I had another shoot last week for a magazine coming out this July. This time, I was being featured as a designer. Woot! It's really a different kind of high whenever I get included in these lists as a designer. Don't get me wrong, not that I don't think of blogging highly but designing really is my first love. It's what got me started in this industry and it's what I'm most passionate about.
Whenever I get featured as a designer, I try my best to wear one of my own creations and to let it speak for itself–minimal accessorizing and just quiet sophistication. The dress I'm wearing is called our Laura dress. I know a lot of you have been missing the good old Coexist days when we would upload new designs every month. I'm just having a hard time squeezing a photoshoot in for them but as I've constantly been saying, visit our branches! If you want to order this online, it's P3150 and is also available in beige.

A very exciting news is the under test Twitter app for Google Glass. True or False, but it is very thrilling to see your tweets hands free through glass eyes. But the tweet which displays information is now deleted.
Twitter has already developed its official Twitter app for Google Glass. This is really an exciting news if it is true. Jonathan Gottfried has told in his recent tweet, which is now deleted, that Twitter may already have created an app for Google Glass. This news or may be a rumor is first reported by TechCrunch.
According to TechCrunch, Twilio's Developer Evangelist, Jonathan Gottfried first see images coming up from an app called Twitter for Glass. From where these images are popped up, it supports the same #throughglass hashtag that Jonathan is also using on his own TweetGlass project and that Google puts on G+ images shared from the device. Actually Jonathan has already built a quick and dirty app called GlassTweet, which lets you share photos to Twitter, rather than the out-of-the-box experience of sending shots to Google+. Hence he tweeted same image via his twitter feed.
Twitter has yet made no comments on the news. And tweet that gives info is being deleted, so no investigation is possible . Hence, nothing is confirmed yet. So we have to stick on and wait till Twitter launches the app in real.

What is a Kohlfahrt?
That, my friend, is a good question. Unless you are from north-west Germany, chances are you will never have heard of this flatulently-suggestive German word.
It was the same question I had several weeks prior, when some friends invited me "to go on" one. This further deepened the intrigue… What does one do on a Kohlfahrt?
We can try to break it down. Kohl = Cabbage. Fahrt = Trip.
Cabbage trip. Great.
Let's have a quick history lesson to discover why I was about to depart on this so-called cabbage trip.
Back in 19th century Bremen and Oldenburg, wealthy businessmen would drive to country inns by horse and cart to eat Kale (German: Grünkohl) – the hero of this story . Grünkohl is a hearty winter vegetable that only develops its full flavour after the first frost and only once the celebrations of the Christmas seasons were out of the way would thoughts would turn to the Kohlfahrt.
As the years passed the horses vanished from the equation, cross-country entertainment was devised and this quaint tradition morphed into today's schnapps-soaked winter ramble.
Kohlfahrt in seven easy steps:
1. Prepare (your schnapps glass). It should be tied around your neck to ensure it is not lost on the way (even if you are). Rain jackets, decorated umbrellas, rubber boots and dress-up items are recommended.
2. Begin the Fahrt (not forgetting your handcart to transport refreshments/tipsy Fahrters) and set forth into the wildnerness. Stop on the orders of your Kohl King/ Queen and at every crossing and bridge.
3. Here, use the aforementioned schnapps glass. Liberally. It's cold outside and the traditional accompaniment to the forthcoming fatty feast is spirits in large quantities.
4. Compete in a series of utterly serious* games on the way. Our events of the inverse gumboot throw (pictured), the hammer race and frigid, German sayings charades may or may not be typical. Like Swedish Midsummer, the 'how' is much more important than the 'why', but be careful of rising victorious at the end – the new King or Queen must organise next year's Fahrt.
*Seriously silly.
5. Enjoy the ride; the Kohlfahrt journey is at least as enjoyable as the destination, despite what your frozen toes may be telling you.
6. When you finally reach the Inn (for us, a flat in the northern wilds of Wedding), glowing from biting cold or Jägermeister, you will eat one of the heaviest meals in your life. Grünkohl, smoked Pinkel sausage, potatoes and pork neck. More schnapps will more than likely be present.
7. Sleep. Hopefully you have planned ahead to stay at the inn or at least have someone picking you up. Otherwise, you my friend have a long Fahrt ahead.

How much should Electronic Arts pay for Take-Two Interactive Software? That seems to be the main sticking point for the deal that has now been extended three times. EA has offered to pay $25.74 per share of the company, but many see that figure to simply be too low. The company hasn't sold for less than $26 since May 1st. With the Grand Theft Auto IV numbers still rolling in at a staggering pace ($500 million in the first week of sales) and a movie deal in the works for Bioshock, EA has to prove to Take-Two that they money that they're offering is enough.
There's also the fact that EA had a last than stellar last year, and their current outlook isn't too pretty either. The general theory is that they're the ones that need Take-Two, instead of the other way around. EA is trying to diversify their brand by taking a page from Nintendo's playbook and releasing the "Freestyle" versions of their sports hits on the Wii. Combine these new games with Take-Two's more hardcore gaming genre, and they would have all of their bases covered. Right now, it's up to Take Two… and so far, they're not biting.

Doors to Diplomacy
The U. S. Department of State sponsors the "Doors to Diplomacy" educational challenge to encourage middle school and high school students around the world to produce web projects that teach others about the importance of international affairs and diplomacy. Each winning student team member receives a $2,000 scholarship, and the winning coaches' schools each receive a $500 cash award.
International CyberFair
International Schools CyberFair is an award-winning authentic learning program used by schools and youth organizations around the world. Based on the concept of the World's Fair youth create virtual exhibits that showcase their community. They conduct research and publish their findings on the Web. Recognition is given to the best projects in each of eight categories. This White House-endorsed program encourages youth to become community ambassadors by working collaboratively and using technology to share what they have learned. Students evaluate each other's projects by using a unique online evaluation tool. CyberFair has been running annually since 1995 and has been described as the largest educational event of its kind ever held on the Internet. This program brings together more than 2.5 million students across 115 countries. In partnership with the World Future Society, students are encouraged to prepare for the future – by thinking about the possible future, the probable future, the preferable future and the preventable future. Projects that best illustrate "future thinking" are invited to the World Future Society international conference in July.
Online Expeditions
Thanks to the Internet you can have incredible adventures in exotic locales without spending a dime or leaving the room. Whether explorers travel the Silk Road of China or climb Mt. Everest, learning becomes an unforgettable adventure as students join thrilling, real-time expeditions to remote and fascinating locations. Observe daily progress and read field dispatches. Best of all, interact with real world adventurers through intriguing dialogue as they re-enact history—or even make history! Online expeditions can be a blast!

Five Questions With... Jordana Brewster
Fast and Furious star Jordana Brewster shares her beauty secrets for looking and feeling great.
This is the first in a new series of Q&A sessions with celebrity moms. We launch with Fast and Furious star Jordana Brewster. I spoke with her over the phone.
After stalking your Instagram, it looks like you travel a lot…any tips for moms traveling with kids?
Preparation is key—I start packing for trips with my kids (Julian, age 4, and Rowan, age 1) about a week in advance, and think of things little by little. How many wipes do I need? What kind of snacks will we need? Small things like that. I try not to rely too much on the iPad for the kids' entertainment while traveling, so I'll bring along crayons and a coloring book, and let them pick out their ten favorite action figures to bring along for the ride.
What's your favorite activity to do with children?
I love going to the playground with Julian. They have a pirate ship there, and I really enjoy seeing him make believe and use his imagination. He makes me laugh!
What is one beauty struggle you have come across?
I get super puffy eyes and a red nose when suffering from allergies, which isn't always pretty. Zyrtec has been a savior for relieving these symptoms, which is why I teamed up with them to create tips and tricks to mask the dreaded "allergy face." I use an eye depuffer (like the SK-II Signs Eye Mask) to reduce swelling, and add false lashes to look more awake and less groggy. I prefer the individual ones (like Ardell Lashes)—sometimes the strips can look too fake on me. A good concealer is key—I love the YSL Touche Eclat Radiance Perfecting Pen—and waterproof mascara that won't budge with watery eyes—try the L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Waterproof Mascara.
What are your desert island beauty products?
Mascara, baby oil (to take off my mascara), the YSL Touche Eclat Radiance Perfecting Pen, lip balm and Zyrtec.
What are the best tips you've learned from makeup artists and hairstylists after getting prepped for so many TV shows and events?
Two things I've learned from the pros: 1. Filling in your brows (especially as you age) makes all the difference in the world. 2. Learning how to apply fake lashes* has been a huge gamechanger for me—I just love that they make my eyes pop that much more.

It's now late December; the weather has been dismal,
dull, grey, and wet.
dull, grey, and wet.
On the odd day when the sun has showed, there have been some glorious sunsets, like this one over the garden.
The pear tree feeding station still attracting good variety of birds.
House sparrow numbers seem to have dwindled from those recorded during the summer months,
A Male Sparrowhawk has been seen twice this month, once making an abortive attack on a Parakeet, the second on a Starling, both occasions when I have been tree trimming, which makes me wonder whether I am being used as a diversion tactic. May also be the reason why there are not many sparrows around the garden.
Other absentee's are the Goldfinches, the Niger feeders remain untouched all month.
Starlings on the other hand remain in good numbers feeding on apples, fat-balls, and peanuts.
A pair of Blackbirds coming to the garden regularly now, did not breed in our garden this year.
Strange but true,On returning from my late evening dog walk, at 10.30pm in total darkness, I made my way to the garden,
as the security light came on I was startled as Blackbird flew over my head and flopped into the ivy behind me where it remained for some time, I had obviously disturbed it feeding from a nearby bird table, but in total darkness.
I have heard Robins singing late into the night but never birds feeding.
Robin has been seen most days, usually skulking around the fish pond undergrowth
A pair of Magpies have been coming to the garden lately, one of which has become rather partial to the fat balls, which it has discovered it can just reach from a strategic perch.
Ring Necked Parakeets still visiting the pear tree, usually early morning and early evening.
As you can see from the following photographs a very varied diet, very acrobatic and very watchable
This parakeet was taking peanuts from the feeder, it would then fly to a branch, hold the peanut in its claw and slowly enjoy its prize.
What a difference it makes when the sun is shining !!

One of perks of being a runner is that training provides the perfect opportunity to explore places on foot. I am in Turkey for 2 1/2 weeks and then in the Netherlands for five days. Both are family visits.
My sister has been living in Istanbul for nearly three years. After a visit in September 2007, I am back to see her. The difference between this time and the last is that she has become a runner too.
She started running in early 2008 with the goal of completing the 10km Nike Human race in
Istanbul. She did, and then trained for the 15km of Istanbul held in October. She completed that one as well and is still following a training routine that involves running four days a week.
Needless to say that I am so proud of her. She visited me in Canada earlier this year for 10 days and we did our runs together. Now we have a chance to do so again. Today is our long run and she will take me to the forests near Kylios.
I am looking forward to running outside as we have done our training on the treadmill this week. Mostly because when she returns home for work it is already pitch black outside.
Another reason is that last year I had an unpleasant encounter here with a couple of the many street dogs that roam this area. While most of them are friendly and asleep, early in the morning hunger puts some of them in a bad mood as they search for food. I was in the unfortunate position to run into a couple of those. Luckily, a local was around to help me out but the experience made me more cautious about running along the streets in this area early in the morning.
When I go to the Netherlands later this month, I plan to do the same 10km race I did there last year. This certified and flat 10km race was the first where I managed to run sub-41 mins. Since then I have broken 40 minutes twice, before suffering a few months of sluggishness and slower times in training and racing including a 10km of 41mins of change. That's a few months ago and I feel much better now so I am very keen to test my current level of fitness.

The Mechanisms of Collaboration:
Research Clusters and Faculty Working Groups
Since interdisciplinarity, connectivity, and collaboration are the original aims of the Corridor initiative, designated areas of shared scholarly strength were defined as "Clusters" that comprised "Working Groups" of faculty.
- Clusters are defined as broad thematic rubrics; they are both broadly conceived and intentionally interdisciplinary.
- Working groups are groups of scholars working on an issue/project under a cluster or thematic rubric.
- There can be several working groups in any given cluster.
Clusters have been redefined over time, and new clusters have been added.
This cluster aims to supplement archival research in any of the other cluster areas (e.g., Visual Arts and Culture, Musicology/Performance Studies), and to support research in new media as well as issues of preservation and exchange of historical media archives.
Shared Strengths:
- In the past few years, importantly scholarly works on the history of recorded sound have appeared and there is much interest inside and outside of academia in this area of research
- Cornell University and Eastman School of Music are positioned to become a leader in this emerging field of study. University of Rochester's Sibley Library, Belfer Audio Laborartory and Archive, Cornell University Ornithology Lab, Cornell Kroch Library (Hip Hop and Goldsen Archive) are together among the largest collections of recorded sound material in North America. In addition, the Sibley contains many special collections related to early periods of sound recording
- The Cornell University Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art is the country's largest archive of new media and sound art. It is engaged in collaborations with regional not-for-profit- institutions, such as the Experimental Television Center (Oswego, New York) and Visual Studies Workshop (Rochester, New York), and has engaged in collaborations with faculty in regional liberal arts colleges (Colgate University, Hobart & William Smith College, Ithaca College)
- University of Rochester has recently concluded a memorandum of understanding to engage in teaching, research, and public outreach with the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film
- In the research of issues pertaining to practices of exchange and the changing issues around the archive, a potential area of collaboration between the schools of architecture at Syracuse and Cornell, as well as related projects in history, comparative literature, visual studies, anthropology, and art
PIs Gregg Lambert, Joan Rubin, and Paul Fleming have sponsored successful events in the digital humanities within their respective humanities programs and they are nurturing working groups of local faculty with planning grants.
Shared Strengths:
- This cluster has identified common interests on all campuses in digital theory and culture; computing for literary and historical research; as well as artistic explorations in music, architecture, and art.
- The cluster benefits from the Digital Humanities Initiative at Cornell's Society for the Humanities and its collaboration in this area with the University of Toronto.
- Events have included participants from all campuses and have shared visitors (Laura Mandel's successful visit to Cornell University resulted in her return to University of Rochester a year later). Participation has ranged across disciplines from Information Science to Africana Studies.
This new cluster supports historical inquiry across the humanities, fostering research within history as a discipline and across disciplinary contexts. To cultivate mutual exchange and scholarly collaboration, the cluster welcomes scholars working within and across regional, cultural, and national boundaries, drawing on comparative, transnational, or global perspectives, and those working in historical studies using interdisciplinary and/or thematic approaches.
Working groups might focus on particular periods and/or geographic regions of the world—or might use varied lenses to address a particular line of inquiry across temporal and geographic bounds (e.g., the Atlantic world). Working groups might concentrate on comparative or transnational approaches to multiple regions, address diverse historical methods and heterogeneous interpretive practices, or take up particular theoretical/ethical/political debates in historical inquiry, broadly conceived (e.g., theories of the archive).
Potential for collaboration exists within various strengths in historical studies across the Corridor including, but not limited to: social history; labor studies and economic history; early modern studies; race, gender, sexuality, and disability studies; histories of social movements; political history/political thought; history of science and medicine; intellectual history; and histories of empire, colonialism, and settler colonialism.
This new for 2020 cluster is aimed at field-building in the humanities, diversity, pipelines, pedagogies and methods, futures, interdisciplinary fields, and also topical/timely themes in the humanities (health, rural, environmental). Those scholars interested in rethinking doctoral education and graduate programs, graduate studies, public humanities, and/or pedagogies and methods may find a fit within this cluster.
Well-established before the CNY Humanities Corridor began, collaboration among Linguistics faculty has increased, strengthening their ties across campuses and developing new working groups. They have gathered semi-annually in workshops and were the first cluster to establish programming around a distinguished research collaborator.
Shared Strengths:
- Special foci in Computational Linguistics; Syracuse University and Cornell University especially strong in Syntax
Historic and Existing Bridges include:
- Mutual interchange and cooperation
- Graduate students take courses at each campus via exchange program
- Faculty exchange to teach in each program or sit in on seminars on other campuses
- Visiting lecturers, conferences, shared among programs on websites
- Faculty and graduate students travel to attend events on each campus
This cluster was proposed on the basis of shared strengths and faculty resources in languages and literatures across the Corridor, including faculty from regional liberal arts colleges and universities. Existing working groups in this cluster include those collaborating on Victorian, 18th Century, and Early Modern periods. Other working groups include those working within ethnic studies and international literature.
In an area full of very active performers, musicologists, and ethnomusicologists this cluster of Corridor funding has encouraged collaborative research and performance. The faculty members of the Musicology/Performance Studies cluster have exchanged teaching and conducting podia; brought world-class musicians to play side by side with their graduate students, who composed the works being played; have invited pre-eminent performance studies scholars to conduct mini-seminars; and have collaboratively staged works from the distant past, engaging in vibrant practice-based research. Film music scholars have held symposia and Syracuse University's Bird Library archivist brought together artists, lawyers and producers to discuss copyright law and musicians.
Shared Strengths:
- CNY has rich, ethnically diverse musical tradition, and the three research institutions have outstanding faculty in music, musicology, film and media studies, performance studies, and drama.
- University of Rochester's Eastman School of Music stands among the very top-ranked programs in musicology in the country and Cornell University has a rich history of linking musicology with historical performance practices. At Syracuse University, the Department of Arts and Music Histories in the College of Arts and Sciences is one of the highest-ranked research departments at the institution; the Setnor School of Music is a comprehensive conservatory with a wide-range of performance and academic opportunities; and SU has one of the top Drama programs in the nation.
- Musicology/Performance Studies is a focal area in which our regional university library archives present a strong catalyst for the faculty initiative.
- University of Rochester's Sibley music library at Eastman is the largest academic music library in North America with strengths in individual composers; Belfer Audio Laboratory and Archive at Syracuse University is one of the four largest archives of recorded sound in the country with rich holdings from early period of sound recording; Cornell University Music Library also has rich holdings. These audio, manuscript, and print archives form an exceptional scholarly resource in support of this cluster.
This cluster is well-established across the Corridor, with regard to Philosophy as a discipline, and open to cross-disciplinary work in philosophical studies and critical theory more broadly. To foster mutual interchange, communication, and scholarly collaboration, its working groups hold workshops and small symposia to host visiting speakers, present works in progress, support reading groups, and hold joint seminars. For instance, one group sponsors a summer conference around a theme. Another group used funds to design a website so members could keep in touch. A third group conducted a graduate class, engaging graduate students and faculty from all three Corridor universities. These are but a few examples of the possible activities that can be supported.
Shared Strengths:
In addition to philosophy faculties and doctoral programs in the Anglo-American tradition, with strengths in Metaphysics and Epistemology, Corridor strengths in the field of Philosophy can also be found in the History of Philosophy, Ancient Philosophy and Classics; German Philosophy, including Kant and post-Kantian studies, Ethics & Political Philosophy, Philosophy of Education, and Philosophy of Language.
Substantial expertise in critical theory and Continental Philosophy lies across the Corridor in literary studies, visual and cultural studies, architecture, arts faculties, interdisciplinary fields (e.g. Africana/Black studies, Women's/Gender/Sexuality Studies, Latinx/Latin-American Studies, Native American/Indigenous Studies, Disability Studies, and Asian/Asian American Studies), and in the interpretive social sciences. These varied theoretical-philosophical approaches examine culture, texts, representation, and social structures to unpack social, historical, and ideological forces.
Existing and Potential Linkages Include:
Graduate students taking courses at different campuses via exchange program
Pedagogical and curricular innovation, via faculty teaching in each program or sitting in on seminars on other campuses
Visiting lecturers, conferences, symposia shared among programs, physically and on websites
Faculty and graduate student travel to attend events on each campus
Active support of an established regional philosophy organization, the Creighton Club
The Visual Arts and Culture working groups have attracted faculty from various departments and disciplines in the Corridor across the fields of Visual Studies and Art History. They have sponsored workshops, conferences, film and speaker tours, joint graduate seminars, art exhibitions, and visiting collaborations. The cluster also includes the public humanities and architecture working groups; another area of future expansion and new working groups are planned for faculty in Arts and Music Histories, and significant amount of reserve has been set aside for this purpose in the budget allocation for this cluster.
Shared Strengths:
- University of Rochester has international prominence for faculty in the Visual and Cultural Studies (VCS) program: combines faculty from Modern Languages, Film Studies, English, Art, Art History, and Anthropology: socio-historical perspective brings coherence, and electronic journal
- Invisible Culture brings attention for their imaginative interdisciplinary approach to visual rhetoric; cognate programs at Cornell University (visual arts and culture) and (art, architecture, and art history, as well as languages, anthropology, and other departments)
- Overlapping interests span several humanistic areas and constitute a regional opportunity to combine strengths at faculty and doctoral level
- Cornell University has recently established a Visual Studies Concentration which links faculty in Faculty of Arts and Sciences with School of Art, Architecture, and Planning, along with the Institute for Comparative Modernities, across theory and practice. Cornell University also maintains the Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art, the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, and the Wen Pu Archive of Chinese Avant-garde Art, a major resource for the study of global digital arts
- All three research institutions have strong national programs and scholarship in Arts and Music Histories and historical areas of research that will become the emphasis of new working groups and research collaboration

Eighteen February 1965 saw the Union Jack lowered and the Gambian flag raised. We became a nation that is called The Gambia. Britain did not believe that Gambia will survive as a nation. For 18 February 1965 is only significant as a day marking "the birth of an improbable nation".
But here we are today celebrating fifty years of nationhood. As we celebrate fifty years of nationhood we must congratulate and pay tribute to those who led us to independence, those men and women who with dedication and determination laid a solid foundation for nation building.
Therefore, National Disaster Management Agency congratulate the leadership both past and present and every Gambian on this great national birthday.
Long live the Gambia, long live our peaceful co-existence, long live the APRC government and long live the determination to survive against all odds. Thank you.

Bath Cleaning Tips
Really a particularly cruel paradox that the shower is definitely one of the filthiest places inside your bathroom. Whilst you may be lured to ignore the issue until your lease is definitely up or your family's in town, doing this particular actually means that you aren't washing yourself with mould. Quality maid services in the Worcester MA describe how to clean the particular shower.
To find out there more about all the particular terrifying things lurking within your shower, read upon.
The shower curtain
Let's take a begin with the even more obvious things that create your bathing space completely disgusting, like that awful shower curtain that's protected in moldy spots. Also the ones that costs themselves as "mold-free" can eventually create a yeast growth that will convert plastic shower curtains straight into something resembling Gorgonzola. Maintaining the shower curtain shut will help -- whenever the material folds back again on itself, water can become trapped, creating the welcoming home for mildew and mold and mold.
Clean this up: Leave the drape dangling on its fishing rod, treat problem areas using a bleach-based spray cleaner, plus use a sponge in order to scrub away mold plus mildew; wash it within the machine using frosty water, a small quantity of detergent, and ½ cup of either lighten or white vinegar; or even (let's level here) purchase a new one.
Cup shower doors
Glass bath doors are notorious intended for developing a patina associated with soap scum that generates a milky, cloudy look. In time, that cleaning soap scum will breed Serratia marcescens, which is the science-y term for that will pinkish-orangeish bacteria so typically found in bathrooms. Furthermore, it's just ugly! In order to prevent soap scum plus water spots from gathering on glass shower doorways, use a squeegee in order to wick away water plus product run-off after bathing.
Clean it up: This particular is weird but genuine: dryer sheets like Jump can be used in order to scrub soap scum apart. Wet the sheet plus ball up to make use of it just like a person would a round world wide web scrubber.
The walls
Simply as with the bath curtain are probably streaked with soap scum which usually, over time, will direct to the introduction associated with mold, mildew, and bacterias. This is especially genuine of tiled showers, exactly where porous grout wants to suspend on to funky-looking spores.
Clean it up: The heavy-duty mold and mildew and mold eliminator like X-14 can make short work associated with removing unsightly growth with no requiring scrubbing on your own part.
The tub
Move have a look at your tub or even the floor of your own shower. What do the truth is there? A brown band around the tub? Dark marks where your filthy feet have stood? Fur galore? The tub alone can get really grungy over time, that is definitely annoying since it's the particular place you go in order to get clean!
Does drinking water back up because associated with a slow-moving drain? Repair that. Backed-up water can leave behind product accumulation that will make turmoil of your tub.
Clear up: Fill the bathtub with very hot drinking water, add a large details of oxygenated bleach such as Oxo Brite, and allow it sit for fifty percent an hour. Drain the particular tub and use the sponge to quickly clean away any residual accumulation.

Leslie Atiyeh was raised on both sides of the Cascades- Forest Grove & Hermiston. Picking berries & cukes as a child, her mother was a field boss. She learned about the value of earning her own money and saving up to achieve her goals. She attended Lewis & Clark College and participated in their first-ever exchange program to the People's Republic of China. Graduating with a degree in Political Science, she found a job right out of college, then requested a leave of absence to volunteer for the '84 LA Summer Games where she helped host the PRC delegation to the Olympics– definitely a lifetime highlight! While volunteering for the World Affairs Council/NW China Council as an interpreter for the Sister State Province delegation from Fujian, China, She met her husband-to-be, Tom Atiyeh. They started an import and product development consulting firm, Atiyeh International Ltd. and moved their home and business to Yamhill County over 20 years ago. Currently, their family is spread out from Idaho to Texas with a daughter in Oregon and a black modified male polydactyl cat named SanBai.
Why did you select the business you are in?
Growing up in a rural area, I participated in 4-H, sewing and embroidery, competing in the county and state fair in modeling my own clothes. Textiles and color fashion were ingrained at an early age, so when I was exposed to the Atiyeh family business of handknotted Oriental carpets, it felt natural to learn about the weaving traditions around the world. I have been an international speaker at conferences in Iran and throughout the U.S.
What do you like most about what you do?
After 30 years managing an award-winning family business, I launched an encore career in 2015 as Executive Director of the Northwest China Council- a 37 year old statewide educational nonprofit. I enjoy putting all the pieces together for programming which brings people from all backgrounds together. The council's mission is to promote a greater understanding of Chinese culture through programming business, language learning and contemporary affairs throughout the state of Oregon and Southwest Washington.
Why did you join WOW and what is the most rewarding or valuable aspect of being a WOW member?
I was invited to join a few years ago by some very dynamic women– Nancy Hughes and Kathleen Buck. I am a joiner by nature and thrilled to belong to a group of women entrepreneurs. My favorite thing is to get to know the women and their stories on how they got to be where they are professionally. Fun, affordable programs introduce me to fun venues and vendors for future corporate and nonprofit event planning too!
Who could be an ideal potential client for you?
For carpets– someone who always wanted a handknotted carpet, enjoys a good bargain (we have a bargain bin in our wholesale warehouse!) and is in love with texture and color.
What do you like to do for fun?
I enjoy baking, hiking, reading, playing soccer with my local women's team.
What are five things you cannot live without?
Where is your favorite place to vacation?
The Big Island of Hawaii and the Oregon coast.

Carol Beaulieu, owner of Technical Products, is celebrating 18 years in business!! She is the middle child of five with two older sisters and a younger sister and brother. Her family moved from the Bay area of California to Vale, OR when she was 11 years old, so she considers herself an Oregonian.
Carol started her career with American Investment Company in Ontario as a Cashier/Customer Service Rep. She was transferred to Corvallis as a manager trainee, and later to Albany and Salem. She stayed with the company for almost 6 years and earned the distinction of becoming its youngest Branch Manager. Carol has worked as an Assistant Credit Manager for a commercial equipment leasing corporation, a Credit Manager and Account Manager for telecommunications companies, a Salesperson for the world's largest electronic components distributor, and now she is the proud owner of her own company. Having lived in Eugene, West Linn, Wilsonville, Tualatin and now Newberg, she truly is a "Woman of Willamette".
Carol and her husband were married aboard their boat on the Pacific Ocean out of Winchester Bay in 1984. They recently celebrated their 32nd wedding anniversary. Although they have no children, they have a very large 7 y.o. golden retriever- aptly named, Chief- as in the Chief of their household!
Why did you select the business you are in? It kind of selected me. I had been working in sales for many years and was unhappy with the company where I had been working for almost 3 years. When I mentioned to a couple of our vendors that I was seeking employment elsewhere, they asked me why wouldn't I start my own business? I hadn't even thought about it because the idea was just too scary to contemplate. But after careful consideration and with the encouraging support of my husband and family, I did. That was 18 years ago!!
What do you like most about what you do? The variety… every day is a new challenge. I meet some wonderful people and learn about amazing businesses and their cutting-edge technologies, which fascinate me.
Why did you join WOW and what is the most rewarding or valuable aspect of being a WOW member? Meri Kerekanich insisted! Have you ever try to tell Meri, "No"? Seriously, when we worked with Meri to acquire our Newberg property in 2013, she enlightened me about WOW and the opportunity to connect with some incredible women. I have always been a believer in networking and it sounded like a good fit.... and.... Meri really did insist. The opportunity to meet in relaxed settings with this amazing group of women who share like values and interests is very gratifying- not to mention often times educational and entertaining!
Who could be an ideal potential client for you? Manufacturing companies who are adding on or updating their facilities. In addition to height adjustable workstations and ergonomic office chairs and production task & lab stools, we also sell the following:
In additon, we also import cleanroom, ESD and safety shoes. Our customers include folks involved in semiconductor, electronics, circuit board manufacturers, aerospace, medical device manufacturers, biomedical, pharmaceutical, hospitals, universities and food processing companies and wineries!
What do you like to do for fun? Gardening (veggies & flowers), hiking, downhill skiing, salmon/halibut/tuna fishing, and sewing.
What are five things you cannot live without? Family, friends, the GREAT outdoors, music, and apples.
Where is your favorite place to vacation? Vacation?! In previous years, our favorite place has been British Columbia. We have cruised the Gulf Islands, Desolation Sound, fished at Rivers Inlet and have skied at Whistler & Backcomb.

Before founding Suite 4, a full-service marketing, training and education agency, Rachel Karl grew up in New York, moved to Portland at the age of nine, went on to graduate from Delphian School, earned a business degree in Los Angeles, and spent ten years in Seattle where she and her husband started their family. The happy couple just celebrated 21 years of marriage! They have three awesome kids: a 20 y.o. son who works in Hollywood making commercials and films; a 15 y.o. daughter who is going into her junior year at Delphian School; and an 8 y.o. daughter going into 4th grade at Delphian School.
Why did you select the business you are in?
I'm super passionate about helping businesses grow. I was raised by entrepreneur parents, so it's kind of in my blood.
I LOVE teaching and training on marketing, leadership, entrepreneurship and any topics related to business.
Why did you join WOW and what is the most rewarding or valuable aspect of being a WOW member?
I joined WOW back in 2011. What drew me to WOW was the fun and supportive culture that Meri and her crew have created. The most valuable aspect has been the meaningful relationships I've created through WOW. Even though I have a hard time getting to more than a few events a year, these women are friends for life!
Who could be an ideal potential client for you?
Any growing business who "gets" that marketing is vital to growth and views marketing as an investment— not and expense is an ideal client. We are looking for companies that want to outsource their marketing (or just get added support with it), someone who trusts in our expertise, views us as a partner in their business growth and isn't a micro-manager. We usually work directly with the Marketing Director or the owner of a company.
What do you like to do for fun?
Hang with my family, read YA novels and fall asleep on the beach!
What are five things you cannot live without?
My family, the ocean, Flag & Wire coffee, my Bare Minerals lip gloss and a good moisturizer (thank God for Arbonne!!)
We just took the whole family to Zihuatanejo, Mexico to celebrate our 21st anniversary. It was paradise! That's my new favorite place. :)

Nicole Sensabaugh really enjoys business and the entire financial aspect of business. Her education is in accounting, and she started her first business when she was just 21. At the age of 25, she sold that company and became the CFO of a large manufacturing firm in Portland, OR. She ran that company for 10 years before deciding it was time to get out of the corporate scene and do something more enjoyable and fulfilling.
Nicole struggled at first with what she should do once she left the corporate world. She no longer wanted to be in the corporate world, but still wanted to be a part of the business world. One of the main things that she learned in big business was that many small business owners aren't necessarily business men and women. Many are artisans or technicians. While they know their job well, they don't really understand the financial side of the business. Nicole decided that her skills would be best utilized by helping small business owners understand how to run their businesses and use their financials to grow.
Before long, Sensabaugh bookkeeping was born! Nicole started her bookkeeping business to help small businesses understand their financials and teach small business owners how to run and grow their businesses even in difficult economic times.
My favorite thing about this job is seeing business owners that I have worked with actually start to grow their businesses and really succeed. It is so fun when I see a client who started out with one or two employees and worked out of their garage. And now, after a couple of years, they own their own building, equipment, and have over 50 employees. When I see that, I know that what I do makes a difference in their lives. For most of my clients I am as much a business consultant as I am their bookkeeper.
I joined WOW because I was new to the area and really wanted to meet other women who were business owners. I have made some wonderful friends through WOW and many are now my clients. The most valuable aspect of WOW for me is the way that women support each other. It is hard to be a female business owner and it is amazing when you have the support of other women who understand what you are going through. Everything about WOW is meant to lift women up, not put them down- and that is rare these days.
The ideal client for me would be one who wants to streamline their accounting system and learn more about how they can grow their business to its full potential. I work with clients of all sizes, from 1 or 2 employees to over 500.
I'm an artist at heart. I own GhostWolf Designs, a glass fusing studio at my home in Newberg. When I am not there I love to hike, camp, ski and travel. We travel out of the country at least once or twice a year. I love to visit new cultures and explore new places.
My favorite place to vacation is Europe. All of the countries are so close together that you can see many different cultures in one trip.

Betty Vergets spent 25+ years as a Vacation Rental Travel Agent. She was a South Pacific (Australia & New Zealand) and Europe Specialist. Travel is still her passion! She and her husband, Mark, have a blended family with 6 kids and 17 grand kids! Christmas and birthdays are a challenge to say the least! Betty married into the hardware business! Mark promised her they would still travel if she came to work with him and he has upheld his promise! She absolutely loves what she does!
What do you like most about what you do?
Most definitely the people! I enjoy working with our customers and our staff is amazing! Unfortunately, I have to spend a lot of time in the office, but I love being on the sales floor, especially first thing in the morning. It's a little quieter and we can visit with our regular customers who come in and get their coffee & popcorn and talk about their day ahead.
Why did you join WOW and what is the most rewarding or valuable aspect of being a WOW member?
Women understand the challenges of having balance in their lives. If you throw in running a business or working full time, it can be even more stressful. This is one of the most amazing group of women I have had the pleasure of getting to know. I always feel uplifted after spending time with them. The organization has grown so much and it's nice to see the younger women getting involved as well. I also love that we're able to recognize and reward smart and talented young women with the Cathy Stoller Scholarship program.
Who could be an ideal potential client for you?
We do have a unique store, but we specialize in anyone who needs help! Our staff is great at trying to help you repair something that's broken or helping you find what you need to create your special project. I love when a customer says, "It was such an odd item, I didn't think you'd have it, but you did!" If a customer wants something we don't stock, we'll special order it for them, if it's available to us.
In our Boutique area "Gypsy Crossing", we love helping women feel special. Whether they're looking for a new outfit, need help finding a gift, or maybe ready to do some redecorating, our 'Gypsies' enjoy helping them find something unique and fun! We get really excited when a woman wants to try something outside of her normal comfort zone. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but they have fun in the process!
What do you like to do for fun?
Travel!!! We love good food & wine, so we enjoy cooking, checking out new restaurants & wine tasting year around. In the summer, we enjoy riding our Harley, camping in our 5th wheel and taking our white water raft out with friends.
My faith, family, friends, laughter and sad, but true...my makeup!
Where is your favorite place to vacation?
MY favorite place in the world is Italy! We don't get to go as often as I would like, so our "go to" vacation spot is Belize! We call it forced relaxation and it fills our need for the sun when we need to escape the gray! We enjoy the water, the culture & the locals remember us when we come down. It's like a second hometown!

A WOW member since moving to Newberg from Cincinnati, Ohio in June 2012, Sara Pearson Specter is a freelance marketing consultant (aka "Marketing Mercenary") who specializes in business-to-business storytelling for industrial and manufacturing companies, primarily in the supply chain and material handling field.
But that's not why she's a WOW member; in her official role as "money honey," Sara has been financing her husband's pursuit of a winemaking career—which culminated in Bells Up Winery, established in 2013—ever since he left his job as a corporate tax attorney (specializing in mergers and acquisitions) at the beginning of 2009. The estate winery and tasting room on their 10 acres on Bell Road at the intersection of Zimri Drive opened Memorial Day weekend 2015.
What is your background?
I double majored in French and history at a small college in Kentucky, but was drawn to writing and graphic design. I fell into industrial advertising and started my freelancing career after serving as creative director at the last agency I worked at in Cincinnati. Dave and I got married at about that time (almost 15 years ago!). Five years into our marriage we started making wine in the basement as a "cute, couple-y hobby." I liked drinking the wine and making the labels. Dave was fascinated by the entire process, and "our" hobby quickly became "his" hobby. Little did I know we'd wind up moving to Oregon and establishing a vineyard and winery six years later.
Anything you would like to share about your family?
As an only child and the parent of the only grandchild, my parents followed us out here and now live in Sherwood.
"Living the dream" of owning a winery was decidedly NOT my idea originally; it niggled around in the back of Dave's head for a long time, but only as a vague notion, not a concrete plan.
When Dave and I came for an Oregon wine vacation in 2008, we stayed at Chehalem Ridge Bed & Breakfast and fell completely, totally in love with the area. I remember saying to Dave: "One day we're going to move here, you're going to be a professional winemaker, we're going get vineyard property on Bell Road because the location and the view are perfect, and we're going to own a winery—in 20 years."
Then, shortly after we returned to Cincinnati from that vacation, my professional mentor Kelly called to tell me she had been diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, just two weeks after her 40th birthday (and she died 10 months later). Our daughter was born right before Christmas 2008, and at the start of 2009, Dave—under tremendous pressure from his bosses to go the partner track in a legal career that he hated so much it made him physically sick—essentially had a nervous breakdown.
I decided that I was done: Done with chasing the suburban dream, done with tiptoeing through a struggling marriage to a miserable spouse, done with "what if," done with fear.
"Life is too short," I told Dave. "If you're this successful in a career that you hate, how much more successful would you be doing something you love? That's what we need to teach our daughter by example."
So Dave quit his job and went to work, unpaid, at an urban winery in Cincinnati. There, he learned everything he could about making wine professionally. In 2011, we got our "sign" that we were on the right track: he won two different amateur national winemaking competitions with two different wines within two months. We immediately put the house in suburbia on the market and moved here within days after closing.
In my personal career, I enjoy making engineers sound like human beings. If I do my job right, they sound like human beings with whom you'd want to share a beer.
As the self-appointed Chief Marketing Officer for my "non-profit" client, Bells Up, I love meeting new people and talking micro-boutique, handcrafted wine. Especially rewarding for us has been how Dave's wines have been embraced wholeheartedly by the local wine industry. An astonishing number of "wine people" have joined Fanfare Club (Bells Up's wine club). That means so much to both of us.
I joined WOW thanks to peer pressure from several current members who said: "Have you heard about WOW? Because you need to join it!" I especially value the opportunity to make and grow my connections to so many amazing, spunky, resourceful, spirited, cheerful, warm and welcoming women who call the Willamette Valley their home, and who strive to make this gorgeous place an even better one for all who live here. Everyone I've met through WOW is incredibly inspiring.
I have to particularly call out fellow WOW Tina Hammond of Privé Vineyard who—along with her husband Mark—has personally mentored us throughout this winery experience over the past four years, answering crazy questions at all hours and providing endless support and encouragement. We're fortunate to have them as both neighbors and dear friends.
Focusing on the winery, which is always open by appointment, we love getting to know folks on a personal level because that's the kind of winery experience we most enjoy ourselves. Due to our small production (400 cases per year) and the fact that it is essentially just Dave and me doing the majority of all the work, we have our most meaningful interactions with small groups ranging from two to ten people.
What's a vacation? We're in the stage of life where, because we have a young child, we take "trips." HER favorite place is Disneyland.

Sherrie has been interested in designing and organizing spaces since she was a young girl. She would beg her younger brother to trade rooms with her in exchange for redesigning and cleaning his room just for the chance to do something new in her room! She has loved to create beautiful and functional spaces for as long as she can remember. She has experience in designing spaces and systems for everything from pantries, kitchens and laundry rooms to paperwork, classrooms and small businesses. Sherrie married her high school sweetheart and they have 2 grown sons who are both married and live in the area. Life is good.
Starting my business was a natural process for me. I began long ago in my home, have assisted friends in their homes and businesses and used my skills daily in my preschool special education classroom. Starting Tame Your Space allows me to assist others to realize their dream of a beautiful and organized home or business. Staging homes for sale is a new evolution that I am enjoying immensely.
Organizing someone's space is a very personal process. My favorite part of assisting a client is getting to know them, how they think and what they want for their home or business. I love supporting clients through the transformation process.
Why did you join WOW and what is the most rewarding aspect of being a WOW member?
I have known several women who are members of WOW for a few years now and have admired the way they encourage and connect with each other. The first time I went to a WOW event, I knew that I wanted to be part of this vibrant group. I have been a member of WOW since January and have already enjoyed new business connections, made new friends and had lots of fun!
Who could be a potential client for you?
Most everyone can use some help to get organized in some area of life- be it eliminating clutter, assisting them when an important transition or move, organizing their closets, drawers, storage area, child's play space or business.
I enjoy spending time with my family. We love playing games, making food and spending time together. I love hanging with my husband and 2 Mini Australian Shepard puppies- Bootsie and Mojo. I also love gardening, reading and doing wine tastings at my favorite winery- Natalie's Estate Winery.
**Not (always) necessarily in that order!
It's fun to get away once in a while and we enjoy the beach and have been on some fun trips. I love spending time with my husband and with our sons and their wives.

After about 5 years, she came back to the US and started a career in Land Surveying. She moved to Sherwood in 2002 and worked as the Newberg City Surveyor until the end of 2011 when she started her 3rd career as an entrepreneur. In April of 2012, Escape to Yoga opened for business in Old Town Sherwood and the journey of becoming a yoga instructor and business owner has been the most rewarding adventure of her life so far.

Teaching Yoga is my Passion. Being my own boss is my Destiny.
I love teaching yoga and the opportunity it gives me to change people's lives for the better. I love bringing yoga to people who have not yet discovered this gift! I also love being challenged to learn how to market and run a business. Between the worlds of yoga and small business, I never run out of new things to learn!
I joined WOW to get to know other local women entrepreneurs and to stay connected in the local community. So far my favorite has been getting invited to the Wine, Art, and Fashion event at Blakeslee Vineyard!
My ideal client is a person who wants more strength, flexibility, balance, and tranquility in their lives and is ready to add yoga to their regular weekly self-care routine.
Besides doing yoga, I LOVE to go hiking or just be outside, travel to exotic places, taste fantastic Oregon Pinot Noir, make custom Essential Oil blends for home and personal care, and make fantastic meals for my hungry boyfriend.
I need 7: Good sleep, good food, yoga, hiking, travel, love, and Escape to Yoga!
I don't have a favorite because I like to go somewhere new every time! Currently on my list are Yellowstone, Hawaii, Victoria BC, Costa Rica, and Greece.

Senior Supt. Ruben Cariaga, police commander of Southern Philippine province of Zamboanga Sibugay, said Thursday that a man tossed a grenade into a crowd of villagers in the township of Imelda on Wednesday night, which left one dead and five other civilians injured who were rushed to the hospital.
"We are still investigating the motive as well the personalities behind the blast," he said.
No group has claimed responsibility for the blast yet, but the police suspected that members of the Special Operations Group, a rogue faction of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) were responsible for it.
The 12,000-strong MILF is the largest separatist rebel group which seeks to separate Mindanao from the rest of the Philippines and establish an Islamic state in the region.

|No events for The Tobacconist
About the Film
Franz, a 17-year-old boy from rural Austria, comes to Vienna to apprentice in a smoke shop. Although tyranny under the Nazi occupation and hatred towards Jews has worsened oppression and conditions, the tobacco store remains a small sanctuary for newspaper- and cigarette-seekers. He gradually befriends Sigmund Freud, the renowned psychoanalyst and a regular customer. When the shop's politically outspoken owner is taken away by the Nazis, Franz and Freud stand at the crossroads of survival.
Based on Austrian writer Robert Seethaler′s novel of the same name, THE TOBACCONIST is a tender and gripping coming-of-age story under tragic circumstances through the Freudian lens of dreams, libido, and death that transform a boy to a man. Actor Bruno Ganz (WINGS OF DESIRE) plays Freud.
Director Bio
Nikolaus Leytner was born in Graz, Austria. He studied at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna, obtaining an MA in directing and screenwriting. He was a founding member of Allegro Film Production and the Austrian Film Academy in 2009. He currently works as a director and screenwriter based in Vienna.

Cakes and Ice Cream!Posted by Thryn on January 25th, 2010 filed in Cross Culture, Eating, Living, Post
Bamenda is really becoming a developed city. You know how I know? A cake and ice cream store opened up in our quartier! The maker of the cakes, Relindis is my new best friend. The first day she was open, she just had a few small cakes in her little glass case and a newly painted sign hanging from the awning outside. So I bought one of the cakes and chatted with her a bit. A week later she got electricity in her shop and brought in a soft-serve ice cream machine and a popcorn machine! There's decent soft-serve in Bamenda, but hers is by far the best I've had anywhere, light and creamy with a hint of lemon flavor.
Now she's making more varieties of cakes, sometimes with colored frosting in pretty designs, and she can make custom cakes for any special occasion. She told me that she's working at the cake shop for a year while she saves money to go back to school. Her family wanted her to move to the village after her father died, but she wanted to pursue her education in fine arts, so she is in Bamenda on her own. I pass by her shop just about every day, so I usually stop in and chat and of course, have an ice cream cone for 100 CFA (about 20 cents).
On an unrelated note, I'm going to Nigeria tomorrow with another volunteer, then to Benin to visit a PCV we met in DC before leaving for Cameroon. With any luck we'll get cast in a Nigerian film while we're there.
After I left for Nigeria, the Bamenda city council removed all shipping containers from the city. The cakes and ice cream shop was one of the many small shops that was in a shipping container, so her store was removed! She has temporarily set up on the porch of an abandoned half-constructed building next door. She says they are preparing a new building that she will be able to move into soon. For now, she's making do with the space she has.

She walks along the same path every time she takes her daily walk. She is 76 years old, not as active as she used to be and she lives alone. Cooking for one is a challenge so her nutrition suffers because of it. She has lost weight. Yet, every day she takes a walk: just a stroll down her street and around the block.
Lately her mind has been slipping a little and she scolds herself for forgetting the obvious ones: where she left her keys or her hair appointment yesterday. But no harm done. She will make another appointment and eventually her keys will turn up.
As the days go by, she will scold herself a few more times. She put a can of soup on the stove for lunch and forgot it was there…until she smelled it burning. For the second month in a row, she forgot to pay the water bill, but thankfully they called her and she was able to pay it over the phone. She called her bank because she was sure someone was stealing money out of her account, the bank reassured her that all was well with her account, but still she sure she believed them.
She walks down the street, enjoying the fall colors and the birds singing. Another walker has a dog and she stops to pet it and chats with the person, then continues on her walk. She goes to the corner and notices a lot is being cleared for a new home. Because she doesn't recognize it, she walks farther to the next corner before she makes the turn.
Inside it doesn't feel right, but surely it is. After all, she walks this way every day. As she continues to move on, a prickle of fear wells up. She realizes nothing is familiar. She keeps walking hoping to find something – anything – that tells her she is in the right place. That moment doesn't come. She is tired from walking and now that prickle is a panic. How will she get home? She doesn't have the strength and she has no idea where she is.
This fictional account of one woman's struggle is all too common and it could be a day in the life of more than five million American's living with Alzheimer's disease. In the state of Florida alone, 510,000 seniors and their families are suffering with the disease. According to www.alz.org, by 2020, that number is projected to rise to 580,000 and by 2025 it will further increase to a projected 720,000. That is a 41.2% increase just in Florida.
Eventually she will forget how to swallow, she will not recognize her family. She will not be able to live at home alone. She will become more prone to falls and susceptible to pneumonia. She may become more agitated and difficult to deal with. Family will move in to take care of her. And they will be part of the more than 15 million caregivers nationwide who provided an estimated 18.1 billion hours of unpaid care in 2016.
November was National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness month. This cause is about preserving memories and life. Researchers are closer than ever to taking this dreaded disease out of our lives for good. But research requires dollars – your dollars. You can donate at www.alz.org.
Chances are you or someone you know will be affected by this silent stealer of memories.

Partner News Podcast: VMware channel chief says to gear up for Partner Exchange
VMware Inc. is already gearing up for its annual Partner Exchange next Feb. 8, where it expects a 25% to 30% increase in attendance.
It's December but VMware Inc. is already gearing up for its annual Partner Exchange next Feb. 8, where it expects a 25% to 30% increase in attendance.
Douglas Smith, VP of VMware's global partner strategy and operations, dropped by this week to talk to SearchITChannel.com about how VMware wants its partners to gear up in "customer relevant" competencies. The company sports three competencies now and will add a few more that it will talk about at the big event.
VMware may not have the hundreds of thousands of partners claimed by some large competitors, but it's pretty happy with the group it's got, Smith said. He noted that the company has about 25,000 partners worldwide, many of which are "registered" versus the high-end VMware Premier partners, but that's the way the company likes it.
Generally, "we prefer partners to be narrow and deep -- they have more relevancy and we'll mostly work with the partners we have and just recruit in areas where we may have gaps in vertical and horizontal coverage. But, by and large, we're pretty happy with what we've got," Smith said.

Martin Neck Removal
To remove a neck from a Martin guitar is a fairly simple process. I use a pressure cooker as a steam generator. I have seen other people use cappuccino machines also. Which method you use to generate steam is not important as long as you have one.
The 15th fret is pulled on a 14 fret and the 13th fret is pulled on a 12 fret. A small hole is drilled straight down through the fretboard and into the neck joint. I like to use masking tape and tape the binding at the neck area. I also use a heat lamp and insulators. First I cover the top with the insulators and allow the heat lamp to heat up the tang for about 3 minutes. I take an artists pallet knife and work it under the tang of the neck. With this loosened I keep the knife under the tang so it won't reattach. I then place the steam needle into the hole previously drilled. After a few minutes I start to work the neck, right to left. When it starts to move keep wiggling and pull up on it. Once it is loosened and out of the joint, clean up the glue surface areas while the glue is still soft. Wipe up the area with a clean cotton rag and let set for a few days to thoroughly dry. You will need to replace the fret and repair the little hole. Super glue and dust works well.
You now have a neck that you can rework and reset.

5 Ways To Eat Alligator You've Never Considered
It's getting to be that time of the summer when you've overdosed a bit on the classics—even the most die-hard grillmasters can only eat so many variations on a cheeseburger. So it's time to get a little weird. Let's talk about alligator meat. It's usually viewed as a kitschy "try before you die" food, mostly eaten fried. But chef Kenny Gilbert, a Top Chef season seven contestant and owner of Gilbert's Underground Kitchen in Fernandina Beach, Florida, is trying to change that perception. Gilbert takes a nose-to-spiky-tail approach when it comes to the reptiles, using the meat to make everything from charcuterie to a twist on a pulled pork sandwich. Especially in a time when there's more and more talk of alternative protein sources, it's never a bad idea to start branching out. Below, some of chef Gilbert's most brilliant alligator dishes.
Gilbert cures alligator steaks until they take on the salty, chewy character of a well-cared-for ham. He serves thin slices with a creamy sassafrass and celery dressing, and replaces the old-school tasso ham in a potpie with chopped alligator (tomato jam and pickled okra keep things from feeling too unfamiliar).
The spicy, smoky flavors of traditional Andouille blend well with alligator's mild flavor. Gilbert also replaces the traditional spicy ground Italian sausage in bolognese with ground alligator, which gives the sauce a lighter body (necessary, since the accompanying gnudi are made with pimento cheese).
Braised and Pulled
Slow-cooked, shredded and doused in a sharp, vinegary South Carolina–style barbecue sauce, pulled alligator is a surprisingly perfect sandwich filling.
Did you know alligators have wings? Gilbert does. He treats the combined fore- and hind-leg shanks like tender, meaty wings that even Buffalo fanatics can love.
Gilbert can't keep these spicy, dry-rubbed ribs in stock for good reason: Though they have a similar texture to pork ribs, they're more lean and have a delicate flavor that's similar to (you guessed it) chicken.

Details have leaked out about another possible Sony handset known as the ST26i, but don't get too excited.
Sony has already released a pretty impressive trio of phones this year, the Xperia S, Xperia U and
, but it looks set to expand its range in the coming months.
Spotted by Blog of Mobile, benchmark results for a new Sony handset have appeared on GL Benchmark, revealing details about the ST26i.
Yet another mid-range device
According to the results the ST26i will pack a less than inspiring 800Mhz processor (but it could be clocked to 1GHz), 480x854 display and Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich.
These are similar specifications to the ones quoted with another leaked handset, the Sony ST21i, which we reported in April.
Obviously there's no confirmation from Sony on the validity of either handset, but it's good to see the company taking its solo return to the market seriously.

Dear Students,
We welcome you to the family of Chandigarh Group of Colleges, Landran and wish you a very bright future ahead. We would like you to inform you that – "Ragging is totally banned in and around the College premises. Anyone found guilty of ragging and abetting is liable to be punished appropriately." Supreme Court of India has laid down very strict rules for implementation of Anti Ragging measures to avoid occurrence of undesirable activities such as ragging inside or outside the campus. Any individual or collective act or practice of ragging constitutes gross indiscipline. Ragging ordinarily means an act conducted or practiced by which power or status of senior students is brought to bear upon students freshly enrolled or students who are in any way considered junior by other students and includes individual or collective acts / practices which involve:
- Physical assault, threat or use of physical force.
- Violating dignity of female students.
- Forcing students to ridicule and contempt and hurting their sentiments and self-esteem.
- Entailing verbal abuse, aggression and indecent behavior
Strict norms have been laid out to ensure smooth induction of new students into the campus as well as to ensure that no undesirable activity takes place under any circumstance. All students are made to sign anti- ragging declaration. Exemplary punishments will be accorded to the defaulting students which may include rustication from the College and handing over to the police for dealing with criminal offence of ragging.
