Hey, Caroline! I know all too well the challenges of finding a perfect party frock when you're six-foot-plus. The gowns I've tracked down are all either available in tall size options, or come with tall-friendly style features such as dropped waists, a shift fit or a lower hem. And of course, they've all got plenty of color or sparkle.
1. Lipsy Sequin Disc Dress ($119)
2. Tall Sequin Bodycon Dress ($116)
3. Cross-Over Shutter Dress ($155)
4. Motel Missy Metallic Bustier Dress in Black and Copper ($120)
5. Adrianna Papell Sequined Mesh Blouson Dress ($198)

Shoreditch's recently opened men's boutique Hostem is a stand-out stop for shoppers combing the streets of East London's ever-burgeoning neighborhood. Proprietor James Brown sought to marry his favorite, though often disparate, sartorial aesthetics under one roof, yielding a selection of offerings that are both austere and artisanal.
From the tightly edited cadre of brands (Ann Demeulemeester, Casely-Hayford, Adam Kimmel) to Hostem's JAMESPLUMB-conceived interiors, the store's concept of elegant, intelligent design unifies the space and its contents. "So many cultures have influenced me from living in Umbria to Los Angeles," Brown explains. "It was important my various experiences were reflected in Hostem." It's fitting, then, that the décor—Swedish linen curtains, hand-painted hessian wall panels and front desk-cum-former church pew—contributes a balancing sense of calm and quiet. That the shop takes its name from the Latin "audio hostem," or "I hear the enemy," further suggests Brown's potential antagonists are anything too gaudy or trendy.
To that end, the shop eschews quotidian heritage brands and sleek surfaces. Formerly an arts industrial space, Hostem traffics in rustic-luxe, housing re-claimed or re-worked lamps, mirrors and screens among the high-end designer goods. Magazines, jewelry and bookshelves fill the space, as do Santa Maria Novella's Melograno bath oil, Agatha Blois' fragrances and Rick Owens' sneakers, which are perched atop cement plinths. The bric-a-brac-heavy look thus approximates something akin to a collector's emporium.
Said emporium is comprised of three conjoining rooms. The first, set against a neutral, chalky-hued backdrop, caters to Hostem basics like Damir Doma tees or Elder Statesman cashmere. The second, more intimate space (replete with low, swooping ceilings), houses niche, directional brands including the aforementioned Owens, Augusta and MA+. Finally, the third room functions as a sort of artist-in-residence showcase for visiting designers (the first being cult collaborator Dr. Romanelli's Prescription Shoppe) with the goal of acquainting customers with heretofore unknown brands alongside their favorite progressive labels. Brown ultimately seeks to "cater to the myriad requirements of the modern consumer and the fact that no two retail experiences are ever the same." By all accounts, it appears as though he's well on his way.

Innsbruck, AT | Salzburg, AT
bad architects group is a young international practice with its headquarters in Innsbruck, Austria, founded by Ursula Faix and Paul Burgstaller. The portfolio of the office encompasses all areas of design, from the urban scale to interior design. Of central concern to the practice is a simultaneous engagement in practice (PROJECTS), teaching (TEACHING) and urban research (LABS).
Prior founding bad architects group, both partners gained project and management experience from working at e.g. Massimiliano Fuksas in Rome, west8 / urban design and landscape architecture and OMA / Rem Koolhaas in Rotterdam as well as Behnisch&Partners in Stuttgart, Germany. Currently bad architects group holds a visiting professorship for urban planning at the University for Business and Technology in Prishtina, Kosovo and is a permanent lecturer at the Institute for Urban Design and Regional Planning at the University of Innsbruck. Moreover bad architects group is embedded in an international network of planners (bad-architects.network).
Next to designing classical architectural projects like "Stadterke Areal" (multiuse urban development project) or "block°"(housing project), bad architects group is researching on influences of media based representations of the city and its influences on its physical reality. Examples are projects like "DE-tro-IT", a Shrinking Cities project (with bad-architects.network), "The POWER of the UNESCO World Heritage", a project for the 3rd Architectural Biennale in Rotterdam or "Urban Debris. Operation Haparanda", a project developed for the Architecture Triennale in Oslo in 2007 (with bad architects.network).
With this multi-layered background in urban planning, projects are considered as urban development projects more than pure real estate projects. bad architects considers itself not as a mere service provider purveying its clients with exceptional design skills and professional experience but also as a responsible agent in the urban development.

How to get the perfect at home manicure
With the economy being so tough, it can be hard to keep up with the "every two weeks" nail salon routine. Here are some steps you can follow to create a nice, pretty, eye-catching manicure.
Tools you will need:
Clean hands and nails free of oil and nail polish. Your hands and nails should be dry.
• Emery board/Nail file
• Nail polish remover
• Nail Clippers
• Buffer
• Cotton Balls
• Nail Polish
• Base Coat
• Clear top coat
Set up your work area and materials. It helps if you store all of your nail supplied in one place. Select the polish and tools you will you use. By having all of your tools in place, and by selecting them ahead of time, it saves time in the long run. It also helps make sure that you do not mess up your nails looking for your items.
The first step is to trim your nails if desired. Next, carefully file and shape your nails. Be gentle when filing your nails, and make sure they are completely dry.
Tip: A short, square look tends to work better for bold colors.
Some popular colors for this spring and summer are:
Mint Green
After shaping and filing, lightly buff each nail. Take care not to over-buff your nails. Next, go over nails with a little nail polish remover to ensure they are dust free and completely free of polish.
Now for the polish!
Make sure to use a base coat on each nail before applying color. This protects and seals the natural nail, which prevents peeling and yellow nails. Let the base coat dry completely, then apply the first coat of color. Make sure the polish brush has a minimal amount of paint. This helps the polish dry between coats, and prevents bubbles. Once the first coat is dry, apply the second coat of polish. Repeat with the second coat, and then seal with the clear top coat.
The most important steps that make the biggest difference in the perfect manicure are filing and buffing, and letting each coat dry before applying the next coat.
After you are finished, get glammed up with your makeup, hair and cute outfit. Get ready for compliments. Feel great and love your perfect at home manicure!

The Olympics provide a fun moment in time for us because watching the best of the best athletes compete in their sports inspires us to want to push harder, get stronger, feel more fit, and strive for something greater. Watching them achieve such an honor makes us all feel like underachievers. While admiration only goes so far, there are plenty of classes that offer conditioning programs to train like an athlete not to mention a legit sweat session. No need to wait any longer... get sweating!
Here are some studios across the US that offer an "Olympic-sized" workout:
Exceed Physical Culture (NYC) – Check out the BeOn Total Body for 50 minutes of "sweat crying"
As 1 (NYC) – Most of their As One Effect classes offer interval training between cardio and strength. Get ready to experience the Jacob's Ladder!
Burn60 (LA) – We're thinking that the Burn Out 45 is enough to get you WAY out of your comfort zone. Between Kettlebells, TRX, Weighted balls, and plenty of resistance bands, there isn't a single excuse to NOT work hard.
Circuit Works (LA) – Offers an Interval/Circuit Training workout combination that changes weekly. Experience creative cardio routines combined with resistance tubing, free weights and stabilization exercises.
Barry's Bootcamp (Boston) – New to the Boston scene … this popular west coast workout is making its way all over the US. The classes concentrate on different body parts each day of the week with a full body focus on the weekends. During class you rotate between cardio (treadmills) and strength moves - certainly a recipe for a sweat fest + calorie burning.
Sweat on State (Chi) – You never know what to expect! The workouts change daily and offer lightweight high rep exercises, gymnastic movements, functional training, tabata training, and cardio with innovative equipment such as concept 2 rowers.
Shred 415 (Chi) – This class format alternates between treadmill training and HIT interval strength exercises to "shred" your way to a strong body. You'll experience pushups, burpees, squats – more than you could have dreamed of!

the title pretty much sums it up.
how do I add a startup.sh and shutdown.sh of my server app to the startup and shutdown sequence of the Debian OS?
On Debian, service & application boot and shutdown scripts should be placed into
Debian provides an example script
Once it's in place, call:
To have Debian add the
If you prefer a menu or graphical interface, take a look at the
You can call your script from /etc/rc.local, prior to the line that says exit 0
As for shutting down your app, I would suggest putting a script in /etc/rc0.d. You need to name it with an uppercase K, and then a 2 digit number which specifies the order these scripts are run, and then a name. It will be called with a parameter "stop", but you can ignore this for a simple stop script.
For startup have a look at this.
For shutdown, create a link / copy your script into one of the /etc/rcX.d folders where X is the runlevel that you want it to execute at. 0 is the shutdown runlevel for Debian I believe.
The easiest is to modify existing scripts, works in my system, used for sounds :)

With the San Jose Sharks' Tuesday night loss to the Anaheim Ducks, the team is relegated to a second-place finish in the Pacific Division and a first-round playoff matchup with the Los Angeles Kings.
The good news is the Sharks get to close out their home schedule at the SAP Center tonight while shooting for their 50th win of the season (again) and welcoming back Tomas Hertl to the lineup after a long injury absence.
Hertl led all National Hockey League rookies with 25 points when he went down with a knee injury after 35 games. He had 15 goals and ten assists, while posting a +11 rating.
San Jose has lost two straight with the division title in their grasp, getting outscored 8-2 in the process, so Hertl's production will be a welcomed sight as the Sharks prepare for the postseason next week. The team closes the regular season tomorrow night in Phoenix.
Now, the Sharks (49-22-9) will have to play the Kings (46-28-7) again in the postseason, for the third time in the last four years. In 2013, the Kings won a seven-game series where the home team won every game -- this spring, however, San Jose will own the home-ice advantage.
The game tonight against the Colorado Avalanche is important to the visitors, who are tied for the lead in the Central Division with the St. Louis Blues. The second-place team there will draw the defending Stanley Cup champions (Chicago Blackhawks) in the first round of the postseason, so the Avs will be fighting hard tonight while the Sharks may be resting some key players in order to be ready for the playoffs next week.
Expect Alex Stalock to get the start in net for San Jose, for example, so starting goaltender Antti Niemi can get some time off before facing the Kings next week.
Game time is 7:00 p.m., and the Sharks are giving away Logan Couture bobbleheads before the game as a part of Fan Appreciation Night.

I had a request for some of my essential make-up items and here is the first installment.
Smashbox Bliss or Smashbox Champagne
Forget the eternal MAC Ricepaper or Shroom eyeshadows. Bliss and Champagne are two buttery soft shadows that have the right colour composition and frost. They make the perfect highlighting shade. One quick swipe across the browbone and my eyes get a lift and look alive and awake. And did I mention that the texture is to die for?
This seems to work better than any fancy lipbalm out there. It's an essential that saves my cracked, bleeding lips everytime. It's not fancy but it works.
Bobbi Brown Bronzer in Medium
One of my favourite products. It's a no-brainer really. It's matte and so natural that it's become my go-to bronzer. I use it as a blush, contour, or, and here's a shocker, bronzer. Because it doesn't have shimmer and doesn't have deep orange undertones there's no leather handbag
quality to the look I end up with.
Vasanti Eye Pencil in Black
Lately I've become too lazy to put on my gel eyeliner so I've resorted to a quick swipe of kohl pencil. All kohl pencils smudge on me but the Vasanti eye pencil is one of the more resilient ones. The reason I love it is that t glides on smoothly, without tugging in the least and it is intensely black. It makes for a gorgeous quick smoulder. In the picture I'm wearing the pencil liner on my waterline and smudged slightly along my top lashes.

Talking about smudgy eye pencils, I seem to have found one that wont move no matter what!! Its the Max Factor twist up pencil, I have it in ... god only knows what the shade's name is, it got rubbed out from staying in my bag all the time, anyway its a deep black, and wont even come out with soap and water, forget make up remover. The only thing that works on it is vaseline. Tends to tug a bit when its brand new, but softens to just right afterwards :)12:26 AM

The London School of Business and Finance (LSBF) has launched a new Global MBA with a specialisation in Carbon Management. The degree is designed to give students all the knowledge needed to pursue careers in the renewable energy sector, which grew by 17% in 2011 with global investments of over $257 billion.
Teaching students the principles of carbon management, the MBA will highlight current and emerging issues from the sector at both national and international level. Students will also study project management and leadership, helping them to implement carbon management policies in businesses worldwide. These practical and academic skills will give students the opportunity to build their future in the rapidly growing and forward-thinking sustainability sector.
China, the USA, Germany, Italy, India and the UK are the biggest investors in green energy and it is estimated that by 2030 there will be 20 million jobs in the sustainability sector. In recent years, a total of 2.3 million jobs have been created in the sector, with the most popular career pathways being:
• Energy and Sustainability Management
• Carbon Emission Management
• Energy Analysis
• Sustainable Project Management
• Sustainability Performance Analysis
• Energy Conservation
"It is well established that many of the largest corporations have great difficulty in setting down what their business model is. It takes in how money is made, the competitive environment, the dynamics of the customer base, the make/buy decision, place in the supply chain and the current and emerging regulatory framework, among other things. Setting down, agreeing and living the business model is a necessary step in building a sustainable corporation and is an objective we will ensure our students are capable of achieving through this programme."said Dr Steve Priddy, head of LSBF's Academic Research.

Chances are, if you're a social media buff, you already know about Foursquare. The GPS-inspired networking tool is creating a lot of buzz with the Twitter crowd. The frequent, and to some, incessant tweets and emails updating you on the whereabouts of your friends may actually serve a purpose greater than to inform you of their addictions to Starbucks.
"Foursquare is a very cool application, and unlike other location-aware apps, it adds a competitive element to the interaction, as it rewards you for checking in whenever you arrive at a new location," says Frederic Lardinois of ReadWriteWeb.
This leaderboard style quality has avid users vying for the best and most creative ways to earn their fair share of recognitions. Many times, this success is found in some of the lesser known, local spots. But is this seeming pride of destination ownership really something to be proud of?
Many local businesses are saying yes with the old saying, "no press is bad press." With each user check-in, they receive free press through the application's "nearby" capabilities.
"For a small business with a limited advertising budget, it's a great way to promote ourselves," said Olivia O'Neal, owner of Sugar Mama's, in a recent New York Times article.
So it seems one doesn't have to be in- with the proverbial in-crowd to know the hottest destinations in town. Merely, have the app for that.

My Way News – Chelsea Clinton Guards Her Words
It's one thing for Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign to turn down interview requests for the candidate's daughter, Chelsea. But can't a 9-year-old reporter catch a break?
Sydney Rieckhoff, a Cedar Rapids fourth grader and "kid reporter" for Scholastic News, has posed questions to seven Republican and Democratic presidential hopefuls as they've campaigned across Iowa this year. But when she approached the 27-year-old Chelsea after a campaign event Sunday, she got a different response.
"Do you think your dad would be a good 'first man' in the White House?" Sydney asked, but Chelsea brushed her question aside.
"I'm sorry, I don't talk to the press and that applies to you, unfortunately. Even though I think you're cute," Chelsea told the pint-sized journalist.

I am new in sap . i got a task to create the divisin of beverage company.
in this beverage company i got a diffrent product line . so, i wana your views.
product line
No Code Division

2 20 Juices Products
3 30 Water Products
4 40 Scrap Products
No Code Division
1 10 Beverage Glass Products (returnable bottle)
2 20 Scrap Products
3 30 PET Products (Plastic bottle/non returnable)
4 40 TETRA Products
5 50 Cane Products
now please suggest me the best way to make division.
Dear ,
The first option is correct as it is base on product line and second one is on material packing i think so ,
But in my view the first division is correct and it shows that company deals in these main product.
Division we can understand - A broad product range can be divided into divisions, and in the SAP system, you can also define a division-specific sales structure. You can make customer-specific agreements for each division, for example regarding partial deliveries or pricing. Within a division, you can carry out statistical analyses or devise your own
To create new divisons it is better to copy the existing divisons...
Go to SPRO and then to Enterprise Structure --> Logistics General --> Define,copy,delete, check divsion --> Copy, delete, check division --> Copy org. object.
1 10 Beverage Glass Products (returnable bottle)
2 20 Plastic Products (Includes Plastic,Tetra packing etc... /non returnable)
3 30 Paper Products (Includes Canes)
Hi Sherry,
As far as I know, its better to differenciate as product wise instead of creating generic one. The better way to create division is as follows
1 10 Beverage CSD(carbonated) Products
2 20 Juices Products
3 30 Water Products
4 40 Scrap Products
so that you can differenciate whether it is juices, water or something else. Where as the Pet products, Tetra products would be more generic in my openion as you can have juices in pet bottles also water in pet bottles.
Note: to decide between the given two options is obviously based on your company/client business requirement.
to create Division in SAP - SAP2020 gave the correct answer. As you might aware that, you need to assign the division to sales organization and then used in sales area set up in later steps after creation of division.
Br, Sats.
Hi Sherry,
As Manu ans Sats suggested first one is right as it is based on product line

The Next Galaxy: Galaxy SIII
by Lara
For someone that is not tech savvy writing this blogpost gives me one of those shivers that say what if…what if the readers thinks she's gone wacko or something, but the thing is this is probably going to be my first and last blogpost regarding technology but the reason I have been able to push my fingernails to jam across my keyboard would be the launch of the Galaxy SIII phone about an hour ago.
As a proud Galaxy SII owner, I swear by the phone, seeing as I was emotionally attached to my Blackberry for three years, but well once you go Android you never go to other OS's. Nevertheless, global Korean Electronic company Samsung, launched their latest Galaxy S phone, the Samsung Galaxy SIII and here is why I fell head over heels in love with the phone that is said to be released in Europe on May 29th.
The phone has a 4.8-inch, 720 HD display and an 8 MP rear-facing camera. It will run on LTE and HSPA+ networks, Samsung announced at the Unpacked Event in London.
The Galaxy SIII which is said to be the world's most human phone is influenced by nature, comes with 6 sensors and includes voice improvements from the Galaxy SII and newly introduced eye tracking movements making the phone much easier to use.
The S Voice feature is a natural user interface that allows used to tell their Galaxy what to do, set the alarm, snooze the alarm, wake up the phone by saying "Hi Galaxy". The S voice can also be used to play your favorite songs, put the volume up and down, send text messages and, even active your camera.
A feature I will fall in love with once I get my hands on my very own Galaxy SIII would be the Smart Stay, sometimes when I am reading articles on my phone, it kills me that the lights go dimmed and off because it's been idle while I'm browsing, but the Smart Stay feature with the Galaxy SIII recognized eye movements and hence will keep a bright display without interruptions like going idle.
Then comes the Galaxy Beam feature, reminds me of the release of the Galaxy Beam back in the World Mobile Congress a few months ago, the SIII "S-Beam" combines Wifi, NFC Technology which in English allows you to share content from your phone with others by simply being each other, as well as wirelessly mirror the SIII on another device such as a TV or a projector.
Like the S II, the S III will feature an 8-megapixel camera, it will run on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich as its operating system, and will come in two color options — blue and white. That's it for now, I can't wait for more details of the device and for it's launch in Jordan…It's time for my Galaxy SII to have a partner, only difference is I'm crossing my fingers to afford it as a Birthday present for my husband. He's been buzzed about it beyond words can describe tonight its going to be awesome.
Share and Enjoy

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — A third border activist has been convicted of killing a southern Arizona man and his young daughter in a 2009 home invasion.
A Pima County Superior Court jury deliberated five hours Friday before finding 44-year-old Albert Gaxiola guilty of first-degree murder.
Jurors must now decide if the circumstances of the case warrant consideration of the death penalty. If they do, the Arizona Daily Star says defense attorneys will present mitigation evidence.
Gaxiola's two co-defendants, both from Washington state, already have been convicted in the case and sentenced to death.
Authorities say three people dressed as law enforcement officers allegedly forced their way into the victims' home in Arivaca, south of Tucson, on May 30, 2009.
They say 29-year-old Raul Junior Flores and his 9-year-old daughter Brisenia were fatally shot.

The ex-NBA star checks into a rehabilitation clinic for alcohol abuse, following a trip to North Korea mired in controversy.
08:21, UK, Monday 20 January 2014
Former NBA basketball star Dennis Rodman has checked into an alcohol rehabilitation centre.
His agent, Darren Prince, confirmed the development, but would not say in which facility Rodman is being treated or how long he is expected to be there.
Rodman recently returned from a controversial trip to North Korea, in which he sang Happy Birthday to leader Kim Jong-Un at the start of an exhibition basketball game.
The ex-player was heavily criticised for an outburst about captive American missionary Kenneth Bae in a televised interview earlier this month.
Mr Bae was detained in North Korea in November 2012 and placed in a labour camp.
In the interview, Rodman, 52, was challenged on why he is not using his connections with the North Korean leader to help Mr Bae. Rodman suggested that Kim was right in detaining the 45-year-old.
He later apologised for the comments, saying he had been drinking and was under pressure as he organised the exhibition game there.

I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 recently. When I try to power off, the hard disk seem to be powered off. However, the computer cannot be powered off completely. The power light and Bluetooth light is still on.
It usually happens when I use the computer for a while. If I try to power off just after starting, it would probably succeed.

As Colorado wraps up its sixth month of legal recreational marijuana sales, The Cannabist is looking back at those six months to see what has been gleaned in that intensely brief amount of time.
One thing we've learned: Businessmen and women are striking while the iron is hot.
If ever there was a time to launch your marijuana-oriented business it's now. People are risking their life savings on ideas that could flop or thrive -- and some of those ideas are particularly compelling given their ties to normalization.
Here are 10 strange but true stories from the first six months of 2014 -- from Colorado, California, Washington and beyond:
1. THC between the sheets: Some folks won't be comfortable talking about Foria in public. So what is it exactly? "It's a sensual enhancement oil designed for female pleasure -- a therapeutic aphrodisiac," said Mathew Gerson, Foria's Los Angeles-based creator. "Women have described it as relaxing, and they've said it's heightened their sensations. They've associated it with warming and tingling, localized in the sexual region." Read more about the THC-infused sexual stimulant.

Rocket Engine, Liquid Fuel, J-2, Mockup
This mockup of a J-2 liquid propellant rocket engine, powered by liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, is representative of the power plant used on the second and third stages of the Saturn V launch vehicle that took astronauts to the Moon in the Apollo program. The J-2 produced a thrust of 200,000-230,000 pounds. The Saturn V's second (S-II) stage used a cluster of five J-2's, while the third (S-IVB) stage was fitted with a single J-2 . The first manned flight with the J-2 engine was made on October 11, 1968 in the Saturn 1B Apollo 7 test mission. The Rocketdyne Division of Rockwell International donated this J-2 engine mockup to the Smithsonian in 1976.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Surveillance Drones
The Board of Supervisors of Santa Clara County, a jurisdiction in central California, is currently weighing a series of local surveillance reforms that could establish a model for other counties and municipalities. At a hearing last Thursday—one of many so far—I spoke in support of the proposed ordinance and submitted a letter with suggested amendments.
Just before the holidays, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) working group released guidance for state and local agencies using drone aircraft. The document, Best Practices for Protecting Privacy, Civil Rights & Civil Liberties In Unmanned Aircraft Systems Programs, addresses concerns over the implications of high-tech tools that, without rigorous controls and oversight embedded in law and embodied in code, can easily be abused.
Disturbing displays of military and surveillance equipment being used by state and local police have become commonplace. So it's not hard to imagine why Urban Shield, a four-day long "preparedness" exercise and equipment exhibition coordinated by the Alameda County Sheriff's Department, was asked not to return to Oakland last year after community opposition.
But the Stop Urban Shield coalition wants more. They want the event cancelled entirely.
Security shouldn't be a synonym for giving up civil liberties. But bills like HR 399 show that lawmakers think it is. The Secure Our Borders First Act is an ugly piece of legislation that's clearly intended to strongarm the Department of Homeland Security into dealing with the border in a very particular way—with drones and other surveillance technology.
Despite the fact that there is no conclusive evidence that camera surveillance is an effective deterrent against crime, the movement towards a pervasive surveillance state continues in many Latin American countries. Surveillance technologies such as drones are gaining popularity, raising significant concerns for privacy and civil liberties.

3rd District Council Member
E-mail: email@example.com
Follow Council Member Brown on Twitter @DariusJBrown #3rdDistrict
Darius J. Brown represents the Third District on Wilmington City Council in Wilmington, Delaware. The "tech councilman" has emerged as a thought leader developing public policy and providing upward mobility to residents of underserved neighborhoods in Wilmington's urban core.
Council Member Brown is an ardent poverty advocate, supporting the Half in Ten project to cut national poverty in half in ten years. His consciousness of the economic downturn's impact on the urban poor led him to begin a public awareness initiative, "Creating Pathways Out of Poverty." Focusing on food insecurity and child hunger, the councilman's work supports local food distribution programs, community centers, and child care facilities. Creating Pathways Out of Poverty helps residents retool through education and employment. Council Member Brown firmly believes they are the key vehicles, from Poverty to Opportunity to Mobility.
As a policy maker, insuring access is his foremost concern in addressing economic inequality. He approaches his work as an urban missiologist helping citizens by repairing the ladder of opportunity. Council Member Brown oftentimes says, "You can't improve neighborhoods without investing in the people who live there." Through education and employment initiatives, he is championing the call for human capital investment. This helps local residents become equipped for the emerging job sector through schooling and learned skill sets. His work extends to Justice reinvestment by supporting Reentry programs in his district and expanded services to the incarcerated population. To reduce poverty and recidivism he advances policies that create opportunity.
Council Member Brown's district work concentrates on building better neighborhoods. Through civic engagement he renews trust with an emphasis on fostering collaboration among stakeholders. Through this approach an ecosystem is formed to foster education, employment, housing, and wellness. Building better neighborhoods bolsters the districts economic growth and creates neighborhoods of opportunity, making them learning, working, livable, and healthy ecologies.
Councilman Brown serves nationally as a member of the National League of Cities (NLC), serving on the Finance, Administration & Intergovernmental Relations Committee and as a Leadership Fellow at NLC University providing education and professional development to 19,000 cities, towns and villages, representing more than 218 million Americans.

Like always, the Wii is in a bit of a predicament at the start of the year. It's got the outstanding game that Nintendo fans most desire in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, but not a whole lot more at this early stage of 2011.
There's the title that's shaping up to be one of the best of the year that'll probably slip under the radar in the West, in The Last Story. Then there's the third party FPS, Conduit 2 from Sega, and the second rate first party Nintendo title, Mario Sports Mix.
What I've done there is outline the basic principle of a Wii release schedule in January. There are a few titles you can place on your wish list right now, but they are far and few among some ailing gaps of concern. Expect those to fill-up somewhat, as Nintendo spring a few surprises on us and announce some big games for the end of the year at E3. If we're lucky, several third party developers might also get in on the act.
But now, let's take a look at the most anticipated Wii games, that we know about, for 2011.
Australian Release Date: TBA 2011
Hype Meter: HIGH
Why Is It Going To Be Awesome?
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is the Wii game to own in 2011. It's likely to be released towards the end of the year, and at this stage is going to be the biggest Wii game of '11.
Skyward Sword will essentially be the first original Zelda game on Wii, five years into the console's lifespan. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was released as a launch title, but was ported from the fizzling GameCube.
Zelda: Skyward Sword takes the popular series into bizarre territory once again, with our hero Link this time hailing from a city floating in the clouds. It'll place a greater emphasis on combat than previous games, with MotionPlus allowing for more control over swordplay.
Australian Release Date: January 27, 2011
Hype Meter: MEDIUM
Mario Sports Mix is our first anticipated game off the production line, arriving at the end of the month. Mario Sports Mix will offer a similar experience to previous Mario Sports Games but, as the title suggests, offers more variety. It includes four playable sports, hockey, basketball, volleyball and dodgeball, with a Mario twist and online multiplayer for up to four people.
Australian Release Date: TBA 2011 (Feb 15 in NA)
The Wii looks like the perfect platform for FPS games on paper, but in theory it hasn't eventuated. You can count the number of quality shooters on one hand, and The Conduit was long considered the best of the bunch; however, it was still riddled with flaws. Conduit 2 drops the "the" and looks to improve on the series. Once again it'll push the boundaries of the console and become a contender for best looking game on Wii. It'll introduce MotionPlus but will follow Goldeneye's lead and also allow use of the Classic Controller (Pro) and Headbanger headset. At this stage, it's shaping up to be the best shooter on Wii in 2011.
Australian Release Date: TBA
Australian Release Date: February 26, 2011
Hype Meter: LOW-MEDIUM
It's hard to label Kirby's Epic Yarn as "most anticipated" as the boat has well and truly sailed. Anyone who was genuinely excited has probably imported by now, as the delay just isn't good enough in this day and age. Having said that, it'll still be one of the most popular Wii titles in early 2011, and at last gives us something to enjoy in the otherwise fairly bare February.
Australian Release Date: February 24, 2011
de Blob 2 is no longer a Wii exclusive, but it doesn't need to be, it's about time Wii owners learnt to share their good games. The first game was one of the most innovative on the platform when it was released back in 2008, and is still one of the best third party Wii games available. The sequel looks to expand on that, and better yet, comes from Blue Tongue Entertainment, a Melbourne-based developer.
The Last Story is close to knocking Zelda off its perch of most anticipated game in Japan, and deserves a similar pre-release following in the Western World. It's a collaboration between Mistwalker and Nintendo, with the former being well respected in the RPG community. The Last Story is promised to be a "a new form of RPG by choosing the universal theme of human emotion." The visuals and artistic design will be top notch, and the sound track, from famed Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu, will round out the package. The Last Story is one of the most intriguing prospects of 2011, and deserves more recognition internationally, assuming we see a local release.
What are your most anticipated Wii games of 2011?
Pilkingbod said: I've never heard of "The Last Story"...
Kinda looks and sounds like Final Fantasy.
Tsunamo said: Pilkingbod said: I've never heard of "The Last Story"...
Kinda looks and sounds like Final Fantasy.It's kind of like that, but the gameplay is in real-time. It looks to be one of the Wii's golden Gems when it comes to RPG's, which it's sadly lacking in.

Associated Press
MADRID — Europe's debt crisis cast its gloom over larger countries like Spain on Tuesday as investors sold off government bonds on worries that the common currency region will be strained by more expensive bailouts.
The yields on Spain's 10-year bonds jumped as high as 5.7 percent — a euro-era record difference of 3.05 percentage points against the benchmark German 10-year bond — before easing to 5.5 percent on the close.
The spread on Italy's equivalent bond also reached the highest since the 1999 launch of the euro, before falling back somewhat. Portugal's bond yields, which soared last week, eased slightly but remained near record highs of 7 percent.
"Ireland's bailout package has clearly failed to stop the rot in the eurozone markets and if anything it has focused attention on other countries in the periphery," said Mitul Kotecha, analyst at Credit Agricole CIB.
The continued market turmoil "will come as a bitter blow to European officials who had hoped that it would help to turn sentiment around," he said.
Jose Manuel Campo, economy secretary at the Spanish finance ministry, sought to ease tensions and described the market reaction as "disproportionate."
"It's not necessarily worrying," he told a parliamentary commission but added that it would be of concern if it continued for some time as it would then make loans to the public more expensive.
He said investors' lack of confidence "is poorly justified and based on a short term analysis," pointing out that there were major differences between Spain and Greece, Ireland or Portugal.
Spain and Portugal, deemed the next weakest links in the eurozone economy, have continually denied they will need outside help but investors have become increasingly skeptical that the series of bailouts will stop.
At the heart of the problem is that the austerity measures these countries need to take to reduce their deficits threaten to backfire by weakening economic growth and hurting state revenues. That is what's happening in Greece, which has been able to drastically cut its spending but is struggling to raise tax income as economic and corporate activity wilts.
"It is clear that the market is aware of the tightrope that 'peripheral' governments are walking," said Neil Mellor, currency strategist at Bank of New York Mellon.
Portugal's central bank warned Tuesday that the financial system is facing "serious challenges," as foreign concerns about public, private and corporate debt have made it harder for Portuguese banks to raise money on international markets.
Continuing to request financing from the European Central Bank is "unsustainable," the bank warned, saying banks should adopt a commercial policy of encouraging saving to ensure their liquidity.
While rescuing Portugal would be about as costly as Greece or Ireland, who each represent less than 2 percent of the eurozone economy, a Spanish bailout would test the limits of Europe's finances. It accounts for over a tenth of the eurozone economy, and Italy is even larger.
Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has vigorously defended the nation's economy and finances. He blames the bond market problems on speculators looking to make money on Spain in the short term and said they would be proven wrong.
But former Spanish premier Felipe Gonzalez, who chairs an EU Reflection Group that analyzes the bloc's future, felt the ECB could help by boosting money into the economy the way the Federal Reserve does.
He warned that if Europe did not get ahead of the markets, the cases of Ireland and Greece would be repeated and in the end the entire 27-nation group would be contaminated.

Karl Mark Cooper helped found the +me support group in May 2008, and it is based at The Core, County Way.
A trustee of +me, David Allen, of Gawber Road, said Karl deserved the award for going 'the extra mile' to help people living with HIV.
He said: "He set up the group with a vision to transform Barnsley's response to HIV, providing fresh thinking, expertise and practical resources.
"The organisation +me champions the rights of people living with HIV and campaigns for change.
"He believes in a world in which people living with HIV are treated as equal with respect, dignity and receive the highest standards of care."
Karl has provided training to several hundred students at the college and wider community which David said has enhanced people's understanding of the facts about HIV and living with HIV in Barnsley.
He added: "He continues his work at '+me' for the eradication of HIV related stigma and discrimination."Karl Cook, an employee for +me is also championing Karl Cooper's work.
He said: "Over the last few years Karl and his team of volunteers support around 104 people living with or affected by HIV, often going that extra mile manning information stands or deliver training throughout Barnsley."

If you have a new baby and have discovered that your baby is unable to sleep due to colic, then you know how valuable something that will stop this can be. There is nothing worse than trying to meet your new additions needs when you are sleep deprived yourself. This can become frustrating, especially if this is your first child.
There is a solution: The Miracle Blanket. This blanket has been specially designed for children who suffer from colic. This blanket is crafted from 100 percent cotton knit and constructed in a way that will help it last. There are no fasteners, Velcro or buttons to deal with that could potentially harm your little one. The easy to use flaps will simply fold into their proper place and then wrap the baby up snuggle to ensure a great night's sleep.
The care instructions are included and chances are once you receive the Miracle Blanket, you will wonder how you ever made it without it. Even if you just have a baby on the way, this blanket is one you should have on hand, just in case you need it.
The blanket spreads out about 6 feet wide and has dual flaps located in the center on each side for your baby's arms to fit into before wrapping. There is no Velcro, buttons, or snaps on the blanket that could rub on the baby or potentially snap off. This is a great feature as it helps to prevent your baby from scratching themselves.
The Miracle Swaddling Blanket is made of the best and most durable cotton knit making it extra soft, durable, and warm! Its durability will allow you to wash it over and over while still maintaining its softness, functionality, and most importantly, its ability to keep your baby warm. In addition to the dual arm flaps, the soft material clings to itself so you don't have to worry about the baby wiggling out of it. So why not give your child the VIP treatment they deserve? With this blanket, parents and babies sleep soundly throughout the night.
It is recommended to machine wash in cold water and dry on a delicate cycle. The blanket itself weighs about 9 ounces and overall dimensions are 72 x 24 inches.

It's important look at the histogram on the LCD display when shooting photographs with your digital camera. This is especially true when you are shooting in a contrasty lighting situation like the one illustrated by the attached image. There are dark values in the clouds and mountains, and brilliant highlights in the snow-capped mountains.
Using the program settings like shutter priority or aperture priority, the camera tends to underexpose because it sees so many bright values in the sky, which is taking up two-thirds of the image.
What to do? Use the exposure compensation function, and open up the exposure until the highlight values come close to, but do not touch the right edge of the histogram. Now both the dark areas and the highlights have detail in them. Here's the histogram once that adjustment was made.
For more information on this, and other photography tips, check out my blog at ABetterPhotograph.com.

Hi, when I enter the items in the sales order, it says "Pricing Error: Mandatory pricing PR00 is missing"
I also entered PR00 manually, but still gives the same error. I assigned PR00 for the materials through vk11, still not working. How do I fix it?
I would appreciate stp-by-step procedure.
Rewards will be given.
Go to ur Pricing Procedure,Unclick the Mandotory Feild against PR00.
Mostly U r Using std Pricing procedure.
Hi HK7,
dear friend, please follow the steps as suggested:
(1) maintain condition record in VK11 with access sequence as item condition control in vok0 & maintain access sequence
if it does not work, please specify the error that you are facing or send me the screen shot at
vikas chhabra
It should not give the same error when you enter the PR00 -- Price at the Line Item level manually.
Is the manually entered price accepted ?
After saving is it giving the same error ?
Hi hk7
If you are using the reference of a quotation then you would have not put in a valid to date in it. Because the system would not determine the pricing if there is no valid date and this error normally occurs because of that.
Check the condition record which you have created.
1. Check your pricing procedure assignment. You can check the same through VOK0
2. Check the pricing procedure which is assigneed to your customer pricing procedure and document pricing procedure.
3. Check the condition type PR00 and see for the acces sequence.
4. Check the Access sequence for the condition tables (acceses ) which is associated with it.
5. Maintain the condition record through VK11, for the required access.
All these can be done through VOK0.
Check all these and let us know...
First thing is in Condition tab page check the Analysis of pricing procedure for condition type PR00.
Here check which access sequence are used and whatever condition record you have maintained is getting picked up by system or not.If it is miising then it will show Condition record is miising.Check the access values from analysis and again maintain the record,
Second thing is check the validity period of your condition record.
Third is check the document currency if it is maintained in customer master.
These are most probable causes for this kind of standard error.
Reward points if useful

A Bittersweet Homecoming at Ground Zero
By RANDAL C. ARCHIBOLD
Published: December 24, 2002
The Christmas lights twinkle in the windows of her apartment at 125 Cedar Street, a glittering white curtain that hides the present and evokes the past.
Elena del Rivero strung them up a couple of weeks ago in her eighth-floor loft overlooking ground zero. She wanted to celebrate the season and, after 15 months of endless delay and cleaning and anxiety, she wanted to herald her return to the building she and her fellow tenants fled after the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.
But the lights are not solely festive. They prevent Ms. Del Rivero from staring out at what she euphemistically calls ''this'' -- the deep void, the churning construction machinery, the blaring stadium lights, the memories of the nearly 3,000 lost souls across the street.
And she hopes they satisfy a longing for what was, the glittering 110-story giants whose office windows cast a welcome, entrancing glow in her living room. She plans to keep the Christmas lights up year-round.
''I didn't want to see outside so much,'' Ms. Del Rivero, an artist, said the other day as movers hauled her belongings back into her apartment. ''I wanted to have the light like we had before, from the towers. ''
After 15 months, it is finally time to return to 125 Cedar Street, to live day to day, side by side, with ground zero, in a neighborhood at once strange and familiar.
The residents of the squat turn-of-the-century loft building confront their return with a welter of emotions -- anxiety, sadness, joy, longing for the past, but mainly relief. Many had shuffled from one temporary apartment to the next, adrift in a city focused on the dead. They entered protracted negotiations with their landlord, and later city and state environmental officials, over the cleaning of the building.
The residents shoveled out reams of papers and building parts blown into their spaces when the planes hit and the towers fell. But most of the apartments, especially those with north-facing windows overlooking Liberty Street, were coated in a fine ash, in some cases several inches thick. Many residents threw out furniture and clothes they deemed hopelessly contaminated, and the dozen artists who live in the building sought to have their damaged works restored, with mixed results.
The building was finally declared safe for habitation on Nov. 16, but the landlord and the tenants have had to patch walls, ceilings and floors damaged by emergency workers, contractors and a series of plumbing failures. There is still no phone service. Some residents say their apartments will not be ready until next month, though some pushed to get in before Christmas.
All but a few tenants in the 23-unit building plan to return, but being home, they are learning, does not ease all their anxiety about returning to a site charged with emotion and under scrutiny from city planners and developers, not to mention tourists.
Despite an assurance to the contrary from the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, the residents cannot help wonder if the building will ultimately be condemned in the name of redevelopment. Rumors circulate that the heavily damaged Deutsche Bank skyscraper next door, draped in black protective netting, will have to be demolished, though a company spokeswoman said its fate had not been determined.
And there is the effect on the psyche, the tinge of sadness that comes from living so close to where so many died. The lingering fears over whether the air is truly safe.
An electric air filter hums in Gail Langsner's living room on the 12th floor. She moved back last week, and spent an angst-filled first night.
''I was lying there thinking, Is the air toxic? Have I been a fool?'' said Ms. Langsner, who runs a parrot-care service from her apartment and had fled the collapsing towers with several birds.
Michael Mulhern, a painter on the ninth floor, has moved almost all of his artwork and belongings back in. But he has yet to spend the night for reasons he cannot articulate.
''It's been such a long time,'' he said. ''Maybe I'm a little nervous.''
Peter Wheelwright, Eliza Hicks and their three children moved back yesterday. But not before they renovated part of their apartment. It would have been difficult to return to the same old place, Ms. Hicks said, with memories of Sept. 11.
''Coming back now,'' she said, ''feels like a fresh start.''
Nobody, not the residents, the landlord or city officials, has an easy explanation for why it has taken so long.
For several months after Sept. 11, police refused access to the building but for brief visits. Then came protracted negotiations over how thoroughly the apartments should be cleaned. The federal Environmental Protection Agency, which had not had standards for indoor air quality in residential buildings, developed strict standards.
The City Department of Environmental Protection carried out the cleanup, using the E.P.A.'s standards and guidelines. It has now cleaned and tested 813 apartments in Lower Manhattan, but Christopher O. Ward, the commissioner, called 125 Cedar the worst.
''Here, we had this building that was sort of the poster child for debris and damage,'' he said.

NAVIGON guides drivers to LPG and biodiesel filling stations in Europe
With NAVIGON "LPG and biodiesel filling stations" drivers will find more than 18,000 filling stations in 20 European countries. The add-on can now be downloaded from NAVIGON Fresh.
Hamburg, 17 November 2010 – Following a resolution by the German federal government the proportion of biofuel in conventional fuel will increase from 1 January 2011. Instead of five per cent, fuel is set to contain ten per cent bioethanol.1 With a new list of special destinations, NAVIGON is helping drivers to drive more environmentally friendly. "NAVIGON LPG and biodiesel filling stations" displays 18,000 corresponding POIs in 20 European countries.2 "With this service, drivers will always have plenty of low-emission fuel in their tanks," says Jörn Watzke, vice-president of Product Line Management at NAVIGON. Since LPG vehicles have a relatively limited range, it is particularly important that their owners know where to find the nearest fuel pump. With the filling station guide NAVIGON is helping drivers to be environmentally aware and is contributing to the proliferation of alternative propulsion technologies.
LPG and biofuel filling stations displayed as a symbol on the map

It's pretty much in 24 hours, but it's been one year... and 10k posts. It's been fun, started with much flaming but eventually calmed down around August and I had my little era of glory Anyways, I'll make this post long enough, haha. Just to mess with people =D
Yea, eras. My own useless eras. =]
Era1~ just joined. A traditional newb, not spacing after punctuation, using crappy stuff like kewl... you follow. PD was the first forum I posted A LOT on, I think I started on PUK Comments Boards and MORLORD [=o]. I got banned from Morlord, I think, and WARNED ON POKEREALM =O At this time I quadruple-posted, used netspeak, etc. I was really crappy in English and didn't understand half of what people told me =P Not my era of glory, but I did nothing wrong. It lasted about a week. Then came Era 2.
Era2~ Misc. Posting Start. It's there that the flaming started, I was really crappy and can dig up some of my old posts for your own enjoyment. But the flaming wasn't that bad, I even took Mario [who flamed his ass out of me whichever thread I entered] as a friend. XD This one lasted for April and part of May.
Era3~ 1k, Hail Me. I was immensely proud of my 1000 posts and thought "I'm 10. Not 9." and started flaming about EVERY newb that joined, except those I liked, and they were not many. I still got flamed in Misc. and randomly warned by Pikatwo in the newbie boards. Lasted until end of June.
Era4~ Because No Computer For A Week Can Leave A Forum Addict Traumatized And Immensely Bored! -- Don't be fooled, I wasn't traumatized. And it was more at the beggining of July.
But I was somehow addicted to PD like a random teenager with ripped clothes is to pot. I couldn't stand that week. I started my MSN BLOG this week, to whine about how the week was boring! =O Random era inserted, it was only for a week or two.
Era5~ Lol, Posts. -- I was crazy at that time, I remember making 100 posts a day a couple of times. Of course, Eve did better, but even then. I was on SUMMER BREAK people. And had no friends at the time, was picked on and such last year. Now I'm considered as a 'leader' and have a couple of awesome friends. Anywho, It lasted until end of August and at that very time the flaming calmed down. Came Era6.
Era6~ The Balance. -- I was sort of between a newb and a regular at that time, don't know how that's possible. I still acted newbish but at least didn't run in people's thread and shout "SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIXTY-NIIIIIIIIIINE!!!!" because i saw it in the title of Eve's 15/20k thread and didn't even know what it meant. =P Lasted about a month and a half...
Era7~ As You Know Me Now. -- Yeah. About around October I stopped using caps all the time [I do now because this is a speshul thread] and acting stupid. I actually thought more of my posts and stopped RPing a bit.
Era8~ More RPing, now. most prolly don't care but I got back into RPing at about December, made 3 RPs in three months, plus one being a compilation [-Mixx-, check it out if you're a RPer! ;]] of them all. Generation Splice does rock, it made it to 12 Pages in I think a month... My best RP up to date.
No wai. Also a couple of rants and threads I could've made in the past days.
=My Camp
No one knew, but I went to a sort of winter camp for thursday and friday. It was pretty fun, though I'd like to mention the Pillows, more like bags of Flour, ultremely flat. Our animator was pretty funny too, and funny I mean I LOL'D, not "poop pee ass HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
But what I want to tell you is the wondrous legend [false and funny] that he told all. And one of the OTHER Animators, who for their part mimed the legend, MADE A JOKE ON FALL OUT BOY. =D it's in my sig. Full story;
They were miming horribly, I think it's the part when they said that in antic greece the mcdonalds bag were people xD So the guy tried to lift another guy supposed to be his bag, can't do it and suddenly shouts; "I feel like I'm in a bad Fall Out Boy videoclip", which is true because most FOB videos are horrible =P. CLASSY, MISTER, CLASSY! ... Maybe you didn't laugh. It's the shock, like the penis bomb, that made it funny [actually I expected the penis bomb more than a FOB joke.].
=People I Miss.
Because they're a lot. CA, MyuuMaster and RV, notably =[
=The Fact That TheUnown5 Has More Rep than Me, Walrus and Chrizz.
