Another day, another story!
When Worlds Collide
The sky is a solid mass of unwavering grey today. Aptly fitting for Ash Wednesday. There's no relief of rain. No promise of the parting clouds. Like the whole Earth is in mourning, clinging to its pain. A type of ashen twilight that will last eternal.
Rescue Kevin lays in the bed of leaves outside the door napping in the cool. He doesn't mind the sky at all. When I ask if he wants in he stretches, rolls his eyes in apology that he finds his bed more satisfying than my company. Eventually, Summer will arrive and my company in air conditioning will be much more in demand.
That grey sky today.
Somewhere there are lovers holding hands and making promises I hope last beyond the next full moon, the next low tide. The breathing in and out of this planet. That they have loves made out of storybooks.
Yet, somewhere too, there is an old person sitting all alone, looking out the window, hoping someone will ring the doorbell or their phone. A delivery perhaps from a sweetheart who has remembered them from old times past.
Last night I drove to the store and a firetruck rushed past it's siren wailing. The coyotes began their high pitched wails in response. I noticed how far they were up on that ridge beyond the river. I wonder where will they go now that we've come and inch by inch are taking everything. Where will all the wild ones go?
Today collides two events I've spent a lifetime observing. An unlikely paring of Valentines- that day of kisses and chocolate candies, and Ash Wednesday, that day of ashes and repentance.
Grade school was made for Valentines. We made those silly little envelopes and taped them to our desks. Then we went around dropping tiny envelopes in one another's mailboxes always hoping that our secret crush would choose that one large card in the pack that said something special and cryptic like - Valentine I Swoon for You. All the rest of them said, you are sweet, kind, my friend.
Being raised Episcopalian Ash Wednesday held a special significance. We went for ashes to be placed on our forehead in the form of the cross and the priest said, Ashes to ashes, dust to dust in a somber voice and then continued down the line - From the dust you came and to the dust you will return.
That this day falls on Valentines this year is simply Southern gothic perfection. I can consider the wages of love and repentance, sweetness and loss, in one swift hand.
The wind blows unrelenting. The fingerbones of the trees waving against the dismal sky. A lone crow calls out.
Perfect Lenten weather.
Perhaps tonight the sky will clear and lovers will find stars above them as they thread their way through streets to dinner. Or their love may cast its own bright light in all the darkness. Then, so be it. Let them drink and celebrate their lives bound together.
My life found more ashes than I expected but also more love. A kind of general love that meets the world beyond the walls of my cynic heart. This love - it leaps over me. Makes way for itself in spite of my comments and asides. This wild love knows something fierce. Something more akin to forty days than heart-shaped papers. A love born in deserts, surrounded by space and darkness, wilderness and wild.
I've longed for such I do confess. In times long past. A willingness to lay down myself, become another. A partnership of perfection. Eternal kisses, forever bliss.
Now the rain comes, it hits the glass in large drops unrelenting. Look. The sky finds relief after all. At least something moves, something happens.
For years I've seen in other peoples eyes, this one here and that one there - a type of kinship. Knowing another soul ar first meeting. A fast friends type of thing, brushing lives with a stranger in a line or some odd place. A mechanic shop. A bar. A bank. A struck up conversation. Not a romantic kind of love but that of just the sameness of being human. Man, woman, child. An understanding. When there is nothing left but craving understanding. It is a - see me. Hear me. Please before I break.
Forty Days. The Lenten Season. A valentine of words. Love and loss. Renewing and remembrance. It is the Yin and yang. The balancing of moon and sun, dark and light.
Love, sometimes a sacrifice. Eternal and Divine on scale of God as man or just a tiny act. A little bit of time. A coin. A rose.
Whatever love looks like for you today I hope that you find it - a greater love, a deeper love, an older love, a newer love, first love, last love or the soulmate that you seek.
The rain is steady now. It's become a small downpour. The driveway is washing away down the road. Kevin takes me up on a dry towel and a bone. We've come together to celebrate what it means to be alive in this life. Up on this hill. Watching the rain fall while voices of all manner whisper through this night, 'I Love you' and 'ashes to ashes, dust to dust.'
Thanks so much for reading, liking and sharing with friends.

What's On
The Ginger and Spice Festival
TV presenter and author Fern Britton will be cycling 57 miles a day from John O'Groats to Lands End from May 1st to the 21st, hoping to raise at least £57,000 to fund research into the prevention of miscarriage in pregnancy. And you can join her!
As Fern saddles up for her toughest cycle challenge yet, #Challenge57, she is calling on support from cycling enthusiasts and well-wishers to join her on part (or all!) of the route.
Fern Britton is no stranger to a challenge. As proud Patron of Genesis Research Trust whose Chairman is Professor Robert Winston, Fern has taken part in cycling challenges all over the world. This one's much closer to home, but no less daunting. Fern is taking on the 1,000 mile cycle challenge from John O'Groats to Lands End in aid of Genesis Research Trust. At the age of 57, she has decided to cycle for 21 days to raise funds for research into miscarriage. Surprisingly one in four pregnancies end in miscarriage and many couples who suffer the agony of miscarriage go on to have further miscarriages. Recurrent miscarriage affects 1-2% of couples in the UK. This can lead to physical trauma and psychological stress and a variety of complications in a subsequent ongoing pregnancy, including preterm delivery and low birth. Funds are required for vital research projects to help us understand why some women have multiple miscarriages.
Says Fern, "This is one of the greatest personal challenges for me, and possibly you. Together we can do it and together we might just get closer to stopping the heartbreak of miscarriage."
The money Fern raises from the #Challenge57 ride will help Genesis Research Trust fund research into miscarriage, carried out by scientists based at Imperial College London.
To sign up to this challenge or to donate, please visit http://fernbrittonchallenge57.com
Fern's cycle challenge will start at John O'Groats on May 1st and see her cycle through the Scottish highlands, the Trossachs, the Lake District, Dartmoor, down through the country to finish at Land's End on May 21st. Stage five (May 14th) will see her being welcomed to Shropshire as she leaves Manchester for Market Drayton in the north of the county (a journey of 64 miles). On May 15th Fern and her fellow cyclists get set for a scenic day of cycling (approx. 57 miles). Mid-morning they are due to reach Shrewsbury, before heading on to Ironbridge and on to Bridgnorth and into Wyre Forest National Nature Reserve.

Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. 2 2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. 3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Electrical Safety 4. A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery. 5. Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire. Personal Safety 6. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. 7. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts. shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Tool Use and Care 12. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control. 13. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed. 14. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. 15. Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally. 16. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. 8. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool with the switch on invites accidents. 17. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire. 9. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury. 18. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control. 10. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations. 19. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. 11. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety 3 20. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another tool. SERVICE 21. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or main- tenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury. 22. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock or injury. SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES USB068-1 DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to circular saw safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury. 1. DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting area and blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary handle or motor housing. If both hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade. Keep your body positioned to either side of the saw blade, but not in line with the saw blade. KICKBACK could cause the saw to jump backwards. (See "Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback") Do not reach underneath the work. The guard can not protect you from the blade below the work. Do not attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving. CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off. Wait until blade stops before grasping cut material. 2. Check lower guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate saw if lower guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard into the open position. If saw is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be bent. Raise the lower guard with the Retracting Lever and make sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut. 4 To check lower guard, open lower guard by hand, then release and watch guard closure. Also check to see that Retracting Lever does not touch tool housing. Leaving blade exposed is VERY DANGEROUS and can lead to serious personal injury. 3. Check the operation and condition of the lower guard spring. If the guard and the spring are not operating properly, they must be serviced before use. Lower guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of debris. 4. Lower guard should be Retracted manually only for special cuts such as "Pocket Cuts" and "Compound Cuts." Raise lower guard by retracting Lever. As soon as blade enters the material, lower guard must be released. For all other sawing, the lower guard should operate automatically. 5. Always observe that the lower guard is covering the blade before placing saw down on bench or floor. An unprotected, coasting blade will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it takes for the blade to stop after switch is released. 6. NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control. 7. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator. 8. When ripping always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and reduces the chance for blade binding. 9. Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond vs. round) arbor holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control. 10. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts. The blade washers and bolt were specially designed for your saw, for optimum performance and safety of operation. 11. Causes and Operator Prevention of Kickback: Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound, or misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator. When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator. If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator. Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below: Maintain a firm grip on the saw and position your body and arm in a way that allows you to resist KICKBACK forces. KICKBACK forces can be controlled by the operator, if proper precautions are taken. When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the work or pull the saw backward while the blade is in motion or KICKBACK may occur. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf and check that teeth are not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or KICKBACK from the workpiece as the saw is restarted. Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching and KICKBACK. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge of the panel as shown in Fig. 1. To minimize the risk of blade pinching and kickback. When cutting operation requires the resting of the saw on the workpiece, the saw shall be rested on the larger portion and the smaller piece cut off. Fig. 1 To avoid kickback, do support board or panel near the cut. 5 Push the saw forward at a speed so that the blade cuts without slowing. 12. Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition, because it does not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet. Fig. 2 Do not support board or panel away from the cut. Do not use dull or damaged blade. Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade binding and KICKBACK. Keep blade sharp and clean. Gum and wood pitch hardened on blades slows saw and increases potential for kickback. Keep blade clean by first removing it from tool, then cleaning it with gum and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene. Never use gasoline. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must be tight and secure before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it will cause binding and KICKBACK. Use extra caution when making a "Pocket Cut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade may cut objects that can cause KICKBACK. For pocket cuts, retract lower guard using Retracting Lever. ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with both hands. NEVER place your hand or fingers behind the saw. If kickback occurs, the saw could easily jump backwards over your hand, leading to serious personal injury. 13. Use extra caution when cutting damp wood, pressure treated lumber, or wood containing knots. Adjust speed of cut to maintain smooth advancement of tool without decrease in blade speed. 14. Adjustments. Before cutting be sure depth and bevel adjustments are tight. 15. Avoid Cutting Nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting. 16. The tool is provided with a front grip (motor housing) and rear handle for two hand operation. Operate with proper hand support and proper workpiece support. WARNING: It is important to support the workpiece properly and to hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of control which could cause personal injury. Fig. 4 illustrates typical hand support of the saw. Fig. 4 A typical illustration of proper hand support and workpiece support. Fig. 3 Never force the saw. Forcing the saw can cause uneven cuts, loss of accuracy, and possible kickback. 6 17. Place the wider portion of the saw base on that part of the workpiece which is solidly supported, not on the section that will fall off when the cut is made. As examples, Fig. 5 illustrates the RIGHT way to cut off the end of a board, and Fig. 6 the WRONG way. If the workpiece is short or small, clamp it down. DO NOT TRY TO HOLD SHORT PIECES BY HAND! extremely dangerous and can lead to serious accidents. Fig. 7 Fig. 5 19. WARNING: Blade coasts to stop after switch is released. Contact with coasting blade can cause serious injury. Before setting the tool down after completing a cut, be sure that the lower (telescoping) guard has closed and the blade has come to a complete stop. Fig. 6 18. Never attempt to saw with the circular saw held upside down in a vise. This is 20. Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury.

CAUTION: Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released. To install the blade, follow the removal procedure in reverse. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT CLOCKWISE SECURELY. When changing blade, make sure to also clean upper and lower blade guards of accumulated sawdust. Such efforts do not, however, replace the need to check lower guard operation before each use. 001451 Hex wrench storage When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the figure to keep it from being lost. 1 1. Hex Wrench OPERATION • • 001469 1 2 3 1. Rear handle 2. Front grip(motor housing) 3. Base CAUTION: Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result in overheating the motor and dangerous kickback, possibly causing severe injury. If the tool is operated continuously until the battery cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery. Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front grip (motor housing) and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. If both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by the blade. Set the base on the workpiece to be cut without the blade making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the blade attains full speed. Now simply move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed. To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the blade and lead to dangerous kickback and possible serious injury. Release switch, wait for blade to stop and then withdraw tool. Realign tool on new cut line, and start cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning which exposes operator to chips and wood dust being ejected from saw. Use eye protection to help avoid injury. MAINTENANCE • CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance. 13 To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) - A Cabinet-level task force will give President Bush its ideas about how to improve corporate accounting and disclosure rules in the next few weeks, Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill said Wednesday.
"I don't believe we have a widespread problem" with accounting, he said, despite recent high-profile cases such as Enron
"We have some cracks we need to fix," he said. "I don't think they'll be an enduring problem in the financial markets."
Still, O'Neill said the administration is taking the problem seriously.
In early January, Bush asked O'Neill, Commerce Secretary Don Evans and others at the Federal Reserve, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to advise him on possible changes in corporate disclosure laws, rules or enforcement.
"We believe that a basic, fundamental tenet of our economic system is that people can rely on the numbers," O'Neill said.
"We have to ensure that this economy has a sense of trust," Evans said.


text: After meeting with Nathaniel and Taldi, I knew we had an instant connection. Adventurous, outdoor-loving, travelers, ski tourers and mountaineers, it's hard to keep them out of the mountains. They live here in Washington but will be tying the knot in the Tetons this summer and I couldn't be more excited to tag along. After tossing around several ideas for their engagement session and even having to reschedule due to a crazy blizzard, we settled on West Seattle engagement photos at sunset near their home in the city. After all, most of the photos they have of each other are in the mountains, so the contrast is certainly lovely! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect evening. As the sun set behind the Olympic Mountains, the connection between these two was more vibrant than ever. They are a perfect match and I'm so honored to be a part of their journey together.

Public Works has started a project that tries to fix an egregious difficulty in bid application for military equipment procurement.
The change in the procurement process is being applied to the Integrated Soldier System Project, or ISSP, a program that will purchase various sensors and communications devices for the troops. The $316-million project was set to announce the winning bidders in December, but all bids on that project were rejected by Public Works in January. Because all bids were rejected, the project is being restarted.
It shouldn't have been a surprise that the bids were rejected because of the extremely detailed nature of the application process. If any part of the paperwork is rejected – which in this case includes over 2500 requirements – the entire project must be resubmitted.
One submitter, Thales Canada, had provided the names of all 30 staff who would be working on the project as a part of their application. Overzealously, they even listed their health and safety officer, who was found to lack the correct security clearance. Because of this oversight their entire submission was deemed noncompliant.
The vice-president of external relations for Thales Canada, Conrad Bellehumeur, complains: "You put in thousands of hours, and in our case we spent millions of dollars in preparing for the bid submission and providing equipment for testing, and then to have it all thrown out for something that is a minor error doesn't make sense."
The Public Works update now underway will allow bidders to submit updates to their applications. This is designed to prevent rejection and reapplication because of small errors in paperwork.
Members of the defence industry have long complained that the procurement system doesn't have the needed flexibility and is too draconian. Bellehumeur and other industry executives said they hope the change is applied to other military procurements. However, Public Works has specified that "This approach [the process update] is used with ISSP requirement on a pilot project basis only…the results will be closely monitored and taken into consideration in our efforts to continuously improve the way we procure."
The change in the ISSP procurement process follows Thales Canada's preparation to file a lawsuit against Public Works regarding bid rejection.

|How it feels to be held.
His arms around her. That's all she really wants, all she really needs. The ring he will slip onto her finger to claim her as his; the vows that will bind them to each other; the piece of paper that will tell the world that they belong to each other; the baby that his seed will create and her body will nurture - more than all of these, she needs him, his arms around her. In his arms is the promise of all of these things, and more. In his arms is the vow that he will love her, honour her, comfort and protect her, for all of his living days. In his arms is the caress that only a lover can give, brimming with passion and desire, but filled, too, with tenderness and warmth. In his arms is the longing to hold her forever and never let go. In his arms is his love for her, undying, unrelenting, unconditional. Only in his arms can she let herself love him with all of her heart, body, mind, soul. Only in his arms is she safe enough to open herself to him and to loving him, wholly and completely. Only in his arms can she make herself totally vulnerable, reassured by the knowledge that even at her weakest, he will keep her safe. In his arms she feels that she will never be alone again, because she is his and always will be. Tweet

Everyone's Excited To Hear About New Babies! 01:49
Why tell your parents that you're expecting a child when you could get them to tell themselves with a word game? This daughter was playing a word game with her family and excitedly waited as they read out a phrase that sounded like "My daughter is pregnant." This is a game everyone wins.
Then, this mom has some news to tell one of her boys. The news isn't that the house is cleaned, as one of the other kids said, it's that she's expecting a new baby! He wants to know if that "makes her heart happy?" and how could it not when you're faced with a reaction that sweet?

Part of the firm's RhinoClean Green line of screen-cleaning products, SWG 220 can be used immediately after a press run or to remove dried-on water-based ink from screen frames. The product is water soluble, evaporates slowly to maximize yield, has a high flash point, and reportedly leaves no residue to prevent ghost images.

This Network event was an informal evening of music and discussion about the politics and practicalities of housing. Lauren has been researching housing policy and provision, with a focus on the under-representation of particular demographics, such as households made up of adults who are not related but rent a property together.
– Who are new houses built for?
– Do they relate to the ways we live now and will need or want to live in the future?
– How can we develop new approaches to housing which support different demographics?
The event will took place across the different rooms of an empty Victorian terraced house. During the evening activists, academics and housing professionals will led conversations about the UK's housing culture, presented alternative approaches, and invited people to share their own experiences and ideas.

Loading Clock Preview...
"Tombstone" Clock
Type : SevenGem
Description :
The clock's display is short and stocky. The clock has a nice amount of padding at the edges. There is a good amount of space between the digits of the clock's display, so the digits have plenty of breathing room. The clock has an edge glow effect. The edge glow is fairly opaque. The color of the edge glow is close to fire brick, with a hint of saddle brown and brown. It is very fat and extends close to the center, leaving a small window clear in the middle. The clock has a color grid effect as a background. The color at the top left corner is white. The color at the top right corner is close to dark grey, with a hint of silver and rosy brown. The color at the bottom left corner is close to fire brick, with a hint of brown and saddle brown. The color at the bottom right corner is black. The digits of the clock's display are made up of several segments. The digits are quite transparent, so one can still see fairly clearly what is beneath them. Their color is close to linen, with a hint of misty rose and old lace. There is a negative gap between the digit segments, which results in them overlapping. The digit segments have a drop shadow. The direction of the shadow is close to southwest. The shadow is offset very slightly. The shadow is so blurred and soft that it is barely distinguishable as a shadow. The shadow has a fair amount of spread, adding strength. The color of the shadow is close to black, with a hint of maroon and dark red. The shadow is completely opaque, and should feel very strong. The digit segments have two inset shadows. First, let's describe the first of the inset shadows. The direction of the shadow is southeast. The shadow is offset by a modest amount. The shadow is ever so slightly blurred, but the edge is still quite discernible. The color of the shadow is close to light pink, with a hint of navajo white and peach puff. The shadow is quite transparent, and subtle as a result. Now, let's describe the second of the inset shadows. The direction of the shadow is northwest. The shadow is offset very slightly. The shadow is blurred a lot, so that it blends nicely into the surroundings. The color of the shadow is black. The shadow is very opaque, and should feel quite strong.
The SevenGem clock combines a seven segment display for the digits, a four corner color smooth gradient background, and an edge glow with themeable color, thickness, and opacity. The individual segments of the digits support theming by color, opacity, border width, border radius, segment thickness, segment gap, two inset shadows, and one drop shadow. Additionally, digit spacing, overall clock aspect ratio, and edge padding can also be themed.

Conversion Logic Selected by Social Gaming Network (SGN) as Media Attribution Platform
SGN Will Utilize Start-Up's Real-Time, Cross Channel Attribution Platform to Measure Media Effectiveness in Driving Downloads of It's Top-Selling Games
LOS ANGELES (September 16, 2015)–Marketwire-– Social Gaming Network (SGN) choses Conversion Logic, the media industry's most intuitive cross-channel attribution platform for media attribution. SGN will leverage the Conversion Logic platform to measure the effectiveness of its media buys across the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Australia in driving downloads of its top- selling Juice Jam and Cookie Jam games. Founded by Chris DeWolfe, who was previously the CEO and co-founder of MySpace, SGN has had more than 500 million installations of its games.
As the industry's first real-time attribution provider, Conversion Logic brings a new approach to solving the complexities of cross channel attribution, providing actionable intelligence in real- time rather than days or weeks. Media channels SGN will be analyzing within the Conversion Logic platform, include, buys across mobile, social, display and offline inventory. Built with the media practitioner in mind, Conversion Logic is also the first to deploy an Ensemble Method of data analysis for media attribution. The Ensemble Method provides superior predictive accuracy through a "wisdom of crowds" approach that combines traits of multiple established algorithms rather than relying on a single algorithmic model.
"Conversion Logic has taken a different and smarter approach to attribution that focuses on serving up actionable results that allow us to optimize our media mix," said Josh Brooks, SVP brand strategy & marketing at SGN. "I'm a big fan of their tech and what they are doing for us at SGN"
Since launch in 2014, Conversion Logic has worked with more than a dozen clients including both brands and media agencies. The company's media agnostic platform allows advertisers to analyze their entire media mix including display, search, social, mobile, online video, radio and TV to quickly identify where results are coming from.
"Advertisers that are waiting days if not weeks to determine the effectiveness of their media buys are leaving money on the table and ceding ground to more nimble competitors," said Trevor Testwuide, CEO and co-founder of Conversion Logic. "We are excited to work with SGN and look forward to helping the company continue to grow its business."

19 January 2014 – The Times
Metro, the upstart high street lender, has raised nearly £400m of fresh funding ahead of a London float in 2016. The cash is thought to have come from existing investors, which include the fund manager Fidelity, the hedge fund Moore Capital and the billionaire Reuben brothers. The £388m fundraising values the four-year-old bank at £770m.
The founder Vernon Hill, a US financial services veteran, said Metro would use the cash to speed up its assault on the high street banks. The 25th branch opened in Milton Keynes last week. It aims to have 35 by the year-end and will "step up" expansion in 2015, Hill said. The target is £25bn of deposits by 2020. "Our growth rates have far exceeded our expectations. Americans love to buy growth companies, and there aren't many of those in financial services in Europe right now," said Hill, whose stake will be reduced from 13% to 9% after the fundraising.
