I almost forgot to do this today!!!!
130.9 on scale - feeling uber-thin the last 2 days...post-camping de-bloating is a good thing!!!LoL
Just tried on dress ( a true vision - with pulled down jeans and sneakers on underneath - what a look!) - no contorting once again to zipper it, went up slightly better than last time (lots of pleating makes for a tough zip - I don't care who you are! LoL)
As for walking with Leslie Sansone....um, not so much this week because we went camping on Wednesday (tried to at least - the rain was terrible that night). Previous blogs also shows a cathartic day of backboniness and a reduced level of stress. Glad to say that THAT level of stress is still low (nice huh?) and even though there are a ton of scouty things involving meetings of the future of certain people..I am happy to say I am maintaining my backbone and stress level nicely. I have ideas for the pack....whether or not they are implemented is up to a larger group...we shall see.
Anyway, back to Leslie....so not realy Leslie stuff going on - but camping yields constant moving and walking and bike riding! SO YAY!!!! As a family, we walked a mile & a half on a hike and we also BIKED over 2 and a half miles! THAT is a victory all OVER the place according to me! The kids were constantly on their bikes riding and since we were far from the bathrooms, there were numerous times to take walks back & forth when the bikes were not the mode of transportation to get there quickly.
Not only was I moving constantly...my family was too!!!!!!! Sweet huh?
As for eating....so help me.
Not a great eating weekend.
- Vegetables? What are they???
- Meat? Oh I got to eat enough of that to last a long while! Oh the gassiness that came about!!!! between my hubby & I...eeesh. the tears right there....use your imagination! Goes to show you what an overabundance of something will to do a person!
- Got Goodies? donuts, and bagels, and wine - oh my!!!! chips, and pie, and more - oh my!!
Yeah - it was one of those weekends.....hey - they happen.
Honestly, I can look back over YEARS now and see the same thing happen each year. Cyclical eating events show that they are just a drop in the bucket...the key to losing and keeping it off is getting right back on track when you get back to your normal reality...whatever that is! LOL
So I am back on track...water, exercise, freggies (oh how I missed them!).....at least for a few days until our next camping trip this weekend! LoL This weekend is tradition at this point - we have been going there for 4 years straight - on the beach, apple picking, pie baking on a camp oven, listening to the football game on the radio, riding bikes, walks....all good things that we are looking forward to as a family.
So Leslie - you might be visited only once or twice this week....sorry about that. But I am moving it in other ways! Have no fear of that!!! and I GOT OVER THE HUMP!!! I can honestly say that my activity is AOK to say that I have gotten over the 4 week hump!!! Yaaaay!!!
Now...time to get this day started!!!
I have about 2 minutes to type this...I have to go back to work...but I just got off of the phone and the last thing I said was "Imagine that, I have a backbone!" and then I started to get teary-eyed.
Even now I am a bit while writing this.
I have finally made a decision on where I stand with scouts...and I even verbalized it to the head of the pack...I WILL NOT take over as the leader of this organization. Period.
The last few weeks have been horrible when it comes to stress about this organization. The stupid misconstrued emails. the drama over organizing things and keeping people happy, the crazy blow-ups that the cubmaster has because she is who she is and she is a stressed hot mess herself. I understand where people come from - and I also understand that sometimes...things are just not worth it.
That being said, I drew my line in the freshly poured concrete and that is where it is staying.
- if the organization folds- even as early as Decemeber, then so be it.
- a volunteer organization is just that...and should NOT make people stressed out.
- if the organization folds, then guess what? people will get over it. Oh yes, they will. A couple of "Awww, how sads" and "Awww, too bads" will be muttered, but hmmm, I think that is about it.
-if someone happens to step up, then great, I might stick around to support them under MY terms.
I spoke up today. I am standing firm in my decision, because this is MY life. I have other things that take precedence over this...and you know what? they deserve more respect than what I have been giving them, as of late.
My soul rejoiced yesterday when I made this decision. I am so happy that it is made.
In the meantime, I will continue to be supportive, but also with the focus that OTHERS should step up and NOT JUST ME. If someone wants to do something for this organization, then guess what - well, just do it, because this woman is not crossing that line that she just drew....with a big giant smiley face right next to it!
Ahhh....I have been blogging a bit haven't I.
Anyway, this isn't about stress (which has decreased) or venting about a particular group (that I am setting up distinct boundaries with).....this is about me & Leslie and walking....and a silly dress that I try on every week!
So the weight today was 131.2 - not bad.
The dress I tried on after I exercised for an hour - a little bit of circulation puff going on for sure, but over all, as soon as I adjust the 'girls' in their pushup bra that I wore with the dress in the first place....the thing zipped up once again, maybe even easier than last week....less contorting for some reason.
Trying to figure out if there was any difference from last week. Hmmmm....maybe the back spilllage (which we all have) was lessened a bit? The arm pit area was definitely a bit better. so there ya go.
It was a rough week for exercising and walking - I will not lie. There was one day that I was just NOT in the mood to do ANYTHING. But on a good note, I still got 3 days in...which is very consistent for me - even when I am not trying to be consistent. Does that make sense?
I am happy about this week because I am now officially on the precipace of "blowing my usual streak of 3 weeks and then life getting in the way" - as per my lovely cyclical exerise past. So, as you can see, for me, THIS upcoming week is a big week to get though.
One thing Leslie has taught me is that it is just important to keep moving...and since I have taken up walking outside (yeah baby....I even did it again today! The confidence of being alone on the road is building!) I am really looking forward to going camping and boogying around the campsite with my headphones on for a half an hour a day at least! I did Leslie today as well....a new video that included toning - how exciting!!!!! LoL
So that is about it......this week is about keeping up the consistency. I would like to see my walks become a habit that I "need" instead of "want". Again, does that make sense? LoL
OK - I am off and running....lots to do today!
Be well everyone!!!
So the outcome of all my stress this week was that I made a final decision that canceled a camping trip for our cub scout pack that I was basically in charge of....I think God intervened with a hail-mary pass because inclement weather has made me decide to cancel it officially.
Lots of lessons learned on this one:
#1 - if you SAY there is a minimum needed to go...then MEAN it. If I had just stayed firm on that one point, I would have saved myself a TON of aggrevation and stress. BUT I did not say NO because I am too nice....and then it all went downhill from there. Needless to say, some rules for camping are now going to be set in stone if I am to be in charge of this section of the program.
#2 - Redundancy of trained leaders is needed...not wanted...NEEDED. Why? because with only me & my husband as trained leaders for an event such as this, there is a TON of unnecessary stress put onto our shoulders because if one of us cannot go on the campout - then the whole campout has to be canceled. I started praying that I didn't get the flu a week ago...that is ridiculous to even think, but I thought it. If there were 2 more trained parents in separate families, then this would not even be a concern....AND it would help out with other decisions as well.
#3 - If, for any reason, a family/scout does NOT get the requirements done in time and the opportunity is/has been offered....it is THEIR responsibility - not mine - to fulfill them or figure out how to fulfill them.
#4 - If parents cannot get it in their heads after X amount of YEARS in this group that email is the most effective communication device that is used by its VOLUNTEER leaders to use...and if they do not check it regularly and MISS deadline because of it....IT IS NOT MY PROBLEM! Grow up people...use your computer, buy a new computer for $400 if you have to - it's an investment for chrissakes, use your crackberry ad nauseum...I do not care....but if I say 'reply' in an email, I mean it. If I say that this deadline is firm - I mean it. I will NOT hunt you down for anything....EVER. End . of. story.
Those were the major lessons learned from this experience...this might end up in an email to the pack, I do not know. I do know for sure that these points will be brought up in the next committee meeting....and written down on paper for the group to see. A post-camping review of the whole experience so to speak....hey, BSA wants that kind of thing done anyway...from now on, I am going by that book.
So that being said, and vented, i am happy to say that I am sitting here in my workout clothes and am going to go on the treadmill for a leisurely stoll today while listening to some new tunes I downloaded yesterday.
Next week is my own family's camping trip in our popup that has been sitting for months unused and lonely...in fact we are going with some friends we made while in scouts - they just bought their own camper! With all the stress of this new school year starting and this whole snafu I descibed above, a change of scenery will be very welcome! Now THIS is a campout I cannot wait to go on!!!!
everyone's got them
They tend to come about during the most inopportune times too: when you are overtired, overstressed, overworked.......just done over like a big hot mess!
I'm not just talking about me in particular this time around....I've noticed hubby working like a dog and his old habit of snacking late at night while working come back a few times, here and there, on occassion. First, I noticed the cake box gone from the top of the fridge....he "confessed" that he had a bad night, and I just told him I noticed...and he immediately knew that he had to reign in the demon before it got out of control. Now add last night's Monday Night Football guys gathering with the cheese dip, wings and donuts....and the poor guy never stood a chance to get back in the saddle like he wanted to! He will though....all it takes is a few days of calm and he is right back into the swingof things - - well, that is what MY plan for him is....and because we share a brain, I know that it is his plan too.
My personal demons have reared their ugly head as well...except instead of eating - I am yelling and just a big ol' beeeotch to everyone I love (I don't think PMS helped the situation either - this month was a bad month in that respect). Me & hubby, who rarely argue or fight, had a great yell-fest that wound up being a good stress reliever for both of us....funny how that happened. But still....who likes yelling???? I sure as heck don't want to be like this all the time, so a conscious effort is being put forth on my part to make a decision and live by those decisions - whether or not people like them or not.....if they do not like them, well, then they can step up to the plate themselves and take on the role that I had chosen to take on. Note the word "chosen".....I did not say "thrust upon" even though it really is the way it is...when noone steps up, I fill in like a good little girl so that everyone is happy. Ha - you might be wondering what it is I am venting about.....what do you think? my one volunteer organization: Cub Scouts, of course! Making a conscious effort to just make a decision and live with any 'haters' that come with it is somewhat liberating. If they don't like it - then they can take over the next campout.
Anyway....those are the gremlins that are bouncing around our house lately.....I wish they would just leave. The good news is that I can see a light at the end of the tunnel - either Thursday...or Sunday morning....one is the rain-decision to go camping on Thurs...the other is the day we come home on Sun if we DO go camping in a slight drizzle.
This too shall pass.....in the meantime, I am going to do my best to make the best of an annoying situation.
Now - onward and upward....going to get my walk in and then tackle the next thing on my list: to make a list of camping stuff!! What's the saying? "A boy scout is always prepared!"

13 Classic Vehicles Reimagined As Transformers
Canada-based artist Darren Rawlings, known as Rawlsy on DeviantArt, has reimagined classic vehicles as Transformers in his series "If They Could Transform." The group consists of famous 70s cars like the Gran Torino and Pacer along with iconic fictional vehicles like the Ninja Turtle's van and Knight Rider's KITT. Hopefully a Decepticon KARR will be added to the mix at some point. That would be a pretty awesome episode of Knight Rider. Anyway, check out more of Rawlsy's work at DeviantArt.

Fun & Fit: Making Losing Weight Fun
Seriously, I made it a point to make my weight loss program fun since it's more fun and fit to lose weight this way for me. The good news is – it works!
Joining the Group
The first thing that really helped me get on the right track of my fun weight loss program is when I joined a group with that specific goal in mind. The regulars of the group are five on a good session day. We have a great trainer who just made it a point that losing fat must be fun, must not require those strict and strenuous workouts and must be able to expand my horizons, so to speak. Meaning, I get to meet new people which are basically on the same boat like me. And, guess what, with all our collective weight, the boat isn't sinking at all!
More Fun with a Friend
Of course, I met my new best friend when I joined the group and we started to plan our programs together. What's really fun is we made surprise visits to each other's home, making sure to check out the fridge for any food that's not supposed to be there. And, really, I have not only found a best friend with whom I can do my weight loss program, I also found the perfect "partner in crime" with whom I can share my "food sins" with.
Time Flies when I'm having Fun
Not only does time fly when I'm having fun, unwanted fat burns, no-no foods get dumped and friends multiply, too! So aside from the fun and fit group I joined, I and my best friend decided to put up our fun and fit group for losing weight. And guess what? For the first day, we're full!
Found & Lost: Finding The Motivation To Lose Weight
First thing's first. From my experience (and I know this for a fact), weight is not permanent. I mean, the particular number I had when I weighed in this morning before breakfast wouldn't really be the same one when I get home from work this evening. Depending on what happened in between those two time terminals, I either lost or gained a few ounces.
The fact that my weight is something that constantly fluctuates and has to be maintained made me realize the importance of keeping myself motivated or to find motivation to lose weight, especially during tempting times. So for the past week, I put myself on a mission to gather and list down some tips on how I can push myself to lose weight by hook or by crook.
Every Time is the Right Time for Losing Weight
The more I researched about weight loss tips and programs online, and the more I read health and fitness books, I found one common thread – the right time to start losing weight all depends on the person concerned. With this discovery, I found myself very much correct in considering motivation as the fuel which should pump-prime or jump-start any weight loss diet and program.
The All-important Question: Want or Need?
The capacity to answer the question whether I badly needed or just wanted to lose weight for its own sake dawned on me when I first started to do my research online. The various blog sites on weight loss absolutely inundated me and I somehow found myself deluged with so many information I didn't really know where to start.
That's when I realized that I cannot do this weight loss thing without asking myself why I'm doing it. This means part of the motivation process I have for myself to lose unwanted fat is by setting my priorities right also.
The Plan is the Partner
Some of the weight loss programs I searched require from me to have a partner – a friend, a co-worker or a loved one – who will be my constant guide and devil's advocate in keeping myself motivated to lose weight. This is, of course, a great idea. But my partner wouldn't be there for me all the time. What I've surmised, however, is that eventually the constant partner I can have for my weight loss program is the plan itself.
This is why I found myself listing down the things I need to do and the diet that will ideally fit me and my lifestyle. I discovered that preparing myself, my mind set, my weight loss diet and other related things are exactly the same things I do when I prepare a meal – methodical, carefully, keeping everything in check. Planning definitely works for me as part of my motivation process.
Don't be a Try-hard
I recently read a blog which opened my eyes when it comes to losing weight. It clearly said that if you feel you're trying hard to maintain your weight loss program or diet, then something must be wrong because losing weight is a long-term thing. I felt myself nodding in agreement when I realized that my weight loss program is just what it is – a program! Somehow, I now understand that in order to make this work and keep myself motivated, I have to be flexible about the whole idea.
As I remembered my dad saying to me, "You don't need a full tank to drive your car. You'll just need enough gas to get you from point A to point B". And my father's absolutely correct, because my weight loss program is supposed to be about me and my own body's capacity, I don't need to try hard to lose weight, I just have to learn and understand my own off and on days, peak and down hours for my program.
Other Motivational Tips to Lose Weight
I found that setting small goals for myself and keeping myself focus on them keeps the fire of my motivation burning (and my unwanted fat burning away, too). Also, a healthy breakfast and good exercise are important parts of losing weight and of my daily motivation, too.
Achieving The Balance Between Losing Weight And Staying Healthy
Time and again, I face the mirror to talk to myself, "Okay, now you lost weight! Great! But are you feeling great, too?"
I know that achieving the delicate balance between maintaining a weight loss diet or program and staying fit and healthy is one of the greatest mysteries in life I have to solve for myself. Fortunately for me, I have listed down some of the tips I've learned and used which kept my weight as well as my fitness in perfect harmony.
I always kept an updated record of my weight gains and losses. This veritably helps me know if I'm still on manageable track or I've steered completely off-course and need a drastic turn-around. Suffice to say that such information comes in handy for my own weight loss plans and keeps me conscious of my own state of health too.
Small Baby Steps First
Setting goals which will build on bigger goals later on helps me stay focused and concentrated on my program. This also keeps my motivation since the goal I've set for myself is more simple and easy to follow rather than taking those unrealistic time-bound programs. Even by the hour, by the day or by the week, I've set myself goals which are attainable. This keeps me sensitive to any change or fluctuation in my physical health.
The Network Works
Keeping my friends and loved ones supportive with what I'm doing is very important for my weight loss program. Besides, they are the first one to notice if I'm physically down with my energy or being mentally bogged down. The help I get from the people around is enormous and makes me maintain a weight loss diet that's practical and that's supposed to make me more loving and adorable to my friends and loved ones.
Get Creative
I found that the best way to make my weight loss diet work and still stay healthy is to just try out what works and what doesn't work for me. The experiences I get are so much valuable for my own learning curve and it helps me make a holistic approach to my program. After all, without understanding first-hand what I read online or in a fitness book, I cannot discover what will be the optimal way for me to lose weight and still improve my own health and fitness.
The Importance of Breakfast
The importance of breakfast as the central weight loss diet meal as well as the core of my nutrition program cannot be understated. As I've mentioned time and again with many people, especially my friends, co-employees and loved ones, breakfast makes me start the day right because it prepares my body and my mind for the daily unpredictables which can either make or break both my weight loss plan or my health altogether.
Sleep and Weight Loss
I've found out for myself that sleep and weight loss is directly related since during those times I did not get my usual hours of sleep, I gained weight drastically. From then on, I've always told myself that sleep is just as important as the food my body takes in each and every day.

The Bull Run has been a Tavern for centuries and their philosophy is simple: use only the freshest ingredients from area small farms and providers; treat the staff and the talent like gold; support the local events and institutions that truly create community; and bring world-class entertainment to Central Massachusetts.
Tonight's guest is writer and editor JOY M. KISER. When she was an Assistant Librarian at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, Ms Kiser saw on display a truly beautiful book from the late nineteenth Century illustrating birds nests. Created by one Genevieve Estelle Jones it was titled Illustrations of the Nests and Eggs of Birds of Ohio. Kiser discovered that this was virtually a lost book. Although the lithographs rivaled those of Audubon, few people knew of the books existence. As Kiser researched the history of the book and of the Jones family, she uncovered an incredible story of determination, passion, tragedy and family love. Tune in tonight for a remarkable story of unique woman of the late 1800s and her formerly lost book that has now been published so we can all enjoy Jones's work. Kiser's book which includes full color reproductions of all of the plates of Illustrations of the Nests and Eggs of Ohio is titled AMERICA'S OTHER AUDUBON.

We traveled to Savannah, GA for Christine and Don's wedding last month. It may have been *the* most humid day Savannah has seen, but besides from
swimming walking in wet air, this wedding was absolutely sensational. Savannah is just so gorgeous in every little way, the art college vibe, the architecture, vegetation, its epic Spanish moss trees; so many little things contribute to how fantastic this town is. The bride's custom-made macrame wedding gown was breathtaking, its back and train cascading in lace. The couple got ready at the historical Whitman House, adjacent to the famous Forsyth Park where we of course had to take a few captures of all the ladies. Thank you Christine and Don for choosing Simply Bloom to capture your wedding day from our point of view!

Our Cloud Archiving and Compliance best practices will define a maturity model for this hugely important segment within the industry.
It will also produce a best practices white paper, tailored to meet the needs of the NIST Business Use Case that defines the specific requirements for this functionality, the FAA E-Discovery scenario (11-page PDF).
It will also describe a response to the general best practices defined in the recent CIO.gov document: Best practices for ITaaS, which also describes eDiscovery requirements. Download the 44-page PDF here.
Cloud Archiving Managed Services
This is such a hugely important area for Cloud Providers to develop new services because of the double impact it represents.
First there is the simple facet of the business opportunity. Clients like governments and the finance industry have extensive requirements for archiving and e-discovery.
Secondly and the accelerating factor is that the biggest hold up to Cloud adoption is the lack of maturity in this area. Typically the fears all centre on issues like data residency, where is the data hosted, and what protections are in place to ensure this data is not tampered with and so on.
These are requirements that archiving solutions deal with straight off the bat.
The Gartner Magic Quadrant places vendors like HP (Autonomy), IBM and Symantec as the leaders in this space, but this is a focus on the overall broad category of enterprise archiving, meaning it includes traditional on-site systems too.
Where the real challenge and opportunity is presented is how these types of capabilities can be absorbed into Cloud hosting environments, challenges that are well described in this white paper from another of the vendors Proofpoint: Cloud Computing and eDiscovery.
They describe critical points like:
Cloud computing makes IT operations fast and nimble, but it doesn't necessarily make ESI easier to discover or legal holds easier to enforce. On the contrary, cloud computing can make legal holds and ESI searches more complex, time-consuming, and difficult. The vast majority of cloud providers would be unable to satisfy the stringent security, privacy, and data access requirements of corporate counsel and other stakeholders responsible for managing legal risk exposure.
They are exactly right on this, which is a blunt explanation of why Cloud adoption is still very low despite the huge hype. There`s your answer.
Also Proofpoint describe the solution, and the associated opportunity for Cloud Providers:
Enterprise IT departments need guidance for deploying eDiscovery applications and for crafting Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with cloud service providers, so that new cloud computing initiatives don't undermine the enterprise's investments in eDiscovery.
If Cloud Providers do this they will not only open up a specific product segment, Cloud Archiving, but they will also alleviate Cloud adoption fears in general and open the floodgates for broader adoption of all Cloud apps.
This is why, in my opinion, Cloud Archiving is the single most important product area for Cloud Providers to invest in.
Cloud Archiving – Service specifications
For a taste of these market opportunities we can review a number of related industry initiatives.
Managing Government Records - President Obama recently declared the 'Managing Government Records' initiative , to better use Cloud technologies to perform Information Management and achieve Open Government. Canada also recently announced a similar initiative, to build a 'GC Docs' portal that publishes all of their records.
The NIST Business Use Case details the required service specifications, begun with this high level introduction and overview:
"The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is examining how to implement cloud-based e-discovery and Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) processes for email. The system must be able to perform discovery in both its in-house email implementation (Lotus Notes) but also in cloud-based email systems. The system will also be used to manage content for compliance purposes, and will serve as an archive of FAA messaging content.
The long-run goal is to support four primary functions: e-discovery, electronic records management, FOIA, and privacy. These four processes have similar needs and capabilities, including searching business applications, document repositories, email (including calendar, contacts, tasks, etc.) and instant messages, and distributed storage (both internal and external) for electronically stored information (ESI) meeting defined criteria.
The focus of this business use case is the processes and systems required to respond to e-discovery and FOIA requests as they pertain to email message data and other supporting data such as calendar entries, tasks, attachments, etc. that are produced and processed by the FAA's traditional and cloud email messaging systems."
Our Cloud Archiving best practices program will detail how Cloud Providers can develop products in this area to meet these requirements and opportunities.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data. By focusing on enterprise applications and the data center, he will use OpenTSDB as an example t...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies.

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

It's hard to believe that home theater could actually be more fun. However, the advent of smartphones and apps has really changed the way that we control and even view home theater content.
If you've got an A/V product and a smartphone, you may want to do a little app search. Today, almost every manufacturer has an app. However, it's not limited to just hardware. DISH, DirecTV, TiVo, Verizon, Netflix, Slingbox, and a slew of other service and software providers also have apps. While some are pretty obvious, there are plenty that are not—but can still provide a lot of fun and functionality.
Buying an app is typically less than a handful of clicks, and many are inexpensive (and sometimes free!). It's finding them that can be a painful process. Currently, iTunes has home theater under the ginormous catchall known as Entertainment. That means that remote control apps are often in the same area where you'd find Chuck Norris Facts.
So we went to work, combing through the various available apps and found eight fun (and not-so-obvious) home theater apps.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

For everyone who has been waiting patiently for A Tribe Called Quest frontman Q-Tip's follow-up to his solo debut, Amplified, the wait is almost over. On November 4, fans will finally get their hands on a copy of The Renaissance (presumably, on their way to vote in the U.S. presidential election). On the album's first single, Gettin' Up, 'Tip showed longtime fans that he is still in Vivrant Thing mode over the late J. Dilla's sample of Black Ivory's You And I. For the official remix, the original verses remain, though Swizz Beatz takes charge with a sample of the Puff Daddy classic It's All About the Benjamins, and another emcee we haven't heard from in a while spits twelve introductory bars. That's right; Eve is back and ready to rep for the ladies once again!

The House has pushed through a massive economic stimulus package.
The approval is a big victory for President Barack Obama.
The vote for the $819 billion program was 244-188. No Republican voted for the package despite direct appeals for bipartisanship by the president. They insist on more tax cuts and less spending.
After the vote, President Obama issued a statement saying the plan will save or create more than three million jobs over the next few years. He also welcomed congressional leaders of both parties to the White House for drinks and more lobbying.
The vote sent the bill to the Senate. Debate could begin there as soon as Monday on companion legislation.
Democrats have promised to have recovery legislation ready for the president's signature by mid-February.

Will you have to pay VAT on your flat? SC ruling to push up property prices
October 14, 2013
By: Abhishek Jain According to a recent verdict by the Supreme Court, the sale of a property that is under construction would be liable to value-added tax (VAT). The ruling could have far-reaching ramifications for the real estate industry as well as property buyers. In the case of L&T versus State of Karnataka, the apex court held that the pre-construction agreements for sale of immovable property would qualify as 'works contract' and, therefore, VAT...

During the hearing, the amicus curiae pressed for immediate cancellation of Rampal's bail, saying the "credibility of the entire judicial system" would be "at stake" if his bail was not cancelled.

Reasoned judgement
November 5, 2002
The Supreme Court has ruled that educational institutions run by minority communities cannot be free of government regulation, particularly in cases where they are the recipients of government aid. This is a welcome judgement. It should not be construed as an attack on minority rights. The judgement does not negate the fundamental idea behind treating minority institutions as a separate category, which is that such institutions can provide positive discrimination in favour of disadvantaged groups.

Ayodhya: Judgement ignores vandalism
October 1, 2010
No issue has troubled independent India as much as the Ayodhya dispute. It culminated in the destruction of the mosque on December 6, 1992, followed by widespread violence all over the country. It almost single-handedly catapulted a political party to power in the late 1990s and in the process polarised the nation along communal lines. For the sake of governance, the protagonists of Ayodhya shelved the issue and urged its constituents to wait for the court verdict.

Singapore Exchange, one of Asia's leading stock markets, has begun considering the feasibility of an equity crowdfunding platform for early-stage companies, and has formed a team focused on small and medium-sized enterprises.
After the announcement that the tax free individual savings account (ISAs) will be extended to include peer- to-peer loans, the UK's government launched a public consultation on the possibility to set up a separate ISA for people who want to lend out money through P2P portals.
Texas Allows Crowdinvesting
After Michigan, New Mexico and eleven other States, Texas joins the Intrastate Crowdfunding Movement, becoming the largest US state adopting a set of rules for equity crowdfunding (California's law for intrastate crowdfunding got stuck in the State's senate).
Last Wednesday, the Texas State Securities Board approved a law that allows adults resident in Texas to buy shares of private companies through crowdfunding portals. Like in all the other States which joined the Intrastate Crowdfunding Movement, also in Texas the law limits the possibility to use crowdfunding to raise equity capital only to companies incorporated in the State.
Today Crowd Valley publishes Crowdfunding Market Report for Q3 2014, unveiling the latest trends of this fast-growing industry, as observed by the company during the last quarter.
Since the start of 2014, the international crowdfunding market kept developing fast, with new actors moving the first steps into the arena and many policymakers inserting the topic in their agendas.
P2P Lending in the Far East
After the US and Europe, crowdinvesting is slowly developing in Asia as well. Most of the activity is concentrated around equity crowdfunding, with Malaysia's new crowdfunding regulations and Japan's crowdfunding bill, allowing companies to raise equity capital through crowdfunding portals. However, little is known about peer-to-peer lending in the area, which in Western countries is instead showing great potential.

HOUSTON (AP) - Houston Mayor Annise Parker says her swearing-in
as the first openly gay head of the nation's fourth-largest city marks a milestone for the gay community but that it's just "one step toward a tomorrow of greater justice."
Parker was sworn in over the weekend in a private ceremony and repeated her oath during a public ceremony Monday. Her partner, Kathy Hubbard, held the Bible during the swearing-in.
The 53-year-old Parker told the more than 1,000 people at Monday's ceremony that she can feel the "excitement" and "joy" of the city's gay community, as well as their "longing for acceptance."
Parker received almost 54 percent of the vote in a December runoff against former city attorney Gene Locke. She succeeds Democrat Bill White, who reached his term limit.

While many of these battered companies are being forced to raise capital, Berkshire enviably holds $39 billion in cash. Some of the recent strength in Berkshire reflects Wall Street's expectation that Buffett, its CEO and controlling shareholder, will put some of that in an attractive investment in a financial company. Buffett might even buy his long-sought "elephant" -- a $10 billion-plus acquisition -- on the cheap.
THE STREET'S ENTHUSIASM for Omaha-based Berkshire, however, might be excessive. Its stock now appears overpriced, reflecting a sizable premium for the skills of the 77-year-old Buffett. What's Berkshire worth? Our estimate, based on several valuation measures, is around $130,000 a share -- about 10% below the current quote.
Credit Suisse's Charles Gates, one of the few Street analysts covering Berkshire, values it even more conservatively. He carries a 12-month price target of $125,000 and rates the stock Neutral. "We consider the stock fully priced," he wrote in a client note last month. Gates cited the ages of Buffett and his long-time Berkshire partner, Charlie Munger, who turns 84 on Jan. 1. Gates also noted the "lack of clear management succession" at the company. Edward Jones analyst Tom Kersting recently cut his Berkshire rating to Hold from Buy, citing valuation.
Buffet didn't build the Berkshire powerhouse by paying more than acquisition targets were worth.

Barron's has been bullish on Berkshire in recent years when investors were paying little or no premium for Buffett's skills. We wrote a cover story ("Warren Buffett's Still-Golden Touch") in August 2003 when the stock traded at half its current price, and we've handicapped the prospects for Buffett's successor as CEO. Our bet is that Berkshire's board eventually will tap David Sokol, 51, an Omaha native who runs Berkshire's most valuable non-insurance business, Mid-American Energy. The choice hasn't been made public.
Buffett's talents as an investor are unmatched, but good things sometimes can cost too much. Given Berkshire's high value relative to its book value and earnings, the stock could be dead money for at least a year -- and it might even decline, as it did last week.
DESPITE BERKSHIRE'S PHENOMENAL long-term performance, there have been periods when the stock wasn't a great investment. In 1998, Berkshire topped $80,000 a share in the wake of the company's deal to buy reinsurer General Re for $22 billion. It traded below that level as recently as 2005. Berkshire has risen an amazing 7,000-fold since Buffett took control of the company in 1965. Buffett refuses to split the Class A shares. Berkshire's Class B shares, issued in 1996, fetch $4,760 a share. They're equivalent to 1/30th of an A share. The company pays no dividend and doesn't repurchase stock.
Barron's couldn't reach Buffett, but he told Fox Business correspondent Liz Claman last week that "the key to Berkshire's future is deploying the capital that comes in." Buffett has a big job because Berkshire earns around $10 billion annually. Asked what he has been buying, Buffett said: "You're irresistible, but I'll resist."
Says one Berkshire investor: "Buffett presumably has more irons in the fire than simply raising money for Hillary Clinton." Buffett was in San Francisco last week for a fund-raiser for the presidential candidate.
Wall Street is waiting for Buffett's next investment move. This year, Buffett hasn't made a significant deal. Instead, he has been pouring money into the stock market, adding $11 billion to Berkshire's equity portfolio. There have been rumors that Berkshire considered investing in capital-hungry Countrywide Financial (CFC), MBIA mbi -0.9578544061302682% MBIA Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD10.34 -0.1 -0.9578544061302682% /Date(1416607510383-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1400865 AFTER HOURS USD10.34 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio 2.9291784702549575 Market Cap 1997657073.85208 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 1003610 More quote details and news » (MBI) and Bear Stearns (BSC), but nothing happened. Buffett is showing his customary patience, perhaps awaiting what he calls a "fat pitch" -- just as a power hitter might before blasting one out of the park.
It might be tough, however, for Buffett to land an elephant. Despite his easy-going demeanor, he's a tough negotiator who shuns corporate auctions. This makes it difficult for public companies to sell to him because corporate boards are obliged to get the best price for shareholders. Buffett's acquisitions in recent years have been skewed toward private companies. In its giant $77 billion equity portfolio, Berkshire already has significant exposure to financials through its ownership of an $8 billion stake in American Express and a similarly sized stake in Wells Fargo.

Berkshire Hathaway looks overpriced, even after factoring in the legendary talents of its CEO, Warren Buffett. Andrew Bary reports. (Dec. 17)
Berkshire isn't easy to analyze because of its complexity and because Buffett communicates little with investors save for his appearance at Berkshire's annual meeting in May. Berkshire's quarterly 10-Q reports provide no detail on many of its non-insurance units. There's scant coverage of Berkshire on Wall Street because analysts typically want access to management.
While Berkshire is often viewed as Buffett's investment vehicle, it has evolved in the past decade into a conglomerate with over a dozen sizable operating units. Insurance remains central at Berkshire. Its best division is fast-growing Geico, now the nation's third-largest auto insurer. Reinsurer General Re, however, has been disappointing. Berkshire also operates a lucrative specialty insurer run by the talented Ajit Jain. It provides big-ticket policies for catastrophes, such as earthquakes and hurricanes.
The largest non-insurance unit is Mid- American Energy, which owns electric utilities in Iowa, the Pacific Northwest and Britain. Berkshire also controls Shaw Industries (carpeting), Benjamin Moore (paints), International Dairy Queen, NetJets (private jets) and See's Candies, and it paid $4 billion last year for an 80% stake in Iscar, an Israeli maker of metal-cutting tools.
GAUGING BERKSHIRE'S INTRINSIC VALUE -- the discounted value of the cash flow from its businesses -- is difficult. Buffett refuses to divulge his estimate of that value and rarely comments on the stock price. The last time he said anything notable was in July 2006, when he decided to give away about 85% of his Berkshire stake, then valued at $44 billion, to a group of charities, mainly the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. With the stock then around $90,000, Buffett wrote that Berkshire was "an ideal asset" to underpin a foundation and that over time, the increase in its share price "may be substantial." Buffett's current 28% stake is worth $60 billion.

Cleantech venture capital investment dives 33 percent
Send this to a friend
- Staff Portland Business Journal
We knew it was bad. But this is pretty bad.
Global venture capital investment in cleantech plunged 33 percent in 2012 to $6.46 billion, according to new data released by the Cleantech Group.
"Weak IPO exits, political uncertainty, global macroeconomic stagnation, and fierce competition all played a role in dampening investor enthusiasm for the space in 2012," said Sheeraz Haji, CEO of Cleantech Group and GreenOrder, in a release.
Of the total, 46 percent of all cleantech investment or $2.3 billion landed in California, the highest percentage of any state. The biofuels and biochemicals industry accounted for the largest percentage of investment by any sector, raking in 952 million in 53 deals.

1969 Dodge Charger
"I used to own one, it was lime green. The Dukes of Hazzard car, of course, but it's a strangely beautiful thing. Again, like America, if you ignore its size, it's has some fabulously subtle design details. Some of the lines are breathtaking. I sold mine, though, because it couldn't fit in most towns in Britain."
