Who is behind Women Love Tech
Bonjour, I am Frederique Bros (Freddie) founder and publisher of Women Love Tech. France-born, Web Designer, I fell in love with Australia when I came here on a scuba-diving trip 13 years ago – so much that I became a citizen. I live in Sydney.
Despite my 10 years experience with the digital world, you won't find any geeky talk here – Women Love Tech is like having fun with a tech expert girlfriend. Approachable, readable, my writing is honest and direct. I am also a regular contributor as a tech writer for magazines and blogs. If you are interested to get my input, please email email@example.com
English is my second language, so you may find sometimes some grammar 'faux pas', sorry for the inconvenience and merci for your tolerance. If you're a business or organisation that is looking for someone to speak about technology and blogging, please email me directly.
Why Women Love Tech Is So Different
I have done something no-one else has – made technology easy, interesting and fun. Technology is an emerging and fast industry. For some it can be hard to stay up-to-date with the latest app or gadget. The main objective of Women Love Tech has been to create an online magazine for women who have a love in all things in technology that they can apply to their everyday lifestyle. With this in mind, Women Love Tech has been designed and positioned to allow brands to reach their target and for women to share their enthusiasm and support for all that is great in technology in a fun and entertaining way.
Today Women Love Tech has over 45,000 readers and is growing rapidly week by week.
Women Love Tech the last 2 years won few awards. I am specially very proud of winning the 2013 Australian Web Awards for the Innovation Category and to be the finalist for the Australian IT Journalism Awards 2014 for the Best Independent Media Category.
Opportunities For Your Brand
Women Love Tech has diverse integrated advertising solutions which have been designed to allow your brand to reach our community and share their enthusiasm and support for all that is great in technology. I work with lots of brands to help get their product message across to my targeted demographic. Click here to find out more or email firstname.lastname@example.com

The PS3 will only make the November launch in Japan and the USA.
Europeans will have to wait until 2007.
Reason: shortage of material to make the new laser lenses.
The PS3 will miss the important holiday season and even more of its chances to succeed are disappearing.

Brewpubs are rare in Utah and practically nonexistent in this section of the state, so it's a nice surprise to find one on a side road heading south out of Helper toward Price. This casual pub serves up a hefty spectrum of burgers, pizzas, and salads. Top your meal off with a draft pint of freshly brewed beer. If the weather's nice, have a seat on the outdoor patio.

The two party system is fine, until the parties have the ability to redraw their own districts without any rules as to how those districts should be shaped. Over time, they have to continue pulling farther and farther extreme from each other in order to compete within their own parties, and end up with guaranteed general election wins, which ends up leaving everyone with representatives who refuse to compromise. When you have to appeal to a wide variety of voters in the general election instead, parties end up electing the most extreme they can get away with in a general election instead of a primary - someone who has conviction yet who can compromise. This ends up being a moderating influence in multiple directions - it prevents the parties both from becoming too closely aligned and collude or too far apart to work together.
The solution is to limit the way district boundaries can be drawn - no more districts with a giant tail to add that group of republicans on X highway or the democrats on Y side of the city. Unfortunately, I'm not sure Congress is up to the task right now, which is a massive problem since the problem will continue to get worse, which makes it even less likely to happen...

They're only bad for keeping people working if nobody else has the same restrictions. If every other state had the same level of restrictions, California would be in contention without having to waive rules. If the entire world had the same restrictions, jobs wouldn't be outsourced to third world countries with near slave laborers.
That's the real problem with rules like environmental or worker protections - if only a subset of countries are onboard, companies move to those places where they have more power. If they have the same amount of power everywhere, the laws have no effect on the state of employment.
Your statement, and the sentiment many people hold towards regulation, is ignorant to the facts. You present it as if these companies are choosing between creating jobs and not creating jobs, when the reality is that they're creating the jobs anyway, and they're just choosing where to create them, with a substantial basis in the regulatory environment. Tesla is building a battery factory, they're just not considering California because it's easier to create them elsewhere.

The point is that coming from that background, of being one of the few survivors thanks to a licensing regime, they're going to think much harder than someone writing one sentence saying "the console should be opened up, that would solve all their problems!".
Given that they have billions in capital and a proven track record of turning around poor initial sales with killer apps, they're not going to immediately switch to an open platform when one generation seems to be faltering halfway through. If they fail for 2 generations consecutively, and don't turn them around mid cycle, then you might see a change.

It's 1983. Atari just settled a lawsuit over Activision's ability to create games for the 2600, and did not get a restraining order against the practice. Shovelware is running rampant, and many of the companies creating the shovelware are small startups. Games are not selling because they were overall fucking terrible. Stores lose a ton of money on having merchandise they couldn't sell. Many of both the distributors and developers are going of business. The distributors that are diversified and survive, like Toys 'R Us, refuse to use inventory space on games. It's a business decision they're making based on what happens when games are completely shitty.
In comes Nintendo with a way to ensure that truly shitty games don't make it onto their console, and they rejuvenate an industry that almost killed itself entirely with too much openness.
Again, this isn't some hypothetical bullshit argument about whether open source is superior on moral grounds from someone who holds no real stake in the outcome. It's what actually happened in the industry.

Shame so many of them chose death over sharing, isn't it?
The last time sharing was the norm, it caused the entire industry to collapse. There's a reason it was called the Nintendo Entertainment System, and not console. Nintendo, as it turns out, were the ones who led the industry's recovery, largely by instituting strict third party licensing. Sid Meier considers the Nintendo "Seal of Quality" one of the three most important innovations in gaming history because of the impact that it had.
Coming from that background, you can understand why Nintendo isn't going to take the decision to open up the platform as lightly as some open source keyboard warriors on Slashdot.

Our second problem is that we have voters who never learned in school that there were plenty of African Americans in the military, but they were segregated thanks to progressive President Wilson.
Our third problem is that plenty of people think it's cool to blame it all on a particular president of a political leaning they do not agree with, even though the US has had African Americans in the military in their own segregated units at least as early as the Revolutionary War.

Feiwel & Friends
Belladonna Johnson can see ghosts. It's a trait she's inherited from her mother's side of the family, like blue eyes or straight hair. And it's a trait she could do without, because what twelve-year-old wants to be caught talking to someone invisible?
It is convenient, though, after Belladonna's parents are killed in a car accident. They can live with her the same as always, watching the same old TV shows in their same old house. Nothing has changed . . . until everything changes.
One night, with no warning, they vanish into thin air—along with every other ghost in the world. It's what some people think ghosts are supposed to do, but Belladonna knows it's all wrong. They may not be living, but they're not supposed to be gone.
With the help of her classmate Steve, a master of sneaking and spying, Belladonna is left to uncover what's become of the spirits and to navigate a whole world her parents have kept well-hidden. If she can't find her way, she'll lose them again—this time for good.
"Wry wit and derring-do add up to a great read."—Kirkus Reviews
"Stringer debuts with an adventurous, darkly humorous ghost story. …Stringer's ability to build a strong sense of mystery, entwined with Western mythology, will pull readers through to the end. Those who like unusual ghost stories without the usual horror will enjoy this book."—Publishers Weekly
"Stringer maintains the humor and logic of preteens who are awkwardly coming into their magical destinies, which makes for an amusing first novel."—School Library Journal

Castles, marionettes, music, art and beer are paramount to the identity of the Czech Republic, which burgeoned as a tourist hotspot in the aftermath of the Velvet Revolution, notably the capital Prague and fairytale Ceský Krumlov. Poland is a proud country bearing both the tears and triumphs of its turbulent history, from the amber beaches of Gdansk and the historic beauty of Kraków; to the spirit of its resilient capital, Warsaw and the legacy of Auschwitz. The 'Pearl of the Danube', Budapest, is Hungary's cosmopolitan capital, but this, one of the oldest countries in Europe, is also home to ancient Roman ruins, 400-year-old Turkish monuments, and hundreds of therapeutic mineral springs; whilst Berlin, the cosmopolitan German capital, is known for its knowledge, tolerance, museums, palaces, street art, architecture, and energetic approach to the arts and culture.

Octuplets are a set of eight offspring born at one birth. An individual that is part of such a set is called a octuplet.
Types of Octuplets
Octuplets can be fraternal (multizygotic), identical (monozygotic) or a combination of both. Multizygotic Octuplets occur from eight unique egg/sperm combinations. Monozygotic multiples are the result of a fertilized egg that splits into two or more embryos. It is possible for the split to occur more than once, producing monozygotic triplets or potentially even a set of monozygotic octuplets, although none have been documented. It is also possible for octuplets to include one or more sets of monozygotic twins among the six individuals. Octuplets can be all male, all female, or a combination of both. Monozygotic multiples will always be of the same gender.
Octuplet Statistics
Facts About Multiples records 19 sets of octuplets in the world as of January 2009, however only five of those sets include any living survivors, and only one set includes eight survivors. Very few incidences of spontaneous conception of octuplets have been reported; nearly all of the extreme multiple births in the last 30 years were the result of fertility enhancements such as ovulation-stimulating drugs.
Octuplets do not necessarily have to share the same birthdate. A delayed interval delivery (also known as iatrogenic asynchronous birth) may mean that individual babies are born days or even weeks apart, such as the Chukwu babies born in 1998.
Pregnancy with Octuplets
Because octuplets are so rare, information is scarce as to the average gestation or other details of pregnancy. However, all incidences of octuplets have been born prematurely, before the 40-week gestational period for a full-term singleton baby. In January, 2009, the California octuplets were born a little past 30 weeks. By contrast, the Chukwu babies born in 1998 were delivered at only twenty-seven weeks. As in a pregnancy with five or six babies (quintuplets or sextuplets), a mother may gain 50-100 pounds, depending on how long she is able to carry the babies.
A cesarean delivery is necessitated in the event of an octuplet pregnancy. Because the babies are born prematurely, they are quite small. The largest know size for an octuplet was one of the babies born in California in 2009, weighing 3 lbs. 4 oz. None of the Chukwu babies weighed more than two pounds.
Interesting Facts About Octuplets
Other higher order mltiples have been widely followed in the media, such as the Dilley "Six Pack" sextuplets born in 1993 to the television series "Jon & Kate Plus 8" which documents the daily life of the Gosselin family who have both twins and sextuplets. While great media attention was focused on the birth of octuplets in January 2009, details about the family have remained relatively private. In addition, the Chukwu/Udobi family from Houston has shunned the spotlight for the most part. Many parents of octuplets are urged to consider selective reduction, reducing the number of viable fetuses to two in order to protect the health of the mother and give the babies the best chance of survival. In 2009, doctors thought that the mother was pregnant with septuplets, and were surprised by an eighth baby in the delivery room.
Support Groups for Families with Octuplets
Because of the rarity of octuplet births, there is no specific organization devoted to their support. However these organizations for parents of multiples are a good source of information and assistance:
MOST (Mothers of Supertwins: http://www.mostonline.org/index.htm (United States)

Strollers for Octuplets
While it may be possible for a company to custom craft an eight-seat stroller, at this time there is no specific product on the market. Four-, five- and six-seat strollers are available and could be used in combination to transport eight babies. Runabout crafts multi-seat strollers with hand-welded steel frames and manufactures a model with six seats. They are quite expensive, costing nearly $1500 new from the manufacturer, but may be available on the secondary market. (Triplet Connection also offers discounts for parents of multiples.)

50 days to lay trackWORKMEN ON THE SITE of the Ryan Brathwaite Track preparing to roll out the synthetic surface yesterday. (Picture by Kenmore Bynoe.)
Tue, October 30, 2012 - 12:01 AM
FIFTY days! That's how long it is expected to take to lay the Regupol surface on the Ryan Brathwaite Track at the Lazaretto site in St Michael.
Work resumed on the track yesterday and officials from Regupol are in the island to oversee the work being done by C.O. Williams Construction.
Last week, Sir Hilary Beckles, principal of the Cave Hill Campus, said the track should be open by yearend and that the surface had been recommended by Usain Bolt, the world's fastest man.
Recently, Minister of Sport Stephen Lashley said that if the laying of the new track at the National Stadium took longer than expected, school sports would be held at the Lazaretto venue.
This should also allay the fears of hundreds of Barbadian children at the primary and secondary level, as well as track and field fans who eagerly look forward to the Hilary term. (SAT)

Just want to add my voice to the chorus of those current PS users who will be looking elsewhere up the road. I have always been unhappy with the way Adobe forces one to upgrade by simply refusing to add new cameras to its existing software once the latest version is introduced.
Since I don't have deep-enough pockets to fork over hundreds of dollars to Adobe every year or so, I certainly don't want their hand in my wallet every month.
I'm sure Adobe is completely unconcerned about users such as myself defecting to other photo software companies; I'm just as sure that at least some of those other companies will welcome my business.
No software is so perfect that it's irreplaceable.
Love your extensive camera reviews.
Having said that: what is the shutter lag on the G15?
I own a G10 and its lag is one of the cons in an otherwise terrific compact.
Sooo...one important performance spec for me in deciding whether to upgrade is how much shorter, if at all, shutter lag on the G15 is compared with the G10.
Can't wait for the lens tests to start up again. Hopefully the new Sigma 18 - 250 macro (testing screen shot above) and the Nikon 18 - 300 are at the top of the review list!
Good review.
Each of us has different learning needs/wants and we respond to different texts.
I, too, researched a number of HDR books before choosing Rick Sammon's HDR Photography Secrets for Digital Photographers.
Interestingly - since I've rarely found the Dummies books valuable for my learning style or needs - Robbert Correll's High Dynamic Range Digital Photography for Dummies is a solid and comprehensive book for beginners and intermediates.
My regular go-to HDR site is Trey's, which has a wealth of information and images.

This flash movie is a parody of Teen Titans featuring Raven. It uses footage from the cartoon itself. Even though this is a parody, it is extremely sexually explicit in nature and should be considered 'hentai' for viewers aged 18 and over.
dude it was freaking hilarious
Woah, what the hell?
I mean, for saying that you only animated a couple of short scenes which were both using a repeated 10 frame animation (like actual hentai) I'm surprised that this got into the top 5 at all.
I mean its just a childrens tv show and then you make a crude animation where one of them gets raped? I've got to say, I'm not impressed.
raven finally got what she deserved...well....maybe not ALL of it but hey cant complain
lol hilarious
My god

Dorothy Hurst sat in the shade Wednesday outside an evacuation center set up for more than 200 households threatened by the steadily marching wildfire in the rugged hills of the Napa-Lake county border.
In its second day, the Butts fire just northeast of Pope Valley grew to 3,800 acres in the steep rugged terrain of brush, oak and pine — perfect tinder after years of drought conditions. Fire has destroyed one home and damaged one residence and four outbuildings, Cal Fire officials reported late Wednesday.
Residents of the area, like Hurst, on Wednesday faced another night away from their homes as officials kept mandatory evacuations in place. Hurst, 63, remained in the same sundress she wore Tuesday when she and her family piled into cars with nothing but their dogs, leaving behind their home in the Beryessa Estates development. Hurst said all they can do is hope a legion of firefighters on the ground and in the air can keep the fire from destroying their rural community.
"It is what it is; we'll take what comes," said Hurst, who has lived more than 20 years in the remote development. "And hope to get home."
Butts Fire
The fire started just after noon Tuesday near a home on Butts Canyon Road, just north of the Aetna Springs Winery. A caller reporting the fire told Cal Fire officials the blaze started with someone whacking weeds. Cal Fire officials Wednesday said they still haven't confirmed how the fire started.
The blaze quickly grew and by nightfall was reported at nearly 3,000 acres. Tuesday night's cool temperatures and high humidity lessened the fire's ferocity and gave hand crews and dozer operators a chance to build lines around the fire and hinder its growth.

I don't think it's really much of a secret...at least to them. I just don't think that I've really been as honest as I should have.
You need to smile more often. I'm sure that it's a great one.
I really do look forward to talking to you. Knowing that you listen to me is pretty awesome.
I know that other girls tell you that you are sexy. It's true. However, I the reason I think your sexy has NOTHING to do with your looks. (I'll get into that in a little bit)
Your laugh is contagious.
I like how you still act like you don't know it's me when I call, lol.
You could possibly be the easiest person to shop for. Not that I've bought you anything, I just know what you want, lol.
Here are the reasons I think you're sexy::.
You listen
You have a job and aren't afraid off work.
You are a great father
You make me laugh all the time
You do what's right, even if other people don't understand
That's all for now. Trust me, there are more reasons......
I should send you a pic
Your marriage isn't going to last
I'm really going to miss you
You spoil the shit out of me
You don't have to
I love that you don't think you're amazing
Your smile makes me melt
You are possibly the funniest person I know
I'm not one to really throw that word around, seeing as how if I'm wrong, it could be bad. I just know that I didn't appreciate what was said. It all started off innocent. My status was something like "Be honest. Tell me what you REALLY feel about me." Here is the rest.
I ended up starting somewhat of a debate on facebook with my status. I figured I'd bring it here and see what some of you all thought.
I was at work and saw 2 BARELY teen girls dressed in clothes that were, in my opinion, not appropriate for their age. I'm talking shirts that covered only their chest, shorts that barely went over their butt, their shirts also cut down low. One girl had a belly button ring and the other had writing on their side to look like a tattoo. You could tell that they were doing it to look older.
Thing is, who do you blame? Is it just a kid being a kid or is it up to the parents?
I know my opinion, I just want to see what everyone else thinks.
Oh, and anyone want to give me 4 credits???
I know Wikipedia isn't the best place to get your information, but this time it's all true.
If you read the blog before this one, you'll know we had a really bad storm here (wv)...it was actually more than just my state..but yeah. Here is what happened. If you're interested in a read, go for it :) It has pictures of the storm cell(s) that came thru.
I won't be on here long, but I feel like I should do a little update. If any of you have watched the news, yes it's made THAT kind of news, you know that a huge storm went through my area.
Here is the link to the evening news::
We were out of power for about two days. That meant no air....and yes, we had around 100 degree weather. It sucked so bad. Getting ice and gasoline was impossible. Put it to you this way, if you wanted gasoline....you had better have enough to wait about 30 minutes or longer to get it. And if you needed ice, you were shit out of luck. My boyfriend and I waited for 30 minutes to get some. We ended up snagging 7 bags. We were told that it was coming from three different stores that didn't have power. We THOUGHT it was coming in a big truck, nope. They brought the ice in a compact car's trunk. It was gone in as little as 2 minutes. It was really bad.
Many gas stations are now out of gas...waiting for trucks to deliver more. =/
But anyway, we are all fine and are very grateful. Hope anyone that was hit by this is okay.
Love you all :)
I received a book for my birthday. I got Fifty Shades of Grey. I read the book in 2 days. I have to say that I'm addicted, lol. I went right out and bought the second book. I've finished it. Now I must go and buy the final book in the series. Grrr!!
I really hate when I get wrapped up in something. It seems so take up all of my time and then I end up ignoring my friends. I'm sorry.
However, I have to say..........I want a man like that. I do.
Any takers?
So I'm having issues with my dead beat of a father ex husband. He does NOTHING with our children. He's living with his parents and even when the boys are there, he stays in his room and his parents watch them. He pays for nothing for the boys...I have to pay for it all.
I'm wanting to do something about it in family court, but I'm not sure exactly what I can do. I'm not really sure how I can prove it...or how I can even ask HIS mother to take my side in court.
My boys are possibly too young to really even talk to the judge. I know for a fact that they are too young to tell the judge who they want to live with. They aren't infants, but just not at the age to really be taken seriously.
Anyone have any advice? Ugh. I hate asking.
Maybe I'm just being picky and a tad bit bitchy...but I think if you are going to ban a picture of mine from being a primary, then anyone else with a picture like mine should be banned also.
I, myself, don't think there is anything really wrong with either picture and I don't really want to get the other girl in trouble, but damn. Can someone tell me how in the hell her's is okay to use and mine isn't? You see more in hers than you do in mine.
I don't know why her's didn't link...but copy and paste it.

If you want to implement an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system, then you will undoubtedly have to answer a lot of questions before you can be sure that the system will run smoothly. But before anything, you should ask a simple question about deployment. Will you need to host your ERP system on-premise using your own servers or will you be using a SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) provider? It will be a major decision, since you will need to choose who handles the hardware and software.
Big companies usually tend to want to deploy on-premises. This could be a because of paranoia, but big companies want total control over their data. But many smaller companies will opt to choose the SaaS method so they can save on upfront capital expenditures. Since they won't have to buy their own hardware, the SaaS option will be cheaper (at least in the short-term).
But between the largest and smallest companies, there are businesses in the middle that have to make a tough choice. To make the best decision, they will need to weight three variables: total cost of ownership, customization options, and integration.
Customizing an ERP system could prove to be expensive, and is actually one of the biggest reasons why ERP budgets tend to break. This is typically accompanied by bad press and leadership changes. There are stories of Fortune 1000 companies struggling mid-stream with their ERP implementations. Outside consultants are typically hired to assist in the implementation process, which can be very expensive.
Sometimes, company executives insist on customizing every detail of an ERP system. For these companies, the best option would be to own the software and host it in-house. You can hire a third party to host it - that would still be considered being in-house since the software license is still owned by you. They will simply be setting it up at a data center.
When comparing ERP systems, be sure to consider the customization options that the vendor offers. Some SaaS ERP vendors allow users to customize reporting tools, but since the same software is used for all customers, major changes cannot be made. For instance, you may be able to place a logo on your screen or customize which information is displayed on dashboards, but you won't be able to make any core changes to the software.
But there are a number of benefits to using SaaS software providers. They tend to learn a lot from their costumers, and they will share some of this knowledge when you suddenly run in to different problems. If your company can accept a few unexpected changes and minor details, then you can save quite a bit of resources. More importantly, you will not have to spend money on expensive consultants.
It is also important to consider what types of hardware and software can be incorporated into the ERP system. Common Windows-based apps will probably integrate easily but if you are running complex Linux applications, you should probably check with the vendor whether they will be able to integrate with the software. These issues will not come up if you host the software yourself since you will be able to directly make changes to the software to accommodate any needs that may come up. This is a major reason why companies choose to host the software themselves.
Lastly, businesses should think about the long-term costs of the ERP software. Most SaaS providers will charge their customers (either per user or per usage) once a month, which allows you budget to be predictable. On-premise ERP has much higher initial costs, but after about 3-5 years, it can actually be cheaper than SaaS. Keep in mind though that there will be some growing pains as you customize and try to perfect your ERP system. The software will also need to be maintained and upgraded every now and then, which will also add to the total cost of ownership.
