It's well balanced information that is useful on a daily basis. I'm very satisfied with the Executive Edition. I start each day with SES and a big cup of coffee!- By Tom Ruiz, EVP Sales, Volcom
Before Shop-Eat-Surf, there were two sites I paid for premium content on. One is Surfline, the other is the Wall Street Journal. One is about all things surf, the other, the best business content site in the world. Shop-eat-surf is the intersection of those two worlds. Shop-Eat-Surf provides everything from coverage of events, people, brands and trends. However, beyond the Executive Edition "wall" is more meaty analysis and interpretation of financial statements, business models and brand philosophies; why certain brands and companies are succeeding, where others aren't. The Executive Edition is a must have read if the business of surf and action sports are on your radar screen.- By Jeff Berg, Co-owner, Surfline
MOSS ADAMS: Webinar 12/2 on internal controls to increase the value of your business.
AGENDA: 12/30 deadline to pre-register for Jan. 5-6 Long Beach show.
CIT TRADE FINANCE: Middle-market retailers cautiously optimistic for holiday.
Details on Industry Insight.
Agenda kicks off the winter trade show season this Thursday with a two-day show in a new venue, the Long Beach Convention Center.
We asked Agenda President Aaron Levant some questions about the new location and what to expect at the show.
The great thing about the Long Beach Convention Center is that we can finally put the whole show on one open floor plan.
In the past, we have had to segment the show into different rooms on different levels and last summer with the tent outside we were really segmented. So this Long Beach venue will be the first time we can really create an easy/open floor plan for buyers to navigate.
Within that open floor plan, we will still have sections and brand groupings: The Berrics Agenda, Primer at Agenda and Agenda Snow. For other non-branded sections on the show floor like Street, Lifestyle and Surf, we don't create separate branding but put like-minded brands near each other and create neighborhoods on the show floor.
I don't have an exact number yet on retailers, but this is sure to be our largest show to date by far. I believe we should exceed any past show records by over 20%.
We do not have too many new features this show. We are trying to deliver a great show and stick to our basic formula that has always worked for us in the past - no gimmicks like skate contests, girls in bikinis and no athlete signings. We are just sticking to the basics of putting great buyers and brands in the room with each other and letting them do their thing in a focused environment.
For the January show, you will see the return of Primer at Agenda, our independent brand section, and you will see Agenda Snow, which only happens during the winter show.
We will also be adding a long board skate section for hard goods and a small addition of Agenda BMX.
We are also partnering with Transworld to put on its Business Awards the first night of the show.
The feature I'm most excited about is the Food Truck court. We will be having some of LA's top food trucks on site vending up some amazing grub like FatBurger and Kogi trucks to name a few.
Parking should be really easy this show. Long Beach is set up to handle events much larger then Agenda. They have 4,000 spaces in the building and thousands more at the surrounding hotels and surface lots so I think parking should be very simple this show.
This season we turned down a record number of brands to get into the show, so there is definitely still a strict jury process to get into Agenda.
At the same time, now that we have so much more space, we also let in a record number of great new brands and allowed some of the brands that have been with us to spread out and take more space.
I truly believe we still have a "curated vibe" but we also expanded our view of what the industry is to get a full range of products and brands that the buyers are looking for and to give some new brands a chance to shine.

Ashton Kutcher's Daughter Is 'Very Cute,' Says Rumer Willis
ABC/Randy Holmes(NEW YORK) -- Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher split nearly three years ago, but her daughter Rumer Willis still has good feelings about her former stepfather.When asked whether they stay in touch, Willis, 26, said, "every once in a while.""I reached out to him when he had his baby ... which is so awesome," she said during an interview with Access Hollywood. "I saw photos of her. She's very cute."Kutcher, 36, is now engaged to Mila Kunis, 31. They welcomed their daughter, Wyatt Isabelle, in September.

Lifetime's "Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B" Premieres Saturday
Photo credit: Christos Kalohoridis/Lifetime(NEW YORK) -- Alexandra Shipp has the title role in the new Lifetime movie Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B, a project that does not have the support of the late R&B singer's family.Shipp says she understands their position. "They've had a lot of loss in their lives and I don't blame them for not wanting to be a part of it," she tells ABC News. "I think it can open up some wounds and stuff like that. I just hope that they get a chance to see it one day and they can see that this is a movie celebrating Aaliyah's life."Shipp says she tried to reach out to them "but when people don't wanna be found, they don't want to be found."The film covers Aaliyah's life from age 10 to her untimely death at 22 in a 2001 plane crash, and also touches on the singer's controversial relationship with R. Kelly, who executive produced her debut album, Age Ain't Nothing but a Number. "R. Kelly was such a huge pivotal role in her career. You know, he helped launch it," says Shipp.But the biopic, which is executive produced by Wendy Williams, also touches on their eyebrow-raising marriage in 1994 when Aaliyah was 15 and R. Kelly was 27."When it comes to her relationship with him, as any adult knows, you never know what goes on behind closed doors. So we don't necessarily show that," Shipp teases. "What we show is what we know. We know that they loved each other enough to get married. We know that he helped her career and that's it."Because the family openly disapproved of the film, they didn't release the rights to Aaliyah's music. Still, Shipp rises to the challenge and sings all of the music in the biopic."I try and be as technical as I possibly can," Shipp says of recreating Aaliyah's hits. "So we would listen to the line over and over and over again and then I'd sing it. So even though it does sound like me because I'll never sound like Aaliyah -- I mean, Aaliyah is the only one who can sound like Aaliyah -- I tried really hard to kind of match her tone..."Shipp, who was only 10 years old when Aaliyah died, says she learned a lot about the singer while working on the film."I learned about Aaliyah's ring that her grandmother gave her. It was her great-grandmother's and her grandmother had it resized and gave it to her so that she could always have a piece of her with her and then she died a few years later," she explains. "When I was filming that scene it was really emotional because my grandmother's been sick and I love her so very much and I pray for her all the time. And so when I was doing that scene it just brought up emotion for me."
Lifetime's Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B, based on Christopher Farley's bestselling biography Aaliyah: More Than a Woman, premieres Saturday at 8 p.m. Eastern time.

Jennifer Lawrence Talks Growing Up a Tomboy in Louisville
ABC/Fred Lee(NEW YORK) -- Jennifer Lawrence is the face of Dior and always a breathtaking presence on the red carpet.But it wasn't always that way, the Oscar winner, 24, told Madame Figaro. Indeed, she admitted she used to be kind of a tomboy."I hated my first dress for red carpets, because I never felt comfortable in these glamorous dresses," she said.She continued, "In Louisville, when I was a child, I inherited clothes from my two older brothers [Ben and Blaine] that I put together with things that my mother unearthed out of yard sales. I was a tomboy."But after starring in The Hunger Games franchise and winning an Oscar for her work in Silver Linings Playbook, Lawrence said, "only recently [is it] that I discovered the beauty of high fashion."Still, Lawrence admits she has always been hesitant to be thrust into the A-list celebrity world. She waited "three long days" before accepting her role in The Hunger Games when she received the offer a few years back."I dreamed of independent films. I was afraid of being identified as a prominent character for young people," she said.She wasn't sure she wanted "this life," she said. But "I was afraid of one day regretting having missed the [opportunity]. Since then, I realized that whatever I do, at any level, I would lose a part of my private life."

The Remarkable Thing That Happened After Diem Brown's Death
Mark Sagliocco/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- Friends and family surrounded Diem Brown when she died today at the age of 32.
But the beloved reality star may just have given them a sign that she's now in a better place after battling cancer for the third and final time.
Best friend Julie Rotondi told People magazine that after she died in a "peaceful" manner, the most remarkable thing happened.
Brown died at 10:22 a.m., exactly the same time she was born in 1982. Soon after, the hospital's fire alarm triggered.
"There were strobe lights, and it was so loud – like a dance club," Rotondi said. "All of our hearts stopped. It was classic Diem. She was up there having her dance off. It could not have been more fitting. It was like, 'Yep. She did that. "
The MTV veteran and MedGift creator never gave up, even after doctors told Brown there was nothing they could do when her colon cancer had spread to her liver and lymph nodes.
"We kept telling her, 'This is not giving up. You have fought enough,'" Rotondi said.
Brown eventually decided to spend her final hours with friends like Rotondi and fellow journalist Alicia Quarles.
Brown's sister Megan had been stuck in traffic this morning, but the brave 32-year-old held on long enough to see her sister, along with her father and brother.
"It's a beautiful day out," Quarles said.

MTV Reality Star Diem Brown Dies at 32
Neilson Barnard/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- MTV star Diem Brown died Friday after battling cancer for the third time, People magazine reports. She was 32."MTV is tremendously sad to hear the news that Diem Brown has lost her long battle with cancer," MTV added via a statement. "We send our deepest condolences to her family and friends. Diem was a true fighter and brought passion to everything she touched. We will miss her."Just a couple days ago on Tuesday, the reality star had asked for prayers and advice, tweeting, "my doctors are seemingly giving up but I won't & can't rollover. Whatever option I have to LIVE I'm grabbing!"Brown had been a longtime blogger for People.com, documenting her struggle with cancer for the past couple of years.
Last month, Brown revealed to People magazine that her latest bout with cancer had spread from her colon to her liver and lymph nodes."I was blown away. It really crushed a little bit of my spirit," she said.After dealing with intense pain and side effects from the chemotherapy, Brown said she was at her lowest point in late October."It was such a dark, dark, dark, dark place. I would go in the bathtub and just lay down for hours, with the water running," she added. "I kept getting worse, and I felt like it would never end."But through it all, Brown never lost her spirit and always stayed positive, even thinking about her post-cancer life."I'm going to have a family and get married and the whole American, 2½ kids, white-picket-fence dream," she said. "It's something that's really important to me, because it means a long-term future."Brown -- who made her MTV debut on Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Fresh Meat in 2006 -- had been dealing with cancer for almost a decade. First with ovarian cancer in 2006 and then again in 2012. Then in 2013, she beat cancer once again. Still once again, the MTV star was diagnosed with cancer this past August, this time in her colon.The Duel and The Gauntlet competitor found out about the news while filming a reality show.

Jim Carrey Gave a Stranger a Bowl Haircut on "Jimmy Kimmel Live"
Jimmy Kimmel Live/YouTube(LOS ANGELES) — Jim Carrey is bringing back the bowl haircut.The Dumb and Dumber To star cut strangers' hair on Jimmy Kimmel Live Thursday, giving a haircut reminiscent of his character, Lloyd Christmas -- and later shaving a woman's head."In 1994, when Dumb and Dumber came out, the most famous haircut for women was the Rachel, and the most famous haircut for men was the Lloyd," Kimmel said.Carrey threatened to poke himself in the eyes with his barber's scissors. "Keep in mind Jimmy, while I'm doing this cut I'm going to have to resist the impulse to turn the scissors on myself," Carrey said.Carrey combed the hair of his first volunteer, Colby, forward, placed a metal bowl on top of his head, and then trimmed across."That's nice. That's beautiful," Carrey said.
He didn't use the bowl for his second participant, Deanna, haphazardly chopping at her blond tresses -- and even wearing some of her hair as a mustache -- before finishing the job with a razor."That's unexpected," Kimmel said."Yes. It symbolizes the control I have over the mind of my fans," Carrey said.Deanna expressed remorse over the haircut. She just wanted to see the show, maybe get an autograph, she said. So Carrey tried to buzz his signature into her hair, zaniness courtesy of Lloyd Christmas.
Carrey later discussed his breakout role on the early 1990s sketch comedy show In Living Color. Sometimes, he said, he wishes he were still on the show, just for the chance to address popular issues, referencing Kim Kardashian's photo spread in Paper magazine."Great, she's backing up," he said, beeping."I'm all right with that though," Carrey added. "I think it's fantastic. If Kanye's OK with it, I'm down. I'm just glad he has a good place to park his bicycle."

Nate Parker Plays the Hero in "Beyond the Lights"
Relativity(NEW YORK) — Red Tails actor Nate Parker stars as a young cop in his first big screen leading role in Beyond the Lights."I portray a character named Kaz Nicol, and basically it's a story about a woman who is on the brink of super stardom and she's had to sacrifice her soul in many ways. My character comes in at a very critical moment in her life and through a series of events he's able to save her life physically but through their relationship they basically come to save each other," he explains to ABC News Radio.Although it's his first leading role, Parker says he didn't feel any pressure on set."It doesn't take any more or less work to build a character. When you accept a role you say to yourself how can I bring this character to life in the context of the project? And you become a servant of the overall film," Parker explains. "And if you do your job well, whether you have one line or all the lines, then you're successful.""So I try not to put any extra pressure on myself," he adds.Parker stars opposite British starlet Gugu Mbatha-Raw. The two share some intense and playful love scenes in Beyond the Lights. Parker says its a chemistry the two honed long before they even walked on set."We went to dinner. We went to Disneyland. We spent a lot of time together, as much as we could, before filming," he says. "And then the rest, it was written. The words were, in some sense, almost poetic and they just worked in a way. The rest was in the dialogue, getting you there."In the romantic-drama, Parker portrays the onscreen son of Danny Glover's character, Captain David Nicol. Captain Nicol wants his son to follow in his footsteps, to not only become a top cop but eventually a politician in Los Angeles.On filming with Glover, Parker says, "It was great. When you work with people of his stature, you know icons, you can only hope that they'll be as giving as you need them to be. ...He was very open to my thoughts and we were able to...put together a relationship that seemed authentic."Beyond the Lights, written and directed by Love & Basketball creator Gina Prince-Bythewood, opens nationwide Friday.

"Fifty Shades of Grey" Trailer Debuts During "Scandal"
Focus Features/Universal Pictures(NEW YORK) — Gladiators -- that is, fans of ABC's Scandal -- got an extra eyeful during the show Thursday night, as the full-length trailer to the eagerly anticipated adaptation Fifty Shades of Grey made its debut during the drama. Set to Beyonce's "Haunted," the coming attraction only hints at the sexy content that made the E.L. James book a bestseller and the first in a hit trilogy. The snippet centers on the budding -- and eventually passionate -- relationship between billionaire Christian Grey, played by Jamie Dornan, and Dakota Johnson's Anastasia Steele, the young woman whose eyes are opened thanks to Grey's penchant for sexual bondage and dominance."My tastes are very singular," Grey says. "You wouldn't understand."
"Enlighten me then," Steele says, before Grey opens the locked door to his sex toy-filled "playroom." The Sam Taylor-Johnson-directed film also stars Jennifer Ehle, Rita Ora and Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden.It will hit theaters on Feb. 13, 2015 -- just in time for Valentine's Day.

Movie Review: "Beyond the Lights" (Rated PG-13)
Relativity(NEW YORK) — Done no favors by a marketing campaign that reeks of "been there done that," Beyond the Lights is a surprising film buoyed by a terrific performance from star Gugu Mbatha-Raw, opposite the vastly underrated Nate Parker. Mbatha-Raw (Belle) plays Noni, an up-and-coming pop singer who's just starting to blow up, thanks to a collaboration she does with a rapper named Kid Culprit, played by real rapper Machine Gun Kelly. Noni is gifted, blessed not only with a gorgeous voice, but looks to match. Not helping, her overbearing mother and manager, Macy (Minnie Driver), encourages her child to show more skin than singing talent. When we first meet Noni, she's a lost soul, drowning in her own ocean of over-sexualized hype. She's just won her first Billboard award, she's dating Kid Culprit, and seemingly has everything she's ever wanted. That's when she decides to leap off her hotel balcony. Don't worry, she never makes it to the ground: the police officer assigned to her hotel room grabs her as she falls. She wants to let go, but the officer, Kaz, played by Parker, looks her in the eyes and says, "I see you." Noni allows him to pull her to safety. The rumors start to fly that Noni tried to throw herself off the balcony. Macy buys Kaz's uneasy silence with a $10,000 check, and at a press conference they tell the world Noni was drunk and slipped. Noni is drawn to Kaz and it soon becomes clear why. He's an intelligent, confident, no BS, quietly ambitious dude who hopes to affect change by running for office. These two, of course, fall for each other, but there are plenty of obstacles standing in the way of their finding happiness together. I love the job writer-director Gina Prince-Bythewood does here, sure-handedly presenting a story that unfolds like that moment up on that balcony, with Noni ready let go as Kaz struggles to save her. She keeps the cameras close and the dialogue economical, finding the truth in her actors' eyes. It helps that in Mbatha-Raw, Parker and Driver, she has three actors who excel at delivering truth. Had Beyond the Lights been much less predictable and allowed the protagonist to be even more independent when finding her truth, it would've been a truly special movie, with something a little more important to say. That said, it's still a solid and entertaining film that tugs at the heart. Three-and-a-half out of five stars.

Movie Review: "Dumb and Dumber To" (Rated PG-13)
Universal(NEW YORK) — Humor is subjective, and I strongly subject to Peter and Bobby Farrelly's Dumb and Dumber To. (Thanks for allowing my small tribute to the movie's fondness for malapropisms.) The plot: for 20 years, Harry (Jeff Daniels) has been visiting Lloyd (Jim Carrey) every week in a nursing home, where Lloyd has been in a catatonic state since the first movie. Right away, we're treated to the first two Farrelly Brothers' trademark gross-out visual gags, both of which involve Lloyd's bladder catheter, and its forced removal. If you've seen the trailer, you know Lloyd's catatonia was only a two-decade-long joke he played on Harry, which Harry found "awesome!" Harry needs a kidney but can't find a donor. He turns to his Asian parents for help but is crestfallen when they inform him he was adopted -- a telegraphed joke, but funny nonetheless. Instead, his father gives Harry a box of his old mail, which includes a postcard from Fraida Felcher (Kathleen Turner), informing Harry she's pregnant. The postcard was sent more than 20 years ago which, Lloyd deduces, means Harry has an adult child who probably has a kidney to donate. Turns out Harry has a daughter, named Penny (Rachel Melvin), and when Fraida shows Harry and Lloyd a picture of her, Lloyd falls in love -- which will, of course, cause tension between our two favorite idiots. Fraida also informs them that she gave Penny up for adoption. So off go Harry and Lloyd to track down Penny, while avoiding a diabolical plan by Penny's stepmother, Adele (Laurie Holden) and her lover (Rob Riggle) to kill Penny's father, a rich scientist, and inherit his fortune. This is where I tell you how much I liked Dumb and Dumber, how I consider There's Something About Mary a classic, and how Kingpin is one of my all-time favorite comedies. I like the Farrelly Brothers. That said, this is also where I tell you I didn't laugh out loud once while watching Dumb and Dumber To. I giggled quietly and smiled a lot, but not one visceral, honest-to-goodness, uncontrollable laugh. Seeing Harry and Lloyd, 20 years later, is on the one hand nostalgic and comfortable, but it also at times feels desperate, which is in turn awkward and uncomfortable. Even so, the years haven't diminished Carey and Daniels' ability to play these characters. It has, however, diminished the Farrellys' ability to be original. They're victims of their own amazing and hilarious success, and Dumb and Dumber To feels like they're trying too (to?) hard to recapture the magical, winning formula of their early films. In the end, Dumb and Dumber To is like a mildly amusing, 50-year-old guy in a bar, dressed like a hipster, awkwardly hitting on 21-year-old girls: it's kind of funny, but it's also kind of depressing. Two-and-a-half out of five stars. Follow @ABCNewsRadio Copyright 2014 ABC News Radio
Why Idina Menzel Calls John Travolta's Flub 'The Best Mistake That's Ever Happened to Me'
ABC/Adam Taylor(NEW YORK) -- At the Oscars this past March, John Travolta famously flubbed Idina Menzel's name.However, Menzel -- or, as Travolta called her, "Adele Dazeem" -- has a great attitude about it."It's the best mistake that's ever happened to me," she told Redbook magazine. "Just having the kind of success where people might know my name — my real name! It took me a long time to stop chasing it and just embrace it." These days, Menzel's name is bound to be heard more and more as the Frozen star, 43, is promoting her new holiday album, starring in her Broadway show, If/Then, and of course, being a mother to her son with her ex-husband, Taye Diggs. Balancing work with motherhood can be tough."The guilt is the thing that we as women all feel, whether we stay at home or we work. There are a lot of double standards with the way the men in our lives see how we make those choices," she said. "I think there's an accounting for how much time I spend with my son, and men don't have to account for how much time they spend with their child. It hurts to feel that's a judgment being made. Because we're already judging ourselves."Fitting in a dating life, then, has been nearly impossible."I'm open to it. I just don't have a lot of time," she said. "They'd have to meet me at, like, midnight after the show, and that's kind of slutty, isn't it?"

Poppy Montgomery Gives Birth to a Baby Boy
Jeffrey R. Staab/CBS ©2011 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved(NEW YORK) -- Poppy Montgomery's baby boy is here!
The Unforgettable star and her husband, Microsoft executive Shawn Sanford, welcomed a son, Gus Monroe Deveraux Sanford, on Tuesday, her rep told People. He weighed 7 lbs., 4 oz. and was 20.5 inches long.
"Mom and baby are doing well," the rep said in a statement.
This is the couple's second child together. Their daughter, Violet Grace, is 19 months old. Montgomery also has a 6-year-old son, Jackson, from a previous relationship, and Sanford has two children from a previous marriage.
Montgomery, 42, announced this past July that she was expecting a boy.
"I've been hiding it until this very moment," she said during appearance on Late Show with David Letterman. "I've been filming my show! I've been doing all my stunts and running and leaping, but I haven't told anybody because I didn't want them to treat me differently, but I do [want some special treatment]. I want people to give me their seats. I want them to open doors."

Driverless Cars: What's Holding Back the Automobile of the Future?
As convenient as cars are, each and every one of us has gotten frustrated at the unbearably slow driver in the left lane or the rude driver who refuses to drive any farther than two feet away from your rear bumper. Unsafe driving practices such as these cause traffic jams, accidents, and deaths every single day on our roads and highways. And what is the root cause behind all of these issues? Humans.
Google, the company behind some of the most influential technological innovations of the past decade, is committed to creating the safest, most practical, eco friendly car of the future: the driverless car. In his 2010 TEDtalk entitled "Rethinking the Automobile," Sebastian Thrun, head of Google's Driverless Cars project, describes a world where computer-driven cars actively reduce emissions, decongest traffic, save money on gas, and most importantly, save lives. The project, using the eco friendly Prius, has advanced to a point where on the road tests are successfully taking place (accident-free too), but there is room for debate on how feasible these cars actually are in real life.
The inherent problem with driverless cars is that they have to interact, and react, to human-driven cars presently on the roadway. How can a driverless car replace sheer human intuition and react to the ever-changing environment on our roadways? Moreover, can Google create a system that eliminates any chance for a driverless car to get into an accident? Needless to say, the courts will also have a lot on their plates if, and when, this technology comes into fruition. Will all of the blame be placed on actual drivers in the case of an accident with a driverless car, or will faulty technology end up being the scapegoat in some cases?
The benefits of functional driverless cars are abundant, but the reality is that Google, as well as those who govern our roadways, have a long way to go before we can abandon the control of driving cars ourselves and let computers take the wheel.

Joseph Martin says:
Driverless cars it shows how technology develops now days, due to advanced technology we have witnessed various types of develop in the past. Now days also the era is repeated at regular intervals, driverless cars it indicates towards robot technology and automative technology that drives the car automatic.
Thomas Williams says:
I think the idea is clever and the plentiful benefits that it is packaged with, makes it all more attractive. Everyone wants uncongested roads and less emissions and this idea could be the solution to them all. Furthermore, when computers start to take the wheel, humans will not need to take up driving license anymore which saves time and most importantly, money. However, to what extent can we relay our trust on computers? Even the most advanced technology could be corrupted with evolving virus and worms. And are we ready to be stuck in a locked car in the middle of the road with no way out? All these factors should be pre-determined before actually launching the brilliant idea.
"Yes, One Planet Living is a good banner, as the meeting agreed. But the crucial thing is the ecological footprinting, i.e. measuring the effects of what is being done: this is what distinguishes it from other approaches to sustainability. As with energy management, what gets measured is much more likely to get saved. So we need to be transparent, we need to be accountable, it needs to be ..."
"One Planet Living and One Planet Bristol is a great idea - and it has some momentum too which is great. Whilst its present packaging, presentation and momentum is new, it however is no means new thinking either in general terms or in Bristol terms. Bristol Green Party (then called Bristol Ecology Party) had this thinking as its key objective from its foundation in the city in ..."
"I agree that we need some urban planning, but that planning needs to respect the free enterprise of the people. We want our governance institutions to serve and protect the people, not control us."
"Beautiful analysis.Amazing how Glaeser ignores basic trade economic theory: production areas v. consumption areas. Funny thing is, he and other economists have mentioned the advantages of production v. comsumption cities in other instances, but ignore it in this case. "

Understanding Envelope Tracking
Six LTE Receiver Measurements
Stealth Microwave introduces a new line of single and multi-carrier DPD power amplifiers for WiMAX, WCDMA and LTE in a variety of operating frequencies and power levels. A 50Ω RF input is standard and CPRI/OBSAI interfaces are planned for TMA models. The DPD technology employed is modulation-agnostic and can automatically adapt to any mix of carrier types within its operating bandwidth. Having baseband flexibility in an RF power amplifier allows for higher levels of integration with other signal processing functions such as digital interfacing, digital up-conversion, crest factor reduction, envelope tracking and linear effects compensation.

On this meticulously landscaped outdoor terrace, 17 private cabanas are situated next to the three heated pools. From your chic and spacious guest room, take in the panoramic view from the deep soaking tub in the all-marble bathroom.

Ft. Lauderdale Folly? The New Intracoastal Waterway and Grande Hotel and Yacht Club
Change is afoot in Ft. Lauderdale, where the Intracoastal Waterway will be transformed with a new megayacht marina and five-star hotel. Just when we thought southern Florida couldn't get any more developed (satiric novelist Carl Hiassan is no doubt rolling his eyes at this one), the $100 million project will double the docks in size, adding three-phase power, WiFi and broadband, water, and pump-out stations. The adjacent hotel--the old Marina Marriott-- will get a $50 million infusion to debut as the Fort Lauderdale Grande Hotel and Yacht Club. LXR Luxury Resorts aims to create the country's leading marina resort, stocked with 579 guest rooms, 33 yacht slips (for boats up to 300 feet), and 20,000 sq ft of meeting space. Spring specials are as low as $109 a night.
Travel Trends: "Grandtravel" to Europe and on Luxury Cruises
These days, more and more grandparents are traveling with grandchildren. The statistics indicate that Grand-pere and Mamie have more discretionary income and the free time to spend it in, thus one in every five trips taken with children is with Gramps. Where are these families going? Family cruises of the Galapagos with Ocean Adventures, operator of the luxurious small ship The Eclipse, and luxurious European castles such as the Crillon in Paris, Ashford Castle in Ireland, and Beau Rivage Palace in Switzerland-- all offering plenty of fun activities for kids, and specialized amenities like children's bathrobes and delightful kid's menus.

Loews Hotels Assumes Management of The Madison Hotel in Washington
One of our favorite DC establishments-- the landmark hotel The Madison-- has been acquired by Loews Hotels, and we're excitedly awaiting the refurbishment of the brand new Madison, A Loews Hotel. The Madison has long radiated classic, refined elegance-- its Georgian, Federal and American Empire furnishings and superb service symbols of a bygone era. After all, this is the hotel that has hosted every President since John F. Kennedy, as well as international heads of state and business leaders. And it's got a killer location. The Madison will no doubt be made even more lavish with Loews trademark touches. Plans are in the works for new flat screen TVs, luxurious terry products, and signature suites.

Tantalizing Turkey: the Ada Hotel in Bodrum
At the crossroads between East and West, built upon layers of history of ancient civilizations, Bodrum sits on Turkey's breathtaking Aegean coastline overlooking beaches framed by olive groves and the blue sea. Majestic ancient ruins, some dating from 5,000 years ago, imbue the city with culture and mythology. The Castle of St. Peter, built by the Knights of St. John in 1406, stands near remains of the Ottoman empire, and the grand Mausoleum of King Moussollos is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Sun-seekers, history buffs, and yacht owners alike flock to the gorgeous seaside port of Bodrum-- especially in the summer months. In this magical place, the Ada Hotel offers a luxurious respite cloaked in traditional culture and romance. The 14 guestrooms have balconies opening into the garden or overlooking the sea; the 90 sq-meter Executive Suite is equipped with a fireplace and separate Jacuzzi, and the Presidential Suite shares a private pool with the Penthouse Suite. The health center boasts an enormous Jacuzzi, luxurious Turkish Hammam, sauna and therapeutic treatment rooms.
Crazy about Caribbean Coral: Anse Chastenet in St. Lucia
Of Islands Magazine recent picks of the Best Snorkeling Spots Worldwide, Anse Chastanet in St. Lucia shines as an unspoiled natural paradise with awesome snorkeling right out the front door. Overshadowed by the landmark green peaks--the Gros and Petit Pitons--that provide the lush and dramatic backdrop for this island nation, the resort sits on 600 acres of rolling hills and tropical gardens overlooking the soft sparkling sand of the Caribbean's best beaches. The resort's rooms are each individualized: white-washed cottages with wrap-around-balconies, deluxe suites with enormous interiors and walls opening to extraordinary vistas, other rooms boasting verandahs framed by flowering blossoms, while the premium suites offer sublime showers-with-a-view. Besides the snorkeling on the pristine coral reef just offshore, the resort offers a world-renowned, first class SSI Platinum Pro/PADI dive facility. And after a day on the water (or playing tennis or mountain biking), the therapeutic delights of the Kai Belte Spa await.

The notable features of the renovation include three spa treatment rooms, a fully-equipped gym, and six private meeting rooms. And of course The Grill serves up some pretty tasty cuisine, and the English Tea Room is considered a London institution.

Toronto named second most reputable city in the world
Toronto second only to Sydney. Reigning reputable city, Vancouver, falls out of top 10 in latest ranking by the Reputation Institute
|Report an Error
Share via Email
View 2 photoszoom
When it comes to world reputation, Toronto's got something to brag about — ranking second out of 100 cities in a list released Thursday by the Reputation Institute.
Toronto placed behind Sydney and was the only Canadian city to crack the top 10. Stockholm was third, Vienna was fourth and Venice rounded out the top five. Baghdad had the worst reputation, followed by Tehran, Karachi, Nairobi and Cairo.
Reigning reputable city, Vancouver, fell to 14th, and Montreal placed 18. No other Canadian cities were on the list.
This is the third time the Reputation Institute has released a report ranking 100 cities, which are selected based on largest populations, largest GDPs and tourism draw.
The institute says having a strong reputation matters more than ever in an increasingly interconnected world, helping to attract foreign knowledge and talent, increase exports, improve diplomacy and attract tourists.
More than 22,000 people from G8 countries were polled online between January and February of this year for the list. They were asked about a city's appeal in terms of its economy, environment and government. Respondents were asked to only rate cities they knew.
Within the three categories, cities were judged on 13 attributes. The two most important were beauty and safety.
Although second overall, Toronto claimed the top spot when people rated which cities they would work in, placing ahead of Zurich. Toronto's reputation was also noted for being among the most improved — up more than 11 per cent from last year when it didn't make the top 10.
Of the three overarching categories, a city's environment carried the most weight. This included not only whether the city is beautiful, but if it offers appealing experiences like food, sport and entertainment, and if well-known artists, scientists, writers, etc., call it home.
Government came next, with people judging the city's safety, its political and legal institutions and if it's run by well-respected leaders.
The least important factor to respondents was the economy, which included what the city produces, if companies are headquartered there, how technologically advanced it is, how business friendly it is and its financial stability.
The Reputation Institute is a reputation-based advisory firm founded in 1997, with offices in 30 countries around the world. It also releases reports ranking the world's most reputable countries. Canada has claimed the top spot for the last three years.

Shakey Graves – And the War Came
It's a girl that smells like books but can't read. It's me dream gal. — Shakey Graves/Reddit
Um, yeah. That quote? I'd kinda like to tattoo that on my arm. Press pause on my heart while I fall onto my fainting couch.
This is what you get from Shakey Graves. Lyrical gems that raise eyebrows and flutter lashes. I just recently discovered this one-man-band singer/songwriter and with his recent release And the War Came all I can say is it's a CD that is best listened to when you need a little bit of blues and rock and roll to brood to.
Plus, he looks so deliciously dirty. I just want to roll around all over his face.
Yeah, I'll admit it.
Anyway, check out one of my fave Shakey vids.
New album info here.
Get it. Get it.
Sara Lippmann – Doll Palace
If there's anyone who deserves some sweet pimpin' it's Sara Lippmann. Back when I was a young'un, I'd read her short stories online and be in awe of her writing gloriousness. And now her new collection of short stories – Doll Palace – is a sucker punch read. Wonderfully constructed characters, choice dialogue and brilliant writing abound. Though the stories are short, a lot of emotion is invested in the read. The book kinda makes your heart ache just a little bit, which is okay because it's worth it. You'll just never get the stories out of your head.

Chocolate Chip Sour Cream Coffee Cake with Apples – Food52
We got music and reading covered, now onto the most delicious part: FOOD.
A recent recipe posted on one of my favorite websites Food52 is a delicious Chocolate Chip Sour Cream Coffee Cake with Apples. If that's not a mouthful, I don't know what is. I made it a few weeks ago and it lives up to its amazingness. It's kinda like the perfect boyfriend. It doesn't take a lot of effort, is just sweet enough, and it doesn't criticize you if you eat two slices in the bathtub.
I'm just sayin.
Recipe is here.

The Dalmatia region
Dalmatia, known for its coastline and islands, is the preferred holiday destination for native Croats and many tourists from surrounding countries. The sunny climate, beaches and clear turquoise water of the Adriatic are the main attraction for this beautiful region.
Island of Brac
The island of Brac, just off the coast from Split, is the most accessible of all the Dalmatian islands. Regular ferry and catamaran crossings make it easy to get away from city life and enjoy the more laid back feel of an island. The local people are enormously hospitable, and enjoy nothing more than ensuring tourists like their home town as much as they do!
Bol produces its own local wine, from vineyards along the coast. Local olive oil is of excellent quality and plentiful. At the harbour side, there is plenty of fresh fish for sale from the local fishing boats. Good food is very important to the local people and there is a large variety of dishes to choose from at the local restaurants and grills.
There are plenty of activities to enjoy during your stay, e.g. walking, cycling, water sports (wind surfing, kite surfing, kayaking, diving etc), rent-a-boat, boat excursions, rent a scooter or car and explore other towns on the island. We would be happy to provide further information on any activities or special interests you may have.

I was there in late October, after the summer season had ended (though even then the weather was mostly hot and sunny), so Bol was quiet, with relatively few tourists, and provided the peace and quiet… More
