IE 8 Vomiting Ad Strategy Spits Up Viral Hit
Microsoft recently released an Internet Explorer ad that featured projectile vomiting to promote IE 8 and the "Browse Better" campaign. In fact, the vomiting was so prominent and gross that chances are you were not only totally disgusted, but so horrified that you had to share it with friends.
And that you did. According to video measurement firm Visible Measures, even though the O.M.G.I.G.P (Oh My God, I'm Gonna Puke) ad was eventually pulled by Microsoft, that video, just one part of the much larger campaign, accounted for 57% of the entire campaign's video views. As we originally reported, many a blog cried "eww" when they first saw the ad, but that didn't stop video viewers from grabbing the embed code and reposting the video. This activity lead to a viral effect that continued even after the video was officially pulled by Microsoft, as users who had downloaded the original file re-uploaded it as well as their own re-mixed versions.
Just like many of you commenting on the original story, we still think the video is fairly disturbing, but Visible Measures makes an excellent point when they question whether or not this was planned from the beginning. They write, "We're left to wonder whether or not this was part of the plan all along: publish a controversial though on-message ad, create some heated dialogue, apologize for offending customers, take it down, and drive big viewership numbers ... from online video audiences copying and reposting the spot. Might this be the best result for Microsoft in the end?"
Watch again ... if you dare:

11 Apr Taking Self-tinting, Wireless and Dynamic Glass to Market
With the launch of SMARTGLASS® Dynamic in February, 2017, Clayton Glass have brought the first ever self-tinting, wireless glass technology to the conservatory and lantern roof market, as commercial director, Jason McCabe, explains.
Not only is Clayton Glass a multi-award winning business and a company that's been listed in the London Stock Exchange's 1000 Companies to Inspire Britain report, but we've built an enviable reputation for product innovation. For over 10 years, we have been pushing the technological boundaries in conservatory glass and our flagship Ultra 86 product fully supports this claim.
However, we believe that the launch of SMARTGLASS® Dynamic reflects the start of what we believe will be a fundamental shift for the specialist conservatory roof glass sector. Whilst static fixed tint glassed are and will probably remain the norm for some time, equally we are now able to offer a cutting egde dynamic glass, that changes properties as quickly as the UK climate demands, every minute of every day.
For our trade partners it's reassuring to know that this new glass innovation can be manufactured in any shape, delivered in 10-14 working days and can be handled in the same way as any other standard IGU. Unlike electric or switchable glass, there is no need for any wiring, all of the clever engineering is contained within the external pane of glass. As well as updating our new Product Guide, we've also developed a clever interactive tool which can demonstrate the immediate impact of heat on a SMARTGLASS® Dynamic sample.
With several hundred enquiries for sample kits already received, we can safely say that such a unique offering has generated considerable interest from local installation companies, large regional players and also nationally recognised brands. We are already encouraging companies to install the glass in outside showrooms, so the physical properties of the glass can be experienced in real time.
While we have done much to push the boundaries in terms of standard conservatory roof glass, the fact remins that however the properties stack up, it remains a static product. It's tinted to the same degree all year round and other technical specifications do not change as the weather dictates. But SMARTGLASS® Dynamic in contrast does, offering broader sales opportunities and being able to be applied in other domestic applications, particularly where there are large areas of glazing, including bi-folding and patio doors.
SMARTGLASS® Dynamic works by means of a reaction on the upper leaf of the glass unit and so will darken gradually and dynamically when heated by direct sunlight and conversely will revert back to a clear state as the surface of the glass cools down. It's also a glass that's unsurpassed in terms of G-value, which varies from 10-34% and can reflect up to 90% of solar energy, a superior performance to any other dedicated conservatory roof glass.
Light transmission is also offered on a scale of 6-60%, with a centre pane U-value of 1.2 W/m2K, offering impressive insulation properties for the colder months of the year. For the very warmest months of the year, in its darkest state SMARTGLASS® Dynamic offers a 6% light transmission, reflecting 90% of all solar energy. In winter conversely it offers a 60% light transmission close to that of a standard clear unit, when you need it most.
But the performance at either ends of the spectrum is only part of the equation, as the glass is not only dynamic in name, but dynamic in nature. It will regulate the level of inbound solar energy throughout the day, so there are an infinite number of interim states that are affected by the temperature of the outer pane. Time of year, position of the sun and location of the installation will all have contributing factors.
This new technology also benefits from an ability to block 99% of harmful UV rays, helping to eliminate the risk of damage to furnishings and flooring. As with all products that bear the SMARTGLASS® name, there's also true self cleaning, warm edge technology and argon filled low e credentials.
We also envisage interest from the bi-folding and patio door markets, particularly on exposed, South facing elevations where glare and solar heat gain are an issue. Typical IGU's are designed to bring an element of solar heat gain within a building, part of the Window Energy Ratings, yet something in certain circumstances that is not welcomed. This phenomenon has also spurred us on to develop another industry first in terms of SMARTGLASS®-W, designed specifically for side frames.
We're certainly ahead of the curve with the launch of SMARTGLASS® Dynamic and we fully expect the early adopters in terms of the trade and consumers to take up this new, dynamic product proposition. It's a product perfectly suited for conservatories, atriums, lantern roofs and the burgeoning bi-folding door sector, but how long before we see it adopted in the rooflight market for loft conversions by some of the global brands..?

I worked in a pub in the Old Swan area of Liverpool. If the acts booked for the evening's entertainment didn't end their set with 'The Best' by Tina Turner there was a riot. Used to be quite tricky for the Irish Revolutionary Ceilidh bands to learn the words.

The Sexorcist
Stinky twats
I don't kid man I fuck Nicole right in her pink hole
Then a pickle light up a nickle
Now honeys ready for the meaty stick pole
Holding some pom-poms, pork them like won-tons
My cum-shot bombs are two hot blondes
I fuck you where you make your doodie, start shaking bootie
While rockin' thongs, spread your crevice
Get prepared for the rubber prongs
I know this bitch that'll suck your dick for three cracks
And her clitoris lips be hanging down to her kneecaps
Whether hip-hop or grunge, I'll even munch on the buns of nuns
Your cunge is lunch, I'll plunge into your vaginal sponge
If honeys ass is god, I'ma shoot a massive wad
With the brutal precision, incision, in poodle position
I'm taking these polariods of this blonde
My best believe it's washed down south
She's trippin' upon, substitute my peter with a chiquita
Then devour for three hours
Of a hot, wet drippin', cunt sqaushed against my mouth
I'd like to give a 16 year old slut
Young buck a tongue fuck
But she might get knocked up
And the cops'll wanna lock my cock up
Chorus x4
I'm gonna fuck you
One way or another
I'm gonna fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you
Yo you a bitch
Your mouth is equilvelent to garbage
Suck my cock like a good little girl and make my knob twitch
You need a job? Work your lips up and down my solid meat
Inside of me, eat my dick like collard greens
You're wanking me off so damn fast your hand is a blur
Open your mouth, I got a visitor
I'm spitting globs of spunk
Now bob my chunk of godly hunk all over your fucking face
Get on your dirty knees, bend over and bob
Suck my dick with devotion
Till your wet tongue spreads my cock juice all over my nuts
You got a no nonsense deep throat motion
Our bodies creating friction like no lotion
Substitute my dick with a dynamite stick and fuck your slit
Peep the over explosion
Necro is a demented mack
Your boobs warm against my back
What's more intense than crack
You got no idea how much pleasure I can talk
So let your fingers grasp, or rub my shaft like a snake
Now wank me
After you suck it you could thank me
Frankly I want hanky-panky if you're skanky
Chorus x4
Fuck you!
I'll fuckin' kidnap you!
You bitch!
I'll fuckin' put a fuckin' needle in your arm
You're dead

Boost Your Confidence in Just 1 Minute
Are you afraid of doing something in your life because your feelings of inadequacy are holding you back? Do you lack confidence during the most crucial times? Everyone feels this way at some point in our lives. Most people just aren't naturally confident 100 percent of the time. However, you can change this. You can stand on stage in front of thousands and give that speech. You can confront your boss and tell him you deserve more responsibility and a raise. Just like a muscle, you need exercises to strengthen and challenge your self-perception, because there are too many outside influences that challenge it every day.
Anchoring is a common practice in neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and very easy to do. Have you ever heard a song and a specific memory came flooding back to you? Maybe it's the first time you danced with someone; what you listened to before every game to pump yourself up; something that reminds you of deployment or trip three years ago. Food is the same way. In fact, all of our senses connect us, anchor us, to specific times and places in our past. For example, I can't smell burning toast without thinking about the time I caught my college cafe's toaster on fire.
Many of the anchors in our lives have been set unconsciously. However, you absolutely can decide to create your own, and that's what we're going to do with the following exercise. You're going to create a button in yourself so that every time you push it, you automatically feel more confident and ready to tackle whatever situation you're facing.
- To start, you're going to work yourself into what Tony Robbins calls a peak state. Basically, this is you at your best, your most confident, take-no-crap version of yourself.

A rise in fees has led to growing dissatisfaction with retail banks, which may be sacrificing long term growth in favor of short-term gains, J.D. Power and Associates said in a study.
Customer satisfaction with retail banks dropped 26 points on a 1,000-point scale to 737 from the year before, according to the survey of nearly 20,000 households, conducted by the consumer study arm of McGraw-Hill.
While the current financial crisis has bruised the image of retail banks, it is cost-cutting and increased fees that have largely contributed to falling consumer sentiment, the study found.
"Some of the key drivers of customer satisfaction, such as the percent of transaction problems, fees, and wait time for tellers and phone service are going the wrong direction," Rockwell Clancy, executive director of financial services at J.D. Power and Associates, said in an interview.
Faced with the collapse of home values and the credit crisis, banks have cut personnel and increased transaction charges to meet shareholder demands.
"Typically when financial institutions are under a crunch, with loan volumes going down and charge-offs going up, banks raise fees and reduce staff to make their numbers," Clancy said.
Among the highest rated retail bankers, Commerce Bank received the top spot in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions, while BancorpSouth Inc was rated highest in the Southeast.
Wachovia Bank was ranked first in the Southwest, and Bank of the West led the Western region of the country.
Banks that resist the urge to cut costs and retain a high level of customer service could reap financial rewards in the future, J.D. Power said.
According to the study, a bank that increased the number of highly committed customers -- people with a strong emotional attachment to the brand -- by 5 percent saw overall deposits grow as much as 3 percent annually.
"The focus on customer satisfaction can sometimes be considered as a discretionary expense when in fact it's the real differentiator in financial performance," Clancy said.

When I think of Milan only the big words are coming to my mind: splendid, marvelous, grand. And – as it comes to style – it's truth. Curious about Milan shopping?
Monumental architecture, wide streets, celebrated fashion houses – all of it make the city of Milan an elegant, classic and vibrant destination. Italian light adds to it, filling the visitors with admiration and respect.
Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening
{Coco Chanel}
This Summer I found myself in Milan's busy streets searching for the new boutiques that would supplement Shop Trotter's list of the places worth visiting. And although we already were leading our users to as many as over 1,5 thousand of them, it was obvious there are much more great boutiques, multi-brands and hidden gems to shop in.
As it comes to concept stores 10 Corso Como is the number one – probably – in the world. This conglomerate of the bookstore (carrying anything about style, fashion, and design), world's smallest hotel, an art gallery, café and restaurant, and – of course – fashion boutique full of established and lesser-known brands along with one-and-only capsule collections — is the unmissable point of an excursion.
Corso Como, 10, 20124 Milano, Italy
phone: +39 02 29002674
Another interesting boutique is Giò Moretti. Don't be surprised to find there – besides of men's and women's fashion – also music and flowers at its best.
Via della Spiga, 4, Milano MI, Italy
Phone: +39 02 7600 3186
Antonia Milano – a little walk from Quadrilatero Della Moda (especially if you go there on high heels) – is definitely worth detouring. I wasn't lucky since the boutique has been closed (probably due to Vacanze, but they didn't put any info on front doors so I was disappointed trying TWICE to see the newest Fall collections they carry), but believe me – it's an epitome of a fashionable paradise, stocked with Aquazzura laced hells, Maison Michel hats and all sorts of "It-bags".
Via Cusani, 5, 20121 Milano, Italy
phone: +39 02 8699 8340
If you haven't been there yet (first place to see by every tourist!) – don't miss Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, with Prada, Gucci and Versace boutiques. It's hard to believe that the gallery – an architectural gem – has been built between 1865 and 1877, and it is one of the oldest – but indisputably the most wonderful – shopping mall in the world.
Piazza del Duomo, 20123 Milano, Italy

Retail therapy
might be exhausting so make sure you mark the most fashionable spots to have a coffee or even lunch. The first one is exactly at the Gucci flagship – a posh little place serving expensive drinks, with a view to the international crowd.
Another place to eat in is Emporio Armani Caffe' (via Croce Rossa 2). Simple design and menu inspired by Italian traditional cooking make it a good place for lunch or light fare. And for cocktails! You could stop by after visiting the conglomerate of Armani stores just around the corner (Armani Dolci, Armani Libri, Armani Fiori, to name a few).
Photo: AArmani going
up to the north (in 10 Corso Como area) you'll find Ceresio 7 – a restaurant with swimming pools on the top of the historical building. It's created and run by Dean and Dan Caten – designers behind DSquared2 label. The Chef Elio Sironi's approach is "rediscovering of Italian cuisine great classics". You can enjoy 5-course tasting menu, book a cabana at the pool and watch the distinctive skyline from the rooftop of the building that hosts DSquared2's offices.

While in Milan – every art and fashion lover should go to Fondazione Prada (2, Largo Isarco). It became a cultural institution, lending it's space to permanent and temporary exhibitions. After feeding the soul there is an ideal place for feeding the body: Prada's Bar Luce, designed by film director Wes Anderson. The venue recreates the atmosphere of a typical Milanese cafè in a 'miniature' version of the vaulted glass roof of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele. The furniture, floor, wood wall panels and the range of colors remind of Italian popular culture and aesthetics from the 1950s and 1960s.

Milan is a grand city,
it would be so hard to name all its fashionable attractions. For sure you shouldn't miss via Montenapoleone with the full range of most luxurious boutiques in the world. Make sure to look down, though! Until January 2016 you'll have a chance to spot the high-fashion designs on the manhole covers along the street. These are original one-off pieces engraved in relief and hand painted, created by Italy's most famous fashion designers. It's a third edition of the project called Sopra il Sotto engaging the artist and designers in decorating the manhole covers leading to Milan's complex sewage system.
Excitement about the new collections
doesn't mean Milan has nothing to offer to vintage lovers: here's a handful of second-hand boutiques:
⭐Mania Vintage – stocked with pre-loved Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Fendi, Hermès and Prada items
Via Fratelli Bronzetti, 11, 20129 Milano, Italy
phone: +39 02 8708 8040
⭐ recommended by The Blonde Salad's Chiara Ferragni – Madame Pauline boutique with gowns, jewels and handbags from the beginning of XX century
Foro Buonaparte, 74, 20121 Milano,
phone: +39 02 4943 1201
⭐Vintage Delirium – a vintage kingdom created by Franco Jacassi, "one of the most fascinating vintage shops in Milan," as said by designer Alessandro Dell'Acqua
Via Giuseppe Sacchi, 3, Milano, Italy
phone: +39 02 8646 2076
⭐Cavalli e Nastri – The Sartorialist's Scott Schuman favorite spot (for jewelry and accessories)

Happy Monday, y'all.
Doesn't sound as lovely as Happy Friday always does, but I guess it will do.
I'm tuning in a little late this morning. Over the weekend we had a surprise party for my husband's 35th birthday. It was a last minute scramble to pull together after some travel plans of mine were cancelled, but I think I pulled it off pretty nicely.
We had a little bonifre, ran out of hot dog buns, ate s'mores until we couldn't fit another marshmallow in our mouths, and drank my world famous margaritas until they were coming out our ears. I don't know why I haven't shared my margaritas recipe with you yet, but I promise to do so soon. And actually, I do know why I haven't shared it – it's because we always drink them as soon as I make them. Whoopsies!
Anyway, today I'm still recovering from the party and the football game and the movie we went to see last night (The Martian – very good, highly recommend, we saw in 3D, but would be fine either way, I think). So, I'm copping out a bit and just directing you to a fun recipe that I already shared as part of my partnership with eBay! I love working with them and sharing recipes there – it's like a little extension of this blog. 🙂
So, go check out my creepy cake bars. They'd make a super fun Halloween treat for the kids in your life this year! And they're just about as simple as you're guessing they are.

Performance Management Overview
The Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) continues to place emphasis on the performance management approach first specified in the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). It requires state DOTs, transit agencies, and MPOs to establish performance and outcome-based programs in several national priority areas.
While the various rules have different deadlines, generally, after a state DOT or transit agency adopt targets for a particular rule, MPOs have 180 days from the date targets are established to adopt their own targets or support the states' or transit agencies'. To date, MVRPC has decided to support the State's targets for all applicable measures and has adopted the Region's transit agencies' targets.
The presentation below provides an overview of performance management, required measures, and the target setting process. It also highlights 2017 baseline information for the Miami Valley Region for each relevant measure.

THREE people were hurt when a lorry and a car collided on a notorious stretch of road between Rugby and Leamington today.
The accident happened on the A423 Ryton to Southam road, at Princethorpe, which accident campaigners have branded the ?most lethal? in the area.
A woman in the car had to be cut free by fire crews used hydraulic equipment. The woman, who has not been named by police, was taken to Coventry and Warwick-shire Hospital with leg injuries.
The driver of the lorry and the driver of the car were also taken to hospital with back injuries.
The accident happened just before 6am on the brow of the hill near the Princethorpe crossroads of the A423 and Fosse Way.
A spokesman for Leamington fire station said: ?It was quite a severe collision and obviously when a small car collides with an articulated lorry, the car comes off worse.
?They had air bags in the car, which I?m sure saved them from more serious injury.?
Five people have died on the A423 in two years. There have also been 10 accidents where people were injured - four of them seriously - on the stretch between the river and the disused railway line.
Police say some of the collisions were caused by excessive speed.
Rugby borough councillor for Princethorpe, Ron Ravenhall, said: ?We are doing our damnedest at all ends to try to make this road safer. What it really needs is mobile speed cameras right the way from Long Itchington through to Ryton, which the police have said they will use.
?Even after the measures which have already been put in place, the A423 is still the most dangerous road in the borough.?
Last autumn ?dragon?s teeth? lines and speed signs were painted on the road at Marton and countdown signs from 300 yards from the 30mph zone.
A 34-year-old Ryton man was killed last June when his car hit a telegraph pole.
A woman suffered serious injuries after a crash on the same stretch of road early last year.
And in November 1999, four teenagers died and a fifth was hurt when a car smashed into a tree.

By injecting stem cells directly into the brain, scientists have successfully reversed neural birth defects in mice whose mothers were given heroin during pregnancy. Even though most of the transplanted cells did not survive, they induced the brain's own cells to carry out extensive repairs.
Transplanted stem cells have previously shown promise in reversing brain damage caused by strokes, as well as by neurological diseases like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and Huntington's. But their use in treating birth defects is relatively new. In recent years, a handful of research teams have been developing stem-cell-based therapies for rodents with real or simulated birth defects in the brain.
Joseph Yanai, director of the Ross Laboratory for Studies in Neural Birth Defects at the Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School, in Jerusalem, says that stem-cell therapies are ideal for treating birth defects where the mechanism of damage is multifaceted and poorly understood. "If you use neural stem cells," says Yanai, "they are your little doctors. They're looking for the defect, they're diagnosing it, and they're differentiating into what's needed to repair the defect. They are doing my job, in a way."

Chew on this: We'll soon be able to grow replacement teeth
As long as there are hockey players, there will be niche markets for false teeth. But the real news about the future of dentures is that there isn't much of one.
Toothlessness has declined 60 percent in the United States since 1960. Baby boomers will be the first generation in human history typically to go to their graves with most of their teeth.
And now comes tooth regeneration: growing teeth in adults, on demand, to replace missing ones. Soon.
It turns out wisdom teeth are prolific sources of adult stem cells needed to grow new teeth for you. From scratch. In your adult life, as you need them. In the near future. According to the National Institutes of Health.
For thousands of years, losing teeth has been a routine part of aging. That's over.
"We're there, right now," said Pamela Robey, chief of the Craniofacial and Skeletal Diseases Branch at the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, part of the National Institutes of Health. "A lot of people will go and never lose a tooth. With good health care and proper habits, there's no reason to lose a tooth."
The introduction of fluoride into drinking water and toothpaste is viewed as one of the 10 greatest public-health accomplishments of the 20th century, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
It did not occur without controversy. In the renowned 1964 black comedy "Dr. Strangelove," Brig. Gen. Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) attacks the Soviet Union with nuclear-armed B-52s, hoping to thwart a communist conspiracy to "sap and impurify" the American people with fluoridated water.
Leslie Seldin has some perspective on this. He graduated from dental school in 1966 and was the editor of "The Future of Dentistry," a report published in 2001 by the American Dental Association.
"When I was growing up" — in the '50s — "reaching the teen years you'd develop enormous amounts of decay," he said. It wasn't until the '60s, when most baby boomers were growing up, that fluoridation really started having a major impact.
Body repair 'could be ramped up'
A combination of drugs could trick the body into sending its repair mechanisms into overdrive, say scientists.
The technique could be used to speed the healing of heart or bone damage, they claim.
The bone marrow of treated mice released 100 times as many stem cells – which help to regenerate tissue.
Imperial College London scientists reported their work in the journal Cell Stem Cell, but said human trials were some years away.
The release of stem cells by the bone marrow is a natural part of the repair process – different types are sent to replenish tissue depending on the nature of the injury.
However, in some cases, for example the damage caused by heart disease, the repair is not entirely successful, and loss of function persists.
The theory behind the Imperial College research is to boost the quantity of stem cells released, which will hopefully mean a swifter and more complete recovery.
Techniques already exist to increase the numbers of blood cell producing stem cells from the bone marrow, but the study focuses on two other types – endothelial, which produce the cells which make up our blood vessels, and mesenchymal, which can become bone or cartilage cells.

Google Glass Moves With Speed Thanks to Open Source
By Luis Ibáñez | April 12, 2014
I recently got a Google Glass device through the Explorer Program. Once I got it in my hands, I linked it to my associated Gmail account and G+ account. Then, I got started. One of the first things I noticed was that I was presented with many open source software tools to work with. This was exciting. And, I soon learned that it was thanks to these open source resources that Glass development can be done quickly and successfully. Read More »

Visualization is a very common technique used in hypnotherapy and NLP. It involves creating mental images or pictures in a persons mind.
Visualization is an experience that, on most occasions, significantly resembles the actual experience of perceiving some object, event, or scene in the physical world, yet is not actually present to the senses.
Visualization is commonly used as a form of visual rehearsal, allowing a person to imagine themselves in the future as having or doing whatever it is they want to have or do now. Visualization can also be used as a form of self hypnosis.
Common examples of mental imagery include daydreaming and the mental visualization that occurs while reading a book. Producing an image in our minds can be a voluntary act, so it can be characterized as being under various degrees of conscious control.

Long ago, in a galaxy far away a baby and parents-to-be needed an epic Star Wars Pregnancy announcement.

Shiver of light
jolts the winter star-points.
I shake a little round my spinal axis.
Without a body to be cold in,
could I love those sparrows?
Without our ribbed existence here,
no tender hearts in cages.
Once there was no shiver,
just UNCARVED BLOCK.
Once there was no tremor,
nor shimmer.
Once there were no ears
and so no songs, nor silence.
But tonight,
I stand by the sparrows.
Shiver of light

I awoke in the middle of the night in a fit of panic. I got up and sat in my trusty reading chair and sobbed.
The day before, I'd written a blog on judgments, and here I was, judging myself. My shadow must've read it and thought it cute, because now he was pelting me with not only judgments but predictions, threats, and certainties. All crystal-clear, all logical facts—I'm a failure and I always will be.
I went back to bed and slept through some snoozes; and when I awoke, I felt like hell. When I got up, I took my shower and brushed. And then, looking in the mirror, I did something I've never done before after a sad bout like that:
I forgave myself.
I then meditated, scribbled, and went to my writing for the day. It's essential to have a ritual like mine to get you through tough times, but it begins with forgiveness.
Friends, it's not when things are going right but when they're going wrong that you need your strength and courage. It's when you're rejected over and over by magazines and publishers that you must regain your focus. It's lose your way when you need to take a breath and focus and fight back the day. Nobody is perfect, everybody messes up.
Right now I feel so proud for having won back the day. I refocused, told myself that I'm always learning and growing, and I moved on.
I'm not perfect. I admit that. And for a moment this morning, I felt like such a failure for writing a blog on judgments when I'd myself succumbed to them. But I didn't succumb; I wrote this, didn't I?
I'm not perfect, and neither are you. We shouldn't want to be.
Forgive yourself and try again. It's how we become whole.
Have a great day!
Create and Complete.

Diablo Cody will be taking her talent of creating complex female protagonists to television — Fox, the surprising new home for relatively smart network TV, has put into production a series called Prodigy, written by Cody and produced Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage's (that's The O.C. producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage to you) Fake Empire.
Here's a synopsis from Deadline:
It centers on a 16-year-old genius who through home schooling has been isolated from her peers. Hoping to experience a "normal" teen social life before she enters the adult world of academia, she enrolls in her local high school. But her experiment goes off the rails when she finds herself adopted by a wild crowd, getting caught up in a whirlwind of romance and crime.
So, this is basically Doogie Howser if, instead of going directly into the medical profession, Doogie wanted to "relate" to kids his own age by matriculating into grade school, and, once in grade school, he and his new friends, while blitzed on meth, accidentally killed another kid and had to hide the body in a cubby at school, the last place anyone would look. I hope I'm not misreading this, because if this analogy is correct, Prodigy sounds awesome.

Q: Can I fix my own credit file?
A: Yes, however due to the difficult nature of some creditors your chances may be limited unless you have extensive industry and legislative knowledge. Ombudsman services will investigate issues for you but they will not be your exclusive agent and work on default removal for you as a stand alone service because their primary role is to police the industry. Generally an ombudsman will not give you legal advice or instructions on what you should be doing, they will normally only investigate. Just as a court will prosecute, you still need to know what you are doing and know how to present a case within the guidelines.
Our extensive professional and industry experience gives us an unequalled advantage in removing adverse listings.
Q: How long do bad listings remain on my credit file?
A: Most listings remain for 5 to 7 years from the original list date even if you have paid after the listing was made.
Q: Are small listing amounts as bad as large ones?
A: In most cases, Yes. Many lenders use computerized scoring systems. These scoring systems do not look solely at default dollar amounts, instead they count the number of defaults listed.
Q: How long does it take to fix?
A: Credit issues don't get fixed over night. Anyone who promises you a quick fix should be questioned. Often there are many departments we deal with such as the Credit providers, Credit reporting agencies, Governing bodies, Ombudsman offices and Courts.
Most issues average a turn around time of around 14 to 30 days.
Q: Why do I pay most of the fee once the job is done ?
A: Some companies will charge large amounts up front. Many of these companies will not even advise you of the cost unless you provide extensive personal and private information upfront. Unlike these firms, we pride ourselves on our results and high level of successful service delivery. We put our money where our mouth is, meaning if we can't deliver then we don't get paid for the whole job.
Q: How good is FixBadDebt at fixing credit file issues?
A: We are the best at what we do. We have to deliver what we say otherwise we don't get paid in full. We believe we are the only group specializing solely in credit repair who back ourselves to this degree.
Q: How much does it cost?
A: This depends upon the type of listing, the number of listings and the time involved. After we discuss your credit file and the issues we can advise you of an exact cost before any agreement is made to start credit repair.
Q: Can I get my Credit file for free?
A: Yes you can. You will have to apply directly to a credit reporting bureau and you will have to wait, normally a couple of weeks.
Our express service is not free and you are paying to have someone attend to your request immediately to purchase and retrieve your file from Veda. This express service costs $62.70 AUD gst inclusive.
Q: What is Vedascore?
A: Vedascore is a ranking product supplied by Veda to credit providers. It is calculated based on aspects of your credit file and is explained here.
Contact us: 02 5809 8275 or email us
Q: Is Fix Bad Debt affiliated with Veda Advantage?
A: No. As part of our service and only at your request, Fix Bad Debt may access your credit file immediately conditional upon your authority being submitted. We are a registered access seeker to the credit file data base of Veda Advantage. Our express Veda credit check service is a premium tool for consumers obtain their Veda credit file without delay accompanied by a free assessment of any potential issues. Please be aware that we do not provide direct online access to Veda Advantage or any of its related services, nor do we represent Veda Advantage as an agent or any form of sub agent. Due to Australian legal parameters and/or preferences Veda Advantage does not endorse our actions or services, nor do we in return of Veda's products and services.

ILRP Changes Target All Calif. Farmers

The recently proposed changes to the Irrigated Lands Regulatory Program (ILRP), open for public comment until Wednesday, May 18, could significantly impact farmers, according to Casey Creamer, coordinator for the Kings River Water Quality Coalition. "The proposed modifications concern the east San Joaquin Region, within Madera, Merced and Stanislaus Counties," Creamer said. "That's the scope of it."
According to the State Water Resources Control Board's (SWRCB) website, ILRP "regulates discharges from irrigated agricultural lands. This is done by issuing waste discharge requirements (WDRs) or conditional waivers of WDRs (Orders) to growers." Discharges include irrigation runoff, flows from tile drains and storm water runoff, which can transport "pollutants including pesticides, sediment, nutrients, salts (including selenium and boron), pathogens, and heavy metals, from cultivated fields into surface waters. Orders contain conditions requiring water quality monitoring of receiving waters and corrective actions when impairments are found."
While ILRP currently targets only the east San Joaquin region, Creamer said, "It's a precedent-setting deal, so everything in there is going to affect not only the entire Central Valley, but the Central Coast and the Imperial Valley—that may not have near the issues or the current regulatory programs that we have here in the Central Valley. So, its very important statewide."
Creamer emphasized, "Farmers need to know that this is not a minor issue; this is a big issue that affects their livelihoods and their ability to operate. They need to get involved. They need to communicate with their other growers, communicate with their associations, get involved and have their voices heard."
The State Water Board is hosting a public workshop on the proposed order on Tuesday, May 17, in Fresno—one day prior to the closing of the ILRP public comment period. The workshop will be held at 9:00 a.m. in the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, Central Region, 1990 E. Gettysburg Avenue, Fresno.
The SWRCB is also soliciting written comments on the proposed order. Written comments must be received by 5:00 p.m., Wednesday, May 18, 2016. Please indicate in the subject line, "Comments to A-2239(a)-(c)." Electronic submission of written comments is encouraged. Written comments must be addressed to:
Ms. Jeanine Townsend
Clerk to the Board
State Water Resources Control Board
1001 I Street, 24th Floor [95814]
P.O. Box 100
Sacramento, CA 95812-0100

The Kings River Water Quality Coalition is a non-profit joint powers agency established by the irrigation districts in the Kings River service area. It is governed by a board of directors of landowners from each of the districts. Staffing of the Coalition is administered through an agreement with the Kings River Conservation District located in Fresno. The Coalition was formed in 2009 in order to allow growers within the region a cost-effective avenue to comply with the regulations developed by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board. The Coalition conducts regional monitoring and reporting and assists members in compliance with regulations. The Coalition is not a regulatory agency. Enforcement of the ILRP is handled by the Regional Water Quality Control Board.

Great Britain (0) 0
Australia (1) 2
Rintala (PC, 4), Ephraums (FG, 35)
Great Britain will return from Malaysia with a silver medal after Australia beat them 2-0 in a tense Sultan of Johor Cup final.
The U21s started the game having won each of their group fixtures but came up against a side looking for revenge after losing 4-2 to Britain on Wednesday.
Goals from Joel Rental and Nathan Ephraums were enough to secure the win for Australia and ensure they became only the second side to win consecutive Sultan of Johor Cups after India did it between 2013-2014.
Britain pressed hard in the second half of the game but could not force a shot on the Australian goal and had to settle for a second silver medal, having also finished runners-up in 2014.
Having been blasted by their coach following the group stage loss to Britain, The Burras started the game strongly and forced the first penalty corner of the game in the fourth minute.
They entered the final with the best corner conversion rate in the tournament and proved why as Rintala slammed the ball past a helpless Chris Wyver to give his side an early lead.
The rest of the first quarter was largely uneventful as Jon Bleby's team started to grow into the game before Wyver was forced into a good save from another penalty corner at the start of the second period.
Wyver then produced an even better save shortly after to keep out Andrew Scanlon as Australia tried to make the most of having an extra man following a yellow card for Eddie Way.
But it was the Brits who came closest to scoring next as they broke up the other end of the field, with Callum Mackenzie's superb deflection finding Cameron Golden in the circle but he his pass was deflected behind off an Australian stick.
Australia then doubled their lead five minutes after half-time as Ephraums superbly turned away from Alex Blumfield before slotting the ball past Wyver for his ninth goal of the tournament.
After that Great Britain enjoyed much of the possession their lead but struggled to fashion any clear-cut chances, seeing their only penalty corner of the game well blocked by Koby Green with just over a minute to go as Australia held on to win.
There was some consolation for Great Britain though as captain Jack Waller, top scorer Duncan Scott and Wyver were all named in the 'Team of the Tournament, while the latter was also named the 'Goalkeeper of the Tournament' having conceded just six goals in six games.

As host James Corden noted during tonight's Grammys broadcast, the Best Spoken Word category makes it possible for anyone and everyone to win a Grammy—like, say, Carrie Fisher. In an effort to predict who will win next year, then, Corden put the awards on hold for a moment for a skit in which he auditioned famous people for the audiobook of Fire And Fury, Michael Wolff's book about the chaos inside Trump's White House. Snoop Dogg, John Legend, and Cher all appeared, with DJ Khlaed trying to turn the book into a proper banger and Cardi B questioning the absurdity of Trump's whole thing.
Then Corden dropped the real star of the sketch: Hillary Clinton. It's not the funniest moment in award show history, but at least we know Trump will probably complain about it whenever he sees the clip—or, more likely, whenever Fox And Friends airs a segment on how disrespectful it was.

Solidifying its place in the API economy, Google has agreed to acquire Apigee in a deal worth $625 million.
Apigee provides a platform for developing, managing and monetizing application programming interfaces, as well as predictive analytics to help developers gain insight into the use of their APIs. The deal is expected to close by the end of this year.
APIs are essentially building blocks for developing software applications.
"Companies are moving beyond the traditional ways of communicating like phone calls and visits and instead are communicating programmatically through APIs," Diane Green, senior vice president of Google's cloud business, said in a statement. "APIs allow the company's back-end services to talk to the mobile and web-based apps used by their customers and partners. Instead of the doctor phoning a prescription into the pharmacy, they can use an app that talks to the pharmacy through an API. Apigee easily enables this by providing a comprehensive API platform that supports secure, stable, multi-language, dev, test, publish and analytics capabilities."
Further reading
Chet Kapoor, CEO of Apigee, concurred, noting that the industry has entered into a new era of cloud computing, where companies are running more and more business-critical applications in the cloud and even across multiple clouds.
"Google is the open cloud provider committed to delivering new software for not only hybrid-cloud environments, but also for the multi-cloud world." Kapoor said in a statement. "With their history of innovation in web and mobile technologies, we believe Google is the partner for companies embarking on a digital transformation. We look forward to being able to accelerate our mission to connect the world through APIs as part of the Google team."
Al Hilwa, an analyst with IDC, told eWEEK this acquisition is a significant move Google is making in its enterprise cloud efforts and should be seen as an indication of how the company is willing to invest with Diane Greene now at the helm of its enterprise cloud business.
"APIs are at the heart of how mobile apps interact with back-end systems and how modern microservices are constructed," Hilwa noted. "Scaling and securing APIs is becoming an essential capability in new applications. We should expect Apigee to become an important new ingredient in Google's Cloud Platform and a competitive lever in the API wars between cloud providers."
Apigee has hundreds of customers, including brand names such as Walgreens, AT&T, Bechtel, Burberry and First Data. Walgreens, for instance, uses Apigee to manage the APIs that developers use to build apps for the Walgreens ecosystem—including the Photo Prints API and the Prescription API, both of which power mobile applications.
Greene described APIs as the mechanism developers use to interface and integrate with outside apps and services, noting that they are vital for how business gets done today in the digital and mobile marketplace.
"They're the hubs through which companies, partners and customers interact, whether it's a small business applying online for a loan or a point-of-sale system sending your warranty information to the manufacturer," she said in a blog post.
