These changes included implementing geo-processing services and calling these directly from the toolbar, replacing a more convoluted process of uploading and processing personal geodatabases.
LMDB is an ArcGIS-based system used in NSW to record details of proposed on-ground NRM activities. It is used by NRM organisations around NSW to review proposed projects and to support the development of agreements with landholders. It comprises a central server and an ArcGIS desktop custom toolbar, providing the LMDB tools and functions, which exports locally created projects to the central repository where they are shared with others.
"I think we need to pop the champers for this one!!" Lestyn Taylor of the NSW Northern Tablelands Local Lands Services stated. Lestyn was referring to a new release of the Land Management Database (LMDB) toolbar which we had recently released. This toolbar had exported (uploaded) his project to the cloud server in little more than one second – a process that in earlier versions of the toolbar (before Spatial Vision took over its management) may have taken 5 minutes or more.

I'm here today spreading the lurve!
This is my DT make for Crafting for all Seasons and the theme is "Show us some Romance".
The image I have used is called "Lots o love octopus" from Meljens and this little cutey can be found here.
I have used the "dotty" technique to colour him in, with my Promarkers. I have used Frantage around the edge of the image, and used a gauze swab (because I think it looks like a wave) and some buttons (my pebbles on the beach).
Now it's over to you.....get all lovey dovey and "Show us some Romance"!
Our sponsor for this challenge is Meljens Designs with FOUR digis up for grabs.

#WPC13 Microsoft Enterprise Services/Dynamics Partner Roundtable
On Thursday, Microsoft was kind enough to invite the some key partners to attend a briefing on how Microsoft Consulting services will approach CRM and AX in FY2014 and how MCS will work with Partners in the same year.
As expected, MCS is going to continue its focus (at least in the Dynamics space) to large, global AX deals and large CRM deals in order to provide an enterprise presence. I've been pretty vocal about my dislike of MCS coming into our space so let me go on record as saying "I may have been a little wrong".
The sales and services mgt teams made some commitments to the partner channel last year about how they would behave and how they would not encroach on partner businesses. A year later, I can tell you that they held to their word and are approaching the channel with a very partner friendly face. HOWEVER, they are also being pretty clear – they'll work with us in deals and protect us if they are brought in, but we have to be operationally tight and good at what we do. I think that's fair.
I am fortunate to work for a company that has global mindshare in a vertical, so I am exposed to these guys a little more than most. I am excited to deepen that relationship over the next year.
#wpc13 Massive Microsoft Reorg Announced
Read the following: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/Press/2013/Jul13/07-11OneMicrosoft.aspx
This is really big news.
In addition to this, MS announced a major staff layoff of PAM and Existing Customer staff so as to focus more attention on the growth and revenue generating partners. Essentially, they will nationalize and centralize the PAM roles and focus on fewer partners. The lower tier will be managed by national TSEM's (telephone based sales reps). The lifestyle firms will be managed via a call center.
Both of these announcement are VERY good for Dynamics partners investing in customer add or revenue growth (assuming that growth ties to software revenue for MS). They are not so good for partners that a solely growing revenue through VAR changes or are running a lifestyle business.
This is a continuation of MS aligning itself internally to match the exterrnal #oneMicrosoft message we've been hearing about.
Dynamics AX and Enterprise Agreements–What Next?
At WPC2012, Microsoft, to the thud of jaws dropping and the jackhammer staccato of CEO hearts, announced that Dynamics AX would be sold under Microsoft Enterprise Agreements. In addition, any customer on an EA that already owns AX can place maintenance payments on the EA. The program starts September 1 2012.
For those of you unfamiliar with EA's, you can look here. In essence, it's a three year contract with MS to license large amounts of software at a rather significant discount. Although technically sold by a partner (in this case a Large Area Reseller), the majority of the work in doing an EA is done direct by the Microsoft Enterprise sales team.
Given that much of the partner channel's financial model is built off the sale of software directly to the client for a fairly decent slice of margin, this has two immediate effects:
- Panic, terror and riot
- An elimination of margin and replacement with a CSA fee, claimed from MS, payable (we assume) over the three year period in an amount much less than that one would get from selling directly to the client.
I'm not arguing whether the change is right or wrong. Instead, I've been thinking about the possible outcomes of this in the next 12 to 24 months. Here are some of my thoughts on such possibilities:
Will Microsoft truly sell direct to the Enterprise ERP customer?
To some degree. However, let's not forget that MS does not already have a competent group of direct ERP salespeople. The have good some good technical specialists and some good channel sales people, but they have very few that can actually pursue a lead to closure. To build that team, they'll have to hire competitively against the partner channel and the main software competitors. And, they'll have to pay out the wazoo to do so since these are scarce resources. Given that, I assume they will focus their attention on the very largest of opportunities worldwide, rather than trying to close very deal.
If they sell direct, will they do all the demo work?
Good question. One assumes that if they act like SAP, they would close the software deal and walk in a systems integrator. But they are chronically short staffed in these areas. So we have to assume they can't serve the entire sales cycle for all Enterprise deals and will instead depend on partner relationships where a) the deal is off their critical radar or b) the deal is driven by a vertical solution the partner has tied up (like process mfg or distribution). The fear here is that AX will be just like CRM – the partner still carries the majority burden of lead generation expenses and gets almost nothing in software margin in return.
If they sell direct, what happens to services?
In case you missed it, Microsoft Consulting services is enjoying yet another rebirth in ERP (and in CRM). They are focused on building massive amounts of staff in ERP and CRM, most of the ERP staff being AX. The SSP's in the region have a good size commission in their plan for bringing in MCS, so I assume they will. However, like the sale side of the house, MSC can't get to every deal, so I think they'll focus on the top global opportunities. Where they don't have vertical expertise, given my past experience with them, they'll either fake it and fail or find a partner to provide staff but project manage everything under their paper. The big problem here is the SSP's – with them being comp'd on bringing in MCS, they, quite rightly, will probably introduce every deal to them. Hopefully, MCS will pick and choose and the SSP will then take it to a partner, but, again based on past experience, I think it more likely that MCS will talk to them, set expectations and then the partner will get involved. The customer will be confused, the partner will feel pressure to match whatever MCS said, then MCS will want to manage the deal sub-contracting work to the partner under their paper. This way, the claim the top line revenue and expand their reach, but don't really have to fight the hard battle of hiring qualified staff.
Are we going to lose maintenance dollars?
Yeah, probably, for any customer that is already on EA and owns AX.
Is all we have left small deals?
Hell no. There is plenty of moving room in the market for everyone. However, I do think it will be easier to fly under the MS radar or outside their flight path than to try and compete in the same market. Specifically, if you have defendable space in a vertical, have your own IP, and/or service a geographic territory in which MS isn't interested, you have a better chance of being unaffected.
Is MS really serious about this and about selling direct?
To answer the first, yes. They aren't turning back. To answer the second, we'll see. My fear is that someone up the executive chain had this conversation – "Look guys, we did the same thing with CRM. The partner channel bitched about the margin cut, but still went on absorbing the majority of the direct sales expense via SE's and Pre-sales demo resources. They'll do the same thing with AX, we'll just have to suck up maybe a quarter of confusion. Frankly, the partner's are so addicted to the business model that they don't have a choice. So, don't worry about this. Things will be fine, we'll give away less margin, and our sales will continue climbing."
I can't claim that conversation happened. I just fear it did and this is the mindset underlying the strategy.
Overall, if my guesses are right, here's what I recommend:
- Clean up your sales and marketing expense, specifically your cost to acquire new accounts. If you can't cut it in half, you are going to be in trouble.
- Be profitable on professional services – for the entire company. Make software margin the nice whip cream on top but make certain you keep the company running and viable solely on services.
- To that end, find and establish space in a vertical and start looking at IP.
- Scale up or sell out. If you are not large, merge with another partner. If you are an ISV, this probably doesn't matter quite as much. Same with a very unique niche player. For the rest of us, we better get bigger or risk being left behind.
- Spend time making certain the SSP's in your market know and trust you. Don't worry about MS national – focus local. Do it consistently. The first time MCS burns an SSP (and they will) you need to be there ready to pick it up.
- And, most importantly, I think its time to diversify the revenue base away from ERP software and consulting. I'll probably write more on this later, but if you've already spent a ton of money to acquire a customer, don't re-spend it on a new one. Find more services (like BI and Sharepoint) to sell to existing customers.
WPC2012 Day 1 – Keynote
#WPC12: Just finished with the keynote. A predictable event chock full of Ballmer energy, weak marketing-run corporate humor (was it really funny that Roskill came in on a bike?), and introduced by a well executed but astonishingly random Cirque du Soleil performance (fire and drums as a metaphor for MS commitment to partners?).
Looking past that, the content was solid. Here's what I picked out:
1. Office 365 Open licensing: We can now resell on our own invoice O365. Not certain if CRM is included in this (it should be), but this is a big step.
2. Social Enterprise and Office 15. They are hanging a lot of hopes on both, esp Yammer and Sharepoint. As a big fan of SP and new adoptee of Yammer, I think this is well guided.
3. Windows 8: Tami Reller did a fantastic hands on overview, with surprisingly good detail, on feature set and new hardware devices. GA is Oct – color me smitten.
4. MS = Hardware: Ballmer announced the acquisition of Perceptive Pixel, a cutting edge large format, touch screen hardware vendor. Think Surface on steroids on a wall. It is just flat out AWESOME.
More later.
I'm in Toronto at WPC 2012 to find out what new delights Microsoft has in store for us (lower margins? MCS competing against us in AX deals? Another cut in partner benefits?). The keynote starts in 15 min, but a few thousand aren't going to make it – MS only setup about 10 registration lines at Air Canada Centre to service the 20,000 attendees.
More later.
The New Gold: How is the New MPN Affecting You?
As part of my responsibilities as COO of IBIS, I manage our competency requirements with Microsoft. So, together with Andy Vabulas, the owner of IBIS and Bill Forsyth, the President, I was right in the thick of the recent changes to the Partner Network.
We moved from something like 10 competencies to 3 (with one more planned before end of Q1) and also received our Manufacturing and Distribution industry badges. I'm proud we can do this in a sustainable way, mostly because we are only a 65 person firm so having that kind of depth is a testament to the focus our team has on continuing education and development.
Here are my thoughts on the changes:
- I believed that the "old" Gold was relatively meaningless, so I am happy to see the new "beefier" Gold requirements. If we spend time with clients helping them understand the effort it takes to hit the requirement, we have a good chance of making it meaningful in the sales cycle.
- I'm happy to see that MS is finally requiring certifications from the selling side of the channel. I think seeing pre-sales and sales staff spend a little time in training and testing will help overall quality, at least with respect product knowledge.
- I loved the inclusion of SureStep (pardon me, "methodology") as part of the certification. I'm a fan of SureStep (because I no longer have to maintain a custom written methodology) so getting this in the cert set is good for me.
- I wish they had set the revenue commits higher AND created a better "Associate" or "Referral" program to better create an incentive for smaller and larger partners to work together. Ideally, I would have like to see encouragement of LifeStyle partners to align with a reselling partner just like systems integrators buy from LARs. Today, instead, I am seeing large consolidators come into existence whose only role in the life is to create conglomerates of small partners. Selfishly, I would have liked to see IBIS as one of these but perhaps allowing non-selling consolidators to, in essence, be a LAR is better than having large partners (who are trying to please clients) distracted by such a role.
- The site transition, despite all the prep work they did, was really rough. We got through it okay, but it took at extraordinary amount of my time to push everything through on deadline.
- Lastly, I really, really wish they had kept the consulting certs simpler.
To the last point, for both CRM and ERP (using AX as an example) you have multiple cert tracks (application, configuration, installation). MS required six separate people, used in no other competency, to pass the required exams in each track but did not require, say, 6 full blown MCTIPs, 2 in each area. The latter, for me, would have been easier to manage and, in fact, what we did was just ask everyone to get their MCITP on the most recent version and then make certain we had all the various tracks covered.
In summary, for us it was a good, but time consuming change. It will be interesting to look back in a couple of years and see what unintended changes this creates in the partner channel.
Vertical focus only makes sense for Microsoft
Author: Curtis Beebe
Microsoft's "verticalization" of their Dynamics channel makes all the sense in the world from a Microsoft channel management perspective. The designation of vertical specialties gives Microsoft an objective approach to resolving channel conflict, assigning leads, and providing sales & marketing support. At first glance, this is one of those "blinding flashes of the obvious" that will enable partners to sell better, reduce sales cycle time, reduce the cost of sales, and stay focused in a specific area of expertise.
The problem is that it doesn't work. The first issue is that the Dynamics products, just like all of the Microsoft products, are horizontal by nature and design. Sure there are some ISV's that provide a bit of industry specialization, but ERP and CRM solutions are inherently NOT vertical solutions. They are designed to provide processes and functionality across a range of business types.
That brings us to the second problem. Because they've been selling horizontal products, most partners have grown their businesses horizontally. Some of the savvy partners have developed industry specific knowledge and terminology to help them sell, but the solutions remain fundamentally horizontal. As a result of the horizontal approach, partners tend to look at their customer's businesses based upon the business process groups that are being automated: process manufacturing, discrete manufacturing, professional services, wholesale distribution, depot management, etc.
The big disconnect is that Microsoft is trying to define the customer's business based upon SIC codes. The SIC codes are focused on the type of product being manufactured, sold, or distributed, rather than the general business process group: one business process could map to dozens of different SIC codes. The result is that partners are trying to manipulate the lead distribution system by selecting all of the hot, unassigned SIC codes within their geographies rather than truly focusing their business.
This effort is doomed to become just lip service that partners pay to Microsoft in order to ensure they get their share of distributed leads.

NZ guest nights continue to rise in December
Article – BusinessDesk
Feb. 15 (BusinessDesk) – New Zealand guest nights rose 4 percent in December from a year earlier as the number of international visitors continued to rise and many traveled to the South Island.By Rebecca Howard
Feb. 15 (BusinessDesk) – New Zealand guest nights rose 4 percent in December from a year earlier as the number of international visitors continued to rise and many traveled to the South Island.
Total guest nights increased to 4.14 million in December from 3.98 million a year earlier, Statistics New Zealand said. Of that, international guest nights rose 6.2 percent to 1.93 million, outpacing a 2.1 percent gain in domestic accommodation stays to 2.22 million.
North Island stays rose 2.1 percent to 2.37 million and South Island guest nights gained 6.5 percent to 1.77 million. On the South Island, international guest nights lifted 8.3 percent to 1 million while domestic guest nights were up 4.2 percent to 767,000. On the North Island, however, international guest nights lifted 4 percent to 921,000 while domestic guest nights were up 1 percent to 1.45 million.
"South Island growth was driven by more international guest nights being spent in Canterbury, Otago, and Southland regions than in December 2016. Canterbury guest nights had been dampened in December 2016 following the Kaikōura earthquakes in November," said accommodation statistics manager Melissa McKenzie.
Ten of 12 regions reported an increase in guest nights. The largest increases were in Canterbury, where guest nights lifted 12 percent on the year to 572,000 and Otago, where they were up 4.8 percent to 632,000. Auckland was unchanged from the prior year while Nelson, Marlborough Tasman slipped 0.2 percent.
New Zealand has been enjoying a booming tourism sector in recent years as low airfares made it easier for visitors to travel to the remote South Pacific destination.
The occupancy rate across accommodation types lifted to 50.4 percent in December, the highest since March, and up from 49.2 percent a year earlier.
Today's figures show hotel guest nights, typically favoured by foreign visitors, rose 5.3 percent to 1.3 million in December from a year earlier, with international stays up 7.4 percent to 699,000. Hotel occupancy was 70.5 percent in the month, compared to 69.2 percent a year earlier.
Motel stays increased 0.8 percent to 1.17 million, with a 7.8 percent gain from international visitors to 475,000 offsetting a 3.5 percent decline in domestic guest nights to 691,000. Motel occupancy was 62.1 percent versus 62.5 percent in December 2016.
Backpacker guest nights rose 1 percent to 512,000 with an occupancy rate at 50.8 percent compared to 50.3 percent a year earlier, while holiday park stays gained 7.2 percent to 1.16 million at an occupancy rate of 31.1 percent, up from 29 percent.

Did Toyota Supra specs just leak from a Japanese car magazine?
The latest issue of Japan's Best Car has a bunch of Supra information
February 12, 2018
The next Toyota Supra is still coming -- we just don't know when or what, exactly, it'll be like. So far, we're sure that it'll share a powertrain with its co-developed BMW Z4 sibling -- but that's about it. Of course, we've seen spy shots and renderings, so we've got a good idea of what it's going to look like when it hits the street, but now Japan's Best Car magazine might have leaked all the numbers necessary to get a concrete idea of what the Supra will be.
According to the folks at the MkV Supra forums, who translated the magazine's Japanese copy, the next Supra will have a 97.2-inch wheelbase and be 172.4 inches long, 73 inches wide and 50.8 inches tall. That makes it about 5.4 inches shorter in total length and 1 inch taller road-to-roof than the previous-generation Supra.
Car Life
Throttle-Back Thursday: The Toyota Celica Supra is here...but what, exactly, is it?
With the new Toyota Supra coming our way...eventually, it's a good time to revisit its fairly humble roots. In the July 30, 1979 issue of Autoweek, we took stock of the somewhat odd creation -- a ...
The magazine also reports the Supra will us the same 3.0-liter turbocharged I6 that's been speculated for months, as well as an eight-speed transmission (still automatic, unfortunately). Curb weight is cited as 3,284 pounds, and surprisingly, Best Car reported that the new Supra will use 17-inch wheels wrapped in 225/50s in front and 255/45s out back.
If these numbers are close to true, it doesn't look the next Supra is shaping up to be a world-beating supercar. Instead, it appears to be moving back to its luxury GT car roots, more akin to a powerful and well-equipped Toyota 86.

Sheep are mild mannered, pessimistic, shy and sympathetic. Sheep have a tendency to hold back on their emotions. They are thinkers with tremendous creative ability, who prefer to be left undisturbed in their contemplations. Though they have admirable strengths, sheep suffer from a lot of self doubt and need a lot of love and encouragement to ease their constant anxiety.They are the lovers of nature and art. They are also very cultured, creative, well-mannered and charming. While some Sheep are shy and can get easily upset, others are adaptable and when the need be so, they can be sure-footed as well.

Sheep Horoscope Overall Luck in Year 2016
|General Forecast
Flying Star & 24 Mountain Chart for the Sheep in 2016
In terms of Flying Star, the Sheep enjoys excellent fortune thanks to the presence of the #8 Wealth Star. Additionally, the power of this Prosperity Star is enhanced by the Earth element of the South West sector. This means 2016 is a great year for the Sheep to start new ventures, expand and diversify business sources as chances of success are very good.
In the 24 Mountains Chart however, the stars are not very friendly as the Sheep sits on the Yearly Killings and is flanked by the Yin House and 3 Killings Stars. All three stars bring bad news so the Sheep should be mindful of these afflictions, especially the Yin House Star which is associated with death. Remember to keep the very sick or elderly away from the South West 1 sector. Boost the earth energy of this sector with Crystal Balls and wear protective amulets to ward off these potentially lethal stars.
Though the Flying Stars and 24 Mountains provide a general luck indication of each animal sign, the personal outlook of every person is also dependent on the heavenly stem element of his year of birth. The following chart summarizes the luck profile of the different element Sheep, based on their year of birth.
Luck Elements of the Sheep in 2016
The Fire and Metal Sheep enjoy good health luck this year but the Wood and Earth Sheep must be mindful of their health and strengthen themselves with health and longevity amulets such as Wu Lous, Medicine Buddha and Peach symbols. The Water and Earth Sheep are blessed with good wealth luck and thus enjoy a cosy year with stable income and financial strength. On the other hand, money problems may plague the Fire and Metal Sheep. Use Wood (plants, green or brown colors) to strengthen Fire and Earth (Crystals, brown or yellow colors) to fuel Fire. This will help to improve your personal wealth luck. On the happy side, the Sheep's luck for 2016 is good partly due to your excellent success potential. All Sheep, irrespective of their element, enjoy great success luck as your Wind Horse or Lung Ta is at peak levels this year. This puts the Sheep in a very good position to capitalize on whatever opportunities coming your way in 2016. Place the Power Elephant or Wind Horse on your work desk to increase your stamina and confidence. The life force and spirit essence readings is neutral – this leads to indecision in many areas of your life, whether someone is trustworthy or making long term commitment to loved ones.

Youtube is without a doubt one of the greatest websites for getting traffic ever to have hit the Internet. People are always thirsty for videos to watch, and if you can captivate an audience, then you can get them to click on a link to your website.
Most people, though, shy away from the thought of creating a video and uploading it to the Internet for the world to see, as they become self conscious. What if it's not good enough, what if they don't like me…?
My advice? Don't worry about that stuff, just do it. You will find that nobody leaves you negative comments, and if they do, just delete them! Don't let the opinions of people who are usually less successful than you decide what to do. Youtube is amazing for fast, quality traffic, so start to build a Youtube channel now!
You don't even need to get in front of the camera!
Even though I'm sure all my readers are hunks and babes, if you don't physically want to get in front of the camera, than that is fine. In fact, until your video making skills are more refined, I don't recommend it. Instead, I recommend that you do screencast videos.
Either make tutorial videos, or informational videos that are related to your niche. These are easy to make, and you only need to do a voiceover for them. For doing the voiceover, here are some tips I found from a post in the Warriorforum.
"Few tips (used to be a radio presenter)
- When recording promos or audio clips, smile as you speak - it comes out in your voice and actually sounds better if you compare it to when you spoke without smiling
- Replace 'umms / ahhs' with silence - it makes you sound like you're a bit deeper in thought. Annunciation is important with this though, so if your voice sounds trembly and nervous then this method won't work. You will have to consciously record yourself doing this a number of times before this will be automatic
- I'm assuming you're ad-libbing as you go along instead of reading from prepared notes. Record once ad-lib, write down word for word what you intended to say, then re-record with the notes nearby to prompt you. Don't sound like you're reading word for word. It may help to put these into dot form although that depends upon personal preference
- Don't rely on your first recording being the only recording. When you've recorded multiple videos for a long time over and over again then yes, you can use your first recording as it will likely be near-perfect if not perfect for your needs. There were many times I recorded audio snippets and something was just not quite right the first time, and re-recording / producing it again, while more time consuming, paid off."
Make At Least 5 Videos First
Whenever I create a new Youtube channel, I hate looking at just one lonesome video. That's why I always make 5 videos related to each other, and upload them at the same time. It works well if you have 5 thumbnails all with the same color schemes, and then putting those videos into a playlist. This gives your channel a bit of weight, and I think it even helps you out in terms of Youtube SEO, but I'm not sure.
Apart from the fact that it looks better, you will also get 5 times more traffic to your website. Sometimes, you may get loads more than 5 times the amount of traffic, because one of those videos could take off and bring you thousands of hits per month from that one video.
Upload Your Video With SEO In Mind
To get more eyeballs on your videos, you want to optimize your on page options and get seen in more search results, both on Youtube and also in Google. This is pretty easy to do.
- Write a 500 word description for your video, and post it under your backlink
- Have at least 10 tags on your video
- As well as making the title attention grabbing, make sure you include the keywords you're trying to target.
Taking the time and effort to optimize your videos will result in a lifetime of extra traffic for your website, which, with a bit of luck, will make you some extra dosh.
When you've uploaded 5 videos, and you start to see traffic coming in, don't stop there! Set aside time each week to create a video, and upload it to your Youtube channel. Don't just sit back and rest on your laurels. Be proactive and grow your business constantly!

With about 12,000 participants in about 180 dance groups and over a million of visitors, the Kōenji awa odori (高円寺阿波おどり) is one of the biggest summer festivals of Tokyo. On one weekend in August the dance groups parade around the area of the Kōenji JR station (of the Chūō line), performing the traditional fool's dance before huge crowds of onlookers.
Unfortunately, unlike before this year the awa odori was not in the evening but in the afternoon, spoiling the chance for some low-light street photography. Still it was nice to watch the dancers and musicians in their traditional costumes chant and sing as they paraded through the streets.
Note the big crowd of spectators at either sides of the street where the dance groups are performing.

HNN Productions Unveils Poster Art for 'Halloween in a Box' Documentary
For many of us, the Halloween season triggers fond memories of selecting a Halloween costume based on our favorite monsters, superheroes and more. For kids today, picking out just the right costume shares many similarities with the process of the past (Who is my favorite character? Just how scary do I want my costume to be?). However some of the characteristics of classic Halloween costuming for kids have been lost to time. Fortunately, HNN Productions will soon have fans covered on all of the gritty details with a feature-length documentary on the storied history of the classic retail costumes of yesteryear!

Received the official announcement today of two retail stores opening in South End this Summer/Fall. BRIEF, a men's underwear, swimwear and lounge-wear store will redefine how men shop and look. SHU, a ladies shoe, handbag and accessory store will refocus our attention on accessories. The two retail stores will be housed within an 8,200+ square feet building located at 1426 S. Tryon Street on the cross streets of S. Tryon and Winona.
These stores will be a great addition to South End and excited to have Dan the Shoe Man (Dan Mauney) returning to retail and bringing it to South End!
The full press release with more details about BRIEF and SHU are below.
Two Retail Stores Opening in South End
Dan the Shoe Man Returns to Retail
Two retails stores will debut in Historic Southend this summer/fall. BRIEF, a men's underwear, swimwear and loungewear store will redefine how men shop and look. SHU, a ladies shoe, handbag and accessory store will refocus our attention on accessories. The two retail stores will be housed within an 8,200+ square feet building located at 1426 S. Tryon Street on the cross streets of S. Tryon and Winona.
Local guru with decades of successful businesses in Charlotte, Dan Mauney, or Dan the Shoe Man – known by many in the area, is the owner and merchandiser for these two cutting edge stores. With over two years in the planning, Mauney is ready to put his soul into these two stores or better yet, sole and briefs. When asked why Southend, Mauney replied, "I shopped Charlotte over and over for the perfect neighborhood. I found this space early on and kept returning to it. It's perfect. The neighborhood is right!"
Heralding from a successful charity fashion show produced by Mauney, BRIEF, a brick and mortar store, will redefine men's underwear in a 1,000 square feet of space. The shopper will delve into the world of the best designers including internationally known brands such as Calvin Klein, SAXX Underwear, Hugo Boss, Diesel, 2Xist, C-IN2, Parke & Ronen, Hanro, Andrew Christian among many others. The collections of swimwear will offer everything from speedos, square cuts to traditional board shorts. Finally, loungewear will include everything from lounging clothing, weekend casual, athletic and yoga wear, robes, etc. Mauney adds, "With our loungewear, we want to be your go-to source from everything from workout gear to simply lounging around the house." BRIEF will debut this summer.
SHU will be a 4,000 square feet ladies shoe, handbag and accessory store and will offer men's shoes/accessories by spring, 2014. The shoe store returns Dan the Shoe Man back to women's shoes after a two-year hiatus and 21 years in the business. Against a contemporary backdrop of a store design, over 60% of the lines carried in the store will be introduced to the area for the first time. Brands offered include LK Bennett, Schutz, Vince Camuto, BCBG, Andres Assous, Vera Wang, See by Chloe, Navy by Jil Sander, Jean Michel Cazabat, Isola and many others. The store will offer a Wi-Fi lounge, a design center, state-of-the-art technology and numerous store events for the shoe connoisseur. Longtime friend and shoe vendor, Jenifer Cleary from Vince Camuto, stated "I am thrilled that Dan is opening SHU and l look forward to partnering with him on his success! Dan's innate sense of style and sophistication will make SHU "THE" place to shop!" She continues, "Dan is on trend, open minded, bold and daring…I can't wait to see what he has in store for us!" SHU will debut this fall.
Additionally, FLēX, the 3,000+ event space will be utilized for in-house trunk shows, fashion shows, shopping parties and outside parties and events.
Both stores will operate as a brick and mortar store and also have an eCommerce site. For more information, please visit www.shopbrief.com and www.shusalon.com to join the company email lists and follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

Do you have a child in your home that is in the acting industry? Protecting them and their welfare should be a top priority for the parents of any child actor. Here are some steps recommended by our experts at Kids Act LA that you can take to protect your child from fans and predators.
1 - First thing you should stop doing is stop using your child's SSN on their resumes that you send in to different companies. Today, this is no longer a requirement since they are most likely going to ask for a SAG number. If your child is not registered with the Screen Actors Guild, just leave the space blank.
2 - You need to either change your phone number of make it private. Once your phone number is listed online, it will stay that way for a very long time. Sometimes, by changing it to private won't do the trick so you may consider changing the number completely. Once you change it, keep it unlisted from the very beginning.
3 - Constantly review and go through your child's fan mail. Once your child has appeared on a tv show or movie, they will start to get some fan mail from strangers. Your child will think this is really cool at first, but you need to take control over this fain mail. Do not let them read any mail that looks suspicious, especially those from prisons or jails.
4 - Start taking your own digital memory cards to the photographer. You will want to protect your child's raw images that are taken by a photographer. If the photographer insists on using film in addition to your digital memory card, you must make sure to get all negatives. You want to do everything you can to prevent your child photos from showing up on the internet the day after their shoot.
5 - Don't look for agents at the local mall. It is not uncommon for your child to get a flyer in the mail to come to the mail to meet with a talent agent or manager. If this happens, do not go! Many of these individuals or companies make their money by charging you large fees upfront. A good talent manager or agency will take a percentage of what the child makes when they are booked for shows or photo shoots.
6 - Do your homework always! Never, ever, ever, stop learning about the industry that you child is in. You should strive to attend workshops and seminars at least yearly to stay abreast of what is happening in your child's industry.
7 - Provide a strong support structure for your child actor. Believe it or not, your child will be turned down for many opportunities. It is important for them to have a strong support structure to help them is they get down or depressed.
8 - As soon as your child gets their first job, register their name as a website domain. Today, anyone can register a domain name for cheap. Quickly snatch up your child's name so no one can steal it from under you. Domain names are relatively cheap, for about $10 you can secure your child's name in case you ever want to do a website for them.

This is pretty big news if you're like me and don't want to clutter your wrist with anything but your watch. I've been wanting something to keep track of my activity and sleep, but I like wearing a watch and only a watch. Launching later this month at the SIHH Show in Geneva, Switzerland, luxury watchmaker, well known for their white tipped writing instruments, will be presenting the Montblanc Timewalker Urban E-Strap ($425).
The E-Strap connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth and offers a range of functions that include activity tracking, send/receive messages, notifications, music control, and find-me functionality for attached devices. It comes attached to a leather NATO-style strap made by Montblanc's leather factory in Italy. All of this sounds great but the part that is going to send it home for so many is that you can slip this 20 or 22mm strap to any watch you want. Add it to your Montblanc, Omega, Seiko, Rolex, you name it. Now, your luxury timepiece is a smart-luxury timepiece.
At launch, the strap will be compatible with Samsung Galaxy S4, S5, Note 3, Note 4 and other Android devices on 4.3 and up. It also works with the Apple iPhone 4S, 5, 5C, 5S, 6 and 6 Plus. Three new Timewalker Series watches will also launch at the SIHH show, perfectly complimenting the new band. Stay tuned for more later this month.

WASHINGTON — With grocery stores pulling tons of tainted meat out of their freezers, a food industry spokesman urged Congress to radically strengthen food regulators' powers.
WASHINGTON — With grocery stores pulling tons of tainted meat out of their freezers, a food industry spokesman urged Congress to radically strengthen food regulators' powers.
The House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee for Oversight put food companies in the hot seat on Tuesday, a little over a week after the largest meat recall in U.S. history.
Grocery Manufacturers Association Vice President Robert Brackett chided both the Bush administration and Congress for not giving the Food and Drug Administration more funding to inspect food safety at company plants.
"Because FDA food-related funding has not kept pace with inflation, more than 800 scientists, inspectors and other critical staff have been lost in the past four years," said Brackett, who served as director the agency's food safety director until last year.
In an unusual move for an industry spokesman, Brackett also urged Congress to give FDA the authority to order a company to recall tainted food if the company does not volunteer. Currently the agency works with producers to organize voluntary recalls.
The association's members include ConAgra Foods Inc., Kraft Foods Inc. and Nestle USA Inc.
Democratic lawmakers have already drafted proposals to give FDA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture power to order such actions. FDA regulates processed food whereas the Agriculture department oversees livestock and poultry.
"Waiting on the company to make the decision is like the fox guarding the hen house," said Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo. "My constituents are shocked to learn that these agencies do not have this authority."
Government regulators only learned of the problems that led to the Feb. 17 Westland/Hallmark Meat Co. recall after the U.S. Humane Society exposed video of conditions at the company's Chino-based slaughterhouse.
The video showed workers kicking and shoving sick and crippled cows and forcing them to stand with electric prods, forklifts and water hoses.
The company's CEO Steve Mendell was invited to speak at the hearing but did not appear. Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman John Dingell, D-Mich., said the committee would consider issuing a subpoena to order Mendell's appearance.
Lawmakers pressed CEOs of companies hit by recent recalls on what they are doing to keep tainted, unsafe products out of the nation's food supply. The companies included: ConAgra Foods, Dole Food Company, Bumble Bee Foods, New Era Canning Co.
ConAgra's Chief Executive Gary Rodkin told lawmakers his company has invested millions of dollars modernizing its food safety controls after two salmonella-related recalls last year.
In October, ConAgra recalled its Banquet pot pies, which were linked to at least 270 cases of salmonella. Before that the Omaha, Neb.-based company recalled its Peter Pan brand peanut butter, which was eventually linked to at least 625 salmonella cases.
After repeated questioning from Rep. Degette, Rodkin said he supports "mandatory recall for any company not cooperating," with regulators. But he stopped short of supporting unequivocal government power to order recalls.

I've been a client of Emilia's Cleaning since 2012. I have a pretty hectic schedule at work and Emilia has been able to accommodate me into their cleaning schedule. Emilia came out for the first time to give me an estimated and gave me a great offer. Over the years, several cleaning crews have cleaned my home and they have done a great job. They are always polite and punctual. I can't say that they have ever done a bad job. Emilia is quick and responsive by email or text, which is what you want when scheduling an appointment.
I'm the president of a Board of Managers for a condominium in Oak Park,IL. We engaged Emilia's Cleaning, Inc. in October of 2012. The initial meeting was professional, to the point, and very thorough. The pricing is very competitive. Since that time we have continued to work with Emilia and have found the service to be extremely dependable and responsive to any concerns. They do a great job. I would highly recommend their services to any individual for your home or business.
Emilia's Cleaning is the best cleaning service I have found in the Chicago area. I have used others in the past and Emilia's beats them in terms of service and price. I was looking for a cleaning service that was affordable yet thorough still and they fit the bill. They clean my condo every two weeks and are very efficient and friendly. Emilia, the owner, is very responsive. I highly recommend Emilia's Cleaning.
I have been using Emilia's Cleaning for a few years now. Emilia and her team are always very responsive and flexible when I need to reschedule. They do a great job cleaning my house and are kind and respectful.
We've been using Emilia's for well over a year now and are very pleased. Sylwia comes to our home once a month and does a spectacular job. Having one person dedicated to our home is a major plus. We never have to explain things over and over again--she just comes to our home, knows where all our supplies are, and gets to work. She pays attention to the details and our house is always left super clean and organized. Price is competitive, and Emilia is very accommodating with scheduling. There were some hiccups initially, and previous reviews from a few years ago might highlight this, but Emilia has taken every step to correct issues. Communication and scheduling are vastly improved, and I have no complaints whatsoever, especially over the last 12+ months. Highly recommended.
I have been using Emilia's cleaning now for 4 years and I could not be happier! I can't say enough positive things about Emilia and her crew. I like working with small businesses, I like being able to speak to the owner and importance that an owner puts on every client request. I also feel that owners have a much higher level of pride in workmanship than what you get from some employee drone at one of the corporate options. Emilia's is certainly no exception. I feel that I am a difficult person to clean for as I always have some crazy involved project going on at my home. I am a small business owner myself, and as such I am constantly filing in my dining room or entertaining clients in my living room. I am VERY pleased with how accommodating Emilia is when I request an oddly timed cleaning date, so that I can entertain clients in my home – they are always available, they are ALWAYS able to accommodate me. More importantly, when I do have a large scale project that runs through a normally scheduled cleaning day, the cleaning person simply cleans around it. She doesn't avoid the entire room, I really feel that she wants my place to be as clean as she can get it, even if there are things in her way. They aren't afraid to move things around and I have NEVER experienced something important being thrown away or placed in a strange location. Everything is done very intuitively and its extremely refreshing to have people that are willing to work with you. In addition, they are VERY available on e-mail, text or phone. Most of my communication is completely via e-mail or text. Emilia get's back within minutes usually – NEVER more than hour. Most other places I work with can barely commit to getting back to you in 24 hours. I can't recommend Emilia's cleaning enough. They are amazing. I couldn't wait to write a review for them, I am so happy with the work they do for me, I really wanted to do something back for them – how many places make you feel that way?
We recently bought a 3-flat and Emilia's was very flexible with coming in and cleaning the unit we needed rented out in a hurry as well as a bathroom in another unit the same day. Great service, will use again in the future. Definitely recommend.
Emilia's company has been cleaning our home for 3-4 years for biweekly to monthly cleaning of our 1800 sf home. We have the same housekeeper each week, she does a great job and is reliable. Their rates are very reasonable, they have been communicative on scheduling changes, and are flexible and reasonable for any add-on services, such as cleaning out the refrigerator.
We have used Emilia's Cleaning for our 3 bedroom Chicago condo for 3 years with good results. Emilia was very thorough and noted our preferences during the initial visit. She is very quick to respond to email requests and scheduling changes, including adding extra cleaning days during "off weeks" when we need them. We have had the same cleaning person for the full 3 years who knows our routines and is very responsive to feedback (which cleaning products to use/not use, which areas need extra attention...). I consider myself a very demanding and particular customer, and I have been satisfied enough with Emilia's to recommend them to friends.
We have received bi-weekly house cleaning services for about 3 months now and I am very happy with the service. The initial appointment was quick, easy, and she quoted me a competitive price. Emilia has sent the same woman, Agatha, to clean our house. Agatha is kind and hard working. She is also very considerate of my children. We will continue to use Emilia's service!
We have received bi-weekly house cleaning services for over 5 years and are happy customers. Emilia herself is very professional and responsive (especially via email). Rates are reasonable, and accounting is thorough. Two-way communication is good both with Emilia and her staff (for example, leaving a note with feedback or ordering supplies). The service is extremely reliable; and even though my schedule changed and became less flexible, we are still able to consistently make things work with good communication.
I have been using Emilia's for the past six months and I am very satisfied. Emilia is always available by text/email to answer any questions, change service dates, or solve any issues. My apartment is cleaned once a month and is left looking great. Fast, convenient, easy!
Now that we have been using Emilia's services for roughly a year, it's time for a review. Our initial contact with Emilia was very positive. She was extremely responsive and accomodating when it came to setting up an initial appointment, her price was very competitive, and there were no hidden fees or hourly charges. The fee is a flat fee which changes depending on the frequency of the service (more frequent, less per cleaning). Since we hired Emilia, our experience has been nothing but positive. She has sent the same employee each and every time, and she has done a wonderful job. If we need to add a service that is not included in the base price, e.g. refrigerator cleaning, it is done very professionally and the price is reasonable. Additionally, Emilia will always respond within hours, if not minutes, when we have to make a schedule change and she is always accomodating. We will continue to use Emilia's service as long as we own our home, and we recommend her to anyone looking for a thorough cleaning service.
Terrific consistent service
Really appreciate having the same person come each time to service my home. Always terrific consistent service. Company flexible when I need to change appointment.
Extraordinarily high quality service, flexibility and response time.
We've been using Emilia's for nearly 3 years for bi-weekly cleaning. We've had the same staff member the entire time, and when she just went out on maternity leave, the company informed us well ahead of time. The new staff member has not missed a beat, she's fantastic. Anytime we need to change the schedule or add a service, someone responds to email within hours. We would recommend Emilia's to anyone.
Great work, good price.
I always look forward to coming home on the day of my home cleaning. Nothing will be calling my name to clean, wash, or sweep. I can just relax. I've been with the service for over 15 months without a single issue. Great work, good price.
High quality and accommodating
The team is always responsive and willing to accommodate my needs - very friendly and great service!
Great Reliable Service
Emilia's Cleaning does an excellent job of cleaning our office on a weekly basis. Each week's cleaning is very thorough and they also always accommodating should we need to change our regular schedule or add cleaning services. I would recommend their service to any business.
Thorough cleaning plus Emilia's very organized!
Not only does the person cleaning my house do a thorough job, but I appreciate that Emilia is very organized. She provides reminders of when the person is coming (we are every other week), she stays on top of billing and has an easy electronic pay. When my "regular" person can't make it, Emilia is quick to offer me the option to reschedule or have someone else come. She's very accessible and quick to respond to any questions or comments. I'm kind of a clean freak and neat freak. And I've been very happy with Emilia's team.The cleaning each time is the basic tasks; I've not yet gotten any deep cleans. But having someone come regularly gives me time to vacuum curtains, wipe blinds, go behind furniture, etc. Her is knowledgeable with cleaning various surfaces, too - glass shower doors, natural tile, etc. I was nervous having someone come into the house while I'm gone, but the person each time is able to handle our door code, alarm system, and we even have a system with the permit parking worked out for her. We've been using Emilia's services for several years now and I appreciate that I have more time now with my kids on weekends. Definitely recommend!
Terrific Cleaning Service
I'm the president of a self-managed condominium association. We hired Emilia's Cleaning service several years ago and have been very pleased with the work they've done. The company seems very well run, they're responsive to inquiries in a timely fashion, and at the very least meet but, usually exceed our expectations. They make working with them easy and convenient. If we need a specialty cleaning service they can usually accommodate most anything. We find their pricing very fair and a great value. I would highly recommend their services to anyone.

Excellent weekly service
Professional and reliable. Emilia's cleaning goes out of it's way to help accommodate any cleaning need.
Reliable and professional
Emilia's Cleaning Service has been sending a housekeeper to my house for about 3-4 years. I have the same housekeeper every month. Her work is excellent and I am always happy to see her. Emilia sends me a text message each month reminding me of my cleaning day and requesting confirmation that I am expecting the housekeeper. I appreciate the professional way that Emilia runs her business. Occasionally, either Emilia or I have to change the cleaning date. We are always able to make an agreement. I appreciate her flexibility. Thank you, Emilia!
Emilia's Cleaning
I have had a wonderful experience. Kaisiab is excellent and thorough. She is like family now. Emilia and Alex are very responsive to any changes I may need. I would recommend the service to all who needs it.
Reliable, Quality Cleaning
We've been customers for 6 months and are very happy we found this business. Beata is thorough, trustworthy, and very nice.
Professional, Reliable and Trustworthy Cleaning Service
I have been using Emilia's cleaning for close to 6 years now, and I continue to be very pleased with their service. We have cleanings scheduled every other week with Gaby, who does an excellent job and couldn't be sweeter or more trust worthy. Our home always looks and smells wonderful after Gaby's been there and the price is reasonable, too. Emilia (the owner) is incredibly professional and prompt in responding to any special requests, scheduling changes, or grievances, which I find very refreshing having had bad experiences with owner-operated cleaning services in the past. I would highly recommend giving Emilia's Cleaning a try!
Professional, high-quality, punctual, dependable
Professional, high-quality, punctual, dependable. Easy to work with in case of schedule changes or special projects. Respond quickly to questions.
So glad I found this company!!
I have had zero complaints about this company. She is detail-oriented and thorough. Wouldn't change a thing.

Wiz Khalifa and Sister 2 Sister magazine recently discussed Amber Rose's repertoire of nude photos that leaked onto the net.
I could see if that was what she was doing while I'm with her or something like that and it was in a disrespectful way, but it's nothing like that. It's not even, like, the pictures or her past is a raunchy past. She did what she had to do. There's plenty of powerful women who overcame that, and that's what she really is, an example of what work and faith in God, you know what I'm saying, can get you into a positive situation. You can make a positive out of a negative.
The biggest misconception about Amber is that she wants attention. Everybody thinks that she does stuff for attention and that she loves attention, but she's really, really reserved and shy. She just gets attention 'cause she's dope.
There's so many pictures though. It can't be normal, but it's all good right?

The Nicolodis and
the golden age of music-hall acrobats
Nothing is for man closer to real flight than the purety of acrobatic. In a time when acrobats tends to sophisticate their gifts with elaborate coreographies and boutique presentations, we wish to remember the recent but gone era of night clubs and classical circuses. An era when acrobats graced the surreal twists of their bodies just with simple smiles, gazes to the girls in the house, or a bit of humor in real contact with the audience. They presented themselves as normal peoples, supported by a live band, seemingly enjoing the frenesy and the apparent easiness of their instead incredibly hard tricks.
This is the case of the Nicolodi, a family that for five generation have been performing in each corner of the globe, in front of admiring crowned heads, distracted jet-set tourists, or amazed family audiences in european villages.
I happened to spend for few years, the late 80s, nights after nights in the Moulin Rouge dressing rooms: hearing the audience and band during the acts, then seeing appearing the calm, sweating performers, as coming after a trip in an unreal world. The Nicolodi act was costumed as a kind of gala italian waiters, serving the most energetic acrobatic specialities ever compacted in the law of the seven minutes. Everytime you felt their act was finished, you had more.
Today this kind of acts just doesn't exist anymore; but we can still gaze for seven minutes into the past.
Ladies and gentleman: the Nicolodi Troupe.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The new "Spider-Man" climbed to the top of movie box office charts with weekend sales of $65 million in U.S. and Canadian ticket sales, a smashing debut for the reinvented franchise about a web-slinging superhero.
"The Amazing Spider-Man," starring Andrew Garfield in the role played by Tobey Maguire in three earlier installments, started strong with $7.5 million in midnight sales on Tuesday and remained so through the U.S. Independence Day holiday and the weekend. The 3D film has so far snared $140 million during its domestic run, distributor Sony Pictures said.
The film has generated $341.2 million overall, including $201.6 million in the 70 foreign markets in which it has opened.
Of its worldwide total, more than $24 million has come from showings in IMAX wide-screen theaters, according to Imax.
Earlier in the week, Sony had forecast domestic ticket sales of $130 million for the first six days.
The movie reboots the modern film series that began with 2002's "Spider-Man" and whose three movies netted around $2.5 billion at global box offices for its makers, Marvel Studios and distributor Sony Pictures.
After those earlier films, Sony cut the budget for its fourth installment and replaced Maguire with Garfield, who played a supporting role in Facebook movie "The Social Network,"
The film follows Spider-Man alter-ego Peter Parker in high school as he turns into a crime-fighting superhero. Garfield's real life girlfriend, Emma Stone, plays Parker's girlfriend, Gwen Stacy.
The story of young love helped lure female viewers, who made up 42 percent of the audience, according to Sony. Seventy-three percent of reviews compiled on website Rotten Tomatoes recommended the movie.
"This is a film that had something for women," said Rory Bruer, president of worldwide distribution for Sony Pictures Entertainment. "Gwen Stacy is a pretty strong woman in her own right, and the two of them had great chemistry on screen."
The new "Spider-Man" cost about $215 million to produce, plus tens of millions more for marketing. The film is Sony's second big-budget hit this summer, following the success of alien comedy "Men in Black 3" in May.
The studio's next major release, sci-fi remake "Total Recall," reaches theaters in August.
Last week's winner, comedy "Ted" about a man and his foul-mouthed, pot-smoking teddy bear, slipped to second place with domestic sales of $32.6 million from Friday through Sunday. Directed by "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane, "Ted" has earned $120.2 million domestically since its debut a week ago.
"Ted" had an unusually low 40 percent drop in weekend ticket sales from the week earlier, which executives at distributor Universal Pictures attributed in part to attracting an audience that was 44 percent women after its opening.
"I know it's about a drug using, foul-mouthed bear, but when all is said and done it's a romance with a lot of heart," said Nikki Rocco, Universal Pictures' president of domestic distribution. "I don't know too many women who didn't feel something when that bear was lying dead on that coffee table with the stuffing pulled out of it."
The No. 3 slot went to "Brave," an animated fairy tale from Walt Disney Co's Pixar studio. The movie about a rebellious, red-haired Scottish princess grabbed $20.1 million at North American (U.S. and Canadian) theaters. That brings its domestic ticket sales to $174.5 million.
Oliver Stone's new movie, "Savages," rung up $16.2 million in its opening weekend, finishing in fourth place.
Based on a novel by Don Winslow, the blood-splattered R-rated film tells the story of two pot-growing friends who face off with members of a Mexican drug cartel who kidnapped their shared girlfriend.
The "Savages" cast includes Salma Hayek, Benicio Del Toro, John Travolta and Taylor Kitsch, the star of this year's two big box-office flops - "John Carter" and "Battleship."
In fifth place, male striptease movie "Magic Mike" racked up $15.6 million. The movie starring Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey has brought in $72.8 million domestically since last week's debut.
Universal and privately-held Relativity Media produced "Savages" for about $45 million. Universal had predicted weekend sales of about $10 million.
The weekend's other new wide release, documentary "Katy Perry: Part of Me," finished in the No. 8 spot with $7.1 million at domestic theaters.
After opening on Thursday in the United States, it has sold $10.3 million worth of tickets in its four-day domestic run.
The movie gives a behind-the-scenes look at the life of the colorful pop star. Paramount Pictures spent $12 million on production, and had predicted a four-day tally in the low- to mid-teens.
Paramount Pictures, a unit of Viacom Inc, released "Katy Perry." "Savages" and "Ted" were distributed by Universal Pictures, a division of Comcast Corp. Time Warner Inc's Warner Bros. studio released "Magic Mike."

Today's manicure was inspired by the pattern on one of my bikinis. I used Essie - Blanc as a base and then added the four pastel colors with a nail art brush.
I used China Glaze - Lemon Fizz, China Glaze - Something Sweet, Artdeco - 94 and Essie - Mojito Madness.

Sunday, July 8, 2012
[8-7-12] - Ever since its first introduction back in 2009, I have been an avid viewer of H&M's seasonal catalogues. Initially, I thought of neat and brilliant of the ever-evolving retail powerhouse and over time, grew to enjoy its content more and more. It definitely helps that the copies are distributed via H&M stores for free. Simply grab a copy and indulge. I particularly love it because it provides insight on what H&M has to offer in stores worldwide being that, to my observation, their merchandise varies region to region, depending on the preference of its demographics. Stores in Europe, I've noticed, tend to have much more items that appeal to my sense of style. Ah! I must admit I deeply desire to vacate to Europe (again) and see and experience the stylistic-climate. If you haven't already, visit the nearest H&M store and pick up a copy. This is definitely one of their best editions to date next to Spring 2011. The colours - just...sublime. I snapped some quick shots of some of my favourite looks. Peace.

It worked so great for bread, so why not slice up airport security lines?
Travelers at Midway Airport zipped through security lines in five minutes or less Thursday morning, with many becoming instant fans of a new classification system that made getting through the airport security more bearable...
New signs, color-coded like those at ski resorts that warn of the difficulty level of slopes, are directing passengers to one of three lines—a green circle for beginners, a blue square for intermediate travelers and a black diamond for advanced passengers. Travelers pick the line that fits their experience level, or security workers direct them to the appropriate one.
Security lines are one of the places where any latent misanthropy in my soul begins to bubble and froth, for how often I must stand in dumbfounded wonderment as some daft passenger, who having failed to utilize the previous 20 minutes in line to do anything other than be loud, tries ineptly to remove simultaneously his shoes, belt, and the doodads in his pockets while arguing with the security personnel about whether or not he can take his Big Gulp with him.
Nonetheless, I'd probably act the same way as the fellow pictured in the article and make for the shortest line, regardless of its label and the company in its keep.

"After four years of the politics of divide-and-conquer, Mr. Obama had stirred sufficient resentment in his political base to win a second term. What he has produced entering the sixth year of his presidency is a nation in a state of disunion.
"The pollsters at Gallup wrote last week that Mr. 'Obama is on course to have the most politically polarized approval ratings of any president.' Segments of the U.S. population see themselves not just in disagreement with the Obama administration, but as the target of its policies.
"This includes not only the famous 1%, but also the upper-middle class, Southern states, charter schools, politically active conservatives, private businesses, the Catholic church, electric utilities, doctors driven out of ObamaCare's health networks and those famous partisans, the Little Sisters of the Poor.
"All have been vilified, investigated, audited or sued by the president himself, Eric Holder's Justice Department, the National Labor Relations Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Environmental Protection Agency and, not least, the Internal Revenue Service. Last year's most remarkable polling number from Gallup said in December that 72% of Americans regard big government as the greatest threat to the U.S. They got the message." — Daniel Henninger, WSJ
