Leicester City have tabled a contract offer worth about £5million to sign Esteban Cambiasso, who is currently a free agent after leaving Inter Milan, Mirror reports.
The Argentine star made over 50 caps for his national team and has featured for the Serie A side a further 315 times over the last 10 years.

Having only been promoted into the English Premier League, Leicester have made a swoop to sign the defensive midfielder on a two-year deal.
A move is believed to be close as Cambiasso is set to meet club representatives in order to finalize all the details of the potential switch.
His experience is seen as a massive boost to Nigel Pearson's side with the 33-year-old having already won a host of trophies, including the Italian Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, Champions League, as well as both league titles in Italy and Spain.
Should the Foxes complete the deal, they may have got themselves one of the shock buys of the window after failed moves by Valencia as well as West Ham United.

I have tried blogging previously and failed miserably, however at this point this old munki needs to focus his thoughts. I have been training in BJJ for about four years, but I have spent half this out with broken bits and I am currently a few weeks away from shoulder surgery, which will have me out of training for another three months. Yes awesome!!
I have armed myself with plenty of books and videos so I can keep learning, even if I can't train. I have learn from the last time. Yes I went through the same surgery at the beginning of the year, so I am preparing for my recovery. Besides the books and videos, I have a supply of collagen tablets, krill oil, udo's oil all of which was recommended to me by the instructor on a recent kettlebell course, who was my age and had gone through similar surgery and recovered a lot quicker than I did the first time. So I have some hopes that my munki ass will be back in the gym and on the mat a lot quicker than last time.
I actually enjoy the learning, challenging and lifestyle aspects of BJJ so I really want to put some efort into it, even though I am 42 I have aspirations of maybe competing one day. Yes I have a full job, which is a lot of responsibility, but after the surgery I am going forward with dedication for my health and training. So I thought putting down my munki musing will help me with this. If monkeys can write Shakespeare I might eventually come out with something either usefully or interesting to someone else.
Throw me a banana if you have any comments.

So we come to wireless scanners, and we're going to split this section up into 2 parts because there are 2 wireless technologies in WiFi and Bluetooth. This blog talks about Bluetooth barcode scanners.
Bluetooth scanners still come in 2 different types. Ones that are optimised for retail environments and ones that are designed to be connected and used with more generic equipment like Android PDA's or iPads but essentially they both use the same Bluetooth technology to connect. Bluetooth is wireless standard designed to connect devices locally. Often referred to as PAN (Personal Area network) technology you can think of it as something that replaces all the wires you have at your desk and it could be thought of as a rival technology for wired solutions like USB or Serial etc. Despite being a commonly known standard it's only until recently however that all the different manufacturers implementing it have actually got it talking to each other. We've seen BT technology come on leaps and bounds in recent years in the Rugged market due to this and it really is a technology that can be used quite reliably now in the right environment.
Retail Bluetooth Barcode Scanners
These have been around for some time now and they literally remove the wire that connects the scanner to the till or PC. They "talk" to their own cradle only, which in turn connects to the till or PC via a cable. This means that you can have wireless barcode scanning in many different environments, only restricted by the type of host till or PC you have and the cable connections that the manufacturers make. The cradle tends to charge the device and some can act as presentation cradles too so you can charge and scan at the same time (Kind of defeats the object though really!).
We've seen proprietary technology spring up here which has seen various flavours of BT connection. The benefits of this are that the connections have become more secure, have better range and also have a quicker response and transmit time. However the main problem in the past has been that you can;t just connect any Bluetooth scanner to any Bluetooth enable host, like you can with BT smartphone accessories.
These bluetooth scanners remain focussed on their retail environment and present wireless scanning that's robust.
iPad Style Bluetooth Barcode Scanners
The world is changing however and expensive IBM/Nixdorf tills have become £300 WepOS terminals sporting normal Bluetooth or USB connections as they are essentially just Windows XP PC's. Also the rise of the Tablet PC and barcoding in general have driven for ways to connect more generically using Vcom or HID protocols that most standard BT connections talk over. We have seen quite a lot of Bluetooth barcode scanners spring up in the last few years bring often rugged, flexible and easy set-up bluetooth barcode scanning to a range of different devices.
The Pro's of Wireless
- Convenience – No wires = far great freedom to scan!
- Scanning efficiency – Because they're wireless you can get all kinds of better angles when scanning awkward, heavy items.
- Range – WiFi and some BT scanners can give you great range and the freedom to wonder around a store or warehouse with scanning capability.
The Con's of Wireless
- Power – Wireless means you need to carry a battery which means it needs charging constantly or you'll be scanning no more!
- Weight – Again due to the battery Wireless barcode scanners are heavier.
- Loss – Believe or not but you can lose these things! Also they tend to need to be more rugged due to the fact they can be more easily dropped, lost and left in rugged environments (like outside!).
The Future of Bluetooth Barcode Scanners
Well at the moment the above two categories have very different looking scanners. I think we'll see retail style barcode scanners appearing that can just connect to anything and we're seeing some already in fact. They'll be a few examples of these that we'll talk about very soon.
Class 1 Vs Class 2 Bluetooth
Quick word on this. Class 1 basically gives you 10M range and class 2 gives 100M range. There are a few 100M range models that we can show you that create a rival technology for the WiFi barcode scanners that we'll talk about in part 2 of this blog next.

Stephan Welz & Company are having an auction soon. And they believe that the stuff going under the hammer is so exclusive that it warrants a press release, complete with a photograph of a particularly precious item up for sale.
It's a ginger jar, and looks like this:
According to the description, it's 32cm high on a wooden stand. It is painted with "stylised leaves, flowers and stars against a streaked green and yellow ground, gilt detailing, the cover similarly decordated, all under a lustre glaze".
It's pretty.
Then I saw that this little piece of pottery is expected to fetch between R25 000 and R35 000.
That's pretty expensive for a little item.
And then I saw the Christmas catalogue put out by Makro's liquor outlet. And I realised that R35 000 for a pretty little display item is an absolute steal.
I mean - check this out. R150 000 for a bottle of whisky! I kid you not! Here is the brochure, as photographed with my Blackberry!
And it is not a printing error or other kind of mistake. My colleague Boulders phoned them to check it out. And indeedio - a bottle of 50-year-old Glenfiddich will set you back the cost of a mid-range car!
For that price I would want it to drive me to work, make me coffee and give me a neck massage. At the very least!

If you stay at the Paradis Malihide in Rwanda you'll get to watch these fishermen leaving at about 6pm each day in these huge rowboats to fish lake Kivu for sambassa and tilapia. They stay out all night, returning at about 7am the next day. The canoes are made of three hulls, attached by beams. The paddling happens in the two outriggers and it takes the a long time to get up to speed.
On our first day there we heard them singing on their way out and ran, in the rain to the docks to watch. Looking out at this departure is incredible as at least a dozen of these giant canoes slowly make their way to deeper water. The spindly bits sticking out each end of the canoes are for stretching their nets out.

Don't know why I did, but I watched the replay. Didn't get any better than the first time.
And, that #22, Helaire, played only one half vs. Evangel and not all against Bro. Martin they said. Hell! he's their whole team. Wish he hadn't play against us. We'd have won 28-0, even with the stupid turnovers.
Oh well....next year will be here before ya know it.
Not been a good experience in the Dome in 2015....so far. Saw the Saints lose earlier this year, than Friday night....got one more shot at it. Go Dawgs!

Telcos must compete less and collaborate more as innovation efforts get put under the spotlight, according to research firm, Ovum.
In its latest study, Understanding How Telcos Innovate , which analysed more than 3500 new service launches by telcos, it found that innovation is critical to telco survival, yet many miss the big picture, exaggerate the threat from over-the-top (OTT) players, and misunderstand the broader benefits of innovation.
Ovum industry, communications, and broadband practice principal analyst, Emeka Obiodu, said telcos were too selective when choosing partners and overburdened their prospective allies with unrealistic revenue expectations.
Instead, the report recommended that telcos use partnerships to scout for new ideas, assimilate them, and capture value.
In addition, the research indicated the importance of prioritising innovations that exploit the centrality of operators' networks.
"An efficient network that has been updated with new innovations can be combined with innovative business models to continuously deliver value to telcos and their shareholders," she said.
Obiodu claimed that a well-crafted strategy can use additional, preferably low-cost, new products and services to supplement and shield core products.
The research also highlighted the significance of a comprehensive approach to evaluating the benefits of innovation.
"Telcos should use the notion of "net innovation benefit" – which is made up of "net new revenues", "net cost savings", and "net non-monetary benefits" – to measure the success of their innovation activities.
"The advantage of this metric is that it unifies the traditional metrics used for new products, processes, and marketing initiatives," she said.
According to Obiodu, using such a comprehensive approach to evaluating new ideas, will enable telcos to avoid the short-sightedness and misunderstandings that have underpinned some of their previous innovation activities.

Feminists are ugly, fat, pantsuit-wearing, people with body hair that would embarrass Chewbacca. At least that's what some Twitter users are saying with the hashtag #HowToSpotAFeminist.
A couple days ago, the feed was filled with insulting tweets written by uniformed people. But now, self-proclaimed feminists are trying to take control of the hashtag. Continue reading

Mushibugyo Episodes 5+6: Mugai: What Solitary Eyes See & The Hot Guy Beneath the Mask: Nagatomimaru
'I'm sorry! I wasn't able to live up to your expectations!'
Episode 5 Synopsis: A request from Minster Mizuno Saneyoshi has requested for Mugai to perform an insect extermination. Mugai has picked Jinbei to accompany him, but won't explain why…
Episode 6 Synopsis: A masked figure is stalking the headquarters of the Insect Brigade. What does he want and why does he know so much about their inner workings?
Two very interesting episodes. I'd like to say one thing before we continue though… why is every episode character specific? Will they just introduce a new character every episode until the finale? How can you call that a 'story'? I understand that this is a shounen show but still… Nevertheless, every episodes 'story' is great and the action oriented episode 5 was awesome. Episode 6 began introducing us to some elements that are sure to shake the show (and it's 'story') up and I hope that the fast approaching finale will be as awesome as the 'reveal' at the end of episode 6 is making the (supposed) main plot out to be… But I digress…
Episode 5 is all about Jinbei finally getting what he wants, Mugai. Now I'm not talking about him getting Mugai into bed (although let's be honest, he probably wants that too), no that would be weird, I'm actually talking about the pairing up of Jinbei and Mugai for Mugai's mission against the… giant fleas and their larvae… The action in this episode was amazing, I loved every battle and Jinbei's self sacrifice (which by rights should have killed him) was emotional and awesome… Mugai on the other hand, is not (awesome, that is). So Mugai is basically the Sasuke Uchiha of this show, yeah? Willing to sacrifice anyone, a bad ally and basically an arse hole… I don't understand what Jinbei sees in him? Mugai's dark nature was finally revealed in this episode and to be honest, it was pretty darn chilling. Mugai's is ruthless and his sword fighting prowess and shear strength only add to my annoyance of the former. He knows that he's good and he indulges in it. There was that part at the end where Oharu comments that it looks like BOTH Jinbei and Mugai are enjoying each others' company but I can't be sure if that means that Mugai is changing or if it means that Jinbei was having so much fun that it looked like Mugai was having fun… if that makes sense… Oh! And another thing… did he not tell Jinbei about his reasoning for bringing him along out of kindest or simply because there was no point? Interesting character… that's all I have to say about that.
My God! That servant Yasuke and Jinbei should just get a room and make babies already. The steamy romantic tension in this episode between the two lads was… sensual. I joke, of course, but I still found it funny, watching Jinbei run around dramatically in his futile to save useless old Yasuke. Like, seriously Yasuke, do yourself (and Jinbei) a favor and just move out of the damn way! You don't want to die? Run. Jinbei gave you several opportunities to do so so why didn't you? Scum.
Oh! And on one final note… I'm glad Oharu managed to get TWO on screen appearances… really helps me to remember that her character exists, y'know?
Episode 6. A better episode? Maybe. The best part of the episode was definitely the latter five minutes, or as I like to call them, the 'Kyoto Destruction Revelation… five minutes'? It was truly interesting and that is something that I haven't been able to say about this show in a long time. This anime doesn't have an intricate plot full of twists and turns and it's good to see something that is A. epic and B. plot changing. I'm hoping that Kyoto is in ruin and that Jinbei and the gang will go there and find half their country over run with bugs… Oh! And just how did the bugs come about a century ago? It's interesting plot points like this that keep the viewer interested and although it took them a long time to finally get to it, I think it was well worth it… if it pays off in the end, that is.
The other half of episode 6? Well that would be Nagatomimaru, the next Shogun of Edo… Is Jinbei bi-sexual? Tell me, I implore you. Seriously, what is it with Jinbei's attraction to men? Mugai, Nagatomimaru… who's next? I'm only calling him bi because he seems to have a somewhat healthy interest in Oharu that keeps him from becoming full on homo and this show from becoming full on yaoi… But I digress, Nagatomimaru is an interesting character, stupid… stupid… stupid… oh! And smart. I don't we'll see TOO much more of him although I do think we will see him more than Yasuke (thank God). All throughout the episode I found myself wondering why he was being introduced and how he can help further the… 'plot'. He's not the best character and I feel as though Episode 6 was much weaker than episode 5 mainly due to his appearance… Episode 6's only redeeming feature was the last five minutes and the implications they may bring…
But that only leaves one question… Who is the Insect Magistrate (I must know!)… Oh! And why are Nagatomimaru's eyes glowing red at the end of episode 5? Did the camera give him red eye (a bad joke, I know)?

The holidays are here, meaning the holiday parties will be kicking off before you know it. No matter what kind of get-together you attend, it's safe to bet that you'll be overloaded with appetizers and party snacks galore. It's also safe to bet that at most parties, you'll be served the same standard fare over and over again: spinach dip, tortilla chips, cheese and crackers, and shrimp cocktail are all finger foods that are practically guaranteed to show up at any holiday event.
If you want a spread that stands out from the crowd, try putting a spin on your food and display to make it a little more interesting this holiday season. Keep some easy tips and tricks in mind the next time you're hosting a get-together for party food that's memorable and guaranteed to please your guests.
Use Edible Bowls
Making edible bowls for dips, salsas, and fruit is one of the easiest ways to make your party spread look impressive to your guests. Depending on the holiday, scoop out the insides of a pumpkin, bell pepper, bread loaf, watermelon or tomato and fill up your new serving dish with dip. Your appetizer table will instantly look more festive and appealing to guests.
Provide Interesting Dipper
To make your food more memorable when you're hosting a get-together, skip the potato chips and crackers in favor or more obscure dippers. Mozzarella sticks, sweet potato fries, grilled cheese slices, kale chips and even hard boiled eggs are all fun twists on typical dippers that guests will be excited to eat.
Stick to a Theme
Aside from having food that tastes great, presentation is also important when it comes to having an appealing party spread. Consider serving appetizers that all stick to a certain theme, whether it's having all red and green colored options for a Christmas party or all heart-shaped goodies for a Valentine's day celebration. Everything will look cohesive and guests will appreciate your extra thought and effort.
Mix Up Your Options
Having a variety of options is one of the best ways to make your food appealing to all of your guests since everyone is partial to different types of food. Provide a mix of hot and cold, vegetarian and meaty, and dip-able and simply grab-able options. Serve hot dips in slow cookers to keep food warm and serve chilled appetizers in small bowls set inside of bigger bowls filled with ice for a mix of temperatures.
Serving memorable food doesn't mean you need to be a 5-star chef; it just requires a little extra thought and effort. Experiment and have fun with your party food this season, and happy snacking!

Unfortunately, there are no guarantees that the moral codes we teach our children will be used by them as adults.
The hard part for any parent is standing back, whilst they watch their children change things in their lives, which they don't agree with, but the newer generation seem to take a different view.
Do we need to be educated on morality or can morality be self-taught?
I don't believe we have to be. Morality is usually passed on through the generations and is completely self-taught. It's not something that we need an education for, although it's important we understand how to use morality and use it well.
In order to do that we must keep an open mind on individual circumstances, instead of making broad assumptions. There is no reason why the younger generation can't think about and use morality for themselves; it just takes practice.
The world is changing and so too is morality. There is an art to expression and an art to understanding how we use morality in our lives. I'm not sure whether the younger generation find it difficult or they're not into morality itself. It's become too easy for people to assume and demand, without giving consideration to the way they ask and speak to their elders.
When I was growing up respect and morality was something we grasped diligently. We sponged it up. It was almost expected of us that we would continue to live our lives with the same values. Morality isn't about education; morality is about understanding; about a place; an acceptance that we will work with the same philosophies.
When I was growing up children just knew how to behave and grew up with boundaries in place. Morality brought about a sense of calm, a sense of peace and a sense of belonging that the newer generation don't have. Unfortunately, as they try to keep tabs on the world they're growing up in, technology has become their main focus as they continue to keep pace with what's going on around them.
If their friends aren't using morality, neither will they; even though it's what they will have known for most or all of their lives. I find it sad, but it's even more frustrating for the parents.

Kenny Miller rescued victory for Rangers as his stoppage-time strike handed the Light Blues a dramatic 2-1 Ladbrokes Premiership win over Motherwell at Ibrox.
Motherwell boss Mark McGhee claimed his side would not have it as tough as they did while shipping five goals against Celtic in the Betfred Cup two weeks ago, and he was right as Gers toiled to break the visitors down.
His side even took the lead after 19 minutes when Scott McDonald tapped home from close range.
But the outcome ended up the same as Miller slotted home late on after Harry Forrester's 64th-minute equaliser to claim the points for Rangers.
Forrester admitted it was a "relief" to come away with the victory.
"To go behind so early on meant we had to grind it out and to come away with three points shows that we never give up and we keep going to the final whistle," he said.
"Even when our backs are against the wall we'll come out fighting. We deserved to win.
"Ideally we want to put on a show. People come to watch us – but sometimes it's all about grit and determination. No-one likes to drop points, especially at home. We're expected to win here. We knew that before the game."
Rangers had started the game in a positive mood – but the loss of the opening goal to McDonald after nineteen minutes was a setback that it took the Light Blues the remainder of the first half to recover from as Forrester acknowledged.
"Once they got their goal they put ten men behind the ball, which is always hard to break down," he added.
"We had words at half-time – there wasn't enough movement and we weren't penetrating them enough.
"We knew that we had to move the ball quicker, McKay weren't finding areas because they had two banks of four."

Recipe: how to make Jamie Oliver's sizzling Moroccan prawns and rainbow salsa
- Published
At Stylist we're huge fans of quick but flavour-packed dishes, and this one from Jamie Oliver's latest tome really hits the spot.
As well as using juicy king prawns, this recipe features colourful veg that can be changed according to the season (try celery and leeks in winter). It's full of goodness too; Jamie says, "Adding a pop of sweetness to this dish, pomegranates are a great source of vitamin B6, keeping our nervous system healthy so our cells can send signals to each other."
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 5 minutes
Ingredients (Serves 2)
Step 1: Strip the rosemary leaves into a pestle and mortar, then peel and add the garlic and pound into a paste with a pinch of sea salt.
Step 2: Muddle in 1 tablespoon of oil, the paprika, saffron and a swig of boiling water to make a marinade. Use little scissors to cut down the back of each prawn shell and remove the vein.
Step 3: Cut 1 orange into wedges, toss with the prawns and the marinade and leave aside for 10 minutes.
Step 4: Put the couscous into a bowl and just cover with boiling water, then pop a plate on top and leave to fluff up. Take a bit of pride in finely chopping all your colourful seasonal veg and chilli, and put them into a nice serving bowl.
Step 5: Pick a few pretty mint leaves and put to one side, then pick and finely chop the rest and add to the bowl with the juice of the lemon and the remaining orange. Add the couscous, toss together and season to perfection.
Step 6: Put a large non-stick frying pan on a high heat. Add the prawns, marinade and orange wedges and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the prawns are gnarly and crisp, then arrange on top of the couscous. Dollop with yoghurt, then halve the pomegranate and, holding it cut side down in your fingers, bash the back so the sweet jewels tumble over everything. Sprinkle with the reserved mint leaves and serve.
Eat with...
Wine expert Jane Parkinson recommends the perfect pairing

Prawns with a little hit of spice love a punchy dry rosé. This comes from France's haven of pink wine, Provence, and has a crunchy cranberry and redcurrant flavour to perk up the chilli, prawns and paprika brilliantly.

(Carlisle, Pa.) – The Dickinson College football team suffered a 34-16 setback in the season finale, falling to visiting Ursinus on Saturday.
The Devils won the toss and elected to receive. It was Ursinus who would strike first however, as Chris Roundtree returned an interception 75 yards to put the Bears up 7-0.
Dickinson had a much better result on its next possession as first-year Cole Ahnell (Rockville, Md./Walter Johnson) connected with senior Cam Di Fede (Miami, Fla./Palmer Trinity), who made a spectacular finger-tip catch and scored on a 44 yard pass play to pull the Devils even.
The Bears opened the second quarter with a 16-play, 70-yard scoring drive that drained almost eight minutes off the clock. The Devils were forced to punt and Ursinus would capitalize, adding another scoring drive to stretch the margin to 17-7 with just 2:41 remaining in the half.
The Devils were forced to punt once again but quickly regained possession as first-year Mitch Helmandollar (Glenolden, Pa./Interboro) intercepted a pass in the end zone on the Bears' first place from scrimmage. The Bears would hold once again, however, and take over on their own 39 with 48 second on the clock.
A bad snap slipped through the hands of Chris Curran and onto the turf. As players dove on the ball it was sophomore Michael Miller (Hainesport, N.J./Bishop Eustace) who scooped it up and headed down the field. He would cover 71 yards for the touchdown, marking the fifth longest fumble return for a score in program history. The half would end with the Devils now just trailing, 17-13.
The Bears' Al Desiderio took the opening kick-off into the end zone for a touchdown but the play was nullified by offsetting penalties, resulting in another kick-off. This time the Bears made it halfway as Mike Rissmiller returned the kick to the 48 yard line.
Desiderio would make up for his nullified touchdown return with a 24-yard scoring catch to stretch the Bears' lead to 24-16 with 10:18 to play in the third quarter. The Devils answered with a 33-yard field-goal from senior David London (Chevy Chase, Md./The Maret School).
Dickinson would gain some momentum, stopping the Bears' on a 4th-and-1, taking over on their own 22 yard line. The teams would trade punts to close out the third quarter with Ursinus on top, 24-16. They tacked on a 37-yard field-goal from Michael Bennett at the 9:02 mark of the fourth quarter.
The teams traded punts with Ursinus taking over on their own 28 yard line. They moved 61 yards on eight plays to tack on another score for the final of 34-16.
Ahnell threw for 134 yards, completing 12-of-22 attempts. Di Fede finished with 76 yards receiving on just five catches, adding a touchdown. Defensively, Julian Rosen (Brecksville, Ohio/The University School) tallied a game-high 12 tackles, including two for losses. Senior Scott Sullivan (Coatesville, Pa./Bishop Shanahan) added 11 stops, including 10 solo tackles while Miller finished with 10 tackles and the 71-yard fumble return.
Bryan Ellis led the Bears with 155 yards rushing on 31 carries while Curran completed 18-of-26 passes for 184 yards. Kahlil Pittman made six catches for 76 yards. Chris Salaga anchored the defense with 10 stops, including two for losses.
The Red Devils close out the season 4-6 overall and 4-5 in the Centennial Conference.

"It was been my pleasure working with Jay and Teleteria, Inc. I was referred to them by a personal friend who had nothing but excellent things to say about the company. So, I got online and filled out the requested information to receive my web site packet.After reading the information and speaking to Jay personally, I was ready to do my website. The designer that I worked with was patient, professional, and courteous. He worked with me up until the point that I was 100% satisfied with the site, which showed excellent customer service. Additionally, Jay gave me a great deal incentive to get into the industry with my web page so that I could start making money now. He even allowed me to pay my remaining past due balance little by little because of the economic hardship situations that I was in. Further, he took it to the next level and got my site up and running so that I could start making that extra income revenue stream though my website.I plan to do more sites using Jay and Teleteria, Inc. and refer all my friends who want to get into the industry to the company."
I'll be sure to refer people to www.teleteria.net everytime!

I had a difficult time having just gotten back from the Gulf War. My job was basically gone although it was supposed to still be there! A friend introduced me to Jay Servidio and told me all kinds of wonderful things that Teleteria did for him. I checked our www.teleteria.net and then I gave Jay Servidio a call.
I didn't have the full amount but in several easy payments, Jay Servidio worked with me. I have never worked with anyone as generous and kind as Servidio. He understood I had to take care of my wife and two kids first and this website was going to be pretty much our only source of income.
Teleteria designed my site quickly and then helped me market it. It couldn't have gone any smoother. Within a few months I was getting clients and that was only the beginning. I followed what Jay Servidio suggested in marketing and I did some "out of the box" thinking on my part and bam! We were no longer struggling!
I can't say thanks to Jay Servidio enough for his kindness. He is a good spirit!

^ Nope, glomp is actually a technical term for a technique used in figure skating. To glomp is to skate on one foot while extending the other foot above your head and hoping while skating on one foot. Also known as the one-foot hop. It was made popular by Russian figure skater Lev Glompenstav.

Despite convincing state lawmakers last week that permitting public access to police disciplinary files would endanger lives, law enforcement advocacy groups have been unable to identify a single case in which an officer actually had been harmed because of the release of such information.
Police officers from all over California lined up to warn a key Assembly committee that releasing the names of those accused of misconduct would put their lives in jeopardy.
"Keep our families safe," speaker after speaker said.
The argument resonated with lawmakers and essentially killed a bill that would have provided access to disciplinary records, such as when officers use excessive force, lie in court or make racial slurs.
Assemblyman Jose Solorio (D-Santa Ana), the Public Safety Committee chairman, said he was convinced that identifying officers involved in misconduct was "a real threat" to their safety. In an interview with The Times, he said he had been told of "numerous examples" where the release of an officer's identity in a discipline case directly led to officers and their families being harmed.

Local Government FAQ
Below there are some common questions, and their answers, around voting. Please click on a question to expand it and see its answer.
How do I contact a councillor?
You can contact your Labour councillors via this website. Alternatively, you can find details about all councillors from Kettering Borough Council and Northants County Council. They will be able to supply their names, addresses and telephone numbers.
When you contact your councillor, they may refer you to an officer of the council, or to another councilor, depending on the nature of your query.
Can I ask a councillor to find something out for me?
Yes, but remember a councillor is bound by the requirements of the Data Protection Act, just as you are. So, if you ask a question about a neighbour, they may not be able to tell you the answer. Where an answer is of public record, for example, a Planning Application he/she may tell you where to find your answer, or be able to give you a direct answer.
What can my councillor do about noisy/nuisance neighbours?
They can supply you with details of how Kettering Borough Council treats the subject and how to start the process. Some things can be done quickly, especially where public health is concerned. If there are rats on a neighbouring property, for example, the council can act very quickly. Your councillor can regularly check up on progress for you.
How do I become a Labour councillor?
In brief, by being a member, being selected to stand in a particular ward or division and then winning the most votes in an election. However, behind this simple statement (and many rules!) we want our councillors to be a success, so we ask them to provide evidence of skills, participation in the local community, understanding of local issues and Labour policies.
People learn-by-doing as well, so councillors will grow with the job.
Do you practice equality in selecting candidates for election?
Yes. We choose candidates irrespective of individual circumstances, ethinic background, disability etc. For example, currently five out of nine Labour councillors on Kettering Borough Council are female.
How do I become mayor?
A mayor, at the moment, is someone who is a councillor and has been selected by all councillors to be deputy mayor for a year. Usually the deputy mayor becomes mayor the following year. Normally the nominees are chosen with all party support. 2013 to 2014 saw Cllr. Keli Watts do a fantastic job of representing Kettering at home and abroad.

Spooky Hello Kitty
Halloween month is officially here! So I just had to make this bento. My family loves Halloween and I am to excited to decorate the house and gear up for this holiday.
Today's Halloween lunch bento is based around one of kiddos faves Hello Kitty. Plus I love the sammi punch I have for those quick and easy lunches.
Spooky Hello Kitty Bento is a tortilla sammi (turkey and cheese) GF & DF meats and cheese used. I added a witch hat to her and a little pepper star. Above her is a cucumber slice with a nori black cat on it, carrot pumpkin, meat flower with a pepper star and some lettuce tucked in around it. Opposite side is a piece of corn on the cob with a spider ring on top, another pepper star, two broccoli pieces and a strawberry.
Momma Says: With the help of a great cutter this bento was quick and easy. You can find them online or use Extra large cookie cutters (I found some cool ones at William Sonoma yesterday cant wait to use).

|Harriet Beecher Stowe1811 - 1896
Lyman Beecher1775 - 1863
and Henry Ward Beecher1813 - 1887
|Sometime after 1860, Lyman Beecher left Boston to live in Brooklyn with his son, Henry Ward Beecher, popular pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church. Though the younger Beecher's ministry of love and redemption contrasted strongly with his father's strict Calvinist philosophy, both he and his sister, Harriet Beecher Stowe, carried on their father's opposition to slavery. Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin, rendered her tragic subject in a style that combined heartfelt conviction with endless documentary detail, and the book made her the best-known author of her generation. This image was made around 1861, when Henry Ward Beecher, as editor of the national magazine The Independent, began to call for ever more radical action from Lincoln to end slavery and bring the war to a close. Brady's photograph of two famous siblings and their renowned father record a distinguished American family and three important intellectual leaders.

An Australian soldier has been killed in fighting with Taliban militants in southern Afghanistan.
Australian officials say the 26-year-old member of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) was killed Friday while part of an operation targeting Taliban bomb-makers in southern Uruzgan province.
The soldier was the third Australian killed in Afghanistan in recent months.
Military involvement in Afghanistan is an issue in Australia's national elections being held Saturday.
In separate violence Friday, police say Taliban militants killed at least seven Afghan police officers in the southern province of Kandahar. The officers were killed after militants overran a police checkpoint in the Arghandab area.
And U.S.-led coalition troops say several suspected insurgents were killed and a coalition soldier wounded during clashes Thursday in the Ghazni province.
Also Friday, Dutch government parties agreed to continue the Dutch military mission in southern Afghanistan. The Netherlands has more than 1,500 soldiers deployed in Afghanistan as part of the International Security Assistance Force. Many serve in the southern Uruzgan province.
And Poland's new prime minister, Donald Tusk, said Friday Poland will keep its current troop level in Afghanistan. The Polish leader wants to withdraw troops from Iraq.
In 2001, a U.S.-led invasion toppled the strict Islamic Taliban regime in Afghanistan. Over the past year or so, a reconstituted rebel movement has increased suicide attacks against NATO, the U.S. military and Afghan forces.
More than 6,000 have died in insurgency-related violence this year in Afghanistan.
Some information for this report was provided by AFP, AP and Reuters.

Petzl and Chinese IP law October 21, 2011Posted by Brandon in Technique Forum - the Training.

add a comment
Counterfeit products from China are notorious, but a recent turn towards an insular and specialized outdoor sport is putting athlete's lives at risk. Earlier this year, the climbing manufacturer Petzl discovered counterfeit safety equipment was being tracked to China. These products included handle ascenders, pulleys and carabiners, i.e. products used to save climber's lives in a deadly sport. The counterfeits were so thorough that in some cases, fake serial numbers were engraved on the components. However, the quality of the materials and workmanship was clear. Normally, counterfeit products are associated with clothing and electronics, but as Petzl now realizes, these untested and cheaply made products are doing more than just diluting their brand.
Climbing equipment is predominately designed and manufactured by Petzl and Black Diamond. These companies have built a reputation for quality in the climbing community over decades of use in the outdoors. Petzl claims their products are built and safe tested in the United State and France with durable components and comprehensive design. However over the last few years, Petzl noticed Chinese counterfeits of their headlamps appearing, presumably in an attempt to capitalize on the loyal customer base who value the Petzl brand. The counterfeit climbing equipment was nearly identical in color, design, markings, packaging and batch numbering. While Petzl is pursuing legal action against the Chinese manufacturer, presumably for patent infringement and trademark dilution, the only remedial action they have suggested for end users is to ensure you purchase Petzl products from an authorized reseller. This is likely due to the fact that to date Petzl has been unable to specifically identify or distinguish the counterfeited products from their own.
While intellectual property protection in China is widely considered to be poor, the legal structure and organization of IP laws in China is quite strong. Independent offices administer trademark, patent and copyrighted articles, and the government is a member of World Trade Organization and has adopted significant international agreements on IP such as TRIPS. The Chinese Trademark Office is the most active trademark office in the world. While registration is required and can take up to three years to complete, foreign owners of "well known" marks can challenge Chinese domestic applications. Although patent rights are territorial, meaning that an inventor must register in China for protection, China has adopted the international standard of "first to file" for patents. What is more, China's copyright laws are very liberal, granting protection for tangible products without requiring registration. This is ideal for software owners, as source code does not need to be disclosed in order to gain rights under copyright.
Despite these protections, IP enforcement is difficult and infringement is rampant. This is likely in part a result of a booming economy and growing socioeconomic diversity. China has the world's second highest number of internet users, and their economy has tripled in the last ten years. This dramatically affects enforcement and the ability to regulate technology. Potentially more significant, the Chinese government heavily regulates imports, creating an exaggerated demand for foreign goods and technology that feeds the black market.
The consequences are severe for foreign IP owners. The US Customs Office, now part of the Department of Homeland Security, notes that China is the single largest source of seizures at our borders. Outside the US, chinese counterfeiters can not only sell their products locally, but easily export to foreign markets. In fact, counterfeit products have been found at trade shows in the United States, which are further introduced to the US market through sales to customers and suppliers. Unsurprisingly, this has led to some counterfeited products having been found within the original IP holder's own supply chain.
To combat counterfeits, there are many precautions available to IP holders. For example, one could make efforts to register IP, particularly where it is required (patents), record the development and investigate customers, as well as enforce rights whenever infringement is discovered. More important, register your IP in China in Chinese, to avoid inconsistencies or graft in translation disputes, and do thorough prior art searches. Finally, to assist policing, the US Customs office offers a program to register copyrights and trademarks with the department, which is then used to actively monitor imports coming into the country.
Chinese counterfeits are not going to disappear, so domestic IP holders need to consider where they can to protect their brand and monitor their industry. Rock climbing is a beautiful but dangerous sport, and litigious if you run a guide or touring company. Adding the possibility of indistinguishable fake equipment is not a risk we can take. Hopefully Petzl will make sure this is the last time we have to worry about it.

Google Power October 12, 2011Posted by Brandon in Technology Forum - the Art.

Google's services are generally free, but they're not cheap. While it is the pre-eminent source for search, cloud and increasingly mobile technology, Google has entered a new market over the last few years…Energy. Last month, Google began offering solar panel installation packages for residential properties to support its energy consumption. However this is not Google's first investment in energy exploration, and it likely won't be the last.
Data centers full of servers store and run Google's technology, and it uses a lot of electricity. A single data center can gobble up enough energy to power a city of 40,000 people, and Google has almost forty around the world. "Brown" energy, or energy created from coal and oil, is expensive and shown to be environmentally hazardous. Google had trouble finding energy investments or companies to develop new tools, so as they "do no evil", Google moved into investing in green technology and support its development independantly.
This led Google to found a new arm of the company, known as Google Green. Google strives to use green technology and energy to power their data centers and promote the use of sustainable energy in general. While Google is notoriously secretive, CEO Eric Schmidt admits that "energy prices drive the cost of Google", and the lack of green energy development inspired the company to begin investing in the technology itself. Internally, Google is developing new materials to replace mirrors on solar-thermal farms, which dramatically cuts manufacturing costs. It already has installed 1.6 megawatts of solar panels on its facilities, which now cover 30% of Google's operating power needs.
In the first stages of developing green technology, Google partnered with General Electric in 2008, and began developing its own technology in 2009. Since then, it has invested in wind farms in North Dakota, California and Oregon along with solar projects in California and Germany. Google's most well known projects include a $168 million investment in 2011 for a solar thermal development in California's Mojave Desert, which could supply energy to nearby locations like Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
However, Google's most ambitious plan involves funding and developing a "superhighway" of huge waterproof wiring to be installed off the US eastern coastline, with the goal of creating the infrastructure for large wind farms in the Atlantic.
The most recent project of supplying residential solar panels launched last month. Under the plan, Google will finance and own the solar panel installations, and will collect fees from homeowners as well as energy subsidies from the federal government. In return, homeowners are provided with free solar panels and installation along with the right to buy the solar energy which is collected from their own roofs. Residential solar panel installation would otherwise cost upwards of $30,000, and the monthly "energy fee" Google will charge homeowners to use the power should be less than the local utility bills. Indeed, for Google "it's an opportunity to significantly expand the market" for green energy. Certainly, much of this power would be harnessed for Google or its investor's purposes.
Which leads to the current political "climate" for green energy. The Obama administration is in an uncomfortable position of justifying it's guaranteed $500 million to the solar panel manufacturer Solyndra, which subsequently filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy and laid off all its workers earlier this year. Despite this, at the end of last month President Obama approved two more solar panel loans for $1 billion. In Massachusetts, the company Evergreen was given $58 million in state and federal credits, only to file for chapter 11 bankruptcy as well.
Certainly the green energy sector is in need for an overhaul, and requires commercial support apart from government subsidies. To compete with China, which provides subsidizes in the billions of dollars to it's green energy sector, the US green energy industry needs a massive boost. Maybe Google is just trying to do its part. The Obama administration would certainly appreciate someone else footing the bill for a little while.

|Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder
|Image gallery (9)
Page 1 of 1
Two years after the launch of the Coupé version of the Gallardo, Automobili Lamborghini is presenting the new Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder at the Frankfurt Motor Show. This latest addition brings the marque's range of supercars to four models. The Gallardo Spyder is not just an open-top version of the Coupé, but is a completely new model. It has an attractive new design and a unique system for opening and closing the fabric roof that utilises the engine compartment to store the folded roof. The Lamborghini Centro Stile and engineers from the Research and Development team have worked in close partnership to develop this new design and to bring these clean and sharp lines on the road.
The original design vision for the Gallardo was created in the year 2000 and this vision continues with the "open" version. The dimensions of the Gallardo, combined with its competitive performance targets, ensure the car has an athletic compactness. The long wheelbase complemented by short overhangs dynamise its appearance. The Gallardo Spyder features typical and unique mono-volume proportions, which integrate the Lamborghini design attributes of purism, athleticism and sharpness. The cab-forward cockpit is integrated in the body by a strongly-slanted front screen and tensed pillars. The complex surfacing is intersected by crisp graphics and its detailing, which is orientated towards optimum cooling, evokes a strong aeronautical influence in its proportions and formal language.
The roof raising/lowering mechanism is extremely simple to operate by way of two push-buttons on the centre of the dashboard. And the whole operation takes just over 20 seconds. The rear screen moves automatically while the roof is being opened or closed. This automatically-controlled movement always returns the screen to the raised position. The driver can also choose to have the screen in the lowered position (also with the roof raised) by pressing the appropriate button on the dashboard. There is also a "service function" that positions the roof so as to allow access to the engine.
Great care has been taken over the structural design of the new Gallardo Spyder, which of course complies fully with all the relevant safety standards. The space frame has been reinforced in the area of the sills and the A pillars have been strengthened with the adoption of an automatic Roll Over protection system (comprising two "pop-ups") integrated with the air bag system. All these solutions, which place Lamborghini at the very forefront of open top car design, were driven by the need to present to the public a true spyder characterised by a pure design.
The new Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder features a number of important modifications to the original engine and transmission from the Coupé. The 10-cylinder 4961 cc propulsion unit now develops 520 hp at 8,000 rpm. The six-speed gearbox now has lower ratios, which create a more dynamic performance. Like the other models in the range, the Gallardo Spyder also benefits from aluminium bodywork and features permanent four-wheel drive. And finally, its performance figures: the Gallardo Spyder reaches a top speed of 314 km/h with the roof up and 307 km/h with the roof down, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds.

Program overview
Today's businesses collect an incredible amount of data from nearly every customer touch point, from point-of-sale transactions, customer service interactions, social media feedback, search engine entries, market research activities, sales data, demographic information, and more. But most organizations aren't prepared to turn this data into information they can use to increase sales, reach new customers, develop new products, or enhance the customer experience. The MS degree in business analytics prepares business professionals to apply existing analytics technologies to interpret and make sense of the immense amount of data companies continue to collect.
The program is career-focused and developed in conjunction with top employers, such as Intuit, Excellus, and PriceWaterhouse, to design a curriculum that helps students understand and connect contemporary analytics technologies with today's business practices. Students will be prepared for positions in such areas as marketing research, analytics, and consulting; digital analytics; web intelligence and analytics; accounting and financial analytics and risk management; supply chain analytics; customer analytics; and consulting.

Types of insurance: reinsurance: overriding or ceding commissions
Frequently there can appear to be a payment from the re-insurer to the insurer (or it can look as if the insurer has deducted amounts from the premiums it pays the re-insurers). These deductions are normally in relation to proportional or facultative treaties (rarely excess of loss) and are reimbursements to the insurer of the cost of obtaining the original insurance, and is quite sensible because the re-insurers are now feeling the benefit deriving from the original insurance business. Therefore, reinsurers are paying a commission to the insured to compensate them for expenses incurred in obtaining and administering (e.g. retail brokerage, taxes, fees, home office expenses) the original business. There can also be ceding commission when retrocession has occurred. As with discounts, there is no supply to the re-insurer in respect of this deduction and so there is no liability to be determined.

I am a member of and certified through the National Strength & Conditioning Association. I get at least one new certification each year. I train mostly middle aged clients & seniors. I try to be creative in my workout designs because I believe it is important to have fun while you train. My studio is exclusive and completely private. It is a unique experience for people who need to get away from the hustle of a fitness club. I like to customize my clients experience by allowing them to bring their own ipod to listen to, have snacks available for energy & replenishment, and my private studio allows them to concentrate solely on their goals. I also do In- Home Training and offer private bootcamps for 4 people or less.

Kenny is a great trainer and motivator. Before Ropestone, working out was a chore but Kenny creates workouts that are fun and effective. He also shows me workouts that can be done in my own home when I am away from the gym. Since becoming a client, my body fat has been greatly reduced and I have found a healther lifestyle. Ropestone provides great one-on-one attention and privacy.
by Doreen Tenace
I've just started out with Ken but I can tell you that I really like his methods. My goal is to have a stronger core, tone my shape and loose that last 10% of weight to reach my goal. I'm new at all of this and Ken was really helpful right from the start. I love the different workouts that he has created especially for me. His facility is wonderful! I love the one on one attention and his encouragement throughout my sessions. His knowledge covers the "whole package" and has helpful advise for my workouts at home along with nutritional information to help me reach my goal and live a healthier lifestyle. I would 100% recommend Ken to anyone who is looking for guidance to a healthier lifestyle. You will NOT be disappointed!

Ken is an excellent trainer and teacher. Not only do I leave his workouts feeling challenged, but also like I've learned something about how to be more effective at workouts I do on my own.
Since I started working out with Ken I've become a better runner and stronger overall. I've never felt comfortable lifting weights or strength training but Ken has taught me so much! I've seen measurable results in my overall fitness as well as noticeable muscle definition I've never had before.
I've worked out with other trainers before- who yell and scream and make you feel like you are getting an intense workout. Ken is not like that at all- but the next day when you 'feel' how hard you trained – you know you're working hard! And the results speak for themselves!
