Further imprisonment for two members of the Russian punk band Pussy Riot is excessive, but it is up to the court to decide on the issue, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said on Friday.
"This issue should be addressed not to me but to our courts and their lawyers. They are entitled to submit the relevant motions... And the court is entitled to consider the issue on its merits," Medvedev said at a meeting with winners of international educational competitions.
He said he had already voiced his opinion on the topic, as cited by RIA Novosti.
"I said quite a while ago: I very much dislike these figures, both on the outside and inside; they cause extremely negative emotions, so negative that it is even unpleasant to speak about them," the Russian PM said.
"But if I were a judge, I would not put them in prison. I do not think imprisonment the right kind of punishment for them, for these girls have already served some time, and it is really enough for them," Medvedev added.
The Russian news agency RIA Novosti reminds that that five women from Pussy Riot performed in late February 2012 a "punk prayer" in downtown Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral, which is Russia's biggest Orthodox church. An edited clip of the band's protest posted online showed the group high-kicking near the entrance to the altar of the cathedral accompanied by the song "Holy S**t" urging the Virgin Mary to "drive [Vladimir] Putin out." The song mocked Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia and believers in insulting terms.
Soon after, police arrested three of the suspected performers. The three women said their performance was a political protest against Patriarch Kirill's support for Putin ahead of the March 4 presidential elections that returned him to the Kremlin, but the court found the performers guilty of hooliganism aimed at inciting religious hatred and jailed them for two years each on August 17.
The prison term for one of them was later replaced with a suspended sentence.
The trial and sentences attracted unprecedented media attention and international criticism, which the Russian Foreign Ministry dismissed as "groundless," saying the band's act had nothing to do with artistic performance but was "insulting to millions of Orthodox [Christian] believers." The band said their performance was not aimed at insulting believers' feelings.

The Dorset Bow Brooch |
Queen Mary (with the brooch in the middle of her bodice) |
The brooch (highlighted) among the wedding gifts on display in 1947 |
In addition to appearances at everyday engagements, it's been worn for notable occasions like the christening of Prince Charles and the funeral of the Duke of Windsor. It is also a popular choice to secure the Queen's poppies at occasions like the annual Remembrance Day ceremony, and is even deemed fancy enough to secure ribands of orders of chivalry for the occasional state event.
It's not my favorite of the bow brooches, to be honest – all that detail on the "ribbon" seems a little squished to me – but I can never argue with something used as a casual diamond tie for poppies.

Toshiba's stake in Westinghouse will increase to 87% in January 2013 when it completes the purchase of the Shaw Group's 20% stake in the company. Shaw announced over a year ago that it planned to sell its stake back to Toshiba.
Shaw's option to trigger the sale was part of a deal struck with Toshiba during its $5.4 billion purchase of Westinghouse from the UK's former national nuclear company, BNFL, in October 2006.
Toshiba immediately sold on 20% of Westinghouse to Shaw, which financed that by issuing yen-denominated bonds. The arrangement between the firms included a 'put option' under which Shaw could call on Toshiba to buy back the stake at any time before October 2012, at which time it would be exercised automatically.
Shaw announced in September 2011 that it was exercising the option in order to reduce its exposure to the sliding dollar-yen exchange rate. The dollar value of the debt had grown by "over $600 million to a total of almost $1.7 billion," it said. At the time the deal was agreed, $1 would buy about ¥116, but the figure is only ¥78 today.
The put option was exercised automatically on 6 October 2012 under the terms of the put option agreement, for cash settlement 90 days thereafter, in January 2013. Toshiba said that it will purchase Shaw's stake for some ¥125 billion ($1.6 billion) by immediately available cash and/or loans.
Assuming appropriate consents for the transaction are obtained, some 87% of Westinghouse will be held by Toshiba. Ten percent is held by Kazakh uranium and rare-earth metals producer KazAtomProm and 3% by Japanese component-maker IHI.
Toshiba said that it has received interest from potential partners regarding the purchase of a stake in Westinghouse and "is open to talks on the condition that Toshiba retains a majority stake, can expect to share long term business prospects and strategies with partners, and secure positive synergies."
Westinghouse is currently constructing four AP1000 reactors in the USA and a further four in China. Shaw is working with Westinghouse on these projects and has already agreed to see all currently outstanding orders through to completion. Toshiba said that future plant engineering partners would be selected on a project-by-project basis.
In July 2012, it was announced that global engineering, procurement and construction company Chicago Bridge & Iron Company (CB&I) is to acquire the Shaw Group in a transaction worth an estimated $3 billion. CB&I Shaw will become one of the world's largest energy industry engineering and construction companies. The acquisition is expected to be completed in early 2013.

A team which misses penalties cannot hope to bridge a gulf of three divisions and Sutton United, of the Blue Square South, duly lost to League One Notts County in the FA Cup second round yesterday. Trailing to the first of two goals by Jeff Hughes, the part-timers wasted the chance to draw level on the brink of half-time when Stuart Nelson saved Leroy Griffiths' penalty. County will now play Doncaster Rovers in the third round.
For an hour there was little to choose between the teams, then the superior fitness of Martin Allen's side enabled them to dominate though it was not until the 90th minute that Hughes scored his second.
Sutton, on live television for the first time in their history, had majorettes, balloons and a giant giraffe mascot, but some of the FA Cup magic had inevitably been dispelled two hours before the match when Li Tie, conducting the fourth-round draw, sent the winners of this tie to the Keepmoat Stadium.
During the week Sutton's chairman, Bruce Elliott, and several of his players had enthused about the idea of knowing in advance who they might play at the next stage. The hope was it would serve as an added incentive, but the draw seemed more of an inducement to Notts County, who will fancy their chances of reaching the last 32 at the Championship strugglers.
Not that this seemed apparent from the opening stages with the non-League team sharper into the tackle and quicker on the offensive. Craig Watkins, who was with Havant & Waterlooville when they went to Anfield three years ago but did not play, was a lively presence. Only a well-timed last-ditch tackle by Sam Sodje prevented him testing Nelson from close-range after 13 minutes. Four minutes later the County goalkeeper was brought into action, diving smartly to his left to save Harry Beautyman's header.
County had offered little when they took a fortuitous lead 10 minutes before the break. Karl Hawley worked a bit of space around the edge of the box but Kevin Scriven had his shot covered only for Hughes to deflect it past the stranded goalkeeper.
Eight minutes later Ben Burgess looked set to put the tie to bed when he took the ball around Scriven only for Karim El-Salahi to make a saving tackle. The defender injured himself in the process and soon limped off, but it looked as if his sacrifice was worth it when Sodje brought down Watkin to concede a penalty. Nelson, however, dived to his left to turn aside Griffiths' spot-kick.
Paul Telfer, the former Celtic, Coventry and Southampton player, led Sutton's response with a free-kick Nelson gathered. The goalkeeper was relieved a few minutes later when Beautyman, unmarked, headed Griffiths' cross over. Subsequent chances proved elusive and when substitute Karl Murray was dismissed with five minutes left after two brisk cautions Sutton looked out. Confirmation came when Hughes scrambled in his second.
Sutton United (4-4-2): Scriven; Telfer (Orilonishe, 82), Downer, Page, El-Salahi (Murray, 44); Beautyman, Riviere, Piper, Griffiths; Dundas (Taggart, 71), Watkins.
Notts County (4-4-2): Nelson; Kelly, Pearce, Sodje (Edwards, 59), Sheehan; Judge, Bishop, Mahon, J Hughes; Hawley (Bencherif, 90), Burgess (Demontagnac, 59).
Referee: Craig Pawson (South Yorkshire).

Ooh, that sounds great! Love them both, never thought of trying them together, doh! 🙂
MAC Stiletto, Snow Orchard, Pink Neuavo or Isabella Blow
isabella blow or hollywood nights
I love doing a super-vampy look by putting Buxom Lips in 'Lana' over Kat Von D's Painted Love lipstick in 'Homegirl'. It really brings out dark pink and red blush shades on my skin, making me look almost like a punky porcelain doll.
Mac Ample Pink tinted lipgloss and loreals lip stick in fairly nude
MAC russian red.
MAC Lipglass in V-Red – tons of color and crazy shine in one great tube.
that's an awesome l/g. i have mine and that color is opaque.
mine is a bit of a secret:
it consists of: Shu RD 190 + a red l/g which i won't mention + shu red l/l.
I like to use MAC Technokohl liner in Full of Fuchsia with MAC Big Bow Lipstick. My classic go to bold red is MAC Lady Bug.
MAC up the amp with date night d\l
or MAC impassioned with pink poodle l\g
Im a big fan of the bright orange-red look, like MAC Lady Danger. Otherwise, another fave bold lip is MAC Impassioned.
For a dark bold I like Show Orchid l/s and Magnetique l/g. For a bright bold I like Saint Germain l/s with Delicate Crush l/g. All MAC BTW. 🙂
MAC Ruby Woo paired with Amorous Cream Dazzleglass ULTRA vampy. I don't wear it out too much lol
– Mac Dubonnet topped with either Blackfire or Bligblack glimmerglasses
– Mac Cyber topped with Illamasqua Galaxy lipgloss (the result being less scary than it sounds)

I've never quite *loved* Show Orchid as much as everyone else seems to – the shimmer gets on my nerves and I don't think the staying power is great.
I like either deep reds like Viva Glam I or berry colors like Blood Red from the DSquared collection 🙂
MAC Magenta lipliner and Girl About Town lipstick. I wore it for Halloween not caring if it was real life pretty but it actually really was!
I like to combine Pink Poodle lipglass with Steppin' Out dazzleglass. it's a very poppin' glittery pink!

Now for the bad news. Starting with the fact that while standard def pictures look sharp and clean, they don't seem as natural or vibrant with their colours as HD ones. There's also evidence during standard definition viewing of colour banding instead of perfectly smooth colour blends - a problem that very occasionally pops up with HD, too.
Next, even with the NeoPDP panel, and using the TV's really quite ugly Dynamic picture preset, the P42V10's pictures aren't as bright and dynamic as those of a good LCD set. And this brightness difference becomes more pronounced using one of the set's more sensible presets, such as Cinema or THX. In a darkened room I guess this might not be too much of a problem, but it does stop images having that 'pop' that so many people like to see.
Next, while HD pictures look detailed and extremely natural, they don't look quite as pin-sharp as we've seen them on one or two LCD TVs.
Finally, the IFC processing does cause some gentle artefacting from time to time, in the form of some slight shimmering around moving objects, sporadic flickering, and even a touch of shearing under extreme circumstances.
But such issues are common with pretty much every strong motion-processing system to some extent, and in the great scheme of things the P42V10's artefacts aren't severe enough to stop the system being a major benefit to pictures for 90 per cent of the time. Plus, of course, when the feature does become distracting with certain high-octane sources, well, you can just turn it off!
Turning to the P42V10's audio, it isn't as all-round excellent as its HD pictures. Chiefly because a slight shortage or range at both the bass and treble ends of the audio spectrum leaves the mid-range feeling a bit compressed. Good volumes can be achieved without distortion or cabinet 'hum' setting in, though, and the set has a decent stab at opening up to accommodate action scenes.
I guess a couple of big comparison questions need to be cleared up here. So first, is the P42V10 a Pioneer 'KURO' killer? No, it isn't. The latest KURO plasmas still outgun the P42V10 on black levels and colour response - though of course, they cost considerably more.
How does the P42V10 stack up against the best LCDs? Here it's more complicated, and a sort of 'horses for courses' situation. For while the best LCDs produce punchier, sharper, more dynamic images with less colour banding, the Panasonic scores on black level (except for more expensive LED backlit TVs) and motion clarity/response time.
Hmm. All this compare and contrast stuff is starting to sound unfairly negative. So probably the best way I can sum the P42V10 in a more upbeat context is by saying that it is actually the best 42in plasma TV you can currently buy (given that Pioneer doesn't do 42in ones anymore). Which makes it a must-audition set for anyone unsure as to which TV technology to buy, and an absolute no-brainer for LCD haters. Especially given its surprisingly aggressive price.

Life is good for chef Katie, and Seconds may be the best restaurant in town, but she wants an even better one she can call her own and she wants her ex-boyfriend back. When the restaurant's invisible "house spirit" gives her one chance to erase a mistake, once proves not enough, but her world changes in unforeseen ways. Perfectly pitched, paced and pictured, Bryan Lee O'Malley's Seconds (SelfMadeHero, £15.99), a follow-up to his six-volume hit Scott Pilgrim, is another manga-influenced romantic fantasy, this time about the perils of wanting perfection at any price. It's cute and clever without being cloying, and O'Malley's sassy redhead restaurateur wins us over as she talks back at the story's narrator.
The gothic tradition is alive, or perhaps splendidly undead, in Emily Carroll's chilling period folktales Through the Woods (Faber & Faber, £12.99). Particularly effective is how Carroll insinuates her handwritten narration within her elegant page designs. For example, the words of a refrain wailing through a haunted house unravel across her panels in white, changing volume between subdued lower-case and emphatic capitals, and inscribed over smearing bloodstains, like the red ribbons with which a second wife binds together her predecessor's skeletal body parts in her murderous husband's bedroom. Bonds of trust easily snap, while forests and caves become tomb-like or womb-like menaces. Carroll knows when to shock on the turn of a page and when to leave her horrors lurking.
Bonds are also tested to breaking point in Fatherland (Jonathan Cape, £16.99), Nina Bunjevac's compulsive attempt to piece together the tragic life and legacy of a father she barely knew. As a dissident Serb in Tito's Yugoslavia, he escaped in 1960 for exile in Canada, where his all-consuming anti-communist terrorism cost him his marriage. His wife finally broke free in 1975 by taking Nina and their other daughter to their grandparents in Yugoslavia for a "short visit", which lasted three years.
Then, in 1977, he died in an explosion while preparing another bomb attack on communist sympathisers. The fear Bunjevac's mother lived with has never entirely gone; returning to Canada, she used to block the children's bedroom windows with furniture each night, and to this day insists that Nina always locks her door, not leaving until she hears the click. Illuminated in exquisite cross-hatched and pointillist realism, Fatherland lucidly untangles political history to show its deep-rooted, far-reaching impact on Bunjevac's parents, family and herself.
Further examples of transforming memories into memoirs include Matilda Tristram's Probably Nothing (Viking, £16.99) and Emmanuel Guibert's How the World Was (First Second, £14.99). Pregnant 18 weeks when diagnosed with bowel cancer, Tristram posted her experiences and feelings online in disarmingly direct cartoons and commentaries. Her tone can veer on the same page from poignant – putting into the baby's cradle "a doll of myself that I made (so if I die I'll still be there)" – to hilarious (contemplating "lacy colostomy bag covers") and furious ("Look at all these people not having cancer."). Hers is autobiography at its most heartfelt and heartening.
Fourteen new stories that would have been forbidden in their time question what was so "great" about the Great War in To End All Wars (Soaring Penguin, £18.99). So, deserter Thomas Highgate narrates his own execution, Jaroslav Hašek's Good Soldier Švejk cross-examines in a trial in The Hague the "inbred genetic incompetents" behind this preventable war, and German artist Otto Dix drags us inside his paintings, "not anti-war statements… rather, they are exorcisms". This fascinating, wide-ranging anthology challenges any revisionist glorifying of heroic sacrifice.

confused by different codes
Model Number: GUI100A012AIN Brand: -other- Age: More than 10 years
the mfg label says inner city products out of Texas, there is no brand name that i can find. My house is at about 59 in the basement, and 64 on the main floor, of couse this sort of thing happens when it is zero outside, but my furnace is not functioning the way it should. the control for the unit is a white-rodgers furnace control, model # 50A50-110 and it shows me 2 different trouble codes. first off, the small blower above, which i believe is for removing fumes, it comes on just before the burner, the igniter starts to glowand then the burner lights and the igniter goes out. about 10 seconds later the blower stars and the furnace runs for about3 minutes or so, and the burner shuts off. i get a 4 flash trouble code from the control while the blower is in the "cool down ". the code reads as "open high limit switch" . Then sometimes it changes habit and after the burner comes on it only stays on for about 10 seconds then shuts off, the code flashes 6 times now, and there is no translation for 6 flash code. can anyone make heads or tail on this?

Style.BasedOn Property
Gets or sets a defined style that is the basis of the current style.
Assembly: PresentationFramework (in PresentationFramework.dll)
Property Value
Type: System.Windows.StyleA defined style that is the basis of the current style. The default value is null.
Each style only supports one BasedOn value.
<object BasedOn="myStyle" .../>
- myStyle
An existing style. Typically, you use the Markup Extensions and WPF XAML to refer to an existing style.
There are several ways that styles in WPF can be extended or inherited. Styles can be based on other styles through this property. When you use this property, the new style will inherit the values of the original style that are not explicitly redefined in the new style. In the following example, Style2 inherits the Control.Background value of Yellow, and adds a Control.Foreground value of Blue.
<Style x:Key="Style1"> <Setter Property="Control.Background" Value="Yellow"/> </Style> <Style x:Key="Style2" BasedOn="{StaticResource Style1}"> <Setter Property="Control.Foreground" Value="Blue"/> </Style>
Similarly, styles can be based on the style of an existing WPF element, as in the following example where the new style is based on the style of a TextBlock element.
<Style x:Key="TitleText" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type TextBlock}}" TargetType="{x:Type TextBlock}"> <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="32pt" /> <Setter Property="Foreground"> <Setter.Value> <LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0.5,0" EndPoint="0.5,1"> <LinearGradientBrush.GradientStops> <GradientStop Offset="0.0" Color="#90C117" /> <GradientStop Offset="1.0" Color="#5C9417" /> </LinearGradientBrush.GradientStops> </LinearGradientBrush> </Setter.Value> </Setter> <Setter Property="RenderTransform"> <Setter.Value> <TranslateTransform X="0" Y="10"/> </Setter.Value> </Setter> </Style>
Note |
If you create a style with a TargetType property and base it on another style that also defines a TargetType property, the target type of the derived style must be the same as or be derived from the type of the base style. |
Styles defined for specific types can also be based on other styles, as in the following example.
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}" BasedOn="{StaticResource Style1}"> <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Green"/> </Style>

No. 97, Hawaiian Ahi Poke at California Fish Grill
Edwin Goei |
Hey, don't ding us for listicles: Weekly DataLab studies show ustedes love this gimmick, launched in honor of our coming Best Of issue. Besides, it is rather fun to do this for us Forkers--an opportunity to highlight dishes from restaurants we'll never full review, or secrets from old standbys. Anyhoo, let the march continue...
Before I ordered my last serving, I wondered what the guy in the back was doing with an industrial-sized container of Huy Fong Foods' popular Sambal Oelek. But upon tasting the poke, I immediately knew it was for what I was eating. There were traces of the chili seeds in the dish, the quiet murmur of its spiciness adding a distinctly Asian accent and a briskness.
Looking like a seaborne pico de gallo, the concoction turns out to be spicier than California Fish Grill's actual salsa and the perfect thing to scoop up chilled with fryer-hot tortilla chips.
The list so far:
98. Takoyaki at Takoyaki Tanota
99. Fiesta Noodles at Jollibee
100. Chilaquiles Verdes Con Huevos Estrellados at La Tablita California

Home > Health Library > Cold Exposure: Ways the Body Loses Heat
The body loses heat through:
Heat loss through evaporation and respiration increases in dry, windy weather conditions.
Wet clothing greatly increases heat loss through conduction and evaporation.
Heat loss in cold, wet weather increases the risk for hypothermia and cold injury. Heat loss can occur in warm temperatures through conduction. Swimming or sitting in cool or cold water can cause the body to lose heat very quickly and increase the risk for hypothermia.
Hypothermia can occur quickly (within a few hours) or gradually over days and weeks depending on a person's age, overall health, and environmental conditions.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Hedge funds were up more than 1% in April, but the $2 trillion industry lagged a strong rally in equity markets that made it tough for managers to short, or bet against stocks.
An index of managers compiled by Hedge Fund Research climbed 1.86% last month, leaving it up 3.59% in the first four months of 2011.
A similar index run by consultant Hennessee Group advanced 1.3% in April, leaving it up 3.8% for the year to date.
Flash-crash flashback
A year after the "flash crash," some Wall Street traders are still suffering from a type of post-traumatic stress that one psychologist calls "the flash-crash flashback." Photo from AP.
The S&P 500 Index SPX, +0.11% jumped 2.9% in April, leaving the equity benchmark up more than 8% in the first four months of this year. The Barclays Aggregate Bond Index gained 1.27% for a four-month increase of 1.71%, while the Barclays High Yield Credit Bond Index advanced 1.55% and is up 5.49% in the first four months of 2011, according to Hennessee.
"While managers generated gains in long portfolios as equity markets continued to rally, shorting remains challenging for hedge-fund managers," said Charles Gradante, co-founder of Hennessee Group, in a statement.
Different stocks have been moving together a lot more since the 2008 financial crisis. This correlation declined early this year, but it has returned with the political turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa. High correlation makes it difficult to make money by going long certain stocks and shorting others — a bedrock strategy in the hedge-fund industry. Read more about correlations.
Short-biased managers tracked by Hedge Fund Research lost 3.15% in April, leaving them down 8.69% in the first four months of 2011.
Einhorn closes shorts
David Einhorn, head of hedge fund firm Greenlight Capital, closed more than a dozen short positions recently because rising stock markets have made it more difficult to hedge and bet against companies.
In April, Einhorn returned 0.8%, leaving him down 2.6% in the first four months of 2011, according to a disclosure on the website of reinsurer Greenlight Capital Re GLRE, +0.91% .
Och-Ziff Capital Management's OZM, -0.90% largest hedge fund, the OZ Master Fund, returned 0.69% in April, leaving it up 4.08% so far in 2011.
The main hedge funds run by Ken Griffin's Citadel LLC returned 0.44% in April, leaving them up 8.1% so far this year.
Fortress Investment Group's FIG, -0.13% global macro hedge fund lost 1.21% last month, leaving it up 0.71% in the first four months of 2011, according to a regulatory filing this week.
Paulson's gold
Paulson & Co.'s Advantage fund was up less than 0.1% in April, leaving it down 1.2% in the first four months of 2011.
The firm's Advantage Plus fund, which uses the same strategy with a small layer of leverage, gained just over 0.1% last month, leaving it off 1.6% year-to-date.
Paulson's other funds performed better. The firm's Credit Opportunities fund climbed 1.4% in April and is up 7.8% year-to-date. The Recovery fund, which invests in financial institutions that need new capital, advanced 1.5%, leaving it up 5.7% so far in 2011.
Paulson's gold fund jumped 8.5% in April, leaving it up 7.8% in the first four months of this year.
Paulson also offers gold-denominated share classes of the firm's hedge funds. These have performed better this year as gold has rallied. The gold share class of Paulson Advantage returned 5.5% through April.
Gold dropped this week as higher margin requirements to trade silver prompted a sharp sell off in precious metals and some commodities like oil.
"While silver and gold experienced a correction over the last few days, most managers believe silver and gold will continue to increase until there is evidence of a rise in interest rates, which would strengthen the dollar," Hennessee's Gradante said.

Behind the Design
"My personal philosophy is that I enjoy life more if I'm surrounded by things that I built myself. I understand my surroundings and I connect better with my environment. It was a love of building product, making things for myself and my friends that got me into this business.
I started out by building day packs and backpacks for customers in Santa Cruz. I was fresh out of University and I really enjoyed setting my own hours, building gear and listening to stories about how that gear had travelled to some peaks or around the world."

Rules for a Rogue is available now!
This start of a new series features a family of rebels who've inherited their father's etiquette book publishing business. None of them were terribly fond of their father's books, especially Kit, the oldest and hero of the first book.
Like my other stories, this one is set in the Victorian era, in the early 1890s. I love the period because of the changes taking place in society and technology. Women had more options in terms of employment and the women's suffrage movement was well underway.
Ophelia, my heroine in Rules for a Rogue, is one of my favorites. She's strong, smart, and struggles with making the right decisions to support her family and protect her heart.
I love these character so much that I commissioned a fabulous artist named Jenna Paddey to create sketches of Kit and Ophelia.
Once you read the book after it's released in November, I hope you'll let me know what you think of my first hero and heroine in the new Romancing the Rules series!

Regarding the success of mobile devices, the right combination of application processor (AP) and cellular modem is getting important more and more. For OEM vendors, two types of solutions are available today: a
dual-chip solution with discrete AP and modem components or a single-chip solution with the AP and modem integrated together into a single chip. To date, the concept that a single-chip solution is more
cost effective and competitive than a dual-chip solution has been the industry norm. This paper offers a competitive analysis of single-chip vs. dual-chip solutions by revealing the high-performance/low-power
advantages for smartphone and tablet designs.

How Do You Get Rid of a Staph Infection?
The skin is the most common area infected by "staph" (Staphylococcus) bacteria. However, staph infections aren't confined to the skin -- they can affect virtually any other part of the body.
For minor cases, warm compresses applied to the affected skin may be the only remedy needed to get rid of the staph infection. In mild cases of impetigo (a bacterial infection that causes sores or blisters on the face or other parts of the body), a healthcare provider may prescribe an antibiotic that is applied to the skin.
In other situations, the staph infection goes deeper into the skin. In this situation, a healthcare provider may insert a needle to remove some of the infected fluid or make a cut on the skin to drain the infection. Oral antibiotics may also be prescribed. The type of antibiotic that is used will depend on the specific type of staph bacteria causing the infection, along with whether it is resistant to certain types of antibiotics.
(To learn more about how you can get rid of a staph infection, click Staph Infection Treatment. This article talks in greater detail about the treatment options and explains why self-treating an infection can be dangerous.)

Atomos Announces Ronin And Ronin Duo At IBC 2012
Melbourne, Australia – September 7, 2012
Atomos, creator of award-winning field recorders Ninja-2 and Samurai, as well as the small, but perfectly formed, Connect converters, announce the Ronin portable Recorder/Player/Monitor at IBC 2012. Ronin is a smart solution for both fixed-facility and on-location production.
"Atomos has a reputation for developing affordable low power, high functionality, portable devices. We are now leveraging our expertise to move into more production environments, including studio, broadcast and professional AV," said Jeromy Young, CEO and Founder of Atomos. "Our simple to use, touchscreen AtomOS operating system provides the ease of operation that is important to these markets."
Based on the award-winning Samurai field recorder, the Ronin features touchscreen ease of use, capture to Apple ProRes® and Avid DNXHD, professional monitoring and edit review. Like the Samurai, it can operate on location with battery or DC power, but it can also be used in a fixed facility, rack-mounted environment using AC power.
In addition, the Ronin has balanced XLR inputs and outputs, along with a front panel headphone jack with channel monitoring selection. It also has an internal battery charging system for attached Atomos batteries when connected to AC power.
Ronin Features:
- Full HD-SDI recorder, player and monitor in one
- Rugged, compact design with carry handle, 1/2 rack and rack mount compatibility
- Triple redundancy power options – AC, DC (D-Tap) and continuous battery operation
- Balanced XLR audio I/O
- SDI, timecode, Lanc and Atomos Active Serial record triggering
- Front panel audio controls and 3.5mm headphone jack
- Adjustable front and rear feet for tilt control
- Multiple 1/4 inch mounting options for cameras and accessories
For customers needing HDMI capability, they can simply attach an Atomos Connect H2S and/or S2H converter. The Ronin's compact half-rack size makes it suitable for any video production environment.
Ronin Duo offers two side by side Ronins elegantly mounted in an included custom 19″ Rack Adaptor. Combining dual HDD/SSD recording and dual 5″ monitoring for recording and playback, the Ronin Duo delivers exactly what professional environments require. Back up recording and multiple monitors give confidence and peace of mind on any production.
Pricing and availability
Atomos anticipate that Ronin and Ronin Duo will be available for pre-order before the end of 2012, priced around $2,195 and $3995 respectively. Connect Converters are priced at $349 USD. For more information on all Atomos products, please visit http://www.sharbor.com/vendors/MOS.html.

Ashlea Scarf
This is a very easy scarf pattern. Although the lacy stitch pattern looks a little complicated, it uses only chains, and single and double crochet stitches. Once you establish the pattern, it is only a simple one row repeat, which is easy to memorize. It is simple to make this design wider or narrower, and I think it would make a pretty shawl also.
I used WW weight yarn and a K hook. The stitch pattern is quite dense in places, so it drapes better if you use a hook that seems a little large for the yarn. I crochet loosely.
This pattern uses a stitch multiple of 4 plus 1. Then you add 3 more to your beginning chain for the turning chain. (which in this case means that your beginning chain has to be a multiple of 4.) This means that you could make a narrower scarf by subtracting 4 stitches or make a wider scarf or a shawl, by adding stitches in multiples of 4.
My scarf turned out to be 7 inches wide. If I made it again, I might make it a little narrower, but this scarf is going to a "warm the homeless project" that was organized by one of my co-workers so the width will be welcome for warmth.
Stitches used:
ch: chain
dc: double crochet
sc: single crochet
Special stitches:
cluster: 1 dc and 1 sc both in same chain or stitch
v stitch: 1 dc, ch1, 1 dc all done in the same chain or stitch
V stitch in v stitch means that you make a v stitch in the chain 1 space of the v stitch in the previous row.
The chain 3 that starts each row is there to give the scalloped effect along the edge of the scarf and is not used as a working stitch. Just ignore it when you get to the end of the row. The last cluster is worked into the last actual stitch of the row, not the turning chain.
The Pattern:
Chain 20. Remember to use a hook that is a couple of sizes larger than the yarn calls for, so that your scarf will drape nicely.
Row 1: Make cluster into the 4th ch from the hook), **skip a ch, v stitch in the next ch, skip a chain, cluster into the next ch**, repeat from ** to **. You should end with a cluster in the last chain. Ch 3, turn
Row 2: Skip the first sc, make a cluster in the next st, (which is the dc of the cluster below),
**v stitch into the v stitch below, cluster into the DC of the cluster below**, repeat from ** to **, ending with a cluster in the last DC of the last cluster. Do not stitch into the ch 3 turning chain.
ch 3, turn.
Repeat row 2 until your scarf is as long as you want it to be.
The pattern consists of clusters worked in the DC of the clusters in the row beneath alternating with v stitches worked in the chain 1 space of the v stitch in the previous row.
If you don't want the scalloped edge, using a ch 2 as a turning chain will make the edge straighter. If you choose this option, you would need to subtract one chain from the beginning chain.
Pattern is untested, except by myself. Please let me know if something is unclear, or you find a mistake.
You may sell one or two items made from this pattern, but you may not sell the pattern or publish it anywhere else. Please link to the pattern if you post a picture elsewhere.
41 comments:
Hi, Susan, thanks for the compliment. You can make the scarf narrower by subtracting 4 or 8 stitches from the beginning chain. When a pattern is a multiple of 4 (as this one is), you can just subtract chains in multiples of 4 to make the item smaller, and add in multiples of 4 to make it larger.

I am daughter to Ruth who knits and granddaughter to Agda who could make (sew, knit, crochet) literally anything.
I am also a nurse and my hospital gives away blankets & shawls to patients through our volunteer service. My husband had a liver transplant in 09 & doing well. His blanket is a constant reminder of the people who cared for us. It's inspired me to learn how to crochet. Your scarf pattern will be my first attempt before I jump into blankets for donation. The scarf is for me ;-)
Thank You for Sharing! - AnonymousOctober 22, 2011 at 12:15 PM
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this pattern. I have so much yarn in my stash that I can make some beautiful scarves with this pattern for Christmasx. I can't wait - even if I don't give them all to family, they will be given to a doc in my daughter's town who sends pkgs to an Indian reservation each year - I know for a fact they truly appreciate them, as I've sent them the last 4-5 years. Thanks again.

I don't remember seeing such a lovely scarf in a long time! It is breathtaking and can easily go from "every day" to "special day/purpose" without a probem! I have projects to finish off (both knitting and crochet) but when done, I plan to make this. I'm even going to get real gutsy and see how this will work done with crochet thread. I'll let you know how it works out...but give me awhile because my volunteer work keeps me rather busy too. Thanks again, and by the way I salute you and all nurses and doctors for the work you do day in and day out. You're one special breed of people; right up there with the armed forces! Anonymous2

I am in the process of making this scarf right now, and I have a question. I have noticed this with other things I make so I know it is not your pattern it is something I do. As I work my way up from the chain, I find that the bottom is curling. Also when I hold the scarf up, it seems to look like it gets narrower as it gets closer to the chain. I know that it isn't any smaller at that end, because all the stitches fit. It just seems to "look" that way. Any suggestions on what I could be doing wrong?
Thank youRepliesI'm a long ways from being an expert and I'm not really sure what would cause this. My best guess is that your beginning chain is more tightly crocheted than the rest of your work. This would cause that end to curl and look narrower as work progresses. You could try using a bigger hook for your beginning chain, and then using a smaller hook for the rest of the pattern. Hope that idea works for you.

I understand that you aren't an expert, but I like getting thoughts from other crocheters. I figure other people might think of something I didn't, and it worked!! Thank you for the idea of using a larger hook, that's a great idea! I am too far into this one to start over and it doesn't seem TOO bad with this one. But when I do the next one, I just love this pattern it's beautiful, I will definitely try the larger hook to start. Thank You very much for your thoughts!
Delete I know your post was from long ago, but as I was looking at patterns I seen it. Everything I crochet has been that way. I think I am so tight and focused when I start, as I get "comfortable" with the pattern... I loosen up, if that makes sense.
I am finishing up this scarf. Very pretty but my question is: The beginning end with the chains is straight, the ending end has scallops. How do I get a straight edge on the finishing end? Hope this makes since. My daughter also wants fringe on hers. Yes, I should have made it more narrow, will for sure the next one!!!
ReplyDeleteJOAnn, It's been a long time since I made this scarf, and I donated the ones I made to charity, so I don't have one to look at. I don't have time right now to make up the scarf and try to make the end straight, but the first thing I would try is to make all the stitches in the last row the same height. By that I mean either do all DC's or all SC's instead of the combination of stitches that the pattern calls for. If you choose to do all SC's you probably should do either a ch 1 or a ch 2 to start that row. You may need to do a little experimenting to see what works best.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this beautiful pattern . I made this scarf as a gift for my mother inlaw for her birthday. So very easy i was able to make it in two days. I've made alot of intricate lacy patterns that are very time consuming this pattern works up fast . I know I will be making lots of these for christmas gifts. And also going to make a bunch to donate as this is a fun scarf to keep me busy through the long up coming winter.
ReplyDeleteI started working this pattern and it is really beautiful and easy! I notice you say to use multiples of 4 plus 1 and I had trouble with that, because you posted in your pattern to ch 20. Shouldn't that be 21 to start? Anyway, that's the only problem I could see and I had to be pretty knitpicky to find it (pardon the pun!).
I teach crochet at my local yarn store. Would you mind if I shared this pattern and your blog spot?- AnonymousJanuary 1, 2013 at 3:53 PM
I made this for my sister last Christmas turned out just beautiful and was so easy. Thank you for sharing this pattern.
ReplyDelete I am going to try this scarf also as I find it beautiful and it seems so easy to make. One question: about how much yarn is needed?

Am crocheting this scarf this evening. Misplaced the scarf I have had for the last 10 years. It was not home made. This scarf is turning out very soft and flexible. Thank you.

Thank you for posting this! Love this scarf pattern. I am on my third one! I made the last 2 narrower and your right it seems to work better. I was thinking it would be nice for a light blanket. Think I might try that too!

Let's Hangout on Google+
On Sunday, June 3, 2012, I participated in an on-line discussion hosted by the Webheads network and met Curt Bonk, a Professor at Indiana University, and author of The World is Open. Curt talked about Instructional Ideas and Technology Tools for Online Success. The archive is here.
I reached out to Curt on Linked in and we began to exchange messages. He sent me his book which I've read and found to be a great resource. You can see how I used sticky notes to point to pages and links I intended to look up after reading the book. Then I went to this page on his web site and found that he has already done much of this work for me. He has excerpts from each chapter, and has posted links to organizations that he talked about in the book, in a chapter-by-chapter sequence. It's really a great way to connect readers with content.
Curt was in Chicago last Friday and we met for breakfast. So in less than month I went from not knowing he existed, to sitting for breakfast and talking about learning, the Cubs and the Milwaukee Brewers (Curt's from Wisconsin!).
As I've connected to the Webheads and others I'm dramatically expanding my network and the ideas I have available to do my own work in Chicago. Most recently I've participated in a couple of Sunday morning Google Hangouts. You can find links to these in this archive of Webheads events. These are FREE. Anyone can participate.
So what's next? I'd like to create a Google Hangout where I can connect with others who already share my own vision of helping inner-city kids. While I host forums on Ning, Linked in and Facebook, the Google Hangout offers a way for us to connect in live, but informal, conversations and relationship building.
We can talk about the November 19 Tutor/Mentor Conference in Chicago, or Volunteer Recruitment efforts taking place during August and September. Or we can talk about ways to connect during January 2013 National Mentoring Month. Or we can just share a bit about what we do in different programs and different places, what works, and what challenges we need to over come.
Are you interested? Connect with me on Google+ and lets schedule a time to "hang out".
network building,
shared value

Los Angeles, CA - July 29, 2013 - Redbana refreshes the experience of playing AIKA Online this August with the upcoming patch update: Zereca's Plot: Land of Wailing. With this patch, players have brand new content and features to explore and enjoy.
Level Cap Raised to Level 90
All players had to make do with the level 85 level ceiling-that is, once they've struggled through training their characters to reach that point. Zereca's Plot: Land of Wailing increases both possibilities and game difficulty by increasing the max level of all characters to level 90, and adding a few key features that will change the gameplay as veterans know it:
New Skills
Each job class gets a new skill waiting to be unlocked at level 85.
New Level 90 Equipment
Each job class can get new equipment sets to augment their characters' strengths. With the new Unique Disassembly System, players can acquire the materials for the Heaven Set by disassembling level 80 unique equipment.
Pran Changes
Just like the players' characters, Prans have notable changes in this update too. With Pran Skill Improvements better viewed once the update goes live, and the Property Change feature allows for wider customization choices.
New Field Map, New Dungeon
The titular Land of Wailing map is added to the game, filled with monsters ranging from level 90 to 95. With it comes a new HELL MODE dungeon. In Kynari Aviary HELL MODE, players level 85 and up can enter this daily dungeon to challenge the powerful boss: Seridunn.
If players experience difficulty in this map, they can receive a special buff through the Air Garden Totem for assistance.
About Redbana

Breaking Bad is a show with something of a body count. But until you look at the raw numbers, it's hard to appreciate quite how bloody Walt's rise and fall has been.
So far, across the 61 episodes that have aired so far, 260 people have met their end; not a single one through natural causes. Admittedly, 167 of those are nameless innocents who died in a midair plain crash, but that still leaves a spectacular trail of 93 corpses (well, 91, if you consider the two meth dealers whom Walt and Jesse melted in a bathtub).
By comparison, The Sopranos - 82 episodes long - features 92 deaths, of which a meagre 62 are murders - despite the fact that it portrays more than one out-and-out mob war. Stats like these really rather call into question Tony Soprano's commitment to his craft.
Interestingly, our protagonist only has seven direct murders to his name, but he's had a hand in a further 16, and then there was that time he tried to poison an innocent child with ricin. The bloodiest murderer is Gus, who, for a quiet man of dignity and reserve, has managed 12 kills by his own hand.
Of course, with one more episode to go, and a goodly amount of automatic weaponry in play, the body count is surely set to rise. For now though, let's look back at some of the show's best deaths.
The inaugural murder: Emilio Koyama, poisoned by phosphine gas
Walt's first murder, back in happier times. Emilio was Jesse's original partner in the meth business, but turned against him and Walt following a DEA bust. Walt promises he'll show him and his partner Krazy 8 how to make better drugs, but instead uses his superior knowledge of chemistry to fill the caravan with toxic gas and locks him in. The really macabre detail with this particular death, though is the way our heroes subsequently dissolve Koyama's body in a bathtub full of hydrofluoric acid, creating something of a mess of thick, human soup dripping through the ceiling.
The most painful-looking death: Spooge, head crushed by an ATM
Spooge and his partner are an abject lesson in the darker side of the meth trade: two impressively gross junkies living in utter squalor. They kidnap Jesse and trap him in their horrible house with their adorable son and try to break into a cash machine they've managed to pinch. There's a stroke of luck, though, after Spooge calls his girlfriend a 'skank' one too many times and she drops the ATM he's poking at right onto his head, at which point she simply sits back down on the sofa and has a nap.
The award for dramatic irony: Tortuga, decapitated and attached to a tortoise
'Tortuga', which means tortoise in Spanish, is a DEA informant with a taste for catalogue goods. He is not long for the show though, because he's dead almost as soon as he arrives on screen, decapitated presumably by a machete to the neck, and strapped to an exploding tortoise by those practical jokers in the cartel.
The saddest death by some distance: Jane Margolis, choking on her own vomit
Jane, Jesse's beloved, is really spoiling Walt's meth schedule by taking up all his partner's time with intravenous drug use and whatnot. The pair are just about to make their break for freedom from the horrible Albuquerque underworld, so Walt does the only sensible thing when he finds her passed out and suffocating in her own sick: watch her as she dies. Perhaps it's at this point that everyone really starts to register quite how bad Walt has broken.
The most impressive entrance: Nine Mexican immigrants, shot and burned
The twin cartel hitmen with the natty footwear and the murderous disposition make their presence first felt in showy style. They cross the border into the US in a camouflaged truck holding another nine illegal immigrants, and kill them all, before setting the truck on fire. Are they covering their tracks, or just doing it because they can?
The most blameless demise: Gale Boetticher, shot in the face
Poor, gentle Gale, who just wanted Walt to be his friend, was nothing more than a pawn in Walt and Gus's deadly power struggle. Even though he too is a mass-manufacturer of very addictive illegal drugs, Gale is probably the biggest innocent on the show, a blameless man who enjoys his chemistry. That makes his death all the harder, as it's another sloughing off of Walt - the instigator's - humanity, both for the murder of a kind man, and for the fact he manipulated Jesse into doing his dirty work.
Well, we didn't see that coming: Victor, throat slit by a boxcutter
Victor is one of Gus's right-hand men, an implacable enforcer and a continual thorn in Walt's side. So when Gus calmly slits his throat with no warning, just to prove a point, we're left in no doubt as to how much of a terrifying sociopath the man is. Gus makes his point with the cold-eyed murder of an ally, right in front of Walt, who is left to ponder what Gus might do to him, if he can do that to his mate. To add salt to the wound, Walt is then pointedly required to melt the corpse, which does not seem to get much easier the more you do it.
The brass neck award for sheer audacity: Don Eladio and his captains, poisoned tequila
At this point, we're under no illusion that the quiet Gustavo Fring is actually a ruthless butchering criminal mastermind. Even he, however, has to cede power in the face of the arrayed might of the cartels, or so we think. So at a meet-and-greet in Mexico, when he apparently has no choice but to trade Jesse for his own life, he poisons everyone, including himself, over a celebratory nip of tequila. It's one of those moments we find ourselves rooting for a guy even worse than Walt, which just goes to show how well Breaking Bad manages to twist our perspective and blacken the soul.
At this point we're just revelling in carnage: Gus Fring, pipe bomb
In the days before the majesty that was "Ozymandias", everyone thought the episode in which Gus is killed couldn't be topped. It's still an incredible episode, in which the audience gleefully and willingly cheers on a carefully orchestrated if crudely implemented assassination by one blood-thirsty drug lord on another, via a bomb in a nursing home. Remember when Gus walked out of the room and straightened his tie with only half a head? Good times.
The most noble demise: Mike Ehrmantraut, shot in the gut
There is something serene about Mike's end: the loyal retainer dies on his own terms in peace and quiet at a riverbank. Of course, he was only shot in the first place in a fit of Walt's pique, more or less at the height of his megalomania. This death takes place in quiet contrast to most of the rest of the show's frenzied violence. His dying words: "Shut the f*** up and let me die in peace."
The best spree: Mike's guys, shanked, choked, burned and bludgeoned to death in prison
This sequence, in which Walt orders the execution of all the numerous loose ends who could implicate him to the DEA, and whom he no longer wishes to pay off, is almost balletic in its butchery. Ten men in three separate prisons die in a two-minute window. It's as impressive as it sounds.
Hopes dashed: Hank Schrader, shot in the head
Nigh-on everyone expected the redoubtable Agent Schrader to bring Walt to justice, one way or another. His death, then, is especially cruel, not least because the show bends over backwards to persuade the audience that he might just wriggle out of his increasingly inevitable demise at the hands of Uncle Jack. He doesn't, of course. He doesn't even get to finish his last words. Once more, the inarguable message of this moment, indeed of the whole show, is that evil prevails and everyone you love will die.

Rotary Topspinner, 50 metre with Metal Ground Spike, Size 2, 45mm diameter - Metallic Grey is rated out of 5 by 47.Rated 4 out of 5 by MISSJC from built to last, light but hard to initially put up. Very sturdy and well built washing line, what you'd expect from this manufacturer. Be warned - it took two of us to open it out with extreme force as the line is so tightly strung, so once it was assembled we left it up! (!). For that reason I wouldn't recommend it to ladies who don't have a helping hand around! The whole thing isn't too heavy, it comes with a garden spike (which I would also recommend not trying to hammer in the ground between patio slabs as it is very wide and deep). Another thing to note is that the whole thing rotates, not just the arms, which I don't think is made clear in the 'topspinner' description. Last Brabantia lasted ages, and I think this will too.Date published: 2013-03-15Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Good Points: The washing line has a lot of space for clothes. Bad Points: It doesn't seem very solid/sturdy (aluminium) and the individual lines are starting to bend in the middle after washing has been hung on them. It seems nowadays everything is made on the cheap, as the last Brabantia rotary washing line I purchased was 5 years ago and I paid a similar amount back then and the frame & lines were much more sturdy, which is why I wanted to purchase another Brabantia product. Having said that, it does the job.Date published: 2011-07-15Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Good Points: Very lightweight so easy for me to lift in and out due to back problem as this is not a permanent fixture in our garden. Easy to open and close, my last one I struggled to get it to click into the open position due to my back. Good solid and easy to install metal ground spike. Like the plastic tie to keep all lines together when not in use. Like plastic cap to put on stake when not in use and you can clip to line when off stake so you do not lose it. Bad Points: Felt price could have reflected the lightweight aluminium. Just a little bit less.Date published: 2011-07-11Rated 5 out of 5 by NonnaDonna from LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! I have had mine a year or so and absolutely love it. Here in The part of NC USA where I live we have fairly mild weather. I am 68 and grew up hanging clothes on the clothesline. The fragrance of sunshine-dried clothes cannot be matched; and takes me back to my childhood when life was simpler and carefree. The added bonus is that the air and sunshine are still free so I save on electrical bill by not running dryer very often. I heartily recommend the Brabantia brand and will look to make other purchases as I replace household goods. 5 stars in every category.Date published: 2016-03-08Rated 3 out of 5 by Clockwatcher from sturdy but disappointing I thought the top bit would spin round, but it doesn't, the whole pole spins, so not sure why it's called 'topspinner' but it's sturdy, plenty of hanging space & has a choice of 3 heights for the washing line, so it does the job if that's what you want of a rotary washing line.Date published: 2012-12-06Rated 5 out of 5 by peted12 from Great item. Good price If you're looking for a quality product you can't go wrong with this make. Tesco price was very competitive even against auction sites. Delivered to our nearby store next day. The build quality is better than most plain aluminium framed products and the washing line is strong and folds down well. Second time we've bought one,the first being over twelve years old and only replaced as bent by buildersDate published: 2013-05-17Rated 4 out of 5 by CriticalUser from Sturdy and well constructed 40M Topspinner dryer I have just installed the 40M 4 arm Top-spinner Dryer using the heavy duty, very stout ground spike included. First impressions are that it is a very solid and well built product. The spike is similarly so, though many will find it difficult to drive into their lawn. This task is very much easier in wet winter ground and of course a fairly large hammer and old piece of fence post to protect the top are essential aids. One disappointing feature however is that Brabantia's claim to easily spin is rather a hollow claim. The design is such that the arms rotate against the green catch upon which the dryer rests when raised up and clicks into position. Even without loading with washing, the friction is such that the whole post rotates in the ground socket! The rotating feature it seem is more down to accident than design!Date published: 2016-01-12Rated 3 out of 5 by ktp57 from Doesn't spin as well as I thought it would This doesn't spin all that well and the line tension could be better and so am a bit dissappointed as the line wasn't cheap. I am sure it is possible to push the line up higher but it is much too difficult to do so I will have to make do with line that is a bit loose!Date published: 2013-12-14

The US private equity firm Sun Capital Partners is making a bet on the UK high street with a £100m double purchase, snapping up American Golf and Jacques Vert.
The UK's biggest golf specialist, American Golf was put up for sale for £80m by Lloyds Development Capital earlier this year. It is thought Sun has paid less than this – between £50m and £60m – while it paid £41.2m for thelisted womenswear retailer Jacques Vert.
The two brands, which Sun has dubbed "retirement brands", are the latest in a line of deals Sun has made in the last quarter.
It bought the womenswear group Alexon in a pre-packaged administration in September, and earlier this month completed a deal to buy the German retail chain Strauss Innovation.
Paul Daccus, the managing director of Sun European Partners, said: "Where retailers serve a specific niche such as these 'retirement' brands like American Golf and Jacques Vert, and provided the execution is right, then we believe retail is a good investment."
Both Alexon and Jacques Vert, targeting 50 plus women, will be expanded overseas, and Sun plans to bring them into its Dutch department store business, V&D. As well as concessions and a small store network, Sun plans to grow their mail order and internet businesses.
In July it bought the Dutch young fashion business Scotch & Soda. Sun is planning to open Scotch & Soda stores in London next year as well as an expansion into the US through its brand business Kellwood.
Sun has £2bn to invest and plans a new fund next year. While Sun has considered Blacks Leisure, it is not pursuing a bid for the outdoor clothing chain.

Mack Bulldog RC truck bodyMake your own Lexan RC car or truck body? Why not. I got lucky at the plastics shop when they mis-picked some material a few years back: I got 18 sheets of .063" thick clear MAKROLON polycarb, and they didn't charge me for it. Since they couldn't use it, they gave it to me. A bit tough to cut, but the results should be better than bulletproof. My Tamiya Blackfoot custom-chassis'd truck will have a big flatbed Mack AC Bulldog look, but be done up very modern. the body will be gloss black...I think. ?I just found some bright orange paint. Orange Blossom Special? |

Neat thing about Lexan...
"Unlike most thermoplastics, polycarbonate can undergo large plastic deformations without cracking or breaking. As a result, it can be processed and formed at room temperature using sheet metal techniques, such as forming bends on a brake. Even for sharp angle bends with a tight radius, no heating is generally necessary. "
From Wikipedia. The stuff is not easy to bend with your hands. I need to get a sheet metal brake, and soon. My next toy. |
More on the Tamiya MACK TruckGround clearance at the center of the frame is 3.66 inches. The body parts were mouse-sheened on the CNC (still learning this material), and bonded using Oatey Black ABS cement. A prior test showed excellent bonding, the cement soaks in and melts the parts together well. The flatbed is large enough to carry a Tamiya Wild Willy2. A view from the underside shows the sub-frame of the body structure. The body and bed are all one part, and four #6 x 1/2" screws at each end hold it in place. I have wanted to make a big, radio-controlled MACK AC Bulldog truck, forever. Tamiya's bullet-proof Blackfoot Xtreme provides a solid, not-too-pricey base, one that I know can take some abuse. I'm installing a Traxxas/Novak 14.4V speed control, Haven't decided on cell count yet, that I'll play with. Before I can do that, I need to draw up and make a radio box for this. I'd like to seal it up for puddle-jumps. I just found the locked diff that I set up for one of the Wild Willy2's about four years ago (I'd written the date onto it with sharpie when I filled it with J-B-Weld). |

California Attorney General Kamala Harris' attempt to bring an enforcement action against Delta Air Lines, Inc. won't be leaving the runway. California Superior Court Judge Marla J. Miller has dismissed a data privacy complaint against Delta brought by Attorney General Harris. The development comes as an unexpected bump in the road for the Attorney General's office, which has made enforcement of state privacy regulations a top priority. Judge Miller agreed with Delta's argument that the claim should be dismissed on federal preemption grounds.
As we wrote previously, the claim against Delta arose in connection with the "Fly Delta" mobile application which, according to Attorney General Harris, violates California's Online Privacy Protection Act ("CalOPPA") because it fails to post a privacy policy. In October 2012, Delta was one of 100 mobile application developers to receive a warning letter from the Attorney General's office, requesting that its application be brought into compliance with state law. After the warning letter's 30 day period expired, Attorney General Harris filed an action alleging that Delta's application continued to engage in unfair business practices by violating CalOPPA.
While the dismissal of the complaint against Delta is not the outcome the Attorney General wanted, it is properly viewed as a set-back rather than defeat. The Attorney General's office has worked systematically over the past two years to build consensus around its claim that mobile applications are an "online service" and therefore must comply with CalOPPA. Its complaint against Delta was widely viewed as a test case signaling the Attorney General's intention to increase enforcement efforts. Although the complaint was dismissed, Judge Miller's holding that the federal Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 preempts application of CalOPPA to the Fly Delta application is industry-specific. Attorney General Harris is still free to (and likely will) bring enforcement actions against non-compliant mobile applications that aren't operated by commercial airlines. Whether the same preemption argument would apply to other federally-regulated industries remains an open question.
So then, if you're not in the business of operating a commercial airline, what does this mean for you? It means there is no time like the present to make sure that your mobile application or website service complies with CalOPPA's requirements. An advisor to Attorney General Harris has already confirmed that in addition to preparing an appeal of the dismissal of the claim against Delta, the Attorney General's office is preparing to bring a number of additional enforcement actions. As we have noted previously, the $2,500 per violation fine associated with this type of claim would potentially be staggering, since each download of a non-compliant application would constitute a separate violation. The potential penalties likely exceed the cost to comply by a large multiple. As always, if you have any questions your Mintz Levin privacy team is ready to help.
