The principle behind VoIP is simple. Calls are placed over the Internet instead of using dedicated voice lines to do the job. This is easy to understand once we realized that all information can be digitized and sent as a signal over a wire. In fact, this also happens with regular voice - your sound signals are encoded and sent over a wire. With the Internet, such things become easy and voice communication can happen in real time just as with a normal phone.
** Crown Equity Holdings Inc. (CRWE) reported that it has entered into a 50/50 joint venture agreement to deploy VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology delivering voice, video and data services to residential and commercial customers.
The joint venture company is Crown Tele Services Incorporated, which looks forward to building an outstanding team to develop and deliver voice and video over IP services globally.
According to IBISWorld Industry Reports, Digital voice will be the fastest growing U.S. industry in the next five years. Voice over Internet Protocol leads the list of the ten most dynamic industries with revenue in 2010 of nearly $12.5 billion dollars, growth 2000 - 2010 of 194% and forecast growth 2010 - 2016 of 17.6%
VoIP industry is fast augmenting and hence it may assure a definite hike in the revenue generation to any organization that steps into this field.
Crown Equity Holdings , together with its digital network of Websites, offers advertising branding and marketing services as a worldwide online multi-media publisher.

LSB Financial Corp. (Nasdaq:LSBI) reported quarterly earnings of $477,000 or $0.31 diluted earnings per share compared to $457,000 or $0.29 diluted earnings per share a year earlier.

The largest positive impact on our income comes from low market interest rates which translated into a $579, 000 increase in our net interest margin year-to-date and a $163,000 increase for the quarter, primarily because of lower interest rates on deposits and borrowings.

Asda launches mobile grocery site for smartphones

Posted about 23 hours ago by kimtopps to kimtopps's posterous


Asda has launched a mobile optimised transactional grocery site, allowing customers to buy Asda groceries online using a smartphone.


Responding to this trend, Asda's new mobile-optimised site offers all of the features on the main Asda.com grocery website, allowing customers to register, shop and amend an existing order or delivery slot up until 10pm the day before their delivery is due.
Asda's grocery home shopping service has been in operation since 2001 and covers 97% of UK postcodes with deliveries.
The new mobile optimised site also includes a mobile store locator, offering maps and directions so customers can find their nearest Asda when they're out.
Kate Cuthbertson, Asda's head of mobile strategy, said: "The mobile site was an international collaboration between Asda and the Walmart mobile team based in the US. We'll be constantly updating and improving the site over the next few months, with lots more interesting mobile developments to follow soon."
The move follows the launch of the Asda Price Guarantee iPhone App which has been downloaded by more than 250,000 customers since October 2010.

A Summer Lunch For Two

Posted about 21 hours ago by kimtopps to kimtopps's posterous

When I was a little girl, I loved day trips. Sometimes it was the beach, other times the countryside. I loved packing lunches and even then, I expected to have multiple courses and snacks to munch on throughout the day. In retrospect, I think food was actually the thing I looked forward to the most, more so than the destination itself.

A few days ago, as I was completely submerged in writing, I looked up at my computer screen. "It is 4 o'clock and I have not left the house all day!" I thought. Seems to happen often these days.
Kids arrived home shortly after. They craved my attention, but my mind was elsewhere. It is hard to come out of your head when you have been in it for so many hours, isn't it? I asked the babysitter to stay a bit longer and I decided to go for a run to clear my head.
I thought of those day trips and the outdoor lunches in the summer heat. Sometimes even on the side of the road, close to a stream, or under an oak tree. I remembered my dad cutting melon slices for all of us while my mom finished her lunch. An array of small plates and nibbles always followed by a tart or shortbread we took from our family's pastry shop.

The following day, I woke up knowing I still had lots of work to do, but thought it would be fun to prepare a quick meal Miren and I could eat outside. Partly for her, but mostly for me. Just to get a break and some fresh air.
We had ripe heirloom tomatoes that I blended into a gazpacho with cucumber, scallions, fresh herbs, and a drizzle of avocado oil. Toasted gluten-free bread , rubbed juicy tomato all over it, and topped it with shaved Idiazabal . Miren's favorite.
We also enjoyed a simple salad with greens, berries, and pan seared salmon. And for dessert, plum and currant crumble.
"One for you, one for me."

Chilled Heirloom Tomato Soup
Serves 2
3 medium heirloom tomatoes, stem removed and diced
1/2 cucumber, diced
3 scallions, diced
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
small bunch of oregano
2 sprigs thyme
salt pepper
avocado oil, to garnish
2 slices toasted bread
Idiazabal or Manchego cheese, shaved
Puree all ingredients in the blender and chill for 1 hour.
Serve with toasted bread rubbed with tomato and shaved Manchego cheese.
Salmon and Berry Salad
Serves 2
8 ounces wild-caught salmon (mine was Coho)
2 cup mixed greens (frisee, baby romaine, watercress, arugula, parsley...)
1/4 cup yellow raspberries
1/4 cup blackberries
1/4 cup red currants
1 scallion, sliced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for salmon
salt and pepper
In a small saute pan, cook the salmon for 2 minutes (depending on the thickness) with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium high heat. Flip over and finish cooking for another 2 minutes. Set aside.
In a bowl, toss together the greens and all the berries.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, vinegar and olive oil. Drizzle the vinaigrette over salad. Season with salt. Toss to combine and top with seared salmon pieces.
Red Plum, Currant, and Almond Crumble
Serves 4
1/2 cup (70 grams) superfine brown rice flour
3/4 cup (70 grams) almond meal
1/3 cup (70 grams) natural cane sugar
5 Tbs (70 grams) cold unsalted butter, diced
6 red plums, pit removed and sliced
1/4 cup red currants
1/4 cup white currants
1 Tbs natural cane sugar
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped
1 Tbs lemon juice
1 Tbs cornstarch
Preheat oven to 400F (220C).
In the food processor, combine the first four ingredients and pulse until it forms a crumbly sand. Transfer to a bowl and chill until ready to use.
Toss the rest of ingredients in a bowl. Divide amongst 4 (8-ounce) bowls. Top with crumble.
Bake for 30 minutes until filling bubbling and crumble is golden.

English Peas, Buckwheat Greens And A Strawberry Tart

Posted about 13 hours ago by kimtopps to kimtopps's posterous

It has been quite hectic around here.
During these past couple of weeks, I have had to park my book writing routine aside to focus on a couple of other projects I am super excited about. I wish I could share more, but we will have to wait. All I can say is that it involves a major magazine and I had a blast.
However, all of this has taken a bit of a toll on me.

When I woke up Sunday, I felt as though I had run a marathon. Sore and exhausted.
C. encouraged me to take some time for myself in the morning. He took the kids and I headed to the farmers' market. I find it relaxing to walk around, people watch and get inspired by the produce and talking to the farmers I have come to know this year.

Unfortunately, it was the last day of the market. Yes, when the rest of the country is just now gearing up for their growing season, ours is coming to an end. Well, not exactly. Things will still grow in the summer, but much slower and not so abundant. Most of the farmers I know take the summer off to travel and learn from other farmers.
As it was the last day, I indulged in everything I saw. The usual suspects such as eight ball zucchini, heirloom tomatoes, strawberries, mulberries, farm eggs, kale, beets, english peas... But I also found buckwheat greens .

This was the first time I had even seen buckwheat greens. Beautiful greens with tiny little flowers.
As I started to read about them, I found out that they can be somewhat toxic when consumed in large amounts and that is why they are not recommended in juicing. However, a small amount can be beneficial.
Sunday night, I made a quick soup with English peas and buckwheat greens. The soup was tasty and mild. Spinach or even lettuce would work just as well.

When Monday came around, I was ready to start testing more recipes for the book.
I really feel so lucky to be able to do what I love. Time flies when I am working and enjoy every second of it.
But when time flies, lunch must also be quick. Crushed pea, cherry tomato and goat cheese tartines to go with leftover soup from the night before. I blanched some English peas in salted boiling water, then crushed them with a fork. Mixed with goat cheese, scallions, olive oil, salt and pepper on toasted gluten-free bread.

I was testing a new tart dough and with the leftovers, I made a quick almond and strawberry tartlet that Miren and I had for dessert. Took a couple of chairs outside and had an impromptu picnic in the back lawn.
Then back to work.
English Pea and Buckwheat Greens Soup
Serves 4
2 Tbs olive oil
1 leek, white part only diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 medium potato, peeled and diced
2 cups shelled peas
2 cups buckwheat greens or spinach
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
5 sprigs thyme leaves
3 cups chicken stock
Goat cheese, optional
Chopped scallions, optional
Olive oil
In a small pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the leek and the garlic and cook for 3 minutes until soft.
Add the rest of the ingredients and bring the liquid to a boil. Cover the pot, reduce heat to medium low and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until soft.
Puree the soup. Serve with chopped scallions, goat cheese, drizzle of olive oil, and toasted bread.

Strawberry and Almond Tart
Makes 6 3-inch tartlets
Pie crust of your choice (mine was gluten free)
? cup (110 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
? cup (110 g) natural cane sugar
1 egg
? tsp almond extract
1 cup (110 g) almond flour
1 Tbs (10 g) tapioca starch
? tsp salt
2 cups sliced strawberries
Pre-heat oven to 400F.
In a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar with the paddle attachment until light. Add the egg and almond extract and mix until combined. Add the dry ingredients and mix.
Roll out the pie dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut 6 4-inch disks and fill tart molds with them. Cut off excess dough.
Fill the tart molds with frangipane and arrange the sliced strawberries on top. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until crust golden.

Dear friends,


It's outrageous! This morning, Anna Hazare was arrested as he set out to fast for the Jan Lokpal. The government is trying to repress our clamour to end coruption. Let's show the government we will not be silenced. Sign the urgent petition to free Anna and Free India of Corruption!

It's outrageous! Anna Hazare has been arrested and is being held in an undisclosed location. But as he was taken away he said:

"Don't let my arrest stop this movement. This is the nation's second struggle for freedom."

Let's heed his call to action -- if we all now stand with Anna and show that we will not be silenced, we will force the government to free him and listen to the demands of the people.

Sign the urgent petition to PM Manmohan Singh and Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi to Free Anna, then send this to everyone -- it will be delivered directly to them:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/free_anna/?vl

The government is trying to repress our nation-wide clamour to end corruption. This morning Anna Hazare was arrested by plain clothes policemen as he set out to begin his fast in support of the Jan Lokpal Bill. His top aides were also arrested and reports say over 3,000 people are being held in Chhatrasal stadium. Now protests are exploding across the country.

This is a shocking response from the government -- instead of upholding our legal right to fast and protest, and supporting our demands to end corruption, it is clamping down on our democratic rights and illegally arresting our brave non violent leaders.

But we are millions and we are determined to rid this country of repression and corruption. Let's show the government the power of people power. Sign the urgent petition to Free Anna and Free India of Corruption now and send this to everyone:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/free_anna/?vl

Today we all have a choice -- stand by and watch the government stifle our democracy, or join this national movement to free India from the poison of corruption. Let's make sure we all stand on the right side of history -- join the urgent call to Free Anna and Free India of Corruption now.

With hope and determination,

Ricken, Shibayan, Alice, Pascal and the entire Avaaz team

Monterey: Bugatti Veyron L'Or Blanc drips exclusivity

Posted about 20 hours ago by rovenlunger to rovenlunger's posterous

Filed under: Coupe , Performance , Bugatti , Design/Style , Luxury
At first glance, this Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport appears to be one of those special chrome-clad customs giving off a series of strange, wavy reflections from a series of overhead lights. Upon closer inspection, however, that's not the light playing tricks on you - it's the two-tone finish, which looks like it's been spread across the Veyron L'Or Blanc by a cake baker's frosting knife.
This one-off "white gold" Grand Sport is the result of Bugatti working with Germany's Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur , a centuries-old porcelain producer based in Berlin. In addition to the special two-tone paint, pieces of ceramic trim have been fitted to the car's exterior, and the fragile, creamy white stuff is slathered inside of this €1.65 missile, too.
The Veyron L'Or Blanc was first shown in late June at KPM's operations before being brought to America for display at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering in Monterey.
No word yet on whether this particular car has found a buyer, but given Bugatti's penchant for creating a seemingly endless stream of "limited-edition" Veyrons, we're confident they'll find a way to build you one if you flash them enough cash.

Where not to spend your bank holiday: a guide to Britain's worst days out

Posted about 19 hours ago by kimtopps to kimtopps's posterous


Crap Days Out celebrates the worst tourist traps Britain has to offer ? but having a miserable bank holiday weekend is as British as half-cut morris dancers, says co-author Gareth Rubin
"And that's Stonehenge!" I announced. "Is it?" replied Maria. "It's a bit small and rubbish, isn't it?" "Yes," I said proudly. "It is."
It was the August bank holiday three years ago and I was showing my Polish girlfriend one of the jewels of Britain's heritage. She was, undeniably, right.
Because Stonehenge, so far as you can tell from the distant perimeter rope where the public are kept back like undesirables outside a feast, sums up quite a lot about British tourist attractions: they are always smaller than you expect and usually a bit rubbish.
Where America has Disneyland, Mount Rushmore and the Statue of Liberty, we have nudist beaches in Scotland, the William and Kate walking tour and the Premier Inn honeymoon package. Yet, for some reason, it is their lack of ambition that makes us rather proud of them. Standing with Maria, who was looking somewhere between disappointed and contemptuous, I realised that what was needed was a guide to Britain's worst tourist attractions. On the sullen, silent train journey home I came up with Crap Days Out.
After months of subjecting myself to waxworks exhibitions, "destination" shopping malls and Britain's only museum of creationism, however, I realised that documenting the very worst that Britain has to offer was a job too big for one man. So I roped in my ex-flatmate, Jon Parker. We bought more than 30 guide books to Britain, joined internet forums and scoured the websites of town councils, sporting bodies and local historical associations to track down the obscure one-room museum as well as the big-name theme park. Over the course of a year we visited too many to remember ? there are more than 200 days out in the book, ranging from "ludicrous" to "how can they sleep at night?" ? and had a generally miserable time.
Mostly when I explained the project to people they would become very excited and ask if we were including the horrific local attraction that had blighted their childhood. Had it not been for tip-offs I would never have heard of the Isle of Wight garlic festival or the Isle of Man's Old House of Keys. Indeed, it became clear that the very words "Isle of" had a certain portent about them. They came to suggest a sense of proud localism that dried up on the mainland 100 years ago when people started moving to other counties for work, rather than other villages. That Wight is so proud of its output of Allium sativum makes you wonder why the maids of Kent no longer exult in hop harvests, or the men of Harlech sing no more of defending Wales against Norman invaders.
The attractions generally fell into two camps: awful by accident or awful by design. It is not Edinburgh's fault that Hogmanay rolls around at the coldest part of the year in one of the chilliest parts of Britain; it certainly is Madame Tussauds' fault that it charges nearly ?30 for an adult ticket to view what amount to novelty candles, making the attraction one of the few places where a slow-burning fire would be welcome.
Statistical analysis proves that London, unsurprisingly, is the epicentre of the deliberately evil camp. It is the capital's stranglehold on tourism that enables Buckingham Palace to charge taxpayers, who are already paying for the upkeep of the state rooms, up to ?65 to see their money being spent on corgis. The most accidentally disappointing region turned out to be the south-west, with the Somme-like conditions of the Glastonbury festival competing avidly with the Cerne Abbas Giant hill carving ? which is invisible unless you are 130ft tall ? and the curious optimism of the Bournemouth sewage works tour.
Scotland, however, is the surprise success story of the book, punching above its weight with around 20 entries. It even crosses into the territory of imaginary attractions, enticing thousands of people each year to spend days sitting beside Loch Ness trying to spot something that they know doesn't exist.
Among the dross we also found a few gems. The museum of creationism was the Genesis Expo in Portsmouth. It provided a fascinating insight into a system of belief that gets short shrift in the mainstream press. It is wrong to base opinions purely on prejudice, so it was pleasing to visit and have all my prejudices confirmed by evidence.
I also became strangely fond of Birmingham's Wattelisk. Surely one of the oddest ways imaginable to commemorate a 19th-century engineer who helped drive the industrial revolution is to produce a statue of him in the form of a large stone totem pole. But that didn't stop the visionary sculptor behind this piece of extraordinary silliness dedicated to James Watt. It might be just what Watt would have wanted ? but then again it might not.
There were also some places we were unable to visit. We wanted to go to the Lapland New Forest theme park. It had, however, shut down six days after opening and by the time we were writing the book its owners were being successfully prosecuted for misleading the public and making hundreds of children cry. Instead we had to rely on eyewitness accounts, such as that from one woman who told the press: "Two fake large plastic polar bears were hidden behind a chain link fence, the nativity scene was a large picture far across an inaccessible muddy field and the majority of the food was out of fairground vans selling frozen burgers. I thought this was the introduction, I didn't realise I was inside."
The raw experiences of our visits were supplemented with painful, until-then-suppressed memories from childhood of being stuck in bank holiday traffic for hours with the distant promise of seeing half-cut morris men stagger about a village fete. Again, talking to people over the year, it became apparent that these were shared experiences that cut across geography, social class and age, proving an underlying national unity far stronger than that seen at all the royal weddings of the past 100 years put together.
Overall, though, we tried not to make the book too nasty ? it gets nasty at times, but mostly when the attraction itself is a bit nasty. Really we were documenting something about Britain: the fact that it's smaller than you think and often a bit rubbish. But it keeps smiling while it's bumbling along without a great deal of ambition.

Jules Birch on the functional benefits of beauty water

Posted about 17 hours ago by kimtopps to kimtopps's posterous


For many, the first time the phrase ?beauty water? was heard was when Works with Water launched ready to drink Beauty Water in 2006.


Bill Bruce talks to Works with Water Nutraceuticals? Jules Birch.
?Works with Water and ready to drink Beauty Water were a cover story for Beverage Innovation, and in the 2008 Water Innovation Awards. What made you move away from RTD and opt for soluble supplements?
Jules Birch: As we required aseptic production (and there are limited contract manufacturers in the UK with aseptic production facilities), we either had to source a partner in mainland Europe or look for a solution where we had greater control over production and quality.
Customer feedback indicated people were buying our products for their health benefits. For example, consumers who were not necessarily bottled water purchasers were buying our blood pressure spring water specifically for the blood pressure maintenance benefit. So, allowing them to add our soluble formulations to their beverage was a logical solution.
The Help range works in three areas: helping to manage blood pressure, cholesterol and improve the skin. Please explain the science and target audience behind them.
Birch: Help: Blood Pressure?s target audience is for those diagnosed with elevated blood pressure or with a history of hypertension or heart problems in the family. The key ingredient, lactotripeptides, reduces the chemical that causes blood vessels to narrow and constrict.
Help: Cholesterol is again for anyone with an elevated cholesterol count and/or have a history within the family. This formulation contains barley beta glucan, which interferes with the absorption of cholesterol from the gut and reduces re-absorption of cholesterol made in the liver.
Help: Clear Skin can do exactly that if you suffer from acne. Unlike blood pressure or cholesterol, that are essentially ?invisible? problems unless diagnosed, acne and spots are all too visible and our target customers range from teens to 30+ sufferers who are seeking natural alternatives to topical treatments and prescription medication. The key ingredient is rich in lactoferrin and helps limit the growth of acne bacteria due to its antimicrobial effect.
You?ve achieved some impressive listings and strong online presence, but do consumers understand and trust the claims made by functional products?
Birch: Unfortunately, there is definitely a suspicion that many claims are ?too good to be true?. And yet, many are looking to maintain health naturally and seeking alternatives to prescription medication. So, it?s important that the consumer understands the science behind the claims, has confidence in claims approval, and that the health benefit is worth the purchase.
Health and functional claims are under the regulatory and media microscope more than ever. Are there challenges ahead in proving or justifying claims? Could the industry and its suppliers do more to make health, beauty and anti-ageing drinks better accepted?
Birch: Well, this is where EFSA opinions are supposed to cut through the confusion across claims. The remit and aims are laudable, but the confusion remains. We?re just hoping that sanity and clear thinking prevail for the good of our industry and the consumer.
Niche categories always attract ?me-too? products. Are you surprised how few functional waters with beauty and anti-ageing claims have hit the shelves?
Birch: Not really, given our experience of finding the right contract manufacturer to handle complex ingredients in such an unforgiving vehicle as water. That?s probably the reason for the plethora of vitamin waters we've seen during the past few years.
In our experience, consumers seeking beauty/anti-ageing benefits in a bottled water are looking for a clear, clean presentation and mouthfeel. They definitely don?t want a beverage with strong flavours and a high sweetness level.
Which innovations in packaged water have interested you and do you see any trends emerging?
Birch: I?m interested in those delivering benefits in a user-friendly format such as the quick-release caps. However, there are limitations with regards to fill-capacity to enable sufficient dose delivery, so development work on these is ongoing.
What's next for Works with Water?
Birch: We?re still exploring the opportunities in RTD. However, our latest new product development is in the area of water-based gels in a form-fill-seal delivery. Launching in Boots and Waitrose in the UK this month, they're causing a stir with buyers, and we hope consumers embrace them with the same fervour.

Started on aircraft and although I tried other kit subjects I eventually progressed onto cars, which I have been doing ever since. My first car kit was the 1:24 scale Tamiya Mini Cooper, but it didn't go well and I no longer have it although I have bought 3 such kits since.

A Chocolate And Tahini Tart For Mikey

Posted about 15 hours ago by kimtopps to kimtopps's posterous

I woke up Monday morning to the sad news that Jennie Perillo's husband Mikey had passed away hours before. Suddenly, just like that, he was gone. The news left me paralyzed. I didn't know Mikey personally, but I thought about Jennie, their girls, and their family. I put myself in their shoes and could feel the pain almost as mine.
And today in Mikey's memory, the blogsphere is filling up with love-filled peanut butter pies -- his favorite. In Jennie's words "make a peanut butter pie this Friday and share it with someone you love. Then hug them like there's no tomorrow because today is the only guarantee we can count on"
We will be doing that with this chocolate and tahini mousse tart. No peanut butter in our pantry, but it doesn't matter, as it's all about love and what we are and what we have now -- Right now.

Our love goes to you and your family Jennie. You know Mikey is smiling.
Gluten-Free Chocolate and Tahini Tart
Makes a 7-inch tart
Chocolate Pastry
1 cup (140 g) superfine brown rice flour
2 Tbs (20 g) potato starch
2 Tbs (15 g) tapioca starch
2 Tbs (10 g) Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
8 Tbs (115 g) unsalted butter, cold and diced
1/2 cup (125 ml) ice cold water
Place the first five ingredients in the food processor and pulse a couple of times to combine. Add the butter and pulse 10 times until the butter is cut into pea-size pieces. Add the ice water while pulsing. You might not need all of it so reserve a couple of tablespoons. The dough will not form a ball, but should stick together when pressed but not be too wet.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap and flatten it a bit with your hand. Refrigerate the dough for about 1 hour.
Roll out the dough to about 1/4 to 1/8-inch thickness and fill the tart mold with it. If the dough cracks, don't worry, just pinch it back together. It might happen if it's too cold. Return the tart mold to the refrigerator for another 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Cover the pastry with a piece of parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dry beans. Bake for 20 minutes, remove parchment and beans, and finish baking for another 8 minutes. Let the tart cool.

Chocolate and Tahini Mousse
10 ounces (300 g) bittersweet chocolate, I used 64%
1 Tbs tahini
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) heavy cream
In a heatproof bowl, melt the chocolate and tahini together over a water bath. Let it cool to room temperature.
Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Add the cooled chocolate into the cream and fold together until smooth. Work quickly and make sure not to over fold it over the mousse will break. Transfer the mousse to a pastry bag fitted with a plain tip and fill the tart mold, or simple spoon the mousse into the mold.
Chill the tart for 30 minutes and serve.
