When bloggers become the subject of other people's blogs, they know they've made it. Media stars are the new rock stars and moguls. It feels like half the time people are at work, they aren't actually doing work, but reading up on the latest celebrity gossip, fashion trends, news stories or about someone else's way more interesting life. Here are ten bloggers that have turned a simple blog into a big empire. Some of these bloggers set out to make bank from the beginning. Some just needed an outlet for their frustrations with life. One of these bloggers started her blog at the age of only eleven. Whether you agree with their opinions or lives, these bloggers prove that even without connections, sometimes, if you are really talented and put it out there, opportunities will arise.
10 Cat Marnell
Cat Marnell is the kind of blogger that every writer drinking booze and blowing lines of cocaine wants to be when they grow up. She was a beauty writer who was addicted to just about every pharmaceutical ever synthesized. Her articles for XO Jane such as "Gonna Wash That Angel Dust Right Outta My Hair: "Miracle" (Uh-Huh) Treatments to Help You Pass Those Follicle Drug Tests, Naughty Nancys!" uniquely incorporated Marnell's two expertise, beauty products and drugs. Needless to say, Marnell's writing style made her infamous, but the parent company of XO Jane forced her into rehab. She came back to the site, but quit shortly thereafter because she, "couldn't spend another summer meeting deadlines behind a computer at night when I could be on the rooftop of Le Bain looking for shooting stars and smoking angel dust with my friends." Marnell briefly worked for Galore Magazine and Vice, where her "Amphetamine Logic" columns about her crazy Adderall-addled life made headlines. Simon and Schuster offered Marnell a book deal, giving her advance of $550,000 for her upcoming book How To Murder Your Life.
9 Tavi Gevinson
When Tavi when only eleven years old, she started a blog called Style Rookie, where she took pictures of herself in various outfits and mused about fashion. Pretty soon the site was getting 30,000 hits daily and Tavi was interviewed by the New York Times. This lead to invitations to Fashion Week in both Paris and New York. She received tons of media attention for being a little fashion phenom and traveled the world. In 2011, Tavi stopped writing about fashion exclusively and founded Rookie Magazine, which is a joint venture between her and Say Media. It is an online magazine written primarly by and for teenage girls, with a number of celebrity guest contributors including Lena Dunham, Paul Rudd, Judd Apatow and Miranda July. She also became an actress with a supporting role in the independent film starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus and the late James Gandolfini, Enough Said. In 2011 and 2012, Tavi made the Forbes 30 Under 30 Media List. Tavi is a huge inspiration to creative girls and women alike.
8 Tucker Max
Tucker Max is the kind of blogger all college (and post grad and beyond) frat boys aspire to become. In 2000, because of a bet, Max started a website where women would fill out an application to date him. After graduating from law school in 2002, Max decided instead of becoming a lawyer, he would write full time, but his work was rejected by just about everyone. Instead of throwing in the towel, he started his first eponymous website, TuckerMax.com, where he shared his stories of drunken hook-ups and debauchery. By 2003, the world took notice and MTV made a documentary about him, which lead to a TV development deal, then a book called I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell. The book landed on The New York Times bestseller list, where it stayed for four years and a movie was made. In 2009, Max made Time Magazine's Most Influential list ranked at twenty-four, which was above The Pope and Dalai Lama. Since then, he has published three other books, all of which have become New York Times best sellers. In 2012, he officially retired from the "fratire" genre and began to focus on other ventures.
7 Harvey Levin
In 1994, former attorney Harvey Levin was a legal reporter for KCBS in Los Angeles, covering the O.J. Simpson murder trial. He then created and produced the television television show Celebrity Justice from 2002-2005 . In 2005, in Levin launched TMZ.com, (which is actually owned by AOL). TMZ stands for the Thirty Mile Zone of studios around Los Angeles. Today, TMZ isn't just a blog, it's a game changing media tour-de-force. Since TMZ has been able to break news stories faster than traditional media, it went from tabloid to legitimate news organization. TMZ now has three television shows, TMZ, TMZ Live and TMZ Sports. There are even TMZ Bus Tours in Los Angeles and New York.
6 Nick Denton
In 2003, British journalist and editor, Nick Denton founded Gawker.com. It was a gossip site about Manhattan. A not so accidental businessman, Denton created a magnet for controversy with his wit and snark, drawing in loyal readers and a number of investors. Denton then created and acquired several other blogs including Defamer, Deadspin, Jezebel, Lifehacker, i09, Gizmodo, Kotaku, and the blogging platform Kinja. Denton used to own, and has since sold off, several other blogs including Fleshbot, Wonkette, Consumerist and Idolator. Unlike Perez Hilton and Harvey Levin, Denton mostly stays out of the limelight himself, which seems to be a good strategy for him as he has seen much success.
5 Perez Hilton
In 2004, Mario Lavandeira Jr, started the gossip site, Pagesixsixsix.com. Coincidentally, six months in, the website received the dubious honor of being "Hollywood's Most Hated Website" by The Insider. Lavandeira changed the name of the site to reflect his own moniker, Perez Hilton. What set Perez apart from the other sites was his creative use of Photoshop, which allowed him to use unlicensed photos due to parody law. The site has expanded to include Perez's unique take on fashion, children, pets and fitness. Hilton himself has become a celebrity of sorts, hosting and appearing on television including his own reality show, Glee, and Law and Order: SVU.
4 Jen Lancaster
Jen Lancaster is one of the wittiest women in "chick-lit" today. In 2000, Jen Lancaster was a rising star in technology sales, earning a high salary and burning through it on Prada bags. Two weeks after 9/11 she lost her job and she started blogging about her unemployment troubles, of which there were many. She landed a literary agent and released her first book, Bitter Is The New Black: Confessions of a Condescending, Egomaniacal, Self-Centered Smartass, Or, Why You Should Never Carry A Prada Bag to the Unemployment Office in 2006. The brilliantly hilarious Lancaster is no longer as bitter and has written an additional nine books as of 2014.
3 Karyn Bosnak
Karyn Bosnak was a talk show producer who worked on The Ananda Lewis Show and Jenny Jones. After work, she loved to go shopping and ultimately shopped her way into over $20,000 of debt. In 2002, Bosnak started a website, SaveKaryn.com, asking strangers in cyberspace to help her out of her mess. She also learned from her mistake and blogged about better financial strategies. Bosnak was the first notable person to crowd fund on the Internet, although the term back them was "cyberbegging." This lead to a book deal and Save Karyn was published in 2003. In 2006, she published the novel 20 Times A Lady, which became the feature film, What's Your Number, starring Anna Faris. So, ultimately, Karyn became the blogger who saved herself.
2 Nik Ritchie
Hooman Abedi Karamian aka Nik Richie started the website dirtyscottsdale.com, which evolved into TheDirty.com, in 2007. The Dirty makes fun of ordinary people as well as celebrities in a rather mean-spirited, but humorous manner. Since then, this purveyor of celebrity gossip has become the subject of much gossip himself. Married to Lorenzo Lamas' daughter Shayne since 2010, just eight hours after they first met, they appeared on the Vh1 show Couples Therapy in 2012. His book, Sex, Lies and The Dirty was released in 2012.
1 White Girl Problems
Babe Walker, a fictional socialite from Bel-Air has a lot of white girl problems. She ran out of Adderall. She hates lunch. She hates you. Actually, Babe Walker aka @WhiteGirlProblem is a parody Twitter account, which is written by Tanner Cohen, David Oliver Cohen and Lara Schoenhals. In 2010, Tanner sent a tweet from his personal Twitter account and hashtagged it #whitegirlproblems. He then created the namesake handle and began to tweet from it. The account began to have a life of its own and garnered many celebrity fans including Emma Roberts, Jessica Alba and Nicole Richie. Babe was offered a book deal and in 2012, White Girl Problems became a New York Times Best Seller. Her secondary effort Psychos was released in April, 2014.

Margie's Original Italian Kitchen
Margie's is on Spur 580/Camp Bowie West, past Loop 820 (East Abilene) and is located in the upscale area next to the Knotty Pine Bar. The restaurant has been around since 1953 and has apparently figured out the "good italian food" thing. I'm ashamed that I've been in this area my entire life and only been to this restaurant once.
The Mrs. and I went over to Margie's for dinner one night after finally giving in to all the recommendations (and needing a restaurant on that side of town). As we approached, we were skeptical, but only because we felt like I needed to grow a mustache and change my name to Dale and she needed to change her name to Rhonda. I don't know why I would think that but the Knotty Pine probably had something to do with it.
If you haven't been - raise your hand [/everybody looks at me] - its a small restaurant with approximately 20 tables at the front and a bar in the back. There's also a jukebox that plays country and oldies (from what I heard) and I'm hoping to find out there is some Journey. It's quaint by all means and immediately makes you think you're about to get something special. I was just hoping it was food.
Our waiter recommended a bunch of stuff but I'm a tool and always get the chicken parmigiana. My wife got the spaghetti and meatballs. Bold move on both parts... We were actually conducting a very distinct and highly scientific test. There are four things an Italian restaurant must get right: sauce, chicken parmigiana, bread and meatballs. And fettuccine alfredo. And wine. And salad. And mafia hits.
I'm glad to report that the high standards set by the Hole in the Wall crew were exceeded.
In my opinion, the marinara sauce at most places is wrong. It's usually sour/tangy or too sharp. Many places don't take into account that sauces that make you pucker are better used for paint stripper. Margie's sauce is smooth and just a bit sweet and has a terrific taste. Check.
The chicken parmigiana dish is normally screwed up by every place in the world. It's supposed to be thin and crispy. Check. Its supposed to have cheese but not be mistaken for a piece of queso flameada. Check. Its supposed to be covered in marinara. Check. Good marinara. Double check. On the side of my chicken parmigiana came a surprise...not just spaghetti, but fettuccine alfredo. Good fettuccine. Creamy and flavorful. Check.
Wine. Check. Comes in little glasses, just like they drink out of in Serbia or where ever wine glasses are not available.
Meatballs. Tender and juicy with a delicious flavor. After checking with the waiter we discovered that they were in fact cooked in the sauce. Can you believe some people don't do this? Of course you can - you believe most of my lies. Don't you? Great meatballs. Check.
But quite possibly the greatest part of this entire meal was the bread. The bread was hot and buttered up and was perfect for dipping in the marinara. It probably helped that we got it comped but it would still be worth it if I had to trade in the kid at the next table. Check.
The salad was also good and didn't come with that lame excuse for dressing of marinara sauce with some extra oil in it. The salad also had more than just lettuce. Check.
So all in all, it was a wonderful meal. I feel like Will Ferrell in Old School when he's talking about the big party the next day and he keeps saying "I had an AWESOME time", even though all of his friends know that. You all knew I'd enjoy it. You don't mind if I tell everybody you're my friends right?
I had an AWESOME time. The food was great, the service was great and the atmosphere is perfect for a small hole in the wall.
If you haven't been, you're the only person left and we're all talking about you now on our social networking website (http://www.peoplewhohavebeentomargies-space.com/). Jealous much?
When you go, if you hear some Journey and see some guy eating the chicken parmigiana and singing along, say hi and we can talk like we're two regulars in our favorite Italian joints. AWESOME.

Funny. I live right around the corner. They have great pizza (albeit $$$), but I don't care for their entrees for the same reason you liked yours. I prefer Prima's. That being said, if you don't like Prima's, _definitely_ try Margie's. It looks like a dump/dive/(waitforit)hole in the wall, but the inside is comfy-cozy. A bit pricey, but good.

Just to enumerate: I spent $27 on a pizza. Not even full supreme. _Definitely_ grab the Valpack coupon before going for the 'Za. It's really good, but durn that's expensive.

I have not only never been, I have never heard of it. I grew up in an Italian restaurant (back then Italian restaurants served American food, too) and have had a hard time finding satisfactory spaghetti and meatballs.
Thanks for the post. Well written, too.

Michael, I'll agree that the price was a bit higher than I expected (especially considering the location), but I didn't mind paying. Are their pizzas thin crust and/or something fancy or should I just stick with Mama's? Also, I commented on your ocmment about Deer Creek in my previous post. I'll be there soon.
Anonymous, I don't diet a lot. I find that it hurts the blog. You will all be responsible for my untimely heart attack.
Francis, if you are being serious then thank you. I read Food and Fort Worth everyday and have always admired your writing.

I haven't been to Margie's since I was about 12 and I can't remember much about the food-just the divey atmosphere. Sounds like not much has changed in the past 23 years (yeouch I'm old)-may be time for a revisit, maybe once it gets colder and I'm in need of comfort food.

AND---it wasn't good at all...the bun was burned for crying out loud..Just say no to Deer Creek,,,you'll want your time back...and yeah, Margie's is freakin awesome!!! Their pizzas are brick oven pizzas as well..

I work for the company that runs the large woodworking factory between Margie's and Loop 820. When we first opened that facility, MARGIE'S WAS OPEN FOR LUNCH ! ! !
You can't imagine the weight gain.
On weekends, I'm the guy in the far back room having spaghetti and meatballs, lovin' the Elvis on the jukebox.

Another great Italian HITW is Toscana in Benbrook on 377. Great atmosphere- nice and quiet. They have a nice variety of standard dishes as well as some creative dishes (capers, artichokes, lemon/white wine sauces, yum!)

I haven't been to Margie's in at least 10 years, but I grew up going several times a year for family birthday celebrations. My grandparents went every Sunday night during the '70's and early '80's and were good friends with the owner (at that time it was still owned by Margie's son) and a lot of the wait staff.
I don't know if they still have it, but their best menu item used to be the cappucino pie. Sardines makes a good one that pales in comparison to what they served at Margie's.
Thanks for the review. You've probably inspired me to take a trip out to the west side in the very near future.

The gf and I went to Margies a few months back after reading a FWWeekly review. I can't remember the dish name, but it was steak filet's covered in a marinara type sauce. It was outstanding. I especially liked our waiter: He had a cheap, transparent short-sleeved white button-up, what appeared to be a clip-on tie, 70's hair and a P_ornstar mustache. It was apparent that 'this' really was his look; both at work and probably at home. Greatness!

I've lived in Fort Worth a little over 6 years and have always wanted to try it. I don't think I've ever met anyone who's gone there, but I know FW Weekly and S-T food critics talk about it a lot. I have ALWAYS wanted to go there. I was secretly waiting for you to write about it before I made my official decision. Thanks for the post. I'm definitely convincing my boyfriend we need to go there... right now.

Hi Fort Worth Hole in the Wall,
I am a local Fort Worthian and avid reader of your blog! You've been a big help when deciding where to eat on a restless Friday night.
I was hoping I could email you a few questions about your interest in restaurant blogging. I am currently enrolled in a class at TCU and one of our assignments is to write a feature article and mine is over food blogs and I love it I could include your information from your blog and about you as a blogger.
Please contact me at email@example.com
Thank you!

Margie's is close to where I live and I like it. I think their salads are my favorite. I love the vinaigrette with the feta cheese in it. I also like their pizza, I think because the sauce is a little spicy. I'm not a big fan of sauce on pizza, but I do like Margie's.
Thanks for trying our side of town! :)
- September 17, 2008 at 10:54 PM
- FortWorthHoleInTheWall said...
The salad is great and my favorite part is that they don't use that sad excuse for a dressing (sauce with more oil). It really tastes great. I haven't tried the pizza and now I've got mixed reviews here. Maybe I'll snag a piece from another table next time I'm there.
Thanks for reading.
Ericka, check your email.
And if anybody else wants to email me or has questions or recommendations please shoot me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com
I check it every week or so.

Just a couple of scatter shooting tidbits that may or may not be accurate.
I don't think Margies has been open since the 50's....that's painted on the wall just for decoration.
Margies has had several owners since the 70's and has been out of business more than one occasion (not 100% sure about this one).
Margies got popular again when the same guy who started Fuzzys and Pedros bought it and turned things around.
The guy who now owns Margies was at one time partners with Fuzzys and also owns M&M Steakhouse.

Now now, there's no need for "facts" and "truths" in this blog.
And somehow, I get the idea that the Fuzzy's creator is somewhat of a Bill Brasky character.

I've lived in this area my entire life and have enjoyed Margie's forever. We eat there once a month, at least. I just ate at a relatively new Italian Restaurant off of 377 called Toscana's. It's another hole in the wall gem in a strip center with awesome food and reasonable prices. BYOB :) Have you tried Mancuso's? If not, that's another great one on this side of town to add to your todo list.

I see that this original post ws from 2008 and I would urge you to try it again.
I found Margie's by mistake and decided to research when I came across your blog. The reviews were great so we were excited to try this place out.
I hate to be negative but this place was NOT good. We tried it twice just to make sure it wsn't an off night or something...
1st trip = salad was excellent! Wine choice was good and decently priced, appetizer never showed up, waitress was a complete ding-dong, and we ordered the chicken marsala - GROSS! Do NOT order this dish if you go there! I was basically chicken smoothered in some black crap w/fettucine alfredo on the side... only way I could force it down the gullet was to mix the 2 together. Ugh.
2nd trip = we decided to try something a little more traditional. i.e. Spaghetti and meatballs. Not terrible but a little bland. These meatballs were definitely not cooked in the sauce as I had hoped. Salad was still great, we skipped the app, waitress was a little more competent. The manager stood behind the counter swinging his keys, not helping out his waitstaff a bit. Our waitress, with 2 tables, was overwhelmed (in the weeds for fellow restarauntuers), and we waited for our cc to be swipped for at least 15 mins. before the manager decided he would help a girl out.
Needless to say, we will NOT be back.

Anonymous, thanks for the update. Sorry you had such a bad experience. Maybe if you decide to go back (and I'm thinking you will....) you should go to the Knotty Pine first.
Thanks for commenting and reading.

Unstuffed Cabbage Roll Skillet is an easy family meal you can make! If you love cabbage rolls, you will love this unstuffed cabbage roll recipe!
Freaky Friday
It is time for that quarterly blog hop, FREAKY FRIDAY! To remind you what Freaky Friday is, it when Michaela from An Affair From The Heart, organizes a group of bloggers and we all make a recipe from each other's blog!
An Affair From The Heart
For this Fall edition of Freaky Friday, I was actually assigned to our fearless leader's blog, An Affair From The Heart. Michaela is a lot like me, she is not afraid to think outside of the box. So I was like a kid in a candy store picking out a great Fall recipe from her blog!
There were a few recipes I was considering from An Affair From The Heart:
Ultimately I decided to go with the unstuffed cabbage roll skillet. Why? Well as much as those Philly stuffed peppers sound, and Philly steak is my weakness, I really love stuffed cabbage rolls even more!
Skillet Recipe
Another reason I choose this cabbage roll recipe is that I just moved to Florida, and everything was still packed away. So an easy skillet recipe sounded very ideal when you have a million things going on around you. The appeal of making an easy recipe was great.
Cabbage Rolls
Making cabbage rolls can be time-consuming. Cabbage rolls that are deconstructed and made in a skillet are brilliant! I only made one change to Michaela's original recipe.
I like a sweeter sauce, so I used tomato soup and a little Worcestershire sauce in the recipe. Ok, one more thing I did also that was different. I admit everything was still in boxes, including my knives.
I found canned seasoned chopped cabbage at the store here in Florida! I never saw canned cabbage before, so I used it. I only used it because I could not find the knife to chop the cabbage! It still was good! I used canned cabbage again in a pinch!
This cabbage skillet is amazing and perfect for a busy family. So if you need a family meal, and are short on time, then this unstuffed cabbage roll skillet is perfect for you!
Unstuffed Cabbage Roll Skillet
Unstuffed Cabbage Roll Skillet is an easy family meal you can make! If you love cabbage rolls, you will love this unstuffed cabbage roll recipe!

In System/Configuration->Commerce/Inventory/Limitations I found the only backend config available in Oro to determine MQTO, but the limits can only be configured in product unit quantities which is definitively not the most used MQTO unit, even in the B2B sphere. I wonder if not having the option to config MQTO in monetary units is an oversight, a bug or an purpose built limitation?

Video: Religious orders to refuse meeting over cash shortfall
Many of the religious congregations investigated by the Ryan Report may refuse to meet with the Minister for Education Ruairí Quinn as planned on Friday.
They had been invited to discuss a massive shortfall in their half of costs incurred by the State in compensating abused residents.
The Government is asking congregations named in the Ryan report to transfer ownership of schools to the State to help make up the shortfall.
It is expeced that those congreagations which will attend would "go in, listen and say nothing,'' according to one source.
And the source also claimed that the first the congregations heard about a 50:50 contribution was in April 2010, when they met then Taoiseach Brian Cowen and other ministers.
On July 6 Minister Ruairi Quinn reiterated that he wanted congregations to hand over properties to the State to make up for the €375m compensation shortfall from the orders.
The Ryan Report -- which probed the horrific abuse of children in institutions run by 18 religious orders -- recommended that the orders pay half of the redress bill, which amounts to some €680m.
But so far just two orders -- the Presentation Brothers and the Sisters of St Clare -- have committed to paying their 50pc share of the costs.
In one case, the Dominican Order said it believed it had offered a sufficient sum already.
The order gave a total of €6.5m over three periods last year following the sell-off of some assets.

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a Belize Beach Hotel?
For me it is:
- Thatched Roofs
- Private Wooden Cabins
- White Sanded Beaches
- Palm Trees
- Isolation
During our first part of the trip, even though our hotels were amazing, we never actually saw this vision until we arrived to the Green Parrot Beach Houses and Cabanas for breakfast.
Maya Beach, which is the upper portion of Placencia area, is known for romantic honeymoon getaways, serenity, incredible sunrises and most of all privacy. This was exactly what I found here!
Leo, the jovial manager, greeted my family and I as we arrived for breakfast for our quick escape from the town of Placencia, for a more secluded experience.
While we waited for our traditional Belize style breakfast to come out, Leo showed me around as my kids had a blast on the dock and in the sand.
The property holds eight private cabins that are fully covered by leaves and palm trees so it feels as though you are the only ones on a deserted island.
The white sanded beach is so inviting and you can take a kayak out, free of service, for a smooth Caribbean sea ride.
The resort is located about 15 minutes from Placencia, you can either get here by car or they will provide you with all the transportation you need.
Our breakfast finally arrived and it was huge! And I have to say, this was our best breakfast experience and we were sad to leave.
Thanks Leo and David for a great time!

Costa Mesa's review process for marijuana-related businesses will enter uncharted territory Tuesday when the City Council takes a second look at an earlier decision to award a required permit.
So far, what's separated this particular application by Pivot Naturals LLC from the dozen other marijuana manufacturing and distribution facilities that previously sailed through City Hall isn't so much the question of whether the business should be allowed to open, but when.
City planning commissioners decided last month to grant the business a conditional use permit to operate within a 5,283-square-foot industrial space in Suite 101 at 3595 Cadillac Ave. However, they added a new wrinkle by restricting hours to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.
The commission has previously granted other marijuana-related facilities in the area the ability to operate up to 24 hours a day if demand warrants. However, in this case, a majority said they felt it was prudent to exercise caution.
"We should have been a little bit more conservative in the operating hours because of the unique nature of land use in this particular part of the city," Commissioner Carla Navarro Woods said at the time.
Under Costa Mesa's voter-approved Measure X, businesses that research, test, process and manufacture some marijuana products are allowed to open in a specified area north of South Coast Drive and west of Harbor Boulevard. As proposed, Pivot Naturals intends to process cannabis oils into a powder for use in a variety of products, including tablets, food and beverages.
The decision divided the commission, however, with Chairman Stephan Andranian and Vice Chairman Byron de Arakal saying they didn't see a reason to treat this particular application differently and questioning whether a narrower operating window could put Pivot Naturals at a competitive disadvantage with other businesses.
City Councilman John Stephens requested that the council review the application, citing both the operating hours and another requirement that the site's parking area be resurfaced and re-striped prior to the business opening.
Residential incentive overlay
Once again, council members are scheduled to determine whether to scrap the city's "residential incentive overlay," which allows development of up to 40 housing units per acre at specific nodes along Harbor and Newport boulevards.
That item was on the council's Oct. 2 agenda, but was delayed as the meeting approached midnight.
Although it's never been used, the overlay has been divisive since it was created as part of the 2016 update to the city's general plan — with opponents saying it would permit overly dense and slipshod building and supporters saying it could spur redevelopment of blighted or undesirable properties, such as some local motels.
Tuesday's City Council meeting starts at 6 p.m. in City Hall, 77 Fair Drive.

SANTIAGO – The Chilean government yesterday launched a campaign to reduce obesity, which affects 34 percent of the South American country's population over 15 years old, the Ministry of Agriculture said in a statement.
"We have to develop people's awareness to reduce the diseases caused by overweight and malnutrition, which is why we are here, making a call and promoting the consumption of fruits and vegetables," said Agriculture Minister Antonio Walker.
Hoy, junto a @EligeVivirSano, @FAOChile y la Subsecretaría de Salud Pública, celebramos el #DíaDeLaAlimentación en el @metrodesantiago. Mira el video que resume la actividad y te invito a que junto a tu familia puedas optar siempre por una alimentación saludable. 🍏🍌🍒🌽🥦🥔🥑🍇 pic.twitter.com/LKFyqa1Q6g
— Antonio Walker (@antoniowalkerp) October 16, 2018
The government will take measures to combat obesity which is now one of the country's major health concerns, according to the statement.
The minister was joined by several authorities for World Food Day, which is celebrated every year around the world on Oct. 16, to promote healthy diet following the "worrying" figures released by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
Nos sumamos a la conmemoración del #DíaMundialDeLaAlimentación. En el mundo, 1.900 millones de personas tienen sobrepeso, de las cuales 672 millones son obesas. Revirtamos esas cifras alimentándonos de forma sana y nutritiva. #ChileLoCuidamosTodos pic.twitter.com/pJfgHI3Xxe
— Ministerio de Salud (@ministeriosalud) October 16, 2018
According to FAO, Chile has the second highest rates of obesity among countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and the number of obese population aged over 15 grew by 9.3 percent between 2016 and 2017. The US, with 40% of its adult population with obesity, leads the ranking.
In 2016, Chile ranked the eighth among the OECD countries, with 25.1 percent of obese adults of the population, and the number reached 34 percent in 2018.
In the case of children under 5, FAO indicates that Chile has one of the highest rates of child overweight in Latin America and the Caribbean, with 9.3%.
According to FAO, Chile does not comply with the minimum recommendations for the consumption of water, fruits, vegetables, dairy products and fish.
"We are facing a critical nutritional situation, overweight and obesity are deteriorating the well-being of the Chilean population and increasing the risk of noncommunicable diseases, such as heart attacks, diabetes and certain types of cancer," said Eve Crowley, FAO representative in Chile.
"The causes of this phenomenon are multiple, but it is mainly associated with poor eating habits, excessive consumption of ultra-processed products and poor physical activity," explained Crowley.
To counteract these indicators, Chile launched a strict food labeling law, which, among other measures, forced the modification of the famous McDonald's Happy Box and the withdrawal of the Kinder Surprise from the display cabinets.
The initiative, considered one of the most restrictive at the global level, forces manufacturers to put stamps on labels that warn consumers about unhealthy foods and restrict their advertising.
Hunger increases and affects 39 million people in Latin America
The latest FAO report also states that hunger has increased in the last three years in the world. In the case of Chile, the prevalence of undernourishment, that is, proportion of the population that does not meet the minimum daily energy requirements for a healthy and active life, reaches 3.3%, which is equivalent to 700,000 people.
"We must not forget that there are still pockets of serious food insecurity in the country, so we must fight the double burden of malnutrition," concluded the FAO representative.

When Is It Time To Sell Your Property?
There are a number of reasons as to why someone might be tempted to sell off their rental property in Killeen or Central Texas. Ultimately, it tends to come down to the desire to simplify one's life. You may have income streams that serve to make the need to own and maintain a rental property irrelevant. You may simply be tired of dealing with the stress that is sometimes inherent in owning a rental property in Killeen or Harker Heights, even with a good management company based in Central Texas in your corner.
Regardless of your reasons, when it comes to selling your property, there are certain times that are more ideal than others.
The Best Times To Sell Your Rental Property
When it comes to owning and maintaining a rental property in Central Texas, the temptation is to hold on to the property for the rest of your life. After all, land is not limitless, but the need to have a place to live is limitless.
However, at the end of the day, you're going to get to a point in which the benefits of selling take precedence over everything else. When you begin to think along those terms, you'll want to consider the following scenarios for selling:
- When the depreciation benefit comes to an end: Depreciation refers to the non-cash expense that all rental property owners can take. Accelerating your depreciation is one option, but straight-line depreciation remains the most popular approach. The formula breaks down to determining the building value, which involves subtracting the purchase price from the land value. From there, you're going to divide that figure by 27.5, which will then give you the annual allowable depreciation deduction.
- When it becomes possible to access your 401(K) or IRA: This can happen at age 59.5. Hopefully, by the time you reach this age, you will have a decent amount of capital stored up in either of these options. If you do, and you get to the point in which there are no fees for early withdrawal, it might be time to sell off the rental property.
- When you start picking up Social Security and Medicare: Although you can begin to collect these things as young as 62, most people tend to wait a little longer than that. Chances are, by the time you're about 65, you'll be ready to simplify your life to a significant degree. If you find yourself in a position of being able to collect from a reliable, strong revenue stream, then it might be time to sell off your property.

By Paul Cooper
Mankind has always lived among its own ruins. Since our earliest history, we have explored ruined places, feared them and drawn inspiration from them, and we can trace that complex fascination in our art and writing.
Sixth Century BCE Babylonians feared the ruins of the previous Sumerian and Assyrian civilisations
One remarkable ancient artefact, a Babylonian world map from the Sixth Century BCE, marks the beginning of this obsession. The map, inscribed on a clay tablet, shows how ancient people imagined the quadrants of the earth: it describes lands of serpents, dragons, and scorpion-men, the far northern regions "where the sun is never seen", and a great body of water they called "the bitter river".
But the map also makes one other curious reference. It describes "ruined cities… watched over by… the ruined gods". By that time, the ruins of great cities like Ur, Uruk and Nineveh already littered the landscape, destroyed and abandoned due to natural causes or cataclysmic wars. These ruined places were thought to be places of magic, terrible warnings to living humans and the haunts of ghosts and evil spirits.

I picked up this special Record Store Day release becuase I love Kim Deal. To be a real music geek, it's almost required – Deal played major roles in the Pixies and the Breeders, two of the most important rock bands of the late-twentieth century. For a music aficionado to say they don't like her would almost be akin to a math genius saying they don't like the Pythgorean Theorem. Deal is that important to modern rock music – she brings equal parts fun, brilliance and chaos to her tunes, all wrought with an originality of spirit that is the key to her standout approach.
Pacer was released in between the Breeder's breakout album (1993's Last Splash) and their break-the-mold album (2002's Title TK). The latter was widely disappointing and confusing for fans who discovered the band through Splash, but many long-time fans hail TK as a masterpiece. It's too bad that Pacer was relelased under a different band name (Deal didn't want to use Breeders since no other original members were featured on Pacer), because it could have helped to bridge this gap for listeners. Listening to Splash and TK back to back presents quite a hard cutoff – they almost sound like they were recorded by two different bands, and to be fair, the albums were released almost ten years apart. Had Pacer been the Breeders' follow-up to Splash, it would have given newer fans more of a clue not only to what direction they were heading in for TK, but what the band was really all about to begin with. "Cannonball" is a great song, but it's not a definitive Breeders track – it's way catchier and way less experiemental than almost anything they have done. That's why Pacer could have been such a happy medium – it boasts a good chunk of catchy tunes, as well as the no holds barred experimentation hardcore Breeders fans have come to know and love.
Beyond that, Pacer is a damn good record. There are some aspects of the album that seem, well, uncomfortable during initial listens – random tempo changes, odd sound effects and recording techniques, and strange, lo-fi-psychedelia permeate the album. People have claimed that Deal gets off on alienating her listeners, but I completely disagree. What she gets off on is doing things her way, and she knows there are lots of people out there who really dig "her way". She probably feels lucky to have anyone like that at all, and simply doesn't want to compromise what she wants (and obviously, what they want) for something millions of other random people who couldn't care less about the next Breeders album would want. It's almost as if Deal treats herself and her musical exploits like a secret club, with her own little Dealster members. (She's like the original Lady Gaga! I'm kidding, of course…but only partially.) If that's the case, I say jolly damn good show, Ms. Deal, especially since you made a more than worthy follow up to one Breeders album and put another band's name on it only to put out your next album – your most challenging one to date – as the Breeders. That takes balls, and you just KNOW her record company was not happy with this decision. And she probably loved that!
Let's set all that nonsense aside and talk about the tunes, though. There is no "Cannonball", but none of these songs are starving for a good, sing-able Deal melody (except for the uber-experimental psychedelic tune "Hoverin'" which, though it sounds as if the band is just messing around in the studio, was recorded by the Breeders a couple years earlier). "Breaking the Split Screen Barrier" is the song that best combines Deal's knack for great melody and her stubborn experimental ways, and "Bragging Party" (which was also released as a special 7″ last Record Store Day), with it's single potential, proves Deal didn't take the experimental approach for a lack of great ideas. I also love the fact that Pacer contains a song co-written with fellow Daytonite Robert Pollard (of Guided by Voices) – technically two songs, but Deal combined them into one, "I Am Decided". Pollard gave them as a gift to Deal as a gesture of thanks in return for her producing a couple GBV sessions (which would end up on my favorite GBV album Under the Bushes, Under the Stars). It definitely makes sense to me why Pollard and Deal get along – they both seem to put all their energy into making their songs as weird as possible, since writing great ones just seems to come naturally. ***1/2
Listening Again? Yes
Two videos were made for the album, one for the title track and one for "Tipp City"…
…but I like these songs better.

Three Winthrop & Weinstine Intellectual Property attorneys will speak at the 2017 Midwest IP Institute on September 28, 2017 in Minneapolis, MN. Steve Baird will speak on "Trademark Registration and the First Amendment;" Tim Sitzmann will discuss "The Year in Trademark Law: Noteworthy Decisions and Their Impact on Your Practice." Draeke Weseman will also speak at the Intistute, addressing "Strategies for Overcoming Descriptive, Geographic and Surname Refusals."
Steve Baird's session will focus on Matal v. Tam (formerly Lee v. Tam). In this case, the Supreme Court unanimously held by a vote of 8-to-0 that Section 2(a) of the Lanham Act prohibiting the registration of trademarks that consist of or comprise matter which may disparage violates the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Learn about this landmark decision, striking down a 70-year old federal statute, and witness a dynamic discussion as one of Simon Tam's winning lawyers faces off against the Minnesota lawyer who was the architect of the legal theory behind the challenge to the Washington Redskins trademark registrations over the last quarter-century. The practical and legal implications of the Supreme Court's decision in Tam will be fully explored.
Tim Sitzmann will explore significant trademark decisions from the past year and their practical implications for in-house and outside counsel. The issues span the gamut from claims for attorney's fees under the Lanham Act; ownership disputes; parodies and the fair use defense; and more.
Draeke Weseman explains how Section 2(e) of the Lanham Act provides a number of possible roadblocks to registration of your client's trademark. Learn what the Examining Attorney's burden is for maintaining these types of refusals under Section 2(e) and gain valuable strategies for overcoming them.
The 2017 Midwest IP Institute will keep you on top of all the latest developments. From the impact of recent Supreme Court decisions (Halo Electronics, TC Heartland, Lexmark International, Tam and Apple v. Samsung) to other significant case law and legislative developments, you will be completely updated on topics critical to your IP practice. Guest speakers from across the country will join a faculty of talented IP lawyers from Minnesota to provide you with the most current guidance in all aspects of IP law, transactions and litigation.

CLEVELAND -- Cleveland, rocked.
And Joe Girardi, you're officially off the hook.
The Yankees pulled off a shocker on Wednesday night, rallying back from an 0-2 series deficit to stun the favored Indians 5-2 in Game 5 at Progressive Field and advance to the ALCS.
The Bombers became just the 10th team in MLB history to rally back from an 0-2 deficit en route to winning a best-of-five series.
Didi Gregorius, who came into the series with one hit in 13 at-bats, homered twice against Corey Kluber, stunning the soldout crowd and giving the Yankees a 3-0 lead.
Kluber, the likely 2017 AL Cy Young award winner, posted a 12.79 ERA in the ALDS, surrendering nine runs and four homers in 6.1 innings (two starts).
CC Sabathia tied his season-high with nine strikeouts before giving up four straight singles with one out in the fifth. RBI hits by Roberto Perez and Giovanny Urshela forced Girardi to turn to David Robertson, who got a 6-3 doubleplay to get out of the frame.
Aroldis Chapman, the $86 million closer who suffered a blown save in Game 7 of the World Series, recorded the final six outs. He hasn't allowed a run since August.
Brett Gardner culminated a 12-pitch at-bat against Cody Allen with a two-out, RBI single in the ninth that scored a pair of runs due to an error, sending droves of fans to the exits. It led to "Let's Go Yankees!" chants.
The Tribe won an AL record 22 straight games during the regular season, and had won 35 of 39 in taking the first two games of the series from the Bombers.
But things turned after Girardi's massive managerial blunder in Game 2, with Masahiro Tanaka and Luis Severino picking him up at home.
And then, his team took care of business in a do-or-die game on the road.
The Astros await.
CC Sabathia got off the mound quickly to make a basket catch on Robert Perez's bunt attempt. Sabathia then slid on his knees, chuckling after the fact.
Didi Gregorius' solo shot in the first inning and two-run shot in the third — both off Corey Kluber.
Didi Gregorius. Anyone who hits two homers off Corey Kluber and singles off Andrew Miller in the same game is a lock.
16. Aaron Judge finished the ALDS with 16 strikeouts — a new record.
David Robertson produced eight outs in relief of CC Sabathia.
Aaron Judge, who went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. It was his third four-strikeout game this series. Gary Sanchez and Greg Bird both struck out three times.
Friday at Houston (Game 1), 8 p.m.: TBA vs. Dallas Keuchel (14-5, 2.90 ERA regular season)

The world of Theorrey runs like a well-oiled machine.
The elements are in balance, passion is tamed and the young queen
is the heartbeat of it all. But in these two all-new stories of
elemental steam, nothing is ever as it seems…
Earthly DesiresDemeter "Dare" Senedal is the Queen's Chalice-her protector and closest companion. So when the queen goes missing,
Dare rushes to locate her, even though the search leads her straight into trouble. A gentleman who trades in secrets and sin, Bodhan revels in carnal delights, but when a naked and bound woman appears on his shore, he finds his hunger to possess at odds with his need to protect. As Bodhan shares his knowledge of pleasure, Dare must decide if she can trust him, both with her mission and her heart.
Fiery TemptationsSeraphina always lands on her feet. After all, she is a Felidae-more feline than human-and an excellent thief.
There has never been a job Phina wouldn't take or a man who could tame her…until she meets Cyrus Arendal. As the Queen's Sword, Cyrus should have known better than to fall victim to a beautiful bandit.
Now, to find and retrieve the moonfire dagger, he'll need to convince Phina not to judge a man by his station,
but rather by how completely he can satisfy her desires. **** You can buy Geared for Pleasure at Amazon and Barnes and Noble and check out more at the Smutketeers' blog.

[RHYT-1894] - Security - CWE-548 - Disable directory browsing by default when running under jetty
The default Jetty configuration was hardened to disallow directory browsing for directories with no index page.
Defects Corrected in the Patch
[RHYT-1366] - Accessibility - Unable to select Content from DCE using keyboard shortcuts
An issue with keyboard navigation in the DCE was corrected. Tabbing through folders and expanding folders should now work correctly with tab and right arrow keys. Tabbing to a content item in the Content explorer and using the enter key should now correctly display the content editor for that item.
[RHYT-1707] - Rhythmyx Language Tool fails to start with class not found errors on Logging jars
An issue was corrected that prevented the Rhythmyx Language Tool for starting. After applying the patch the tool should start without errors.
[RHYT-1722] - sql.jsp and logs.jsp utilities needs to be updated to read the jetty log when running under jetty

If you have not customized or overriden the defaults/start.d/jvm.ini file with a base/start.d/jvm.ini file then no action is required.
[RHYT-1866] - JRE.BAK and JRE64.BAK on patch installation should reside in the individual patch's backup folder and not in the Rhtyhmyx_Home folder
Prior patches that updated the JRE backed up the JRE to the <Installation Directory>. This creates issues when uninstalling / re-installing patches. The backups have now been moved to the <patch dir>/backups folder.
[RHYT-1907] - jetty/defaults/etc/perc-webdefault.xml is not overriding the settings in upstream/etc/webdefault.xml

The SVG mime type will be available in server default content mime/types after installing this patch. SVG images are supported as Files.
Known Issues
Java 1.8 update 161-171 - DCE Crashing When Switching between Applications
Client side Java JRE update 161 through update 171 introduced a regression in Oracle's web view JavaFX control that caused the DCE to crash when switching between applications. Update 172 greatly improves on this issue, with a complete fix by Oracle targetting a July release.
RHYT-1634 - fixes an issue where you could not save in the UI if setting up ssl. There is still an issue where the tool is only currently saving Jetty ssl configuration. JBoss will need to be manually configured. If you select a keystore to be used you should make sure you add the jetty server keystore in the jetty\base\etc folder and use just the filename in the UI. in the base\etc\installation.properties file that is updated by the UI the selected filename will be appended with 'etc/' to make it relative to the jetty\base folder. Currently selecting a Full windows path e.g. starting with "c:\" will cause the service to fail to start. This issue will be addressed in a future patch.
RHYT-1909 - Patch should fail to install if an error occurs backing up or deploying the JRE or JRE64 runtimes
When installing patches it is important to make sure that the user installing the patch has the necessary permissions to create, read, write and delete files in the Rhythmyx installation tree. Typically under windows this means that the Command Prompt should be "Run as Administrator" and on Linux sudo su <rhythmyxuser> -. If an error like a permissions error, occurs during patch install and the JRE folder's cannot be written to. The patch may log the error to the console but continue to report that the patch was installed successfully. This issue will be addressed in the next Rhythmyx patch.

A picture is worth a thousand words, and a screenshot is worth a thousand bug reports!
If you build websites or web/mobile/desktop apps, it's always super helpful to include screenshots when logging issues. Not only do screenshots help everyone on your team see exactly what you're experiencing, but they also prevent wasting time with the dreaded "Works on My Machine" auto-response.
While you've always been able to attach screenshots to DoneDone issues, the process required you first save the screenshot as a local image file, then drop the image into DoneDone. It was a multi-step process that also could leave your desktop with a mess of image shortcuts.
Last week, we made a time-saving update for Chrome users. You can now simply take a screenshot, then paste it directly from your clipboard into DoneDone:
Now there's no need to waste time saving your screenshot image to your desktop!
Not sure how to take a screenshot?
