Paris Hilton
Giving their fans an insider's look at all the 86th Academy Awards festivities, many of our favorite stars posted photos and messages to their Twitter, Instagram and Facebook pages.
Selena Gomez shared a silly picture with her gal pal Vanessa Hudgens along with the caption, [email protected] my only, official party buddy for life."
She announced her new gig as a "world-renowned" deejay last fall, but now it seems Paris Hilton might not consider the exciting profession as a priority.
In the Music issue of V magazine, the former reality star dished about her deejay performances and her strong work ethic.
Clearly thrilled to celebrate her birthday bash, Paris Hilton got all gussied up in a bright pink Alon Livne dress for the Hollywood celebration last weekend.
The former reality star turned 33 years old and while posing on the red carpet, Parish showed off a bit more skin then she may have bargained for.
Getting all dolled up for her special day, Paris Hilton held her birthday party at Greystone in Los Angeles on Saturday (February 15).
The guest of honor arrived in a sleeveless pink gown with a large silver handbag and a glittering tiara as she posed for pics outside.
Treating themselves to some high-end fashion, Paris Hilton and Zendaya Coleman both showed up at the Betsey Johnson Fall 2014 runway presentation at New York Fashion Week on Wednesday (February 12).
The "Simple Life" starlet looked lovely in a blue printed dress as she mingled with both Betsey and Lulu Johnson in the backstage area.
Milk Studios was spilling over with stars as The Blonds hosted their runway presentation at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week on Wednesday (February 12).
Paris Hilton and Kat Graham looked lovely as they closely observed the latest looks as they paraded down the runway while Joe Jonas and Blanda Eggenschwiler chilled out in their front row seats.
Continuing to keep up with their fashion extravaganzas during New York Fashion Week, Paris and Nicky Hilton attended the Alice + Olivia presentation in New York City on Monday (February 10).
Looking fashion forward as usual, both sisters opted for neutral looks with Paris sporting a black blouse and lace shorts while Nicky rocked a peplum dress.
Sizzling for a very hot event, some lovely ladies headed to the Liberty Theater in New York City for the 11th Annual Leather & Laces Party on Friday (January 31).
Posing for pics on the red carpet, Paris Hilton showed off her slim figure in a cropped black leather top and matching skirt while her sister Nicky wore a long-sleeved, knee-length black outfit
Bringing her parting poise to the red carpet, Paris Hilton was the center of attention as she arrived at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards tonight (January 26).
Primped to perfection and donning designer duds, the "Simple Life" hottie was in good spirits as she posed with Birdman outside the Staples Center.
She had a major fallout with her best friend Paris Hilton after their reality series "The Simple Life" ended, but now Nicole Richie reveals the strong bond between her and the hotel heiress still lives on.
In the February 2014 issue of Marie Claire Mexico magazine, the 32-year-old fashion designer discussed her friendship with Paris and shared details about her life since the cameras turned off.

Eh. I wear that combo pretty much every day, and I can't say I'm interested in replacing the shoes just for the sake of looking taller/more elongated. Partially because, no matter what anyone says, wedges are not comfortable for me. Also, I'm a college student - I'd get laughed out of the building if I tried to show up to class wearing a pair of wedges/heels in general. I'm already the odd one out for looking semi-presentable and not wearing yoga pants everywhere.

Yen doesn't speak great English. He's fluent in both Cantonese and Mandarin as well as a couple of other dialects but English? Not his strong suit. He's one of these Asian takeaway proprietors that Winston Peters has been wringing his hands over recently; a sign of how poorly we've handled our immigration policy. According to Peters, Yen is an example of the face we're about to suddenly wake up to and exclaim: "what on earth have we done?"
Actually, Yen is an example of a lot more than that. Like many of the Asian shop-owners in the Mt Roskill district he works seven days a week, from mid-morning until late. He's devoted to his wife; they've been married for 30 years and their three children are all at university, performing well. Yen is house proud and a stickler for maintenance; he washes his car twice a week. His shop is always spotless; his smile is always ready.
Jack runs the nearby dairy. His name isn't really Jack but he was persuaded to change it to an Anglo handle for convenience and business purposes. It makes me sad that he feels the need to do that but doubtless Peters would approve. Jack works from 7am to 7pm, seven days a week, mostly on his own. His English isn't much chop but we all seem to get by. Like Yen, his biggest priorities are his wife, his kids and his business.
Then there's the wine shop. Used to be run by a bloke who hated Asians, Maori and Pacific Islanders in equal proportion. So fed up did he become about the lack of white faces that he packed up and sold the place. Where did he go? Ironically, to the North Shore. Now the shop's operated by a Chinese family who've transformed the business. They work hard, present a cheery disposition and (unlike Peters) try to get along with everyone else in the community.
The guys at the garage are middle-eastern. Their premises back onto ours and we share a common right of way. More polite, considerate or honest neighbours you'd be hard pressed to find. Once they prevented a break-in at our place by questioning a would-be burglar. Told us later they knew we were gone for the day and had become suspicious about the man's actions. In other words, they had our back. Good people, all of them, although they struggle a bit with their English.
The strangest part of Peters' take on "Asian" immigration? Just that, most of those Kiwis who support him will be of a right-wing political persuasion. Well, so is Yen. And Jack. The wine shop chaps probably more so. Most of them come from the "get tough on criminals" school of thought, they don't agree with the social welfare system and they adhere strongly to the principles of personal responsibility. Few would vote for Labour or the Greens.
Peters, you'll recall, was aghast at the number of foreign language advertising signs with no English translation on shops, especially along Dominion Rd. His real gripe, though, was the proliferation of ethnic eateries in the area. It's a shame he feels like that. Whether or not you're a connoisseur of the various cuisines, it's a part of Auckland that's hard not to love. The people are friendly and welcoming, the shops are diverse; the buzz distinctly cosmopolitan.
Yes, the Dominion Rd-Mt Roskill retail area might look a bit scary to Peters (and those with similarly stunted outlooks). But far from it being an example of what's wrong with this city, don't you think it's an example of what's good about it? I mean, people can still flee to their gated, white enclaves if they so wish; they can lie awake at night and worry about the bogeyman. But a real community? Who would want to live anywhere else?

Pity the other minority ethnnic groups couldn't get off their collective fat backsides and do something for themselves instead of bludging off the taxpayer all the time.
Wondering why that ACT donor did not support NZ First instead? This is how I see it. A generation who went through an education system which did not encourage questioning and that also taught that the European race was superior. How sad they feel threatened by a bit of cultural colour in our city.
"Peters, you'll recall, was aghast at the number of foreign language advertising signs with no English translation on shops, especially along Dominion Rd. His real gripe, though, was the proliferation of ethnic eateries in the area. "
Can you please explain where Winston said his real gripe was the proliferation of ethnic eateries in the area?
Did he say that or did you just make up that his issue wasn't with non-multicultural signs (a sign in only one language can't be multi-cultural), If we are stating what we think Winston really means as fact then I think you will find Winston is saying we should align our immigration policies closer to those of the Asian nations many of these hard working individuals come from, and if you think that makes Winston a racist then obviously you think our hard working Asian immigrants come from racist nations.
I agree with you mostly. Though I do worry about Asian immigration to the degree that it does change what I value about NZ. As you say the people that you spoke to on Dominion Road do not value the environment or social welfare, they come from countries that do not value these things. And as more and more NZ'er leave & are replaced by these immigrants what happens to NZ then?
david #3 winston specifically complained about the number of eateries. he even exaggerated that number, as you can see in this tv3 story: http://www.3news.co.nz/Winston-Take-away-Dom-Rds-Asian-takeaways/tabid/1607/articleID/254653/Default.aspx will await your apology.
lou #1: keep that up, lou, and you'll qualify as louis crimp's right-hand man... :)
I don't advocate not learning (or more importantly, using) English. I know of an elderly woman who came to NZ from overseas, and never integrated into English speaking society. She brought up children, who can speak English. But she needs assistance for everything. She can't go to the bank or doctor, without needing an interpreter. This is 50 years on from arriving in NZ.
Good article Richard. The reality is that immigration has altered the cultural landscape, but in places like Roskill, signs of diversity have in fact become a point of local pride. Twenty years ago he may have hit a chord, but for most people now a sign in a different language is just a non-issue. Lou - I think you may have missed the point.
Winston, of course, is pandering to his electorate: grumpy old white people. They are suspicious of anything they deem "foreign", including physical appearance, dress and cuisine. Personally, I love the ethnic diversity of today's Auckland. I enjoy making curries and always shop for ingredients in Sandringham, where the smell of spices wafts from the shops, and the staff are invariably friendly and helpful. We are enriched by such experiences, and I'm old enough to recall how dull our suburbs were back in the 1960s.

"Archaeology is the search for fact. Not truth. If it's truth you're interested in, Doctor Tyree's Philosophy class is right down the hall." ~ Indiana Jones
When I subscribe to magazines which focus on Civil War history, I really don't want to read "preachy" styled articles emphasizing a morality play regarding the Civil War: "North good, South bad" and "get your mind right you nasty neo-Confederate", blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Most of these faddish pieces are more about the author and who he/she is trying to impress (or perhaps rid themselves of their own peer-induced guilt), than they are about anything else. When I read some of these articles and magazines, I often feel like I'm being lectured to by a Sunday school teacher - and a very misinformed one at that. Quite frankly, I'm sick of it and I'm voting with my wallet.

GO Markets - FX Market Commentary
A surge in commodities, metals and energies forced the greenback southbound overnight, with a seemingly dovish economic outlook in the FOMC minutes keeping the Dollar on the downward trajectory. The US dollar index which measures the dollar's value relative to six major foreign currencies fell 0.2 per cent to 77.47.
Economic indicators overnight saw the ADP Employment Change showed a cut of 84,000 jobs for the month of December against a predicted cut of 75,000 jobs, noteably this represents the smallest drop since March 2008. Earlier this week saw more positive jobs data from the US with new applicants for unemployment benefits falling to 432,000 for the week of December 26th, representing the lowest recorded since July 2008. The latest positivity on the jobs front could be seen as a precursor to Friday's Non-Farm payrolls which is predicated to show a drop in 1,000 payrolls, representing the smallest drop in 2 years. Overnight also saw the ISM Non-Manufacturing business conditions indicator for December came in at 50.1 falling short of the expected 50.5 - a reading above 50 indicates economic expansion.
Commodity currencies such as the Aussie, NZD and CAD are certainly in favour at the moment given the latest burst of energy from key commodities which may prove to be - at the very least - the stabilising factor for the near term. However another 'dollar positive' switch in sentiment can't be written off ahead of the all important Non-farm payrolls released on Friday. Local economic indicators today include Trade Balance figures and Retail sales which are expected to show growth of 0.4 per cent for the month of November. At the time of writing the Aussie is buying 91.95 US cents after hitting one month highs of 92.2 US cents overnight.

Thanks for your quick reply. I'm using BI Publisher 11g. Thanks for the documentation, I'm going to read it. Unfortunately, I do not have an account.
Many thanks.

I have read and almost done with the integration of P6 EPPM R8.2 to BI Publisher. However, I came across with this message "No data is available because your P6 user name is not valid for connecting to the reporting database".
Did I miss something? I have the user name from BIP to EPPM in order to match them and I have assigned the Roles & Permission, Run the services. What else?
Can you please help me to sort out this issue. Many thanks in advance.

4. Re: How to Integrate BI Publisher into P6 EPPM R8.2Sachin Gupta Nov 12, 2012 12:51 PM (in response to 717342)What is the security model you are using in BI Publisher? Is it "BI Publisher Security Model" or "Fusion Middleware Security Model". You should try with "BI Publisher Security Model".
Also try to start BI publisher first before starting the P6 (managed server on weblogic)
Are you able to run the reports from within BI publisher using the same user id?
Sachin Gupta
5. Re: How to Integrate BI Publisher into P6 EPPM R8.2717342 Nov 13, 2012 5:19 AM (in response to Sachin Gupta)Hi Sachin,
Thanks for the quick reply. The detailed are listed below:
1. I am using BI Publisher Security Model under Administration --> Security Configuration.
2. I have copy & paste the P6Reports from extracted EPPM. And it is in the BIP Home --> Browse/Manage…--> Catalog Folders
3. I have created a User as pxrptuser as Username & Password, and Assign Roles (e.g. BIP Administrator & P6Reports).
4. I have created a Role under Roles and Permission --> P6Reports, Add Roles (e.g. BIP Administrator & BIP Scheduler), Add Data Sources as P6SSRPT
The only thing I noticed is, when I tried to go to Home --> Catalog Folders, select P6Reports folder and click Permissions under Tasks, click + Add Roles Roles, search -->Move P6Reports --> OK and click OK, and I saw Uploading… then later when finished the process I noticed it Failed.
I think this is one of the reasons, but I am sure. Any helps.
Since, I am new in BI Publisher, may I know how to run a report within BI Publisher using my newly created user name & password?
Many thanks.

6. Re: How to Integrate BI Publisher into P6 EPPM R8.2Sachin Gupta Nov 14, 2012 4:55 AM (in response to 717342)In BI Publisher, navigate to Catalog and in the list of reports, click on the report to open it. Select the parameter and click apply. Check if that runs successfully and you see any data. This will help validate if your setting within BI Publisher is correct or not.
If the above works then you need to check the settings in P6 Administrator. Make appropriate changes and restart weblogic server.

What Is a Urine Calcium Test?
A urine calcium test is done to measure how much calcium is passed out of the body through urine. The test is also known as the urinary Ca+2 test.
Calcium is the most common mineral in the body. All cells throughout the body use calcium for various functions. Calcium is used by the body to build and repair bones and teeth. It also helps nerves, the heart, and muscles function properly, and blood to clot.
The majority of calcium in the body is stored in bones. The remainder is found in the blood.
When calcium levels in the blood get too low, the bones release enough calcium to bring the level in the blood back to normal. When calcium levels get too high, the surplus of calcium is either stored in bones or expelled from the body through your urine or stool.
How much calcium is in your body depends on the following factors:
- amount of calcium taken in from food
- amount of calcium and vitamin D absorbed through the intestines
- level of phosphate in the body
- certain hormone levels—such as estrogen, calcitonin, and parathyroid hormone
Most often, people who have high or low levels of calcium do not show any symptoms. Calcium levels need to be extremely high or extremely low to show symptoms.
Test Uses
Why Is the Urine Calcium Test Performed?
Reasons to perform a urine calcium test include:
- evaluating whether high calcium levels in the urine resulted in the development of a kidney stone
- evaluating whether your dietary intake of calcium is high enough
- evaluating how well your intestines are absorbing the calcium
- detecting conditions that lead to calcium loss from your bones
- evaluating how well your kidney is functioning
- looking for problems with the parathyroid gland
A blood calcium test is usually more accurate in detecting certain conditions like specific bone diseases, pancreatitis, and hyperparathyroidism.
Test Preparation
Preparation for the Urinary Calcium Test
In preparation for the urinary calcium test, your doctor may instruct you to stop taking medications that could affect the test results. In addition, your doctor may ask you to follow a diet with a specific level of calcium for several days leading up to the test.
If the urine sample is being collected from your infant, your child's doctor will provide special collection bags with instructions on how the urine should be collected.
How Is the Urine Calcium Test Performed?
A urine calcium test measures the amount of calcium in a sample taken from all the urine that is produced in a 24–hour period. The test lasts from the morning of one day to the morning of the next day.
These steps are usually followed for the urine test:
- On the first day, you urinate after awakening and do not save the urine.
- For the next 24 hours, you collect all subsequent urine in a container provided by a health professional.
- On day two, you urinate into the container after awakening.
- You then close the container and keep it refrigerated during the 24-hour collection period. Be sure to put your name on the container, as well as the date and time the test was completed.
- Return the sample as instructed by your doctor or other health professional.
There are no risks associated with the urine calcium test.
What Do the Test Results Mean?
Normal Results
The amount of calcium in the urine of a person eating a normal diet is 100 to 300 mg/day*. A diet that is low in calcium results in 50 to 150 mg/day of calcium in the urine.
*mg/day = milligrams per day
Abnormal Results
If calcium levels in the urine are abnormally high, it may be a sign of:
- hyperparathyroidism—the parathyroid gland produces too much parathyroid hormone. Some symptoms are: fatigue, back pain, and sore bones
- milk-alkali syndrome—a condition that results from taking too much calcium. It is usually seen in older women who take calcium to prevent osteoporosis
- idiopathic hypercalciuria—too much calcium in your urine without a reason
- sarcoidosis—a disease in which inflammation occurs in the lymph nodes, lungs, liver, eyes, skin, or other tissues
- renal tubular acidosis—high acid levels in the blood because the kidneys do not make the urine acidic enough
- vitamin D intoxication—too much vitamin D in your body
- use of loop diuretics—A type of water pill that works on one part of the kidney to increase water loss by the kidney
- renal failure—kidney failure
If calcium levels in the urine are abnormally low it may be a sign of:
- malabsorption disorders—such as vomiting or diarrhea because the food nutrients have not been properly digested
- vitamin D deficiency
- hypoparathyroidism—a disease in which the parathyroid does not produce enough of a hormone to keep the calcium and phosphorus levels at proper levels
- use of thiazide diuretics

Why don't we go get a beer and we can have what the kids are calling a sausage fest?
|— Pierce
|Pierce and Jeff first meet at the study group's first study session where the elder member bungles the introductions for the rest of the attendees. The two settle into a slightly antagonistic relationship as Pierce obvious envy of Jeff causes friction between them. Jeff tries to tolerate his attitude but is annoyed by Pierce's contradictory attempts to obnoxiously insult him (usually questioning Jeff's sexual orientation) while also trying desperately to become his best friend. This dynamic has put a lot of strain on their relationship but on occasion the two will find some common ground. Pierce has shown to be a good sounding board and almost mentor for Jeff. Both see a bit of each other in themselves; Pierce sees the swagger he had when he was younger, Jeff sees who he might become when he is older if he's not careful. Jeff portrayed by Joel McHale, and Pierce is portrayed by Chevy Chase. Their first appearance together was in the Season One episode Pilot.
Pairing historyEdit
Season OneEdit
|What the hell is wrong with you?!
|I don't like being excluded Jeff, do you?!
–Pierce, "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons"
Season TwoEdit
Pierce and Jeff's second year together with the study group sees their relationship becoming more strained. Throughout the year he feels disrespected by the study group and Jeff starts excluding Pierce deliberately from other group activities which results in a growing animosity between the two. While at the hospital dealing with a drug overdose, he fakes that he is on his death bed and bequeaths items to the study group to mess with their minds. Later, the two take a Wine Tasting course together and Jeff is shocked when he is rejected by a beautiful classmate named Wu Mei and Pierce successfully woos and becomes engaged to her. Sometime near the end of the year, the study group at Jeff's behest holds a secret meeting to determine whether or not Pierce would be allowed to return to the group for the next semester. This comes to light during the 2011 Paintball Assassin game. At Pierce hideout, the study group confronted Pierce after he betrayed Jeff by giving him a paintball pistol full of blanks. Pierce and Annie had a one on one paintball pistol duel over the matter. Pierce faked a heart attack, eliminated the Black Rider and retreated during the chaos declaring that he quit the study group. After the game escalated into a full on war between the remaining Greendale students and the invading City College Storm Troopers led by Dean Spreck, Pierce surprisingly wins the competition and the prize money of $100,000. Although he generously gives the money to Greendale for repairs he adamantly refuses to return to the study group even after Jeff tries to welcome him back.
Significant episodes:
"The Psychology of Letting Go": Jeff tries to prove Pierce's religion is a fraud by attempting to force him to deal with his mother's death.
"Early 21st Century Romanticism": Jeff chooses to ignore the warning signs that Pierce is overdosing on his pain medication.
"Intermediate Documentary Filmmaking": Faking that he is on his death bed, Pierce orchestrates revenge on the study group for disrespecting him by playing mind games with them and tells Jeff he has located his father William Winger.
"Competitive Wine Tasting": Jeff is shocked when a beautiful woman he hits on in wine class chooses Pierce over him.
"A Fistful of Paintballs": In a flashback to events prior to the paintball competition it's shown that Jeff and the study group voted on whether or not Pierce would be allowed to return to the group the next semester.
"For A Few Paintballs More": Pierce emerges the victor of the paintball war winning the prize money for Greendale. Jeff and the rest of the study group offer to forgive his previous actions and let him back into the group but he refuses saying he is done with them.
|Yeah, we have parted ways with our oldest, craziest, most racist, oldest, elderly, crazy friend...and he's not coming back
|I'm back!
–Pierce, "Biology 101"
Season ThreeEdit
Pierce returns to the study group angering Jeff who believes his absence will make the third year at Greendale much better. After Jeff is ejected from the Biology class the group is taking he ends up being split off from the group. After accidentally inhaling monkey gas, Jeff goes crazy and attacks the study table. Pierce decides to cover for his behavior explaining to Jeff that he seemed to be having a harder time dealing with being excluded from the group. The two make peace and settle into a less antagonistic dynamic. Jeff decides to force Pierce to deal with his overbearing father Cornelius Hawthorne and later confronts the elder Hawthorne ostensibly on Pierce's behalf although it's clear he is working out his own daddy issues. Towards the end of the semester, Jeff and the study group help Pierce win his inheritance by playing a video game. Along with the rest of the group they are expelled for causing a riot in the cafeteria during Star-Burns wake. Together they help to overthrow Chang's regime at Greendale by taking part in an elaborate heist. During the summer time, Jeff finds himself in Greendale court representing Shirley in a case against Pierce with his attorney Alan. The conflict arose due to a business contract Shirley and Pierce were offered by Greendale for Shirley's Sandwiches shop which only required one of their signatures. A patented Winger speech resolved the situation and Jeff was named as Pierce and Shirley's representative and authorized to sign the document in their names.
Significant episodes:
"Biology 101": Pierce returns to the group just as Jeff becomes excluded from them.
"Advanced Gay": Jeff confronts Cornelius Hawthorne on Pierce's behalf and accidentally causes his death. Pierce later hands Jeff his father's ivory toupee as Cornelius' will stated whoever killed him would receive it.
"Digital Estate Planning": Jeff and the study group agree to play a video game to help Pierce win his inheritance.
"First Chang Dynasty": Jeff and the study group attempt to overthrow Chang's regime at Greendale; as part of the plan, Jeff has Pierce do his Swami impression to serve as a diversion.
"Introduction to Finality": In the Greendale Court, Jeff ends up representing Shirley against Pierce and his attorney Alan over ownership rights of Shirley's Sandwiches
|I cant believe I'm about to say this. The only reason he can be unpleasant is because we expect him to be. If we don't treat him like such a dick, well he'll probably still be one 98% of the time, but the 2% he's tolerable it might be worth it.
–Jeff, "Economics of Marine Biology
Season FourEdit
Pierce and Jeff's fourth year together along with the study group sees them failing to get into the History of Ice Cream class and having to take a history course with Professor Cornwallis. During Halloween, Pierce calls the Jeff and the study group to rescue him as he trapped himself inside his mansions panic room. Pierce later invites Jeff to join him at his barber shop for a shave. Although he was only there to distract Pierce from a rich student that was being pursued by Greendale, Jeff finds himself enjoying the time he spent there with Pierce.
Significant episodes:
"Paranormal Parentage": Pierce plays another elaborate prank on the study group making it seem as if his mansion was haunted.
"Economics of Marine Biology": Pierce invites Jeff to his barber shop where the two start to bond.
"Advanced Introduction to Finality": After thirteen years at Greendale , Pierce finally decides to graduate from college in order to do it before Jeff does.

Also, this remarkable, burgundy mid-wedge shoe from the Tory Burch.
And, their own house brand, the Daniel shoes are very much worthy of your attention.]]>
I became intrigued by espadrilles when I visited Cuba, a number of years ago.
There to experience the island's university system, I spent an evening at the Hotel Armadores de Santander, a grand hotel in old Havana. In the morning, I opened the French doors that led to a pink-tiled deck overlooking the Malecón.
A previous guest had forgotten—or left behind—her sky-blue espadrilles; they sat contentedly under a table, all sun-and-salt-water bleached beauty.
What was so appealing about this humble mix of cotton canvas and jute? Exactly that: the simplicity of design, the thoughtful color, and the fact that the espadrilles had been much loved (or much worn, at the least; they were abandoned).
This spring, designers have been in a flurry as they reimagine the classic espadrille, with looks that range from pretty to the truly eccentric.
Here's the "Tahiti espadrille pump" from Dior, which seems to be a fancy drink umbrella and shoe all in one;
The "cage" espadrille by Yves Saint Laurent;
Lanvin's ballet-inspired "French" espadrille, in satin;
Kate Spade's "Lido," which conjures happy visions of bathing huts at the beach, or perhaps the stripes on Tadzio's sweater in Death in Venice;
Tory Burch's version, with her ubiquitous logo. If I could coin a portmanteau, I might call it toobiquitous;
Ralph Lauren's winning platform ankle wrap in a neutral tobacco;
a classic picnic-blanket version from Castaner, the Spanish company that has been making espadrilles since 1927;
the Tamariu tie espadrilles, worn to spectacular effect by Penelope Cruz in Volver (remember the from-the-beneath-the-bed shot?);
and this curious inclusion from Bergdorf Goodman's website. Made by Prada, this "espadrille" reflects neither the traditional espadrille materials nor design. I call it the "ugly 'drille-ing." (It's more macaw than swan, though.)
My favorite espadrille remains the classic model, made in either Spain or France, without embellishment—the kind that can be kicked off at the beach or worn in town.
Which model would gentle readers choose as the winner of their "Espy" award?]]>
Spring is about to beat down my front door, and I don't have a single pair of shoes to greet the sunshine.
Okay, that's not exactly true, but here is the truth: I haven't purchased any shoes for the spring/summer 2011 season. I've seen plenty of things I love on the runway and in department stores but pricing is prohibitive if I don't want to live on Ramen noodles. For the sake of my sanity and my health, I've taken some time to identify shape and color trends I love and find lower cost alternatives (read: $200 and under) that not only reflect the trends but are fabulous too.
Shapes: Clogs, Kitten Heels and Wedges
The high-heel clog is a spring shape I love, and if you missed it last year it's back again. Clogs are an easy shape to wear and they make legs look great. These BCBG Broma clogs in Red Berry ($77.00 at macys.com) are are sexy and adorable at the same time. They've got a peep toe to show off that fabulous pedicure, a super-high heel, stud details and a flower. And the color will set off all of your spring neutrals and whites.
After a long hiatus, kitten heels have returned. While I haven't seen an overwhelming response to this demure style of shoe, it's perfect for work yet still looks casual and weather appropriate when you step out of an air-conditioned office. The Pipa from AK Anne Klein ($69 at Zappos.com) is a lovely example of the trend and one I'd like to have in my closet.
The wedge is another style that was big last year and is going to be big again this year. The wedge with an espadrille look was a runway favorite, and Tory Burch's "Contrast" ($165 at bloomingales.com) has caught my fancy. The Earth Khaki color mixes a great greenish-brown with black, making it easy to wear with so many things (and my wardrobe has plenty of black). The rope covered wedge is gorgeous and a super contrast to the black.
Colors: Neutrals, Metallics and Color Blocking
Go on any shoe website and I guarantee you the first thing you will see in a banner is "NEW NEUTRALS" or something similar. Neutral shoes provide the perfect balance for a loud floral dress or ground a black skirt without being heavy. There is so much neutral to choose from out there that I had a hard time picking one shoe. I finally settled on the gorgeous Withey from Aldo in bone ($80 at aldoshoes.com). The shoes have a patent finish, a must this season, an open toe and a high covered heel. Neutral? Yes. Boring? Absolutely not.
The metallic shoe is another ubquitous look this season. A sexy metallic braided shootie-style sandal? A necessity! Vince Camuto's Adita sandal in new gold ($129 at vincecamuto.com) has a shootie shape with an open toe and heel. The vamp is covered in braid and the heel is stacked. Another way to describe these shoes? Hot.
The spring runways were awash in color…color blocking, that is. The Nine West Stylin ($89 at ninewest.com) an excellent example of a color blocked shoe. The pops of color along with the thick heel and easy platform make this a great casual shoe.
I'm off to shop for some new shoes!]]>
Yes, the Jenny by La Canadienne is the marvelous everyday boot for the months of poor weather, and it certainly fits the requirements of the question, but it is, to the mind of the Manolo, perhaps too plain to be truly and absolutely super fantastic. Therefore, please allow the Manolo to make the few additional recommendations…
Here is the Cookie from Aquatalia by Marvin K., the suitable weatherproof alternative to the La Canadienne boots.
However, for those who wish to violate their self-imposed fashion austerity with the little bit of designer bling…
The Donovan Logo Boot by Tory Burch.
Of the course, if our besotted suitor wishes to be the super fantastic super hero in the heart of his beloved, he will completely ignore her demurrals and offer to her these…
The Miss Tack Botta 85 Tall Boot by Christian Louboutin.]]>
Manolo says, here is the stylish Tory Burch Blondie flat sandal, perhaps the last final gasp of gladiatorism, on the deeply discounted sale, over 50% off of the normal price.]]>
Manolo says, it is Tuesday, do you know where your Tory Burch Velvet Bria Pumps are? On the feets or in the closet are the only acceptable answers.
By the way, it is the bamboo heel that makes this shoe more than the sum of its very charming parts.]]>
Manolo says, here are the fun and colorful Tory Burch t-strap sandals for your Thursday afternoon enjoyment. Before you know it, summer will be here, and you will want colorful flat sandals that make you feel happy, and these they are emphatically cheerful.]]>

Learning the wrong lessons from a century of advertising
Posted by Site Administrator on January 22, 2009

Posted by Barry Parr
Shortly after ranting that media properties to start thinking bigger and stranger if they're going to succeed, I came across Jeff Jarvis's spot-on analysis of why print advertising was never the right model for online success and the variety of opportunities that exist for media properties to improve their top and bottom lines.
Jeff says that print advertising worked as a business because there was a limited supply of space. But it also worked as a business because it was staggeringly inefficient. A Realtor had to buy access to a million readers to reach to two dozen who were looking for a neighborhood open house. That model has been broken for at least five years.
He has some great suggestions for new kinds of businesses for media companies. You should read his whole list, but here are my takes on some of them:
- Empowering new advertisers and partners: Google and eBay have empowered genuinely new businesses. Look beyond your traditional customers for new business opportunities. One reason that Google and eBay have succeeded at this is that they've made it possible for their customers to serve themselves, and consquently they've driven the price lower by orders of magnitude.
- Offering new services to marketers: The Houston Chronicle is doing this today. Their goal is to be the digital agency for their community.
- Creating content and advertising networks to reduce costs and increase revenues: I've been writing about this for more than a year and I don't believe we've scratched surface of the opportunities and threats created by networked media.
- Getting into new lines of business: Should local media get into the real estate business? Now is exactly the right time to get into a business that has been dominated by a cartel. Even if newspapers survive the coming storm, do they really think that their real estate advertisers will return? Really?
The bad news is that nearly all initiatives will fail and only a few will prosper. And you can't wait around until it becomes obvious what's going to work. Once you notice someone having success, he's going to be difficult to unseat in the market he created. To succeed in the current chaosm, you must experiment, keep costs low, watch what others are doing, and take a portfolio approach to innovation management.

Paris is known as one of Europe's "greenest" cities, having more than 400 parks and gardens scattered throughout its urbanscape. If you are lucky enough to visit Paris with your children in the fall, when tourist crowds thin while the weather still welcomes one and all for strolls through the falling leaves, you won't want to miss your chance to explore a few of these garden treasures. In today's guest post, Parisian mother Karen Bras, owner of 2 Kids 1 Bag baby gear rentals serving Paris and the Ile de France, shares with us her three favorite autumn outings in Paris with little kids.
In between the many monuments you no doubt plan to visit in Paris, plan time to explore some Parisian gardens. During fall, it will give you the opportunity to share with your family the light and the color of the trees, the fun of walking or jumping in crisp leaves–and don't forget to bring a bag for collecting chestnuts with your kids! Here are 3 gardens that I personally like for their locations and family-friendly highlights.
1. Near the Champ de Mars garden (located between the Eiffel Tower and the Ecole Militaire), after a pleasant 15 minute walk, you will find a typical Parisian street (with almost no cars) called "rue Cler". All food shops are here : cheese, delicatessen, pastries, bread, hot chocolate … which you can share with your children and take away…. After all this walking in the leaves, pamper yourself with a delicious crêpe at the Ulysse shop (I admit I like the Nutella one) or icecream in the Martine Lambert shop (my favourite flavours : melon and bitter orange).
Details on http://en.parisinfo.com/museum-monuments/1263/parc-du-champ-de-mars?1
2. Inside the Luxembourg Garden (Saint-Germain-des-Prés area), you will find a place where everything is made for parents and kids. The choice of activities is very large: puppets (in French, and for children aged 2 and older), a recreational park for 7 and older … You will also see some petanque and tennis players.
What I specially appreciate (and my kids too , 2 and 5 year old) is the model yacht you can hire to make it sail in the large artificial pond. The model yatch must be pushed thanks to a wooden stick and then have fun racing around the pond to get back it. A real entertaining time for the whole family!
Details on http://en.parisinfo.com/museum-monuments/1241/jardin-du-luxembourg-?1
3. Inside the Jardin des Plantes (Quartier Latin district), you'll find the principal botanical garden of France, with much to explore outdoors and also indoors. While there, you can visit the Menagerie (equivalent to a zoo) with around 1,000 animals and among the most impressive: orangutans, crocodiles, panthers, huge tortoises,and pink flamingos. Created in 1794 as part of the royal gardens, this menagerie is one of the oldest zoos in the world!

Very interesting article. I think it is useful for many. Thank you for this articles.
These are great kid-friendly spots. The puppet shows at Champ de Mars are indeed am awesome attraction for kids and get to meet other kids as well.
Thanks a lot for your comments on this post. It has been a pleasure to prepare this post with Shelly.
Here is a useful link with the time for puppets in Paris and the number phone http://www.parisparis.com/fr/enfant/marionnettes1.html
I hope that the next time you will enjoy it.
The Luxembourg Garden is one of the reasons why people should visit Paris. The pool in front of the place is really lovely. The pink flamingos prove that nature produces the most beautiful things on Earth.
We were hoping to see the puppet shows at Champ de Mars, but we must have been her on the wrong day. The kids enjoyed the vast park with lots of grass to chase the birds. My kids enjoyed climbing the tower and choosing treats at the bakeries.
I totaly agree that those spots are sure to please any child – or adult too! Our favorite was also the Jardin d'acclimation amusement park. It had so much to offer us this summer – and seems like a great place for every other season too!

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) announced on Monday that it has banned all telecom operators from engaging in promotions and other lotteries.
According to the Commission's Director of Public Affairs, Tony Ojobo, the move is in response to the prevailing poor service being experienced by subscribers across the country.
Recall that the Commission fined the four major telcos a combined sum of N1.17 billion in May 2012 for failure to meet the minimum standard of Quality of Service (QoS), even threatening to shut down their offices over non-payment.
In response, the mobile operators unreservedly apologised to customers for the disappointment and inconvenience caused further citing four major challenges they face as operators (including terrorist attacks on facilities) which has resulted in a lapse or failure to deliver the requisite level of quality of service to its customers.
Yet, the quality of service problems have persisted prompting the Commission to take a new approach. The ban takes immediate effect "until such a time as may be determined by the Commission" and cuts across all proposed and approved promotions, says the telecoms regulator.
This news comes at a time when scammers are potentially conning promo-loving Nigerians into winning tens of thousands of money in exchange for a few thousands of money.
It is expected that this move by the NCC would enable the telecom operators to focus on their core business which is and has always been to satisfy their customers with improved quality of service and excellent customer support, not lottery programmes, disguised as promos.

White Mesa OverviewI know I should post these photos on Mountain biking site, but I do not want to create another account, and these trails are also popular with runners and hikers. I did run there in the past, and this was my 3rd time mountain biking here. Today, was a little bit different - it was after a big rain (so unusual in New Mexico). The access dirt road had some huge puddles making it difficult to access. 4 WD cars with high clearance should not have any problems.
Some sections of the trails were flooded, about 1/3 was through a deep mud, but it was fun. And the best part, the whole area was just mine - I met no other people, which is a little bit unusual for a weekend day, and the proximity to Albuquerque (only about 40 min drive).

Since some of you have expressed interest in my skin routine, I've decided to make another video! I think I'm gettting the hang of this video editing business. My videos should be coming out in a better quality now.
In relation to this video, here are some of the reviews I did for some of the products mentioned:
- Mandom Cleansing Express Lotion
- Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque
Someone had mentioned on YouTube though that my links weren't working???? Can someone verify it for me? It works on my end and on my friend's laptop last night. But I just want to double check.
Question: What's you're nighttime routine?
Anyway, thank God it's Friday!

"Loved my daughters 1st bday invites. The designs provided were excellent. I appreciated the sophisticated yet whimsical choices. As always, the print & paper quality was top of the line. Lastly, love that you provide a designer review! We will not shop anywhere else."
"Ordered these for our daughters first birthday. They came earlier than expected! They are absolutely adorable. High quality paper and print. They could be mistaken for a boutique quality or high end "custom" invites. I am very picky so ordering these without seeing and feeling them made me nervous but for the price I decided to take a risk. WELL WORTH IT. If you like the design and are hesitating like I was, DONT be! :-) Just order them --you won't be disappointed."
"This card looks absolutely stunning! I ordered with the pearl look and I cannot be happier. The design goes great with my vintage chic theme. Thank you Tiny Prints!"
"I am very happy with how my daughters first birthday invitation was printed! I was even able to call Tiny Prints after my order was placed online, and change some text on the card. It was printed perfectly, on very nice, thick paper. Even the envelopes that come with the product are nice and elegant. I will order from Tiny Prints again, and I would recommend Tiny Prints products to all my friends!"
"I ordered this print for my daughter's first birthday. I was very pleased with the final product once it arrived. I'm glad the description let me know the gold glittery design on the bottom was not actually glitter, which I preffered anyways, because real glitter can get messy. This is not the first time I have ordered prints from this company. I love them and will difinately order prints for my future occations. They are awesome."

Comments about Spirit Halloween Adult Super Skins® Blue Zentai Skin Suit Costume:
When we received the product there was a hole in the foot, but it was just where the seam was so I'm sewing it up; although, I shouldn't have to, but don't want to deal with having to return it and get another costume. It is extremely thin and leaves very little to the imagination. Very hard to put anything under the suit to keep warm if it's cold out.

Let the street children through
In 1963, Julia Trevelyan Oman beginning making a name for herself as a set designer for BBC television, but was finding the job rather uninteresting. Armed with a camera she took to the streets of the Clapham Junction and took candid photographs of the working-class and immigrant children that lived there. She had the idea for a book, but didn't know anyone that could write captions for it. When she showed the pictures to Richard Sadler at Constable, he connected her with B. S. Johnson. Little did she know what she was in for.
Oman wanted her book to be titled "Pavement Children." Johnson insisted on it being called Street Children. Guess who won. Not content with merely captioning the photographs in a standard, factual way, Johnson insisted that he knew exactly how each of the children felt because he too knew what it was like to grow up in the streets. The results of his work are astounding. Johnson enters the headspace of each child photographed and brings their inner thoughts to life. Some are touching, some are hilarious, some are downright tragic.[1]
Since this title is way out of print I've taken the liberty of reproducing several pages from it here to illustrate Johnson's knack for building a unique narrative from visuals and his sharp wit. Click on any image for a larger view.
Why is this book out of print? Your guess is as good as mine. While many of Johnson's novels have been repackaged and republished over the years, his poems and various other collections remain difficult to track down, but yet continually reveal themselves to be well worth the effort involved.

" Brand: Disney / For Girls / Type: Top & Skirt "
Disney Minnie Mouse Clubhouse 2 Piece Outfit
My little girl is only young though already she has a wardrobe to shame the celebrities! I do admit, though, as children grow out of their clothes so fast (or ruin them before they have the chance to grow out of them!), on top of the expense these days, we do like to hunt online for discounts. I took a look online and found that this set seems to average between £16 to £18, though we managed to pick it up brand new from Ebay for £5.00 which was an amazing bargain!
The set consists of a vest style top and denim skirt.
To top is mainly white with lovely yellow edging around the neckline and arm holes. This edging is slightly frilled taking the whole look to a new height. The main image is on the centre of the top and is of Minnie Mouse complete with a lovely red and white polka-dotted bow. Minnie's name is underneath the picture finishing off the front of the top lovely. There is also a white and pale yellow daisy on one 'sleeve'.
The skirt, although not the same design, goes well with the top. It is a soft, thin blue denim with a straight top part and a frilly bottom part to it, giving it a lovely shape. There is an adjustable waist to it, though I find it difficult to adjust properly. To add to the waist, the back is also elasticated which is great for my little ones little belly! There is a little yellow button on the front of the waist with a spare button in case you need it, though the button is firmly attached ho fingers crossed you will not need the spare one! There are two pockets either side of the skirt which are of a decent size for little ones to keep tissues and such like, and a further two on the back, decorated with lovely daisies which match the one on the top. There is also a lovely little red butterfly on one side of the skirt.
Washing the set is not a problem, and this set has been through the washing machine a couple of times and still looks good as new.
The material and make of both the top and skirt is excellent, and even at the top price, it is well worth purchasing, though I am glad we bought it for less as a bargain is always so much better!
Well recommended!
My daughter was bought this outfit recently for her 3rd Birthday.
She's a huge Minnie fan, so was thrilled when she opened the package.
The set is made up of a sleeveless t-shirt and matching denim skirt.
The t-shirt is made of a soft white cotton. Around the neck and arm holes it has a thick yellow frill. On one shoulder is an appliqued daisy. On the front of the t-shirt, right in the middle is another appliqued picture of Minnie Mouse's face, with her name embroidered underneath. The overall design is really cute but funky for a 3 year old!
The skirt is made of a thin denim and has one ra-ra style frill at the bottom. The waistband is adjustable - it has elastic on the inside that can be adjusted with a button at either end. At the front of the skirt is a button fastening that is in the style of a yellow daisy. There is also a spare button attached to the care label on the inside of the skirt.
The skirt has jeans style pockets both at the front and on the back. They are real pockets and not just false stitched ones. The back pockets have big daisys embroidered on them.
At the front of the skirt there is a large red butterfly appliqued on one hip.
This set can be washed at 40 degrees but cannot be tumble dried
I have always found the quality of the Disney Store clothing to be good. The clothes both wash and wear well. Many of the outfits my eldest child has worn have been fine to hand down to younger siblings even after a lot of wear.
This set costs around £18, which is a little pricey, however it looks so cute on my daughter and really makes her stand out from the crowd, so in my eyes it's worth every penny.
This would make a gorgeous gift for any little Minnie fan.
I bought this outfit for my niece and was very pleased with it.
It is a 2 piece outfit from the Disney store and cost me £18. It consists of a vest top and denim skirt.
The vest top is made of 100% cotton and feels soft to the touch. It is white and has a big image of a smiling minnie mouse printed on the front. There is a butterfly next to her and her name is underneath. There are yellow ruffles around the neckline and sleeve edges and also a big daisy on the left strap.
With the top you have the option of having the childs name embellished on it. I got this for my niece and it cost me an extra £3.50 which I thought was quite reasonable. It took a few extra days to be delivered but it was worth it as they have done a good job.
The skirt is made from denim but is lovely and soft, not hard like some childrens denim. There is a skirt lining that is made from 80% polester and 20% cotton. The skirt has a layered hem which is lined with a purple fabric, it has a yellow flower for a button and another butterfly printed on the pocket.
The outfit is machine washable at 30 and the sizing comes in at 0-3, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12 months.
I was very pleased with this purchase, both pieces fit her very well. Usually I find in 2 pieces outfits that the child will grow out of the bottoms before the top but there is plenty of room for growth with the skirt. The skirt is also a good length. I got the 3-6 months for my niece ( she is 4 months) and the skirt comes to below her knees so will hopefully last her for a while!
The entire outfit is very well made and my niece has had lots of compliments whilst wearing it!

Australia's oldest school
Largs Public School, near Maitland, is the oldest continuously operating school in Australia with many of its original students having descendants still attending.
Largs principal Sharon Palmer said the school had been in operation since 1838, but officially became a public school in January 1849.
"I think it started as a church school and then became a public school after the Board of National Education was established in 1848," Ms Palmer said.
"It's a fabulous school and we have a great sense of community. There are many tales of the past to be told - mostly about the cane and being crammed into one classroom."
The small school has 40 students - many of whom had their grandparents, and great grandparents attend the school.
Ms Palmer said it was originally called Dunmore, but changed its name in 1892.
"However over the years visitors from Largs in Scotland have visited, bringing gifts from the much bigger school," Ms Palmer said.
On the school site there is an Old Bush Hut which has an area set up like an old classroom with ink wells and a cane. The other half of the hut is a mini-museum with a lot of memorabilia.
Ms Palmer said the school was proud of its history, but there was "sometimes a bit of a blur between fact and fiction".
"Some people swear the Old Bush Hut used to be a classroom, which is why we have set it up as such, but I somehow doubt it. What I do know is the school has a very bright future ahead.
"As we say at Largs, small schools are great schools."
Then and now
1849 - there were 15 government schools; in 2007 there were 2200.
1851 - an average 100 students was considered the maximum for a one-teacher school; in 2006 the average size of primary classes was 24.6 students.
1848 - the Board of National Education recommended school fees should range from one penny to one shilling per week, with the local school board to set the rate.
1906 - primary school fees were abolished.
1925 - high school fees were abolished.
1995 - voluntary contributions were introduced to enable parents and guardians to enhance educational and sporting school programs.
1880 - school attendance was compulsory for children between six and 14 for a period of not less than 70 days each half year.
2010 - the school leaving age was raised to 17 unless the student had already completed the School Certificate or was in paid employment, or a combination of training and paid work.

The Pro Vs. The Rookie (Jimerson Vs Ghurani)
Hello everyone! First and foremost, my surgery date (06/06/2013) is something I just made up. I am having a really hard time choosing between Dr. Andrew Jimerson and Dr. Rami Ghurani.

Wild crush Oilers 4-1 in St. Paul
By: Kate Butler | KFAN.com
After being shut out 3-0 on their home ice just two days ago, the Wild were back in action tonight in
Darcy Kuemper was back between the pipes for the Wild tonight, stopping 20 of the 21 shots he faced. While Kuemper faced fewer shots than he did on Tuesday, he seemed to have some more help from his defense tonight.
Stemming from a beautiful, behind-the-net play from Granlund, Jason Pominville, on the backhand, threw the puck up past a sprawled-out Ben Scrivens to put the Wild on the board. The goal was followed by a little scuffle involving Veilleux and Ryan Jones, which resulted in five minute penalties for both players.
At just into the second period,
"We gave up a lot of opportunities there in the second, and we did bend but we didn't break," Nate Prosser, the game-winning goal scorer, said of his team in a post-game interview.
The final period of regulation opened with the Wild ahead by a score of 3-1. That changed off the opening faceoff of the period with a goal from birthday boy, Jason Zucker. The goal came at just eight seconds into the period, making it a 4-1 game. Through the rest of the game, the Wild were able to keep the Oilers at bay, snapping their two-game losing streak and closing out the game 4-1.

Ronald Dee "Ron" White (born December 18, 1956) is an American stand up comedian and actor, best known as a charter member of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. Nicknamed "Tater Salad", he is the author of the book I Had the Right to Remain Silent But I Didn't Have the Ability (Dutton 2006, ISBN 978-0-525-94961-9), which appeared on the New York Times best seller list.
Ronald Dee White was born on December 18, 1956 in Fritch, Texas, to Charles Don White and Barbara Joan Craig.[1]
White served in the United States Navy. According to his own account, White joined the service at age 17 and served on the auxiliary rescue and salvage ship USS Conserver near the end of the Vietnam War.[2] He is an avid fisherman (and has always loved fishing as a hobby) but from a young age his dream was to become a comedian. He lived in Mexico for a brief period and bought a pottery factory there[3] before returning to the U.S. to pursue comedy. He included stories from his youth in his book I Had the Right to Remain Silent But I Didn't Have the Ability.
From January 2000 through March 2003, White toured with Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, and Larry the Cable Guy as part of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour – a show that sold out across the United States in over 90 cities and grossed over $15 million.[4] He made seven guest appearances on Blue Collar TV. In 2005, The WB Television Network aired the pilot for The Ron White Show, a variety show that combined a number of celebrity cameos, cartoons, and sketches. He taped several episodes of The Gong Show with Dave Attell as one of the celebrity judges. White has appeared in the TV shows Kath & Kim, Reno 911!, 12 Miles of Bad Road, the films Sex and the City 2 and Horrible Bosses, and a cameo in a Rascal Flatts music video, "Why Wait".[5]
White is known for drinking Scotch as part of his act, as well as smoking cigars or cigarettes. He stated during his You Can't Fix Stupid show, "Somebody asked what I was drinking. If the company that made the stuff I was drinking was paying me, I'd have it in their bottle and not mine. But it's the kind of scotch that people drink that are going to die penniless. It's good though!"[6] In 2009 Comedy Central released Ron's stand up DVD Behavioral Problems.
In 2010, Ron White and producer Michael Blakey formed Organica Music Group (OMG), a label that promotes both emerging and established musicians and comedians. OMG indicated that it would release all of White's future DVDs and CDs.[7]
In November 2015, White announced that he was running for President of the United States as an independent candidate in 2016.[8]
In 2016, White starred as Phil, veteran road manager for the fictional Staton-House Band, in the Showtime series Roadies.
Personal life[edit]
White was married to Lori Brice from 1981 to 1993 and they had one son, Marshall. He was then married to Barbara Dobbs from 2004 to 2008.[9]
In October 2013 he married singer-songwriter, musician and cancer survivor Margo Rey, proposing to her just weeks before her initial diagnosis. Her hairstyle, dubbed as "chemo-glam" by her husband, was cropped short for her wedding due to her chemotherapy. She continues her battle with cancer (now affecting her lymph nodes), describing White as "the best husband in the world."[10]
On September 7, 2008, White was arrested on charges of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia after an anonymous tip informed Vero Beach, Florida police that White's private plane would be carrying narcotics.[11][12] He was found to be in possession of 7/8 of a gram of marijuana, which White described as being "out of marijuana".[13][14]
Awards and recognition[edit]
April 27, 2009 was designated as "Ron White Day" in the State of Texas by Texas legislative officials.[15] White received the Armed Forces Foundation's "Patriot Award" in March 2009 for his work in raising money to help wounded soldiers.[16] He also held benefit shows for Hurricane Katrina relief.[17] White's 2013 comedy album, A Little Unprofessional, was nominated for Best Comedy Album in the 56th Annual Grammy Awards in January 2014.

I am not familiar with the script you mention (airsnarf).
However I can see that your amended perl code does not include any parsing to put the password data into a form (array) which you are attempting to append/save.
I looked at the image you presented by another author. That script clearly parses the passwords first and then saves. Ensure that your amended airsnarf parses in the same/similar way.
Further, it might be prudent to include a 'print' statement to aid debugging to print the passwords to your screen as they are retrieved and then attempt to complete your code.
The principal reason for the email facility must surely be that passwords or similar data sets are infrequent and that the script can be left to run (as a background process) for a timely period to harvest data over a long term.

There are many ways to tell if you are pregnant, if you have had sex do not will have symptoms the next day and dificult a week, so do not jump to conclusions. To tell if you're pregnant the symptoms are:
- Delay
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Pain in the back and the back of the hip
- Swollen legs
- Sensitive sense of smell
- Fatigue
Now I will explain below the common cases that occur in pregnancy where there is doubt.
Had sex and think that took ejaculation inside.
This kind of thing can happen for many reasons, such as condom breakage, the situation got out of control and they did it without protection, among other things.
If this had happened and the erection in is likely to have been pregnant, but if you used emergency contraception within 72 hours after having the relationship, you've likely prevented pregnancy. Also If you used an emergency contraceptive rule may be sooner or later, so do not delay for that do not be scared if you got the rule means that no got pregnant, if it takes longer than normal to reach the menstruation, you can get a test pregnancy that you can buy at a pharmacy at a low cost.
Had sex a few days before or after the menstruation
Having relationships in such situations are more likely to get pregnant in your fertile days of the woman and the probability of pregnancy in these days is almost 100%, so be very careful not to use protection in those days, if you had sex in one day fertile I recommend taking a contraceptive pill as soon as possible after having the relationship, if is faster the better the effect to prevent pregnancy.
But yet every time there chances of getting pregnant, fertile days this probability increases, but much depends on the body of each woman and her menstrual cycle. They can even vary within the same woman for her menstrual cycle changes.
He did not ejaculate inside, but you have pregnancy symptoms
If not ejaculated inside no need to worry, it is unlikely that you got pregnant, these symptoms are usually psychological fear of being pregnant and even the rule takes longer than normal to arrive and there where the situation becomes increasingly tense, but do not worry, the chance that you are pregnant before a situation like that is very low. If you have doubts you get a pregnancy test pharmacy.
If not ejaculated inside I can get pregnant?
It is very unlikely to get pregnant in a situation like that, but there is a small chance of getting pregnant because the pre seminal fluid bouncing when having sex which happens long before ejaculating. Whenever you have unprotected sex, always take a emergency contraception.

Salad Nicoise Recipe
Salad Nicoise Recipe
By KC Kudra
The following recipe for Salad Nicoise serves six people as a main dish or ten as an appetizer. The combination of tuna, beans, tomatoes, potatoes and more is heavenly. No wonder this salad has stood the test of time. You can use shallots instead of green onions if you want, and halved cherry tomatoes instead of regular tomatoes.
You will need:
- 1 head Boston lettuce
- 2 tablespoon minced green onions
- 1 lb green beans, cooked until al dente
- 4 ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
- 1/4 cup vinegar mixed with 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons chopped, fresh parsley
- 3 tablespoon capers
- 1/4 cup small black pitted olives
- 1 can anchovies
- 4 small potatoes, boiled, peeled and sliced
- 6 oz canned, oil packed tuna
- 6 cold hard boiled eggs, halved lengthwise
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
How to make it:
Wash the lettuce, then separate the leaves and let them dry. Arrange them on a big serving platter.
Toss together some of the oil and vinegar mixture with the beans, green onions and some salt and pepper. Arrange the potato slices in the center of the serving platter. Arrange green beans at both ends of the serving platter.
Baste the tomatoes with some of the oil and vinegar and arrange them, and the tuna, on the serving platter. Surround the salad with the egg halves, yolk facing up. Put an anchovy on top of each egg half, then spoon the remaining oil and vinegar over everything. Decorate the platter with the parsley, olives, and capers and serve immediately.

Swiss Ad Agency Crafts Mannequins After the Disabled [Video]
This touching campaign led a group of physically disabled people to see themselves differently, with the hope that others will too.
In the ongoing debate over how the media shapes body image, surprisingly little ink has been spilled over the issue of mannequins. These pale, de-individualized figures quietly and insidiously represent normality despite being so exaggeratedly thin and distorted that clothes usually have to be pinned back on them. The 99.5% of us who don't need our clothes pinned back found some solace in the Dove Real Bodies campaign in 2004, but attempting to better represent the bodies of the masses can still often be problematic. The ad agency Jung Von Matt/Limmat was fortunate to have their client – disabled advocacy organization Pro Infirmis – encouraging them to take a fresh approach to this sort of work.
For the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the agency worked with a mannequin maker, introducing him to several people with unusual bodies due to disorders such as scoliosis, shortened limbs, and brittle bone disease. Among them were model Jasmin Rechsteiner, who was Miss Handicap 2010, athlete Urs Kolly, radio host Alex Oberholzer, actor Erwin Aljukic and blogger Nadja Schmid. He took their measurements and modified existing mannequins to precisely portray them, because "Who is perfect, anyway?". The mannequins went on display yesterday on Zürich's Bahnhofstrasse, in the windows of PKZ, Schild, Modissa, WE Fashion, and Bernies. The reactions of the models to the mannequins created in their image seems to have been very positive; one man tried his prosthetic shin on the mannequin to see that it fit perfectly. "It is special to see yourself like this, when you usually can't look at yourself in the mirror," said another. Passerby at the store window were surprised and moved.
Though Dove has been criticized for prioritizing appearance too much, potentially causing women to worry about it more, Jung Von Matt/Limmat can hardly be accused of such considering their project's context. A clothing store window may be the most unambiguously commercial place for it there is, and it's therefore both prominent and non-invasive. The campaign is more of a critique of the fashion world than of society at large. Plus, by focusing on the beauty of a group whose physicality is, when not marginalized and disparaged, ignored entirely, they are superficial in a way that is actually welcome. And Jung Von Matt/Limmat does know how to dig deeper: another campaign for the same client put a disabled man in a cuddly bear costume, which allowed him to give and get big hugs in the street.
