Toronto Marathon Ban - Banning Marathons Because of Road CongestionSubmitted by runningpage (not verified) on Tue, 05/31/2011 - 2:21pm
Here we go again, another group of marathon haters start throwing tantrums and their uneducated two cents worth because roads get closed early on a Sunday morning for a few hours for the Goodlife Toronto Marathon. This marathon for those that don't know used to run in October 1 month after the Scotiabank Waterfront Marathon and was recently moved to May by the City of Toronto. Recently a local Toronto newspaper columnist wrote about her experience running the half marathon and talks about road management etc.

geany fails to open files on xfs (inode 64)
|Assigned to
|geany (Ubuntu)
Bug Description
The problem affects past and current version of geany on various
*buntu flavors and versions (tested only on 32 bit distributions)
I have various text files on a large (little less than 2TB) xfs formatted volume
which geany consistently fails to open (value too large...).
The problem arises from stat() calls passing the address of a structure of unfit size.
It probably depends on inode numbers as the file sizes are just few kBs.
I found that the stat() source code example (see "man -s2 stat") produces the
same error (value too large...) when tested with those files.
The problem is easily solved by rebuilding with -D_FILE_
I've been using for a few months geany rebuilt with a #define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64
at the start of the main header and it looks like that solved the problem.
It would be great if you could patch the next geany.deb releases since it looks
like the problem is relatively common (google: "geany value too large").

Chilling Adventures In Sorcery #5: "Barometer Falling..."
Download Chilling Adventures In Sorcery #5
"The Old Ones... a superstitious dread was still connected with everything to do with them. This place would be shunned by all who passed by. Only a fool or a madman would linger here... or perhaps--a hero."
Featuring the traditional Gray Morrow-style barbarian, two mercenary-warriors discover a hidden chamber with a genetically altered spiderwoman inside and mistakenly believe they've found their pot of gold. Of course, there's a surprise ending as this was written and illustrated by the phenomenally talented Gray Morrow, but you'll have to read the story for yourself in order to find out.
Chilling Adventures in Sorcery #5 also sports one of the best looking comic book covers of all time, in my opinion.

The European Commission's newest guidance on patents essential to widely used technology standards clarifies the responsibilities for both patent owners and technology implementers, lawyers told Bloomberg Law.
The commission's approach will likely be welcomed by patent holders, since it clarifies that those looking to get licenses also have obligations to negotiate fairly.
The shift to focusing on the obligations of would-be licensees, and not just patent owners, reflects changes in markets such as mobile devices, Richard Vary, a patent partner with Bird & Bird LLP in London, said. Previously, patent owners were the big companies, but now many of the implementers, especially successful smartphone manufacturers, have a lot of market power.
"It reflects a shift in the power dynamics," he said.
The communication, released Nov. 29, clarifies that in SEP licensing discussions, the obligation to negotiate in a fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory manner (FRAND) applies to both parties. For example, a company looking to license the technology must make concrete, specific counteroffers, the communication said.
The guidance isn't binding law but, instead, provides a framework to determine if the parties are meeting their FRAND obligations. That's particularly important when the patent holder seeks an injunction to block the would-be implementer's products from market.
Licensing negotiations involving patents that apply to industry-wide standards can be especially contentious because of worries that patent owners can act as gatekeepers to entire industries. Because of these antitrust concerns, companies who declare their patents are essential to a standard are usually required to agree to give out licenses to the technology on FRAND terms, before the standard is finalized.
The communication's guidance on injunctions adopts the Court of Justice of the European Union's approach in Huawei Techs. Co. Ltd. v. ZTE Corp. , which says SEP holders should not be allowed to get injunctions against implementers who are willing to take a license on FRAND terms.
The commission said the exact requirements on the parties will differ in each case and each industry but, generally, the SEP holder must offer a clear explanation about why the patent is essential, the allegedly infringing products, a proposed royalty calculation, and why the offer isn't discriminatory.
The implementer's counteroffer must similarly be sufficiently concrete in order to meet FRAND obligations, the commission said. A counteroffer that simply disagrees with the patent owner's position and makes general references to having a third party determine an appropriate royalty rate isn't sufficient, the commission said. What's more, the implementer should respond in a timely manner, though whether a response is timely is case-specific, it said. Generally, the longer it takes to make a counteroffer, the more detailed that counteroffer should be, the commission said.
Rather than taking a more prescriptive approach, the commission is using "its discretion judiciously and have left the field open for the stakeholders to develop tailored and sector-focused FRAND terms while providing the general guiding principles that should be kept in mind while conducting good faith negotiations and discussing FRAND terms," Rajesh Sagar, a patent managing associate with Marks & Clerk LLP in London, told Bloomberg Law.
The European Commission's communication also seeks to increase transparency in the standards setting process.
The standards developing organizations (SDOs) keep databases on what patents have been declared essential by the patent owners. That information forms the foundation of licensing negotiations, and there is concern about incorrect or out-of-date information.
Some of the commission's proposals include having patent owners update declarations after a standard has been finalized and provide more information about why a patent is essential. It also recommended having a third party check whether a declared patent is actually essential, though acknowledging that such a process must not be too costly.
"The proposed ideas are radically different to the procedure and policies currently followed by most, if not all, SDOs," Sagar said. Patent owners usually self-declare that their patents and applications are essential, and there is typically no method for checking this, he said, adding that since both the standard and the patent application can change significantly during the standard-setting process, the information in the database can often be incorrect.
Vary suggested there are also other mechanisms SDOs can consider. For example, requiring declaring parties to pay to maintain their declarations, he said, would encourage them to be more careful and update them.
Part of the issue is that SDOs previously tended to encourage over-declaration of potential essential patents, he said, because so-called "submarine" patents, or essential patents that were never declared and later used to sue implementers, were seen as a more serious concern.
But now, with the values of licenses getting higher and higher, there's more demand for more accurate information, especially since declared patents tend to be presumed essential.
Having better information would be particularly helpful for industries with newer companies that have little patent licensing experience, like the internet of things market, the commission said.

Do you send out announcements to your lists? Why not turn that into an article on your site right after? Seems like a no-brainer but it's a step a lot of companies forget.
Have a list for newsletters? What about the time in between or when you forget to write your monthly or bi-monthly newsletter? This is where DRIP campaigns come in. I can help you create evergreen content – one topic per email that will go out to your list depending when they signed up. You can have different forms to feed into the same list, different campaigns with different tone of messages. Perhaps you have a few client groups and want something that appeals specifically to each one. You can do that, too and it's all automated once it's in place.
If you have a list already, but not much happens with it, I can review it, make recommendations and you can have me implement them, or take the ideas to your in-house team to put in place.
This is a great way to bring life back to prior webinars, podcasts, blog posts that you've recently updated or update regularly.

McMINNVILLE, Ore. - JT Phelan hit a solo home run in the 11th inning to give Whitworth a 4-3 win over #1 seed and tournament host Linfield in round one of the 2017 Northwest Conference Baseball Tournament.
The Pirates (23-13, 12-12 NWC) will return to action against the winner of the 5 p.m. game between Willamette, who took down Pacific Lutheran 6-5. Whitworth's game against the Bearcats will be April 22 at 3 p.m.
With runners on first and second, Garrett Hughes loaded the bases for Nicholas Nerud. Nerud brought home Joel Condreay with a sac fly to center field, giving the Pirates a 1-0 advantage halfway through the fifth.
The Wildcats started the sixth inning with consecutive doubles to tie the game up at 1-1. With runners on the corners, Jared Evans gave the home team a 2-1 lead with a single, scoring teammate Ben Andrews.
After starting off the eighth inning with back-to-back walks and a balk to put the runners in scoring position, Whitworth's Tyler Bailey hit an RBI ground out to second base, tying the game up at 2-2. On the next at bat, J.T. Phelan hit an RBI single to put the Pirates back on top.
In the bottom of the ninth, the home team rallied with one down with an RBI single to center field. The Pirates put together a double-play on a line drive to third base to end the inning.
Both teams retired the first three opposing betters in the 10th inning, but in the 11th, Phelan sent a solo home run out of left field for a 4-3 Pirate lead. T.J. Orchard and the Whitworth defense sat down the first two batters on a ground out and popout before walking Linfield's Joey Cassano. Phelan ended the game and sealed the win for the Pirates with a routine pop fly to right field.
Phelan went 2-5 with two RBIs and a run, including his home run in the 11th to lead the Whitworth offense. Nerud (0-3) and Bailey (0-5) added one RBI apiece. For the 'Cats, Ben Andrews went 3-4 with an RBI, one run and walk.
T.J. Orchard (2-0) picked up his second win of the season, coming in in the 10th inning and recording one strike out and giving up no hits. Matt Young pitched the first five innings and gave up five hits and a walk against 23 at bats. Dylan Peters (2-2) gets the loss for Linfield after giving up the go ahead home run in the top of the 11th.

Jez Humble, David Farley
The step-by-step guide to going live with new software releases faster - reducing risk and delivering more value sooner! * *Fast, simple, repeatable techniques for deploying working code to production in hours or days, not months! *Crafting custom processes that get developers from idea to value faster than ever. *Best practices for everything from source code control to dependency management and in-production tracing. *Common obstacles to rapid release - and pragmatic solutions. In too many organizations, build, testing, and deployment processes can take six months or more. That's simply far too long for today's businesses. But it doesn't have to be that way. It's possible to deploy working code to production in hours or days after development work is complete - and Go Live presents comprehensive processes and techniques for doing so. Written by two of the world's most experienced software project leaders, this book demonstrates how to dramatically increase speed while reducing risk and improving code quality at the same time. The authors cover all facets of build, testing, and deployment, including: configuration management, source code control, release planning, auditing, compliance, integration, build automation, and more. They introduce a wide range of advanced techniques, including inproduction monitoring and tracing, dependency management, and the effective use of virtualization. For each area, they explain the issues, show how to mitigate the risks, and present best practices. Throughout, Go Live focuses on powerful opportunities for individual improvement, clearly and simply explaining skills and techniques so they can be used every day on real projects. With this book's help, any development organization can move from idea to release faster -- and deliver far more value, far more rapidly.
Mike Cohn
Goes beyond the strategy of just enough planning and estimating, and shows readers how to make agile practices truly work organizationally.
Kent Beck
Beck wants to encourage readers to re-examine their preconceptions of how software development ought to occur. He does just that in this overview of Extreme Programming, a controversial approach to software development which challenges the notion that the cost of changing a piece of software must rise dramatically over the course of time.
Vincent Maraia
Managing builds is crucial to the profitable delivery of high-quality software; however, the build process has been one of the least-understood stages of the entire development lifecycle. Now, one of Microsoft's leading software build experts introduces step-by-step best practices for maximizing the reliability, effectiveness, timeliness, quality, and security of every build you create.
Roman Pichler
A comprehensive, expert guide to Scrum-based agile project ownership and management: roles, techniques, practices, and intangibles * *An indispensable resource for Scrum 'product owners,' the pivotal players in Scrum projects - and for all stakeholders who interact with them. *Covers product vision, exploration, user stories, use cases, planning poker, release planning, and much more. *Responds to one of the most crucial challenges in making agile work in the enterprise: finding and training the right product owner. In Scrum projects, the product owner plays a pivotal role, but until recently, few have been trained in the unique skills, techniques, and attitudes they need to succeed in this role. That's why courses on Scrum product ownership are soaring in popularity - and it's why this book is so important. Agile Product Management with Scrum is the first book to define and describe the role of agile product ownership in a systematic and comprehensive way. It covers a broad range of agile practices from the product owner's perspective, including product vision, exploration, user stories, use cases, 'planning poker,' sprints, release planning, portfolio management, and more. Drawing on extensive experience helping organizations succeed with Scrum, top agile consultant Roman Pichler gets down to the brass tacks: saving time and money while improving both quality and agility. He also addresses critical upstream processes and 'fuzzy front end' that organizations must get right if they are to adopt Scrum across the enterprise. This practical book is an indispensable resource for everyone who plays the role of product owner, or anticipates doing so. It will also be extremely useful to all stakeholders who interact with product owners - which is to say, the entire Scrum project team.

So the user loses their work. In my experience, that last-in-wins-with-history results in lost work, because it succeeds for all users but most of them aren't notified that their work is dumped _only_ in the history file (assuming you have one). They send in their work, get a successful response, assume they don't need to do anything more, and move on to something else. They think their work is finished with, but it's effectively lost because nobody is ensuring it reaches the place that matters. It's recoverable, but that is not enough. > There's a reason why version control software uses last-in-wins > (sometimes with merging for conflicts), you can roll back to the version > you want then. In my experience version control software uses first-in-wins and everyone else has to resync and fix conflicts locally before they can submit their changes to a shared server.

The Molokai Channel
The Molokai Channel is a 26mile stretch of water between the Hawaiian Islands of Molokai and Oahu. It is a deep stretch of pacific ocean at it's deepest over 2000m which is a hell of a lot deeper than the English Channel for example which barely reaches 50m. It is filled with seriously stingy jellyfish and seriously big sharks. Makes you wonder why you would want to attempt swimming it!
But it has been swum and conquered a total of 25 times to date. It is my ambition to make the 26th successful crossing early next month.
It will most likely be my longest swim to date, and unless I am extremely lucky with quite possibly the most challenging swimming conditions also. Although cold is not an issue, hyperthermia and dehydration is and this stretch of water can get seriously rough. Take a look at this video of an outrigger race in the channel.
As with several of my previous swims I am fund raising for two very worthy charities - Pancreatic Cancer UK and The Shark Trust. Anyone who has had someone close to them diagnosed with pancreatic cancer will know just how lethal a form of cancer this is. With only a 20% survival rate 1 year after diagnosis and 5% after 5 years, my father-in-law is one of the few lucky ones. Hopefully with time and research new treatments and possibly cures will become available.
The Shark Trust is a small UK based environmental charity that raises awareness about the conservation of sharks and their marine habitat. Did you know over 100 million sharks are killed each year by shark finning - the cruel practice of cutting the fin off a shark while it is still alive and then letting it drown. At this rate in 10 years many species of sharks will be threatened with extinction.
There is a link to my fundraising page here.

A Lily Among Thorns is the second book I've read by Rose Lerner. Back in January, I read and loved her first book In For A Penny. So, when I saw that A Lily Among Thorns was available on NetGalley I jumped at the chance to review it. I'm actually jumping the gun a little bit, because the book isn't set for release until September.
The plot of this book didn't appeal to me quite as much as her first book. Here we have Serena and Solomon. When Solomon was younger, his friends tried to get him to lose his virginity via prostitute. Yep, you guessed it – the prostitute was Serena. Well, he couldn't go through with it so he just shoved his little purse of money at her and took off like the terrified little virgin he was. This changed the whole course of Serena's life y'all, because that money? There was a lot of it. She ends up opening her own inn. Years later, she and Solomon cross paths again and chaos ensues – lost jewelry, spies, long lost brothers…you name it. As they become more involved in the events going on around them, they also become more involved with each other. They have some fierce chemistry.
I usually don't pick up too many historical romance novels featuring prostitutes, mistresses and the like. For Rose Lerner I made an exception. Even though the plot is fairly complex and non-stop…I still found myself losing interest in what would happen next – just didn't get that involved with the action side of the story. I'm not saying it wasn't exciting…but spies and family drama aren't exactly rare plot lines in the world of historical romance.
That being said, I was about halfway through the book when I realized that no way was I putting it down until I was finished. Rose Lerner has a way of making her characters matter. Serena was vibrant and self-confident, Solomon was slightly nerdy and much less self aware. I couldn't get enough of them together – their interactions and dialogue. Even though I didn't care as much about what was happening in the background of the plot, I was still crazy invested in these characters.
So, if you're a fan of the genre and/or stories that are very much character driven – this is the book for you! While I had a few more issues with this book than I did her first release, I still very much believe this book is worth reading. I can't wait to see what Rose writes next!

Check out my recommendations in my Amazon Idea List too:
This is my list of must have kitchen tools that you need to be a home cook. These are all products I personally use in my own kitchen. Many of them have provided me with great success. It's so important to have quality tools at your disposal. These tools need to work well to make cooking at home a success. Check them out below! This page is full of affiliate links, meaning if you purchase a product through a link I recommend, I will earn a small commission on the sale. With that said, I will NEVER post a product on this page that I don't believe in and use personally. If you ever have any questions about the products here just email me email@example.com and I will answer them for you.
Let's start at the beginning. You need solid high quality cookware to cook your food evenly and properly. Investing in cookware will pay off in the long run. You'll be happier with the food you create and if taken care of they will last your lifetime. Yes…your lifetime. I prefer the All-Clad Stainless Steel Tri-Poly Series. These pans are heavy and durable and work great. They can go straight from the stove top to the oven. If you heat the pan and fat properly, even your eggs won't stick. I need to make a video of that (coming soon). They clean up easily and for tough stuck on food, Bar Keeper's Friend will clean the toughest spots. These are the five pans below I recommend starting with. Small and large frying pans, a saute pan with a lid, and small and large sauce pans with lids. Click on an image below to see all the details on Amazon. I also have a roasting pan that I love and have an image below of, and a large stock pot. Personally I hardly use the stock pot because I love my dutch oven so much. My favorite dutch oven is pictured below. It too is an investment, but well worth the money. It can also go from stove top to oven seamlessly and will also last your lifetime if taken well care of. I also recommend a cast iron skillet. The one I use was my husband's great grandmothers. It's over 100 years old and still works like a champ. Lodge makes great cast iron products. I highly recommend them.
A great kitchen knife is another item that I refuse to budge on. You really need a high quality blade to make cooking not only easier but safer. A dull blade or poorly weighted knife is not good for anyone and can be extremely dangerous. Investing in a good set of blades is necessary and I've included picture links below to my very favorite brand, Wusthof. I prefer the Wusthof Classics but they have other styles out there. I believe starting out you only need a chef's knife, a paring knife, and a medium serrated knife. If you have those three you can do literally anything you need. I've included what I have in my kitchen below. Don't forget an amazing pair of kitchen shears. They not only cut open pesky packages while cooking, but cut through kitchen twine and chicken bones easily if needed. Do yourself a favor and only get a pair that comes apart for an easier time cleaning.
Cook's Tools
It's easy to go crazy in this area, trust me I've seen the bins at Williams-Sonoma and coveted many a useless tool. Here's my two cents on the subject: unless you absolutely HAVE to have it don't buy any tool that you will only use for one thing. For instance, an avocado cutter, really? Use a knife and save the drawer space. A strawberry huller? Use a pairing knife. An egg slicer? Again use a knife! A melon baller, use a teaspoon. The list goes on and on. Here are my top picks for cook's tools. Click on an image below for more info.
Cutting Boards
You need a good solid block general purpose cutting as well as dishwasher safe ones for messy jobs and cutting raw meat. You can invest in a cutting board that catches the juices from cooked meats, but I wouldn't use that to cut and dice vegetables with. It would all get stuck in those grooves and become real annoying really fast. For the love of your knives please do no use glass or stone! Use wood. I also love Epicurean cutting boards and their various sizes. These boards are safe for your knives and go right into the dishwasher for easy clean up. I've also included mineral oil to clean your wood block and make it look brand new again.
Pans are essential to cooking. Not only do you bake with them, but you roast vegetables, and make casseroles in them. There's nothing fancy or different with these, but I've listed what I think you need for a kitchen starting out. I've included a 9″ deep pie dish in this section. I am obsessed with my Emile Henry pie dish that I have had for about ten years. It's a deep pie dish and can accommodate anything. I love to use it for breakfast casseroles and quiches too.
Small Appliances
You can also go crazy with small appliances. I tend to stick with the basics. If you have the resources (or are registering for your wedding) splurge on a KitchenAid mixer. I had no idea at the time all the things I would do with mine. I love to bake with it obviously, but the attachments are so handy. I love using one appliance in place of having tons of them around. I use the ice cream maker attachment and the pasta attachment. It's also useful for shredding meat. It's well worth the money and will also last forever if you take care of it. I've included some of the attachments here. I love my All Clad slow cooker, and while I admit it's one of the more expensive models you can buy, it's so worth it. It's larger than most crock pots on the market and so well made. If I want things to be kept warm, it warms them without putting them into a simmer like most other models. And by this point you know my love of all things All Clad. I use an immersion blender for soups more than a regular blender so I've recommended my favorite one here. So many color options! And speaking of blenders, as much as I would love a Vitamix Blender I just can't part with $500 for one. I love my classic Oster Beehive Blender. I have the copper one. I've had it for 12 years and don't regret it.
Spices and Other Products
Favorite Cookbooks
I take cookbooks very seriously. I pour over them, study them and mark them. I use them over and over and the ones I go back to again and again are listed here. These books are beaten up and have food stains in them. The sign of success in my opinion.

Viacom18 eyes merchandising Colors, VH1 brands in India1 min read . Updated: 28 Dec 2009, 02:56 PM IST
Viacom18 eyes merchandising Colors, VH1 brands in India
Viacom18 eyes merchandising Colors, VH1 brands in India
New Delhi: Buoyed by the success of shows such as Big Boss and Hit Factory, media house Viacom18 is mulling to come out with merchandise products for entertainment channels like Colors and VH1 in India.
Viacom18, a 50:50 joint venture between US-based Viacom and Network18 Group, is also looking to expand its existing MTV merchandise by foraying into footwear in 2010.
Besides MTV, the company owns and operates television channels like Colors, Nickelodeon and VH1 in India.
"We will look at merchandising our other properties like VH1 and Colors and also expand our existing brands. There are definitely opportunities," Viacom18 Vice-President(Consumer Products and Communications) Sandeep Dahiya said.
He, however, did not specify the time frame for coming out with merchandise for Colors and VH1 in India.
Big Boss on Colors has been a hit with the Indian audience and in its third season saw wrestler Dara Singh's son Vindoo Dara Singh walking away with a prize money of Rs1 crore.
At present, Viacom 18 sells paper products, watches, bedsheets and co-branded sim cards under the brands 'MTV´ and 'Roadies´ (a reality show on the channel) and soft toys under the Nickelodeon brand.
"We would like to expand into various categories like footwear and head gear, earliest by next year (for the MTV brand). We are present in around eight categories and can add another 15 more," he said.
Dahiya said in India, the MTV merchandise sells more than the Nickledeon, accounting for over 90 per cent of the firm's merchandising revenue, although globally Nickelodeon merchandise sells more.
He, however, did not share the details of revenue from the merchandise business but said the company expects about 20-25% of its revenues coming from licensing its brands over the next three years.
"Right now, merchandising is less than 10% of our revenues. But it has the potential to grow to 20-25% over the next three years," he said.

My Journey to Body Confidence
By Unknown - 6:57:00 PM
~A break from all the "I'm a proud parent" entries~
Bag and Shirt, Mango
Shoes, Zalora
Skirt, H&M
My personal struggle and how I coped up…..
I want to share something I've been struggling for years and how I managed to navigate my way to body positive. My journey to Body Confidence has been a tough one.
Being on the extra petite size and managing to dress up my underweight 5'0" height to look more fashionable and matured is not an easy task. You know that punched-in-the-gut feeling you get when someone intentionally scans your small frame and goes on criticizing every inch of your body?
"You're too skinny" "Anorexic"With No Appetite"
"You should eat more carbs/food" and a lot more body shaming going on after.
I can take honest, (professional) and constructive comments seriously by heart. But I can be very sensitive to criticisms especially when it's something personal that sometimes they even go as far as questioning my lifestyle, background, and personal choices. Like OUCH who died and made you king of everything?
Fast-forward to now and the positive idea…..
I know these insecurities and fears too well. It has been a long hard journey for me. And I'm not saying I was able to escape it entirely coz' people will never stop finding faults in you. But eventually, I learned to bounce back by strengthening my weaknesses. These experience and criticisms helped me grow, as both a blogger and a person. And guess what this even gave me an empowering idea on what positive impact I could pass on to other people by accentuating their positive feature rather than pointing out their flaws.
Another defining moment is, maybe we all feel unconfident and discouraged sometimes but that doesn't give us the right to be mean to others. Oftentimes, mean people have their fair share of negative comments, somebody probably made them cold. And it's normal that this one little action, a chain reaction will never stop. But the cycle must end right now. And it starts with us being "confidently beautiful with a heart"!
Of course, that's easier said than done. (Even the Miss Universe works hard for it) J
Let's take the baby step at a time, tip-toe if you like...
Here are few trial and error tips in finally finding my inner strength. But remember, it's a work in progress;
I started to change my inner dialogue
Sometimes, the mind can be your worst enemy so be extra careful what you feed in regularly. Instead of focusing on the negative, I work my way to Body Positive, being healthy is my main priority.
Exercise, Diet, and Vitamins
I talked to my doctor about the right kind of vitamins to take and some exercising tips to gain weight. He recommends Vitamin B12, protein-rich diet, and simple weight lifting exercises to add muscle to my tiny frame.
I surrounded myself with positive people
There will always some people who will make you feel less significant and trick you to society's toxic definition of beauty. Always stand up for yourself and what you believed in. I learned the hard way of letting go people despite ~ gossips and bad blood ~ and commit myself to people with a positive outlook and encouraging perspective.
I exerted effort on how to dress up my 5'0" height.
I followed few petite celebrities & bloggers and copied their style. (I love Rachel Bilson and Taylor Swift; they have the best clothes and the hottest boyfriends. Lol! ) I continually search out on some fashion stores and pick out the ones that cater petite sizing. I see to it that a dress should work on my body and not the other way around. And reality check, some international brands just don't assimilate with tiny frames, it isn't their brand's target market. I'm glad Zalora TH runs small sizing and their spread is equally chic and of good quality.
If all else fails, SMILE– it's an instant prettifier!
And lastly, this mantra applies.
"You're beautiful no matter what they say. Words can't bring you down".
There are general laws of the universe; "NOBODY'S PERFECT" "WE CAN'T PLEASE EVERYBODY". But we can be good and body confident and in any case, stop being mean to ourselves.
Happy love month everyone,
P.S. If you ever see me on my messy ponytail, unflattering company uniform or basically rocking the lazy outfit like always, please say hi and feel free to speak what's on your mind. Hahaha. I won't mind it at all though since I feel lucky and confident esp. now that motherhood works pretty well to my advantage. I'm beyond blessed that I have a household to run, a job to do, a family to care for, a blog to work on and a precious little time to take care of myself to even focus on the negative.
So, let's stay awesome?
So, let's stay awesome?

Joanna Krupa's having herself a big month -- first she settled an ongoing lawsuit ... and now she's back on the market.
Joanna's marriage to Romain Zago is officially over ... and it's hard to imagine a divorce going more smoothly. Neither side sought spousal support, and we're told they split things up evenly -- she keeps the L.A. pad and he gets the house in Miami. Romain also gets visitation rights ... for their dogs.
Joanna tells TMZ ... the 2 are grateful for their time together and "wish each other nothing but continued happiness and success." She also says she's taking time for herself and focusing on her projects, and hopes their amicable divorce can inspire others.
This comes on the heels of Krupa and Brandi Glanville reaching a settlement in the infamous smelly vagina lawsuit ... which Joanna also hopes can serve as inspiration.

Not only is brunch a perfect time for gathering with friends, it's also a great time to check out new restaurants or different dishes than what you might have at dinner. Here's a glimpse at some of the newest brunches around town.
All-Purpose: Italian-American brunch specialties are the name of the game here, including baked eggs "fra diavolo" (similar to eggs in purgatory) with spicy tomato sauce or a toasted tigelle (round Italian bread) sandwich with mortadella, egg and cheese. Of course, there are breakfast pizzas, too. 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Sunday. 1250 Ninth St. NW.
Arroz: At Mike Isabella's Spanish and Moroccan spot, there's a good bit of crossover with the dinner menu, but brunch-only dishes include Moroccan pancakes, a manchego omelet, a ras el hanout "cinnamon roll" and a burger. Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. 901 Massachusetts Ave. NW.
[Arroz gives Mike Isabella another hit in a growing D.C. dining empire]
Del Campo: Chef Victor Albisu recently introduced a variety of cosmetic and menu changes at his South American grill, and a revamped brunch was one of them. The asado buffet has carved meats (smoked briskets, Peruvian chicken), antipasto (empanadas, biscuits) and unlimited mimosas and punch. Saturday and Sunday 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. 777 I St. NW.
[At Del Campo, a reimagined tour of South America, noodles included]
Joselito: This is another option for a Spanish riff on brunch. Think fried eggs with Iberico ham and fries or Andalusian-style French toast. There's also a $15 bottomless option for mimosas, bellinis, Bloody Marys and sangria. 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. 660 Pennsylvania Ave. SE.
Ladurée: The Parisian macaron house does more than the delicate sandwich cookies. Brunch brings a prix fixe menu with such fare as avocado toast, pastries and fruit salad. 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. 3060 M St. NW.
Rosario: Expect creative brunch dishes with Italian flair. Examples: cacio e pepe biscuits with creamed chipped bresaola, poached eggs and grapes; an eggplant parm eggs Benedict; and cannoli bomboloni. 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. 2435 18th St. NW.
[Rosario review: An elevated neighborhood spaghetti house in Adams Morgan]
Ruta del Vino: The Latin American wine bar and restaurant offers a relatively concise but enticing brunch menu. Options include chilaquiles (fried tortillas with eggs, cheese and more), pan frances (brioche French toast) with dulce de leche, and a breakfast torta, or sandwich, with chorizo, eggs and refried beans. 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. 800 Upshur St. NW.
Stable: Swiss specialties at this restaurant include doughnuts filled with strawberry jam, rösti (a kind of large potato pancake) with eggs, and a pork schnitzel sandwich. You can also make a reservation for the grill-your-own raclette cheese experience. 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. 1324 H St. NE.
Siren: Sure, even at brunch you can splurge on a seafood platter or caviar at Robert Wiedmaier's new restaurant inside the Darcy Hotel. But for more of an everyday meal, go for such dishes as the buttermilk cinnamon waffle, poached eggs on brioche or yellowtail crudo. 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. 1515 Rhode Island Ave. NW.

We all know a picture is worth a thousand words. This could not be more true than when selling software solutions. As a partner you have many avenues to get ahold of the product bits to build your own demo environments and to learn from. Additionally, we have other demonstration tools available to you if you know where they are. It can often be hard to find and know the wealth of resources available to you, much less keep abreast of the changes and updates to them.
Microsoft Online Demo Solutions or http://mssalesdemos.com is one resource that provides a wealth of content that can be leveraged for customer demonstrations, learning, and as a place to get ideas for your own demos. The beauty of this resource is that as long as you have an internet connection, you are golden. There is no need to have several virtual machines running locally to demonstrate a compelling solution. All the VMs are hosted virtually and spun up on demand or by pre-scheduled appointment. What is more, Microsoft Online Demo Solutions, has been updated to incorporate demos fro SQL Server 2012 and System Center 2012 and incorporate downloads for offline demos too!. A screen shot of the catalog is below.
The Description of the SQL Server 2012 content is as follows:
The new SQL Server 2012-RC0 demo is fully integrated with SQL Server 2012, SharePoint 2010 and Office 2010 including:
- PowerPivot and MDS Excel integration
- Reporting Services integration with SharePoint
- Power View integrated with SharePoint
- Data Quality Services
- Master Data Services
- Multidimensional and Tabular instances of SQL Server 2012 Analysis Services
- Visual Studio 2010
- Silverlight 5
- Picnic Power View sample loaded
This image also includes demos of the RC0 version of AutoSales, TailspinToys, Contoso Energy, Telco (PowerPivot and Power View), Contoso Schools and the Telco demo.
You can run the demo solution interactively thru this site or download the Virtual Machine to install and run locally from: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=28802
The Base ImageX Server is a virtual machine that can be hosted in Hyper-V that allows a user to test out the latest Business Intelligence features of SQL Server 2012 – RC0. The virtual machine has been configured to support the use of PowerView reports, PowerPivot Excel documents and various content packs allowing the user to explore the capabilities of SQL Server 2012. Working with the demos that can be installed on the ImageX server the user will have a clear picture of how the SQL Server 2012, Office and SharePoint tools support and enhance the self-service business intelligence environment.
In Addition to the above, there are seven demonstration scripts for download.
The System Center 2012 content is a slight departure from the classic hosted demo. I would imagine we will add one shortly, but as of today the System Center 2012 demos include downloadable click though vignettes created and re-playable via the DemoMate product from Impresys.
The description of the Private Cloud Demos with System Center 2012 is below:
There is no Virtual Machine for this Demo Solution!
Microsoft® offers the most comprehensive approach for customers to deploy cloud solutions with an end-to-end framework for application and infrastructure management. Microsoft Private Cloud provides customers with a highly flexible and customizable platform to meet even the most demanding mission-critical requirements. This demonstration showcases the following scenarios:
- Multi-Hypervisor Management
- Bring Heterogeneous Hypervisors Under Management
- Self-Service Provisioning via Service Catalog
- Service Manager Reporting
- Application Controller Walkthrough
- Application Performance Monitoring
The click through demonstrations are zip files listed under the documents tab. Videos are also available.
I find these demonstration resources quite valuable as they save me time and allow me to demonstrate technologies on short notice. I refer partners to them routinely, and hope you take a few moments to investigate this valuable tool for your sales tool bag.

This three-credit hour class focuses on one aspect of practice of law-argument in front of an appellate court, in this case the United States Supreme Court. Students work with partners to prepare oral arguments and/or legal briefs on a case involving an important set of constitutional principles, then either participate in the American Moot Court Association regional program or submit a written brief in the brief writing contest. The class uses a minimum of lecture and focuses instead on developing the ability to read, analyze and synthesize Supreme Court decisions, allowing students to apply the concepts from class to a simulated constitutional law case.

A whole outtakes book would be so cool, I had my doubts when she flashed the titty on MDNA but you know what ??? fuck it and fuck the masses,ReplyDelete
I love the 3rd shot. Hell I love them all! Nice trimmed bush :)ReplyDelete
I disagree with the other six bloggers! The Sex book was a huge mistake, a big blot on Madonna's life and she well knew it! Along with American Life, the Sex book will go down as Her Riot Act! In Madonna's own words, "The Sex book was an Act of Rage on my part! One long rebellion! I am not proud of it!" From Take a Bow to MDNA, the Sex book deserves to be forgotten, a low point in an otherwise brilliant career, seen through in her Rearview Mirror. The beatings have made her wise-Madonna learned her lesson well.ReplyDeleteReplies
Where did you find that quote from Madonna? I find it rather lame. Madonna built her legacy on pushing people's buttons and telling them to fuck off. She has most often said that she regrets nothing she has done. Nor should she.Delete
Rabbitbunny Read that book again with new eyes, its an act of rebellion on "an act of rage" that no one will ever forget, The sex book will be remembered for the rest of time as one of her finest moments, Her one mistake that made one of the most impression's in her whole career, who the fuck else did anything like that since or before that anyone remembers ???? I've said this before, this book may have dented her rein and taken a few years for the "general public" to forgive but as an era, 92 Erotic will always be the most talked about era of any generationDelete
The last pictures are NOT MadonnaReplyDelete
yeah baby this is what we search a sexy girls facebook du sexe and facebook of sexReplyDelete

The holiday hangover days between Christmas and New Year's are sort of the year's remainders to begin with, so it's a perfectly appropriate time to check out these remainders: Google phones, space probes, misspellings, and one serious party popper.
Google Phone On Wheels You can count on Engadget to watch the FCC website like a hawk, and today they spotted a tasty little critter: a Bluetooth car dock for the HTC Nexus One. We can't blame you if you're a little tired of hearing about the Nexus One by now, but you might not have to hear that name much longer. The filings show "Google Phone" listed as the device's trade name, but does it really matter what they call it at this point? [Engadget]
Halfway To A New Horizon Wired didn't have the patience to wait until the thing actually got there, so now we know that the New Horizons space probe is officially halfway to Pluto. That's sort of like calling your wife to let her know you're halfway home. Still, zipping along at 50,000km/h, the probe is the fastest thing man's ever made, so it's making pretty good time. New Horizons is scheduled to pass by Pluto in July 2015. [Wired]
Spell Check Our friends at The Oatmeal sent this cute infographic of common spelling mistakes our way. Theirs alot more to it than just "loose" and "lose", so check it out weather you think your guilty or knot. Wait is that how you spell "knot"? I keep typing it and it looks really weird. Just kidding. We're flawless spellers and know all of our readers to be the same. [The Oatmeal]
Have A Blast This New Year's If you always felt like those little party poppers had about one ninth of the celebratory firepower you were looking for, well, today's your lucky day. This enterprising soul has taken the popping to the next level by constructing the Party Popper Claymore, a contraption that lets you fire off nine of the tiny plastic cannons - "PP"s, he abbreviates them - with one exhilarating yank. If you want to give the Party Popper Claymore a go yourself, follow the link for the Openscad files. But first ask yourself if spending an hour making your own PPC is really the best way to start a fresh year. [Make]

School of Social Work dean named American Council of Education fellow
Thursday, March 29, 2012
Media Contact: Herb Booth, Office: 817-272-7075, Cell: 214-546-1082, firstname.lastname@example.com
Scott Ryan, dean of The University of Texas at Arlington School of Social Work, was named an American Council on Education fellow this week, the ACE Fellows Program announced.
Ryan was nominated by President James D. Spaniolo for the program and joins 56 other fellows for the 2012-13 academic year.
"I am honored by President Spaniolo's nomination and for the invitation from the ACE Fellows Program," said Ryan, who is UT Arlington's Jenkins Garrett Professor in the School of Social Work. "I especially look forward to spending the next academic year working with the leadership at host universities to learn about issues President Spaniolo and I will identify this summer."
The ACE Fellows Program was established in 1965 and is designed to strengthen institutions and leadership in American higher education by identifying and preparing promising senior faculty and administrators for senior positions in college and university administration.
John Buckwalter, associate dean for research and graduate studies in UT Arlington's College of Education has been assigned to Texas Christian University this year as an ACE fellow.
Sharon A. McDade, Ed.D., director of the ACE Fellows Program, noted that most previous fellows have advanced into major positions in academic administration. Of the more than 1,700 participants in the first 47 years of the program, more than 300 have become chief executive officers and more than 1,100 have become provosts, vice presidents or deans.
"We're extremely pleased with the strength of the incoming class," McDade said. "The Fellows Program will sharpen and enhance their leadership skills and their network, and prepare them to address issues of concern to the higher education community."
ACE is the major coordinating body for the nation's colleges and universities, and advocates on higher-education issues in Washington and around the world.
The University of Texas at Arlington is a comprehensive research institution of nearly 34,000 students in the heart of North Texas. Visit www.uta.edu to learn more.
The University of Texas at Arlington is an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Rennie Ellis' tag.
There are some iconic Australian photographs which Aussies instantly recognise as "ours". There has long been a debate about whether photography can be considered art – such debate will go on in the future, no doubt. However, Max Dupain's Sunbather for example is to many, more a work of art than just a snapshot.
Rennie Ellis was the consummate "happy snapper"… his pictures captured moments in time without staging or artifice and they remain enduring images of the times. Many shots, like the one above entitled "Sharpies", were of ordinary people in ordinary places doing ordinary things.
Others captured iconic personages – like the fabulous shot of Bon Scott snapped back stage in Chicago trying really hard to look taller than the girl he was face to face with (almost!).
Looking at some of his celebrity work, he could have been accused of the same type of photojournalism we see these days carried out by the papparazzi…however, Ellis was known, liked and a part of the celebrity crowd he captured on film. There was no malice or ulterior motive in his recording of their lives or actions.
His was a complex and layered body of work that will reveal more as time passes and can be more critically assessed. Rennie Ellis captured the spirit of a people, its time, its place. His was Art.
This exhibiton is currently at the Ian Potter Gallery, NGV, Federation Square, Melbourne. It runs until February 22, 2009.

It's not B2B (it is B2C), but it IS Marcom - and it depicts a clearly successful individual. In other words, listen up and learn - maybe even become inspired. Then, apply it all to your B2B practice.
The background: a self-described "freelance marketing communications writer" (how blah sounding! But wait for it.) with tons of talent and empathy connects to the real estate sales market (how cliche and exaggerated!).
The results: passion, writing skills, and hard work seriously distinguish both the properties and the sales people - driving RESULTS and a ton of dedicated, loyal, return customers.
Marcom ladies and Marcom gentlemen, I present you Valerie Haboush and the very flattering New York Times article titled, "The Poet of Property" (cool!). Not so blah-sounding now!
After reading this you will certainly understand that all your teachers were right: words matter, grammar is critical, being able to write well is extremely valuable, persuasive writing is important, etc. Basically, Valerie has made a career out of paying heed to the advice of our collective 8th-grade English teachers' (with a ton of her own talent and diligence thrown in).
Congratulations, Valerie, on both the excellent article (I can't wait to learn what excitement and opportunities it creates) and the career.
Readers, after you review the article, stop back and share your thoughts.
