inkster had a brain cramp, another one witnessed by a television viewer.
Inkster was contending in the LPGA Safeway Classic at North Plains, Oregon, and was three shots out of the lead in the middle of the third round. There was a long backup on the 10th hole, so Inkster reached into her bag and took out a weighted training aid, attached it to her club and started swinging to stay limber. A television viewer called, saying that using a training aid during a round of golf was a rules violation, which indeed it is.
To confirm it, the LPGA called the USGA, which along with Royal and Ancient Golf Society of St Andrews governs the game, and a USGA official confirmed that it was indeed a violation of the rules. Use of a training aid during a round doesn't incur penalty shots, it's outright automatic disqualification.
Michelle Wie
Michelle Wie is the most famous female golfer of the new century, and also the most infamous. Wie has a career's worth of blunders in her first six seasons playing as a professional. She has been star-crossed by the rules of golf, though in truth they are all situations of her own making.
Michelle Wie is the most famous female golfer of the new century, and also the most infamous. Wie has a career's worth of blunders in her first six seasons playing as a professional. She has been star-crossed by the rules of golf, though in truth they are all situations of her own making.
How about being disqualified from her first tournament as a pro in 2005?
During the third round of the Samsung World Championship at Palm Desert, California, Wie hit a shot into a bush. After much deliberation about where to take a drop, for which she would incur a penalty of a shot for removing her ball from an unplayable lie, Wie's ball ended up in a spot closer to the hole. At least that's what Sports Illustrated reporter Michael Bamberger, who was following the group, thought. Though he did not inform rules officials until the next day. After Wie had apparently finished the tournament in fourth place, rules officials informed her of the possible violation.
In an extraordinary move, the officials went back to the scene of the alleged crime, used string to measure where the drop was taken after reviewing a television tape, and determined that she had dropped the ball three inches closer to the hole than would be allowed. Because she did, andbecause she didn't assess herself a two-shot penalty, she was disqualified.
That was the beginning of a series of rules violations, sort of golf's version of juvenile delinquency. At the 2006 British Women's Open, she was assessed a two-stroke penalty after play was completed when officials reviewing a videotape ruled that she had made illegal contact with moss in a bunker during her backswing. In 2008 she neglected to sign her scorecard after the second round of the State Farm Classic. The oversight wasn't discovered until the next day, and when it was, she was disqualified.
In March of this year, Wie was assessed a two-stroke penalty for grounding her club in a hazard during the Kia Classic at La Costa, California. She had driven the ball into the verge of a water hazard on the 13th hole. She had grounded her club, she said, to keep her balance before hitting the shot, which is not a violation. But a rules official who observed the situation didn't buy it and assessed her the penalty.
"It's Murphy's Law," she said afterward.

Hey AUP,
Do you mind posting how you got the rescue disc to recognize the hard drive via usb. Im afraid Im in the same boat you were.
To connect a hard drive into a USB port, you need an adapter or an external case.
I already have hooked up a usb cable (SATA connector) to the g560's stock hard drive, which is plugged into my g560. However I cannot get the recovery disc for truecrypt to recognize the hard drive connected to the USB port, hence me asking AUP how he was able to decrypt the hard drive while it was plugged into the USB port. Thanks!

Can someone please give me solution to this, namely AUP since he actually got this to work out. I have my internal stock g560 hard drive connected via usb (SATA to usb), I have bios enabled to boot from the usb. I can enter bios only when my hard drive is not connected to the g560's internal SATA connection. IE I cant do anything if its connected into the computer unless its via USB. When its connected to the USB i can get into windows recovery but it doesnt recognize any specific OS.
With that said I need the TRUECRYPT rescue disc to recognize the hard drive via USB so I can decrypt it. It doesnt recognize the USB connection and says to plug the HD into the internal SATA port, and theres no way to run the disc from windows recovery mode that i know of. Im waiting on the Computer recovery Disks that are coming from Lenovo this next week. What do I do from here?!!?!?
Connect that disk into a desktop PC and run recovery disk from there.

Should I connect the hard drive to the internal SATA in the PC and run the truecrypt disk from Startup? I took it to Geek Squad today b/c I got tired of messing with it and they turned me down. Sigh, Need the help. Thanks guys!
This is a problem with the Insyde BIOS. See similar issue with HP products (link below). I had had to install the hard disk to a different laptop with a different bios...it booted fine, decrypted hard drive (took 8 hours), reinstalled on the G560- booted fine- but now left with no encryption options. Tried Trucrypt and PGP desktop- same issue with both...
Lenovo, use a better BIOS!
I think that the problem is the default boot mode (UEFI). But I'm not sure.
Another one with the problem... just did a full disk encryption with truecrypt, the test boot passed fine but after finishing and rebooting I cant even get Bios options or Boot Options. As seen from the previous posts I ripped out the HD and put it on my Toshiba where Ive booted in from the resque disk and im now waiting...
Lenovo really needs to look into this and offer a Bios upgrade or something, its ridiculous not being able to have any encryption options.

Makes all kinds of sense. Murphy would be the perfect 4 next to Shaq... rebounds, stretches the floor, perfect.
Z is an ideal mentor for Roy, and gives us a real Center rotation. Plus he's off the books after this season.
Hickson is a young prospect at PF. I don't know if he fits the Rush/Granger/Hibs core, but he fits it better than Murphy!
What's not to like?

If you plan your vacations and weekend jaunts around food, here are two glitzy culinary showcases to consider, both in Monterey County:
Pebble Beach Food & Wine: It's hard to believe this is only the iconic golf resort's sixth annual gourmet fest. Seems like we've been hearing about the Pebble Beach Food & Wine celebration for eons, probably because it draws such huge names. This year's festivities run from April 4-7 with demonstrations and dinners from more than 250 winemakers and 100 chefs, including Daniel Boulud, Grant Achatz, Dominique Crenn and Charles Phan. Tickets for Pebble Beach range from $100 for a single event to $4,750 for a four-day VIP pass that gets you into the after-parties, too. The event benefits the Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County and other philanthropic causes. Details: www.pbfw.com.
Cooking for Solutions: The Monterey Bay Aquarium is renowned for its jellies, sharks and other aquatic exhibits, of course, but it's also famous for its sustainable seafood programs, including Cooking for Solutions, a three-day showcase that features chefs, winemakers and craft brewers. The event, which runs May 17-19, includes a lavish opening gala, a street food fest, and food and wine adventures with chefs such as Chris Cosentino, Cindy Pawlcyn and Richard Blais. Tickets range from $50 for the smaller events to $180 for the gala and $225 for the food and wine adventures. (Psst, if you get a membership to the aquarium, those tete-a-tetes with Pawlcyn and her colleagues are just $175; the opening gala is $150.) Details: www.montereybayaquarium.org.

CSS - Test Your CSS Skills Number 39 - dropdown arrows: Quiz now ended: Solution in post #32
On my CSS "wishlist" is the "parent selector" that would give you the ability to style the parent of a child using the child as the reference. Or similarly the ability to style a parent element based on the child element that it contains. Alas there is no such thing in CSS - yet.
That's all well and good but where is that leading us?
In this quiz I will be asking you to perform the above feat in some respects in that I want you to automatically add indicator arrows to show that the item contains a dropdown menu. Essentially if a list element contains a dropdown menu then show an arrow.
It may be easier to look at the attachment first so you can get an idea of what I am talking about.
Are you back yet? Good lets begin.
You can see that the arrow is only showing on elements that contain dropdowns which is a good visual aid and helps differentiate between elements that don't have dropowns attached.
The puzzle is to add these arrow icons automatically so that if the menu items are changed and flyouts removed or added to different items then the indicator arrows would automatically reflect this change without the need to change any css or html.Also the arrow should change colour when items are hovered as shown in the attachment.You can use your own css but the html between the body tags must remain untouched.

To save you re-inventing the wheel you can find basic css for dropdowns from the original [suckerfish site, or from one of [URL="http://www.pmob.co.uk/temp/drop-down-basic-good.htm"]my old demos, or perhaps even from Jason's (Deathshadow) clever [URL="http://www.cutcodedown.com/codeExamples/menuDemo/template.html"]overflow version](http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/).
There are always rules
[B]Must work in IE8+ and modern Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Opera (don't bother with ie7 and under).
Assume that only three levels of menus exist as per the attachment (any more than that is nonsense anyway most of the time).
Remember that the menu order could change and the flyouts added or removed so you can't rely on sub menus being the third element along or down etc ( e.g. this won't work li + li + li{}). You must make your code cope automatically.
Valid html and css (css2.1 or 3) (but I am also interested in non valid approaches if its interesting).
No scripts of any kind (unless you want to add support for IE7 and under because you found this quiz too easy).
You can use whatever CSS rules you like but the html must be untouched and no extra elements added.[/B]
I think that covers everything but if anything is still unclear or I have made an error in my logic then just shout. The winner won't necessarily be the first correct one I receive (but the first entry always gets a big mention and may indeed be the preferred solution).
Remember this is just for fun and there are no prizes. Your reward will be knowing how smart you are.Don't post your answers in this thread but PM with the details instead so that all can have a go.
Have fun.

Oh looks interesting, good thing I got a free weekday tomorrow!
Nice one!PM sent
Wow that was quick I have a correct entry from Remon already (ScallioXTX). Well done Remon:)
Anyone else close yet?
I'm Sure Timo (YuriKolovsky) will have a correct solution soon also
What the...? that was quick! I have a free day on Wednesday so I definitely give it a try
Thanks Nuria
Whee! I finally managed to crack one of these quizzes (I hope ). Solution PMed.
I had an idea for a solution yesterday morning, but got stuck playing shogun2 (damn those addicting games), will post it today after work if it (hopefully) works.
I have correct solutions now from ralph.m and Dresden_phoenix. Well done to both and thanks for taking part.:)
You lot are getting too clever now so I'll have to think up something more dastardly next time
Anyone struggling? I'll give hints in a couple of days if you are.
Unlike some of my other quizzes this one will produce a useful snippet of code that you can add to your own dropdown menus by default and automate the process of adding arrow indicators where needed.
Yes, I was thinking I'd be able to use this in real world examples from now on. Nothing really lost if older browsers don't support it.
done the method I thought of initially worked just fine.
p.s. don't bother with ie7 and under gives it away
Well done Timo I knew you would do it
If you wanted an extra challenge you could add an "expression" for IE7 and under to mimic the CSS method.
I really don't like expressions, I would rather make it work with bare javascript.
Normally i'd say yes but if you use a once only expression then it can be quite neat. See this thread for a good example.
We have another correct solution form CletusSpuckler (Johan) so well done and thanks for taking part :).
Good to see that we have some proficient coders in the forum and thanks to all that took part. The quiz will stay open until the weekend and then I have a another little one to post for next week to keep the momentum going.
what!? there are once-only expressions?
I got it.... but then I don't have it... I got it working but I need to work out how to let those arrows at the top always visible!
I think that I'm going to read DS60's overflow method and see if I can work it out using some other technique.
lol - you won.... and then you lost
See here for more info.
completely... but hey, it is another way to say that I obviously didn't follow the right approach.

i dont know this person, but IMO, if you get a warning on player conduct during the round and you do it more then you should be punished. After the tourney is over, his mouth shouldve gotten him in trouble but not had any bearing on how he finished during the tourney, where technically he wouldnt be punished since the violation(s) either didnt happen again or werent brought up as a problem.
Guy sounds like a dick fwiw, and maybe this is a good thing for him, im just not sure im ready to advocate post round penalties for things that are only a violation during a game (not 100% clear on this btw, so if im incorrect then i apologize). Should he have talked to TD or anyone for that matter like he was, no. But surely there is another means of reprimand. Like a ban on future events or something along those lines.

- How to Read a Study Record
In our previous research, we have shown that women that have breast cancer have a population of lymphocytes that recognizes specific antigen and there cytoplasmic matrix goes through physical change a short time after exposure in vitro to the same antigen. This change can be measured by polarization changes of fluorescent light emitted by FDA (fluorescein diacetate) labeled cells. Further test that we performed showed that those differences are also shown in a benign situation that known as indicator for a high risk for developing breast cancer within 10-15 years. The incidence of the expression of these lymphocytes correlates with the histopathological picture as it is related in high risk for the developing the disease.
In this work we will expand the scope of the procedure to early detection of the cancerous process in breast lesions by Fitzgibbon's risk categories for the development invasive carcinoma of the breast. In the proposed work we intend to use specific antigen MUC1 for breast cancer. This study is a continuation of our published work in the "The Breast "

Marion Cotillard Oscars hair: step-by-step tutorial from her stylist
How-To: Marion Cotillard's Oscars Hair
The belle Marion Cotillard is sitting pretty right now. Her Oscar win means that we'll be seeing a lot more of this Gallic gal, and considering that she's as stylish as she is talented, that's a good thing for all of us. Last night, she looked softly stunning; I especially loved how her soft, flowing curls framed her face. Stylist Robert Vetica for Frederic Fekkai gave me the scoop on how he created this look.
"Marion changes her look a lot simply because I think she can," he said of his inspiration. "Her beauty lies in the spirit with which she carries herself. You look at her and want to get to know her." For this award-worthy style, he gave Marion a modern take on Veronica Lake's iconic waves. For his tips on recreating the look at home,
- Step one: First, apply a protective styling serum or spray to give hair shine and hold; Robert used Fekkai Coiff Shape and Set Mist ($28) on Marion.
- Step two: Blow-dry hair smooth in the desired direction. In Marion's case, Robert gave her a deep left part. The left side was blown away from her face and from that same part, it was dried side to front on the right side.
- Step three: Take a 3/4-inch barrel curling iron, and create sections around the perimeter of the head at the neck. Start curling on the left, behind the ear, working around the back.
- Step four: When you get to the front, curl the hair front and sideways towards the back. Robert's tip: "To really achieve this loose wave, curl big sections." Finish with hairspray; Robert used Fekkai Coiff Fini Sheer Hold ($23) on Marion's hair.

Maholm extends scoreless streak to 14 2/3 innings
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Count Braves left-hander Paul Maholm among the many Major Leaguers who would not object to the regular season starting this upcoming week. Maholm extended his recent success by allowing just two singles over six scoreless innings in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Yankees at Champion Stadium.
Since allowing five runs in 2 2/3 innings against the Phillies on Feb. 28, Maholm has worked 14 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings. Things are going so well that he ended Saturday's outing with a 59-mph eephus pitch that Ben Francisco looked at for strike three.
"That last pitch, I think he just made that one up at the end," manager Fredi Gonzalez said.
After struggling through the start against the Phillies and issuing four walks in 3 2/3 innings against the Yankees on March 5, Maholm focused on finding comfort by slowing down his delivery. His efforts have proved beneficial as he tossed five scoreless innings against the Nationals' regular lineup on Monday and then extended his success through Saturday's outing against a split-squad Yankees lineup.
"You can feel great in the spring, and then all of a sudden, game time gets here and it all goes [away]," Maholm said. "I'm going to work in between and try and get the rhythm and feeling and carry it over as long as I possibly can."

27 April 2012
The Tigers announced yesterday that Brandon Inge has been given an unconditional release, and that Brad Eldred's contract had been purchased from the minor leagues. I think this move was more about Eldred's power and the need for runs than it was about simply letting Inge go due to his underperformance, but someone had to get the boot. Inge hadn't produced with the bat in quite some time, and his case for a roster spot certainly wasn't helped by Miguel Cabrera's better-than-anyone-could-have-dared-to-dream transition to third base.
I'm sad to see Inge go because he did have a valuable career here in Detroit for many years (about 2.0 WAR/600 PA which is about what you'd expect from an average starter), but I don't think anyone can argue that it was probably time for everyone to move on.
So the Tigers will look to Brad Eldred, the slugging 32 year old first baseman/designated hitter, to try to provide the offense with a boost. But what should we expect to see from the man who dinged 13 home runs in 20 games this year in Toledo?
The biggest issue I see in Eldred's game is his walk rate.
At a glance it's concerning to see his 26.8% strikeout rate. That number is indeed alarming and will likely not translate well against major league pitching, but it's not uncommon for a player with massive power to strike out a lot. The poster child for big power and big strikeout numbers is probably Adam Dunn (even while he was still good), who has struck out in 27.7% of his MLB plate appearances. Dunn has been a great power hitter for many years but, even though he can swing and miss with the best of them, he has a discerning eye that allows him a ton of walks. Dunn routinely posts on-base percentages that are more than 100 points better than his batting average (his career OBP is .130 higher than his career batting average) – he's done this using a 16.2% career walk rate.
Eldred's walk rate isn't on the same planet. For his minor league career, he's walked in only 7.3% of his plate appearances. That number isn't terrible on its own – it's only about 1% less than MLB average and it's still allowed him a pretty good .336 minor league OBP – but it's an indicator that he could see huge struggles against major league pitching. Because that strikeout rate coupled with that walk rate doesn't mean he's striking out because he simply taking big cuts (like perhaps Dunn's does), it suggests he's also striking out because he's swinging at mostly anything.
This becomes a huge issue when taking the big jump from AAA to the major leagues. If the guy can't discern balls and strikes from minor leaguers, how is he going to do it against the best pitchers in the world? And how is he going to keep slugging if he can't make contact?
That's been the problem for Eldred in his three brief stints in the major leagues. The walk rate had dropped to 5.7%, the strikeout rate jumped to 36.5%, and his OPS fell from his minor league average of .883 to just .678.
His slugging numbers still look fine when you factor in the elevated whiff rate. He has 15 MLB home runs to his name in his 282 plate appearances, so the ball is still jumping off his bat when he makes contact. So there's no doubt that he has big league power, but the question remains as to whether he has a big league eye.
So perhaps the Tigers will snatch a home run or two out of his bat before he inevitably gets designated for assignment, but I wouldn't go around expecting a 32 year-old career minor leaguer to suddenly discover plate discipline.
I'm excited to see what Eldred can do for the team with his power potential, but I can't help feeling that perhaps Ryan Strieby (more walks, fewer strikeouts, but less power) would be a better choice for the team.

Last Thursday 26th September was National Wear a Tea Cosy on Your Head Day.
It was a great day; we baked, drank tea and looked suitably daft for the day.
Our shops sold White Stuff branded tea cosies and held tea parties with the support of their local charities. Tea Horse provided us with some lovely loose leaf tea to drink in our shops and Tunnocks sent us hundreds of their tea cakes for us to scoff.
In Head Office we held the first ever White Stuff bake off. The lovely Holly from design was our winner with the amazing 'fashion cake' Beautiful (and delicious too).
You lot tweeted and Instagrammed about the event with the #teacosy and we received some great entries into our Mugshots competition. Congratulations to Hilary from Great Chishill Royston who won with her adorable picture 'Tea with Daisy May'
Thank you! With your support we raised over £28k for disadvantaged children and young people in the UK.

My father got into computers 20 years after he died," claims Esta Cassway. "I was not particularly a believer in spirits," says the local painter, lyricist and writer. That is, until 1992, when her father's restless spirit, apparently relishing its afterlife, began interfering with her work.
"I had been asked by Aronson Publishers to write and illustrate a two-volume set of the Hebrew Bible for children," she explains. "It was a wonderful opportunity to integrate my art, writing and poetry into a fresh approach for the stories. A month or so into the project, as I was typing a poem about Jacob and the Stranger, flowery, grandiloquent words suddenly appeared on the screen. Ididn't write those words, but somehow, I knew who did. 'Daddy,' I protested, 'this is my book, not yours!' This was the first time he had tackled a word processor. Later on, he became adept at the computer — changing, deleting or correcting mistakes of time and place. He was communicating from wherever, still traveling from somewhere — a traveling man in death as he had been in life."
Cassway's latest book, Ghost Daddy, credits Edward S. Arkow "with his spirited assistance." It's a humorous, poignant memoir, lavishly illustrated with Cassway's youthful drawings and Arkow's captioned photographs, many of which feature himself — a glamorous man who would have been at home in the Hollywood of the 1930s. He favored breeches and boots, à la Cecil B. de Mille, and resembled Douglas Fairbanks Jr., whom he often imitated. Both had British accents. Arkow died in 1970, seven years after his wife, Rebecca, a tall and elegant beauty. "She was only 49; I was a young bride of 22 when she passed away," says Cassway.
Thinking back to those days, she recalls a very ghostly experience involving her father. "Perhaps," she speculates, "it was my first encounter with his genial spirit." It occurred a few years after his death. "I had just sold one of my paintings and used the profits to purchase bronze memorial plaques for my parents at our synagogue. Their names would be announced at services on their Yahrzeits. That night, at 10:45 p.m., the exact time of my father's death, a shadow appeared on the long mirror diagonally across from my bed. Without thinking, I said, 'You're welcome.' " Her husband, the architect Robert Cassway, asked her who she was talking to. "I tried to explain that I had just addressed the grayish image of a ghost."
In Ghost Daddy, Cassway writes about some unexplained events that convinced others that her father was a real, well, spirit. The most visible of these happened on Dec. 24 at Cape May Point, where the Cassways have a summer cottage. "It had been closed for the season," relates Cassway. "All the electricity had been shut off and the plugs unplugged. I was asleep in our Wyncote home when the phone woke me. It was our only neighbor on the street at the shore who called to say that the house was lit up like a Christmas tree. But by the time the policeman showed up, the house had returned to its darkened state. Nevertheless, a police report was filed. The fact that Dec. 25 is Dad's birthday convinced me that he wanted to be remembered on his special day." His daughter begged him to hold off on future public displays. And apparently, he listened. For a while.
"Ghost Daddy documents what I remember as our entertaining and colorful life together," says Cassway. "Imagining my father's voice was easy; talking back to him, something I never needed to do in real life, flowed naturally due to a mature understanding of the underlying flaws that rarely pierced his poetic, cheerful exterior. Though I was occasionally saddened by the evolving story, creating this book was great fun."
Cassway was motivated to write the memoir for two main reasons. "I started making artwork when I was 3," she says. "I am grateful for my artistic talents and I wanted to know how I got them. I kept looking for clues among the stashes of old photographs, many of them taken by my father, who never really knew his own origins. He always had a Kodak slung across his chest, documenting his life. It's not so different from the kids today with their iPhones. Dad taught me and my younger brother Phil, who is also a writer and a musician, to appreciate all forms of music, from classical to jazz to opera, and especially lyrics. Dad sometimes resembled Toscanini and could play Rachmaninoff and Chopin. Yet he never had any training. He knew Yiddish songs, show tunes and opera and sang with gusto. He taught me performance skills and we often appeared together in local concerts."
Besides wanting to give her father his own byline, Cassway needed to know more about her heritage. "I wanted to write this book as a way of finding my roots and understanding the basis of my father's myriad talents, and by extension, my own."
As a young husband, her father worked as display director for Gimbel's department store. Later, he began his own company selling fiberglass snowflakes and other decorations for store windows, which launched his peripatetic life on the road as a traveling salesman. Cassway, who grew up in Logan, went to Olney High, won a scholarship to the Philadelphia College of Art and then graduated from Tyler School of Art. Her brother graduated from the University of Pennsylvania on a full scholarship. "Phil did a lot of the research for this book by looking up birth records," she says. "Like my father, he is very smart and can do a weekend New York Times crossword puzzle in 10 minutes. And like my father, he has traveling in his genes."
In the years it took Cassway to complete the book, she was able to create an accompanying artistic and unusual website, http://estacassway.wordpress.com. It includes vintage pictures, many ghostly happenings and several nostalgic recordings of her father playing classical music and singing.
Now that the book has been published, has the spirited Eddie Arkow gone quietly into the night? Cassway answers: "Last December, I was lying in bed thinking, 'Hey, Daddy, it's almost your birthday and I haven't had any sign of you since I finished the book.' About a week later, at 10:45 p.m., there were seven very loud bangs on the bathroom wall. Nothing was near that wall — no pipes, ice-makers, or people dancing around upstairs. I ran into the living room, dragged my husband into the bathroom, and tried to imitate the seven knocks using a hammer. He dismissed them as a mystery. The number 7 nagged at me until Christmas Eve, when, in a flash, I had the answer. I did the math twice to be sure, and guess what? Eddie Arkow would have been 107 years old on Dec. 25, 2011!"
And just last month, her father made his final appearance. Cassway relates the following story: "On the day that the Ghost Daddy public relations campaign began, I was sitting at my computer when photos of grandchildren, paintings and a moving collage of my life began rolling and flashing across the computer screen. I sat there laughing; there was no order to it, just a grand celebration. The only way to stop it was to shut it off. (My tech guy later checked it out: nothing amiss.) "I imagined Daddy saying, 'Now that I'm officially in the cloud, it's your turn. This, darling, is your life!' "

Americas CFO Hot Topics
Sustainability: broadening the CFO's role
More than green: sustainability is an economic driver.
Sustainability impacts almost every function of an organization, spans the entire value chain and can't be relegated to the sustainability function alone. It helps companies make money, save money and manage risk – items at the top of the CFO's to-do list.
Expanding the CFO role
Sustainability has broadened the CFO's role, particularly when it comes to the risks associated with sustainability:
- Strategic
- Operational
- Financial
- Reputational
- Compliance
A challenge facing CFOs is to ensure that tax directors and sustainability officers are in regular communication. Getting tax involved early in the sustainability-strategy planning process can help companies succeed financially, particularly in a resource-constrained economy. From planning to executing initiatives, tax and sustainability must work together.
Sustainability – find out more
A CFO's role to manage risk in a resource-constrained world. [See a transcript of this video]
What every CFO should know about sustainability:
- Non-financial reports are becoming as important as financial reports.
- Three areas of non-financial information that companies report on are environmental, social and governance (ESG).
- Carbon taxes are becoming increasingly prevalent. It's vital to get Tax involved to plan for property, sales, value-added and consumption energy taxes.
- More and more stock exchanges around the world are requesting or requiring sustainability reporting; companies that don't report must explain why not.
- A lot of non-financial information – including sustainability information – is included in the Bloomberg Terminals already. They report on more than 100 sustainability indicators, and if you don't report them, industry averages will be put in for you.
Reputation: online and on the line
Sustainability affects reputation. Reputation affects the bottom dollar. Quickly. Through social media, a local sustainability incident can spark global concern once it hits the internet. For example, human rights issues due to conflict mineral mining in the Democratic Republic of the Congo – once largely regionalized – are now a global concern.
Incidents can sway stakeholder sentiment or consumer preference and can cause losses, regardless of materiality or responsibility. Also, employees increasingly seek employers whose values reflect their own. How do they find out? Sustainability reporting, which discloses organizational values.
Manage resource risk. Now.
In a recent EY-GreenBiz survey, 51% of respondents saw natural-resource shortages as posing a real risk to their business within three to five years. But only 30% are actually doing any sort of scenario planning and modeling. So they're not really addressing sustainability risk.
CFOs play a key role in managing risk in a resource-constrained environment. Understand what natural resources are requisite for your business and operations, and develop actionable plans to make sure that those resources will be available for you in the long run.

You can encourage fort building by putting aside blankets, tarps and string for them to use.
Ideas for outdoor forts include:
Find three long sticks and tie them at one end to form a tripod.
Look for a spot where four trees form a square. Place the tripod in the middle.
Tie a rope about three feet from the ground around the four trees so it forms a square.
Then bring the corners out to the place where the string connects the trees.
Clothespin the blanket to the string.
This will make your fort more comfortable.
Put down a plastic sheet on the ground if you want to avoid getting a damp bottom.
But if you want to use this opportunity as part of a wildlife discussion, consider printing our "Show Me Shelter" Nature Notebook activity, which gives fort building ideas and encourages your child to draw a picture of their fort.
Fort building can also be the inspiration for your family to provide cover for wildlife, which is one of the four qualifications for a Certified Wildlife Habitat.

Software makeover delivers speed to mail company
Has a piece of software ever been responsible for doubling your company's growth rate?
Mail delivery service Mailplus says it achieved growth of 24 per cent and 20 per cent in the past two years, up from an average growth rate of 9.6 per cent, after adopting new software.
Chief executive Chris Burgess is adamant the growth was due to a decision his company made three years ago to abandon two disjointed business applications in favour of one.
Revenue is expected to be about $24 million in the financial year to June 30, up from $20.5 million in the previous year.
Mailplus is an Australian mail delivery service known as "first and last mile". The company's 150 franchisees run their own businesses ferrying parcels between regular customers and Australia Post on daily runs.
Franchisees canvas, sign-up and bill small business clients nationally – something that Burgess says became nearly impossible to do using the company's nine-year-old bespoke systems, originally built on FileMaker and MYOB.
"Filemaker and MYOB weren't keeping up. We were getting complaints from franchisees that the system was crashing all the time. We like to provide transparency to the franchisees, so they aren't calling us every five minutes," Burgess said.
Previously, the process from prospecting to signing up a client could take weeks. His annual software maintenance bill alone was $100,000. Now, he says, it takes just a few days.
By transparency, Burgess means allowing franchisees to tap into the company's customer relationship management (CRM) system and interact with invoicing and sales applications, including contracts, remotely.
They can now do that using an iPad and iPhone application integrated with the cloud-based Netsuite financial and ERP software used to run the entire business.
Franchisees use the mobile devices to receive leads from head office, update the customer database to aid telemarketers, as well as produce electronic contracts for customers to sign.
Although he says newer versions of his old software might have provided some or similar functionality, the company needed to segment individual franchisee accounts and allow them to manage those accounts remotely. Salesforce was also considered as a replacement option.
"Being a franchisee business, we need a point of difference in the marketplace. We believe our software is that. People are genuinely impressed by the way they can interact with our business and head office."
He says reorganising all business processes around the new system has allowed the company to achieve scale and sign-up more new customers with the same staff count.
Burgess says the company is ready to take on a partner to extend its services, but wouldn't reveal which company. It plans to start selling products such as pre-paid and pay-on-delivery satchels to non-account holders in partnership with another courier or postal service.
"We are now looking to optimise the mobile technology to work as a mobile point-of-sale [terminal]."
The parcel delivery system is burgeoning worldwide on the back of exponential growth in online shopping.
Australia Post has already re-engineered its business to capitalise on that growth and make up for falling letter-delivery revenue. It is counting on the launch of a digital mailbox service and 24-hour parcel lockers as part of a $2 billion strategy to future-proof the company.
Last month, it purchased Qantas' 50 per cent stake in StarTrack freight business.
"Australia Post are trying to maintain their market share because there is an enormous amount of value, increasing every year – they are optimising their business to be a parcel delivery business. It's a significant shift in logistics. We're well-placed to be that first and last-mile partner," Burgess says.
He is hoping to eventually secure up to 15 per cent market share among small business customers, up from the current estimated two per cent.

Why Gold Keeps Falling Despite Stimulus
The price of gold is falling despite quantitative easing and other stimulus programs from central banks around the world, leaving many gold bulls disappointed. Since the yellow metal is considered a store of value and protection against inflation, how is it possible that gold is falling as the money supply rises?
One common definition of inflation is "too much money chasing too few goods." However, it would be an oversimplification to state that money-printing, for lack of a better term, leads to inflation and therefore leads to appreciation in the prices of stores of value such as gold....477 more words left in this article.

Officials say safety's been high, though water levels are low
Lake-related deaths are down this year, and officials on the state and local levels hope it stays that way.
In 2012, state data shows seven people drowned in Lewisville Lake and one in Ray Roberts Lake. It was the deadliest year Denton County has had since 2008, when eight people also drowned.
Troy Taylor, chief death investigator for the county, said of the seven drownings the medical examiner's office has investigated this year, only two were at major lakes. The third, Taylor said, was at Unicorn Lake in Denton after an elderly woman fell into the body of water.
Since 2004, 33 people have drowned in the two major lakes in Denton County. More than 81 percent of the deaths occurred at Lewisville Lake, data shows. According to statistics obtained from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, 42 percent of the deaths were from boat accidents.
Capt. Kevin Brule said the Lewisville Fire Department's dive team has responded to only one drowning-related death this year but will be out all Labor Day for the last major boating weekend of the season. At press time, divers were searching for a 33-year-old Mesquite man who was listed as missing late Friday from a two-tiered pontoon boat on Lewisville Lake.
"It's been a good year, a safe year," Brule said. "I just hope it stays that way over the long weekend."
The Lewisville dive team consists of several firefighters trained to be able to handle water-related emergencies across the county, he said.
Ensuring safety for lakegoers is one of the factors officials say has led to the ongoing decrease this year.
The Denton County Sheriff's Office and other area agencies will be out patrolling county lakes during the holiday weekend as part of "Operation Safe Lake," and the increased presence on the water this year has helped, officials said.
The county handled 114 boat safety inspections, three citations, seven written warnings, one arrest for boating while intoxicated, one special event and nine calls for service during the four-day Fourth of July weekend — the last big countywide enforcement weekend, Chief Sheriff's Deputy Randy Plemons said.
In 2012, out of the seven boating accidents that occurred, four people died as a result, records show.
After an accident, state officials say it doesn't take long for someone to drown.
Statistics show drowning can occur in less than two minutes, and most children who drown are away from their parents for less than five minutes, said Lt. Cody Jones, Texas Parks and Wildlife marine enforcement game warden.
State research has shown that drowning victims usually don't scream for help or splash around a lot before going under, he said.
Denton County officials said they haven't seen as much activity on the lakes as last year because fewer boaters have been on the lakes.
The decrease in water levels are a contributing factor, sheriff's spokeswoman Sandi Brackeen said.
In 2012, both Lewisville and Ray Roberts lake levels stayed above 90 percent capacity for most of the summer, according to Texas Water Development Board data.
As of Saturday, Lewisville Lake and Ray Roberts Lake are 67.5 percent and 80 percent full, respectively.
According to state records, of the 33 drownings since 2004, only three people who died were wearing safety gear.
That factor is not only a local issue, but something the nation as a whole is facing, officials said. Of victims who drown in boating accidents nationwide, 85 percent were not wearing life jackets.
Johnny Peters, a lake patrol deputy with the sheriff's office, said a life jacket is the most valuable item a person can have when near any body of water.
"If a child is not wearing a life jacket, I will pull your boat over," Peters said in a recent interview. "They are not only lifesaving for you as an adult but for a child as well."

At Three Tarts in Chelsea, everything has a touch of whimsy, hot steamers ($4) included. Instead of the usual shot of vanilla or other flavored syrup, the steamers here come topped with your choice of two housemade marshmallows. I tried a variety of marshmallow flavors (which change seasonally), including strawberry-basil, yuzu, and raspberry. But my favorite for the steamer is the sweet mango, which melts right into the steamer for a creamy, fruity finish. The ideal pairing? A tiny two-bite sweet ($1.70) featuring glazed kumquats nestled in a tart with frangipane filling.

Buxton flashes power with first spring homer
DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Byron Buxton's first stint in big league camp may be winding down, with a round of Spring Training roster cuts potentially coming soon. But he said Saturday that he's become more comfortable in big league camp the last week or so, and he looked the part at the plate in the third inning Saturday afternoon at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium.
Buxton, the top prospect in baseball, swatted his first homer of the spring to left-center field off Toronto right-hander Drew Hutchison, driving in Max Kepler and giving Minnesota a 2-0 lead. While the center fielder is often praised for his game-changing speed -- he stole 55 bases in 125 Minor League games last season -- the deep shot into the trees was a reminder that he also possesses considerable power at the plate.
The 20-year-old Buxton said the homer was just a matter of putting a good swing on a hanging slider, but Twins manager Ron Gardenhire called it a "big home run." Buxton hit 12 homers to go along with 19 doubles and 18 triples between Class A Cedar Rapids and Class A Advanced Fort Myers in 2013, giving him a .520 slugging percentage on the year.
Buxton entered Saturday's game hitting .143/.143/.214 this spring and finished the day 1-for-5 with a strikeout. He played for the second day in a row Saturday, as Gardenhire said he wanted to see as much of his talented young players as possible before they're sent over to Minor League camp.
"We're getting pretty close to deadlines on player movement and all those things, and I don't want to take any chances of not getting at least a look at them and letting them have some at-bats," Gardenhire said. "If they ask me to send them out or something like that, get them back over there where they're playing every day, I want to have my look at them. The only way I can do that is play them.
"I'm getting to know them a little bit, getting to see them play firsthand rather than somebody else's reports. That's it. Expectations? None. I just let them play and see what happens."
Buxton said he knows that he hasn't established himself quite yet, and he wants to cut down on his strikeouts, get on base more often and put himself in position to score more runs. More than anything, though, Buxton is just hoping to soak up as much of the experience as he can in his first Major League Spring Training.
"I just like coming out here and seeing a lot of competition, trying to see what I need to improve on and get myself better at," Buxton said. "That's what I'm still working on here. I'm going to keep working hard."
