It's the most misleading stat in hockey, but it's always startling to see a guy so deep in red ink.
When 21-year-old centre Max Reinhart received a summons to join the Calgary Flames last weekend, he was saddled with an ugly minus-26 rating with the AHL's Abbotsford Heat, easily the worst line of all the call-up candidates.
Through five games with the Flames, you'd never guess it. In fact, it hardly makes any sense the soft-spoken pivot with the high-end hockey sense was struggling so badly with the farm club.

Earlier this year, the Sheridan County Commissioners requested several public meetings with the Sheridan City Council to work on areas of mutual interest. Sheridan Media's Ron Richter has more on the story.
During one of those work sessions, City Councilman Robert Webster, who's been on the Council for two decades, requested that staff look at the history and data of the City's contributions toward county projects, such as the jail, juvenile justice and expansion of Municipal Court to help alleviate the load on the County Court system.
At Monday night's Sheridan City Council meeting, City Clerk/Interim Treasurer Scott Badley presented the Council with a memo that addressed Webster's concerns that the City had taken on many services over the past twenty years that are typically funded in other parts of the state by county government. Councilman Webster then referred to the three-ring binder that was presented to the Council prior to a series of work sessions.
The Councilman went on to mention several City funded services that benefit county residents, despite not being subsidized by Sheridan County.
The staff memo that was presented at the meeting also indicated that a review of audit reports for Sheridan County and the City of Sheridan was conducted. The review resulted in comparisons of revenues from years where audited reports were available from fiscal year 1986 through fiscal year 2013.
The review confirmed that the City's revenues from 1986 to 1996 were greater than the County's when the City began subsidizing county facilities. It also showed that since 1996, the revenues for Sheridan County have exceeded that of the City's.

Aging, longevity, productivity, demographics and the modern workforce — they're a pretty complicated, and sometimes sensitive, set of issues. Meaning that they require, perhaps, a more deft touch than the one displayed yesterday by Chris Matthews on his eponymous syndicated TV show, in conversation with the Huffington Post's Howard Fineman.
MATTHEWS: When the Pope leaves this week, the cardinals will get ready to choose his successor, but only cardinals under age 80 can actually vote in the College of Cardinals, which brings us to this week's big question. In today's world of working longer in life, should we have an age cutoff in all sorts of areas, Howard? Like the Supreme Court?
FINEMAN: I think it's something we should consider, but I think the technology of aging is changing, and I think it has to still be on a case-by-case basis. Somebody like Rupert Murdoch running one of the largest news organizations in the world is in his 80's and going strong by all accounts.
MATTHEWS: Really. Is that good? Just kidding.

Chile's Arturo Vidal says it would be great to knock Spain out of the World Cup but that insists his side are in Brazil to win the tournament themselves.
The South Americans enjoyed a 3-1 win over Australia in their opening match of the campaign and know another victory against La Roja will all but eliminate their opponents.
Speaking to FIFA's official website, Juventus' Vidal also said he feels at 100 per cent physically despite playing only 60 minutes against the Aussies.
"The knee is responding very well, I am in great condition and I hope to start against Spain," he said.
"I'm well, I'm at 100 per cent physically and I'm not thinking about my knee, but it will be up to the Coach Sampaoli whether I play or not.
"Spain are the world champions, they have quality. They have great players who will go out onto the pitch very angry. We hope to play well and take the three points.
"Eliminating Spain would be great, but we haven't come here for that. We've come here to win the World Cup."

- He didn't tell me OW emailed him.
- He deleted the email, from the trash folder too.
- He RESPONDED to her.
- He deleted his email from the sent folder, and also from the trash.
*** Most importantly...the email itself.
OW said: "You might not remember me. We met a couple years ago. I have hpv16 and was told by my doctor to tell everyone I've had sex with because I don't know when I got it or who gave it to me. You should probably tell the people you've had sex with to get tested too."
H responded: "I was all ready tested after we had sex. I have been tested since then too. My results were negative on everything."
I don't fucking care how long ago they had sex, that they used a condom, or that we've both been tested since then...if there's even the tiniest, craziest possibility I got something from their encounter, HE SHOULD TELL ME! God damn that son of a bitch! I have to go made some fucking dinner for this stupid ass holiday. Happy Thanksgiving to me!
As for his reply, at MOST he should have said "Thank you for the information." It's really none of her business if he got tested and what the results were. But either way he should have told you. The fact that he went to such lengths to hide the contact doesn't speak well for him. However I must give the OW a few points for informing him. Most wouldn't I think, especially if they weren't sure where/when they contracted it and she also didn't accuse him of infecting her. Small comfort I know.
So, what will you do now? If you confront him about this, I can almost guarantee he'll say he didn't tell you because he didn't want to upset/hurt you. Two and a half years out, transparancy and honesty should be damn near automatic. I tell my H if I even *think* I saw the OM. I even told him I saw OM on a short news bit a couple years ago.
I'd love to give your WH the benefit of the doubt here but I can't, not after the lengths he went to to keep you from finding out. I think he's hiding more than just the one email.
I'm so sorry.
All affairs are variations on a theme. No one has 'Beethoven's 5th' to everyone else's 'Chopsticks'.
Needless to say, he has no idea why I think about leaving him on a daily basis.
And regardless of the content-yes, this is the epitome of selfishness
Her prize is a man who ran out on his wife and children. His is a woman who is too stupid to understand that she is not special, she is simply there.
Aside from that, the fact that he had contact and proceeded to cover his ass instead of being up front about it tells me he still doesn't get it.
If you are trying to R, then get it all the hell out on the Thanksgiving table. He needs to feel the wrath of betrayed woman. I don't care if it is a Holiday. It's not for you, he gets to share that.
Edit 1
Lies of omission, are lies. No explanation needed. I do not think he's taken this underground, I think he's just stupid and needs a whack upside the head.
Edit 2
YOU are out of master bedroom? WTF I'd make a switch!!

Always, tell the other BS! Always!
"It's hard to be in love when you can't tell lies"!
ETA: I moved upstairs because (1) he wouldn't move and I'm in no mood to argue with him about it, (2) our daughter sleeps upstairs and I prefer being closer to her and (3) there's more privacy and a bigger bathroom up there.

Is there a test for HPV in men?
Currently, there is no HPV test recommended for men. The only approved HPV tests on the market are for screening women for cervical cancer. They are not useful for screening for HPV-related cancers or genital warts in men.
Screening for anal cancer is not routinely recommended for men. This is because more research is needed to find out if it can actually prevent anal cancer. However, some experts do recommend yearly anal cancer screening (anal Pap tests) for gay, bisexual, and HIV-positive men since anal cancer is more common in these men.
There is no approved test to find genital warts for men or women. However, most of the time, you can see genital warts. If you think you may have genital warts, you should see a health care provider.
There is no test for men to check ones overall HPV status. But HPV usually goes away on its own, without causing health problems. So an HPV infection that is found today will most likely not be there a year or two from now.
Screening tests are not available for penile cancer.
You can check for any abnormalities on your penis, scrotum, or around the anus. See your doctor if you find warts, blisters, sores, ulcers, white patches, or other abnormal areas on your peniseven if they do not hurt.
If they couldn't be, why would they bother coming up with a vaccine against it for them?
Never said they couldn't be affected or vaccinated-only mentioned testing.
eta: if your desire is to R - you'll want to confront. When I was in limbo, I went into wait and see mode. I couldn't imagine living my life constantly on alert, and wanted to see what would happen if I let my guard down. Got my answer - I'm D.

H responded: "I was all ready tested after we had sex. I have been tested since then too. My results were negative on everything."
Just wondering, are you aware that he was tested twice? Was the second time a follow-up (like 6 months after)? Or was he involved with someone else (that you don't know about), got tested again, and didn't tell you? His wording just sounded a little odd to me.
[This message edited by frigidfire86 at 9:06 AM, November 28th (Thursday)]
I had a male family member who was diagnosed with HPV caused throat cancer a year ago. That is more common than penile cancer.
Frigidfire, your husband is uninformed. With that arrogance and ignorance, he put your health at risk by having sex with someone else and again by not telling you his AP has now tested positive for HPV16. -- ETA: HPV can be spread even when using a condom.
HPV16 is a 'high-risk' strain of the virus that can be linked to cancer, particularly oral throat cancer, cervical and anal cancer.
Were YOU tested for it specifically? If not, you should be.
IMO, you need to tell him. He should also learn that he if they had oral sex, he is now at risk of throat cancer. I bet he won't be so quick to dismiss it then.

Can HPV show up years later?
[This message edited by gonnabe2016 at 10:24 AM, November 28th (Thursday)]
In my effort to be *concise*, I often come off as blunt and harsh. Sorry, don't mean to be offensive.
Also regarding HPV can I tell you my experience?
In my mid 20's before having my son I had a smear come back inconclusive, not enough cells or something. Well my pregnancy was a miracle as both H and I have fertility issues and had been trying for many years. I can't remember if I was advised to wait until he was born or if I decided it myself. Well, I had a smear after having him and I had a tumour. Nothing major but fast growing so I had to have a loop biopsy where they remove the affected area of the cervix. I also tested HPV+
I have been clear since and HPV clear since a year after the cancer.
When we had to go for screening after his affair they spotted some tiny genital warts and froze them off. Now, I had never spotted them and H says he has had them since he was a teenager! They were so tiny they looked like normal variations in skin tone.
So I am confused. He had them before we met but it took about ten years for me to develop cancer. Back then HPV was not mentioned on smear results where I live. Now it is and I have been HPV - ever since. All the while having unprotected sex with him and his untreated genital warts! I guess it's pretty hit and miss and must clear up on it's own cos it did with me.
Don't know if any of that helps. OW was tested and supposedly came back clear but seeing as she gave us treatment resistant thrush god knows what nasties she is carrying and denying! She would never have told us if she was positive for anything and actually came back from her appointment saying they told her off for wasting their time! As if any clinic would say that to anyone going to be checked
I would definitely say get yourself checked again just to be on the safe side. I know to check my HPV status on all smear results now.

Obama: Gun Grabber
Despite Obama's statements since becoming President "I have said consistently that I believe that the Second Amendment is an individual right." Most people remain unconvinced. It is most likely that Obama's position on gun confiscation is much like his position on homosexual marriage. He ran as an opponent on this issue and after it was "safe" to pivot, he told claimed that his positon was evolving. This bit of bullshit convinced only the terminally stupid, but was unbelievable to both his supporters and opponents.
In his new book, At the Brink, economist and author John R. Lott Jr., assesses the presidency of Barack Obama and recalls conversations regarding gun laws they had while working at the University of Chicago.In Chapter Three, Mr. Lott discusses gun-control and takes the reader back to his time at the University of Chicago, where he and then-professor Barack Obama spoke on numerous occasions about guns in America."I don't believe people should be able to own guns," Obama told Lott one day at the University of Chicago Law School.Lott explains that he first met Obama shortly after completing his research on concealed handgun laws and crime."He did not come across as a moderate who wanted to bring people together," Lott writes.After he introduced himself to Obama, Lott suggested that they have lunch one day to discuss their views on guns. According to Lott, Obama "grimaced and turned away." That was the way many conversations with Obama ended, Lott says.Although the Law School was famous for the openness of its faculty and friendly engagement, Lott says, "Obama...preferred silent, scowling disdain to collegiality."
What makes Lott's claims believable is not only the fact that Obama's gun-grabber position is in line with the Left's position on guns, but he has Obama's manner exactly right.
Meanwhile, In Louisiana, a conservative backlash against gun control. It's easy to fool the glitterati (see Dennis Rodman in North Korea or any Hollywood celebrity on Hugo Chavez), but it's harder to fool the people in flyover country. They have a nose for lying charlatans.

I find the "matrixness" of sparse matrices to be constantly annoying and a source of tons of special cases in code that wants to handle both sparse and dense matrices... but it is what it is. If they can't act like ndarrays, better they act like np.matrix's than like some weird mash-up of the two. And in particular the key thing for this indexing example is that we *can't* return a sparse 1-d ndarray-alike, right, because we have no structure to represent sparse 1-d things? -n

Named after the mighty and enlivening Amazon river that flows through South America, amazonite is a kind of feldspar mineral much like iridescent moonstone and labradorite, that has been tinted blue and green by the presence of lead and water. Opaque in shades that vary from spearmint turquoise to pale greens with asymmetrical white daubs, amazonite is often cut en cabochon into rounded beads flaunting smooth veneers. In crystal healing, amazonite can be used to dampen hostility and calm the body often through placement on the heart and throat chakras.

Multi angle Wavelets and stochastic processes: how the Gaussian world became sparse
Auteurs : Unser, Michael (Auteur de la Conférence)
CIRM (Editeur )
Loading the player...
Résumé : We start with a brief historical account of wavelets and of the way they shattered some of the preconceptions of the 20th century theory of statistical signal processing that is founded on the Gaussian hypothesis. The advent of wavelets led to the emergence of the concept of sparsity and resulted in important advances in image processing, compression, and the resolution of ill-posed inverse problems, including compressed sensing. In support of this change in paradigm, we introduce an extended class of stochastic processes specified by a generic (non-Gaussian) innovation model or, equivalently, as solutions of linear stochastic differential equations driven by white Lévy noise. Starting from first principles, we prove that the solutions of such equations are either Gaussian or sparse, at the exclusion of any other behavior. Moreover, we show that these processes admit a representation in a matched wavelet basis that is "sparse" and (approximately) decoupled. The proposed model lends itself well to an analytic treatment. It also has a strong predictive power in that it justifies the type of sparsity-promoting reconstruction methods that are currently being deployed in the field.Codes MSC :

Fans of Studio Ghibli's output will have probably already caught their latest, "The Secret World of Arrietty" already, but for those of you waiting for the English-dubbed version to show up in Stateside theaters, good news, it's almost here. Check out the U.S. trailer for the animated film below. The last Ghibli movie I saw was "Ponyo", which was insanely cute. "Arrietty" doesn't seem to be going for that same kind of cuteness overload, and for some reason the main male lead's voice sort of creeps me out.
Residing quietly beneath the floorboards are little people who live undetected in a secret world to be discovered, where the smallest may stand tallest of all. From the legendary Studio Ghibli ("Spirited Away," "Ponyo") comes "The Secret World of Arrietty," an animated adventure based on Mary Norton's acclaimed children's book series "The Borrowers."
Arrietty (voice of Bridgit Mendler), a tiny, but tenacious 14-year-old, lives with her parents (voices of Will Arnett and Amy Poehler) in the recesses of a suburban garden home, unbeknownst to the homeowner and her housekeeper (voice of Carol Burnett). Like all little people, Arrietty (AIR-ee-ett-ee) remains hidden from view, except during occasional covert ventures beyond the floorboards to "borrow" scrap supplies like sugar cubes from her human hosts. But when 12-year-old Shawn (voice of David Henrie), a human boy who comes to stay in the home, discovers his mysterious housemate one evening, a secret friendship blossoms. If discovered, their relationship could drive Arrietty's family from the home and straight into danger.
Featuring the voices of Bridgit Mendler, Amy Poehler, Carol Burnett, Will Arnett, David Henrie, Moises Arias, and directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi. For some reason, Gary Rydstrom is also credited as the director on the "English version" in the Disney press release.

Alice's Macarons
Macarons may seem simple to make, but with experience one quickly learns they are very difficult to make well, especially consistently. Seasonal variation in New England brings drastic changes in humidity, requiring adjustments in baking times and oven temperature – just one of the challenges to making the perfect macaron!
After years of refining her recipe and technique, Alice's macarons have reached a level of quality not typical of most States-side macarons. Of course, we're biased, but we've tasted many macarons in France and at home. Alice's macarons have the perfect balance of crunch, chew, flavor and sweetness. Our batches are small and while we strive to keep all flavors in stock, due to popular demand, we may run out from time to time.
If you'd like to place an order for macarons, please call the shop 617-354-4750 and ask for the bakery.
Due to the fragility of these delicate treats, we do not ship our macarons.

There are some plays that just don't travel well, through time or space. It could be that all of Belgian Nobel laureate Maurice Maeterlinck's romantic and deeply psychological investigations, written around the turn of the last century, fall into this category. Or maybe it's just that here and now is not the place for his seldom performed Monna Vanna. Although the long-winded historical fantasy is certainly eloquent and often fascinating, its only American performance in the last 100 years doesn't give audiences nearly enough to grab on to.
Set in politically torn Italy at the end of the 15th century, Maeterlinck's play focuses on a battle between the Pisans and the Florentines. Pisa is under siege, and Guido, the city's hot-headed commander (Stephan Smith Collins), gets bad news from his dad (Robin Field), captured but recently released by the Florentine leader: The only way Pisa and its people will survive is if Guido hands over his gorgeous wife, Giovanna, aka Monna Vanna (Emily Wing). Naturally this is a no-go for Guido, but Giovanna is all for saving the city, even at the expense of her honor. What follows is spelled out in a lengthy "labyrinth of words": the conflict between a controlling husband and heretofore obedient wife, a father's seeming betrayal of his son, and a woman's ability to find her own strength and make her own choices. And on we go, until we meet the supposedly barbaric enemy, Prinzivalle (Bryant Romo), and find that he is very different from the "image of a man painted by those that fear him."
So Monna Vanna becomes an extended exploration of the nature of love, ownership, and truth. Joel Marquez directs a company of accomplished actors who get points for clarity; they handle the language well for the most part (Field is particularly notable in what might be the play's most thankless role), and Marquez's simple staging is certainly respectful of the material. Joel Bryant and Daniel Jensen complete the ensemble cast, each playing two roles. Aside from lovely costumes by LizBeth Lucca and Sarah Moore, this is a low-tech presentation, and the director has chosen to spotlight only the words and the actors. However, some performances don't find many of the emotional subtleties in the text, and the production lacks a unified playing style. This means that at the end of nearly three hours in the theatre, we're left with not all that much.

Well, as many of you might already know from my constant Twittering my little niece, Kimberly,who is only 3 years old, has been severely sick this past week and a half. It was been an emotional roller coaster every step of the way! It turns out she has an extremely bad case of pneumonia which has caused her to have two surgeries in just one week. I have spent every waking moment away from the bakery right at her side, as she means more to me than words can express. Praise the Lord that my little girl is getting better and on the road to recovery! I can't thank the Lord enough and am beyond blessed with an incredible set of family and friends. Thank you so my sister who brought this little angel into my life and thank you to the Lord for keeping her with us!
Since at this very moment I am in the ICU unit with my princess I thought it perfectly fitting to share my love of my little Kimmy with all of you. Since getting my new camera she has been my little model on every day off or family occasion, so I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do! I promise to get a blog post in with something edible soon…
And here are some photos from our play dates!
I just can't get enough of this little girl…she is WAY too cute!
I just love when these tiny toes are next to mine!

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 (UPI) -- NATO Secretary-General Lord George Robertson met Wednesday with President Bush in the Oval Office to reaffirm the alliance's solidarity with the U.S.-led campaign against terrorism as airstrikes against targets in Afghanistan continued in response to last month's terrorist attacks on New York and Washington that killed more than 6,000 people.
"Today, NATO nations are acting together in a broad campaign against terror," Bush said in a Rose Garden appearance with Robertson. "Britain is side by side with us in Afghanistan. The nations of NATO are sharing intelligence, coordinating law enforcement, and cracking down on the financing of terrorist organizations."
Robertson arrived in Washington for talks with Bush and Secretary of State Colin Powell on strategies to quickly and successfully win the campaign against terrorism, and to voice NATO's solidarity with the U.S.-led military action against Afghanistan.
NATO has 19 member countries and 17 associate members.
Bush thanked Robertson for the alliance's support and recounted that after the Sept. 11 attack, NATO allies stated that if it were determined that the attack originated from abroad it would be an action covered by Article 5 of the NATO charter, which says an attack against one member was an act against all.
It was the first time in the alliance's 52-year history that the article was invoked.
"It didn't take long for our friends to respond," he said. "A lot of that had to do with the leadership of Lord Robertson. This was an act of great friendship in a time of great need and our country will never forget it."
On Tuesday, Robertson praised Bush in an address to the NATO assembly for his response to the Sept. 11 attacks.
"I want to pay a tribute to your leadership during this difficult time for your country, this difficult time for the world as well," Robertson said Wednesday. "We stand shoulder to shoulder in a new kind of struggle, and a struggle that we have to win."
He added: "These terrorists are not 10 feet tall. They are not insuperable. They're not unvanquishable. But we are, and we can win and we certainly will win.
"And I am very, very proud that NATO and the 19 nations of the alliance are at the heart of a global coalition against the most evil criminals of our age."
For the first time in its history, on Tuesday, NATO deployed the first of five AWACS to the United States. That would free up planes for the U.S. effort in Afghanistan, NATO officials said. AWACS provide air surveillance and early warning capabilities for NATO forces.
Bush called the move "an unprecedented display of friendship."
Bush also called attention to efforts of non-NATO allies such as Russia, which has pledged intelligence and diplomatic support; the Organization of American States, which invoked the collective defense clause of the Rio Treaty; and other, varying degrees of support from Japan, Korea, Africa, China and Israel.
National security officials have identified Saudi exile Osama bin Laden and his al Qaida group as being behind the Sept. 11 attacks. On Wednesday, Bush placed bin Laden's name on the FBI's list of most wanted terrorists placing a $ 5 million reward on his head.

Defending Alabama
The University of Alabama, that is, and in particular Dean Ken Randall. Randall has been called to task by Brian Leiter and Gordon Smith for his comments to the Tuscaloosa News about Alabama's rise in the new US News rankings. Randall said: "It is a proud day for our campus, the legal profession, and the entire state of Alabama. We have proven that our state can offer premier educational opportunities." Brian places Randall (and others) in the Decanal Hypocrisy Hall of Fame. Gordon called these the "most over the top comments of the season."
OK, everyone knows I'm biased. Alabama is my academic alma mater, a place where I spent my first eight years in teaching. But there are a couple of reasons why I think this criticism of Randall is harsh. The first, as it relates to the H-word (hypocrisy.) Bucking the dominant "official line", Ken Randall declined to sign the LSAC letter critiquing US News rankings. (Gordon notes this.) People may disagree with Randall's decision, as well as his comments, but they can't quarrel with his consistency.
Second, Randall's comments are capable of a more generous reading. For example, his second point – that the school has proven that Alabama can offer premier educational opportunities – is not necessarily a claim that this new ranking provides the proof. Indeed, if you listened to Randall travel across the state, you'd have heard him offer that same message for years – well before the new ranking. This is simply a point of pride and a bit of marketing. And it's something else – something that folks in Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas and the like will appreciate: it's an opportunity to respond to both the external critiques, and the internal self-image problems, of a state that hasn't always excelled in education. In this sense, the comment is both a retort to outsiders and a rallying cry to residents. The US News rankings were an opportunity to get this message into the papers, but it is a message that he has been effectively delivering for many years.
Finally, as to the most apparently problematic comment – that the new rankings are proud day for the campus, profession and state – the critiques I think overstate the case. First, this comment was offered to the local mass media and sounds in the language of sports and competition – something anyone in Alabama would recognize as part of the state's patois. It is also a way to stir up donors. Like his comment about offering a premier education in the state, these words are designed to convince alumni that the law school is a worthy investment.
I suspect that someone could raise a defense of the other offending deans, so I don't mean to damn them by my failure to comment. And I also don't mean to argue that US News offers "accurate" rankings. I now teach at a school that is new and utterly unranked. That fact is surely disconcerting to some potential students. Yet I would also put many aspects of our program head to head with schools in the Top 50 – including, yes, Alabama. So in this sense, these rankings very much hurt Drexel. (And as I've shown previously, most newer schools do quite badly in the US News reputation competition.) But these rankings do provide some information to students (and, by the way, potential faculty) who might otherwise know very little about the University of Alabama's of the world. And they also produce significant benefits for schools that do well – in terms of money, faculty recruiting and student recruiting. Isn't it just as disingenuous to act like the rankings are no big deal, then quietly reap their rewards? And isn't that what most of the other schools in the Top 50 do every day?

Eir ("mercy") is a minor Norse goddess of healing. She knew the secret powers of herbs, with which she could even resurrect the dead. She taught the art of healing only to women, who, in ancient Scandinavia, were the only physicians. She is the patroness of health-care workers, called on against sickness or injury. She is one of the goddesses on the mountain called Lyfia ("to heal through magic"), and gives both physical and psychic means of healing; shamanic healing, especially, falls into her realm

A CASTLE-BASED creative and digital agency is celebrating an incredible first year in business after winning prestigious national and international contracts.
Curious12, which has offices at Auckland Castle, Bishop Auckland was set up by directors Richard Lister and Anton Heil at the beginning of May last year, with fellow director Gary Robson coming on board shortly after. The trio quickly smashed their original targets on projected work and turnover, hitting £250,000 of sales in the first year against a projected target of £125,000, and doubling the amount of projects within the first six months.
The business has continued to expand rapidly throughout their first year and has doubled its workforce from three to six.
Loading article content
The agency has beaten top London and international agencies to win a host of projects which include working as marketing and design partner to global company CMR Group and building a website for chewing gum maker Wrigleys.
In addition, Curious12 has been working with Auckland Castle, on a range of marketing projects including websites, brochures and apps.
"We love what we do and it feels great when our clients tell us that our enthusiasm shows through in the work we deliver for them," said Mr Lister, the business development director.
"We enjoy being truly creative rather than focusing on the bottom line. For us, it's not about getting the job done as quickly as possible to maximise profits. What motivates us is digging below the surface to understand what outcome our client really wants and then doing whatever it takes to deliver that. "
"We call ourselves Curious because that defines our approach to our business," Mr Lister added. "We don't just ask what a client wants us to do, we always want to know why they want to do it too and we use this insight to identify the best ways to help them achieve the outcomes they are looking for."
"Some agencies believe they are entitled to your budget. Curious12 are very, very different. They blend creativity and world class expertise with huge dollops of humility. The team are fully deserving of their status as our global marketing partner," said says James Thwaites, Group Marketing Manager of CMR Global.
"It's about joining our clients on their journey and becoming totally involved and immersed in it. When you become as passionate about what they want to achieve as they are, then you can truly produce work that is able to revolutionise their business."

Parting Shot - Good Trucks Gone Bad
Bagged & Broken
It is the age-old story of an inexperienced driver not paying attention to the road and causing an accident. Unfortunately, the accident totaled what would have been a badass truck. The owner, Tommy Collum, from Georgia, was enjoying a nice drive with his wife and three-year-old son when a sixteen-year-old girl ran a red light. Tommy couldn't stop in time and well…you can see how it ended. Luckily, everyone made it out OK, with the exception of Tommy's pride and joy. The truck was bodied on 26-inch wheels with a full frame and Michigan Metal Works front end. It really sucks to see someone's hard earned money get destroyed by someone's stupidity. We wish Tommy and his family the best of luck. If you have a story about how someone wrecked your custom truck, send it in to firstname.lastname@example.com.

As the schedule worked out, the CBA/Jamesville-DeWitt boys swim team would compete twice before the holiday break – and win both meets to improve to 4-0 on the season.
Relying again on the likes of Kevin Potocki and Corey Knapp, CBA/J-D delivered its third consecutive victory last Tuesday night as it rolled past the Baldwinsville Bees 96-82.
Potocki ripped his way past the field in the 200 freestyle in one minute, 52.81 seconds, winning that event and doing the same in the 100 freestyle as he blazed to a time of 51.75 seconds, with McMillen Judge (58.96 seconds) completing a 1-2 sweep.
Knapp, for his part, needed 22.86 seconds to blaze to first place in the 50 freestyle, and he held off B'ville's Eric Johnson, 1:00.92 to 1:02.37, for a victory in the 100 butterfly. He also teamed with Josh Lacey, Casey Sawyer and Jack Martin to win the 200 medley relay in 1:40.98.
Lacey earned his own title in the 200 individual medley in 2:05.10, with Martin, in 1:04 flat, topping the Bees' John Sidorakis (1:05.27) in the 100 backstroke.
Jack Toole claimed first in the 500 freestyle in 5:38.18 as Alex Dieroff, with 239.05 points, won again on the diving board, beating out Matt Wanamaker (208.95 points) for that top spot.
Without much time to rest, CBA/J-D welcomed Weedsport 48 hours later, and had little trouble running the win streak to four, piling up points early as it beat the Warriors 96-82.
The 200 medley relay proved to be a thriller as Potocki, Martin, Lacey and Ben Vahey, in a time of 2:01.41, nipped Weedsport (2:01.55) by a tiny margin of 0.14 seconds.
From there, Martin went on to take the 50 freestyle in 24.92 seconds, with Colin Howe second in 26.77 seconds. Lacey, in the 100 freestyle, sped to victory in 51.80 seconds as Ben Katsarsky grabbed the runner-up spot in 53.37 seconds.
Wanamaker's total of 228.7 points finally gave him a first-place finish in diving over Dieroff, who had 209.65 points, with Sawyer going 57.11 seconds to win the 100 butterfly and Luca Bebla, in 2:26.40, edging Nick Street (2:26.52) in the 200 IM.
Dan McGann, in 5:38.24, pulled away from teammate Jeff Gabriel (5:46.02) to win the 500 freestyle, right before Street, Howe, Jack Radford and Sargon Bebla pushed through the 200 freestyle relay in 1:44.69 to give CBA/J-D one more win. Its season resumes with matches Jan. 7 against Pulaski and Jan. 9 against New Hartford.

I've been using my icandy strawberry for 10 weeks now. I love how sleek and stylish it looks and my 10 week old loves her carrycot and always falls asleep easily in it. However, there are a few negative points I have to mention. i havevlisted them below.
The first major flaw is the front wheels, they are a nightmare. I mean to the point it could be dangerous. I was out for a walk in the park with my children, it was a little muddy and all the mud, twigs and leaves clogged the wheels, I had to tip onto the back wheels to get home. I dislodged all the muck, which took me around 30 mins. I was shocked at the sheer amount of mud and derbies that came out, I had to use a knife to scrape most of it out. The front wheels are fixed so they cannot be removed.
The front and back suspension has developed a squeaking noise. I went back to the shop where I purchased the pram, they have told me to spray with polish and leave overnight. So I will give this a try and see if it resolves.
The icandy decals came away after a few days. I purchased icandy decal stickers from EBay.
The poppers for the carrycot apron are awkwardly placed and are a little fiddly to do.
The bumper bar is fixed. I would've liked to see a gate opening mechanism for ease of getting child in and out of pram/ carrycot.
Also I would not recommend putting light weight items in the basket as they usually blow out with a slight gust of wind.
Overall a fantastic looking pram best suited for city living and those who don't do much walking. If I'd have known what I know now I probably would have went for the icandy peach or jogger instead of the strawberry ( my sister has the peach and has none of these problems).
I would like to see icandy fix the design flaw with the front wheels ASAP.

Laney Cub Tube Guitar Amp Head
Laney Cub Tube Guitar Amp HeadDetails
The all new CUB HEAD finally gives players access to great British valve tone like never before. The retro styled CUB HEAD features a top mounted control panel consisting of the following; gain, treble, middle, bass, volume, tone and reverb. Dialling in a great valve tone is simple - select your input - 15 W or <1 W : more on these controls in a moment, dial in your tone, add a taste of high quality reverb and away you go.
Product Ref: 17190View Full Description
Full DescriptionView Full Description
The CUB HEAD houses 3 x ECC83's in its preamp and 2 x EL84's in the power amp section, all hand selected to give the best valve tone possible. Lets go back for a moment and look at the inputs on the CUB HEAD.
The CUB HEAD has two input options, one giving you 15W RMS of valve tone, the other giving you a huge valve sound, but cutting the output down to .75 of a Watt. .75 of a Watt might not sound like much, but it allows you to drive the output section really hard and generate some very pleasing power amp compression and pleasing break up giving you that holy grail of guitar tone!
The rear panel of the CUB HEAD houses two speaker out sockets in 8 & 16 Ohm options, a footswitch socket for switching the reverb and an effects loop consisting of a Send/Line out socket and a return socket. The CUB HEAD can be paired with any Laney cabinet but is ideally suited to the CUB CAB.

US President Barack Obama on Friday spoke of future cars that can go "coast to coast without using a drop of oil" and urged Congress to authorize spending $2 billion over the next decade to expand research into electric cars and biofuels to wean automobiles off gasoline.
Obama said the United States must shift its cars and trucks entirely off oil to avoid perpetual fluctuations in gas prices. Citing policies that already require automakers to increase gas mileage, he said he expects that by the middle of the next decade, Americans will only have to fill up their cars half as often. (AP)

chestnut hill, here we come
I have always loved the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia. It is situated in the northwest corner of the city and boasts lots of historic charm on either side of Germantown Avenue. I grew up in the suburbs to the north and my first grown up home was in the Philadelphia neighborhood of Manayunk, just south of Chestnut Hill. To me, Chestnut Hill has always been a sweet spot between the suburbs and the city – literally and figuratively. The are large, historic homes and mature trees plus its very own flavor of urban flair found on Germantown Ave. which … Continue reading chestnut hill, here we come

Thousands of tiny unmanned aircraft or drones flying into civilian airspace over the United States can pose a security threat as they may be difficult to monitor in the long run and some craft may fall into enemy hands, security analysts say.
Although debate over the use of surveillance drones, approved by Congress this week, centers on civil liberties and individuals' rights, a much greater risk of hostile drones entering U.S. airspace undetected isn't being considered, analysts said.
The Federation Aviation Administration said up to 30,000 drones could be in airspace shared with airliners carrying passengers.
