Dear Furiends, I'd like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas!
I've had a relaxing day… I waited for some turkey and then I enjoyed watching the puppies eat a puppy friendly Christmas dinner on the floor… after I had eaten, of course!
Then I enjoyed watching the humans play games from one of my favourite perches on the banister rail!
I hope you're all enjoying a magical Christmas!
Bisous, Bailey

This is not your typical Diversity Chic installment, but it's definitely for a good reason. I absolutely love the -ber months, even though the weather is spotty (and we've been taking our chances on this haha). It just means cooler weather is coming, the holidays are approaching, and styles are transitioning! I feel like we've entered a whole new bracket of DC for the year, and there's no better way to start off than with our first ever collab. In case you're unfamiliar with Diversity Chic, here's a little tidbit.
"Diversity Chic is a collaboration of Dallas bloggers showcasing current fashion trends on a variety of skin tones, hair colors, body types and heights. Each month we will feature a new trend tailored to our personalities and style.
Our focus is to explore the world of fashion in its unique, diverse, and stylish manner – one trend at a time."
Like I've mentioned earlier, this is not your typical Diversity Chic post. We've teamed up with Jamberry to show you not only their cute and innovative products, but their commitment to charity! I've always been impressed with companies that give back, and I'm happy to share that Jamberry is one of those companies. They have a great variety of charity-themed wraps, and it was honestly so hard to choose which one to use! I ended up having to do a mix and match of In This Together, Ribbons & Hearts, and Go Pink. For each wrap purchased, Jamberry will donate a portion of the proceeds to your local cancer charity to support women battling breast cancer. I actually have some relatives who have just gone in remission, so I'm very well aware that it runs in the family and that I have to be proactive myself. It's not easy for any cancer patient to have to go through what they do, but it definitely helps knowing that they get to have all the support they can get from family and friends, which is why I consider myself lucky to have amazing friends such as these girls who I know will just be there to empower me no matter what challenges come my way! They are absolutely some of the most supportive people I know, and if you read their stories (linked below) you'll be able to see what I'm talking about!
I've seen the mini-heater before in previous Jamberry parties but, you guys, I'm obsessed with how convenient it is! It makes nail wrap application sooo much easier.
Don't forget to check out Sevi, Valery, and Stephanie's posts to get more of their details!

Two people were killed in a barrage of gunfire Thursday night near Devoe Park in University Heights in the Bronx, cops say. One was 17, the other 22. The "hail of bullets," as the Post puts it, also caught a 40-year-old man, who was wounded in the leg. As of early this morning, cops hadn't released info on either a motive or arrests.

On Dogs, Pearls, and Pigs
Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before swine. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces. (Matthew 7:6 Berean Study Bible)
In His teachings about not judging others, Christ places a proviso – that having a non-judgmental spirit toward others cannot be a backdoor entry into indiscretion. He does not leave us the option to simply say, "Well, since I am not to judge others, then I suppose I am not responsible to identify anything specifically as truth or falsehood, or any action as moral or immoral." Christ does not leave us with that excuse.
If we did try and claim it – and many I know do take this approach, that in being non-judgmental they accept everything as being equally true – then even this command not to judge is meaningless. To be tolerant, gracious, patient, and self-effacing does not require us to be incapable of identifying truth from falsehood.
The best way to understand this command is to return to Christ's teachings in the start of His Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes. There we see the attitudes He is instructing His followers to adopt: admission of personal poverty of spirit, mourning for sin, meekness before God, hungering and thirsting for God's righteousness, mercifulness toward others, purity of heart (in the sense of receiving God's forgiveness), seeking to make peace between people and God and between people and other people, and even helping people achieve personal peace within themselves. This non-judgmental attitude toward others is simply these attitudes working themselves out in application.
"Dogs" were both considered indiscreet in their appetites and in their morals. Jews did not commonly have dogs as household pets, rather they were considered as scavengers. They could attach themselves with loyalty to some pack, or to some people, but there was no ability in their own soul to ascertain truth. The title seemed appropriate for the Gentile world as a whole, that though they could behave with decency in some circumstances, they did not have an understanding of God, or of truth, or of proper morality.
The Greeks and Romans that had conquered Israel and controlled Palestine in those years, would be an example of this. Though impressive in some of their philosophies, creative artistically and powerful militarily, they also had peppered the known world with brothels, and promoted the immoral rites of worship of some gods and goddesses. They could not be made partners in forming some new mix of religions.
"Swine" or "pigs" were unclean animals to the Jews, and they were likewise indiscreet in their appetites. They stood for those who cannot distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, or truth and falsehood.
"Pearls" were the nuggets of truth that could change a person's direction in life, that could bring repentance, conversion, grace and forgiveness, and a new hope. A "pearl" might also be a rebuke – given in the right way, of course, given by someone who had in repentance and meekness let God remove the beam from his own eye, and came to another in utter humility and with a desire to only help.
Proverbs says:
Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse,
and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury.
Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you;
reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser;
teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. (Proverbs 9:7-10 ESV)
Followers of Christ should be compassionate toward all, and loving toward all. We should proclaim the gospel to the whole world and to any one who will listen. But there is also the time and place when we should pull back from those who would take the message and corrupt it, who would twist it and use it as some excuse to persecute Christians.
This prophecy was fulfilled in the early church, for the Gentile world accused Christians of things such as cannibalism, on the basis of the observance of Communion. Christ's words, "This is my body, take eat," were misrepresented and rumours were spread to create fear and disgust among the population for the Christian faith. And many other Christian teachings in our day are being twisted and misrepresented – child discipline, marriage and family, and abortion and homosexuality – and the church is being painted in the colour of intolerance, rather than compassionate concern for what is right.
So, in conclusion, we should know where we stand and should show discretion and wisdom in who we speak with, and how we speak with them. Love and compassion should be modelled with patience and kindness toward others, yet we should not backdown from the truth. And we should be very careful of those who seek to join the unbelieving world and create some new religious paradigm. We must stand on the Word of God and on the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Swansea City fans are disappointed inside the Football Transfer Tavern following the news from Colin Young of the Daily Mail concerning Danny Graham's future.
Graham is understood to have travelled up to Wearside for a medical, with a £5.5 million switch considered all but done and dusted.
Graham, 27, played against Sunderland on Tuesday and found himself booed by Sunderland fans due to his former Middlesborough playing and Newcastle United supporting connections, but that has not stopped Martin O'Neill from pushing ahead with the deal.
Graham has been linked with a move away from Swansea for the duration of the transfer window, after reportedly growing frustrated at his lack of regular first team football.
He has played second fiddle for the majority of the season to Spanish forward Michu, although Michael Laudrup has often bought him on and been repaid with some important goals, including a League cup semi final goal at Stamford Bridge.
Laudrup has said he wanted Graham to stay, although it appears the striker has opted for a move away from the Liberty Stadium in search of more regular playing time.
The likes of Norwich City and QPR had also been linked with the forward, although now it appears Sunderland have won the race for his services.
Sunderland fans. What do you think of Graham's impending arrival? Let us know your thoughts below.

The Bravermans are gearing up to pack their bags and bid adieu to the small screen this upcoming season on Parenthood, and fans of the acclaimed NBC drama aren't the only ones having a hard time letting go.
"I don't think it really has sunk in yet. We've been doing it for so long and it's such an intensely personal show for everybody who's involved," showrunner Jason Katims tells TVGuide.com. "But on the other hand, I'm so excited that we have a final season."
TV shows we're losing this year
That excitement is partly because Parenthood almost didn't get picked up at all. Despite consistent praise from critics and impressive numbers airing opposite the powerhouse that is Scandal, the series was the last scripted show to be renewed by NBC for the fall. "There were times when I was convinced the show was not coming back," Katims recalls. "Everybody wanted the show to come back. We needed to figure out a way to make it work, to make the economics work to sort of do that, so it was really stressful."
However, fans' enthusiasm about the show's last-minute pick-up was dampened by the news that it would return for just one final season of 13 episodes. Katims, on the other hand, is optimistic. "I'm very happy to know that it's the final season because we can give it an ending and hopefully do these episodes in a way that will give the show the ending it deserves," he says. "In every other season, you're trying to balance out the catharsis with cliff-hangers. The final season, you don't really need a cliff hanger, you need catharsis."
Returning fall shows: Where we left off
That advance notice on the series' impending finale also affected just how Katims and the writers have approached possible story lines for Season 6. "There are a lot of higher-stakes stories this year just because of the fact that the show is ending," he says. "There are certain things, certain ideas I had going into it right from the beginning, about the characters and the show and where I felt like I wanted to see them kind of get to, so I was able to bring those in to the writers the first day which kind of helped us really get on a good path right away. With most of the big stories and the characters, we didn't really waver much. We just knew what we wanted to do."
That difference will be visible on screen as well, particularly with the introduction of a more cohesive and inclusive main story line. "We wanted to have a strong central story that would bring everybody together, that would touch everybody in the show," Katims says. "I felt like the one thing that was sort of similar was [Kristina's] breast cancer story line in Season 4, but I think that this one has the weight of that, but will actually even be more impactful on the entire cast."
TV's most memorable finales ever
Katims is tight-lipped about just what will bring the entire family together early in the season, but says it will reflect a "changing of the guard" within the Braverman family hierarchy. "One of the things that I feel this show is about is about the generations in a family," Katims says. "We want to do a story that shows what winds up happening in life when our four adult siblings get to a certain point where they're getting to be middle-aged and they're getting to that point where the tables are starting to turn a little bit. We hinted at it in the last episode of last season of Adam sort of becoming the patriarch of the family."
But with just 13 episodes to go, is Katims worried about giving proper closure to every member of the 15—person ensemble? "A little bit," he says. "You want to give everybody a huge, huge story line but generally speaking, it doesn't really work that way. So that's why we do have one central story line that runs through this season that will affect, I think, everybody in the show, certainly every adult character in the show. I think that that will give us the ability to have good arcs for every character. ... We really have spent a lot of time thinking about every character this year and wanting to get to some place by the end, which does give each character closure as opposed to the entire show."
Katims is also hopeful about bringing back some of the show's many beloved recurring characters, such as Haddie (Sarah Ramos), the latter who made a memorable return in the Season 5 finale. "We're hoping she'll be able to come back for the first episode of the season, and we're hoping some time later in the season she'll come back," he says.
But above any one character or story line, Katims is most worried about leaving fans satisfied. "Pressure's the wrong word, because I don't feel it in a negative way," he says. "There's a wanting to make these episodes great, and wanting to make the season great and really wanting to give a great season to our fans who have stuck with us the whole time."
Parenthood's final season kicks off on Thursday, Sept. 25 at 10/9c on NBC. What do you want to happen?

Bad Newsz Greatest - The Birth of Rogue
- Artist: Bad Newsz Greatest
- Track: The Birth of Rogue
- Producer: adotheGOD
- Album: I Live Forever
Saturday just happens to be my birthday, but before I can celebrate another year on this planet I must celebrate The Birth of Rogue. The record, a Booth-exclusive world premiere from Bad Newsz Greatest, is like an early birthday present, because I have been craving something totally different to add to my music collection. Producer AdotheGOD sets the mood with an interesting beat, which incorporates '80s synths and some dope samples. As well-crafted as the production may be, however, the beat still plays second fiddle to BNG's crisp, pronounced flow, which is calm and collected, yet very potent. Fans of The Birth of Rogue will be able to find the cut on California native's I Live Forever album, scheduled for release at the top of next year.

Christmas is Coming
Time to buy an Advent Calendar.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas,
Everywhere you go!
Take a look in the five and ten glistening once again,
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow!
It is just us, or does Christmas seem to start earlier and earlier each year?! Well we don't like to think about Christmas until after Bonfire Night. That's when it's acceptable to mention the word Christmas. And when we can have a mince pie or two…
So what is Advent all about, and what is an Advent Calendar?
The word Advent comes from the latin term Adventus, meaning 'coming' or 'visit'. It is a season in the Christian year lasting for around 4 weeks. It begins four Sundays before Christmas and ends on Christmas Eve. The Christian season of Christmas actually begins on Christmas Eve. It lasts for twelve days, ending on January 6. The time before Christmas is Advent, a season of preparation for Christmas.
An advent calendar can be used to count the days of Advent, in anticipation of Christmas.
As the first Sunday of Advent varies, most Advent calendars start on the 1st December.
If would like to celebrate Advent, we have a vast selection of calendars available to purchase online.
Paper Advent Calendars
Paper and card Advent calendars are probably the most traditional. They vary in size and design.

What You Need for Starting a Shredding Business
Having important documents in the office will give you headaches since you will not have a proper way of disposing it but through investing on a mobile shredder, people can take care of the document they want. You can always have all your documents shredded on site since the shredding company will bring the shredder at your office or home so people can rest easy. A mobile shredder is more convenient since it is brought to your site and you will see everything being destroyed and ensure no more documents are left.
All You Need to Know About Mobile Shredders
People prefer using the mobile shredder since they can be brought to their location and they get to see the whole shredding process. In most cases the manager must witness the shredding of important documents in the company plus give the go-ahead sign to begin the shredding. You will not be restricted from watching how the shredding tales place but you have a stand away from the machine at least a few meters and not destruct the process.
You are the one to order the service so you organize the right schedule for you and the location you choose will completely be up to you. You can book an on-going shredding service with the company of your choice so they come to your location at specific dates of the month to shred documents. You should put all the documents in bins so the shredding company will know what documents will be shredded rather than wasting time getting the documents out when they arrive.
The company will be in charge of disposing the waste so all you have to do is select the documents that need to be shredded and maintaining constant communication will really help. Find out how much they charge for the service or if there are additional costs for the service they are providing so it helps to get more information. Use the internet to find various shredding companies that provide the service you want plus you can get their contacts so it will be easy to reach them.
If you plan to or you own paper shredding company then you should investigate the current market and see if there are any shredding companies in your locality.It is important to check how much each machine costs and the best brands that have the best features that serve the purpose you need. There are many people who can help you make the right decision and people can make the right decision based on the advice they get from others who have been in the business.
Getting finance for your business is important so you should consider getting investors or lending options from the bank with a considerate paying option.

JEREMY HOBSON: Some are calling it Thundersnow. Some are calling it the Groundhog Day Storm. Maybe because it's grounding just about everything. Flights are cancelled, businesses are closed, I-70 in Missouri has been shut down for the first time in history. It's estimated one in three Americans will be affected by the heavy snow, freezing rain and bitter cold winds.
Marketplace's Stacey Vanek Smith takes a look at the economic impact of the storm.
STACEY VANEK SMITH: The economic impact of this massive storm system is huge and diverse, says Louis Uccellini. He's with the National Weather Service. He says there are people missing work, businesses being closed…
LOUIS UCCELLINI: Retail sales, lots of flights are being canceled. The impact of these storms definitely range up into the billions of dollars.
Uccellini says cash-strapped cities and states will spend millions just clearing the snow. But it's not all bad news, says Evan Gold with Planalytics.
EVAN GOLD: In advance of the storm, grocery stores, home centers will see an increase in foot traffic. The other businesses that obviously do well are online retailers as well as any restaurant that does delivery.
Gold says this week sales of hats, gloves, and scarves are up 8 percent over last year; sales of rock salt are up nearly 50 percent. Still Gold expects the overall economic impact of the storm will be negative, and that's just this storm.
GOLD: Remember, we still have a lot of winter to go.
In New York, where every inch of snow costs the city $1 million, I'm Stacey Vanek Smith for Marketplace.

WizKids is pleased to announce the release of an all-new dice-rolling game, Dice Stars, in North American retail stores.
From the designers who brought you Mr. Jack, Dice Town, Cyclades and many others, Bruno Cathala and Ludovic Maublanc are mixing fun with strategy in this new dice game that will have you seeing stars.
Players will take turns drawing and rolling 1 to 3 dice and building a reserve. Use your roll to collect dice of the same color or value to strategically fill in your score sheet and win the most points. But watch out for stars: these faces can be powerful multipliers but they come with great risk… When you fill out the special line of stars, make sure you complete the line to get double points, because if you don't, you'll score zero!
If a player rolls the dice and it's possible for them to fill out their sheet, they must do so. If there aren't enough empty spaces left, the player must take a penalty! At the end of the game, players tally their final scores and the person with the highest total wins the game.
Pretty simple, right? See if you have what it takes to make the right choices and win Dice Stars!
Visit your friendly local game store to add Dice Stars ($19.99 USD) to your game collection today!

When the EPA announced it will require states to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide to 30 percent below 2005 levels by 2030, it wasn't applying that exact target to everyone.
In practice, some states will have to lower emissions by more than 30 percent while others will cut below that, but the overall reduction would basically amount to the EPA reduction (see map below). That's because the agency set up a formula that looks at states' most recent emissions along with other factors such as their ability to shift to natural gas or expected closings of coal plants when setting a 2030 goal.
The agency started with a baseline of 2012 emissions and applied some key assumptions about what each state could reasonably achieve by 2030. The EPA took that 2012 data, assumed basic increases in efficiency, accounted for unused capacity in the less-harmful natural gas sector, estimated how much a state could generate from renewable or nuclear sources and, lastly, forecasted how much a state could decrease demand from users.
That method led to great variation among states, from a 14-percent target in Rhode Island to about 72 percent in Washington state. EPA officials explained in a conference call with reporters that Washington's target is higher because the state already plans to close a major coal plant in 2020 and the state is aggressively pursuing renewable sources that will likely curb emissions dramatically.
Big coal-producing states such as Kentucky, Wyoming and West Virginia have more modest targets, at 18 percent, 19 percent and about 20 percent respectively. Vermont and Washington, D.C., have no emissions goal because neither has a fossil-fuel-powered plant.
Susan Tierney, an expert on energy policy at the Analysis Group, said that she believed the EPA's new requirements were and "respectful of existing technology" in each state, and that the methodology to determine how much each state must reduce emissions does not unfairly target states that rely on coal for their current power. "The EPA is not asking a state to go farther than its resources will allow it to go," Tierney added.
States will have the opportunity to question the targets set by the EPA over the next 120 days and try to amend them before the agency finalizes the rules about a year from now. The rules will likely face legal challenges from states and private companies.
The map below shows the percentage of carbon dioxide (from 2012 levels) each state will have to reduce from its power utilities, with greater reductions shown in red. The cuts are in pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt hour of electricity generated. For more on the methodology, read the EPA's technical guide. For more on the agency's thinking for each state, see this interactive map.

Keeping your online store secure should always be a top priority. According to the 2017 U.S. State of Cybercrime Survey, the number of security breaches decreased in 2017, but the overall financial impact did not. And security threats are becoming harder to detect.
Just one security breach can cost your business a lot of time and money to repair. Perhaps even more importantly, a breach erodes the trust you've worked hard to build with your customers. With digital security, an ounce of prevention is truly worth a pound of cure.
If you're on the Magento platform, you can significantly reduce your risk by keeping your site up to date with the latest security releases. I recently sat down with Gauge's lead developer, Chris Roach, to talk all things security. Today we'll cover Gauge's approach to security patches, why they matter, and what you should know about them.
This interview has been edited for clarity and readability.
The Basics
Kali: What are security patches and why are they important?
Chris: Security patches are basically code updates to fix vulnerabilities that can be exploited to steal data. Magento releases a patch or update when a security vulnerability has been found and it needs to be fixed. Vulnerabilities can happen because something was overlooked in the initial Magento release, or just because systems have changed over time.
Technology, languages, and systems are living things and they change constantly. Those changes can cause holes in a site's security. You can build something that's secure when it's launched, but if you don't keep it updated as technology changes, it will eventually become outdated and vulnerable. Security patches prevent that.
Kali: How does Magento find vulnerabilities? Do they fix problems as developers report them, or do they have tools they use to find vulnerabilities?
Chris: Both. Some holes they find on their own when something large changes in the digital environment. They also pay people to help them find vulnerabilities.
Magento does have a bounty for reporting security problems—if you find a vulnerability and report it, they'll pay you. It's easy to do. You open up a ticket with them and they'll investigate the issue. If they find that it's a legit vulnerability, they'll give you cash. So there's incentive. Update**As of September 15th, 2018, Magento will end the bug bounty program.
Another way, for example, is NGINX, which is a piece of software on the web server which serves the pages from Magento and it's constantly getting updated. Some of the functions that it uses become outdated and when they become outdated, Magento has to go in and tell us when we need to change ours to use the newly updated service. If NGINX isn't configured correctly, the site could be at risk for a breach. If an NGINX update creates a vulnerability, Magento alerts us to make the appropriate configuration changes to keep the client's data safe.
The Gauge Approach to Security
At Gauge we take security seriously, so we want to make sure that every client's site has the latest security patches. When Magento releases a patch, we start a process of assessing it and then applying it to affected sites.
First, we examine the patch and the vulnerability it addresses. We take painstaking care as we review how this particular patch could affect each unique site. Then we notify our clients, explain how it affects them, and communicate our plan for applying it to their site. Finally, we install it and run tests to make sure everything works correctly.
Because our developers are intimately familiar with the unique nature of each site, we're able to be efficient and exact. I spoke with Chris to better understand the technical side of this process.
Kali: Does the Gauge development team have a standard approach for installing security patches, or is the process different for each client?
Chris: For Magento sites it's pretty much the same across the board. We find what the vulnerability is, see which files the patch changes, and then determine whether that site has any custom modifications to Magento.
If a site has few or no customizations, it could be just a straightforward installation. But because we make modifications on top of Magento, when we add a patch we have to see if that affects our modifications as well.
Sometimes the patch only involves a couple of files, so assessment and installation are easy. Sometimes it's a lot more than that, which can make it pretty difficult.
Kali: So if your site is highly customized, are security patches harder to apply?
Chris: No, I wouldn't say that necessarily. It's not more difficult; you still follow the same process every time. But it does typically take more time for customized sites.
Kali: How long does it typically take to install a patch, from start to finish?
Chris: Well again, it depends on whether the site's been modified. Typically it takes between 3 to 10 hours, but it really depends on the patch and the site.
If a patch only requires a couple of file changes, it can be done super quickly. But most of the time Magento patches tend to affect anywhere from 50 to 100 files.
Security patches need a lot of testing and quality assurance. It's important that we check them thoroughly. Sometimes Magento may create a patch that's incorrect, or they've overlooked something, or it just doesn't work with your customizations. If that isn't caught, the patch breaks the site. Then we have to go in and fix it.
If a patch affects a customization or a function that's used often, it can be a lot more time-consuming. We have to go through every single file and make sure those changes are made across the board. For instance, say you're creating custom collections of products in the backend. If a patch changes the way you've been doing that, we would have to make sure that change is applied to every single instance where you've created those collections.
Kali: Does any patch stand out in your mind as especially challenging, or do they all present different challenges?
Chris: We've definitely had easier ones and harder ones. We just finished installing the most recent patch and that one was pretty easy. It becomes easier with repetition. The more familiar you get with the process, the more you know what to look for and how to handle it.
You have to really make sure that whatever you're changing, you make that change to all of your customizations as well. If you miss one, that vulnerability is still there, and then what's the point of adding a patch? It's like an inner tube. If your tube has five holes, patching three of them may help, but in the long run, it still won't keep you afloat.
So applying security patches isn't overly complex or difficult necessarily, but it can be tedious work. You really have to do your due diligence.
Security for Magento 1 vs. Magento 2
Kali: The end of support for Magento 1 is approaching and Magento 2 is structured a bit differently. Can you explain the difference between security patches for Magento 1 and the newer security updates for Magento 2?
Chris: Magento 1 patches simply fix the vulnerability. Magento 2 security updates convert your entire platform to the newest version of Magento.
For Magento 1, every time Magento releases a patch, they release one for every version of Magento that hasn't reached its end of support date. So to address the same vulnerability, they'll release a patch for Magento 1.13, and another one for 1.14, etc. They're releasing a bunch of different patches at once.
When you apply a patch, you're still on version 1.13 or 1.14; you've only fixed that vulnerability. Then Magento also builds that patch into future versions. So if you were to upgrade to version 1.15, the new installation would automatically include that patch.
With Magento 2, Magento only addresses security vulnerabilities by releasing a new version. You don't "patch" at all; you just upgrade the system to the newest version every single time. So if Magento finds a vulnerability in 2.0, they'd fix it by releasing 2.1.
Kali: Would you say the Magento 2 upgrade process is easier than the Magento 1 patch process?
Chris: Again, it depends. From a technical standpoint, I would say it's just different. Overall, I do think the Magento 2 approach is better because it forces retailers to upgrade to the latest version. I think that's smart.
Kali: But security updates are different than patches. Is it easier to update to a newer version on Magento 2 than it was on Magento 1?
Chris: It's easier and better for the retailer, which is why they do it that way.
The End (of Support) is Nigh
Kali: We've heard that the end of support for Magento 1 Enterprise is 2020. For Community, the end might come sooner than that. They haven't released an end of support date for Community, but Magento has promised to notify retailers at least 18 months before they discontinue support. What does that mean for retailers on Magento 1?
Chris: Basically, "end of support" means Magento will stop finding and fixing security vulnerabilities for that version of the platform. That's one reason why Magento 1 retailers need to upgrade to Magento 2 or move to another platform. It won't be safe to stay on the older versions past the end of support date.
If retailers stay on an unsupported version, their site will develop security vulnerabilities. It's a guarantee. Once Magento stops looking for vulnerabilities and stops paying bounties, there will be little you can do. You won't know what those vulnerabilities are so you won't be able to fix them. You could pay a security expert to look for them on your site. But that will have to be done often and it will be expensive.
Moving to Magento 2 is the smartest option because it's continuously updated to address vulnerabilities. Like I said before, technology is constantly changing. The longer you wait, the worse it's going to get as languages evolve and best practices change. So now is the time to make a plan.
Kali: According to their service terms, Magento is also ending support for the first few versions of Magento 2. That's a big change; they supported Magento 1 versions for a much longer timeframe. What's your take on this change?
Chris: I think Magento is just trying to keep its customers up to date. They want retailers to upgrade because the newest version has (a) additional tools and features and (b) the latest security updates.
From a development standpoint, working with an older site on Magento can be pretty horrible. When a site is outdated, updating it involves a lot more than adding new features. We first have to fix any existing problems, resolve the technical debt, and make sure the code conforms to current best practices.
Updated versions of Magento are easier to develop on, more secure, and just better overall. They create a better shopping experience too. I think Magento recognizes that. By having shorter support timelines, they're motivating people to upgrade.
In Conclusion
The eCommerce landscape is a never-ending parade of flashy new tools and exciting new technology. Amid the marketing flair and sassy corporate Twitter accounts, it can be easy to lose sight of basics like ironclad security. But its importance can't be overstated.
Magento is constantly working to maintain and improve security. My chat with Chris illuminated the reasoning behind some of Magento's most recent improvements, and he underscored the urgency of strong security.
At Gauge, our goal is to deliver value and whole-business partnership that you can rely on. One way we do that is by including all security patches and updates in our Monthly Partnership Agreements. Keeping your site up to date is a critical part of site maintenance. But security releases are unpredictable, time-consuming, and expensive. Too often clients are hit with surprise bills after a patch is released.
But Gauge doesn't bill by the hour. Because our service agreements are always fixed-price, our clients can sleep easy knowing their site will stay up-to-date and locked down, without any additional cost.
If you've got a question about Magento security patches or updates, leave a comment below. If you're ready to talk about upgrading, replatforming, or ditching the hourly support model, drop us a line. We'd love to build a partnership with your business.

Mumford & Sons' Sigh No MoreI know their debut album, Sigh No More, came out in October 2009, but I only recently discovered them thanks to a small blurb in a January or February 2011 issue of Entertainment Weekly. I don't often agree with others' opinions on music and so I had low expectations. Rarely do I hear a song by a new artist that leaves me with such certainty that they will be a new favorite, like Rammstein, Meat Loaf, Disturbed, and a few others previously. And it's even rarer that I'm right about that certainty, because so many albums have only one or two good songs; not even great, just good. It turns out that there is not a wasted second on this album; all songs are gorgeously and lovingly crafted.
I'm usually one to shy away from anything with a banjo, just like bagpipes, "the missing link between noise and sound" (Danny Bhoy). Though, in the hands of talent even a banjo can become lovely, compelling, and essential. "Love, it will not betray you, dismay or enslave you; it will set you free" is one of the most beautiful, lyrical lines I've ever heard, and the music is so joyful and stirring that I listened to the title track probably 30 times in 3 days. Not all the songs are happy - why should they be? - but every one has at least one perfect moment of brilliance. This is the first on faith purchase I've made in quite a while and I'll definitely do the same with their next effort. I just hope it can live up to the majesty that they've created here.

It's been a month since I decided to go au natural with my nails.
Do you remember this blog post? Why I Decided to Say Goodbye to My Acrylic Nails. I go into full dramatic detail on why I had acrylics in the first place and then I explain how after years in the acrylic life I walked away.
Well, you're probably wondering how things have been going.
Well, first things first... my nails were/are very sick. I didn't realize how brittle acrylics made them. My first clue is when they started to break like I had been digging holes with my hands for 8 hours for 30 days straight. I didn't have to be doing anything strenuous. They would just crack and fall apart. I even used shellac, but nothing was holding them together.
I would like to thank Julep for sending me a care package full of amazing things to make my nails stronger and prettier. This is a whole new space for me, so I didn't know where to start. So, thanks Julep for setting me on the right path.
The biggest surprise. So, you know the saying, "It's like riding a bike." Well, some things aren't like riding a bike. I used to paint my own nails when I was a teenager. I wasn't exceptional at it, but I got the job done in a decent way. So, I thought it would all come back to me with no problem.
|This is the better hand. The right hand has always been harder to polish. Bess and Madison from Julep.
This seriously looks like I did this with 2 left hands. I'm trying guys. This is a serious challenge, but I know my nails will be better for it in the long run. So, if you run into me - don't look at my hands to closely. I'm a work in progress.
I used these two tonight. A nice hand scrub for the hands and a top coat to help my nails get stronger.
Any tips are completely appreciated.

From Charles Poliquin
Gain strength and lose fat with rest-pause training. Using an inter-repetition rest period is an advanced technique for getting more work done, and it will allow you to experience big body composition gains, while maximizing strength and power development.
Rest-pause works like this: You perform an exercise to technical failure and then rest for a short period, allowing yourself to recover somewhat before performing the exercise to failure again. The benefits include the following:
• Greater motor unit recruitment so you gain strength.
• The ability to get more work done in a shorter period—good when you're pressed for training time.
• A significant metabolic and hormonal response for muscle building and fat loss.
Two recent studies demonstrate how rest-pause works and show it is appropriate to train with squats and Olympic lifts if you are a technically strong lifter. Inexperienced trainees who don't have good training technique shouldn't do this style of training because it can put them at risk of injury.
In a study from Australia, trained men did three squat protocols and had electromyographic (EMG) muscle activity tested: Protocol A was 5 sets of 4 reps with 3 minute rest (no rest pause), Protocol B was 5 sets of 4 reps with 20 seconds rest (no rest pause), or Protocol C was the rest-pause method in which reps were performed to failure followed by 20 seconds rest for a total of 20 reps.
With 3 minutes rest, Protocol A took much longer than the other two at 720 seconds rest. Protocol B took 80 seconds of rest, whereas Protocol C took only an average of 42.9 seconds of rest and it took the majority of the participants only two sets (the first of 15 reps and the second at 5 reps) to complete the 20 reps using rest-pause. Similar reductions in rate of force development and output as the workout progressed were seen at the end of all trials.
Most interesting, the rest-pause trial resulted in significantly greater muscle activity of the quadriceps compared to the other two protocols. Vastus medialis activity increased by 8.4 percent, biceps femoris activity increased by 46.1 percent, and erector spinae activity increased by 41.1 percent during the rest-pause trial.
This is evidence that the rest-pause method allowed for the greatest increase in motor unit recruitment despite no difference in the observed level of muscular fatigue. The fact that rest-pause has trainees perform repetitions to failure is extremely effective for gaining strength and building muscle since it means there is increased voluntary drive to the musculature.
This type of training is ideal for eliciting nervous system adaptations, while potentially increasing metabolic demand. If you program your workouts properly, you can gain strength and lose fat at the same at time. Good news since it's always better to be strong and lean than weak and lean.
Another effect of the rest-pause method seen in previous studies is increased recovery of energy stores—creatine phosphate and ATP—and a greater anabolic testosterone and growth hormone response. Power can also be maximized with rest-pause: A 2012 study found that power cleans with a 20-second rest after every rep in a protocol of 3 sets of 6 reps had only a 3 percent drop in peak power from the first to the 18th rep compared to a 9 percent decrease without rest-pause.
When using rest-pause, commit to perfect training technique because getting sloppy or forcing reps up completely defeats the purpose of training. Ideally, you should do rest-pause with a training partner to keep you honest with technique and instill some competitive motivation into the workout.

Borgata's Case against Phil Ivey Proceeds to Court5 years ago
23 Mar
Borgata's lawsuit against Phil Ivey has been allowed to proceed to court, the Pressofatlanticcity reported. After losing his legal battle against the Crockfords late last year, the high roller is now faced with another challenge, the only difference being that Ivey is playing the role of defendant in the current case.
The Atlantic City-based Borgata is suing the 'Tiger Woods of Poker' for the amount of $9.6 million, which they claim he won by using a technique known as edge sorting. It involves exploiting the defects on the back of playing cards, which allowed Ivey to gain a significant edge at the baccarat tables.
During a preliminary hearing earlier this month, JudgeNoel Hillman gave his approval for the case to move forward and Ivey will most likely have to fight his battle out in the open. The federal judge disregarded arguments by Ivey's lawyers insisting that their client saw nothing more and nothing less than what any employee at the casino should have been able to see.
Hillman believes that Borgata's case has merits and standing, as the casino presented plausible claims. Their claims against both Phil Ivey and Gemaco, the cards' manufacturer, will proceed to the discovery phase and, depending on how things pan out, it could be put before a jury.
Ivey's defense is not based on claims of innocence but rather on the claim that what he did does not constitute cheating, as he only used what the casino provided for the games. At no point was there any tampering with cards or any actual cheating taking place.
That approach did not bring much luck in the Crockfords case. Although JudgeMitting deemed Ivey to be a "truthful witness," he established that the high roller had no legal claims to the money he won in August of 2012.
If the same logic is applied in the Borgata case, things don't look too good for Ivey, as he could be on the line for nearly $10 million.
It seems that the notion of a freeroll doesn't really get through to the judges. Whether it's because they don't care or they simply don't understand, we can only guess. When the facts of these cases were first made public, many felt that the casinos were, in fact, freerolling Ivey.
If Ivey lost, which was completely within the realm of possibilities, as he was by no means guaranteed to win despite the edge, they would simply keep the money. If, on the other hand, he won, they could claim cheating and still keep the money.
One big difference between the two cases is that Ivey is in possession of the money he won from Borgata in 2012. Had he not been paid, as was the case with Crockfords, the outcome would most likely be the same, but having ownership of the money should actually work in Ivey's favor.
We will keep you posted as things move along.

Sculptural works by Meghan Caveney
What does it mean to be legitimate? To be counted in? To be one of us?
My work explores tenuous moments of formation and definition. A maker has a say in ascribing an identity to its charge. With a word, I can deny belonging. Withholding a secret, I can pretend (authorize) a status. With a wish, I can envision outlandish possibilities.
In my wooden sculptures, I adhere printed imagery to carved dimensional areas, while conversely allowing broad swaths of bark surface to remain intact and unmanipulated. In this way, I call attention to the process of emergence. Likewise, in my prints, I contrast hard-edged graphics against fluid, painterly passages. My figures exist in varying states of description—at times declared, at times nebulous, always waiting for final designation.
Like Geppetto gazing at his puppet, I imagine these creations finding animate character. And in my mind, I wonder what tasks they must undertake to realize their sanctioned stations.
Join us, Thursday, January 31, for our first Factory Mark Gallery opening of 2019, A Real Boy, featuring the work of artist Marc Cote. As a figurative expressionist, Cote uses personal biographical history intertwined with folk tales and fables, historical references, and a bit of religion to create complex narratives.
RSVP to join us at the opening.
Marc Cote is the Dean of Arts and Humanities at Framingham State University. He holds an MFA from the University of Connecticut and a BFA from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Marc serves on the Board of the Boston Printmakers. He has displayed his work in many local, national, and international venues, including The Kingston Gallery in Boston, The 13 Forest Gallery in Arlington, The International Print Center in New York, The Santa Cruz County Art Museum in California, and the Kyoto Woodprint Association in Japan. His prints are in numerous collections, including Harvard University, the Boston Public Library, the Danforth Museum, the Zuckerman Museum in GA, and McNeese State University in LA.

Buddhists in Britain respond to ethical issues
A fascinating insight into Buddhist ethical belief and practice, demonstrating the range and diversity of Buddhism in Britain today. Filmed in situ, senior Buddhist men and women respond to challenging ethical issues in the light of their Dharma practice. Each programme includes a clear and lively explanation of the relevant Buddhist teaching.
Curriculum relevance
- Religious Education and Religious Studies
- Citizenship
- Key Stage 4 Agreed Syllabuses
- GCSE short and full courses
- AS/A2 Level
- Scottish Levels SG and HS
The aims of the resource are to:
- introduce pupils to a range of Buddhist traditions practising in Britain today
- explore practising Buddhists' responses to a selection of current ethical issues
- enhance pupils' understanding of key Buddhist teachings relevant to these issues
- encourage pupils to reflect on their own responses to these issues
The six programmes cover:
1. Today's Buddhists: The Buddhist Sangha in Britain
We visit five Buddhist establishments in the UK, where leading Buddhists of these establishments talk about their own daily life and practice. They outline the distinctive features of their tradition, and how it became established in the West. They also describe the effects that the encounter with Western culture has had on their tradition, and outline what they hope to contribute to the West.
2. What's life all about?
Meaning and purpose, suffering, God, death and the afterlife – in response to questions about the meaning of existence programme 2 introduces the key Buddhist teaching of the Three Marks, or signs of being:Dukkha, or unsatifactoriness; Anicca, or impermanence; Anatta, or no fixed self.
Three young men go on retreat to Vajraloka retreat centre in the heart of Wales and explore this essential Buddhist teaching. This programme gently and skilfully leads the student towards a clear grasp of this formulation and of its significance to Buddhists.
3. Who cares about the Environment?
This programme visits Holy Island which lies off the West coast of Scotland. Here the monks and nuns of the Tibetan Monastery of Samye Ling, in Eskdale Muir, Dumfriesshire, bring together the ancient wisdom of Tibet with the latest technology in order to create a blueprint for relating to the environment. Against this inspiring backdrop two central Buddhist teachings which relate to environmental issues are explored: interconnectedness; karma
4. Matters of Life and Death: The Sanctity of Life – abortion, euthanasia and animal life.
This programme faces with sensitivity and clarity the question of the sanctity of life. We follow a working day in the life of a Buddhist consultant in the University of Southampton Medical School as we unfold the principle which underpins Buddhist ethics – Ahimsa, or non-violence
5. Marriage, Family and Relationships
In the setting of the Dharma School, Britain's only Buddhist school, this programme explores the traditional Buddhist attitude to marriage, divorce and the family. The programme goes on to explain Buddhist guidelines on sexual relationships and their relevance to a young person growing up in today's world, including: Marriage and divorce in Buddhism; attitudes to the family; the third precept, covering sexual conduct
6. Why Work?
Attitudes to work and Leisure – hundreds of young people gather near Glastonbury for the annual Buddhafield Festival, which is the backdrop for the Mahayana teaching of the Six Perfections:generosity; ethics; patience; energy; meditation; wisdom.
Sample clip
Imaginatively conceived and produced, Buddhism Today offers a clear and lively presentation of key Buddhist themes and perspectives. It convincingly shows the relevance of Buddhist teachings to contemporary issues and dilemmas; there is much here to prompt reflection and debate in the classroom
Hampton School
Highly recommended!

If you couldn't tell from the cover, this chapter will focus mainly on Peter. Who is looking mightily scruffy. We'll also dive in a bit deeper into the murk that is the politics of A SIT-E in APPLEYS.
If you're a bigger fan of Colbey, no worries, she'll be back around soon enough! First some science and some payback.
Also, remember this? Now you know who Alex was talking to.
If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go open another box of tissues and then torch all the freaking ragweed I can find. Ugghhhhh *sneeze*
