How They Got Their First Job: A Dancing Number-Cruncher
A business savvy dance major landed a job as a tax accountant for a major New York accounting firm, right out of college, in this job market. Wow!
For Amanda Rack, a combination of varied interests, hard work, internships and good connections landed her that first job.
Here's her story:
An Aggressive Attitude
Amanda graduated last year from Hofstra University in New York with dual degrees, a Bachelor of Arts in Dance and a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting. She works as a staff accountant focusing on tax preparation for Marcum, LLP.
Rack's might seem like an odd combination of majors but, she says, "I constantly need to challenge myself and always be active. While in college I carried this same philosophy."
During her time in school, Amanda had three internships. The first one, with a Brooklyn-based modern dance company called Misnomer Dance Theatre, combined her love of dance and her interest in business, and she made the most of it.
"Three of my most memorable assignments were preparing press releases, interacting with the dancers to prepare them for upcoming events, and organizing sales receipts to give to the accountant," she told me.
Even the way she got the internship showed an aggressiveness that would help her out later. She met the choreographer, Chris Elam, when he was a guest choreographer for the Hofstra Dance Faculty show and she was picked to dance in his performance.
"I had talked to the director of the dance department and said I wanted to intern at a dance company. He told me Mr. Elam was looking for an intern. I applied and was accepted for the position."
Getting Experience Any Way You Can
After that, she interned with the New York State Department of Tax and Finance and with PricewaterhouseCoopers, one of the top four accounting firms in the world.
"[The Pricewaterhouse] internship helped prepare me for the real corporate world in terms of the long hours and time I would have to dedicate to my future full-time positions," she said.
Amanda was also busy on campus, involved in student dance groups, working for a professional business organization,selling CPA review books to students and pursuing one extracurricular activity that really made her stand out: "I was a mascot at football and basketball games and open house events.
"I made people laugh and people who knew me had no idea I was in the mascot costume," she said. "Employers found this extremely interesting and it gave us something to talk about besides accounting. From my standpoint, it made me stand out and be remembered by employers."
Network, Network, Network
When it came time to look for a job, Amanda, again, made all the right moves.
"Besides sending out my résumé and cover letter, I attended networking events where I met employees from the firms I was interested in working with. I exchanged business cards with the employers. Many of them were impressed that I had my own business card," she says.
She immediately followed up with emails to the employers she had met to keep her in their minds. She also worked with the school's career center and took advantage of its on-campus recruiting program.
"The program allowed me to network and be interviewed by 17 employers in a time frame of one month. From all of my interviews I was able to land my first full-time job by the end of the fall semester of my senior year."
Believe in Yourself
A tried and true formula worked for Amanda. She got experience in college and during internships. Through those experiences she found a passion in an industry with available jobs. She networked and met lots of people in the industry she wanted to work in, and she took advantage of campus resources to get interviews. There's one more part of the formula that Amanda says is crucial to success.
"Above all, have confidence in yourself," she said. "If you are not confident in yourself and think you are not the right fit for a certain position, an employer is going to think the same thing and not hire you."
Well said!

Not sure if you heard the news, but the hipster is dead. Its funeral was, like, last week, according to this Mashable article, and now it's time to move in a new direction of putting labels on humans.
Instead of the somewhat-hated hipster, we now have the Yuccie (pronounced however the hell you want), which is the love child of the yuppie and hipster. (Young Creative Urban.) They have the business sense of their dad and the creative outlook of their art professor.
J. Charlene Davis, professor of marketing at Trinity University, says Yuccies could be rebelling against the standardized testing they received growing up, so now, they are aspiring to make a living by being themselves. Think Kim Kardashian if she were a bit younger. OK, think Kylie Jenner if she were a bit smarter.They have the right to pursue their dreams and better yet, they have the right to get paid for it.
Here's the scary part. Yuccies are among us. They are walking their dogs near us. They are eating organic soy whey fruit in the booth behind us. They are sharing their personal blog on their Facebook page with us. Oh, my god, they are us.
There's only one way to be sure. Here are some signs you might be a Yuccie living in Dallas.
"I grew this tomato myself."
Yuccies don't have babies. But to practice, they have tomato gardens. Whether it's planted on the balcony of their Uptown apartment or you are a part of a community garden, like Promise of Peace, you are thrilled of the idea of planting, growing and eating Instagramming your creation.
"I'm a fashion blogger."
Yuccies cannot wait for the day that one of their blog posts hits the mainstream world wide web for some controversial topic or idea and starts bringing in the ad revenue. Blogging is an easy way to start your own small business and fashion blogging gives Yuccies an excuse to dress up and pose for the camera. While their peers might be waiting weeks for the big boss to give them the thumbs up, fashion bloggers receive feedback instantly and in a matter of pins and followers. Bonus points if the blog is filled with photos taken by a local photographer and the backdrop is an old painted wall in Deep Ellum.
"I don't even remember painting this, I was so drunk."
Nothing, and we mean nothing, says, 'Look at me and my friends and how artistic we are!' like a fun Saturday afternoon at Painting With A Twist. It's essentially a painting class where there's more champagne than paint and more talking than art-ing. Because in 2015, it's not enough to sit in solitude and paint the sunset. Yuccies get real fulfillment from going to a Painting With A Twist class and painting an elephant while sipping on cheap white wine and then posting about it on all social media platforms.

"This is from a local designer."
Out of all the Yuccie things to do, the ultimate Yuccie thing is to sell your genius, moneymaking creation at Zoomos Pop-up Shop in Bishop Arts. You've gone through several ideas, including, T-shirts with Japanese symbols on it, old keys around a chain that makes it a necklace, and soup bowls that you stole from your grandmother's house after she died. You are determined to make a fortune selling something no one else has thought of yet. You also buy all your bracelets from other pop-up shoppers, hoping to put out some good karma.
"Have you had the donut with bacon on top of it?"
Oh, my god, what is a Saturday night if it's not standing outside in line for Glazed Donut Works. Krispy Kreme is for grandpas and grocery store donuts are for children. Yuccies crave the rare, expensive glazed dough. It's imperative it's the fanciest kind of donut for Instagram purposes. The Soul Child Four Corners donut is your favorite — not because of the taste, but, you know, the name kind of rocks.
"My company gives half of its profits to a hamster charity."
If you work for one of the Big Four accounting firms, then just forget it. A true Yuccie overlooks the paycheck part of their career and focuses on how the company can better fulfill them. It's important that not only does the company give them a paycheck twice per month but also gives to a local homeless shelter. All that give back stuff really turns Yuccies on. It was the selling point for them during the job interview — that and the Downtown Dallas location. The salary might not be great, but damn, that creative fulfillment is life.
"I can't. I'm busy saving the world."
Every damn Sunday is a new charity event. And you are on the public relations committee for all of them because of your #networking and #hashtagging skills. Whether it's the Donut Dash or Breast Cancer Gala or Silent Disco for AIDS or No Mama Mother's Day Party, Yuccies are there and ready to party. There's always something going on and there's always a way to make this small world just a little bit better. T-shirts and new Facebook friends feel great but so does that nice little pat on the back.
"I love Buzz Bike!"
Oh, wow. You thought a Yuccie could go an entire summer without completing the coveted Buzz Bike challenge? Well, it's not really a challenge so much as it's just an excuse to get drunk in a creative way. Buzz Bike is the act of riding around Dallas on a 10-person-tabletop bicycle thing and drinking the entire time. When you ride through the streets, it's important to hoot and holler at the rest of Dallas who is pathetically drinking on a patio — not on some bicycle contraption.

Peruvian Hot Chocolate is made rich by the blend of three different types of milk, made chocolatey with Latin chocolate and cocoa powder.
One thing I adore about the holidays are the traditional foods that come out in the stores and the dishes that are prepared at home. If you go out to the stores at the start of November, you will begin to see the Christmas displays: an entire aisle of panetone bread, shelves full of canned peaches, bars and bars of chocolate to make hot chocolate, and refrigerators full of sweet potato puree and applesauce. Most of those things, I leave at the store and prepare my own special dishes but the one thing I make sure to stock up on are the chocolate bars. Let's just say we make a lot of hot chocolate here.
I know, you are thinking … "Hot chocolate? I make that all the time. Open a white envelope, add contents to mug and pour water over it." You will realize that you are missing out once you make a pot of this delicious Peruvian Hot Chocolate. There is truly nothing like it.
I have to stop and say, there are MANY families that simply mix the chopped chocolate bar, sugar, evaporated milk and boiling water to make their traditional hot chocolate. Our version is much creamier, much richer than that. Friends who have tasted it—even Peruvian friends—stop in their tracks and ask about it. Seems like it is nothing they have tasted before and they are always eager to taste it again.
How do I make Peruvian Hot Chocolate?
I start by flavoring the water with a hint of cinnamon and by the end, I will have added three types of milk—you could consider this the "Tres Leches of Hot Chocolate"—and two types of chocolate. Are you intrigued? Ready to make yourself a cup? You can!
- 2 cups of water
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 4 cups of milk
- 1 can (410g) of evaporated milk
- 1 can (395g) of sweetened condensed milk
- 100 grams of Latin drinking-chocolate bar, chopped finely (Abuelita, Taza, Ibarra)
- 1/2 cup of cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- Bring water and cinnamon stick to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Boil for 5 minutes. Add the regular milk, evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk. Stir to combine, bring to a simmer and allow to simmer for 2 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine chopped chocolate and cocoa powder. Remove one cup of the hot milk mixture and add to the small bowl with the chocolates. Set aside for a few minutes so the chocolate begins to melt and then stir to dissolve chocolate and cocoa powder. Return this chocolate mixture to the pot. Cook over low heat for 5 more minutes.
- Dissolve the cornstarch in 1/4 cup of water (you can use the same bowl from the chocolate) and add to the milk mixture; stirring continuously. Stir and cook over low heat for 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat, remove the cinnamon stick and serve hot.
- This serves 8 "regular" cups of hot chocolate. But let's be honest, you won't actually be able to fit all this deliciousness into a "regular" cup so it will actually give you closer to 5 large cups.

Use of Film and Other Multi-Modal Formats in Contemporary Social Scientific Research
Tuesday, September 27 12:00-1:30pm
Houston Hall Class of '49 Auditorium
Dean Jackson will explore the use of film and other multi-modal formats in contemporary social scientific research, especially ethnographic/qualitative research. Jackson is part of a team of scholars at Penn and beyond who have been trying to think carefully and holistically about how film and other non-traditional formats can most effectively serve as conduits for the construction and circulation of compelling scholarship. He will also talk about the founding of CAMRA (www.camrapenn.org) and EE (formerly PIVPE), two Penn-based initiatives organized around creating visual and performative research projects and determining how best to assess them when scholars come up for promotion and tenure.
Speaker Bio:
John L. Jackson, Jr., PhD's research examines racial and class-based differences in contemporary urban environments, including a focus on how urbanites themselves theorize and deploy those differences in everyday interactions. His scholarship uses ethnographic research methods to extend and expand Critical Race Theory as an analytical and explanatory framework for understanding contemporary social conflicts.
Dr. Jackson's work also critically explores how film and other non-traditional or multi-modal formats can be most effectively utilized in specifically scholarly research projects, and he is one of the founding members of CAMRA (www.camrapenn.org) and PIVPE, two Penn-based initiatives organized around creating visual and performative research projects—and producing rigorous criteria for assessing them.
Finally, his work also examines how contemporary urban religions are being mobilized to improve health literacy and health outcomes in poor and underserved communities around Philadelphia and all across the world.

Climate Change & Sustainable Energy Strategy
Every CFO or business owner would agree that energy costs are a budgetary line item that cannot be ignored. Depending on the type of business, energy can account for up to 60% of total expenditures. Energy expenditures can range from 20% for a typical office building to up to 60% or more for heavy manufactures. While managing energy costs are essential for a successful management plan, many companies fail to realize the benefits of taking a holistic approach to energy management, missing out on tremendous opportunities to better manage risk, improve resilience, and create additional value.
In the modern economy of the 21st century, energy costs remain an important component in a commercial energy management plan, however, how a company manages its energy can transcend from the expense department into the investor or customer relations arena, by demonstrating a commitment to corporate, social and environmental responsibility. With the continued pattern of frequent catastrophic weather events, global society has become extremely concerned with climate change and the reduction of carbon emissions. Consumers are demonstrating increased loyalty toward more sustainable products and companies.
Many businesses continue to ignore the increasing social pressures and overlook the financial, environmental and social benefits of renewable and other sustainable energy technologies due to the stereotypical view that they are too expensive ignoring the fact that the costs of such technologies have and continue to plummet.
The true impact associated with implementing, or failing to implement sustainable energy technology should be measured against the cost of doing nothing.
Not only have the cost of renewable and other sustainable technologies fallen to extremely affordable levels, in many cases, there are tremendous federal and state incentive programs that allow properly managed projects to deliver positive cash flow from the very start. In addition, banks and other financial institutions better understand these technologies allowing for attractive financing options eliminating the need to commit working capital to a project.
In the 21st century, many larger corporations are realizing the benefits of holistic energy management and have invested billions of dollars in building resilient and sustainable energy infrastructure. Besides the tremendous financial benefit, these investments are making a strong statement regarding the corporate commitment to the environment, which in turn provides brand recognition and substantial social value.
As more and more businesses embrace and realize the benefits of sustainable business practices, they are turning an eye toward their supply chains and in some cases pressuring suppliers to implement more sustainable business practices. This is becoming a growing trend in today's economy, presenting a challenge for small and medium companies with limited understanding and resources to commit to sustainability. While the benefits of sustainable business practices have been proven over and over again, like any component in a business plan, it comes down to execution.
For the small and medium company that may be feeling pressures from their larger clients, it is essential not to panic into making hasty decisions in fear of losing a large client. Although sustainable energy technologies have the ability to deliver profound financial and environmental returns, the planning and execution of such projects is the key to their success. There are many moving parts to every sustainable energy project, such as: timing, identifying the most lucrative incentive programs, financing, quality control and project specific risks that must be professionally managed. Partnering with the right energy management company that will help develop and execute a holistic energy management plan will ensure your company receives the maximum financial and environmental return on every dollar invested in your energy budget.
In conclusion, the value of taking a holistic approach to managing commercial energy budgets can make an impactful statement regarding a corporate culture that embraces environmental and social responsibility while lowering costs, reducing risk and providing resiliency. For any sized company that hasn't embraced the benefits of sustainability and holistic energy management, don't wait until you get a tap on the shoulder from your largest customer; get ahead of the trend and call NJGEC today to schedule a complimentary energy management analysis.

Initial Thoughts from Our Newest Team Member, President and CEO Dave Wagner
Thought Leadership
Initial Thoughts from Our Newest Team Member, President and CEO Dave Wagner
Zix Staff
Dave Wagner joined ZixCorp on January 19, 2016. The following post contains his initial thoughts. I am very excited to be selected by the Board of Directors to lead ZixCorp through its next phase of growth. Lots of people have asked me, "What about Zix is attractive to you?" There are lots of things, but the three that I would like to highlight are: the enduring nature of the innovative founding vision, the strength of the company today and its opportunity for future growth. First, the founding innovation of Zix – that you can transparently enable secure communications by securely sharing keys in the cloud – is still the best way to enable the wide spread adoption of secure communications. You don't have to work in Information Security to know that cyber attacks continue to grow at an alarming rate. A recent estimate suggests that the global cost of cybercrime is $445 billion annually. It is further estimated that global investment in Information Security reached $75.4 billion in 2015, growing at 4.7% over 2014. Best-in-class Information Security teams are aware of the risk of data in transit and the need to encrypt sensitive information. Yet our nation only encrypts a small fraction of its most sensitive data. Zix's solutions, built and improved upon for over 20 years, offer the most transparent, easiest to deploy encryption solutions available in the market today. In addition, the Zix Encryption Network enables this transparency between every user of the service. Therefore, the more users we add to our service, the more valuable our service becomes for our end-users. This network effect of the Zix founding vision remains a key strength and is at the core of why we are forming strong partnerships with leading companies like Cisco and Google. Second, Zix is a strong company today. I watched Rick Spurr and the team with increasing admiration over the past 12 years as they focused the company and delivered profitable growth. We are a $50+ million revenue cloud-based security company with more than 13,000 customers and 49 million email addresses in our community. We are growing, we are profitable and we are returning cash to our shareholders through our share repurchase program. But the real strength of the company is its people. Our people understand how to simplify security and compliance, and deliver it transparently to our customers. That customer value results in our strong retention and revenue growth. Third, at Zix we have a tremendous opportunity for growth in the future. The Information Security market is in a time of incredible transition. Computing is moving to mobile devices and to the cloud, and we are in the earliest stages of solving the security challenges of the Internet of Things. These market transitions necessitate the transmission of exponentially increasing amounts of sensitive data. Zix's innovative cloud-based secure communications service - founded in the '90s and honed over 20 years by a team that understands how to deliver encrypted communications easily and transparently for our customers - provides a great platform for growth. I look forward to working with our customers, partners and colleagues to deliver on the next stage of growth at Zix.

Welcome back friends and future friends! Trying to get these recaps out a little earlier this week so you can follow along with my DramaClub discussion even if you don't have access to watch the episodes. Look forward to episode 6's recap coming to you later tonight. As always I've thrown in some bonus comments that my big mouth couldn't help but say and this week there were many ;)
Okay so we left off last week with the revelation that Tae Woon was most likely the Dr. Seed that Ji Na was looking for. He was, of course, and he was totally super excited to see Ji Na. Ji Na understandably was not so excited. After all, she's trying to limit their encounters as much as possible, but he keeps showing up. Then it starts to rain and Ji Na is trying to take cover and run away, but has blisters from looking all over for Tae Woon and is wearing heels. He pulls out another one of those macho moves and covers her with her jacket and then lifts her onto his back to give her a piggyback out of the rain.
She is uncharacteristically at a loss for words at his chivalry. I like their interactions during these moments. The tables turn and he takes charge and she just goes along with it. Ji Na goes to leave and Tae Woon offers her a ride. She can't really turn him down because she didn't drive there and they still have business to discuss.
So they start heading back They briefly discuss work and don't get much accomplished. Then he asks her not to tell anyone he's Dr. Seed and she says she doesn't want anyone knowing they were together anyway. She sets her GPS for him and tells him to follow the directions exactly.
Meanwhile at the office beautiful Hee Cheul is working late and guess who else? Oh, it's Hye Mi, big surprise. She asks him to take a coffee break and they go and chill out on the balcony. She asks him out for dinner and he only thinly veils that he is not at all interested, but she doesn't seem to get it.
So back to Ji Na and Tae Woon. She's asleep by now and he's still driving. It's clear he thinks they're somewhere they shouldn't be, but remembers her instructions to follow the GPS no matter what so he keeps going. Some time later Ji Na awakes and it's morning and finds that they arrived at the ocean. She had selected the wrong city on the GPS and because Tae Woon did what she said without question he followed the directions there. Then it turns out the van's battery died while Tae Woon was waiting for Ji Na to wake up. It turns out they need a new battery and it'll take two hours. Ji Na starts to freak out and doesn't want to eat while they're waiting for the car's battery. Tae Woon steps in and gets stern with her telling her that she has to eat because he doesn't want to see her hungry. She gets quiet again and follows him into town.
To Ji Na's dismay the restaurants only serve spicy fish stew, which she says she hates more than anything else in the world. She ends up revealing that she has a vast knowledge of seafood giving a glimpse into her past, but she lies and said she has a lake house. When will the lies end, Ji Na?!? Anyway, Tae Woon's having a little difficulty with his food so she takes and cuts his fish for him in a genuinely kind moment and he has a flashback of his mother doing the same for him as a boy. He gives her the look that says he has never seen anyone more lovely in his life. They leave the restaurant and she's still limping because of her blisters and heels so Tae Woon buys her some ugly, but comfy shoes.
Ji Na gets back to the office and overhears Hye Mi taking the (other) office ladies to lunch. They insinuate that Hye Mi is kinder and more clever than Ji Na. Ji Na scowls- she knows where she stands now. At lunch the ladies are talking about how to win a man and Manager Oh explains that she got her very attractive husband by cooking 12 side dishes. Hye Mi's eyes sparkles. Hmm, wonder if she's going to try it.
We get to catch up with the chairman who's off somewhere fishing. We find out that a "Senator Yoon" is trying to get enough shares to be the majority shareholder of the company and it turns out that he has a daughter that now works there who he's trying to get to marry Hee Cheul. Hello, Hye Mi! Also, that explains a lot. The chairman's assistant says that either way Hee Cheul will become the new chairman either as the chairman's son or the senator's son-in-law. The chairman has an odd sort of look on his face, like he doesn't agree, or maybe he just feels guilty that Hee Cheul has to deal with that pressure.
So now that we know that Hee Cheul's facing the pressure, he gets a call from the Senator. He lies to him and say he didn't know Hye Mi was working late the other day otherwise he would have eaten dinner together and says that going forward he'll make sure she eats her meals. This leads him to call Hye Mi and tell her that she can take him out for dinner that night.
So guess what? She cooks for him. At least she tries. It turns out that she's horrible. If I've learned anything from Korean dramas it's that about half of the Korean women can't cook, but all chaebols can. Hee Cheul offers to help. She turns him down and eventually they go out to eat instead. Hye Mi tells a little about her background and how she wants to accomplish things on her own without her dad doing it for her. She insinuates that this includes winning Hee Cheul over, which makes him feel a little guilty, because it seems he has no genuine interest in her apart from appeasing the Senator.
Back at Ji Na's pad, her creepy friend has moved herself into Ji Na's house and while Ji Na tries to kick her out the girl threatens to call Ji Na's mom so she has no choice but to let creepo stay. Although I think it's good for Ji Na to have somewhere there to support her. She needs someone on her side like I've been saying, especially since the girls at work have clearly chosen Hye Mi's side (the wrong side).
That was the recap and here are my thoughts. There are many this episode and they are quite opinionated.
-Tae Woon is crazy stupid in love. He went from zero to sixty. Oh, his poor heart isn't going to be able to take it. The only way this is going to work is if Ji Na falls equally in love with him. I mean, I love Hee Cheul, but I wouldn't feel emotionally responsible if I didn't root for the Unfortunate couple to succeed.
-I absolutely am in love with the character trait that Tae Woon displays where he can be all airy and fancy free, but when it comes to taking care of Ji Na he is very confident and assertive. This is such a unique K-drama character and while I didn't completely understand him in the beginning, he grows on me each episode.
-I knew that GPS situation was not going to go well, but there are far worse destinations than the ocean.
-The Chairman seems like he has a secret, more than one. Why do I feel like he's going to try to make Tae Woon CEO? I hope that's completely off-based because he would be a horrible CEO.
-I used to feel sorry for you, Hye Mi, but now I just feel sorry for Hee Cheul. Take a hint, girl. He does not like you! He just feels obligated to spend time with you because your dad's got a lot of power. Just look at the faces he makes when he's talking to you.
-I would never in a million years eat a food called "Busted Raven". Maybe because that's my sister's name, or maybe because it sounds hella nasty.
-Am I the only one who doesn't think it's romantic when a girl reminds a guy of his mother? Guys who want to be mothered give me the creeps.
-I love that Tae Woon feels bad that the shoes he got are ugly.
-Apparently salad bars are a fancy place to eat in Korea. Lol.
-"Flexitarian"? Really? These office ladies are really "trying to make fetch happen", aren't they?
-Omo! When Ji Na tucked her friend in, that was adorable. Under the hardened facade she really is quite sweet.
-I really hope Ji Na pulls off sprawling onto the floor like that. She's pretty good at that type of thing and now would be the perfect time to take advantage of that skill set.

Sa-Roc returns with WWII (Word War II), the second installment of her Wisdom Wednesdays series. Continuing the lyrical onslaught of last week's Queen Ting, Sa-Roc murderously rips through this two minute Sol Messiah produced banger.
Directed By: Sol Messiah
I could be the last of the classical acts in modern times. I'm the Nina Simone of rappers; got a bag of black magic stashed in a rather elaborate package taped to the spine. The upper echelons of humankind, you and I ain't in the same vicinity, so you'll never be suited for my secluded climb. This Guggenheim shit and y'all arts and crafts. Most of your peers won't come close to {the wiz}, and truth be told none of these lying cats ever had the {heart}to last. So much building got em calling me the architect. And so you'll never catch me rhyming bout my ass but my past three albums was bout astral travel but I never saw a magazine or blogger feature or market that. And the awkward fact is that I still spit spheres round your top five picks so if you calling that shit fly then I go Mach Five, seen? imma dot I's, cross t's, the call's easy. But nowadays they need a hand deciphering writing this complex so i call my first verse to every song my prosthesis. And when the introduction's over I proceed to shake up their confidence in every mc they sponsored like grand mal seizures. I'm all season. I don't give a gotdamn about a pop fan putting me inside their top ten, I do not plan to drop, bend, twerk, spread, I am here to offend your senses with some senseless sentences down in Austin at the south by showcase with a straight face at a turnt venue. And when I'm done i throw a deuce up in the atmosphere. Come in peace or you might get your Adam's apple speared. With all these sharp witted lines and verses I'm a threat to any opponents I find roaming through dem atlases. And they wonder why I can be so cavalier about it, I run with a team of champions let's be clear about it, Trust me, I can bullshit my first 12 bars then leave the final four with a winning shot that surprises everybody. Cuz im a lyrical beast in the street dem. Gods illest gladiator with a muheffing ink pen. I got Almoravids moonlighting as my henchmen, the dopest rhyme slayers from out the deep end. Sa-Roc

Back in the days of NES and 8-bit gaming, I used to be a huge Castlevania fan. And it looks like I wasn't the only one. However, unlike me, gamer Nick "Nario" Hagman just couldn't let go of his Simon Belmont fascination that easy. Nario recently spent over 100 hours in Minecraft over 37 consecutive days recreating the original Castlevania game—in its entirety!
This video is just pure awesomeness to me. You can see both side-scrolling and first-person views with the map in the corner. The only thing missing is Dracula himself.
According to Nario, this project was made entirely by "hand" and no mods were involved in the making of this game in-game. Only textures and character skins.
If you want to play Castlevania in Minecraft, head over to his YouTube page to download the Castlevania world, texture pack, and Belmont skin.

Twice the Results, Half The Time
"These days I don't even think about my age. I honestly don't. When someone asks me my age, or the topic of age comes up I actually have to think for a second how old I am. It's because I honestly do not feel a day over 30.I have reversed my mental 'age-image' of myself by over 10 years. I weigh less than I did when I was in high school. I've never ever been in this good of shape in my entire life. It's a very powerful feeling. It continues to drive me."

As everything has moved online in the automotive marketing industry you can see how constant learning and innovation has become essential to survival. There is probably no better example than the crash and burn we are witnessing in real time with Apple. The "Steve Jobs Effect" is gone with the death of their visionary leader. The company that brought us the iPod, iTunes, the iPhone, the iPad and most other brilliant technological breakthroughs has turned down an alley and hit the wall.
The latest incarnation of the iPhone is boring. The iPhone 5C is a cheapo version that comes in colors. Steven Jobs was never known for embracing "cheapo" so he probably wouldn't be happy. The more expensive version, the 5S, has almost no innovation. When the hot thing is bigger screens, Apples new version as still small screens. When better cameras in the phones are hot, Apples new phones have cameras that are nothing special. It's almost like Apple started wearing a blindfold when Steve Jobs died.
It's important that your dealership not get behind even though sales have improved. Use the increased revenue to make an investment in scaling up your dealership's innovation. Explore some of the amazing things the cutting edge vendors are doing.
The pages of this issue have innovative technology from vendors like Contact At Once, DME, Stream Companies, PCG, Rich Dealers, AVA, AutoAlert, and Car-mercial. You can also attend some of the auto events that happen through the year to see what's new. It's all about thinking ahead. Someone should tell Apple…before it's too late.

Over the years in the blogosphere and on the handbag-lovers forum that I lurk in, I've always noticed the deep love for the Longchamp Le Pilage bag... and frankly, I didn't get it. Sure I'd like to have a "Made In France" designer bag from Longchamp but it better be rich, buttery leather! I seriously don't get the concept of a high-end bag that's not made of leather... I guess that's the non-vegan in me talking.
Anyway, I was in a consignment store sometime last year and saw a nice Longchamp Le Pilage for $65. Curiosity got the better of me and I purchased it. I didn't get a chance to use it until my weekend trip to Puerto Rico 2 weeks ago and now?
Wow! Now I get it!
Fundamentally, this is a handbag with the cargo capacity of a backpack. For the first time ever in my adult travelling history, I could fit all my in-flight cabin essentials - ipad, 2 phones, 2 charges, passport, wallet, keys, toiletries - in ONE bag. And the bag did not look misshapen or get heavier as the day progressed. Bonus points for it being waterproof so I can keep it under the airplane seat in front of me without worrying about stains
UnFun Fact: I have a Micheal Kors handbag permanently stained from some random fluid on the floor of the plane
I so enjoyed travelling with the Longchamp Le Pilage that I briefly flirted with the idea of selling all my handbags and owning just a couple of these. It really does check a lot of boxes but I don't think I'm going to follow up on that wild thought. While the Le Pilage is almost as awesome as sliced white bread with a decadent layer of salted butter, it's not formal enough for my business casual work environment. The only imperfection was having to dig into the cavernous interior of the bag to find my phones and keys. I have since solved this problem by ordering an organizer off Amazon that fits perfectly.
Thanks for reading my fan-mail and have a nice Tuesday

Review of Noritz NRCP water heaters from ecoTough series, a series that includes two condensing models NRCP1112 and NRCP982 utilizing superior features such as the built-in recirculation pumps for faster hot water delivery and control panel for greater comfort and convenience.
Noritz water heaters NRCP1112 and NRCP982 are two of the most powerful and efficient models from this manufacturer, equipped with the tankless and condensing technology, and able to provide ultra-high performance with significant savings. The secondary condensing heat exchanger made of the heavy duty stainless steel is what makes the thermal transfer superior and resistant to scale build-up.
High energy factor of up to 0.94 is found on NRCP models either using natural or propane gas, but this is not all, they also come with the high water flow rate of 11.1 GPM, found on NRCP1112 models and 10.1 GPM found on NRCP982 models.
They are recommended for the combined residential water and space heating, where the smaller model NRCP982 can be used in homes with 2-3 bathrooms while larger NRCP1112 for use in 3-4 bath homes.
What makes the NRCP series unique and different from other tankless water heaters from this manufacturer is the built-in recirculation pump that can be used in the external and internal recirculation lines, resulting in faster hot water delivery, reduced water, and energy consumption.
The units are equipped with the advanced electronics that feature useful diagnostics system allowing users and service technicians easy troubleshooting and the control panel that is built-in in the front of the unit for easy and convenient use.
The control panel consists of several functional buttons and large LCD display screen to control, adjust, and display info such as the time, temperature, water flow, operational and status icons, error codes and history, or program the recirculation system...
The small and compact design of approximately 28"x17"x15" allows users, when replacing the tank-type water heater, to save the floor space for other use as these models are installed on the wall. Thanks to the power venting and sealed combustion chamber, installation is possible almost anywhere inside the house.
If the Noritz NRCP water heaters are installed in cold places such as the garage, unheated basement or crawl space, the freeze protection of -30 F keeps them safe from freezing temperatures.
NRCP models are for indoor installation only and are designed with the two-pipe direct vent system that is also convertible to a single vent, allowing great flexibility in the indoor installation. Moreover, since the PVC pipes can be used due to the lower exhaust temperature, installation gets cheaper and simpler.
The main drawback of the NRCP series is that the models are not compatible with the quick-connect system that allows linking two heaters into one system, which is very useful in high-demanding homes.
|Models / Specs
|Gas input (BTU)
|18,000 – 199,900
|18,000 – 180,000
|Water flow (GPM)
|Energy factor
|Temp. settings (F)
|Energy consumption (Watts)
|Max. vent, length (ft)
|Size (inch)
|Weight (lbs)
The comparison table and features review show that both models from Noritz NRCP series are alike, but there are some differences such as the power, flow rate and condensate neutralizer that is available on NRCP1112 only.

Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are reuniting once again, with both actors attached to star in Devil's Night.
The story centers on Leonard and Gabe, two best friends who bonded over the annual Devil's Night holiday that eventually lead to their friendship's abrupt ending. 15 years later, Leonard and Gabe must reunite to help save their town from massive destruction and chaos. The title refers to October 30, which, in the 1970s and 1980s, was an unofficial "holiday" where young men and women would commit acts of vandalism and arson. Devil's Night was previously referenced in The Crow and Grosse Pointe Blank.
Andrew Mogel and Jarrad Paul wrote the screenplay, with Will Ferrell and Adam McKay producing through their Gary Sanchez Productions company. No production schedule was given.
Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly previously teamed up in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby and Step Brothers.

Skip to comments.ANDREW BREITBART: Donald Trump Is Not A Conservative (2011)
Posted on 01/12/2016 11:26:35 AM PST by justlittleoleme
Appearing on the O'Reilly Factor last night, with guest host Juan Williams, radio host Leslie Marshall and conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart agreed that a potential Donald Trump candidacy is a bad sign for America.
Marshall warned America about what happens when you elect a celebrity for office like they did in California with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"No experience, a lot of celebrity and a lot of cult of personality. And we see more of that in politics. So I would say don't underestimate the Donald.
"Quite frankly, this celebrity goes a long way. Remember, the number one reason people vote for a candidate, Juan, is name recognition. He has huge name recognition."
Breitbart also did not seem to be a fan of Trump either, saying "he is not a conservative." He also had a warning for Republicans if they don't get their act together.
"Celebrity is everything in this country. And if these guys don't learn how to play the media the way that Barack Obama played the media last election cycle and the way that Donald Trump is playing the election cycle, we're going to probably get a celebrity candidate."
(Excerpt) Read more at businessinsider.com ...
Juan: Is Donald Trump a Conservative?
Andrew: Of course he's not a conservative he was for Nancy Pelosi before he was against Nancy Pelosi.....
Now it's Andy's turn to do chassis inspections. Under the bus he goes.
Get lost. You and Weaselie Marshall good buddies?
Desperation is an ugly thing.
Ted Cruz is no natural born citizen. You like that?
Bank on it.
Well he's sorta dead so he hasn't commented on it lately.
Or like Ronald Reagan. I kinda think it depends on the person.
It's silly to post stuff like this as relevant.
My impression of Trump was and always had been very negative.
But seeing is believing and what he has done to take down the propagandist media and establishment GOP and Dems and moving the discussion to the key issues is great and very real.
How many times was Trump on pedophile island with B Clinton?
You like that?
no comparison between Trump and Schwarzenegger . Swartz was strictly and actor and Trump is an ultra successful international business man .
Andrew Breitbart had a lot of great ideas and started a movement . His book is awesome and informative . It
would be truly interesting to see what he would say about the Trump phenomenon / tsunami today . Of course he can't ,because he didn't watch is health/diet and died before his time . Either that or he was murdered
You tell me. Post a link. Or shut up the lying.
If conservatives are like GHW Bush, W Bush, McCain, Romney, etc., I don't care for anymore. The GOPe party can kiss my @@@.
Not Really: If anyone knew what conservatism was at his point in time it was Andrew Breitbart....
What Breitbart said back then, outside the cloud of Trump is very relevant now.
Breitbart was a self-professed liberal early on.
Well now you did...Breitbart's going to be labeled a fraud, schmuck, and liar just like Levin, Limbaugh, Malkin, and other prominent Conservatives for pointing out the sad truth.
No, the point us agreed with Breitbart then.
Heck, I agreed six months ago.
But what he has done is real and gas moved conservative positions and outlook and strength further, in a shorter period of time, than anyone else.
What was said prior to this is irrelevant because it is based on a different set of data.
I don't have to.
I just asked the question and by Trump standards it's now up to Trump to prove it's not true.
See how it works.
No kidding. One of the most disheartening things about the Trump candidacy has been to watch Trump supporters denounce long time conservatives after they warned that Trump is not one of us. Regardless of who the person was they've been savaged for not being faithful to the new faith of conservatism as preached by the TV reality star turned populist "conservative." Many of those denounced have been conservatives going back before Ronald Reagan was President.
There was once a time when Breitbart was well respected on FR. My, how times have changed. Since 2011.

Donating My Hair
And yes, I am speaking in the past tense. Yesterday I cut it all off and will be donating it to Pantene Beautiful Lengths!
This is my first time donating my hair and I'm pretty excited about it. It feels way less wasteful than when I just get it cut and throw it away, this time it is actually serving a purpose. Plus, my hair is crazy thick so I feel like I'm donating twice as much.
I had some fun taking some before shots of my hair when it was freshly washed and looking especially nice, excuse my shower background and my casual clothing choice.
I hate how my hair always looks so nice right before I chop it off. Can't I be cutting it on a bad hair day? Nope, never.
My hairdresser was awesome and cooperated with my request of taking step by step photos. I wanted to document this moment well and I knew I wanted to share pictures with you all.
We put it into four little ponytails so that we could keep as much length on my head as possible and because I have crazy thick hair and it is easier to cut when not in one huge chunk. And then she cut!
It's so short! But look at all that hair I'm holding, it will hopefully be super helpful in making wigs. My fabulous hairdresser then worked her magic and I ended up looking pretty great.
I'm totally loving it and it feels so much lighter already. I'm really happy that I did this and am excited to have short hair again.
Has anyone else ever donated their hair? I don't know why I haven't done this before, I definitely want to do it again. Although I may change my mind after I wash it and my real hair returns. I'll keep you posted.

...and then when you adopt, you won't take as long to wash and style your hair! That has to be a bonus! As a wig wearer ( I only wear synthetics) it's lovely to see you donating to someone who can use the hair. It looks very pretty shorter.ReplyDelete
It does feel good to donate hair :) and new hair cuts are always fun! You look great.ReplyDelete
I have donated my hair three times I think. And shaved it twice to raise money for Leucan. It always feel a great and it always grows back. I hope your hair makes nice wigs!!ReplyDelete

I donated my hair once before - isn't it such a great feeling? Short hair really suits you, by the way. Short hair doesn't look great on me so it'll be a long time before I donate again, if I do. But it was super rewarding experience!ReplyDelete

Sending out invitations to any party sets the tone for the event long before your guests ever step foot in the door. And when it comes to your impending nuptials, the ante is majorly upped—so you need to become familiar with some wedding invitation etiquette (and let's be real: It's changed a bit since your parents' time). Since we're 99% positive you have at least 20 different invite designs already pinned, there's no need for us to go into detail about the style you should go for (although it's great if it ties into your wedding theme or color palette a bit).
The whirlwind of questions tends to revolve around when to send out the invitations, RSVP deadlines, save-the-dates, dress codes, and plus-ones (yes, those pesky things). Since you've got plenty of other things to focus on, we decided to answer all your wedding invitation etiquette questions once and for all. You can send us a thank-you note later.
How early should we send out our invitations?
Typically, if you're having a wedding nearby, you should send invites out six to eight weeks before the wedding. The flip side is if you're having a destination wedding in which travel would have to be booked. In that case, give guests around three months so they can plan—and budget—accordingly. You can also choose to send out save-the-dates anywhere between six to eight months before your big day so guests can hold the date on their calendars.
What should we make our RSVP deadline?
You're going to need to give your caterer a final headcount a few weeks or so prior to the reception, so plan your RSVP date based on that. Since there are always forgetful guests, give yourself a week or so of buffer time before you and your designated crew have to make phone calls. By the way, don't feel bad asking friends to help out when it comes to reaching out to guests—you'll be busy enough by this time.
Where does the return address go?
With formal invites, the return address should go on the back flap of your envelope. If your parents or someone other than you are accepting the RSVPs, then it should be their address (not yours). Also, don't forget to have that same address already printed on the front of the RSVP envelope, and include a stamp so it can be popped in the mail.
How do we inform guests of our dress code?
As we mentioned, the invitation style should already give some details about how formal your affair will be. However, there is nothing wrong with including a simple line like "black tie" or "cocktail attire" to steer guests in the right direction. It's also worth noting whether a ceremony will be on the beach or outside so your family and friends can plan footwear and outerwear accordingly (sunblock, too!).
How do we indicate we're having an adults-only wedding?
I attended a wedding where a few babies cried through half of the ceremony, which is why some people (understandably) choose to have adults-only affairs. If that's the case, you would simply address the invitation to the parents. If someone RSVPs with extra names, you can call them and simply say it's an adults-only event. PS: It can be a nice gesture to hire a babysitter if there are a lot of children on either side of the family (or both).
Do we include our registry details?
This is a definite no because this is basically saying "buy us gifts." You can make a wedding website and include it on the bottom corner or on a separate insert. Your website should link to your registry wherever you happen to have it (although we happen to love Zola). Or you can go the old-fashioned route and have your bridal party and friends spread the word about where you've registered.
Who do we give a plus-one?
Ah, and now we get to the dreaded "and guest" situation on the invite. The rule of thumb is that if a guest is dating someone seriously—as in they live together, they're engaged, or you've met them several times—then you technically should give them a plus-one (this is obviously at your discretion, however). I've heard mixed reviews about giving members of your bridal party dates that are single at the moment—but let me chime in here as I've been a single bridesmaid three times this year. If you can afford to offer your friend a plus-one, please do so to avoid the awkward "I'm alone on the dance floor" moments. If you aren't able to do so, have an in-person chat or phone call to explain the situation and go from there (after all, this person is doling out hundreds to thousands of dollars to be a part of your special day, and you don't want them to feel uncomfortable). Side note: If guests call to request a date, you can say no, just be sure to have a singles table if you say you're going to.
What do you think about this wedding invitation etiquette? Is there anything we missed? Sound off in the comments.

Let your bottles stand upright for 5 to 7 days to allow the corks to expand to create a solid seal. Then store your bottles on their sides to keep the interior side of the corks wet so they won't dry out.
Excessive air in your open bottle of wine can cause your wine to oxidize. Depending on the amount of air in the open bottle, wine can go "off" in as little as 24 hours or as long as a week. Spoiling of your open wine can be delayed by ensuring it is firmly capped and/or storing it in the refrigerator.
To avoid spoilage of open wine, many customers use a vacuum wine pump which pumps the air out of the partially full bottle to create a vacuum seal. Wine pumps are widely available in retail stores.
Wine Kitz Ottawa Iris carries Vacuum Wine Pumps for $15.00 each.
The most critical element to the longevity of your wine is the conditions under which it is stored. The more ideal the conditions, the more longevity you can expect.
So, cellar your wine in the coolest, quietest, darkest place available in your home. The warmer the environment the faster your wine will age. Temperature fluctuations of more than 10°F / 6°C can spoil wine, so find a place that has a consistent temperature and humidity level. The ideal storage temperature for wine is between 13°C – 15°C (45°F – 58°F). Minimal exposure to light and movement or agitation will also assist in the aging process.
Check out this nifty Wine Storage chart.

Modern Learning: What, Why and How?
Modern learning offers a holistic approach by recognizing that people absorb information in more than one way. At its core, this learning model consists of three learning methods: experiential (70%) social (20%), and formal (10%) (Woody 2016). These three methods allow students to develop the fundamental skills needed for personal development and self-growth, and are key in enhancing their overall learning experience. Modern learning helps expand the thinking capabilities of learners to help them make better informed decisions and connections with others that are unmediated by an institution. This shift in learning methods motivates students to learn on their own in an environment that addresses the needs and demands of our future leaders.
Traditional learning methods are more passive in the way they are structured and directed/organized. Instead of being able to immediately apply newfound concepts, skills, and ideas to a real-life experience, the learning process is controlled. This is what typically exists in institutions and in the school system even in the present day. One of its notable downfalls is how it privatizes space and does not offer the same openness and flexibility that is available through modern learning. As a result, this influences how information is consumed by learners and creates a barrier that is both unengaging and passive.
Modern learning is split up into three core groups, with experiential learning as the largest component at 70 percent. In this method, students learn by doing and are given the opportunity to get hands-on and engage with others. It teaches students how to apply previous learning when faced with unfamiliar situations to gain valuable insight on the task at hand. Ultimately, experiential learning helps bridge the gap between formal and informal methods of learning by putting knowledge into practice.
At the base of this framework, formal learning carefully structures the way information is delivered and received by students. Hereby, information is transmitted in a systematic way that enforces training and learning from others. Like traditional methods, formal learning encourages students to work with defined goals and objectives to further their learning.
Social learning ties up this cycle through the act of reflection. Once both experiential and formal learning has taken place, students then work together to expand on their knowledge and deepen their understanding of the material through collaboration and mentoring. This includes discussing areas of improvement, problem solving, and hypothesizing theories to ultimately build a shared community of knowledge. With this method alone, knowledge retention is said to increase by 70% as a result of detailed attention and active participation (Woody 2016). This observation of behaviour has its benefits and helps instruct students on how to modify their own performance after sincere reflection.
Modern learning has proven to be a positive influence on youth by offering flexibility, openness, and access to resources (Osborne, 2013). Through active collaboration, youth learn to work through observations and gain a true understanding of how their capabilities are shaped by others. It gives youth the opportunity to enhance their learning and be a valuable contributor in their personal growth, self-esteem, and development of life fundamentals.
Youth benefit from having structured activities that encourage participation and reward them with long-term life skills. It encourages them to initiate a learning experience and connect to the physical world and authentic contexts (Malone & Tranter, 2003). This interaction in modern learning environments creates a sense of independency and motivates youth to become self-directed learners. It teaches youth about the importance of creating social connections and fostering relationships with others.
When all three modern learning methods are singled out, students become limited in how they apply their knowledge to new contexts. Therefore, it is important that in the 21st century, modern learning has a place in all teaching environments where learning from others, learning by doing, and learning through observations are widely recognized and adopted.
Soccer For Change has adopted this approach to assist in the personal development of its participants in their Youth Leadership Development Program. With a framework that uses all three methods of modern learning combined, volunteers can fully immerse themselves in the experience and apply it to real-world contexts. It goes beyond being able to act as a leader; it involves developing important life skills, strengths and mentoring, that benefit our volunteers and youth participants for the future. During our service trips, all three methods are set up so that they complement one another throughout the day. Formal training takes the role through group activities and workshops to instruct our volunteers and help them best prepare for the afternoon Soccer Camp. The Soccer Camp provides the experiential stage for our leaders to work with the youth and provide them with engaging activities in a safe and fun environment. These activities are then evaluated as a follow-up to determine the outcome and the experience of those involved. Through this programming, leaders at SFC grow to make impactful connections with youth using modern learning to positively influence their learning dynamic.

I've run into Geoff Star (guitar) and Roddy Soul (vocals) from Rebel Emergency more times off stage than on, but even so, I have seen them perform once at an Artist Sanctuary event and once when they opened for illScarlett. I like a few of their songs from their self-titled EP released in 2008, but more recently they released their debut full-length album Love Ain't Free. I hadn't heard any of the new material until a few days before their Rock Your Stockings Christmas Bash at the Sound Academy. read more (534 words)

text: This is getting a bit long so if you do not have time, then skip this. I've looked a little more at the issue of a DIB Engine and tried to use the feedback so far to get an idea what the possible architecture could be. First I took a look at how Windows seems to do it currently (excluding Vista). There GDI32 is mostly a wrapper around win32k.sys and the different GDI APIs call mostly into corresponding NtGdi... functions in win32k.sys. Those functions do the actual handling and call the according driver that is attached to the DC. The interface to the driver is similar to what is done now in Wine although not identical. The modern Windows display driver interface uses sometimes more or less different functions than the old one as used in Wine. A driver can either not implement certain functions, only implement them for its device specific surfaces, or hook certain calls by returning flags inside the driver initialization structure on initialization. Those hook flags tell the GDI engine that the driver wants to be called for DIB surfaces too for particular functions and bit depths. The driver will then be called for according DIB surfaces too and it can decide to do whatever it can do best and for those cases it doesn't know well how to do it, call back into the GDI engine using an according Eng... function. This calling back into the GDI engine for hooked functions is called punting by MS. If the driver didn't provide the actual function it will possibly be simulated by the GDI engine by calling other driver functions and if the driver didn't hook the function or didn't succeed and it is for a DIB surface then the GDI engine itself will call the according Eng... function. GDI32 exports most of those Eng... functions too but that are simply user space wrappers around the win32k.sys entry points for those functions. >From a design view it might be interesting to separate the actual GDI engine into a subpart that corresponds with the NtGdi... functions in win32k.sys eventhough they might stay inside GDI32 for the time being. The actual Eng... functions would be also placed inside that GDI engine and are in fact mostly the long awaited DIB engine. Such an architecture would make reuse of such a GDI32/win32k combo in other projects fairly easy. However this NtGdi API is not documented although it is presumably mostly a mirror of the GDI API. There are lists of what APIs win32k.sys does export and how many parameters each of these functions takes, extracted from the actual win32k.sys file. Eventhough Windows keeps them in the win32k.sys kernel I think it would be a good idea to keep them all in GDI32 for the time being. If that API is at some time mostly complete and separation into its own DLL or something would be desired, this could be done quite easily. But it is certainly quite a bit tedious to do and would require at least partly some sort of clean room reverse engineering and it's not really necessary for a DIB engine at all at this point. There is a little problem with those Eng.. functions however. They are modeled after the new NT display driver interface that is in so far different that it does use partly different functions and parameters to the old (I assume Win 3.1 display driver) interface used in Wine and this is even more or less all documented in the DDK, although the basic principle between the Windows driver interface and what Wine does is of course mostly the same. I can't really see however how it would be possible to change that interface to match the modern NT display driver interface in a seemless manner as it would mean a significant change in winex11.drv, winequartz.drv and the GDI32 (aka win32k.sys) that would need to be done mostly in a few big chunks to not completly break everything. So what would remain is adding the actual Eng... and object access API to GDI. These APIs are (all?) documented in the DDK and could be implemented based on MSDN information alone together with maybe some test cases. The actual driver interface might remain mostly the same as it is now with some extra addition to return to the GDI engine extra flags to indicate hooks for DIB surfaces. Then implementation of the Eng... functions would have to start and as they are fleshed out and work they get integrated into the calling logic one for one. Until this is completely done the current separations for DIBs into appstate and serverstate would have to remain, so that the X11 driver can still pass them to the X11 server for rendering of not implemented DIB engine operations. Once the DIB engine is finished (if ever :-) this could be removed as the X11 driver would not anymore hook any of the DIB operations. If winequartz.drv wants to continue hooking DIB operations it can do so of course. To start with, the actual header winddi.h defining most of the Eng.. calls could be added as ddk header to Wine. There seems to be a copyright free version of this header file from Casper S. Hornstrup that is part of the w32api package. I have thought about modifying the driver function call array instead as Alexandre has pointed out in the past as possible solution instead of adding the actual Eng... calls explicitedly into the GDI engine as fall back. But this seems not a good solution to me. The driver wants to be informed of graphic operations for device specific surfaces most often I would assume and only might want to not get called for device contexts containing a dib section. And as some have pointed out winequartz may even want to get called for DIBs too. In order to allow for such a dynamic overriding of function pointers in the driver function array, that array would have to be allocated dynamically on a device context base and I think this would make everything slower, more memory consuming and it wouldn't really be easier although I admit that adding Eng.. calls everywhere and correctly is quite some work to do. The issue about network transparency for the display driver would not be an issue IMO. Once complete the DIB engine would handle all DIB operations locally and so no need for translating direct memory access into remote calls to some display server would be necessary. And the blitting of DIBs to the display when necessary would still be done through the driver of course so everything would be transparent as far as the capabilities of the used display device itself allow for that.

It's not actually raining today, but it feels like we've had quite a bit of rain lately, so I've been gathering together a collection of watery reflections. Some in rivers, some in canals, some on the road and some in puddles.
Here are a couple a Parc de la Villette.
The river in Donegal town.
Gutters in Paris, not all bad.
After the rain in the Jardin des Tuileries.
The stream in the Square des Batignolles.
Our balcony.
A green traffic light blends with blue.
And finally another non Paris one which I love, Donegal bay.

10 Top Bottles
2002 Avery Lane Sauvignon Blanc ($7) From a Washington State producer with a remarkable commitment to value, this lively, medium-bodied Sauvignon Blanc (in only its second vintage) has bright fruit and a well-integrated cut of citrusy acidity.
2002 Domaine Tempier Bandol Rosé ($27) A fruity but dry Provençal rosé is especially good with a salty ham. This bottling has the body of a red wine and the juiciness of a white.
2000 Museum Crianza ($14) This red from north-central Spain's Cigales region is a lot like a lively, lightly aged Rioja. It's medium-bodied with flavors of spicy black pepper and crushed plum.
2001 Potel-Aviron Morgon Château-Gaillard ($19) A fine Beaujolais may be the most flexible wine you can buy—able to complement heavy grilled meats but not so intense that it overwhelms lighter dishes. This elegant, fruity version is from dynamic Burgundy négociant Nicolas Potel.
2001 Le Serre Nuove di Tenuta dell'Ornellaia ($50) Grilled lamb is a Tuscan specialty, and this generous Italian red from the Tuscan region of Bolgheri is the meat's perfect match—with soft, refined tannins and an appealing youthful suppleness.
