- I ordered this bra in the blue-it's gorgeous and a fabulous fit and with having 34j boobs I thought I would never find a pretty bra to wear but I'm wrong!-great bra and great service! (Posted on 04/08/2016)
- You may not think it to look at with its delicate lace and silver trim, but the support this bra gives is outstanding. I have the Freya Hero bra in black in a 32JJ and I was so impressed that I purchased this fetching blue colour too. It has a fresh modern look to it, and I love the design, even though it's not sheer at the top as per the photograph. The wide straps and side support panel give an amazing shape and firmness to the bust. Five stars. (Posted on 02/06/2016)

Jesse Metcalfe showed what a true gentlemen he is by giving his girlfriend his suit jacket to wear on their night out.
The hunky Hollywood star braved the cold in his white shirt while the brunette beauty rocked his garment over her pink gown on their dinner date in West Hollywood on Monday night (21.03.16).
That's true love right there!

Kate Moss' style was inspired by Mick Jagger
Kate Moss' style was inspired by Mick Jagger.
The 42-year-old supermodel - who began her modelling career in 1988 when she was scouted by Storm Models at the young age of 14 - has admitted she idolised men's dress sense in the seventies, and looked to Rolling Stones' lead singer and the late musician Marc Bolan for fashion inspiration.
Speaking to Marie Claire about her style muse, the blonde beauty - who has boasted a successful career at the helm of the modelling industry spanning over three decades - said: "I quite like the way men dressed in the 70s dressed Mick Jagger and Marc Bolan. They're quite feminine but still with a tomboyish look, which I quite liked."
And the mother of one - who has daughter Lila Grace Moss Hack, 13, with her ex-partner Jefferson Hack - counts the 72-year-old Italian actress Anita Pallenberg as her beauty icon.
She explained: "I think Anita Pallenberg - I love the way she looked the '60s."
However, Kate has not only copied the singer songwriter's wardrobe choices but has also emulated their rock star habits, which saw her discard her leather jacket because she didn't think it belonged to her.
She explained: "I threw it [a leather jacket] out of a window once - by accident. Well, I thought it was my boyfriends."
Kate - who has fronted campaigns for luxury designer brands Burberry, Yves Saint Laurent and Chanel - has revealed she finds her favourite outfit, which is a pair of jeans paired with a simple t-shirt, "boring".
Speaking about her favourite garments and make-up trends, she said: "So boring but an old black t-shirt with jeans.
"I either go for a smoky eye or a strong lip."
Meanwhile, the English catwalk icon's mother Linda didn't believe her daughter was photogenic when she was younger, and is surprised by Kate's success.
Speaking previously, Kate said: "My mum always said I wasn't photogenic.
"It was all very unexpected for them, and now she's like, 'Oh you're still working aren't you?'"

NEW YORK -- On the eve of Super XLVIII across the Hudson River, two college basketball heavyweights went toe-to-toe at Madison Square Garden.
Georgetown pulled the upset, knocking off No. 7 Michigan State 64-60, but don't panic, Spartans fans -- you still had a pretty good week.
Playing without two of their top four scorers (Adreian Payne and Branden Dawson), who also happen to be the Spartans' two leading rebounders, Michigan State managed a split this week -- winning at No. 15 Iowa on Tuesday before losing on Saturday.
And don't be fooled by the Hoyas' record -- they had lost five in a row, but that includes games against No. 9 Villanova, No. 20 Creighton, at Xavier and an overtime loss to Marquette. They're better than you might think.
"Disappointing but not upsetting," Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said to open his postgame news conference. "I know John Thompson [III]. I know his teams. They're tough, they play hard and they lost some games that I didn't think they should have lost."
That being said, Izzo did have plenty of criticism for his own squad. "Today, we got out-toughed; we really did. We got thrown around on the boards. We got posted up," Izzo said. "I thought they manhandled us."
Michigan State led 30-29 at halftime despite shooting just 11-for-27 from the field (40.7 percent). But Georgetown went in front for good less than 30 seconds into the second half on a 3-pointer by Reggie Cameron.
The Hoyas never led by more than eight, and the Spartans cut it to two at 56-54 on a Gary Harris 3-pointer with 1:32 left. But on the next possession, Jabril Trawick followed up a Markel Starks miss to push the lead back to four, and Georgetown put the game away from there.
Michigan State shot just 21-for-53 for the game (39.6 percent), 9-for-16 from the foul line and was outrebounded 37-30. The Spartans were 30th in Division I in rebounds per game coming in.
Harris agreed with his coach's assessment. "They were out-toughing us to get rebounds," he said. "In the end, that cost us the game."
Harris scored a game-high 20 points, 17 of which came in the second half, but he did miss some wide-open looks.
"I was surprised how bad we played, myself included," he said. "I played horrible in the first half. I can't let that happen, especially coming into a game like this."
Izzo and his players have every right to be disappointed. It was a much-hyped matchup, played on a big stage.
And Thompson had every right to be excited, though he chuckled when told about Izzo's "manhandled" comment.
"I don't know about that. But you're not going to beat Michigan State, or any team in the Big East, if you aren't physically tough," Thompson said. "Traditionally down through the years, [Izzo's] teams have been one of the more physical teams in the country, and so I thought we met the challenge today."
Izzo's team will be far more challenging once Payne (16.2 points per game, 7.7 rebounds per game) returns from a foot injury. Izzo said Payne is expected to return to practice Monday. He could play Thursday night against Penn State.
Getting Payne back is far more important than a nonconference game against Georgetown, even if it was Super Saturday in New York.

What is blog? Erwin Pedia will explain about definition of blog for you. A blog (a contraction of the words web log) is a discussion or informational site published on the World Wide Web and consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse chronological order (the most recent post appears first). Until 2009 blogs were usually the work of a single individual, occasionally of a small group, and often covered a single subject. More recently "multi-author blogs" (MABs) have developed, with posts written by large numbers of authors and professionally edited. MABs from newspapers, other media outlets, universities, think tanks, interest groups and similar institutions account for an increasing quantity of blog traffic. The rise of Twitter and other "microblogging" systems helps integrate MABs and single-author blogs into societal newstreams. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
The emergence and growth of blogs in the late 1990s coincided with the advent of web publishing tools that facilitated the posting of content by non-technical users. (Previously, a knowledge of such technologies as HTML and FTP had been required to publish content on the Web.)
A majority are interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments and even message each other via GUI widgets on the blogs, and it is this interactivity that distinguishes them from other static websites. In that sense, blogging can be seen as a form of social networking service. Indeed, bloggers do not only produce content to post on their blogs, but also build social relations with their readers and other bloggers. There are high-readership blogs which do not allow comments, such as Daring Fireball.
Many blogs provide commentary on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries; others function more as online brand advertising of a particular individual or company. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important contribution to the popularity of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (art blogs), photographs (photoblogs), videos (video blogs or "vlogs"), music (MP3 blogs), and audio (podcasts). Microblogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts. In education, blogs can be used as instructional resources. These blogs are referred to as edublogs.
On 16 February 2011, there were over 156 million public blogs in existence. On 13 October 2012, there were around 77 million Tumblr and 56.6 million WordPress blogs in existence worldwide. According to critics and other bloggers, Blogger is the most popular blogging service used today.
The term "weblog" was coined by Jorn Barger on 17 December 1997. The short form, "blog", was coined by Peter Merholz, who jokingly broke the word weblog into the phrase we blog in the sidebar of his blog Peterme.com in April or May 1999. Shortly thereafter, Evan Williams at Pyra Labs used "blog" as both a noun and verb ("to blog", meaning "to edit one's weblog or to post to one's weblog") and devised the term "blogger" in connection with Pyra Labs' Blogger product, leading to the popularization of the terms.
Before blogging became popular, digital communities took many forms, including Usenet, commercial online services such as GEnie, BiX and the early CompuServe, e-mail lists and Bulletin Board Systems (BBS). In the 1990s, Internet forum software, created running conversations with "threads". Threads are topical connections between messages on a virtual "corkboard".
From 14 June 1993 Mosaic Communications Corporation maintained their "What's New" list of new websites, updated daily and archived monthly. The page was accessible by a special "What's New" button in the Mosaic web browser.
The modern blog evolved from the online diary, where people would keep a running account of their personal lives. Most such writers called themselves diarists, journalists, or journalers. Justin Hall, who began personal blogging in 1994 while a student at Swarthmore College, is generally recognized as one of the earlier bloggers, as is Jerry Pournelle. Dave Winer's Scripting News is also credited with being one of the older and longer running weblogs. The Australian Netguide magazine maintained the Daily Net News on their web site from 1996. Daily Net News ran links and daily reviews of new websites, mostly in Australia. Another early blog was Wearable Wireless Webcam, an online shared diary of a person's personal life combining text, video, and pictures transmitted live from a wearable computer and EyeTap device to a web site in 1994. This practice of semi-automated blogging with live video together with text was referred to as sousveillance, and such journals were also used as evidence in legal matters.
Early blogs were simply manually updated components of common Web sites. However, the evolution of tools to facilitate the production and maintenance of Web articles posted in reverse chronological order made the publishing process feasible to a much larger, less technical, population. Ultimately, this resulted in the distinct class of online publishing that produces blogs we recognize today. For instance, the use of some sort of browser-based software is now a typical aspect of "blogging". Blogs can be hosted by dedicated blog hosting services, or they can be run using blog software, or on regular web hosting services.
Some early bloggers, such as The Misanthropic Bitch, who began in 1997, actually referred to their online presence as a zine, before the term blog entered common usage.
Rise in popularity
After a slow start, blogging rapidly gained in popularity. Blog usage spread during 1999 and the years following, being further popularized by the near-simultaneous arrival of the first hosted blog tools:
1. Bruce Ableson launched Open Diary in October 1998, which soon grew to thousands of online diaries. Open Diary innovated the reader comment, becoming the first blog community where readers could add comments to other writers' blog entries.
2. Brad Fitzpatrick started LiveJournal in March 1999.
3. Andrew Smales created Pitas.com in July 1999 as an easier alternative to maintaining a "news page" on a Web site, followed by Diaryland in September 1999, focusing more on a personal diary community.
4. Evan Williams and Meg Hourihan (Pyra Labs) launched Blogger.com in August 1999 (purchased by Google in February 2003)
Political impact
An early milestone in the rise in importance of blogs came in 2002, when many bloggers focused on comments by U.S. Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott. Senator Lott, at a party honoring U.S. Senator Strom Thurmond, praised Senator Thurmond by suggesting that the United States would have been better off had Thurmond been elected president. Lott's critics saw these comments as a tacit approval of racial segregation, a policy advocated by Thurmond's 1948 presidential campaign. This view was reinforced by documents and recorded interviews dug up by bloggers. (See Josh Marshall's Talking Points Memo.) Though Lott's comments were made at a public event attended by the media, no major media organizations reported on his controversial comments until after blogs broke the story. Blogging helped to create a political crisis that forced Lott to step down as majority leader.
Similarly, blogs were among the driving forces behind the "Rathergate" scandal. To wit: (television journalist) Dan Rather presented documents (on the CBS show 60 Minutes) that conflicted with accepted accounts of President Bush's military service record. Bloggers declared the documents to be forgeries and presented evidence and arguments in support of that view. Consequently, CBS apologized for what it said were inadequate reporting techniques (see Little Green Footballs). Many bloggers view this scandal as the advent of blogs' acceptance by the mass media, both as a news source and opinion and as means of applying political pressure.
The impact of these stories gave greater credibility to blogs as a medium of news dissemination. Though often seen as partisan gossips,[citation needed] bloggers sometimes lead the way in bringing key information to public light, with mainstream media having to follow their lead. More often, however, news blogs tend to react to material already published by the mainstream media. Meanwhile, an increasing number of experts blogged, making blogs a source of in-depth analysis.
In Russia, some political bloggers have started to challenge the dominance of official, overwhelmingly pro-government media. Bloggers such as Rustem Adagamov and Alexei Navalny have many followers and the latter's nickname for the ruling United Russia party as the "party of crooks and thieves" and been adopted by anti-regime protesters. This led to the Wall Street Journal calling Navalny "the man Vladimir Putin fears most" in March 2012.
Mainstream popularity
By 2004, the role of blogs became increasingly mainstream, as political consultants, news services, and candidates began using them as tools for outreach and opinion forming. Blogging was established by politicians and political candidates to express opinions on war and other issues and cemented blogs' role as a news source. (See Howard Dean and Wesley Clark.) Even politicians not actively campaigning, such as the UK's Labour Party's MP Tom Watson, began to blog to bond with constituents.
In January 2005, Fortune magazine listed eight bloggers whom business people "could not ignore": Peter Rojas, Xeni Jardin, Ben Trott, Mena Trott, Jonathan Schwartz, Jason Goldman, Robert Scoble, and Jason Calacanis.
Israel was among the first national governments to set up an official blog. Under David Saranga, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs became active in adopting Web 2.0 initiatives, including an official video blog and a political blog. The Foreign Ministry also held a microblogging press conference via Twitter about its war with Hamas, with Saranga answering questions from the public in common text-messaging abbreviations during a live worldwide press conference. The questions and answers were later posted on IsraelPolitik, the country's official political blog.
The impact of blogging upon the mainstream media has also been acknowledged by governments. In 2009, the presence of the American journalism industry had declined to the point that several newspaper corporations were filing for bankruptcy, resulting in less direct competition between newspapers within the same circulation area. Discussion emerged as to whether the newspaper industry would benefit from a stimulus package by the federal government. U.S. President Barack Obama acknowledged the emerging influence of blogging upon society by saying "if the direction of the news is all blogosphere, all opinions, with no serious fact-checking, no serious attempts to put stories in context, then what you will end up getting is people shouting at each other across the void but not a lot of mutual understanding".
There are many different types of blogs, differing not only in the type of content, but also in the way that content is delivered or written.
1. Personal blogs
The personal blog is an ongoing diary or commentary written by an individual.
2. Microblogging
Microblogging is the practice of posting small pieces of digital content which could be text, pictures, links, short videos, or other media on the Internet. Microblogging offers a portable communication mode that feels organic and spontaneous to many and has captured the public imagination. Friends use it to keep in touch, business associates use it to coordinate meetings or share useful resources, and celebrities and politicians (or their publicists) microblog about concert dates, lectures, book releases, or tour schedules. A wide and growing range of add-on tools enables sophisticated updates and interaction with other applications, and the resulting profusion of functionality is helping to define new possibilities for this type of communication. Examples of these include Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr.
3. Corporate and organizational blogs
A blog can be private, as in most cases, or it can be for business purposes. Blogs used internally to enhance the communication and culture in a corporation or externally for marketing, branding or public relations purposes are called corporate blogs. Similar blogs for clubs and societies are called club blogs, group blogs, or by similar names; typical use is to inform members and other interested parties of club and member activities.
4. By genre
Some blogs focus on a particular subject, such as political blogs, health blogs, travel blogs (also known as travelogs), gardening blogs, house blogs, fashion blogs, project blogs, education blogs, niche blogs, classical music blogs, quizzing blogs and legal blogs (often referred to as a blawgs) or dreamlogs. Two common types of genre blogs are art blogs and music blogs. A blog featuring discussions especially about home and family is not uncommonly called a mom blog and one made popular is by Erica Diamond who created Womenonthefence.com which is syndicated to over two million readers monthly. While not a legitimate type of blog, one used for the sole purpose of spamming is known as a Splog.
5. By media type
A blog comprising videos is called a vlog, one comprising links is called a linklog, a site containing a portfolio of sketches is called a sketchblog or one comprising photos is called a photoblog. Blogs with shorter posts and mixed media types are called tumblelogs. Blogs that are written on typewriters and then scanned are called typecast or typecast blogs; see typecasting (blogging).
A rare type of blog hosted on the Gopher Protocol is known as a Phlog.
6. By device
Blogs can also be defined by which type of device is used to compose it. A blog written by a mobile device like a mobile phone or PDA could be called a moblog. One early blog was Wearable Wireless Webcam, an online shared diary of a person's personal life combining text, video, and pictures transmitted live from a wearable computer and EyeTap device to a web site. This practice of semi-automated blogging with live video together with text was referred to as sousveillance. Such journals have been used as evidence in legal matters.
7. Reverse blog
A Reverse Blog is composed by its users rather than a single blogger. This system has the characteristics of a blog, and the writing of several authors. These can be written by several contributing authors on a topic, or opened up for anyone to write. There is typically some limit to the number of entries to keep it from operating like a Web Forum.
Community and cataloging
1. The Blogosphere
The collective community of all blogs is known as the blogosphere. Since all blogs are on the internet by definition, they may be seen as interconnected and socially networked, through blogrolls, comments, linkbacks (refbacks, trackbacks or pingbacks) and backlinks. Discussions "in the blogosphere" are occasionally used by the media as a gauge of public opinion on various issues. Because new, untapped communities of bloggers and their readers can emerge in the space of a few years, Internet marketers pay close attention to "trends in the blogosphere".
2. Blog search engines
Several blog search engines are used to search blog contents, such as Bloglines, BlogScope, and Technorati. Technorati, which is among the more popular blog search engines, provides current information on both popular searches and tags used to categorize blog postings. The research community is working on going beyond simple keyword search, by inventing new ways to navigate through huge amounts of information present in the blogosphere, as demonstrated by projects like BlogScope.
3. Blogging communities and directories
Several online communities exist that connect people to blogs and bloggers to other bloggers, including BlogCatalog and MyBlogLog. Interest-specific blogging platforms are also available. For instance, Blogster has a sizable community of political bloggers among its members. Global Voices aggregates international bloggers, "with emphasis on voices that are not ordinarily heard in international mainstream media."
4. Blogging and advertising
It is common for blogs to feature advertisements either to financially benefit the blogger or to promote the blogger's favorite causes. The popularity of blogs has also given rise to "fake blogs" in which a company will create a fictional blog as a marketing tool to promote a product.
Researchers have actively analyzed the dynamics of how blogs become popular. There are essentially two measures of this: popularity through citations, as well as popularity through affiliation (i.e., blogroll). The basic conclusion from studies of the structure of blogs is that while it takes time for a blog to become popular through blogrolls, permalinks can boost popularity more quickly, and are perhaps more indicative of popularity and authority than blogrolls, since they denote that people are actually reading the blog's content and deem it valuable or noteworthy in specific cases.
The blogdex project was launched by researchers in the MIT Media Lab to crawl the Web and gather data from thousands of blogs in order to investigate their social properties. Information was gathered by the tool for over four years, during which it autonomously tracked the most contagious information spreading in the blog community, ranking it by recency and popularity. It can therefore be considered the first instantiation of a memetracker. The project was replaced by tailrank.com which in turn has been replaced by spinn3r.com.
Blogs are given rankings by blog search engine Technorati based on the number of incoming links and Alexa Internet (Web hits of Alexa Toolbar users). In August 2006, Technorati found that the most linked-to blog on the internet was that of Chinese actress Xu Jinglei. Chinese media Xinhua reported that this blog received more than 50 million page views, claiming it to be the most popular blog in the world. Technorati rated Boing Boing to be the most-read group-written blog.
Blurring with the mass media
Many bloggers, particularly those engaged in participatory journalism, differentiate themselves from the mainstream media, while others are members of that media working through a different channel. Some institutions see blogging as a means of "getting around the filter" and pushing messages directly to the public. Some critics worry that bloggers respect neither copyright nor the role of the mass media in presenting society with credible news. Bloggers and other contributors to user-generated content are behind Time magazine naming their 2006 person of the year as "You".
Many mainstream journalists, meanwhile, write their own blogs well over 300, according to CyberJournalist.net's J-blog list. The first known use of a blog on a news site was in August 1998, when Jonathan Dube of The Charlotte Observer published one chronicling Hurricane Bonnie.
Some bloggers have moved over to other media. The following bloggers (and others) have appeared on radio and television: Duncan Black (known widely by his pseudonym, Atrios), Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit), Markos Moulitsas Zúniga (Daily Kos), Alex Steffen (Worldchanging), Ana Marie Cox (Wonkette), Nate Silver (FiveThirtyEight.com), and Ezra Klein (Ezra Klein blog in The American Prospect, now in the Washington Post). In counterpoint, Hugh Hewitt exemplifies a mass media personality who has moved in the other direction, adding to his reach in "old media" by being an influential blogger. Similarly, it was Emergency Preparedness and Safety Tips On Air and Online blog articles that captured Surgeon General of the United States Richard Carmona's attention and earned his kudos for the associated broadcasts by talk show host Lisa Tolliver and Westchester Emergency Volunteer Reserves-Medical Reserve Corps Director Marianne Partridge.
Blogs have also had an influence on minority languages, bringing together scattered speakers and learners; this is particularly so with blogs in Gaelic languages. Minority language publishing (which may lack economic feasibility) can find its audience through inexpensive blogging.
There are many examples of bloggers who have published books based on their blogs, e.g., Salam Pax, Ellen Simonetti, Jessica Cutler, ScrappleFace. Blog-based books have been given the name blook. A prize for the best blog-based book was initiated in 2005, the Lulu Blooker Prize. However, success has been elusive offline, with many of these books not selling as well as their blogs. Only blogger Tucker Max made The New York Times Best Seller list. The book based on Julie Powell's blog "The Julie/Julia Project" was made into the film Julie & Julia, apparently the first to do so.
Consumer-generated advertising in blogs
Consumer-generated advertising is a relatively new and controversial development and it has created a new model of marketing communication from businesses to consumers. Among the various forms of advertising on blog, the most controversial are the sponsored posts. These are blog entries or posts and may be in the form of feedback, reviews, opinion, videos, etc. and usually contain a link back to the desired site using a keyword/s.
Blogs have led to some disintermediation and a breakdown of the traditional advertising model where companies can skip over the advertising agencies (previously the only interface with the customer) and contact the customers directly themselves. On the other hand, new companies specialised in blog advertising have been established, to take advantage of this new development as well.
However, there are many people who look negatively on this new development. Some believe that any form of commercial activity on blogs will destroy the blogosphere's credibility.
Legal and social consequences
Blogging can result in a range of legal liabilities and other unforeseen consequences.
1. Defamation or liability
Several cases have been brought before the national courts against bloggers concerning issues of defamation or liability. U.S. payouts related to blogging totaled $17.4 million by 2009; in some cases these have been covered by umbrella insurance. The courts have returned with mixed verdicts. Internet Service Providers (ISPs), in general, are immune from liability for information that originates with third parties (U.S. Communications Decency Act and the EU Directive 2000/31/EC).
In Doe v. Cahill, the Delaware Supreme Court held that stringent standards had to be met to unmask the anonymous bloggers, and also took the unusual step of dismissing the libel case itself (as unfounded under American libel law) rather than referring it back to the trial court for reconsideration. In a bizarre twist, the Cahills were able to obtain the identity of John Doe, who turned out to be the person they suspected: the town's mayor, Councilman Cahill's political rival. The Cahills amended their original complaint, and the mayor settled the case rather than going to trial.
In January 2007, two prominent Malaysian political bloggers, Jeff Ooi and Ahirudin Attan, were sued by a pro-government newspaper, The New Straits Times Press (Malaysia) Berhad, Kalimullah bin Masheerul Hassan, Hishamuddin bin Aun and Brenden John a/l John Pereira over an alleged defamation. The plaintiff was supported by the Malaysian government. Following the suit, the Malaysian government proposed to "register" all bloggers in Malaysia in order to better control parties against their interest. This is the first such legal case against bloggers in the country.
In the United States, blogger Aaron Wall was sued by Traffic Power for defamation and publication of trade secrets in 2005. According to Wired Magazine, Traffic Power had been "banned from Google for allegedly rigging search engine results." Wall and other "white hat" search engine optimization consultants had exposed Traffic Power in what they claim was an effort to protect the public. The case addressed the murky legal question of who is liable for comments posted on blogs. The case was dismissed for lack of personal jurisdiction, and Traffic Power failed to appeal within the allowed time.
In 2009, a controversial and landmark decision by The Hon. Mr Justice Eady refused to grant an order to protect the anonymity of Richard Horton. Horton was a police officer in the United Kingdom who blogged about his job under the name "NightJack".
In 2009, NDTV issued a legal notice to Indian blogger Kunte for a blog post criticizing their coverage of the Mumbai attacks. The blogger unconditionally withdrew his post, which resulted in several Indian bloggers criticizing NDTV for trying to silence critics.
Employees who blog about elements of their place of employment can begin to affect the brand recognition of their employer. In general, attempts by employee bloggers to protect themselves by maintaining anonymity have proved ineffective.
Delta Air Lines fired flight attendant Ellen Simonetti because she posted photographs of herself in uniform on an airplane and because of comments posted on her blog "Queen of Sky: Diary of a Flight Attendant" which the employer deemed inappropriate. This case highlighted the issue of personal blogging and freedom of expression versus employer rights and responsibilities, and so it received wide media attention. Simonetti took legal action against the airline for "wrongful termination, defamation of character and lost future wages". The suit was postponed while Delta was in bankruptcy proceedings (court docket).
In early 2006, Erik Ringmar, a tenured senior lecturer at the London School of Economics, was ordered by the convenor of his department to "take down and destroy" his blog in which he discussed the quality of education at the school.
Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, was fined during the 2006 NBA playoffs for criticizing NBA officials on the court and in his blog.
Mark Jen was terminated in 2005 after 10 days of employment as an Assistant Product Manager at Google for discussing corporate secrets on his personal blog, then called 99zeros and hosted on the Google-owned Blogger service. He blogged about unreleased products and company finances a week before the company's earnings announcement. He was fired two days after he complied with his employer's request to remove the sensitive material from his blog.
In India, blogger Gaurav Sabnis resigned from IBM after his posts questioned the claims of a management school IIPM.
Jessica Cutler, aka "The Washingtonienne", blogged about her sex life while employed as a congressional assistant. After the blog was discovered and she was fired, she wrote a novel based on her experiences and blog: The Washingtonienne: A Novel. Cutler is presently being sued by one of her former lovers in a case that could establish the extent to which bloggers are obligated to protect the privacy of their real life associates.
Catherine Sanderson, a.k.a. Petite Anglaise, lost her job in Paris at a British accountancy firm because of blogging. Although given in the blog in a fairly anonymous manner, some of the descriptions of the firm and some of its people were less than flattering. Sanderson later won a compensation claim case against the British firm, however.
On the other hand, Penelope Trunk wrote an upbeat article in the Boston Globe back in 2006, entitled "Blogs 'essential' to a good career". She was one of the first journalists to point out that a large portion of bloggers are professionals and that a well-written blog can help attract employers.
Political dangers
Blogging can sometimes have unforeseen consequences in politically sensitive areas. Blogs are much harder to control than broadcast or even print media. As a result, totalitarian and authoritarian regimes often seek to suppress blogs and/or to punish those who maintain them.
In Singapore, two ethnic Chinese were imprisoned under the country's anti-sedition law for posting anti-Muslim remarks in their blogs.
Egyptian blogger Kareem Amer was charged with insulting the Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak and an Islamic institution through his blog. It is the first time in the history of Egypt that a blogger was prosecuted. After a brief trial session that took place in Alexandria, the blogger was found guilty and sentenced to prison terms of three years for insulting Islam and inciting sedition, and one year for insulting Mubarak.
Egyptian blogger Abdel Monem Mahmoud was arrested in April 2007 for anti-government writings in his blog. Monem is a member of the then banned Muslim Brotherhood.
After the 2011 Egyptian revolution, the Egyptian blogger Maikel Nabil Sanad was charged with insulting the military for an article he wrote on his personal blog and sentenced to 3 years.
After expressing opinions in his personal blog about the state of the Sudanese armed forces, Jan Pronk, United Nations Special Representative for the Sudan, was given three days notice to leave Sudan. The Sudanese army had demanded his deportation.
In Myanmar, Nay Phone Latt, a blogger, was sentenced to 20 years in jail for posting a cartoon critical of head of state Than Shwe.
Personal safety
One consequence of blogging is the possibility of attacks or threats against the blogger, sometimes without apparent reason. Kathy Sierra, author of the innocuous blog "Creating Passionate Users", was the target of such vicious threats and misogynistic insults that she canceled her keynote speech at a technology conference in San Diego, fearing for her safety. While a blogger's anonymity is often tenuous, Internet trolls who would attack a blogger with threats or insults can be emboldened by anonymity. Sierra and supporters initiated an online discussion aimed at countering abusive online behavior and developed a blogger's code of conduct.
The Blogger's Code of Conduct is a proposal by Tim O'Reilly for bloggers to enforce civility on their blogs by being civil themselves and moderating comments on their blog. The code was proposed in 2007 due to threats made to blogger Kathy Sierra. The idea of the code was first reported by BBC News, who quoted O'Reilly saying, "I do think we need some code of conduct around what is acceptable behaviour, I would hope that it doesn't come through any kind of regulation it would come through self-regulation."
O'Reilly and others came up with a list of seven proposed ideas.
1. Take responsibility not just for your own words, but for the comments you allow on your blog.
2. Label your tolerance level for abusive comments.
3. Consider eliminating anonymous comments.
4. Ignore the trolls.
5. Take the conversation offline, and talk directly, or find an intermediary who can do so.
6. If you know someone who is behaving badly, tell them so.
7. 't say anything online that you wouldn't say in person.
These ideas were predictably intensely discussed on the Web and in the media. While the internet has continued to grow, with online activity and discourse only picking up both in positive and negative ways in terms of blog interaction, the proposed Code has drawn more widespread attention to the necessity of monitoring blogging activity and social norms being as important online as offline.

Puzzle Pieces
My name is Georgia, I'm fifteen years old, and I'm desperately in love with my best friend, Ben. But I guess I can't call myself different from thousands of other girls out there. How many teenagers must go to sleep at night pining away for someone with whom they play football and video games on the weekend?
At least for some of those girls, their best friend returns the interest. But for all I know, Ben is head over heels for the hair-flipping, pom-pom waving cheerleader clones that fill our school. I wouldn't know – I've never had the courage to ask who he likes.
We do walk to school every morning together, though, the way we have since middle school. We've been friends long before that, spending countless hours as children doing jigsaw puzzles together, but it wasn't until sixth grade that our parents trusted us enough to walk to school alone.

Sh*t on My Hands
Bunny Banyai and Madeleine Hamilton
'Upside of being a parent: pure love. Downside: sh*t on my hands.' So says Bunny Banyai, one of the two authors of this pithy commentary on the twists and turns of parenting under-twos. Blunt, humorous and heartfelt in equal measures, Sh*t on My Hands speaks to everyone heading down the baby-raising road. While there are many parenting books and manuals out there, few offer relief for sleep-deprived parents who feel as if they're getting it all wrong. Broken into chapters for each few months of a baby's life, the book takes on everything from bathing, diaper changing and endless feeding to single parenting and staying sane. With many belly laughs along the way, it will leave every parent with a smile on their face – even though there's nothing we can do about the sh*t on your hands.

Future Plan
Chair: Victoria Prevatt
The ACHF Board of Trustees developed a draft strategic framework in 2010 which can provide ideas for possible implementation by committees.

You see the three kids streak through the lobby of the store first. With their bronze-colored locks, there is no mistaking they are his. You take a deep breath as you prepare yourself to see him outside of the playroom.
You met at a party and felt an instant attraction. His beauty stood out among the other newbies looking for a Dom. He is a good, obedient sub, usually...
He's tied to your bed, his hands and feet bound to the corners. Angry red marks cover his inner thighs; marks made by your riding crop. You don't feel a bit of empathy for him. He wore boxers when you expressly forbade him. He did it on purpose.
Tears glisten in the corners of his eyes. This is what he wants. He comes to you for the pain and pleasure. Nothing else...
You want him and though he doesn't deserve it, you straddle his hips and slide yourself onto his thick cock. Reaching back, your hands on his thighs, you start with slow, purposeful movements. He bucks his hips, wanting more, and you give it to him. You ride him hard as he pleas and whimpers.
You feel the coil tighten in your stomach. You look down, his eyes are closed as he hold back his orgasm. You are almost there. "Okay! Fuck! Come for me!" you scream.
He throws his head back and his back arches as his orgasm rips through him. His breathing slows as his body relaxes. He still doesn't look at you.
As he walks into the store following his kids, he keeps his eyes averted, he won't meet your eyes because you told him not to during your last scene. So obedient...
His hand is nestled at the small of her back. Protecting, caring, nurturing, yeah that's him, always the hero. She's pushing a basket with a squirming toddler, her belly rounded like she might burst into labor any second. She is quite beautiful with her chocolate brown hair and model-esque body, the baby bump a small flaw in her perfection. With four children and one on the way, it's appears they have a healthy sex life to the rest of the world. You know different. They wander through the flowers until she finds what she's looking for.
Tulips. It figures. With her belly in the way she can't reach, so Edward, always the gentleman reaches across the display for her. As his arm extends his shirt rides up and his jeans ride down. A sliver of elastic and cotton flash. He knows you are watching him; he did it on purpose.
She looks at you and smiles, but as she looks over at him, something makes her smile falter. She looks back at you and you busy yourself with the invoices in front of you. Your stomach clenches and you sneak a peak at her. Her eyes are still trained on you, her smile gone, and you can almost see the wheels turning in her head. You reassure yourself that there is no way she could know that you are the other woman in his life. But maybe it's time to let him go. He really should spend more time with his family. They seem so perfect. Such a happy little family. But then how would you know; it's not like there is a lot of talking going on when the two of you are together, mainly because of the ball gag in his mouth.
They stop to look at the blooming tulips around your desk. You busy yourself cleaning the station. Cut flowers litter the floor. You bend to scoop them up. Here you excel at what you do, of course, that is part of your personality. You have to be the best at whatever you do. It's also one of the reasons you are a Domme. You can feel his gaze on you as you stand. He is being reckless. His wife is mere feet from him. A quick look over your shoulder and your gaze locks with his. Yeah. Time to let him go.
His booming laughter carries across the store. You can't help but smile; his laughter is so infectious. You look over at the courtesy booth and he's flashing those dimples at the cute, red-headed, clerk. You roll your eyes as she giggles like a schoolgirl and grabs his bulging biceps. She's too old for him, but here he flirts with all the ladies. Sometimes you wonder what exactly they pay him for, to stock groceries or keep up morale among the ladies at work.
"Emmett! Please! I'm married!" her voice squeals in delight.
"Please!" he begs. You know what he wants. You reach for the harness and pick out one of your smaller dildos. Even though he's been wearing the anal plugs, he's not quite ready for the bigger toys in your collection. With the strap-on in place, you position yourself at his entrance. Slick with lube, you tease his hole with your cock. In his eagerness he leans back and the tip breaches his entrance. So eager... With one thrust your hips smack into his ass.
"Fuck yes!" he cries.
You fuck him hard. The little nubs on the end of the fake cock tease your clit with every thrust. You feel yourself reach the brink. His muscles ripple, making the sweat on his back glisten. His pants and moans fill the room. You reach down and take his cock in your hand. It only takes a couple of strokes and he's coming on the bed sheets. The both of you collapse in to a sweaty, sticky mess. There is a knock at the door. Emmett scrambles to cover himself with a mutter of curses. You just stride to the door, bare -assed and swing it open. Jasper.
"Hey, bitch!" he says with a laugh.
"Hey to you too!" You reply. "I'd like you to meet someone. Jas, this is Emmett."
He leans into the counter and whispers close to her ear. She blushes and playfully slaps his chest.
"Emmett, what about Rosalie? She's a very lovely girl. You need to hurry up and ask her to marry you before she gets away," Victoria chides.
You almost snort. Oh, yeah. Rosalie. You know why he won't ask her to marry him.
He turns your direction and your gaze meets his as he passes the counter. He smiles and gives you a wink. You knew Jasper would be good for him. So even though it kills you, you give him up. He looks so happy.
You let out a nice long sigh.
"Going home?"
You look up at Victoria behind the counter and smile.
"Yeah, about time," you say.
"You working tomorrow?" she asks.
"Yeah, I'll be here. You?"
"Yeah, I'm working. You enjoy your evening."
"I will," you say as you make your way out of the store.
The drive home is a short one. As you let yourself into your studio apartment, you drop your shoes and purse at the door. Clothes come off until you're left in your black lace bra and panties. Walking over to the mirror above the sink, you take in your reflection. Your thick black hair falls down your back as you pull the elastic from your hair. A big stretch and your copper skin flashes in the mirror. You lean over the sink and wash the grime of the day off your face. The doorbell rings. You know who it is. Your heart clenches in your chest. The relationship should have ended a long time ago. You are a Domme now, but you can't seem to let go and neither can he. You signed up for this you remind yourself, although falling for him was not part of the plan.
There is no point in putting on clothes. He's going to want you naked the moment he steps through your door. As you unlock the door, your eyes sweep to the floor. The door opens.
"Master." He obviously came straight from the hospital, no doubt telling his wife he had to work late. You know he lies and lies well. Your entire relationship is built on lies and unspoken truths.
"Leah. How are you?" He pauses. "You may answer."
"Fine," you whisper and try to choke down the tears threatening to escape.
He grabs you by the chin and you are met with his crystal blue eyes burning into yours. You bite your lower lip and he tugs it loose with his thumb. It's like he can see straight into your soul and know you are lying.
"Don't lie to me, Leah. You know how that upsets me." You drop your gaze to the ground. "So, that's the way it's going to be tonight? You are going to defy me?"
You don't make a sound, but he know your answer. He sighs and commands you to strip. In seconds you stand before him bare. He tucks your hair behind your ears and his fingers linger on your cheek. You fight the urge to lean into his open palm. He orders you to the bar stool at your kitchen counter. You lean over with your elbows on the plush pillow tied to the stool, legs spread wide. You can feel your body reacting. It reacts to him. His voice, his smell.
You can hear the click of your toy chest and some rummaging as he finds exactly what he wants. You don't dare turn around to look or the punishment might be worse. You leave all thoughts behind as the paddle smacks hard against your ass.
"Count," he orders.
"One," you whimper.
"Two," you say as you feel the skin of your cheeks heat up.
"Three." And the events of the day wash away.
At four the intensity starts to stir your blood.
Five and your nipples begin to harden.
At six you squirm.
Seven is like fire and that is when the tears come.
Eight is the moment of truth and your body is begging to be taken.
Nine is followed by a pause and the sound of a zipper.
Ten, you scream and beg for him.
You feel hands on your ass, cool to the touch, they feel wonderful. His fingers slide between your lower lips; you are wet and ready. He pumps his fingers in a few times just to be sure. Your knees nearly buckle. He grabs you by the hips and you brace yourself for a pounding, but that's not what you get. Instead, he slowly enters you. He starts a slow rhythm. His hands roam your body, caressing and worshiping. You tell yourself it's not love he is showing you, just lust. You arch up and his fingers find your nipples, tugging and pulling as he quickens his pace. You feel his lips on your neck and he kisses across your shoulder. One hand roams to the juncture between your thighs and his fingers begin to work their magic. Your fingers find their way to the nape of his neck and slide into the silky blond strands. You tug and his rhythm is thrown off as his orgasm takes over. As you feel him fill you, he pinches just the right spot to make you scream his name.
As he slides out, he turns you around and pushes you up against the counter. His lips crash into yours. This is not part of the agreement. The tears fall again because you knew this was coming. But like the masochist you are, you kiss back with the same intensity. He tries to push you toward your bed, but you push him away. You can't go there again. The tenderness he shows you there is too much to handle because you know it's a lie. A beautiful lie, but a lie none the less. A look of hurt crosses his face. He nods, redresses and turns toward the door. He takes a look back. You don't say a word as he turns and leaves. You want to tell him to stay. You don't want him to go home to her. You want him to tell you he loves you...
The door slams and it shocks your senses. You collapse to the floor a sobbing mess.
Saturdays are always busy, so you don't see her until she clears her throat. You jump clearly startled.
"I'm sorry, sweetie. I didn't mean to scare you!"
Your heart all but stops as you realize who it is. You have to find your voice and muster a smile before responding, "Esme! How nice to see you! What can I help you with today?"
You cross your arms over your chest because the damn thing that is trapped inside is trying to escape, and not because she startled you. No, because he was probably with her. You look over her shoulder, but he is nowhere in sight. You, however, are still on edge.
"Well, I need something for a dinner party tonight. Do you have anything bright and colorful?"
"I sure do. Let me show you."
As you walk around picking flowers, you feel a tingle at the base of your neck. He's here. That's when you realize he's been watching you this whole time. Your body tenses as you feel him step up behind you. His hand is at the small of your back and you can't breath. Why is he doing this to you? You've never had any problem being the other woman, but this? This hurts. It shouldn't, but it does.
"Hi, hun!" Esme exclaims. His hand ghosts over your still tender bottom as he brushes past you and kisses his wife on the temple. You resist the urge to flinch. "You remember Leah, don't you Carlisle?"
"Of course, how are you?" he asks.
"Fine." you choke out. "Will you two excuse me?" You turn on your heel and high tail it to the ladies room. Of course he remembers... you did the flowers for their wedding.
You knew there would be pain. Pain unlike anything else you have ever felt, but even as you watch the blood dripping from your wrists into the sink, the pain is nothing compared to the pain in your chest. That damn pain is what you wanted to go away and letting go of everything is the only solution you could think of. As your body falls to the floor you think this is finally it and you close your eyes, but then you hear his voice.
"Leah! Oh, god! Leah, what have you done!"
Not him. Anyone, but him is all you can think. But even on the brink of the end the masochist in you has to see him. With your last ounce of strength, you manage to open your eyes one last time. His blue eyes are filled with tears.
"I love you."

Suzuki, Jeter set tones for M's, Yanks
By Mike Dodd, USA TODAY
SEATTLE The best team in baseball, maybe even a
team for the ages, will open the American League Championship Series here Wednesday.
You'll get virtually no argument on that statement. The only debate is in identifying
the team: the Seattle Mariners, who tied the major league record with 116 regular-season
wins, or the New York Yankees, who have won four world championships in the
last five years. Seattle demonstrated championship grit in its five-game Division
Series victory against Cleveland; New York defined it in overcoming a 0-2 deficit
to defeat Oakland. It's a rematch of the 2000 ALCS, which the Yankees won in
six games, but a much more compelling series this time.
Ichiro Suzuki is the catalyst for a Mariners offense that
leads the majors in runs scored. Derek Jeter is simply the soul of the Yankees.
Their styles and roles are different, their contributions
equally invaluable.
Jeter isn't considered a strong candidate for the AL Most
Valuable Player award, like Suzuki. The Yankees shortstop doesn't put up the
eye-popping numbers. He just wins.
"He makes great plays in great situations," says Yankees
outfielder Shane Spencer, whom Jeter bailed out with his spectacular relay flip
in Game 3 of the Oakland series Saturday night.
Monday night, Jeter went head-over-heels into the photographers'
box as made an over-the-shoulder backhand catch of a foul pop in the eighth
"I guess that's the reason he's wearing so many rings,"
A's manager Art Howe says. "Whenever they need a big play, he's there to make
it. Whenever they need a big hit, he gets it. They have a new Prime Time."
It is no coincidence that the Yankees' string of four world
titles in five years started in Jeter's rookie season. Just 27, he is quickly
carving his place in the gloried Yankees lore.
In the quintessential professionalism of the Yankees' clubhouse,
you hear it, often in understated tones.
"He's always inventing ways to impress people," outfielder
Paul O'Neill says. "And he's got a lot of years to keep doing it."
First baseman Tino Martinez says that when Jeter caught
Spencer's overthrown relay Saturday night, he just assumed the shortstop was
going to hold the ball. Instead, Jeter flipped it in one motion to catcher Jorge
Posada, like an option quarterback, to nail Jeremy Giambi at the plate and preserve
New York's 1-0 victory.
"You don't draw 'em up like that in postseason," Martinez
Indeed, and it'll be known for the rest of this postseason
and beyond as "The Play." It was the turning point of the series, and with the
Yankees' comeback complete, it will be remembered as one of the finest defensive
plays in postseason history.
If the Yankees go on to win their fourth consecutive World
Series, it'll rank with Willie Mays' catch in 1954, Al Gionfriddo's in '47,
Tommie Agee's in '69 and Brooks Robinson's repeated magic in 1970.
Jeter, who still calls his manager Mr. Torre, remains remarkably
centered through it all. He explains his sensational plays matter-of-factly.
"If you are not constantly moving, especially at my position, shortstop, something's
wrong," he says. "You are not doing your job."
Baseball instincts
He offers essentially the same explanation for the record
he set Monday with his 87th career hit in postseason play, passing Pete Rose.
"My job is to get hits and get on base," he says. "We've
been pretty spoiled to play in the postseason so much."
One big reason the Yankees play in the postseason so much
is that every year they can count on Jeter to play 150 games, hit .300-plus
with about 20 homers and 75-100 RBI, hitting second or third in the Yankees'
lineup. This year was typical: .311 average, 21 homers, 74 RBI and 27 steals.
But what really separates him is his baseball instincts.
He is probably the only shortstop in the game who would have made that play
"You win a lot of games that way," he said after Game 3
of his pride in his instincts. "Obviously, defense is very important and running
the bases. There's always room for improvement in those two aspects of the game.
I work on them a lot."
Says Mr. Torre: "From 1996 when I first met the young man,
(he has had) that look in his eye. It's a look that you don't teach. It's a
look that you have, that fire in your belly, and that love for the competition.
This kid ... thinks cool in very hot situations."
The Mariners' Suzuki doesn't qualify as the clubhouse leader
Jeter is he speaks very little English and he's a major league rookie
after seven-plus star seasons in the Japanese leagues but he is one of
the leading candidates for AL MVP.
He made a run at George Sisler's 81-year-old record for
most hits in a season (257), ending with 242 hits and a league-leading .350
batting average while giving the Mariners the leadoff man they've lacked for
"He's just a tremendous all-around player. He's very disciplined;
he plays hard," Seattle manager Lou Piniella says.
How is Piniella's communication with Suzuki? "It's great.
I put his name in the lineup, and basically I let him play."
Suzuki's play throughout the Cleveland series showed his
value to the team he hit .600 (12-for-20), an AL Division Series record,
and tied the ALDS record for most hits in a five-game series.
"That guys flies," Cleveland shortstop Omar Vizquel says.
"If he hits the ball two steps to your right or left, it's almost a sure base
Sharp scrutiny
Suzuki, 27, has handled intense scrutiny all year from
the American media and the group of 20 or so Japanese writers assigned to record
his every sneeze. After some early-season difficulties, the international star
and the media have come to terms. He talks to a pool reporter from the Japanese
contingent daily and will speak with the American media through an interpreter
when the situation warrants it.
"I haven't had any major problem living in Seattle because
it's close to what I had in Japan. Everything is so natural living here. I didn't
know whether I could play here or not. ... What I know about myself is I could
prepare for the game well. I have a lot of confidence with that."
His Mariners teammates admire the way he has settled in.
"He's a sponge. He's picked up a lot of different slang,
a lot of one-liners. He's a funny dude," outfielder Jay Buhner says.
Suzuki and Seattle proved their mettle in the Cleveland
series. Because they built a 15-game lead in the AL West by the end of May,
they faced no pennant pressure.
They passed the test in the last week, when they lost the
opening game of the Indians series at home and fell behind 2-games-to-1 after
a 17-2 blowout loss Saturday in Cleveland. They came back to win Game 4 at Jacobs
Field and returned home to take the deciding game Monday.
"We had a quiet confidence about us," says Buhner of the
comeback. "We're not real flashy and not going to flaunt it, but at the same
time, everybody in here really believed we were going to come back."
The Yankees just grinded through the adversity of being
two games down facing two on the road.
"That speaks volumes for the toughness of this team," Torre
says. "I'm proud of it, and the people of New York are also."
Torre and his team made the historic comeback no
team ever had won a five-game series after losing the first two at home
by taking one step at a time. The key, they said at the time, was Game 3 to
turn the momentum, and that's exactly what happened.
Adds Torre: "The only thing I was telling my club on the
off day in Oakland was the fact that one game turns the whole momentum around.
That's what I preached to them: Think small. They thought small and played big."
It's a formula both AL finalists have added to their textbooks
the last week. The penultimate chapter for the team of the ages starts today.
By next week, we'll know who's writing it.

Strawberry Bundt Cake With Lemon Glaze Drizzle (Uses Cake Mix)
Recipe by BlondieItaliana
A very delicious and moist Strawberry Bundt Cake. You could certainly make this with strawberry glaze or plain sugared glaze if you wanted to, or even just dust with powdered sugar, but my favorite is the lemon glaze topping as it offsets the sweet strawberry flavor perfectly. This cake is very pretty and goes well for brunches, dinner parties, think pink events, etc. Also, the recipe is for a Bundt cake, but you could easily make a layer cake using two 8" round cake pans instead then use a frosting. ** Note: my oven is gas and cooks quickly, you may need to cook a little longer depending your oven, but basically cake is done when toothpick comes out clean.
Top Review by ally525573
This is a very good cake ! I love that it is not hard to make but,it id really tastey! I made it a couple of weeks ago to take to my aunt at the nursing home. She wanted to have a strawberry cake. She thought that it was so good. I think that is super moist and so simple to make which I love. I will make this cake again. I bet that it would be great when the strawberries are fresh. But that time had aready passed when i found this recipe. I can hardly wait to try it when the season comes back around. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe with us.

I'm currently in the process of configuring IIS and Tomcat 4.03. After tinkering for a couple days I'm still receiving a 500 IIS error. As with the original sender I don't have a problem accessing Tomcat via port 8080. I followed the AJP instructions supplied with Tomcat, and it successfully created the auto folder under the conf directory but I still get the 500 error. What are you thoughts? -Brad -----Original Message----- From: Tarun Ramakrishna Elankath [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: Monday, April 08, 2002 2:54 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: IIS and TC 4.03 I managed to get Tomcat 4.03 + IIS working on my box (though it took some tinkering around). I used the tomcat-iis documentation on the ajp connector (in the configuration reference). Just follow it and ignore the other howto's on the web (which are outdated). At what point did you get stuck ? Follow the documentation and add listeners at the Server and Virtual Host level. Tomcat automatically generates a .reg file and a uriworkermap.properties file in the conf/auto directory However a third file 'workers.properties' is missing from the 4.03 distribution and you need to get it from somewhere. You also ofcourse need to get the redirector dll. Be sure that the file is renamed to 'isapi_redirect.dll' instead of 'isapi_redirector.dll' which is the file available for download from the 4.03 bin directory. I plan to write some wsh scripts or some software in about 2 weeks time for easy integration for Tomcat with IIS. The process is unnecessarily obtuse.
