Hong Kong pulled of a comfortable 53-run victory over Canada in the 23rd match of the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Monday (November 18).
Irfan Ahmed and Waqas Barkat, the openers, put on a 102-run stand for the first wicket after Canada won the toss and elected to field. Hiral Patel provided the breakthrough in the 12th over, dismissing Barkat for 31.
Ahmed then held the innings together and shared a 42-run partnership with Nizakat Khan for the fourth wicket and then reached his maiden Twenty20 century in just 53 balls before being dismissed by Harvir Baidwan for 100. Hong Kong ended its innings at 168 for 5.
Canada's chase was thwarted by Munir Dar, who dismissed both openers within six overs with only 26 runs on the board. Ashish Bagai (15) and Jimmy Hansara (26) put together 38 runs for the fourth wicket, but Irfan removed the two batsmen off successive balls.
The fight went out of Canada after that and though Raza-ur-Rehman (26) put up a fight, the task was always beyond Canada, which slipped to its third successive loss in the tournament, this one by 53 runs.
Dar ended with 4 for 17 and Irfan picked up 2 for 22.
Jamie Atkinson, the Hong Kong captain said, "Three wins from three games is excellent. We need to maintain the momentum, be positive and not slide. Next couples of our matches are in three days which will be important for us to win and maintain our top position.
"We have played UAE many times in other ICC tournaments, so we know a lot about their players, obviously they are very strong at home and they work well as a unit. So basically we need to get together again and keep pushing ourselves, and then we should have a great chance against them."
Irfan Ahmed, the all-rounder, was named Man of the Match for his 53-ball century and two wickets.
"Past few innings have been quite outstanding and to score a hundred in a Twenty20 International and pick up two wickets in two balls was quiet amazing. In terms of T20s performances, can't really imagine a better performance. Two other lads also picked up points; this shows there is consistency in the side and everyone is contributing," the captain said.

A PROGRAMME of affordable house building –– backed by £300,000 from council coffers – has been announced.
Members of South Lakeland District Council's cabinet have agreed to give 'in principle' financial support for 43 new affordable homes.
Fourteen houses are proposed at Burland Grove, Kendal; 14 at Briery Bank, Arnside and five on land off Collingwood Close, Coniston.
Grants will be funded through a combination of the government's Homes and Com-munities Agency, the housing associations involved, the New Homes Bonus Reserve and the council's Second Homes Fund.
The council has benefited by more than £1.5 million from thousands of second home owners – with cash now diverted towards helping it finance affordable housing schemes.
However, the sites must win planning consent before construction can start.
Cabinet also approved in principle the allocation of £502,186 to South Lakes Housing, which is the main provider of affordable rented housing and owns 3,155 former SLDC council homes.
The money is for a development at Binfold Croft, Kirkby Lonsdale, which will provide 10 new homes.
SLDC said the half-a-million pounds had been obtained from the developer of the nearby Tram Lane housing project as one of the planning conditions. South Lakes Housing, based in Kendal, will also contribute up to £1.2 million. Cabinet also agreed to 'freeze' the council's affordable house prices rate.
It means two bedroom homes will remain priced at £95,000, a three bedroom home will be £110,000 and four bedrooms at £125,000.
Flat prices will also remain the same and an extra price category has been created for one-bedroom homes and bungalows – with the value set at £85,000.

The family of a well-known theatre manager have paid tribute to him as a 'devoted husband, dad and friend' following his sudden death at the age of 59.
Walter Swan, the creative development manager of Ilkley Playhouse, died of a suspected heart attack at his home in Moor Lane, Burley-in-Wharfedale, on Easter Monday.
His wife, Niccola, 55, and sons Laurie, 26, and Finlay, 24, described Walter as "the most loving husband and father we could ever have wished for". He will be remembered as a passionate member of the Playhouse, supporter of the Ilkley Literature Festival and a keen sportsman.
Niccola said: "He was a devoted dad who loved his boys to bits. He was really well known in Ilkley; you couldn't walk down the street without people stopping to say hello and he was always kind and welcoming. His death was so sudden and unexpected. He will be so missed by so many."
Mr Swan moved to Burley-in-Wharfedale from Croydon with his family in 1997. A graduate of Hertford College at Oxford University, he had worked as an English and drama teacher as well as in broadcasting – during which he wrote for the ITV programme Blind Date.
On moving to Yorkshire, Walter quickly joined the Burley Millennium Theatre Group, where he acted and directed in various plays before going to the Ilkley Playhouse.
There he volunteered, acted and directed, as well as being the artistic director for several years. He also worked as a freelance writer for publications including The Daily Telegraph, Yorkshire Post and Yorkshire Ridings Magazine and the Ilkley Gazette.
Walter taught English at Gateways School in Harewood for a time and gave home tutoring for pupils in the area. He published two books with close friend and Yorkshire Post colleague Yvette Huddleston – A Day in a Dale – based on features the two had written for the paper and The Barefoot Shepherdess and Women of the Dales. Walter, who was a keen amateur photographer, also provided the images for both books.
A member of Otley Golf Club, Walter also played squash and he took part in fundraising cycling challenges.
Niccola said her husband's work at the Playhouse, where he had been in the post of creative development manager for two years this summer, had seen the venue become more accessible to the whole of the Ilkley community – with activities like daytime classes, the literature festival, comedy nights, classical music and jazz concerts and cinema screenings and making the most of what the venue had to offer.
Graham Smith, the chairman of the board of trustees at the Playhouse said: "Walter's loss is immeasurable. He was a great actor and a very creative man. The Playhouse was his main interest in life outside of his family and he will be hugely missed by everyone."
Niccola also paid tribute to the emergency service workers who attended when Walter fell ill at home. She said members of the police, the NHS and the Yorkshire Air Ambulance had been quick to arrive at the scene and had been kind and professional throughout.
She said arrangements for the funeral were still being made.
Yvette Huddleston, who worked at the Playhouse with Walter, added: "Walter really was the best friend a person could hope to have. He was kind, generous, funny, intelligent, interesting and interested.
"I first met him through Ilkley Playhouse where we were both actors and directors and we soon became friends, partly through our shared interest in theatre but also because we were both writers. Out of our close friendship grew a very harmonious and productive working relationship.
We collaborated on many projects – we wrote three stage plays together, the most recent of which was a new adaptation of Wuthering Heights (which we also co-directed) staged at Ilkley Playhouse last summer before transferring to the Minack Theatre in Cornwall where it played to sold out audiences for every performance.
"We wrote many features together for various publications and acted and directed together many times. Walter loved his adopted home of Yorkshire and particularly the Dales. In 2006 he suggested that we do a series of features for the Yorkshire Post Magazine called A Day in a Dale. Our research for those pieces – which involved us driving out to spend a day in a dale – provided some of the happiest moments of my working life. The pieces formed the basis of our book published in 2011. We were planning other creative projects together.
"Walter was a writer through and through – he loved words and used them beautifully in his journalism, playwriting, poetry and short stories. Walter always had time for people – he inspired and encouraged many through his work as a teacher and theatre practitioner.
"He was rightly held in great affection by everyone who got to know him. I, like so many others, will miss him enormously."

HOUSTON - Two men were arrested Tuesday after they were caught trying to break into a southeast Houston apartment, according to authorities.
Houston police said a resident called them after he saw two men breaking into a neighbor's apartment in the 8700 block of Broadway around 7:30 a.m.
The Broadway Square Complex has its own Houston Police Department storefront, and that location may have contributed to the officers' fast response.
Police said the suspects scattered when they arrived. The officers said they quickly caught one suspect before he could get off the property.
The other suspect ran to the back fence and headed into a subdivision east of the apartment complex, police said.
Officers said they found the second suspect trying to hide on the roof of a house at the intersection of Glen Valley and Wilmeardean. They brought him down and arrested him.
Both men were in jail Tuesday evening. Police said burglary charges are pending.

A WOMAN was the victim of a serious sexual assault in broad daylight as she walked along a canal towpath in Worcester.
The attack, which left the victim "very distressed", happened at about 12.35pm on Thursday (May 1) where Lansdowne Road crosses the canal at Barbourne.
The "unkempt" attacker accosted the victim, a woman in her 30s, while she was walking under the bridge. He demanded her bag, threatened her, and pushed her against a wall before carrying out the assault.
He pulled her bag off her shoulder and ran off, dumping it in a hedge about 100 metres along the towpath after stealing its contents which included a purse and mobile phone. He ran off towards the Cavalier pub.
Detective Constable Manny Sidhu said: "This was a serious sexual assault, which left the victim very distressed.
"However she has been able to provide us with a very good description of the offender, which we hope someone will recognise."
The man is described as white, aged about 22, 5ft 7ins tall and not fat but with a beer belly.
He was clean-shaven, with flushed red cheeks and a yellowy complexion, distinctive discoloured teeth with black cavities, and overall an unkempt look. He spoke with a Birmingham or Black Country accent.
He was wearing a thin grey-and-blue zip-up hoodie, matching jogging bottoms, and a white sleeveless sports vest with yellow stains on it.
His trainers were described as very white and possibly new, and he wore a white-and-blue baseball cap
The victim was unhurt apart from minor scratches to her chest, caused when he pulled the bag off her shoulder.
Police want to talk to two men walking along the towpath who may have come across the victim immediately after the incident. One was a white man with short hair carrying a green-and-white bag and the second man was wearing a dark coat and walking a dog.
DC Sidhu said: "We would also like to hear from the two men who were walking along the towpath shortly after the incident, as they may have information which could help the inquiry.
"We are aware that on Monday there was a serious sexual assault on the canal towpath at Cookley near Kidderminster, and while there is nothing concrete to link these offences, at this stage we are not been able to rule it out and we are keeping an open mind."
Anyone with information is asked to contact DC Sidhu on the non-emergency number 101 quoting incident 262-s-010514 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

It's not just an interest in the "great men" who led our history, but in the ordinary Americans who fought the battles and settled the frontier. Just look at television: The soldiers of HBO's smash hit "Band of Brothers," after all, were our parents and grandparents (or husbands or brothers — or us). The homesteaders whose tribulations are re-created in "Frontier House," a new reality show airing on PBS on April 29, were our ancestors.

Arcia celebrates birthday with big homer vs. Red Sox
Correia contributes solid outing, allowing three runs in 5 1/3 frames
BOSTON -- It was quite the way to celebrate a birthday.
Rookie Oswaldo Arcia tripled and crushed a two-run homer on his 22nd birthday to lead the Twins to a 5-3 win over the Red Sox on Thursday night at Fenway Park.
The victory gave the Twins a series win against the Red Sox to mark the second straight season the club won three out of four at Fenway Park. Minnesota also went 5-5 on its 10-game road trip through Detroit, Cleveland and Boston and improved to 16-15 on the season.
"It's great to get the 'W' and hit a home run on my birthday," Arcia said through translator and Twins outfielder Wilkin Ramirez. "I'm happy right now. I don't know how to explain it, but I'm just happy."
Arcia, who had a career-high four hits in Wednesday's 15-8 win, was at it again Thursday night. The right fielder extended his career-high hit streak to seven games with his first career triple off Red Sox right-hander John Lackey in the fifth inning and came around to score on an RBI double from Aaron Hicks.
"He's a fun kid to watch with the bat," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "Watching him come up here and swing the bat is a lot of fun."
Arcia crushed a two-run homer to right in his next at-bat to cap a four-run sixth inning for the Twins that was keyed by a throwing error from Lackey. Joe Mauer led off the inning with a single and Justin Morneau walked with one out before Trevor Plouffe hit into what should've been an inning-ending double play on a comebacker to Lackey.
But Lackey's throw went into center field to score Mauer and moved Morneau to third base. Ryan Doumit then hit a sacrifice fly to center field with Morneau barely beating the throw home from Shane Victorino. Arcia then made Lackey pay with a two-run homer on a first-pitch fastball for his third career homer.
"I felt great throwing the baseball," said Lackey, who gave up five runs (one earned) on six hits over seven innings with eight strikeouts. "I pitched really well. Not real complicated. I've just go to make that one play and win the game."
The offense backed right-hander Kevin Correia, who picked up his staff-leading fourth win by allowing three runs on nine hits over 5 1/3 innings.
The Red Sox opened the scoring with an RBI single from Dustin Pedroia in the third inning before adding another run in the fourth on an RBI single from Stephen Drew.
"I wasn't really in trouble, but I just gave up some two-out hits with a couple bad pitches at the wrong time," Correia said. "Against a team like that, I'll take it. They've been the hottest team in baseball pretty much."
After Minnesota rallied for four runs in the sixth, Boston scored on an RBI single from Daniel Nava with nobody out after Mike Napoli led off the frame with a double. Correia was able to get Will Middlebrooks to ground into a fielder's choice before being removed for left-hander Brian Duensing.
Duensing fared well, throwing 1 2/3 scoreless innings in relief of Correia. Jared Burton and Glen Perkins combined to preserve the victory with Perkins picking up his eighth save in as many chances. But it got dicey in the eighth, as Eduardo Escobar, who replaced Pedro Florimon at shortstop after he left with a tight right hamstring, made an error on what should've been an inning-ending double play. Burton, though, was able to get out of the inning with back-to-back strikeouts.
"Brian came in and did a super job and got some huge outs for us," Gardenhire said. "And then the guys at the end had some sticky situations, but got some big outs."
It was an impressive victory for the Twins in the final game of their 10-game road trip, as they were able to bounce back and win three straight against the Red Sox after dropping Monday's opener in 11 innings.
"It kind of shows what kind of ballclub we are," Duensing said. "We lost that first game in extras and it kind of took the wind out of our sails. But for us to come back and put up some runs and win the next three was real important and I think it shows a lot to us as a team."

Westpac does not expect conditions in the banking sector to improve any time soon, but says it is in good shape to deliver sound returns for shareholders.
Chairman Lindsay Maxsted told shareholders at Westpac's annual meeting on Thursday that operating conditions remained challenging.
However the bank did not expect conditions to be any more difficult than in recent years.
"Indeed, given the material strengthening of the balance sheet we are in excellent shape to positively respond to whatever emerges in the external environment," Mr Maxsted said.
"With all of our businesses showing good momentum, Westpac is well placed to continue delivering sound returns for shareholders."

Digging RabbitsMath brain teasers require computations to solve.
If one small rabbit can dig a warren in nine hours, a medium rabbit can dig a warren in 6 hours and a large rabbit can dig a warren in four and a half hours, how long will it take one small, one medium and one large rabbit to dig a warren if they all work together?
Answer2 hours.
In one hour, each rabbit can dig 1/9, 1/6, and 1/4.5 of a warren, respectively. To figure out how much the three of them can do in an hour, just add these up (convert to 18ths first):
2/18 + 3/18 + 4/18 = 9/18 = 1/2. Since together they can dig half of a warren per hour, it will take two hours to dig a whole warren.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo men's tennis team (9-4) dropped a narrow 5-4 decision to the No.9-ranked Columbus State Cougars (10-1), Friday afternoon from the Saint Leo Tennis Center.
The regional contest saw a regrouped Lions' lineup collect one doubles win, before Columbus rallied to take three-of-six in the singles portion, claiming the match.
The Lions' top doubles tandem of Alou Adjenak and Victor Lozier trumped the No.6 Cougars' team of Martin Shishkov and Olivier Simonet for the squads lone doubles point.
Saint Leo quickly tied the match as Adjenak and Lozier posted a pair of singles victories. Adjenak went 6-2, 6-4 over Simonet, while Lozier bounced Divljak in a three-set thriller, 6-2, 4-6, 7-5. After the Cougars jumped ahead again, Jacobo Gonzalez-Tarrio tied the match with a 7-5, 6-1 win over Oussama Zoghlami.
Unfortunately, Saint Leo was edged at the six-flight as Columbus State laid claim to the win.
Saint Leo will return to the court on Saturday, March 10, when they host Indianapolis. First serve is set for 11 a.m.

Today there was an article on this very website that recapped an interview with former WWE Tough Enough winner, Daniel Puder. One of the topics Puder discussed during the course of this interview was the incident between himself and Kurt Angle during a Tough Enough segment on an episode of Smackdown back in 2004.
Now Puder seems to be getting a lot
I have probably left a few names off, but I think I did a pretty good job and I hope you can appreciate me choosing a lot of older wrestlers who would help legitimize the WWE Hall Of Fame.
Lou Thesz
When all was said and done, Lou Thesz had six NWA World Title runs during a time when the belt wasn't passed around like a hot potato, in fact
AJ Backstage Segment
I thought that this little segment helped put over that AJ really is a "crazy chick." I'm also loving the fact that a Diva is part of one of the top storylines in WWE, in fact she might even be the best part.
Triple-Threat Elimination Match
Interesting match to start Raw and I'm most certainly
Opening Segment
I thought that this was a good start to Smackdown. I'm actually starting to like the Big Show as Heel because he seems to finally be showing some passion for what he does and his Promos have been fairly solid. Show just needs to start cendencing his Promos because he takes too much time to get his point across.

Contingent aftereffects are best exemplified by the McCollough effect. The McCollough Effect is one of a family of contingent aftereffects related to the processing of color and orientation. A contingent aftereffect differs from an afterimage or simple aftereffect (like the motion aftereffect) in that the effect only obtains with the proper stimulus. For example, the McCollough Effect is an orientation-contingent color aftereffect. One induces the aftereffect by exposure to a magenta and black vertical grating alternating with a green and black horizontal grating. After a few minutes of induction (5 or more is best), followed by a break of a few minutes, black-and-white vertical and horizontal gratings will appear colored. The verticals will look green and horizontals pink in the example given. The illusion will reverse if one rotates one's head 90°.
There are also motion-contingent color aftereffects, and other varieties of these phenomena.

"Mommy, I don't feel good," says the little voice. Those five words are tough for any parent to hear, not only because we don't want our kids to be sick, but also because we know how illness can disrupt our family life. Every child reacts differently when he or she is ill so it can be hard to determine just how poorly he or she feels.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo baseball team won its 15th game of the season as the Lions powered past visiting Warner University 8-3 in non-conference action on Tuesday night from Thomas B. Southard Stadium.
It was a game where Saint Leo (15-6) stared at just a one-run advantage after Warner (17-16) worked themselves back into the contest in the seventh inning. It was at that point that the Lions leaned on their relief pitching as they shut down the Royals for the final few frames. In total, Matthew Hewitt and Austin Buck combined for four innings of shut-down pitching to solidify the win.
The Lions set the tone early as they scored three runs in their first at-bat. Similar to their first meeting, the first six Lions reached base, with three of them eventually crossing the plate.
Saint Leo would increase their lead on an RBI fielder's choice in the fourth, and the 4-0 lead would withstand a two-spot in the fifth inning by Warner and the lone run the Royals scored in the seventh.
With the pitching staff holding the Warner offense at bay, the Lions managed to put the game out of reach with four runs in the eighth inning, with most coming with two outs on the board.
Getting the start and earning his third win of the season, Ryan Sadler (3-1) tossed five complete innings only surrendering a lone earned run. Buck earned his first save of the year when he struck out five batters in just two innings of work.
Two Lions went 2-for-4 at the plate with Chris Newcomb also knocking in two RBI. Brendan Collins also joined his teammate with a 2-for-4 and a run scored.
Warner's Johnny Groubert was responsible for all of the Royal's runs as he went 2-for-4 with all 3 RBI.
The Lions now turn their attention back to Sunshine State Conference play when they welcome Barry University to Southard Stadium for a weekend series. The Lions and Buccaneers will get things started on Friday night at 6 p.m.

Topic: If your told your unresctable....
I've never poster before and I have not gone through the formal introduction of myself or my husband David that has cholangiocarcinoma. I'm sitting in the waiting room of New York Presbyterian Hospital as Dr. Kato finishes his ex vivi resection attempt. It can't be done because the cancer has grown into his abdominal wall.
I write this today to simply state that if you or your loved one has been told that they are not resectable in the traditional surgical way please seek out an ex vivo surgeon like Dr. Kato who agreed he could do the surgery but only via ex vivo because it could not be done any other way. Today it could not be done because the cancer advanced more than the diagnostic imaging showed. My husband was diadnosed in September 2011 at The University of Chicago where we had been informed it was not resectable, we then went to Mayo and told the same. We then saw Dr. Brems who attempted a resection and could not do it but did plan on attempting again after chemo and radiation. We did the chemo and radiation. Later he decided against it. We went to Northwestern, Johns Hopkins and then my husband gave up on wanting to seek any other appointments. He agreed to have me send the records to Dr. Kato who's name I obtained from this site from Jim and Kim. It took too long doing it that way even though the result was positive in that he agreed and felt he could do it. We lost valuable time sending records by mail, then waiting for the agreement that he thought he could do the surgery. Then more lost tme for the consult and eventally the wait to get on the surgery schedule.
My advice, don't take no for an answer but once an expperienced center tells you no seek out an ex vivo surgeon.

I know how to use Google+, I need to know i want to add a image and a link on link button for do-follow.
Please need some suggestions for G+.
Thank you in advance.
Sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. Are you saying you want to use an image as the anchor for a link to another page/site?
sorry for this, i think question was not clear, Is it possible to give a link while we upload a image on G+?
simply, i just want to give the link and upload an image at a time?
As far as I know, there's no way to do that. You can upload photos, but there doesn't seem to be any way to associate text with them - whether a link or just a caption. If there is, I've yet to find it.:)
Thank you very much.
Yes you can add images and also post link in Google plus. There is a option to post link also. you can add the link there and post image.
How do you do this? I can't find any way to add text to images on Google+.
Google plus is very user friendly and it helps in boosting the page on google plus,adding multiple images on the same post is possible as well as adding link too is possible and the option is very much visible.I do it very often
Google+ has changed since the last time I logged in, and there is, indeed, now an option to add a caption to an image.
Whether it's possible to add a link here (which is what the OP asked) I don't know; I can't see any reason to want to. But as others have said, adding photos in posts is probably the easiest way to do this.
All links from google+ is nofollow and it is by default nofollow we cannot edit it.
But nofollow link count if you get shares and likes on the same.
You must use text on image... no other option is available.
I've recently used it to add a link (for a map) to a photo of what I found at a specific hiking location. Other than maps, I'd be hard pressed to come up with something else to link to a photo...since most links have their own photos anyway. I'm sure now that I have the option, I'll eventually come up with other reasons to use it & it will become annoying if they no longer offer it (just like everything else on social sites)!

Foundation Waterproofing Contractor in Tarboro NC
Foundation Waterproofing Contractor in Tarboro NC
Tarboro Dry Basement Solutions - Serving Tarboro and surrounding areas. Highly trusted for over 15 years!Call Now! (888) 312-2710
Many situations the quick fixes available to the typical property owner do not hold up with time and just cover this up cosmetically. If the issue is connected to foundation settlement, a different underpinning solution may be suggested. Should you have a problem we will be pleased to inform you. Whenever you have issues with the base of your house, you must find the situation taken care of before it becomes worse. The straightforward explanation is that the longer you ignore the problem, the more damage you'll end up having to repair.
With basement foundation repair in Tarboro NC, the earlier you cover the issue, the better. Don't permit the problem continue. If it is detected and treated early it can not only save the home owner money, but also peace of mind. A larger problem may go hidden without a suitable inspection. By patching up any cracks, you're not ultimately taking away the problem. It doesn't matter what type of issue your house is experiencing, we can supply you with the best way to solve the issue. If you want to receive your foundation issue fixed permanently, you'll first have to know precisely what's required for your distinctive problem.
Cracks can arrive in a range of shapes, sizes and directions. Foundation cracks may be caused by quite a few things, including water. Foundation and slab cracks are not just an eyesore, but they could hinder the worth of the house. If you're noticing cracks in your house's foundation, the opportunity to act is now. While concrete cracks look typical, it isn't advisable they remain ignored. Wall cracks can also lead to wet basements.
Wet basements and the associated mold growth can make your basement a health hazard for you and your family, and can rob you of an entire level of usable space in your home. Basement and foundation waterproofing experts in Tarboro NC can help fix these issues so that your family can enjoy the good health and space that you deserve.
Due to their underground location, it's no surprise that basements are naturally prone to being damp. However, the constant presence of moisture can cause major problems. The most dangerous of these is rampant mold growth, an issue that can be actively detrimental to your family's heath. That mold, along with the presence of excess moisture, can make your basement space totally uninhabitable. The good news is that getting a dry basement is well within your reach. Basement contractors can identify leaks and mold issues, clean them up, and prevent future moisture collection and mold growth.
If you have a damp basement, you probably have mold. If you notice a lot of moisture, or a moldy, musty smell in your basement, you need to get it inspected and get a mold removal company in as soon as possible. When mold is present, it can lead to or make worse debilitating health conditions such as allergies and asthma. Instead of putting up with a compromised quality of life or a moldy basement, turn to mold remediation specialists in Tarboro NC. These individuals have the expertise to remove the existing mold without spreading mold spores and will treat your basement with a professional-grade coating that will prevent future recurrences.
While mold thrives in a wet environment, mold management isn't the only reason to look into and fix basement leaks and general dampness. If your basement is damp, it's probably not a place where you want to spend much time, or even store any of your personal belongings. In essence, that means that you lose an entire level of your house; achieving a waterproof basement can, in many cases, significantly increase the usable space in your home. Since not all basements share the same structure, or even the same issues with dampness, basement contractors in Tarboro NC will assess your specific situation and will install the drainage system that is right for your home. Once that's done, you'll be able to use your basement space in whatever way you want.
If you have a wet basement there's no need to put up with it. Safeguard your family's health and make the most of your home with the help of mold removal companies and basement waterproofing services in Tarboro NC. These professionals will see to it that your mold and dampness issues are not only resolved, but also that they don't recur.

Apple Q3 2014 Fiscal Results Analysisby Brett Howse on 7/22/2014 9:20 PM EST
12 Comments
Back to Article
jjj - Tuesday, July 22, 2014 - link561 ASP is the lowest on record,calling it great is amusing.
New iphone is without a doubt launching in calendar Q3 (fiscal Q4). Apple guided up and if there was nothing new the quarter would have been pretty hard down.
There are a bunch of other things to be said here but who cares really. Reply
Brett Howse - Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - linkI reworded it, what I meant to say was revenue from the iPhone launch won't be felt much in Q4 not that it won't be launched in Q4. Reply
jjj - Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - linkThere might be quite a lot.
Last year the first weekend of sales for 5s and 5c was 9mil units,remains to be seen if this year there is a 4.7 and 5.5 inch in Q3 or just the smaller one and if the 5c gets updated. Actual features and supply matter too. There is also the inventory shift from old product to the new one(s) and the new ones have higher ASP so all in all the new product revenue will be quite a lot. Too early to say if it's going to be 6B or 9B but that's gonna be 15-20% of revenue for the quarter.(assuming 40-45B revenue -the higher range includes a few mil units of the 5.5 inch and some new ipads) Reply
NightSniper - Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - linkSome revenue numbers are wrong with the article.
"Revenue for the iPod was $442,000 which was down 40% from Q3 2013."
I think you mean $442,000,000.
"Ipod, with revenue for the quarter of $1.3 million which is up 12% over last year's numbers."
I think you $1.3 billion. Reply
Brett Howse - Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - linkYes sorry the summary data sheet has devices in thousands next to revenue in millions I obviously tripped up the columns! Reply
przemo_li - Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - linkMaturity in tablet market?
With 14% + growths industry wide?
That is not maturity. :D
Thats covering Apple poor performance (but hey, they are premium niche, so when whole industry slows down, they would feel it most, right?) Reply
xype - Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - linkYeah, that's the thing with "industry wide", as the iPhone and iPad got released at the high end and filled up that market, while there is still room on the low end. The question is whether the growth in the low end that is fuelling the overall market growth is worth the trouble.
I think it would be best to specify stuff like "mature market" with an asterisk explaining that we're talking about the market Apple competes in (high end), not some fuzzy definition of an "industry".
At the end of the day it's profits that are important anyway—if Apple can manage to grow profits or keep their profit market share stable or growing, they're performing well. If they have 0% marketshare in an area where profit-per-device is <$25 it's not poor performance, but a conscious business decision (would be a bit like saying a major league team is not performing well because they only won the major league title and no local league games at all). Reply
uhuznaa - Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - linkApple's profits are mostly important for Apple, not for the users or third parties. And Apple can only continue to live off good margins in the "premium" segment as long as enough people actually pay these prices. When slipping marketshare starts to eat into mindshare Apple will have barricaded itself onto a shrinking island. I don't think that this will happen this year or next year, but sooner or later an ecosystem that covers only 10% of the market or so will stop to be attractive enough to pull the prices that Apple needs for its margins.
Apple needs to be careful here. Of course it's fine to have only the top 10% of the market, but the question is if you can stay there then. Way back in the PC/Mac wars Apple did the same thing: Fat margins lead to plummeting sales and fewer and fewer people were willing to pay those prices for something that cut them off from where the rest of the world was going.
OK, Apple is far away from were it was back then, but the "margins are everything" mantra has its limits. Reply
xype - Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - linkWay back in the PC/Mac "wars"? Aren't those still on, and how is Apple doing there?
The thing is, unless a whole product category is replaced by another, you have to be silly like BlackBerry to really mess it up. It's not an endgame scenario, even a 10% market share would work just fine. If anything, it might make the cheap knockoff/scam app developers move on to the bigger player, which would be a good thing.
Apple didn't stop making good quality products all of a sudden, and they likely won't—and even if they to in 5-10 years, they'll have amassed a huge amount of money by then, enough so to be able to even enter new markets with a Google-level of "throw shit at the wall and see what sticks" for a long time.
Also, the mindshare is still there, no matter what linkbait articles and idiot analysts (and Samsung's Marketing Department) would like to believe. Otherwise there would be no increase in sales across most departments. As it is, the fluctuations can still be explained by normal market dynamics. Reply
smalM - Monday, July 28, 2014 - link"Way back in the PC/Mac "wars"? Aren't those still on, and how is Apple doing there?"
Their profits with Macs are higher than those of Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo with PCs combined. The PC guys failed miserably to set up a sustainable business model.
A fiscal results analysis which doesn't mention the expenses with a single world?
Brett may need a little more practise... :-) Reply
name99 - Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - linkThere is a massive artificiality in how these categories are defined, which makes obsessing about them somewhat pointless. For example, the 'iPod" category contains three very different devices
- the shuffle
- the nano
- the touch
The nano is likely to be replaced with some sort of wearable, but that's an issue for later. My point today is, suppose I rebrand the iPod Touch as the iPad nano. Now the iPad category looks completely different. Are the sales in that category up or down? We don't know because we don't know the shuffle/nano/touch split.
Thinking of the touch as the iPad nano is a whole lot more useful in terms of understanding how the product is placed, both to consumers and as engineered inside Apple. But you can't really compare that to anyone else because the "tablet" category as defined by other vendors doesn't have a nano section.
If you want to run around claiming that the sky is falling, either for Apple or specifically for the iPad, you're welcome to do so. But it seems awfully premature to do so on the eve of the quarter that will bring us, almost certainly
- a 2GHz or so A8 CPU (extrapolation from how process improvements usually play out)
- new screen sizes (certainly for phone, perhaps for iPad nano)
- at least one wearable (with who knows what implications for the desirability of iOS devices)
Perhaps (who knows) a large screen iPad Pro. Reply
RavenMoon - Tuesday, September 02, 2014 - linkQ: So, what does finance have to do with tech? The answer is nothing. What all these "tech" sites are doing is allowing the financial "analysts" to dictate what's going on in the tech world, as if money has anything to do with that, or that the "analysts" know their elbow from an orifice when it comes to tech. Guess what? It doesn't. They are just trying to make a name for themselves.
Apple did not get formed *only* to make money. I'd suppose this is true of other companies as well, but thats not the current subject. Apple does not exist just to make investors money. They make computers, software, and other devices. This point seems to be lost in the current greed rampant world.
So while we are speculating how much money they will make, or how many phones they are going to sell, blah, blah, blah, they are still considered the "most valuable company." ("Apple Now Biggest-Ever U.S. Company" - WSJ, August 20, 2014), and have a boatload of cash in he bank ($160 billion).
All this other talk? It means nothing, and it's not "tech news." They will come out with new products, iPhones, etc, and do very well with them. Reply

Last year, I posted my all-time favorite YA couples. This year, I am featuring couples from young adult novels that I have read in the past twelve months. I am counting sequels, so some of my all-time faves will end up on this list.
This post contains spoilers about romantic pairings and possible romantic pairings, so stop reading if you don't want to be spoiled.
Anna and Etienne from Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
Anna and Etienne are friends first, and they fall for each other during a school year in Paris. Technically, the book came out before last February, but they appear in the companion novel Lola and the Boy Next Door (further down the list).
Clary and Jace from City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare
Through three previous angst-filled books, Clary and Jace seemed ready to have a relationship. Although there is further angst in this book, they still manage to look out for each other.
Evie and Lend in Supernaturally by Kiersten White
Evie and Lend met in Paranormalcy, and in this sequel, they try to deal with the fact that he is immortal but she is not.
Hadley and Oliver from The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith
Hadley and Oliver meet at the airport before flying to London. During the long plane ride, they get to know each other before parting at Heathrow.
Hazel and Augusts in The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Hazel and Augustus meet in a support group for teens with cancer. Reluctant to form a relationship when she knows she is terminal, Hazel grows attached to Augustus anyway. A tearjerker.
Kat and Hale from Uncommon Criminals by Ally Carter

It's not often a Microsoft product flies under the radar, but SkyDrive tends not to enjoy the same brand recognition as the Dropboxes and iClouds of the world--at least not yet. That could change with the full release of Windows 8, which promises tighter SkyDrive integration with Metro apps and on the traditional desktop via Internet Explorer. Check out Microsoft's comparison chart and it's clear who the company is going for: the personal
cloud market, which poses some significant considerations for businesses. Exhibit A: SkyDrive offers 7 GB free, which bests each of its major competitors by at least 2 GB.

As much as I love entertaining, I find it just a wee bit difficult to commit hours to my kitchen when everyone is outside enjoying summer. I want to heed the call of the margarita, of the ribs, of just about anything that happens outside during those warm summer evenings filled with great food and even better company. Who can blame me?
And yet I can't just open a package and call it a day. That just wouldn't be me. I'm always on the search for something special, an act that takes the everyday and elevates it slightly. When I found myself with extra peaches that wouldn't have lasted another day I put my thinking cap on and got to work. When fruit is this ripe, juicy and fragrant there's not much you need to do. Heck, there's not much you can do other than slice it and serve over your favorite ice cream. And yet the thought of bowl + scoop + fruit didn't excite me as much as it normally does. Enter the terrine.
Take your favorite ice cream. In this case it was vanilla and peach. Layer it in a loaf pan, freeze it, top with sautéed peaches that have been slightly spiked with a tiny pinch of cardamom and slice to serve. Elegant, simple, and much easier than turning those peaches into a pie. Not that I don't love pie, it's just, well, margaritas are calling.
Matt's Ice Cream Terrine with Sautéed Peaches
For the Terrine:
4 cups of vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
2 cups of peach ice cream, slightly softened
For the Peaches:
3 large ripe peaches, peeled and cut into eighths
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
a pinch of Cardamom and a pinch of salt
Terrine: Line a small loaf pan with plastic wrap. Scoop 2 cups vanilla ice cream into the bottom and smooth to form a layer. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Repeat with the peach ice cream followed by the remaining vanilla ice cream, freezing 30 minutes between layers. Once complete, freeze for a minimum of 4 hours to overnight.
Peaches: Melt butter in a skillet or sauté pan over medium high heat. Add sugar, peaches, a pinch of cardamom and salt. Sauté 3 to 5 minutes until soft and coated. To serve, remove terrine from freezer, submerge in warm water to release it, turn out on a serving platter and top with the peach mixture. Slice and serve.

Open Thread Thursday: Who needs managers, anyway? | Opensource.com
Open Thread Thursday: Who needs managers, anyway?
17 Feb 2010 Jonathan Opp Feed
8 comments
Gary Hamel, one of the world's leading business thinkers, has said that open source is one of the greatest management innovations of the 21st century.
In his outstanding book The Future of Management, Hamel offered this tongue-in-cheek remark:
"A few years back, who would have dared believe that it would one day be possible to develop complex software with a community of volunteers and virtually no managers? Seems that the hackers who invented the open source process were simply too dumb to know that you can't manage without managers."
What do you think? Some might argue this isn't sustainable in the real world. Do you agree? And how could you make it work?

OSS Watch have just published 3 introductory documents about the important topic of governance models for open source projects. We also provided templates for projects to use with minimum fuss. Management without managers?
We are also developing our support for open innovation in software.

Just because somebody does or doesn't have a title, or the official position of "manager" doesn't mean that a personallity hasn't come forward (conciously or subconciously) to take that role? It could be one person or actually a collection of people filling in different aspects of the role.
This just sounds like the perpetuation of seeing open source as an unruly mob of adolescent basement dwelling techno-rebels. Open source has grown up a lot in the past few years and while that image still fits some projects it is not an accurate picture.

The point is OSS project organization is (generally) emergent. People emerge to do the work by simply doing it. If they are helpful, other people begin to trust them. In a healthy project, this trust eventually results in explicit authority and responsibilities. This is called leadership.
In traditional management structures, authority is granted from the top down regardless of any existing trust or respect. This is what most people would call a manager. Managers may also be leaders, but this is depressingly rare.
Given the nature of authority in OSS projects, and the role of the traditional manager, it is unsurprising that these projects generally don't have managers, but they do have leaders.

What I think the open source movement has in spades that the typical corporate environment often lacks (or certainly doesn't cultivate well) is leadership. I think there is a big difference between a leadership culture and a management culture.
In most corporations, management = status = power. The people who have the most people working for them have the loudest voices in the direction of the organization.
In many open source projects, the people who 1) have good ideas or 2) do stuff, have the status and power. And the people who have good ideas and do stuff tend to have lots of folks start to follow them.
Management becomes a side effect of leadership, rather than the other way around.
In many businesses there are people in management positions who are also put in leadership positions by default, not because they have ideas or do stuff, but because they have a lot of people working for them.
In fact many of these folks neither have ideas nor do stuff. It is sad. It is bureaucracy. And it is damage that the OSS movement has done a pretty good job of routing around, in my opinion.

Sometimes it is the Entrepenuer spirit (or leadership) that gets people into these positions, but that spirit may not translate into good Management skills.

Open Source projects which do not have strong leadership fail.
Commercial projects which do not have strong leadership fail.
I've been in both situations -- Open Source and commercial -- and software development is software development, in the end. Any successful software development project of any scale other than a one-off one-person utility has some sort of leadership hierarchy where various people are in charge of various parts of the project and where there's a mechanism to insure that only high-quality code that complies with the general architectural vision of the project makes it into the project. Projects which do not develop this sort of leadership hierarchy fail -- they devolve into squabbles, or their architecture degenerates into such a mess that the project can't be successfully completed without a total re-write from scratch and a reboot. And if the quality of the people who make it into positions of being in charge is low, the project fails too, because the code base turns into a mess of buffer overflows, memory leaks, and unreadable/unfixable code.
Whether you call these people "managers", "gatekeepers", "leaders", whatever, software development is software development and leadership is leadership. If you have good leadership, your project succeeds. If you don't, it fails, or is so late to market and such a low-performing mess that you might as well don't bother. That's how it's always been, whether Open Source or commercial is irrelevant. The only real difference is that Open Source contributors won't put up with pure BS as is typical in huge corporations. But that sort of BS is not typical in the small startup environment either, which shares a lot in common with Open Source.

The Australian dollar has shot up to fresh four-year peaks on the yen and held ground against its US counterpart, while bond prices fell to their lowest since May as major support levels finally gave way.
The Aussie was at 96.63 yen in late trade after earlier flying to 96.78 yen, its strongest levels since August 2008. It has gained more than 17 per cent since November on the belief that reflation in Japan would require a much weaker yen.
Against its US counterpart, the Aussie rose to $US1.0425, from $US1.0404 early, having recovered from a low of $US1.0362 hit on Friday.
Against the euro, the dollar stabilised at 76.5 euro cents, up from 76.22 earlier in the day and off a reent low of 75.81 euro cents.
The Aussie was underpinned by stronger Asian bourses and rising commodity prices after solid manufacturing data from the United States, Europe and China late last week.
The spot price of iron ore, Australia's top export earner, climbed to $US153.20 a ton to be up 76 per cent from last year's lows.
"While the AUD is strong and will continue to weigh on domestic demand indicators... global factors suggest AUD should remain buoyant," summarises Greg Gibbs, a strategist at Royal Bank of Scotland in Singapore.
This explained why the Australian dollar has been resilient to a run of surprisingly weak data including a fall of 4.4 per cent in building approvals and a continued drop in job ads.
Other data out on Monday included a private gauge of Australian inflation which showed price pressures were restrained in the first month of the year, suggesting there was still scope to cut interest rates further.
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) holds its monthly policy meeting on Tuesday but markets imply less than a one-in-five probability of an easing to a record low 2.75 per cent.
A Reuters poll of 23 analysts found all but one expected an unchanged outcome this month, though many saw a chance of further easing as the year progressed.
Australian government bond futures plumbed nine-month lows, tracking a fall in US Treasuries. The three-year contract dived to 97.03, its weakest since May, having pierced heavy support around 97.10.

The online exchange for health insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) had a litany of problems on day one (Oct. 1): extreme slowness, broken pull-down menus, and information on applications being deleted. The site's performance improved throughout November and December, but only slightly. In the coming months, HealthCare.gov will improve, but such a flawed rollout at a time of unprecedented technology innovation is a stain on President Obama's second term and a letdown we won't soon forget.

New York City -- Nordstrom is taking its vaunted customer service to the next level: The company will roll out mobile checkout devices to its stores nationwide by the start of its anniversary sale in July, Nordstrom president Blake Nordstrom told shareholders Wednesday at the company's annual meeting in Seattle. The retailer, which has tried a variety of different devices, is currently testing the iPod Touch in its downtown Seattle and Bellevue Square stores.
Nordstrom sales associates will use the Internet-connected devices to search for merchandise and complete credit-card transactions. Approximately 5,000 mobile checkout devices will be rolled out to the stores.
In other news, Nordstrom hinted that the company is looking to improve its already fast-growing e-commerce business, according to the Seattle Times. He noted that Nordstrom has more than $1 billion in cash and can invest in new technology.
"We're not trying to be Amazon, but I think there are learnings there," he said, and added that he hopes 2011 will be the year Nordstrom "got behind what it took to be best of class online."
Nordstrom is stepping up its efforts to expand beyond the United States, the report said, and is specifically looking in Canada.

HOUSTON - Tropical Storm Debby is a post-tropical cyclone about 24 hours after making landfall in Florida.
As of 4 p.m. CST Wednesday, Debby was at 29.5 North and 79.3 West, or about 180 miles east of St. Augustine, Fla.. It was moving east at 13 mph and had maximum sustained winds of 40 mph with higher gusts.
The National Hurricane Center said that Debby has lost its tropical characteristics and had a poorly-defined center, so it was re-classified as a post-tropical cyclone.
Forecasters said the post-tropical cyclone was expected to travel east with a turn toward the east-northeast and increase in forward speed over the next couple of days.
Debby made landfall near Steinhatchee, Fla. on Tuesday afternoon. It became less organized as it reached the east coast of north-central Florida.
Debby was expected to produce total rain accumulations of 10 to 20 inches across much of northern and central Florida, with isolated maximum amounts of 25 inches possible. Rain from Debby was diminishing on Wednesday.

A MAN who knocked out his partner's dental plate told her it was all her fault, magistrates heard.
Shaun Maher, 28, became aggressive after victim Lisa Ormerod returned to the family home at 1am on April 29, the Burnley court was told.
He asked her to make him some food and she had refused so he pushed her against a wall and hit her, magistrates heard.
Maher, of Milton Road, Colne, admitted assault and was bailed until June 11 for a pre-sentence report. He pleaded guilty on the basis he intended to strike the wall, but missed and hit the victim.
Tracy Yates, prosecuting, said the pair were in a 'volatile' relationship for 20 months.
She had been out and Maher texted and rang her, asking her to bring him food, as he could not be bothered to walk to the top of the street to get his own.
Mrs Yates said when Ms Ormerod returned, the defendant was asleep on the sofa. When she refused to make him anything he became aggressive.
The victim started to back away but Maher pushed her against a wall.
He then struck Ms Ormerod in the face, she was knocked back with force and her dental plate flew out.
Nick Dearing, defending, said the punch went awry.

let me first introduce myself: I am 29 years old, yacht enthusiast (Luxembourg has no sea but proud of having a registration flag ) since age of 10 and an enthusiastic reader of your forum for more than 2 years.
Congratulations for all the useful information and the beautiful pictures, I've seen more pics here in this forum and read about more topics than in all the magazines I've collected!
Since I'm new here (at least in posting) my first question is about getting information. I've saved several pdf files from the superyachtsociety, but I've read that several yacht files, especially ecstasea, have been updated. I went to SYS's homepage, but no more pics from ecstasea there
can anyone send me this file?
thanks in advance and thanks for the great contributions on this forum

Print Ariat International has been providing boots since 1993.

With their expertise and with a footwear background, they realized there was a need for improved riding boots for men, women and kids.

Ariat Boots quickly became known as the most innovative and performance riding boots. They provide the same technology in men's riding boots, women's riding boots and kids riding boots. They totally redesigned the traditional outsole, arch support and last shape and took Ariat Boots to the next level in riding boot technology.

Today Ariat is the world leader in performance equestrian footwear as well as offering the most stylish western boots on the market.

ERGO Baby Carrier Organic Denim with Solid Blue Lining | ERGO Baby Carrier, Inc
This was the fourth carrier that I tried--the first three being a wrap, a pouch, and the Baby Bjorn. It is wonderful! The weight of the baby is carried on your hips rather than your shoulders, so you can carry the baby for hours. My son is a year old, and I got this at about six months. I can clean house, prepare dinner, do yard work, and shop easily. We're still working on perfecting the back carry, but I know it'll be great when we get comfortable with it. It holds up to 40 pounds, so we'll be able to use it for at least a couple more years. The only downside is that you can't face the baby outward. My son occasionally gets restless when he can't see what's going on.
