Sina (SINA) +7.6% as praise pours in for its Q4 beat, which was highlighted by growing Weibo revenue (20% of total). Stifel predicts Weibo, which produced a 2011/2012 surge in R&D spend, will turn an operating profit in Q4. On its earnings call, Sina admitted Tencent's (TCEHY.PK) WeChat mobile messaging platform, which now has 300M registered accounts, contributed to a "slight decrease in average time spent" by Weibo users. But it insisted Weibo and its 500M+ accounts now have a "critical mass," and said it's investing heavily to increase Weibo's mobile reach.

Firdose Moonda in Centurion
February 23, 2013
Mohammad Hafeez, Pakistan's opening batsman, has fiercely denied being the team's weak link despite sub-standard performances with the bat. Hafeez registered his fourth single-digit score of the series to open Pakistan up for the second time in the match and leave them staring at a whitewash.
Despite posting his highest score of the series in the first innings - 18, Hafeez has had a disappointing time overall with just 43 runs from six innings. His record outside the subcontinent and Zimbabwe is similarly dismal with his average sitting at 15.59.
Still, he believes he is fit to continue as an opener at Test level. "I am really working hard in the nets, it's just that I got some good balls in the series," a defensive Hafeez said at the end of day two. "There is nothing wrong with my technique, it's just that the runs aren't coming and I am not performing for the team."
After surviving for more than an hour in Pakistan's first innings, Hafeez looked set to turn his fortunes around. He was driving well and looked more comfortable at the crease than he has thus far. But he succumbed to a familiar problem that ran through the entire line-up today.
As he tried to fend off extra bounce from Kyle Abbott, he popped a chance up to Dean Elgar at gully to spark Pakistan's collapse. In the second innings, it was the other problem Pakistan's openers have had that affected Hafeez - the struggle against the new ball with its pace and movement. Dale Steyn was keen to finish the job and steamed in, Hafeez was stuck in his crease and played on.
Deliveries like that, not his own inability to deal with them or the conditions, are what Hafeez thinks has hampered him this series. "The bowler did the basics right, especially by pitching the ball in the right areas," he explained. "And credit must go to them, especially to the debutant Abbott, who bowled really well. There is not too much in the pitch, there is some bounce which we expected."
Hafeez has also been under-utilised with the ball, except at the Wanderers where he made a major impact, but feels the captain "knows how to handle the players," and does not see that as a way in which he could have contributed more. Instead, he remains symbolic of Pakistan's malaise, although he also insists their troubles are not as serious as they look.
"In Cape Town we had some good moments. We couldn't put pressure on them but we are trying to fight it out. If we have one good partnership here, we can fight it out. We are very capable of scoring runs on any track. We need things to change. The series will go on and the boys will come out with some good performances," he said.
For that, Pakistan will need a Herculean partnership, even better than the one Younis Khan and Asad Shafiq put on at Newlands, which was the highest by visiting batsmen in South Africa in seven years. Younis is at the crease and Shafiq is yet to come. They also have Imran Farhat, who didn't come out to bat in the second innings. He was struck on the hand and has since had an x-ray taken, but will be fine to bat on the third day. Pakistan's chances still appear thin.
The South African attack, even without Morne Morkel and Jacques Kallis, remains potent and aggressive. Perhaps more importantly, they are uber-confident, something that was evident in Graeme Smith enforcing the follow-on. "We all thought of not having to bat last but it was a very positive move," AB de Villiers explained. "Graeme showed confidence in the bowlers. Hopefully in the morning session, it will move around a lot like it did today. I found it played quite well after lunch on day one but it does a bit in the morning."
Pakistan have had to contend with many early bursts in the series and those words will not give them any comfort. In this situation, only small goals are worthwhile, such as getting through the first over, then the first hour and then the first session. If they can achieve some of those, Hafeez may be proved right in some ways. "We lost the series but this game was a little bit different and we have to come up with some good performances," he said.

Nyjah Huston is quoted saying "Some girls can skate but I personally believe that skateboarding is not for girls at all. Not one bit." in the July 2013 issue of Thrasher Magazine. This statement has since gone viral in social media and the response in support of female skateboarders has been overwhelming. Though it is sad to see that opinions like this still exist, I think the support and encouragement of the other 99% is more important. Big thanks to Ed Tempelton and all the guys who have supported the girls for years!
Also, "that one girl" that did a 540 is actually two and their names are Lyn-z Adams Hawkins Pastrana and Alana Smith!
Santa Monica Daily Press featured hometown girl Lizzie Armanto in a recent article about her X Games Gold. Full article at smdp.com.
Cindy Whitehead's "GIRL is NOT a 4 Letter Word" complete available July!
A lifelong Southern California girl, Cindy Whitehead conquered the male dominated profession of pro vert skateboarding in the 70's, becoming one of the only women ever to be featured riding vert in the centerfold of a skateboarding magazine. Since then Cindy has gone on to coin the term "Sports Stylist," working with companies like Gatorade, Nike, the NBA, and athletes like Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant and Mia Hamm. Last year she made headlines by skateboarding down the closed 405 fwy in Los Angeles and now she has her own skateboard collaboration "GIRL is NOT a 4 Letter Word" with the biggest company in skateboarding - Dwindle Inc. She's chosen to use this collaboration to give back, by donating a portion of the proceeds to GRO "Girl Riders Organization".
Cindy will be speaking June 22, 2013, the day after National Go Skateboarding day, at the INNOSKATE event at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC, along with Tony Hawk & Rodney Mullen.
Cindy Whitehead started skateboarding in the 70s at the age 14 at Hermosa Pier doing Freestyle, but quickly switched to vert at Skateboard World in Torrance. At the age of 16 Cindy turned pro and became one of the few female Pros of the time and rode for Tracker Trucks, Sims Skateboards, Puma Tennis Shoes, Rector and Fly-a-Way Helmets. She quickly earned herself the distinction of being one of the top ranked professional female vert skateboarders in the U.S. for pool riding and the half-pipe. To this day, Cindy still holds the distinction of being the only female to be featured in an article and centerfold in the same issue of a skateboarding magazine and the only female skateboarder to be sponsored by Puma.
With almost no girl skateboarding contests in 2012, not much has changed since the 70s. "The younger generation is asking for more female boarder coverage, so why aren't we giving it to them? Why are we not promoting women skaters all this time and especially now?"
Dusters California, which originated from the heart and soul of skateboarding and embraces the heritage of the California skate and surf lifestyle, agrees.
Cindy and Duster's creative director Nano Nobrega collaborated to design the board "GIRL IS NOT A 4 LETTER WORD." In conjunction with Longboarding for Peace, the board not only acknowledges, but encourages ALL female skaters. A portion of the proceeds will go to GRO (Girls Riders Organization), a non-profit that helps to inspire, educate and support girls in action sports.
With Cindy's original artwork and lettering done in neon and metallic ink, and a skull embedded in the custom grip tape, the board will launch at the 2013 Vans Warped Tour and be available in stores in July.
So what advice does Cindy have for future female skaters? "Live life balls to the wall. Do epic shit. Take every dare that comes your way. You can sleep when you're dead."

Old institutions, new ideasOctober 16, 2014
Every waking moment contains a potentially life-altering experience and, in extraordinary instances, you can actually feel the impact of a situation in real time. Such was the case when I was recently afforded the unexpected (so soon) privilege of lecturing to a group of university students. Yes, I have spoken in tertiary school situations before but never in the context of a course designed to discuss so precisely the essence of my life's work to date. The self-explanatory name of the course was 'Activism and the Cultural Arts.' Read more

Oregon's 2013 season was without question one of the greatest in school history, as the Ducks finished with 11 wins for only the fifth time ever.
The year started out about as well as it could have with the team setting a school record 772 yards of total offense against Nicholls State on its way to a 66-3 win. Oregon jumped out to an 8-0 start, including a 42-14 win over UCLA, a game that featured the Ducks allowing only 64 yards to stud quarterback Brett Hundley. At that point the Ducks were considered a favorite by many to play in the National Championship Game.
Quarterback Marcus Mariota spent the first half of the season as the frontrunner for the Heisman trophy before a knee injury slowed him down. Unfortunately, the team as a whole slowed down with him, falling to Stanford and Arizona on the road down the stretch.
With the two late losses, the wheels appeared to be coming off in a season that had started out with so much promise, at least until the heroic efforts of Josh Huff led the Ducks against Oregon State in the final regular season game. This 36-35 win over the Beavers seemed to salvage the squad's confidence and national reputation.
All of this came under the direction of Head Coach Mark Helfrich, in his first year with that title, after being promoted from offensive coordinator in the wake of Chip Kelly's departure. The Ducks' 11-2 finish is the best record in school history during the first season under a new head coach.
While Helfrich certainly inherited a roster loaded with as much talent as the program has ever had and led by arguably the best quarterback in school history, that should not take away from his accomplishments in 2013.
Many fans were hoping for a conference title or a national championship appearance, but let's not forget all that Helfrich accomplished since taking over.
With the news that Chip Kelly would be heading to the NFL prior to the 2013 season, Helfrich had to hold Oregon's recruiting class together, a truly difficult task. Though the Ducks lost four-star prospect Dontre Wilson to Ohio State, the new head coach wasted no time meeting with each recruit to maintain the commitments.
Perhaps an even better indication of Helfrich's success thus far is the 2014 recruiting class. He convinced 20 players to sign, a result comparable to the 2010 recruiting class (the first full class under Kelly as head coach). The class includes the same kind of offensive firepower that Kelly was consistently able to bring in, (Royce Freeman and Jalen Brown come to mind.)
The continued success on the recruiting trail is encouraging, and shows that Kelly was not the entire program.
However, perhaps the most encouraging part of Coach Helfrich's first year was his impressive ability to push the idea that Oregon's Alamo Bowl appearance should be viewed as the first game of the 2014 season, which seemed to give the Ducks new life.
With Mariota back in full health, the Ducks' offense appeared to stop over-thinking and began to take what the Texas defense gave it. Oregon cruised to a 30-7 victory over the Longhorns, including two defensive touchdowns, and helped save the team (and its fan base) from entering the off-season with a deflated, uneasy feeling.
So, how does Helfrich's first year stack up to Oregon's past coaching greats of the modern era, such as Rich Brooks, Mike Bellotti, and Chip Kelly?
Brooks came to Eugene to coach a team that had not had a winning season in six years. In his first year in 1977, the Ducks went 2-9 but finished strong with a win over Oregon State (also 2-9).
Bellotti started in 1995, taking over the Brooks-led Oregon squad that in 1994 made its first Rose Bowl appearance in nearly four decades. In his first year, the Ducks went 9-3 (6-2 in conference).
Kelly's first season was extremely impressive, all things considered. After a truly disastrous opening loss to Boise State, Oregon rebounded to win the Pac-10 with a 10-2 regular season record, heading to the Rose Bowl to take on Ohio State.
Though they fell to the Buckeyes, Kelly's Ducks were clearly on the verge of greatness.
One interesting note to make is that none of these coaches were able to record more wins than his respective predecessor during his rookie season. Oregon went 4-7 in 1976, but fell to 2-9 under Brooks in 1977. In 1994 the team went 9-4, and Bellotti's team finished 9-3 in 1995 (with one more conference loss).
Even with the the Rose Bowl appearance, Kelly's 2009 squad won 10 games, the same as Bellotti's 2008 team.
This is an encouraging note to make, considering the fact that Helfrich's 11-2 record was a slight step back from Kelly's 12-1 mark in 2012.
While Helfrich was not exactly new to the program in 2013, having spent the previous four years as offensive coordinator, he had a lot to live up to. Kelly had taken the Oregon football program to heights it had not known before.
Though it is still too early to tell, Helfrich appears to be on the right track for great things, with a superb record, a strong recruiting class — and a decisive Alamo Bowl victory to finish his first year, which is is something even Brooks, Bellotti, and Kelly were unable to pull off.

Rap mogul Diddy has teased fans for his own amusement by canceling his nuptials, as he was scheduled to jump the broom Valentine's Day 2011.
Diddy broke the news Monday (November 15) morning but later called off the event.
"I decided to get Married today!!! I feel like a new man! Wedding is planned for valentines day!!! Your all welcome!! Feb 14th. Let's go!," Diddy tweeted.
"I also became vegan today!!!! :)"
"Weddings off. She aint sign the prenup!!! Lol. I'm just bullshittin'. Sorry I'm bored today! And I'm not a vegan. Let's goooo!" (Diddy's Twitter)
Last year, rumors circulated online that Diddy would marry his longtime girlfriend Kim Porter.
In 2010 it looks like some of us are really trying to grow up and leave certain habits behind. And Sean Puff Combs isn't an exception. The world renowned playboy is said to be cleaning house in a big way! Apparently after three kids, numerous child support issues and a child spawned from outside their union, Diddy is ready to propose to Kim Porter. From what I hear Diddy has purchased a 12 carat diamond engagement ring and has already handed Cassie her walking papers…And I hear there's in even bigger bombshell developing as Puff has [or is} filing for joint custody of his current illegitimate child with Sarah Chapman. My source promises me this information is air tight and won't be denied by the Puffster should be questioned with it. (Gyant Unplugged)
However, Diddy later denied the speculation and gossip.
"About to go to the unveiling of my wax figure at Madame Tussaud's on W 42nd street in NYC! Let's Go!!!," he wrote Tuesday (December 15) evening. "Attention all blogs. Not getting married. Not engaged. Sorry. Where do yall get this stuff from. Have a blessed night…RT @ralphmarston: Success is achieved not at random.Success happens when there is a decision & an effort & a commitment 2 make it happen." (Diddy's Twitter)
The rap mogul previously revealed that he was seeking therapy to help resolve love conflicts.
"I've gone to therapy for relationships I've been in, for tragedies I've been through," he revealed in an interview. "I think therapy is good. I've been called bipolar – I'm not; I just have very drastic mood swings. I went to therapy when Big died, but a lot of my therapy has been with love and relationships. I've had therapy about my relationship with Kim [Porter], about my relationship with Jennifer [Lopez]. Therapy helped me through a lot of those situations." (Ace Showbiz)

Fox News, no stranger to race-baiting, is engaging in a little sleight of hand to make Mitt Romney's birther line vanish from the public debate.
Stumping in Michigan on the eve of the GOP convention, Romney noted that he was born in Michigan and added, "No one's ever asked to see my birth certificate." The line drew howls of laughter from Sean Hannity and hearty approval from Rush Limbaugh.
But the birther line magically disappeared from the conversation at Fox, as Chris Wallace instead deflected attention to comments Paul Ryan made about hunting at the same event.
Wallace appeared on Fox & Friends Sunday to discuss the Republican convention and explain how the Romney campaign would need to draw a contrast with the Obama administration. Claiming that the Romney camp would "get a little tougher in their contrast," Wallace pointed to the Michigan campaign stop to highlight how Romney would try to "make that contrast pretty sharply, particularly for white, working-class voters." He explained:
"For instance, you saw Paul Ryan in Michigan on Friday talking again, reminding people of Obama's comment about gods and guns and people clinging to them, and he said, 'Well, I just want to say as a Catholic hunter, I plead guilty.' "
The New York Times reported on Sunday that Romney's birther "joke" was part of a harder line the campaign planned for the final months of the election, a push that also includes the false claim that President Obama has removed the work requirement from the federal welfare program.
Fox is pushing a Romney campaign falsehood that President Obama rather than Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) plans to gut Medicare as we know it.
Ryan has received strong criticism for his plan to transform Medicare into a voucher system. Trying to deflect the attacks on Ryan's plan, Fox contributor Angela McGlowan claimed that Obama's Affordable Care Act (ACA) cuts hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicare.
In fact, the savings the ACA makes to the Medicare program would not cause a decline in quality of care under Medicare, and Ryan has proposed identical savings. But Ryan's plan goes much further, ending Medicare as we know it by transforming it into a voucher plan.
From Fox & Friends Sunday:
McGLOWAN: Obama cut $700 billion from Medicare to pay for Obamacare. With the Ryan plan, it keeps people who are 55 and over on their plan now, so they don't have to worry about that. So this ad saying he would hurt the elderly -- his plan would actually keep it in place.
McGlowan's claim that the ACA cuts Medicare is false. An August 12 ABC News post explained that the supposed "cuts" to Medicare was the slowing of the growth of the program by ACA. Even Fox News Sunday guest host John Roberts explained that over a ten year period the ACA "would slow the growth of Medicare, I want to be very clear about that, not cut Medicare, but slow the growth by $500 billion."
Gail Wilensky, a former administrator of the Medicare program under George H. W. Bush, made clear in a June 28 Bloomberg article, "there are no reductions in the Medicare benefits promised in the law." In a June 28 post FactCheck.org similarly concluded that the ACA "stipulates that guaranteed Medicare benefits won't be reduced."

Fox News is helping Mitt Romney spread the false perception that the Obama campaign is trying to limit military voting in Ohio through a lawsuit that is actually intended to expand voting. This is part of a pattern in which Fox has consistently promoted misinformation that benefits the Romney campaign.
Previously, Fox twisted President Obama's "you didn't build that" comments, a misrepresentation that Romney echoed on the campaign trail and in several ads. Fox also distorted Obama's remark that the wealthy paid higher taxes under President Clinton and that "it worked," in terms of the country's economic success during the 1990s. The Romney campaign released an ad using the same distortion.
This time, Fox and Romney are spreading misinformation about a lawsuit that the Obama campaign filed last month seeking to allow all Ohio voters more time to cast their ballots, falsely suggesting that it actually seeks to restrict military voting.
Fox has aired multiple misleading segments on the lawsuit. Today, Fox & Friends Sunday hosted Pete Hegseth, a member of Concerned Vets for Freedom (and a former GOP Senate candidate), to obscure that the lawsuit simply seeks to overturn Ohio Republicans' attempts to limit early voting for civilians. Hegseth claimed that the defenders of the Ohio law limiting early voting see it as being "about allowing Ohio to give more opportunities to veterans."
That statement turns the intent of the Obama campaign lawsuit -- and the history of early voting in Ohio -- on its head.
Last fall, right-wing pundits at Fox News and elsewhere savaged Elizabeth Warren, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts, after video circulated of the former Obama administration official explaining that because business moguls take advantage of infrastructure and education funded by taxes, "[t]here is nobody in this country who got rich on his own." This morning, an unlikely group offered up comments strikingly similar to Warren's: the hosts of Fox & Friends Sunday.
During a segment on wealthy Americans who renounce their citizenship to avoid paying taxes, Clayton Morris offered up this advice to such persons: "Get out of here. But the point is, you've made all this money on the backs of the infrastructure, taxpayers that got you there, the roads that taxpayers pay so you can drive back and forth to work to get rich on a regular basis, and now you're going to leave so you're not going to pay taxes."
Alisyn Camerota added, "[A]re they just greedy? I mean, are they just -- after this country allowed you the entrepreneurial spirit, the freedom to make all this money, now you're going to leave it? I mean, that does send the message that you care more about your money than you do about your country."
Compare their comments to those Warren made during a campaign stop in August while pushing back against claims that asking the wealthy to pay more in taxes is "class warfare":
WARREN: There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there -- good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory and hire someone to protect against this because of the work the rest of us did. Now look. You built a factory, and it turned into something terrific or a great idea -- God bless! Keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.
There are some differences, of course. Fox & Friends being what it is, the segment concludes with the hosts determining that "the answer" is to "be part of the solution" by "stay[ing] here and... fight[ting] for better tax laws," followed by a series of jokes about European toilets. But both make the case that the private sector success of the wealthy is driven by government investments funded by the public. Fox, of course, has long been a chief promoter of the very claims of "class warfare" Warren criticized.
In October, Fox News' Andrew Napolitano responded to Warren's comments by labeling her a "crazy lady." Reason magazine editor in chief Matt Welch called them "the best advertisement I've seen in a long time for limiting the size and scope of government" and "terrifying." Other right-wing commenters termed her remarks "dunderheaded" "piffle" that made her sound like a "guileless, fevered Marxist."
It remains to be seen whether the right will similarly target the "Marxist[s]" on Fox & Friends' curvy couch.
Right-wing media are reacting to the Obama administration's decision to allow some young undocumented immigrants to stay and work in America by suggesting immigration takes jobs away from American workers. In fact, economists agree that more immigration does not take away jobs from Americans and is a net plus for the economy.
Fox News pushed the falsehood that the Department of Homeland Security's change in immigration policy will cause people "to go running over the border" in order to get their children a place to stay in America. In fact, the new policy, which exempts certain young undocumented immigrants from deportation, applies only to immigrants who have been living in the United States for five years.
After President Obama announced the new policy, Fox News has reacted with racially-charged slurs and falsehoods.
Today was no different with Fox & Friends Sunday co-host Clayton Morris saying that there could be "a major spike of illegal immigration in the short term, with people thinking, hey, here is my window of opportunity to be -- get my kids a place to stay in America" and co-host Juliet Huddy interjecting, "Now's the time to go running over the border."
In fact, people who immigrate to the United States now are not covered by the DHS policy change. The announcement states that to be eligible, an immigrant must have come to the United States before the age of sixteen, graduated from high school or be an honorably discharged veteran, and not have a criminal background. In addition, the immigrant must have lived continually in the United States for five years and been present on the date of the policy announcement, June 16, 2012.
Furthermore, immigrants must have "verifiable documentation" that they have been living here for five years:
Only those individuals who can prove through verifiable documentation that they meet these criteria will be eligible for deferred action. Individuals will not be eligible if they are not currently in the United States and cannot prove that they have been physically present in the United States for a period of not less than 5 years immediately preceding today's date.

Patagonia's Award Winning Nano-Air Hoody
Outside Magazine just awarded Patagonia's Nano-Air Hoody it's Gear of the Year award and we have them IN STOCK NOW!
Put it on, leave it on. From trailhead to summit and back, Patagonia's Nano-Air Hoody sets a new standard for technical insulation, merging the comfort and breathability of open fleece with the protection and warmth of a puffy.

At chilly belays or in frigid conditions, pull on a lightweight shell and the Nano-Air Hoody's thermal properties skyrocket.

The center-front zipper has a storm flap and zipper garage, while stretch binding at the cuffs and a dual-adjustable drawcord hem seal in warmth. $299

An ideal candidate has a background in user experience and creative team management and an eye for clean and artful design.
Java Engineer
Our products involve a lot of high-stakes low-level Java development and quite a bit of advanced research. We are attacking and solving some of the hardest problems in software development and need your help in doing so. The position is neither junior nor senior, everyone on the team has wide responsibilities and is expected to show initiative. You will have a full-time job in our awesome engineering team in Tallinn or in Tartu.
The daily life of an engineer includes writing awesome code in their favourite IDE (we kind of make fun of Netbeans users but if you can stand your ground then you are fine. Hi Mirko!), being able to test that code (launching JEE app servers, deploying apps and making requests and having automation for that) and then getting that code into a release. This involves a broad knowledge of tools and systems.
Another big part of the time goes into debugging. There are performance issues (have you used a profiler before?), there are stuff-not-working problems (trace your steps, use common sense, calm down and have a towel near you!), there are distributed problems (most tests run in a clustered environment) and also remote problems (you need to figure out what the customer is doing wrong, probably he is across an ocean). These problems all require a lot of analyzing skills and a broad knowledge of tools again. Of course you need to stay sane, friendly and happy in the process.
What will you need to know during the interview? First of all you need to be able to write code. If you can't code a simple program (think of writing a loop for starters) then we will have a tough time with you. If you have custom configured your favourite editor then bring your laptop! This will save you karma points. Also you will need to analyze real life (or not so real life) JVM issues. Knowing what a JVM is and the tools that come bundled is a big plus and shows that you know more than syntax. Towel again is a plus!
Available positions in Prague
Business Development Representative
We are expanding our sales team in Prague and looking for motivated professional to join our team. This is a great opportunity for multi-lingual sales candidates based in Prague with 1-3 years sales experience who are interested in software sales in an growing business with an amazing opportunity for growth. You will work in a dynamic environment and learn about Java technology, our products and our sales methodology.
In their own wordsIf you're like us, you need more than recruiter talk. So we asked our people to speak up. Not long ago, they were like you. Wondering if ZeroTurnaround is worth their time and talents. Here's what they said to tell you about their life and purpose at ZT.
ZT is special. We are not just a collection of individuals, but a team with the singular purpose of improving how software is developed and delivered around the globe. This sense of purpose I see around me is what makes it worthwhile to get up in the morning. The willingness, nay, the passion to learn and improve, is what makes our people stand out. All the folks that come here are capable to begin with. But pushing each other to develop to the fullest is what makes us amazing. Our customers are bespectacled fortysomethings in cubicles, long-haired young hipsters on motorcycles and family guys and gals working for the Man. But they can code, and that's what counts.
We are working on the bleeding edge of development, defining the rules of tomorrow, and feedback from the industry and the community fuels this loop like crazy. The company is packed with nutcase geniuses which sometimes adds a few steps to the journey, but delivers outstanding results. For proof, one needs to go no further than the first customer that popped to my mind: the US Federal Reserve. I suspected at one point that they printed the dollars that they used to pay us.
When you're thinking about what we do, think about your mom sitting at the computer doing online banking. Buying a book on Amazon, or ordering shoes online. She expects it all to work. Behind it are companies that deliver on those expectations. And inside those companies, the weight of the world is on the shoulders of a Java developer. That's our customer, the JRebel user. ZT is building products where we are the first customer. We build things that we would buy. It helps to provide a high return on investment to those who license our software. Which developer wouldn't want to shave off a 4-6 weeks off their annual workload!? If you're considering joining ZT, here's what I see in people around our offices. They're driven, hungry, and share a sense of mission. There's genuine earnestness, as well as a lot of (Estonian) sarcasm that's not jaded. They never want this wondrous journey to end. Our people just function that way. We've lucked out. Come, be a part of the ZT story.
My job is to figure out what users need to be happy and identify the most interesting and useful features to implement. In 2010 I met Jevgeni Kabanov at a technology conference and after we talked, I knew: those guys are doing something that I'm very interested in. ZT creates tools that people love and talking to them about our products is very inspiring. Sometimes we need to solve what at first sight seems like an impossible problem. However, sometimes 1+1 is 3 and we manage to build the aircraft while flying. I've learned a lot and there's even more to learn now! Not to say I'm stupid, but my colleagues are super-freakin'-smart guys!
I figure out what drives our business by answering the following questions: What are the business metrics that are meaningful to us; what goals do we need to have for these metrics in order for us to be successful; are we hitting those goals; why or why not? I also develop the processes to make the progression from prospect to potential customer to paying customer to repeat customer as painless and profitable as possible.My mission at ZT is to create a business that makes other businesses jealous. We want to be the best at everything. We want to have the best products, the happiest customers, the smartest business model. We want to have the brightest employees, the coolest systems, the most efficient processes. And we want to have the most fun while we do it. In short, we want to win at everything.I got a call from a former colleague, Alex Laats, who had recently signed on to ZT as President and COO. At the time, I was running the marketing department for a small business which was owned by a much larger business. Alex said he had a killer opportunity for me at an awesome company with great products and an amazing business model. I decided to come to ZT because the business has limitless potential and the team rivals only the 1992 United States Dream Team for greatest teams ever assembled.Everyone here is extremely motivated and driven to excel. The reason is that everyone knows what our goals are, and everyone knows whether we are hitting them or not. If we do not achieve our goals, we all redouble our efforts in order to hit them next time. When we do hit our goals, we all celebrate the success together. The energy in our office is amazing, and people are able to feed off it to push themselves to constantly do better, more amazing things.
You can usually find me sourcing large companies that are filled with Java developers just waiting to be saved from their redeployment times, or attempting to get the ZT team to go on a ski trip or play in a volleyball league. I'm very serious, but I like to call it focus in the midst of a sales floor of flying darts, Rebecca Black, and ping-pong balls. Before ZT I was working from 9 to 5 as an account coordinator for a property-management firm while rushing to and from lacrosse practices/games as an assistant coach for a local college. On top of that, I worked a few nights a week as a waitress to pay the bills. Needless to say, when I stumbled across ZT's job listing and was asked in for an interview the following day, I was intrigued. 24 hours later I met Ethan (who is pretty darn good at sales) and was convinced if I took all the energy I was spending on the above and invested it into ZT, things could get pretty good. He was right. My mission at ZT is to learn as much as I can from the extremely intelligent and successful people who surround me. It is not every day that you find yourself immersed in such energy aimed at one goal. So, while I'm here, I'd like to contribute to it as much as I can. Aside from being insanely smart and just simply awesome, the ZT team is the most dedicated group of people I've seen. Yes we have a lot of fun, but everyone understands that the kind of fun we're having requires a lot of time, effort, improvement, and overall growth to maintain – which everyone at ZT is committed to.
I'm a JRebel IDE plugin developer for Netbeans and Intellij IDEA, but am slowly moving towards the core. My job so far has been to develop Remoting support and JRebel configuration options logic and UI for Intellij IDEA and Netbeans. I was a mostly self-taught Java developer close to graduation. I only used Eclipse, and barely knew JavaEE when I started five months ago, but had a great passion for Java. Before I realized what was happening, I was developing Remoting support for Intellij IDEA. After the initial version was released, I moved over to Netbeans, now developing both plugins daily. When I get a task, I have to analyze the problem and come up with the solution and implementation myself. There usually are no specific directions except, "We need that function, and it should let the user do that". ZeroTurnaround was my first choice of employer, it being a direct match for my passion for Java. I enjoy writing Java, and when you do something you enjoy, you suddenly realize at 6:30pm that your workday ended an hour ago. I'm surrounded only by smart people and don't see many primitive instincts here, like showing off or someone trying to dominate others. You and your boss get along like old friends and the President of the company greets you by your first name.
I've done various things from making JRebel reload configuration changes to improving the user experience with our IDE plug-ins, and teaching Scala to university students. My mission at the moment is to make sure JRebel is easy to set up and use for new users. I ended up working here because I wanted to develop software products instead of information systems. I met [ZT founders and senior developers] at a few JRebel release parties before getting hired. They must have been impressed by some of my open-source hobby projects, because somehow I got hired without a technical interview. All of my colleagues are smart people and they keep getting smarter. One has to keep learning constantly to keep up. You can learn something from anyone who works here. And they are funny, too. :)
I work in the XRebel team and do research on some cool stuff I cannot talk about since it concerns our roadmap. I also implement server integrations and tests, fix bugs, and try juggling during stand-ups. ZT makes awesome products! At my previous place I used JRebel in development and it rocked! I also knew some key people at ZT and saw fire in their eyes when they talked about the company. In fact, we went to same secondary school with founder Jevgeni Kabanov and later met him at various academic events when we were students. In summer 2012 I attended the GeekOut conference, the JRebel release party, and finally decided that I wanted to be part of the team. Because ZT-ers are smart, competent, motivated, funny, and honest!

Black Acetate - John Cale
- Band Name: John Cale
- Record Label: Astralwerks
- Release Date: Oct 18, 2005
- Summary: A bit more rock-oriented than its predecessor, 'Acetate' is nevertheless another experimental effort from the now-63-year-old Cale.
- Record Label: Astralwerks
- Genre(s): Indie, Rock
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 3 out of 11
Mixed: 8 out of 11
Negative: 0 out of 11
Black Acetate is in equal measures, serious and mocking, threatening and comforting, ambient and rowdy.
Not every moment is transcendent.... But otherwise, this is that rare thing, an album that shares new pleasures each time you hear it, made by someone who's still excited by music. [Nov 2005, p.102]
The noisy blackAcetate is the work of a man who is not going to go quietly. [Nov 2005, p.123]
Where Cale flaps up is in not allowing himself enough space for nuance atop his overdriven guitars, forcing the deployment of gaudy keyboard settings to match the guitars' "intensity" and even fumbling into a bona fide mall-punk chorus in "Perfect."
Much of the album feels unfocused, as if Cale has become seduced by the smooth trickery of digital production at the expense of cogent songs built on icy melodies, slippery poetics and true invention -- three of Cale's enduring strengths sadly missing through much of the album's fifty-three minutes.
Cale squanders whatever momentum he accrued on the estimable avant-pop of 2003's HoboSapiens by adorning these new songs with such unflattering, generic alternarock textures that they often render their author unrecognizable at best, and irrelevant at worst.
Score distribution:
Positive: 3 out of 3
Mixed: 0 out of 3
Negative: 0 out of 3
kissjNov 16, 2005some velvet sound
BobdDec 23, 2005An intriguing, and irritating creation from the Welsh Madman, rife with heavy guitar noise, recalling his misspent "Comes Alive" period, and that train wreck of an album, "Carribean Sunset" (c.1984) Some tunes, such as "In a Flood" "Turn the Light On"and "Hush", perhaps "Wasteland" and "Gravel Drive" can be considered vintage Cale, but the avant-dance bit "BrotherMan" is annoying, witness these lyrics: "I write reams if this shit everyday... In the courtyard with Uncle Sam"...it progresses with a disjointed and irritating sound much like a muffled dental drill. Where Hobo Sapiens was a near- masterpiece of avant -garde stylist pop, and a return to form, Black Acetate is Cale and the band ready for playing the bar/rave circuit..not as great an accomplishment as his earlier Hobo Sapiens, or the Island years, but a reasonable effort and very in-your-face.… Expand

I don't know that I can think of anything that I'd consider "odd" - it all depends on the situation. I currently don't know my neighbors on either side...but then, they both just moved in and I haven't seen any of them yet. I'm sure I'll meet them eventually, but I would feel intrusive just running over to greet them unless we were both outside at the same time or something. We have new neighbors two doors down as well, but they painted the front door yellow before they moved in, so I'll probably just leave them alone. ;~)
As far as the schools, that depends on the situation also. GAB has no children and no reason to care about schools, and didn't know the schools for his neighborhood until I told him. If I hadn't lived near there when I was in school and gone to school with his neighbor's kids, he might never have known.
Now, if someone lived somewhere for many years and never knew anything about the neighbors or the neighborhood, I might consider that somewhat odd, but I'd just figure that they had their own good reasons for having it that way.
|Sun, 09-12-2010 - 4:03am
Our neighborhood has always had bussing because our community is right off a fairly major highway that students either have to cross or walk along to get to the closest schools. It was one of the tradeoffs I made in choosing to buy in the county. I wanted the good schools and couldn't afford to live in one of the neighborhoods where the kids could walk.
John enrolled in a magnet program during his high school years, and the school system provided busses to that high school for him, although most of the time he rode his bike (and then later, drove).

"But my daughter knows the name of every dog. So some of our neighbors are known as "Bear's Owner" or "Riley's Owner.""
LOL, that is how I was with most of the mothers at school and in the hood when dd was younger. Typically I either did not know their names or else I could not remember their names, so they were known as "Anna's mom," "John's mom" etc.

Depends on the distance of the neighborhood as well as the schedules of all involved.

Chateau Fombrauge St. Emilion 2001
Chateau Fombrauge - Bordeaux - France - Saint Emilion
The Bordeaux region of France consistently enjoys the reputation of being the finest region for wine making in the world. But what is it that makes this area around the Gironde river so special? The secret lies in their ancient and careful blend of no more than six high quality, flavorful and unique grape varietals. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Carménere are all permitted for usage in the production of Bordeaux wines, and the winery carefully considers how to balance the fine points of one varietal against another. Most commonly, Cabernet Sauvignon is used as the main grape varietal, usually with vintners making wines containing upwards of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon grape juices. This varietal lends its big, spicy, fruity flavors and astringent, tannin-heavy character to the mix. Normally, this strong varietal is then tempered and rounded by Merlot, a fleshy, fruity and far lighter bodied grape, containing far fewer tannins and a much brighter flavor The blended wines are normally left to age in oak, where they can continue to work together and produce their wonderful results.
The wineries of Bordeaux in France are widely considered to be amongst the finest on earth, with many of the chateaux found on the Left Bank and in the Médoc region routinely demanding enormous prices and being snapped up by collectors looking to add the best examples of the world's white and red wines to their cellars. Bordeaux's secret to success comes from the fact that the terroir of the region is exceptionally rich in minerals, helped by the clay and gravel soils which typify the area and the Gironde river which runs through it. Normally humid in climate, the nearby Atlantic coast supplies cooling breezes, making Bordeaux a winemaker's dream and resulting in extremely high quality grape varietals. For hundreds of years, the wineries of Bordeaux have been mastering the art of wine blending, and today produce a wide range of wine styles using many of the sixteen grape varietals permitted to grow in the region by French law.
Year in, year out, France enjoys its prestigious reputation as the producer of the finest wines in the world. With a wine making history which spans several thousand years and owes its expertise to the Romans, it comes as little surprise that this most highly esteemed of the Old World wine countries continues to impress and enchant both novices and experts to this day. Despite the rise in quality of wines from neighboring European countries, not to mention the New World, the French wine industry continues to boom, with up to eight billion bottles being produced in recent years. However, France prides itself on always putting quality before quantity, and the wide range in fine produce is a testament to the dedication and knowledge of the wineries across the country. Indeed, from rich and complex reds to light and aromatic white wines, French wines are as varied and interesting as they are enjoyable to drink, making this country a firm favorite for wine lovers across the globe.
Of all of France's wine regions, the one most closely associated with high quality red wines is undoubtedly Bordeaux. Within Bordeaux, there is no other sub-region quite as highly esteemed as Saint Emilion, situated on the hallowed right bank of the Gironde river, and home to many of the world's most famous and dearly loved wine chateaus Saint Emilion is revered for its finely crafted and utterly delicious blended red wines, most commonly made by blending together wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot varietal grapes. The region is one steeped in tradition, and the blending techniques and methods have been handed down through the generations to ensure that the wines which bear the name Saint Emilion remain amongst the best in the world.
