A certain lovely single mom has been spotted doing holiday volunteer work with the former business tycoon. Perhaps the charms and strong spiritual life of Gabi Valencia helped create this Christmas homecoming for Jeremy.

But even a day at the beach can be disrupted by real life. As Lola's friends discover the missing spark in their relationships, Lola develops feelings for her handsome new neighbor.

Melding the Bi-Annual Walk-Around with the Insurance Claim Process
by Herman Fassbender, Marsh & McLennan Agency
Reprinted from CIC Midwest News, Winter 2012, used with permission.
Initially the concept of a bi-annual walk-around and the handling of the exterior claims process appear to have little in common, but upon further investigation, a whole different relationship emerges that, when put into practice, will bring a significant value to the association.
Three specific reasons surface for pre-establishing a relationship with a competent exterior contractor:
Speaking of budgets, an added benefit of developing a relationship with a trusted exterior contractor is they can update the Board periodically on the life expectancy of the existing exterior components, so the association can properly set its reserves, but this is a topic for a whole other article.
In the end, developing a relationship with a competent exterior contractor is a must for all associations. If you have not already done so, begin acquiring referrals from trusted advisors such as attorneys, insurance providers, property managers, other association boards or association industry organizations. Interview a minimum of three companies, finding out their areas of expertise. Verify that they are well versed in the handling of insurance claim work. Get names of other associations they have worked with in the past. Your advance leg work is definitely worth your time. Look at this relationship as a long term one, which should span many years.
Pre-establishing a relationship with a competent exterior contractor, who will look after the integrity of your association's exterior, will pay many long term returns indeed.

text: Airbus tests cross-border public safety radio interoperability in Europe14 Oct 2016 04:44 PM Inter System Interoperability for TETRA-Tetrapol Networks project initiates interoperability test in Brussels, connecting mission-critical radio networks from six countriesSix European nations tested the interoperability of their emergency service communication networks in September with help from Airbus Defence & Space, which supplied core systems and contributed to the successful test.To test the interaction between secure radio networks during international visits, the European Research & Development project ISITEP (Inter System Interoperability for TETRA-Tetrapol Networks) successfully simulated a summit in Brussels, Belgium with six European countries in late September.As a result of the two-day demonstration, different mission-critical communication systems operated on common technical platforms to facilitate the exchange of information between various organisations. The technical set-up enabled communication between TETRA and Tetrapol two-way radio systems from Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Finland and Luxembourg. For instance, police actors protected fictitious foreign delegations as they moved through the city and attended conferences.The realistic scenario echoed the complex security coordination required during high-level missions abroad. ISITEP, the Federal Police of Belgium and the governmental network operator ASTRID initiated the operation. "Airbus Defence and Space technology was decisive in conducting this interoperability test," said Olivier Koczan, Head of Secure Land Communications at Airbus Defence and Space. "We supported the event together with our partners and our commitment shows that we are developing solutions to improve cross-border communications." To manage the roaming processes, the project set up two technically independent radio network platforms. One was composed of the three operative networks from Belgium, France and the Netherlands, the other consisted of four laboratory networks from Denmark, Finland, Luxembourg and Belgium.On each platform, the participants' terminals were able to migrate from one network to another. Pivotal to the success of the demonstration was the nationwide mission-critical network of Belgium and its corresponding test network located in Brussels. Both were provided by Airbus and are run by ASTRID. International co-operation between the police and emergency services in Europe has increased in recent years. Consequently, the need for a secure common communications infrastructure has become more pressing.Even though different standards from different vendors exist throughout Europe, the demonstration in Brussels showed how to bridge the gap between various radio technologies. ISITEP aims to find a comprehensive solution for interoperability between mission-critical communications systems with different standards. The project team comprises a consortium of 15 leading companies, including Airbus, and academic institutions from ten countries.This three-year undertaking to strengthen the cooperation between national emergency services started in 2013 and received EU funding of around €10 million. The international TETRA Association, as well as first response organisations from nine countries are also supporting the project's activities.

Cuvèe Joëlle Malbec et Merlot
Among the many noteworthy French grapes, two have become especially treasured for their stunning wines. Malbec has a dark, rustic nature, while Merlot features a soft, fruit forward, and herbaceous character. When blended, they craft a unique flavor. Cuvèe Joëlle fuses red plum, raspberry, blackberry, vanilla, and fresh herbs.

Touches of sweet tobacco and spice accentuate the fruit-forward flavor, making El Portal Red Blend very food friendly.

There is something inherently special and charismatic about Tuscan wine. Some say this is instilled by the vine, while others are charmed by the balance and full-flavor. What wins us over is the wine's proven food-friendliness. The contrast of tart cherry, plum, and strawberry flavors fuse with earthy notes of oregano, smoke, and tobacco, making it a wonderful dinner companion. Villa Amoroso Toscana Rosso hits every flavor note we expect, leaving us to want nothing else, except for maybe a few more bottles.
Multiple Award Winner: 90-point Gold Medal, Critics Challenge International Wine Competition 2016; 87-point Silver Medal, Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition 2016
Poco a Poco Tempranillo
Tempranillo is a powerful and oaky red wine from the Iberian Peninsula. Until recently, it was only enjoyed outside of Europe by in-the-know wine drinkers. Poco a Poco shines brightly among the innovators who have recently been bringing this under-the-radar red to broader audiences. Poco a Poco means "bit by bit," which describes the careful steps taken in making this balanced wine that features bold flavors of cherry, plum, sweet tobacco, tomato, and vanilla.

So I am mid way through my third week of using Symphony as my primary office tool for working with spreadsheets, documents and slides. This week I have been on many conference calls reviewing slides with people. I noticed that I am getting sent a lot more Open Document Format (ODF)files from many of my colleagues. As a standards guy it's nice to see we are using the same standards ourselves that we have worked so hard to embrace and help define. I have also been sent several Power Point (PPT) files this week. So far, I have been able to work with them all fine in Symphony. As a UI guy, I do keep spotting things in the UI that I think could be better and the development team has been very gracious in agreeing to look through all of my feedback. That's it for now, I have some slides to go work on!!

The latest Beta release of the new release of IBM Lotus Symphony (version 3) has been posted and is available for free download. Versions are available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
I have installed the Mac version and am now using it as my main office application program. You will find it is chock full of nice new features and it also brings the ODF support in the product into line with the one used by Open Office which will enhance document interoperability.
Here is the link to the site where you can download the Beta and also read more about the new features.

In response to: My Symphony Experiment - week 2So far there is nothing I have really needed to do that I have not been able to. That said while I am a self confessed "geek" I try not to be a super power user in any of the Office Suites as I find myself having to share my work with a lot of different audiences (customers, colleagues, conferences etc) and I have learned over the years that avoiding the advanced features seems to be a good general rule. It's the old 80-20 principle yet again I suppose. That said I view the evolution of all the ODF based tools in the industry to be just that, an evolution. I think we will see incremental improvement each release.
My Symphony Experiment - week 2
Kelvin_Lawrence 0600007PGE Tags:  standards symphony odf lotus 2 Comments 5,694 Views
So I am now well in to my second week of using Lotus Symphony to process every spreadsheet, slide deck and document that I receive. Even though, inside of IBM we are more and more sending each other Open Document Format (ODF) files, I still get a lot of other formats sent to me. So far my experience continues to be good. Today I received a set of Power Point slide presentations and I was able to look them all over just fine. Yesterday I needed to open, edit and save an Excel spreadsheet and I was able to do that without problems as well. As I see things I do not like I feed them back to the development team but so far my experiment, to be honest, is going much better than I had expected. I did get one document that looked just awful when I opened it. It was actually a native ODF document so I opened it in Open Office as well to get a second opinion as it were and it looked as bad there. In the end I rather cautiously asked the author about it and was told "oh yeah sorry about that I really should tidy that up" - so I was actually seeing what I was supposed to see. I'll post more as my experiment continues.....

Colorado Software Summit - Day 2
Kelvin_Lawrence 0600007PGE Tags:  programming conferences web technology standards 1 Comment 3,886 Views
I'm spending the week at the Colorado Software Summit. It's my favourite programming conference bar none and one I try to attend whenever I can. As always it has been great to meet so many interesting people from around the World and to have so many really useful discussions about emerging technology. I have attended several really good presentations and tonight I'm running a BOF around the subject of building rich web applications which should be a lot of fun. Tomorrow night I am running a BOF on social networking applications which I also hope will provoke some interesting discussion.
The conference is held in Keystone, Colorado. It's about a 90 mile drive up into the mountains from the Denver airport. After a couple of uneventful flights on Sunday morning, the front right tyre on my rental car blew out at about 70mph while driving through the mountains. I very nearly lost control of the car and only just avoided going off the side of the road. After all I have been through in the past year the last thing I expected was to be suddenly faced with another life threatening experience !
By the way, if you use twitter, I'm posting regular updates during the week. You can find me as @gfxman and please feel free to follow me.
The second day of the conference is now well underway and I'm off to join Denise Hatzidakis as she talks about REST so I'll end this post now.
PS - Sorry I have not posted for a while, life has been very busy. I'll try and post more updates soon.

I have posted here before many times about the Colorado Software Summit and how much I have enjoyed participating in prior conferences both as a speaker and a regular attendee. This year's conference is rapidly approaching and I am really excited to be going. Last year I had just been diagnosed with cancer and missed the conference. Thankfully I am still around to attend this year.
I'm really looking forward to the diverse menu of sessions and not sure how I am going to attend all of the ones that appeal to me. I am also planning to run a couple of BOFs while there. One will be on emerging web UI technology choices and the other on REST and Web Services.
I hope to see many of you there. This really is one of the weeks of the year that I really look forward to.
Here is a link conference agenda .

Looking forward to SHARE
Kelvin_Lawrence 0600007PGE Tags:  standards conferences soa 2,615 Views
All being well I shall be speaking at SHARE in San Jose next week. I will be talking about subjects such as SOA, open standards and Web 2.0. I'm sitting at my desk right now putting the finishing touches to my slides. Due primarily to the medical issues that I have documented on my personal web site, this will be the first time I have actually been able to get back to SHARE since the Tampa meeting in early 2007. I am really looking forward to meeting a lot of old friends and to hopefully making a few new ones as well

XML is Ten Years Old
Kelvin_Lawrence 0600007PGE Tags:  xml standards 2,431 Views
As many prominent bloggers have mentioned in the past few days, it is now 10 years since the initial XML Recommendation was published by the W3C back on February 10th 1998. This fairly simple markup technology has touched so many of our professional lives during the past 10 years. Congratulations to the entire XML community that has driven it's evolution from 1998 to the present day.

Lotus Symphony download available now

I have been meaning for a couple of days to post here with a pointer to the recently announced (publicly available,free download) of the Lotus Symphony beta release. Symphony provides applications for the creation and manipulation of documents, presentations and spreadsheets and supports the Open Document Format (ODF) . There are also import filters for many other formats. It is supported on both Windows (XP and Vista) and on Linux. I downloaded the code last night and have been playing with it today. All of my existing ODF format documents seem to work just fine and I was very pleased to see the broad selections of presentation templates that get installed as part of the package. Congratulations to my Lotus colleagues who worked so hard to deliver these productivity applications.

WS-Policy 1.5 is a W3C Recommendation
Kelvin_Lawrence 0600007PGE Tags:  webservices standards 2,879 Views
It's been a very busy Summer with lots of family activities outside of work and consequently I have not blogged for a while. Now that the kids are back at school and I am back at work full time after taking a much needed vacation, I plan to try and get caught up with my blogging.
It's nice to be able to get back into the swing of things with some good news. As Chris Ferris just posted on his blog, the WS-Policy 1.5 Specification has just become a W3C Recommendation. This is a key web services specification that a lot of people have contributed to and a lot of people have been looking forward to seeing standardized.
My congratulations to all involved.

Kurt Cagle has posted an interesting piece called "Where's XML going?" on his blog that takes a look at the many uses of XML and summarizes his view of where XML stands in its evolution. If you are interested in XML, it's current uses, and the many important standards that have been built upon it I recommend taking a look.

Back to the list of units
The Battleship has a visibility range of two sea squares, and can bombard units in coastal land squares.
The most powerful surface warship ever built, the Battleship was the queen of the seas until the appearance of its deadly nemesis, the Carrier. Heavily armored and difficult to destroy, it possessed massive guns that could accurately fire heavy projectiles for many miles. The Battleship had two primary military functions, clearing the seas of enemy ships and inflicting punishing bombardments upon enemy coastal targets, especially in preparation for invasion.

Brother Announces New Laser Multi-Function Models Targeting
the SOHO Market
BRIDGEWATER, N.J.–New Line of Brother Multi-Function
Center(R) Devices Gives Businesses More Powerful Imaging Solutions
Brother International Corporation Announces the launch of
two new multifunction-based office products that offer compelling features for
small to medium-size businesses that provide cutting-edge imaging and printing
solutions. The MFC-7420($299.99**)and MFC-7820N ($349.99*) offer significantly
improved performance,Features and value. These new products are slated for
availability beginning in March 2005.Each one has an ideal combination of
compact design and strong business functionality.
"Flatbed technology remains one of the most active segments
of the multi-function device marketplace. Customers continue to find a wide
range of applications for products like those we are introducing today." says
Don Cummins, Brother's Vice President of Marketing at Brother. "These new models
are the smallest laser flatbed models we have ever introduced, and with their
enclosed lower tray design, fast up to 20ppm speed and strong pricing, they are
sure to be leading models in the market."
Brother's new Multi-function Center(R) products come to
market with a full roster of functionality, including:
< style="color: rgb(255, 0, 255);">– 250-sheet lower tray capacity designed for efficient use
of space
– Fast print and copy speed (up to 20ppm)
– High printing resolution (up to 2400 x 600)
– Stand-alone fax function
– MFC-7420 (14.4K bps)
– MFC-7820N (33.6K bps)
– Large standard memory
– Built-in Ethernet network interface on the MFC-7820N
MFC-7420: PERSONAL LASER FLATBED MFC Perfect for the home office or small office, the MFC-7420
has a small compact footprint that takes up very little space on the desktop or
in the office. The base model for Brother's 2005 introduction of laser flatbed
MFCs offers fast printing, copying, color scanning, faxing and PC faxing. It
also comes standard with parallel and USB 2.0 Full Speed interfaces3 and is
compatible with both Windows(R) and Mac(R) operating systems.
The MFC-7420 is just as practical for entrepreneurs working
from home as it is for small offices where convenience, privacy or quick access
is important to people in their own work areas. Its fast print and copy speeds
of up to 20ppm, HQ-1200 (up to 2400 x 600) resolution for sharp text and
graphics, 250-sheet paper capacity and integrated flatbed 35-page automatic
document feeder capacity for maximum imaging versatility, make this product a
great choice for a large number of work situations.
Not overlooking the importance of a full-function
stand-alone fax machine, the MFC-7420 includes a 14.4K bps fax modem with 8
one-touch and 200 speed dial locations. Dual access and Quick Scan operation
along with broadcast faxing to multiple locations is also available. The 16MB
memory, capable of storing up to 500 pages, ensures reception of faxes even when
the paper tray is empty. PC fax software is also included which allow customers
to fax documents directly from applications.
Color scanning is another function available with the
MFC-7420. This is readily accomplished via the scanning glass for books,
magazines and other bound documents, or via the up to 35-page auto document
feeder. Items can be scanned at an interpolated resolution of up to 9600 dpi
(600 x 2400 dpi optical). An intuitive control panel design includes easy-to-use
scan-to buttons that let users scan directly to file, OCR or e-mail
applications. The scanning feature comes bundled with the award-winning
Scansoft(R) PaperPort(R) and OmniPage(R) OCR software for Windows(R) and
Presto!(R) PageManager for Mac(R).
There are a number of additional features for enhanced
convenience copying. Functions that allow for reduction and enlargement from
25-400%, or producing and sorting up to 99 copies makes this feature-rich MFC
even more friendly.
Building on the base features of the MFC-7420, the
MFC-7820N is geared toward SOHO and small to medium-sized businesses where
multiple users will share access to the same output device. Not only is this
model great for office environments, it is also a perfectly suited solution for
the ever-growing number of home office networks where families wish to provide a
single imaging solution for multiple computers throughout the household.
The MFC-7820N includes all of the functionality of the base
model for Brother's new line, but adds the ability to do printing, faxing, PC
faxing and scanning over a network. Designed in part to accommodate these
functions, the MFC-7820N features more robust specs where necessary to ensure
higher performance and quality over a network, including:
– Super G3 33.6K bps fax modem
– 32MB memory capacity
– Ethernet connectivity for wired or wireless routers3
– 4 day memory backup system
– PCL 6 BR-Script Level 3
Each of the new models being introduced uses the same
economical two-piece consumable combination. They come with a starter toner
cartridge that prints approximately 1,500 pages(a)and have a replacement toner
cartridge4 (TN350) with a yield of approximately 2,500 pages. The drum unit for
these cartridges has a yield of approximately 12,000 pages

This cream is lightweight and hydrating. It leaves skin refreshed and is not drying at all. It's inexpenisve and great value. A little jar will last for awhile and you need very little for good coverage.
Product did nothing for me after cleaned off of skin!
I don't normally spend a great deal of money on creams and such but I tried my friend's Clinique Repairwear Intensive Night Cream and I really liked how it felt on my skin. One of the reasons I don't like putting much of anything on my skin is because of how it feels afterwards. It's either too heavy, too sticky, too greasy or I get an allergic reaction to it. This cream felt great, very light and no unpleasant smell, not greasy or sticky and you don't need to put on much, a little goes a long way. I put it around my eyes also for an eye cream. I really recommend it to anyone with sensitive skin.
Lip repair, reduce fine lines on the lip. Gives a pink tint on the lips and acts like a lip gloss. Good product overall but it uses up pretty quickly.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/12/2013 (1299 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DENVER -- It has been a tough month of December for the Winnipeg Jets' most important player on defence, Dustin Byfuglien.
A 15-game goalless drought ended Friday night with a contribution to the 6-4 victory over the Minnesota Wild, but Byfuglien's plus-minus rating has sagged to a team-worst minus-15.
On Friday, Byfuglien, in 25 minutes 24 seconds of work was on the ice for three of Minnesota's four goals (one on the power play). That was offset by two on the plus side, including his own, his seventh goal of the season.
But all that back-and-forth, up-and-down, combined with a forgettable minus-two outing earlier in the week in the 6-2 loss in Edmonton, has the big man frustrated.
"Yeah, it's frustrating," Byfuglien said Saturday, clearly irked with how things are going." It's not the easiest thing. But I've just got to stick with it. And (expletive), you can sit and yell and bitch and do as much as you can, but my teammates, they see it too and everyone's been like, 'Stick with it, it's going to change.'
Working hard
"There's nothing I can do about it so I just keep working hard. Finally the bounces will start coming and things will turn around, hopefully."
The matter of the team's frustration and fragility in recent weeks, which has seen it fall to 17-18-5 heading for tonight's game in Denver against the Colorado Avalanche, is also weighing on Byfuglien.
But he was adamant the group is not sitting idly by while problems mount.
"It doesn't matter if we're going good or bad, guys are on each other," Byfuglien said. "It's the locker-room. You see something bad, see something you don't like, you say something. At the end of the day, we're just trying to get better. That's all. You can't get mad at anybody besides yourself. You've just got to go and keep working."
Friday's win, which saw the Jets get a better grip than the Wild after a sloppy first period, does not gloss over anything, the defenceman said.
"I don't think it was any more light in (the locker-room) today," he said. "I think the mood is kind of the same. It definitely wasn't the way we wanted to win, but it's two points we can be happy about. We still have a long ways to go. And we've got a lot of (expletive) to do."
JETCETERA: The Jets were to take defencemen Mark Stuart (lower body) and Zach Bogosian (food poisoning) with them to Denver and Noel indicated both are possible, even likely, to play against the Avs.
