Daddy gets an early morning treat on the Fourth of July…
"Can I make it hard?" Her voice startled me but I wasn't surprised. My step daughter's friends were all polite, well mannered girls, but Trish was special. "Sorry, did I wake you?" "No, I've been up for a while. I knew when I smelled the coffee, you were up." She paused, and then asked again. "Can I make it hard?" she whimpered through her pouty lips. "Daddy, can I suck your cock?" ...Read On

Someone was knocking hard on the hotel door. "Miss Taylor!" Loud knock. "Mrs. Lee!" Loud knock. "Miss Taylor!" Rushing to the door, I barely got my robe tied. I completely neglected to put the chain on first. My big city skills aren't so good. As soon as the door was open a foot, Chad pushed past me. "Sorry, Miss Taylor! Gotta whizz!" The door to the room sighed and latched shut....Read On

ASUS Reports Disappointing VivoTab RT Sales, Stops Making RT Tabletsby Jarred Walton on August 9, 2013 4:39 PM EST
- Posted in
- Tablets
- Asus
- Mobile
- Windows RT
- Vivo Tab
In a move that's likely to surprise…well, just about no one, the Wall Street Journal reports that ASUS will cease making Windows RT tablets. Windows RT is basically stuck in limbo between full Windows 8 (and 8.1) laptops and hybrid devices on the high-end and Android tablets on the low-end, and the market appears to be giving a clear thumbs down to the platform. Many critics have also noted the lack of compelling applications to compete with Android and iOS platforms, which is something we noted in our review of the VivoTab RT last year.
This morning, ASUS Chief Executive Jerry Shen stated, "It's not only our opinion, the industry sentiment is also that Windows RT has not been successful." Citing weak sales and the need to take a write-down on its Windows RT tablets in the second quarter, ASUS will be focusing its energies on more productive devices. Specifically, Shen goes on to state that ASUS will only make Windows 8 devices using with Intel processors, thanks to the backwards compatibility that provides—and something Windows RT lacks.
It looks like many feel towards Windows RT similar to how they feel towards Windows Phone 8. As Vivek put it in our recent Nokia Lumia 521 review, "Microsoft cannot expect to gain back market share after this many years unless they're willing to aggressively ramp their development cycle the way Google did with Android a few years ago—something they have thus far shown no indications of doing. They just haven't iterated quickly enough, and I can't think of a single time when I picked up a Windows Phone and thought it was feature competitive with Android and iOS. It's not even because I use Google services; there are just a number of things that are legitimately missing from the platform."
The situation with ASUS ditching Windows RT (at least for the near future) reminds me of what we saw with the netbook space several years ago. ASUS had some great initial success with the first Eee PC, and then just about every manufacturer came out with a similar netbook…and most of them failed. Couple that with a stagnating platform (Atom still isn't much faster now than it was when it first appeared, though the next Silvermont version will likely address this), and most of the netbook manufacturers have moved on to greener pastures. Specifically, we're talking about Android tablets, and while most companies didn't stop making Android products to try out Windows RT devices, we will likely see fewer next-gen Windows RT devices and more next-gen Android tablets in the next year or two. With Haswell showing potential to compete head-to-head with tablets for battery life, more lucrative Haswell-based tablets running full copies of Windows 8.1 look far more promising than RT.
Of course, long-term the story for Windows RT is far from over. Microsoft needs Windows RT or they are locked out of a huge market. They can't expect to compete with $300-$400 tablets that use ARM processors ($10-$35 per SoC, give or take) and run an OS that's basically free with tablets that need Core i3 or faster chips ($100+) and a full copy of Windows 8.1. Right now they're losing this battle, with fewer quality applications and far fewer hardware options. ASUS might not be carrying the flag for Windows RT, but if no one else will then Microsoft will have to carry the torch on their own. The next Windows Surfact RT will try to do just that, whenever it turns up, and certainly Silvermont will help provide a better x86 alternative to the current Atom processors.

MonkeyPaw - Saturday, August 10, 2013 - linkVivo RT came with Office 2013. It was largely the same guts as Surface, but different shells and keyboards. Reply
JarredWalton - Sunday, August 11, 2013 - linkI've read the rumors that ASUS is going to make the Nexus 10, but unless you have an official confirmation they're just that: rumors. We'll have to wait and see, but if they do make the Nexus 10 it's certainly a sign of where ASUS thinks things are heading. Nexus 10 couldn't possibly be less of a success than the VivoTab at least.... Reply
jwcalla - Saturday, August 10, 2013 - linkLet's also not forget that the overarching strategy for Microsoft here is to get people out of the freedom of the desktop and into their app store. They recognize that app stores are the cash cow that they need to get a piece of and that's why they followed the Apple model (locked down walled garden, etc.). We see this clearly in the design of Windows 8, even the desktop version which placed an emphasis on the Modern UI, a kind of synonym for "get your stuff from our app store". Clearly they can't cut off the desktop cold turkey, but they would love to if they could. In that sense, RT isn't necessarily irrelevant as it's their ideal goal (all apps come from the app store only). Reply
name99 - Saturday, August 10, 2013 - link"Of course, long-term the story for Windows RT is far from over. Microsoft needs Windows RT or they are locked out of a huge market. "
This is not true. MS COULD try to save the situation by moving Win Phone 8 up, rather than trying to move Win 8 down. Of course this would mean admitting that Apple had the right idea all along, which will be a bitter pill for MS to swallow internally, but easy enough to spin externally: "Customers have told us they love Win Phone 8 so much they would like to experience it on a larger screen..."
Doing this also helps Win8 by increasing the pool of target devices for developers.
Of course this IS Microsoft we're talking about, so rather than move forward on a plan like this, with results due this year, we'll get a year of internal fighting over it, then a year of dithering after the decision has been made, and by the time anything ships the world will have moved on and no-one will care anyway. Reply
Impulses - Saturday, August 10, 2013 - linkEven tho we may disagree on the value of Surface Pro and whether RT should've happened, I can completely agree with that. They need to make a decision on RT quickly and not drag it out... x86 convertibles could still carve out a market after Silvermount, and there'll always be space at the high end for something like Pro even if it's a niche... But both of those as well as their WP strategy depends on attracting developers, and RT muddles matters a lot.
If they can absorb a blow like Vista surely they can shuffle RT away in a somewhat timely manner... WP8 tablets don't even need to happen overnight, just don't keeppromoting RT and alienating more customers. Reply
kyuu - Saturday, August 10, 2013 - linkWhat the hell is the difference between an upscaled Windows Phone and Windows RT? The Win8 start screen basically *is* Windows Phone upscaled. You just also get the benefit of inheriting things from desktop Windows like proper multitasking, a file browser, a device manager, support for lots of USB peripherals and USB thumb drives and so on. The price is a little bloat on the size the OS. Big whoop, especially with USB thumb drive support, microSD, and the progress of storage technology in general.
We didn't need or want another feature-crippled, upsized smartphone OS. iOS and Android have that covered. Reply
name99 - Saturday, August 10, 2013 - link"The price is a little bloat on the size the OS. Big whoop, especially with USB thumb drive support, microSD, and the progress of storage technology in general."
You (and the five people who actually bought a Surface RT tablet) might consider that "price" a reasonable tradeoff. The rest of the world does not.
This is the thing about selling products --- you have to design them based on what the BUYERS consider important, not what YOU consider important. Reply
domboy - Monday, August 12, 2013 - link"You (and the five people who actually bought a Surface RT tablet) might consider that "price" a reasonable tradeoff. The rest of the world does not."
I guess I'm one of those five people, sort of. I also don't want Windows convertible tablets to run a mobile OS... I bought a Surface RT because it was very much like a full desktop OS... though I will admit I wouldn't have if it weren't for the jailbreak. I want to make use of the desktop on RT as well. I would never have given it any consideration if it had been running Windows Phone OS.
While it is sad that Asus is canceling this product... I don't like where Microsoft is going with Windows RT... i.e. a locked down modern UI only OS. I had hoped that they would open it up more, but it isn't looking good with the 8.1 RT preview. So far that reason, I think Asus is headed in the right direction. Reply
Impulses - Monday, August 12, 2013 - linkWhat's the desktop useful for beyond Office tho? Everything else kyuu mentioned is doable on a mobile OS, they don't need full blown Windows on ARM for that... Android already has file managers, USB storage/device support, etc. Multi-tasking on RT is nice but I don't see why that too couldn't work on WP (there's OEM/user takes in the concept on Android...). Blowing away a few GB on the OS is a pretty high price IMO, and RT was headed in that locked seen direction from the start. Reply
steven75 - Monday, August 12, 2013 - linkThe things you keep mentioning simply aren't important to consumers in 2013. Reply

Capvex wine tasting in the Baltic's
Special price for
New Tokaj winery
Hungary and it's wines.
Many people seem to have an opinion but just very few are familiar with the real potential of high quality Hungarian wines. Hungarian wines are one of the possible new highlights on the international markets. The unique climate, the combination of traditional and modern technologies result in wonderful wines still mainly unknown outside the country. Capvex was founded early 2003. As far as we know, Capvex is the only independent wine export company in Hungary.
Our mission is to get the hidden highlights of Hungarian wines better known worldwide.
Having the necessary local knowledge and being independent guaranties that every year the best possible selection is offered to our clients. Through constant quality control in the vineyards and cellars we insure that the Capvex name sets a standard.
Having the right wine for the clients is one thing, combining this with all the necessary services attached to our export activity makes it perfect. Transportation, custom issues, administrative duties are also part of the package.
But even more important: Information. We supply informative material with the wines about the wine-maker, the vineyards, the region and the year the wine was born. There is an interesting and unique story behind each wine, and we believe this story should be told. A glass of wine is also about getting involved in the people's every days.
Co-organised events on the local markets are part of our strategy. Possibilities to meet the winemaker's introduce new products; do blind tasting, get feedback.
Our clients enjoy regular newsflashes regarding the vintage, next year's newcomers, winemakers joining Capvex and other events. This helps to plan and built strategies which is a must in today's successful business.
No question, Capvex selected wines are a unique spot on the international wine market, the question is more like, is your company going to be a member of this successful enterprise?

BELLEAIR BEACH The city of Belleair Beachs ongoing battle with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection over rules on public parking spaces needed to qualify for beach renourishment has taken a positive turn.
After agreeing and then refusing to change the parking rules affecting renourishment eligibility, FDEP is now saying bike racks can be included and counted as parking spaces.
That is good news, City Manager Nancy Gonzalez said at the Aug. 5 council meeting, as the city has room to put bike racks at its four beach accesses as well as Morgan Park. Also, more vehicle parking spaces can be added by reconfiguring Morgan Park, she said. The city is about 30 spaces short in the vicinity of Morgan Park.
Space can be acquired to create diagonal parking places by pushing back the pavilion and restrooms, relocating palm trees and extending the front part of the park out to the road right of way, she said.
Community Services Director Allen Godfrey assured residents the city will not just plunk down bike racks wherever we can but would work to make the installations esthetically pleasing.
Were going to do a little landscaping to help hide the bike racks and help blend them with the surroundings, he said.
The additional parking spaces and bike racks would still leave the city about 10 to 11 spaces short of the required number, Gonzalez estimated. However, Godfrey said in a comment following the meeting that he believed enough space can be created to get us there and meet the requirements.
Following Gonzalezs and Godfreys comments, Mayor Rob Baldwin said the bike rack eligibility and creation of additional parking at Morgan Park offers the city another option to consider along with seeking a variance from the rules. To get a variance, the city must prove meeting the parking space requirements would create a hardship unique to the city. That argument has been unsuccessful so far.
Another option the county has proposed and actually threatened to do would involve reconfiguring Gulf Boulevard to create parallel parking spaces. That plan has been strongly opposed by the council and city residents.
Adding bus stops in the city would also provide credit toward gaining the needed parking spaces. That is currently impossible as Belleair Beach is not a member of the PSTA county bus system. A referendum next January will give residents the option of becoming a part of PSTA. Joining the bus system would involve a significant charge per family and would be an expensive route to take, Baldwin said.
The FDEP must formally approve the bike rack eligibility before any work can be done on the project, Godfrey stressed.
Hurricane preparedness steps taken
The council took several steps to assure the city is ready to deal with the aftermath of a major storm. A contractor and backup were selected to clean up debris left by a hurricane. That contract was awarded to AshBritt Inc. of Deerfield Beach and the backup to DRC Emergency Service.
The city had previously been able to piggyback on county contracts or contract with other municipalities, but a FEMA rule change now requires each municipality to have a separate agreement, Godfrey said.
Contract prices are based upon the size of the city, and Godfrey said Belleair Beach is a very small municipality, so we got the best price.
Godfrey also said FEMA picks up 100 percent of the costs of debris removal during the first 72 hours following a hurricane.
In other hurricane preparedness moves, the city entered into a memo of understanding with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to provide a first push that can get equipment in a lot faster, Godfrey said.
This gives us the ability to be very responsive to the residents, he said.
An emergency management manual of over 200 pages was presented for the council to review. The very detailed plan includes topics such as evacuation orders, duties of city officials during an emergency event, relocation of city hall operations, and estimating storm damage, Godfrey said.
We went through over 300 pages of FEMA requirements to create this, he said.
Evacuation of people who need assistance such as senior citizens living alone or others with special needs is handled by the fire department, Godfrey said.

Syracuse, N.Y. — A 12-year-old boy was charged with a robbery that happened Thursday afternoon outside the Le Moyne College Bookstore and Cam's Pizzeria, Syracuse police said.
Three other boys, ages 10 and 11, were turned over to their parents or guardians, said Sgt. Tom Connellan.
The boy charged Thursday was one of several juvenile suspects arrested earlier in the week after burglaries at 110 Fenway Ave., East Fayette Street and Dakin Street, Connellan said.
Connellan provided these details about Thursday's robbery:
At about 2:30 p.m., the four boys approached a 19-year-old female Le Moyne College student as she was leaving the pizza shop, at 1135 Salt Springs Road. The juveniles surrounded the victim and the 12-year-old demanded her purse.
When the woman refused to give up her purse, the 12-year-old pulled a gun, threatened her and stole her purse.
Syracuse police officers converged on the area and caught all four boys. Police also recovered the victim's purse and a pellet gun used in the robbery.
After an investigation, police decided to charge only the one boy. He was charged with first-degree robbery and was taken to the Hillbrook Juvenile Detention Center. He is scheduled to appear in Family Court.

GROSSINGERS (May. 11)
More than 1,200 representatives from trade unions and labor fraternal organizations attending the 70th Jubilee convention of the Workmen's Circle this weekend paid tribute to Walter Reuther, president of the United automobile Workers Union and Mrs. Walter Reuther who were killed Saturday night In a plane crash in Michigan. Mr. Reuther, one of America's most prominent labor leaders, was a member of the Workmen's Circle and a long-standing friend of the State of Israel, In one of his last public actions, the president of the almost two million-member union helped draft a resolution that was adopted by the 22nd convention of the UAW in Atlantic City last month which urged the Big Four to "use their separate and combined influence to bring all parties to the Middle East conflict to the conference table to settle the political issues." Mr. Reuther viewed Israel as an "oasis in a troubled and turbulent area of the world."
The delegates to the convention adopted unanimously a resolution appealing to the government of the Soviet Union to stop its anti-Jewish campaign, to grant Soviet Jews the same religious and cultural rights other national minorities enjoy and to grant Jews the right to emigrate if they so desire. The resolution, which was sent to Secretary of State William P. Rogers and United Nations Secretary General U Thant, also appealed "to men of good will everywhere, to the United Nations, and to the American government to speak out against these violations by the USSR of the UN Covenant on Human Rights." The convention also adopted a resolution supporting Israel and Its diplomatic efforts to secure peace in the Middle East.
William Stern, administration director of the Workmen's Circle, called for the creation of a permanent independent Jewish cultural organization as a link between Jewish communities all over the world, "especially in the face of the threats to Jews behind the Iron Curtain and in Arab countries." The convention called on the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies and similar groups throughout the country to place their priorities and funds at the disposal of Jewish cultural efforts to head off "the forces of assimilation alienating large segments of our youth from its Jewish roots and which endangers the heal they creative life of American Jewry." Israel Breslow, a vice-president of the ILGWU and outgoing president of the Workmen's Circle disclosed here that a file of names of 11 former Nazi officials holding important posts in the regime of President Nasser of Egypt would soon be handed over to the United Nations Human Rights Commission. He cited the list as evidence that there had been "a renaissance of the Hitler-Soviet pact in the Middle East," The list had previously been assembled and reported by the Labor Friends of Israel in London, Bernard Backer, 51, of New York, was elected as the new president of the Workmen's Circle, succeeding Mr. Breslow. Mr. Backer serves on the Board of Directors of the United HIAS Service and the National Administration Committee of the Jewish Labor Committee.

Clausen earning praise in Panthers' camp
Published: May 2nd, 2010 | Tags: Carolina Panthers, Jake Delhomme, Jimmy Clausen, John Fox, Steve Smith
This has been an interesting beginning to Jimmy Clausen's NFL career. The former Notre Dame star tumbled in the draft before being selected in the second round (48th overall) by the Panthers, then he had to serve as an Cactus Cooler mule for WR Steve Smith.
And now this: Clausen is being compared to former Panthers QB Jake Delhomme. Hey, you can send the kid to the grocery store to buy soda, but comparing him to a quarterback who threw 23 interceptions in his last 12 games (though it seemed like 50) seems a bit harsh.
Turns out that coach John Fox was comparing Clausen's passion to that of Delhomme (via the Charlotte Observer).
"I think that's how you have to play," Clausen said. "It's an emotional game. Guys are trying to rip your head off every time you have the ball in your hand, so you can't be passive. You've got to attack, just like they're attacking you.
"It's a great game and I love the passion about it. … I want to win every single play. I love it when we have big runs and guys make great blocks or a great catch on the field. That's what I get excited about."
Clausen has earned high praise both on and off the field in Carolina. Clausen reached out to his teammates, both rookies and veterans alike, after being drafted, leaving a good impression. And, hey, bringing a 12-pack of Cactus Cooler for the team's top receiver isn't a bad way to start, either.

Corruption in India is one of the major problems crippling the growth of our country and even though movements like Anna Hazare's brought forth the issue, there has been little movement on the ground.
The 'aam aadmi' has now started a silent revolution is in making India to fight against corruption with 'Zero Rupee Notes'.
An NGO called 5th Pillar distributed the notes in railway stations, bus stations, schools, colleges and market places to raise awareness about bribery and reminding the public of their rights and alternative solutions that are otherwise available.
The non-profit organization had obtained more than 5 lakh signatures from citizens as a mark of endorsement to their Zero corruption pledge that "I will neither receive nor give bribe" which is printed on the bottom of the front side of the Zero Rupee Note.
"Number of factors contributes to the success of the Zero Rupee Notes in fighting corruption in India includes, 'bribery is a crime in India punishable with suspension and jail time'.
Vijaya Anand said that, corrupt officials seldom encounter resistance by ordinary people that they become scared when people have the courage to show their Zero Rupee Notes, effectively making a strong statement condemning bribery."
Till now, over 3 million such notes have been printed and distributed, and the movement is only getting stronger.
You can get your own Zero Rupee Notes printed from the website www.5thpillar.org.

hey all,
i'm online shopping right now looking for a good cake decorating turntable and i cant decide...any input? i want a heavy duty one that spins very smoothly...
I have the Wilton Tilt-N-Turn Ultra Turntable (the new model retails for $80--I used a 50% off Michaels coupon) and I love it for the times that I need to tilt a cake to decorate.
What I use most is a large lazy susan--mine is 18" across--that cost me about $10. It turns very smoothly on it's ball bearing, it's heavy, and suits my needs well.
I had a "professional" Ateco turntable for about 10 mins.--no ball bearings, the top didn't lock to the base, and it wobbled. It was returned summarily.
i have the heavy Ateco (~$65) that has a pin on the bottom of the plate that fits into the base. It turns well, but when you put weight on it it doesn't keep spinning well. I wasn't happy with that. I just got the Fat Daddios table with ball bearings that will keep moving a lot longer with minimal prompting. While I haven't had a huge amount of weight on it, I am really happy with it so far. I'd give it a

How Castle designed The Nearby
The Nearby is a mobile commerce platform for local boutiques. This is the story of its design.
1 Naming
When we started the project, the founders had not yet picked a name for the product. It was "an app for shops".
In the early stages of development, when we started referring to the project as "Shopbook", it was clear that the real name was needed soon.
We worked with founders of the product to identify several candidate names. From a list of over 50 possible names, everyone liked "The Nearby" the best. We then negotiated the purchase of the domain and all its social media accounts, and the name was official.
"The Nearby" seems to be the top choice for name
I connected with the owners of the domain. Seems we can get it if we want it
2 Logo
Anton and Daniel set out to create the logotype.
There were many directions and ideas on the table. The goal of the logo was to convey the fashion, style and quality of the boutiques represented in the app.
Next, a struggle ensued over the "the".
The early logo drafts needed more uniqueness. So we started adding visual interest to the "the" in the name. Anna, our UI designer had included cursive script in one of the screen design labels. So we decided to make this cursive-style script part of the brand.
Let's try to use the cursive script for both the brand
and the UI
Meanwhile, design of the user interface was well underway.
UX designers, Alex and Yaroslav were working to make the application design as simple as possible for the MVP release.
The most iterated screen was the item detail page.
Here the user must be able to find out details about a product, get in touch with a shop, find out where it is located, chat with its manager, view other customers' comments and simply Like it.
In parallel to the iOS application, Alex and Yaroslav designed the UX for the web-based shop admin dashboard.
Here we wanted to easily encourage in-app
e-commerce through
chat messages
With most users accessing the product through the mobile app, our web features only need
to cover certain cases
4 Design
Anna, the UI designer on the project, began working on the look and feel of the iOS application.
Initially, Anna presented a version with red elements. Although it wasn't accepted, it helped us get a better idea of the direction we wanted to take, which was more fashion-driven black, gray and white.
With a solid look and feel established, we applied the design to the web user interface.
The next stage was the
website design.
Funny thing, but while we were working on the website design, iPhone 5 came out and we had to replace the outdated 4S in all the mockups.
I'm not liking the red
I really like black parts. Just black and white UI and colorful images of the items!
5 App Icon
While Anna was working on the app's design, we asked our illustrator, Eugenia, and our technical designer, Alexey, to make the app icon.
Of course, we started out with hand-made sketches. And like always, we had several directions.
The catchiest and most interesting idea seemed to be the shop front. We wanted to convey the atmosphere of a small French shop, the image that the service's target audience would connect to the most.
We liked the design of a high-end Paris boutique, but when we tested the draft icon, many of its details were challenging to discern when viewed on a device. So we simplified the physical boutique concept into a flat, less complex design.
Therefore the final
version was this:
This idea is to illustrate the different types of shop products as part of the logo
Let's try different styles of store-fronts, from small Paris shop to fancy Paris boutique
We like this one, but it's difficult to see all the details when it's small on the device. I'm going to try to simplify in a flatter design
Final Result
A happy client, a rapidly growing community of shops and shoppers, and great product feature engagement.
Castle continues to design and develop new features for The Nearby team as the business grows.

Two adults, 1-year-old girl injured in Hwy 18 crash
OTIS, Ore. - A Portland woman and her one-year-old daughter were injured when a van crashed into their car on Highway 18 Wednesday afternoon.
State police said the crash occurred about 14 miles east of Otis in Polk County just after 4 p.m.
Joshua Lesmeister of Tenino, Wash. was driving a van eastbound on the highway when it crossed into the westbound lane and crashed into a Honda Civic.
It's unclear what caused the crash.
Lesmeister was flown by Reach air ambulance to OHSU in Portland. Police expect him to survive.
Police said the driver of the Civic, Megan K. Goss of Portland, was taken to a Salem hospital. Her 18-month-old daughter was taken by LifeFlight to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in Portland.
Police expect both Goss and her daughter to survive. Both adults were wearing seat belts and Goss' daughter was in a child safety seat during the crash, police said.
Lesmeister's van was registered to a Seattle electric company.

On Sunday, April 15, Gamma Sigma Sigma will host its Second Annual Jell-O Dive from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. in front of The H.I.L.L.
You're probably wondering, "What is a Jell-O dive?" Simple. For $2, donors slide on a 3-track Slip 'n' Slide, which leads into a giant tarp, both of which are covered in Jell-O. All proceeds go to charity. Last year, Gamma Sigma Sigma raised money for the National Kidney Foundation. This year, proceeds will be donated to Alex's Lemonade Stand, which is one of Gamma Sigma Sigma's national partners.
Alex's Lemonade Stand is a charity foundation that raises money to fight pediatric cancer. Alex Scott, the inspiration behind the foundation, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer just a few months after she was born. In 2000, at the age of four, she decided to open a lemonade stand to raise money to help find a cure for pediatric cancer, and her small business quickly turned into a national movement. In 2004, Alex lost her battle with cancer, but her efforts to find a cure continue on. To date, Alex's Lemonade Stand has raised more than $50 million.
Gamma Sigma Sigma is a national service sorority. The Epsilon Xi chapter here at Moravian does a lot of service projects, volunteer work and fundraisers throughout the school year, but the Jell-O Dive has become their big campus-wide service project. This year, Gamma Sigma Sigma is teaming up with Delta Tau Delta and they are hoping the Jell-O Dive will be even bigger and better as a result. The event will include food and music.
"It's going to be a lot of fun!" Gamma Sigma Sigma social chair and event coordinator Maggie Callahan '14 says. "So, be sure to put on some clothes you can get messy in and get down to south campus!"

Failing upwards—the ultimate white privilege.

For people like me, failure is not being able to raise $100,000, and then when I go to angel investors seeking funding, they ask me if I've raised any money. It's like I've already failed because of the color of my skin and not having my own networks to provide resources.↩ The New York Times

Top-level hiring decisions favor those who've been tested, even if their performance was crap
People associate failing upwards with public-facing jobs (athlete, CEO, movie star). This is less due to their actual job performance—though that obviously is an aspect—than the skittishness of those who hire them around taking any kind of risk on someone untested (even if they'd likely be better than someone who's mediocre but comes with experience).
This explanation, obviously, implicitly favors the white, the male, the straight, the wealthy.

Women's Soccer Beats Pacific on Late Goal by Holtz
Pepperdine has its final regular-season home game and senior day ceremonies on Sunday.
Oct. 25, 2013
MALIBU, Calif. - Ally Holtz's goal in the 86th minute delivered a 2-1 victory to the injury-plagued Pepperdine women's soccer team over visiting Pacific in a West Coast Conference contest on Friday afternoon.
Pepperdine redshirt freshman Rylee Baisden (Yorba Linda, Calif./Esperanza HS) opened the scoring in the 50th minute, but despite playing a woman down, Pacific equalized in the 55th minute on a strike by Brittni Beeman. Holtz (Honolulu, Hawaii/Punahou School) got her second game-winner of the season late, however, when she was first to a rebound and had a great look at an open net.
The Waves improved to 8-5-2 overall and 3-2 in the WCC and kept their NCAA Tournament hopes in good shape. The Tigers dropped to 2-10-3, 1-3-1.
"It doesn't matter how you win, every win in the WCC is a great win, as far as I'm concerned," Pepperdine Coach Tim Ward said. "I'm super pleased for Rylee, getting her first goal, and it was a great one. Ally Holtz has had some really good games without scoring a goal so I'm proud of her for the match-winner."
It was an eventful first half, though it ended scoreless. The Waves earned a penalty kick in the 32nd minute when a bad backpass allowed Pepperdine junior forward Lynn Williams (Fresno, Calif./Bullard HS) to go into a one-on-one with Pacific goalkeeper Tashia Long. Long's only play was to take down Williams, and she was issued a red card.
Without any time to warm up, Pacific freshman Lena Perry jumped into goal to face a penalty-kick attempt by Pepperdine freshman Kristin Rodriguez (Inglewood, Calif./Notre Dame Academy). Perry guessed correctly and stopped Rodriguez' shot.
In the waning seconds of the first half, another Williams vs. goalkeeper battle didn't go so well for the Waves. Williams went after a through ball in the box, but Perry got there first. Williams tried to leap over Perry but got a piece of her and went down to the ground awkwardly. Williams, the WCC's leading scorer with 11 goals and an All-American candidate, did not return to the game in the second half.
Without their top offensive threat but playing with a woman advantage, the Waves still kept the pressure up and eventually got the go-ahead goal in the 50th minute. Freshman Colby Carson (Morgan Hill, Calif./Valley Christian HS) brought the ball up the left side and crossed it in. The ball took one bounce in front of the onrushing Baisden, who nailed it into the back of the net with a point-blank shot from in front of the net. Baisden's first career goal put Pepperdine ahead 1-0.
Pacific got a stunning equalizer in the 55th minute, however. Beeman was given some space in the middle of the field from about 30 yards out, and she took a hard, perfectly placed shot that bounced and made its way just inside the right post for her third goal of the season.
Pepperdine regrouped, however, and got the game-winner late. Senior Michelle Pao (Cupertino, Calif./Monta Vista HS) got into the box and dribbled in close on the right size, but had her shot attempt blocked by Pacific's Perry. The ball popped up and back to Holtz, who immediately one-timed it in from about 15 yards away. It was Holtz' third goal of the season.
"We haven't played a game all year when we've been a player up," Ward said. "There are some tactical nuances, and you when you have the numerical superiority you have to capitalize on that. We got a goal, and we were fine for a few minutes, but then we conceded and that threw the team into a little bit of chaos. We waited until about 12 minutes, put some upperclassmen back in, and that was the difference. We'll take the win."
Pepperdine, despite missing a few key players due to injury and with a few others hobbled or limited, finished with advantages of 17-10 in shots, 10-5 in shots on goal and 3-0 in corner kicks.
The Waves have their final regular-season home match this Sunday (Oct. 27) against Saint Mary's at 1 p.m. Fans can watch the game for free at PepperdineSports.com via WaveCasts. Before the game, the Waves will honor their five seniors: Pao, Carolyn Dapper, Kristin DeGrandmont, Katie Gallanes and Katie Rivers.
Goals: Rylee Baisden (Colby Carson), PEPP, 49:57; Brittni Beeman (Alex Hussar), PAC, 54:55; Ally Holtz (Michelle Pao), PEPP, 85:23.

In Reply to: "Sour Grapes" posted by R. Berg on November 06, 2002
: : After reading "Money", the origin of "Sour Grapes" came to mind.
: Try the Meanings and Origins section of this site for that one.
I've just checked the Meaning and Origins. I've always puzzled why grapes should be 'sour'. Perhaps the grapes were unripe, but why try to steal them in that case? My reading suggests that the fox actually said about the grapes 'they're sour as CRABS anyway'. This is equally curious. Any suggestions?

WASHINGTON, D.C., Jan. 30, 2012 — The American Bar Association Section of Antitrust Law will host its premier International Cartel Workshop at the Fairmont Hotel in Vancouver, British Columbia, Feb 1-3. The workshop is co-sponsored by the International Bar Association.
Following tradition, this year's workshop includes demonstrations of hypothetical international cartel cases and features experts from around the globe examining all aspects of a cartel case. The workshop features some 75 highly experienced attorneys, senior cartel enforcement officials from 11 enforcement jurisdictions, and more than 40 cartel defense practitioners from 12 countries, and members of the plaintiffs bar from the United States, Canada and Europe.
Antitrust experts and lead cartel enforcers from Australia, Brazil, Canada, the European Union, Japan, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United
States will participate in sessions that describe cartel case scenarios, new developments in the law and leniency practices around the world. Highlights include:
"The Decision to Self-Report and Seek Leniency in Multiple Jurisdictions" – Defense practitioners role play the case of a company's board considering whether to self-report and seek enforcement leniency. Practitioners will address issues relating to the number of jurisdictions in which the company has exposure and may seek leniency: what are the costs, benefits and risks in applying in multiple jurisdictions? In which jurisdictions should they self-report and in what order?
Feb. 1, 1:00 p.m.
"The Company Seeks Markers in the United States, Korea and Australia" – This session explores three scenarios of a company seeking a marker for leniency protection and negotiating the terms for perfecting its leniency application with the United States Department of Justice Antitrust Division, the Korea Fair Trade Commission, and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
Feb. 1, 3:00 p.m.
"Beginning the Cartel Investigation: Eight Jurisdictions Devise Their Strategy" – In this hypothetical international cartel case, lead cartel enforcers from Australia, Brazil, Canada, the European Union, Japan, Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States plan their strategy to begin a cartel investigation.
Feb. 1, 4:15 p.m.
"Search Warrants and Dawn Raids in Various Jurisdictions" – Senior enforcement officials and leading private practitioners discuss the following hypothetical cases: an FBI search and drop-in interviews in the United States; dawn raids in the European Union; dawn raids and interrogations in Japan; and raids/inspections in Brazil.
Feb. 2, 8:45 a.m.
"Negotiating a Disposition – US, EU and Canada" – Private practitioners and lead enforcers demonstrate negotiating a plea agreement in the United States, discussing a settlement in the European Union and negotiating a disposition in Canada.
Feb. 3, 10:45 a.m.
"A Concluding Roundtable: The 10 Toughest Issues in International Cartel Enforcement" –Panelists from Australia, Brazil, Canada, the European Union and the United States discuss the top issues in international cartel enforcement.
Feb. 3, 4:15 p.m.
Luncheon programs on Feb. 2 and 3 feature two roundtables: A Roundtable of Head Cartel Enforcers from Emerging Jurisdictions and A Roundtable of Heads of Enforcement Agencies, respectively, discussing the most recent developments and hottest issues in international cartel representations today.
The on-site guide and a link to the full agenda can be found here.

Saga Collection '06 / Re: Bonus Mini Hologram Figures« on: January 23, 2006, 10:10 AM »
Anyone think about using these as a chess set? Think about it, stormtroopers and Rebel fleet troopers, good pawns.
Really? I had not heard that one yet...
I've seen this idea floating around the 'net, and I might just have to try it... a Mini-Holo Chess set?
Pawns = RFTs and Stormtroopers
Rook = Han and Fett
Knight = Luke and Maul
Bishop = Amidala and Dooku
Queen = Ben and Vader
King = Yoda and Palpatine
Add a bit of spray paint to color them and volia! Might give me something to do with all the extras I'm expecting by the end of the year...

What is Stormwater?
Did you know that in addition to providing quality drinking water and treating wastewater, Toronto Water also helps deal with rain water and melted snow? It may not seem as important as drinking water and wastewater treatment, but managing stormwater is essential to improving the health of our waterways and reducing basement flooding.

Cbeyond, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBEY), a leading provider of network and cloud services to small and medium sized businesses, today announced that Alexander J. Wayne & Associates recently enlisted the company to supplement its existing voice and data package with secure cloud and end-to-end private network services. The implementation will provide the insurance broker with the virtual workforce capabilities and enhanced data protection it needs to improve overall efficiency. Alexander J. Wayne & Associates provides professional liability and asset coverage not typically offered by most insurers. The Chicago-based company first partnered with Cbeyond in 2007 for a combination of voice, data, website and Microsoft Hosted Exchange services. As the company grew, it needed more bandwidth for various applications, including remote desktop capabilities to enable its employees to log additional hours from home. An IT upgrade also created an opportunity for Alexander J. Wayne & Associates to better secure its data by moving its server offsite and implementing greater disaster recovery and prevention solutions. "Our team reached the point in our operations where moving to the cloud made the most sense to provide additional data security and improve our overall productivity," said Al Wayne, founder and president of Alexander J. Wayne & Associates. "When we first started working with Cbeyond five years ago, it was the only provider who offered the combination of communications solutions we needed in one package. Now, in addition to the exceptional service and responsiveness we have enjoyed over the years, Cbeyond is again the only provider who offered the unique mix of enterprise-grade bandwidth and network security to support our needs." After expanding his company's bandwidth by adding 18 additional Mbps of Metro Ethernet connectivity, along with a physical server containing additional storage, a VPN firewall and seven-day onsite recovery service, Wayne worked with Cbeyond to transition his company's data from a physical backroom server to the cloud. As a result, all of Alexander J. Wayne & Associates' information is protected by Cbeyond's state-of-the-art data center and private network, which is SOC 2 compliant and authorized to display the SOC 3 SysTrust for Service Organization Seal following examination by independent accountants.

A man suffered a fractured skull after being attacked in a busy Keighley street by a masked armed gang.
The victim was set upon yesterday by a group of about 10 men wearing balaclavas and wielding weapons including baseball bats, crowbars and golf clubs.
The attackers had arrived at the scene, outside a commercial premises in Worth Way, in three cars.
Several shocked onlookers contacted the police as the 36-year-old local man was brutally beaten.
He was left with a broken hand as well as a skull fracture and was rushed to Leeds General Infirmary.
His injuries were today described as non-life-threatening.
The area was sealed off as police forensic teams carried out an examination of the scene.
Detectives are appealing for anyone with information about the incident - which happened just before 6pm - or the vehicles involved, to come forward.
One of the vehicles, a dark red Subaru, was found abandoned soon afterwards in a nearby street.
The other two, a dark green or blue Lexus and a green Toyota, are both still being sought.
Detective Inspector Stuart Lyons, of Bradford District CID, said: "This happened at a busy time of day beside a main road and we received a number of calls from members of the public, who were understandably distressed at what they saw.
"Although the motive for the attack is unclear it does appear to be a targeted assault.
"We have stepped up visible policing in that area to provide reassurance.
"We are keen to hear from anybody who has information relating to the incident or about the two vehicles that are still untraced."
Anyone able to help should phone the police on 101, and ask for DC 6316 Tom Pearman in Bradford District CID, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

"Morning, don't forget guitar and dance tonight," she reminded me like always.
""Yeah mom I know," it's about six thirty and my identical twin brother is coming down. His name is Logan.
"Morning sis," he said and grabbed his breakfast. We don't fight like most siblings do. He is in his private school uniform, we both go to the same school.
"Morning," I put my bowl in the dishwasher \\
"I like what you did with your hair today."
"Oh, thanks," Ihave my chest length brown hair curled and my side bangs in a bump. Ihave hazel eyes. Istand at five food three. At school I'm popular. but I'm not a preppy snot.

After my dance class I headed home to shower. I walked home because the studio is only a block away fr4om my house. Once I finished getting sressed, I got out my phone and called Bree. She was over within twenty minutes. She just walked in like she slways does.

Naked Pamela Anderson May Grace Billboards
BEIJING (AP) -- A naked Pamela Anderson will beckon from Chinese billboards in a new anti-fur campaign - if the former "Baywatch" star can get past the censors.
The posters, featuring the slogan "Give fur the cold shoulder" in English, show the 37-year-old actress topless with her back to the camera and an arm partly hiding her right breast.An image of falling snow appears above Chinese characters reading "cold shoulders are nothing compared to the pain they feel" and "please don't wear fur."
China's straight-laced media regulators have yet to give the posters a green light, said Jason Baker, a Hong Kong-based spokesman for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which is promoting the anti-fur campaign.
"Depending on the censors, they may be concerned about it, but it's very tastefully done," Baker said. "We may end up having to crop (the photo) a bit."
China was the origin of 40 percent of all American fur imports in 2000, according to PETA.
"I'm perfectly happy to bare my skin if it will help save animals' skins," Anderson said in a statement.
