There are, of course, those gorgeous photos. Of weddings, children, and all of life's details. However, what Kiss The Groom really is is a place to remember the people and things that we love. Everything that each day we should take a moment to notice and appreciate. An afternoon with a good magazine, a stolen moment with a loved one, cake and tea on a lazy Sunday, and overall the beauty and happiness within us all. Kiss the Groom is the cliffs notes of how to enjoy life.

Congratulations on this terrific and honorable award! From the moment I skimmed through your site, I knew this would be a place of great inspiration and creativity. It all started when i created a special kissing tree for my fiance John and I as in many ways as it represented the growth of our relationship - sounds silly, but oddly fitting! Not only have I gained many incredible ideas from your blog for our special day but I've also come to realize the extent of my passion for weddings, photography and the beautifully small details in life:) Thanks for allowing me to escape my everday routine and fall into a world of inspiration and enjoyment!

Sending virtual kisses to Kiss the Groom! As a bride to be, I have become increasinly obsessed with Kiss the Groom. I find myself not only checking every day for a new post, but I also come back to the site several times a day to look at the older entries posted that I have looked at a dozen times already. I become lost in the pictures....daydreaming and envisioning the love and laughter of the events and photo sessions you post as if I were there. Kiss the Groom gives me inspiration, not only for my upcoming wedding, but for a lifetime with images of love far after the wedding day is over. I am looking forward to being a gorgeous bride, fantastic wife, and incredible mother...just like the women featured on your blog. Thank you for taking me to a greater place.

It's always so wonderful when a community steps up to support one of its members, and I think the many loyal readers of your blog felt like they had to share how stunning it is with the rest of the world. What I love about Kiss the Groom is the tactile quality of the images-you never lose out on an opportunity to show us how it feels, whether it's the lace on a wedding gown or the ecstasy in a kiss. The ethereal quality of your photographs is present whether it's a wedding, a photography event or a child holding a cupcake. You give each of these moments such care and detail, and it's that mindfulness of beauty in every moment that is so special about Kiss the Groom. Congratulations on an honor well-earned.
Jul 23-2009 , 12:06PM

Congratulations, well deserved.
I like to visit Kiss the Groom daily because it keeps my link to a love of photography alive. In the midst of daily editing it is so easy to become bogged down in it and overwhelmed by it and to forget why I got into photography in the first place. But in visiting Kiss the Groom, so often I have to catch my breath at the beauty of the photographs and it renews my love for photography and gives me back the desire to grab my camera and go out and make my own beautiful photographs, so thank you.

The reason I like Kiss the Groom is simply because I can see the love oozing from your photographs. I can honestly see the authenticity and uniqueness of the people you photograph. It's a refreshing break from the normal heavy hitter photoshopped and "actioned-out" photography that's currently out there. Your style is genuine and I just cannot say enough about the L.O.V.E.!! =)

The absolute simple beauty and wonderful images make my heart smile.
Jul 24-2009 , 09:58PM
Every weekday morning I wake up and fly straight into my office chair. I pick up the previous day's stresses right where I left them: unanswered emails, unedited photos, Quickbooks eating my soul, and the like. My mornings are hectic! But sometime around ten or eleven I stop to take a look at Kiss the Groom's daily offering. It reminds me of certain important things: that I love red shoes and peonies, that I'd love to frolic in a sepia-toned field, that I'm a beach bum at heart, that I should give my sweet husband more kisses, that I cherish photographs. What a mid-day gift! This is why I love Kiss the Groom.
Jul 25-2009 , 01:53PM
Kiss The Groom is one of my daily stops on the web. Your photography truly gets to the core of why we were put on this earth... to enjoy each other and the simplicity of friendship and love. All of the moments you capture are real. There is such an innocence to them. Everything you feature makes me smile.
Jul 26-2009 , 06:55PM
Congrats Elizabeth... your work is stunning and so inspiring!
Jul 28-2009 , 11:17AM
Eep! Hope this isn't too late, and if it is ... oh well - you deserve to hear this anyway :) This blog is BEYOND an inspiration to me. It's poses a challenge to me as a young photographer to look for those little moments where love is bursting at the seams. I'm young and I dream a lot... I imagine a lot. Your photos reassure me that we're able to capture these dreams into still images. And the fact that these images will last beyond a lifetime is that much more beautiful. Thank you Kiss the Groom.
Jul 30-2009 , 02:37PM
As a photographer and a mother, I visit your blog for so many reasons. I come by to get a boost when I feel I'm overwhelmed by parenthood, work, lack of time with my husband...and remember what is important. I wonder where you store all this loveliness when life with children and a career overwhelm. I'm in awe at how much beautiful work you produce and how you manage to find time to blog every day (with such warm, insightful thoughts.) I sometimes visit to remember how lucky I am to be in love, to be a mother to a beautiful son (and one on the way), and to have a job I LOVE. And sometimes I visit to just see some beautiful photos.
Jul 13-2011 , 04:22AM
congratulations, what a wonderful acknowledgement of your beautiful and inspirirng work !! Andrea

Solid Snake has been synonymous with the PlayStation brand for years; however, Metal Gear Solid Rising will be the first new installation in the series to focus on Raiden as the protagonist throughout, and be released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 simultaneously as well.
Snake might not be the only thing missing from Rising, as Hideo Kojima speaks to OPM UK about that traditional stealth action gameplay we all know and love.
"If somebody thinks 'I love Snake' and just really wants traditional stealth gameplay and that experience, then it may be hard to get into Rising" Kojima said in a recent interview with OPM.
"But for people who are more open and willing to try new things, it shouldn't be a problem."
"Raiden in MGS 4 was received very well, and I wanted to keep going with that direction in Rising. The people who liked him in 4 will like him in this, but it's a personal preference" he added.
There's no doubt that Metal Gear Rising will be a completely new experience—it's being made by a new team. While this leaves room for innovation and new ideas to surface, it also echoes a worry for Metal Gear enthusiasts that may have been down with Kojima attempting to end the series with Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

text: Trendspotting and more mar 20, 2014 Share via Facebook Share via Twitter Share via Google plus Share via Pinterest Sabine Modder An integral part of the Mocoloco team since 2005, Sabine can be found exploring art and design shows around the world, seeking out the latest entries from artists and studios that are established, emerging and everything in between. Designs that are high concept, high comfort and high quality are sure to get her attention, as are those that appeal to her sense of touch and sense of humour. An object may be simple, but the good storytelling behind it can be very seductive. What's happening in the world of trends this season? Stilbüro bora.herke.palmisano, a key player in the area of trendspotting, recently answered this question at Ambiente 2014, the world's largest consumer goods trade fair, which took place this year in Frankfurt from February 7 – 11. Although this season's tone is generally quiet, the calm is punctuated by intensity and surprise. Stilbüro bora.herke.palmisano identified four strong themes as the trends of 2014: subtle spirit and serene nature were contrasted by stunning temper and striking mind. There is something for everyone among these diverse trends. Stunning temper is all about the element of surprise that emerges when unconventional patterns, textures or materials are married. The bold concepts that result are an expression of confidence and daring. Experimentation is encouraged and a healthy dose of humour expected. The colour palette is playful and imaginative, with shades of mandarin, lime and raspberry mixing with apricot, teal and light grey. Fabulous from Julien Macdonald & Precious from Superfresco Easy Subtle spirit is a reflection of quiet strength and quality. The colours marked by this trend are by no means washed out; instead they manifest a steady elegance that is warm, inviting and intimate. Look to midnight blue, fir and aubergine to set the tone; accent them with jade, mauve and matte gold. Traditional techniques and craftsmanship are explored in contemporary contexts. Ikat from Kelly Hoppen & Botanical Floral from Kelly Hoppen Striking mind is clean, strong and intense. Graphic effects, geometric patterns and chrome play off black, white, slate, blue and yellow. The message is one of focus and clarity. The call to action is an intellectual reflection of functionality and classic style. Carnival from Hemingway & Wonky Boxes from Hemingway Serene nature peels back the layers to simplicity. Materials are natural, forms are fuss-free and the effect is one of smooth, measured calm. Soft colours such as taupe, grey, sand, peach and hints of violet help to slow us down and ground us, allowing us to press pause within our hectic lifestyles. This atmosphere lends itself to mindfulness as we gently build our energy. Willow from Superfresco Easy & Alaska from Superfresco Easy There you have it – this season's moods according to Stilbüro bora.herke.palmisano. Underlined by quiet strength, the trends of 2014 emphasize atmospheres that are conducive to balance, confidence and, always, an element of surprise. How will you adapt them to your lifestyle?

Researching Risk Preference
When It Comes To Cross-Cultural Predictions, Your Best Guess May Not Be Good Enough
Research by Christopher K. Hsee
"Don't judge a book by its cover" is a universal
adage, but many business people do exactly that when speculating
about foreign cultures. Relying on cultural stereotypes to
make predictions about the behavior of foreign business partners
is outdated and unreliable, and in the era of multinational
business, it is one of the surest ways to sabotage negotiations
and relationships.
In the study "Cross-national Differences in Risk Preferences
and Lay Predictions for the Differences," University
of Chicago Graduate School of Business professor Christopher
K. Hsee and Elke U. Weber of Columbia University present evidence
that even some of our most basic stereotypes-such as generalities
about Asian versus Western cultures-are inaccurate, and that
relying on these stereotypes can lead us to misjudge the decisions
of foreign counterparts.
Hsee and Weber examine whether American and Chinese respondents
could accurately predict the "risk preferences"
of their counterparts.
Risk preference is defined as one's tendency to choose a
risky option (such as an investment that has equal chances
to yield a 20 percent return or a 0 percent return), or a
safe option of an equal or lower expected value (such as an
investment with a guaranteed return of 5 percent).
Although researchers have compared Chinese with Americans
in many decision-related topics, little is known about how
Chinese differ from Americans in their risk preference or
how people formulate predictions of the risk preference of
foreign counterparts.
The authors chose to compare the two countries for many reasons,
including the fact that on issues such as traditional values
and current political systems, the United States and China
stand on almost opposite ends of the continuum and respectively
represent Western and Eastern values. Also, both countries
wield significant impact on the world economy.
Results from the study showed that both the Americans and
the Chinese predicted that the Americans would be more willing
to take risks. The Americans underestimated the Chinese propensity
to seek risk, and the Chinese overestimated the Americans'
willingness to take risks.
Contrary to these predictions, the authors found that the
American participants were considerably more risk-averse than
the Chinese.
"We are talking about relative terms," says Hsee.
"We do not imply that the Americans are not risk-seeking
enough or that the Chinese are not prudent enough. We do not
draw conclusions about what is the optimal level of risk-seeking.
Maybe the Chinese are too risk-seeking, or maybe the Americans
are too risk-averse."
The Coin Toss
To measure the risk preference between the two cultures,
the authors provided university students from China and America
with questionnaires that offered a series of choices between
sure options and risky options. For example, respondents were
asked to choose between receiving a fixed sum of $400 or flipping
a coin and receiving either $2,000 or $0 depending on the
outcome of the coin flip. In another study, respondents were
asked to choose between a safe investment option (with a fixed
4 percent return) and a riskier investment option (with an
uncertain return rate ranging from 0 to 8 percent).
In both studies the Chinese respondents were more inclined
to take the risky option than the American respondents.
To determine whether participants can accurately judge the
risk preference of other cultures, respondents in the first
study were also asked to predict how their counterparts from
the other country would react in the outlined situations.
Both Americans and Chinese participants believed the Americans
would be more willing to choose the risky option. This prediction
directly contradicts the actual risk preference.
Cushion or Opportunity
To explain why the Chinese are more risk seeking than the
Americans, the authors explored two possible hypotheses: the
"cushion" hypothesis and the "opportunity"
The cushion hypothesis is based on findings in previous research
that individualistic cultures such as the United States emphasize
personal freedom and independence, and collectivist societies
such as China endorse social relatedness and interdependence
with family and community. The cushion hypothesis is also
based on an idea for which Weber has found ample empirical
support, namely, that differences in risk preference can occur
because individuals have different perceptions of the dangers
of a risky option. In other words, depending on the country
in which an individual gained his or her cultural beliefs
and attitudes, this individual may perceive the same risky
option to involve more (or less) risk than someone from a
different culture.
"Compared with those in an individualistic society,"
say Hsee and Weber, "people in a collectivist society
may be more likely to receive help if they are in need. As
a result, the adverse outcome of a risky option may not seem
as severe to them. They appear to be less risk averse. People
in a collectivist culture feel that they are 'cushioned' in
case they fall, which is why we call it the cushion hypothesis."
Follow-up work by the authors has confirmed the prediction
of the cushion hypothesis. The Chinese do perceive the risks
involved in risky financial decisions to be less severe than
their American counterparts.
The "opportunity hypothesis" is related to the
current economic situations of the two countries and focuses
on differences in their attitudes toward risk.
"China today is very much like America during the Gold
Rush period," says Hsee. "The economy is developing
rapidly, and many people benefit from taking great risks.
This is less true for people in countries with well-developed
economies such as the United States. Americans today may not
find it beneficial to take unnecessary risks."
Cultural Stereotypes
Why then do both the Americans and the Chinese make the wrong
predictions about the risk preference of their counterparts
in the other country? The authors suggest that people often
base their predictions on stereotypes. Ubiquitous mass media
images which influence our view of cultures tend to promote
the stereotype of the risk-seeking, independent American.
Popular Chinese stereotypes reflect more cautious, conservative
and collectivist characteristics, even when they originate
in Chinese-made productions.
The cultural stereotype about Chinese risk aversion may have
been correct at some point, suggest Hsee and Weber, but it
lags behind current social and economic activities that are
reshaping the country and its identity. The same may be true
of the American risk-seeking stereotype. The authors cite
research that highlights changes in the American social and
political landscape since the 1960s that may have affected
American attitudes toward risk in the direction of less public
trust and greater individual caution.
Hsee and Weber found that when respondents tried to factor
in cultural differences when predicting the risk preference
of people in another country, they did so incorrectly, and
therefore, they were not able to make accurate cross-cultural
predictions of risk preference.
Hsee and Weber's findings can be used to examine general
cultural stereotypes. International business people should
ask themselves: Are there differences in my attitudes toward
risk compared with the attitudes of my foreign partners? Can
I accurately predict their decisions?
"In business negotiations between parties from different
cultures with different risk preferences, there is greater
potential for an integrative bargaining solution if these
parties have accurate beliefs about the other party's risk
preference," says Hsee.
Christopher K. Hsee is Theodore O. Yntema Professor of Behavioral Science and Marketing at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business.

text: SAN FRANCISCO: Jonathan Ive, six months into an expanded role as Apple's top product visionary, has embarked on a sweeping software overhaul that leaves the company at risk of falling behind on a new version of the operating system that runs iPhones and iPads, people with knowledge of the matter said. Already in charge of product design, Ive assumed oversight of the look and feel of software running all Apple electronics in a shakeup by Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook last year that included the departure of software chief Scott Forstall. Ive, 46, has begun revamping iPhone and iPad applications, shunning realistic images, such as wood bookshelves for the Newsstand feature, and he's exploring more dramatic changes to the e-mail and calendar tools, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the plans are private. Ive is also methodically reviewing new designs, seeking to avoid a repeat of last year's release of map tools that were widely panned, and he's encouraging collaboration between the software and hardware divisions, which operated in silos under co-founder Steve Jobs, people said. The introduction of new features, along with an emphasis on cooperation and deliberation , comes at a cost for Cupertino, California-based Apple. Engineers are racing to finish iOS 7, the next version of the mobile software, in time for a June preview at Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference. While the company still expects to release iOS 7 on time as soon as September, internal deadlines for submitting features for testing are being set later than past releases, people said.

This is a modification you probably have not and will not see anywhere else, as I had to jump through some special hoops to get these. I live in the Northeast, and every winter, we have to live with static shocks for about 5 months. This gets tiresome, and Subaru of Japan realized this at some point. They came up with part number M0017FC100 (don't bother, it doesn't work in the USA parts system) to address this issue. They retail for about $25 US at the time of this modification, though the dollar fluctuates daily. They are fairly easy to install (much easier than obtaining them in the first place) and work very well. Please feel free to
and ask any questions. Comments are always welcome.
This is the kit as it comes. Each kit is enough to do one door, and it will work on Imprezas, Legacys, and Foresters.
Step one is to find someplace to stick the pad. I chose the midpoint of my door, up by the window. Wherever you choose, you should clean the spot with rubbing alcohol to remove any oils or residues, then peel the tape off of the back and stick it down firmly.
Next, start running the cord between the door panel and it's trim strip. I used a pocketknife's fingernail cleaning tip to push it in here. Make sure you don't knick the coating on the cord.
Run the cord along this trim strip, all the way to the edge of the door.
Continue running the cord between the door panel and the weatherstrip, pushing it in gently all along the way.
Now that you have reached the weatherstrip, the cord will not stay happily on it's own. Small squares are provided to wrap around the cord to help hold it in place behind the weatherstrip.
Fold a square over the cord every few inches, and work down towards the door striker area.
Near the striker, there are three screws. The terminal end of this kit sits over the topmost one on most cars. Some Foresters may need to use one of the lower screws due to clearance issues. The instructions that come with the kit will give you an idea if this is the case.
Now, clean the area around the bolt you will use thoroughly with alcohol, to remove any greases/residues. Let dry. Remove the covering over the doublesided tape on the back of the terminal, and stick it over the screw like this. That circular area must go directly over the screw as shown.
Wrap up any excess cord as shown, and tape down the remaining cord with the provided squares, to keep things neat. The cord should be wound up to face directly left (as shown) or directly right.
Remove the cover over the doublesided tape on the back of the cover. Make note of the orientation of the notches in the cover, as the cord must run through one of these for proper fitment.

Eighty-eight percent of the students met the requirement by passing the 10th-grade Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL), a homegrown statewide test given each spring and summer.
The percentage of high-school seniors who have met state standards in reading and writing is 91.4 percent, Superintendent of Public Instruction Terry Bergeson announced Tuesday.
That's cause for celebration, Bergeson said, because it means the vast majority of seniors have fulfilled that graduation requirement, one of several that are new this year.
"I just have to stop and say, 'Yeah,' " Bergeson said. "This is so great."
Eighty-eight percent of the students met the requirement by passing the 10th-grade Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL), a homegrown statewide test given each spring and summer.

- Seattle-based seafood company shuts down
- What's the top spelling 'mistake' in Washington state? The answer could make you sick
- UW receiver Isaiah Renfro opens up about depression, announces he's leaving team
- So the NRA sends a questionnaire to a Seattle state senator ...
Most Read Stories
The other 3 percent completed one of the approved alternatives.
Bergeson urged those who have yet to pass to stay in school or enroll in high-school-completion programs in their districts, or at community colleges.
"Get that diploma and make it count," she said.
The passage rate is higher than many feared just a few years ago, when some predicted that the WASL could keep tens of thousands of students from earning a high-school diploma.
But the numbers don't mean that 91.4 percent of the class of 2008 will earn diplomas in the next few weeks.
The numbers released Tuesday, for example, don't cover the new math requirement, which also went into effect this year. Students don't have to pass the math WASL to graduate but if they don't, they must pass a full year of math class this year.
It's not yet clear how many students are succeeding — or falling short — on that count. Just 72.4 percent of seniors have passed the math WASL, Bergeson said.
The numbers also don't cover 9,500 students who entered high school four years ago but are considered juniors or sophomores because they are behind in credits. An additional 9,000 students who've dropped out of school also aren't included.
And some of the students who've passed the WASL might not graduate if they don't complete a senior project, another new requirement this year, or complete a plan for their post-high-school years.
The full picture of the class of 2008 won't be clear for weeks, if not months.
Bergeson did say, however, that she expected as many students to graduate on time as have in the past.
Many school districts are still scrambling to figure out just who can graduate. They didn't get the scores from this spring's WASL until just recently.
In Seattle and Lake Washington, school officials say they're waiting until final exams to know how many students will pass their math classes. For reading and writing, however, preliminary estimates in Seattle show that 6.7 percent of seniors will fall short because of the WASL, said spokesman David Tucker. That's 204 students.
In the Kent School District, it's down to 83 students. (Another 58 students are at risk of not passing their math class.)
Bergeson said she was particularly pleased about the passage rates in reading and writing for many minority groups. Those figures ranged from 84 percent for Latino seniors statewide, to a high of 93 percent for Caucasians and Asians (not including Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders). African-American seniors were at 86 percent. The lowest was 64.5 percent for students who didn't provide an ethnicity.
Among students from low-income families, 86.5 percent of students have passed.
The results were praised by those who have long supported the WASL, such as the business-backed Partnership for Learning, and criticism from those who raise questions about the exam, especially its use as a graduation requirement.
Shannon Rasmussen, chairwoman of the accountability task force for the Washington Education Association, says teachers' concerns about the test haven't changed. They especially don't like using any one test to determine whether students graduate.
Seniors can take the WASL again in August and still be counted as on-time graduates.

Howard's Gift: Uncommon Wisdom to Inspire Your Life's Work
by Eric Sinoway
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The shelf of management guru books is sagging and overburdened with repetitive dross, but room should definitely be made
for Howard's Gift, a definite cut above. It's the informally collected thoughts of a Harvard Business School professor who is well
respected, well loved, and who walks the walk as well as talking the talk.
The book is structured as a series of life lessons, usually beginning with a quote from Howard, and ending with a profile of a
former student or successful executive who exhibits that point. As such, it is filled with pithy quotables and the only way to review
it is to highlight some of them that appeal most.
-From his wealth of experience, he tells us that focusing on our own weaknesses is a losing proposition - focus on what works.
That will get you farther faster, and be much more satisfying to you and your game plan (if you can afford one).
-Similarly, there's the Hard Work Fallacy - that "determined effort will always overcome an enduring shortcoming". It's what all
parents instill in their children. And it's wrong.
-And watch out for the "Magnifiers: folks who shoot arrows at a blank target then draw a bull's eye around the spots they hit".
Companies are filled with them. And Howard nails them.
Howard Stevenson lives in a parallel universe of super bright Harvard students who are pretty much all destined to become
captains of industry and multimillionaires. So his theses are not tested on a control group of mere mortals. Nonetheless, there
are clear lessons for all to be gleaned from passages throughout the book.
I was particularly enamored of the section on corporate culture and how to evaluate it. There are five questions to answer, and
the results should determine how you might or might not fit in, thus saving long months or years of stress and recriminations as
you try to survive in the swamp. Unfortunately, few of us get to evaluate corporate cultures from the outside; we consider
ourselves massively lucky to be offered a job at all. When we interview, it's with a 26 year old HR manager who has no analysis
of culture to share, and the next level is a line director on his/her best behavior. No interviewer is going to admit that the owner
is a megalomaniac and that the place makes Glengarry Glen Ross look like Pleasantville. Asking these quite intrusive
questions about culture is a surefire trip off the short list.
But he redeems himself with his simple analogy of management styles: "A-level managers hire A-level staff and B-level
managers hire C-level staff. C-level managers force their teams to be C-level." So extraordinarily true and to the point. Howard
is nothing if not perceptive and concise.
-He spends a good deal of time on how companies evaluate their most important assets: "When an organization evaluates and
rewards people based primarily on results, not performance, they're reducing predictability and transparency. That isn't a good
thing....that's a formula for failure." Would that America's results fetishists could read and understand that sentence alone!
-Similarly the advice on stepping back to gain more experience rings a bit hollow, as everywhere you turn for such experience
rejects you for being overqualified.
Ageism is another evil that goes untreated, as Howard and Eric's contacts all accede to the top of the heap and can do
anything they want anywhere they want, whether they're 35 or 70. Not so for us mortals.
So as with anything else, you pick the examples can work with. The bottom line, which recurs throughout is this: "We are
happiest when we live life forward and unimpeded by regret." If you have the luck to be able to live that way, life will be most
satisfying. Take it from Howard, as thousands of students have. He's right.

Your content could be safer in the cloud
When you look at surveys about cloud computing like the one recently released by KPMG, the biggest concern among IT pros is security, but maybe they are looking at this wrong way, and the cloud is actually a safer place for your company's content in an increasingly mobile world.
Before you jump to conclusions, hear me out.
For starters, the survey found that nearly half of respondents reported that loss of control was their biggest concern. It's understandable, really. The idea of putting your data and possibly mission critical apps in the cloud takes it out of your data center, where at least you have some semblance of control. In the cloud, you are relying completely on the vendor.
In spite of this, two-thirds of respondents reported that they use some sort of software as a service and they expect to move some of their operations to Infrastructure as a Service (such as Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) Web Services) or Platform as a Service (such as Windows Azure or Open Stack) in the next couple of years.
Yet, while customers are comfortable finding services, the KPMG survey found there is a big knowledge gap when it comes to researching vendor security, pricing models and service level agreements, which define the responsibilities of the vendor in keeping the service secure and running.
Not surprisingly, 60 percent of providers have found that customers are working with third-party consultants to help them navigate the shifting marketplace and fill in gaps they don't understand.
This is somewhat ironic given that the cloud is supposed to simplify matters, not complicate them, but there may be advantages here that aren't readily apparent to the IT pros charged with making the purchasing decision.
One major advantage could be protecting employees who are increasingly going out into the world with mobile devices and using them to access enterprise content and resources. As they do this, the real danger can happen when they download content directly to those devices. Should an employee lose a device, the content is then exposed because it's stored locally and is easily accessible.
Were the same user accessing the content in a cloud service such as Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) Drive or Box, then it would require some level of authentication to get in and without a user name and password, the person with the phone is locked out of the content (and with two-layer authentication that is even more so).
Other services that give you control from the back end to shut off access to enterprise apps on a mobile device, or that provide a way to remove or lock out users from content, also gives IT greater control than they might have imagined.
The cloud offers the mobile users easy access to content through a protected security layer and has the potential to offer IT increased peace of mind by protecting that content from unauthorized users. In a world where users access content on smaller devices, the cloud could be the safest place of all--just depends on how you look at it. - Ron

Beyond the fight-or-flight reactions to the Alabama Ten Commandments controversy, questions about strategy have gone undebated-here's a start ...
Deadline day in Montgomery, Ala., was polarizing: Federal judges on Thursday, Aug. 21, were persisting in their order to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the rotunda of the Alabama Judicial Building. Police were handcuffing and leading away demonstrators defending the monument. Eight of the nine Alabama Supreme Court justices agreed to comply with the federal order. They directed the building manager to "take all steps necessary to comply ... as soon as practicable."
But on one sentiment many from all sides could agree: Say what you will about the ninth justice, Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, he does know how to restart a vital national debate that had been stalled. Facing head-on the problems inherent in removing reverence from public spaces, two years ago he dropped into that rotunda the 2.5-ton block of granite topped by an etched copy of the Ten Commandments.
Although some have criticized Justice Moore for having the monument installed the evening of July 31, 2001, without informing other justices, state officials, or reporters (but with a film crew from D. James Kennedy's ministry on hand), his gambit was hardly a stealth effort. When Mr. Moore began his run for statewide office in 2000-Alabama elects its chief justices-he kicked off his campaign in the local courtroom where he had hung a plaque of the Ten Commandments.
Alabamians who voted him in knew what they were getting. Mr. Moore in his younger days was a cowboy in Australia and a champion martial-arts fighter in Texas. His campaign three years ago was fueled by publicity he had gained by successfully defying a judicial order to remove the plaque (which he had carved himself) from his courtroom. In an age of bland politicians, Mr. Moore is unafraid to stand firm and speak out. If other officials were also willing to be bold, voters who value courage would not be so excited by movie actors who display special-effects heroism.
Against that backdrop last week, many national talk-show guests were hyperventilating and many editorial pages were ablaze. Some liberals portrayed Justice Moore as a Christian equivalent of the Taliban. Other liberals argued that he should give in to the federal court judges, and some conservatives agreed with that. Alabama Gov. Robert R. Riley and Attorney General William H. Pryor Jr., both conservative Republicans, defended the monument's constitutionality but supported abiding by the federal court order.
Some Christians tended to side with Justice Moore out of appreciation for his guts. Others tended to flee from any association with Justice Moore, lest they be seen by secular neighbors as fundamentalists trying to drop heavy-handed religious beliefs on others as cartoon characters drop anvils on their pursuers. Frequently lost amid the fight-or-flight reactions were the specific arguments.
Here are matters to keep in mind: The American Founders and their successors clearly felt free to depart from the particular civic statutes of ancient Israel, but they largely based our legal system on biblical moral law, so there's nothing wrong with showcasing the most famous statement of that moral law. Almost all Alabamians recognize the Ten Commandments as something special, and displaying them (as opposed to a cross or a passage from the book of Romans) is largely inclusive, since Jews and Muslims as well as Christians revere the words from chapter 20 of Exodus.
Furthermore, the First Amendment was designed not to keep state rotundas Bible-free but to keep the federal government from establishing a denomination (like the Episcopalians) as the preferred group to which state-required taxes and tithes had to flow. Even with that amendment now applied to states through the 14th Amendment, no one was alleging that Justice Moore in his court decisions had replaced Alabama state law with Leviticus, or that those who did not honor the Ten Commandments were silenced in his courtroom.
And yet, many Christians who oppose deleting citations of God or God's law from public forums-that, after all, effectively establishes the religion of atheism-questioned the wisdom of setting up an in-your-face monument and then acting in a way that leads to predictable headlines: "Alabama's Chief Justice Defies Federal Authority." Those headlines were reflected in letters such as this one from the Biloxi Sun-Herald: "How can Judge Roy Moore, the Alabama judge who is in violation of a higher court order to remove the Ten Commandments monument he erected in his courthouse, ever be able to judge another? He should be held in contempt of court. Can you imagine what would happen if you refused to obey his court order?"
That comment suggests the important legal questions are settled, when they may not be. If Justice Moore is criticized for waving a red cloak at federal judges, U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson should also be faulted for acting like a bull and threatening the $5,000-per-day fines. Must a federal court automatically boss around a state Supreme Court? Shouldn't there be mutual respect and patience, until issues that cannot be resolved are eventually settled by the U.S. Supreme Court? A rotunda monument is unlikely to traumatize someone so severely that it must be yanked out before the nine Washington justices render their opinion.
Patience is particularly in order because Congress also may soon be trying to untangle this matter. The House of Representatives last month passed 260-101 an amendment to an appropriations bill that would block federal funds from being used to remove the Ten Commandments monument; Senate consideration is pending. A dozen congressmen last month formed a "House Working Group on Judicial Accountability" to examine issues of federal judicial abuse. In a time when cool heads are needed, what's not helpful are mocking statements such as one by Ayesha Khan of Americans United for Separation of Church and State: "It's time for Roy's rock to roll."
On Thursday, Aug. 21, the feds still had time to back off-but if they didn't, many Americans were debating what Justice Moore should do. Here's a suggestion: Christianity is sometimes mistakenly seen as a religion of legalism rather than one centered on warm-hearted but tough-minded compassion-so Christians often must think through how best to communicate, in the words of Psalm 19, that the rules of the Lord are sweeter than honey. Questions to ask include: How does a particular action further the gospel? What does it teach nonbelievers about God? Is it likely to draw them in or alienate them?
Christian activists, for their part, should not rush either to support or scorn, but should think through whether this is the issue on which they want to concentrate their attention. Robert E. Lee, a master strategist, chose the high ground near Fredericksburg, Va., as the place to make a stand late in 1862, and his choice led to a major Southern victory. Half a year later Lee fought another major battle at Gettysburg, on ground he had not chosen that worked to his disadvantage. "Pickett's charge" on July 3, 1863, was a noble effort. It was also Lee's biggest military mistake.
Christians cannot control what biased journalists report, but those who aspire to be like Robert E. Lee need to consider the ground of battle. Here's an example of good ground: Eight years ago Texas state officials tried to remove the license of a Christian drug-counseling organization because it fought addiction through evangelism. The drug-counseling group gained a lot of support from Texans, including then-Gov. George W. Bush, because it was obviously doing good in getting people off drugs (WORLD, July 29, 1995). Recent history shows that Christians using government power to assert biblical truth tend to be seen as bullies, while those standing up against such power-if they can show that they are helping people in the process-tend to win at least grudging assent from those who would otherwise be critical.
Still, it often takes something big and dramatic, maybe even 2 5 tons worth, to wake us up from summer naps. Justice Moore, elected to uphold a state constitution that explicitly notes the importance of belief in God, deserves credit for putting himself in the line of fire. Some Christians have rallied to Justice Moore's support, and others will choose other issues. His forthrightness might even help moderate Christian lawyers uneasy about the stand he had taken: They can play "good cop" alongside his "bad cop."
When a Supreme Court opinion eventually comes, it is likely to be nuanced, with the Court (given its recent history of legislating from the bench) deciding that a 2 5-pound plaque is OK and a 2 5-ton monument is not, or that a granite Bible monument is OK if it is accompanied by several monuments to other sources, thus creating a modern Stonehenge look. At that point, Justice Moore will deserve credit for having pushed the back of the envelope so far that those who would prefer to allow only atheism in public places compliment the compromise.

Amazing!If you love puzzle games then you would be amazed by the creativity of developers, challenges are balanced if you are stuck push yourself a little harder. Being driven by source engine game requirements are not very high and still the graphics are very good. One thing I would like to tell you is that buy this game only if you have very good internet connectivity as you need to download 1.2 Gb of update for being able to play, that's my only complain as I waited for 6 hrs to play after installing the game. I recommend go for it.

Very disappointing :-(I purchased this product about 1 year back. There is nothing wrong with flipkart, but it is steamworks that ruined my mood. This was my first experience with steamworks. Installation tokk sometime for the steam setup and all, but finally I got through. But after installation steam started downloading latest patch for the game. With a horrible internet at place, i waited and waited and waited to get this download completed. but slowly I undrstood that it is not going to happen in near future. Later i cam to know that the patch is > 1gb in size. I am not a hard core gamer. I will think 20 times … (Expand)

Portal2Didn't like the product mainly because I can not understand why a consumer is expected to download hundreds of megabytes of data from the server of the product manufacturer at the time of installation. When the price of the product is paid in full then the product must be delivered to the consumer in complete. It must be left to the consumer that he wants further updates or not. I also blame flipkart for not mentioning these details on the product information page. Utterly dissatisfied. Buy only if you have high bandwidth internet connection.

SAN DIEGO - The San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office released the name of the 12-year-old boy who died at Fiesta Island Monday.
No cause of death was listed for William Shook on the Medical Examiner's Office website Tuesday.
Police and paramedics were called to the Fiesta Island Youth Camp near East Mission Bay Drive shortly after 7:30 a.m. Monday on a report the boy had shot himself, according to San Diego police and fire officials. The Boy Scouts of America hosts a summer camp there.
Officers found the 12-year-old boy inside a tent. He had a gunshot wound to his upper torso. Paramedics were unable to revive him and he was pronounced dead at the scene. A handgun was found nearby.
Police said the boy's autopsy was completed Tuesday and the manner of death is pending.
The handgun found at the scene is unregistered. "It is believed the gun's origin will be traced back to Las Vegas, Nevada and was brought to San Diego by the decedent," police said in a news release issued Tuesday.

LONDON, September 22. ONE day after British Swimming announced an inquiry into bullying allegations against Bill Sweetenham, the National Performance Director has welcomed an investigation. Actually, Sweetenham asked for an official investigation after the allegations were first reported in The London Times last month.
Sweetenham was accused of bringing a poisonous atmosphere to British swimming and blamed for a bevy of retirements. However, Sweetenham has also received support, particularly from David Davies, the Olympic bronze medalist in the 1,500 freestyle. One of the most vocal swimmers against Sweetenham has been Mark Foster, a multiple Olympian. Foster was unable to record the demanding qualifying times required of Sweetenham for the 2004 Olympic Games and has been critical of his reign.
"I wanted them to do it, I don't want that sort of stuff hanging over me," Sweetenham told journalist Paul Mulvey. "The support I've had from swimmers, coaches and parents has been unbelievable, and it happened immediately. Everyone understands what it is.
"I don't make excuses, I set high standards and I expect high standards and if that's bullying, then so be it. I've been a coach in Australia for 30 years without a problem. I told British Swimming if they think I'm too hard, tap me on the shoulder. "If they said to me tomorrow 'Bill, you're too demanding', I'd be gone in an instant."
British Swimming has been supportive of Sweetenham and has launched its inquiry because of the allegations that appeared in the newspaper. The former Australian head coach, Sweetenham has a contract to guide British Swimming through the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
"In keeping with swimming's policy of openness, we are undertaking an independent investigation with a view to determining the facts and any issues we need to address," said British Swimming chief executive David Sparkes in a statement.

OYSTER BAY, N.Y. (AP) -- FBI divers and police officials in New York's Long Island are set to retrieve a yacht that capsized and sank, killing three children.
The 34-foot Kandi Won (CAN-dee One) is approximately 60 feet below the surface of Oyster Bay, off the north shore of Long Island.
It sank on July 4th with 27 people onboard following a fireworks display.
Three children inside the cabin died in the accident.
Investigators are hoping that getting the boat back on land will assist their investigation into how it capsized.
Police are trying to determine if the boat was overcrowded. They also hope to learn if the vessel had lifejackets for every passenger.
The operator of the boat has said it was tipped over by a large wave as a storm approached Oyster Bay.

Cards' D tops and Sunday's inactivesPosted by on November 10, 2013 – 12:56 pm
We interrupt the normal gameday inactives post — because there are no surprises on it following the bye week — to note the Cardinals' defense, coming into the weekend, were the top defense in the NFL based on footballoutsiders.com's DVOA rankings. The DVOA rankings are in many ways better than the NFL rankings because it takes into account so much more than just yards. (DVOA stands for Defense-adjusted Value Over Average, balancing a team against the league average and multiple categories). FO says the Cards' strength of schedule plays a factor, as does the turnovers (although DVOA doesn't give a ton of credit for fumble recoveries, because those tend to be the luck of the bounce) and the fact the Cards do well defending on second- and third-downs. Something to chew on going into today's game.
Speaking of today's game, the (not surprising) inactive list. Bradley Sowell will start as usual at left tackle, Jake Ballard gets a spin at some tight end:
— WR Brittan Golden (hamstring)
— QB Ryan Lindley
— RB Ryan Williams
— LB Dontay Moch
–G Earl Watford
— TE Kory Sperry
— DE Ronald Talley

Adams is money when it comes to tacklingPosted by on June 22, 2011 – 11:25 am
It's been mentioned more than a few times that cornerback Michael Adams is pound-for-pound perhaps the best tackler the Cards have on defense. Now there are some stats to back it up. A new study by FootballOutsiders.com shows the defensive players who are most effective in making the tackle after a pass reception, and "Money Mike" is listed as the second-best cornerback in the NFL, percentage-wise, in 2010. Adams is credited with 47 percent "successful" tackle rate (14 in 30 chances), behind only the Eagles' Asante Samuel.
(Clarification: The success rate means of the 30 tackles Adams made on pass catchers, 14 were considered successes. FO's Aaron Schatz said Adams had three missed tackles last year, about average.)
Adams has shortcomings because of his size, but there are good reasons why he has stuck on the roster. One is his superb special teams play. Another is his fundamental tackling skills, which would only seem to help in his quest to stick around seeing that new defensive coordinator Ray Horton has professed his love for defensive backs who can tackle.
The Cards actually had a handful of defenders who landed on the "best" lists for tackling on pass plays. Adrian Wilson was on the best list for safeties (although third safety Rashad Johnson was on the "worst" side) while Paris Lenon tied for the best percentage (54) among linebackers and Daryl Washington also ended up on the best linebackers list.

Bay Springs, Miss.
A Colorado woman has been indicted in the November 2012 shooting death of a Jasper County man.
Sheriff's Deputy Thad Windham told The Chronicle that Nancy Faye Yacobucci, also known as Nancy Faye Reaume, is charged with murder and grand larceny.
Windham says Reaume, of Fort Collins, Colo., is charged in connection with the death of 68-year-old Joseph "J. L." Tatum. She is being held in the county jail.
He says she had fled the scene when officers arrived and was later arrested in Bonham, Texas, and returned to Mississippi.
Windham says Tatum's body was found Nov. 11, 2012, in his camper trailer in a rural area of Jasper County southwest of Stringer. He died of a gunshot wound to the chest.

Ratcheting back the federal role in education
New companion bills introduced in the House and the Senate yesterday suggest that a good way for children to get an education is to let teachers teach. The GOP bills give state governments, parents, and teachers the responsibility for educating their students.
The current system uses standardized tests to evaluate school performance and requires schools to produce better test scores each year. The bills, if passed, would give states the freedom to develop their own education plans, without requiring final approval from the education secretary. States would also be responsible for setting their own education standards, rather than following federal testing requirements.
Critics say this will take the U.S. back to the system in place before President George W. Bush and Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy crafted No Child Left Behind (NCLB). Launched in 2001, NCLB tried to improve schools by testing students regularly and tying funding to the test results. The Education Department continues to rework the requirements but the structure remains the same. Critics worry the GOP bill will reduce accountability and lead to poorer teaching.
Rep. John Kline (R-Minn.) rejected that criticism: "You're assuming a state doesn't care."
Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, top Republican on the Senate Education Committee, said, "The U.S. secretary of education and Department of Education should create an environment in which the parents, the teachers and the governors can succeed, rather than have a national school board that has to approve standards and tests and the quality of teachers in 100,000 different public schools."

You're at: Home > Inside Weta > News > Meet the Crew: Emily-Jane Sturrock - Queen of Chainmaille
These days Matt Appleton, Weta's Costume supervisor and his team have developed techniques to cut maille to size from sheets, but back then, we usually needed to shape it for each garment. It's a bit like knitting patterns.
The original chainmaille we used on The Lord of the Rings looked great on camera, but we have learnt an awful lot since then and our new chainmaille is a lot finer, a lot stronger, more flexible and easier to work with and it takes a lot to get the rings to break apart once they are fastened.
So, while I got to learn the hard way about chainmaille, you also need to talk to Matt Appleton about how chainmaille has developed since those early days."
Magnus: "Thank you, Emily - I will do just that. Just one last question, so 5,000 rings a day, 6 days a week for 8 weeks... that's how many rings?"
Emily: "I really don't want to know..."
Magnus: "Well, if my calculations are correct - which they probably aren't - that's in the region of a quarter of a million rings. Impressive."
I have been talking chainmaille with Emily. These days she's the Make-Up and Hair Department co-ordinator, but I knew she was one of the pioneers in the chainmaille department and spent a long time putting an unfathomable amount of rings together for the costumes for The Lord of the Rings.
Magnus (interviewer): "Emily - please tell us about the early days of chainmaille manufacture at Weta."
Emily: "Well, there were four of us initially. One who was an absolute fanatic about armour detailing, one guy who did re-enactment work and had made chainmaille from coat hangers that he cut and shaped into rings. And a fourth guy who was taught from scratch.
It was a bit like being at a very bad dinner party - there were the four of us around a table together for 10 hours in a stretch having conversations, food was put in front of us and we were eating and making chainmaille.
After the first three weeks or so, we actually started having the same conversations over and over again. Identical conversations - it was groundhog day.
We were using alkathene piping that had been cut by a machine into rings of a very specific width and then a slit was cut so that they'd open. We'd then be opening them by hand and closing them around another and another into a traditional pattern.
We found out the hard way that this was quite a painful method and we had very soon just about worn out our fingerprints. Having been cut by a machine, the rings had burr on them and your fingers took a bad beating. You had to have your fingernails really short because of the pressure you constantly exerted on them. And after opening 5,000 rings in a day you'd be slowly ripping your nails from the skin underneath them... which is excruciating as we found out. I say 5,000, I think the boys managed to get up to 7-10,000. I really don't know how.
We tried all sorts of things to protect our fingers, like different tapes and gloves, etc and found that the only thing that actually worked and was thin enough to still allow us to feel through it was The Simpsons sticky plasters for kids. Others worked too, like Batman ad Tinkerbell, but we went through a LOT of Simpsons plasters.
This was of course generation 1 of Weta chainmaille and we've come a long way since this. We're about four generations down the line now.
I mainly did sheets. Some of the guys started doing different patterns, but my brain just didn't want to go there.
