dress: Geld Iaz, 1999 | eyewear: Ray Ban, 2004
last day in Miami Beach, boooo. took lots of photos of dead washed-up jellyfish, they look like aliens. pretty, colorful aliens.
lunch at The Setai again, really it's my favorite.
crochet/mesh halter-top: Geld Iaz, 2005 | swimsuit: Geld Iaz, 2004 | hat: Zadig & Voltaire, 2009 | eyewear: Ray Ban, 2003 | bag: Geld Iaz, 2004
here's that top again, it's something of a travel staple, it gets to go to all the fun sunny resorts and whatnot. poolside lunch at The Setai. dinner at Cecconi in the Soho Beach House.
dress: Geld Iaz, 2004 | hat: Zadig & Voltaire, 2009 | eyewear: Ray Ban, 2004
Miami Beach, day 2. gorgeous weather, hung out at the beach most of the day. late breakfast at The Setai. drinks by the pool. dinner at Mr Chow.
dress: Geld Iaz, 1998 | hat: Zadig & Voltaire, 2009 | eyewear: Ray Ban, 2004 | bag: courtesy of The Raleigh, 2011
i love Miami. true, i grew to hate it when i lived here in the winter of 1992, but what can i say. it's a great place to visit…
although currently my new favorite hotels are The W and The Setai, they were both entirely booked up due to the big annual boat show. so back to The Raleigh it was— ah, the memories. the poor Raleigh isn't quite the same now as back in the golden olden Andre Balazs days, but it's still a special little gem.
late breakfast by the pool; met friends for dinner at Prime 112 (even though i kinda can't stand that place).
jacket: ? (Seoul), 2007 | skirt: Geld Iaz, 1999 | boots: Sportmax, 2010 | eyewear: street vendor, 2006 | bag: Fendi, 2007
happened across these old pair of shades i bought years ago from a street vendor (for $6) just because i liked the tint of the lenses and frame (even though i already owned a good dozen pair of designer sunglasses). i'd brought them home and played with them, adding some spare rhinestones i had, to jazz them up a wee bit. so aha haa i decided to sport them for Fashion Week, as something of a fashion-lover/hater's anti-Fashion statement. they're kinda neat actually, they make everything glow this great golden hue, so it seems like the sun is shining even when it's not. which is not a bad way to cheer yourself up, like light-therapy or something.
the thing about Fashion Week is you're often obliged to go places and be fashionable even when you aren't in the mood. and there's lots of walking, because so much is crammed into one day and of course the taxicabs are scarce. don't let the amateur fashionistas fool you—- during Fashion Week it's really the comfy flat shoes that are your best friend.
i'm only showing a few photos from the shows, because you can see pictures like this everywhere (even in ads and whatnot). whenever other style bloggers i like post runway shots, i get irritated and bored— it's always the bloggers' own personal styles i find most intriguing. to me, these people make Anna Wintour— like, totally obsolete.
hey, would you like to take a sneak-peek preview at Armin Amiri's Mister H at The Mondrian hotel, where the Prabal Gurung and Derek Lam after-parties were hosted this weekend? it's likely to be the new jumpoff, whenever it officially opens.
if so, please visit PX This…
dress: Geld Iaz, 1999 | hat: Kangol, 2009 | briefcase: Prada, 2006
a perfect brutally freezing day to sit by the fireplace and enjoy hot brandy-spiked apple cider at The Bowery Hotel. two very good clients happened to be there too. a woman across the way spent the entire time complaining about her boss at LVMH. happy Fashion Week.

Community Live: Let's get serious about training
If you haven't yet registered for this year's customer conference, Community Live, not only are you missing out on BIG early bird savings, but you could also be missing out on ROI busting product training. Community Live is the only place where you will get a choice of 16 different training sessions and access to an array of FinancialForce experts. It's a great way for you to maximize investment in your FinancialForce products.
Based on customer feedback from previous years, the London and Las Vegas events have been extended by a day this year to offer a full day of training in both locations. The training includes hands-on sessions, where you will be led by an instructor to perform specific real-time tasks within our applications. And for the lecture style training, you will be provided with a workbook and an org so that you can go away and practice the exercises you've seen in your own time.
The power of hands-on training is undeniable
Adults learn experientially. As Deb Peterson explains in her article on Experimental Learning, adults learn better when they experience what they're learning. Hands-on training is focused on that very premise – learn then try on your own.
Hands-on training provides a safe learning environment
Simulations used in hands-on training sessions, based on real life scenarios will reflect several challenges with the software you might face when returning to the job. Mistakes happen during the course of learning, and using simulations with 'fake' data means having fun while learning new things, in a safe controlled environment.
Hands-on training links theory and practice
Hands-on training will include fundamental theory but by moving beyond theory to the realm of "learning by doing,' the trainee gets a first-hand experience of practicing what has been taught. This plays a crucial role in retaining concepts and ideas.
Hands-on training increases engagement levels
Hands-on learning brings into play not only student–instructor interaction but also peer-to-peer interaction. This focus on collaboration and learning from each other benefits the attendee as it increases engagement.
Hands-on training delivers exceptional Return on Investment
Experiential learning is personal and effective in nature, influencing both feelings and emotions as well as enhancing knowledge and skills. It goes beyond classroom learning and ensures that there is high level of retention, thereby delivering exceptional ROI over a traditional learning program.
Hear the benefits FinancialForce customers have seen first hand:
"I have just done my first uploaded bank reconciliation for May in half a day instead of the normal 2! Many thanks for the training."
"Very well presented with a lot of passion behind the content."
"I have definitely learnt new skills today that I can take back and use in my business."
Let's take a closer look at some of the sessions on offer at Community Live 2017.
FinancialForce Reporting Ninjas (full day)
Targeted at: Users of FinancialForce Accounting who would like to learn more about reporting tools.
Abstract: Get hands on with the suite of FinancialForce reporting tools. Learn how to speed up your reporting processes to get the maximum insight from your data, and report like a ninja.

First I will try to keep this top part SPOILER free, there is an after credit scene in the movie X-Men Days of Future Past so be sure to stick around and see it. The scene ties into next film.

Trial of Jean Grey - X-Men team up with the Guardians of the Galaxy
Now Spoilers, Spoilers and Spoilers...
Final Spoiler Warning...
Summary of scene - The seen opens with a sea of people bowing down and worshiping. They are chanting En Sabah Nur which means "The First One." The scene pans and you see that a pyramid is being constructed by floating blocks assembling a pyramid.
We then see the object of the worshiper's attention a Pharaoh dressed character is staring at the Pyramid, his skin is noticeably blue. The Pharaoh character's attention is focused on the pyramid where it can be surmised he is the one assembling the structure using telepathy. As the camera further pans we see a silhouette of four riders on horse back looking down upon the sea of people.
The film offers no explanation of this scene so many X-Men movie fans are likely confused.
The scene is a direct reference to an X-men mega villain named Apocalypse. Next to Magneto, Apocalypse is the X-Men's greatest villain. His real name is En Sabah Nur (the First One) which references that he is the first mutant. He eventually changes his name to Apocalypse after being enraged for being spurned by a woman for his blue/gray skin.
Who is Apocalypse? Why is he Important to the X-men?
He is an ancient, immortal mutant with vast technology and the desire for dominating all life on the planet. The scene basically tells us that there is an Apocalypse in this universe, he is ancient like his comic counterpart, and he has / uses four horsemen like his comic counterpart. He will also have multiple powers that include telepathy that he is using to construct the pyramids.
Who is Apocalypse? Why is he Important to the X-men?
The more you learn about Apocalypse the more the next movie is intriguing. The X-Men and really no Comic Book Movies come to mind at having attempted to show a battle with something as powerful as Apocalypse. In many ways it will be like battling Godzilla. See below for more information on Apocalypse and even how he is defeated.

With an aim to build its digital commerce business in the Philippines and other emerging markets, Voyager Innovations, the digital innovations unit of Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT) and Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart), have acquired Singapore-based eCommerce platform start-up Paywhere PTE Ltd.
This is in line with Voyager's thrust of building its digital commerce business in the Philippines and other emerging markets.
Paywhere is the company behind online store creator TackThis!, a cloud based eCommerce platform that operates on a software as a service (SaaS) model. It enables entrepreneurs and businesses to set up their online store in just a few steps and allows them – among many other things – to showcase their products on various online platforms, manage their store inventory, and accept payments through a variety of local providers.
TackThis! allows merchants to easily integrate their stores to social media sites like Facebook, as well as blog sites like Tumblr and Blogspot, or personal blogs.
On top of regular features that can conveniently enable entrepreneurs and small business to set up their own online stores, Voyager Innovations together with PLDT Alpha Enterprise and PLDT SME Nation recently launched its premium concierge service in an event targeting a thousand larger retailers. The concierge service covers professional online store creation, store management of logistics, payments and customer service via a team of TackThis! Ambassadors.
The TackThis! eCommerce platform has around 30,000 registered users across Southeast Asia where it is complemented by Takatack, an online shopping discovery platform for various products including those posted using TackThis! More than 400 merchants, meanwhile, are already part of the TackThis! Concierge program.
Voyager Innovations, as a digital economy platform enabler, is building up its portfolio of solutions in the areas of eCommerce, payments, and digital content and access, among others, with an eye on the emerging markets, starting with the Philippines and adjacent countries.
"We want to reduce the complexities, the technological barriers, and the cost to deliver that comes with bringing a store online. With this acquisition of Paywhere, we are establishing a stronger foothold in existing markets as well as taking the opportunity to expand to new ones," said Orlando B. Vea, president and CEO of Voyager Innovations.
According to Vea, the opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is significant. In emerging markets, for example, only 1% to 5% of SMEs have websites, and only a fraction of those would have transactional online stores. In the case of the Philippines, there are 1 million registered SMEs, with only 1% of them having websites.
Braving the online shift by creating an online store will help these SMEs accelerate the growth of their businesses.
"As more and more people are going online with increasing Internet penetration, going into digital commerce is imperative for businesses. In other words, having an online store for businesses is not just about presence – it's about empowerment," Vea added.
"Voyager is passionate in creating digital innovations of the future. By joining their team, we have more opportunities to onboard merchants onto the TackThis! platform. I look forward to seeing TackThis! scale internationally, much in the same way we've seen the platform help entrepreneurs grow their businesses," said Dickson Gregory, co-founder and CEO of Paywhere.
Gregory founded Paywhere in Singapore together with Chief Operating Officer Damian Chow and Chief Technology Officer Vincent Lau in 2010. They will retain their office at Blk 71, which is part of LaunchPad, the upcoming 'Silicon Valley' of Singapore.
"As consumer buying behavior shifts online, the future of retail is commerce everywhere – in store, on the web, and on your mobile device. With this development, we aim to grow TackThis! as the social commerce platform in the emerging markets." said Mitch Padua, Vice President and head for digital commerce at Voyager Innovations.
Early this July, Paywhere was cited by the Singapore Computer Society as one of the top ten tech companies to work for.
Paywhere was incubated by Red Dot Ventures, National Research Foundation, and NUS Enterprise, which supported the company during its early days through its mentorship, financial advice, and event linkages. Red Dot Ventures is an approved seed stage technology incubator under the National Research Foundation's Technology Incubation Scheme.
The acquisition of Paywhere advances the mission of Voyager Innovations to enable the digital economy in emerging markets. Since 2014, Voyager Innovations has been working with Paywhere in marketing TackThis! In the Philippines.

Our first of two "Community Congress" meetings will be held on Tuesday, January 29, 2013, from 7:00 – 9:00 PM at Babeville, the former Asbury Church on Delaware Ave. in downtown Buffalo.
At this event, we will introduce this effort and hear citizen voices about the vision and values that should guide our plan.
Because no plan for sustainable development can succeed without the creative contribution and informed support of the citizens of the Buffalo Niagara Region, the One Region Forward process will involve thorough and persistent engagement of the people it will impact the most.

Nigerian music sensation, Wizkid is currently gaining new grounds, as popular American Fader magazine, has named his 'Ojuelegba Remix', the 12th best song of the year.
Describing the song, the magazine wrote: "Let's get what we all already know out of the way: Drake hopped on this song from Nigerian artist Wizkid for a remix, generously making the song more famous (at least in America) than it might've been on its own in 2015.
But let me state this clearly and definitively: the song never needed him. No matter the celebrity, you can't improve on perfection, even if the Skepta verse that accompanied Drake's on the remix was pretty great. No,"Ojuelegba" is best on its own, a graceful slice of rhythm that does not need cultural translation.
Popcaan's "Everything Nice," the iconic global jam from last summer, it has a message of grace, thankfulness, and happy perseverance that resonates in every home. And that beat? It's got a shoulder-shrugging momentum so joyful, how could it not have wound its way all over the world?".
The list is topped by Skrillex and Diplo's 'Where are you now' featuring Justin Bieber.
Wizkid's song lands on number 12 after Drake's Hotline Bling (4th) and Kendrick Lamar's Alright (11th).

A shooting star reached heavenward on Sunday, November 20, 2011, and its glow can still be seen.
Garrett Uekman's Story
Garrett was a dedicated student and a talented athlete. He attended Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic School in North Little Rock and graduated from Little Rock Catholic High School for Boys in 2010. Like many young men, Garrett dreamed of playing college football; and in the spring of his senior year, he signed with the Arkansas Razorbacks as a tight end.
He worked tirelessly to become a superior athlete and dedicated student while at the University of Arkansas. Uekman, a top 10 Arkansas recruit, recorded 56 catches for 600 yards as a senior at Catholic High. After redshirting his freshman year at the U of A, Uekman saw action in 9 games in 2011, including the Mississippi State game played at War Memorial before family and friends. Sadly, that game was Garrett's final Razorback game. He died suddenly the next day on Sunday, November 20, 2011 of an enlarged heart.
Out of their grief, friends and family came together to create a non-profit foundation in his memory to raise funds for heart disease education and to fund scholarships for deserving student athletes. Last October, the Foundation pledged $100,000 to fund an endowed memorial scholarship within Razorback Athletics to honor Garrett's memory. When the scholarship is fully funded, a Razorback student athlete will be recognized each year in perpetuity.
The Board of Directors of the Garrett Uekman Foundation along with the Uekman family thank all of the sponsors, volunteers, coaches and student-athletes that support our organization's endeavors.

Dear Glade,
I thought we were friends. I thought we really had something, but you went and pulled my favorite fragrance. The 2011 limited edition cinnamon chiffon candles were the most glorious candle you ever released and now I have depleted my stash and only have 2½ candles left. These candles have been my signature fragrance between the months of October and February since 2011. My home smells deliciously of this frothy cinnamon concoction. The smell is heavy enough that it fills my living area, but light enough that I don't feel overpowered. As I burn my candles, each passing hour brings me both joy and despair as I know our time is coming to an end.
I have done my research, Glade, and I know that I can buy the oils from a seller on eBay. I know that I can buy bottles of the spray as well, but let's be clear, it is not the same. I have spent hours sniffing candles to find a scent as fabulous as cinnamon chiffon. I dip my nose into jars of cold wax and inhale deeply trying to match the happiness that your cinnamon chiffon brought me. The feeling has not yet been replicated. Last night I had a moment of happiness when I smelled The Bath and Body Works candle titled Champaign Toast. For a moment I thought this could be the replacement, but alas, it is still not the glory that is cinnamon chiffon.
Glade, you and I have been friends for years. In my mid-twenties I took great comfort in the banana pear candles I would burn. They had a lovely light sent and filled my little apartment with much joy. As a longtime customer I want you to be aware that people like me exist. We enjoy our routines and are most content when our homes smell fresh and inviting. Perhaps, once you release a fragrance you could also list when the limited edition items will no longer be available, so people like me can create a stockpile much like a doomsday prepper.
Thank you,
Heather Carvell
PS: Cashmere Woods is good, Glade, but it just isn't the same and we both know it.

My life changed forever when I was 13 years old. Up until this time, my thoughts were filled with jumping my BMX bike off curbs and lighting things on fire in my back yard. This day didn't seem all that different from any other day, but it became the day that divided my life into two. It was on this day I lost my pop-culture virginity to Depeche Mode.
I can always remember important days because the oddest details stick in my mind. I remember sitting cross-legged on the floor in Justin Holcher's room. The thick carpet cluttered with Dungeons & Dragons pieces, magazines, and a new red skateboard his mom bought him. More important than these details is that Justin put a tape into the boom box and pressed play. A slow, dark, synthesized sound began to build through the speakers. Then a quickened beat pulsed and my heart began to beat faster. "Let's have a black celebration. Black celebration. Tonight," began the full voice of David Gahan, lead singer of Depeche Mode. I was mesmerized. At this moment, all the details in the world became muted except for the song. I stared at the little black box waiting for every word, listening like I had to capture each new idea birthed from the speakers.
The education from Black Celebration continued with "Fly on the Windscreen," which cut my illusion of childhood immortality like a Ginsu knife. "Death is everywhere. There are flies on the windscreen for a start reminding us we could be torn apart tonight." As a teenager, the thought of death never crossed my mind. Yet, in some sort of nihilistic disregard for mortality, Gahan used death as a pick-up line, "death is everywhere, the more I look, the more I see, the more I feel a sense of urgency tonight. Come here, touch me, kiss me, touch me now." This song was only foreplay for the blatant sexuality to come.
Black Celebration introduced me into the warm, tingly thoughts of sex like a kid who stumbled into his dad's hidden stash of Playboys. I have to confess, at 13, I was a late bloomer, having missed the big E on the eye chart when it came to Sex Ed. I didn't know this because the norm for me was my father whose first kiss was my mom in college. Yet, the next several songs pushed deeper into a dark place of sensuality. Their songs dealt with teen sex in "A Question of Time," the casual sex and the loss of virginity in "World Full of Nothing," to the nakedness of "Stripped." Depeche Mode wasn't afraid to portray a colder reality of sex in "It Doesn't Matter," as Martin Gore writes, "Though it feels good now I know it's only for now." It was with this album I entered through a pop-culture rite of passage.
Depeche Mode pulled back the curtain and exposed a new reality for me. Through their lyrics I began to transition from the safety of childhood into something that felt dangerous and exciting. I felt like I had a new decoder ring to unravel secret messages that my parents and teachers would never dare to speak about. I'll always remember Black Celebration nostalgically as my first. It has been a while since I've returned to Depeche Mode because my tastes have changed over the years, but my education continues to this day. It continues each time I turn on the radio, watch a movie or flip through a magazine. Pop-culture has become a pimp in my life that influences my speech, the clothes I wear, and the decisions I make whether I like it or not. What started with an innocent encounter years ago has led me to be a man slut to pop-culture.

|(My nine year old said, "That's not Jesus, that's Desmond!")
I will not post a spoiler face as I encourage you to take the journey yourself. For me, a few things emerged, that I would like to share. First of all, the Jesus is a Jewish man. Now I knew this intellectually but for some reason the mental image I had in my head was the Hollywood version of Christ. Second, was that when they revealed him at the end of the film my breath was taken away and my first thought was, "I know you!" I knew him on an elemental level that is beyond description. I knew him in my Soul.

"Can you give any suggestions on a good
recipe for rhubarb wine?" Terry Groth
Rhubarb wine is one of those wines you either love or hate. My wife doesn't like the taste of rhubarb in any form, but I do. As a result, I don't make it often and only make a gallon at a time when I do.
Rhubarb contains an excess of oxalic acid, which is what gives it the taste some people find unpleasant. But oxalic acid can be easily removed (as in the recipe below) and the wine will be better for it. Although rhubarb wine has its own taste, it is excellent for blending because it will take up the flavor of whatever it is blended with and in the process will lose most of its own flavor.
If you're not sure you'll like it, you can always make a one-gallon batch and freeze enough rhubarb for another batch or two later. You can save space by crushing the rhubarb and freezing the juice.
Wash the rhubarb and cut into 1/2-inch lengths. Crush with a piece of sterilized hardwood (the end of a baseball bat is perfect) and put into primary. Dissolve crushed Campden tablet in gallon of cold water and pour over rhubarb. Cover primary and let set for three days, stirring daily. Strain through a nylon straining bag and squeeze as much liquid as possible from the pulp. Discard pulp and return liquor to primary. Add the precipitated chalk (obtainable at winemaking shop). The liquor will fizz, but then settle down. Wait 3 hours and taste. If oxalic acid taste is still too strong, add another 1/2 oz of precipitated chalk. Stir in all remaining ingredients, making sure the sugar dissolves completely. (NOTE: You may want to hold back one pound of the sugar and add it after fermentation is well on its way.) Cover and set aside overnight. Transfer to secondary and fit airlock, but to allow for foaming during fermentation hold back a pint or so in a small bottle plugged with cotton. When ferment settles down (5-7 days), top up with reserved liquor and refit airlock. Set aside in cool place until wine begins to clear. Rack, refit airlock and top up. Allow at least another two months, making sure fermentation has ceased, and rack again. If possible, cold stabilize wine for 30 days. If you can't cold stabilize, at least allow the wine the additional 30 days. Rack into bottles or blend with another wine.
If you bottle the rhubarb wine pure, it is drinkable right away. If you blend it, age it according to instructions for the wine you are blending with. If you make a 3-5-gallon batch, add 1/8 tsp tannin per gallon when you add the other dry ingredients to extend the life of the wine. [Author's own recipe]
My thanks to Terry Groth for the request.

The G1W-S Car Dash Camera with 32GB micro SD card is the latest model from the G1W series, featuring better low-light video recording and more reliability. Compared to earlier models, the G1W-S comes with a more advanced sensor and an improved lens, adding more detail to your footage. Designed to help you protect yourself on the road, the camera has all of the features you need to ward off reckless drivers and fraudulent insurance claims. Stay safe everywhere you drive with the G1W-S Car Dash Camera.
This powerful dash camera records full 1080p HD video and audio, helping you see important details like license plates and street signs. It records everything using an improved 145-degree wide-angle lens for a greater scope of view, giving you a clear picture of both sides of the road. Just attach the camera to your windshield using the included suction mount and you'll be able to see everything that's happening in front of your car.
Unlike previous versions of the G1W, the G1W-S Car Dash Cam comes equipped with a high-quality sensor that's perfect for low-light video recording. The camera is designed to pick up important details even when daylight and streetlights are scarce. If you get into an accident after the sun goes down, you can rest assured that you'll have all of the evidence on video.
Instead of using a battery like some of the previous G1W models, the G1W-S Car Dash Cam is more reliable because it runs on a capacitor that plugs directly into your car. This gives the camera continuous power, so you don't have to worry about keeping the battery charged. The capacitor also helps protect the camera during the summer and winter. Dash camera batteries tend to fail when they're exposed to excessive heat and freezing temperatures.
Overall, the camera is designed for hands-off accident surveillance. It comes with a loop recording feature that automatically writes over your old footage when your memory card is full. You don't have to worry about running out of storage space in the middle of your trip. Just focus on the road and the G1W-S does the rest of the work for you.
The camera also includes a built-in G-sensor that can detect when something or someone impacts your vehicle. It safely stores your accident footage on the memory card, protecting it from the overwrite feature. You can relax knowing that the camera will never accidentally delete crucial evidence, even if your memory card is almost full.
The G1W-S Car Dash Camera is also extremely easy to use. It automatically turns on as soon as you start your engine for continuous accident surveillance. Regardless of what's happening on the road, the camera will always be on and ready to record. Get complete peace of mind every time you drive with the G1W-S Car Dash Camera.

BlackBerry Torch 10000 spotted in Asurion Mobile Protection system
I've been curious to see where RIM would go with its next generation model numbers since we've reached numbers as high as 9930 and 9981. According to the system for Asurion which is a company that insures mobiles, a BlackBerry Torch 10000 for AT&T is listed. This device could and SHOULD be the new QNX (BlackBerry 10) enabled BlackBerry smartphone It looks like RIM is going with 5 digit model numbers now instead of the 4 since they ran out. This is interesting.

Always puzzled what is a marketing plan, the place to start out writing a plan, what to include in a marketing plan, when to write a marketing plan? Therefore a key effort of Marketing right this moment should be to supply financial wellness content that, in an attention-grabbing, timely and engaging method, helps members and others in your subject of membership turn into more financially savvy and keep away from these financial establishments without the same values we get pleasure from in credit score unions to deliver these shoppers awareness there's a more sensible choice.
More responsive campaigns that may learn" the channels where customers interact and rapidly reply with essentially the most appropriate creative, message and supply across all screens (for example, using a single set of frequency capping, remarketing and inventive optimization alerts across the whole campaign, helping to ship the correct advert as users move via the marketing funnel—from consciousness to conversion).
Marketing is commonly left out of the development planning, but if you're a small indie studio and need to do everything your self, then you will want to schedule a lot of time for marketing to get probably the most out of it. Remember that you just spend a lot time making an awesome recreation, it could be a waste to not do the very best you'll be able to to advertise!
With software as a service, you can even see what options your trial customers are actually using and are most concerned with, and incorporate this information into your marketing and gross sales response (on the particular person consumer degree, leveraging marketing automation – you possibly can even build characteristic utilization into your lead scoring mannequin to indicate gross sales readiness).

John Gibson
John David Gibson
July 25, 1946
Los Angeles, California, U.S.
|Talk show host
|Years active
|Susan McHugh (1979–present)
John David Gibson (born July 25, 1946) is an American radio talk show host. As of September 2008, he hosts the syndicated radio program The John Gibson Show. Gibson was formerly the co-host of the weekday edition of The Big Story on the Fox News television channel.
Gibson earned a BA from the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television. He began his reporting career with The Hollywood Reporter (1969–1972) and worked for Atlantic Records (1972–1974). Gibson worked for KFWB-AM (1974–1975) and KEYT-TV (1975–1977). At KCRA, he was a feature reporter on the Weeknight magazine show (1977–1979) and San Francisco bureau chief (1979–1989).[1]
Beginning in 1992, Gibson worked as an NBC News correspondent in Burbank, California. In 1994, he became the first West coast correspondent for NBC News Channel. He covered the 1995 O. J. Simpson trial for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman for NBC News Channel and Rivera Live on CNBC.[2] In 1996 he was named anchor for daytime programming on MSNBC, where he covered the Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky scandal in 1998.[1]
Gibson joined the Fox News Channel in September 2000 as the host of its news program The Big Story. In 2007 Heather Nauert joined The Big Story as his co-host. He also wrote the New York Times bestselling books Hating America: The New World Sport and The War on Christmas.[2]
On March 12, 2008, Fox News Channel announced The Big Story was being replaced with America's Election Headquarters, a program more directly geared toward following the 2008 U.S. presidential election.[3] The Big Story was not renewed after the election and was replaced with The Glenn Beck Program in January 2009. He was a regular guest-panelist on Fox's late-night satire show Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld, and was often the butt of jokes on episodes in which he didn't appear.
As of September 2008, he hosts the syndicated radio program The John Gibson Show. At first the show was on Fox News Radio, but since 2017 it's been syndicated by the Genesis Communications Network.
Gibson vs. the BBC
In 2004 Gibson said that the British Broadcasting Corporation was anti-American, accusing the BBC of having "a frothing-at-the-mouth anti-Americanism that was obsessive, irrational and dishonest".[4] He also said that reporter Andrew Gilligan, who was covering the 2003 Iraq War for BBC Radio 4 in Baghdad, had, "insisted on air that the Iraqi Army was heroically repulsing an incompetent American military".[5]
Gibson's criticisms were rejected by Ofcom when it investigated viewer complaints of Gibson's item. Ofcom also found that Gibson's broadcast was in violation of several UK television regulations, concluding that Gibson's commentary did not display a "respect for truth", failed to offer the BBC a chance to respond to the allegations, and was based on "false evidence."[6]
Public comments
Gibson as a commentator often attracts criticism.[7][8][9][10]
Following the 2007 SuccessTech Academy shooting in Cleveland, Ohio, on his radio show Gibson commented "I knew the shooter was white. I knew he would have shot himself. Hip-hoppers don't do that. They shoot and move on to shoot again. And I could tell right away because he killed himself. Hip hoppers shooters don't do that. They shoot and move on."[11]
In a 2008 edition of his radio show, Gibson commented on actor Heath Ledger's death the day before. He opened the segment with funeral music and played a clip of Jake Gyllenhaal's famous line "I wish I knew how to quit you" from Ledger's film Brokeback Mountain; he then said "Well, I guess he found out how to quit you." Among other remarks, Gibson called Ledger a "weirdo" with "a serious drug problem".[12] The next day, he addressed outcry over his remarks by saying that they were in the context of jokes he had been making for months about Brokeback Mountain, and that "There's no point in passing up a good joke."[13] Gibson later apologized on his television and radio shows.[14][15]
In February 2009, Attorney General Eric Holder had given a speech to Justice Department employees as a part of the observance of Black History Month during which he described the United States as being a "nation of cowards" in its reluctance to discuss racial relations. Gibson criticized Holder's remarks as inappropriate. John Sanders, who at the time was technology reporter for WBAL-TV in Baltimore, then intentionally edited Gibson's remarks which had followed news reports of a monkey who had escaped from a Seattle zoo, making it appear that Gibson had compared Holder to a monkey "with a bright blue scrotum" on Fox. Sanders then posted the altered video on YouTube without a disclaimer that it was a joke.[16] Because of this, the video was widely publicized on news websites, including liberal The Huffington Post, as if it were authentic.[16] Sanders was fired over the video, and Gibson said that the spread of the fake video has had a "personal" impact upon him.[16]

Android 4.0 ICS update for LG Optimus 2X : It's Late but better than never:
LG has finally announced official Ice Cream sandwich ICS update for LG Optimus 2X, this is one of the much awaited updates, nearly about one and a half year. This update was expected this late, as we in our post mentioned with detail, that what this update is going to have and when it's going to be available.
Today devices are being updated to jelly bean 4.1 and 4.2, but LG just left its one of the most powerful device of its time, and now are updating it to ICS. This update is available to Europe via OTA (Over the air). The new firmware version is V30a.
This new update gives Optimus 2X to enjoy a new user interface with new LG launcher. it's is going to be attractive than before, though LG announced source code of this Device but have also released it update, now it might help developers more to bring new and customized ROMs by getting idea from this update.
This late update of LG Optimus to ICS is no doubt sign that this device is not getting next official update, that is it's not going to get Jelly Bean update, but we hope from developers to not leave this device behind as LG did and bring out more and more fun stuffs and ROM for such devices.
We hope that LG will learn lesson from this and will support its new devices like LG Optimus G, in updating it to latest firmware versions.
what you people think will LG repeat the same as they did with Optimus 2X or will not leave their new devices?

|My new favorite logo, by Chris Silas Neal/NPR
The good people at National Public Radio have pulled together a list of 100 notable science fiction and fantasy books, culled from reader suggestions and finalized by an expert panel. Now they're asking the public to vote for their 10 favorites. Go cast your votes, people! This is our chance to let the world wallow in our excellent taste!
It's actually a fun list to peruse, a veritable suggested reading list. And its range is vast. Connie Willis' Doomsday Book, probably one of the best things I've ever read, is on there. So are Jasper Fforde, Roger Zelazny, China Mieville, Robin Hobb, Terry Pratchett and Robin McKinley, to name a very few. Chances are, you'll find something you've read and loved. How will you ever narrow it down to just 10?
Also, once you check the list, you can join me in my outrage at the omissions: Where is Good Omens, I ask you? Where?? And Codex Alera made it, but Harry Dresen didn't? Bah! Still and all, I do love me a good book list, don't you?

This Curios post is prompted by the confluent arrival of two books related to two things I am fond of: pulp pocket editions and Shirley Jackson.
These are Ace pocket editions of Shirley Jackson's Hangsaman and The Sundial. You probably know Ace, whether you know you do or not, and you probably know Shirley Jackson, whether you know you do or not. And if you don't, I'm here to tell you you should.
Ace is a long-running publisher of sci-fi, fantasy, and dozens of other genres; one of many publishers, like Dell and Avon, of those cheap, thin paperbacks you've passed over in thrift stores and that most used bookstores (including us) have a box or two of somewhere. But Ace also published books that were just too racy or out-there for their times. They were the first to publish William Gibson's Neuromancer, for example, and William S. Burroughs's first publication, Junkie, was an Ace Double, a format that packaged two novels in one so that each side of the wraps was the cover of one of the novels. Their reputation was for publishing books that were considered trash, but in doing so they managed to rack up a remarkable list of quality authors and novels that more reputable publishers just wouldn't touch (but they also published a lot of trash).
One of their other genre specialties was gothic or horror novels. And that's why you may know Shirley Jackson, as well as why Ace published her. At some point in high school or college you probably had to read her short story, "The Lottery," about a small town that performs a horrifying ritual sacrifice each year. If you didn't have to read it in high school, here's an MP3 of actress Maureen Stapleton reading the story. Many of her novels and stories have a grisly or gruesome plot point, like collective, ritual murder, though she manages them with a remarkable subtlety that is all the more disturbing for being so. You may also have seen one of my favorite movies, The Haunting, based on her novel, The Haunting of Hill House. The 1963 film was directed by Robert Wise, who also directed The Sound of Music and West Side Story, among other things. (Run with all speed from the terrible remake from the late 90s, also called The Haunting.)
We have some of Jackson's other works on the shelves at Bibliohead, so even if you couldn't care less about vintage pulp editions, you should stop by and give Mrs. Jackson a shot. Let Jonathan Lethem convince you, if I haven't.
(Thanks for the page on the Ace Double version of Junkie goes to RealityStudio.org, an unbelievably useful, helpful, and friendly resource for all sating all your William S. Burroughs cravings.)
Curios is a periodic series about an interesting used book; rare or common, expensive or cheap, we hope it's a book you didn't know you were looking for.

Bringing QoS to end-user standards
The phone call setup experience and perception of voice quality are the biggest factors contributing to the user's satisfaction. However, while the dialing experience can be objectively measured, the caller's judgment of voice quality is subjective. Find out which four factors end users expect and how to meet those specifications.
The setup and completion of a successful VoIP call do not necessarily have the reliability, stability or predictability of legacy telephony voice services. The performance of traditional telephony can be achieved in Voice over IP (VoIP)/IP telephony deployments only through adequate performance monitoring, measurement and management. What to monitor, measure and manage are now the responsibility of both voice and data technicians.
A caller's phone call setup experience and perception of voice quality are the biggest factors contributing to user satisfaction. While the dialing experience can be objectively measured, however, the caller's judgment of voice quality is subjective.
"A common misunderstanding centers around what constitutes call quality," said Dr. Fiona Lodge at www.prognosis.com. "It's essential that enterprises understand [that] voice quality and call quality are two very different beasts -- each tamed and measured in different ways."
"Enterprises can't afford the risk of providing poor service levels, or a failure to meet compliance standards," she said. "Obviously, voice quality is a big piece of the puzzle, but if you only monitor and manage this small piece, you're missing the bigger picture – and may in fact have a system that provides unacceptable 'experience' levels – even though voice quality is fine." A phone call starts when the user picks up the phone and finishes when the caller disconnects. The calling experience should include all the events and performance that occur during the call. The calling experience is the quality experienced by the user for the entire call, including but not limited to voice quality.
Voice quality alone does not include the other elements -- the delay-to-dial tone, connection success or busy signal, and service availability -- which make up a satisfactory call. Satisfactory evaluation of the calling experience must include what happens when a caller picks up the phone and attempts to connect to the telephone service, all the way through to the disconnect process.
Quality of Experience (QoE) is a newer term that Psytechnics, www.psytechnics.com and Microsoft use that is also related to voice quality and the Mean Opinion Score (MOS). Microsoft has published a paper, "Quality of Experience, A Strategic Competitive Advantage of Microsoft Unified Communications," found here. The use of the term Quality of Experience in this paper is mostly a discussion of the elements of voice quality and the impairments in an IP network. This paper is worth accessing for these impairment discussions.
The caller's experience includes four factors: call quality, voice quality and service quality, which are experienced on every call; and usability of supplementary services, which may also be employed.
- Call quality – Does the caller receive a dial tone within a reasonable period of time -- less than one second? Does the PBX or PSTN complete the call connection? Is the call disconnected properly? Quantifiable parameters should be established, and numerical objectives should be set and then measured for their delivery.
- Voice quality – Can the caller hear the other party? VoIP calls can work in one direction only because of network problems. Is the call loud enough? Can the speaker be recognized? Are the words garbled, distorted or robotic sounding? Is there noise on the call? Parameters for voice quality should be determined, and objectives should be set and then measured for their delivery. Data networks experience latency, jitter and packet loss that cause degraded voice quality. The IP phone's design can compensate for these data network problems. There are, however, significant differences in each vendor's IP phone's ability to fix the data network problems. The IP phones are not all the same in their voice quality performance, especially when the call traverses a WAN. The Mean Opinion Score (MOS) is the numeric value assigned to voice quality. The MOS is used to compare the voice quality performance of different vendors' IP phones.
- Service quality – Is the endpoint, or network, busy? Is the call lost, a condition that occurs with VoIP and is hard to troubleshoot? Was the caller connected to the correct party? Can 800/900 numbers be accessed? Are some phone numbers blocked? There is a very long list of possibilities for service quality.
- Usability of supplementary services – Does the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) application work properly? Does the speech and speaker recognition system work successfully? Does the voice mailbox have adequate storage for the calls? Does the voice mailbox allow a long enough message? One major enterprise allows only a 15-second voice message.
Voice quality is important. The other three factors -- call quality, service quality and the usability of supplementary services -- should also be considered when determining the user's satisfaction when placing a voice call.
