If curling up by a crackling fire at a cabin in the woods, with a cup of hot cocoa in your hand and a fur blanket across your lap, while listening to your favorite Christmas Pandora station was a print, it'd be buffalo check. And who doesn't want to be doing that right now?! It's been freezing – literally it snowed! – here in Dallas this past week and while I've found myself complaining and bickering with Dave over the thermostat temperature, I'd give anything to retreat away to that cabin and sit by blazing fire. 30-degree weather doesn't feel right in Texas, but in the Appalachian (and Rocky) Mountains it's expected. I'm excited that we'll be there in less than a week and you better believe we're bring our buffalo check!
Buffalo check (and really plaid, in general) is one of my favorite prints for the fall and winter months, so I knew I wanted to get Beckett some of her own. I would love to see her in this Duchess & Lion dress, but it's a little outside my budget. And I am so sad I didn't grab one of these ruffle tops from Joe Fresh (who ships to the US now, by the way) before it sold out. But, I found this top at Target (sold out online) and I knew it could work. The bold red and black checks can be a little masculine, so I decided to lighten it up a bit with some white and stripes – white denim for me and a white and blue striped tee (with a precious floral pocket) for Beckett. And adding the light grey wrap was the perfect way to reinforce the cozy factor. This might be exactly what we're going to wear for Thanksgiving next week. And we will, without a doubt, be sitting by the fireplace!
On Mommy :: Buffalo Check Shirt: Old Navy // Striped Tee: Old Navy // Wrap: Ingrid & Isabel // White Denim: J Brand // Booties: Michael Kors // Earrings: House of Harlow (similar) // Pebble Leather Clutch: Gigi New York
On Baby :: Buffalo Check Shirt: Genuine Kids at Target (sold out online) // Striped Tee: Zara // Leggings: The Children's Place // Polka Dot Mary Janes: Gap // Red Socks: Joe Fresh at JCPenney // Headband: Little Crane Headbands

I have some extra anticipation for Christmas this year, as we'll be celebrating our first with Beckett. I can't wait to see her eyes sparkle at the tree lights, dance to our favorite Christmas tunes and play with her nativity set. I've been thinking a lot recently about family traditions and deciding which ones I want to adopt for the season. One tradition Dave and I have held even prior to Beckett is gifting each other a pair of new pajamas or loungewear. I am excited to extend that tradition to our daughter and I can't wait to look back on all those Christmas morning photos we'll take over the years. I've been hunting for that perfect pair (spoiler alert: I found these on Ebay) and I thought I'd share my favorite holiday sleepwear selections with all of you.
No. 1 Union pajama set at Target, $12.99
No. 2 Christmas 2-piece snug fit cotton pjs from Carter's, $10
No. 3 4-piece snug fit cottons pjs from Carter's, $17
No. 4 Infant tree lounge set from Mud Pie, $32.95
No. 5 Best basic baby eco pjs from Polarn O. Pyret, $38.50
No. 6 Twin pack long johns from Mini Boden, $58

No. 8 Night Night Baby Sleeper from Hanna Andersson, $35
No. 9 Festive print fleece footed sleep one-piece from Gap, $15
No. 10 Baby footsie coverall in melting snowman from J.Crew, $32.50
Not pictured: Penguin Fair Isle pajamas by BedHead, $50 and Printed PJ set from Old Navy, $10
Do you get new pajamas for Christmas? If so, are they a gift on Christmas morning or do you wear them all season? In the past Dave and I have exchanged on Christmas Eve, but I am thinking about pushing that up this year, so Beckett can get some more use out of them!
Is this arctic outbreak getting to anyone else? I'm freezing. Today I'm back with my "Uniform" series to share a favorite silhouette that will hopefully keep me warm these next couple of months. It all starts with a great coat, but that's something I've found hard to invest in, considering I truly only need it for a small portion of the year. But, my college left-overs are no longer cutting it. It's time for a grown-up coat. While black is probably the safest bet, I hate how they're always showing lint and hair. So, recently I've fallen in love with the idea of grey outerwear. Grey is a perfect neutral and would make an ideal every day coat.
No. 1 Short coat with hood from Zara, $129
No. 2 Cormac coat from Babaton at Aritzia, $265
No. 3 Ember wool-blend felt coat from Acne Studios, $690
No. 4 Chateau Parka from J.Crew, $365
No. 5 Lapels wool-blend coat from Mango, $169.99
No. 6 Fluffy double collar coat from Topshop, $390
Not pictured: Long Time No Seattle Coat from ModCloth, $149.99 and Lovers + Friends x Revolve Merci Coat, $248
// Photo by F*** it…going to NY!
The great thing about a stunning coat is that you don't have to think as much about what you're wearing underneath. A simple sweater, button-down or sweatshirt will do. On the bottom, I'm sticking to mid-rise skinny jeans. Not only are they comfortable, but they can easily be dressed up or down – ankle boots for day, high-heel pumps for night. A simple color palette of black, grey, various blue washes and one good white is all you need. I still have some colored denim, but the neutrals are the ones I wear over and over again.
No. 1 Shredded skinny jeans in Rock with Holes by rag & bone/JEAN, $220
No. 2 Skinny skinny zip racetrack jeans in True Black from Madewell, $129.50
No. 3 Skyline skinny jeans in Easton by Paige Denim, $101.40
No. 4 811 mid-rise skinny leg in Siren by J Brand, $211
No. 5 Shine mid-rise skinny jeans in Static by Hudson, $209
No. 6 The legging ankle jean in Snow Drift by AG Adriano Goldschmied, $205
No. 7 620 Mid-rise super skinny in Blackout by J Brand, $218

Lastly, add a cute winter accessory to for some practical style. A knit beanie gives you a dose of chic, while keeping you warm. Bonus: you can go an extra day or two without washing your hair. There's a ton of fun options out there right now. And while I'd love a cashmere version, you can find one for under $10 if you know where to look.
No. 1 Ribbed cashmere hat from J.Crew, $78
No. 2 Sweater-knit pom-pom hat from Old Navy $12.94
No. 3 Leopard intarsia hat from Autumn Cashmere, $128
No. 4 Studded hat from C. Wonder, $48
No. 5 Homeward beanie from Anthropologie, $49.50
No. 6 Amalia hat from Club Monaco, $129.50

As a new mom, I am always looking for ways to simplify my housekeeping duties. When they tell you that your whole life changes when you have children, they don't just mean in the emotional, "discovering a love you never knew existed within you" sense, but also in the practical, "everything takes twice as long" kind of way. Keeping up with the weekly chores is a challenge and specifically, laundry is something that keeps getting away from me (it seems to have tripled since Beckett's birth). But there are a couple of things I've recently adopted to help get things under control.
First of all, having an organized and inspiring laundry space makes a big difference. We recently remodeled our walk-in pantry (click here to see my inspiration post) and I decided to ruthlessly edit my cleaning products and supplies down the core essentials. I also decided to upgrade my tools with some beautiful wooden cleaning brushes, copper sponges and wool dryer balls. I am obsessed with all the products from The Best Brushes! And because I'm so aesthetically driven, these little changes actually make me excited to clean!
Editing to the right products is key when trying to simplify your housekeeping tasks. Having too many options is overwhelming and takes more time. For laundry, while I have a couple different products to help me treat stains, it's easier for me to stick with one detergent option. A lot of parents use a special baby laundry detergent, but for the sake of simplification, I prefer to use the same product for the whole family. And to simplify things even further, I recently discovered Tide Pods Detergent by P&G, a detergent, stain remover and brightener all in a conveniently dissolvable pod. Just throw one in with a load and you're done! No measuring out the right amount of detergent. No pre-treating with a separate stain solution. No cleaning up spills. No having to the hold the bottle in a certain way so that the pump will properly dispense. Honestly, it's so easy! It may seem like a minor thing, but those added steps only make the chore that much more burdensome. Note: you can buy Tide Pods at Target both online (more about their subscription service below) and in store.
Another way I'm simplifying my chores is by developing a regular routine. When I was newly married I remember hearing about older women that had an "ironing day". As in, they always did their ironing on say, Tuesday, every week. The mere potential of this future monotonous lifestyle made me cringe. Surely they had to have more exciting things to do than plan their week around a boring domestic chore! Well folks, we're there. I do laundry on Mondays – specifically Monday mornings (hence the pretty floral robe and chemise from Pretty Plum Sugar I'm wearing in this shoot). And as constricting as that may sound, it actually provides me with a lot of freedom. Monday morning is the only time I have to think about laundry and those dirty clothes don't take up any mental or emotional bandwidth any other time of the week.
The older I get the more minimalist I become. I recently stumbled upon this blog and was forever inspired by Bea's zero waste home. And while there are many reasons I find her lifestyle attractive, one of most appealing advantages is that it greatly reduces the time, energy and money spent shopping for and replacing disposable products. Two products I recently cut from my shopping lists are dryer sheets (replaced by these great wool dryer balls) and an adhesive lint brush (replaced by this awesome natural rubber lint brush from Bürstenhaus Redecker). Of course, there will always be some products that will need replacing, for example, laundry detergent. But there are also some great solutions to help you streamline your shopping experience. Enter Target's online subscription service. You select your regular essentials (say, your Tide Pod Detergent, perhaps?), set your free delivery schedule, and then receive your products exactly when you need them, right at front door. Take about a time saver! Oh and money, too. Save 5% off your all your subscription orders and an additional 5% if you use your REDcard. And if you're looking for more savings on Tide Pods, here are some coupons.
Motherhood changes your life. And while raising a child is super rewarding and fun, there are still those practical things that have to get done. But finding ways to simplify your routines gives you more time to do the things you want to be doing. For me, that's taking Beckett on walks, visiting friends and working on the blog.

I have a couple of fun announcements today! First, the cool weather has arrived in Dallas! It's time to pull out the sweaters (like this one from Free People), scarves and leathers. Secondly, you're going to be seeing a lot more of me and Beckett here on the blog in our Mommy & Me Style series! I hope you consider that a fun announcement. I have officially released my husband from his photographer duties (mostly) and am working with Yesi from Sukilynn who, as you can tell by this photoshoot, is amazing! Lastly, this post is brought to your courtesy of one of my favorite online retailers, Zappos, along with Paige Denim and Freebird by Steven boots.
This look is truly one of my fall uniforms. Unless I'm in yoga clothes, it's difficult to find me wearing anything else but skinny jeans during the fall and winter months. But there's some special about this pair! Not only are they my first destructed pair (which I love) and my first pair of Paige denims, but they are the first pair of jeans I have purchased online, without trying on first. We all know jeans are very personal and it's important to find the right fit. That's why historically, I always try them on in store, even if I end up purchasing them online somewhere else. But, with Zappos you don't have to worry about that. Because they have free NEXT DAY business shipping on all clothing (just order by 1pm PST) AND free return shipping. So, that means if you're unsure of your size or deciding between two styles, you can buy both, get them in one day and return the second pair for free! Why wouldn't you do that?
In my mind, Zappos is first and foremost known for their shoes. Here I'm wearing the Freebird Lasso, which are seriously one of most comfortable boots I've ever tried on. But finding that right boot or shoe can be such a hassle. I swear I've spent hours upon hours searching for that perfect pair. And at the risk of sounding like a super fake ad (which although this is a sponsored post, these thoughts are seriously 100% mine) I want to say… But Zappos makes it so easy! They have one of the top search features I have ever seen. Obviously you can search by color, size, price, etc…, but you can also search by theme (fall, surf, action sports), accents (fringe, bows, contrast stitching) and heel style (wedges, cone, rocker bottom), among other characteristics. So, it's super easy to find exactly what you are looking for! And awesome blogger perk–their shoes are all shot on a white background, cutting our roundup design time in half!
Beckett and I had so much fun on this shoot. We also shot a holiday look that we'll be featuring next month with the same pair of Verdugo jeans and Lasso boots. So make sure to check back!
I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.

Bee attracting flowers in your tomato garden...
What flowers do you guys use to attract pollenators to your tomato plants? I want to know your oppinions on both looks and functionality. And, the big question, how do you arrange them in your garden setup?
Hi stonewallwill - tomatoes are self-fertile, the blooms pollinate themselves, so bees aren't need for tomatoes. Other self-pollinating vegetables include beans, peas and peanuts, lettuce, eggplant, and peppers.
But flowers of any kind are still very helpful for attracting pollinators to squash, melons, and other garden vegetables. I use lots of marigolds and flowering herbs in my garden.
Most of the old standards and favorites attract bees well -- marigolds, calendual, cosmos, celosia, sunflowers, four o'clock, blue salvia, etc. Also, Nicotiana and Verbena bonariensis are very popular with bees. Bees also love to gather pollen off of the tassles of sweet corn. Many herbs attract bees, such as basil, mint, anise hyssop, lavender, etc. Most of these things also attract other pollinators, like wasps, solitary bees, butterflies and moths.
What flowers do you guys use to attract pollenators to your tomato plants? I want to know your oppinions on both looks and functionality. And, the big question, how do you arrange them in your garden setup?
As has been said, tomatoes self pollenize most of the time. But there are some of us who don't want to encourage bees around our tomato plants since we save seeds from the fruits. One can do something about that by bagging blossoms but some of us also try to ensure lack of X pollination by using just geographic isolation.
I have plenty of flowers around and take my chances, and the bees that normally do the tomato X pollinating are the Halictid, or sweat bees that are so tiny you can barely see them.
So unless you plan to save seeds I wouldn't worry about it. And if you click on the FAQ link at the top of the page there's a good FAQ on how to prevent X pollination if you do plan to save seeds.
Thanks everyone!
Carolyn, I'm actually planning on growing heirlooms this season but I'm not really worried about x pollinization either. It almost seems easier to just order some seeds than to try and save some from the year before.
Thanks again.
Bees LooooOOooove sage. There are many beautiful perennial types of sage you can grow. Very low maintenance, unless you live in the north, and I suspect there are many that grow well there, too. (Anybody know?)
I have one in particular that I grow called White Sage, also called Bee Sage, that is a beautiful minty white-green color. Salvia apiana. I have it sculpted like a 6 or 7 foot tree in my front yard. Smells very nice, not as skunky as some sages.
I'll paste in a link to OARDCs list of bee plants. Though the list is Ohio based, many of the plants and their variants will grow around the country and succesfully attract bees to your garden.
Here is a link that might be useful: OARDC Major and Minor sources of nectar producing plants.
As mentioned, tomatoes don't need bees to pollinate, but my squash do..so what I did was place several Jasmine plants through out the garden..they smell wonderful and the bees love em. It's not uncommon to see 15-20 bees around the Jasmines and see 4+ inside the blooms of the squash..wonderful creatures they are...and docile too..I can pick without the risk of being stung.
Happy Gardening

Really a great fleet, that goes for all 3 of them. I joined House of Kular 2 month ago, but got kicked recently due to multiclaning. While i accept this decission, i really can't understand why it is essential for a fleet to exist, that all members must have all their toons in those fleets. i think this is seriously limiting options and cuts deep into the freedom of choice for members.
I get it that everybody has to agree to those terms before joining, but that doesn't make them logical or unchallengeable rules.
i don't want to make this sound like a rant because i got kicked, i'd like to look at it as a feedback from an exmember.
So anybody that is searching for a home for ALL of his toons in this game, go with UFP...great fleets.
Anybody who is just searching for a home for SOME of his toons, will just need to keep looking, which is sad for both the UFP and the person who is searching.

Mortal Strife Eternal LifePosted Friday, October 12, 2012, at 12:21 PM
Though I seldom compliment "Body-Art,"
I do like the Body-Art on this young ladies left leg;
Proudly, I might add. How about you??
And, from that thought, this:
What better Pic, than what inspired this praise/poem?
By Arley Steinhour 101212
Whether we like the thought, or NOT,
The Angels, up in HEAVEN,
Some 'Bushes,' will be a 'Mighty Oak,'
So, purchase, quick, your Ticket,
Upon your heart, let Jesus place BRAND,
No matter what Press has to say, About,
Praise & Poetry

Maya laughed. And his name is from the bible.
Calvin nodded.
Annie, who has sitting next to Maya on the bed, smiled. When we gonna go home?
I don't know.
Annie looked confused, but kept quiet. Maya stroked her hair.
Camille yawned and left the room.
Annie snuggled-up against Maya, who was still stroking the girl's hair. I just thought of something. Why aren't your mother and Kalie bursting-in to visit me, like usual?
Stuck in traffic. They'll be here soon.
I wanna find the drunk driver and give him a piece of my mind.
Maya patted his hand. I wouldn't stop you, even if I could. I heard the EMTs say they were bringing him here, too.
Calvin let up. Think they'll mind if I pay him a visit?
Maya considered. Probably. But don't let that stop you.
In that case, be right back. Calvin leaned in and pecked her on the lips, then ruffled Annie's hair and left the room.
Have fun.

When I first met Hussain, he was going by the nickname, "Leon". I didn't even know his real name until some time last year. Hussain served as an interpreter for Coalition Forces in his hometown of Baghdad, Iraq for nearly seven years: from the time he was 18, until the US withdrawal of forces, and even then continued on to work for the State Department at the US Embassy in Baghdad. Being a "local national", Hussain was never a Soldier, never carried a weapon, and never once fired a shot in anger, but he has certainly seen more combat in his childhood and young adult life than any person should ever see.
Now residing in New Orleans, Louisiana, Hussain is searching for meaning in his new life. In every sense, he is starting from scratch. None of his education translates into any American degree or diploma. At the time that this interview took place, and these photographs were made, he was still working on getting his GED, which he needs in order to attend college.
Hussain was left very little choice but to start over. He and his family were under constant threat of retaliation for collaborating with US and Coalition Forces in Iraq. So he asked many of the Soldiers to sponsor him for a refugee visa, in order to protect himself and his family from the possibility of being killed. One of the Soldiers whom he served with agreed to be his sponsor, filed the paperwork, and helped him get established in the US. His security did not come at a low price though, leaving his family, friends, girlfriend, culture, and entire way of life behind.

OT: A different sort of flower
Something most of you diehard succulent/cacti heads have likely never seen before. I'm into plants of all kinds, including orchids. In the orchid family one can find quite an array of bizarre, unique flowers. The following is a species from one of my favorite orchid genera. The flowers typically look like little mouths ready to bite someone or -- in the case of this species -- looks like it is sticking its tongue out. (Or perhaps a frog or chameleon-like head shooting its tongue out to catch a passing bug.) heh
Gorgeous! I wish I had room for orchids in my life.
Paul, it looks like an inviting little shelter, complete with tiny perch. It also looks like it would eat whatever landed on it.
Howard, Dutch Shoe is SUCH a perfect name for that flower. I don't think a better name would be possible. So, who came first? - the flowers or the Dutch?
Oh boy! Now you all opened a can of worms..lol
Just beautiful Howard, Nik and Paul! I never saw orchids like that before and I am always reading up on them every day...I have about 40. Many in budding and flowering stage..They are such a welcome to the dead of winter.
Thank you for sharing..

The year that was
Posted by
Staff Writer
Tuesday, December 31. 2013
Comments (0)
The year of our Lord 2013 is on the wane. The year flashed by, rushing like hurricane winds. Only two days remain as I sit here in my chair, pondering exactly what—if anything--I've accomplished during this year. It seems to me that we just put up the Christmas tree and it's already time to take it down. Wise folk tell me that time is relative to our ages; as we get older, time appears to move faster. I remember waiting several eons for Christmas to come around when I was a young child. So much has changed, but some things never do. For example, no matter the year, it will find me reading.
Last year I read 36 books, or at least that's the number I wrote down. In my senility, I may have forgotten a few. I kept a record because I was curious to see for myself what I read in a year's time. Some of them were really good, some mediocre, and some spectacular. I just finished reading Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch, which was an excellent book. I highly recommend it and will be returning it to the public library tomorrow if you're interested. However, by far the best book I've read this year is Thirteen Moons by Charles Frazier. As a rule, I pass along my books to others to share the pleasure, but I kept Thirteen Moons. I will surely read it again. Its rich, eloquent prose keeps me returning to it again and again to reread and savor certain passages. You'll remember Frazier as the author of Cold Mountain, which I also like immensely. The man has a way with words, to say the least. I've read all his books, but
Thirteen Moons is exceptional. If you fancy yourself a reader and haven't read it yet, put it on your list for 2014 and let me know what you think. You won't regret it.
This year also I returned to playing Bridge. Some kind souls in the community offered to teach me and a few others; it's been quite an experience. I learned the basics while a student at the University of Georgia back in the late 60s. I haven't played since then until last fall. Now count on your fingers and see how long it's been—one of those eons I was just talking about. I'd forgotten everything. Playing Bridge is not like riding a bicycle. It disappeared completely from my head. At first I thought of quitting because the game is somewhat complicated, and my brain is old. But friends encouraged me and taught me gently, so I stayed. I'd like to report that I'm now an expert, but I hate to lie in print. I do enjoy the game though, and I enjoy the camaraderie with the other players. I've gotten to know quite a few people that I only knew casually before the advent of Bridge. I believe I'll keep playing as long as they'll let me. I did have to promise though not to spill any secrets in this column. What happens at Bridge parties stays there.
The most important accomplishment of my year was time spent with my family members. I don't spend as much time as I'd like with Josh because Virginia is so far away. Thank goodness for telephones. Calvin, my eldest son, his wife Julie, and our younger grandchildren live in Atlanta. The grandchildren are growing up so fast, and we don't see them quite as much as we'd like. Trey (11) is almost as tall as Larry now. Last week I heard Jakey (9) reading a bedtime story to his little brother Will (5). It seems like just yesterday that Jakey couldn't read and needed someone to read to him. And Trey's turned into an avid reader, which delights me.
2013 has been good to us. I pray that 2014 brings good luck, good cheer, and good health to us and to all of you.
Be sure to eat greens and black eyed peas on New Year's Day to ensure your luck. Cook a smidgen of hog jowl with the peas and greens. Superstition is serious business here in the South, so don't ignore it. And whatever you do, DO NOT wash clothes on New Year's Day.
Happy New Year!

Opportunity to be your own boss.Cons
For the francise fee that they charge there was very little support from corporate. We missed the initial week of training due to a death in the family and they never called to check on us to see how we were doing. Had minimal if any advice on problems we called them about . Definitely not worth the over three hundred dollars a month that they charged for the francise fee. They did nothing to earn it.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Be more supportive to new francise owners. Att least call to check on them and offer assistance, Try returning a phone call or email.Doesn't RecommendDisapproves of CEO

BELLEVUE, WA -- (Marketwired) -- 02/06/14 -- Hipcricket®, Inc. (OTCBB: HIPP) (OTCQB: HIPP), the leader in mobile engagement and analytics, has bolstered its senior sales staff to take advantage of the company's expanding business pipeline and to better serve the growing needs of its major-brand customers.
The company has created two new national senior sales positions, appointing Phil Miano as senior vice president eastern U.S. sales and promoting Matt Nelson to vice president of western U.S. sales. The company also promoted John Green to vice president of sales.
The appointment of these seasoned sales leaders follows other recent hires that expanded Hipcricket's sales presence in New York City, San Francisco, Detroit and Boston. The company recently reported a record level of fiscal third quarter bookings (the dollar value of contracts signed during the quarter), up 51% over the fiscal third quarter of 2013.
"These three highly experienced and dynamic sales professionals are deeply in-tune with the mobile market, particularly how Hipcricket's unique value proposition relates to our clients," said Hipcricket COO, Doug Stovall. "Their appointments highlight our growing mobile advertising capabilities and they will help us to more effectively leverage the tremendous revenue-generating potential of our industry-leading AD LIFE mobile engagement platform."
Since 1998, Miano has extensively engaged in all aspects of digital and mobile sales, including leading the launch of mobile advertising at AOL. As AOL's national sales director, he oversaw the strategic and tactical aspects of mobile advertising for more than 30 AOL mobile brands, including MapQuest, TMZ, Shoutcast and Fanhouse. He was responsible for a number of industry "firsts," including the Advertising.com iPhone network, expandable "plays everywhere" mobile rich media and early-stage behavioral targeting on the mobile device. Before AOL, Miano was Microsoft's first U.S. hire to lead its global mobile advertising efforts. More recently, he was senior vice president of network development and demand sales at Collider Media, a startup focused on user level mobile targeting, which was acquired in June 2012 by Videology.
Nelson, who has led Hipcricket's west coast sales efforts since 2010, has a 15-year proven track record in digital and mobile sales. He was previously sales manager of west coast advertising for the Weather Channel, where he established key relations with Microsoft, Visa and Clorox. Prior to Hipcricket, Nelson managed a number of major brands at NAVTEQ, including Best Western, Shell and Wells Fargo, delivering advertising into in-car GPS, personal navigation devices (PND) and mobile mapping applications.
Since joining Hipcricket in 2012, Green has excelled with marquee Hipcricket Fortune 100 brands. Prior to Hipcricket, he worked in Chicago's broadcast and cable industry with leading organizations such as CBS and Comcast, where he led highly successful advertising sales campaigns. To date, Green has sold more than $200 million in advertising through digital sites, cable and broadcast TV.

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

From cloud computing and Big Data analytics to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and the Internet of Things (IoT), today we have to deal with what the industry likes to call 'paradigm shifts' at every level of IT.

New Delhi: As the government races ahead with its plan to digitise cable TV services in four metros, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday criticised the move saying it will affect poor people as set-top boxes are beyond their reach.
"Our poor people will be ruined. They should have evolved some mechanism for this. What was the need for this decision for making mandatory the use of set-top boxes?" Banerjee said here.
"Poor cable operators will be ruined. They will lose business. It will hurt the common man. How he will pay for set top boxes? Don`t they (government) want the poor people to watch cable TV and have some entertainment?" she wondered.
The government has set October 31 as the deadline for completing digitisation in four metros. The I&B Ministry is involved in a high pitched campaign for installation of set- top boxes (STBs) for implementing the digitisation process.
"They have looted the country in seven days, if they are allowed, they will give information and broadcasting also to one private party," Banerjee further said in her speech.
Trinamool leader CM Jatua was a Minister of State in the Information and Broadcasting Ministry at the Centre before the party withdraw its support from the UPA government.

RMS Says Hurd Could Be Loosed in 2002 582
from the let-slip-the-dogs-of-code dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I am looking forward to running a Hurd system. "Hurd" is much easier to pronounce than "GhNU slash Linux" is. I think that Torvalds guy should give more consideration to how he names his creations, like the GNU guys do.
Oh, wait.
RMS said in an interview in India that Hurd will see the light of day this year.
Emergency power to the sarcasm deflectors !
The GNU Project launched in 1984 to develop a Unix-like operating system to be offered as free software. By 1991, the Linux kernel was available, ahead of the GNU kernel, called the Hurd.
Oh yeah, the the Linux kernel was available in 1991, ahead of the Hurd kernel. I'd say eleven years and counting is "ahead". It's already been through dozens of revisions, spawned countless companies, aided a massive market bubble, and caused a giant, mutant penguin to terrorized Redmond, WA. I'd say it's "ahead".
The Gardener
Hurd will see the light of day this year.
Which is more than can be said for most of the people reading this
And I suppose you believe they turned on the lights at Wrigly field, too?
Yes, but eventually RMS the Grey will escape the caves of Gnuria (s/dwarf/gnome/) as RMS the White, to join Mr. Frodo Torvalds of Back End in the quest against Bill Sauron of Mordor, WA.
Seems strangely appropriate for a microkernel-based system
"Well everybody's heard,
about the Hurd!
Hurd, Hurd, Hurd, Hurd is the word
Hurd, Hurd, Hurd, well Hurd is the word
Don't you know, about the Hurd?
Well everybody knows that Hurd is the word!
Hurd, Hurd, Hurd is the word!
Surfin' Hurd
Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb... aaah!
