Professionally: I am a photographer by trade. I worked in Hollywood for many years in television and the music industry. I was the first woman in accepted into the cameraman's union (IATSE Local 659). I think they may call it the camera "persons" union now.
Personally: Born under the challenging, perfectionist sign of Virgo... I love nature, art, organization, simplicity, loyalty, integrity and I am in a constant battle between following my heart or my hard head. I'm a human, animal, earth and tree hugger.
Aside: I am the same Kim Carlsberg who authored "Beyond My Wildest Dreams, Diary Of A UFO Abductee" and co-authored with Darryl Anka "Contact Cards, An Extraterrestrial Divination System". My latest book "The Art Of Close Encounters" is available now at ww.TheArtOfCloseEncounters.com
People always ask me "when did you get into aliens" and my response is always the same... "I didn't get into aliens... aliens got into me". Stand up for the truth!

As luck would have it, there is some sort of Cone of Fertility that hangs over our little home. Here, under the Cone of Fertility, one little acorn leads to a thousand trees. One little kiss leads to a thousand kids. And one little hamster? Welcome to America's fastest-growing city: Hamsterdam.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
"Why a hamster?" the little girl asked.
"Because they were all out of skunks," I guessed.
One of the new varmint's first acts was to bite my wife -- so we had that in common. (If she were any sweeter, she'd be a Godiva store.)
The hamster's second act was to run with reckless abandon in his little hamster wheel. Humans have jobs, hamsters have little wheels in which they run round and round, getting nowhere. Same principle.
"He's so cute," the lovely and patient older daughter noted.
"Can we oil that wheel?" I later ask, since the squeaky wheel tends to go all night. Squeak. Squeak. From down the hall, I can hardly hear myself gasp for oxygen, the way I usually do all night long.
"I already oiled it," Posh explained with a shrug.
Apparently, hamster wheels are designed to squeak. It adds to the hamster's sense of purpose.
Squeak, squeak . . . squeak, squeak, squeak. I could barely hear the lovely and patient older daughter come in at 3 in the morning.
Little did I realize our hamster was preparing for a long and painful labor. I assume it was painful, because women are always describing childbirth that way. Wimps. I mean, childbirth can't be worse than the killer hangover I had after the USC-UCLA game. Or the soreness I experienced after moving the older daughter's stuff home. An IKEA bed frame is made primarily of old sponges and balsa wood. But moving 400 crates of shoes will really catch up with a guy.
Anyway, on Thanksgiving morning, the hamster gave birth to eight little peanut-sized babies. I assume it was a natural delivery, since no doctor was on duty. Till that moment, we were pretty sure she was a he.
"Oh, my God," Posh said, as if God has anything to do with hamster births. I'm pretty sure he keeps busy easing human suffering or answering the prayers of all those "American Idol" contestants.
"Oh, my God," said the little guy.
"Oh, my God," said everyone who saw the hamster cage.
That's the day Hamsterdam was founded. Hamsterdam, population 9 ("The City That Never Sleeps").
At the yard sale that weekend, we put up a sign offering "FREE BABY HAMSTERS. FREE!" and got one offer. Since then, Posh has been running one of the world's most sophisticated hamster-human dating services, trying to match up the baby hamsters with potential homes.

Colombia's FARC rebels have restarted their peace talks with the government and both sides are meeting in Cuba to try to put an end to a 50-year conflict.
But while some rural Colombians in FARC strongholds hope the talks will lead to a less impoverished lifestyle, other Colombians believe the government should not negotiate with the rebels.

Tired of that jerk boss who keeps making fun of you at work? You're not alone. In the past decade, research has established bullying as a prevalent problem among working Americans. A survey by the Workplace Bullying Institute earlier this year found that more than a quarter of adults have suffered some form of harassment at the office, most often from superiors. The effects on employees were severe: anxiety, depression, and, in extreme cases, even post-traumatic stress.
As damaging as office bullies' unwanted attention appears to be, however, a group of researchers believes they've found something even more harmful to workers: no attention at all.
For a recent study in Organization Science, the University of British Columbia's Sandra Robinson and her team analyzed surveys that juxtaposed the consequences of workplace ostracism with workplace bullying—alienating co-workers, that is, rather than abusing them. The results suggest that the former is a lot worse.
"We've been taught that ignoring someone is socially preferable. If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. But ostracism actually leads people to feel more helpless, like they're not worthy of any attention at all."
Two of the study's surveys asked a diverse set of American workers to rate their sense of belonging and well-being at work, as well as the extent to which they've felt ostracized and harassed by co-workers. People whose colleagues often neglected them—left them out of conversations, ignored them in the hallways, etc.—felt unhappier, disliked work more, and even more frequently left their jobs than people who were bullied.
This response is striking, the researchers say, because ostracism is seen as far more socially acceptable than bullying. They even conducted an initial survey that found workers consider ignoring their colleagues more appropriate than harassing them.
"We've been taught that ignoring someone is socially preferable. If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all," Robinson says in a press release. "But ostracism actually leads people to feel more helpless, like they're not worthy of any attention at all."
The researchers speculate that exclusion has a particularly powerful impact on workers because it cuts out the possibility of any sort of positive social exchange with their peers. Ostracism's "primary impact is to disconnect and to isolate, not to involve," the researchers write. It "disengage[s] the target … from social interaction" and "inhibit[s] the target from responding to this form of mistreatment."
Robinson and her team note that ostracism in the workplace need not be intentional to be harmful. In some cases, busy or exceptionally aloof co-workers may have no idea they're being cruel by neglecting one of their colleagues. But they're still severing the thread of human connection that seems, above all else, to matter most for happiness at work—even if that thread jerks people around a bit.
"There are many people who feel quietly victimized in their daily lives," Robinson says. Despite progress in combating workplace bullying, she contends that "most of our current strategies for dealing with workplace injustice don't give them a voice."

Super Quiet

Follow me
This is the nicest dishwasher I've ever owned. The bottom is completely sealed which makes it quieter than my refrigerator. The controls are simple and the chimes (not beeps) are refreshing. It could dry a little better, but I may not be using it on the right setting.

Had a super time here; ideally located for the beach, town, and restaurants, with the Bodega just around the corner an added bonus! The flat is situated on the third floor (Top) and is very spacious with every mod con that you can imagine including TV,DVD and CD player . There were six of us and we had lots of space to chill out ....the roof top terrace is fantastic and gets the sun the entire day and when you have had enough of the sun, a swim in the pool will cool you down. Will definitely be back.
Hugh Mcallister
Excellent apartment with all the mod cons and a nice big terrace for all day bbqs and sunbathing or you can enjoy picnics round the big pool. Everything new and clean with nice size rooms. Not far to walk to the town with lots of bars and restaurants. If you follow the coast along, there are lots of little cove beaches with shops + bars, but the beaches can get busy at weekends in peak season. Beaches are safe and clear, ideal for water babies and snorkelling. S Deane

Yesterday, Alex Barrett of TechTarget posted a tweet about her predictions for 2010:
No wishy washy 2010 predictions from me: VMware will cut prices, and Citrix will give up on XenServer: http://bit.ly/75vDxc
The link in the tweet corresponds to this TechTarget article in which Alex predicts that VMware will cut prices and Citrix will dump XenServer and focus instead on its management products like Citrix Essentials. Citrix Essentials, as you probably know, already supports Microsoft Hyper-V. Alex's prediction is not an unusual one; others have made this prediction before. Quite honestly, based on the progress we are seeing on XenServer's development, I can see the logic behind Alex's prediction.
Then along comes Simon Crosby and posts a rebuttal to Alex's prediction, citing XenServer's growth, industry partnerships, and projected development goals. OK, that's fine and all; I would certainly expect Simon to be an ardent supporter of Xen and XenServer. I don't take issue with his rebuttal; what I take issue with is this statement:
I think I've concluded that there are a few people whose predictions about the future I will never believe. They are precisely those who are compensated based on clicks and not insight, and who seldom take the time to check for data or accuracy.
To prevent any question of the individual about whom he was speaking, Simon added a hyperlink (recreated in the quote above) to point to Alex Barrett's author page at TechTarget.
Ouch—that's a bit harsh, don't you think? It's just bad form to say something like that about someone. First of all, a prediction isn't exactly something you can "check for data or accuracy"; it's a prediction. No one, including me, begrudges any vendor from defending itself. But there are ways of defending yourself without personally attacking others. There are ways to disagree respectfully and courteously. There are those out there that might want to try this approach.
Tags: Citrix, Virtualization, Xen

Although I also disagree with the XenServer prediction (having made the same prediction myself last year and not seeing it happen), I entirely agree with everything above. Simon has always been one of those "any publicity is good publicity" types, Citrix would do well to use someone else as a frontman IMHO.
Well said Stu. If I predicted that the Browns were going to win the super bowl next year, should I be personally attacked for it? I would expect to be referred to as "off my rocker" or "out in left field". I would not expect someone to ask "Where's your proof?" Predictions are guesses, you don't need credibility to make them.
I don't know…. Techtarget is about "clicks and hits". This is what they are looking for. Although there is no need for Simon to respond this way I do understand where it is coming from.
A week, or so, ago Hannah made a comment on the internet "when it bleeds it leads" when I responded to a misleading blog title. My reaction to that was "blood attracts sharks", and that's exactly what happened. So far they are lucky they attract an occasional shark. Next time it might be a whole bunch of piranhas.
It was Alex who wrote the article wasn't it? He attracted the sharks that's why they went after him. Alex made a decision to write and let it get published, with someone like Simon he knew this was bound to happen. I bet that neither TechTarget or Citrix cares about it as this fuzz is what they are both after.
Alex Barrett knows more about the virtualization industry and in some cases technology than most analysts and developers I have personally met. Certain people would be making poor choices if they choose not to listen to her just because TechTarget eats up 5 MB of their mailbox every day. That said, Alex (and TechTarget) are not without reason to say that Citrix might give up on XenServer. Even VMware is pushing management more than hypervisor to sell their software. Not only that, but KVM is pushing against Citrix from the bottom up. I've recently made the foray into the land of KVM, and I have to say, if there were some decent Enterprise-Class management tools, I'd very likely never pay to use VMware tech again for server virtualization. KVM has some pitfalls (network issues), but nothing that cannot be solved by some dedicated KVM appliances/distributions (there are some network driver / kernel issues with some distributions — ex. Ubuntu 9.10).
Of course, take everything I've said with a grain of salt. TechTarget has paid my rent in the past, and I'm also a vExpert and somewhat of a VMware evangelist. I'll say this, the Xen technology is solid, and Simon Crosby should certainly be able to make a point without personally attacking a class act like Alex. He loses some points in my book for doing so.
Like it or not, VMware owns the virtualization market, and if RedHat and Ubuntu make some strategic decisions about focusing on management software (integrate KVM management in a big way into RedHat Network and Canonical Landscape for example), then I don't know of a compelling reason to pay money for any hypervisor, VMware's or Xen's. And when all that is left is to pay for management software, why not use the same software I'm using to manage my physical servers, such as RHN or Landscape?
After seeing that battle between Crosby and Drummonds, I'm in no way surprised by Crosby acting like that. What a laughing stock.

The latest survey by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond showed a slowdown in service sector activity. Retail sales dipped overall and big-ticket sales suffered another drop, despite an uptick in shopper traffic. Inventories declined in June, according to retail merchants. Non-retail services providers' revenues also decelerated. Looking ahead six months, retailers expected the weakness would persist, while contacts at services firms remained optimistic.
Turning to labor, retail hiring flattened and average retail wages fell in June. Hiring at services firms was also nearly flat. Average wages at non-retail establishments rose only slightly compared to a month ago.
Price changes in the broad service sector almost matched May's pace. Within the sector, prices climbed more rapidly at retail businesses, but the pace slowed somewhat at services firms. For the six months ahead, survey respondents at retail and non-retail services firms anticipated prices would advance more quickly than they had expected in May.
Revenues in the overall service sector weakened in June, pulling the index to −4 from its previous reading of 9. Growth in the number of employees slowed, with average wage growth in the sector flattening this month. The index for the number of employees lost six points to settle at 3, while the average wage index skidded to 0 from May's reading of 22. Following last month's softer optimism for future sales, survey participants withdrew further in June, causing the index for expected demand to fall to 14 from 20.
Retail sales declined slightly in June, pulling the index into negative territory. The revenues index dropped to −2 from its month-earlier reading of 3. Shopper traffic edged up this month, perhaps contributing to the drawdown in inventories, but big-ticket sales remained in the doldrums. The index for shopper traffic jumped from −29 to 4 in June and the index for inventories fell nine points to finish at −12. The big-ticket index persisted at −27 for a second month. Merchants expected lackluster sales prospects through the summer and into autumn; the index for expected demand during the next six months remained at its month ago reading of −4.
District retail employment had no movement in June, with a reading of 0 after May's index of 1. Average retail wages declined, pulling the index seven points lower to −8.
Revenues dropped at non-retail services firms in June, lopping seventeen points from the index, to end the survey period at −8. Hiring at services-providing firms also weakened this month, with that index sliding to −1 from its month-ago reading of 14. Growth in average wages at services firms faded, softening the index to 6 from 29.
Looking ahead six months, services providers were less enthusiastic about business prospects than they were in May, with that index losing seven points. However, they continued to expect solid growth; the expectations index finished at 18.
Service sector price change in June remained nearly on pace, reaching an annualized 0.87 percent rate this month compared to 0.85 percent in May. Within the sector, retail price change picked up to a 1.79 percent pace following May's 1.17 percent. Price change at non-retail services firms moderated to 0.66 percent from 0.85 percent.
For the six months ahead, survey respondents anticipated price acceleration across the board. Overall, they expected price change at a 1.60 percent pace, compared with May's outlook for 1.43 percent. Retailers looked for 2.03 percent growth in prices, while services providers anticipated 1.52 percent. In May, the expectation was for price change of 1.94 percent and 1.32 percent, respectively.

European Debt Colony: Austerity Bites Hard in a Greece Shackled to its Lenders
A Greek flag is waved in front of the Greek Parliament while strikers march by during a protest march in Athens marking the 24-hours general strike.
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
The Greek government has hailed the eurozone finance ministers' latest decision on Greece, requiring the country to lower its debt in return for bailout funds, as yet another political victory. This was not surprising at all to Greeks, who have often seen their government celebrating decisions that have made life miserable for its citizens.
But this time, Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras went so far as to call the agreement a "landmark for the country's rebirth", releasing a video on YouTube entitled "Greece starts now".
Viewers of the video pointed out the irony of propagating national unity and hope to Greeks, who have meanwhile been devastated by the government's harsh austerity measures. This simplistic piece of propaganda elicited comments reflecting the genuine bitterness and disenchantment of the Greek people.
A boy aged 14 wrote: "The present is uncertain, the future looks nonexistent. When a country dies, so do its inhabitants." A low-income woman then asked: "What will you do for those who have to live on 5,000 and 10,000 euro per year? Thank you for your valuable time and your earnest contribution in the common affairs of our occupied land".
Dazed and confused
Greeks know well that calls for "national unity" are nothing but dust in the eyes of a dazed and confused people. They are represented by a weak government that has endorsed all its lenders' claims, leaving its population practically undefended at the negotiating table.
According to the latest data from Eurostat, the EU's statistics agency, about 30 percent of the Greek population now lives below the poverty line - with 15 percent living in conditions of extreme poverty. These figures are for the first time comparable to those of former Soviet-bloc countries such as Bulgaria, Romania and Latvia.
Austerity is shredding the social fabric of Greece. About 1,000 more people lose their jobs every day, and long-term poverty is knocking at the door of a new class of low-paid workers. According to Greece's Institute of Labour, the average salary in the country is just 74 percent of the European average - and, what's more, Greeks' purchasing power has fallen by half since 2010. Many workers now have to live on as little as 4,500 euro per year, while the poverty line is set at 7,100 euro per year.
Although wages and pensions have been slashed, the public healthcare system is being destroyed and spending on public education has fallen to levels last seen in the 1980s, the cost of living in the country remains high - confirming the words of one Greek housewife who said that Greeks are "going to have to live on a Bulgarian salary with London prices".
But there is no such thing as "national unity" in despair. According to a recent bank report, despite the recession (25 percent of Greek GDP has vanished since 2009), the wealthiest 500 Greek companies saw their profits increase by 18.2 percent in 2011. Several reports have found that Greece's shipping industry, traditionally part of the country's political and economic elite, who hold 16 percent of the world's maritime fleet, pay very little in taxes.
'Death spiral'
But Greece's problems are not only economic in nature. Political malfunctions have reinforced the country's economic woes, which in turn have exacerbated social decay. Greeks term it a death spiral.
At the latest meeting of European finance ministers in Brussels, the interest rates Greece has to pay on its debt were lowered, the maturities of these loans were extended, and a plan was made for Greece to buy back some of its discounted bonds. If Greece follows this path consistently, then by 2020 public debt will be about 124 percent of its GDP, which the troika says is a sustainable figure.

Emerging Markets: An Entrepreneur's Guide to Staying Sane, Safe and Profitable
From the Kauffman Foundation's Entrepreneurship Resource Center, here's an article from an American businessman on staying sane, safe and profitable in emerging markets. How does this article look to those of you who are based in emerging markets? Does it still ring true?
The author, R. W. Nelson, Chairman of Kemin Industries, sees opportunities in emerging markets, and also advises certain precautions in these environments. These precautions include steps for testing a new market, attention to cash flow, avoidance of bribery, and flexibility. The theme is that amid the excitement and frenzy, one needs to retain common sense. That might be said of many entrepreneurial ventures–entrepreneurs take on risk, but they must know how to manage it.

Blurty for *Kristen*.
|Thursday, January 8th, 2004
"it may be a long time,
a long time indeed
i may not be the friend you want,
i'm the friend that you need "
"How come your lame ass rich friends
All turned and ran
When I threw a fistful of firecrackers
In a ceiling fan "
"Well I seen gal from east and I seen gal from west but I must confess you is
the biggest mess yet
With your oversized breast, undersized dress
Give it a rest cause, were not impressed
Take your oversized breast gal and shook dem in
Your causin a disturbance upon the ska scene
Gal like you coulda neva be my queen
Could neva Selah or neither Steve
Gal you get me ma ma madda madda mad and crazy
Gal you get me ma ma madda madda mad and crazy
Gal you get me Gal you get me Gal you get me "
"Well I picked you up it was our first date.
I washed my dick and promised your daddy that I wouldn't have you out too late.
Then we went down [we went to a] nice secluded place
things got heavy, it smelled like soup, but still you wanted me to bury my face
(chorus: Menowannalikki-U, Menowannalikki-U, Menowannalikki-U down there, I said Menowannalikki-U)
My last girl was blonde she had a real nice hefty rack [big ol' titties]
But I nearly barfed when her pants came off
She dont use soap, you know that bitch is whack "
(That's the funniest song hahahaha)
"...married girl don't you wanna
smoke a little marijuana
take some time and have a drink
and think about what yer gonna do to me
and married girl ain't you worried,
if our love is kinda hurried
that you'll be left wanting more
in the time after your man has murdered me"
"now i cry but i can't complain
i supply my own ball and chain
and now i'm tied tighter than the races
so who am i,who am i to judge "
You are Marijuana!

Two Bathers
1960 Elmer Bischoff Born: Berkeley, California 1916 Died: Berkeley, California 1991 oil on canvas 68 x 64 5/8 in. (172.7 x 164.2 cm.) Smithsonian American Art Museum Gift of S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc. 1968.52.7 Not currently on view
Gallery Label
Two Bathers is a classical scene filtered through the abstract expressionism that dominated American art after World War II. Bischoff covered the canvas with hot reds, greens, and cool blues, and his liquid paint gives the women the same substance as the landscape. We perceive them as figures and as clusters of skillful marks in a network of brushstrokes. The distance between the two women, the stillness of their bodies, and strong contrasts of light and shadow lend the image the sharpened, poetic quality of memory.
Painting the figure, as Bischoff and other Bay Area artists chose to do throughout the 1950s and 1960s, challenged the prevailing idea of what art ought to be. These California artists felt that pure abstraction could not convey all they wanted to express, and returned to images of the human body. Bischoff taught as he painted, avoiding the party line of powerful critics and allowing his students the freedom to paint from life.

Revised Program Reflects $2.0 Billion Cut For Highway Projects
The program was approved during a special meeting held today.
The rare mid-year revision reflects significant reductions stemming from a $2.6 billion state and federal funding shortfall over the next six years.
The approved program commits $6.0 billion for highway construction and $2.9 billion for public transportation and rail over the next six years.
A slowing economy, shrinking revenues and increased maintenance costs impacted 808 highway program projects statewide, resulting in a $2 billion reduction in the highway construction program.
Lists of projects delayed or removed from the program are posted on the Virginia Department of Transportation Web site at http://www.virginiadot.org/projects/syp-default.asp.
"As the economy shrinks, so do our transportation revenues and our ability to invest in our future," said Secretary of Transportation Pierce R. Homer. "We are hopeful that the economic recovery act before Congress can help to offset some of these difficult and painful choices."
While highway funds continue to decrease, the Fiscal Years 2009-2014 program reinforces the CTB's commitment to rail, transit and highway maintenance.
The Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation will now allocate $2.9 billion to Virginia's rail and transit operators for service improvements that will support better transportation choices for the traveling public.
"The demand for rail and transit services continues to grow in Virginia," said Charles M. Badger, DRPT acting director. "The funding approved for these program areas will help ensure that Virginians have viable transportation options now and in the future."
VDOT will again cut back its construction program in order to meet state law that requires maintenance of existing roadways as priorities.
VDOT estimates that it needs more than $1 billion to stabilize deteriorating pavements on its 58,000-mile highway network and has 1,730 structurally deficient bridges.
"The serious funding constraints are a stark reality that requires our agency to aggressively shift our focus," said David S. Ekern, VDOT's commissioner. "In the coming months and years, VDOT will change our role from building roads to addressing growing maintenance needs and emergency response efforts."
Localities will also feel the impact of the reduced funding. All available highway revenues are committed to fund required maintenance activities, pay debt and fund projects already under way.
Localities can no longer count on adequate state funding for road construction and maintenance.

Note to editors: The complete approved Fiscal Years 2009-2014 Six-Year Improvement Program is available at http://www.virginiadot.org/projects/syp-default.asp.

Transportation bill must be inflation-adjusted
Posted By Tina Grady Barbaccia On May 8, 2012 @ 5:03 pm In Economics,eRoadPro Newsletter,News & Analysis | No Comments
The American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) sent a letter to conferees for the reauthorization of a highway bill saying "it is one of the most proactive steps Congress can take to help boost the U.S. economy" after enduring more than 30 months of temporary extensions.
The funding uncertainty has "stifled lettings of a long-term transportation infrastructure improvement projects in many states," ARTBA asserts.
However, the organization points out that the "direct and indirect employment benefits of a federal investment are undeniable," it doesn't guarantee creation of jobs if a transportation bill is approved.
Noting this, ARTBA is urging conferees "to ensure any conference report, at a minimum, provides inflation-adjusted FY 2011 levels of surface transportation investment as approved by the Senate. Failing to do so would solidify the job-threatening $2 billion cut in highway improvement funds enacted as part of the FY 2012 appropriations process."
