" Address: Riverside Museum, 100 Pointhouse Place, Glasgow, Glasgow City G3 8RS, United Kingdom / Type: Museum "
Riverside Museum - Glasgow
Please note our visit was the last week in September but I wrote this on ciao before then and have been waiting for it to be added on dooyoo.
The Riverside Museum in Glasgow was opened to the public in June 2011. Work began on the museum back in 2007 and is believed to have cost more than £74million. Despite having only been open for a few months, there is more to speak of with regards to the history of the museum. Located at Kelvin Hall, the museum was original known as the Museum of Transport befor being relocated.
The museum was designed by Zaha Hadid.
{Location and Getting There}
The Riverside Museum is located on the Greater Govan and Glasgow Harbour. The full contact address is :
Riverside Museum
100 Pointhouse Place
0141 287 2720
The museum has an on site car park (£1 for 3hours). The website recommend parking at Kelvin Hall car park which is 10mins away (sign posted with green direction signs). The museum can be reached by turning off at junction 19 on the M8 Expressway. There is a bus service known as Riversider service 100 which runs from George Square to the museum and also stops at the SECC, Kelvingrove etc. This service runs at 20min intervals throughout the day and costs £2.50-£3.00. First buses also stop at the nearby Partick Bus Station. You can use your regular First Glasgow ticket on these buses.
The nearest train station is Partick which is a 10min (signposted) walk to the museum. You can also get to the museum from Govan by using the ferry across the water.
{Opening Times and Admission}
The museum is open all year round with the exception of Christmas, Boxing Day, New Years Day and the 2nd of January. The museum is open Monday-Thursday and Saturday 10am-5pm. Fridays and Sundays 11am-5pm. Entry into the museum is free.
{What Is There To Do?}
The museum promises over 3000 objects of interest which are set over 2 levels. Many have been moved to this new building following the closure of the Museum of Transport. The main focus of the museum is showing the heritage of transport within Glasgow. The exhibitions on offer include vintage cars, trams,buses and train carriages plus many more modes of transport including various boats. Many allow you to board and get a real feel for the transport system which used to be in place.
The old museum offered a recreation of Kelvin Street where you could walk along admiring the shops from 1895 onwards. The new museum allows access into these shops and areas which include a subway, cafe, bookmakers, pawn shop and a few other shops. Throughout the museum, interactive stations are present allowing visitors to comment and put forward and recommendations for future exhibitions. Interactive stations are also present in front of many of the exhibitions to discover more about what you are actually looking at.
Due to the new riverside location, there is the additional option to visit the Tall Ship. The ship was build on the Clyde and has been restored to include a play area, tours and a real to life crew. The ship has a permanent position next to the museum and is ran by the Clyde Maritime Trust. There is an admission fee of £5.00 per adult (one child free per adult) and it is currently open 10am-5pm. There is no obligation to visit the ship as it is separate from the museum.
{Shop, Cafe and Facilities}
There are 2 cafes within the museum. On the ground floor in the annexe, there is a restaurant style cafe offering a varied menu. It is a table service and a menu is provided. As well a wide selection of hot drinks (£1.75 upwards), soft drinks (£1.50ish) and wine (£10 upwards), the cafe offers breakfast til 11.30am including fruit, croissants, toast etc. These are priced at £1.75 upwards.
Lunch is served 12pm-3pm. Provided are salads (£5.00 upwards), pies with potatoes (around £8.50), sandwiches (various fillings around £5.00) and desserts such as sponge puddings (around £4.00). Light bites such as scones and cream cakes are available (from £1.95). Another cafe is located at the far end of the first floor. They offer prepackaged sandwiches (£3.00ish), crisps, packaged cakes and juices (£1.50ish). They also offer kids boxes with a filled roll, juice, crisps and a cake for £2.50. High chairs are available in both cafes for those with babies.
Near the entrance and reception, there is a shop offering the usual pencils, rulers etc for under a pound. They offer mugs, tshirts, skateboards, pieces of artwork and various guidebooks. They have a wide range of small toy cars varying in price from £2.95 to over £20.00. You could purchase keyrings, flasks, magnets etc from £4.99. Books were £4.50 upwards. There are toilets located around the museum including men, women, disabled and baby changing. There is a large lift as well as stairs to connect the floors.
{Our Trip}
Yesterday my fiance was off work and our son off nursery so we decided to go somewhere. We had previously visited the Museum of Transport in its former location so decided the Riverside Museum was the place to go! My sister had previously took the kids there so I had a rough idea what to expect. When I told my son we were going on the train, he was rather excited and moreso when I told him we were going to see more trains!
Getting to the museum from Motherwell meant we had to go on a train to Partick. Luckily I thought better of getting of at Exhibition Centre (SECC) as it is some walk away! I wasn't expecting quite a walk from Partick though. It took us 15mins and several busy road crossings before we got to the museum. From a distance, the Tall Ship is visible but the building simply looks like a factory of some sort. Getting close up, we discovered it was a grey/silver almost metal shed type building which was simply huge! The car park is a decent size though was full on our arrival (at opening time). We did notice an outdoor seating area and some noodle, steak and ice cream vans though none were open due to the bad weather.
{In We Go}
The museum was very busy on our arrival (the schools are off this weekend). We were greeted by a friendly lady handing out free floor plans. Nothing prepared us for how big the museum actually was. High, curvy ceilings with a lime, bright green decor engrossed us giving the museum a spacious, airy feel. Despite how busy it actually was, little effort was needed to move around and there were plenty of people in wheelchairs and with buggies who could move around freely.
The building is split into connecting sections with the main objects of interest in the middle of the floor. Leaflets are available from the reception though we just wanted to get going. The first part of the museum features various displays. My son and fiance were happy to have their picture taken infront of a Suburu. This area was full of various trams, cars include an old fashioned police car, a huge train engine and some smaller displays. Unfortuantely there were very little you could climb up onto in this area which was disappointing. I quite appreciated the interactive machines which were activated by a push button. The voice over and videos gave decent information on each object. I loved the "Paint Your Wagon" and the caravan there as they were bright and hippy like!
Whilst the main focus was on the huge transport objects, smaller displays were present within glass cabinets. We got to see guns used to cause a hold up on the roads many years ago. One cabinet features a wide range of boat models which was good to look at. We headed around to the annexe past a mobility scooter (I had to giggle at that) and an old fashioned fire engine. An interactive display with screens was present where children could pretend to put out a fire. This was really cool but not something my toddler was interested in. I thought the ramp (like heading to a carpark) was quite cool as it was suspended with cars on it!
Our favourite part of the museum was in the joined annexe type area. Along the far end, large windows looked out onto the Tall Ship (we didn't visit but it was huge!). Along one wall, there were raised platforms featuring around 20cars and known as the Arnold Clark wall. This featured various makes of cars such as Citroen, Bentley and Morris. The cars are preserved well but it did seem a little daunting given how shallow the platforms were! Another interesting exhibition was a circular area hanging from the ceiling which featured bicycles! The far end of this area interested my fiance the most as it featured really old fashioned through to modern motorbikes. Again these were featured on light up, raised platforms.
{Mummy, Can I Go On Please?}
The centre of this area was a little more interactive as children (and the parents) could hop on the tram and get up and close to one of the engines. It was a struggle to get Ryan on and off as it was very busy but he was pleased to ride the tram. I was quite shocked to see a real, modern train carriage in the museum. It looked a lot more spacious and clean that the ones currently on the tracks and we were able to rest here for a few minutes. It is worth noting there are benches around the museum if you wish to have a seat.
Disabled visitors also have an opportunity to get up close to various objects. If stairs are present, there is also a small lift to raise wheelchairs up onto a platform. I found this to be a decent addition to the museum. Also on the ground floor, are shop like enclosures on the outer walls. I was really content walking around this area though Ryan was impatient and wanted to go on something else! There was a little baby shop with cute outfits and old fashioned prams followed by a bike shop, music shop and small old fashioned cinema type room. I like this area of the museum as there was more to look at and do.
{Heading Upstairs}
We were lazy and took the spacious lift! On arrival, we were met by a section mainly dedicated to boats. I was engrossed by the darkened glass cabinet with various boat ornaments. These boats were on a hidden conveyor which travelled around the cabinet and could be spotted from downstairs. There were some art displays too which were different but a nice touch. Heading over the flyover, you get a birdseye view of the museum and get to experience the high suspended bikes and trams in a different way. Upstairs isn't huge and if you are scared of heights I wouldn't recommend looking down through the floor to ceiling window. There are a few small displays upstairs but nothing of much interest to be honest.
{Taking A Stroll}
I remember the Kelvin Street exhibition from the old Museum of Transport. Hidden away in a corner of the museum, it is hard to bypass. We took a wander in here before leaving and found it to have a sort of chilled, realistic feel and look. The real pavements, cobbled streets and old style store fronts added to this. The shops are now open to browse and we took advantage of this. Our son loved the subway which was so real looking with a platform, 2 carriages and a video giving the effect of going through a tunnel! Really cool!
The shops looked historical and nothing was out of place. It was a decent little street and the inclusion of a pub allowed our toddler to take his Daddy for an invisible pint! More features could have been added to the pub though as it looked a little drained! We spent around 10mins walking around here.
{What Else?}
I spent some time looking at the various smaller displays dotted around the museum. Whilst many may assume this museum only covers boats, trams etc, it does show other modes of transport. It is amazing how many I witnessed here and not your typical, tandem 3 wheelers. These were large, beautiful Silver Cross prams. Other exhibitions included something about skateboarding and various bikes used through the times.
There was a display dedicated to World War 1 soldiers including a video and poppy design. This was to reflect how much work they put in to that specific tram and of course the dedication they showed during the war. Another display featured some really cool shoes and some of which would be very difficult to walk in I can imagine! I am glad there was more to the museum than just transport.
{Feeling Thirsty?}
We weren't long after breakfast but did fancy a mid morning snack. At first we went in to the ground floor cafe (prices further up the review) and found it a little bizzare that you had to wait to be seated and paid on leaving. The cafe was clean and had impressive views of the ship outside as well as outdoor seating for decent weather. The staff were friendly and we had a look at the menu though decided it didn't suit us. I personally found it to be overpriced for even a museum and more restaurant like. The cakes did look appealing though! Ryan started acting up so we decided to leave and won't be back in a hurry!
Before leaving, the waitres advised there was a cafe upstairs and we wouldn't have known otherwise as it was tucked away in a corner and very busy. The prices weren't too bad here and everything appeared fresh. The kids boxes were a good idea and seemed popular though we bought a bottle of Coca Cola and Ryan opted for a cookie, The total was £3.00 and we were served quickly. We decided to locate a bench to eat on. Overall, I recommend taking your own snacks!
{Spend A Penny and Then Some More}
The toilets were quite modern and white washed. The ladies were well stocked, clean (as was the whole museum) and comfortable as far as toilets go. On our way out, we decided to visit the gift shop and like any other museum of this sort, it is extremely overpriced. The choice was unusual though with skateboards and the likes but the costs were high. We steered Ryan away from the expensive cars (as you can get good ones in Poundland) and he settled for one of those tube things that makes a noise when turned upside down. We paid £2.50 for it but it wouldh't be hard to spend a fortune.
Any staff we encountered were pleasant and many appeared to be giving information to visitors if requested. As far as I know, special tours aren't happening at the moment but may be an option in the future. We spent 90mins in the museum and enjoyed ourselves. Ryan did get a little narky after a while as he was tired. Whilst the museum offers lots of interesting exhibitions and is very family friendly, I do feel it would be appreciated more by a school child and would be great for school trips.
Although we spent money getting there and lunch in the city centre, our trip to the Riverside Museum caused for little spending and ultimately, we had a good enough time to recommend it. I would go back but only if someone was driving us as the walk from the station is a nightmare and my feet were aching by the time I got back on the train! I would also go back when it is a little quieter. It is a fairly new thing so of course it will be busy for a while but with the entry being free, you cannot blame people for wandering out to visit.
During our next visit, we hope to extend our trip to experience the Tall Ship too. Overall we can thoroughly recommend the Riverside Museum. Whilst my heart lies with Kelvingrove Museum, I do love it here!
Thanks for reading :)

EA Sells Battlefield 3, Dead Space 3, More in Humble Bundle
Humble Bundle has revealed another amazing offer for PC gamers that will undoubtedly generate loads of cash for charities. This one is called the Humble Origin Bundle, and as the title indicates, it's packed full of triple-A games from Electronic Arts spanning multiple genres. It will be available for the next 13 days or so, and so far the average purchase price is $4.74 USD.
According to Humble Bundle, some of the resulting money will go towards paying the company's bills while EA/Origin's portion will be donated to five charities: the Human Rights Campaign, the American Red Cross, Watsi, the American Cancer Society, and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. Customers will have control over how much each charity will receive from their purchase, and how much Humble Bundle will receive to pay for bandwidth, the promotion and so on.
MORE: 10 Fun, Cheap Stream Games for a Rainy Day
As with the previous Humble Bundles, gamers pay for what they want as long as it's a buck ($1) or more. In this package, titles include Dead Space, Dead Space 3, Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box, Crysis 2 Maximum Edition, Mirror's Edge and Medal of Honor. Both Origin and Steam codes will be provided for each save for Dead Space 3 which is Origin only. Pay more than the current average, and receive Battlefield 3 (Origin only), The Sims 3 plus the Starter Pack (Origin only), and the soundtracks for both.
So far this particular bundle has generated just over $3.6 million USD across more than 400,000 purchases, with the numbers climbing as we type. The largest purchases so far include $1,256, $1,000, $510.42, $500 and $300. Consumers can pay set amounts including $10, $25, $50 and $100, or choose a custom amount. The bundle can even be purchased as a gift, allowing customers to provide the receiving gamer a special URL that will provide the gaming goods.
All games received in this bundle are for Windows PC only save for The Sims 3 and the Starter Pack which is also available for Mac. This Starter Pack includes The Sims 3 Late Night Expansion Pack and The Sims 3 High-End Loft Stuff. On their own, all of these EA titles would cost about $215 in-store and via online distribution platforms.
rmpumperEA's David DeMartini, Senior Vice President of Global Ecommerce, when asked about replicating Steam's strategy of giving deep digital discounts: "We won't be doing that. Obviously they think it's the right thing to do after a certain amount of time. I just think it cheapens your intellectual property. I know both sides of it, I understand it. If you want to sell a whole bunch of units, that is certainly a way to do that, to sell a whole bunch of stuff at a low price. The gamemakers work incredibly hard to make this intellectual property, and we're not trying to be Target. We're trying to be Nordstrom. When I say that, I mean good value – we're trying to give you a fair price point, and occasionally there will be things that are on sale you could look for a discount, just don't look for 75 percent off going-out-of-business sales."
June 2012.
Anyways, I hope this means more deals on EA games, and especially DLC. For *ucks sake, ME1, ME2, ME3 DLCs are all priced the same as when they where released (even ME3 Limited Edition with was 9 USD on amazon, while the included DLC separately was and still is 10 USD).
spat55Think EA are trying to get good publicity for there upcoming games. I spent $2 on it, not because I am tight, but because I own half of the games on offer, along with the fact it is a overseas (U.S.A) charities it is going to. (Not that I am against americans, but it would be nice to have a option to support other nations?)
bruce555How can Origin be anything but second to Steam when Origin has the inferior product and refuses to try and lure customers to their platform where there is zero customer gain to do so?
Origin is always broken and barely works.
Rather than being as good at what Steam does and then bringing more to their Origin platform, they're stuck with a zero community, zero innovative, pop up store which can only let you buy games sometimes, only let you install those games you buy sometimes, and does not put the effort/money in to support their own "Higher Quality, Non Cheap" second rate platform.
bryonhowleyGreat deal but I already have most of these games already between Steam and Origin. As for the ones claiming "Origin is always broken and barely works" I have over 50 games on Origin and have never had a problem with it or the games on it. Yes there were a few teething pains in the beginning during the beta but those have all been worked a long time ago.

FREEDOM RIVER highlights the life of John Parker, an ex-slave (he bought his freedom) living in Kentucky who helped other African Americans escape slavery via the Underground Railroad and cross the Ohio River to freedom. Dramatic paintings, many scenes lit by pearly moonlight, add something special to this story inspired by actual events.

A yes vote is expected and the result could encourage a bid for the presidency by the head of the army, General Abdel Fattah al Sisi.
Tensions in the country are high as people go to the polls. Thousands of soldiers have been deployed to guard polling stations.
Hospital officials quoted by the AFP news agency said a man was killed in clashes between Islamists and civilian opponents in the central province of Beni Sweif.
A bomb exploded outside a court in Cairo less than two hours before polling stations opened. A police general cited by AFP said it caused little damage and no injuries.
Gen Sisi forced Mr Morsi, Egypt's first freely-elected leader, from office in July following mass protests involving millions of people.
Islamist opponents view Gen Sisi as the man who caused violence and bloodshed unprecedented in the nation's modern history. At least 1,000 people, mostly Islamists, have been killed in clashes, with thousands imprisoned.
Supporters of Mr Morsi have called for a boycott of the poll, which is set to last for two days. They have been on the end of a brutal crackdown since the coup.
Mr Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood movement was declared a terrorist organisation in December. He is currently on trial over the deaths of protesters when he was in power and his escape from prison during the 2011 uprising that got rid of former president Hosni Mubarak.
Backers of the interim government argue the referendum is the first of several votes which will restore elected rule by the end of the year.
In a speech on Sunday, Interim President Adly Mansour urged Egyptians to cast their ballots. He said: "I call on you to live up to the responsibility you owe to your nation and to ensure a better future for this country to go to your polling station and vote."
The capital Cairo has been filled with banners urging Egyptians to vote yes, with many featuring military motifs such as a general's hat, a reference to Gen Sisi.
Rights lawyer Ragia Omran told AFP at least seven activists have been detained in the last week for distributing posters or leaflets critical of the new constitution. Most were released after a few days.
The new draft of the constitution has removed a lot of the Islamist-inspired wording of Mr Morsi's constitution. This was suspended when he was removed from power.
Supporters claim it expands women's rights and freedom of speech.
The powers of the military have been boosted. If passed, the army would have the right to appoint the defence minister for the next eight years and prosecute civilians for attacks on the armed forces.

Luke Hayes plays his junior college football at Kansas' Butler County Community College. Before that, he was a standout at Scott City (Kan.) High School. He's as much a Kansan as Auntie Em or the world's largest ball of twine.
Hayes holds scholarship offers from both Kansas and Kansas State among others. But the in-state schools shouldn't expect some kind of hometown nod. Instead, they'll get the opposite. The staffs at KU and K-State will have to work to keep Hayes home next season. Wanderlust is starting to take hold, and the allure of a scenery change is strong.
"I actually kind of want to get out of the state," Hayes said on Monday. "But I'm not too sure yet. That's just what I'm thinking now."
Article Continues Below
Of the schools that have offered to this point, Hayes says he hears from K-State and Arizona the most. Aside from offering the whole "not in Kansas" aspect Scott seems to be searching for, Rich Rodriguez's Tucson-based program has caught the three-star prospect's eye with other pitches.
"At Arizona, I can come in and compete for a starting job for them," Hayes said. "They are kind of a newer staff there. This is their second year. The fans are pretty excited about what they did last year because it was the first time they made a bowl game in quite a while."
K-State, however, is not sitting idle while Arizona scoops up one of its native targets. Bill Snyder's staff is combatting the Grand Canyon State's excitement with a sense of familiarity. Ask Hayes which staff has built the strongest relationship to this point, and he gives a direct answer.
It's the main reason K-State is still in the running. It certainly has nothing to do with geography.
"Best relationship right now would probably be K-State because I talked to them a little in high school," Hayes said. "I already know Coach (Charlie) Dickey. I know their recruiting guy, too. His dad is actually our D-line coach at Butler. As far as being most comfortable with the coaches, it's K-State because I already knew them before."
While K-State and Arizona are in most frequent contact with Hayes, Baylor, Kansas, Kentucky and N.C State are also starting to apply the press. Michigan State and Arizona State are in the early stages of the process but have yet to offer a scholarship.
With new interest coming in steadily and schools continuing to make pitches, Hayes says he is in no hurry to end his recruitment. He doesn't intend to make a verbal commitment until after the upcoming season.
"I'm just keeping my options open right now," he said. "I haven't even thought about visits yet. I'll probably have that decision made around mid October, as far on which schools I want to visit."

Consumer Affective Responses to Direct Mail Messages: The effect of gratitude and obligation
By Natalia Kolyesnikova, Sara Sullivan Dodd, Coy Callison
Direct Mail
"Communicating through gratitude, and even neutral, messages was found to be more persuasive than those messages conveying obligation."
Source: Consumer Affective Responses to Direct Mail Messages: The effect of gratitude and obligation; Natalia Kolyesnikova, Sara Sullivan Dodd, Coy Callison; Journal of Marketing Communications; Dec. 2011, Vol. 17 Issue 5, p337-353.
Activity Tested: This direct mail study considers the capacity of gratitude marketing messages and obligation marketing messages to act as separate affective influences upon consumer purchase intent and attitudes.
- Example of gratitude-inducing marketing message: 'We appreciate a good neighbor, a good friend, and, of course, a good wine. At our winery, we truly appreciate good customers like you. Come by anytime. For you, our door is always open.'
- Example of obligation-inducing marketing message: 'We count on you to recognize our hard work. We press the best grapes to make our wines. Now we press ourselves to get them ready. The time is ripe. Where are you?'
Hypothesis 1: Gratitude-inducing messages will have a stronger effect on consumer purchase intent than will obligation-inducing messages.
Hypothesis 2: Gratitude-inducing messages will be associated with more positive, favorable overall perception of the company, while obligation-inducing messages will be associated with more negative, unfavorable perception of the company.
Method: The authors used a scenario of a small winery sending direct mail (follow-up postcards) to tasting room visitors. Wine was chosen because its consumers are frequently described as having "emotional attachment and relatively high product involvement."
Top-Line Results:
A total of 6 postcards were used (i.e. two gratitude inducing, two obligation-inducing, and two neutral controls). All six postcards looked identical, varying only in the text message.
Measures: The study included two main dependent measures: purchase intent and attitude toward the company. After viewing each marketing postcard, the participants responded to the key measures of interest.
Sample: A total of 124 subjects were recruited to participate in the two-session study. The first group consisted of 64 former and current students of a continuing education wine appreciation class offered through a large public university. The second group consisted of 60 undergraduate students (seniors) enrolled in a hospitality management class at the same university. The researchers used these two groups of subjects helped to ensure the respondents' interest and involvement in the topic. Out of the 124 questionnaires collected four were discarded as incomplete, yielding a final sample size of 120 participants.
Of the 120 participants, 51% were female and 49% were male. The average age of the participants in the first group was 45 years old; more than 40% of the participants reported their annual household income to exceed $80,000; one-fourth of the group did not hold a college degree. Participants in the second group were between ages 19 and 27; more than one-third (34.6%) of the participants in this group reported their annual income to be lower than $20,000; and 91.2% in this group had a level of college education, but no degree.
Hypothesis 1 predicted that gratitude marketing messages would have a stronger influence on customer purchase intent than would obligation marketing messages.
- This hypothesis was proven; in examining likelihood of purchasing, the number of wine bottles likely to be bought and the dollar amount likely to be spent at the winery, gratitude consistently yielding more positive scores, followed by the the neutral control message, and then obligation.
Hypothesis 2 predicted that gratitude-inducing marketing messages would affect consumers' perceptions of the company as more favorable than would obligation-inducing marketing messages.
- This hypothesis was also supported. Data analysis revealed that participants had more favorable perceptions of the winery after viewing the gratitude messages than the obligation messages. Similarly, participants stated hey were more willing to visit the winery in the future and were more likely to recommend the winery to other people after the exposure to the gratitude postcards versus the obligation postcards.
Examining demographic characteristics for both hypotheses, the effect of the gratitude messages was stronger on older consumers. In contrast, the effect of obligation was stronger on younger consumers. The effect of gender and age was also tested; no significant main or interaction effects were found.
From the authors: "Because feelings of gratitude appear to exert a significant positive influence on buying intentions and attitudes toward the company, the incorporation of gratitude inducing messages into direct mail interactions with customers deserves serious consideration. Moreover, any use of obligation-inducing messages should be carefully scrutinized. Although creating a sense of obligation may have a short-term impact on sales, obligation may also create customer resistance to a long-term relationship with the company. Where the message deviates from gratitude or other positive affective response, it would be better for messages to err on the side of neutrality than to cross over to obligation."
"The use of control messages in this study revealed another important insight into the value of targeted messages. Conventional marketing wisdom posits that a negative message is more effective than a neutral message; the theory being that to leave consumers with a negative impression is better than leaving no impression at all (Brown, Homer, Inman, 1998). Contrary to this position, our findings suggest that neutrally worded messages in fact have the capacity to generate higher levels of purchase intent and more positive attitudes toward the company than messages that pressure the consumer."

Where Will I Be Seen?
If you have been diagnosed with melanoma and referred to the SCCA Melanoma Clinic, your first stop will most likely be at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance outpatient building on south Lake Union. Your team of melanoma specialists will review your information, do any additional tests, and discuss your diagnosis and treatment options with you.
If you have not been diagnosed with skin cancer, but are concerned about your moles, you may want to make an appointment at the Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery Center at UW Medical Center for an evaluation of your pigmented lesion, especially if you are at risk for melanoma.
Pigmented lesions include a variety of skin abnormalities, the most common being moles. Early diagnosis of melanoma is possible with dermoscopy and biopsy. People at high risk for melanoma can also benefit from the clinic's professional, confidential grid photography service, which allows doctors to assess changes in moles over time. People who are diagnosed with melanoma at the clinic are then referred on for dermatologic surgery or to medical or surgical oncology at SCCA.
Your cancer care team at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance offers comprehensive follow-up care once you complete your treatment. Our patients say that they find it reassuring to see the same specialists who treated them, all experts in skin cancer, for their follow-up visits.
If you were treated here at SCCA but do not live in the Seattle area, you may choose to receive your follow-up care with your local doctor. In that case, we usually ask patients to keep us up-to-date on their health status by phone or mail and have their test results sent to SCCA.
When treatment is over
Once treatment is over, here are some suggestions for staying healthy:
- Keep up your self-checks
Continue (or start) doing a monthly head-to-toe body check. Go to Screening and Detection for instructions on doing a self check.
- Stay in touch
Any new or ongoing symptoms, or any worrisome growths, bumps or spots should be reported to your medical oncologist or nurse practitioner right away. Use the guidelines in the Signs and Symptoms section to help you identify any trouble spots.
- Protect yourself
Protection from sun exposure should remain a top priority. See the Prevention section for information on how to do this successfully.
- Show up
Keep all of your follow-up appointments. These will allow your doctor to catch any new skin cancers early, and can also give you peace of mind.
- The skin cancer follow-up schedule
Your follow-up visits are very important. Your doctor will tailor your follow-up schedule to your individual needs, but here is a typical schedule:
- Melanoma
Melanoma can recur after it has been treated. It may return to the original site or turn up in other parts of the body, such as the liver or lungs.
- Basal cell cancer
Patients with basal cell cancer are likely to have a new or recurrent tumor within five years of the first one, so you will be seen for a thorough exam every six months for five years, and once a year after that.
- Squamous cell cancer
This kind of cancer can spread more easily than basal cell. For this reason, you will have a skin exam every three months for several years after treatment and then every six months after that.
Follow-Up After Treatment
As part of the Survivorship Program at SCCA, a clinic has been developed for general medical oncology survivors treated with conventional therapy. This clinic is the Medical Oncology Survivorship Team (MOST). For more information about the MOST program, click here.
Worrying about those visits?
Many people find that they experience a lot of fear and anxiety around the time they have a follow-up appointment. The question often lingers in the back of every cancer patient's mind: What if my cancer has come back? This is a common worry, and the staff at SCCA can help you cope with these strong emotions and refer you to other resources that can also help.

Argentina: Unionists block distribution of newspapers.
The secretary general of the CGT, Hugo Moyano, along with members of the labor union truck drivers, blocked again this morning the Distribution of the newspapers La Nacion and Clarin.
The demonstrators staged a protest outside the plant distribution of the two newspapers in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Barracas.
Moyano's men, who were driving about 30 private cars, had tried to close the gates of the above mentioned plant.
The leader of the CGT (General Confederation of Labor), responds and supports the government of Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.
The government is in an open fight with all means of communication.
After you enact law that restricting press freedom, is now pressing on the distribution channels of the newspapers.
The situation of newspapers in Argentina, is alarming.
This situation occurs not only in Argentina but throughout Latin America.
Populist leaders around Latin America are making Increasingly legal and political moves half to silence their critics, the president of the Inter American Press Association said Friday.
Tactics include revoking broadcast licenses, Fostering Hostility toward journalists and giving a free hand to government supporters who have attacked broadcast stations, Newsrooms and printing plants.
"We are extremely Concerned at the growing level in recent weeks of harassment and violence in various countries," Enrique Santos Calderon told The Associated Press at the opening of the regional association's annual meeting in Buenos Aires. "Democratic systems require a free and unfettered press."
In Argentina, top editors are criticizing President Cristina Kirchner, who this week signed a decree ordering newspapers and magazines to be sold exclusively in union-run stands. Editors fear the government will now be able to Prevent the distribution of newspapers that do not follow the ruling party line by Enlisting pro-government unions to shut them down.
"From now on the sale of newspapers will be the only commercial activity regulated by the state," said Gregorio Badeni, a constitutional law expert in Buenos Aires. "It is obvious that they aim to curtail the free development of the newspaper business, because they're putting conditions on the sale of their products."
Argentina is just a few millimeters into a new Venezuela. What is worrying is that society, especially the middle class has not reacted to the government's authoritarianism.
And my concern is that this conflict will lead to bloodshed.
Unfortunate but true.

This month's challenge was mashed potatoes and it was surprisingly hard to find something really novel. I tried a few different things, then put two recipes together. One uses lemon, which I love to use with everything else but had never before though to put it with potatoes. The other uses bean puree instead of milk and butter, so mashed potato is given a protein burst.
About 6 large potatoes
1 can cannellini beans
Olive oil
Zest of 1 lemon
1 bunch of spring onions (scallions)
3 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon thyme leaves (several sprigs) or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons chopped parsley (a small handful really)
1/2 cup buttermilk (or normal milk would suffice)
Black pepper and salt to taste
First the potatoes need to be chopped and put on to boil. I don't bother to peel them because I like the skins left on but I know that a lot of people don't so you may want to peel them. While the potatoes are cooking you can prepare the other part of the dish.
If you have chives on hand these could be used in place of the spring onions. I used fresh herbs because I had them on hand for once, but dried would be fine. Take your spring onions and herbs and chop them up finely. Crush the garlic and grate the lemon peel. Then heat about a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan and lightly cook the herbs and garlic, then set them aside.
Next, open the can of beans and drain them well. Tip them into a food processor and begin to puree them, adding one tablespoon of oil at a time until you have a nice consistency - it should be like hummus, not too dry, sort of smooth.
When the potatoes are cooked drain them, then add the herb mixture and bean puree to the pot. Pour in half of the buttermilk and begin to mash. Season with salt and pepper as you go and add the rest of the milk if you need it. Depending on your particular tastes and the type of potatoes used you may also want to add yet more milk, or a bit more butter or oil.
So that is it, that is my solution to the mashed potato challenge and I gotta say it would be easier if the task had been to use mashed potato in an interesting way and not make actual mashed potato. I have seen all sorts of interesting recipes for using mashed potato in sweets, pies, cakes, loads of things. Now I hope that I can manage to include the hyperlinks properly, and then next month the challenge is fudge so that should be fun!

" Brand: Layezee / Product Type: Single Mattress "
This is the mattress that we have on the bed in the guest bedroom. We have a single bed in here which we bought from Argos. We bought the mattress at the same time also from Argos. I wanted a fairly comfortable one as although we do not get many guests staying over; the bed often gets me creeping between the sheets to escape the snoring that goes on in my own bed!
==Price and availability==
The mattress is available from Argos and costs £150.
The mattress is 21 cm deep and fits a standard single bed of 90 cm wide and 190 cm long. The mattress has a knitted cover which is thick and gives the mattress quite a luxurious finish. The overall feel of the mattress is firm, in fact it is quite firm. There are 192 coils in the mattress as well as layers of memory foam. The mattress is classed as a no turn mattress so it is easy to care for. The reason why you do not need to flip it is that the layer of foam is thicker on top of the springs than the bottom so it would alter the feel of it.
==Comfort and feel==
Firstly, when the bed is made up with the sheet and the quilt, the mattress looks great. It does not sag, it sits firm and it makes the bed the centre piece of the room. When you get into bed, the bed offers you resistance at first and feels very hard but as you lay down the memory foam absorbs the impact of your body and it softens to your shape. I like quite firm mattresses which is why I like this one. I like the combination of coil springs and memory foam; it is like the best of both. The top of the mattress has a lovely quilted feel and it actually makes the mattress look really expensive. The mattress has a woven stripe effect to it that makes it have a rippled effect.
==A good night's sleep==
The mattress is really comfortable and I rather like sleeping in this bed. I prefer my own bed obviously as it is much larger but when I need to get away from the horrendous snoring, it is a good option. I like the spring coils and the foam, as it makes the bed firm but you also get the orthopaedic benefits of memory foam. I like the way it cushions the body and takes the strain away from my lower back. The downside to coil springs is that they harbour dust mites much more than memory foam alone; but let's not talk about that as it makes me feel a bit queasy!
I would recommend this bed; if you like a good firm mattress then you will like this one and it is moderately priced for one of this thickness.

MTV Interviews Chris Weitz
I love Chris, love his sensitivity and his sense of humor. I think he is going to do a great job with NM.
I didn't realize that Taylor had only worked 3 days on Twilight, I guess it makes sense, cause he character wasn't that big yet but still he is such a presence in the story that it surprised me a little. Talk about getting a lot of bang for your buck. Taylor's 3 days of work set him up for a lifetime of a great career I think.
LOL at Chris saying he took his shirt off and told Taylor he had 6 weeks to look that great!!! I love his sense of humor!!!
Great sense of humor.
I like him so much. I hope he does the book justice. He seems like a great director.
#4 I so agree with you, Carrie. 🙂
I love this director! He never fails to crack me up with his witty remarks! I'm crossing my fingers that New Moon is going to be fantastic and hopefully he comes back to do Breaking Dawn.
he kinda reminds me of christopher reeve. Like clark kent, superman-ish kinda way.
I really like Chris Weitz he's pretty funny!
Did anyone else hear Taylor and Kristen in the background giving and interview or something I really heard Taylor totally random just had to point that out.

Bingham (9-2) at Fremont (8-2)
5A state tournament quarterfinal
Friday, 3:30 p.m.
Parry's Power Guide: Bingham by 7
All-time series: Bingham leads 7-3
Coach vs. coach: Bingham's Dave Peck leads Fremont's Kory Bosgeiter, 2-0
Last meeting: Nov. 19, 2011, Bingham 30, Fremont 7 (5A championship)
It's been almost a year ago, but that day last November left a lasting impression with both the Bingham and Fremont football teams.
The Miners blasted the Silver Wolves 30-7 for the 5A state championship on Nov. 19 of last year. And while that glorious day will live on in the hearts and minds of Bingham High players, coaches, parents and fans forever, it brings back some bitter memories, both physically and emotionally, for the folks from Fremont.
"We used that game as an example of things we needed to fix that we didn't do well in that game," said Fremont coach Kory Bosgieter, whose team hosts the Miners in a 5A quarterfinal rematch on Friday. "Those are the things that we don't want to happen again.
"But last year was last year, and this year is this year. We're excited to play them again, and we're pleased with how our preparation has gone this week.
"Offensively, we were a little nicked up last year, and then our starting quarterback got his jaw broken in the first half," Bosgieter said of last year's lopsided title-game loss. "I feel much better about our injury situation this year. We're a lot healthier than we were a year ago."
Bingham quarterback Brady Lail has thrown for more than 1,500 yards and 19 touchdowns, and his top targets are Kalan Cantwell (7 catches for 512 yards and seven touchdowns) and Hayden Weichers (29 catches for 617 yards and nine TDs).
Running back Daniel Palepoi leads the Miners' ground game, rushing for over 1,100 yards and 11 touchdowns.
"That running back of theirs is excellent," Bosgieter said of Palepoi. "He's big, and he runs hard."
Jared Afalava and Drake Miller are the top tacklers for the Miners' defense.
"Bingham's a good team, and they're very well-coached and very athletic," Bosgieter said. "Their middle linebacker (Afalava) is very athletic and as highly recruited as anybody around. Their D-line gets up and goes, and their secondary is very good, too.
"Their quarterback throws the ball well; they have three very capable receivers with a good tight end, and their O-line is very well-coached.
"Bingham's strength is always their depth. They have so many quality guys on their team," Bosgieter said. "Dave (Peck) emphasizes the same things in his program that we emphasize in ours. They're fundamentally sound; they block well and they tackle well."
In turn, Bingham coach Dave Peck has nothing but good things to say about Fremont's program as well. He and Bosgieter have got a mutual admiration for each other's way of doing things and, the best thing about it is, it's totally sincere.
"I've got a lot of respect for Fremont," Peck said. "Their coaches do about as good a job as anybody out there. ... They're a no-nonsense team and are real physical. I think our programs are a lot alike. We both work on fundamentals a lot.
"The winner of this game is going to be the team that wins the turnover battle. Whoever takes care of the ball best will win it. We're looking forward to going up there and playing them. I think it's going to be a great game between two evenly-matched teams."
Peck's program has emerged as one of the premier powerhouses in Utah prep football history, winning back-to-back state championships and three 5A titles over the last five years. And in the two years the Miners didn't win it all during that span, they lost once in the finals and the other time in the semifinals. A win on Friday would send Bingham to the semifinals for the sixth straight year.
"I feel good about how our kids have come along this year, and right now our kids expect to win," Peck said. "We feel like that (strong postseason tradition) is an advantage for us. We've been there and done that."
For Fremont, the quarterback tandem of Cooper Kelley and Jordan Preator has been exceptional this season. Kelley has thrown for 1,300 yards and 10 touchdowns, while Preator has rushed for 629 yards — an impressive average of over 7 yards per carry — and five TDs. Nick Vigil spearheads the Silver Wolves' ground game with 802 yards rushing and 14 touchdowns.
Brock Smith and Rowdy Stucki are the Wolves' top receivers, combining for nearly 800 yards and seven touchdowns.
"Nick Vigil is a great football player and a terrific kid," Peck said of the opposing team's senior star. "He competes hard and plays hard all the time.
"We've got to be prepared. Defensively, we game plan and definitely try to stop what the other team does best. And we know when their different quarterbacks come into the game that we'll be playing two different styles of football."
Much like Peck, Bosgieter sized up the key to the game for the Silver Wolves, who own a near-perfect 13-1 record in state playoff appearances on their home field in Plain City.
"We've got to take care of the football, No. 1, and we've got to block and we've got to tackle. I think it'll come down to who takes care of the ball," he said. "We've got to get a lot of hats to the football on defense, something we've been pretty good at this season. I expect this to be a very good football game."
The two teams have faced one common opponent this season, with similar results. Bingham beat Layton 47-13 back on Sept. 9 during preseason play, and Fremont hammered the Lancers 40-0 in the two teams' Region 1 finale on Oct. 14.
Justin Pingree, Jake Wadsworth and Luke Hollingsworth lead the way for a stingy Fremont defense that has allowed little more than 10 points per game this season.
Fremont has given up a total of just 39 points in its last six games combined — less than seven points per game. Bingham, meanwhile, has piled up 316 points in its last eight outings — all but one of them wins — for an average of nearly 40 ppg.
So there you have it — one team's allowed only 39 points in its previous six games, the other's scoring more than 39 points per game the last eight times it's taken the field.
Something's definitely gotta give on Friday.

Max Brenner - Union Square Ratings and Reviews
Fun & a chocolate lover's dream! Kids had a great time. Food was fine and not a huge ripoff considering NYC. I would highly recommend if in NYC and have kids that love chocolate. My girls were in heaven. They have cute things that they do for the food. Mac and cheese came with a syringe of marinara sauce. Chicken fingers had a paint brush to brush on the sauce. They also were helpful with our nut allergy.
When we arrived this large restaurant was packed to the gills with teenagers waiting for tables. The waitstaff was courteous and tried their best to accommodate our reservation. The service and atmosphere were similar to what you'd expect at an Applebees. The desserts were inventive and fun, my kids and Mom were thrilled. My dessert tasted good but didn't seem especially fresh (chocolate tiramisu). The restaurant was very loud and a little dirty. I would go back again with kids for hot chocolate or treats during off hours.
My party arrived a few minutes behind schedule but we were seated immediately. Staff were quick and attentive. Food arrived in a timely manner and was tasteful and comforting. Had a great time and enjoyed the 90's music throwbacks. Will most certainly dine here again!
Went here for lunch and for the CHOCOLATE! Had the white chocolate chai tea. One of the waitresses said to her it tasted like Christmas. I couldn't have agreed with her more. It was divine. I also quite enjoyed the waffle chicken cheese steaks. This did not disappoint!
I was really excited to go here as I love the chocolate! Everything that could go wrong did. I had to send the food back because it was not cooked properly, I was waiting a long time for food and I got attitude from the staff. The manager did let me keep the desert as I was just unhappy and wanted my check to leave. I still left a great tip as I know waitress don't make a lot of money and she was working hard it was busy. I will not visit again but I will still eat the chocolate!!
Amazing service and fun brunch options for the choxolate lovers and even those that prefer more traditional eats. The whole family enjoyed the friendly service and unique menu. Mac n cheese burger, chocolate pizza, and marshmallow crepe with gummy bears were favorites! Fun family brunch for a day in the city!
I come here at least every few months so I imagine I've already written a review before. This place always gives me, my friends, and my family a 10/10 experience. The menu is constantly updated and I appreciate the effort and creativity that goes into everything, from the menu's design to the cocktails to the decor. Service is always impeccable, whether during off-peak hours or evenings when there's a crowd at the front full of people hoping to get a table despite not booking a reservation. I've been here for birthdays, dinners right before screenings of classic movies at the Regal across the street, holiday get-togethers to catch up with people I haven't seen in ages, and more casual nights where a friend and I wonder, "where's a go-to that never fails?" This is such a special place, and I would say that even people far less sentimental than me would agree. This time around, I got a macchiato in a kangaroo cup (fun!) with the chocolate chunks pizza (yum! although very filling), while friends got the tea (very cute design) and appetizers (yummy and affordable). My favorite cocktail here is the White Chocolate Russian, and I recommend going to brunch here if you're a fan of fluffy pancakes and heavenly chocolate-based delights. Everyone -- from the host stand to those at the bar to the servers and bussers -- are outstandingly kind and are always without pretension. I very much appreciate the vibe here, and I want to thank the team here for another happy evening! Keep it up, guys!
I went there on a Sunday for Brunch and ordered the Hazelnut Hot Chocolate and the Napoleon French Toast. While the hot chocolate tasted really good, the presentation was not. I mean, the cup that they use to store the hot chocolate in, it's a oval shape saucer-ish cup. I spilled it when I accidentally brushed one end of it and it tipped forward. Plus, the waitress didn't give me a spoon for it (until I asked), so was I suppose to drink it through the smaller end of the "cup"?
The Napolean French Toast was very dry. While it's not burnt, it's still very hard (or crispy, if you will); not how French Toast should be.
My girlfriends and I took a short weekend trip to NY. While there, We decided to have brunch at Max Brenner. The food was lovely, but unfortunately we came on the wrong day. There was a birthday party for 35 screaming kids which made it hard to enjoy the rest of our meal. Outside of that, I would definitely recommend Max Brenner again.
My party was seated within 5 mins of arriving after having made our reservations 15 mins prior and arriving early. Place was packed and lively. Was seated next to a bunch of loud college students but it was a Late Saturday night in Union Square and with NYU around the block that's to be expected.
Was a good experience otherwise I'll be back again!
Very noisy and crowded place. You will have no privacy sitting down. Your chair will be few inches away from another person not in your party!!!!
Food was good, but nothing special about it. You can get similar food at many other places. I have table reserved, but I had to wait 30 min to get table!!!
frustratign experience at checkin .
made our rez thru open table for 2 - moments later i updated it to 4 - when we checked in we were told the rez was for 2 only - we were told to wait - almost 30 minutes later we still weren't seated . when we checked back in at hostess stand it showed our rez as a no show - the hostess didn't check us in properly we waited for nothing - the restaurant has plenty of available tables error by the hostess/restaurant - frustrating....
I've wanted to eat at Max Brenner's for a long time, and have been many times to buy chocolate syringes (which are absolutely delicious). When I finally went with my boyfriend, the experience was awful- the "table" I had reserved ended up being a communal booth, so we were wedged between other couples, all of us trying to talk over each other and the waiters having us shout to order our food. The food was fine, but the terrible atmosphere led the place to feel more like a chain restaurant than anything. I was expecting MUCH better. We didn't even want to stay for dessert (our original goal, because they have an impressive dessert menu) because it was so loud and hard to relax. Not good for a romantic night. Overwhelming dessert menu and underwhelming dinner menu. I might stop by for chocolate syringes in the future, but I will NEVER bother booking a "table" again.
It was all okay BUT even when I went to the hostess to ask about my reservation she said she'd 'check me in' so that she knows I'm here but then when I went to check again after waiting for 45 minutes they had completely lost my reservation and I was no longer in the system. My reservation was at 6:15 pm and it was already 7 pm and I was still waiting for a table meanwhile people who had reservations at 7:15 already were getting a table (even with the same amount of guests). The hostess there at the time wasn't very friendly and often times didn't even raise her head from the computer to greet any of the people infront of her. Not a good experience.
Everything was on par. The only thing I'd add is that they didn't share with my server my request to sing Haply Birthday to my sister. I added this during my OT reservation but I had to ask my server in cognito, to make it happen. She was gracious and gave us a brownie with the sparkler she said if she had know it would have come with our dessert.)

(Food Network Kitchens) Who knew? Baked potatoes and even burritos can be healthy fare. That's the word from the Food Network Kitchens, which has assembled a list of 10 favorite foods most of us just assumed tasted too good or were too fattening to be healthy. Guess again! Find out what would happen to your diet if you only ate food that is advertised on television. The top 10 foods that are healthier than you ever thought:
1. Avocado
Avocados are loaded with fat–but it's the good kind: heart-protecting monounsaturated fat. And that is precisely what makes this tempting fruit so good for you.
2. Spaghetti and Meatballs
Beef contains iron and protein. The tomato sauce is packed with lycopene. And the pasta has energy-producing carbohydrates. It's a healthy trifecta as long as you watch the portion size and use lean beef.
3. Bananas
Packed with vitamin B-6, fiber, potassium and lutein, a medium banana has roughly the same calories (around 100) as a medium apple. Eat and enjoy!
4. Peanut Butter
Yes, it contains fat, but 30 percent of your daily calories should come from healthy fats, making peanut butter a great choice. Plus, it's loaded with protein, fiber and vitamin E.
5. Coffee
Coffee not only helps pry open your eyes in the morning, but also gives you a healthy dose of antioxidants. Research has shown that people who drink coffee have a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes and improved mental health as they age.
6. Burritos
Fill your burrito with veggies, rice, beans and small portions of meat, and this Tex-Mex treat will pretty much meet all your nutritional needs without overloading the calories.
7. Chicken Thighs
Dark meat chicken needs a new PR rep. While many shun it for being fatty and artery-clogging, the meat is fine. It's only the skin you should avoid. Like avocados, dark meat is high in healthy monounsaturated fats.
8. Eggs
Yes, eggs do contain some cholesterol, but healthy men and women can eat up to two eggs a day without significantly increasing their blood-cholesterol levels.
9. Potatoes
Loaded with five grams of fiber, four grams of protein, 10 percent of your daily iron requirements and 70 percent of your daily vitamin C needs, a medium potato–at just 165 calories–is a nutrition powerhouse.
10. Corn
Yes, it's a starchy vegetable, but corn is starchy because it's actually a grain. In addition to protein and fiber, corn has energy-producing B-vitamins.

Motorola may shift channel strategy
Post a comment
Motorola Inc.'s decision to spin off the Semiconductor Components Group (SCG) from the rest of its chip business is likely to affect the chip maker's overall distribution efforts, which have been managed by SCG executives.
Distribution-industry executives last week said Motorola planned to use the move as an opportunity to abolish its shelf-sharing policy, which limits the number of Asian competitors its distributors can represent. The executives, speaking on the condition that their names not be used, said Motorola privately relayed those intentions, but was not yet ready to make a formal announcement.
A Motorola spokesman said last week the company has no plans to change its distribution lineup or its policies at this time.
After decades of banning Asian competitors from its North American channel entirely, Motorola in late 1997 modified that policy to allow its distributors to carry a single Asian line.
"That decision came about after an enormous amount of study and examination of the [customer-related] issues, and management doesn't see anything in separating the SCG from the SPS that would dictate a change in that policy," the Motorola spokesman said. "We want to be able to continue to use the channel most effectively, but at the same time maintain our competitive position."
For nearly two years now, the distribution operations for Motorola's Semiconductor Products Sector have been handled out of Geneva by Steve Hanson, who will head up the soon-to-be-independent SCG. Hanson has also been instrumental in establishing Motorola's distribution policies.
Motorola didn't say who would oversee distribution for the Semiconductor Products Sector. But the Motorola spokesman said both SPS and SCG plan to stick with the same distribution roster, which in North America includes Arrow Electronics, Avnet, Future Electronics, Wyle Electronics, and the Newark Electronics catalog.
As reported by EBN last week, Motorola said SCG, which primarily sells standard discrete, analog, and logic semiconductors, would be more effective as a stand-alone entity. The company believes SCG's high-volume, low-margin business model contrasts with that of SPS, which focuses more on solution-oriented products, such as microprocessors, microcontrollers, and DSPs.
With OEMs' continuing efforts to reduce the number of vendors with which they do business, dealing with two Motorola semiconductor entities may not be seen as as advantage, according to some distributors. The commodity-oriented SCG doesn't have the same appeal as Motorola's high-tech semiconductor products and may be viewed as a "me-too" offering, they said.
Others see the SCG separation as an opportunity for increased focus both inside and outside Motorola SPS.
"I think there's incredible intrinsic value in the Motorola name, so the portion of the business that remains within the Motorola organization, focusing on proprietary products, is an extraordinary franchise to have," said Michael Rohleder, chief executive of including Wyle Electronics Inc. "The history and the legacy of Motorola will carry through in the new SCG business.
"If you look at the game plan," he continued, "the discrete business has the resources of Motorola behind it, the customer reach, and the involvement of Motorola in the overall business. You add to that the ability to make the business more cost-effective and service-oriented, and [what distributors have] is another really good line."
Steve Church, president of Avnet Electronics Marketing, Phoenix, said he viewed Motorola's move as "both a positive and a negative. The positive is that Motorola is obviously making a decision to become more focused, much as National and AMD have. Motorola wants to be able to focus on commodity products through SCG and focus on its technology products through the SPS, and they feel they need a different sales and marketing effort in those two different areas.
"The only downside is, we-and by extension the customer-have to interface with two different groups, losing the synergy of a single Motorola. At the same time, we're gaining a more viable and efficient supplier because of their decision to focus."
About 25% to 30% of SPS' volume is handled through the channel, and Motorola is one of the broadest-based suppliers of semiconductors to distributors and their customers. As such, the company has a tremendous amount of clout in the channel, and last year enforced its "one-Asian" policy with Future. Currently, Arrow Electronics is seen as testing the waters. Arrow acquired Bell Industries Inc.'s Electronics Distribution Group, which sells several Asian lines.

Bulimia Nervosa
Bulimia (say "boo-LEE-mee-uh") is an eating disorder that causes people to eat a large amount of food in a short time (binge). Then they do something to get rid of the food (purge), like vomit, exercise too much, or take laxatives.
A person who has bulimia may be a normal size and deny that there's a problem. But over time, it can cause serious health problems. With treatment, many people can stop the binge-purge cycle.

Sally Mitcham was baptised not in a church, but in a pub in 1976.
She was the four-week-old daughter of Robert and Patricia Mitcham, who ran the Red Lion. Mrs Mitcham said: "I thought it was a good idea as she will be brought up here."
The ceremony was conducted by the Rev Bruce Findlow, principal of Manchester College, Oxford. He is seen holding Sally, watched by godmother Mrs B Mortonson and Mr and Mrs Mitcham on the right.
The middle picture was taken in 1963 at the village soap factory and shows Mrs S Brain slicing blocks of soap in the cutting department.
In the bottom picture, Gladys Turner is seen on duty as the crossing keeper on the Oxford-Bicester railway line in 1972. The line had closed to passenger trains in 1968, but remained open for freight.

If I remember correctly you may have to relock your bootloader to run an RUU. Think of it this way, once your s-off you can do whatever you want to do. Upgrade/Downgrade hboots, splash screens, radios, run any ruu you want it's way better. As long as it shows s-off your good to go & it shouldn't ever come back on unless you turn it back on. Although I heard it is possible that HTC may be able to trigger an s-on with say an OTA update but I have never heard of that actually happening on any model HTC that I'm aware of.
