Sea Green Eyes (Chapter 1)Green. That's what they were. Just fucking green. Not the color of the ocean after a rainy evening. Not an irresistible mix of blue and green. No. None of that. Your name is Nico di Angelo and you are by no means, in any way attracted to that ass wipe. He sighed, running his hands through his dark hair. Who was he kidding. He looked up at the stars from the mast of the Argo II. Percy was finally back. He was safe. He was with Annabeth. Nico sighed. This was none of his business. He was being a fool. He should just come out and say it. But at the same time, every time he tried, something held him back. Something at the back of his mind kept telling him Percy would throw him overboard and Annabeth would help. Jason was wrong. No one would understand. No one ever understood.Sea Green Eyes (Chapter 1) by immortal-s More Like This

DCRC Act 1 Sub Act 1Gods, I can't believe what utter shit this series is. Some of this is just pathetic. The saddest thing may be the fact that Daedalus actually thought it was funny. OC stories, author inserts, they're all obnoxious. A lot of this stuff isn't even original. Admittedly, Daedalus gets better at coming up with their own material later on, but at the beginning, half of this stuff is practically just a huge rip off of other stories like this.DCRC Act 1 Sub Act 1 by GuardianofInventors More Like This

Computer Engineering and Intelligent Systems www.iiste.orgISSN 2222-1719 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2863 (Online) 2863Vol 3, No.8, 2012 Improvement opportunity in Agile Methodology and a survey on pportunity the adoption rate of the Improved Methodology Mohammad Naderuzzaman (Corresponding author)Department of Computer Science and Engineering Dhaka University of Engineering and Technology (DUET) Gazipur, Dhaka, Bangladesh firstname.lastname@example.com Dr. Mohammod Abul Kashem Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering Dhaka University of Engineering and Technology (DUET) Gazipur, Dhaka, Bangladesh Drkashemllduet.ac.bdAbstractAgile method promotes an iterative process on software development. It is a lightweight process that employsshort iterative cycles, actively involve users and developers to establish, prioritize, and verify requirements andrely on a team's tacit knowledge as opposed to documentation. In this paper we describe the existing agile papermethodologies and improve its different parameters so that software development industries can adopt it moreeasily. It describes the improvement of overall understanding of the constituent parts of agile systemsdevelopment methodologies and some improvement of different parameters. In our proposed method we design ta Tool of adoption matrix which will help software development industries for adoption decision solution of theImproved Agile Methodology. We have described the result of different software workshop where the adoptionassessment will be used to assess the existing agile system and the improved agile system. The result from thistool will help software industries to apply the improved agile methodologies.Keywords: Agile Methodology, Adoption decision, Adoption assess tool, Improvement of Agile. :I. IntroductionAgile method promotes well disciplined process encouraging frequent inspection and adaptation, a leadershipphilosophy encouraging teamwork, self self-organizing team and self-accountability. Agile method is a set of accountability.engineering best practices allowing clients/customers for rapid delivery of high quality software. Keeping thisentire thing in mind, it is still a troublesome work to adopt agile methods for the team/organization. However, in team/organization.the study of agile process in particular, it is desirable that the metrics collection program is lightweight andinconspicuous to the team's daily activities [12]. It is also widely believed that systems developmentmethodologies (SDMs) can help for improvement of the software development process. The latest batch ofSDMs is most appropriate in dealing with volatile business requirements [11]. Agile software development iswidely recognized as a mainstream software development meth methodology and agile-driven software projects are drivenmanaging the disciplined manner and attain the impressive result. In the agile system testing gets top prioritywhen the customer is an ongoing interaction with the development and procedures and time estima estimation are set,gathered, analyzed and also acted upon [13] There has a rich and interesting issue between the relationship of [13].the deployment of agile systems development and organizational culture as this are the richness of the concept of"organizational culture". Cultures is such a organizations are always contested, changing and emergent andmeanings are always created, recreated, negotiated and struggled in organizations [14] In this paper, it has been [14].designed an adoption tool (depending on some agile critical factors) by which software industries can assess howconfident it's team to adopt agile method. Here, in this paper it also improved the some core agile parameters anduse the same tool on the same team. After that in the discussion point, it has been shown a list of changedparameters for the agile software development methods.II. BackgroundThe word ''agile'' by itself means that something which is flexible and responsive, so agile methods implies its''[ability] to survive in an atmosphere of constant change and emerge with success'' (Anderson, 2004, p. xxviii). constantThis ''maneuverability'' in software business is a characteristic that is more important than ever these days since''deploying software to the Web has intensified software competition further than before'' and ''staying in furtherbusiness involves not only getting software out and reducing defects but tracking continually moving user andmarketplace demands'' (Cockburn, 2002, p. xxii). The definition of agile software development has beencontained in a form of "manifesto" in Feb/2001 by a software development methodologies group. [1] ed 20
Computer Engineering and Intelligent Systems www.iiste.orgISSN 2222-1719 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2863 (Online) 2863Vol 3, No.8, 2012 Most Agile software development literature cites the use of application development projects, mostlyimplemented in object-oriented languages, it also applied successfully on embedded projects as both share orientedcommon themes. Particularly, agile methodologies target toward problems involving change and uncertainty, andare adaptive rather than predictive [1]. Agile methodologies highlights collaboration and team int interactions, itvalues people over process. As per it's manifesto, it can be apply to any team endeavor. It also commonlyadvocate a barely sufficient process [2], which suits well with hardware engineers [3]. Are agile approaches effective to introduce and sustain meaningful change in any software developmentorganization? How agile approaches are leverages beyond the projects development work? What are the processinvolved in approaching agile into an organization and how a leader becomes more agile in adop adopting agileapproaches? DTE Energy's Information Technology Services (ITS) organization continues to grip and extend theagile mindset with their culture [4]. In this paper we assert that agile principals and techniques linked withsoftware development projects can be eagerly applied in other types of organizational work and in creating and ectssustaining an effective leadership culture. Agile methods are a response to the inability of traditional methods to embrace change in a turbulentbusiness environment requires the software to meet your needs quickly (Highsmith & Cockburn 2001, Kruchen uires2001). The basic underlying principles of agile methodologies are: • Individuals are more important than processes and tools; • Working software is more important than comprcomprehensive documentation; • Customer collaboration is more important than contract negotiation; • Responding to change is more important than following a plan (Abrahamsson et al. 2002). These principles are referred to as the 'Agile Manifesto'. There is no single agile development methodology. singleSome examples of agile approaches and methodologies that share many of these core values include:Extreme Programming (XP); Crystal Methods; AGILE; Dynamic Systems Development Method(DSDM); Feature Driven Development (FDD); and Adaptive Software Development (ASD) ven(Highsmith 2001, Sutherland 2001). Glass (2001) describes the debate between proponents of traditional development approaches andproponents of the newer agile approaches. However, neither approach is correct in all circ le circumstances, and the'best-fit' needs to be determined for a given circumstance. "There are no silver bullets in software development, dsand there probably never will be" (Jeffries 2001). Of all the agile methods, DSDM (DSDM 1998) comes 2001).closest to recommending an approach for determining whether a project is suitable for using an agiledevelopment method. DSDM recommends that the organization must have the right culture for using agileapproaches, but it is not specific about how one should go about measuring or evaluating this culture. aboutFurthermore, the steps in the feasibility study that follow this recommendation involve educating a keystakeholder, and producing a strategy and plan. Based on these recommendations, it appears that the choice has appearsalready been made to adopt DSDM, so it is not a decision whether to adopt an agile approach or not. Thedebate concerning agile methodologies has predominantly been based around whether it was abetter choice than tradition development methods (De Marco & Boehm 2002), rather than a debate on the onappropriateness of an agile approach for a given company, team, or project. 21
Computer Engineering and Intelligent Systems www.iiste.orgISSN 2222-1719 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2863 (Online) 2863Vol 3, No.8, 2012-Critical Factors for Adopting agile Critical Factors Description Reference Project Duration The project Timeframe should be short for an agile Highsmith (2001 project Kruchen (2001) Customer Customer involvement is vital for the success of a Beck and Fowler Involvements project (2001) Young (2003) Acceptance of Agile methods are specifically aimed at projects subject Highsmith (2001) change (to to continual change requirements) Team Size Agile methodologies emphasize the importance of Boehm (2002) teams, recommending smaller team sizes Rising and Janoff (2000) Skill level of team Highly skilled developers are required Reifer (2002) Levine et al.

Thesecritical factors have been chosen from the point of team's satisfaction. As the team is the most important part forsoftware development, TEAM shoul always come first. shouldProblem Statement: Many industries profoundly negative experiences with agile. Many other developers and :contractors think that AGILE is a scam.Heres some issues with AGILE: 1. Allowing customers to "change mind" means that the software development teams are expected to incur the cost of unlimited wants of consumers. If customers cannot express their needs, it is probably cannot distinguish between a "need" and a "want", but expect to pay the bill in the same way. Combined expect unlimited needs with limited resources are the classic problem of economy economy. 2. Some developers want to work in the area surrounded by cubes and glass, some developers want to listen to songs at work, some developers can take some rest in their work. But agile supports open space which is may turn into developer's dissatisfaction dissatisfaction. 3. Daily meeting (SCRUM: one of AGILE methodology) is a vital point. But maybe it is not always good for daily scrum. Daily scrum is a kind of micro-management. No always everybody willing to attend on management. daily scrum. Sometimes daily scrum become boring because not always everybody listen to everybody, as example somebody may work on UI design work and other is working on DB operations. So these 2 developers may not be interested to listen on other scrum. Rather sometimes developers feel that SCRUM meeting is a kind of cross-examination. examination.Methodology: This paper will show some improvements of core critical factors. This may bring lots of arguments :but further research can improve the existing improvements on the critical factors. This paper is proposing thefollowing changed critical factors below in Table 2: 22

Daily meeting can be team Lead or the whole team's choice.Table 2: Improvement on the Critical Adoption Factors of the Agile Methodology : Now this paper will show a Tool to assess the adoption rate of the Improved Agile (IA) and the CurrentAgile (CA). To develop this tool this paper considered the improved critical factors. In Table 3, this paper shownthe Matrix tool to adoption assess between IA and CA. After creating this Tool, this paper will show the data col collecting from a software Industry in UK. Aftercollecting the data, a simple algorithm will be used to find out the adoption rate of Improved Agile (IA) andCurrent Agile (CA).

Collecting data will be applied on the algorithm below to find out if the improved agile (IA) iseasier to adopt or the current agile (CA).Result: Software professional's satisfaction is important to secure high quality software development. Keepingthis thing in mind we contact software and web development company iBACS (http://www.ibacs.co.uk/) in UK (http://www.ibacs.co.uk/which has an offshore development center in Bangladesh. We make a survey among all the developers, designers centerand QA team members.

On the other hand, all the other professionshighly support the modified agile (IA). Since developer's satisfaction is highly required it is better to modify any developer'smethodology for the company specific professionals.Conclusion: This paper has described some problem found from the existing agile methodology and someimprovement factor of this method. Based on the developer's satisfaction we improved some of the criticalfactors of existing agile method, we surveyed on a company and published our result. Further study and surveycan improve other agile factors.References 1.

Kwagu'ł Hand-Carved Reel from PEETZJuly 27, 2015
PEETZ, in Victoria, British Columbia, has long produced mahogany and brass "Notingham" style reels for salmon and steelhead fishing. First made by Boris Peetz in 1925, even many of the early reels appear perfectly functional, despite being fished hard in salty Pacific Northwest waters. Recently, PEETZ introduced a three-inch diameter "starback" style fly reel. It looks like an excellent reel for minimalist fly fishers, like myself, who spend their time on smaller waters.Besides the fly reel, what has really caught my attention is PEETZ's new 5 inch Artist Series Handcarved Reel. The reel is their Evolution reel–a traditional "strapback" with bearings and an updated one-way drag system–featuring a hand-carved spool. The first 90 reels in this series are carved by Canadian First Nations artist Jason Henry Hunt. Hunt is a descendant of the Kwagu'ł First Nation on Northern Vancouver Island, BC. He is part of a family known for their traditional artistry. For instance, his grandfather was the acclaimed Mungo Martin. You can see Hunt's own stunning artwork at his Otter Bay Studio website. The theme of his carvings on the PEETZ reels is the "Circle of Life," depicting salmon and roe. I do not see myself giving up traditional fly fishing tackle for steelhead or salmon. That said, the 4 inch PEETZ "Classic" reel looks perfect for trolling with flies for trout, at the lake I fish. And the fly reel is very appealing.
While the large Artist Series reel is probably not in my future, I really commend PEETZ for promoting First Nations artwork. It is appropriate that they do so, since salmon are so integral to the cultures of Kwagu'ł and other Pacific Northwest indigenous peoples.
Importantly, PEETZ donates a portion of the sale for each reel to the Pacific Salmon Foundation, a Canadian fisheries conservation organization. The lack of water and unusually high temperatures are having a major impact on salmon in the Northwest. Two days ago, The Seattle Times reporter Hal Bernton described the overheated Lower Columbia River as a "kill zone" for salmon (July 25, 2015). This means that organizations such as the Pacific Salmon Foundation can use as much support as possible.
Following is a video of Hunt carving one of the PEETZ reels:
Other than fly fishing.July 20, 2015
The heat in the Inland Northwest has been brutal this summer, and it has made fishing on my home waters pretty challenging. The reason I like fly fishing, however, is the fact that it requires one's participation in the wider, non human world–the world that so many call "nature." And, of course, there is much more to nature than rising fish. For instance, huckleberry bushes surround our cabin and run up the mountain behind it. In fact, the bush pictured below is right next to the spot where I beach the canoe, between the lake and cabin. So, while my mood could be better, after having my fly snubbed by the local cutthroats, turning from the beached canoe toward hundreds of ripe huckleberries is a great consolation.
I describe fishing and berry picking at my cabin as a form of "participation" in the wider world because they both involve real, physical engagement with the living environment. This engagement blurs the lines between "nature" and myself, which is one of the reasons I try to avoid the former term. It is true that most Americans now live very anthrocentric lives, but, even in urban centers, distinguishing what is "natural" and what is not is a difficult task. Thinking similarly, the 19th century romantic, Henry David Thoreau, actually described huckleberry picking and eating as sort of socializing that takes place between humans and "nature" (see quote below). Traditional Native American friends, seeing the non-human world as a much more personal place than most of us, leave offerings to or attend ceremonies honoring the plants from which they take berries or other items. All of this explains why, for me, finding those berries upon returning from a fishless paddle around the lake is more meaningful than you might guess. And it doesn't hurt to get rid of those berries before the bears come looking for them.
Following, you can read Thoreau's thoughts on huckleberries:
"What means this profusion of berries at this season only? Nature does her best to feed her children, and the broods of birds just matured find plenty to eat now. Every bush and vine does its part and offers a wholesome and palatable diet to the wayfarer. He need not go out of the road to get as many berries as he wants, of various kinds and qualities according as his road leads him over high or low, wooded or open ground: huckleberries of different colors and flavors almost everywhere, the second kind of low blueberry largest in the moist ground, high blueberries with their agreeable acid when his way lies through a swamp, and low blackberries of two or more varieties on almost every sand plan and bank and stone heap.
"Man at length stands in such a relation to Nature as the animals which pluck and eat as they go. The fields and hills are a table constantly spread. Diet drinks, cordials, and wines of all kinds and qualities are bottled up in the skins of countless berries for the refreshment of animals, and they quaff them at every turn. They seem offered to us not so much for food as for sociality, inviting us to a picnic with Nature. We pluck and eat in remembrance of her. It is a sort of sacrament, a communion—the not forbidden fruits, which no serpent tempts us to eat. Slight and innocent savors which relate us to Nature, make us her guests, and entitle us to her regard and protection."

Pete Dexter and Norman MacleanJuly 8, 2015
A celebration of Norman Maclean's writings, "In the Footsteps of Norman Maclean: a Literary Festival," about which I have written previously, will take place this weekend in Seeley Lake, Montana. A few days ago, The Missoulian (Missoula, MT's mainstream newspaper), interviewed Pete Dexter, who wrote a well-respected profile on Maclean for Esquire in June, 1981. Dexter is among the many speakers who will be featured at the festival this weekend. You can find The Missoulian article here: Novelist Pete Dexter: Maclean put everything on the line with 'River'.
Hoot-Owl Restrictions UpdateJuly 6, 2015
I am sharing a post, below, from The Current Seam, the blog of the Crosscurrents Fly Shop in Craig and Helena, Montana. As the post indicates, the State of Montana began placing fishing restrictions on Montana's waterways on Friday, July 3 , due to the heat. The restrictions will likely increase. If you are planning on visiting Montana, pay close attention to the updates.
Potential visitors might also look for some lakes to fish (but know that some of these can get dangerously warm for trout, as well). While the current restrictions limit fishing time on my own favorite river, they don't affect fishing on the lake near which my sisters and I share a cabin. Thus, I, for one, will be doing lots of my fly fishing from a canoe, this summer.
Originally posted on The Current Seam:
Hot and wet, good when you're with a lady, bad if you're a fish. To state the obvious it's hot out there and with little relief in the forecast Montana F.W.P has issued Hoot-Owl Restrictions on several rivers in the state. Hoot-Owl restrictions mean no fishing from 2 p.m util midnight on effected waterways. Here's the complete list of rivers under fishing restrictions….

I'm sure the lake must have a name in the language of the Kootenai (Ktunaxa/Ksanka), upon whose historic territory it rests. The lake is just beyond the edge of a huge valley, through which the Big Blackfoot River runs. No doubt, it has names in other Indigenous languages too, as the path laid by the Blackfoot River was well travelled by Native Americans of several nations. In English, however, the lake is named for a long-passed miner, Charles Cooper.
I have no idea when the lake was given Cooper's name, though the area, still sparsely populated, was first settled permanently by whites around the same time that the Kootenai and others were being restricted to their shrinking reservations. In fact, the nearest town, Ovando, was named for a local settler who left his work at the Flathead Indian Reservation, after being spooked by the so-called "Nez Perce War" of 1877 (Margaret Ronan, Girl from the Gulches; The Story of Mary Ronan, 2003, 177), Incidentally, this was a war that the New York Times said was "on our part [the whites], … in its origin and motive nothing short of a gigantic blunder and a crime" ("A Lesson from the Nez Perces," Oct. 15, 1877).
I would like to know the name that the Kootenai gave to the lake. I will ask a speaker of the language about it someday, though I suspect the name is forgotten. As it is, I simply think of the lake as "home," for my sisters and I share a cabin there.
Norman Maclean Literary FestivalMay 29, 2015
This summer, there will be a celebration of Norman Maclean, author of A River Runs Through It and Other Stories, and his literary work. The celebration, "In the Footsteps of Norman Maclean, a Literary Festival," will take place in and around Seeley Lake. Montana, where the Maclean family still has a family cabin. Of course, this area is one of the settings in A River Runs Through It, along with the nearby Big Blackfoot River and the towns of Missoula and Helena.
The festival is sponsored by the Big Blackfoot Chapter of Trout Unlimited, Big Blackfoot Riverkeeper, the Clearwater Resource Council, the Seeley Lake Community Foundation, and the Seeley Lake Historical Society. It begins with an evening reception on July 10 and runs through July 14. There will be daily presentations at the well-known Double Arrow Ranch, and numerous activities related to Maclean's fishing and writing pursuits.
Seeley Lake is a beautiful community in the Seeley Swan Valley, between the Mission and Swan Mountains. It lies along Highway 83, in Missoula County. Because my sisters and I share a cabin in the area (about which I have written numerous times) and because it lies along the route to another family property in Glacier National Park, I have spent a fair amount of time there through the years. I recommend a visit, and there will be no better time for a contemplative angler to check out the area than during this festival. You can learn more at the festival website. And if you happen to attend, give me a shout.
Angling Gifts from MagyarországMay 25, 2015
While in Magyarország/Hungary, my wife and daughter and I took the ferry across the Danube River one morning to Visegrád to meet Ákos Szmutni. Ákos is the owner of Stickman Rods and the author of a beautiful hard-bound, Hungarian language instructional book on fly fishing. The 2009 text, which totals over 400 pages with color photos, is simply titled Legyező-Horgászat (Fly Fishing).
My wife and daughter drove up to the Cloud Castle above Visegrád, a favorite place to visit, while I spent time with my fellow angler. We cast several Stickman Rods and shared thoughts about fly fishing, Central Europe, and life. Afterward, Ákos kindly gave me a copy of his book. It is pictured below, with a benchmade Hungarian knife, some flies tied "in hand" by Hungarian fly fisher and friend Levente Kovács, and an Association of Hungarian Flyfishers Badge.
Call Us IshmaelMay 16, 2015
I write this post late at night, in a boat, at sea. The boat is my brother-in-law's. He, his sister–my wife, and all their family are from Central Europe. A love of of large waters and all things maritime runs in her family. In her father's house is proudly displayed an old, official document honoring her great grandfather, a sea captain, for rescuing an Imperial vessel in the Adriatic Sea. Her father, himself, built his own sailboat, after the collapse of Communism, and races it very successfully. And a few years ago, after deciding the Danube River was too small for him and/or his boat, her brother rented a slip in Croatia, and now captains his own boat on the Adriatic.Personally, I prefer mountains and clear running streams to massive rivers, lakes that cannot be seen across, and oceans or seas. And in many other ways, we inhabit the world rather differently, aside from the fact that we all love my wife and young daughter immensely. In fact, when visiting Central Europe, I now sometimes leave the family to go fly fishing for trout in Transylvania with Romanian friends. Or, I fish more locally for trout or asp with Hungarian friends.
During our current visit, my wife, and daughter, and I have joined my brother-in-law and his wife for a trip to Croatia and a few days on their boat. My in-laws, as usual, are kind and generous hosts, and it is amazing to see Dalmatia from the sea instead of from the road.As it happens, I have been reading Herman Melville's 1851 whaling epic Moby-Dick or, The Whale. I read the fist pages during my late-night train ride to Romania to fly fish, and I have continued to read the book after rejoining family. In those first pages, I came across a long passage of Melville's that has led me to recognize that I have another love in common with my in-laws, besides that for my wife and daughter. We all love water. Whether that water is small or large, running or still, sweet or saline, we love water. Indeed, in Melville's words, we see the "key to it all" in "rivers and oceans." Following is that long passage containing those words.
Here is an artist. He desires to paint you the dreamiest, shadiest, quietest, most enchanting bit of romantic landscape in all the valley of the Saco. What is the chief element he employs? There stand his trees, each with a hollow trunk, as if a hermit and a crucifix were within; and here sleeps his meadow, and there sleep his cattle; and up from yonder cottage goes a sleepy smoke. Deep into distant woodlands winds a mazy way, reaching to overlapping spurs of mountains bathed in their hill- side blue. But though the picture lies thus tranced, and though this pine- tree shakes down its sighs like leaves upon this shepherd's head, yet all were vain, unless the shepherd's eye were fixed upon the magic stream before him. Go visit the Prairies in June, when for scores on scores of miles you wade knee- deep among Tiger- lilies— what is the one charm wanting?— Water there is not a drop of water there! Were Niagara but a cataract of sand, would you travel your thousand miles to see it? Why did the poor poet of Tennessee, upon suddenly receiving two handfuls of silver, deliberate whether to buy him a coat, which he sadly needed, or invest his money in a pedestrian trip to Rockaway Beach? Why is almost every robust healthy boy with a robust healthy soul in him, at some time or other crazy to go to sea? Why upon your first voyage as a passenger, did you yourself feel such a mystical vibration, when first told that you and your ship were now out of sight of land? Why did the old Persians hold the sea holy? Why did the Greeks give it a separate deity, and own brother of Jove? Surely all this is not without meaning. And still deeper the meaning of that story of Narcissus, who because he could not grasp the tormenting, mild image he saw in the fountain, plunged into it and was drowned. But that same image, we ourselves see in all rivers and oceans. It is the image of the ungraspable phantom of life; and this is the key to it all.
1st International Trout CongressApril 27, 2015
A friend alerted me to a very interesting conference taking place this summer. It will bring together scientific and cultural perspectives upon trout, and it will seek to unite those who have these perspectives to form an established "congress." The conference is titled The World of Trout. The conference website states, "As a congress, the aim is to assemble an international body for a series of structured lectures and discussions on the relationship between trout and humans." It also says, "As a celebration, it seeks to infuse the congress with art, literature, angling lore, and special events that promise to make the event both instructional and entertaining." Perhaps I will see some of you there.
UPDATE: The Trout Congress has been postponed for one year. You can find details at the congress website. Please consider attending in 2016.

I bought these ottomans to go with a pair of Christopher Knight White Leather chairs, and these ottomans as fabulous as they are, are NOT true white they are more a winter white with a touch of pearl. My living room will have so much going on it won't matter, but if you want a TRUE white ottoman just letting you know. The quality and ease of putting together was outstanding. I highly recommend these for your feet or as extra seating.

this ottoman is very functional, but do not anticipate a fabric that looks like real cowhide. its more of a polyester. soft though

I was looking for a large ottoman to replace a trunk that I was using as a coffee table. The trunk was too high to put your feet on so I thought something lower and cushioned would do the trick. I always research and shop around extensively. I finally settled on this ottoman but wasn't sure of the color. My couch is a white with grey hue to it...this ottoman is described as beige, but does have a grey tint to it. Honestly, I think it's one of those materials that will fit in and take on the hue that it's surrounded by. Set up was a whopping 5 minutes from box to living room. it's a little larger than I initially thought, but it works wonderful. I put a large tray on it for glasses and the remotes and BAM, we're in business. Super happy with this purchase! Material appears quite durable too. I did spray some scotch guard on it, just in case.

I purchased this ottoman to match the Grey/White Chevron Slipper chair also from Overstock and it's a perfect match. The ottoman is solidly made, and looks great.

Returned because colour was not as stated. Brown and cream not b&w. Also the fabric despite the answer from overstock is not suede. Just take sued out of the description and stop confusing people. If the colour works for you the ottoman was fine.

I am very pleased with the ottoman. It is serving it's purpose. I feel that I got a good product for what I paid for it. The color is not a true white but I would classify it as off-white. I did not put the legs on as it would have made it the same height as the sofa and I wanted an ottoman that was lower than the sofa. Overall I am pleased with my purchase.

This ottoman was just as described, a nice dark grey with white script. Easy to put together. I can fit in 3-4 blankets in it easily. Comfortable to sit on, and the size was just right as a piano bench.

The stools fit perfectly for my needs. The white color is not a stark white more on the off white side which suits our decor better, I am using the stools as ottomans in front of my lounging chairs. Like the look. I have just revceived the stools so have not had enough time to see if the quality will not last. At this time the product looks good and am quite satisfied.

The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit recently revisited the issue of the Copyright Law preemption of trade secrets claims in Spear Marketing, Inc. v. Bancorpsouth Bank. The decision not only resolved the scope of Copyright Law preemption in the Fifth Circuit, but also made clear that the Fifth Circuit "join[s] the majority position" to hold that state law claims based on ideas fixed in tangible media are preempted by §301(a). The decision creates greater clarity and uniformity in Copyright Law preemption and should help litigants avoid wasting resources by filing actions based on state law claims that are preempted.

500,000 Lines of Source Code: The New "Intangible Property"
Sergey Aleynikov's six-year trade secret odyssey through all possible configurations of litigation, civil and criminal, federal and state, may at long last have come to an end after the New York Supreme Court recently overturned his only surviving criminal conviction for unlawful use of secret scientific material. We here at Trade Secrets Watch have closely tracked Aleynikov's journey, recently reporting on his newest victory, and previously covering his convoluted trials and tribulations. In particular, prior to the recent New York Supreme Court decision, the Second Circuit overturned Aleynikov's convictions under the Economic Espionage Act (EEA) and the National Stolen Property Act (NSPA), which also led to a change in the EEA legislation.

Hacking Your Rivals – Corporate Espionage in Major League Baseball
As we approach the dog days of summer, baseball season is again in full bloom. We previously discussed old-fashioned sign stealing in the context of teams trying to gain a competitive advantage during an actual game. But it appears these hijinks have evolved in today's electronic world. As the New York Times first reported, the FBI and Department of Justice prosecutors are investigating front-office personnel for the St. Louis Cardinals, one of Major League Baseball's most beloved franchises, for allegedly infiltrating the internal network of the Houston Astros.

Flash Boy's Conviction Thrown Out—Again
In a stunning victory for the former Goldman Sachs programmer, New York State Justice Daniel Conviser threw out Sergey Aleynikov's jury conviction on state law charges that he stole intellectual property from Goldman. Trade Secrets Watch has extensively covered this story, most recently reporting the start of Aleynikov's new trial, but missing out on a (later-dismissed) juror's tale of an errant avocado. Read More
Texas Federal Court: Copyright Law Doesn't Preempt Trade Secrets Claim Where "Extra" Elements Exist
We've blogged on trade secret preemption before (here and here, for instance), but we've usually focused on trade secrets claims preempting other types of claims, and not the other way around.
But, as the cowboy in the cult-classic film The Big Lebowski noted, "Sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes, well, he eats you." So, this time, we are discussing a recent case that involved the question of when trade secret claims are preempted by Copyright Law. Read More
One Step Closer: European Parliament Legal Affairs Committee Approves Trade Secret Directive
As Trade Secrets Watch has previously reported, new rules regarding the protection of trade secrets are on the horizon for the European Union. In November 2013, the European Commission announced a proposed Directive on trade secrets and confidential information. Around six months later, in May 2014, the Council of the European Union agreed on a revised draft Directive. Reception of the Trade Secrets Directive has been mixed. Read More
For Here or To Go? Senators Introduce Bill to Ban Noncompete Agreements, Increase Mobility For Sandwich Makers and Other Low-Wage Workers
Congress is getting into the non-compete business. Citing the use of non-compete agreements by companies such as Jimmy John's sandwich shops, Senate Democrats recently introduced a bill—called the Mobility and Opportunity for Vulnerable Employees (MOVE) Act—that would amend the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to prohibit the use of non-compete agreements for low-wage employees.

Securing your Network: Claiming Contacts as Trade Secrets
The paradigmatic trade secret is something that is obviously technical, such as source code or the formula for Coke. Though trade secrets protection is not limited to technical trade secrets, it can sometimes be tricky to claim trade secrecy over non-technical trade secrets, such as customer or employee contact lists, that are commercially valuable yet may seem more accessible and therefore less secret. California Code of Civil Procedure Section 2019.210 compounds the issue by requiring a plaintiff to make a detailed disclosure of trade secrets as a precondition to frame the discovery to come. Section 2019.210 therefore immediately places an often-challenging decision upon the plaintiff—selecting what it should claim as trade secrets in litigation. Read More
The New Space Race: Protecting Trade Secrets on the Final Frontier
Space: The final frontier. For millennia, people have wanted to explore the great unknown of outer space, and series like Star Trek and Star Wars continue to our fuel our fantasies about what lies beyond our stratosphere. This fascination, as well as countries' desires to maintain their military prowess, led to the First Space Race after World War II. Today, while NASA's dominance may have fizzled out, private companies have embarked on a commercialized space race to gain market dominance from their designs. Indeed, the House of Representatives recently passed the SPACE Act to enable commercial space mining activities. Read More
Fighting Back: Identifying Risks Posed by an Angry Current or Former Employee
Something lost is always in the last place you look (by definition). It can also sometimes be in the first.
Although technology has made it possible for outsiders to manipulate and infiltrate your company's systems and obtain confidential and trade secret information in novel and subtle ways, a lingering, persistent threat to a company's confidential information and trade secret comes from unhappy employees, both during the time of their employ and after separation.

Slain Latino Journalist Rubén Salazar, Killed 40 Years Ago in Police Attack, Remembered as Champion of Chicano Rights
Rubén Salazar was one of the most well-known Latino journalists of the twentieth century and one of the few journalists killed while reporting in the United States. This Sunday marked the fortieth anniversary of his death. He was killed on August 29th, 1970, when he was struck in the head by a tear gas projectile fired by a sheriff's deputy into an East Los Angeles bar as he was covering the massive National Chicano Moratorium Against the Vietnam War, a massive antiwar march that drew some 30,000 people to LA's Eastside. For forty years, speculation and controversy have swirled around what happened. We remember the life and legacy of Salazar and the Chicano Moratorium. [includes rush transcript]

On 2008's Broken Grid, his first album under the group name Solar Fake, German synthesizer player and singer Sven Friedrich covered Radiohead's "Creep," one indication of his musical taste. A more telling one comes with the cover he's chosen for the second Solar Fake album, Frontiers, a version of Talk Talk's 1984 hit "Such a Shame." Friedrich's all-synthesizer dance-rock sound is very much rooted in '80s antecedents, including not only Talk Talk, but also, and especially, Depeche Mode, who are evoked in the opening song, "Under the Skies." Friedrich sings in a groaning baritone had can suggest Dave Gahan when it isn't recalling David Bowie's more portentous pronouncements in a similar British accent. Friedrich also can be a bit more supple, and when he is, for instance in "No Apologies," he evokes New Order. His music ranges from more pop-oriented tunes like "More Than This" (which has a Giorgio Moroder-like dance feel, as if Donna Summer was about to break into song) to industrial beats and distorted, raging vocals, as in "Why Did I Raise the Fire" and "Until I'm Back." Actually, the angrier tone is more in keeping with the lyrics, which tend toward the melodramatically despairing. In both "Where Are You" and "Pain Goes By," Friedrich uses the image of sand running through his fingers, and throughout there is a sense of helplessness as well as hopelessness. But he manages to come in from the ledge at the end on the ballad "The Line of Sight," in which his love for a significant other makes him declare that they will be able to overcome the adversity he has spent the rest of the record making seem insurmountable. Even after the apocalypse, it seems, love conquers all. Meanwhile, Frontiers provides a means of dancing all the way to doomsday and beyond.
