36 year old woman | Philadelphia, PA, USA | Seeking men 26-40 within 30 miles
A love of family and friends brings me joy. That, a few dogs, an open mind and road.
I'm a happy person, with a sense of humor I think is hysterical, but others don't always get. But that's ok. I make myself laugh. I love my family and friends. Spending time with them is very important. Money is great to enable us to do for ourselves and our families, but I don't place it first. My two dogs are my joy. They make me smile, even when they are attacking me for more love and I'm done rubbing their bellys or petting them. I served in the Army after being commissioned through ROTC. I served four years. I've now been working as a contractor supporting the military overseas in Germany and in the states for the last seven years. I'm now making a transition in life and applying for college to study nursing. Writing about myself is a tad odd to me... I will just leave you with these few things. I want a person in my life who derives their happiness from making their partner happy, in helping them become better than who they already are, and I will do the same for you. But, not meaning changing the person. I'd like the man that I am with to dance without needing liquid courage, haha! You must love dogs. If you cook, you can do no wrong. I like an easy going spirit, who doesn't mind a woman who has an opinion and is independent. I am a Gemini through and through. I believe that a smile is always a great pick me up !! Ask me more if you care to. It's the only way to start.
Camping , Cooking , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Cycling, Dancing, Running, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Dogs
I love animals, especially dogs. I have a Lab mix and a Jindo, both rescues. Would love more, but there is only so much room sometimes...
Cannot say I have any here in Philly. I just moved back. But for travels Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague. I always love catching a Broadway show!!
Stand by Me is my favorite song and movie. I like to bbqing and cooking in general. I'd go to amusement parks all the time if I could. Though coasters freak me out, I can't help but ride them. I like going out, but hanging out at home is great too
I love going to museums, the theater, hiking, going to games, bbqing and being with my family and friends. I like to read, be outdoors, dance and playing with my dogs.

WWE Will Be In Las Cruces On January 30th
Watch The Rock Confront Rusev On Monday Night Raw
From Beginning to End, the Franchise of the WCW
Sting, born Steve Borden on March 20, 1959, began his career teaming with Jim Hellwig (later known as the Ulttimate Warrior) in Continental Wrestling Association. Together they were the Blade Runners, with Borden changing his name from Flash to Sting and Hellwig going from Justice to Rock
Top Fifteen Stables in Wrestling- Five That Missed the Cut
Before we head to the top stable of all-time, let's take a look at the five stables that just missed the cut for our list:
5. Los Boricuas- Formed in June 1997 after leader Savio Vega was fired from the Nation of Domination, Los Boricuas were made of strictly Puerto Rican wrestlers
Top Fifteen Stables in Wrestling- Number Three
Our Number three stable of all-time catapulted World Championship Wrestling into the lead of the Monday Night Wars with the World Wrestling Federation before growing too big for its own good. While they had a huge part in WCW's success, they also played a massive in WCW's eventual demise and sale to WWF
Top Fifteen Stables in Wrestling- Number Four
No stable in the history of professional wrestling did better of representing the past, present, and future of the business than our fourth-best stable of all time. Their name perfectly stated what the stable was about, and, even after it was dissolved, the young members of the stable would evolve to reach the highest point in the World Wrestling Entertainment

I Love this PRODUCT ! from the packaging to the product I just love it !
I usually have a problem finding mascara's that lengthing and give my lashes volume and this worked, its says that it gives you 9x volume in one use and its soo true. I had no clumps what so ever and this shocked me because with every mascara i have used in the past i have had clumps with it. My old favorite was lastblast but now this has beating lashblast by a mile! i would DEFINATELY recommend. The only bad thing about this product is the smell

I got this in glam black and I had high hopes, but it did nothing for my lashes. It didn't make them look longer or fuller and the smell was strange. The only plus side was that it didn't clump. But with a name like colossal I was expecting a lot more. I will be sticking to lash blast.

I I'm a big fan of Maybelline mascara. It's the only brand I buy. I really liked the Volum' Express Turbo, so I bought this one as soon as it came out. The packaging is sort of ugly, being bright yellow but it's not like I'll be putting it on display. It really does make lashes huge with the first coat without clumping. Putting on a second coat however makes them clumpy, but the first coat is so huge that I don't need a second one. It doesn't have a natural look, but if you're wearing something called "the COLOSSAL" I don't think you should be expecting it to look that natural. I'm torn between one coat of this or using 2 coats of the Volum' Express Turbo. I would definitely recommend using this if you want huge full lashes in one coat.

i've had this for two weeks now and it's not working like it was on the first day. At first this was 10x better than lashblast because it gave me a TON of volume and length and i liked the packaging. it was THE best mascara i had ever used and i was in lurrveee. But..no more. =,[
pros (during the 1st week of use):
-AMAZING volume + length
-cute packaging
-great brush
-smelled like dead roses
-showers of black flakes on my cheeks by the end of the day
-gray tint (color isn't as intense as lashblast)
pros: (now--2 weeks later)
-packaging still is cute
-it's inexpensive
-still REEKS (the smell goes away after 30 minutes or so)
-gives me spider eyes
-no longer creates full lashes
-skinny, ugly, clumpy lashes ( i like the way my naked lashes look 49503x more than how it looks now with the colossal)
- clumps easily
-the formula dries quickly
i haven't changed application technique or how many coats i put on. I will be shipping this to Maybelline tomorrow (they pay for postage) and will be receiving a coupon in the mail for any other maybelline products.
This was fun at first and performed like magic but unless you are wasteful and are willing to buy a new tube of mascara every other week i would not recommend this.
back to trusty old Lashblast for me =D

I really dig this mascara! I personally like the yellow pakaging because it is easy for me to find in my sea of cosmetics and reminds me of the 80's which I LOVE! Who cares about smell of mascara (reminicent of plastic roses)? It goes on your eyes! It creates soft fullness and adds a lot of length! I have little to no flaking unlike orignal Turbo Boost. I really to LOVE this mascara and actually like it better than my Dior Show (I never thought I would say that, but it's true!). Please RUN to grab a tube and try it!!!

First off, about my lashes and previous Mascara Experiences. My lashes are medium length, leaning towards short, and are pretty thick, but are horribly undefined and clump together even without mascara on, somehow... I continue to defy nature in the, uh, prettiest ways. And I go through mascara like celebrities go through hair colors... most look okay, but I'm allllways searching for the perfect one.
There are a lot of things I love about this. This mascara is great for looking natural- swoop it on and go out the door -or sit around the house looking fabulous, like me- but if you layer it, it can be very dramatic too. As an experiment I performed while ridiculously bored, I put lash blast on one eye and colossal on the other, and in the opinion of all my interviewees, colossal looked nicer, and I agree. It's quite a bit like lash blast, but it's softer, clumps less, can be used for a better natural look, and it makes lashes a little fuller than lash blast does. The Colossal's brush is much better too, big and full instead of spiny, plastic, and covered in loads of excess.
It also has a slightly less ridiculous name. (Colossal! Lash BLAST! I can't wait till Eyelash Explosion.)
And the scent. It IS pretty strong, but there are worse smells, and it fades quickly. Besides, the last person who sniffed my eyelashes was one I'd want to ward off anyway. The only problem I have is with the shade selection. Two shades of black? I wish there was a brown, and maybe a blue, too, I like this formula so much.
Overall, I'm going to keep it as my staple, and I'd recommend this versatile mascara to just about everyone.

I'm not a big mascara user for for nights out, this is the bottom of the barrel for me. It's *obvious* mascara, doesn't look natural at all on me. The old-style brush allows clumps of mascara to collect by the core of the brush, and as such, it goes on clumpy. While it *does* add length to the ends of the lashes, it does so in a very visually obvious way - you know it's mascara and not lash. The Lash Blast brush is far superior, but even DiorShow Blackout with it's old-school brush outdoes this product.

I was prepared to be wowed by this mascara. It was not so. While it is an okay mascara, it just didn't live up to how wonderful I thought it was going to be. Pros: cheap, decent, easy to find. Cons: just decent, packaging is a little too much. Would I repurchase? Maybe, but I still like the fullness that Voluminous imparts. Colossal made my lashes kind of "twiggy" looking - and I don't mean like Twiggy the model's lashes (I wish!), I actually mean that they kind of looked like little sticks!

I don't have a problem with the Cards winning - it reminds me that we can do it too. They played a heckuva a Series - the only downer was Casey not winning.
David Eckstein
World freakin Series MVP.
I think I just lost my appetite
the fact that the reds won the season series from the "world champs" induces emesis
Meh. If anything, this will make St. Louis a bit less hungry. I see that as a positive for the Reds.
"I prefer books and movies where the conflict isn't of the extreme cannibal apocalypse variety I guess." Redsfaithful
The Reds are no longer the most recent team in the division to win the World Series.
But that just means their next one is that much closer, right? Right.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
That George Grande is going to be even more insufferable next season.
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
That all the world will continue to hear how St. Louis is the greatest baseball town (which is a crazy urban myth).
I'm going to miss Johnny Beisbol
I don't mind the Cards winning; if anything it gives me hope that the Redlegs will be there soon, too. The Cardinals were not a lot better than these 2006 Reds were.
Also, it reminds me that, in MLB today, you don't have to have the best team to be World Series Champ. The goal is not to have the best team, it's to win the World Series. Wierd logic, maybe, but it makes it easier to reach the goal.
Actually, it could be a positive for next year...the Cards will have to open their pockets to keep their current pitching staff intact, therefore it could feasibly make us more competitive in the division.
Just when I didnt think things could get any worse with St. Louis winning the World Series.....I read the George Grande option of this poll. 2007 could be the season from hell.
And a close second for me was the Eckstein one, that name should never be mentioned with the letters MVP.
I wish there was an "all of the above" option. Oh and also add that I work with about 20 insufferable Cardinal fans! I'm seriously hurting over here you guys. Alas, I continue on as a Reds fan undaunted. Purchased my tickets for Redsfest yesterday and cannot wait.

hematologist, medical scientist
Bruce Evatt was born in a small town in Oklahoma in 1939. He received his medical degree from the University of Oklahoma School of Medicine in 1964 and his advanced training in internal medicine and hematology at the John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD. As a hematologist interested in problems of blood clotting, Evatt has been especially concerned with the health and welfare of individuals with hemophilia and other bleeding and clotting disorders. He has worked with hemophilia patients since mid-1965, first on the faculty at Johns Hopkins Hospital and from 1976 at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). He has served as a volunteer for Hemophilia of Georgia and on its board until the mid-1980s and as a CDC liaison to the National Hemophilia Foundation and to the World Federation of Hemophilia since the mid-1980s.
His program at the CDC is a national program directed at the prevention of the complications of hemophilia, thrombophilia, bleeding and clotting disorders specifically affecting women, and thalassemia. He believes that with the proper organization of health care resources, proper education, and the involvement of the hemophilia population in the preventive elements of health care, individuals with hemophilia can live normal, productive lives free of major complications.
His major accomplishments include identifying AIDS as a blood-borne disease affecting persons with hemophilia and blood-transfusion recipients, demonstrating that heat-treatment of human clotting factor concentrates inactivates HIV, and identifying a new class of congenital clotting disorders, protein C deficiency. Presently, his major activity includes managing a national program directed at preventing complications of hemophilia and related bleeding and clotting disorders.

Caribbean, amazing views and close to the city, can be quiet or loud, find your favorite area. A lot of other nice beaches walk distance also.
Gaibu and Calhetas are beautiful, clean, safe, great for family vacations or day trip from Recife. You can have dinner cooked on spot to go with your beer, just talk to the ladies in the barracks.
Ver Quaint place. Much more than the other beaches. Beautiful protected areas and ruins around! Near the capital, it takes around 40 min to get there. I heard the surroundings have been a little dangerous lately, after they developed the oil business there!
I love Calhetas!! It's about an hour's drive from Recife and is really the easiest of the "Postcard" beaches in Pernambuco to reach... further away is Porto de Galinhas... Calhetas has a couple of little barzino's with really fine food... it's a protected cove with pristine water, surrounded one side by huge boulders and on the other dramatic cliffs. You...
This beach is even more beautiful when you look at it from the above -- you can do it along the access road.
This is a small beach. It should be much better to enjoy it during the week, when there's much less people there.
Access road is dirt but that's no big deal to reach the beach.
The beach is too small and the sand is thick. The restaurant has a nice food, but the service is extremely slow and inefficient. The bathroom is clean.
Don't get the service of "Luck Receptivo" (the main travel agency of the region), it's very expensive and they fool the clients.
It's like a private bech, a nice location,beautiful!
On weekdays at least. Ideal for families with children, who don`t mind driving all the way to this beach. Food and drinks might be expensive at the restaurants nearby.
This beautiful small beach is surrounded by hills and one can take a walk from Gaibu to the rocks to the hills to down the hill to arrive at the beach – take a few snacks at Arthur if you feel hungry & thirsty! Recife youngsters enjoy to go to this beach on week-ends, but may be tiresome and troublesome...

(Due to an internal oversight, this guide was inadvertently left out of many March issues. Real Simple apologizes for the error.)
Black Beans
Sometimes called turtle beans, these shiny, purple black legumes are rich in magnesium and have a smooth, velvety texture. Their subtly sweet taste is delicious with smoky flavors, such as chipotle. Try black beans in a cool salad with pineapple, scallions, and cilantro, or use them to stretch ground beef in tacos.

"When I found the old popcorn maker stashed away in a back closet of our FOB (Forward Operating Base), I couldn't imagine it would ever work. After some parts and TLC, I got it running again. The next step was figuring out how to get the troops working for me some popcorn to eat! I called several companies, tried Amazon, etc. Nobody was able to ship a large bag of popcorn, salt, and oil to an APO address. Then I tried Nationwide Candy, and Jason was immediately able to put together my order and get it shipped out to me. Nationwide Candy and Jason have no idea how happy they have made my 200 troops to have a little taste of home out here in Afghanistan. It's the little things from back home that keep us going, and Nationwide Candy had a big part in that. THANK YOU!"by Mitchell H. on 10/16/2014

Caroline Manzo is the epitome of a strong New Jersey woman. Always putting family first, she is a devoted wife and mother of three children, Albie, 28; Lauren, 26; and Christopher, 25. Caroline has been married for more than 30 years to her husband Albert who runs The Brownstone, a very successful catering facility in Paterson, NJ. The business has been with the family for over 30 years and is one of the premiere event spaces in the state. Although Caroline spends the majority of her time managing the household, her family has been known to run her ragged as she supports BLK Water, Brownstone Sauce, and Cafface Beauty Bar. Caroline is affiliated with several charities including SCTNOW, a foundation dedicated to stopping child trafficking within our own borders, CROC, a foundation dedicated to helping cancer survivors, Best Friends Animal Society, Wounded Warriors Project and The PG Chambers School, a NJ facility dedicated to educating children with physical and mental disabilities. Often described as a feisty spitfire, Caroline manages to have it all -- family, friends, and a career. In her opinion, that is what makes her a "Real Housewife" of New Jersey.

As states across the country are recognizing the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War it seems that a new battle is starting over the union. Tea Party legislatures from Arizona to Virginia and now New Jersey are introducing a resolution to support a Constitutional Amendment that will allow for nullification. In New Jersey this is ACR170 sponsored by Assemblywoman Amy Handlin and Assemblyman Jay Webber, who was Governor Christies Republican Party Chair. 150 years after the Civil War we are now going through the same political exercise that ended up causing the war in the first place.
Nullification is a political construct that would give the states the power to nullify federal law or regulations. This is what the civil war was fought over. The southern states believed they had the power to nullify or not follow federal law when it came to the issue of slavery. The concept of states rights comes out of giving states the right to nullify state law.
Even though parts of New Jersey is below the Mason Dixon line New Jersey was clearly a union state. Maybe what's happening is Amy Handlin is confusing Fort Sumter with Fort Monmouth. Jay Webber may think he is Stonewall Jackson. Today's concept of nullification has more to do with the Tea Party's attempts to attack environmental protections and regulations. This version of nullification would give states the power to not follow the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act or Safe Drinking Water Act. Along with other regulations that protect public health and the environment. The irony is that Governor Christie is following the Tea Party agenda by eliminating Red Tape and has signed an Executive Order saying New Jersey should have no rules stricter than the federal government. His own party is saying we should not have to follow federal rules either.
Many of Governor Christie's Executive Orders and Red Tape reforms come directly from the Tea Party agenda that is being promoted in other states. Governor Christie, under the excuse of regulatory reforms, is weakening environmental regulations for polluters and special interests. This is not about meeting the needs of New Jersey, but is part of a national environmental agenda for the extreme right to eliminate environmental protections and public safeguards.
The more national exposure Christie receives the further right his positions shift. Climate skepticism is a main tenet of the Tea Party. After running on a campaign platform of promoting renewable energy and green energy jobs in New Jersey, Christie shocked the state by announcing he is doubtful climate change is caused by human actions. The Governor has appointed pro-development individuals who have spoken out against the Highlands regulations to serve on the region's Water Protection and Planning Council. The Governor wants to dismantle the protections in the Highlands rules which are up for readoption next year.
Perilous Tea Party policies are sailing through the Statehouse backed by the Governor and the Democratic Legislature. New Jersey has already passed a bill that would allow state agencies to challenge the rules adopted by another agency with an administrative law judge having final say over the disputes and ultimately the agency's rules. Public oversight and transparency are lost in the process and agencies promoting development can challenge rules that protect our environment from more degradation. These policies are not based on the needs of New Jersey's economy, budget deficit, or citizens. Christie is raising his national profile by implementing the Tea Party wishlist to rollback environmental protections at the state level throughout the nation. Christie is using talking points and tactics straight from the national developers and polluters' agenda to dismantle over 30 years of landmark environmental protections in New Jersey. We hope that Governor Christie stands with former New Jersey Governor George McClellan a union general that lead the union forces during parts of the Civil War instead of with the secessionists members of his own party like Texas Governor Rick Perry and Representative Michele Bachman.
Just a short time ago Governor Christie was given an award from the Union League in Philadelphia founded to support the union in the Civil War. It seems that Republican Party is moving away from Lincoln and siding with Jefferson Davis. President Andrew Jackson prevented nullification in 1832 by sending troops to South Carolina to surround the legislature stopping them from nullifying federal law. We fought the Civil War and passed the 13th and14th Amendment to prevent this nullification because President Lincoln, Congress and state legislature believed we needed to form a more perfect union. More than 600,000 brave Americans died during the Civil War to end nullification and states' rights. We would be doing a disservice to their memory and what they fought for with ACR170. Nullification was used by the southern states during the 1960s to support segregation and to block the implementation of the Civil Rights Act or Voting Rights Act. Civil rights had to be enforced by US Marshalls integrating schools, buses and giving African American citizens the right to vote.
A government for the people by the people shall not perish from the Earth. Not get nullified from Tea Partiers.

Some play hard to get. I play hard to want!
I hate spiders - I know that's not a manly thing to say, but I do. I hate them. I can handle blood, I take boxing lessons, I'm a guy's guy (very handy - used to remodel houses), but no spiders. I only have a few rules- A) Must have a great sense of humor. Not that I don't have a serious side, but I LOVE being silly/sarcastic and need someone who can hang. Nothing worse than saying something so outrageously ridiculous and having the person look at you with that confused dog head tilt and say, "really??". No, not really. My father is not Rick Springfield. Geez. B) You cannot be a drunk but you have to drink. You have to appreciate the beauty of going out after a great week/horrible week and having a few drinks. Doesn't matter if it's a nice glass of wine or a dollar PBR at happy hour. (God bless all the 12 steppers out there - nothing against sobriety). C) You must own or have access to a TV. I'm very busy these days and watch very little TV but a minimal knowledge of pop culture is imperative. Lets just say if you can tell me one of the three new American Idol judges and/or one of the Simpson's characters outside of the Simpson family you probably pass. D) Finally, you are not allowed to idolize anyone/anything stupid or merit-less. If you think Kim Kardashian is doing anything more than stealing oxygen from the rest of us, or if you think "shot, shot, shot shot shot" is the best song ever, this may not work out. I'm a sucker for a great smile, love for animals, an infectious laugh, confidence, creativity, and taking chances... oh and a girl that looks great in workout clothes! I think when I die, assuming I have been a good person, that the top of my heaven escalator is going to look like the inside of a Lululemon store. I really am looking for more from a relationship than how you look in tights, but in the interest of full disclosure, I have walked into a parking meter before because I was staring at a mannequin in workout clothes. ;)

Derby County midfielder Craig Bryson eyes further glory in 'best season'
Posted: April 26, 2014|
CRAIG Bryson says play-off-bound Derby County have not achieved anything yet – and is determined to make the most of their promotion chance.
The Rams have secured a top-six spot in the Championship and Bryson is determined to finish the job by helping the club go back up to the Premier League.
The Scotland international believes Derby have surprised a few people this season – but he is not content to stop there.
"I don't think many people expected us to get in the play-offs at the start of the season – or to be third at this stage," said the midfielder.
"So whatever happens, it has been an excellent season.
"Everyone it delighted to be in the play-offs, but we haven't achieved anything yet.
"We've still got work to do.
"We've got two games to cement third place and that's what we want to do.
"We obviously want to make the most of the opportunity we've got here.
"But all the other clubs involved will be thinking the same thing.
"Every team and every player wants to get to the Premier League. Hopefully, we can come out on top."
Bryson joined the Rams in the summer of 2011 from Scottish Premier League club Kilmarnock.
"Derby is a massive club," he said. "I knew it was a big club before I came here but when you sign, you realise how big it is.
"With the fan base, the stadium and the training ground, everything is set up for the Premier League.
"We just need to try our best to get there now!"
Bryson has enjoyed a fine campaign on a personal level, scoring 16 goals from central midfield, including hat-tricks against Millwall and arch rivals Nottingham Forest.
"It's been the best season of my career by far," said the 27-year-old.
"The score the number of goals I have from centre midfield and get two hat-tricks has been really pleasing.
"And to make the play-offs is a new experience for me.
"It's been an excellent season for me, personally, and to be honest, I don't want it to end!
"I think when you play in a better team, it sometimes brings the best out of you.
"We've been excellent this season – everyone in the team. I don't think you could pick out one failure.
"We're playing well as a team and we just want to keep it going in the play-offs."
Derby will be looking to join Leicester City and Burnley in the top flight after the duo sealed automatic promotion.
"The way Leicester have won the league after what happened to them last season (losing in the play-offs) has been unbelievable.
"They've been the most consistent team in the division, along with Burnley.
"They both deserve to be going up.
"At the moment, we're the third best team in the division and we want to stay there."
Derby take on Watford at the iPro Stadium today, kick-off 3pm, in their final home league game.
The Hornets are 12th but still have an outside chance of sneaking into the play-offs themselves.
"I'm sure Watford will still believe they can get into the play-offs," said Bryson.
"They're not too far off and have a game in hand.
"They'll be thinking if they can beat us, they've got a slight chance of getting in there.
"It just makes it an even harder game for us."

'Rogue IT' less threatening than thought, and decline may be a good thing
The term "rogue IT" doesn't seem to grab tech headlines quite the same as it used to. And for good reason: the practice is either on the decline or seen as less threatening, a new study reveals.
Cloud sprawl worries IT execs
IT executives are growing increasingly concerned about rogue cloud services, particularly cloud storage, cloud synchronization and cloud collaboration applications.
Shine some light on shadow IT
There may be no stopping the business units from signing up for their own on-demand software or services, but there are ways to keep the wayward behavior from spiraling out of control. CIOs can impose some order by moving into the role of honest broker, reports Toby Wolpe at TechRepublic.
IT will continue to generate need for IT pros
There's no shortage of pundits predicting an imminent demise for IT, what with the growing popularity of cloud-computing. But pay no attention to them, advises Bob Lewis at InfoWorld, because technology is far more complicated than they imagine it to be.
Rogue clouds infiltrate enterprise
The majority of companies using the cloud have business managers who are signing up for services without consulting IT. These "rogue clouds" were deployed at 83 percent of the large enterprises recently surveyed by Symantec, and they're among IT's biggest challenges, reports Ellen Messmer at NetworkWorld.
NoSQL is lurking in the shadows
Integration remains a key reason for IT's being, and the greatest integration challenges these days might be found in NoSQL, writes Bob Lewis at InfoWorld. If IT departments don't get ahead of the business units when it comes to NoSQL, they may find themselves forced to integrate it while simultaneously being blamed for deployment delays.
A case for shadow IT
Shadow IT can cause headaches for the IT department, but at the same time it can increase productivity for the business as a whole.
How to combat the damage of rogue IT
CIOs face the same challenges as any other department heads, such as recruiting talent, cultivating teamwork and driving innovation. However, unlike other department heads, IT chiefs also have to

Meet Wendy Davis's running mate
This article originally appeared on MSNBC.com
A mother of six could be the next lieutenant governor in Texas.
Holding elected office was the last thing on Leticia Van de Putte's mind when the opportunity unexpectedly presented itself. She had six children—all under the age of 10—and was running two small businesses in 1990 when a state legislative seat became vacant in a heavily Hispanic, lower middle class district in the heart of San Antonio. A quirk in Texas law left it up to the party precinct chairs to select the legislator to fill the seat.
Five men were running and after interviewing all of them, Van de Putte—who was one of the precinct chairs—was unsatisfied. Her husband nudged her to consider it. Her oldest child was more blunt: "There aren't enough mommies there."
Two decades later, Van de Putte, who is a pharmacist, found herself right back where she started, staring at an all-male slate. The positions being pushed by the Republican candidates for lieutenant governor left her angered and dismayed. Each one of them has pledged to end the Texas DREAM Act —a bill Van de Putte authored. They also promise to curtail what few options remain for access to abortion in Texas, to mandate the teaching of creationism in schools and to change the 17th amendment which established the direct election of U.S. senators by popular vote. More traditional pro-business policies were nowhere to be found.
Van de Putte decided to seek the lieutenant governorship. As she explained in her announcement speech: "mama's not happy." Van de Putte is running alongside state senator Wendy Davis, Democratic candidate for Texas governor. The two women will square off against an all-male Republican ticket. Below is an interview with Van de Putte, condensed for space and clarity.
Q: How does a ticket with two Democratic women at the top appeal to Texas voters?
I guess we're going to find out. I think that there is a lot of synergy but that we both happen to be females, should that be the news? We just happen to be two gals. And the state has a history of electing women—(former Democratic governor) Ann Richards, and (former Republican senator) Kay Bailey Hutchison. There was a time when all of the major cities were headed by women. There were eight mayors in the cities in the 1990s – Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, Corpus Christi. They were all women and the state didn't fall apart.
Q: Do you consider yourself pro-choice? Continue Reading
The State of our Union: Immigration
This post originally appeared on MSNBC.com
Inside the Capitol Rotunda, to thundering applause, President Obama said: "leaders from the business, labor, law enforcement, faith communities, they all agree that the time has come to pass comprehensive immigration reform." That was one year ago, when the state of our union, the president said, was "stronger."
Weeks later four Republican and four Democratic senators came together to heed the president's call for action. Months of intense debate followed, and a bill passed in the Senate.
That was the high point of immigration reform, and all indications suggest that the issue is unlikely to be a key point in next week's State of the Union address.
But after a bruising, partisan year, Obama's hands-off approach just might be needed to finally make a difference for more than 11 million lives.
In the summer of 2008, Obama made a promise – that comprehensive immigration reform would be achieved in his first year in office. La Promesa de Obama, as it came to be known in the Latino community, went unfulfilled.
In 2012, the president asked the Latino community to give him another shot at keeping his promise. Now La Promesa hangs over the president's head.
It's time for both parties to feel ownership over the issue. Continue Reading

6 Metre
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (January 2009)
The International Six Metre Class is a class of classic racing yachts. Sixes are a construction class, meaning that the boats are not identical but are all designed to meet specific measurement formula, in this case International Rule. At their heyday, Sixes were the most important international yacht racing class, and they are still actively raced around the world. "Six metre" in class name does not, somewhat confusingly, refer to length of the boat, but product of the formula; 6mR boats are, on average, 10–11 metres long.
The International Rule was set up in 1907 to replace numerous handicap systems which were often local, or at best national, and often also fairly simple, producing extreme boats which were fast but lightly constructed and impractical. The Six Metre class was not the smallest rating established under the rule, but was nonetheless the most popular, and they were chosen as an Olympic class in 1908. However, it was not until revision of the Rule in 1920 when the Sixes really became a popular international racing class. The 1920s and '30s were 'golden age' of the International Rule boats and Sixes were still the most popular class, attracting top sailors and designers to compete for prestigious trophies such as Scandinavian Gold Cup and Olympic medals.
Alexander Robertson and Sons Ltd (Yachtbuilders) produced a total of five 6-Metre yachts between 1921 and 1953. In 1937 their young naval architect David Boyd designed the sleek 6-Metre racing yacht Circe, which was described by many as the most successful racing yacht produced at the yard. Mr J. Herbert Thom, one of the Clyde's best helmsmen sailed the yacht with tremendous success in America in 1938 and brought back the Seawanhaka Cup, which was successfully defended in home waters the following year. In later years Circe represented Russia in the 1952 Summer Olympics.
However, Sixes were also criticized as having become too expensive and towards the end of the 1930s they became more so, making the class too exclusive, as under what is known as the Second International Rule (1920 - 1933) the yachts had gone from being less than 30 feet in overall length to being almost 40 feet. By 1929, 5 Metre class was becoming more popular as a cheaper and smaller alternative for Sixes, but the final blow was creation of International 5.5 metre class in 1949. 5.5 m soon replaced 6mR as the premier international racing class, and after 1952 Helsinki Olympics Sixes were dropped from Olympic regattas. The Gold Cup was also transferred to 5.5 m class from 1953 onwards.
Despite this, the class continued to exist, and new boats were made utilising the newest contemporary technologies, although sparingly. During the 1980s, many old sailboat classes experienced revival of interest and Sixes were at the forefront of this development. The Class has undergone a renaissance which has continued to the day, with many old yachts restored or rebuilt to racing condition, and 6mR competition is once again thriving. Performance differences between classic and modern era Sixes are usually small and they can be raced together.
The 6 Metre Class is one of the potential Vintage Yachting Classes for the 2012 Vintage Yachting Games.
Several variations of the rule have been developed to meet specific criteria. Perhaps the best known is International One Design class, which was designed by Cornelius Shields and based on the 6mR boat Saga.[1]

World Cup: Quarterfinals
We have now reached the Quarterfinals of the 2014 World Cup Brazil. The Round of 16 provided many moments of excitement and some near upsets. Five of the eight matches went to extra time, two went all the way to penalty kick shootouts, and two had all the goals scored in extra time
