The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Millenium Trilogy Movie Rights Go to Sony, Rudin – Thompson on Hollywood
On a recent trip to London, I picked up a copy of the U.K. hardcover edition of the third installment of the late Swedish author Stieg Larsson's Millenium Trilogy, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, and have been lending it to my friends ever since. (It won't be published stateside until May.) The three books are addictive, globally popular (they have sold more than 20 million copies), and have spawned a Swedish film trilogy that is also scoring at the worldwide box office. The subtitled The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo arrives stateside via Music Box on March 19. (A trailer is on the jump.)
Naturally, Hollywood is keenly interested in an English-language remake. Complex negotiations have been under way since last summer. The rights are no longer bogged down by issues surrounding the contested estate of the late author, who died of a sudden heart attack in 2004 just before the publication of the first novel. Under frequent death threats for his investigative journalism, he tried to protect his common law wife by not marrying her. But he never left a will. Eva Gabrielsson, who has no rights under Swedish law, has been hanging on to his laptop and its contents, which could hold the seeds for more sequels. But she doesn't own those rights.
The existence of the Swedish film trilogy complicates matters, but closing the complicated deal is mainly about getting rights sorted. A Millenium Trilogy movie deal at Sony Pictures is expected to be announced shortly with producer Scott Rudin and writer Steve Zaillian. Rumors swirl of interest from the likes of Quentin Tarantino (denied by his agent) and George Clooney, who seems like perfect casting for muckraking journalist womanizer Mikael Blomkvist.
Who should play Blomkvist and his sidekick, bisexual tattooed hacker detective Lisbeth Salander, one of the great ass-kicking heroines of modern fiction?

F1 2012 Monaco Grand Prix qualifying: Hamilton favourite
LEWIS Hamilton is favourite for the 2012 Monaco Grand Prix – the jewel in Formula 1's crown – ahead of qualifying in Monte Carlo.
"It's an incredibly tough circuit, very technical, so every little scrap of information helps you understand where to go with the set-up."
The 27-year-old Vodafone McLaren Mercedes racer from Hertfordshire goes in qualifying around the famous street circuit on Saturday.
Hamilton, the 2008 F1 world champion now based in Monaco, has set the quickest time in qualifying three times this season, although he was stripped of pole position at the Spanish GP in Barcelona a fortnight ago.
Securing a front row grid position is particularly important in the Principality due to the tight and twisty nature of the Circuit de Monaco.
The Lotus cars of Romain Grosjean and Kimi Raikkonen were 11/1 to qualify fastest, but have both come in to 17/2 with Hills after a number of three figure bets.
Hamilton is 15/8 to start on pole, with Ferrari's Fernando Alonso 11/2 and Red Bull racer Sebastian Vettel 13/2.
Herts-born Hamilton is the 3/1 favourite to win the race in Monaco, while Alonso has been well backed at 9/2 to come up trumps in Monte Carlo.
Hamilton was fourth quickest in first practice on Thursday and then 11th in a rain-hit afternoon session.
He'll be looking to get some good running in during final practice on Saturday morning.
"It's an incredibly tough circuit, very technical, so every little scrap of information helps you understand where to go with the set-up," said Hamilton.
McLaren teammate Jenson Button, winner in Monaco in 2009, was fastest in Thursday's second free practice session.
"I definitely feel like the car improved from P1 to P2," said Button afterwards.
"We tried something different for this afternoon's session and I was happier with how the car felt.
"There's still room for improvement, but we know what direction we want to take."
Speaking after practice, McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh said: "I think we're yet to see what either Jenson or Lewis can achieve when they push the car to its fullest extent around here, but I know that both our drivers relish the challenge of this circuit and that they'll hit the ground running again on Saturday.
"At the moment, the sharp end of the grid looks extremely close – and it'll be all to play for in what's likely to be an absolutely thrilling qualifying session. Bring it on!"

Katwende Women's Group
Aidah's enrollment in the group was a result of a series of hardships she had undergone as a semi-illiterate business person, among which was starting multiple businesses which would close in less than a year. This frustrated all her efforts, and she decided to sit at home as a housewife for over two years. Later on, she almost lost her firstborn to malaria, due to lack of money to take her to the hospital, hadn't it been for a friend from said group who gave her money.
Aidah joined the group, which she says taught her how to run a business in addition to providing seed capital of Sh.(UGX) 50,000 to start a roadside fruit grocery. Aidah says that her allegiance to the group earned her a wealth of knowledge. This included sourcing for organic fruits, which are highly demanded, making crafts, crocheting and growing vegetables.
This greatly changed her life, as she now has multiple sources of income with a steady funding source from the group to enable her to manage her home business and meet the needs of her family, even in times when her husband is jobless.The eleventh member in the group photo did not want credit this cycle, however she is saving with the group and also signed the waiver form.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of UGAFODE's program for clients who live in isolated rural areas with limited access to financial services. Uniquely, UGAFODE focuses its efforts on agricultural areas in Uganda that are over 50 km from their branches, providing loans to both groups and individual borrowers. The organization believes that the risk of offering services to remote clients is outweighed by the benefits to customers and their often underserved communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

NFL | Arian Foster a month away from usual form
Thu, 26 May 2016 10:17:42 -0700
Free-agent RB Arian Foster (Achilles') said he would need about a month to get to where he needs to be physically. "I probably need another month to get where I am, the person everyone is used to seeing," Foster said. "I can definitely play but I need another month to be where I want to be and be at that pro-bowl level I can be at."
Fantasy Tip: Foster turns 30 this season, and it's pretty far-fetched to imagine him carrying the load like he used to in the running and passing game. He'll land in a spot to utilize both in smaller samples, and he'll be an RB3 consideration in fantasy drafts.

Former Miami Dolphins RB Knowshon Moreno (knee) plans to return to NFL action in 2016.
Fantasy Tip: It's unclear at this point what kind of shape Moreno is in after missing all of the 2015 season with knee issues. Even if he is signed and plays in this season, it's unlikely that he'll make much of a fantasy impact.

NFL | Ryan Fitzpatrick not retiring
Mon, 23 May 2016 09:48:24 -0700
Free-agent QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (Jets) dispelled rumors that he was considering retirement Monday, May 23. "I'm playing," Fitzpatrick said. "I'm playing football next year."
Fantasy Tip: The Jets and Fitz remain in a stalemate in terms of re-signing a contract. There remains a chance that the two sides can find common ground in order to get Fitzpatrick signed before training camp begins. Fitz had a revival last year with Gang Green, and the best spot for his fantasy value would be to remain in New York. If he re-signs, he's a fringe fantasy starter as a low-end QB1.

NFL | Arian Foster close to passing physical
Sat, 21 May 2016 19:32:11 -0700
Free-agent RB Arian Foster (Achilles') expects to pass his physical in the next couple of weeks, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
Fantasy Tip: It remains to be seen where the veteran back will land, but he is certainly worth picking up in the later rounds of drafts.

NFL | Arian Foster on the mend
Fri, 20 May 2016 06:07:58 -0700
Free-agent RB Arian Foster (Achilles') is about a week or two away from being able to pass a physical, and his market should begin to heat up then.
Fantasy Tip: Foster will be 30 in August and is coming off two significant injuries in consecutive seasons. He could still latch on to lead a committee approach, but he's merely an RB3 in fantasy for now.

Basically I'm working up a site that builds in a posting form on a page. (Yes, I've tried TDO mini forms and I really need some more flexibility before and after the form than it offers). If you need a visual, think of the Prologue theme posting box with more info added.
While I can get the rest of the form working, I'm totally getting lost in the php to get the categories working. It should function like it does on the backend with checkboxes. Populating and creating the checkbox list isn't the problem, it's looping through, converting to the id's, and figuring out how to format that into an array to send to wp_insert_post is where I'm getting caught up.
I've got everything else working... titles, tags, custom fields, etc... just can't get the cats right for some reason. I think I've hit the braindead stage and need to get some outside input.

Dispute erupts over brush-clearing plan
An ambitious statewide push for more brush clearing to prevent wildfires has ignited considerable controversy in San Diego County over the proposed mix of strategies that include prescribed burns and applying herbicides.
Supporters say clearing is the best approach to save homes and property from destructive wildfires, such as the 2003 and 2007 infernos that engulfed much of the San Diego region.
Critics counter that too much clearing — and using the wrong methods — threaten irreparable harm to the environment and could actually fuel bigger fires if more flammable invasive weeds and brush take root.
"It really looks like they're going to spend a tremendous amount of money and cause a lot of destruction doing it," said opponent Frank Landis, a botanist with the San Diego County chapter of the California Native Plant Society.
The source of the protests is a proposed 1,300-page Environmental Impact Report that details the potential effects of the state's brush-clearing efforts for decades to come.
"You have to have vegetation management. Why? Because the population is growing," said George Gentry, executive officer of the California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection.
"People have to expect one of two things," he continued. "They're going to have to expect a large-scale fire that San Diego has already seen or they're going to have to accept some form of treatment to help mitigate those large-scale fires. That's the choices we're basically faced with."
The EIR has intensified the ongoing clash over how to clear and just how much to take out — whether it's in the forest, on chaparral-dotted hillsides or close to urban development.
The state's strategies include: prescribed burns, using sheep and goats to control weeds, mechanical thinning, sending out California Conservation Corps hand crews and, in some cases, spraying herbicides after the initial clearing.
But the California Chaparral Institute and Native Plant Society, as well as the state Sierra Club and others, say Cal Fire's plan overemphasizes clearing that could pose dangers to wildlife, homes and people.
"They've got to get away from this vegetation treatment myopia," said Rick Halsey, director of the Escondido-based Chaparral Institute.
Alternatives and impacts
Halsey, Landis and others are urging the state to concentrate on better land use planning: defensible space, stricter fire-safe building codes and full funding of fire crews, for example.
The state's proposal covers about 38 million acres, more than triple the size of the current vegetation management program. However, not all of those acres would be affected. The state estimates slightly more than 2 million acres would need to be cleared every decade. That is five times more than the current 470,000 acres.
The draft EIR also lists a "known areas of controversy." Those include: impacts on air quality and public health from burning, the use of herbicides, possible effects on water quality, the spread of invasive plans and possible property damage if crews lose control of a prescribed fire. About half of the brush threatening to act as a fuel would be burned off, according to the report.
The comment period on the EIR closes Monday. But the public will still be able to weigh in when the state Board of Forestry and Fire Protection meets this summer to certify the EIR, Gentry said.
A link to the EIR can be found at:
www.fire.ca.gov. Comments can be emailed to: email@example.com.
The forestry board will be under pressure to act swiftly. The Southern California wildfire season, along with the notorious Santa Ana winds, will be fast approaching. The National Interagency Fire Center has already issued warnings that the "significant fire potential will increase to above normal" with the state mired in a second-straight dry year.

Cibo Matto at the Turf Club, 3/4/14

Cibo Matto and Buffalo Daughter
Turf Club, St. Paul
Tuesday, March 4, 2014
It may have been an especially cold night in St. Paul, but a '90s revival was full steam. Surprisingly full on a chilly Tuesday, the Turf Club played host to darlings of the era Cibo Matto. While their music never really went mainstream, the duo has gained a large and loyal cult following through the years -- all of whom were present for the highly anticipated sold-out show.

Cibo Matto's Miho Hatori: We will definitely do more albums in the future
Having literally just arrived after a 12-hour flight, Japan's Buffalo Daughter began their stint as openers for the final week of the tour and miraculously delivered a refreshing and satisfying opening set. Brandishing their futuristic melange of progressive synth-rock and minimalist electronic sound, the band sprung forth with a heavy kraut-rock style.

Submerged in keyboardist Yumiko Ohno and guitarist SuGar Yoshinoga's constant arpeggios, Buffalo Daughter took the eager crowd for a ride through a varied sampling of their 20-year catalog. Encompassing droning repetition with funkified keyboard, Ohno led the band with her faint vocals and a warm sound against the welcoming rhythms.
"Do you know the TV show Domo?" asked Yoshinogo after a particularily long psychedelic workout. "We made theme songs for our favorite cartoon, Domo. We will play it and show you on the screen!"
While the audience turned towards the wall, the band revved up the song as a screen lit up with the popular and cute little razor-toothed creature playing in a park, swimming and playing baseball with a team of cats. Inspiring grins and pogo-ing from the audience the band would eventually return to an extended piece that felt more like a soundtrack to a science fiction film. High-frequency Moog patches, dynamic guitar lines and thunderous bass drum provided the perfect palette for additional sound effects from a turntable from Buffalo Daughter's third founding member, Moog Yamamoto. It was the perfect primer for the rest of the evening and encouraging to see the now-legendary band still in motion with even grander, illuminating sound experiments.
The audience pushed forward with anticipation and the heat went up as lead singer Miho Hatori and Yuka Honda of Cibo Matto politely took over the evening's musical proceedings.

With a brief, "Hey, What's up?" and Honda's push of a button the two were greeted with a roar from the crowd as the instantly recognizable, "Sugar Water" set things in motion. The solid groove not only allowed for Hatori to get comfortable and warm up her voice but gave the audience an feeling of immediacy from the signature song.
Not fooling around, Cibo Matto kept the dance party moving as bubbling keyboards and sharp hip-hop dance rhythms of "Beef Jerky" continued a string from the band's '96 debut, Viva! La Woman. Deliciously nostalgic, fans old and new couldn't resist, cheerfully singing along with Hatori, "Who cares? I don't care? A horse's ass is better than yours!"
"When was the last time we were here?" asked Hatori a bit sheepishly. "We promise we will come back again much sooner next time. Like in a few months, maybe. How's that?"
As if the 15 years since their last visit to the Twin Cities hadn't passed, Cibo Matto continued on with perhaps their best dance track, "Spoon" off Stereo*Type-A from '99. Elevated mid-song by a drummer and bass player who joined the two, the rhythm section helped amplify the fever and good energy in the room with a continuous funky groove.
The acid-jazz vibe from Cibo Matto morphed into dub with a new track, "Check In" from the brand new Valentine Hotel only to return to Stereo*Type-A for a couple more. The lovely "Moonchild" gave space for a wonderful dollop of Hatori's high-pitched, yet soulful voice with each chorus.
Returning to new material, Cibo Matto may have lost a bit of momentum with the lesser-known songs that often veered into greater heights with spacier sounds and electronic effects on one another's voice. But the delightful new music and critically arranged concept of the songs was appreciated and peaked with the band's latest single, "MFN."
Photos by Erik Hess
"That's our Mother Fucking Nature," Hatori explained the song in her Tretorn shoes, shades that never left her face, and a thugged-out workshirt. Continuing on with a couple more from Hotel Valentine she'd ultimately didn't look so tough as she'd complain, "So, it's really fucking cold here, huh? We are definitely going to come back in the summertime. We can't have this."
Returning for the dubby "Housekeeping," the two pulled out all the stops for the song that started it all for Cibo Matto, "Birthday Cake." For the somewhat aggressive take of the song, the entire room was bouncing about, singing the ridiculous lyrics and cementing silly smiles all the way back to the front door of the club. It was the perfect exclamation point from the timeless duo who've demonstrated they've hit the ground running upon returning to the stage all these years later.
Critic's Bias: Huge fan since day one.
The Crowd: A mixture of old and new fans. For every "I remember seeing them..." I heard there was a "I've been waiting forever to see them!"
Overheard in the Crowd: "They forgot 'Know Your Chicken', I want to know my chicken!!"
Random Notebook Dump: I always thought Cibo Matto represented a technological and cultural future in music that seems to have come full circle with their reunion. As music has grown more compact, it's easy to forget there was a time that a duo with little more than some keyboards, a sampler and an astute presence was a rare, unique thing.

AZORES – These volcanic peaks appear directly in the path of winter low pressures and scoop the swell onto lava slabs, basalt boulders and black sand beaches. Isolated by 1600kms of Atlantic from Portugal and often encircled by the Azores High pressure system, winds are unpredictable and swells comes from a multitude of directions. A small population of cool locals patrol the main line-ups, but there is plenty of scope for discovery, making the Azores a mysterious, hardcore destination for adventurous surf-trippers.

Details below, but now, it's a two-hour playlist filled to the max with 'The Music of Ivan Lins' on The Sounds of Brail, and I think you'll enjoy what's in store on our streaming station…
This Week On Brazil Back2Back: Wednesday (27), it's a pair of songs form our New Music playlist, including The Sounds of Brazil's debut of Ivan Lins' new samba 'Luxo do Lixo". Friday (29) features guitarist Ricardo Silviera and Monday (1) has two tunes from Vanessa da Matta! Listen at the top of the hour at 11 am and again at 2 pm Central.

~ ~ ~
This week's show:
My Producer's Notes
Listen to The Sounds of Brazil every three hours beginning at 6am Central Time daily.
I'll never forget the first time I heard Ivan Lins' voice. It came by way of a single song, soon after the release of 'Harlequin' in 1985. Although the song was his, the album was a joint project between guitarist Lee Ritenour and pianist Dave Grusin and I recall that the first minute or so left me completely overwhelmed: so much passion and power and beauty. How could all of this course straight through me, without even a moment to absorb what it all meant?
You can judge for yourself: I'll play that very song in our second hour.
It was on that day that I learned about the essence of Brazilian music, and Ivan Lins proved to be a great teacher. He's written a Grammy winner for Quincy Jones and penned hits for Elis Regina, George Benson, Brenda Russell, Peter White and many others. He made his home in Boston and Los Angeles for a long while. In fact, his story as one of Brazil's greatest songwriters is infused with our own American culture – to such a degree that it sets him apart from many of his peers back home in Brazil.
Early influences? How about Blood, Sweat & Tears' lead singer David Clayton Thomas? Lins emulated the top 40 singer's voice while on the path to finding his own signature style – plaintive, soulful. The essence of emotion.
Ivan Lins is a perennial favorite with our coast to coast audience and we'll take two full hours to explore his music as we get a head start on next month's 'Singers & Songwriters' theme, with 'Ivan Songs' from Luiz Avellar, Mike Metheny, sax great Grover Washington, Jr., Lee Ritenour, Chaka Khan and Barbra Streisand, too.
Plus two duets anchored by Ivan Lins: going acoustic with Oscar Castro-Neves and then 80′s MPB with Djavan, in a playlist that includes music from German trumpeter Till Brönner, Caibedo Island plus a New Bossa request for Brazilian Jumble.
Among the non-English-speaking nations of the world, Brazil enjoys a rare and vibrant cultural connection with America that is not merely the product of Embassies and trade relations. Stories like Ivan Lins' remind us of the power of one-to-one, which expands to amplify both the commonality and the distinctiveness of each nation. In fact, it plays its part in what makes both of our countries magnificent.
A cool breeze in Summer, and a warm wind when the weather turns cold – that's The Sounds of Brazil!

"I turned this design into a thank you card for my daughter's 1st birthday. She happens to really enjoy cars. Super cute and colorful!"
"Great Card. Some were sent to me and the rest mailed direct to my invitees. Those that came to me were a week earlier than those to the invite list. I used this feature to save time and it took almost a week longer."
"I picked this card because I thought the graphics were best for a 5 year olds party. The text spacing was limited but the customer service department was excellent at warning me of issues and correcting my mistake. I was surprised that it was so small (I had envisioned a larger card) and I would have liked to put a little text on the back. But, it'll be a fine invite for this party!"
"The invitations were beautifully made!!! The customer service representative was VERY polite and answered any and all questions I had regarding my order..they arrived right on time and we LOVED them!!!!"
"Used for my daughters first bday party invites. Very nice quality. A touch smaller in size than I'd imagined, but should have read the details more closely. overall, great purchase."

Customer Reviews
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMarch 13, 2010Reviewer: Brian in CaliforniaIn a word: Amazing. I was a huge fan of the original Lipo 6 - and had never encountered anything better. When I went back to purchase I was excited to try an IMPROVED version.
It's hard to compare the two since I've made other changes to my routine / intensity. I will say that as I cycled onto this stuff but kept my routine the same its performance was at least on par, if not better (my results were phenomenal but I'm in the gym almost 3x more than when I took Lipo 6 regular)
Anyway, this stuff won't disappoint.
May 02, 2011Reviewer: Christopher in MaineOne that actually works! Unlike regular Lipo-6, you know when you're taking the Black. Start in easy, though. Much stronger than most supplements of this kind, IME.

So much hate for Lyra
Well let's see what I like about the two.
Kris has blue hair but Lyra has a puffy hat. Kris has a nice jacket and Lyra wears overalls. Kris looks all pumped up for battle but Lyra has a puffy hat. Kris promotes short shorts but Lyra has a puffy hat.
I'm sorry Kris fans but I have to go with the puffy hat even if she did keep lying to me on the phone about her Marill evolving.

(As of 1. Sep 2013 you can use wow.bplaced.net/archangel as well, which is a redirect to the link above.)
This link leads you to a visual sheet displaying the progression on the Archangel server. In the header of the sheet you see the date and time of the latest update.
This is not a discussion topic.
This topic is simply for submitting boss kill screenshots, meaning any kind of other content is unwanted. This includes congratulation posts - this kind of posting has no use in this topic and you are asked to use the private messages, any other topic or in-game chat to send your congratulations.
How to submit a boss kill:
- You have to post in this topic. PMs or eMails are no longer accepted!
- Include your guild's name, country/region and faction, i. e.: <Name of my Guild> EU/US/RUS/GER/SWE/... (Alliance/Horde) or A/H
- If your guild has a website, you can include it as well. Your guild record on the progress website will then link to this website.
- A screenshot with a reasonable resolution and quality (!) is required.
- The screenshot has to display the corpse of the killed boss (ideally with the name above the corpse) or has to be targeted, dead and visible in any unit frame.
- Do not post videos, I won't take any of my time to watch them. If you only have the video as proof, make a printscreen from the video - this printscreen needs to have a decent quality as well.
- The screenshot is enough - there is no need for comments that might incite a flame war. Deal with your interguild drama either in-game or in other topics.
What bosses are being tracked: Lady Vashj in Serpentshrine Cavern, Kael'thas in Tempest Keep, any boss in Battle for Mount Hyjal and Black Temple.
Who is updating the content: Bill Nye, JKN (inactive)
The progession website also features a Twitch.tv-streamers' portal.
Streamers can PM me their Twitch-ID or whisper / mail me in-game (Shutterfly Alliance).
In order for your stream to be displayed, it has to be online and the game has to be set to World of Warcraft (the expansion you select doesn't matter).
Please note: Only send me your ID if you solely stream WoW while you either play on Wow-one servers or on retail and never on any other private projects. Channels that are tagged as WoW and stream from another server than Wow-one project or retail will be taken off the list.
Time and date of kill are time and date of submission! All times on the website are expressed in server time.
Make sure that you have read all policies for how to submit a boss kill!
If your request is denied then it's because of a certain reason and is not to be debated!

A Parallel Path for VMware?Cloud Computing, Cloud Foundry, KVM, Open vSwitch, OpenStack, Public Cloud, SDN, VMware
[Dislosure: While my employer, EMC, is a majority stakeholder in VMware, I have no insight into VMware's long-term strategic direction. That's way above my pay grade. All information contained in this blog is based on publicly available information – sometimes you just got to know where to look.]
Evolution, transformation, disruption. Regardless of what segment of the IT industry you follow, these buzzwords are dominating the conversation. And a common thread is that all "legacy" (read: "existing") vendors and technology will struggle with these transitions. But what happens when vendors actively invest in technology and expertise that run in parallel to those disruptions? Isn't that the classic playbook from The Innovator's Dilemma?
We all know that VMware took a bold step away from their traditional business when they launched the VMware vCloud Hybrid Service (vCHS), offering an alternative way for companies to consume IT resources from the cloud – instead of within their own data centers. They became a Cloud Service Provider, beginning to disrupt the ecosystem that had been built up around their hypervisor business. It allowed them to leverage their existing technology and installed base to expand into a different segment of the IT market. With vCHS, they not only offered on-demand IaaS services, but also Desktop-as-a-Service, DR-as-a-Service and many other services on the roadmap.
But what about the technologies that didn't have VMware's logo on them? Continued »
The Gap between Software-Defined and Developer-AdoptedAPI, Cisco, Code, Developer, DevOps, EMC
Software, software, software….
It's hard to go anywhere in tech these days without someone highlighting the virtues of software. Software is eating the world. It's a Software-Defined Economy. It'll run in your Software-Defined Data Center.
But it feels like there is a gap between the things that developers are using to change the economy, and the tools that fall into the definition of "Software-Defined". There are the tools of the Devs, and then the tools of the Ops crowd. In the past, the IT community often thought of them as isolated, but that thinking is beginning to change. Examples of "Infrastructure as Code" and "Operations at Scale" are beginning to become more visible and common.
Even the definition of a "developer" is beginning to change. In the past, developer only applied to the people writing the applications that we interacted with as business users. This now applies to infrastructure and operations teams as well. Think of it as the evolution of the SysAdmin, but across all the functional areas of infrastructure and operations.
But there is still opportunity to do better. Making it easier for all kinds of developers to be able to use these new software-defined tools and environments. To eliminate all the friction between them getting the software and making it useful; integrating it into their environments and making it part of their continuous application builds. Just making software free to download is not enough.
- Is the software available via GitHub?
- Are the APIs well documented?
- Does sample code exist across a broad range of languages and frameworks?
- Can a developer run the software locally?
- Can the software be up and running in minutes, using the native deployment tools of the developer?
- Is there an online community to answer questions for developers?
- Is there an online environment that allows the developers to validate that the software can integrate and scale beyond their local machine?
- Does the software creator actively participate in the community, both online and in real life?

It's a natural progression for the OpenStack community to drive awareness of applications and services. But that's not the marketplace I observed in Atlanta last week.
btw – In case you missed OpenStack Summit, here are all the videos – lots of great technical content and discussions.
The marketplace I observed was the reality of the IT marketplace, with vendors beginning to make moves and announcements which show that OpenStack is no longer a dream about "interoperable open clouds", but instead is just another set of tools, products and APIs that will vigorously attempt to compete for the hearts, minds and wallets of IT professionals, developers and systems integrators.
This isn't to say that the OpenStack dream is fading. It was alive and well in keynotes which drew analogies to the Star Wars Rebel alliance, fighting against the Evil Empire and the Death Star. But diving deeper, we saw that there is still division amongst contributors and developers about what should really be considered "Core OpenStack". Will developers still actively and passionately work on projects if they are not considered "core"? Will some vendors try and claim to be "more core" in their distributions or offerings than others?

The Challenges of Calculating Cloud TCOCloud Computing, Hybrid cloud, Private Cloud, Public Cloud, ROI, TCO, VMware
The big trend with Cloud Computing providers these days is a focus on "Enterprise" customers and workloads. We see this from AWS, VMware, EMC, Cisco, Microsoft, IBM, HP and others. Regardless of how each of those companies define "Enterprise", this means that they are now subject to the rigors of TCO calculations prior to major purchases being made. Welcome to the wonderful world of Enterprise IT.
Now for the fun part. Building a TCO model that properly explains how much the offering will cost over a standard period of time – typically 3-5 years. Having built several of these models in the past, I know that they are always held up to huge amounts of scrutiny. Whether customers think you're trying to hide or mislead them on costs, or whether customer believe you don't understand realistic use-cases, no two TCO models are ever the same. They all make assumptions and they all have to make tradeoffs between completeness of information and usability (eg. too many inputs, too many calculations). With that in mind, let's take a look at a recent attempt at a TCO calculator by AWS, comparing their server vs. traditional data centers.
Let's begin by asking a few basic questions:
- What type of use-cases or applications does the TCO tool allow to be modeled? (eg. redundancy, security, availability, performance, etc.)
- What assumptions does the TCO tool make about how costs are calculated? (eg. cost of equipment; cost of IT resources; efficiency of IT resources – both people and equipment)
- Does the TCO tool make reasonable comparisons between each model? Too many tools compare one approach's "best" vs. another approaches "worst" scenario.
- Does the TCO tool surface all the assumptions of both approaches, or just the approach of the tool originator?
Looking Forward to OpenStack Summit (Spring 2014)
With the announcement of the release of OpenStack "Icehouse", the 9th version of the series of OpenStack projects, it's now time for the community to focus their attention on the 2014 (Spring) OpenStack Summit in Atlanta, GA. This is an opportunity for the OpenStack Foundation to provide their version of the "State of the Stack", by highlight customers using the software and interesting trends in the marketplace. It's also a multi-day set of design sessions for engineers involved in the "Juno" (J) release, which is targeted for Fall 2014. Last but not least, it's a massive recruiting and networking event, where every company has a vacancy sign out front for anyone with OpenStack-centric skills or experience.
This year, I'll be interested to see a few things:
The Marquee Customer
There have been rumors for over a year that a Fortune 10 customer would be announced as a huge OpenStack user, for production applications. That name hasn't emerged yet. I'll be looking for big names building internal Private Clouds on OpenStack, and at least a few names using Service Provider clouds powered by OpenStack.
OpensStack has long been touted as the alternative to AWS (and often VMware), with the promise of open-clouds for customers. I'll be looking for progress on overall interoperability between BOTH cloud providers and between distributions of OpenStack. This is still enough of an issue that Red Hat's General Manager of Open Hybrid Cloud Programs (Alessandro Perilli, @giano) took to Twitter to highlight his belief that start-up OpenStack distributions (or products) should not be trusted by customers because the risk of start-up failure is too high. Indirectly, this is also a statement of the interoperability of various OpenStack distributions, if he's claiming that switching costs could run into the $$ millions. Continued »
Fear and Loathing in Cloudvegas
[A better title might be, "How to Drive Yourself Crazy Thinking About Your Career in Tech"]
I wasn't around when the horse and buggy era ended, but sometimes I feel like I'm having the same conversations that the blacksmiths, saddle makers and stable sweeps had back in the early 1900s. Fast forward a hundred years and this 3rd platform transition has a lot of people wondering what to do next.
Let me step back and put some of this in context. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Internet changed everything. Where we work. How we work. The importance of technology for business success. And because of technology, very few of us have the same career path that our parents had before us.
- Companies are no longer centrally located, with their workforces being globally dispersed.
- Companies no longer maintain all their own internal services, often using resources available over the Internet to achieve the best mix of price and service.
- Companies no longer provide long-term pension plans (except some government agencies), so employees rarely stay at the same companies for their entire career.
- Customers (buyers) no longer get all of their knowledge from their suppliers. The Internet allows thousands of voices and opinions to impact their knowledge and buying decisions.
- Customers (buyers) are increasingly looking for new sources and consumption models for the technology that will help their businesses.
- Public Cloud and Open Source Software are moving the margins and control away from vendors and onto parties that can more directly control their future. The supply chain is shifting and with it is the location of value-capture.
So what does this have to do with Cloud Computing? Most people would tend to think that the majority of my days and nights are filled with deep, enlightening conversations about the topic. I wish. In fact, I am spending more and more of my time with people asking what's next, specifically as it relates to their career in technology.
The Rise of the Rockstars
No phrase in our industry drives me crazier than "He/She is a Rockstar!" Why? A couple reasons:
- Most bands aren't made up of dozens of people on stage; instead it's just a few. So most people are either roadies or groupies.
- Rockstars travel. A lot. That's part of the job. The big money is in being close to the customer. No travel, no rockstar.
- Not all rockstars make the big money. There are plenty that are only headlining at small venues in 2nd or 3rd-tier cities.
- Except for a few rare exceptions, Rockstars burn out in a short period of time.
- Rockstars begin to expect indulgences that lead to unrealistic expectations. Continued »
Cloudy Musings and Random Thoughts
The "Five Computer" Theory
In 1943, Thomas Watson said, "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers." Then in the early 2000s, when the Web 2.0 era was starting GigaOm- resurrected the idea (sorry, can't find the link, circa 2001-2003), but this time it was five clouds – Google (Search/Ads), Salesforce (Business), Amazon (Retail) and two others. In the first case, it was well before the PC and Smartphone era. In the second case, it was believed that we'd see massive consolidation of web services as companies struggled to figure out business models beyond freemium or backed by Google Ads.
Since then we've seen the rise of many "giant computers" – AWS, Google Compute Platform (and all the Google properties – Search, YouTube, Gmail, Maps, etc.), Microsoft/Windows Azure (and their other online properties), Twitter, Facebook, WebEx, Ebay – as well as the rise of many businesses built on top of those computers – Dropbox, SnapChat, Zynga, Box, NetFlix, etc.
We know from the Gartner IaaS MQ that it can be very difficult for smaller companies to catch up to AWS. But this year, I suspect the chart will be somewhat different as Google Compute Platform and VMware vCHS are added, and Microsoft Azure has expanded. Will we begin to see rapid consolidation of the "giant computer" market, with more businesses being built on top of the leaders? Or is still too early to see how the evolution to the 3rd platform will play out?
Opportunities for DevOps Consultants
My friend Jeff Schneider (MomentumSI, Transcend Computing) recently wrote a nice blog on how to evaluate consulting companies that focus on Cloud Computing. More and more, I get questions from my friends working at VARs (and vendors) trying to figure out how to get better prepared for DevOps (tools, methodology, skills, etc.). I believe there is a huge opportunity for the DevOps focused consulting companies to target VARs and existing vendors with training that would accelerate the understanding of this space. Some might argue that this could eventually eliminate the consultants existing business, but I believe the opposite would happen. They'd see an acceleration of companies looking to adopt the skills/tolls/methodologies, and they would continue to be the leading experts. The VARs (and vendors) would bring them into customers at a pace they have never seen before, because of their local presence and existing relationships. The gap between the consulting experts and the average Dev or IT team is huge. There is opportunity there to shrink the gap and significantly expand the market demand.
Can anything slow down AWS?
I get asked this all the time. Watching them continue to innovate and reduce prices, it can often be difficult to image a scenario where this happens. But there are plenty of possibilities: Continued »
The New Cloud Marketplace
The week of March 23rd, 2014 might go down in history as 1 AG (After Google). By launching (or re-launching, who can really keep up), the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) officially created a public utility cloud marketplace.
What? How can that be, considering that there are lots of recognized Cloud providers? While it's true that all of these companies exist, and many run excellent businesses for specific market segments, most of them aren't focused on the utility elements of the market.
This really shouldn't surprise anybody, if you've been paying attention. The experienced segment of the #clouderati have been predicting this for quite a while (here, here). Continued »
Federated InterCloud of Hybridness
On the 8th day, the Internet was created. And with it came (basically) seamless ability to access and move information around the big tangled mess of Intertubes. Apparently those TCP/IP inventors were pretty smart. And apparently ever since that day, or whenever Cloud Day 1 was, people have had the belief they could coordinate to do something similar for applications, application-containers and all of their associated data. They like to draw analogies to how email works, or how your mobile phone roams from carrier to carrier. And hence, there is the dream of a Federated InterCloud of Hybridness.
This past week, the market rumbled about how Cisco was planning to spend $1B to create the InterCloud. Since $1B is the new starting point for making cloud announcements or investments, this caught people's attention. Also, because some media misunderstood it to be that Cisco was actually going to get into the Cloud business and directly compete against AWS, GCP, Azure, Rackspace, etc. That's not actually the case. This about selling equipment to lots of SPs, with the hope that they will interconnect and allow companies to freely move between them. InterCloud'ing at the network layer, with a means of interconnecting with public cloud APIs.
But Cisco is by no means the first to drive this concept. Let's take a look at who else has been driving this.
DevOps Skills are Highest in Demand
One of the most interesting things about doing The Cloudcast (podcast) is the variety of topics we get to discuss and the perspectives from people across our industry. Over the past few weeks, we've done shows focused on the evolution of PaaS, trends with AWS and public cloud, and how large-scale web companies scale. Regardless of whether the perspective was about large Enterprises, using Public Cloud providers or running large-scale operations, every one of the guests repeatedly brought up the growing demand for DevOps skills.
Let me step back and clarify a little bit. Saying a company needs "DevOps skills" is sort of like saying that a company needs to buy "Cloud products". Both Cloud and DevOps are terms used to describe operational models. And in most cases, they are intertwined. Cloud tends to be more focused on self-service, on-demand resources. DevOps is focused on agile development and agile operational models than are tightly integrated. Both are focused on increasing the velocity that applications can be deployed (and updated) to help a business reach their goals.
There were a few interesting/insightful comments from those shows that got me thinking quite a bit:
"While many companies will use tools like Puppet or NewRelic (or whatever) to deploy to AWS, they have alot of skepticism that their tools companies will be around in a few years. So these companies are encouraging their people to really understand the mechanics of how they deal with operations and deployments. Over the next 2yrs, DevOps skills will be the most highly in demand, especially for anyone that considers themselves in IT Ops today." – Mat Ellis (Cloudability)
"The problems within an Enterprise are no different than the problems of a start-up, especially if you buy into the notion that every successful company over the next 10yrs will have to have a significant involvement with software (across any industry)." – Mark Imbriaco (GitHub) Continued »

Canadian contactless transactions grow 150%
September 16th, 2015
The number of contactless transactions conducted in Canada has increased by almost 150% over the past year, fuelled in part by the rapid roll-out of Interac Flash cards, research from Technology Strategies International shows. "The mobile payments landscape in Canada will change dramatically within the next five years, with about two thirds of the smartphones in Canada having NFC capability by 2019," the company adds.
Canadian NFC phones forecast
June 11th, 2012
By 2016 almost 80% of the smartphones in Canada will be NFC-enabled, "providing a solid foundation for the uptake of mobile contactless payments", according to Canadian Payments Forecast — 2012, a new report from TSI. "Cash will remain the most frequently used form of payment in Canada over the next five years, but will suffer substantial erosion from contactless debit and credit payments," say the authors.
One in three Canadians ready to use bank-issued mobile wallets
September 12th, 2011
A new survey has found that a third of Canadians would use a mobile wallet if it was provided to them by their bank — but there is less interest in mobile wallets provided by other potential types of issuer. More

Epic is not only Blue Sky's best movie but also director Chris Wedge's most personal, too: a swashbuckling, samurai action/adventure that takes place in a lush, microscopic forest world. It beautifully translates N.C. Wyeth for Alice in Wonderland meets The Adventures of Robin Hood. Throw in Seven Samurai and Gladiator for good measure with just a sprinkling of Avatar for seasoning. It's familiar and new; naturalistic and fantastical. And it's about looking beneath the surface and discovering hidden truths about life and nature.
It all started 15 years ago with a dinner conversation between Wedge and his old pal, Bill Joyce, who had just visited the Frick Museum in New York, where he was enchanted by an exhibit on Victorian fairy paintings. They went into real woods and imagined an adventure about heroic Leafmen: Joyce helped lay the foundation and wound up writing the children's book, The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs, and Wedge took inspiration and went in his own direction for Epic.
"My philosophy is always to make an excuse for the way computer animation looks and to try and make it as natural as I can," Wedge explains."The look I was after on Epic was something definitely inspired by the masterful N.C. Wyeth. That's a look that I was after and that Greg Couch, who was the primary production designer, applied with is own twist. If you look at those great old paintings, there's a continuity of style in the brush strokes themselves and in the application of detail and color. For us, it's trying to apply the same level of reality on faces and veins in leaves."
It was a process of reverse engineering: define and build the world, figure out a story, and populate it with characters who become more refined and understandable over time. Yet it was an organic evolution. For Wedge, the theme was about connection: "Many leaves, one tree." And the forest is protected by samurai-like Leafmen riding hummingbirds and picking off Boggans with arrows. They are the barbarian force of decay.
"My [plan] was to get everything up as fast as we could and I had reels up in nine months," Wedge adds. "Scale was so important. They had to do it twice: what the world looks like from our scale and then what it looks like from theirs. A lot of the things we carefully designed so their world would look the same but alien. You're standing at a tree trunk at one moment; the next moment you're standing at the base of a fern. But the composition is similar.
"One of our R&D guys, Hugo Ayala, did a research paper on the physics of being a Leafman and presented it to the crew. And so the relative strength gives them the ability to jump the equivalent of 30 feet. The recoil of an arrow would send you backward, so we made sure that every time a Leafman fired an arrow that his feet were firmly planted either on the ground or his bird. And whenever a Boggan gets hit he'd just go flying."
But the first revelation came to Wedge when he noticed a sparrow outside his window flying up to its nest beneath the eaves of his house. The blur of flapping wings gave him the idea of how speed should work in the forest world, so it was possible for Leafmen to ride on the backs of birds and go undetected by humans. It was like the difference between listening to vinyl at 78 vs. 33 1/3.
Creating the forest was an outgrowth of the fur simulation they created for Rio, only with better algorithms.And they had to rig all of the leaves and trees for wind movement. The ambush sequence was very satisfying for the director. "Every Boggan that goes splashing in the water looks like a chess pawn," he says. "When we were looking at some of these shots in 3-D, there was so much more information on the screen that it wasn't about the narrative, it was about the experience."
However, Wedge admits that his favorite moments are the discussions between the wacky professor, Bomba (Jason Sudeikis), and his estranged teenage daughter, M.K. (Amanda Seyfried), who shrinks down into the mysterious forest world like Alice falling into Wonderland.
"Digging as far in as we could, it's the toughest stuff to animate, to gauge from a design perspective how much realism we wanted in the proportions and how much detail we wanted in the faces," Wedge explains. "It took a lot of time to get that. For Bomba, I wanted a character actor from the middle of the last century: he's Sterling Holloway or Danny Kaye or Norman Rockwell -- all knees and all elbows. His profile is always zig-zaggy."
M.K. (Mary Katherine, named after Joyce's late daughter) blossomed into a beautiful, kind, and spirited city girl defined by her hoodie. She's the heart and soul of Epic, so believable in look and performance. "The hardest scene was when M.K. blows the dust off a scroll and has a vision, a memory that she relives, and that was about five departments shaking hands to get the animation and effect of the vision in the 3-D dust done properly.
"The other films I've been involved with I was only interested in making the one movie, but I've spent the better part of the last eight years thinking about this one and it could be I'm not done thinking about it -- we'll see. I think there's plenty more to mine -- that's for sure."
First let's see how Epic performs at the box office starting May 24, and if it generates Oscar heat.

{Abby's Paris Bakeshop Party}
I have been sharing parts of this bakeshop party this week and here is the grand finale with all of the details:) I LOVED this party…a ton of work…but probably the cutest party I've thrown…the little girls were adorable and loved the fun activities and decorating their mini cakes. Plus, they looked so cute in their mini aprons and chef hats. Such a cute party idea for little girls!
I received a ton of inspiration from PINTEREST! Who doesn't?! Here is my Pinterest Page: Crafty Jamie's Pinterest Page I added a lot of pins to my party section including ideas I used for this party. I have to give credit to the amazing sites that inspired me! Particularly ONE CHARMING PARTY…LOVE Brittney and her amazing site. And this BAKING PARTY….AMAZING!
Hopefully these photos help you get a good idea! It was a blast…I was one tired mama! XO
{The Invites}
I made the invites in photoshop…used turquoise, pink and black…the colors for the party.
The inside said:
"Come & Get Your Sweet-Tooth Fix"
Abby is Turning 6!
I used bakers twine from Orson Gygi (pink) and Pick Your Plum (blue) to tie mini cookie cutters (from Hobby Lobby) on the front.
{The Aprons & Chef Hats}
When each girl arrived, they put on a mini apron, Details Here: Bandanna Apron Tutorial
& a paper chef hat.
We made cupcake flowers and glued buttons in the center to add some flare. They looked so cute all dressed up and ready to bake!
{The Decorations}
I loved the colors…pink, turquoise and black.
I found this adorable cake on a cake stand image to use for the framed cake art below and other things.
I also used some Eiffel towers to decorate the tables below.
Banners and Pennants!
I picked up these ADORABLE paper sacks at PICK YOUR PLUM! LOVE these. I made banners with these. They were already the perfect size so it saved so much time using these instead of paper. I added Abby's name to the polka dot one and mini Eiffel towers to the pink and black chevron banner.
I used adorable polka-dot PICK YOUR PLUM cupcake liners for the garland for my staircase (above). I just used a needle and thread to string the liners on and added some ribbon when I tied it on the staircase.
I used pink and black lanterns and pink tissue paper balls to add some more pizzazz.
For the tables, I found these cute damask and polka-dot plates at Walmart and just added some pink and blue on top.
I found mini rolling pins at Hobby Lobby (I painted the ends blue-they were red), and added a name tag with bakers twine for the place cards.
{The Treats}
I set up a little "Pastry Shop" buffet table to display the treats/cupcakes.
Mini Eiffel Tower chocolates-these were a hit. I found my mold at Orson Gygi. Such a great find to tie into the party. We handed these out for the bingo prize:)
Some fun ideas for the pastry buffet were…mini danish, mini eclairs, pastry shells with whipped cream and raspberries and of course cupcakes!
I used the same cake stand image for the cupcake toppers. The cupcake liners were from Pick your Plum.
{Fun & Games}
During the party, we played a few fun games. The girls loved it!
Baking Bingo (click on the link for the free download-Personal use only:)
Pass the Package- I'm not sure the name of this game, but it was hilarious! The girls had to put on mini oven mits and then try and open a wrapped package with just a butter knife and fork. They each had 30 seconds to try and unwrap the surprise!
Cake Walk- This was so fun! I played 80's girly songs as the girls walked around numbers-(that I placed in a circle around the tables). When we stopped the music, I called out a number and whomever landed on that number got a prize. We just did this until all the girls got their prize…much better than musical chairs!
{The Mini Cakes}
Orson Gygi had the BEST selection of sprinkles…it was sprinkle HEAVEN! Orson Gygi is offering a discount to all Crafting Chicks readers.
I think the girls loved decorating their mini cakes the best! They really got into it! Serious little pastry chefs!

A woman or man who is both a secretary and a slut. One who enjoys fornicating in or outside the office with fellow co-workers, especially the boss. Secresluts are very crafty and clever and extreme caution should be used around them.
That new intern Sandy is definitely a secreslut, I heard she has had sex with four men in this office and she has only been working here for two weeks.
