Women of Google+ : Marissa Bauer
As we come across amazing women in Google+, we wanted to highlight some of them and give you the opportunity to find out how fabulous they are for yourself.
Featured G+'er : Marissa Bauer
How did you originally get invited to Google+?
I was invited to Google+ buy a gaming friend of mine. I've been in the world of on line gaming for about 9+ years and have been gaming w/this friend for about the past 7 of those years. As soon as I found out someone I knew was in Google+ beta I needed in! He was kind enough to help me.
What benefits are you seeing from being in Google+?
Being able to use Google+ has been great. It has replaced my other social medias completely and I have everything I want in one. I use Google for Gmail, documents, calendar, and now to connect with people. I also like that the people of Google have gotten so many things right. There is a chat system that works smoothly, you don't have a ridiculously small character limit on posts you want to make, and the privacy options are wonderful. I can share things with friends and family that I may not want to share with co-workers. And if that isn't enough to sell you on Google+, let me add Hangouts to the list! 10 people video chat. I could go on about Google+ with all of its wonderful features and it's still only in beta! That right there is a sign of a game changer when it comes to social medias.
How does Google+ fit into your life or career?
Google+ is a great place to network with new, amazing people. I find that it's unlike Twitter and Facebook. People here actually have intellectual conversations. Its refreshing. Yes you still have silly pictures and videos being posted (I'm guilty of this) but even those strike up a discussion. It's not just a wall full of mindless game invites or tweets about shopping at a mall. People post and start meaningful conversations. It's been a while since I've seen that happen. Like I said, its refreshing.
A particularly interesting story or thoughts you may want to add regarding Google+
I love following people on Google+! I have met so many wonderful people

How did you originally get invited to Google+?
Invited through EmpireAvenue – Lynda Giddens (thank you Lynda!!!)
What benefits are you seeing from being in Google+?
After being on G+ daily over the past two weeks what impresses me most is the amazing, helpful and brilliant people that are posting every day. Not only that, but the knowledge exchange is done pretty much without expectations from the sharer – and that is refreshing.
It feels to me as if with G+ the social networking phenom has come full circle (pun most definitely intended) and its like the early days of internet social activity like IRC and the very early chat sites.
How does Google+ fit into your life or career?
We need to be connected and engaged in today's world. We all have such crowded lives and its hard to take out time out for communications. Even with my husband we often communicate throughout the day via text, email or G+ posts.
Again, the Circles are terrific in allowing me to separate those I want to interact with professionally (Project Managers), those whose opinions Iam interested in, my friends and family, and my fellow LA Kings fans.
I have recently launched my own Company and it remains to be seen how I will actually use G+ for business ( I hope to get into the field trial!)
A particularly interesting story or thoughts you may want to add regarding Google+
I never really thought of myself as an avid social networker – in fact on Facebook my friends are actual friends and family that I interact with both online and offline. In G+ I found so many interesting people so I ended up following and adding to my Circles like crazy – I am loving the information flow so far.

Things about me, randomly categorized and in no particular order:
- I am passionate about all things Project Management.
- I have recently written and developed a software tool for project managers and am currently in the insane process of switching hats from coding too many hours a day in a small cave to emerging into the bright glaring lights of launching and marketing – and getting the word out to people about my amazing product – you know how it goes.
- I consult for small business on Project preparation and business analysis.
- I began my career as an Accountant which was a very respectable choice, but I kept getting distracted by all things shiny and techy and morphed into doing that more, focusing on process improvements, ERP and Finance software implementations ñ and from that discovered that Project Management was way more fun than doing budgets and variance analysis.
- I blog, infrequently and badly on random Project Management related thoughts. My hope is that like bike riding, it will improve with practice.
- I like hockey and beer. Often together, but that is not essential. The LA Kings are the best team in the NHL in my expert opinion I go to a LOT of games during the season, and as a consequence drink a lot of beer during the season!
- I am a geek. Really. Not in a trendy, hip way. I still recall bits of BASIC which I used to write my first ever (totally lame card game now that I think of it) program on a computer whose name I do not recall but it was basically a cassette tape recorder dealio that plugged into a televisionÖomg now I feel old. I also watched Dr Who ñ the original, first time around. I own a soldering iron and my own set of tools which are a pretty pink. Yep, geek.
- I love science, science fiction, fantasy fiction and reading. Due to space considerations I did move from paper to a nook, much easier and no more emergency dashes to Ikea for shelves.
- I still play video games. Guildwars and Rockband mostly. In consideration to my neighbors, I do close the windows when I sing, its only polite I think.
- I have bungy jumped.
- I try to play bass and guitar – both left handed while my hubby patiently drums (he is the real musician in the family) – sometimes this annoys one neighbor, I think they don't like music.
- I know bits and pieces of various languages – French, Italian, HTML, PHP, C+ – all the popular ones, but no Mac. I need to learn some Mac. When I have time.
- I cook and like it, which is not really PC for a girl to admit to these days ñ weird. I love entertaining and a great night is having people over for good food, good wine and great conversation.
- I can also sew, knit and crochet although I donít have time much for that kind of thing.
- I am Australian from Melbourne, but now live in Los Angeles, CA. I have been here for 12 years. My mum says I am losing my accent now, my American friends think my accent is cute ñ I donít know who is right.
- I always say please and thank you. Always.

How did you originally get invited to Google+?
I have many friends in the social media industry, so I received an invite very quickly.
What benefits are you seeing from being in Google+?
In a lot of ways, the Google+ platform makes it easier to behave and interact in a truly social manner. Some of the mechanisms and design philosophies of Facebook are actually quite limiting to social interaction, and Google+ seems to be addressing those issues in a more efficient way, based on what I can deduce from these first experiences. The manner in which information is disseminated across the Google+ network also makes it easier to get your message out there – even though some issues (e.g. related to being "fed" many redundant posts) are still in need of improvements.
How does Google+ fit into your life or career?
I'm the executive director of a major translation agency (Language Swappers) as well as the CEO of a game production company (Holodreams). I estimate that Google+ will be very useful in both of these roles. While I obviously still need some more time to know exactly how it will all come together, I'm confident that the innovative circle system of Google+ will be extremely helpful when it comes to organizing all my contacts. Several thousands of people on Google+ have already put me in their circles, and I'm following a few thousand myself, so having an efficient (as well as confidential) way to sort all these individuals is extremely useful.
A particularly interesting story or thoughts you may want to add regarding Google+
Obviously, my experiences so far are limited to this initial trial period, so that may reflect my perception. However, I have to say that in the short time I've used Google+ I've already come into contact with a huge number of useful connections, particularly in the social media industry. It's not very surprising that this would be the most common profession on Google+ at the moment, but nonetheless, these few weeks have proven very valuable to me in terms of networking. As to why more women don't use Google+, I'm sure there are a number of factors at play here that one can point to as the cause, but in either event, I hope that balance changes soon!
Where can I find more information about this fabulous woman?
I'm an entrepreneur and producer in the Texas area. I work as the executive director of Language Swappers translation agency, while simultaneously acting as the CEO and main game designer for Holodreams game company.
I'm originally a lawyer, as well as a PhD researcher in Law and Linguistics. In addition, I have a background as a classical concert pianist, and also dabble quite a bit in programming. A pretty diverse background, but one that has been very helpful to me when it comes to interdisciplinary initiatives and honing an ability to find synergistic benefits across various fields and projects.
Today, I could probably best describe myself as an entrepreneur and a producer. I work as the executive director of a major translation company by the name of Language Swappers, while simultaneously acting as the CEO and main game designer for a game company called Holodreams.
In addition, I've recently embarked on a groundbreaking new venture involving a media production company by the name of Unireach Media. I co-founded this company with a good friend of mine, actor/musician/producer Ben Bledsoe. As we both have extensive and diverse experience in the field of media production, we've managed to put together a team of extremely qualified individuals who were all very eager to join us on this venture. We have a studio in Hollywood, where we work with some of the best actors in the industry, and our sound engineers have been awarded multiple gold records. This coupled with our expertise in the field of translation and localization means that we can offer perfectly packaged solutions to any media-related needs – such as voice-overs, dubs, music and video production, subtitling, copywriting, as well as logo, font and web design. Thus the name "Unireach Media", which refers to our aim of unifying a multitude of media solutions, in order to act as a "one-stop shop" for the media production needs of businesses both large and small, both national and international. We've already received considerable attention from companies eager to join our growing list of clients, and we're also working on a line of services targeted towards individuals. Considering the relative scarcity of female producers in the media world, particularly from a global perspective, I'm especially thrilled to be participating in this kind of enterprise. It's all very exciting.read more

How did you originally get invited to Google+?
I was invited by a Googler I know in the original invite cycle.
What benefits are you seeing from being in Google+?
Google+ is a platform that is very user-focused and I think it's a model for the kind of developer-client interactions that would be ideal for this space. I appreciate the way G+ builds on top of Google's suite of powerful, user-focused tools and integrates them in a way that feels natural to me. The willingness of the G+ developers to embrace community feedback and respond in innovative ways is also delightful to me as someone who works in the user experience field (see also my particularly interesting story).
In comparison to Facebook, G+ makes me feel less pressured to serve the needs of the social graph itself and more free to be who I want to be in the context of online networking. I was an early adopter of Facebook (joined in 2005) and have worked at social game development companies for a little while, so I'm very familiar with the platform from a user's perspective as well as a developer's perspective. Facebook is very much about promoting Facebook and increasing the site's value, which is natural considering that it's the company's only product. Google, on the other hand, has many products and doesn't even need to monetize G+ (yet) to continue supporting itself as a company. That makes for a much more relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, as well as a development perspective focused on exploration, feedback, and improvement rather than maximizing value.
The bottom line is that I need a social networking platform in my life to function as an individual in the internet age, and G+ appears to be able to fill that need more naturally and comfortably than Facebook or LinkedIn. It's like going from renting an apartment to living in a house – there's more room to be yourself and less pressure to conform to certain behavioral norms and rules.}

From Backstage to the Spotlight: Google Employees on Google+
[Some disclaimers and information: I specialize in community management for online games and the company I currently work for recently received a significant investment from Google Ventures. Also, my boyfriend works at Google.]
This article all started with a public Google+ post by +Kelly Ellis, a software engineer at Google who works on Google+. She posted a short video update in the morning of July 1st describing some changes that the Google+ team would be making to their product over the long weekend. The leafy, sundappled background behind Ms. Ellis and her professional-yet-relaxed demeanor exemplified the Silicon Valley ease amidst unthinkably advanced technology. It's like she's just chatting with you over lunch about the project she's working on – never mind that it's the latest brainchild of the most cutting edge software company on Earth. 8 hours later, the video post had 1000 shares and almost 300 comments. Needless to say, a lot of people started following Ellis for future updates on the development of Google+, including me.
That wasn't the interesting post, though. What fascinated me was a series of interactions that followed when Ellis posted to the public once more, in a more personal and frivolous tone (although notably still G+ related): "I'm going camping this weekend and I'm actually worried about being in the wilderness without a connection and separated from Google+…I'm addicted!" Amidst the many who were also excited about a) the holiday weekend and b) Google+, one less-than-positive comment stood out:

It seems Sunnis and Shiites can get along:

Fortunately, Steve had the pre-bender foresight to invite in a merry band of bloggers who more than managed to pick up the slack for both of us.

You Can't Say No With a Full Mouth
Are abstinence pledges keeping kids from having sex? I suppose that depends on what your definition of the word "is" is:
Teens who take abstinence pledges are almost as likely to be infected with sexually transmitted diseases as kids who don't, according to a new study that found pledgers tend to substitute other risky behavior for regular intercourse.
The rates of oral and anal sex among people who planned to stay abstinent until marriage are higher than among other teens who have not had intercourse at all, according to the study, published in the April issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health. Researchers found that kids believe engaging in oral and anal sex gets around the rules of abstinence programs by technically preserving their virginity.
Let me get this, uh, straight: Abstience leads to buggery?
Anti-sodomites are gonna be pissed. The funny part is, they're a subset of the same people who thought "just say no" was an effective way to curb teen sex.

Do As I Say
Germany and France seem to finally have scuttled the eurozone's Stability and Growth Pact:
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – The European Central Bank on Tuesday slammed an accord among finance ministers that relaxes the fiscal rules underpinning the euro by giving governments a range of let-outs to escape punishment over bloated deficits.
The euro zone's central bank issued a statement just hours after ministers struck a deal in Brussels to rework the rules of the EU Stability and Growth Pact after repeated breaches of the pact's deficit limits by Germany, France and others.
"The Governing Council of the ECB is seriously concerned about the proposed changes to the Stability and Growth Pact," said the ECB, which is independent and sets interest rates for the entire 12-nation euro area.
Want to know the irony of all this? Franco-German deficit spending will likely make the euro stronger vis-a-vis the dollar.
Let me explain. The ECB is much more hamstrung than our Federal Reserve when it comes to interest rates and inflation. Berlin and Paris spending too much? The ECB will jack up rates. Higher rates mean higher yields on the bonds used to finance those deficits. In the US, the Fed is usually more concerned with growth than with inflation — and it can afford to be, given that American workers outperform European workers. (Productivity helps keep a lid on inflation.) With less inflation risk, the Fed can keep – and has kept – American interest rates low. Lower rates mean lower yields.
And so the euro gains against the dollar. After all, it pays better.
Meanwhile, the US economy continues to create much more wealth and many more jobs than the Eurozone has managed since the "economic miracle" ended 30 years ago. Since then, the dollar has been in a long term decline.
Ironic, isn't it? The worse Europe's economy performs, the more it costs us to buy their stuff.
NOTE: Yes, I know there are lots of other factors involved here. I'm just looking at one of them.

Fair Trial, Then Hang Him
You know it's a big case when the accused hasn't even been on trial, and already his lawyers have been kicked in the SCOTUS:
The Supreme Court Monday rejected the appeal of Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person publicly charged in the United States in connection with the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The justices announced their decision Monday after meeting privately Friday to discuss the case.
Moussaoui, an admitted member of al Qaeda, the Muslim terrorist group linked to the September 11 attacks, had asked the court to rule on whether his right to a fair trial hinges on obtaining testimony from other al Qaeda detainees who, he believes, would exonerate him.
Still no clue when we'll actually be able to put the bastard on trial…
The Good Old Days
Germany's Pink-Green coalition government continues to push for renewed arms sales to China, but nasty right-wingers say it's a bad idea:
"This is not the right time to lift the embargo," Friedbert Pflueger, foreign affairs spokesman for the Christian Democrats, said in an interview.
"It sends the wrong signal to China. It is also damaging for Europe's relations with the United States. We are going to bring this issue to the parliament and vote on the matter."
The European Union imposed the arms embargo after the Tiananmen Square massacres in 1989. Pushed by France and Germany, which have substantial economic interests in China and whose leaders are eager to increase sluggish growth rates, the EU is preparing to lift the embargo, saying the human rights situation in China has improved.
Remember when the lefties told us selling arms to dictators was a bad idea? Remember when righties were accused of being little more than shameless money grubbers with no interest in human rights?
Remember that? Wasn't that cool?
(Someone Else's) Mail Bag
From Drudge:
PLAYGIRL editor-in-chief Michele Zipp has been stripped of her duties after she revealed how she voted Republican in the 2004 election.
Zipp, in an e-mail, claims she was fired after an onslaught of liberal backlash.
"Hello Drudge,
"After your coverage of my article about coming out and voting Republican, I did receive many letters of support from fellow Republican voters, but it was not without repercussions. Criticism from the liberal left ensued. A few days after the onslaught of liberal backlash, I was released from my duties at Playgirl magazine.
"After underlings expressed their disinterest of working for an outed Republican editor, I have a strong suspicion that my position was no longer valued by Playgirl executives. I also received a phone call from a leading official from Playgirl magazine, in which he stated with a laugh, "I wouldn't have hired you if I knew you were a Republican.
"I just wanted to let you know of the fear the liberal left has about a woman with power possessing Republican views."

Sign of the Apocolypse?
Remember wheh Communists had all the cool culture? Movies by Eisenstein, bold graphic art on propaganda posters, truly heroic sculpture… you get the idea.
(Hell, up until fairly recently, you couldn't even find a decent right-leaning movie in this country. If our artists weren't all capital-C Commies, they sure seemed to travel that direction.)
So it's with no small amount of pleasure that I tell you that the tide has turned: The Communists can't even do decent web design any more.
I Only Laugh When It Hurts
Sending John Bolton to be ambassador to the U.N. is like … putting Sudan and Zimbabwe on the Human Rights Commission. Or letting Saddam's Iraq chair the U.N. Conference on Disarmament. Or sending a bunch of child-sex fiends to man U.N. operations in the Congo. And the Central African Republic. And Sierra Leone, and Burundi, Liberia, Haiti, Kosovo, and pretty much everywhere else.
All of the above happened without the U.N. fetishists running around shrieking hysterically. Why should America be the only country not to enjoy an uproarious joke at the U.N.'s expense?
Why? Because we're expected to pay 25% of the dues, sit down, and shut up. But where's the fun in that?

A Parable
A Parable?
Late one evening in the summer, a sudden rumour ran round the farm that something had happened to Boxer . . . A few minutes later two pigeons came racing in with the news: "Boxer has fallen! He is lying on his side and can't get up!"
About half the animals on the farm rushed out to the knoll where the windmill stood. There lay Boxer, between the shafts of the cart, his neck stretched out, unable even to raise his head. . . .
After about a quarter of an hour Squealer appeared, full of sympathy and concern. He said that Comrade Napoleon had learned with the very deepest distress of this misfortune to one of the most loyal workers on the farm, and was already making arrangements to send Boxer to be treated in the hospital at Willingdon.
The animals felt a little uneasy at this. Except for Mollie and Snowball, no other animal had ever left the farm, and they did not like to think of their sick comrade in the hands of human beings. However, Squealer easily convinced them that the veterinary surgeon in Willingdon could treat Boxer's case more satisfactorily than could be done on the farm . . .

Terri Schiavo Will Starve to Death
Terri Schiavo's feeding tube was removed today, despite her parents' efforts to keep her alive.
A statement on Schiavo's parents' Web site read: "Terri's nutrition and hydration have now been withheld from her. It is unclear if the port that accommodates her feeding tube has been surgically removed as her family was ordered to leave her room."
Schiavo, who is in a persistent vegetative state, will starve to death within a week or two unless the tube is reinserted. No person has ever come out of a persistent vegetative state.
Many people say the feeding tube removal is tantamount to murder. Others believe it's the only humane thing to do. What do you think? Join the discussion at my blog.

Abstinence Only
…but anal sex first!
Teens who pledge to remain virgins until marriage are more likely to take chances with other kinds of sex that increase the risk of sexually transmitted diseases, a study of 12,000 adolescents suggests.
The report by Yale and Columbia University researchers could help explain their earlier findings that teens who pledged abstinence are just as likely to have STDs as their peers.
Are kids today really stupid enough to not understand how disease is transmitted?* Reminds me of a certain someone with whom I used to work who believed her boyfriend when he said "You can't get pregnant if I only stick it halfway in."
Hey hey hey, look who's got a bun in the oven.
Sounds to me like we need more sex education**, not less.

Cats & Dogs Satchel
The Cats and Dogs Satchel is an adorable tote perfect for animal lovers! Using a tessellated pattern of cats and dogs, one might be temped to see a simple houndstooth patterning from afar. Upon closer inspection, the repeating colorwork motifs of cats and dogs are revealed! The front flap is the highlight of the satchel and is worked in the round, and then steeked to give the bag its flat shape. To make the colorwork motifs easier to work on the strap, it is knit in the round as a long tube and heavy interfacing is inserted for reinforcement. Inside, you will find an additional pocket which can be worked in pain stockinette stitch or in the same cute paw print patterning found along the strap.
You will need US 3 (3.25mm) DPNs or 32" or longer circulars for magic loop, or size to obtain gauge, yarn needle, stitch markers, 1 package of 1/2" double-fold Bias tape in black, sewing needle and thread, lining fabric, magnetic or buckle closure, and heavy interfacing (optional).

"I take my religion very seriously, there are no blasphemous or sacrilegious jokes in my act," said Usman.
This is something he holds in common with Alper, who boasts that his act is "totally clean" covering such topics as being a rabbi, going to a religious school, weddings, funerals, and baby naming ceremonies.
Alper, who was ordained as a rabbi in 1972 and received his doctor of ministry from Princeton Theological Seminary, told IOL that he does not joke about religion, but rather about religious people.
He recalled that after one of his shows an older Jewish man came up to him and said, "Thank you for respecting us."
Alper has served congregations in Buffalo and Philadelphia, but left to perform stand-up around the country for the past 20 years.
Usman also left his profession as a lawyer to pursue a career as a comedian.
He has performed at comedy clubs around the country and overseas and co-founded the hugely successful "Allah Made Me Funny the Official Muslim Comedy Tour."
United on Stage

The funny couple doubt-teamed in a recent comedy event held at New York University on Thursday, March 22.
The "One Muslim, One Jew, One Stage" show as sponsored by the Islamic Center at NYU, the Jewish Student group Hilel and Shuruq, an Islamic arts and cultural organization.
Usman, tall with a long beard, joked about racial profiling at airports.
"If I was a crazy fundamentalist, this is not the disguise I would choose."
He also jokes about being a Muslim-American post 9-11.
"I have a friend named Osama, who I have programmed in my phone as 'Osama cell' and every time he calls I feel the need to overcompensate by answering "Hey Sami, my AMERICAN friend, remember when we sang the Star - Spangled Banner together?"
Alper joked about studying Hebrew, noting the difference between spoken Hebrew and rabbinical Hebrew.
"Behold! Here I descend," he once told an Israeli cab driver on reaching his destination.
The light-hearted show stays away from current events and politics, although in his solo act Usman says there is no topic he will stay away from.
"I differ to Bob in keeping it a non-political show," the Muslim comedian told IOL.
After both performed their solo acts, they came on stage together where they told the audience about their backgrounds and how they felt about performing together.
Some audience members enjoyed the non-political humor.
"I like the fact that it had nothing to do with politics and was focused on similarities and cutting up stereotypes," Shahzad Qalbani, 30, a finance professional, told IOL.
While others like Naomi Sorkin, 20, thought that although it was "entertaining, it was not too daring."
"The Muslim comedian was more politicized," she said, citing jokes about the Danish cartoon controversy and the Iraq war.
Sorkin said the Jewish comedian had more "family-centered jokes."
The applauding and cheering audience seemed to have shared happiness and laughter.
"It was a breath of fresh air, and surprisingly funny," said Eric Lord, 25.
"It was good, great, they are both guys with good characters and so funny," agreed Pamela, 19.
The show ended with Alper joking "there is one thing that could make more peace between all people, one thing that could be healing if all of us together Jews and Muslims ("Muslims and Jews," Usman chimed in) could learn…Irish dancing."
The pair then broke into an Irish jig and embraced as the audience laughed and cheered.

London Fund Manager: We're Really Overdone Here—This Selling In Gold & Silver Is Unsustainable
February 25, 2013 | By Tekoa Da Silva
This morning I spoke with a contact in London who manages a precious metals & mining equity fund, part of a multi-billion dollar asset management firm. While he cannot be referenced at this time, I asked his thoughts on last week's terrifying smash of the metals and miners.
Here's what he said:
"I bought some silver investments for myself last week when I felt we washed out…but you know what, I think we're really done here. There's only so much [they] can do on the short side…and you saw that volume in the silver futures market last week. It's not sustainable. When those people want to get out [the shorts], that will lead us higher."
When asked if any new interest came into the market, he said, "[Right now] it's all the same people, and we're all still playing in the same paddling pool. Until it turns into a swimming pool, and then an ocean—we're going to be range-bound."
However, the sentiment among money managers is slowly changing he explained, because, "When I pitch the idea of buying to my colleagues, they seem more interested now. They're recognizing that the overall market looks quite expensive, and gold and silver look quite cheap."
Concluding he said, "Are you going to go buy a bank share? The answer is no. That sounds a bit simple, but if people stopped putting money into bank shares…and instead put it into gold and silver shares, or even into the metal itself—that would qualify as the new entrants/money flow that the sector needs."
Bottom Line: The metals markets remain tiny, a "paddling pool" as mentioned by our money-managing friend. That suggests we are still in the early days of this bull market.
Additionally, if gold and silver is "money", and gold & silver producers are "money producers"…will there be a tipping point in which smart money flees bank stocks, and reallocates that capital to "money" and "money producers"?
Such a scenario is plausible, but may only occur amid a renewed solvency crisis among banks, combined with a currency crisis.
What are the odds of that happening? If Japan's recent smashing of their currency is any indication, that date may be in the not too distant future.

Meet Andrew, a senior at Prestonwood Christian Academy in Plano, TX. He's graduating this May, and I couldn't be more proud, because he's my brother-in-law!
He's one of the best guys I've ever met. He'll do anything for anyone, and just loves being around people. I've had the privilege of seeing him grow up since he was 12, and I couldn't be more grateful for that. He is such a good role model for others, and even I look up to him. So glad he's my brother!
Anyway, I wanted this session to reflect Andrew. He's calm and collected, but with the right people, he can be funny and wacky. I wanted settings that would be original, and not degrade his personality. Basically, I wanted manly shots.We discovered a building in downtown Plano with cool old white garages and red trim. Perfect! And then we went to the Shops at Legacy, found a chair to model on (hehe), and made our way to a parking garage.
Andrew was SUCH a great model. He took direction crazy well, and he didn't ever feel awkward. I loved it!! He had the serious face DOWN, and looked great with his amazing smile, as well. Take a look! He's gonna break hearts in college.

I remember the morning that I took the pregnancy test on September 26, 2010, just a few days after my husband's birthday. The pregnancy test turned positive right away. We had been trying for a long time to have a baby and we were finally blessed with the news that we were expecting. At the time, the…Continue

I recently spent an afternoon with a good friend, who has a toddler. While we were talking about parenting she told me her son has started biting his baby brother. My friend said nothing she or her husband had tried is working. Her son bit another child at childcare this week for the first time
Biting is a behavior that many toddlers display at one time or another. It can be something that makes the adults feel frustrated and helpless. There is hope!

I was the first of my family and friends to have a baby last year during the baby boom.

One of the absolute best moments of my entire life was the moment I saw my son for the first time. Of course it was! My entire life would never be the same.
But months before the birth of our son, an unexpected moment made me realize how my life was about to change.

Some of you may have noticed this already.
I updated the way the PM systems looks.
Now, when you go in to read a PM, it's a bit easier on the eyes with less clutter.
Also, if you go to your userCp options, there is now a check box called PM Preview. If you check this, when you go to look at your list of PMs, it will show you a small preview of each one.
If enough people comment that they like this, I can turn it on automatically, else I'll leave it off. For some people who recieve a lot of PMs this might be handy. Others might not like the change.
Hopefully you all like.

Washington was the more agressive team in Game 5 and despite Rangers' goalie Henrik Lundqvist's best efforts, the Caps emerged victorious. A 3-0 Capitals lead late in the third period proved to be too much for the Blueshirts as Washington avenged its 2010 Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series loss to the Montreal Canadiens in which they surrendered a 3-1 series lead.

- Full Description
Humans have an extraordinary capability to combine different types of information in a single meaningful interpretation. The quickness with which interpretation processes evolve suggests the existence of a uniform procedure for all domains. In this book the authors suggest that such a procedure can be found. They concentrate on the introduction of a theory of interpretation, and they define a model that enables a meaningful representation of knowledge, based on a dynamic view of information and a cognitive model of human information processing. The book consists of three parts. The first part focuses on the properties of signs and sign interpretation; in the second part the authors introduce a model that complies with the conditions for sign processing set by the first part; and in the third part they examine applications of their model in the domain of logic, natural language, reasoning and mathematics. Finally they show how these domains pop up as perspectives in an overall model of knowledge representation. The reader is assumed to have some interest in human information processing and knowledge modeling. Natural language is considered in the obvious sense, familiarity with linguistic theories is not required. Sign theoretical concepts are restricted to a manageable subset, which is introduced gently. Finally, some familiarity with basic concepts of propositional and syllogistic logic may be useful.

Such a guide / manual / best practices would indeed be a really big help! > ... provide it a manner that one does not have to be an > expert in awk/sed/grep/etc to make it useful ... To my mind at least, it is not so much about awk et al, but more about understanding what interfaces are available, which ones are stable, efficient and so on. There is a lot of them, and quite hard to penetrate. That said, it would be very helpful to have some worked examples on commonly needed functions (e.g. converting logical token to card ID leaps to mind). "To do X, here's a scripty-thing that works and is stable: `utsomecommand | awk <foo> | sed <bar> | grep <blah blah> | grok <this>` " I trust this will be announced here and elsewhere when baked enough? Any idea how long? (I'd personally rather have something mostly baked earlier, but understand your powers that be may not share that view. q;^) -- Peter Craig Bender <Craig.Bender at oracle.com> Sent by: sunray-users-bounces at filibeto.org 2010.06.28 20:57 Please respond to SunRay-Users mailing list To: SunRay-Users mailing list <sunray-users at filibeto.org> cc: Subject: Re: [SunRay-Users] SDK for SRSS While not a SDK in the traditional sense, we are working now on a Kiosk Deployment Guide / Reference Manual. This document will cover things like a deeper dive into the kiosk frame work, session flow (startup/tear down), documenting the utilities provided by SUNWkio, public and stable interfaces to gather session information from, best practices, examples, troubleshooting, and debugging. My goal is to have this document out fairly soon (i.e. before August). Along with the documentation Jörg mentioned, we will also be pulling in information from various sources such as some excellent (although internal only) engineering docs (most written by Jörg!), blogs, wikis, and this mailing list. After all of this disparate information is pulled together into one concise guide, we will keep it updated with any changes to Kiosk mode that may affect the previous versions operation. The target audience of this doc will not only be the SRSS system administrators and the partners/resellers who deploy Sun Rays, but also for 3rd party ISV's that would like to develop their own Kiosk Session Descriptors. A great example of this would be (and I'm not saying they are doing this) would be Citrix. They could key off of the SUNWkio package when installing the ICA Client for Linux or Solaris and drop in all the required files to have a Kiosk Session descriptor for Sun Rays Servers that have the Citrix ICA client installed. Same could be said for the all the different VDI brokers out there, Quest, Leostream, etc. However we'd really love it if everyone just used Oracle VDI instead. ;) An obligatory but important note/disclaimer: Users following the recommendations and best practices in this document does not mean Oracle will be certifying individual applications or commenting on their suitability for use in Kiosk mode. Rather, it's a guide on how to use Kiosk Mode feature of SRSS in a supported manner. As part of the same project, but bigger in scope and just in the drawing board stage, would be to provide a set of utilities that provide the most commonly used session information in the least invasive way possible. For instance, while utwho is a great utility to find out the IP address of your DTU, it's not so great when 500 kiosk sessions are calling it on a server start up since it invokes the authentication daemon (authd). Here's where we at Oracle developing Sun Ray Software would love to hear from you. What session information would you like to have at your disposal? Things like IP, MAC address, token ID, etc. Granted most of this session information is available today, but the idea here is to provide it a manner that one does not have to be an expert in awk/sed/grep/etc to make it useful and as mentioned before, make getting this information less taxing on the system. In my mind the latter is just as important reason as Oracle's latest x86 servers are far more powerful than ever before and having 500 kiosk sessions on a 1RU server like the x4170 is now a reality. In order to reduce the number of "gotchas" when scaling vertically like this, removing any bottle necks that may be caused by software becomes very important. In some cases that may be re-working some of the core pieces of SRSS or even some tuning and tweaking of the OS, but in the short term, non-invasive information gathering utilities will save a lot of cycles especially in Kiosk Mode. Also feel free to drop me a note (either directly or to this list) on future enhancements you'd like to see to Kiosk Mode. For instance, I'd like to include a few more default session descriptors by default like the Generic X Session and perhaps a session descriptor that just launches a terminal that can be used to test scripts against. While it's easy to create these things, I'd like things to be easier out of the box. Other ideas include creating GUI equivalents to all the CLI only tools or providing access to the via the Admin GUI, like being able to declare what you'd like to do via utaction right from the Edit kiosk session tab, allowing for multiple kiosk definitions (or productizing something like Daniel Cifuentes's Meta-Kiosk http://blogs.sun.com/ThinkThin/entry/meta_kiosk_how_to_run). Don't limit your thinking or ideas to the underlying Solaris or Linux session, if you'd like to see the Sun Ray Windows Connector do something in Kiosk mode it currently doesn't, speak up. Not really looking for "Hey it would be great if SRWC did 3D" or "Support Web Cams", more along the lines of "provide a built in mechanism to lock the windows session on session disconnect instead of having to rely on xvkbd".

Gold Coast coach John Cartwright expects to face a fired-up South Sydney after the NRL ladder-leader's shock loss to St George Illawarra on Monday.
The Rabbitohs were upset in golden point by rivals the Dragons and have a short turnaround before taking on the Titans at Skilled Park on Saturday.
Cartwright recalled State of Origin pair Nate Myles and Greg Bird on Tuesday after resting them from last weekend's clash against Manly while centre Brad Takairangi has also been named to play the Bunnies.
While the trio are big inclusions, Cartwright believes he'll need his best available personnel to overcome a hungry Souths outfit.
"(Souths) had their chances to win the game so I'd say they'd be smarting," Cartwright said.
"They're leading the comp and were up by 12 points with not long to go so I'm pretty sure they'll be made aware of where they were short and they'll come up here ready."
The Titans' desperation should also be high following their three heavy defeats on the spin after Sunday's loss to the Sea Eagles.
Those losses have dumped the Titans out of the top eight and down to 10th with a tough run-in looming.
Cartwright said his team must win their remaining three home matches to have any hope of making the finals.
"It's very frustrating," he said.
"The thing that it does come down to is confidence ... in combinations and each other.
"We're not making any excuses ... we're going to work hard on getting it right. One thing for sure is the Manly game was a much improved effort."

Comments about Stage Lighting System 2:
I think that this would be perfect for a small time DJ or a small band. However the lighting system was not very bright. the system looks very professional and that's a major plus for a band or DJ. I was expecting something much brighter.
The controller that comes with this set-up is an elation controller. my only complaint about it is that it doesn't store any chases.
No real instructions. The truss is great and the controller is good. just needs stronger lights and different dimmer packs. it is good for the price if you are a small group.
Best Uses
Comments about Stage Lighting System 2:
For the mobile DJ especially. A bit bulky. But, once the detailed setup work is done initially, it has a wonderfully easy up and down process beyond that. Strong brackets. Nice and bright lights that run a 'little' warm, but if you take off a couple of the can lights that come with it you have plenty of room to mount 'many' other lights and the truss seems more than strong enough to add 4 more lights to it without a problem. Bulky is expected, though. It is a 10 foot truss system after all. Love the cranks on the supports, too. Very easy to use. :) Love this thing all over. The controller is decent, however it does not hold a memory for your lights. So, a recorded setup is lost once the unit is turned off. Small downside for me, though. As the controller is pretty easy to learn. :)
Comments about Stage Lighting System 2:
Overall. This thing rocks. The programming is easy enough to get it how u like it. I found the. Est approach to be like a lot of things. Whip it out and play with it (pun intended). I have not tried more than 8 lights with it yet, but will be adding some shortly. Not sure if 2 4 channel dimmers will allow me to individually control 16 lights. Will have to do some playing when I get the others
Comments about Stage Lighting System 2:
The lighting system is huge!!! What a display of lighting. I was extremely pleased with the quality of this product at such a low price. I had the complete system set up in less than 30 min. I added another 8 par 38 cans to the system and tested for extreme amp draw of the lighting packs. I also incorporated 2 - Chauvet 4 play systems and a Chauvet mini 4-bar. This is by far the best investment I have ever made in the production of our Bands show.
Thank You Musicians Friend for you support through the selection and purchasing of the lighting equipment you have always delivered quailty products at affordable prices.
The features of this controller. It great for the price it does everything a man needs to pull off a great light show.
Great Quality, smooth operation and assembly.
For the price this was a great value. If bought separately this system would cost at least twice as much.
Comments about Stage Lighting System 2:
I received the package and eagerly set up the truss system, stands, and lights. 2 hours later, (directions not included) the system was fully operational and I was excited. 1st gig, the internal groove drive that raises and lowers the truss evidently became unriveted and the grooves went up and down, but not the truss. 2nd gig, (after I epoxied the groove system in place) the raising lever and spring handle broke. The 3rd gig is today... I can't wait... But the electronic controller is great!

LOWVILLE An oxygen supply leak early Friday morning at Lewis County General Hospital officials caused some surgical rescheduling but no major problems.
The staff acted promptly to ensure patient safety was not compromised, hospital CEO Eric R. Burch said in a release. At no time were patients or residents without an adequate oxygen supply.
The leak was detected at about 2 a.m., and local police and fire authorities responded quickly to assist with traffic control and securing of the area.
As a safety precaution, ambulatory surgeries were canceled, but all other hospital services were not affected.
The leak was repaired, and the hospital resumed regular operations by late Friday morning.
A backup oxygen supply is maintained for emergency purposes and may be used for four to five days, if needed, hospital officials said.
