I am trying to figure out how i can let MS Access use a field value that is 3 rows lower. The data is from an external source which retrieves SNMP data every week. I linked a table in Access to the txt output file.
Here is a sample:
| Device | IP Address | Uptime | SNMP Custom |
| Router | 192.168.. | 1 day, 1h | IOS version |
Now when i want to get more information of the devices, Cisco descided it was needed to add new lines to the output file so now the linked table looks like:
| Device | IP Address | Uptime | SNMP Custom | SNMP Custom 2
| Router | 192.168.. | 1 day, 1h | IOS version |
| Technical Support: sometext
| Copyright (c) sometext
| Compiled | ABCD
Now those 4 lines are from 1 device and the ABCD should be in the SNMP Custom 2 field. The exessive rows i can simply delete but i have no idea how to move the ABCD value to the SNMP Custom 2 field.
Can this be done using MS Access(VB?) or classic ASP? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

What will replace Facebook? Six considerations
Jan 6th
A question I often receive in my classes and talks is "What will replace Facebook?"
It's a natural question. We look to history to see the progression of upstarts replacing established companies — didn't Facebook replace MySpace? — and of course assume there is a new idea out there somewhere waiting to unseat Facebook as the leading social network.
But that is not necessarily the case. What will replace Facebook? Here are six factors that will determine that question … and the company's future.
1. The cool factor
Facebook's biggest vulnerability is that it would fall out of favor with its core audience. If it ever becomes "uncool," its marketshare will slip away quickly. This is one reason why Google+ struggled to be mainstream. It was Tom Hanks when it needs to be JayZ.
So what is hot today? Instagram. WhatsApp. Guess who owns these? Facebook. To remain relevant, Facebook will certainly build a war chest to continue to buy platforms that are siphoning off customers and ad dollars. A smart strategy.
I think it is possible to remain relevant generation to generation. Look at Coca-Cola. Without changing the product, it has remained vital across the generations for 120 years! Can Facebook stay cool? That needs to be their number one priority.
2. The switching costs
It is far easier to change houses than to change social networks. Facebook has become a convenient hub for photos, videos, games, family, and friends. It is literally a timeline of our lives. It would be hard to give that up.
To move to another network, you would have to move all of that or start over. Not easy.
Research shows that even Millennials are diversifying their social media use but not leaving Facebook entirely. The switching cost is a huge advantage for Facebook.
3. The investment
Facebook has spent billions of dollars on software development and the extraordinarily complex processes that make it work. It has billions invested in mega-datacenters.
Facebook works really well on a massive scale. Even if you don't like HOW it is designed, you have to admit it functionally works. Duplicating that technology and infrastructure would be an immense challenge. They have such a head start … and the gap widens day by day, patent by patent.
4. The psychology of choice
In most other places in our life we enjoy having a choice. We like lots of brands in the grocery store or may shop around town to choose between different car companies.
But when it comes to social networks, we seem to only have the bandwidth for one. We don't need another Twitter. The one we have works fine.
We don't need another LinkedIn. That niche has been filled.
And we don't need another massive social network.
5. The leadership
Here are characteristics of Mark Zuckerberg that will solidify Facebook's long-term success:
- He knows what he doesn't know. He is an urgent learner and can see his own weaknesses and vulnerabilities as a leader.
- Zuckerberg has surrounded himself with outstanding business leaders, not just friends and sycophants
- He has committed to long-term strategies and investments, even when the decisions are not popular with Wall Street
- He is obsessed with a vision and has a unique financial arrangement to assure he will be the leader of his company long enough to see it through.
Facebook is a well-run company and it is being built to last.
6. The future
Facebook made an investment in 2014 which I predict will prove to be one of the most impactful technology alliances in history. It bought the immersive augmented reality company Oculus (not Oculus Rift which is the company's headset).
This is a topic for an entirely different post, but let's just say that Oculus has patents that can potentially transform the way we connect, become informed, and entertain ourselves … just as Facebook did in the last five years.
Facebook is preparing to re-invent itself in amazing new ways.
Perhaps "what will replace Facebook" is the wrong question. A more interesting question is "How is Facebook replacing itself?" Perhaps the Era of Facebook just beginning?
What do you think?
How to make a living on Vine
Dec 9th
One morning I woke up to more than 1,000 tweets demanding that I follow a guy named ElJuanPaZurita. Certainly an interesting way to start your day.
When I dug down to the bottom of the pile, I discovered that a young man named Juan Pablo Zurita had tweeted me with a request to follow him so we could chat. The tsunami of tweets? His fans trying to help him. His … fans?
Turns out the 18-year-old Mexican not only has about a million fans, he also has a manager. The young man emerged virtually overnight as an international sensation and is making a comfortable living as a "Viner" creating funny six-second videos nearly every day. He is so famous that he is asked for autographs when recognized on the street in New York.
He wanted to ask me some questions about the future of the Internet, so I invited him to have a Skype chat. I discovered that Juan Pablo is a talented, grounded, and extraordinary young man with a vision of accomplishing much more in this world beyond funny Vine videos. I wanted to share his story with you.
Here is an interview with Juan Pablo Zurita, teen heart-throb, creative genius, and one of the world's greatest Viners:
Mark: What you do is NOT easy! I am astounded by the intense creativity it takes to be consistently entertaining in six seconds! How do you keep coming up with new ideas?
Juan Pablo: It's actually easy … every day of my life I experience stuff that happens to a lot of people, so I simply take these funny coincidences in life and make them funnier! Sometimes I run out of ideas but another one always pops in a little while.
On the other hand, it's not always "real stuff" on my Vines. I also miggt create a "mini" movie with a joke in it, create some scenario that doesn't really exist. I make fun of current events and stuff in the news … but always with respect.
You often use special effects like stop motion to create zany scenarios. On average, how much time does it take each day to edit and produce a Vine video?
Some videos I can come up with in a minute or less. But most of my Vines take much more time, 10-30 minutes to film, and more time spent in editing. Sometimes it takes me hours to film a six-second video, because I have to drive to another place, or change clothes, etc.
Tell us a little about how you got started. What do you think ignited your content and attracted so many fans?
I first started doing Vines in English because I thought that interest in Vine didn't exist in Mexico. But when I got up to 1,500 followers, I realized there was great interest here. I contacted other Mexican Viners with more or less the same amount of followers as me and started making videos in Spanish and collaborating with them. We helped each other to learn and grow our followers together.
About the million fans that I have now … I really don't know what happened. It seemed like it almost happened over night.
The first time I was asked for an autographed picture was when I had 3,000 followers.
I think people feel connected to the Vines I do. They live those same experiences and that makes a bond between the us. And because the videos are so natural, organic and looping … People really love them and it gets to a point when they admire you. I think it's crazy! I still don't understand this Vine phenomenon or how it happened but I do have to say that it has changed my life. My fans have helped me achieve a lot of important things in Mexico, and I love them.
In just a few months, you have become an Internet star. How has this impacted your personal life?
Totally, Vine had an impact like nothing else in the world, not like YouTube, not like Twitter, Instagram, or anything. It was one huge BOOM.
My life totally changed in several ways. People started recognizing me in the streets and asked for pictures. At the beginning they said "you're the guy from Vine!" and then it was "you are JuanPa Zurita" as if I was an artist they admire.
Then I was asked to be on TV shows and attend meet-ups and conferences in different states in Mexico … Really crazy!
And of course I started making money, not only with Vine, but also Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, because as Vine grew, my other social networks grew too. So at the beginning Vine was a hobby but it has become a responsibility and I treat it like a job.
But the most important thing is to always remember who you really are. I am just a kid with a good sense of humor. I know that. A lot of well-known Viners have really changed, thinking they are actually famous and they have stopped being humble. I want to always know who I really am.
What kind of money do you make as a Viner? What kind of sponsors do you have and how do they find you?
I do make money on Vine but because of my audience I also have sponsors on Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat. I also charge for appearances at conferences and shows.
So, the way it works is that a brand gets in contact with me and asks if they can sponsor a certain amount of Vines/posts/tweets, and I agree or disagree depending on the payment. Sometimes I chat with the brand for several days to achieve the price that I want or just not accept it.
I also have a manager that is in contact with a lot of brands and he offers me several deals. If he gets me a campaign he gets 20 percent of the payment and he handles everything for me. But in the end it's me who decides if I want to do the campaign or not.
I have worked with a lot of brands, small and big ones in several social networks. I've done pictures for Motorola, tweets for movies like The Fault in our Stars, and Vines for Coca Cola, Axe, Bubaloo, and many others. I work in Twitter and Vine for Telcel. It's the biggest mobile phone company in Mexico.
How long can you sustain a career as a Viner? Where do you go from here? What's next?
I believe Vine has a strong future. It has had its epic moment and right now growth on Vine is stable.
On the other hand I am starting to make Snapchat stories … this is a whole new and different thing. I think you have a bigger connection with the followers. It's like a window into your personal life and I think it's going to get even more important in the next years.
Then of course there are opportunities on YouTube, which I do not consider as a social network, but mainstream entertainment. A huge future. I'm going to start making YouTube content to the max! The key is to always be consistent, and have an honest presence in all social networks.
About sustaining a career … I believe I can sustain a career doing what I do on the Internet. But if I have the opportunity to study in college, why not take it? Even though I have a profitable career, following through on an education is important. I'm not abandoning the Internet, I am just making my opportunities larger.
By associating my college career with my Internet career I believe I can do even bigger things in the future and have an unbelievable impact on people.
I'm sure your interest is piqued by now! Here is a "highlight reel" of Juan Pablo in action, six seconds at a time … (Warning: a small amount of strong language, that may not be appropriate for work)
How Facebook changes our behavior
Nov 18th
I always find it curious when people compare our social media presence with our REAL presence in the "real world."
What makes people think that Facebook is NOT the real world? Increasingly, we are beginning to see these lines blur.
We create our personality on Facebook.
But Facebook is also creating our personality. Facebook changes our behavior. Seriously.
Recently, Facebook demonstrated how it can alter our moods by manipulating our content. This is a company that can affect our opinions.
New research shows that social proof on Facebook contributes to our view of our self-worth, quantifies the value of friends and shapes what content we share.
Where will it lead, and in the near-term, what does this mean for marketers? Fascinating question, right? So fascinating in fact, Tom Webster and I devoted an entire podcast to it.
This one covers a lot of territory in 30 minutes!
- The power of social proof in our online marketing world
- Content competition and the homogenization of our streams
- How we are being "trained" on what to post on Facebook
- The Facebook reward system that is creating our online personas
- What are the implications for brand content
- Could Facebook manipulate political campaigns? Is it already happening?
I'm sure you are anxious to get right into this one! Let's get on with the show!

Ello and the weird economics of social media
Oct 7th
The advent of Ello has been one of the most interesting developments of the year. The new social network promises a simple, ad-free platform to connect and share.
Wait. Ad-free you say? In fact, the platform's founder, Paul Budnitz, has been making the media rounds proclaiming he "doesn't care about money."
While there is probably more to this network than pure virtue, Ello is undeniably HOT, signing up 30,000 new users every HOUR.
Many bloggers are trumpeting this little start-up as the Facebook killer but is that realistic? Is it possible? And when the stripped-down application offers significantly less functionality than the ad-free Google+, why is this even catching on? Is this something important, or simply a reaction to failures of other networks?
Tom Webster and I could not resist exploring this topic on our latest podcast which is sure to get you thinking about social media platforms in a new way. This is a jam-packed 30 minutes and just a few of the nuggets include …
- Social media and the advertising "bargain"
- Ello and the implications for brands
- The economics of privacy — Why don't Americans care?
- The biggest problem facing Ello — it's not what you think!
- Dynamics of Ello may force better content
- Economic models that are under-utilized on the web
- Opt-in advertising for brands — the future or a privacy nightmare?

New York Magazine's Grub Street
Two dishes from the über talented chefs of Spoon and Stable and Heyday were featured on New York Magazine's food blog, Grub Street! These images were a part of a feature about "103 of the Most Visually Exciting Dishes in America". So happy to be a part of this!
Because some mornings you wake up and you just HAVE to make something. A quick trip to the farmers market was in order - and I was on a mission to find the prettiest colors and shapes that I could for the day. These are all so simple, but I'm pretty happy to have created today.
Food + Color // Test Shoot
I have always believed in test shoots. They are a way to collaborate and try our ideas, new ways of shooting and if we're lucky, a little portfolio building. I've been shooting a lot of food the last couple of years and they are some of my favorite assignments. I seem to connect with food and the culture around it so naturally, but I wanted to create a little something out of the box and new. I've had the idea of mono-chromatic food in my head for a while now. Like, what if we made food poster art? What if we photographed food in a modern, minimalist, graphic way?
I gathered some of my most talented friends and colleagues, Chef Jon Wipfli of The Minnesota Spoon, Creative Director Liz Gardner and my Editor Liz Hardt to join me and we simply had an afternoon of creating. It was fun, it was chill and I love the way these images turned out! Everyone gave their time and talents to this idea, and I am very grateful for that! Personally, test shoots like this fuel my creativity and make my work stronger and I think shoots like this are so necessary as artists. Check out the little series of Food + Color below, along with the behind-the-scene photos!
Welcome to the new site!
Welcome to the new site! It always feels like a huge accomplishment to update and refresh our online presence, but as we all know, this is usually one of those projects that sits on the back burner for a long time. Seeing all of the updated work together makes me so, so proud.
We've been hustling. Like, for real, in the last few years, I have taken on a lot of new clients and expanded our editorial portfolio *quite* a bit. I feel like I've been working at an insane pace and I have to take a moment to say THANK YOU to my team. From our interns to our assistants to our production team - I truly can not thank you enough. You all know who you are and you support me on a daily basis to create the best work possible. For all of the Art Directors, Editors, Project Managers and Producers that we have worked with - thank you for pushing us creatively and hiring us for these opportunities. I also need to specifically thank Loop, Liz, Josef, Sara, Shawn and Conor for all of the critique and technical help I needed to put this together.
As I began editing down this new body of images I realized that in many ways there is a whole new shift to the work that we are embarking on and we are also hitting our stride a bit. While still focusing on portraiture and lifestyle images we have begun to incorporate more food and location photography as well. It's all so exciting and I can't wait to see where we continue to go.
I hope you enjoy the new look and the new work!
NEAL Jewelry Lookbook + Launch
I was happy to photograph the new look book for NEAL Jewelry's latest collection, NOVA. The brand, formally known as Carrier Pigeon, just relaunched as NEAL Jewelry and with this, came a whole new look. Liz Gardner of Bodega, ltd. had a huge part in both the concept and styling of this shoot, where much of the inspiration came from the new colors of NEAL + the 90's. Mom jeans, Linda Evangelista, all of it. Heather Byington was our talent and Romeny Chan lent her talents for all of the hair + makeup. Below are some of my favorite images from the shoot, along with some behind the scene photos.
MSP Style Makers // September 2014
The month of September brings a new issue of MSP Magazine to the newsstands and I have been SO excited to share this for quite some time. I was asked to photograph the cover + feature story for the magazine and this turned out to be one of my most favorite projects of the year. In the magazine world, the 'September' issue is always usually centered around fashion and style. MSP chose to highlight real people, who influence the style in Minneapolis, for their issue this year. I must say - this was one room packed with powerful, successful and very creative individuals. Minneapolis always seems to constantly provide a city full of talent and I always feel so lucky that my job allows me to cross paths with many of these people. I often leave feeling very inspired. As for my crew, we pulled together our dream-team to make this happen! Special thanks to Flashlight Photo Rental, Romeny Chan and her crew for hair & makeup, Liz Gardner of MSP for art direction, design and styling, Liz Hardt for post production and Ali Kaplan of MSP for writing the article. This issue is special, because the cover is not one - but two pages! It's a gatefold cover that highlights all of the talented people in the feature. As for the individual portraits inside the magazine, we wanted to show every person's style, so we asked them to come along with their own belongings to be styled. My job was then to capture everyone's personalities - in one frame. Below are the spreads that are published in the issue, along with some of the behind-the-scene photos from our shoot! (Special thanks to our interns, Hanna and Melissa for these!) Here's a list of our Style Makers for this article, they are people you will surely want to follow:
Lisa Castro // Director of Design for Target
Keith Dorsett // Manager at Heimie's Haberdashery
Dahlia Brue // Owner of IDUN
Devin O'Brien // Co-founder of Search and State Clothing

Best Pizza in Minneapolis // MSP Magazine // August 2014
Before this month of August slips past us, I have to share two features that we were a part of in Minneapolis / St Paul Magazine! First, we added another cover to our roster, and I absolutely love how it turned out! August was all about the best pizza in Minneapolis and the surrounding areas. The cover pizza is from Red Wagon Pizza and I love how the beets and arugula popped out to readers and passersby on the newsstand - and props to MSP Design Director, Liz Gardner, on the great design. I think the guys at Red Wagon thought I was a little crazy, when I was moving the pizzas all around to find a great space to shoot them on. Turns out, an asphalt driveway was the winner! I've been photographing a lot of food this past year and I have really, really enjoyed it. Above all, I am able to immerse myself in the local food culture of Minneapolis, which is one of my favorite aspects of this city. This feature took me to Pig Ate my Pizza, Pizzeria Pezzo, Cossettas, Hello Pizza, Randy's Pizza, Two Pony's Pizza Farm and Red Wagon Pizza. I met so many great people, who are passionate about creating the best experience ever for their guests and I am so happy with how this turned out! The second feature in the August issue that we worked on is all about Social Media! You can read all about that here!
Social Status // MSP Magazine
Social Media is a part of all our daily lives right now. Chances are, you found this blog post thru a link on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter! The August issue of MSP Magazine, featured a story on 10 Minnesotans who's presence on social media is helping them grow their passions. I personally knew a few of the subjects, before they stepped into the studio to be photographed, but I also met new people who are doing such cool things! From illustrators to poets, lifestyle bloggers to foodies - and even fitness - all of the people in this article have one mission: to inspire their viewers. We photographed the portraits for this article at 514 Studios in Minneapolis and it's so fun to see how this came together! A special thank you to Liz Hardt and her post-production skills for this article and to Julie Lam for styling. (I swear, it takes a village to make images look good for the final product sometimes! There are a lot of moving pieces!) Truth be told, I am SO proud of all of the people in this article and am honored to have had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit and being able to take their portrait. They are all doing amazing things and following their dreams - and this is the greatest success of all! You can read the entire article, written by Ali Kaplan here, and also make sure to check out all of the wonderful people featured in the article:

Red Wing Shoe Company //
This past winter, I had a dream-photo-assignment come thru my inbox. The story was all about Red Wing Shoe Company and my job was to document the process. So, on one cold, polar vortex morning, I loaded up my Volvo with the rest of the crew on this project - Steve Marsh, the writer, Drew Wood, the Digital Editor from MSP Magazine, and my intern, Liam. We all trekked on the icy roads down to Red Wing, Minnesota and began the fascinating tour, guided by Japanese designer, Akinobu Iwasaki. Hell, we even brought along the Capture Film Co. dudes to create a video for this project that you should most definitely check out! I was interested in this assignment for many reasons, but being able to see the actual process of how these boots are made, blew me out of the water. From the tannery to the factory, well over 100 hands touch each boot before they are ready to be shipped. Now, I know that the Heritage brand has been pretty trendy these past few years among the hipsters, but Red Wing really is so much more than that. What I took away the most was the sense of pride that each worker has, working for the Red Wing Shoe Company. It was quite inspiring. Below are some of my favorite environmental portraits from our time at the company and you can read the full story here! As a body of work, these are images that I am really proud of, and I hope you enjoy!

APATD resolves to oppose Tipaimukh Dam
Aizawl: The Affected People`s Association of Tipaimukh Dam (APATD) on Thursday resolved that it would fight to the end to make the Centre stop the proposed construction of the dam as it would displace a large number of people.
"The authorities must take cognisance to the people`s concern and immediately stop construction of the proposed Tipaimukh dam, else people will fight to the end," said a resolution adopted at a meeting of APATD at Khawpuar.
Lalpekliana, APATD General Secretary, said the height of the proposed dam would be 162.8 metres and it would submerge an estimated area of 31,950 hectares, displacing a large number of people living in the villages of Manipur and Mizoram.
The rich biodiversity in the area would also be destroyed, he said.
APATD president Lalthulien Joute also said that no amount of money could compensate for the loss of land and livelihood to be destroyed by the proposed dam.

Love (n): giving someone the ability to break your heart, but trusting them not to.
"They call her love, love, love, love, love... they call her love, love, love, love, love... she is love, and she is all I need..."
Why was this song playing in my room? Why, I haven't the faintest... okay, it was on my playlist. I was MizT_Precious on playlist dot com, and I had several playlists. The one currently playing was my "Songs to Play Specifically for Gaara" playlist, in which all the songs involved love in one form or another. Right now, "She is Love" by Parachute was blaring through my computer speakers. I was happily belting out to it, as loudly as I could, not even attempting to make my voice sound halfway decent. My mother was out of the house today; in town, probably at places that had pretty packages all tied up with colored bows-- the shops that carried "the finer things", as my mother put it. I was very joyful about this. It meant I could play my music and sing as loud as I wanted to, and nobody would get on my case about it.
"Hey, Akashi."
I yelped and fell out of my spinning-desk-chair-thing. I looked up, eyes wide. There, on my window ledge, was Sabaku no Gaara. He was crouching, looking at me with a blank, listless expression. I had to hold myself back from blushing; here he was, looking glorified and handsome, as usual, and here I was, in only my pink tank top (with spaghetti straps, darn it) and black shorts-- what I'd worn to bed last night. "G-Gaara-sama! I-If you don't mind my asking, what are you doing in-- or, or outside-- my house?"
"Well, obviously, I'm watching you make a fool of yourself, Akashi." He shifted slightly, scaring the dickens out of me. It really was frightening; if he moved the wrong way, he would fall off. The sand would protect him, of course, but it was still making me tense. "I was bored. Why else would I come to see you?"
"... Okay, good reason." I slowly stood up.
He glared at me slightly. "What on Earth is that music?"
"Oh, my playlist?" I sat down in my chair again. "It's called 'She is Love'. It's by Parachute." I looked over at him again. "Would you prefer I change it, Gaara-sama?"
"To say the least," he answered, crossing his arms. I almost yelled and hit him over the head for being so careless. "But, after all, it's your house. If I told you what to do, that would be terribly rude, wouldn't it? I wouldn't like it if you came into my house and all of a sudden told me to shut off my Dethklok CDs."
I rolled my eyes. That was his subtle way of saying, "Well, duh". "Here, let me switch it to the next song, then. And, please-- you're making me really nervous, Gaara-sama. Just come in."
Now, any normal, sane person would have simply stepped or jumped inside off the windowsill. But, as you may very well know, however, Gaara is not normal or sane. (Yes, I realize I have just put myself in the running for the Understatement of the Century Award. Thank you, it's an honor just to be nominated.) He used the Teleportation Jutsu, appearing in a cloud of sand, sitting cross-legged on my bed. "Thank you for the invitation, Akashi." He glanced around. "Nice place you got here."
"Yeah, whatever. Let me change the song for you." I clicked the icon, and the song changed to "One Time" by Justin Bieber.
"Next song."
"Okay." Click. "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga.
"Sure." Click. "Can't Help Falling in Love" by A*Teens.
Click. "Battlefield" by Jordin Sparks.
Click. "He Could Be the One" by Hannah Montana.
Sigh. Click. "All You Need is Love" from the Across the Universe soundtrack.
"Is every stupid song on your stupid playlist about LOVE?!"
"Sorry, Gaara-sama." I clicked to the next song, "Cry" by Mandy Moore, and turned it down. "But, you know, I designed this playlist strictly for you."
"Oh? Then, why didn't you put some songs that reflect me on this playlist? Like, oh, say, I don't know... perhaps 'Let the Bodies Hit the Floor' by Drowning Pool, or 'Monster' by Skillet?"
"Because that is music created for emos to slit their wrists to."
"I tried that once. Didn't work out too well, what with the sand and all."
"Yeah. That's because you're supposed to work on not marking your body with self-inflicted scars. They don't just hurt your body, you know. When you cause pain to yourself, that damages your mind, too. I wish you would just listen to one of these songs."
For roughly the next three minutes, he was quiet. For all intents and purposes, he was listening to "Cry". After the song ended, and "Two is Better Than One" by Boys Like Girls featuring Taylor Swift began to play, he blinked at me. "And? Why did you want me to listen to that?"
"Well, it's about love. I find that it fits you quite well, and..." I mumbled, turning away, so he didn't hear.
"What was that?"
"I said..." I muttered again, a little louder this time.
"You will say it, or you will find yourself on the business end of my Sand Coffin for the-- the-- er, umpteenth time since we've met."
I sighed. "I said… it kind of fits my feelings for you."
For the first time in my life, I had actually done something I'd failed to do before: I managed to shut somebody the hell up.
After a few minutes, and three more songs ("Gotta Be Somebody" by Nickelback, "Smile" by Uncle Kracker, and "I Love You" by Martina McBride, for anyone who cares), he finally moved. He lie down, placing his hands behind his head. "So, Akashi... have you ever been in love?"
I sighed in relief; he'd decided the drop the subject on that song. "Well... only once."
"Did it end well? I mean, did you keep non-violent ties with the boy or girl?"
I sighed. "Okay, let's first get something on the right road, okay? I am straight."
"Well, fine. Did you stay on good terms with the boy?"
"It's... complicated, Gaara-sama."
"Explain it to me."
"I don't even really understand it, either. I'm still learning, myself."
"The best you can. Which I know isn't much, but it's better than nothing."
"Well... he didn't really know I liked him. I don't think it's ever going to work out between us."
"So, you are still in love with him?"
"Yeah. It's... weird, you know. Even though I'm sure I'll never have a chance with him... I can't help loving him."
"How does it... feel?"
"Feel? What do you mean?"
"Physical symptoms, Akashi. Does it affect you physically?"
"Oh, of course! Let's see... whenever I see him, it's like I lose sight of everyone else, and I can't hear anything but him. Whenever I come around him, it feels like there are butterflies flitting around in my stomach. Whenever he's talking to me, I have trouble breathing. And... whenever our hands touch... even by accident..." I sighed, sitting down on the bed and lying next to him, looking up dreamily at the ceiling. "It's like we're the only two people in the room. Like we're in our own world, where... where nothing can hurt us."
"Nope. Nothing at all. Not even other people's words."
He got up, and walked over to the window. "Is it... wonderful, Akashi? Is it the most... amazing thing you have ever experienced?"
"Yes. Most definitely. When I'm with him, or looking at him... it's like nothing else matters. Like it's just us, the only two people on the entire planet. It's... breathtaking." I breathed in, sitting up. "The most amazing thing I've ever experienced."
"When you say that, Akashi..." He glanced back at me. "It makes me feel... bad. Like... I don't want you to like this boy."
I let myself smile a little. "You're jealous."
He hopped up on the windowsill. "I have to go." And he vanished in a whirlwind of golden sand.
I went over to the window and brushed the grains that had been left behind with the very tip of my finger. I giggled. "Oh, don't be jealous, Gaara-sama."
Pretending he was still here, I imagined that he'd just asked why he shouldn't be jealous. I smiled at my imaginary sandman. "Because I wasn't talking about just any boy. I was talking about you. I only love you."
The opposite of love isn't hate; it's indifference. And if you hate me, that means you still care.

text: Leaf miners cause unsightly tunneling beneath the surface of holly and other leaves. The adults emerge in May and that is the time to take action. Get in touch with your local Cooperative extension office (Penn State) for up to date chemical controls in your area. Any infected leaves that drop should be cleaned up right away as these contain eggs that will hatch in due course and re-infect the hollies. If you see leaves on the plant that have been tunneled, remove these as well. Unless the infestation is really severe, it is probably not necessary to resort to chemical controls.

Summary of Major Actions of the Legislature's 223rd Session
By RICHARD PEREZ-PENA
Published: June 25, 2000
ALBANY, June 24— The 223rd session of the New York State Legislature roared to a close Friday, with a head-spinning succession of deals on major issues that made this the most productive session in recent memory.
The Senate, the Assembly and Gov. George E. Pataki agreed on a far-reaching package of gun controls, a major overhaul of the state's sexual assault laws and a law providing heavier penalties for hate crimes. On the final day of the session, they reached agreement on a law allowing patients to look up doctors' malpractice histories, a few days after striking a deal on a law requiring parental notification when pesticides are used in schools, and possible neighborhood notification when they are used on lawns.
It was a session marked early by feuding between Mr. Pataki and a fellow Republican, the Senate majority leader, Joseph L. Bruno, that had some Republicans saying the governor was trying to overthrow the Senate leader. Later, it was the Democrats' turn to fight among themselves. The Assembly majority leader, Michael J. Bragman, attempted a coup against the speaker, Sheldon Silver, that failed and left the Democrats splintered and wary of each other.
But relations between the two parties -- particularly between Mr. Silver and Mr. Pataki -- were remarkably calm throughout, with little of the partisan carping, personal attacks and legislative paralysis that have marked the last several years.
The state budget was completed on May 5, just 35 days overdue, in the least contentious process since 1993, after years of budgets that ran two, three, even four months late. That averted the gridlock of previous years, when the focus on the overdue budget prevented work on other issues.
A persistent theme of the session was the Senate Republicans' moving further than ever to the left, fearful of their prospects in November. They only grudgingly accepted bills on gun control, hate crimes, pesticide notification and other subjects long embraced by the Assembly Democrats.
The Democrats gave ground on the sexual assault laws, but over all, won more big legislative victories than in any other year since Mr. Pataki became governor.
Lawmakers were unable to reach agreement on a few notable issues, including a bill that would have required legislative approval and a local referendum for a proposed Indian casino in the Catskills, and proposed rule changes for Republican presidential primaries.
In the Assembly, 9,938 bills were introduced and 1,036 were passed. In the Senate, 7,038 bills were introduced and 1,261 were passed. Some 681 bills passed both houses. Mr. Pataki has signed 94 of those.
The state, continuing to enjoy the bounty of the economic boom, is awash in tax revenues that allowed a significant increase in spending and sizable tax cuts at the same time. Lawmakers approved a $77.5 billion budget, up 5.7 percent from the year before, with tax cuts that will eventually be worth $1.2 billion a year.
They increased spending on education by 8.7 percent, to more than $13 billion, including continued expansion of the two-year-old program to provide prekindergarten classes for 4-year-olds and smaller class sizes in the early grades.
The largess extended to college students, who saw state tuition assistance increase significantly, and to the elderly, who saw a doubling of the state program to help the low-income elderly pay for prescription drugs.
Medicaid, the largest part of the budget at $29 billion and the spending area that had generated the most pitched battles since Mr. Pataki became governor, was never an issue. As part of a deal reached in December on health coverage for the uninsured, the governor agreed that for the first time he would not try to cut Medicaid, the health care program for the poor.
At the governor's insistence, the budget included the first limits ever placed on New York's state debt, the highest in the nation. The ceilings will go into effect gradually over more than a decade, but they were welcomed by Wall Street rating agencies. The budget also greatly increased the size of the state's various reserve funds, to more than $3 billion.
At the same time, Mr. Pataki and the Legislature agreed to put a $3.8 billion bond act before voters in November to help pay for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's capital program and improvements to the state's roads and bridges.
Crime and Justice
Decriminalizes the possession and sale of hypodermic needles without a doctor's prescription.
Would ban assault weapons, mirroring the federal ban, and allow local prosecutors to enforce the law.
Would require the inclusion of trigger locks with all new handguns sold.
Would require that new handguns be test-fired before sale so they could be entered into a ''ballistic fingerprint'' database for all guns used in crimes, for comparison later with bullets and shell casings found at crime scenes.
Would require background checks of gun buyers at gun shows, even when the seller was a private citizen, not a gun dealer.
Would raise the minimum age for obtaining a handgun permit and buying a handgun to 21 from 18.
Would explicitly apply the crimes of rape and sodomy to cases of date rape and acquaintance rape.
Would increase penalties for sale or use of date rape drugs.
Would create a sex crime of forcible touching, with more severe penalties than have been possible.
Would raise the maximum age of victims for cases of statutory rape to 15 from 14, and would raise the maximum age of victims for cases carrying the most severe penalties to 13 from 11.
Would increase penalties for repeat sex offenders and for people who committed sex crimes against mentally disabled people.
Would abolish laws that prevented prosecution of sex crimes when the victim was the attacker's spouse.
Would prohibit the granting of bail for people accused of serious sex crimes against minors.

The Marvel Comics hero (created by cartoonist Stan Lee in 1962) wasn't in Kansas City to make a celebrity appearance at the Jones Store, though. That's one thing that distinguishes him from other sticky figures of the same era who shopped there: Henry Kissinger (famous for spinning political webs), flaming fitness guru Richard Simmons, model Cheryl Tiegs, conservative suck-up radio commentator Paul Harvey, lesbo tennis champion Martina Navratilova.
But, this snoopy sizzler has discovered, Spidey's mission in Kansas City started out surprisingly low-key. His "real" persona, New York City Daily Bugle photographer Peter Parker, had been assigned to cover a national happening at the Kansas City Zoo, when China loaned a rare panda to the zoo in gratitude for needed grain shipments. (Don't pretend you don't remember this vitally important cultural exchange between Kansas City and China; it came only a decade after President Richard Nixon's historic diplomacy-pimpin' trip to Beijing.) Anyway, the Chinese panda story was a national event one that involved Spider-Man and the Incredible Hulk battling the bare-chested Kraven the Hunter right on the grounds of the Kansas City Zoo. It turned out to be a nasty fight that at one point knocked down a stone wall, setting ferocious lions free to chase terrified visitors in Swope Park.
OK, so maybe it wasn't such a national story after all. "Chaos in Kansas City" was the title of a 20-page comic book that locals found stuffed in their copies of The Kansas City Star as an "advertising supplement." Unlike traditional comic books, which carried ads for sea monkeys, candy bars and cheap toys, this particular issue focused on clothing lines carried by the Jones Store (Farah, London Fog, Jordache).
"We did a lot of unusual promotional tie-ins in those days," recalls Jeffie Mussman, who was director of promotions for the Jones Store from 1979 to 1991. "It was a whole different era in marketing."
Mussman only vaguely remembers the full-color comic book from 1982. Its glossy cover shows Spidey and the Hulk thrashing it out with Kraven right in front of the downtown Jones Store. And she certainly has no memory of the unintentionally hilarious moment when Peter Parker spends some time hanging out around the Scout in Penn Valley Park. By the time a grinning Peter walks away from the Liberty Memorial, he's decided he needs a new shirt.
Soon, Parker is chatting up a sales clerk at the Jones Store. "I'm going to need it right away," he says, leading this hunk of meat to wonder what exactly happened in Liberty Memorial Park. Was Spider-Man showing off his legendary ability to, as the Web site Marveldirec tory.com puts it, "shoot thin strands of a special 'web fluid' at high pressure"?
At the end of the comic book, Spider-Man gives his street clothes to a nearly nude Dr. Bruce Banner, the world-famous physicist, who arrived in Kansas City as the Incredible Hulk but reverted back to his original form after saving Spider-Man's life in a grain elevator. He's forced back into the Jones Store to buy a new suit. Luckily, the department store is having a sale.
Spider-Man's unexpected appearance at the store draws lots of gawkers, but in retrospect, he wasn't the biggest celebrity to show up there in the 1980s.
"The biggest crowds we ever had came to see Lawrence Welk," Mussman says. "He was promoting his book, and we had a bubble machine going and an accordion player, and we sold lots and lots of books."
Sigh. The Strip always lamented the long-closed Jones Store's own hulking emptiness. That's because this shoppin' shank thinks a downtown ought to have a department store, just so those of us who live and work in the area can buy our own orange oxfords. But if the biggest real-life crowd came to see Lawrence Welk, maybe we don't miss the ol' place so much after all. RIP, downtown Jones Store.

The Stranded Villas was by far the best Villa we stayed in on our holiday in Bali. I couldn't speak more highly about this place, it's a complete gem of a find. It was above and beyond our expectations. It looks even better than the photos and they look pretty amazing! This villa oozes style and charm. Right from the beginning, booking the villa to checking out we were well and truly looked after by the wonderful host Virginie. She was absolutely amazing and really made the time we spent there. I wish more hosts were like her! We will definitely be returning as soon as we can.
This villa was so amazing! One of the best places we stayed at in our two week stay in Bali. A very beautiful space that is thoughtfully decorated with amazing art pieces. The pictures do not do it justice! Virginie was beyond helpful. She sat with us and went over anything we could ever need along with plenty of recommendations. She was able to schedule us private massages in the villa and laundry service was also available. Breakfast was always delicious. Everything was perfect in this villa. We truly had a wonderful experience. When I return to Bali I will be staying here again.
Virginie and Philip gave us a very warm welcome upon our arrival and was always at out disposal if needed. She was a very attentive host, giving us very useful tips for trips around the island. Moreover, she provided us with loads of additional information about the neighbourhood. With many small shops and cafes around the villa, it was the perfect place to be for us. The Villa itself was amazing, with very tasteful furniture, clean and new bathrooms, comfy beds and loads of nice daylight. Also mosquitos were never a problem. The breakfast was also always good and tasteful, and so was the pool.
Virginie's place has been like a home to us during our stay in Bali and we couldn't have had a better time anywhere else. The house gorgeous and spacious, and I liked that it was conveniently located, just a short drive from town, yet still private and peaceful. Inside, there was everything that we could need, including the TV, books and DVDs that unfortunately distracted us from getting out of the house. We especially loved the breakfast, which was fresh and just enough to help us start out the day.
However, for the most part, our trip was perfect because of the warm hospitality and help that Virginie has given us. She was there on the very first day to guide us around the house and neighborhood and made us feel welcomed and comfortable. Whenever we had any requests or problems she was always able to resolve them quickly and promptly. She also gave us a lot of useful tips about going about Bali, especially since it was our first time there and we were quite clueless. She was very caring and thoughtful, sometimes checking in during the night to see if we were all right and allowing later checkout due to our late flight back. Lastly, her two helpers and driver were very friendly and helpful too, helping us with the cleaning up of the place and our rooms.
I wish we didn't have to leave so soon, and I hope to come back again in the future! Will definitely recommend a stay here.
Great villa! Gorgeous design love the old and new. Big pool for bali villa standards. No mosquitoes which is absolutely amazing and so rare for a villa with similar landscaping. Virginie is a fantastic host she is so quick to respond and helped us order in meals to the villa or get a taxi. Also the in villa massage and laundry service is well worth it. Virginie provides a local mobile
Phone for u to use too which was so useful. We felt safe in the villa. Ice cream at BONDI cafe just outside the villa is yum.
We spent 2 nights at the Stranded villa. Virginie is a very nice and informative host. She took time to tell us about the neighbourhood, good restaurants around the villa and activities we can do. Her advice is helpful and the restaurants she recommended are very good indeed. She even recommended some 'delivery' restaurants if we didn't want to leave the house.
The villa itself looked exactly like the pictures. It's located inside an alley so it's very quiet eventhough it's quite a busy street outside. We like the rustic but charming and cozy feeling of a home. The villa is tastefully decorated with rustic antique local arts. It is clean and well maintained. The pool is of a good size and very clean.
The villa is spacious. It has two areas separated by a swimming pool, one side is air-conditioned modern bedrooms (2+1) and living room and on the other side is an open air joglo house. We can enjoy the natural open-air feeling in the morning and evening and spend time in the air-conditioned living room during the day when the weather is hot. We especially like our family breakfast time in the joglo house.
In summary we like the villa a lot. There are many good restaurants not far from the villa and there is a small massage just beside the villa. Just perfect to spend time with my family. We enjoyed our family getaway at the Stranded villa.
Thank you Virginie for being a lovely hostess. Hope you'll stay a long time in Bali. I already recommends your villa to my friends on my return.
I am very upset with Virginie.
After staying at her villa in Umalas (which is a perfect location by the way), I am unable to stay anywhere else without comparing it to hers! From our arrival at the airport till our last day, Virginie and family spoilt us rotten with their wonderful hospitality and company.
Whether you are a first timer to Bali or a seasoned traveller, this villa is just about the ideal location to be at. It's close enough to the action, yet secluded enough that you have peace and quiet at night. The architecture is stunning and it is no exaggeration to say that the place looks as good as in the pictures, which is not common to say the least.
Her ever-smiling staff took good care of us during our stay and we even had the privilege of Virginie and Philippe preparing a simple breakfast for us on the last day! We thoroughly enjoyed their company and it felt like we've been friends for a long time.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Virginie and her villas to anyone. If you're a regular Airbnb traveller, you will know that ultimately it's he host that matters most and I'm not sure if they come any better than Virginie. The Superhost tag is well and thoroughly deserved.

Former David's Cafe II workers protest for back pay
Approximately 30 workers seek upwards of 74k in unpaid wages
For the past few weeks, former employees of the now defunct Lincoln Road staple David's Cafe II have been protesting outside its sibling restaurant on Collins, claiming alleged wage theft. According to a source, "These workers are owed about 20 weeks of wages and many have worthless checks that were given to them by the owners in an insulting attempt to "pay" them before David's Cafe II closed in late July."
The workers--approximately 30--say they are owed about $74,000, a sum that the Department of Labor has acknowledged, but is unable to help recoup. "Limited resources prevented [the Department of Labor] from pursuing the case," says the source. "The workers have now filed wage theft claims through Miami-Dade County's wage theft program and an investigation into David's Cafe's has begun."
The workers were planning on protesting again at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday.
According to the source, "The owners have admitted they owe the workers and even provided workers with printouts from a payroll database showing the amounts owed to each person a couple of weeks ago when workers showed up as a group at the restaurant," but still haven't paid. "Owner Adrian Gonzalez complains about greed but it is his and his family's greed that has resulted in many workers and their families suffering."
Gonzalez didn't reply to our requests for comment.

Just looking to see what's out there. Not looking to rush into anything but if i meet someone great then let nature take it's course.
I feel it's best when you get to learn about someone from talking with them and spending time together but a brief breakdown would be I was born here in Southern CA and have spent time in SF,KC, AZ, Chicago and now back to Southern CA. I hated moving as a kid, but now that I look back on it i'm glad I had the opportunity to live in such different places and meet so many different people. Now as an adult I enjoy going to new places and being out of my element. I work in the entertainment industry as do 95% of the people I seem to meet in LA. If I wasn't doing what I do now I would probably be a coach/teacher. I'm looking at match as a way to hopefully meet a woman that I share mutual interest with, but at the same time show me something new. I could continue to list characteristics after characteristics, but you don't get to know someone by just reading a profile so if you have questions I have answers.

I enjoy movies, music shows, out of the ordinary things you don't do everyday.
