Shares in HMV were down on the FTSE All Share after the retailer issued a profit warning in which it said pre-tax profit for the full year would be around £30 million.
The group said that since its last update a month ago trading conditions had "remained difficult". At the time HMV cut full year pre-tax profit expectations to around £45 million and said that it was in discussions with its lenders about possible changes to its facility agreement.
Subsequently the group has been permitted by its lenders to have all relevant financial covenant tests from the year ended 30 April 2011 to 2 July 2011.
By 08:25 shares in HMV were down 6.56 per cent on the FTSE All Share to 14.25 pence per share.

During the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, Ky., Utterback encouraged farmers to pay down debt, consider renting rather than buying and hold the line on machinery purchases. In the following video he provides more details about his recommendations. Back to news

What exactly is the FCA doing? I know what it should be doing. Its website makes it quite clear its objectives are "to make sure that financial markets work well so that consumers get a fair deal. This means ensuring that:
- The financial industry is run with integrity
- Firms provide consumers with appropriate products and services
- Consumers can trust that firms have their best interests at heart."
The last article I penned for Money Marketing was on the inconsistency between the disclosure of adviser charging rules between vertically integrated firms and the rest of the market. In brief, a vertically integrated firm is not under the same obligation as an adviser firm (which is not owned by a provider) to tell its investors how much the advice costs. To date, not a dicky bird from the FCA in response, despite extensive press coverage of concerns raised by members of the public on the issue.
Meanwhile, just after that article was published, we read FCA head of pension policy Maggie Craig had said in a speech on 24 November 2015: "I know there are differences of opinion about whether you should transact the business for an insistent client. Some advisers feel you should help them make the best of a bad situation while others disagree. Our rules don't say you should do one or the other."
She was, of course, referring to clients who wish to proceed with transfers of their pension benefits despite being advised not to do so. But if it is not the job of the FCA to intervene to help people avoid poor financial decisions then whose job is it? Are we back to self-regulation? Unlike Craig, I am speechless.
There is an element of bias in my view, given I wrote in this publication last April just how disappointed I was that the regulator had failed to give a clear steer to advisers. Let me recap on my concerns.
A client has been told by a professional, qualified adviser that the transfer of their pension benefits is not in their interests. That client can then insist that the transfer goes ahead. However, if the adviser acts for the client in that transfer they will be in danger of a Financial Ombudsman Service complaint or negligence suit if, later on, the client decides they are worse off and wishes to pursue the adviser.
Let me return to the FCA's own description of its purpose: "…to make sure that financial markets work well so that consumers get a fair deal. This means ensuring that:
- The financial industry is run with integrity
- Firms provide consumers with appropriate products and services
- Consumers can trust that firms have their best interests at heart."
How can the industry be acting with integrity when providers accept transfers that clients have been told are against their financial interests? How can firms be providing consumers with appropriate products if the advice given is that the product is inappropriate? How will consumers be able to trust any of us to have their best interests at heart?
Our concerns for these clients should be heightened by the vulnerability of people at this stage of their lives. Craig summed it up in these words in reference to secondary annuities:
"Many of the consumers in this base may well be more vulnerable than your average consumer. They are likely to be older and they are likely to be at a stage in their life where their cognitive faculties aren't what they used to be."
Admittedly, the client base is older for secondary annuities but many pension transferring clients will be vulnerable.
Personal Finance Society chief executive Keith Richards has been a lone voice in raising this issue with the FCA on behalf of advisers. He has sought clarity on how they should proceed but without success. It is time for others to join the cause: Apfa, Libertatem, the networks and nationals, as well as individual firms.
If the FCA will not take action then the industry must. If we do not tackle this and other issues, we face a future of continued suspicion from the public and pointing the finger of blame in years to come will not be the answer.

Target Tirpitz: X-Craft, Agents and Dambusters - the Epic Quest to Destroy Hitler's Mightiest WarshipBy: Patrick Bishop (author)Paperback
Only 1 in stock
DescriptionA gripping account of the epic hunt for Hitler's most terrifying battleship - the legendary Tirpitz - and the brave men who risked their lives to attack and destroy this most potent symbol of the Nazi's fearsome war machine. Tirpitz was the pride of Hitler's navy. To Churchill, she was `the Beast', a menace to Britain's supply lines and a threat to the convoys sustaining Stalin's armies. Tirpitz was said to be unsinkable, impregnable -no other target attracted so much attention. In total 36 major Allied operations were launched against her, including desperately risky missions by human torpedoes and midget submarines and near-suicidal bombing raids. Yet Tirpitz stayed afloat. It was not until November 1944 that she was finally destroyed by RAF Lancaster Bombers flown by 617 Squadron - the Dambusters - in a gruelling mission that tested the very limits of human endurance. The man who led the raid - Willie Tait - was one of the most remarkable figures of the war, flying missions almost continuously right from the start. Until now his deeds have been virtually unknown. With exclusive co-operation from Tait's family, Patrick Bishop reveals the extraordinary achievement of a man who shunned the spotlight but whose name will be renowned for generations to come. The book is a magnificent, accessibly written wartime adventure, perfect for fans of Ben Macintyre's `Agent Zigzag' or `Operation Mincemeat'.

Have a fresh and new idea? Our custom development team can bring your dreams to life. Using our proven development system, we deliver a functioning beautiful application to you that has that much needed human touch.
There is a time and a place for everything. Custom application development affords the most flexibility in developing your desired web application. It is also the most costly. Being a full service web agency, we weigh the costs of developing using an open source content management system as a framework to your site against developing the site custom "from the ground up", and will make recommendations based upon your business model, revenue streams, and whether developing a proof-of-concept site will serve your business goals better than all out development.
It is never an easy decision to build a custom application. Once you do, we will work with you from start to finish to produce the application you want, with no hidden fees or charges. There are several factors to custom application development that are crucial to a successful endeavor.
First and foremost, capturing the full scope of the project is an absolute must. To that end, when bidding on a custom application, we will meet with you to get a basic understanding of your project. We will discuss the goal of the project with our development team to come up with an estimate on the cost of the project. Once we have that ball park figure, the first step in solidifying the final costs is development of a functional specification. With that in hand, we will be able to provide a solid quote on the final costs of site development.
Our custom application development team works with several different PHP frameworks. We offer coding in:
- Zend Framework
- Kohana
- Laravel
- Symphony Framework
- Cake PHP
All of our custom development work is done in a Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP (LAMP) environment.
While our development team lays the groundwork for your new web application, our design team will work with you to produce the designs for your website. Once the designs are approved, our development and design teams will work hand in hand to deliver the project that you have requested.

Cadbury Picnic
Once again we are going to take a boat ride over to Merrie Olde England. Between Christmas gifts from my mother and my mega candy exchange with Cinabar of Foodstuff Finds, I have enough UK products to do a month's-plus of reviews. So here's just one of the many to come.
Cadbury's Picnic bar had special appeal to me because it contains my favorite underused candy additive: raisins! As popular as raisins seem to be the world over, I just don't get why they aren't used more often.
The picnic bar is a bumpy, log style bar made up of caramel, crispy cereal, raisins, and the whole thing is covered in milk chocolate.
Looking at the bar, it's rustic to the point it looks homemade. Kinda like candy hippie grandmothers might make. (I am guessing on that one, as my own grandmothers were decidedly not hippies -- although one was, I am at least 98% sure, a strega.) In any case, yeah, it's a homely bar.
Mine was oozing caramel, and that can only be a good thing. And in fact it was. The bar may not be pretty, but it has great texture. When you bite into there is both a satisfying crunch from the nuts and the crispy rice and some chew from the caramel. And the raisins are perfectly plump.
Between the peanuts and the caramel, there is a nice salty edge to the bar that works to the chocolate's advantage. I normally find Cadbury chocolate to be to sweet for my tastes, but the salt made it seem less so. It was smooth and a little grainy.
The peanuts tasted fresh and were crunchy. The puffed rice really didn't have a lot going for it in terms of flavor. If I really tried I guess, I could say it added a hint of malt -- but really it is mostly about the texture that the puffs bring. The caramel is thick and ribbony and has a very milky taste. My only complaint is that my beloved raisins are too sparse. You don't get a raisin in every bite, and that is a sad thing.
This is one of my favorite Cadbury bars yet!
Be sure to check out Jim's Chocolate Mission review here.
Gift from my mother

text: Here are just a few samples of what I included in my final submission. For those who weren't in my presentation, I'll give you a quick breakdown. Essentially my component embraced two biomimetic systems: the stomata (controlling ventilation) and eye's iris (controlling light). In the building, this component would be utilized for a light well that would occupy the large training facility. The apertures of the module would open and close depending on the temperature of the space; the warmer the space, the aperture would open to allow cross ventilation of the space. (Noted from my crit, I will be designing several light wells penetrating through various spaces. I will focus this one particular light well for ventilation in the large training facility. - Instead of both light and ventilation... As it seems to contradict itself at times - The other main light well will be located within the design studio. This one aims to control the lighting within the space for the designers.

Dilly Beans Pink and Orange
This week at the Dilly Beans Challenge Blog we have a retro color combo; pink and orange. My room as a teen rocked these colors (along with a few more) and I'm still loving it. I colored the adorable #414 Jenna Framed with a combo of very intense Copics.
I did a bit of my own doodling in her hair with a Memento pen to add to her curls and outlined them with an even brighter fushia. I then decided to soften the intensity a bit with a white mat punched with the large MS Wild flowers punch around the page.
I always print my digis at least twice so I can fussy cut and pop portions of the image as I did here or at least have a spare if I mess up. LOL The finishing touches were an embossed mat, dotty ribbon and Alpha Beads (so lucky all the letters came in orange). For more inspiration, please visit the Dilly Beans Challenge Blog and why not join in our groovy challenge this week.

This is a bit of a hit and run post this a.m. Am scheduled to do my volunteer work at the Oakville Municipal Greenhouse and wanted to put something up before I left.
The sun came out briefly yesterday. Close to freezing in temperature, warmer than it's been for a week or so. I was delighted to find all these little holes throughout the snow where plants have started to grow. I began to wonder - do plants have special powers to melt snow?
Here's my earliest daff poking up through:
The Hellebore 'Ivory Prince' once again revealed:
The Carex - all but muskingumensis - are looking naked and green:
C. 'Ice Dance' - doing just as its name suggests:
This is one I've nicknamed C. Donald Trump - does this look like a lady holding a baby to you?
This Epimedium looked fine all winter. Over the next few weeks, I'll get out and cut it down. It has really pretty orange/peach flowers. I it got at the RBG many years ago and see that Garden Import are selling it - E. 'Orangekonigin' this year. It seems to have better melting abilities than the poor Hellebore to the right under the snow.
This nail polish colour is My Chihauhau Bites. The pretty little seed head is Nicandra.
Notice nice flat plant crown - no snow - what's happening?
I discovered, that not only do plants have the ability of poking through the snow, so do tennis balls.
So is it reflected light, the magic of plants, or a little of both perhaps?
Perhaps my first robin of the season knows the answer to this little mystery. When he comes a little closer, I'll ask.

I thought so.
Since today is such a special occasion (one definitely to be celebrated!), I thought I would re-introduce my homemade chocolate ice cream to you. Have I mentioned yet that this requires no ice cream maker??? My sweet friend Heidi is the one who got me started on this ice cream craze, and since I made it the first time, my husband won't let the freezer be without it. In other words, he doesn't want there to be a night that he is craving it, and alas, the freezer is empty! That would just be unacceptable! Because of this, I have made this ice cream quite a few times, and it is safe to say it is a winner in this household!
I wanted to spruce the ice cream up just a little bit by throwing in some homemade Rocky Road Cookies this time, because, let's be honest here; everyone loves a little cookie crunch in their ice cream. Or is that just me? I don't know. Tell me if I'm not the only crazy one here okay? Don't tell me if I am. Thank you.
These two recipes are such simple ones, and really very quick to make. I made both of these in one day, and even got the pictures the same day! That's how fast the ice cream freezes (well at least the outsides). I am telling you guys, if you haven't made this ice cream before, go out and buy the ingredients and make this today! It's the perfect occasion, remember???
Instagram today. PS, if you want to find me there, I am @carlasconfections. I hope it got you interested and wanting to check the post out today :) So I want you to go out today, and celebrate this food holiday by getting the ingredients to make the easy homemade chocolate ice cream, and top it off with your favorite cookie, or if you're feeling ambitious, make my rocky road cookies!
But most of all, Happy Chocolate Ice Cream Day everyone!!!!

text: May 2 (Bloomberg) -- Dow Jones & Co. shareholders say Rupert Murdoch's $5 billion takeover bid will spark an auction of the 125-year-old newspaper publisher. ``We're in the first inning,'' said Lawrence J. Haverty Jr., associate portfolio manager at Gamco Investors Inc. in Rye, New York. Gamco had 825,000 Dow Jones shares as of December. ``Dow Jones is a fish in the pond, and there are sharks swimming around.'' Murdoch's News Corp. yesterday offered $60 a share for Dow Jones, owner of the Wall Street Journal, Barron's and Dow Jones Newswires. The bid, 65 percent above the previous day's close, was rejected by Bancroft family members who control more than 50 percent of the voting power at the New York-based publisher. News Corp. may have opened the door for other bidders, including General Electric Co., owner of the CNBC news network, Haverty said. Washington Post Co., Gannett Co. and even Google Inc. may be interested, said Michael Chren, managing director of Allegiant Asset Management Co. in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Reuters Group Plc, the world's largest publicly traded provider of financial data, would be interested in some Dow Jones assets, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing a person familiar with the matter. ``This is a trophy,'' said fund manager Michael Price, whose MFP Investors LLC in Short Hills, New Jersey, manages about $2 billion and owned 351,000 Dow Jones shares as of Dec. 31. ``This could be a $100 deal.'' `Big, Generous' Dow Jones shares fell 20 cents to $56 at 4 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading, after surging 55 percent yesterday. Class A shares of New York-based News Corp., owner of Fox News, Fox Television and Twentieth Century Fox, rose 14 cents to $21.59. GE, based in Fairfield, Connecticut, isn't interested in buying Dow Jones, Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Immelt said yesterday in a brief interview in Boston. Washington Post Chief Financial Officer John Morse wouldn't comment. Jon Murchinson, spokesman for Mountain View, California-based Google, declined to comment, as did Tara Connell, spokeswoman for McLean, Virginia-based Gannett. ``This is a big, generous offer,'' Murdoch, 76, said in an interview on his Fox News Channel yesterday. The bid is too high for private-equity buyers, he said. Family Decision Murdoch, who described the Bancrofts as ``great guardians'' of the Wall Street Journal, said he planned to meet with the family within weeks. Bancroft family members will dictate any sale. They control about 64 percent of the voting power through Class A and Class B shares, while owning about 25 percent of the company, and indicated a majority opposes Murdoch. Family members ``will vote shares constituting slightly more than 50 percent of the outstanding voting power of Dow Jones'' against Murdoch's bid, Dow Jones said yesterday in a statement. That's at least 78 percent of the voting power that is in the hands of the family, which has controlled the newspaper since 1902. The statement indicated some family members are willing to sell, a division that means a transaction remains possible, said Brendan Buckley, an analyst at Fitch Ratings in New York. ``They're very fragmented,'' Buckley said. ``I definitely do believe that they're going to weigh every bid very seriously.'' Bancroft Stake News Corp.'s bid values the Bancroft family's stake at about $1.23 billion. Christopher Bancroft and cousins Elizabeth Steele and Leslie Hill, a retired airline pilot, are on the board. Bancroft and Steele didn't return calls seeking comment. Bloomberg LP may also be interested, said Peter Kreisky, president of Kreisky Media Consultancy in New York. ``We haven't made a bid and we don't plan to,'' said Judith Czelusniak, a spokeswoman for New York-based Bloomberg LP, owner of Bloomberg News. Bloomberg competes with Dow Jones in providing financial news and information. Murdoch's offer represents about 17 times Dow Jones's projected 2007 profit, based on estimates by Prudential Equity Group analyst Steven Barlow in New York. Newspapers have been selling at 10 times to 11 times earnings, Barlow said. Sam Zell's proposed acquisition of Chicago-based Tribune Co. was at 10 times projected 2007 earnings. `So Attractive' ``There are a lot of entities that would like to own Dow Jones, the question is at what price,'' said Allegiant Asset's Chren, whose firm owns about 750,000 shares. ``It's pretty clear the board doesn't want to sell to Murdoch. Their problem is that Murdoch's bid is so attractive from a valuation perspective that it will be difficult for anyone else to pay $60 a share.'' Murdoch has long coveted Dow Jones, whose Wall Street Journal is the second-biggest selling newspaper in the U.S. behind Gannett's USA Today. Murdoch yesterday described the Journal as ``the greatest newspaper in America.'' Dow Jones's business media assets would dovetail with News Corp.'s Fox Business News channel, which is scheduled to start broadcasting later this year. News Corp. also publishes 170 newspapers including The Times of London and the New York Post. Dow Jones Chief Executive Officer Richard Zannino has been expanding the company beyond newspapers to overcome a decline in advertising revenue. He said last month that Dow Jones plans to increase the share of revenue it generates online to 50 percent of the total by 2009 from 30 percent. In December, Dow Jones bought out the 50 percent stake in Factiva held by Reuters Group Plc, gaining full ownership of the online news database. Dow Jones also owns the online financial Web site MarketWatch. By comparison, about 10 percent of New York Times Co. revenue comes from non-newspaper assets. ``The Journal and MarketWatch are great and undervalued properties,'' Chren said. Zannino's Role Under Zannino, who took over in February 2006, Dow Jones began publishing a weekend edition of the Journal, started selling advertisements on the newspaper's front page and narrowed the width of the publication to save more than $20 million this year. On April 17, Dow Jones posted first-quarter profit that fell less than analysts' estimated, sending the shares to their biggest gain this year. ``It's been a very impressive turnaround at Dow Jones,'' said Bear Stearns analyst Alexia Quadrani, who has a ``market underweight'' rating on the shares and forecasts revenue will grow 17 percent this year. The Bancrofts risk investor ire by rejecting Murdoch's offer in favor of family stewardship, shareholders said. The family ``legally can say no,'' said Jean-Marie Eveillard, portfolio manager at First Eagle Global Fund, which manages assets of $21 billion including almost 1.7 million Dow Jones Class B shares. ``Although the furor in the media and among investors would be quite something to behold.'' http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601204&refer=&sid=aWxkmN.FwRpg

Dixon's arrest subsequently went viral when video footage of her encounter with police hit the net.
Initial reports claimed that Erica was arrested for disorderly conduct, however Dixon has spoken out about the incident since being released and claims that she was not acting inappropriately.
In fact, Erica says that it was the cops who were harassing HER prior to the arrest.

by Dr. Frank Sommers
Clearly sex is a powerful inborn impulse in every human being. The drive is innate as we say, but its practise is learned.
Where is one to learn how to behave sexually? In our society, it is common for millions to learn from the media: television and movies, magazines, books and lately music videos, and of course the omnipresent sexually explicit videos which are produced in the thousands by the porn industry.
I see many people in my practice whose chief source of sex education was from watching porn videos. This seems to be a problem especially for guys coming of age, who had their exposure to sex only from the explicit satellite or cable television channels or from videos rented from adult video stores. When you carry this kind of picture in your head of well-hung studs and often pneumatically enhanced women going at it with wild abandon for what seems like hours on end, it can create highly unreasonable expectations in yourself about what healthy adult sexual behavior is all about.
Of course you're not entirely at fault. Because our culture, despite appearances, appears to be, in fact, sex negative, there are very few alternative sources of valid models for sexual behavior in a mature love relationship.
To help provide some balance, I have over the years produced a number of sex education videos (The Great Sex Video Series), which, while explicit, do demonstrate the kinds of love making which I think provide a healthy picture for mature adults. Fortunately, my videos had been very well received, both professionally, and by the general public, in many countries around the world. Interestingly, we do get many requests from countries where fundamental Islamic rulers and governments prevail.
In light of the tragic events of 9/11/01 in New York City, the horrific tragedy that has seared civilized humanity to its core, I think it's worth reflecting on the way sexuality is approached or dealt with in some of these fundamentalist societies.
The nature of my practice is highly multicultural since our city attracts people from all over the world coming to seek a better life. Through intensive review of the life stories of many of these men and women I have come to appreciate the enormous barriers that many young people from these cultures have to overcome in their growing-up years, as they're trying to reach adulthood.
A man called Ahmed illustrates this point. He was 33 years old when I first saw him having recently arrived from a Middle Eastern country where his wife and two children still resided. He was most anxious to obtain a good education about sex in general, and hoped to find a solution to his problem of premature ejaculation. He realized that something was not right, since his wife who came from an even more religious Muslim family than himself, and thus would not ever complain, he could tell that she was less than happy with their intimate life.
Ahmed related that he grew up in a society where boys could never play with girls, where he went to a series of schools only for boys, and university was the first opportunity to be somewhat in the vicinity of females. On close questioning he disclosed that he received no sex education of any kind either in his home or in school. He recalls experiencing sexual feelings at around the age of 12 and beginning his secretive masturbatory 'career' about that time. He felt utterly at sea with respect to his sexual impulses, and there was no access to any meaningful literature, magazine articles or books or a trusted teacher who could help provide guidance for the powerful sexual urges that he and his age mates all were expected to quietly, secretively deal with.
As now many people in the world know, some societies go to extreme lengths to suppress women's freedoms even to a point of not allowing them to show their face in public. One hears edicts issued that women cannot wear high heels lest the noise their shoes make while walking would attract male attention and unwelcome excitation. Or is it temptation?
The sad thing about these ultra-repressive societies is that they really provide their rulers and power elites a means of controlling a fundamental human drive: sexuality. Further, it subjugates women and men with respect to a very basic human freedom: their sexual birthright.
Ahmed related that the possibility of dating during his growing up years was zero, that touching (necking, petting) experiences were totally unavailable to him, or other boys and girls, and that the only sexual outlet would be wet dreams and masturbation until the time of potential marriage.
In some of these societies marriage would be between two young people arranged by their families and often the young couple would only be able to meet a few times before the decision would be made to proceed with combining their lives and forming a new family. Even during this time of potential 'engagement', the couple would usually rarely have any opportunities to ever be alone in private to exchange physical affection. However, the couple would be expected on their wedding night to suddenly come alive sexually and have a wonderful fulfilling time.
One can wonder what such rigid, compulsive, controlling approach to a wonderful, natural human function, our gift of sexuality, does to individuals and their society. Is it any wonder if the suicidal, murderous hijackers of 9/11 went to their deaths as virgins, with the promise of 72 virgins waiting upon each of them in paradise?
My patient Ahmed, by the way, is now a changed man. He not only resolved his ejaculatory control problem in therapy but also became a much more informed, fulfilled, skillful love partner. His wife, having now joined him with the children, is a happy woman.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could share with millions of others such knowledge and skill? Is it possible, at least to wonder, if then our world might be less violent, more loving?

one of my favorite couple of characters happen to be dogs. That's right.
One is a vampire hunting dog named Doc. His story takes place in contemporary time, and his human is named Kevin. There are quite a few short stories available featuring Doc and friends.
The other dog is named Brown and her human is Elliott. Brown has a way with ghosts. Being border collies, both dogs have this thing called....
The Eye
if you've ever been stared down by a herder dog, you will know what I'm referring to.
anyway there is currently a blog tour happening that's featuring Brown. I've read all (i'm pretty sure I've read all of them) of Brown's stories, and they are very entertaining - especially if you enjoy dogs. You will recognize doggy behavior in these stories.
The entire blog tour, complete with links is listed on Campbell's website, but just in case...
Intro - June 11th @ J.A. Campbell
Part 1 - June 12th @ Sam Knight
Part 2 - June 13th @ Bea's Book Nook
Part 3 - June 14th @ Amaleen Ison
Part 4 - June 15th @ Jen Wylie
Part 5 - June 16th @ David Riley
Interview with Brown - June 17th @ Anne Michaud (can I just say, I love when people do interviews in a character's pov - shows the imagination off a bit, and is just very fun)
J.A. Campbell (aka Julie) has quite a variety of writing projects that she's finished, and is always working on new projects. On top of being a very talented writer with all kinds of characters living in her brain, she is the caretaker of cats, an intense dog named Kira (the dog is a border collie, i.e. - intense) and is a horsewoman. No, she doesn't turn into a horse at full moons, nor does she have a horse head, or a tail...she owns a horse and rides Triska as much as she can. Girl is living the life; horse, dog, cats, books in print and a sailor boyfriend who is absent enough to be in love with. (haha - that's my weird take on relationships - if you're apart regularly, you appreciate each other more.)
Keep your eyes open for J.A. Campbell - there will be more coming from her. everytime I hear about a new project, I'm happy because I KNOW it's going to be interesting and fun to read.
other works by J.A. Campbell
This is the Clanless series - a third is in the works. Teen vampire, learning to maintain and keeping her friends safe.
Serpent Queen is a steampunk style of short story - novella - that I would love to see more of. A vampire pirate who's airship is attacked.
J.A. Campbell has many other works available online as free reads or e-books. You won't find ridiculous prices for these books either - like $14.99. Nope - all of the e-books are affordable and all are great reads. Visit her website for more info on all available and upcoming projects.
The Giveaway is for Science Fiction Trails #10 - which I can assure you is a very fun mag full of short stories that run the range in styles. A great issue to have - I have a copy and love it. Click on the cover and go enter the drawing.

There's a Facebook group called "Campaign to Rename Our Moon." The group's founder wants to change the name because "the moon" is kind of boring. A friend and I talked about the idea and I was arguing in support of it, really only half seriously, but I was trying to stress the importance of applying consistent naming rules, that are scalable, so that it makes sense to more people than only the people we know or could know (and to computers), and in situations we can't conceive of. (The conversation ended with parallel universes.) Especially in text, the fact that the moon, a specific thing, shares the same word with what we could call everything else like it (other moons) really bugs me. At first I thought, we might not always have the context necessary to distinguish between "the moon" and the moon (of another planet).
It got me thinking about linked data, and the effort to include library catalogs, and how, in an environment in which things are more precisely identifiable because of its relativity to everything else, rather than in spite of it, we might not have to worry about the confusion our moon's name might cause in a future we can't see. On the Internet, linked data can provide that context all the time.
Of course, that future might not involve the Internet at all.

The Miracle of Magnesium
Research Now Links the Depletion of This Mineral to Heart Disease, Diabetes, Alzheimer's, Fatigue & Many Other Conditions
There are over 50 different health conditions that research now indicates are associated with magnesium deficiency. Here are just a few of them:
The highest concentrations of magnesium in the body are in the heart & brain, so it's little wonder that magnesium depletion leads to problems in these two organs. Perhaps you take good care of yourself & scoff at the idea that you or your loved ones could be deficient in magnesium.
- Heart disease & high blood pressure
- Alzheimer's & Parkinson's diseases
- Arthritis
- Bowel problems
- Depression & anxiety
- Diabetes
- Migraines & headaches
- Osteoporosis
- Muscle cramps or spasms
- Back pain
What's worse, is that our dietary intake of magnesium has declined significantly since 1900. The National Academy of Sciences reports that most women only obtain about 70% of the recommended daily allowance of magnesium; men average about 80%.
RDA is only the minimum level to stave off serious deficiency symptoms; well below the optimal level for good health. And unfortunately, we have many reasons for having low levels of magnesium; the rise in processed foods, magnesium-depleted soil, certain medication interactions, and fluoridated water, which renders magnesium unavailable to our bodies. Stress elevates the stress hormone adrenaline, which further reduces magnesium.
Magnesium performs 100's of functions in our bodies; however, many researchers believe its most important function is cellular energy production. The enzyme ATP, is our principal source of cellular energy. ATP must be bound to a magnesium ion in order to be active biologically. Regrettably, most people just don't have enough magnesium ions available.
Are You Tired? Get Headaches?
Because magnesium is essential to body energy production, common symptoms of magnesium depletion include: tiredness, along with headaches, migranes, insomnia, muscle pain, cramps, & spasms.
Because magnesium is essential to body energy production, common symptoms of magnesium depletion include: tiredness, along with headaches, migranes, insomnia, muscle pain, cramps, & spasms.
Sadly, the solution is not as easy as walking into your local chemist & picking up a bottle of magnesium pills. Magnesium comes in different forms, and quality is a big factor to consider. This is why I have come up with a fantastic recipe which is very rich in magnesium. Two of the foods with the highest level of naturally occuring magnesium are (I presume you've guessed by now from the photos!):
Avocados and Dark Chocolate
To boost your magnesium intake, try out this GORGEOUS Avocado and Chocolate Slice Recipe:
4 avocados, 3 tbsps of honey, 125g of dark chocolate, 1 cup of dates (100g), 5 prunes (50g), half a cup of sultanas or raisins or cranberries (50g), quarter cup of hazlenuts (50g), one cup of walnuts (100g), 4 tablespoons of coconut oil, the zest of an orange, the zest of a lemon.
Plus, to try and get the world more into avocados, I have devised this sneaky tip to get into your avocado quicker:
Enjoy! Let me know your thoughts and comments on this article and these videos.

Blood soaked survivors outside Kuwait's oldest Shia mosque the Imam Al-Sadiq Mosque in Al-Sawaber, which was bombed on June 26 (Courtesy M Mousawi)
Elham Asaad Buaras
The suicide terrorist behind an attack on a Shi'a mosque that killed 27 people and injured 227 has been identified as a Saudi national who arrived in the country just hours before he blew himself up on Friday June 26.
At least seven suspects have been detained in connection with the attack, which has been condemned by Sunni groups in Kuwait and leaders across the Middle East.
Fahad Suleiman Abdulmohsen Al-Gabbaa arrived on a flight to Kuwait International airport at dawn on the Friday.
CCTV footage has emerged of 23 year-old Al-Gabbaa walking slowly out of the car and calmly entering the Imam Al-Sadiq Mosque in Al-Sawaber, in the heart of the capital.
Wearing a traditional Kuwaiti dishdasha and matching headscarf, his robe appears to bulge at the sides from the explosives vest concealed underneath.
Al-Gabbaa, entered the prayer hall detonated explosives so powerful that it crumbled the walls and shattered car windows down the road.
Survivors mobile phone footages went viral, the gruesome images show mangled bodies of men and boys scattered across prayer mats.
Other photos show dazed, confused and blood soaked worshippers stumbling outside the mosque.
Survivors said about 2,000 people had packed the mosque for Ramadan Friday prayers when Al-Gabbaa detonated his bombs.
Authorities also said they had arrested a 25-year-old from Kuwait's Bidoon community, identified as Abdulrahman Sabah Eidan Saud, who they say drove the car that brought the bomber to the mosque.
A Kuwaiti man who housed the driver was also taken into custody. The interior ministry described him as a follower of "fundamentalist and deviant ideology".
Police have begun making arrests in connection with the bombing, which took place at one of Kuwait's oldest Shi'a mosques.
The Najd Province, a branch of Daesh, took responsibility for the attack. It issued a statement saying the bombe intentionally targeted the "temple of the rejectionists."
More than a third of Kuwait's 1.3 million citizens are believed to be Shi'a Muslims.
Kuwait has passed a law ordering mandatory DNA testing of all its citizens and foreign residents following the deadly mosque bombing.
An estimated 1.3 million citizens and 2.9 million foreigners have to submit their DNA to the Interior Ministry, which was tasked with compiling a comprehensive database of people in the country.

Interactive color cube // get your hands on some RGBThis is a fun one! It's an idea I'd had for quite a while - as just an artistic sort of thing using technology. Then, the engineering department at my school hosted an "electronic display contest" offering cash prizes for neat gadgets they could put on display to draw interest to the electrical engineering program. In addition to a couple hundred bucks cash for first place, they offered up to $100 parts reimbursement. So all in all, I won $273 for this little cube - and I finally had an excuse to build something for fun :-)
Here's a video of it in action:
The idea behind the color cube was to have RGB LEDs where each of the channels would be controlled by one of the 3-axies of an accelerometer. Using white acrylic to construct the cube, the 54 LEDs (9 on each face) were diffused into a nice glow.
And here's a quick look at how I created it.
[p color_cube_1.jpg The squares of 3/16-inch acrylic][p color_cube_2.jpg Each LED was sanded to diffuse the three colors inside][p color_cube_3.jpg The acrylic cube][p color_cube_4.jpg Nice and translucent][p color_cube_6.jpg Once face of RGB LEDs][p color_cube_5.jpg All the pins tied together][p color_cube_7.jpg A quick test fit][p color_cube_8.jpg The 4 pins of each row soldered up][p color_cube_9.jpg All the LEDs installed][p color_cube_10.jpg The inner cube folded up][p color_cube_11.jpg Each row of three soldered together][p color_cube_12.jpg The accelerometer PCB][p color_cube_13.jpg The led driver circuitry built ugly style on the other side][p color_cube_14.jpg The entire circuit][p color_cube_15.jpg Ready to be folded inside the 2-inch cube][p color_cube_16.jpg Inner cube with tabs to center it in the outer cube][p color_cube_17.jpg The cube of LEDs inside the 4-inch one][p color_cube_18.jpg A quick test before sealing it up][p color_cube_19.jpg The completed cube, and a shadow box for it in progress][p color_cube_26.jpg The finished project, ready for display][p color_cube_20.jpg Light blue][p color_cube_21.jpg Blue-ish purple][p color_cube_22.jpg Pinkish purple][p color_cube_23.jpg Yellow green][p color_cube_24.jpg Light aqua][p color_cube_25.jpg Whitish]
So there you have it! It was exciting for me to have this idea finally come to life! Please view the video and comment :-)

how can i cahnge name1 from my admin page
please any one help me
It would be nice if you can post some code! It would be easier if you have a code about this table and query so it would be easily to help you.
thanks @lastMitch for reply
the code ia have is the follwing but it delet all names and i dont want to delet all name i just want to update a specific user name emai etc mean if i want to replace name1 with name3 then how can i do this,
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
if (!$con)
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("test", $con);
if ($_POST['submit']) {
$username = $_POST['name'];
//if you want to update
mysql_query("UPDATE users SET name = '$name'");
<form method="POST">
Delete username: <input type="submit" name="submit" value="DELETE"/>
my next code which i have try but this insert value in new lion while i want to replace the name whcih i want to chnge the code is ..........
$conn= mysql_connect($servername,$username)or die(mysql_error());
$sql="insert into users (name)values('$_GET[regname]')";
$result=mysql_query($sql,$conn) or die(mysql_error());
print "
you have sucessfully email ID
";
print "go to login page";
else print "passwords doesnt match";
else print"invaild input data";
For not making mistakes I recommend you to have one EDIT page where to edit individual users ... something as website/admin/edituser/123
There make just 1 normal form which have all current values, of the user with the id 123, and changed them to whatever you want and submit them.
thanks @sv3 for reply
i have create edit page which have the above can you give me a code how to edit user profile.
tahnks in advance.
You need to use the WHERE clause to select the proper row to edit.
mysql_query("UPDATE users SET name = '$name' WHERE name='$SelectedNameForExample'");
that will update a specific name.
i know that method which you have told but i want to edit not like that becoz for this i need "where" for each user so when new user comes how my client will set this i want to change each user name and all details
Before using down code answer me, do you have user_id column at your table ?
If not you have to add userid column (int with autoincreament).
This way your users will have their unique ID (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8....);
Other option is to use username as unique id but, I don't recommend that..
Here is an example page for edituser with simple URL as WEBSITE/admin/useredit.php?userid=123 ::
session_start(); // I am not sure you need that but I get your code from above..
$user_id = (int)$_GET['userid']; // this I get from the url the userid param.
if($user_id < 1) {
header('Location: redirectpage.php'); //I think that userid should be 1 or greatter..
$conn= mysql_connect($servername,$username)or die(mysql_error());
$sql_update = sprintf("UPDATE users SET name='%s',email='%s',pass='%s' WHERE userid={$user_id}",
$update = mysql_query($sql_update,$conn) or die(mysql_error());
echo "User updated";
$sql = "SELECT * users WHERE userid={$user_id}"; //userid is the name of your columnt.. I dont know it
$result=mysql_query($sql,$conn) or die(mysql_error());
$user_data = mysql_fetch_row($result);
<form method="post" action="">
<input type="text" name="name" value="<?php echo $user_data['name']; ?>" />
<input type="text" name="email" value="<?php echo $user_data['email']; ?>" />
<input type="text" name="pass" value="<?php echo $user_data['pass']; ?>" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Save" />
Dear @sv3
yes i have id with name id but i have set as primary key not unique
so i should change that?
what should i write insted of redirectpage.php
it give the erorr the page is not redirectly properly
Please check PHP documantation for such things as how header(location) works...
(It may not work if you have ECHO something or output any html code before it)
If you have ID as primary and its autoincreament its unique too.
i have nothing before it and it works in other pages mean if i give a page excipt my edit user page mean in which page i have save this code, it give me this error otherwise if i change this page it work but i have no idea that which page i should write there,
What are you trying to do here? Do you want the user who logged in to inactivate his own account?
Dear @tscina
i want if a user login then how can he see his profile and how can he edit his profile..?
dear @sv3 it give me the follwin error now
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'users WHERE user_id=0' at line 1
You don't have any input type text that's why the code deletes everydata. Try
<form method="POST" action="">
Delete username: <input type="text" name="username" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="DELETE"/>
Then try to insert this in your php code:
$query= "DELETE * FROM yourtablename WHERE username='$username'";
But this is not advised as it's better to assign it to a primary key but just to test if it would work the way you want it to I made it basic.
dear it doing nothing
did you redirect the the page to your action script?

The Autowalas of Delhi
Yeh Delhi hai mere yaar! Wanna get the feel of Dilli 6? Grab an autorickshaw and head to the nearest monument. There are so many in Delhi. If you are near Nizamuddin, you could head to Humayun's Tomb or the Nizamuddin Dargah. If you are in South Delhi, reaching the Qutb Minar would take you the same time from almost anywhere. The first thing they ask you is 'road kekis side utarnahai'? 'which side of the road are you going to get down on?' Then depending on how far the next U-turn or the place from where they'll get the next commuter , they'll quote a fare. Rarely, will you come across someone who will be ready to put the meter down.
If you are a girl, you'll see the rear view mirror turn towards you. Get ready to be checked out throughout the ride. If you are a boy, well, depends! As you look at the interiors of the auto, you'll see weirdest of newspaper cut outs, magazines and cards. Most of them are big time movie buffs, so you'll notice pictures of all Bollywood actresses. From BipashaBasu to AishwaryaRai, everyone gets her due space. Some of them are religious and prefer postcards of gods and goddesses instead. Some would put the radio on and get ready to get your ear drums tortured amongst all the traffic noise. The screechy Himesh Reshammiya voice will make you want to meet with an accident right away.
At red lights, some might even step out with a cloth and start cleaning the windshield. Some are always humming a folk tune and suddenly you hear a spit! And you discover this one chews betel leaves. Some have the capacity to even light a bidi or a cigarette and continue the ride. You can't really blame them because smokers never take their permission before lighting smokes in their autos. But trust me, your experiences with auto walas can get way deadlier than that. Some might be over talkative (especially with girls) and would make you pull your hair out. And how can I not talk about the most irritating habit. They would park the auto at a side and attend to their girlfriend's call! (and talk at the highest pitch of their voice)
The worst is when you are getting late for that crucial meeting and the auto guy veers into the CNG gas station.`Gas toh dalni padegina", he says. It's a long queue at the station and as per the rule the autos cannot have a passenger when it's getting filled. So you have to stand outside in the scorching heat.
But at the end of the day we do owe a lot to these guys. Shelling out 600 rupees everyday for a Cab to our office just doesn't suit our pockets and the budget. The good old auto wala will do it for less than a hundred and with free air thrown in. If there is a jam, these are the only chaps on the road you can trust. Before you begin to crib looking at the huge traffic snarl in front of you they will twist and anyhow manage to find some patli gali away from the mess and take you straight to your office on time. So make the most of this ride and have a 'fresh' view of Delhi or saddi Dilli 6!

I'm happy to recommend Paul at Gold Coast Business Websites. The training was well laid out and easy to follow, even for a techno-phobe like me. I left our training with the knowledge and confidence to maintain my own website. Another aspect I am impressed with is his "after sale" assitance. He is quick to help and very approachable. So if you are looking for WordPress and Website assistance you dont need to look any further. Paul knows his stuff and your blog/ website will reflect that.
Penny Raggett
I have engaged Paul on a number of occasions, and have had him do work for our clients for a while now. Paul brings his experience in multimedia, graphic design, website design, video production, 3D animation, music composition to his clients, offering them simplistic yet affordable website solutions. He connects with clients, understands their business and their needs, and provides results that exceed the expected outcomes.

I met Paul Luxford at a networking meeting on the Gold Coast and my first impressions were that he is a gentleman in the way he talks and conducts business.
How true that turned out to be after I worked with him on various projects. He takes pride in his work and naturally the standard of his work speaks for itself. I can highly recommend his services. What an honor and pleasure to know Paul.
Dee McCarthy

"Never rewrite or edit just for the sake of change, only for improvement." –Helen Gurley Brown
|Clover wants to read. lol
Thanks to Kelly Hashway's comment, I would like to add that you can mix up this step by reading aloud and/or backwards starting with the last paragraph and working your way to the first paragraph. I've never tried this, but I've heard great things about the process, so why not give it a go?
The thing that all writers quickly learn is that editing is never over until your book is published. Don't feel daunted by that prospect though! Take it one step at a time and only when you are ready.
TIP: Change the font size and spacing of your document. The difference could help you to spot errors.

For POP Magazine's relaunch issue, French model Constance Jablonski shows off her legginess in a spread called 'The Vicarage' shot by Sean and Seng.
Showcasing sensual-but-tough attire in what seems to be a lush Garden of Eden, Constance Jablonski's 'The Vicarage' is a rare mix of fantasy, forest, and er, fish nets. For one set, her look is a fishnet leotard and sky-high pumps; for another, it's a cut-out swimsuit topped with a fur capelet. Other pics show her in a suspendered jumper—sans shirt—and high-cut swim bottoms with a fur-trimmed leather jacket.
Basically, Constance Jablonski's 'The Vicarage' combines the unique with the revealing to produce a new paradise -- Eden with an edge.

when totality occurs
On another exoplanet
would it feel the same
this interval of opacity
and concealment, dip
in temperature, surge
of power as the lights
are triggered by their
sensors, the ones that
say that it is dark out.
What other place in the
heavens can seem so
empty as the one over
which the shadow of the
moon passes. Crickets
startled, bats confused,
the voices of the birds
have been arrested. No
you can't go out, this is
not a good time, you'll
get hit by a car without
its headlamps on. The
idiots are still with us.
That's the bloody terror
of it. For what might they
do to us while the lights
are off and we're staring
at the sun, rather, staring
at the place it last was seen.
Until it comes again to
shame us with its brilliance.

As the House was preparing to debate the China trade bill on May 24, Representative Bill Archer, the Texas Republican who is chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, warned his colleagues: "This vote will be the most important vote that we cast in our congressional careers."
That overstatement was not singular. Rhetorical exaggeration was the preferred and nonpartisan style in this debate. Mr. Archer, for instance, argued that the bill would create "hundreds of thousands of new jobs and enhance our national security." That echoed a claim that President Clinton has often made.
The general public has been quite evenly divided on this question of granting China permanent normal trade relations. Polls taken this spring indicated that half of those surveyed were not in favor. There were and are powerful lobbies on both sides. Many members of the A.F.L.-C.I.O. opposed permanent status until China actually opens all its markets and stops repressing its workers. Farming interests and business companies pushed for passage of the bill because they were sure it would quickly give them expanded access to the Chinese markets.
ýt was up to the House to untie this knotty foreign policy issue, but its members also had to keep their own reelection in mind. As Representative John M. Sweeney, a Republican from upstate New York, said when explaining to a New York Times reporter why he finally decided to go with the bill, "In the end, you always vote your district."
As it turned out, the farmers and the merchants had the greater muscle. The bill giving China normal trade rights passed by a vote of 237 to 197. The debate was, however, an experience worth filing. It may prove useful in the future, because the story of trading relations with China is marked "to be continued."
The Chinese leaders very much wanted the bill to be passed, and it can be assumed that Congress takes Beijing seriously. China will soon occupy a position of enormous power in the world. Chinese cooperation is necessary for the preservation of peaceful international relations, and entry into Chinese markets may be necessary to maintain the dynamism of the U.S. economy.
For the past 20 years, the promotion of free trade has been a basic principle of U.S. foreign policy. Sometimes it has been successful and sometimes, as in Russia, it has not. In any case, this principle was not contested on the House floor in May.
Opponents of the bill were not against trading with China; they were against making China's favorable trade status permanent at this time. For the past 10 years, renewal of that status has been subject to an annual Congressional review that provided an opportunity for raising the question of Beijing's suppression of human rights. "I vote every year for trade with China," said Representative Joe Moakley, a Massachusetts Democrat, but "if we give it permanent status, then we're not going to have any leverage when we talk about human rights abuses."
The U.S. Catholic bishops share Mr. Moakley's view. In his role as chairman of the U.S. Catholic Conference's Committee on International Policy, Cardinal Bernard Law of Boston sent a letter to every member of the House on April 12. In that letter he carefully noted that during the past two years there has been in China, according to all indications, "a marked deterioration in the area of human rights and religious freedom." The letter closed with the judgment that "a decision now to forgo on a permanent basis the annual review and debate on these issues could be seen as an abandonment of U.S. concern for religious liberty and human rights."
That decision to forgo was made. The measure did, however, include an amendment providing that a 23-member commission be set up to monitor human rights in China. Beijing found passage of the bill to be "wise" but predictably denounced the amendment.
Despite firm predictions from all quarters, no one knows what the effects of the bill will be. President Clinton thinks free trade will democratize China and thereby automatically bolster freedom. Representative David Bonior, the Michigan Democrat who is both minority whip and a stern critic of the bill, says "You can't have a system of free markets where people aren't free." The President himself conceded during a speech given in the Rose Garden after the victory handed him by the May 24 vote, "We know that trade alone will not bring freedom to China or peace to the world."
That leaves the next President and the next Congress with three things to do in this connection. They must continue to monitor human rights in China. They must watch what happens in U.S.-China trade relations, and they must decide how Washington is to respond if the optimistic forecasts are not met. Passage of the trade bill amounted to a bet that the results would be good. Was it a smart bet? Neither the Americans nor the Chinese yet know. But they will find out.

New Hampshire gubernatorial nominee John Stephen is getting rock-star treatment from national Republicans.
In the next week, he has campaign events and fundraisers with 2012 potential candidates Mitt Romney, Haley Barbour, and Tim Pawlenty.
On Saturday, Romney is keynoting the state party convention and doing a fundraiser for Stephen. On Monday, Barbour, who is the Republican Governors Association chairman, is heading to the Granite State, for a fundraiser for Stephen in the morning and then will tour a factory in Londonderry. On the 30th, Pawlenty will headline an event with Stephen as well.
The New Hampshire Republican Party is bullish about Stephen's chances against the popular Gov. John Lynch. There hasn't been any reliable polling in the state thus far (there was a robo-poll showing the race tight), but even Democratic Gov. John Lynch's campaign is acting like they're in a fight. Yesterday, the campaign went up with an attack ad, criticizing Stephen's record as state Health and Human Services commisioner. He held the post under Lynch and former Gov. Craig Benson.
"Stephen won't tell you but he raised fees 162 times, left a trail of mismanagement we're still paying for," an announcer says in Lynch's ad. "John Stephen. If you can't trust his numbers, how can you trust him?"
Lynch is trying for an unprecedented fourth term. (In New Hampshire, governors serve two-year terms.) That hasn't happened since Colonial times, the New Hampshire Republican Party notes.
"John Stephen is an excellent nominee," said Ryan Williams, spokesman for the New Hampshire Republican Party. "We have the best shot in years of taking back the corner office." He adds that voters, channeling much of the frustration highlighted by the Tea Party movement, are "rallying around [Stephen's] fiscally conservative message."
Stephen's is currently a consultant with the Lucas Group in Boston, where he advises state governments on achieving "efficiencies," Williams said. He's worked including Rhode Island Gov. Donald Carcieri (R) and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) on how to get savings, particularly in health care. Stephen's father is a former Democratic state Senator from Manchester.
In the Senate race... There's a debate tomorrow between Republican front-runner Kelly Ayotte and Rep. Paul Hodes. And how much have things possibly turned there? Hodes, who once touted the Dem party line, is now on TV calling himself a "fiscal conservative." (That's something Karl Rove's American Crossroads derided in this ad.)
