Richard was born in Missouri in 1974 as an identical twin under the zodiac sign of Gemini. He developed an interest in games at a young age, beginning his first game design at the age of 4 trying to create new rules for the "game" Cootie so that it didn't suck. He designed many amateur games and co-wrote with his brother throughout his childhood and adolescence in Missouri, Washington, Colorado, and Oklahoma.
In 1990, he enrolled in Western Washington University where he spent far more time playing Dungeons & Dragons and Axis & Allies than actually studying, but eventually graduated in 1997 with a Bachelor of Arts in Gaming Systems & Applications, a self-designed major. During this time, he worked for a retail hobby game store which further contributed to his absorption with board games and RPGs.
In 1995, he began working full time in R&D at Wizards of the Coast. As the playtest coordinator, he worked on almost every non-RPG that Wizards developed from 1995-1997. Concurrently with his time at Wizards, he co-founded his first company Rubicon Games and purchased the Everway line from Wizards as well as worked on several new properties.
In 1997, he left Wizards, got married and changed his name, and started working in the computer game industry with Microsoft Game Studios. Over the next 10 years, he worked on nearly 40 MMOs, PC games, Xbox games, casual download games, web games, Windows Messenger games, and Xbox Live Arcade games.He also started and ran a paper RPG company, Gaslight Press, which has since suspended operation but may return to active production at some point.
In 2005, his daughter Emily was born, and in 2007 he left Microsoft to found his own studio just in time for the economy to collapse, whereupon he joined another startup MMO game studio, The Amazing Society as the Executive Producer and is currently working on a kids MMO based in the Marvel universe.

Product training news
This week was the official opening of Kongsberg Maritime's expanded training centre in Horten. Located on the dockside of the inner harbour, the centre is set to welcome course participants
from around the world.
The team, consisting of seven instructors, will be able to provide a complete set of combined or individual courses within Dynamic Positioning, Navigation, Automation and Subsea technology.
In addition to standard courses, the center will focus on the training needs of individuals and will offer customised solutions developed in cooperation with customers and the Kongsberg Maritime Training
A week long course can now be compressed into a package consisting of, e.g., a three day HiPAP course with a two day DP refresher course using the advanced simulators on site. We will also be able
to set up courses based on a specific vessel, with up to nine participants from each organisation.
"We believe the learning situation improves with a familiar visual set-up from real operations. The new courses are already established and working well for our customers. We look forward to building
on this very strong start for the new centre," says head of the location's Training Center Arild Røen.
"Collaboration across different product areas and locations enables us to operate more efficiently and opens the opportunity to offer compressed training packages that will provide cost savings
for the customer," adds Rita Krathe, coordinator of the new training center.
The new training centre offers the full portfolio of Kongsberg Maritime's training courses, including:

I noticed this weekend that the directions for the SCVMM MPS Reports utility are incomplete. The only instructions that come with the utility are the ones on the download site that tell you how to download and run the tool:
>>>To install the MPS Reporting Tool
1. Download the file MPSRPT_SCVMM.exe.
2. Copy the file to the computer on which you want to diagnose problems.
3. Open an elevated Command Prompt window with administrative privileges, and then run MPSRPT_SCVMM.exe., or right-click MPSRPT_SCVMM.exe, and then click "Run as Administrator".
4. Accept the End-User License Agreement (EULA).
By default, the MPS Reporting Tool is installed in the %SystemRoot%\MPSReports\VirtualMachineManager folder.
Our own Mike Briggs shared with me his template that he sends to customers that fully explains the steps needed to use the SCVMM MPS Reports so I thought I would share this with the rest of you here. If you ever need to collect MPS Reports for Virtual Machine Manager then these are the steps to follow:
How to use MPSRPT Tool for VMM 2008/R2
Download MPSRPT.exe to local machine and run it from the local machine.
1. The MPSRPT can be downloaded from the following link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=4e3dc013-c299-4b80-9735-64a8b9fa60c7&displaylang=en
2. You need to accept the License Terms to install
3. The tool will be installed to %windir%\MPSReports\VirtualMachineManager folder
1. Start tracing on all the machines (you should always get the trace on the VMM Server) that you want to collect the trace from:
a. Open an elevated command window and CD to %windir%\MPSReports\VirtualMachineManager\bin directory
b. Run "StartVerbose.cmd"
2. Once the StartVerbose.cmd has completed, reproduce the problem. When the problem has been reproduced, proceed to the next step.
3. Stop tracing and collect log files:
a. You only need to do this on VMM Server machine, make sure the account you logged on to the VMM Server has the admin privilege on all the machines where the logs need to be collected
c. Open a command window and CD to %windir%\MPSReports\VirtualMachineManager\bin directory
d. Run "mpsrpt.cmd /m:*"
Note: This command will collect data from all hosts and the VMM Server
e. Alternatively, use the following command to specify individual machines to collect data
f. Run "mpsrpt.cmd /m:vmm_server:host_server:"
4. Send the report
a. Read the readme.txt to see the list of information that are being collected
b. Find the cab files in %windir%\MPSReports\VirtualMachineManager\rpt\cab\[YYYY-MM-DD] folder
c. Send the latest cab file if you have more than one.
Hope this helps,
Steve Bucci | Senior Support Engineer

text: Hi Bob...I couldn't disagree more about your comment about Ms Streep's performance. Although the material was a bit clumsy and Myer's treatment of the subject was very white bread, La Streep sailed wonderfully through the film adding depth and dimension to what could have been a very bland character. It was great to see her being a contemporary woman again and a very real one at that. Never mind the stitched up awfulness of 'Doubt' and the annoying flutiness of 'Julie and Julia'. I felt Ms Streep had really come home with this performance. Your assessment is way off the mark here on this one. cheers Paul

Marques de Pombal, Chiado, Parque das Nações. Do these names mean anything to you?
If they do, then you know Lisbon very well, but most travellers coming here won't really be aware of where in the city these areas are, or if they're convenient for sight-seeing. Furthermore, many local adverts mention the civil parish names (or "freguesias") such as Prazeres, Santa Engrácia or Anjos, which are only really known by the locals.
You may also hear these areas called by their neighbourhood or "bairro" names: Alfama, Belém, Castelo, Lapa, Mouraria, Sete Rios, etc. up to a total of 160 according to Wikipedia.
But what you really want to know is which area is central, right? Where can you stay for convenient access to transport, sights, museums, restaurants and monuments.
In our opinion, the best areas in Lisbon are the central ones closest to the river and to help you we can tell you that if you rent an apartment in any of the following neighbourhoods, you'll be in the centre and have easy access to Lisbon's cultural offering:
Alfama: Lisbon's Old Town district, described by us here.
Bairro Alto: good for restaurants, bars and night-life, although perhaps a bit too lively for some
Baixa: next to Lisbon's central squares such as Rossio, Restauradores and Praça do Comércio
Belém: not central, but still within Lisbon and great for the area's monuments (the Tower of Belém, Jeronimos Monastery, Discoveries Monument)
Castelo: the area around and just below the castle (there may be steep climbs)
Chiado: the major downtown shopping district
Mouraria: traditional area (info here) and good for transport since it's close to the central Martim Moniz square, where there is a Metro and also where the famous Number 28 Tram stops.
There are perhaps others, but we would recommend looking at a map, and drawing imaginary lines from the Santos-o-Velho train station by the riverside in the West, up to the Avenida Metro station in the North, and to the Santa Apolonia Metro & Train station in the East. Anything within these lines is most certainly central. The image below shows such a map, together with our own apartments and some major tourist sights – an interactive version may be seen here)
In recent times there has been a veritable boom in apartment rentals, and of course apartment rental Internet portals to accompany this increased interest.
What you may not know, although can probably guess, is that these portals all charge a commission in one way or another. Often the commission is charged to the property owner, but sometimes it is charged to you, the client. Whatever the business model, bottom line prices are increased because obviously the apartment owners like ourselves want to cover our costs so we can continue to give our clients the best service possible.
When you rent direct from the owner, however, you have several advantages amongst which cheaper accommodation is only one: change of dates, cancellations, discounts, special requests, early or late check-in/out, arrival assistance, restaurant recommendations, tourist information … all of this is possible when you book direct from the owner.
Basically you have greater flexibility and almost always cheaper prices – worth it, don't you think?
Make sure you know how many people your apartment can accommodate. This normally all boils down to the number of bedrooms available, although most tourist apartments will also include a sofa-bed in the lounge, which allows you to save on the final price since tariffs are generally published per apartment with perhaps just a small increase for extra guests.
But local accommodation adverts in Portugal will often refer to apartments as T0, T1 or even T1+1 – what does all this mean?
Well, it is basically referring to the number of bedrooms: a T0 has no bedroom and will be what is generally known as a studio apartment, with just a general space that serves as the living room, dining room, bedroom and sometimes even the kitchen. T1 is a 1-bedroom apartment, T2 is a 2-bedroom apartment and so on. A T1+1 is more subjective, but will generally be a 1-bedroom apartment with another internal room that has no windows and at a pinch could be used as another bedroom.
The origin of the T is unclear, even to locals, but is thought to stand for "tipo" or "tipologia". And while you're looking at capacity, it is often also worth asking what other rooms the apartment contains: separate kitchen, storeroom, separate living room, etc.
An apartment's just an apartment, right? Just somewhere to sleep at night, right? Wrong. You'll find your stay much more confortable if your lodging includes all possible amenities to provide you a home away from home.
For example, does the apartment have an Internet connection, and more importantly is it free? Is it wi-fi? Are all sheets and towels provided for your stay? Is the apartment Children-Friendly with possibilities to request a cot or baby chair? Are there international channels on the TV? Is there even a TV? Is the kitchen fully-equipped with all cooking utensils and time-saving devices like dish-washers? Are basic necessities like toilet paper, hand-soap, salt & pepper, etc. provided? Can you wash your clothes at the apartment, and more importantly is there space to hang them out to dry afterwards? Is there an iron and ironing board available?
We're sure you can find many questions of your own to ask, and this is another advantage of renting direct from the owner – you have somebody to ask those questions to.
This seems an obvious one, right? But what is the normal price for a Lisbon apartment?
Our own 1-bedroom apartments are priced at between 60 and 100 euros per night, but you would only pay the top price of 100 euros when the apartment is for 3-4 guests in the middle of the High Season. And after all, 25€ per person per night isn't that much, is it?
Generalising, we could say that a studio apartment (no bedroom) in Lisbon will cost between 40 – 60 euros per night, a 1-bedroom apartment between 60 – 120 euros, and larger apartments from 100 euros per night and more. Of course there are many, many exceptions to this rule and you shouldn't think you're paying over the top if the price of your apartment is more than these general guidelines – it almost certainly is worth it due to the extra facilities, prime location or whatever.
But make sure you know exactly what the price includes, and that takes us on to the next point.
Make sure that the price you see is the final one.
Will you pay more or less according to the time of year? Is the initial cleaning charge included? (in many cases it isn't). Is the Internet connection included in the price? Do you have to pay for more than 2 guests? Are clean sheets and towels included? Do you pay extra for early check-in or late check-out? Are all taxes included? Do you have to pay anything for electricity, water or gas (normally not)? Is it necessary to pay a damage deposit on arrival?
Don't be afraid to ask – it's always better than finding a nasty surprise when you arrive.
So, you've made your apartment booking and are ready to fly out to Lisbon. You can now concentrate on packing, flight times and the trip itself without worrying about your accommodation, right?
But wait a minute, what happens when you arrive at Lisbon airport? Are you sure you know how to get to the apartment? What happens if you arrive and nobody's there to meet you? Do you know who to call?
First of all, before you leave home, make absolutely sure that you have all relevant information with you:
– owner's name and telephone number
– is there an alternative number just in case?
– what is the full address of the apartment?
– if you have contact with the owner, ask for arrival instructions and/or map
– where will you meet to pick-up the keys (at the apartment, booking office, elsewhere)?
– what is the best way to arrive? – bus, metro, train, taxi, walking (ask the owner!)
– what is the earliest possible check-in time? And the latest check-out time?
– what are the payment possibilities on arrival (cash, credit card)?
– will the person meeting you speak English/Spanish/French/German, etc.?
– do you have to pay a damage deposit on arrival? In cash?
We can only speak for ourselves when we say we certainly try to provide all of the above information to our clients, or at least encourage them to ask any questions they wish.
And a nice added-value we provide for our clients is the possibility of booking a luxury sedan with English-speaking driver to whisk them from the airport to our apartments, all for as little as 40 euros!
And not only how, but DOES everything work? Once you've arrived at the apartment, have a good look around and if you think you don't know how something works, just ask!
If there is a wi-fi Internet connection, do you need the security password? It may be worth trying to connect your laptop while the owner is still around, in case of problems.
Will you be getting all the necessary keys to the apartment? How many copies – enough for your group? Check that the keys you are given work before the owner leaves.
How does the washing machine work and is there washing powder available? Is there anything special about the lights – how do they switch on/off or dim? Is it necessary to switch off the electricity/gas/water when you leave? Is the hot-water automatic or do you need to turn on a heater? How does the TV work?
Again, please don't be afraid to ask. Most owners will be happy to provide all the necessary information about their apartments.
It might be a good idea to check not only the district in Lisbon the apartment is located in (see point 1 above), but also what is available in the streets nearby.
Obviously one of the main advantages behind renting an apartment is that you can cook for yourself. Self-catering won't work very well if there are no supermarkets or food shops near the apartment. So, ask the owner where the nearest supermarket or shopping district is. Lisbon is fortunate in that many supermarkets open every day, Sundays included, and often until quite late at night: 9 or 10pm. But this is of no use to you if such establishments are miles away from where you're staying.
And even though you may be cooking for yourself most of the time, most people will also want to go out to sample the local cuisine at a Portuguese restaurant: are there any in the area you're staying? And what about tourist attractions and sights – how far do you have to walk to see all that Lisbon has to offer?
The above also applies to other basic needs – is there a chemist nearby? Where can you buy bottled water or bread? Are their suitable transport facilities near the apartment: bus, train and Metro?
Whatever information you can get before your book your apartment will always help you choose the best option.
We've left this option until last, because it's possibly the most important.
What safety aspects does your apartment offer? As a professional company offering apartment rentals in Lisbon, we will always try to keep the best interests of our clients in mind. And that means making sure we cater for every eventuality.
Our apartments include fully authorized fire-extinguishers and fire blankets, which will hopefully prevent even the most serious accidents. For lesser mishaps, we also have a first-aid kit at the disposal of all guests, and all properties include a small torch to help you find your way should there be an electricity cut.
We don't use gas at all in any of our properties: all ovens, water heaters and other devices are electric, so there is no risk of anybody accidentally leaving the gas turned on.
Lastly, we are currently in the middle of the process to register all our apartments with the local council. According to a decree approved in 2008, apartments such as ours may be registered at the local city council to obtain official recognition as "Alojamento Local".
Achieving such approval doesn't simply mean we can put a nice official "AL" sign outside the door, it also obliges us to adhere to strict rules and regulations regarding safety, hygiene, cleanliness and information to clients. The apartment building has to be kept in a reasonable state, internally and externally, and the apartments have to pass an official inspection to make sure they are apt for renting to tourists.
So you can see that the authorities in Lisbon are taking the business of apartment rentals seriously, and so are we! Because we appreciate that what's best for our clients is best for us too, because a satisfied client will surely return one day, or recommend our services to friends and family.

The market demand for big data specialists increases at a much faster rate than the number of professionals in it. At Path4Group, we integrate this demand and supply into balance; offering individualised recruitment services for professionals and businesses alike.
- IBM predicted that the demand for data professionals will increase to 4.4 million by the end of 2015.
- From 2013 to 2014 alone, the demand for big data expertise increased by 90%
- The demand for programming professionals almost doubled during the same time period
Big data refers to enormous amounts of data that's extremely difficult to collect, filter, and analyse through traditional means of data processing. Its importance is indicated by the increasing supply of, and access, to digital information at an undeniably increasing rate.
Information is constantly being produced and data is becoming increasingly diverse and complicated. Volume, velocity, and variety were the three terms used to describe big data in the early 2000s. Today, the multiplex of big data considers additional factors like variability and complexity. The former describes the inconsistency in data flow while the latter describes the difficulty in integrating data into similar platforms.
Some of the required skills in big data entitle:
- Apache Hadoop
- Apache Spark
- NoSQL
- Machine Learning and Data Mining
- Statistical and Quantitative Analysis
- Data Visualization
- Programming (Java, C, Python)
The wide application of big data covers every industry. In banking, big data is used to portray customer satisfaction with services as well as mitigate fraudulent acts. In the education industry, big data relates the current school syllabi and programs to the students' progress. Other applications are in health care, retail, manufacturing, and the government.
Storing big data is becoming challenging as well; the rise in big data directly increases the number of software development professionals. Faster processors, cheaper methods, big data platforms, cloud computing, and parallel processing are just some of the concepts used to develop better big data storing.
The typical jobs requiring big data expertise in Australia are:
- Big Data Analyst
- Big Data Engineer
- Lead Data Engineer
- Front and Back end developer
- Java Developer
- Data Integration Engineer

this table the perfect setting for
a 95 year old Elegant ladies day!

everything absolutely sparkled!
The desserts were as extravagant
as the tables....
this one was three stories high...

It was provided by our local bakery and coffee shop...
Somebody took extra care
to design their cupcakes
to match their rose teapot...
(how beautiful)
With a stunning red and purple table
and a dessert fit for a Queen,
The Red Hat Society Ladies

light up a party...
and what a delightful party it was...
local musicians sang and played
though out the whole luncheon...
Music, flowers, and fancy dishes...

happy hostesses, and delighted guests
and finally a picture
of my table and my guests,
Dorry and Marilyn.
It was a treat to share with you...

Mark of the Sylph (Demons of Infernum #2)
by Rosalie Lario
What is it about:
Half-demon Taeg is desperate to free his pregnant sister-in-law, who is spellbound to an indestructible book that will create an army of the undead. He is convinced that an ancient sword can destroy the book and the spell forever, but this relic has been hidden for a millennia by a powerful glamour. The clock begins to run out on his search when an old rival goes after the book and Teag's family in his quest for revenge.
Librarian Maya Flores has a secret: she's immune to magic and is well aware of the supernatural beings prowling the streets of New York City. Haunted by a brutal demon attack that took her family, she is on a one-woman mission to destroy the evil demons who did it-and any others who get in her way.
Maya is Taeg's best hope for uncovering the sword. Unfortunately, she wants nothing more than to kill him. As he fights for her trust and to save his family, she is forced to face the truth that not all demons are evil. And the worst part? She might be falling in love with one, too.
What did Voodoo Bride think of it:
This is an enjoyable read as long as you're not expecting too much.
A typical Paranormal Romance this book has all the things you would expect:
- Gorgeous hero who has women fawning over him left and right: check!
- Perfect heroine who's beautiful, smart and who can handle herself in a fight: check!
- Hero and heroine not communicating so things don't get solved when they could: check!
- Villain who is background noise for most of the story and who waits too long before making his move: check!
So yes, this story isn't too original and the action storyline suffers from not enough real obstacles.
Still I enjoyed this book, because I expected these things when picking up this book. It's the perfect read for when you just want an easy Paranormal Romance and you don't care it's full of tropes that are done to death.
I don't think I'll pick up another book in this series though as the writing isn't that great and there's tons of better written PNR out there that's similar when it comes to the story.
Why should you read it:
It's an easy PNR read
This book is currently unavailable in print, but will release with an new cover on 28 March 2013

Styles from the 1960s
Updos - Page 1
Remember when the only way a guy could get a view of a nape was when a woman put her hair up in a beehive or similar style. Slicked back with a otn of hairspray. Yes I remember the 1960s. Well vaguely ... the latter end of the 1960s that is ... especially the last pic on this page. Love 'em, or hate 'em you have to admire the scaffolding engineers who concocted them!

Popcorn Popping Oil
When it comes to choosing an oil to pop your corn, there are many choices, each having its own unique flavor profile. Coconut oil is less calorie dense, but contains a lot of saturated fat. Peanut oil is considered a tasty, healthy choice, but is more expensive than the rest. Sunflower and vegetable oil are low fat, affordable, and have a mild taste.

Well it's Chelsey's anniversary so I had to drop this off at her house this morning (since it's too darn big to send in the mail - I love 5.5x5.5 cards, but they're a pain to make envelopes for).
And before you start with me, I do have posts for the last day of Napa getting it's final touches....I blame the wine (and flaky internet on the last day). It'll be up later.
Back to the aforementioned Viva La Verve Week 2 sketch. Like Marisa, I LOVED this one - thanks Teresa! So much fun to play with and the colors were a Splitcoast Color Challenge 347.
Anyways, I it was the first I'd gotten to use my jotted heart die, as well as inked up anything from my Small Phrases set. I also got some stitching practice, as well as twine bow tying.
Now I can't stop thinking about how much more I could do with this sketch and wanting to play with it - just like others!
Happy Birthday, Chels!

Curious, the slide says 56 kWh. I thought the battery pack was 53 kWh?
They went back and forth on that I think. It started out as 56kWh then changed to 53kWh early on. Perhaps they decided to de-rate the pack a bit (not charge to 100%) for longevity reasons?
Still works for me.

Two pints of beer almost covers half of the adult daily requirement of magnesium, 40% of your necessary phosphorus and 20% of your needed potassium. On the other hand, beer is very low in sodium and calcium.

These photos were taken spur of the moment after a shoot I did for Hollywood Regency. The sun was starting to set and Perry wanted to practice and dilly around before it got too dark.
1/2 set I am in the garden. 1/2 set I am in a clover patch in my lingerie and stockings.
This photo is from last year, but I wanted to share anyway. I am wearing a 1940's "cock" dress and late 40's early 50's hat. This dress was actually sold later on at Hollywood Regency, to a wonderful woman who became a friend of the store and of mine. I think she actually looks better in the dress than I do! Hah! She tells me she gets so many compliments on it when she wears it to work. This makes me happy to no end!!

This article aims to give potential site owners and clients, a quick idea about Web Design Joomla vs WordPress, so they can confidently choose a platform and move forward with their project. Rather than focus too heavily on the technical details of these two systems, I just offer a quick compare/contrast broken into sections. In most cases you'll find WordPress suitable for your endeavors, and Joomla seems a likely alternate. I started off in web design as a Joomla expert, and added WordPress to my repertoire quickly thereafter, now equally servicing both technologies. The ingredients that go into each particular site can make choosing between a CMS, such as Joomla or WordPress daunting. It doesn't help that both of these CMS systems compete extremely well with one another. Without a little previous web experience, the choice can go from challenging to difficult. Here's a few things to consider that will help you make an educated choice.
Joomla and WordPress Look Different in the Admin Area
The first thing you'll notice that differentiates the two systems is the look and feel of the back-end user interface. Your Joomla or WordPress site will have a front-end facing customers and visitors, and a back-end for use in administering the site. With both platforms, a login address will allow you entry via your user name, and a secret password. Only approved people can access your secured area. Once you log in there are menus and options that allow you to navigate your content and indulge your feature-rich fantasies, but Joomla's layout doesn't match the WordPress layout. Both interface designs seem intuitive and improve the learning curve, but if you're used to Joomla, then switching to WP could throw you. That's why one of the most important questions right away: Which system are you already/most familiar with? You've probably heard of WordPress if you haven't heard of Joomla, but which system have you personally used more? Please, check out the following shots of the admin areas for each system and then proceed to the next section!
Research Your Solution with a CMS + Plugin Demo
Don't just pick a system off of preference alone. It make a heck of-a-lot-of sense to first demo the CMS along with the extension or plugin you need. Often times, these plugins can cost you a $100 or so. Many times the developers will allow trial testing. Without a demo, you're driving in the dark without headlights. If you commit to untested solutions, you WILL face hidden obstacles, and likely they will surprise and upset your budget when you require custom development to push past obstacles. A lot of great sites are more about sharing information, and don't have advanced functions, but everyone at least needs a superb contact form. Well, that's not enough to pick a winner, but if you need advanced forms, then I can immediately recommend WordPress + Gravity Forms! Joomla doesn't have support for Gravity Forms! That one extension alone makes WordPress an easy pick. The compared extension on Joomla, ChronoForms 5 has come a long way, but it still can match the ease and versatility of Gravity Forms.
Both Great Systems Run on the Same Tech
Joomla and WordPress seem frighteningly similar, they just use slightly different jargon to describe very similar features. Even the underlying code looks similar, both systems use a MySQL Database to store data, while processing with PHP programming language, and rendering your pages as HTML. It's a great way to make your website into so much more than a collection of static pages. Joomla and WordPress have solid support. You can't call a rep, but you can post on forums and get answers from volunteers. For the dedicated business person you can hire and consult with an expert. Naturally there's a variance in pay across the skill level of the person you hire, and it's probably worth it to discuss: What to look for when hiring a web expert. The bottom line though, you won't be standing in the cold when something goes wrong with your site. My guess there are over 30,000 people actively seeking employment in these systems alone, and probably over 2 million people that can help you with web in general.
WordPress Seems a Little More Popular than Joomla
WordPress seems a little more popular than Joomla, but some of their early popularity is due to a blogging platform that runs with the same name; market saturation should not be your sole deciding factor. To start off with try to really think into your project, and consider the advanced function(s) your specific project will require. When solving tough web challenges, you might demo multiple add-ons for each system WordPress and Joomla, because you want the single best possible solution. That takes research, and research saves you money in the long run. Cutting corners during important planning stages ALWAYS dooms a project in my experience, and even some projects with diligent planning don't go through. That's because diligent planning often exposes critical failures in logic, by uncovering hidden challenges! Web business IS tough work and sometimes even experts get lousy results.
Extensions vs. Plugins
Joomla uses apps called extensions. WordPress uses apps called plugins. On both systems these extensions add features and power to your website. The idea was that developers could create their own plugins, and earn additional income, while popularizing opensource software. It worked! 10 years later we have thousands and thousands of ways you can quickly take a plain'ole'blog, and convert it to a lead generating site, or eCommerce store, if that's your thing. My favorite web clients, already have an established brick and mortar operation before they jump to the web. My least favorite types to work with are startups, but every idea that exists has to start somewhere, so why not publish it via opensource software?
Both OpenSource, but Not Free
You can't talk about Joomla or WordPress without at least explaining that opensource software has no cost to purchase, but that doesn't mean free. Countless volunteers and developers work together to update and secure both of these great platforms. Additionally, you need a graphics and web designer, that understands HTML/CSS to craft the pages, menus, fonts, and forms. You might want to consult an expert consultant, who can point out the best paid add-ons. While many of the best plugins are still free, depending on your requiments, you sometimes need some paid software, to run along with your free Joomla, or WordPress which ever platform you pick.
You Could Change Later With Hassle
If you end up with WordPress, even in a scenario where Joomla later seems like a better choice, it won't be the end of the world. The same seems generally true in reverse. Joomla owners shouldn't start smacking their heads against a wall, just because they didn't know about WordPress until they already had their site built. See if you can make due with your current CMS, and if you can't, then get your content migrated by an expert.
Kind of like Apple vs. PC
If you love Apple products and cringe at the mention of Windows or typical PC computing (I'm on Win7 machine right now), then WordPress will likely win out over Joomla. I don't have any hard evidence to support this claim, it's more like a feeling I get, when I use both platforms. People who are used to running PC's sometimes choose Joomla. To say it another way, WordPress has a bit more style for the Admin, and Joomla has a bit more tech power under the hood. At the same time, if you understand your challenge well, then you won't pick based off preference, but rather off performance and advanced functionality. Try to determine which extensions and plugins, you will need. Maybe it's something that's just not available on WordPress right now, while Joomla has an option? Without testing it out, how will you know? Testing or demoing a CMS + Plugin combination, can expose critical gaps, that need to get resolved before you get rolling.
Web Design Joomla vs WordPress
To conclude, a majority of users will find WordPress to fulfill their requirements, with a touch of style. Joomla looks great too as an excellent alternative.

Mcneil Consumer Healthcare Drugs
(1 capsule = 2 mg)Patients should receive appropriate fluid and electrolyte replacement as needed.
Acute Diarrhea
Adults: The recommended initial dose is 4mg (two capsules) followed by 2 mg (one capsule) after each unformed stool. Daily dose should not exceed 16mg (eight capsules). Clinical improvement is usually observed within 48 hours.
Children: In children 2 to 5 years of age (20 kg or less), the non-prescription liquid formulation (IMODIUM® A-D 1 mg/7.5 mL) should be used; for ages 6 to 12, either IMODIUM® Capsules or IMODIUM® A-D Liquid may be used. For children 2 to 12 years of age, the following schedule for capsules or liquid will usually fulfill initial dosage requirements:
Recommended First Day Dosage Schedule Two to five years: 1 mg t.i.d. (3mg daily dose) (13 to 20 kg)Six to eight years: 2 mg b.i.d. (4mg daily dose) (20 to 30 kg)Eight to twelve years: 2mg t.i.d. (6mg daily dose) (greater than 30 kg)
Recommended Subsequent Daily Dosage Following the first treatment day, it is recommended that subsequent IMODIUM® doses (1 mg/10 kg body weight) be administered only after a loose stool. Total daily dosage should not exceed recommended dosages for the first day.
Chronic Diarrhea
Children: Although IMODIUM® has been studied in a limited number of children with chronic diarrhea; the therapeutic dose for the treatment of chronic diarrhea in a pediatric population has not been established.
Adults: The recommended initial dose is 4 mg (two capsules) followed by 2 mg (one capsule) after each unformed stool until diarrhea is controlled, after which the dosage of IMODIUM® should be reduced to meet individual requirements. When the optimal daily dosage has been established, this amount may then be administered as a single dose or in divided doses.
The average daily maintenance dosage in clinical trials was 4 to 8 mg (two to four capsules). A dosage of 16 mg (eight capsules) was rarely exceeded. If clinical improvement is not observed after treatment with 16 mg per day for at least 10 days, symptoms are unlikely to be controlled by further administration. IMODIUM® administration may be continued if diarrhea cannot be adequately controlled with diet or specific treatment.
Children under 2 Years
The use of IMODIUM in children under 2 years is not recommended. There have been rare reports of paralytic ileus associated with abdominal distention. Most of these reports occurred in the setting of acute dysentery, overdose, and with very young children less than two years of age.
No formal pharmacokinetic studies were conducted in elderly subjects. However, there were no major differences reported in the drug disposition in elderly patients with diarrhea relative to young patients. No dosage adjustment is required in the elderly.
Renal Impairment
No pharmacokinetic data are available in patients with renal impairment. Since the metabolites and the unchanged drug are mainly excreted in the feces, no dosage adjustment is required for patients with renal impairment (see PRECAUTIONS section).
Hepatic Impairment
Although no pharmacokinetic data are available in patients with hepatic impairment, IMODIUM should be used with caution in such patients because of reduced first pass metabolism. (see Precautions).

The Dangers of Dom/Sub Gravity
There is a phenomenon of compelling—or irresistible—but groundless attraction that may occur between a dom & sub early-on in their interactions. I call this D/s Gravity. It must be resisted, as it will probably pull one or both of you into a crash landing in unknown terrain.
A dom friend of mine once described one of his first D/s relationships: After meeting, he and this sub fell promptly into master and slave roles, and disappeared into her apartment in Manhattan, sustaining their kinky dynamic around the clock. After a few weeks (neither had a 9-5 job) they somehow surfaced back to their respective vanilla modes, and promptly discovered that they had nothing in common! There the relationship ended, as abruptly as it began.
Just because you have kinky click with someone doesn't mean they're a match for you in any other way. And you absolutely need general chemistry and compatibility to sustain a relationship. It's therefore essential that you verify these before you get kinky with a stranger! OK, that seems obvious reading it here, but it won't be when you meet some attractive devil who proposes to sink his pearly-white teeth into you, or the other way round.
D/s Gravity can emerge before the pair meet face-to-face, by phone or even instant-messaging. (It may, of course, evaporate in the first meeting if real-life chemistry is missing.) Gravity is a risk for both newbies and experienced folks alike; the more hunger you feel for the rich texture of a D/s romance, of giving/taking control, the more susceptible you are to a Gravity event. On the sub's part, falling into psychological subspace (see Subspace article) makes Gravity more intense, for both parties. It may seem to her as if this particular dom is inducing her altered state, when in fact he's merely a catalyst for a process native to her own mind. It may seem to him as if she's inspired to submit by his mere presence, and he may respond to that apparent wish that he take control.
Many players, who wish to take without giving but hide their intentions, will claim dominance and take advantage of D/s Gravity to have their way with a sub, then quickly move on to the next girl. Players are more readily encountered than sincere romantic gentlemen. A bit of healthy, initial skepticism will help a sub recognize when she's being played.
You should avoid or at least resist Gravity events. Firstly, don't play D/s games by phone or text before you meet in-person. A bit of flirting is fine and fun, but giving/taking orders is inappropriate. After meeting, if you're inclined to build a lasting relationship, start off doing activities that you're both into, outside the bedroom. I like to get familiar with a girl by going out dancing. Partner dance affords opportunities for small D/s gestures — how I lead, how I touch her — without providing a setting for serious control or kink.
A responsible dom will realize that Gravity is a risk, and deliberately guide discussion and interaction towards establishing vanilla chemistry and compatibility. He may flirt in kinky terms, but he won't pull the girl into fantasies. He will guide her out of subspace if she falls into it. A responsible single sub realizes her first duty is to herself and her future "owner", and not some intriguing but largely unknown gent who labels himself dominant. She should never take orders or requests from some dude just "because I'm the dom and you're the sub". The formal term for such claims is "B.S."

Holla, it's Friday!
Follow My Book Blog Friday is a weekly meme intended to connect the book blogging community. To join the blogging fun or find other blogs who participated in the meme, check out Parajunkee!
Today's question is: "Inspired by the inane twitter trend of #100FactsAboutMe, give us 5 book-related silly facts about you."
1I smell books– I love old books that have that sort of aged, old smell like they were sitting in a elderly man's library for a couple of decades. If the pages are a bit yellowed and crumbly, so much the better 🙂
2 I try really hard not too, but I book-cheat. If there's a particularly dicey love-triangle, and I'm not sure if the "right" people end up together in the end, I thumb through the book to see if everything turns out the way it should, i.e. they way I want it to.
3I almost always have a book on me- I started this habit in middle school. If I finished my assignments early (nerd alert!), I would pull out a book from my backpack to entertain myself. This habit transformed into bringing books with me to appointments, and now is just a part of what I bring with me everywhere. You never know when a traffic jam or slow doctor will strike- it's better to be prepared.
4I am a reformed Kindle hater- Well, not just the Kindle, but all ebook readers. I love the tangibleness of books- the weight, pages and covers. A physical book is just how reading should be done, right? Well, things changed for me.
I never thought I'd ever be a fan of Kindle, then my husband bought one. We brought it with us on our honeymoon to read during the long flight to France (we went to Paris!). While Tim slept, I decided to give the Kindle a try.
We were on the tarmac, waiting to for all of the passengers to board, and I downloaded Inside Out by Maria V. Snyder. Magically, I was a fan. The download took 60 seconds, and ever since then, the low prices and the quick downloads have kept me a huge lover of Kindle (sometimes lovingly called Kendall). The End.
5 I think tasseled bookmarks are evil- I always buy one thinking, it'll be different this time. No, no…it never is. Things start out great. I'm super excited about my new cute bookmark (sadly, I get very excited about these sorts of things). Then, the tassel frays within 24 hours, shredding to bits and leaving me with a naked piece of cardboard. *sigh*
What are a few book-related facts about you? Anything as silly or crazy as mine? 😉

Research and analysis
Trade facilitation: rapid evidence assessment
Review of the evidence on the impact of trade facilitation on trade performance.
The objective of this rapid evidence assessment is to review the evidence on the impact of trade facilitation on trade performance. In particular, the assessment focused on the following questions: what has been the impact (on trade costs, volumes and values) of different types of trade facilitation interventions in developing countries and which factors lead to positive and negative impacts?
The key findings of this rapid evidence assessment on trade facilitation are:
- trade facilitation reduces trade costs and increases trade flows
- improvements in infrastructure, customs efficiency and regulatory environment have the greatest impact on trade
- the effectiveness of trade facilitation interventions is context specific
- impact evaluations and case studies help to highlight what works best, where and why, and can contribute to better design of trade facilitation interventions.

One last item I like to have on my wall is plates! Do you remember the plate wall I put up in our old house. If not, here it is.
As soon as I painted our dining room, I could not wait to hang up my plate wall. Only this time, my plate wall was going to be a little different. I was going to use all lace edge plates. I have been collecting them here and there for two years, and I just found a big one to be the centerpiece of the display.
I started to hang it up, and I quickly realized, I didn't like it. What?!? Months of collecting, and I didn't like it? I was only half way done, but I have left the plates up for a few weeks, trying to figure out what could be the problem. Here is what it might be....
1. I just hung it up quickly without measuring. I had good intentions, but not the patience.
2. The lines on the paneling are throwing me off.
3. The buffet lamps make it difficult to judge. Maybe they need to go.
4. The wall color is wrong and everything just washes out on the wall.
As much as I hate it, I'm really leaning towards #4. This paint color that I put so much work into, I don't think I like. I haven't made up my mind yet, but I have a gallon of paint left over from painting my living room. I loved that color and it just might get used in the dining room.
Right now, I think I am going to make a sign with our monogram on it, and put some lace edge plates around the sign. I'll let you know when I get it done. As to repainting the entire room, we'll see.
Sometimes in your home, your best plans just don't work out. Sometimes things look good in your head, but they look different in real life. Sometimes you have to move to plan B.

For those of you who don't know, Camping is the witless wonder who was surprised ("flabbergasted" was his word) when the world didn't start ending last May 21. He's rejigged his "calculations" and now he gets October 21 as the universal expiration date. Before his last deadline, I wrote the above-noted blog, offering Camping a deal, wherein basically I become his god's fuck-buddy if he's right, but if he's wrong he owes me everything he has in this world.
I'm not surprised he didn't reply. He probably didn't even find out about it.
But my hope springs eternal. And since we've got another few days, I can hope that this time someone brings my post to his attention and that he accepts my challenge.
However, I want to change the deal. If he's right, I still promise to be his god's fuck-buddy for eternity. This is a pretty strong deal for an atheist to make. In return, however, Camping can keep his worldly possessions. Instead, if I win the wager, Camping has to pucker up and kiss my bare atheist ass, on camera, which I will then post.
So, Camping, have you any balls at all? Or are you just a stupid coward like all the other doomsday sayers throughout history? I think you're a demented waste of life. Prove me wrong.

A SIM set in Kyoto but not modelling Kyoto, the complexity of place in Second LIfe
PONTOCHO: Virtual Geisha // Maiko & Geisha Training
Description: "Home to the Pontocho Hanamachi Okiya/Ochaya set in an authentic modern Kyoto. Japan Geisha Training Geiko Education Maiko kimono onsen tea ceremony teahouse tea house dance school odori kabuki theatre museum onsen asian Japanese Nihon Nippon edo jinja"
This place is really lovely and the neo-tribe of Japanese Geishas put on some lovely shows in Second Life. But though it sure look a lot like Kyoto it is no way a model of Kyoto. This is what distinguishes a Second Life, where people set up "stages" to RP any place they want from a Twinity, where a real world map structures the model to make a one to one mapping between a virtual place and a real place.
Where Second Life's open SIM architecture works best in the creation of fantasy spaces, in the making of RP movies where a group of people come together to stage things. Second Life is a kind of early version of the next kind of Hollywood. Twinity on the other hand provides a framework for creating virtual objects that relate directly to real world places.

Old Faithful Wabi-sabi Beard Oil 15mlBy:
Old FaithfulSize: 30ml
Currently not in stock. Receive an email when back in.
Wabi-sabi - Finding beauty in imperfection.
And your day was long. Your head's all over the place and you're looking for something solid to relax with...
Wabi-sabi is what you're looking for. A scent for the evening with earthy, smoky Vetiver tones. Wearing Old Faithful's Wabi-sabi on your beard feels like plunging into a Sandalwood tub in the Japanese countryside with a bottle of something cool to round off the day while the sun sets through the cedar.
Notes: Base of Sandalwood and the earthy tones of Vetiver. The scent lifts through a warm, woody middle note to fresh dry oriental woods.
- All natural high quality essential oils - Organic, unrefined and cold pressed oils - Conditions beard and skin - Professional blend for quick absorption - Scent: Woody/Warm/Earthy
The Blend
Camellia Seed Oil
Famed for its hair nourishing properties by the women of Japan & China. A hair growth stimulator, excellent at treating the beardruff and dry, itchy underskin!
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba is a liquid wax that forms a light barrier around your beard helping to lock in moisture making sure it's well hydrated. Very similar to the sebum in your skin it dissolves any oily build-up which can lead to problems.
Argan Oil
Infamous for it's hair nourishing properties. Super high in vitamin E antioxidant. Argan is excellent at helping to protect your well crafted beard from the elements. Keep it hush though..your girlfriend will be envious!
Broccoli Seed Oil
Excellent hair conditioning oil. Smoothes out dry frizzy hair creating high sheen and luster with added protection. Keeping that beard tight!
Why Beard OilYour beard takes a lot of time and a lot of cultivation. It's a part of who you are. It makes sense to treat it right. Old Faithful Beard Oil makes a beard smoother, look tighter and generally improves the appearance and feel. Whether it's a close trim or a full on woodsman, beard oil is what you need to keep you looking sharp.
How to use Old Faithful Wabi-sabi Beard Oil 15mlRub a small amount of oil into the palm of your hands. Work through the beard with fingers making sure it spreads evenly. Massage into skin. For best results, apply to warm, damp beard after a shower or bath. It's also fine to apply to a dry beard whenever you feel the need. How long will it last me? It depends on the beard! The bigger and drier beards need more oil to soak up. We've found that a 30ml bottle of Old Faithful lasts most people between 2 to 3 months. In that time, you'll notice a huge difference in the quality of your beard. Old Faithful Beard Oil is handmade in small batches and bottled in amber bottles for maximum freshness. You should use it within 6 months to get the most of the essential oils. After that you may notice that it's just not quite as fresh anymore.
Ingredients in Old Faithful Wabi-sabi Beard Oil 15mlCamellia oleifera (Tea) seed oil, Simmondsia chinensis (Jojoba) seed oil, Argania spinosa (argan) kernel oil, Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) Seed Oil, Tocopherol (vitamin e), Santalum austrocaledonicum (Sandalwood) oil, Cinnamomum camphora (Ho wood) oil, Salvia Sclaria (Clary Sage) oil, Chamecyparia obutusa (Hinoki) oil, Picea mariana (Black Spruce) oil, Canarium luzonicum (Elemi) oil, Vetiver Zizanoides (Vetiver) oil, *Benzyl Alcohol, *d-Limonene, *Linalol. * naturally occurring in essential oils. 100% of the Ingredients are of natural origin. 97.5% of the Ingredients are certified organic.
