We sat down with NYC hairstylist, Rachel Flores, to talk the trends dominating the bustling streets of New York City.
Here's your dose of Wednesday wisdom. We hope you get as inspired as we did!
Texture has become such a big trend. We have the American Wave Service and the American Wave Hair Care Line. Why do you think texture has become so big?
The generational gap plays a big part. Young people didn't experience the bad perms of the 80's, so they have no fear of getting texture. They look at American Wave Services with fresh eyes. They don't picture that light socket, electrified hair.
I've had American Wave in my hair for the last 4 years and I absolutely love it. Lifestyle-wise, it's easy. We're in New York. We want wash and wear because we are busy. I don't brush my hair. I air dry, put in Glint Texture & Shine Spray, shake and tousle, and that's it.
Speaking of lived in hair looks, what's the difference between ombre and hair painting? Do people often get those two confused?
People think they are synonymous. An ombre is a type of look; hair panting is the technique that you can use to create ombre. An ombre describes the melting and the placement of the color to scale from dark to light; hair painting is a highlighting technique.
Has this always been around? Why does it feel like it's such a hot topic right now?
It's been around since the 70's. We only started using foils in the 90's—now we all associate highlights with foils.
The 2008 economic crisis helped ombre and balayage come back into style because it's an economic way to color your hair. It grows in really well, it looks natural, and you don't have to touch it up every 4 weeks. It's a bible technique that is going to be around forever.
What do you see is the next color trend?
Khakis and beiges are my inspiration this year. I have a double process which I overtone to a much darker shade to get a beige-inspired matte tone. I think it's a cool look right now. A lot of clients are asking for similar shades.

Photo 375 of 647
Amazingly, this entire scene was lit by a small, ~2C-sized flashlight called a Streamlight Stinger. I absolutely love this gem for light painting. Hat tip to Lost America for the recommendation.
Opened in 1947, and closed in 1982, the theatre has sat vacant ever since, falling into a state of disrepair. Currently, the Lorenzo Theater Foundation is raising funds to try to save the theatre from the wrecking ball.

THE SECRET CURRENCY OF LOVE: The Unabashed Truth About Women, Money and Relationships (2009)
In The Secret Currency of Love, edited by Hilary Black, acclaimed, bestselling, and award-winning women writers explore the fraught and powerful connections between love and money. As featured on the Today Show—with contributions by Karen Karbo, Kathryn Harrison, Lori Gottlieb, Julia Glass, Rebecca Traister, Dani Shapiro, Amy Sohn, and others--The Secret Currency of Love takes an unabashed look at relationships through the often-distorting lens of finance. As Elle magazine informs us, "All the bases are covered here, from the hard lessons women learn (and impart) to the inextricability of romance and cold hard cash."
Sex & The City meets The Wall Street Journal....Juicy, smart, dramatic and insightful—an addictive read."—Beth Kobliner, author of Get a Financial Life: Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties
"While women have made enormous strides in their earning power and financial self-sufficiency in the past century, research shows that many would still be very willing to marry for money, underscoring the complicated nature of women's feelings about social roles, independence and finances. This collection of revealing essays examines women's complex money relationships with partners, parents, children and other loved ones. Contributors, including Kathryn Harrison (The Kiss), Amy Sohn (Run Catch Kiss), Julia Glass (Three Junes) and former Simon & Schuster president Joni Evans, offer intimate glimpses into the shame, fear, insecurities, power struggles and psychological evolutions surrounding earning, spending, sharing, coordinating and managing finances inside and outside of romantic relationships. Unstintingly—even shockingly—candid, the writers describe how their feelings about finances shaped or contributed to good and bad marriages, abuse, divorces, breakups, crushes or even avoidance of relationships. This exceptionally honest and poignant collection deserves a place on the bookshelves of women of all ages, backgrounds, income, net worth levels and walks of life."—Publishers Weekly, starred review

Just when we thought we had the definition of a "netbook" nailed down, MSI comes along and forces us to reconsider. Specs and pictures of MSI's new X-Slim X320 netbook have surfaced, and you can see the rest after the jump.
The 13.4 inch screen is what sets this device apart from other netbooks, most with screen sizes in the 7-10 inch range. The rest of the X320 features seem to be standard netbook fare – Intel Atom processor, 3 USB ports, an SD card slot and VGA-out capability. The X320 weighs in at around 2 lbs, 14 oz and ranges in thickness from 0.23 inches to 0.74 (open and closed, presumably).
No word yet on a potential release date or price range, though it wouldn't be ridiculous to think that, due to the larger screen size, the X320 might cost a bit more than the netbooks currently on the market.

This week, the Washtenaw Health Plan loses a valued staff person. Haley Haddad is going to graduate school (University of Michigan School of Public Health)! Both in the office and out in the community, we are going to miss her!
Haley started at the WHP as an AmeriCorps member in January 2012, part of a special AmeriCorps program, run through the United Ways of Michigan, and focused on enrollment into public benefits programs. Haley did outreach at food pantries, farmers' markets, clinics and resource centers throughout Washtenaw County. She was the first person in our office to brave using the online MIBridges system, which is now the primary online system for all types of public beneftis in Michigan. Haley paved the way for the three AmeriCorps members that followed her. In that year, the WHP earned a "Super Site" award from Americorps because of her work.
Haley also earned the 2012 Barrier Buster "Newbie Buster" Award, in recognition of her contributions to the countywide Barrier Buster network.
After completing her Americorps service, Haley continued as a staff member of the WHP. She helped get CareNet, a case management network, started, and when Coverage Counts, a large federal grant through the Center for Medicare and Medicaid services, came along, Haley's impact grew. The grant project was focused on two counties--Washtenaw and Livingston--and at the outset the WHP had no presence in Livingston County. Haley began our Livingston County presence with "Walk-in Wednesdays" and community outreach, and her enthusiasm was infectious. As the grant drew to a close, she worked to train Livingston County Department of Public Health staff members, who are now able to assist the Livingston County community on their own.
Haley is a key reason that we have a Get Covered campaign, involving billboards, bus advertising, t-shirts, and the color orange.
Haley said to me, yesterday, when packing up some mementos from clients, "These will help me remember--we do this work to affect the lives of real people!"
So that's how it goes--Haley is the type of person who gets something started, and improves things in a way that allows them to continue. We will miss her, but armed with a new public health degree, we are pretty sure that she will be able to have even more of an impact on our world. Thanks, Haley, and Good Luck!

trey Songz: Anticipation 3
Trey Songz releases the third installment of his Anticipation.
When the video was released of Trey Songz being arrested at his concert for destroying stage equipment and injuring a police officer, I did not think Trigga was losing his mind. I knew instantly he was gearing up to release new music. Trey had a very quiet 2016 so it was about time fans recieved somehing. R&B music is back on the rise and him being one of the leaders of the genre, it is only right for him to let some of these newcomers know how it is done. While he is still working on his next studio album (Tremaine), Trey had dropped the third installment of Anticipation mixtape series. Besides Ready, his Anticipation series is considered some of his best work so I am sure this will be a treat for fans (especially since he got the braids back).

This site is a Photo and Travel Blog of picture taking excursions, vacations and trips. Sometimes we travel a few miles to a car show or a local woodland area, and other times we travel thousands of miles to new countries and adventures. There are times when we have just a few pictures and other times we have a story to tell and have thousands of pictures. Many of the things written about are personal opinions or experiences. Please keep that in mind. We all have different ideas and sometimes we learn from differing opinions.
As a complement to blogging about our current travels, this site is also dedicated to encouraging you, the reader, to document your travels, save your old films, videos and pictures to DVD and/or web video hosting sites. We have included a lot of examples of transferred video to provide inspiration. Our hope is that by seeing some of these examples of what we have done, you will get started hunting down those old memories and saving them for future generations as well. With today's technology you can do it yourself!
We encourage everyone to take their old films and videos and convert them to digital video and then have fun with the editing process and don't be afraid to experiment. We always add a little something extra to our videos that was not originally recorded (sounds, special effects, fun transitions, etc). If you don't have the time or equipment to do this on your own you can go to the internet and look for someone who can provide the services you need.
Thanks, and get out there and see what the world has to offer!

In a recent T-Mobile Press Release 'T-Mobile Officially Announces Las Vegas 4G iPhone Speeds'
T-Mobile made their Las Vegas refarmed 4G iPhone-ready network official with a morning press release courtesy of T-Mobile's Chief Technology Officer, Neville Ray. Ray made a similar announcement this past friday at GigaOM's Mobilize conference calling Las Vegas at least 75% live. So what does this mean for Las Vegas residents?
Ray is careful to note that this is the first of many markets that T-Mobile will "strengthen" this year with "sites" already live in Seattle, Washington D.C., Los Angeles and New York where customers are "already experiencing improved coverage and iPhone 'speed sightings' on T-Mobile's 4G network." Just to avoid confusion, Ray is calling Las Vegas a "live market," where he is hinting that residents of the four latter cities are seeing the network come online, but the markets themselves are not yet fully ready.

Weather Spotting is an integral part of Emergency Services. Most local larger scale emergencies are due to changes in the environment around us; ice-storms, flooding, winds, fires, etc. The Spokane County ARES - RACES groups have many members who also are qualifed in Weather Spotting which assists the National Weather Service (NWS) in building more accurate weather-picture of Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho. These Amateur radio operators receive simple training from the NWS either in person at a public session, or via an on-line course.

4 things to Know Before Buying Life Insurance at Age 50
The key to getting the best life insurance at 50 years old is to apply with the right company. At TermLife2Go, we work with the top rated largest life insurance companies and no medical exam companies in the U.S. Give us a call today for a free consultation.
Or you can check out our Life Insurance Quotes page and compare exam vs no medical exam life insurance options on your own and then just give us a call if anything looks like it's going to meet your needs!
Life Insurance at age fifty (50)
If you're 50 years old and you do not have life insurance yet or your thinking about getting additional coverage, then this article is meant for you. Life insurance at age 50 can still be pretty inexpensive if you know what to look for. But you are going to want to act fast because once you hit your 50's rates really begin to increase quickly. The good news is a million dollar life insurance policy is still within reach.
With that being said, let's take a quick look at some really important things you need to know before you make any decisions about getting life insurance in your 50s.
4 things to Know Before Buying Life Insurance at Age 50
#1. If you don't know, don't test!
If you haven't scene your primary care physician or had a physical within the past 12 months, and you're not currently taking any prescription medications, don't run the risk of having an insurance company diagnose you with one of the following ailments:
- high blood pressure,
- high cholesterol,
- or elevated blood sugar leading to diabetes.
Because once you've been diagnosed with any one of these aliments, you will end up paying more for your life insurance then you would have had, had you not been diagnosed.
Additionally, you should know that insurance companies will share the information obtained during an application with one another. So, once an insurance company performs a medical exam on you, that information will be recorded and stored for other insurance companies to review in the future.
For this reason, if you're not sure that your medical exam is going to come back perfect, don't take one. Clients looking for life insurance at age 50 would be much better off by going with an alternative policy that offers coverage with a no medical option first. For more on this, see Exam v. No Exam.
TermLife2Go specializes in placing both medical and no medical term life insurance policies and have found that many of the no medical options are currently as competitive if not more competitive than those requiring full medical exams.
#2. Get it now!
Age will usually be the number one factor determining the premium that you will be charged. So today really is the cheapest your insurance is going to be for you. So don't delay!
***Now it should be noted that in some cases delaying getting coverage may make sense, for example:
- You are currently trying to stop smoking and need to wait a year to get non-tobacco rates.
- You need to wait a year to clear up a DMV issue.
- You have a pre-existing medical condition that may require a waiting period before a life insurance company will underwrite you.
However, for most 50 year olds looking to buy affordable life insurance, waiting only means one thing: your life insurance policy is going to cost more when you finally do decide to take the next step and apply.

#3. Not all Insurance Carriers are the same!
This is particularly true for clients in their 50's. You should know that each insurance company has its own rules and guidelines that it will follow when underwriting an application. Some insurance companies may have very strict guidelines when it comes to certain preexisting conditions while other carriers may not be concerned about them at all. This is why it's really important to know which carrier to use and why!
Now the good news is that the life insurance industry is just like every other industry out there competition is always pushing insurance companies to fight for your business. As a result, different life insurance carriers take on different "niches" in an attempt to gain market share. These niches may shift from time to time but generally life insurance companies become known within the industry to focus on certain groups.
Which brings us to our next point…variety is the key to saving money!
#4. Find someone that is working for you, not the insurance company.
With so many options to choose from and so many different carriers competing for your business, it's key for you to work with an agency that is not bound to any one specific life insurance company. Your agent should be able to shop your application to dozens of different life insurance carriers forcing them to compete for your business.
Only by choosing to work with an agency that represents multiple life insurance carriers can you ensure that you are getting the best policy to protect you and your family. After all…
Doesn't it make sense to work with an agency whose sole focus is you?
Totally confused?…. Don't be, this is where TermLife2Go steps in, as an independent agency our agents are committed only to you and your family. Our main goal is to help guide you through the process of:
- First, choosing the right type of policy, whether it be Term or Whole Life,
- Second, determining the appropriate coverage amount, and
- Third, determining which carrier will give you the best rate available.
By working directly with TermLife2Go you will have an assigned agent dedicated to your application. This agent will be available to you throughout the entire application process; he or she will provide you with status updates as your application goes through underwriting and will also review your application at time of approval to ensure that you are still getting the best deal out there!
We'd like to take a moment and acknowledge that at age 50, life can become really complicated and really expensive. Which is why we fully understand just how difficult it can be first qualify for a great term or whole life insurance policy and then be able to pay for it!
After all…
Who wouldn't want to purchase a 100 million dollar term or whole life insurance policy on ourselves so that our loved ones will be forever taken care of should we pass away too soon, but when it comes down to choosing a place to live over an excessive life insurance policy, well it's pretty obvious what most people are going to choose!
This is why…
We've also chosen to write several articles sharing some of the knowledge that we have acquired over the years working with 1000's of clients concerning how they make a living.
You see…
Just about every time we complete a life insurance application for one of our clients, one of the first questions that we have to ask is:
"what do you do for a living?" and "what would you estimate your annual income as?
Which means that over the years, we've become really familiar with a wide range of different career paths and opportunities that a person can take.
Some of which you would probably never think of on your own!
And because…
Our number one goal here at TermLife2Go is to help individuals and families secure their own financial security and independence, we wanted to share with you what we've learned.

The Loving on the Edge series is a BDSM series. The level of kink varies throughout the books and they're all erotic, but a good rule of thumb is that the books increase in kinkiness as the series goes on. So Crash Into You is the mildest and a good introduction if you've never read a BDSM book before.

My sweet baby girl turned 6 this past Sunday. Aubrey is obsessed with all things horses, so I did a horse themed parties. I say parties because we had a party at our house with her friends on Saturday, and on her actual birthday we had the family over. Our house isn't big enough to have everyone over at the same time, and plus the grandparents appreciate not having to partake in the kids party. : )
I made a simple horse invitations in Publisher . . .
I kept the decorations the same for each party.
For her friends party I just did a few snacks and a cupcakes.
The kids painted horses, and I also had coloring pages for the kids to do while waiting for everyone to arrive. We played pin the tail on the horse, and since we are having spring like weather in February the kids got to run outside and play with the chickens.
For her family party I kept the lunch really simple with soup and bread. I didn't have a place for everyone to sit at a table, so I wanted the food to be easy to hold. Also, soup is easy and budget friendly for a crowd.
My sister made this fun horse theme cake. I just went to tractor supply and got a plastic horse and ordered the banner off of Etsy. Simple and cute!
We played pin the tail on the pony again with her cousins.
Little miss Aubrey got some great presents from her friends and family. She is one lucky lady!
Overall it was a fun birthday weekend, and I can't believe my baby girl is now 6!

The Opportunity Dashboard consists of a series of charts displaying information on the opportunities priced in PrecisionLender. Because the information shown on the opportunity dashboard does not include existing loans and deposits, it allows you to focus on the value of new business that's being priced.
You can use the Filter Bar to filter to any level in your regional hierarchy, down to the individual lender. When you first log in, the Filter Bar is set to display your personal Opportunity Dashboard so that it contains only opportunities that you own. By clicking on any of the regions, you are able to see rolled-up results at any level of the bank (provided that your security profile allows you to see into other regions within the bank). To return back to your personal dashboard, you can click the Home icon () at the far left of the Filter Bar.
Performance Vs. Targets
The first section, Performance vs. Targets, shows your performance compared to your ROE targets. The bar named "Average" on the far left side of this chart is the average of the past 5 months (indicated with grey headers) of closed opportunities. Opportunities here are sorted according to their close date.
Charts will be green if you have met your targets for that period, and red if you have not. The more above the target you are, the brighter the green will be; the farther below your target you are, the brighter the red. The selected month (in this case, August 2017) will be boxed in and everything preceding the current period will be indicated by gray labels. The vertical light gray bars in the background represent the ROE targets. You might notice that the gray bars move from month to month. This isn't because the ROE Targets are moving around each month, but because each product might have a different ROE Target and the mix of bookings from period to period will shift.
Hovering over any of the bars will show you additional information on that month's performance.
The second section, Production/Pipeline, shows you the average assets by lender, product, stage, region, or risk rating month by month. The chart shows the "Closed & Won" deals whose expected closing month has passed, and doesn't include deals that were lost. Each product (or lender, stage, region, or risk rating) is represented by a different color, which is consistent across all of the charts. The size of the bars indicates how much of your portfolio for that month is made up of each product. The selected month (in this case, August 2017) will be boxed in. Everything preceding the current period will be indicated by gray labels. Below the chart, PrecisionLender also shows how much you've added each month in Loan Balance, Commitment, Gross Funding, Net Funding, Deposits, and Other Fees.
Hovering over any of the colored sections of the bars will show you additional information on that section.
Profit Sources
The third section, Profit Sources, contains a bar-mekko graph, in which the width of the bars represents the amount of capital allocated to each category, and the height represents the amount of net income in relation to the other products. The lighter, more translucent colored areas around the bars represent the ROE target for that product. What the Profit Sources section displays is dependent on what you have selected in the Production/Pipeline section. It shows the income for a selected month as a percentage of the risk that you are taking on. You can click any month on the Production/Pipeline or Performance vs. Targets sections to show a breakdown in this section for that month. This example shows August '17 information; for example, $347,000 of Net Income was generated and $168,000 of that was from opportunities in the Quoted - 10% stage.
Pipeline Breakdown
The fourth section, Pipeline Breakdown, allows you to see a detailed view of everything that's currently in your pipeline by sections. The dropdown allows you to choose which metric (by product, lender, stage, region, or risk rating) you'd like to view. Whatever you choose will determine the bars that display in this section. What you have chosen to display in the Production/Pipeline section will determine what makes up these bars. Take a look at the example below.
In this example, the Production/Pipeline section is set to show average assets by stage, and the Pipeline Breakdown is set to show by product. There is one bar for each product on the Pipeline Breakdown chart, and the colored sections within each bar represent different stages that the loans in the pipeline containing these products are in. Hovering over any of the colored sections of the bars will show you additional information on that section. This example shows that the yellow section of the Commercial Real Estate - Investment product represents how much of that product is in the Quoted - 10% stage; in this case, there are 13 loans with an actual ROE of 18.81%.

Some of the benefits of being able to access on-line libraries like the WIMA or the Petrucci Library, sharing musical performances through YouTube, and having relatively few complications related to making recordings of new music or music in the public domain (aside from figuring out how to pay for making them), is that we are now able to understand that there have been a far greater number of people of what we like to call "genius" than we ever thought possible.
Most of us measure ourselves against people who can do and have done wonderful things. "I could never do that" is the usual response that someone might have after reading about or hearing about someone who "accomplished" something. There are exceptions, but the "never could" often turns itself into a "never will." Perhaps we spend so much energy measuring that it takes up too much of our time and our creative energy. My response is simply not to measure. It saves a great deal of time, and makes more room for creativity and the pleasure I get from seeing, hearing, and reading wonderful music and literature.
Success in music has become intertwined with the accepted capitalist view of success. It seems that we have to keep making more music in order to show any sort of cultural "profit," that is, if there is anybody who cares. Sometimes, when life circumstances make it difficult to keep accomplishing, a composer might not feel able to "produce." A composer without the regular stimulation from people who want to play and hear his or her music might not be as motivated to write as a composer who knows that the music he or she is writing will be played by people who want to play it, and heard by people who want to hear it.
I'm starting to believe that most music goes unheard.
At the beginning of my musical adulthood, the list of later 18th-century and early 19th-century composers (composers of the Classical Period, if you will) numbered in the scores. As of today, the Petrucci library lists 553, and these were 553 composers who had their music published. I imagine that number will double soon, since music from library collections all over the world is constantly being scanned into their on-line library.
A few composers, like Marianne Auenbrugger and Francesco Zappa (I couldn't resist that name) published only one piece (as far as we know), and some well-known composers were more prolific than anyone would have imagined, like Johann Nepomuk Hummel (this list reflects just a fraction of his total output). There were also prolific (and excellent) composers like Anton Ferdinand Titz who wrote music that didn't survive the consequences of time (as well as wars, revolutions, and natural enemies like fire, water, and decomposition).
A chunk of time spent in a library (of any kind--on line or physical) can show that creativity is part of the human spirit, but it also reveals how limited we all are. As a culture we have become a society of consumers of ready-made products. We have limited room in our virtual homes for all the treasures of the past (and the present) that we have at our fingertips, and we have proportionately limited time to enjoy them. Many of us lack to the skills, whether they be language skills or music reading skills, to evaluate what we find. This deficit exists within a greater popular culture that regularly asks opinions from "non-experts" on matters having to do with government and musical ability, and then accepts those opinions as being worthwhile data for measurement. Cable news reporters include audience surveys in their newscasts, newspapers regularly ask their readership to respond to on-line questionnaires, and then as "consumers" we are constantly urged to equate quantity of response with the quality of the product (performance, idea, candidate).
Perhaps it is a good thing that the world of "classical music" (or at least my world of "classical music") tends to function separately from "everything else."

New Year's Rant on the Simultaneous Rarity and Plentitude of Genius
Posted by Elaine Fine at 12:55 PM
Labels: Unjustly neglected composers
1 comment:
A dear former teacher of mine made the distinction between "genius" and "productive genius," and opined that "productive genius" was the proof of "genius" by degree while the marker of a test score and membership in some self-congratulatory club was merely the ground out of which "productive genius" should come. If prodcutivity did not accompany "genius," then he was uninterested in this tested group for they proved by omission to have at the minimum misused, or worse ignored, any gifts by such non-productivity.

How about his platform? Looked at item by item, there is nothing very special about Bernie Sanders' platform. It is made up of common-sense solutions to problems. It is almost a no-brainer. His position on every issue that he has addressed is eminently sensible and unimpeachably moral. Any progressive person (meaning any moral person) would likely propose any of his positions. So, what then is special about Bernie Sanders? Here are my answers:
- He has maintained an unwavering moral/philosophic stance for the entirety of his political career, and before that.
- His platform is internally consistent and complete, overlooking no issue that counts to the electorate.
- In particular, he has addressed the issue of climate change with the necessary degree of urgency. Clearly, he "gets it".
- In particular, he has made economic inequality the center piece of his campaign.
- He is entirely credible. No one questions his sincerity or honesty.
- He is extremely likable, and has, quite remarkably, succeeded in getting his message across via social media.
- He inspires optimism and enthusiasm to a degree not seen before.
For these reasons (at least), he has been embraced by those thinking voters who have the most to lose if this country does not change course, i.e. the young. Young people especially are very aware of, and alamed by, two threats to their future – growing economic inequality and climate change. That Bernie Sanders should emerge now, when a candidacy such as his is so critically needed, is nothing short of a miracle. If and when he wins, it will represent a radical shift away from the political paradigm that has held sway since the Reagan era (under administrations both Republican and Democrat). In this respect, Bernie Sanders' candidacy is a radical departure from politics as usual.

ALM Overview
Single Sign-on Solutions
The Active Login Manager (ALM) is a Single Sign-On solution for Extension Mobility users. With ALM, it is no longer needed to enter an Extension Mobility username and pin code via the numeric keypad of the IP telephone on your desk. Instead, the login of your computer or laptop is synchronised with the telephone on your desk. If you start your computer, your IP telephone is logged in. If you shut-down or lock your computer, the IP phone is logged out. It is easy, secure and flexible.
There is a solution for CUCM deployments, there is a solution for the Call Manager Express (CME) implementations and there is a solution that includes management reporting functions.
ALM Pro
ALM Pro is a smart software solution, which removes the need to manually log on and log off from your Cisco IP Phone. This process is fully automated by ALM Pro. Additionally ALM Pro adds more control to the log on and log off process, so it improves usability of your Cisco IP Phone Extension Mobility. ALM will simultaneously log off the connected phone at selected events, e.g. when the PC is locked or when the screensavers starts. The user or its administrator has the option to customize the ALM Pro behaviour.
ALM Pro+
The ALM Pro+ management console is a web based Enterprise Single Sign-on Application, hosted within your company environment and collaborates with the ALM Pro client software.
ALM Pro+ allows your company to report on the usage of the ALM Pro client, hence the behaviour of your employees regarding Cisco IP Phone usage. This gives your company valuable insights into phone and desk space usage and can reveal wrong phone configurations.
ALM Express
ALM Express is the SSO solution for Cisco CallManager Express (CME) solutions. It has the same capabilities as ALM PRO but is specifically designed for CME.

On so-called Flat Design.➝
Yes, there are some superficially nice examples in this Designmodo article on so-called flat design, the latest design trend that is sweeping the online landscape — where most young and/or inexperienced designers fall into the trap of focussing only on the aesthetic layer of GUI design. The article doesn't at all touch upon the reason why flat design is so successful — apart from it being a fad and that its obviously important to jump onto the bandwagon for great success.

The Dash/Plus System➝
Dash/Plus is a metadata markup system I created for paper based notes to mark the status of action items on a todo list. It quickly evolved to be equally well versed at marking up meeting notes for easy scanning and processing. This is mainly designed for those who keep lists or take notes using pen or pencil and paper.
I'm quite sure there is a good way to port this principle to digital lists as well. However, I'm going to keep it in mind for my upcoming paper-based to-do lists.
Starters Guide to iOS Design➝
As someone who does work on both the development and design side of iOS apps I find that many designers struggle with the transition to UI work, or with the different processes involved in iPhone and iPad app design. In this guide I'll describe the deliverables you'll be expected to produce, outline the constraints of the medium and introduce fundamental iOS and UI design concepts.
Incredible comprehensive guide for everyone looking into design for native mobile (read: iOS) devices.
This is amazing. Ira Glass, host of my second favorite podcast "This American Life" describes what you need to become successful in the creative field. He nails it and I haven't been able to find the right words for it yet but it's simple: Taste. You just need to know when something isn't as good as it should be and then you need the will to make it better. Done. (via)

I just have to get this out of my system and there may be some parts that are highly subjective and a bit of rambling, but nevertheless, here we go:
You're all bored and thus looking for something new. Everything else changed since I started playing around with Photoshop eight years ago. The internet, mobile phones, browsers. But somehow the program we're designing stuff in stayed and with Fireworks gone there isn't even a possibility to change to a "better" alternative anymore.
I've got the feeling that many people wish to use something else than Photoshop for the solely reason of using something that's more fancy and made by guys like "us". Photoshop only works with several plugins and extensions, you can't even edit rounded corners without them! Then there is something like Sketch, that allows you to do so right from the start. Neat, isn't it? Sure.
Everyday Work.
Sketch is a great piece of software. This isn't a pamphlet against Sketch, or any other programs, it's more of a love letter to Photoshop.
I don't know how your average workday looks like, but I'm not just "designing apps". Sure, the result will be an app, but I have to retouch photos, enlarge backgrounds, build patterns, export assets, handle impressively large and complex files, need a way to see the result directly on a screen of a smartphone, etc.
My point is: I don't just work on one kind of task, it's a huge mix of different things and as cluttered and full of options and features Photoshop is, as capable it is to handle what I have to do for the task at hand and nearly every other possible task, that might come in the future.
"Photoshop has so many features I have no use for, it's absolutely bloated!" is – in my view – not a valid argument to think it's not the right tool to do your work. I don't ever use the 3D features, so what? There will be a day I'll need a bloody three dimensional cube on some kind of wood background. Is Photoshop capable of doing so? Sure it is. Does it hinder my work if there is a feature I rarely if ever use? It sure doesn't.
Initial effort
It's not even a bad thing that you need additional software to reach your goal. Sketch allows you to export 2x and normal assets. That's amazing, but Slicy does the same thing (much better) for Photoshop. The amazing thing here is that there is something that solves this problem. Editing rounded corners? There are several plugins that allow you to do so.
To have to install, manage and remove additional tools is not a weakness, it's a privilege. There is a slightly higher initial effort, but as soon as you've found the right tools, hacks and plugins, you'll be more productive in Photoshop than in every other software. Not based on one single task but on the greater picture of what our job is about. Photoshop is able to adjust itself to your needs, take a bit of time to make it do what you want.
Photoshop feels kind of messy, there is never a "correct" solution for a problem. I understand it might feel like a relief to switch to software that shows you how to do something and you just don't have to think about potential other solutions, but here is the thing:
Our job isn't easy or at least not trivial. This whole pixel pushing thingy is not a clean task, you have to test things, you have to have the possibility to apply quick and dirty solutions and you have to have a better and more "long term" way of doing the same thing for final production.
Don't get me wrong, it's good to know there are alternatives and I salute everybody who switches their projects to Sketch or similar solutions. I just wouldn't recommend it. It's just so much easier to do these things in Photoshop and Illustrator as long as you invest a bit of time and research to build your work environment as good as possible.
Photoshop is like grandfathers workshop. There may be 20 similar tools and at a first glance most of them feel dispensable and the whole shed looks messy, but your grandfather knows where everything is, what to use first and which version of which tool is best for the task at hand. (What a brilliant metaphor. Good job, Marcel.)
I don't understand why so many people are keen to switch to premature alternatives but I don't blame anyone to do so. There might be a new standard in ten years, who knows. I keep testing the alternatives but as long as there is nothing that helps me to be faster and more efficient in every facet of my daily work, I'll stick with my beloved Photoshop.
Like I said, I think Sketch is pretty good it's just too early to do efficient work with it. Feel free to bash me on Twitter for this post. You'll reach me at @UARRR.
PS: Make sure to read "Photoshop is a city for everyone: how Adobe endlessly rebuilds its classic app". It's worth your time.
LayerVault introduces Public Projects➝
For a group of individuals who so loudly declare that design isn't how it looks, designers really don't know how to present their work. What we show off is the end of the process—the pretty picture posted to a portfolio website. Today we're taking a step towards fixing that.
Well, that's a whole new approach of "designing in the open". Interesting.
The future of iOS design?➝
To me, there is a distinct movement towards a particular style and I would be very surprised if Apple were ignorant of it. It's not 'flat design' per se and it's certainly nowhere near the 'Metro' levels that people are suggesting they may follow, but it's a mellowing out of the visual indicators that people need to trigger the idea of a tappable element. Why? Because this is not 2007 anymore, and we are all now fully aware of the medium and the process; we don't need to be led garishly by the hand. There is still a sense of depth and tactility but done in a refined and suggestive way, sensitive to the changed perceptions that people have of interacting with touchscreens.
The first post on "Apple goes flat" I've read that's not just saying "it may be flat". Tim also points out that "flat" does not equal "flat". There are subtle varieties and it sure won't look the way most of Dribbble thinks it will.
Flat ≠ no gradients, no effects, no everything.
Almost a year and a half after the first release of the PPP handbook – we still love pixels. It seems like you do too as we've had some great feedback. We've been working hard to make it bigger, better, and more useful.
Remember a few weeks ago when I posted the first version of "Pixel Perfect Precision" by ustwo? They've done it again and this time it's even better. Make sure to take a look at it. They also have e-book versions available.

An Easter wedding at Plas Isaf, North Wales
Plas Isaf Country Barn & Gardens is a lovely 17th century barn situated just outside my hometown of Corwen. I have been a Plas Isaf wedding photographer in the past and I visited there again this Spring when Leah & Paul tied the knot. Leah & Paul had a beautiful relaxed ceremony in the stunning ceremony room at Plas Isaf. Shades of purple (one of my favourite colours) were the theme to the day, with hints of slate to make it a real Blaenau Ffestiniog wedding. The place Leah and Paul call home. The Easter themed wedding cake..was amaaaazing, four tiers of mixed flavour heaven with a mini egg trim to match the mini egg favours.
The flowers, venue, cake, decor and colour palette were all beautiful, but, quite rightly stealing the show was Leah. Dressed in a lace Mori Lee gown with satin pumps she was a vision. Shooting the families first look was a highlight for me and filled with so much infectious joy.
It's worth a mention that Leah's dad David (or Tali as he's fondly called by his loved ones) built the sweet cart from scratch!
It rained allll day and even thundered until after sunset but luckily Plas Isaf Country Barn & Gardens is a venue that rain or shine I can capture beautiful memories as your wedding photographer. The day was filled with laughter and happiness. Little did we know at the time how much happiness-Leah & Paul are expecting their first baby this December and I am over the moon for them!
Leah & Paul would like to thank both of their parents- The day would not have happened without them.
Huge high five to Bekah for assisting me that day, looking forward to August!

Starts fantastic but after it has worn off the flushing gets worse than originally. You either have to keep using or cease using it,well that was my experience. I will still use on occasions though. I do not need to use all the time as flushing clinically mild anyway.

Property For Sales Or Rent In Sarawak, Malaysia
Sarawak is the largest state in Malaysia and is situated in East Malaysia sharing the island of Borneo with Sabah, Brunei and Indonesian provinces of Kalimantan. It has a population of 2,471,140 and despite the vast land area, the majority of people live along the coast or along rivers leading to the sea as the interior is covered by impenetrable jungles and mountains. Kuching is the capital city and Rhinoceros Hornbill is the state bird of Sarawak, portrayed on the coat of arms.
Humans have inhabited Sarawak as far back as 40,000 years ago at the Niah Caves. Over the years it has been governed by various controlling powers - by the Bruneian Empire (16th century), by the Brooke family (1841-1941), by Japanese during World War II (1941-1945), by the British Crown Colony (1946-1963) after which it became a self-government and later in September 1963, formed the Federation of Malaysia. Unlike other Malaysian states, it alone maintains an autonomy on immigration control, administration and judiciary powers.
It has the most diverse ethnic groups with their very own unique culture, language and lifestyle. The largest ethnic group is Iban, followed by Chinese and Malay. Other major ethnic groups include Bidayuh, Melanau and Orang Ulu. The predominant religion is Christianity. There are more than 40 sub-ethnic groups observing various religions and conversing in more than 40 different languages and dialects. Although Malay is the official language, the most widely spoken is the Iban Language. However, the locals are mostly multi-lingual and can speak English well.
Besides tourism, its economy is supported through export of various natural resources such as oil and gas, palm oil and timber. Many tribes live in communal longhouses and are well known for diverse ethnic crafts such as boat building, beadwork, intricate tattooing, pottery, weaving and basketry. Sapeh (dug-out guitar) is the most noteworthy traditional musical instrument of Sarawakians.
Any food lover worth their salt should try different indigenous dishes such as Manok Panosh (chicken dish), Umai (raw fish salad), Bubur Pedas (spicy porridge specifically prepared for breaking fast during Ramadan), Sarawak Layer Cake, Sarawak Laksa and Tuak (rice wine). Festivals celebrated by individual ethnic groups include Gawai Dayak, Gawai Antu (Iban), Chinese New Year, Hungry Ghost Festival (Chinese), Hari Raya Puasa, Hari Raya Haji (Malay) and Kaul Festival (Melanau).
Animal lovers will be left awed by the rich biodiversity of animal and plant species in the rainforest ecosystems of Bako National Park. Gunung Mulu National Park also offers many wondrous sights including the famed cave systems. Sarawak Cultural Village is the perfect cultural experience of the different ethnic lifestyles and in July there will be the added advantage of experiencing the Rainforest World Music Festival.

Don Shula's health scare makes us reflect on an irreplaceable time in Dolphins history
We hear of a medical scare involving Don Shula and we take it personally in South Florida because of all he has meant. To Miami Dolphins fans, he is the towering symbol of better days, of the best days. To this community, he is family. There are prayers and concern when you learn Shula has been hospitalized at age 86, but there is wistfulness, too, a reckoning, one more cause to face our own mortality.
What Shula accomplished is ageless. He will forever be 43 — half a lifetime ago — frozen in that iconic Jan. 14, 1973, photograph riding on the shoulders of his Dolphins, on top of his world, moments after a Super Bowl was won and a Perfect Season minted.
We long for that Shula again, for those years that raced past, as we hear he is being treated for sleep apnea and fluid retention. The news that he has been hospitalized other times recently for undisclosed matters raises higher our concerns, but we respect his privacy on the details.
We see Shula now, moving in a motorized scooter because of back issues, and are reminded the winningest football coach of all time cannot beat the one opponent no one does: Time. We wish we could blink and have back the Shula of those old Sunday sidelines, the jutting jaw, the arms folded across a Dolphins windbreaker, the supremely in-charge coach who lifted this franchise and this city to the very top.
Shula commanded that sideline here from 1970 through 1995, and anyone who grew up in South Florida in that era fits his own timeline into Shula's. For me, a pimple-faced kid in high school grew to become a married father of two during his time.
I sat with Shula in the memorabilia-filled study of his Indian Creek Island home last summer to film a video related to the club's 50th anniversary season, an old sports columnist and an older coach. I reminded Don he had now been out of the NFL 20 years.
"That's unbelievable when you think about that — 20 years that I've been out of coaching!" he said, head moving slowly from side to side, but with a small smile. "Seems like only yesterday people were yelling at me and saying 'Why'd he do this' and 'Why'd he do that'."
The health issues of our sports figures usually are pretty simple.
With reconstructed knees or Tommy John surgery, we know the recovery time.
Even with the more complicated health concerns of Chris Bosh — with Bosh feeling he is past his blood-clot concerns and able to play while cautious Heat doctors say not yet — even in that difference of opinion all can agree the health and future of a 32-year-old husband and father should outweigh the basketball considerations.
Shula, of course, battles the one health concern from which no one recovers: Aging.
All of our greatest sports heroes get there eventually, if they are lucky, and quietly, decades after the cheering stops and the spotlight leaves. Decades during which our old heroes fade by degrees into paper-thin vessels that sail away carrying our memories.
Arnold Palmer is 86 now, Hank Aaron 82 and Muhammad Ali a frail 74.
We hope for Shula many more years, ideally that he will still be around to see his beloved team's renaissance and big winning again. His team, the one he put in charge of nurturing the legacy he left, a mandate fumbled and unfulfilled.
We brace for the inevitable, too, though, don't we, and when it happens we will call it the end of an era.
But we all know better.
We know that era ended a long time ago and that Dolphins fans have been nourished by the memory of it, by the fumes of it, partly because it is all they have.
An undeniable part of reconciling that Shula is in his life's deep winter is to be struck how more and more distant a franchise's better days have become from its present. It is also so, to a lesser extent, when one fathoms that Dan Marino, the curly haired kid out of Pitt who electrified this franchise in 1983, is now 54 and a spokesman for AARP.
Shula has been retired 21 seasons now and Marino 17, and still Dolfans wait (and wait) for any sign of another coach or player who will merit their company — someone, anyone, to make a compelling difference and to finally make a once-proud franchise matter again.
It is the knowing in our heart there will never be another Don Shula that makes us want to hold onto the original as dearly and as long as we can.
