Eating too many cookies in place of lunch. Watching TV instead of working out in the evening. Texting while driving on your way to work. Bad habits? You betcha! Rising at 6 a.m. for a five-mile run. Sending out follow-up emails after meetings. Politely remembering the birthdays of your employees. Good habits? Absolutely!
As we all know, it's much easier to make a habit than to break one. And that's a good thing, because habits can help us function more efficiently. Instead of having to use conscious thought every time we perform recurring tasks, our brains file away the specific sequences of actions necessary to reach the desired results and set them in motion when necessary. And by using these specific sets of actions over and over, our brains can run partially on automatic pilot while dedicating conscious attention to other actions or thoughts. For example, as soon as your alarm sounds in the morning, you're rehearsing a presentation you're giving at work. But in the meantime, you've reached over and turned off the alarm clock without thinking about it! Or you get home from work and immediately call your friend to discuss your promotion... but you got out of your car and locked it, walked to the front door, unlocked and opened it without consciously thinking about those actions.
Whether they're good or bad, we've all developed habits without even realizing it. But did you know that you can teach yourself how to form good habits—ones that help you become healthier and more productive and a better colleague?
Habits Explained
Habits good and bad are formed when an activity yields a result we perceive as rewarding. The memory of the reward and the desire to repeat the feeling motivate us to repeat that activity until it becomes automatic. And that's not a problem … unless we want to change that habit. When we consciously try to change, our brain interprets that endeavor as threatening and will do pretty much anything to keep up the automatic actions in order to be rewarded.
But here's the good news: You don't have to break old habits to form new ones. In fact, according to Psychology Today, instead of trying to break unwanted habits, you should focus on creating new patterns of behavior and thinking to "muscle out" the bad habits.
Forming New Habits
To create new, desired habits, all you have to do is consciously associate a trigger with performing actions that bring you a feeling of reward. Then repeat the trigger-action sequence a number of times until your brain starts to expect the good feeling associated with it.
So let's take a closer look at habits that can help you become more successful.
Exercise not only keeps you fit but also makes you more relaxed and clears your mind. Calmness and clarity are both helpful attributes at work. So if you want to start exercising more, set your alarm (the trigger) an hour earlier than usual and make yourself get up. Exercise for half an hour or so (the action), and your body will release endorphins that make you feel good (the reward). The next few days, you'll still need the alarm and a conscious decision to get up and start moving. But after about a week or so of performing this morning ritual (repetition), your body will start to expect to feel good in the morning when you hear the alarm and rising early to work out will become habitual.
Or maybe you want to keep track of your accomplishments at work so you can measure your career progress. At the end of every week, set an alarm in your scheduler. No matter how tired you are and how much you want to go home, take a few minutes to list your achievements of the week. By reviewing them, you'll start to feel good about your work and look forward to your private end-of-week review. Soon, you could even be working harder to feel even better about your progress.
You can apply this method to teach yourself as many good, success-building habits as you like. Here are just a few suggestions:
Training your brain for success might be one of the most important career skills you ever learn. Decide which actions would benefit you and your career, and create processes you can repeat. Before long, working for success won't be a conscious thought anymore; it'll be a habit!

This benefited greatly from a little decanting. I picked up ripe berries, plum, and spice. Very tasty
Smooth and fruity, there are no flaws in this excellent value wine. Not quite enough complexity to rate it a 90, but I will be buying more of this one.

While the VP of The USA is president of the Senate, the Constitutional fact remains - the House Speaker is 2nd in line to fill the office of the presidency if something happened that prevented the president from conducting the resonsibilities of his office. In that case, the VP of The USA and House Speaker are next in line to be president.
Thus, communist Harry Reid should #$%$. Rightfully so, the House of Reps is poised to lay the inept and useless senate to waste !
God bless John Boehner, only 2 heartbeats away from becoming the Chief protector of The USA Constitution.
The reason the Senate has so much power is that there are fewer idiots to convince of a voting direction. The rule that one house has to 'reconcile' a bill from the other house before it can be passed is just plain inefficient and stupid. When a bill in introduced it should go through both for agreement before it is voted upon, not rewritten after one house passes it. They are supposed to be working for the good of the people and country, not their own little fiefdom and publicity stunts for an upcoming election.
The group that has been in Congress for the past six years is approaching being the worst in history.
"The rule that one house has to 'reconcile' a bill from the other house before it can be passed is just plain inefficient and stupid."
It's not stupid. The pathology between the House and senate is Constitutional. The House makes the laws (writes bills). The senate can try to embelish the bill and send it back to the House. The House has been waiting on a response from the inept senate since last spring season, 2012.
Good post no matter your political leanings. The #$%$ who wants to "god bless john boehner" only shows how stupid some people on this board truly are.

After Easter, Jesus continued to minister on this planet for another 40 days before He ascended into Heaven. During that time, he opened the disciple's eyes. He opened their minds to understand scripture. And, most importantly, after Easter he gave His church the Great Commission. With this new mission for the church, he tells each of us to go tell the world, to go make disciples, to go serve, and to go share God's love. During this time after easter, Jesus also gave us a promise - to be with us always, as we go. This video will make a great illustration for preaching on the Great Commission the week after easter.
With powerful music and graphics, this intense Easter worship intro illustrates Jesus' suffering of the cross and His death on Good Friday. But, that's not the end of the story. The climax of the video exclaims the amazing resurrection of Christ.

Two disciples reflect on walking and talking with Jesus on the Road to Emmaus after His resurrection. They might bicker and take a few rabbit trails as they remember that day, but the burning in their hearts lives on. Great for Easter Sunday or the Sunday after.
Launch your Easter service elements with this inspirational short-film, and set the tone for the only Story that offers true Hope.
By sending Jesus, God stepped into this broken world in human form. And through His sacrifice, He wiped clean our old story and started writing a new one. It's a story of redemption and forgiveness. It's our life story. It's His story. It's a resurrection story. Perfect for Easter Sunday as a worship intro, sermon illustration, or closing benediction.
This energetic worship introduction is perfect for Palm Sunday or any time during the Easter season. Scripture verses from Zechariah, Matthew & Isaiah blend with stylized low-poly artwork depicting Jerusalem, Jesus riding on a donkey, palm branches, and ultimately the cross, pointing to salvation. Hosanna to the King of Kings!
Remind your community that the power of the resurrection is the same power that can help them to overcome loss, defeat, doubt, and death. Perfect for Easter Sunday, and designed to work with our Easter Invite video, Good News (hyperlink to video).
As Holy Week begins, "Hosanna" is the cry of our hearts. Today, we worship a triumphant Messiah. A Savior willing to give everything to redeem our eternity. Today, we worship Jesus!
Featuring Jesus' words to His followers (and to us) after the cross and resurrection, this Easter Sunday video serves as a companion to On the Cross, a Good Friday video displaying Jesus' last words before His death.
This dark, reflective mini movie simply displays Jesus' last words on the cross. A good fit for a Good Friday service. It also serves as a companion to the Easter Sunday mini movie After the Cross.
On Palm Sunday, Jesus rode a donkey toward the gates of Jerusalem while crowds of people were waving palm branches and shouting, "Hosanna". But, the Pharisees were angry and told Jesus, "Quiet your people down." Jesus replied, "If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out." This Palm Sunday, encourage your congregation to "cry out" to Hosanna! Encourage your congregation to worship the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Prepare your people to worship Jesus in spirit and in truth.
We can all relate to that "I have to tell someone!" feeling we get when we receive exciting news. Good News is not only an encouragement to invite others to experience Easter Sunday with your community, but it also works year-round as a reminder of the Great Commission.
Start your Easter Celebration with this call to worship and reflect on all that changed when Christ rose from the grave.
Sin had left us for dead. It had separated us from God and stolen our Hope. But God loved us. Through Jesus, sin has been conquered, death has been defeated and hope has been restored. The grave is empty, the stone has been rolled away…Hope has risen!
Muerte a través de Adán, vida por medio de Cristo. La historia del descenso y redención de la humanidad. Also available in English.
Death through Adam, life through Christ. The story of humanity's descent and redemption. Also available in Spanish.
We all know what happens to Jesus after the crowd chooses him for crucifixion. But rarely do we consider what happened to Barabbas. Watch this interpretation of what Barabbas must have been contending with.
We can all get so busy and self-absorbed, that we overlook the hurting people all around us who need to be introduced to Jesus. Easter is a very special time, when the unchurched are open to accepting an invite to visit your church. Use this powerful video to remind your congregation about the need to invite their family, friends, and neighbors to your church's Easter Services. This Easter invite video will make a great introduction to a sermon about the great commission,evangelism, or outreach.
Lazarus missed Palm Sunday. Watch as Mary and Lazarus talk about what the day was like….the day that the King of Kings rode through Jerusalem on a donkey.
Scripture is the centerpiece of this powerful video, taking us from the cross to the grave to the resurrection. It's time to celebrate and remember the work of Jesus, the gift of grace and the incredible mercy given to us by the Father. He is not here…He is risen!
What if love was greater than the darkest night? This colorfully illustrated mini movie asks us to reflect on the reality that God's love for us in Christ truly is far greater than any darkness, pain, or loss we might experience in this life.
As Jesus spent 40 days in the desert praying and fasting, let us follow his lead during the season of Lent with self-denial, repentance, giving, and renewal. This video uses powerful images and music to remind your congregation of God's love and sacrifice, which should encourage each of us to deny self and make God first place in our lives. Prepare your congregation for the celebration and sacrifice of Lent.
We are undeserving, yet God has loved us. We are unworthy, yet He has shown us mercy. God changed our eternity through the gift of His Son. Because of Jesus, we have a future as bright as Heaven. This is love, this is mercy…This is grace.
Jesus' resurrection was not the end of his ministry. He continued to meet with and teach His disciples. And, more importantly, he gave the church it's mission (the Great Commission). On the Sunday after easter, remind your church of the power that we have been given because of Jesus' resurrection. But, also remind them of the purpose and mission that Jesus gave to all who choose to call Him 'LORD'. Use this video the week after easter or any time that you are preaching on the Great Commission, outreach, and evangelism.
After His resurrection, Jesus gave the disciples the Great Commission. He assured them of His power, promised them His unending presence, and urged them to accept the call to go into the world and make new disciples. Based on Matthew 28:18-20, this mini-movie is great for the Sunday after Easter.
Welcome newcomers to your church this Easter with this fun and upbeat mini-movie. A creative way to make guests feel comfortable and communicate who you are as a church and what you believe.
Days before he will be crucified, Jesus entered Jerusalem. The events of this week will change the world. This is Palm Sunday. This is Jesus.
Beginning with Jesus' prediction of His crucifixion and continuing through His thoughts on the cross, His death, burial and resurrection, this Easter mini-movie takes the viewer on an emotional journey from Good Friday to Easter. Taken from Luke 9:22, Luke 22:42, Luke 23:34, and Luke 24:5-7.
With powerful music and contemporary graphics, this mini-movie tells the story of Good Friday. We are moved to worship, as we remember that Jesus endured incredible suffering and death on the cross as the punishment for our sin. This video will make a great opening or worship intro for your Good Friday Services or for a message on the passion (or sufferings) of Christ. Let the story of Good Friday inspire your congregation to worship Jesus.
On Palm Sunday, the multitude anticipated His arrival. They cut down palm branches and placed them on His path. They cried out, "Hosanna in the highest!" This Palm Sunday, encourage your congregation to sing to him "Hosanna" and cry to him "Blessed is He!" Use this contemporary worship intro video to prepare your church for worship on Palm Sunday.
Easter morning began as a day of sadness and weeping, when broken and confused followers mourned the death of Christ. But Jesus transformed it into a day of rejoicing, excitement, and worship by the power of his resurrection. Featuring beautiful and unique hand-drawn artwork, this victorious Easter worship intro sets a tone of energy and passion, culminating in a powerful declaration, "He is Risen – He is Risen Indeed!"
As Jesus approached Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, He wept over the city and the people gathered there. He knew that disaster awaited them because they did not recognize Him for who He truly was. Taken from Luke 19:41-44 and told from Jesus' point of view.
A deeply moving Easter video. Through the lens of the Triumphal Entry, The Cross, and the Garden, "Return of the King" is a powerful proclamation of the power of the resurrection. Long live the king!
How would you live if you knew you would rise? This Easter mini movie answers that question by showing us how Jesus lived during the week leading up to His death and resurrection. How will we live today?
Easter is all about God's redemptive plan for the world. Watch this moving piece that illustrates the life and death and resurrection of our Savior. When all hope seems lost, God enters and everything changes.
Inviting people to Easter Service is great, but you have to do it the right way. Watch as Don Calzone makes someone an offer they can't refuse.

BBC, By Simon Watts, December 21
Twenty years ago Paraguayan lawyer Martin Almada got a tip-off that would change his life and help expose a vast operation run by South American military dictators to crush their political opponents.
He had been searching for 15 years for documents that would enable him to prove he had been tortured by the military dictatorship of Gen Alfredo Stroessner in the 1970s – and that his wife had been forced to listen to recordings of his ordeal.
Now, three years after Stroessner's downfall, a woman on the other end of the phone was telling him she knew where to find them.
In fact, there were about 700,000 documents forming a complete record of the activities of the Paraguayan secret police over three decades – a cache that became known as the Archive of Terror.
For Almada, the papers would show doubters once and for all that he was telling the truth about his experiences as a prisoner in Paraguay between 1974 and 1977.

Regulators release public portions of resolution plans for smaller banks
By Bora Yagiz, Compliance Complete
NEW YORK, Jan. 16 (Thomson Reuters Accelus) – The Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) released the public portions of resolution plansfor 116 institutions that submitted plans for the first time in December 2013, a group comprising smaller banks affected by Dodd-Frank requirements for winding-up plans.
FDIC adds more flesh to "single point of entry" resolution plans, but questions remain
By Henry Engler, Compliance Complete
NEW YORK, Dec. 18 (Thomson Reuters Accelus) – The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, under mounting pressure from the industry for greater clarity, announced on Tuesday additional details on its "Single Point of Entry" resolution plans for failed banks.
The basic concept is to close the holding company of a failed firm, and transfer its healthy subsidiaries into a new bridge institution that could be managed while the resolution of the defunct company proceeds. Shareholders would be wiped out under the plan, while unsecured creditors could seek equity claims as a means to recapitalize the new institution. Should the subsidiaries require liquidity to operate, they would borrow from the bridge, which in turn may borrow from an "orderly liquidation fund" funded by the U.S. Treasury. (more…)

U.S. regulators' Basel III rules package signals intent to maintain momentum in big-bank reforms
By Bora Yagiz
NEW YORK, July 17 (Thomson Reuters Accelus) – In a move considered to be the most complete overhaul of U.S. bank capital standards since Basel I in 1988, three U.S. banking regulators (the Federal Reserve Board, Office of Comptroller of the Currency, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) have finalized the three Basel III-related notices of proposed rulemaking (NPRs) from 2012 on capital rules.
Basel paper offers new look at bail-in models for ailing institutions
By Bora Yagiz, Compliance Complete
NEW YORK, June 12 (Thomson Reuters Accelus) – A recent Bank for International Settlements (BIS) quarterly review article attempts to solve the too-big-to-fail (TBTF) problem without causing systemic disruption to financial markets, by offering a new resolution template to recapitalize banks on the verge of bankruptcy. It may, however, inadvertently legitimize a de facto bail-in model against the consent of depositors, and put their money at risk.
First wave of U.S. living wills has limitations, but offers useful start
By Bora Yagiz
NEW YORK, July 9 (Thomson Reuters Accelus) – The "living will" resolution plans submitted to U.S. regulators by nine big banks last week suffer from a number of limitations, including narrow scenarios of financial distress and an assumption that regulators will be coordinated in their approach. But there will be plenty of opportunity to perfect the blueprints.
Regulatory round-up — U.S. rules to know in 2012
By Nick Paraskeva
NEW YORK, Dec. 16 (Thomson Reuters Accelus) – Several recently adopted rules in the U.S. are going into effect for specific types of firms in 2012. These rules include ones released by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Commodity Futures Trading Commission and Federal Reserve, issued to implement the Dodd-Frank Act and as a response to market developments.
from Christopher Whalen:
Did the FDIC really kill the repo market?
Back in April 2011, Jim Bianco penned a commentary, "Why The Federal Reserve May Have A Hard Time Raising Rates." He argued that the increase in the FDIC insurance assessment rate for large banks adds to bank funding costs, and thus offsets the impact of Fed ease. Bianco and others infer a roughly 15bp tax or "wedge" on money market assets is created by the FDIC assessment rule. By way of reference, the Fed's target band for fed funds is 0 to 25bp but has been at low end of this range for months.

I am a sucker for a savory scone or muffin! These were delish! Thanks for sharing!
Very easy and delicious! I took Mille's advice and put apricot jam on one and it was great! These will definitely be a keeper to have with soups and for snacks.

|If you're like me... you've been wondering how and why it's possible for a humanoid to outrun rabbits, deer, wolves, etc. Well wonder no more!

Some schools and colleges are cutting fees and tuition to attract students, but education costs are still high. When I went to college, my tuition and fees averaged about $500 per year plus another $500 for books. Today, you're looking at 10 times those costs—or more. Financial aid is critical to help cover those costs.
What is the FAFSA?
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is an application used by colleges, universities and private schools to help evaluate a student's financial need. The whole process is done online. You can start an application and save it, adding information as you go along.
Generally, the information provided is that of the parent. However, once the student gets married or turns 23, only the student's own household finances are considered.
To determine whether to use your own financial information or that of your parents, the FAFSA provides a tidy questionnaire. The fact that your parents are not helping you with your education costs is irrelevant; you must still provide their financial data. However, if you absolutely have no contact with them, you can provide evidence and use your own data. Naturally, getting this verified will take longer, so file early.
When must you file?
Each state has different due dates, as does each educational institution. You can find the information in the right-hand column of this FAFSA document. However, the earlier you file, the better. Some scholarship or aid programs issue their awards early in the year, first-come-first-served. Most sharp students try to file in January or February.
What information will you need?
You will want to start with both parents' tax return data and the student's tax return. Naturally, this data won't be ready in January, but you will have the key W-2 and 1099 information. Have the tax pros make estimates of the other income and routine deductions. Indicate in the FAFSA application that this is estimated information. When the actual tax returns are filed, you can update the FAFSA database—the differences should not be significant. If there are major differences, be sure to offer an explanation for the higher or lower income. It may be wise to contact your financial aid office or officer about any major changes.
You may also have to research information about Sec 529 Plans or Qualified Tuition Programs (QTPs). Some or all of those assets might have to be included as part of the student's assets, depending on who controls the account (parent, student, other family member). So read the instructions on that carefully, and be very careful about the information you do enter.
Take your time with the application. Contact the school's financial aid office with your specific questions early in the year. Make sure you only include assets and income that are relevant to your application. Above all, be truthful. Don't worry—you'll get better at this each year!

We did the bottomless brunch, which comes with your choice of different kinds of bellinis. The bellinis didn't really taste like much other than prosecco, except for the watermelon one. The watermelon Bellini tasted like an artificial flavoring.

does anyone know when the new batch of skulls release this year ??
From gordon @ BiG
Hi Jake,
At the moment we
does anyone know when the new batch of skulls release this year ??
IMO, yes. They look like they've hardly been worn.
Does anyone have fit pics on a pair of 5507xx
Just tried on my skulls after not wearing them for a long time. They feel pretty baggy compared to what they used to be since i've been working out all summer and lost a ton of weight. Any advice to make them fit like they used to? like maybe a soak or something?
i eat boxes
tke, tke, tke ,tke , TKE TKE TKE!!
Yeah man.
So...where can I get a pair of Skulls and how do I size in comparison to APC PS?
Where can I get a pair of skulls 5010xx?
And in comparison to APC PS, how do I size?

Cy Vance has been Manhattan D.A. for three months now, and he hasn't dragged any mobsters to jail with one hand while waving an American flag with the other, so the Post's Andrea Peyser thinks he's a pussy.
"Folks inside and outside 1 Hogan Place can't help but wonder if he's up to the job," she informs us. Also, defense attorneys admire him as "one of their own," when they should regard him with "fear and awe," like on TV shows. Once these defenders start making goo-goo eyes at Vance, we may infer, he'll start turning their clients loose, plunging the city into chaos.
Also, Vance has according to Peyser an "agenda heavy on justice but decidedly light on the criminal part." For instance, he wants to find and toss wrongful convictions. "Isn't that job for defense attorneys?" she asks. D.A.s are supposed to fight to keep wrongfully convicted people in jail. That's how you get a reputation for toughness, like former Westchester DA Jeanine Pirro's, which is serving her well on her TV court show. Doesn't Vance want some kind of entertainment career after this?
Peyser also accuses the D.A. of "amateur gaffes." She names one: "He scheduled a fund-raiser at Eliot Spitzer's place, then canceled after the madam who provided the Love Gov with whores threatened to turn the soiree into a circus." That doesn't seem like much, and it compares favorably to the many unseemly donations our own Wayne Barrett found Vance's Democratic tough-on-crime primary opponent Leslie Crocker-Snyder received during her campaign. But in fairness to Peyser, there was no Love Gov connection in those cases.
We suspect Peyser's real beef is that Vance was "not on the streets of Harlem during the crack epidemic... but in the espresso bars of Seattle." Probably smoking cigarettes, too. Also: "I reached out to Vance, but he could not get back to me."

Entrepreneurship is 80% sales and marketing
Background in business is a 'nice to have', not a 'must have' for an aspiring entrepreneur. I had no solid business background when I founded Mollom or Acquia (I launched them roughly at the same time).
Other than the standard things (an idea, passion and the willingness to act), the most important thing that aspiring entrepreneurs need is the understanding that 80% of entrepreneurship is sales and marketing. If as a founder, you're not obsessed with sales and marketing, you're a liability rather than an asset.
You don't have to be the best sales and marketing guy (I am far from that), but you better enjoy getting other people excited about your project, company or product. It will help you not only with finding customers, but also with recruiting a world-class team, raising venture capital, and more. So if there is one thing you should learn before starting a company, it is "sales and marketing" (in the broad sense) — and you better be passionate about it, because you'll invest years of your life to selling and evangelizing to make your company a success. Without customers or a team, you won't need any other skills, because you'll be out of business.
You need to be talking about your idea all the time. Too many entrepreneurs believe that if they build a killer product, customers will come. It almost never works like that. Smart entrepreneurs do it backwards; they find customers first and build their product only when they have customers ready to start paying. Not testing the market by selling from day one can lead to months, if not years, of wasted time and money. So stop being so secretive about your idea. You will never find your product-market fit by keeping your idea secret until it is perfect. If you're afraid of people telling you that your idea is stupid, chances are you may not be ready to be an entrepreneur.
Do well and do good
This blog post is on purpose, Open Source, profit and pie. This week I had an opportunity to meet Professor Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum. I was inspired by the following comment he made (not his exact words):
"Because companies strive to have a positive balance sheet, they take more in, than they give out. However, as individuals, we define success as giving more than you take. Given that many of us are leaders as individuals *and* also leaders in our businesses, we often wrestle with these opposing forces. Therein lies the leadership challenge."
I've seen many Open Source developers struggle with this as they are inherently wired to give back more than they take. Open Source developers often distrust businesses, sometimes including their own employer, because they take more than they give back. They believe businesses just act out of greed and self-interest.
This kind of corporate distrust comes from the "fixed-pie concept"; that there is only so much work or resources to go around, and as pieces of the pie are taken by some, there is less left for everyone else. The reality is that businesses are often focused on expanding the pie. As the pie grows, there is more for everyone. It is those who believe in the "expanding-pie concept" who can balance the opposing forces. It is those who believe in the "fixed-pie concept" who worry about their own self-interests and distrust businesses.
Imagine a business that is born out of a desire to improve the world, that delivers real value to everyone it touches. A business that makes employees proud and where team members are passionate and committed. A business that aspires to do more than just turn a profit. A business that wants to help fuel a force of good. That is Acquia for me. That should be your employer for you (whoever your employer is).
The myth that profit maximization is the sole purpose of business is outdated, yet so many people seem to hold on to it. I started Acquia because I believed in the potential and transformative nature of Drupal and Open Source. The purpose of business is to improve our lives and create value for all stakeholders.
Acquia's growth and capital position has given me power and responsibility. Power and responsibility that has enabled me to give back more and grow the pie. I have seen the power that businesses have to improve the world by accelerating the power of good, even if they have to take more than they give. It's a story worth telling because business is not a zero-sum game with one winner. I believe Open Source companies are in a prime position to balance the opposing forces. We can do well and do good.
Acquia certification for Drupal
I'm proud to share that Acquia announced its certification program today. You can now get "Acquia certified in Drupal", something I'm pretty excited about.
This is something I've been hoping to see in the community. While there have been other experiments around certification, we as a community have lacked a way to ensure professional standards across Drupal. Over the years, I've heard the demand coming from partners and clients who need a way to evaluate the skills of people on their teams. More and more, that demand has drowned out any perceived criticisms of a certification for Drupal.
A good certification is not just a rubber stamp, but a way for people to evaluate their own abilities, and make plans for improving their knowledge. In some countries, certification is really important to create a career path (something I learned when visiting India). For these reasons, I feel Drupal's growth and development has been hindered without a formal certification in place.
The certification we've built is based on the combined years of experience among Acquia staff who oversee and manage thousands of Drupal sites. We've observed patterns in errors and mistakes; we know what works and what doesn't.
People have debated the pros and cons of software certifications for years (including myself), especially where it involves evaluating candidates for hire. Certainly no certification can be used in isolation; it cannot be used to evaluate a candidate's ability to perform a job well, to work in teams or to learn quickly. Certification can, however, provide a valuable data point for recruiters, and a way for developers to demonstrate their knowledge and stand out. It is undeniably valuable for people who are early in their Drupal career; being certified increases their chance to find a great Drupal job opportunity.
One of the biggest challenges for Drupal adoption has been the struggle to find qualified staff to join projects. Certification will be helpful to recruiters who require that job candidates have a good understanding of Drupal. There are many other aspects to recruitment for which certification does not provide a substitute; it is only one piece of the puzzle. However, It will provide organizations added confidence when hiring Drupal talent. This will encourage the adoption of Drupal, which in turn will grow the Drupal project.
The community has been talking about this need for a long time. One approach, Certified to Rock, evaluated an individual's participation and contribution in the Drupal community. Acquia's certification is different because we're assessing Drupal problem-solving skills. But the community needs more assessments and qualifications. I hope to see other providers come into this space.
Announcing Acquia Lift
Today, the web is not just about publishing content anymore. As the web evolves from content management to digital experience management, it's about understanding visitors' interests and preferences, and figuring out how to deliver them an optimal personalized experience. Many organizations are exploring ways to more effectively create and deliver valuable content to site visitors to increase traffic, conversions and revenue. Great content is still gold, but delivering the right content to the right user at the right moment in the right format is platinum.
Today's personalization tools aren't great and put marketers at a disadvantage. This is why I'm excited to announce that we're rolling out Acquia Lift, a solution that equips the site owners with powerful website testing and content targeting tools to optimize content for each visitor. Acquia Lift learns about a visitor's interests and, based on these insights, uses machine learning algorithms to automate the delivery of personalized content. Marketers and site builders can test content, for example using A/B or multivariate testing, and even add rules about the types of user profiles that get specific content. There is implicit learning that takes place as well that continuously helps Acquia Lift provide increasingly more appropriate content to individuals. Attributes of the user, such as location, and even what the current weather is, can be taken into account in providing the right content. Check out this short Acquia Lift video if you want to learn more or see Acquia Lift in action:
As I talked and wrote about earlier, I believe personalization and contextualization will be a critical building block of the future of the web, and I'm excited to help make that a reality.
Acquia retrospective 2013
As is now a tradition, here is my annual Acquia retrospective. Time to look back at 2013. In your life, you only get an opportunity to do so many things, so you have to focus on doing things that matter. I'm fortunate that Drupal and Acquia are remarkable stories. I take time to write these retrospectives for you and for me. I write them for you, because you might benefit from my experiences or from analyzing the information provided. But I also write them for myself so I don't forget this incredible journey. If you want, you can read previous retrospectives: 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.
For Acquia, 2013 was another excellent year. It was our fifth full year in business (i.e. revenue-generating year), and we finished the year with 19 consecutive quarters of revenue growth. In short, 2013 was a year of continued momentum, record bookings and great customer success. With five-year sales growth of more than 84,100 percent, Acquia was identified as the second fastest-growing company on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 in North America. Acquia was also listed among North America's fastest growing software companies in 2013's Inc. 500. We're all very proud of that.
We hired 208 people this year and ended the year with 412 employees, up from 280 employees at the end of last year. 337 employees are based in the US, with 197 in Burlington, 27 in Portland, and 113 remote employees. We employ 75 people outside of the US, 53 of which are based in our office in Reading, UK. In 2013, we almost doubled our headcount in the Reading and Portland offices. Additionally, we hired 31 interns in 2013.
Acquia grew its customer base to more than 4,000 organizations. Some of the brands we've added as customers include Intel Corporation, Polycom, News Corp Australia, Timex, the National Association of Realtors, the X PRIZE Foundation, Columbia University, McGraw Hill Financial, Bart.gov and the Red Cross.
In 2013, Acquia continued to be focused on providing Drupal support to our customers. We reached the milestone of 100,000 support requests received and resolved during our company lifespan. In 2013 alone, we resolved almost 32,000 customer service requests, up 30 percent from 2012. We invested a lot in scaling our support team and on improving overall customer satisfaction and responsiveness. For example, we created a dedicated customer onboarding team. The result is that we spent more time with our customers to better understand their needs and help solve their Drupal questions. In 2014, we'll continue to keep customer success front and center. It's something we are very passionate about.
With regards to Acquia's software products, it was certainly our busiest year. Not only did we continue to invest heavily in Acquia Cloud and Acquia Network, we also launched some new products. Acquia Commerce Cloud was unveiled last quarter, providing a platform for creating content-rich, socially enabled shopping experiences. Acquia Cloud Site Factory was also released, providing a platform for launching and managing hundreds of websites. We unveiled Drupal Commons 3.0, our Drupal-based community platform, that was identified a Social Platform leader by Forrester Research. And we delivered the general availability release of the Mollom Content Moderation Platform, a content moderation platform built for the enterprise.
The cloud continues to prove to be a great way for organizations to save money, manage websites more efficiently and bring them to market faster. And Drupal is no exception to this trend -- in 2013, many organizations decided to standardize on Drupal in a big way, moving away from the variety of different systems -- exactly the vision we laid out in 2010.
And the proof is in the numbers: Acquia Cloud grew from 4,300 AWS instances at the end of 2012 to 7,300 AWS instances at the end of 2013. In aggregate, we're now serving more than 22 billion hits a month or 319 TB of bandwidth. I believe that makes Acquia the largest Drupal infrastructure provider in the world. Some of the Acquia Cloud achievements I'm most proud of include hosting the Grammy Awards (462 million visits) and hosting Red Nose Day during their largest fundraising event ever (£75 million/$113 million raised in one night).
Drupal community and Acquia
In 2013, we continued our long track record of giving back to the larger Drupal community.
- We sponsored 77 Drupal events in 2013, helping thousands of Drupal developers connect and collaborate together.
- Our product teams sponsored work on numerous important community modules, such as Media, Organic Groups, and more …
- The authoring experience work for Drupal 8 that we started last year landed in core this year, including WYSIWYG and in-place editing. We also sponsored work on redesigned content creation page and an improved blocks UI for Drupal 8.
- Also on Drupal 8, we sponsored work on the Web Services and Migrate in Core initiatives, donating the Migrate module authors' time.
- We helped set up numerous process improvements to help streamline Drupal 8 core development, including various "hard problems" discussions at DrupalCons to work through complex issues, releasing monthly alpha releases for user and developer feedback, and laying out the criteria for beta 1. We've also helped establish communication channels to help promote what is happening in Drupal 8: the This Week In Core series, and the Drupal 8.0 landing page.
- We helped the Drupal Association to establish Drupal.org Working Groups to provide better leadership and transparency to the Drupal website. Some of our team also helped assist on Drupal.org upgrade and security issues.
I'm particularly proud of Acquia's contributions to Drupal. It's part of our philosophy to give back, and we work hard to do our part by contributing to the Drupal community -- the reason why we exist. I'm proud of this because it is not trivial to give back as much as we do.
What I'm most proud of is that we have accomplished all of this "the open source way". Since Acquia's interests are so aligned with Drupal's, we try to raise the tide for the Drupal community at large.
At the end of the day, we're not selling Drupal or cloud hosting. We're selling what can be done with Drupal. The belief in the limitless. No matter what you dream, you can do it, and Drupal will get you there -- and Acquia is here to help you succeed. Thank you for 2013, and we're looking forward to working with more customers that are changing the world.
