Demystified- Unbundling as a Product strategy
I have had the privilege of reading the book- Product Strategy for high-Technology Companies not too long ago and would vouch that though this book was originally written a while back and has some examples which may seem old but it sheds some of the valuable insights into high technology (including Software) product strategy. If one tries to think a bit deeper it will not be as hard to find parallels with today's IT world.
Shifting gears a bit and speaking about one of the recent interviews of Mark Zukerberg where he mentioned about the need for Facebook to create a single-purpose first-class experiences to capture the mobile user's attention. To understand what Zukerberg really means by this statement, i would really want to go back and quote a some of the stuff from one of the articles i earlier wrote for Techwell.
Facebook's monolithic design in desktops spells trouble in mobiles:
Broadly, Facebook's users can be divided into two categories—those who access it via a desktop and thosearticle,
who access it via a mobile device. Facebook more or less retains its monopoly of desktop users for meeting their social networking needs, but retaining mobile users poses a real challenge. As mentioned in an Entrepreneur
"On the phone, it's easy to hit the home button, then open a new app, like WhatsApp, Snapchat, or Instagram...Want to just see photos from friends? Go to Instagram, or Snapchat. Want to just exchange messages with friends? WhatsApp, or Snapchat work. Want to play games? Candy Crush, Angry Birds, QuizUp, or whatever you want are available."
Though Facebook is still a monolithic application, it now suddenly sees competition from relatively newer players. Facebook can easily retain its desktop user base because they use the site for social networking basics—such as sharing updates, posting pictures and videos, chatting, etc. As Zuckerberg explained, mobile users pose a different challenge. "I think on mobile, people want different things. Ease of access is so important. So is having the ability to control which things you get notifications for. And the real estate is so small."
What is Facebook thinking to solve its problems with mobile platforms ?- Emergence of unbundling as a product strategy:
One commonality between Facebook's recent high-profile acquisitions (WhatsApp and Instagram) and the popularity of other apps—such as Snapchat—suggests that these are light apps focusing on just one or two aspects of social networking. It is evident that the monolithic nature of Facebook's mobile app may not get the same level of users engaged as its desktop version. Unbundling the complexity in mobiles seems like a logical step forward for Facebook. What that means is having a much leaner feature-set on mobile platforms may work much better than having a cluttered app. So, here comes unbundling as a product strategy.
As much as the book on Product Strategy (that i mentioned earlier) spoke about "building" a product, combining unbundling with product strategy may sound like oxymoron. Its just interesting that this phenomenon is happening in the tech world around us.
Will Facebook's unbundling endeavor succeed ?
A Harvard Business Review article suggests that- "Facebook enjoys three advantages over rivals: technological capabilities, economies of scale in its infrastructure, and most importantly, network effects."
A network effect is characterized by the effect that one user of a good or service has on the value of that product to other people. When network effect is present, the value of a product or service is dependent on the number of others using it. The classic example is the telephone. The more people who own telephones, the more valuable the telephone is to each owner. This creates a positive externality because a user may purchase a telephone without intending to create value for other users, but does so in any case.
Facebook, with almost 1 billion plus user base and literally a single stop website for social networking needs have been able to create unprecedented network effects.
Now, if Facebook unbundles its apps, will it be able to retain the network effects ? Considering Facebook's approach with Instagram and WhatsApp, one peculiar thing that comes to the fore is that it has not imposed the Facebook brand on these acquisitions, which means that they have retained their own identity. It is reflective of fact that Facebook now realizes that each social media segment has its own requirements and it is best served by uncomplicated focused apps with their own brand identity. For example, teens associates Facebook more as a brand that their parents uses and associates themselves more with brands such as WhatsApp, Snapchat etc. In this scenario, as the Harvard Business Review article suggests, Facebook may let go of some of the network effects but the thing that goes in their favor is that most of these independent apps have millions of their own users causing Network effect on its own.
Is Facebook alone considering unbundling as a strategy ?
Facebook inst alone in Unbundling foray. Foresquare recently announced its decision to split its mobile app into two for simplification sake. Dropbox announced Carousel an image-focused application separate from its main app. Google has brought its document and spreadsheet editing software out of the main Google Drive app.
Facebook under Mark Zukerberg realizes that to be relevant in today's business space, they will need to disrupt themselves faster than letting their competitors take charge. Unbundling strategy just reflects this thinking.

How to manage the load of unread books ?
Sayta Nadella, the recently appointed CEO of Microsoft, mentioned these words in his first memo to employees-
Many who know me say I am also defined by my curiosity and thirst for learning. I buy more books than I can finish. I sign up for more online courses than I can complete. I fundamentally believe that if you are not learning new things, you stop doing great and useful things .
This brings forward an interesting point about how to view a pile of unread books. As one can infer from Nadella's words, these could be viewed as a sign of one's curiosity or thinking opposite, it could be viewed as a sign of procrastination too. How could one better manage unread books ?
Clarify your purpose of reading (don't do directionless reading)
"When most people think, act or communicate they do so from outside in, from WHAT to WHY. And for good reason- they go from clearest thing to the fuzziest thing"
Most clearest thing in reading is which book to read but the fuzziest part is why read the chosen book. We tend to know- what we read, even think of How we read it, but it would be a mistake not thinking about Why we read the chosen stuff. What we eventually want out of our reading efforts greatly impacts how we do it. As an example, if we choose to read for knowledge, we will take notes while reading. If its reading for pleasure, we tend to simply go with the flow. If we are reading to teach someone, we will organize the information accordingly in our minds.
Having a reading goal not only helps one remain focused but also adds accountability in the process. The reading goal should not only be closely tied to the purpose of your reading but to reduce the load of unread books it is usually worthwhile having a timebound goal. The essence of timebound goal could be understood from this quote [3] from Prakash Iyer-
If you read for just half an hour everyday, you could finish a 250-page book in just two weeks' time. That's twenty-six books in a year. A hundred books in the next four years."
If one chooses to think this way, the pile suddenly looks less cumbersome.
Don't pressurize yourself to read complete book
Once the purpose of your reading is clarified and goals established, it gives you ample direction not only on what to read but also on what to omit. Unlike what Steve Jobs did to music i.e. making it unbundled and enabling selling single songs than the entire albums, there is no such equivalent available yet for books. The books come as a complete set with all chapters. This organization may prompt readers to consume it entirely. One ought to remember that like a music album which comprises of good songs and not-so-good ones, a book usually has good chapters and not-so-good ones. So committing self to read the chapters that bring in maximum value and omitting the ones that don't may be a good way forward.
Don't let the sight of unread books overwhelm you
Unread books pile may evoke a sight of unfinished business leading to a negative feeling about something that ought to be done but is not done. It may give one a feeling of being "behind". Remember that negative thinking is a choice and so is positive thinking. Such a pile creates positive atmosphere of being surrounded by books.
The popularity of ebook readers and 1-click ordering and delivery of books purchase and delivery innovation means that one can buy and collect books with fair ease. This also means your unread book stock can get significantly higher than the physical books. The key to truncating the pile is to just start reading.
Do you agree ?

Being passionately curious
One of my tested beliefs have been that-
"If you have to
get inspired, then don't look too far- your immediate surroundings would have a
lot to seek inspiration from."
I am a great admirer of Mark Templeton, the legendary CEO of
Citrix Inc. And this admiration has a lot less
to do with the fact that he is a
CEO (which is great in itself) but it stems more from the way he conducts
himself despite being a CEO. I recently stumbled upon one of his quotes on
Twitter, which said
"A lot of people
will have facts and information. I'm looking for wisdom." and he further
adds somewhere that he looks for "scars" while hiring.
My humble understanding of what he meant by scars here is
the phases of bad judgments in one's career, something we simply prefer to call
as failures. We, being humans can't
avoid scars and can only learn from them. As one of the quote I like says-
comes through good judgment. Good judgment comes from experience. And
experience comes from bad judgment."
So we are really looking at a cycle here. There is another
trait that makes us effective not only in organization but in almost everything
we do. To understand that, let me put forward another quote from Mark Templeton-
"People who are
curious will develop themselves, They will discover things, They'll invent
So the skill that i am referring to here is Curiosity.
Moving away from quotes, and looking for inspiration around, i looked at my son
few days back. He is 4 and just passed Pre-Nursery. And as a part of his course
curriculum he was required to count till 30. I was working with him towards
that when he asked me a question, which meant- "Dad- Why does 15 comes
after 14 and not 12?". Let's not get into what i answered him. My guess is
that my answer would have been as good as most of yours. J
But the main point that i understood from this instance is
that kids are not just "innocently curious" but they are
"passionately curious". I don't remember when was the last time i
questioned the reasoning behind the sequencing of numbers or for that matter i
probably never did. I think as we grow up, our life's experiences crystallizes
our thought processes and we form our own way to understand the world. And as our
thoughts get more solidified, we tend to compartmentalize things that we know
and the ones that we don't know. And we never question things that we think we
The whole essence of curiosity is recognizing a gap in
knowledge. Coming to corporate life, where we know we have to be curious like
Mark Templeton's above quote suggested but one way to measure if we were really
passionately curious is to count how many questions we asked ourselves every
day. Was it 1, 2, 10 or none? How many answers did we seek? How many answers
that i tried to find that helped me understand the technology better? Ok. Not
only technology but also my team members better.
I have heard people say that - As we grow higher, the skills
that differentiate us are not only the hefty technical skills but taking cue
from Mark Templeton, for most part are the skills that we used to exhibit so
effortlessly as a kids (Read: curiosity). Closing in on with Satya Nadella's
recent quote that he used to describe himself during the first communication as
a Microsoft CEO
"Many who know me
say I am also defined by my curiosity and thirst for learning. I buy more books
than I can finish. I sign up for more online courses than I can complete. I
fundamentally believe that if you are not learning new things, you stop doing
great and useful things."
Since I promised that I will write about the work-place
behaviors in the coming posts, just wanted to assure that this post also
conveys some message about work-place behavior. If we start considering curiosity
as a behavior that should enable us to start thinking that this is something
that is within ourselves to change. And we can be better at curiosity by just
seeking more answers. And how do we seek more answers- by asking more
questions. First to self, then to the world around!
Note: This article is a modified version of speech i recently gave at a local event i was involved in.

Being intellectually humble is actually Being human
Glue that holds
Tendulkars and Tatas of this world together :
"Sachin Tendulkar is a humble human being", for
those of you who have been associated with India in a reasonable capacity in
the last 2 decades, this may almost sound like a cliché.
I had recently started reading a book called- "Pitch
It- Inspirational Stories From The Cricket Dressing Room To The Corporate
Boardroom" and this book's opening chapter is on humility and modesty and
the corporate leader it features is JRD Tata. It narrates a story of Sachin
Tendlukar touching the feet of his 87 years old fan in all humility saying that
he felt lucky to meet her.
No, my post is not another one in the list to praise the
retired batsman. In my eyes he still is among the #2 cricketer from India
(...and #1 in my list is not Gavaskar or Kapil) but bigger point that I am
trying to address here is largely these 2 questions-
1. Is humility the quality only for successful, rich people?
2. What would humility mean to people like us who are
neither Tendulkars or Tatas of their respective fields?
What actually is humility?
- When I Google the word "humility", the first phrase that shows up is- "the quality of having a modest or low view of one's importance."
- Wikipedia defines "humility" as seen as the act or posture of lowering oneself in relation to others, or conversely, having a clear perspective, and therefore respect, for one's place in context.
- And dictionary.com defines "humility" as "not proud or arrogant; modest: to be humble although successful.", "having a feeling of insignificance, inferiority, subservience"
These definitions are good, these are closer to my perspective
of humility but I don't agree with the part that says being humble is having
low view of one's importance. If one is humble at an expense of one's
self-esteem then that doesn't paint a right picture or rather paints a picture
of a loser. The core idea of being humble, as we have seen in the cases of
Tendulkar and Tata is just not that.
Humility in today's organizations context:
I was reading this book- "A Whole New Mind-Why Right-Brainers will Rule The Future" the
other day and came across an interesting narration of how the human mind has
evolved over the last century. It talked about some three phases that world has
passed in the recent history. In my hope to recollect these phases right-
mass-production era, Information era and conceptual era. In the mass-production
era, the worker was the central character of the game and his job mainly was to
do a set, precise job and comply with specifications. Then came information
age, in which the computers starting gaining prominence and internet started
connecting the world. The workers in this era, as against the previous era were
more left-brained aligned meaning that they were required to think logical to
make computers do the things they normally do. The conceptual age is probably
more abstract in my understanding, which is more creative, that helped brings
products more closer to user's human behavior by more using the right side of
the brain.
My idea about specifying this illustration was characterize
the evolution of the central characters in the organizations i.e. the worker in
the first era to an engineer or knowledge worker. Knowledge worker's USP lies
in the fact the she is now responsible to do more intellectually
demanding jobs. Some prefer to call such people white-collared workers but
I prefer calling them the intellectual personnel.
Intellectual personnel are driven by different degree of
motivation. With them much in demand and survival no longer in question due to
increase in wealth, they are driven a lot more by the intellectual potential of
the work content i.e. the work that is different, closer to technology,
something that is never done (by anyone) before, something that is not manual,
something they can get machines to do.
Now when we talk about humility in today's corporate world
we should remember this context. Humility in today's context would more
resemble the phrase- "Intellectual humility".
Decoding Intellectual
Recently a renowned journalist and author of the book-
"The World is Flat" Thomas Friedman interviewed an executive at
Google to find-out what it is like to get
a job at Google. Google's representative categorically told in the
interview that they don't generally prefer candidates from top colleges
because, among other valid reasons, they don't find most of these candidates to be intellectually humble. Dissecting some pieces from this article and
adding some of my thinking and experience here-
A person is intellectually humble when-
1. She is willing to create the space for others to
2. She loves to possess knowledge but refrains from boasting
about it.
3. She is willing to acknowledge that bad performance at
workplace can happen because of them (or their lack of application of skills).
4. She won't unnecessarily blame others when the bad
performance happens at the team level.
5. She won't pounce to take credit even for seemingly small
achievements or rather bigger ones too.
6. Intellectual person may show sense of responsibility and
ownership and will try to solve any problem. Showing humility here would mean
that she will be willing to step back and embrace other's better ideas.
7. She is willing to change her opinion when someone else
comes-up with a better fact or idea. And this changing of opinion is graceful (giving due credit to others) when it happens
8. She won't just be quiet when the mistakes happen or when she needs to change her opinion. Staying
quiet is often an escapist tendency in the organization but saying "Thank you"
and "Sorry" when needed certainly are characteristics of being humble.
9. She knows despite having high position, she is unconcerned
i.e. she doesn't let the position speak or influence her words.
10. She may be ambitious and having higher position but
during a conversation speak to the level of other person.
11. She doesn't use her position for undue advantages.
Intellectual humility simply
means that you don't know everything, and that you can be probably wrong.
And as often as you are right, others have as much opportunity to be right.
What more could I say?
The key intention in the workplaces dominated by knowledge
professionals should not be to show "how much I know vs others?" but
the real battle is to channelize what everyone knows towards a common
objective. To achieve this leader can really show the path, but it's up to the
intellectual personnel to embrace humility. Intellectual humility as a subject
is quite personal or rather a choice everyone makes and that makes it hard to
coach to others.
Another point is that lack of humility may not hampers
one's growth always. We have a scores of top-executives in the world who are
brash but embracing humility surely enables smart growth, one that comes with
So referring back to questions that I intended to answer in
this post, humility is more a human trait than the one to be only shown by the
successful people. Probably, rich, successful people gets lauded more than a
common man for showing humility but a humble person will know that its just fine.
After all, gaining positive press is not a key goal for a humble person but at
the end of the day, simply being human is!
Before I close this article, I wanted to express that I intend
to focus next few posts on work place behaviors and Intellectual humility was
one of the first things I thought to tackle.
Be humble. Be great!
Be humble. Be great!

Are you the CEO of your career ?
Wish you all a Happy new year! At the outset, i have to admit that i dont feel good to be away from this blog for really a long while. But good thing is i am back to contributing whatever little i can.
As its the start of new year, i intended to share some good special stuff that i learned a while earlier. I had the privilege of attending a session conducted by Mr. Ravi Venkatesan, now better know as the author of the book Conquering the Chaos: Win in India, Win Everywhere. He was earlier the Country Manager of Microsoft India.
He delivered the talk titled "You are the CEO of your life. Take charge!" and some the points that he shared are listed below-
1. Define what success means to you. Do what you love, love what you do.
2. Early on differentiate yourself through initiative, excellence and personal accountability.
3. Take big challenges and tenaciously see them through. Leave a Legacy.
4. Develop financial freedom early.
5. Seek mentor (called as God in human form). A good mentor is the one who sees something in you that you won't yourself see.
6. Cultivate self-awareness. Build on your strengths, not your weaknesses. Manage your weakness but focus on your strengths.
7. Remember: Its all about People.
8. Develop Courage.
Do what's right not what's convenient.
Take big risks and deal with failure.
Ask for forgiveness, not for permission.
Confront your fears; go outside your comfort zone. Lean into your fears.
9. Make time for important things. Family, Health, the inner journey.
10. Luck matters more than you think, so be humble and grateful.
I hope to be more regular in sharing stuff by means of this blog in 2014. If all goes as i am thinking, i intend to share some of the stuff i have been working on researching of late.
Please stay tuned!

Public presentations delivered so far...
Upcoming presentations:
Cloud forecast- Is it Rainy, humid or drought-like for Software Testers ?
"Cloud" has been a buzzword for a while now and the last
couple of years have seen the technology around Cloud evolve and mature. The
adoption of Cloud and its usage in helping simplify Software testing has
increased over the years. The various elements of Cloud like
Software-as-a-Service to really Anything-as-a-Service have increased the
potential of Cloud being used more diversely to solve some testing specific
problems and create more opportunity areas.
This presentation will deliver a pragmatic perspective of the situations
where cloud has worked beautifully for Software testing and also where it's
adoption or attempt to adoption have seen challenges. It will cover some
fundamental aspects of cloud, delve into core concepts and more prominently
cover some practical illustrations of Cloud, technology, its impact on Software
testing and more.

Demystifying Software Globalization
"Do you know
that Windows 7 is localized into 90+ languages, Windows 8 expected to be in
around 105, Apple iOS supports 34, Android 57 ?"
With the key platform companies venturing into supporting the
languages of even the little known geographies around the world, it is only
evident that the need of World ready Software is on the rise and will continue
to ascend in the time to come. The field of Software development that ensures
the Software is World ready is called as Software Globalization Engineering.
This field has seen a humungous drift from "Japanization" (when the products
were redesigned to support Japanese language) to "Simship" (meaning
simultaneously shipping the supported languages at the same time) in the
past decade or so. Software Globalization has grown from generalized field to a
more specialized one over the years with the advent of concepts such as
Unicode, Single Base Binary, Multilingual User Interface and much more.
While Software Globalization is still finding its feet as a separate
discipline in many organizations, more mature organizations have embraced it
and have reaped benefits successfully over the years. This session will
demystify Software Globalization Engineering and will cover an introduction to
several concepts related to this exciting field.

The Fish House Cape Porpoise Harbor, Kennebunkport
Cape Porpoise, Maine
What's Nearby:
Additional Location Information
Cape Porpoise is a fishing village within the town of Kennebunkport. Local lobstermen still moor their boats in the harbor and unload at the Cape Porpoise Pier. The village has escaped the touristy nature of the 'Port to a large extent. The houses are modest and there is a charming, authentic feeling. The streets are very walkable and there are lots of wonderful views along Pier Road and Langsford Road (if you get tired of the view from our dock out to the harbor islands!) Several restaurants in Cape Porpoise Square and down at the Pier are within easy walking distance of 49 Pier -- The Wayfarer and The Captain's in the square for family-style, and Nunan's Lobster House for "lobster in the rough," just outside the square. On the Pier are Pier 77 for fine dining, The Ramp for excellent pub-style fare and a take-out shack for picnic-style lobster rolls, fried clams, burgers and dogs. Also in the square are Bradbury's Market, where you can grab an early morning coffee and the paper, and Cape Porpoise Kitchen, owned by our friend Peggy, which has baked goods and all kinds of gourmet takeout for lunch and dinner (and better coffee!!)
Goose Rocks Beach (permit parking only) is a pretty 7-minute drive east on Route 9. It is one of the most beautiful beaches in Southern Maine. You will be spellbound. Further up Route 9 are Biddeford Pool and Hill's Beach – a beautiful bike ride away!
Dock Square, Kennebunkport is 5 minutes down Route 9 in the other direction. Shops, galleries, restaurants and excursions can be found in the 'Port. Just across the Kennebunk River bridge is Kennebunk's charming Lower Village. From there you can walk down to Kennebunk Beach, where turn-of-the-century "cottages" command open ocean views. A long seawall makes a brisk walk easy and safe.
Golf and tennis can be found a short drive away. The Cape Arundel Golf Course has public tee times and is famous as George Bush's home course when he's in Maine. Well maintained public tennis courts, along with a playground and basketball court, are just minutes away as well.
Cape Arundel, home to the Bush family, is an enclave of wonderful shingle-style homes. Ocean Avenue winds through this neighborhood and affords stunning views of the rocky coast and the open Atlantic. Geological curiosities such as Spouting Rock are interesting for the kids. The hilly side streets make a nice walk, especially for those interested in architecture.
Numerous marshes in the area are owned by the Rachel Carson federal conservation agency. Birdwatching is popular and Route 9 affords sweeping views across the marshes in many places throughout the Kennebunks, Wells and Biddeford. It's not uncommon to see artists set up for some plein-air work right along the road.
A well-regarded summer stock theater is located in Arundel, about 10 minutes away, and there's a very active flea market in Arundel also along with other antique shops.
South of us are Wells (known for its beaches, but Goose Rocks is your best bet) and Ogunquit, a great little town known for crowds, traffic jams, the beautiful footpath of Marginal Way, and the shops, galleries and restaurants of Perkins Cove. Ogunquit was an artists' colony in the 19th century and a there's fine little museum of American Art on Shore Road.
Local excursions include sailboat rides, charter fishing and whale watching tours. Daytrips could include a 35-minute drive to Portland's Old Port for shopping and dining, or a trip on the Casco Bay Ferries out to Portland's inhabited islands. Freeport is another 25 minutes north of Portland and is best known for L.L. Bean's flagship store. Dozens of other well-known outlets can also be found.

Castle Season 4 Episode 12
Dial M for Mayor
Air Date:
- A woman is found dead in a car used by the mayor's office. She was an author looking into an investigation involving the mayor.
- The victim, Laura Cambridge, worked as a sex phone operator where she heard a client admit to funneling money out of the Mayor's foundation and blaming it on him.
- Castle is biased over the situation, knowing that if the mayor is removed, he will be too.
- Rick receives a call from the man who helped him out previously with information on Beckett's mother's case. He tips him to listen to the information instead of looking. They discover that one of the mayor's assistants was at fault. The victim had tracked him down so he placed a call to a burner cell phone. This sent a man to get rid of the evidence and the victim as well. Before the assistant can speak about who he called, a lawyer comes in and he is shut down.
- The mysterious man lets Castle know that if the Mayor was removed, Castle wouldn't be around to stop Beckett from digging into the shooting/murder.

Vintage Ford Thunderbird Cars
The Ford Thunderbird was introduced in 1955 as a sporty, luxurious two-seat car to compete with the Chevrolet Corvette. The original designs featured either a powered soft-top convertible or a removable fiberglass roof, with restrained lines and more modest fins than most cars of the era. T-Birds, as they were often called, soon overtook Corvettes both in sales and speed. The Thunderbird's standard V8 engine was able to reach 114 mph, and could reach 60 mph in under 10 seconds.
While not a true sports car, the T-Bird caught on as a personal luxury vehicle, despite its limiting soft springs and low-geared steering. The Thunderbird's 1957 update added clunkier rear fins, and in 1958 the entire vehicle was altered for a boxier, low-riding four-seat design. After 1961, the Thunderbird took on a sleek, bullet-shaped look, although the model was actually much larger than '50s T-Birds.
In the 1970s, Ford incorporated larger engines, power side windows, and air-conditioning to the standard Thunderbird models. The 1975 design became one of the first American cars to offer power disc brakes on all four wheels. Ford ultimately created 13 different generations of Thunderbirds until officially ending production of the car in 2005.

"The greatest competitor was Bob Gibson. He worked so fast out there and he always had the hood up. He always wanted to close his own deal. He never talked to you because he was battling so hard. I sure as hell don't miss batting against him, but I miss him in the game."
Pete Rose
"We worked our tails off this week. We were really disappointed in the Gibson Southern finish. So I told them at halftime tonight that we were going to need at least 17 more points to win it, and they believed it."
Tom Osborne
"Mr. Gibson is very respectful of students and student self-governance. He understands our community and knows how it works, and he really enjoys the role of teacher and mentor."
Carol Wood
"If Michelle Pfeiffer gave Mel Gibson a vial of blood to wear around his neck in a movie you'd think it was terribly romantic, everyone would cry and they'd win awards. But in real life if someone does that they'd be considered weird."
Billy Bob Thornton
"We knew going in that this was a tough meet. I was very pleased with Scott and Gibson. We have a real young team and we have to buy into the system. If we do that, things will get better."
Andy Fecht
"Gibson had a tough field. He had a good season and we expect some good years from him to come."
"We're going to see Lake Gibson in district, region and state and we're going to see Cape Coral again in the state tournament. So we're going to have to be tough and we're going to have to develop an edge. But I think we're there and we can do that."

The Math on the T-Mobile/Apple iPhone 5 Monthly Plan
Endpoint: It's excellent marketing. It will probably hook quite a few people who love the allure of X down and monthly payments, but the real perk in this deal amounts to not being tied to an official contract. But, there's got to be fine print. You're paying for the phone one way or the other, whether you do it in a lump sum or over the course of 24 months.
T-Mobile is attempting to collect the equivalent of gravy in the wireless game Apple has dictated for years. It's interesting that Apple is allowing this to take place. The consumer gets nothing special other than a two-year contract that's really not a two-year contact.

Start your planning for the 2013 Auckland Regatta 22-24 March 2013
Mon, 19 Nov 2012
Planning for the 2013 Auckland Regatta has begun. It's time to mark the date and book the crew!
The Auckland Regatta (formerly the BMW Auckland Regatta), New Zealand's premier keelboat regatta is jointly run by the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron and Bucklands Beach Yacht Club. Entries are invited from all keelboat clubs throughout New Zealand. This prestigious regatta is now in its sixth year.
Announcing entries
We are delighted to announce the Elliot 5.9s will celebrating their 30th anniversary by hosting their national championships as part of the Auckland Regatta. A large fleet is expected to participate. We welcome back the Elliot 7s from RNZYS who have confirmed they will be onboard. The Farr 1020s and 8.5 multihulls will also do their nationals.
Pacific Keelboat Challenge
The MRX fleet will be used once again to host the Pacific Keelboat Challenge. An invitation to compete in the regatta has gone to international yacht clubs. Our Australian competitors loved this year's event, we hope to see them again in 2013!
Notice of Race
The notice of race is now on the website, well in advance of the regatta.
About our sponsors
Steinlager is back onboard as naming rights sponsor to the Steinlager Beach party. Steinlager has had a long association with yachting in New Zealand. What more could a sailor want after a days racing!
Yachting New Zealand
Big thanks to David Abercrombie from YNZ who has confirmed they will support us again in 2013. YNZ have been onboard supporting the regatta since the start.
Mount Gay

Minute Maid Park, Houston, Texas
HOUSTON -- Bud Norris had some hiccups in the six scoreless innings he pitched in Houston's three-hitter Thursday night.
During those struggles the 26-year-old pitcher thought about recent advice he's received from veteran Houston ace Brett Myers."Giving up a [hit] is not the end of the world, but making sure that you can get out of that jam and leave that guy on base is the biggest part of it," Norris said of the one-pitch-at-a-time philosophy Myers preaches to him.Norris and the Houston bullpen combined on a three-hitter, Michael Bourn singled home the only run and the Astros beat the San Diego Padres 1-0.Norris (1-1) gave up two hits and struck out seven in six innings. His sacrifice bunt in the bottom of the sixth set up Bourn's RBI hit off Dustin Moseley (0-3)."The focus was big," Houston manager Brad Mills said of his starter's outing. "Even though he threw a lot of pitches he didn't let that affect him. He knew that he had to come back and make some pitches and he did."Relievers Fernando Abad, Mark Melancon and Brandon Lyon combined to close out the win. Lyon pitched a perfect ninth for his second save.Moseley allowed seven hits in 6 2/3 innings and once again was the victim of the Padres' poor run support. San Diego's three shutouts this season have all come in his starts. The last starter to get shut out in three consecutive starts to begin a season was Detroit's Kenny Rogers in 2008, according to the Elias Sports Bureau."It's frustrating, but you go out there and do your job, and you leave the rest up to the team, and hopefully guys pull through," Moseley said. "Through the first three it hasn't happened, but it's a long year. I mean, these guys can start scoring 10 a game for me."Padres manager Bud Black isn't worried about Moseley getting too discouraged by the lack of run support."Dustin's been around long enough to know that his job is to get outs, and over the long haul the wins will come," Black said.The game was scoreless when Humberto Quintero hit a leadoff single in the sixth. Norris bunted and Bourn singled, but Moseley was able to limit the damage by getting Carlos Lee on a grounder with two on.The Padres had several chances to score and stranded seven runners.Eric Patterson reached on catcher's interference against Quintero in the eighth and stole second. With runners at the corners, Orlando Hudson hit a grounder and Patterson was thrown out at the plate.Matt Downs and Quintero hit consecutive singles with two outs in the seventh and Moseley left after walking Melancon. It was an embarrassing first major league plate appearance for Melancon -- he thought he'd struck out and began to walk away, only to quickly realize a pitch had been ball three, rather than strike three.Cory Luebke took Bourn to a full count before striking him out to end that inning."It was a close pitch and I just assumed the umpire was going to ring me up because I'm a pitcher and had never had an at-bat before," Melancon said.Melancon said it took some time to get himself together to pitch the eighth inning after his first at-bat."It was actually really difficult," he said. "I threw eight warmup pitches and every one of my warmup pitches I had no idea where the ball was going ... when the guy got back in the box I was ready to go and calmed down from the [at-bat] and being on base which was like being on Mars for me."Mills didn't hesitate to leave Melancon in to hit because he's been his most consistent reliever this season and he needed him for the eighth inning. Melancon has pitched 7 2/3 scoreless innings in eight appearances this season."He's thrown the ball well and he's the guy we wanted out there in that situation," Mills said. "It was nice to see him go back out there and get through it. There were some ugly things there that put him in a situation, but at the same time he did a good job of working through them."Abad replaced Norris to start the seventh inning but he was relieved by Melancon after giving up a single to Cameron Maybin with one out. Jason Bartlett grounded into a double play to keep the Padres scoreless entering the eighth inning.Norris gave up a pair of singles with one out in the first inning before striking out Ryan Ludwick and Nick Hundley to escape the jam. He didn't allow another baserunner until consecutive walks with two out in the third inning but he retired Ludwick for the third out.He retired nine of the last 10 batters he faced before being replaced by Abad.Game notes
Houston reliever Wilton Lopez was experiencing elbow soreness and was expected to be examined by a doctor soon. ... Astros SS Clint Barmes, on the disabled list with a broken left hand, is scheduled to have X-rays on Monday to determine how his hand is healing.

Indian diamantaires pin hopes on Marange diamonds

Diamantaires in world's biggest diamond cutting and polishing centre in Surat are looking at Zimbabwe for the required supplies of rough diamonds during the year as diamond production of mining companies like De Beers has decreased phenomenally.
Two of the largest diamond mines in the world -- Canada's Ekati and Diavik mines -- have exhausted open pit resources and now both are underground mines. The need to convert a mine from an open pit operation to an underground operation typically results in curtailed production given the geology of Kimberlite pipes -the geologic formation of the resource is shaped like a carrot -- and gets narrower at depth.
Ekati's production declined 28 per cent year-over-year in 2012 and Diavik's output is estimated to fall 17 per cent year-over-year in 2013. Three more of the world's largest mines are set to go underground over the next few years as Russia's Udachny mine is expected to be converted to an underground operation in the next two to four years and Botswana's Jwaneng and Orapa mines are expected to follow suit.
Rough diamonds achieved record prices in the summer of 2011, but have since slipped back to 2010 levels on global macroeconomic worries. However, current prices are still higher than historic levels of summer 2008, and supply is estimated to fall short of new demand over the next two decades, which could take prices back to new highs.
The rough diamond demand in India is pegged at $15 billion per annum since the last three years with the increased production following the rising demand of polished diamonds.
According to a recent report published by Zimbabwe government, the country expects diamond production from its Marange fields to double to 16.9 million carats in 2013 as the mining companies' ramp up production in the region where human rights groups have flagged concerns over rights abuses.
The Zimbabwe government through its mining firm Zimbabwe Mining Development Corporation (ZMDC) operates five joint venture mines in Marange, which produced 8 million carats in 2012 and generated $685 million in exports.
Diamond analyst Aniruddha Lidbide told TOI, "As the rough diamond production in world's leading mines are on a decline, Zimbabwe is the only hope for Indian diamantaires. It is only Surat, which has the skill to cut and polish the Zimbabwe stones."

American Idle?
Does it make anyone else sick to know that more people voted for the American Idol winner than in any presidential election. I mean more people formerd an opinion on who they want to see sing cover tunes on a cruise ship than who they'd want to see run the country. Are people really this desperate to be on TV, I mean what have all the past American Idols really done? Aside from Kelly Clarkson, nothing of merit... Maybe a fair or carnival in some southern state. This is why every other country hates us.

I'm planning to buy the SBH80 Bluetooth Headset from Sony. I saw them a while ago and I decided to give it a try and buy them. The only thing that I don't know if it supports native noise cancelation, like the headphones that were included in the package.
I think it should work since Sony uses the two microphones built in the included headphones to cancel the noise, and the SBH80 does have two microphones as well.
Does anyone know if they work as desired?

Carolina Beach Mayor electionSubmitted by Cindy (not verified) on Thu, 11/08/2007 - 12:51pm.
Votes do count and for the nearly 70% of voters who did not vote-shame on you. It will be a sad day at CB with Macon as the mayor. I believe since the votes are so close then we should have another vote without Rothrock to see who the people of CB truly want as mayor. We are a town divided trying to be a small community for people to live, work & play and for the visitors to have opportunities to enjoy the amenities. It's time to start developing for the future and to save the environment for our children which Joel Macon, Dan Wilcox will not do. If it brings more money for Macon & Wilcox then they will vote for the project without caring for the environment at all.
