What the hell is happening with CBA. The price is way beyond its value. I cant believe that people are just chasing dividends. It must fall off the cliff soon.
"Today's downgrade of the Canadian banks reflects our ongoing concerns that Canadian banks' exposure to the increasingly indebted Canadian consumer and elevated housing prices leaves them more vulnerable to unpredictable downside risks facing the Canadian economy than in the past."
Australian banks are worse. They doubled up on their housing bet.
Michael, can I have each member of government sign a guarantee for the borrowed funds or will I have to come to the rescue at a later stage and also pay them a pension while I am at it.
Looks like someone struck a nerve with the neighbourhood bears 8-|
I don't see any bears. Just posters who expect good manners.
Fish. Barrel. Gun. Bang.
hmmm has this government finally found a way of wrecking the banks as well, 'covered bonds' for some reason I keep thinking America and $10 houses.
It's funny how there are so many Doomsayers. Whenever they come out.
If the bottom of the market in 2008 it's all tyhe end of the World stuff and now the market is recovering and Blue chips like CBA keep getting stronger they try and say it will crash????
Well I nevre listed to those F... Wits and never will.
I purchased CBA at $25 in 2008 and now sitting on 150% profit with incresing dividends tax free......
Keep on winging if that's what puts a smile on your face!!!!
Oh dear, we seem to have upset someone. Calm down, better for your health and you will survive to spend your earnings.
"Success" has made you extremely angry. I wonder why.
F... Wits? Charming turn of phrase you have.
CBA 30% overpriced, just like property. Added to shorts at $65.
Congratulations on buying the low. But what stocks did you hold prior to the crash? And what did you pay for them?
Why don't you invest in a dictionary while you're on a roll. ?
Thanks James
It is a good thing to have a balance of optimism and pessimism. This blog has a balance and includes those on the fence at times.
What led you to invest in CBA in 2008?
- govt guaranteed deposits
- ff div with good yield
- increase dominance in mortgage market due to collapse of competition
Any others or did you just try your luck?
Australian real estate prices have a long, long, long, way to go to reach the lofty valuations of Hong Kong real estate.
Still, half the world's population live in Asia and most people would love to live in and buy Australian real estate. It's clean and beautiful.
If economically the 21st century will belong to Asian peoples then Australian real estate owners look to be a major beneficiary. The AUD is a bit expensive being supported by large economies debasing their own currencies.
Real estate booms always begin in high end Sydney real estate. Sydney has done nothing since 2003 but some record prices are now occurring at the high end. It's just a trickle at the moment but when the AUD returns to historical levels, Australian real estate will look more enticing.
Australia is looking at economic problems? Just turn on the immigration tap.
Not a problem, mate! Walang problema, pare!
Immigration has been going full bore throughout that period and Sydney has gotten more crowded and jammed and still the Sydney property market has been going nowhwere since 2003. Honkers prices is a special case inapplicable to a country like Australia and should it ever be engineered here, would lead, quite rightly to revolution..
Clearly, Santiago, there are other factors that matter more.
Hong Kong also due for another 40% crash.
So what happens when the All Ords hits 5000pts do I put my Super into cash and wait to see how far it plunges before I pick the bottom and reinvest? I need free advice as all my Financial Advisor has said is "sign here and give me your money". Advice is------------?
markets will follow the US crisis... if they reach another gridlock then get worried and move to cash otherwise there is a rally underway in share markets currently with no signs of weakness...
Stop losses or sell CFD's to the number of shares you hold in your super You'll only need about 7% of your super balance and will stay neutral until you buy back the CFD's.
I am starting to think the market has been taken over by Goldfish !.
The share market reminds me of 2007. It seems to rise half a percent every day.
2007 is not the comparison. It should be reminding you of the early 1990's, the last time we started the rebound from a cataclysmic financial market shock. As I said in my first posting early last year, consumers will only keep their wallets in their pockets for so long, and 5 or 6 years is about the mark. If you ask around there are signs everywhere of things rebounding, and the market is a forward looking indicator. The wealth being created will now reinforce consumers' perceptions that the worst is over, and become a self-fulfilling prophecy. This time next year it will be hard to imagine there was a time when all the news was negative and airtime was given to nutters calling down plagues from the heavens. And we are also seeing the seeds of the next cycle of property price growth. I'm not saying the boom starts tomorrow, because the equity markets will still remain volatile around an upward trend for maybe the next year, but this is how the cycle always starts: the market rises, confidence returns, wealth increases and people begin to think about moving money out of the market into property.
It might seem like that however Oct 15th 2009 ASX 4859. So in over 3 years we have not gone that far yet
You have been calling for the next property boom for three years now.
Unemployment rising, emergency interest rates, property prices falling.
The biggest falls are ahead.
I think people are getting a little ahead of themselves already.
"You've been calling the next property boom for 3 years now".
My first post here was about one year ago, so that claim is about as accurate as everything else you write. And even today, let alone 12 months ago, I am not saying there is a boom coming tomorrow. I was quite explicit about that, but alas posts cannot be dumbed down enough for some. I am simply pointing out that the seeds of the next cycle of property price growth are being planted now, by rising confidence and wealth, as they are at this point in every cycle.
I pretty sure you need it dumbed down for yourself. You have been all over the property blogs for 3 years calling the next boom. There are no seed of the next boom, the bust is yet to be in full swing. NY metro crashed back to 2001 levela and so will Sydney and Melbourne.
Figured out the difference between georgist and socialist yet?
What the hell is happening with CBA. The price is way beyond its value. I cant believe that people are just chasing dividends. It must fall off the cliff soon.
Bell Potter buy rating and updated price target to $68?
BA is increasing its FY dividend payout ratio to 70% to 80%
EPS and DPS are being upgraded due to rising NIM, falling bad debts, and better equity markets (Colonial)
On FY14 CBA's yields 9.00% pre-tax vs. 2.70% for a 3yr AGB and sub 4.00% for a TD.
Our forecast for CBA's FY14 dividend is 384c, with risks to the upside. Putting that on a 5.00%ff yield = a CBA price target of $76.80.
Adding to shorts.
To quote someone or other, "the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent"!
coming up to a div ex date... plus US crisis on hold and rating upgrades accompanied by a likely slightly higher than expected div
The view in the market is that buying CBA is paying for quality recurring earnings without the surprises that some other banks come out with (eg write downs in US / UK)... that this pov has been bandied around at late and that there are no major sellers is driving the price higher...
Only because your not holding it
by rating upgrades in my earlier post I meant analyst upgrades / price targets rising
Messing your shorts
I don't believe. I see bulls, many more bulls.
Ding dong ding dong. AO now 4900.
AO now 4900. Ding dong.
If it continues at this rate we'll see it at 5000 before the end of the week.
Pathetic market. The blue chips have only rallied 25 % in the last six months. URGH.
Make that 27%.
What is happening now and the disasters like Sandy in the USA, blizzards in Europe, the return of drought and fires to south eastern Australia, etc, is precisely why I steered clear of the so called "cheap" QBE shares last year. You may not realise it, but from a physics 101 point of view, a one degree rise in the average global temperature is a huge total increase in atmospheric energy and therefore the realise of that energy in the atmosphere, is going to power a lot more extreme weather events, from floods, cyclones and tornadoes, to droughts and blizzards. Not good propects for insurers or people who are bull headed and irresponsible.
I hope you were paying alttention last year when I said CSL, COH and RMD are that extraordinarily rare thing in Australia, great, well managed companies - with a future.
I asume by "bull headed and irresponsible" you mean those who dont agree with you. Less proselytising please.
The other side of that argument is that insurers will have a strong argument to jack up their premiums whenever they want...
However QBE has a lot of money in fixed interest earning very little right now (especially in the US). This doesn't look like changing in the short term... given this it is hard to see a strong profit rebound anytime soon.
Cheap for a reason might be a better way of describing it...
Nobody should doubt that the science of what is exactly happening is very difficult and full of unknowns. But on the other hand nobody should spit in the face of one of the most fundamental theories of all science - thermodynamics - as do the doubters, many irresponsible politicians, the heavily funded think tanks, conpiracy theorists and those who believe they have a personal hotline to the Almighty..
People will always need insurance. Higher payouts = higher premiums. If anything the insurers can profit by upping premiums more than the increase in payouts, using natural disasters as an excuse.
Ah yes the laws of thermodynamcis, the very laws the doomsayers have such a tenuous hold on. I fully expect to be out of the market by the time the laws of thermodynamcis kicks in, in fact I will have been dead about 30,000 years before any impact of thermodynamics will be felt.
Allan have to agree - put it on the short list.
You do realise that pumping billions of tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere must, by the said laws of physics, have an effect. That is inescapable. The devil still being worked out is how severe, how quickly and in what ways this effect wll work out.

Good morning , today a thousand csl shares sold through Etrade but the abbreviation next to it was not ASX rather CXA, can anyone shed some light on that? thanks if anyone can
its the other exchange chi x
I'd say it's Chi-X Australia (http://au.chi-x.com/), the "new" competitor to the ASX.
Chi-X Australia - their homepage has a list of trading participants.
They pay a third party commission to the ASX (see the ASX's rules).
The CX portion suggests a crossing of some description. Often when a broker has two clients willing to buy and sell the same amount of shares, the broker will transact with itself on behalf of the clients. Not entirely sure but that would be my educated guess.
thanks guys,
SPIs from previous day were 31 but watch at 10.10am
I am shocked by the events of 10:10am. Sigh...there's always tomorrow.
Gee it's nice to be wrong

Looks good
A Christmas gift for my wife (she's a big Keroppi fan) I inspected the travel mug before wrapping and everything appears good. My only complaint would be the instructions are in Japanese with pictograms of what not to put in the travel mug. I think two are pretty obvious (Milk and Coke) but I'll have to see when my wife opens her present whether she can use it for tea and coffee during her morning commute.

How to Clean a Hamster Cage
Did you just get a hamster and not know how to clean the cage? There is a right way and a wrong way to clean a hamster's cage. It's not like washing your hands either. You need to get down into the germs and clean it out the best you can.
1First, put your hamster inside their running ball or inside a fun play box.
2Gather the materials listed in the Things You'll Need section. You can also use water in a bucket if you don't have a hose to get water.
3Empty out the bedding from the cage into the trash bag. Make sure to get out all the bedding. Throw away all the old food in his/her dish.
4Put the trash bag somewhere where it won't get wet or in the way.
5Take the water and rinse extra junk out of the bottom and sides of the cage. It will be less messy when you go to wash it.
6Take out the Pine-sol or soap that you have and scrub with a rag. Wash any tubes or toys from the dirty cage. Try to keep it clean.
7Rinse it out very well so you get out the Pine-sol or soap that you have is completely off the cage.
8Dry the cage with a towel so the hamster doesn't get soaked. If water gets on a hamster, it has a risk of death. Hamster are prone to getting pneumonia.
9Put some baking soda on the bottom to help with smell in the future. Add the bedding and put back any tubes or toys that your hamster owns.
10Assemble all of the pieces of cage back together.
11Take your hamster out of the ball and put it back in the cage.

Answered QuestionsAdd New Question
Ask a Question
- Make sure to put the food and water back in the cage.
- So you can kill all the germs, use a disinfectant. If you do, rinse it all out!!
- Hamsters are prone to pneumonia which can cause death. It is imperative that you thoroughly dry the cage and all attached tubing prior to putting your hammy back in. A rag can be stuck through the tube and pulled out the other side to dry well. If you cannot get a rag all the way through, place the tubing somewhere to dry separate from the cage.

Names Like Emma
November 8th, 2012
Names like Emma. It's a tricky one. From a Jane Austen novel to the set of Friends, she's sweetly old-fashioned and yet terribly modern. She's worn by young starlets, Stone, Roberts, and Watson, and yet for many of us, it may be the (slightly) older Emma Thompson who first shone a light on her beauty. She's both sensible and feminine, a daddy's little girl and a force in the boardroom. Here are a few names that come close, in different ways, to encapsulating Emma's myriad likeable qualities. Please resist the urge to do Emma and Ella. If I had to pick just one name to be her heir, it would be Alice.
Siblings could lean more old-fashioned. I think if you already have an Emma, you can stand to really embrace her throwback style and go all out a second time:
Sisters: Frances, Harriet, Jane, Mary, Winifred
Brothers: Alistair, Clarence, Frederick, Hugh, Peter
Twin Girls, A Namer's Dream
September 27th, 2011
The consultation bonanza continues, but this time we have twice as much work ahead of us because Amber is expecting twin girls. She writes:
Hi Elisabeth!
I love reading your blog and am hopeful that you and your readers can help me! My husband and I are having a terrible time trying to come up with names for our twin girls. I love feminine, romantic names but want to stay away from anything too popular. We both love the name Charlotte, but I feel like every other baby that I encounter these days is named Charlotte. Another name that we are both fond of is Estelle. The problem with Estelle is that it was my Maternal Great Grandmother's name and since I was very close to both my Maternal and Paternal Great Grandmothers I feel strange about honoring one and not the other (for the record Great Grandmother # 2′s name was Ethel Frances – I'm not a fan of Ethel and my husband doesn't like Frances even for a middle name). I'm considering striking Estelle from the list for that reason alone.
Add in our extremely long, hard to spell-and-pronounce last name and I'm stumped. In light of the last name I feel like we should use something short and simple to spell but my heart is with longer, romantic names. Also to save you from having to Google, our last name is of Laotian decent and is pronounced Vong-sam-pon. My husband immigrated to the US as a child from Laos and I'm an American "mutt" so our children will be half Asian, half Caucasian.
For additional info, names that I love but have been vetoed include Claudia and Colette. Names that are still on our "long list" include Adia, Alice, Blair, Danica, Noelle, Paige. They are all fine names – I just don't LOVE any of them. Any advice or suggestions you have would be so appreciated! Thank you so much!!
We are still far from agreement but we have found that we really like Rose as a first name. I've also come up with the name Faith to be used to honor my Paternal Great Grandmother as she was very religious. I'm not a big fan of Faith as a first name, but by using it as a middle name I feel like I can keep Estelle on the table. Anyway, like I said, we are still miles away from a decision but those are the latest names we've hit on. Hope you are doing great and thanks again!
Amber I'm so glad you have come to us. Congratulations on your impending babes! What fun that we get to live vicariously through you as you get to name two little ladies at once. But perhaps it's not all fun and games for you. Let's see if we can parse this out.
There are actually three names that SCREAM out at me from reading your letter. Charlotte, Estelle, and Rose. You both love these names as first names, right? That's huge! Don't discount your favorites just because on may be getting popular. This is the name that you're going to be calling your child every day for the rest of her life, the name that she will always live with and introduce herself as. For you both to love the name Charlotte is nothing short of monumental. It sounds great with either Rose or Estelle, and I think it's one to keep on the list.
You also both love Rose as a first name. It's a very common middle as you probably know, but as a call name? Highly underused. It's recognizable the world over and it's one syllable is brilliant with your lengthy foreign surname. Another winner.
Third, you both love Estelle. Why look elsewhere? You have me wishing triplets on you. I completely understand wanting to honor both your great-grandmothers and think that's definitely still possible in the middle. If you honored one girl with Estelle, would you honor the other with Faith in the middle?
You said you didn't love the name Faith, but because your grandmother was religious, feel it would be an appropriate homage to her. Are there other names that might honor her equally well that you actually love? For example, Faye and Fidelity both represent faith, but you also might want to consider her birth month, stone, or flower. Is there anything else that she particularly loved that might represent her? Alternatively, does your husband have anyone on his side of the family he would like to honor?
Twins' names are tricky. You want names that balance one another, but are decidedly different so as to help them craft their own identities. Estelle and Rose, Rose and Charlotte, or Charlotte and Estelle all work brilliantly. They are more eternally classic than some of the other names on your list (Blair and Paige come to mind). Alice from your long list works beautifully with your top choices too. I'm sorry your husband doesn't like Frances.
Should you want to branch out beyond your top names, here are a few sweetly quaint names that might be a good match with your family.
Vera, Verity
Readers, what would you do in Amber's situation? Has Charlotte reached its saturation point, or is it a classic that will stand the test of time? What name pairings do you like?

Girls' Gone Child Had The TWINS!!!
September 13th, 2011
The mystery is solved. After months of plotting, scheming, guessing, canoodling, and even attempts at bribing the mother in question, Rebecca Woolf has given birth today to twin girls. (We've talked about this before here AND here).
Their names, as previously indicated, begin with R and B. Rhythm and Blues they are not.
Last chance. Anyone want to venture a guess?
They are so her. Perfectly lovely in every way, and word names of French extraction.
Let it be known that the twins' names are
Reverie Lux, 5lbs 3oz, 18 inches and
Boheme Shalom, 5lbs 12oz, 18.5 inches
They join siblings Archer Sage and Fable Luella. As per her tweets, one is raven haired and the other is flaxen. Yin and yang.
I feared my hopes for a little Reverie had been dashed when they revealed that Revere Blaze had been on of their picks for a boy (Vox Shepherd was the other). Reverie was my favorite R! Yea! And Boheme? SO them, so right for this child, and just delightful to say aloud.
Their names are a gift from Bec and Hal, as if to say, "Dare to dream! Be an individual! Peace and Light!"
They done good.

Rhythm & Blues
July 20th, 2011
A big thank you to my readers Kristen and Debbie for urging a return to this topic:
Rebecca Woolfe is just taunting us! After our speculative Girl's Gone Child post I really wanted to let her completely surprise us, but she has alluded to twins "Rhythm and Blues"– their pseudonyms, and even bought the letters "R" and "B" for their room! So it seems a second shot at this is inevitable.
The question remains, after son Archer and daughter Fable, will she stick to word names for her twin daughters? My gut tells me yes. How will the names relate to one another?
Here are a few "R" and "B" names that to me, feel very her. We'll have to wait until October to find out what they choose for sure!
B: Babette, Bijou, Boheme, Bronwen, Briar,
Blythe (on the discarded list, sadly), Bryony, Bronwen, Bard, Bright, Bloom, Bliss, Ballad, Bellamy, Brio
R: Reve, Reverie, Ray, Rhea, Rain, Raven, Rhapsody, Roxanne, Roxy/ie, Regina, Renata, Rio, Romy, Rowena, Rue, Runa, Ruth, Rune, Rowan
I absolutely love the way Reverie flows, its dreamy connotations, and the nickname "Rev" feels very rock and roll. Rune, a name I was previously unfamiliar with, has a layered meaning I can see appealing to them: according to Behind the Name, it's derived from the Old Norse and means "secret lore." Pronounced with two syllables, it's a common name in Norway, though the Irish have a word with similar meaning, rùn.
For the Bs, Bloom keeps calling to me, as does Bijou. It's so hard to speculate beyond this. I do love how R and B honor the mother (Rebecca nicknamed Bec), and wonder if this was subliminal or intentional. What do you think Bec and Hal will name their baby girls? What do you like paired together? Renata and Bloom ? Rune and Bijou . . .?
Twin Names: Should They Be Shorter?
July 19th, 2011
Hi Elisabeth, my name is Nicola. My husband Francisco (Frankie) and I have four children and are currently expecting our fifth and six — boy/girl twins. Our oldest child is from my previous marriage and her name is Cherry Guadalupe, named for my ex's mother Cherise and my grandmother Guadalupe. Together Frankie and I have Luis Francisco, Rafael Oscar, and Celesta Persephone. All three of our kids were named after family and friends.
With the twins, Frankie and I want to continue the theme of naming the babies after family and friends but we've almost run out of names that we like and wouldn't mind having our children bear. With all of our other children, their names have some sort of correlation to their godparents' names. Our son's godparents are named Ronaldo Luis and Katherine Anne and our daughter's godparents are named Michael Alessandro and Veta Narcisa.
For our son we thought about using Ronaldo's intitials but incorporating Katherine's name in some way. We really like the name Rey (spelled that way–not Ray) and Katherine (who is married to Ronaldo) has a maiden name of Leon Zayas. So, we feel that we should name our son Rey Leon Falto de Garcia. However, we don't feel completely confident in his name and are still open to suggestions. We will consider other R names and also the idea of using Lorenzo as the middle name (Lorenzo is the hispanic version of Laurence, Katherine's father's name). We did consider Rey Lorenzo as well but feel that Rey Leon sounds nicer.
For our daughter we opted to not use any combination of initials but rather to use variants of her grandparent's names to incorportate. We would like to incorporate my mother's name, Rosalind, somehow though as well. For our daughter we are kind of considering giving her three names, two as her first and one as her middle. We decided that we would use Veta but we both like Veda better and we would also use Alessandra. So her name would be Veda-Alessandra Rosalind Falto de Garcia. You can see my concern in the fact that she would have an extremely long name and I am not sold on the whole hypenated first name. I have a very long name myself and it has always been a hassle between signing documents and getting documents mixed up due to the fact that they had the wrong first and last name, etc. It's really just not something I want my daughter dealing with. I really don't want to omit Alessandra from the name but we really also want to use Veda and Rosalind or some variant of Rosalind.
If you could help us in deciding on a name for our son and shortening the name of our daughter, it would mean the world to us! They will be here shortly and thinking about them entering the world without definite names is a scary thought for us. We appreciate your help so very much, thank you!
Oh and I mentioned that Cherry is from a previous marriage to clear the air that her name is in fact not Cherry Falto de Garcia — or Cherry Garcia! Her last name is actually just one name, she dodged a bullet on that one!
Girl's Gone Child Baby Names
May 27th, 2011
How lovely is this woman?
This is Rebecca Woolfe, who writes the popular blog Girl's Gone Child. Aside from an egregious propensity for terrible puns, she's a lovely writer and by all accounts, seems like a really fun person to know.
She has two children, a son Archer and a daughter Fable, and as luck would have it, finds herself currently pregnant with the namer's dream: twin girls.
I've literally lain awake at night trying to "name them" for her. Yes I KNOW naming is a terribly personal thing, of course it is (I don't actually want to name the twins for you Bec & Hal). But I am extremely excited to see what this couple comes up with. Like us, they take this naming business terribly seriously.
Yesterday she posted her discarded list– the names she'd like to see go out and find happy homes, she's generous like that.
But when I made the majority of my list below, this is what I had to work with to gauge her style. We share a love of Salome and Mirabelle. I'm still trying to talk her into Zelda.
The trickiest part is trying to figure out if she'll use another word name.
Echo- My first thought. How poetic is this Ancient Greek beauty? I thought the concept of an "echo" might appeal to Woolfe's sensibilities, and as it turns out, I was right! But Rebecca's thought this through, it just doesn't work for a twin.
Calliope- Muse was a name on the first long list. I prefer a specific muse to just "Muse" itself. Calliope has a galloping sound in the same vein as Tallulah, and is less common than her long time love Chloe. Rebecca's passion of the written word may find her attracted to this goddess of epic poetry.
Juniper- Has a similar modern, galloping feel to Tallulah and Indigo. The Juniper tree is associated with being able to ward off negative forces and illness. They have Cypress on the most recent list of hand-me-downs, so trees are a possibility (though she has said they will not be named for flowers).
Zephyrine- Zephyr was a possibility for Fable, so if she likes that, why not Frenchify it with this obscure but legitimate gem? Also, they live on the West coast, and Zephyr is the God of the West Winds.
Vesper- Greek for "evening." Perhaps a possible middle depending on when the babes are born. I like the style and feel of this but don't love the -er endings with big brother Archer.
Mercy- Rebecca and Hal have overcome some serious strife together. Someone has shown their family mercy. Why not?
Blythe- Blythe might be an easier name to carry, and a more fun sentiment to try to live up to.
Verena, Verity- As the great Keats said (in Ode on a Grecian Urn no less): "Beauty is truth, truth beauty." They want names that match, but aren't matchy. One of these could pair well next to a name that symbolizes beauty, as though there is a part of each twin in the other.
Zelda- The wife of F. Scott FitzGerald, a brilliant mind with a troubled life. Zingy vintage find.
Clio- The Greek muse of history. I know they're great admirers and students of history in this family.
Thalia- Muse of comedy and idyllic poetry. Rebecca makes us laugh as often as she makes us cry.
Oona- Irish "lamb." A super cool name that this super cool fam could certainly pull off. I like the flow with Archer and Fable, but don't know if it's common in LA. I've met a few of them here.
Melba- Retro vibe that could rock with their decor and meld with the likes of Ava and Harlow. I see an LA baby as giving this name new schwang.
Hedy- Ditto Melba, but more Hollywood.
Dove- Rebecca talks about peace and strength a lot. Dove sounds nice with the sibset as well, but what do you name her sister? Paz? Turns out, they do like Pace.
Snow- The antidote to the hot Cali sun.
Neige- Ditto Snow, the Francophile version.
Capricorn- She's admitted to being a huge Henry Miller fan. Would this work for a girl born in October? Would this work with Snow or Neige? Not my favorite.
Merritt, Merit- This name boasts the feminine sound of Mary with a familiar surname twist. Spell it like the word to get closer to the admirable meaning and further from the surname trend.
Thisbe- Greek inspiration continues with one of my favorite names for somebody else. The Juliet of mythology. Somebody please use this!
Colette- Colette is another name that I love on somebody else's child, but for some reason can't quite bring myself to use. Come to find out Rebecca feels the same way, but only because this would have been Archer's name had he been a girl.
Hermione- Perhaps too Harry Potter, but has that lilting quality we like from so many on her list. Also, Hermione was a messenger. Hermione and Dove maybe?
Simone- Simone de Beauvoir and Nina Simone. I could see a daughter of Rebecca's pulling this off, to borrow Rebecca's word, with aplomb.
The following four were added to the list after I read her most recent castaways:
Pallas- She loves Zenith, and Pallas Athena was at the apex of the Greek gods.
Cerulean- This should be a name, and symbolizes the sky and even at times, the ocean.
Solstice- She likes Season, so why not Solstice? I'll tell you why not– these babies are due in October but may come early. Equinox just doesn't have the same ring to it, plus it's a gym.
Xanthe- She likes Zs and Xs. Xanthe was a near miss for me, plus it's Greek to boot. I really think they're going to go Greek with at least one baby. It means blond. Rebecca is really a blond too.
Rebecca Woolfe and hubby Hal, I do apologize if I've exposed your secret names. Only time will tell, and (obviously) I can't wait to see what you choose! Those babies are going to a wonderful loving home.
Would you pair any of these names with one another? What would you name Hal and Rebecca's twins? What would you name your own?
London, Twin City
July 25th, 2009
Many twinnies in this month's batch of Times and Telegraph announcements. Ophelia Beatrix Plum. * Sigh*. Emilia and Matilda are a nice set. Pictured above are a pair born in April: Jay and Rocco.
Evidence of Catholics and Muslims alike– brilliant for Britain's class conscious society. What IS up with Rocco? Was he cool before Madge? Is he cool now?
"Nicknamishness" persists. See Lola, Harry, Romy, Jack.

Molly Ringwald's Twins Are Here!
July 13th, 2009
Man, Molly hit it out of the park on this one. She demonstrated to the world her great taste when she named her daughter Mathilda Ereni five years ago. When presented with a name nerd's dream of naming two at once, the much beloved awkward beauty from Sixteen Candles did not disappoint.
Adele Georgiana Ringwald Gianopoulous and Roman Stylianos Ringwald Gianopoulous made their way into the world on Friday, July 10th. Evidentally, it was a natural double birth to boot. Go mom.
A bit saddened here to see celeb use of the understated Adele. Both it and Georgina are on a personal shortish list. A Greek friend has considered Stylianos with the English transliteration of Stellan. She also knows another young Stylianos who goes by Stanley here! (That's for you, Bliss). Roman itself is a pretty stellar choice, already in the celeb sphere but not over done (Cate Blanchett's middle boy, for one, is a Roman). Were Adele to go all Addie on us I think I'd cry.
So now Ferris Bueller and Samantha Baker each have their own set of newborns. And Michael Jackson is dead. How times change…
Marion & Tabitha.
June 23rd, 2009
Marion and Tabitha. Marion and Tabitha. They have such a nice ring together.
These are the names chosen by Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick for their healthy newborn twin daughters, born yesterday.
The full monikers are Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick and Tabitha Hodge Broderick. Hodge and Elwell are family names of Parker's.
The obvious qualm is that one twin was given three names and the other four. This makes me think that as parents Sarah and Matthew subscribe to the philosophy that twins are individuals and ought not be thought of as a set. It makes me think that they won't dress alike and that they will be encouraged to express their creativity and independent thought at every turn. I myself might have liked to have seen each girl get four names. Tabitha Fern or Tabitha Enid perhaps. Totally different from Miss Marion Loretta yet compatible.
We're almost straddling a British upper crust feel with your great-grandmother's birth announcement in her local Midwestern Gazette. And Sarah is at heart a good Midwestern girl.
Loretta is one I've been anticipating in the city for a while now. Lots of little ladies sport a kind of country chic. Nellie Rae is pretty adorable on a six-year-old in checkered vans and a vintage Members Only jacket.
But back to Marion and Tabitha. Totally unexpected, under appreciated (almost) gems. I say almost because they are not quite to my taste. Tabitha has always seemed a bit prim and is usually reserved for the Telegraph, while Marion strikes me as somewhat masculine with this spelling especially. But this is really getting nitpicky. Overall the names deserve an ovation. They balance one another nicely and neither outshines the other. James Wilkie must be a proud big brother.
Mabel Painter Lowe & Celebrity Baby Name Lineup
May 21st, 2009
We have a Mabel! Mabel Painter Lowe was born to Chad Lowe and Kim Painter on May 16. A decidedly fusty choice, Mabel has been a favorite of underground name nerds for a while now, and I'd love to see more of them. Tracey Ullman also has a Mabel Ellen, born in 1986. Congrats to the Painter-Lowe clan!
Celebs have been on a role lately. Wanda Sykes and her wife Alex welcomed Olivia Lou and Lucas Claude on April 27. The Lou ties into twin bro Lucas, Olivia and Claude are both Ancient Roman names that are well loved today. Spot on match.
Julie Bowen of Boston Legal now has a Gus and a John, also twins. Odd pairing, though I'm starting to think John is the quirkier choice these days and sounds pretty fresh.
R & B singer Jill Scott gave birth to Jett Hamilton. Very cool but not too much so.
Phoebe Margaret was born to Julianne Nicholson and Jonathan Cake. Dynamite– love the balance of Phoebe Cake!
Dave Grohl and wife Jordyn had a Harper Willow last month to join big sis Violet Maye. Definitely more 2009 than their first pick, though evidently she was named for Grohl's great uncle Harper.
Eagerly anticipating what names these celebrities will choose:
Rachel Griffiths. WHAT will top Banjo and Adelaide?
Nicole Richie, who proved to be quite the influence with Harlow Winter Kate.
Molly Ringwald, awaiting twins due in August, who will join Mathilda Ereni. Sigh.
Mary Stuart Masterson due in October.
Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick (twin girls due in July). UPDATE: Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge.
Parminder Nagra, due later this month. UPDATE: It's a boy, Kai David.
Paz Vega, due in August.
Heidi Klum and Seal, expecting a girl this time.
Mira Sorvino.
Kimora Lee Simmons and Djimon Honsou, likely a boy. UPDATE: Kenzo Lee completes the trio with with big sisters Aoki and Ming watching over him.
Ana Ortiz of Ugly Betty, who favors Ramona after her grandmother.
Kelly Rutherford of Gossip Girl (whose creator has an Oscar and an Agnes). UPDATE: Helena Grace joins big bro Hermes Gustaf Daniel.
Kelis, due in July.
Ellen Pompeo.
Jennifer Meyer and Tobey Maguire, baby boy is here. WHAT'S HIS NAME?!?

I'm attempting to Nuzlocke this game, and I'm not too far, but I'm determined to do it. Has anyone else done it in video format? If so I'd appreciate a link.
I've got to say so far this game is great, I only have one complaint... The trainers/wild Pokemon/xp rates don't really work with the boss fights in this. Somehow it needs to be changed so you don't have to grind SO much to be equally leveled.
Am I the only one who feels this way or?...
But everything aside, beautiful hack & thank you to all who took apart in it.

PHOENIX – Former Washington State first baseman Taylor Ard is back in affiliated baseball.
A seventh round pick in the 2012 MLB First Year Player Draft by the Seattle Mariners, he spent two seasons in the minors with the Mariners. Released by Seattle in the spring of 2014, Ard signed a contract with the River City Rascals of O'Fallon, Mo., in the independent Frontier League.
Through 50 games, Ard was hitting .338 with nine home runs, 33 RBI, a .404 on-base percentage, .544 slugging percentage, .948 OPS and nine stolen bases in 10 attempts. Playing third base for the Rascals, he was named to the West Division team for the Frontier League All-Star Game.
A day after the game, his contract was purchased by the Arizona Diamondbacks. Assigned to Hillsboro (Ore.) Hops in the Northwest League, Ard has appeared in three games and collected a hit in each of his two starts.
During his two years with Seattle's organization, Ard batted .262 with 68 extra-base hits, including 20 home runs, in just over 700 at bats.
At Washington State, he was a two-time All-Pac-12 and All-West Region selection. In his final season as a Cougar, he batted .332 and was ranked in the Pac-12's top 10 for home runs (12), RBI (50), total bases (127) and slugging percentage (.577).

Logically equivalent to when the query starts execution - in embedded SQL, at the time of the OPEN of a cursor.
If the system has no pre-compilation phase, then that's a given - all statements are handled that way.
If, like IBM DB2, you have an elaborate pre-compilation phase, then an automatic recompile would occur if the table had changed enough to invalidate the previous query plan - and adding a column would surely do that!
If something changes between the time of PREPARE and OPEN, then either the OPEN will fail or the query will be recompiled - so that doesn't matter either.
As a matter of good practice (and following relational theory rather than SQL practice), the answer to the query should be the same as:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS nr FROM <relvar>
because the <relvar> should have either a primary key or one or more candidate keys that enforce uniqueness without needing the DISTINCT.

Companies that specialize in exit interviewing ask a plethora of questions, some as general as "Why did you leave?" and others as specific as "Can you give us names of those you believe are involved in criminal behavior?"
The trick to effective questioning is to focus on areas where you feel you can improve the organization, says Scott Erker, a senior vice president in DDI's Selection Solutions group. "Don't ask questions if you aren't going to use the information," says Erker. "We see a lot of companies going through the motions of just asking the usual questions, rather than being strategic about it."
David Scarborough, chief scientist at HR consulting firm Unicru in Portland, Oregon, advises clients to interview the manager as well as the departing employee. "We ask managers 'What was the impact of this person's departure on your department?' We are looking for patterns that relate to job performance, so that they can hire better qualified and better suited candidates," he says.
Here are some typical interview questions being included on exit surveys, according to several vendors (depending on the answers, most surveys include follow-up questions that hone in on specifics):
Did you find your new job or did it find you?
Were you satisfied with your compensation and benefits?
How did you feel about your supervisor?
How did you feel about the working relationships you had with members of your team?
Did you work give you a sense of accomplishment?
Are there things we could have done to make your job more fulfilling?
Did you feel you had opportunities to expand your knowledge and learning?
What are some things you would address that are problems in the workplace?
What competencies do you feel were required to do your job and did you have them?
What did you like about your job? What did you dislike about your job?
If there were an opportunity to return, would you do that?

Additional Information
Jenny Diaz, a junior professor up for Fourth Year Tenure review, is anxious about her publication record, despite an excellent research project underway and contemplates the offer of two journals to report separately on separate parts of her research. The research forms part of a multi-year longitudinal data collection project; about half the time period is completed, however, there are two years left before a final follow-up survey results are complete. Completion of two articles would strengthen her tenure file but could compromise findings as well as shared results for two dissertation students employed on the project.

Tall and talented brunette Jelena Jensen has become a successful model thanks to her stunning looks, huge natural breasts and plenty of industry connections. Jelena was born in LA in 1981 and got into the business when she worked as a Product and Marketing Manager for Jaded Video whilst still at college. Her job involved spokes modelling at various adult conventions such as AVN Expo and Erotica LA.
Although it is usually the natural progression for girls who work at these conventions to go into the porn industry guns-a-blazin', Jelena was not interested in doing hardcore stuff, so she opted for softcore solo stills instead. Her photogenic nature and disposition for pulling a naughty pose has paved the way for her to appear on websites, TV shows and in prestigious publications the world over. To name a few, she has posed for Penthouse, Twistys , Hustler and Playboy. Jelena's first shoot was in 2003 with Scott St. James, the results of which appeared in Club magazine. Since then, directors and photographers have practically fallen over themselves to shoot this hot model with big boobs.

In Theaters: June 10th
Another original, this one from J.J. Abrams (Star Trek, Mission Impossible 3, TV's landmark Lost), a director who's nearly as secretive as Terrence Malick. No matter. Abrams carved this blend of humor and horror out of two boys growing up in Ohio, circa 1979. There's a train wreck, a Super 8 film of it, and then. . . . Why spoil the surprise. There are precious few of those around in summer.

TCR: Did you behave yourself? Or better yet, did Harry behave himself when he came to visit?
Harry is an untamed beast; he is the dog that you cannot train. Everywhere you go with him people either love him or are repulsed by him. I lost the f**king guy for almost a day in a town that I can't pronounce, and when I finally find him, he tells me he's in love with a Khazikstani girl that he just met who ends up being a whore. The pimp shows up and is pissed that Harry's been keeping her from working all day, so Harry wants to fight the pimp, and the guy agrees as long as I don't jump in. They go up to the roof of a building and start to beat the sh*t out of each other as it starts to thunder down heavy rain. We got most of it on camera for "Thumbs Up" Season 3. You can't write sh*t like that. Harry's the best and the worst.
TCR: Last year, the long-awaited and decade long project, that became the Dirty Hands documentary about your life, was released with much fanfare. One, was it humbling that so many people were lined up to see it, and two, was it hard to see yourself on screen in both vulnerable and vandal forms.
Yes, it was actually really shocking. The Los Angeles premiere of the movie was actually two blocks from Harry's house, and for about six years, Harry's been telling his parents he's working on a "movie" about his sh*t-head friend Dave. Then on top of that, my parents and Harry's parents haven't spoken to each other in 15 years, because they thought the Choe's were a horrible influence on their son, and the Choe's thought the Kim's were a horrible influence. Who knew that they were both absolutely correct?
Anyways we all meet at Harry's place and it's a little awkward at first, then we all walk the two blocks to the theater. I was expecting to sit in a quiet theater with 10 people, and there's a f**king line going around two city blocks, there's a red carpet, people are asking to take our pictures and our parent's picture. It was cool to see Harry's parents look at him with respect and pride for the first time in a long while, and my parents were loving it, too. As soon as the movie started, I saw my face 20-feet wide and said, "Fuck this." I went next door and drank by myself and I don't even drink.
I've seen chunks of the movie here and there, but I have yet to sit through the entire thing. I think it's great for Harry, but personally I think I look like the biggest fag on screen, and I hate that movie, and I can't wait for Harry to move on to his next project.
TCR: Upper Playground turned 10 this year. Anything to say about the brand?
Upper Playground is family to me. They are the first ones to ever give me a show, first to ever put my sh*t on a t-shirt, and just in the last year, they got me involved in the Obama art project, and now my sh*t's hanging in the f**king White House. From Lower Haight to the f**king White House, that's not f**king bad, right?
TCR: Parting words and visions of 2010 . . .
Like Ray, my old Chinatown slumlord, says, "You gawt to tway hawda." (Translation: "You got to try harder.")
There is a lot of cool art and life here that proves maybe your own life is boring.

Canawaima Ferry Service seeks to boost travel
The Canawaima Ferry Service which transports passengers from Moleson Creek across the border to Suriname is looking to boost passenger travel.
Over the years, the service has faced competition from "back-trackers" who prefer to go the illegal route, and faster.
For the second time this year, the Service has launched a promotion designed to attract travelers to and from Suriname.
Terminal Manager, Louise Williams, told Kaieteur News yesterday that the Canawaima Ferry Service is offering a 25 percent discount on the fare, which is usually US$15 or $3,000 in local currency. However, the discount only applies to groups of 15 and more.
Williams refused to speculate on whether the Ferry Service has been seeing a decreasing number of passengers, and hence the promotion. She said the promotion is on offer much the same, as airlines would offer promotions for travel.
According to Williams, on any given month between 1,500 and 2,000 passengers use the Service. In October last year, six persons died after the boat in which they were traveling to make the illegally crossing to Suriname capsized in the Corentyne River.
Minister of Transport and Hydraulics, Robeson Benn, then warned against using this form of travel, stating that "regulated safe crossings" of the Corentyne River are provided by the Canawaima Ferry Service.
The Canawaima Ferry Service, a US$20M project funded by the European Union, began operations on November 1, 1998.

Juann H. Hung and Charles Bronowski
This paper derives and estimates a current account model from the perspective that the current account balance is the difference between national savings and investment. This approach allows us to include determinants of savings, investment, and capital flows to explain and forecast the evolution of the current account, an advantage not offered by the elasticity approach, which views the current account balance as the sum of net exports and net investment income. The savings-investment approach shows that the three traditional variables the real exchange rate, domestic activities, and foreign activities do exert a significant influence on the current account, as postulated by the elasticity approach. More important, it shows that some variables overlooked by the elasticity approach namely, the share of dependents in the foreign population, real U.S. and foreign interest rates, and U.S. corporate profits also matter for the current-account adjustment, while the government budget balance does not. The finding that the budget balance is not a significant determinant of the current account suggests that U.S. private savings may have tended to adjust to offset changes in the government budget. Overall, models based on the savings-investment approach track and forecast the U.S. current account much better than models based on the elasticity approach.

Thanks for the feedback!
The colors seemed a bit "clashy" to me too at first, but the longer I looked at it, the more I didn't mind it. The colors don't clash so much with the grass bb, and I like it when combined with that, so I'll probably leave it alone.

As of right now, my plan is to have the beta only go through the first gym, but with plenty of other events to make the play time longer.

Well, I haven't had much success finding a new title that I like, so for now I am going to stick with Jasper Version as the title. If I can come up with something else that I like, I'll switch it, but right now Jasper is in (thanks for the suggestions, those who gave some).

An elderly man died Saturday morning after driving the wrong way on N.C. 24 and hitting another vehicle in the first traffic fatality of the year in Onslow County, state authorities said.
Bruce George, 75, turned left from Piney Green Road onto N.C. 24 but drove his Toyota SUV into the westbound lanes. He hit a Honda Civic driven by Nicole Zimmerman, 20, of Hubert, according to the N.C. State Highway Patrol.
�Mr. George was ejected from his vehicle, and he died on the scene,� said Patrol Sgt. M.W. King.
Zimmerman was transported to Onslow Memorial Hospital then flown to Vidant Medical Center in Greenville. She is listed in critical condition.
The crash is under investigation. King said any statement made right now as to why George was on the wrong side of the highway would be pure speculation.
Both vehicles were totaled in the 7:25 a.m. wreck.

Strong mayor winning with most votes counted

There looks to be nothing experimental anymore about San Diego's "strong mayor" system of government. City voters were overwhelmingly supporting making it permanent Tuesday night after a temporary, five-year run.
The measure would also expand the City Council by one seat to nine and to require that the council have six votes instead of five to override a mayoral veto.
A ninth council member would be elected in 2012 after a volunteer redistricting committee decides how to adjust district boundaries to create the new district and ensure that all nine are drawn as evenly as possible after the population changes of the 2010 U.S. Census.
The city's 2012 election will likely be a lively one, with five council races, contests for mayor and city attorney and perhaps a ballot measure asking voters to support building a new Chargers stadium with public money.
By comparison, this year's election, which featured the strong-mayor ballot measure and four council races, had less drama. Only two council races were competitive, and the strong-mayor campaign was anything but.
Nearly half a million dollars poured into the Proposition D campaign — all on the side of the strong-mayor system.
While business interests, led by Cox Communications, the Sycuan Band of Kumeyaay Indians and Sempra Energy, showed their support, there was no money formally spent against the measure. Moreover, there were only a few news conferences held to criticize the system for the power it gave the mayor and the cost of a new council district.
Tom Shepard, the strategist who steered Proposition D to success, said voters approved it because they don't want an unelected city manager in charge again.
"I don't think most San Diego voters wanted to go back to the system that was responsible for the city's financial problems that they're now trying to work themselves out of," he said. "I think that's the bottom line. Additionally, I think voters want to be able to hold the chief executive of the city accountable."
Pro-Proposition D signs declaring "Don't Go Back" popped up all over town weeks ago. A hand-drawn poster urging a "no" vote appeared on a utility box in Del Cerro last weekend but was gone by Monday.
If there were more "No" signs, there weren't many. Council candidate signs, on the other hand, were common.
In District 6, it seemed that businesswoman Lorie Zapf, a Republican, and Deputy Attorney General Howard Wayne, a Democrat, were headed for a runoff in November.
Council seats are nonpartisan, but party politics can play a central role in campaigns, and the District 6 race was a battleground.
Wayne was supported by the county Democratic Party, and Zapf had the backing of the county Republican Party. The Democrats sent out a flurry of fliers on behalf of Wayne, and the GOP pumped an unprecedented $20,000 directly into Zapf's campaign because of a fundraising loophole that left political party contributions unlimited this election.
While the fall campaign could be a classic party battle, both candidates said they would cast a wide net for supporters.
"I recognize this is going to be a battle," Zapf said. "I'm running a nonpartisan campaign and have tremendous support from many, many Democrats, people who are independent and Republicans. I have widespread support."
Said Wayne, "There are people who voted for some of the other candidates or people who didn't vote at all whose votes I am going to be trying to earn in the general election" — including popular incumbent Donna Frye, whose chief of staff, Steven Hadley, was running third in the race.
The District 8 race also appeared headed for a runoff election because no candidate would capture more than half the vote.

First Year Students Break Barriers
On Friday, Sept. 6, 75 students immersed themselves in an interactive, board-breaking workshop and lecture. The aim of this program was to empower first-year students at Stetson to make positive changes in their lives and lead with integrity. Student Development and Campus Vibrancy sponsored author and motivational speaker, Marc Wayshak, to facilitate this engaging event and focus on two of Stetson University's three core values: personal growth and global citizenship. Student Stefanie Perosa, pictured left, plans to "lead with integrity."
After the enlightening coaching session, participants wrote down their own personal vision on a wooden board. Students then had the opportunity to partner with other rising leaders and physically prepare for the ultimate challenge.
"You could feel the Hatter spirit rise along with the energy in the room as students punched through their own barriers. Partners were clapping, hugging and waving their split boards in triumph," said Ana Maia, assistant director for Leadership and Organization Development.

Presenters let Powerpoint use them; they don't use it.
Some unfortunate conference participant, undoubtedly still suffering flashbacks, who harbours a lingering animus towards Bill Gates and his software, once dubbed the PowerPoint presentation as "Killing You Microsoftly". Such an invidious metaphor is unfair. To death. At least when you die, you're fortunate enough to have endured your last PowerPoint presentation. The unlucky who go on living must continue to endure PowerPoint, an invasive species threatening the information ecosystem, the kudzu of software.
And like kudzu, PowerPoint continues to proliferate beyond the boardroom, medical meeting and conference room. It has become a preferred method of presentation for the US Military and Pentagon. The linear, concise format makes it easily adaptable for the standard military briefing, even at the expense of clarity and content. Reportedly, when a critical briefing is required, some senior officers unfamiliar with PowerPoint seek out subordinates who have technical mastery of the software's nuances, dubbed "PowerPoint Rangers".
I get a kick out of the title segment for the mystery show, Numb3rs, in which the college professor protagonist is shown walking in the glow of a projector between the audience and the screen.
Competent presenters do not do that.
Ever. In one act, it belittles both the image on the screen and the presenter.

Michael Serconish is a conservative columnist and radio host who I find an interesting read.
Though I usually disagree with him, I often find his reasoning to be sensible and understandable (unlike Charles Krauthammer and Cal Thomas, who exemplify the "say whatever sounds good today regardless of what I said yesterday" school of argument).
He does not toe the Fox News line and dares to take positions that more orthodox conservatives would not be willing to state in public. He thinks; he does not parrot.
He often thinks wrong, of course, but he thinks (I once said to Atrios that Smerconish's writings have "a certain 'everyman' feel, sort of like Fred Flintstone with a typewriter").
Now comes Smerconish arguing that politicians' personal lives are under too much scrutiny, citing Mitch Daniels and Arnold Swarzennegger as examples. A nugget:
The irony is that boorish personal behavior among the political elite may be fueled by the same personality traits that voters consistently seek out in elected officials.
Frank Farley, professor of psychology at Temple University and a former president of the American Psychological Association, believes that many of the factors that make for a successful politician – most significant, a predisposition toward risk-raking – also lead those individuals to behave badly in their personal lives.
Farley says these individuals have a "type T personality" – the T stands for thrill. They're drawn to unpredictable, high-profile, challenging jobs, making politics the perfect career. According to Farley, the very qualities that persuade voters that type T's are best-suited for that business – independent streak, strong will, magnetic personality – can also drive personal misbehavior.
He goes on to argue that, unless there is evidence of public misconduct, perhaps it would be best not to overemphasize "personal misbehavior" in assessing qualifications for public office.
Left unspoken in the the phrase "personal misbehavior" is one word, as this column specifically seems to apply to "personal mating misbehavior."
Also missing was this: it was conservative, specifically, "family values" Republicans–you know, the ones commonly found in airport restrooms and on Craig's List and in bed with persons other than their spouses–who made personal behavior fair game.
In doing so, they made themselves fair game.
What goes 'round and all that.

There is something different about Xiaomi. In fact, more than a tech company, it is a tech startup and those are rare in the mobile phone business. Why else would the vice-president of a global company be camped in Bangalore to oversee the launch, why else would he be giving out his email address to everyone from journalists to customers and why would he be replying to those queries personally. But then that is the kind of company that Xiaomi is. The kind of company that cuts the prices of its cheapest smartphone by 15% hours before announcing its India launch.
Still basking in the success of its first launch, the Xiaomi Mi3, of which it has sold over 95,000 units in a handful of weekly flash sales, you would have expected the company to charge a small premium for its next phone, or at least hold on to its price. But Xiaomis very visible vice-president Hugo Barra, who had an equally visible role during his celebrated stint at Google, says they can afford to take this cut, primarily because they dont need to spend on advertising. We will never spend on a full page newspaper ad... unless someone offers it for free, Barra says categorically.
But not everyone is happy with Xiaomi in India. For the 90,000-odd Mi3s that the company has sold since late July, it has also made thousands of buyers queue up virtually for a sale that literally lasts seconds, literally. India operations head Manu Kumar Jain, who earlier helped found Jabong, says they have at least a couple hundred thousand people waiting to buy the phone on Flipkart.com at 2 pm every Tuesday. This mad rush is now going to be replicated for an even cheaper smartphone from Xiaomi, the Redmi 1S, which will be available for pre-booking from Tuesday for the first sale on September 2. If Moto E made the Flipkart servers crash, then expect a repeat, maybe a in a lesser time for the 4.7-inch Redmi 1S is R1,000 cheaper and packs much better specs than the budget phone from Motorola.
But Barra is convinced that this is the simplest model around. The flash sale model we have in India is most similar to the model that we have in China where you do a pre-booking a week in advance, he says. Buyers in Singapore and Malaysia dont need to register as

MINNEAPOLIS — Kamal Hassan didn't know what al-Shabab was before a friend asked him if he'd like to accompany him on a trip to their native Somalia to fight a jihad. Before long, he was a foot soldier for the terror group in Somalia — training in fighting, attending lectures by leaders of the al-Qaida-linked group, and participating in an ambush of Ethiopian troops. Hassan is one of more than 20 young Somali men recruited from Minnesota in recent years to fight alongside insurgents in his homeland. Hassan's story, told this week as he testified in the trial of another man, provides insight into al-Shabab — showing how recruiters used patriotic appeals and religion to draw young men from overseas into the fold, then used fear, punishment and propaganda to keep them under control.

US Jewish leaders say recent attacks 'cannot be tolerated,' claim they feed hatred of Israel; urge Israeli authorities to allocate resources 'to apprehend those behind attacks.'
Yitzhak Benhorin
Published: 05.02.14, 13:17 / Israel News
Yitzhak Benhorin
WASHINGTON – The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations sent an unequivocal message Friday evening to Israeli law enforcement agencies, urging them to allocate all resources necessary to uproot the phenomena of 'price tag' attacks that have escalated in recent weeks.
The body represents 50 of America's leading Jewish organizations
This passing week, vandals targeted the northern Arab town of Fureidis and painted a Star of David and wrote "Close mosques, not yeshivot" on the walls of a mosque, as well as slashing the tires of dozens of cars.
Related stories:
"We are profoundly concerned by the series of acts of vandalism, desecration and violence by a group motivated by extremist ideologies," a statement issued by the Conference of Presidents read, adding their demand that the perpetrators of the attacks be brought to justice.
Noting Israel's upcoming Independence Day, the Jewish American leaders stated that they "celebrate(Israel's) commitment from its inception to the rule of law, democracy and tolerance."
While they welcomed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other government officials' condemnation of such attacks, they added that words of warning do not suffice.
The Anti-Defamation League, one of the member organizations, released a statement of its own in which it urges authorities in Israel to step up enforcement efforts against those responsible.
ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman deplored "the recent spate of price tag attacks in Israel". Foxman added that "these heinous actions are antithetical to Jewish values and those responsible - both for inciting and committing the attacks - must be identified and stopped."

She's spent years dodging awkward questions about him, but Cheryl Cole has uttered actual words about her ex husband Ashley - they came out of her mouth and everything.
Cheryl was paying a visit to Capital FM's Dave Berry and Lisa Snowdon following her stint at their Summertime Ball on Saturday where she was a surprise performer.
During the chat, the pair quizzed Chez about about her rumoured second single Screw You, which was thought to be about Ashley as it includes the lyrics 'I don't want you no more, I loved you so much but you never gave a ****', you'd be forgiven for thinking it had something to do with their split'.
However, she told Dave and Lisa it isn't about her love-rat ex.
"I didn't have him in mind. But I can see how it is interpreted that way, of course," she said.
And when asked how she'd feel if Ashley went all Eamon and Frankee and recorded a similar comeback version of the song, Cheryl joked: "It would be pretty bad as he is tone deaf — he can't hit a note!"
Cheryl was up early for her radio chat, moaning on Twitter of her 4.30am call time.
"Do i look impressed that my call time was 4.30AM ?? Lol .. Looking forward to seeing Lisa and Dave," she wrote.
But when you manage to look like that, you'll find little sympathy from us love.
2003. Awww. The gorgeous glamazon we know and love had already started to blossom as a young popstar of just 21.
2006. Cheryl opted for a bit of WAG power at the Alien Autopsy premiere with a golden tan and some blonde highlights.
2007. People really sat up and took notice when Ms Cole stepped out at the Samsung Power of Purple launch in a curve-clinging bandage dress that showed off her amazing figure.
2007. At the 2007 British Red Cross Ball, Cheryl worked the wow-factor in a glittering gold Roberto Cavalli floor-sweeper.
2007. A black bra underneath a sheer nude top? We're not sure about Cheryl's fashion choice at the Julien Macdonald spring/summer 2008 show, but we do love the stylish blunt-cut fringe.
2008. For the 2008 National Television Awards, Cheryl channelled dip-dye fashion in a one-shouldered Matthew Williamson gown with gold-leaf detailing.
2009. Sixties siren! Cheryl was on fabulous form at the 2009 Brit Awards in a stunning A-line minidress by George Chakras, which featured cute floral appliqué. A slick of popping red lipstick finished the look perfectly.
2009. Cheryl blew the crowds away at the 2009 Pride of Britain Awards in an asymmetric mini, teamed with silver Louboutins and an Igor Chapurin clutch.

Everyone on the list should have received an email from me this morning. Of those signed up, Bob S & Chris S have dropped. Please let me know your status so that I may get a head count & see if someone else is interested in a spot on the Skimmer.
I will be there Saturday morning, no room needed.

Finn Maccumhail:
I already addressed this via email but I'll be down there & fishing with everybody but I'm not taking the kayaks or the Skimmer. I'll run the new Gheenoe over. If it's calm I'll just run straight across the bay from Cove Harbor. If it's rough I'll launch by Lighthouse Lakes and run up the backside of San Jose through Blind Pass.
That being said- I have one kayak left for sale. The Big Tuna will be gone tonight to a TKF member but I'll have the Drifter for sale. Check my post in the Classifieds section.
As of right now, I have confirmed:
John P
Scott F
Dan S.
Dave G.
Kevin Mc.
Dennis A.
Andrew B.
Travis R.
Matt B. (the Brit)
Signed up but cancelled
Chris S.
Bob S
Matt B (the Okie)
Thomas P
Signed up in error
Les L.
So, it looks like we have our 10 guys. Please don't forget the $25 and waiver forms on Sat morning!
Looks like we should have a great time. Be sure to bring plenty of fluids. If you want beer/cokes for the ride back on the Skimmer, bring it and have Capt Tommy ice is down for you.
Call me if something is up.
