Some enterprises consider the flexibility and customized support from TPMs as an advantage. Customers will often switch to TPMs when the original warranty runs out, rather than renew the OEM support contract."
Dover, NH (PRWEB) March 28, 2016
Ardent Support Technologies, a Third Party Maintenance provider for Storage, Server, and Networking support contracts, has announced the company's inclusion in a March 17, 2016 Gartner report titled "Competitive Landscape: Leveraging Third-Party Maintenance Providers for Data Center and Network Maintenance Cost Optimization, North America".
The report provides a comprehensive list of key findings among the top companies in the Third Party Maintenance market, lists recommendations for companies considering TPM services, and evaluates 13 companies whose services were competitively vetted and categorized by Gartner research Analyst Christine Tenneson. Among those categories were Market "Disrupters", of which Ardent Support Technologies was identified.
"Enterprise's need to reduce capital expenditure (capex) spend in networking and data centers is a supporting factor to consider TPMs." Tenneson explains. "Some enterprises consider the flexibility and customized support from TPMs as an advantage. Customers will often switch to TPMs when the original warranty runs out, rather than renew the OEM support contract, due to significant increases in OEM postwarranty pricing."
"The recent report from Gartner is an accurate look into the current state of the Third Party Maintenance market." Said Jim Stevens, Co-Founder of Ardent. "For the last 10 years, Ardent has positioned itself as a high-touch, support focused company. We work continuously to improve our efficiency and drive down operational costs without sacrificing the level of support our customers have come to expect."
The complete report can be found here: http://info.ardentsupport.com/gartner-competitive-landscape/

The Story Of Uncle's Aw
The population is ageing everywhere, including Singapore. The number of elderly citizens aged 65 above in Singapore is expected to double from 440,000 in 2015, to 900,000 by 2030. Along with this "Silver Tsunami" is the upward trend of the number of elderly who are living alone – which is estimated to increase from 35,000 in 2012 to 83,000 by 2030. Elderly who are staying alone are at higher risk of social isolation and tend to have poor access to healthcare. Watch the video of Uncle Aw, one of our elderly participants in the SHINESeniors research programme led by SMU-TCS iCity Lab, who will share with you a part of his life story. So how can technology be used to help our seniors live independently in the community whilst respecting their privacy?
The Story Of Volunteer Xia Jia
Recent years have witnessed the emergence of ageing-in-place, an ageing paradigm that is harmonious with the aspirations of elderly to age gracefully, safely and comfortably in the community that they live in, and have access to a range of aged care facilities and services that will facilitate active ageing-in-place. To support the needs and wants of the elderly and to enable them to age-in-place, government initiated schemes and elderly-care resources at all levels - individual, community and city – need to be in place. However, the old-age support in Singapore will reduce to 2:1 by 2030. There is a persistent shortage of available care service providers and volunteer resources from the community. Watch the story of Xia Jie, a senior So how can technology be used to support community care providers in providing personalised care for seniors who are living alone?
Holistic Solutions
The multidimensional nature of the ageing problem calls for a comprehensive approach to ensure that various aspects of the elderly's life are considered in the design of technological solutions and the formulation of care and intervention processes. This will ensure that the dignity and quality of life of the elderly is maintained, while improving the efficacy and effectiveness of the aged care ecosystem. We therefore envisage a holistic and personalized care model, whereby the needs and aspirations of elderly are given utmost attention, enabled by technologies that understands and respect the uniqueness of every individual elderly. The SHINESeniors project helps streamline community care services using technology. This has resulted in better care delivery and personalisation. Our project seeks to improve the well-being and happiness of senior Singaporeans.

So the ICC World Twenty20 comp has started. Just as well too, it has been far too long since the last Twenty20 competition. Other people have reviewed the tournament way better than I could, so I don't really need to add anything. Plus, I really don't have the energy.
I do, however, have the inside scoop on some of the odds being offered on the tournament.
The chance of England will suffer an 'unexpected' loss to a minnow – against Ireland $2.50 – in the semi finals $75
Chance of Graeme Smith breaking a finger – $1.50
Chance of lil davy warner proving Darwin's theory of Natural Selection $1.80
Chance of me getting out of bed at 3am to watch games $30
Chance of an Australian not saying "Aw look" during a prematch and/or postmatch interview $1.20
Chance of Pakistan feeding Shahid Afridi 7 large Hawaiian pizzas, 5 chicken kebabs, 19 litres of peppermint choc chip icecream, 23 granny smith apples, 12 raspberry lollipops and 8 footlong pepperoni subs before every match, just in case $2.30
Chance of Australia being knocked out in the first round $3.60
Chance of me caring about the tournament should Australia be knocked out in the first round $780
Chance of Dirty Dirk being absolutely awesome $1.01

So, I was watching Mad Men the other night and I was struck by how glamorous all the women look in bed! Well, if you ask me, they're a bunch of dysfunctional lasses, but none of them would be caught dead in some of the scroungy things that make up sleepwear these days- From old tees that are branded political parties that I will not mention, to stretched out sweats. Yikes! This calls for some nighttime spring cleaning. I say out with the old, in with the sexy! Are you with me? I can bet you, your mate is 😛
To get you inspired, here's a round-up of nightwear that's sexy but comfortable enough for you to actually sleep in 🙂
In soft cotton, this classic set is a perfect gift idea, even for yourself! It features a fun and playful leo print and quite frankly, it gives me the urge to host a pyjama party and slink around, cocktail in hand, looking oh-so-glamorous! 🙂
THIS.SET.THOUGH!? I love that it evokes a calming atmosphere but oozes feminine allure the same time. The length of the nighty is perfect, I love that the fit is loose enough to allow for free circulation of blood but skims the body just so to allow you to flaunt thy curves 😉 Need I get started on how thoughtful the embroidery and lace detail is?!
I also recently discovered the this particular colour is a shade of pink called Puce 🙂
Just like the nursery rhyme, this set is tres cute! From the nighty's playful shade of pink, to the polka dot gown it comes with, this set nods to the 90s trend and I'm noding right back 🙂
I love the colour Peach for its sweet and sophisticated nature so it's only natural that I gravitated to this nightgown. Nairobi has been experiencing cold nights lately and finding anything to battle the chill can seem fruitless, well, until you stumble upon this number! It's super soft and extra cozy, perfect to provide extra warmth and comfort while you relax at home.
All pieces are from Impressions. Which one(s) will you be snugging soon?
For all your quality-guaranteed nightwear, underwear and lingerie needs, kindly give them a call on +254 739 300824, or pay them a visit on the 2nd floor of Yaya Centre
Love love every piece.. I can't decide which I love most! This is without a doubt my favorite of your posts this year .. Perfection… 🙂 definitely need to get me one of these hot numbers 😉
Love this post..I'm so with you on this one…www.proudlyelled.com
My favourite Panama outfit here is the animal majic, love the print and design…..and brAvo to the the set up/concept of the last one..cozy peach….

If only I could get my hands on that animal print nightwear!!! I'm obsessed with all things animal print! Great post Dee! Lovely pictures too

With their Graphistudio album order they said "Absolutely love it! Thank you"
Some great feedback from a lovely couple. "I'm just going through them all now – we love them!" and "We love the dancing shot that you've saved as our cover shot. It looks perfect with the sunset in the background!"
A delightful wedding day at Stapleford Park, a large impressive location, perfect for weddings. We received the following text from Rachael: "The photos look fab!"
Alex is a photographer and was very happy with our work. Sarah and Alex had a beautiful wedding and here is some of the feedback we received from them:
"Was lovely to have Jinx Photography to do our wedding. Mark came to visit us at the venue before the big day and discussed our requirements and ideas.
Our wedding day came and from arriving at the venue to the end of the ceremony Mark made sure he caught the day perfectly. When we received the finished photos they were beautiful. Lots of natural shots and also some very artistic ones.
Jinx were very professional and lovely to work with who delivered a wonderful service. Thank you for capturing our special day"
"We've been through the pictures and they are all great thank you."
After processing their wedding photograph's; we received a lovely message, here it is: "The photos are lovely. You really have captured our personality and emotion and I would recommend you very highly."
Such a beautiful wedding day. We received feedback through text. "Hi Mark, thank you for the photos, they look great! Thanks, Caroline." and a Google Plus recommendation from Peter. "Can't fault our experience with Jinx! We were recommended them by a friend and when researching what they were offering it was amazing value for money when compared to others! The platinum package was cheaper than others basic packages.
Mark was brilliant with us and made us feel at ease, which was brilliant considering all the other stresses we had to deal with. I had no concerns about the photos, which is a major part of the day.
We met up previous to the day to discuss places to have shots and get to know each other. This was invaluable and really helped us get our heads around what was required on the day. Jinx was completely flexible and listened to what we wanted.
On the day they got on with their job efficiently, but without intruding too much. Sometimes weddings feel like one big photoshoot, but this was well handled, leaving lots of time for us to just enjoy the day. We actually over-ran, but they were generous enough to stay (beyond the agreed times) to get all the shots we needed.
The pictures were great, and the website was easy to navigate and all our family could view the photos easily. Some photos even had some special effects added to them, which really added another dimension and made it feel even more special.
In short, you can't really go wrong with Jinx. They were professional, polite, responsive, flexible and the shots were amazing."
A fantastic family, we have photographed a birthday party for their family as well. The feedback we received from our couple was "All the photos are fantastic thank you very much."
A great couple who had a delightful vintage teaparty wedding. Here is the feedback we received from them. "We've looked through them all, they are FANTASTIC!!! Thank you so so much!!! :D" and "You have really done an amazing job!! I will be telling everyone 🙂 x."
This couple are so amazing together, the wedding was perfect and one of the guests even brought the Olympic torch with them! This made some excellent photo oppourtunites! We received quite a lot of positive feedback, here are a few of the messages: "The photos are amazing and we love them!". They also loved their Italian wedding album, they said: "Hey Mark, we absolutely love it 🙂 Thank you so much for sorting it for us." and finally… "Thanks Mark 🙂 You've been an absolute star and it was so lovely to have met and worked with you. If we ever need a photographer in the future you'll be the first ones we come too. Best wishes for the future also to you and your family. Take care. P.s just opened the calendar and it was a nice surprise, thanks."

Motel Radio is an indie rock band hailing from New Orleans, Louisiana. The band was born out of a songwriting collaboration between college roommates, Ian Wellman and Winston Triolo, that has since grown into a full band consisting of Eric Lloyd (drums), and Andrew Pancamo (bass).
Early writing and recording culminated in the summer of 2015 with the band's independently released EP "Days and Nights". The EP earned them supporting slots for national acts such as Drive-By Truckers and Kurt Vile in addition to festival performances at Firefly, New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, and SXSW among others. The band was named "Best Emerging Artist" at the 2016 Big Easy Awards in their home town of New Orleans.
Motel Radio's atmospheric, harmony-driven sound and unique dual frontman arrangement garnered the attention of Roll Call Records, who released their EP 'Desert Surf Films' in September 2016.

I remember, those tiny little hands
Wrapping around my neck
In the night so dark,
Keeping me awake and numb.
I remember, humming lullaby
Holding the tiny you
Hoping that you would sleep on cue,
With exhaustion that never said bye.
I remember, putting you down
In the crib, with bated breath
Standing still beside, as would a rock,
Hoping that you sleep to catch my breath.
I remember, thinking that someday I would hope
That you were here to disturb my sleep
That this moment of exhaustion doesn't matter,
For I love you with all my heart.

Parkinson's disease is a debilitating neurodegenerative disorder that currently has no objectively approved screening method. Doctors are only able to make a diagnosis by interviewing the patient and examining their medical history – and this leaves plenty of room for error and inaccuracies.
A team of dogs on San Juan Island in Washington, however, could identify hundreds of Parkinson's patients simply by using their noses.
The Parkinson's Canine Detection Project is an initiative that trains 20 different pups to sniff out the disease on peoples' shirts. The shirts – or "samples", as they're called – are sent to the initiative's training center where the dogs are allowed to sniff the samples and determine whether they belong to a patient who is at risk for Parkinson's.
The project's volunteers found that by exposing the samples to multiple trained dogs for a consensus, the results were accurate—at the end of 2017 alone, the hounds sniffed out results that had a 90% accuracy of diagnosis.
LOOK: Parkinson's Pen For Patients Who Want to Keep Writing Christmas Cards
The project was first started in 2016 when Joy Milne, a Scottish woman whose husband passed away from Parkinson's six years ago, found that she was able to smell the disease on her husband before he was ever officially diagnosed.
Once Milne's story was broadcasted by news outlets around the world, Lisa Holt, the program director of Parkinson's Alert Dogs (PADS), got the idea to train canines to develop the same kind of ability.
"All dogs have the ability, but successful dogs usually display high drive for the work," Holt told Good News Network. "There is one other program for training dogs to detect Parkinson's Disease in the U.K. We are the only program in the United States."
RELATED: Woman Can Smell Parkinson's Disease, May Lead To Breakthrough For Detection
In a scientific study of Milne's astonishing abilities, researchers found that she was best able to smell the disease's "oily" odor around the neck and back regions of a tee shirt. She was also better at detecting the scent when the patient had been wearing a shirt made out of 100% cotton.
By replicating the methods used by Milne, Holt found that the PADs experienced similar results.
Being able to diagnose Parkinson's disease in its early stages has a multitude of benefits. According to Holt, "a growing body of evidence from medical literature describes numerous advantages that may be associated with early therapeutic intervention", such as reduced symptoms, delay of medication side effects, slowed disease progression, and decreased chance of developing a tolerance for the treatment.
While Holt and the PADS team continues to hone the accuracy and technique of the pups, they hope that the project's development will result in an innovative new way of screening Parkinson's patients – and eventually saving lives.

Craig Evans, who spent 10 years as the lead commentator for the Singapore Turf Club before returning to his Australian roots late last year, will be the voice of the tracks of the Emirates Racing Association for the 2017-2018 season, replacing his compatriot Terry Spargo. He will call the races at all ERA tracks, including the flagship Dubai International Racing Carnival at Meydan.
A native of Carnavon, Western Australia, Evans began his commentating career some three decades ago and became the principal greyhound caller from 1993-2006. Since departing Singapore, Evans has been working for Racing Victoria, Racing.com and Radio RSN in Melbourne. Evans was among the three finalists for the feature race calling position with Racing Victoria. He was also one of two candidates to audition for the then-open position at Santa Anita vacated by Trevor Denman.
"Dubai World Cup night has always been my favourite night of racing after attending covering Rocket Man (Aus) (Viscount {Aus}) three years in a row," Evans said in an email. "I'm excited to be part of the night and the full season in the United Arab Emirates. Calling five very different tracks will be challenging but will keep the five-month season very interesting."
The United Arab Emirates racing season begins at Jebel Ali Racecourse next Friday, Nov. 3. The first Meydan meeting is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 9, while the Dubai International Racing Calendar runs from Jan. 11 through Dubai World Cup day Saturday, Mar. 31, 2018.

When one sees BMWs, Mercedes or Hondas on the highway, chances are high they had been originally dreamed up in sunny Southern California. But remember the other superior self-driving/autonomous automobiles which can be within the works! These mechanics work on the smaller engines of motorcycles, and may also work with the engines of other smaller autos, reminiscent of mopeds, scooters, filth bikes and the like. Work would possibly embrace every part from repairing minor problems to a whole overhaul and restoration of engines and motorbike our bodies.

Once accepted by the company, I used to be notified of obtainable project in my area. The choice was completely mine to accept or refuse the work. Usually there was a window of a week or two to finish the brief, I had the possibility to read by what was expected of me earlier than making a consultancy rules have been that if anybody challenged me, questioning if I used to be a thriller shopper, I should walk out instantly without saying something.
Before the unions: Children the age of twelve had been working in coal mines. Unions helped to end that…but it surely wasn't because of altruism. The working day was twelve generally more hours per day with no or few breaks. No sick days, no vacation time, no overtime and no actual pay raise structure. Laws by the U.S. gov changed alot of that, however, there are still instances where unionizing will be, and is useful. I would agree that the need for unions has modified drastically from the twenties and thirties, however remove them and you will notice a slide back into outdated ways where ever possible.
Other engineering developments concentrate on bettering transmissions (including speeds), accessory load reduction through the clever vitality management of different automobile parts, automobile electrification, hybridization, improved battery management systems, new battery chemistries, and power electronics.

In an expletive-filled elucidation, a Seattle, Washington, coffee shop owner told a pro-life Christian group that they had to leave the store because he apparently found their presence offensive.
An organization called Abolish Human Abortion uploaded an NSFW (for language) video of the encounter at Bedlam Coffee to Facebook, where it has received almost 600,000 views as of this writing, and then found its way to YouTube.
A barista apparently had informed the owner that the members of the Christian activist group, who were taking a coffee break in the shop, had been handing out pro-life pamphlets on the street corner, which the owner evidently didn't appreciate, as he explained to them.
"I'm gay; you have to leave. This [apparently holding a pamphlet] is offensive to me. I own the place. I have the right to be offended."
He admitted that he was denying them service. The Christian customers attempted to point out that no pamphlets were being distributed inside the cafe, but that didn't fly with him, as he is heard telling them to shut up several times, and advising them to alert their friends not to patronize the shop. The NSFW remarks by the owner included an edgy discussion of the meaning of tolerance, including a profane reference to Jesus.
One of the members of the Christian group told The Liberator that "They had good coffee, It's just too bad the service sucked." She also highlighted the potential implication of hypocrisy in that Christian business owners from time to time have faced legal jeopardy for incidents of denial of services, particularly in connection with same-sex marriage.
Parenthetically, Washington is the same state where a Christian florist was hauled into court for refusing to provide services for a same-sex wedding. Earlier this year, a unanimous state supreme court ruled that great-grandmother Barronelle Stutzman, the owner of Arlene's Flowers, violated the state's anti-discrimination law as it relates to public accommodations, CBS News explained. Through her lawyers, Stutzman had unsuccessfully argued that she was exercising her First Amendment, religious freedom rights under the U.S. Constitution. Stutzman's attorneys indicated they would appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, which already has a similar case from a Colorado Christian baker on its docket.
According to the Washington Times, the Bedlam Coffee shop owner posted several Facebook responses to what happened, suggesting the rant might have been taken out of context, but those posts appear to be no longer available.
In what some might possibly consider an example of rhetorical bedlam, watch the very NSFW video that was recorded at Bedlam Coffee and draw your own conclusions.
As the Seattle coffee shop owner who ejected the Christian group is a developing story, please watch this space for updates.

Last week, I had a few really vivid dreams. In one of them, I had a wiener dog. It was awesome. In the other, though, I walked around Boston with my dad. In some ways, it was also awesome. Let me explain…
Today marks five years since his death. This past September began my fourth year in Boston. Sometimes I forget that just about everything in my life has changed since then. Were he to come back for day, he would find my day-to-day completely unrecognizable. And so, in a weird way, I actually kind of enjoyed this dream I had. Its premise was that he didn't actually die on Nov. 27, 2009, but for some reason had been in a coma since then and recently woke up, a little bit like a bizarre Encino Man sequel starring a middle-aged attorney. He and I strolled Boston, I pointed out various landmarks that figured into my new life and we stopped for beers are several pubs along the way. We talked all about beer and he seemed pretty impressed with my new fermentation-filled life. Even though it technically never happened, it almost felt like closure.
Sometimes I wonder what he'd think about what I've done with myself since bouncing out of journalism. When I broke the news to my parents that I found a master's program I wanted to apply to, he was skeptical, saying that I had a job in an industry in which they'd become sparse in an economic climate that had many recent graduates waiting tables. I don't love the debt I accumulated, but going back to school has obviously been the right decision. I can hear his clipped, staccato half-yelling of my name (if you knew him, you've heard it: JES-si-CAAA), followed by "I paid for all that private school and THIS is what you do with yourself – loll around and drink beer?!?" (For the record, I'm pretty sure he'd be on board with what I get up to these days.)
Even though I've lived in Boston for four years, it's still strange to me to realize that no one I've met since moving here knows the non-Sad Kid version of me. To them, I've always been a person whose spirit is missing a little chunk, who doesn't quite laugh as loudly and who always seems a little sad this time of year. I don't know that any of them thinks those things about me, but I've also tried my best to keep Bummer Jess subdued. No sense in trotting that out when you're trying to make new friends. Sometimes, it boggles my mind that the people I see everyday, who know most of my peccadillos and other weirdnesses, don't know the full story of what's ripped my life apart.
And of course they don't – because I haven't told them. But, why would I? Why would you want to try to win over new friends with the terrible story of how you found out your dad died by reading breaking news updates on your newspaper's website while you were the only person in the newsroom on the day after Thanksgiving? Or how long it took to get your father's killer sentenced to a measly six years in prison because her mysterious funding paid for private interpretation of the unmetabolized cocaine that was in her system? Or how you weren't sure if you'd have to sit through a painful trial that called into question where you dad was walking the day her car left its lane but you just held your breath and prayed that the system took pity on your poor bereaved family? You wouldn't. You figure out who doesn't mind hearing those things and only burden them with it when you can't stand to shoulder it on your own anymore. It's one of the most unfair facts of life as a Sad Kid – you have to trudge on with the stone you carry on your back until you find someone you think doesn't mind your unloading. On this Thanksgiving, I am particularly grateful for professional therapy.
You try your best to learn when it's OK to offload and when it's not. I hate feeling like a bother or a downer, so I mostly keep this to myself. Not much is worse than spilling the pebbles of your grief before someone who seems annoyed, so you learn fast who that is (fortunately, most people aren't like this). You can tell someone who doesn't want to hear your woe by their tersely throwing a "Well, everything happens for a reason" your way. The only thing that induces more inward eye-rolling in me is the "Be strong for your mom"s that met my brothers during our dad's wake and funeral. In telling them that, it always felt to me that people discounted their own feelings in keeping with the old trope that young men should shed nary a tear and keep a stiff upper lip for the delicate ladies in their midst. But the worst – the absolute worst – is "Everything happens for a reason." Back in my day, it was beloved by high school girls for their "favorite quotes" box in their AOL profiles. When it's used in regard to my family's unfortunate situation, all I hear is "yeah, well, your dad had to die for some reason that we'll understand one day." Which, in my somewhat humble opinion, is garbage. There's no reason for this and the only lesson to be learned is that we're all real fudging sad, but we carry on because there's nothing else that can be done. This sounds harsh, but I promise it's not. Not everyone is equipped to deal with tragedy. I sure as hell wasn't before it happened to us. It's the unfathomable, and if you can't fathom it, honestly, I envy you.
This reads like an angry rant about how everyone I know is a jerk. It's really not. Quite the contrary, just about everyone I know is a dear. It would have been a rough half-decade without friends to make me smile, listen to my profanity-laden gripes and just pat me on the back when I need it. Losing our home to Sandy rounded out an epic crapfest, but our friends and family rallied to get us settled as quickly as possible (no thanks to the Toms River building department) and I don't think there are enough ways to say "thank you." And so, what I think I've been trying to get at in this screed (forgive me – it's been a while since I've written anything longer than an email) is that as hard as the past five years have been, I don't want to know how hard it would have been for us without the people in our lives.

I am making changes and this is one of them. I used to be a Wordpress user and I loved it. Love Wordpress and the flexibility it offers. But while everyone seems to be switching over to Wordpress from Blogger, I am doing the opposite. Oh, and my files aren't coming with me right now.
See, while I like to write, share, create, learn, etc... I am not technically adequate when it comes to site maintenance and it finally bit me in the you know what. I fooled around with one too many gadgets and what not and got myself in a bind that I couldn't afford to get out of. Could I easily pay someone to do all this for me? Yes, except it would have to be in Thank-yous and hugs because I currently do not have a budget for such things.
And? I kinda feel like a lot of my previous content was junk. I appreciate you to the ends of the earth for putting up with my ramblings if you followed me before. You were very patient. I may slowly bring things over as I figure it out, but maybe not. We'll see.
Being New Year's Eve, this is the beginnings of beginnings and there is no time better to start something new. I have a lot ahead this year.
- Baby #3 should be making his debut in the next few weeks.
- Princess will be starting Kindergarten!
- My Little Man starts preschool just this week. My preschool heartache is just as strong this time around :(
- My husband will be making huge strides in his career plan as 2014 nears.
Happy New Year everyone!

After they get a little more distance from their past relationships, the timing will finally be right for them to make this relationship public! She would best be described as sweet and wholesome.Lawson attended Assumption High School, an all-girls Catholic school, and even co-hosted the WDRB Fox 41 Kid's Club in an American detective comedy-drama television series in which Lawson played a junior detective for the Santa Barbara Police Department.
The show had developed a cult following even though it went off the air after its eighth season on March 26, 2014.
Lawson filed for divorce in early 2017 and stopped wearing her wedding ring to public events, making it very clear that she wanted a separation from her husband, Koldyke.
She even removed "wife" from her Twitter bio and then proceeded to change her Instagram username from "@maggielawsonkoldyke" to "@magslawslawson" in late 2017.

He was in a long-term relationship with a beautiful TV actress who was also on the show. After Wholesome got together with Funny, this is what happened: Beauty left Funny and married someone else… Yes, those two broken relationships are related to each other!


text: I didn't realize Count Zero was the source for the famous William Gibson phrase "The street finds its own use for things." It's a cyberpunk novel set in the Sprawl of eastern North America. It has the standard Gibson plot with houngans and badass street-samurai and all this stuff I first learned of in the Shadowrun RPG. Part of the source material though. Bobby Newmark is in here too, and I feel like that name is really famous or something (though I may be thinking of the RZA and Bobby Digital). Add in the fact that I read Count Zero's sequel Mona Lisa Overdrive in the last few months and everything about this reading felt half-remembered. Which fit thematically. I do love the electroded way of jacking into the Matrix, and the ICE and all that. Even though it's not how the future's going to be I still love reading these things.

adidas Originals collaborates with music visionaries Snoop Dogg, Desiigner and MadeinTYO to release remixed tracks of the iconic song "My Way" by Frank Sinatra in two new music videos on music's biggest night.
- Snoop Dogg, Desiigner and MadeinTYO remix the iconic song "My Way" by Frank Sinatra for adidas Originals in "Original Is Never Finished" music videos
- adidas Originals turns to Twitter to launch "Original Is Never Finished" music videos during music's big night
- adidas Originals collaborates with creators through open source to inspire a new generation redefining the meaning of originality
As a spinoff to the brand's recent campaign film "Original Is Never Finished", adidas Originals continues to push the boundaries of creativity by reimagining their very own work with three musical artists.
On the launch of the two new videos, the brand turned to Twitter for a takeover teasing both the songs and videos, which officially led up to the final reveal on the social platform. Reaffirming the notion original is never finished, adidas Originals continues to turn to its creators, inspiring them to redefine the meaning of originality.
"As a brand we believe in creative freedom and are always challenging ourselves to push the bounds… Open source lies at the core of Originals' DNA and is integrated into everything we do; what we create, who we create with and how we communicate. The decision to recreate our very own campaign film, just weeks after it debuted, and launch two new re-imagined videos via social media just felt right." – Alegra O'Hare, VP of Global Communications adidas Originals & Core
In one video featuring, Snoop Dogg, the rapper and songwriter is captured recording the track within his studio. "I've been doing things my way from day one – A1 to Day 1 – and doing things my way is the only way," says Snoop Dogg. "You need to be connected to the record and give it a second life, and extend the music from its original form." The result is an original soundtrack remixed by the artist himself.
In another video, award nominee for Best Rap Performance, Desiigner, depicts a recreation of the famous painting, St. Sebastian by Sandro Botticelli, giving this iconic work of art new meaning for today's generation.
In another scene, adidas Originals' repurposed their very own NMD product into masks and MadeinTYO joins a company of masked dancers to perform his original remix of "My Way". This collaborative video featuring the two artists reinforces the notion that if you push something far enough, it becomes original again.
"After opening the conversation with our recent campaign film, we are looking to continue challenging our audience's idea of originality. By remixing, hacking and handing over our film's song, we put the power into the hands of the creators, in an ongoing process to prove that "Original is never finished"." – Matthew Edwards, Creative Director at Johannes Leonardo.

This is a convergence trading strategy that is designed to generate returns independent of what happens to the overall market. It does this by attempting to neutralize all or most market directional risk (aka systematic risk or beta) as well as sector risk. With this strategy the focus is on stock selection. So if you are a great stock picker, you may be able to apply some of the ideas of this strategy to your own portfolio.
Central to this strategy is the concept of "one alpha." One alpha means that this strategy produces a return from a single portfolio that has both long and short positions which in total produce no market exposure. This is different from the equity long/short strategy in that the equity long/short strategy has market exposure and produces returns from two different portfolios, one long and one short. Here, the focus is on one portfolio as a whole that consists of both long and short positions that on the whole has an equal dollar amount invested in both long and short positions and produces no exposure to market risk. This is known as the "rule of one alpha." When a portfolio manager follows the rule of one alpha, the portfolio he constructs will depend on stock selection as its source of return because there will be no return from exposure to market risk-the portfolio will have no beta or systematic risk exposure and the return to the portfolio will not depend on the moves of the broader market. Although there is leverage involved in the shorting of stocks, beyond this there is no leverage used in this strategy.
To apply this strategy a bottom up approach is taken. Bottom up means you start at the company level with the analysis. The goal is to find out what financial variables drive the price of the stocks. In this approach the financial data of the individual stocks, and not economic data, is looked at when selecting stocks for the portfolio. It is easy nowadays to simply go online to one of the many financial sites and get a ton of free data on the various financial ratios and financial condition of a stock as well as its industry. The amount of financial analysis (as well as what it means) you can do over the internet on a publicly traded company is only limited by your time and energy. Therefore, I will not waste anyone's time on explaining information that can be easily found with a simple search on the internet….
Risk, simply stated, is uncertainty concerning what will happen in the future. Is it realistic to expect that a neutrally constructed portfolio can avoid all market risk, credit risk, currency risk, industry risk, and all the other kinds of risk? Probably not…. I don't know of any industry that is not impacted to at least some degree by broader economic forces, and it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to perfectly offset the risk of each individual stock in a portfolio, no matter how good your analytical skills or how powerful your computer is. The key thing for individual investors and traders to remember is that risk should be utilized and managed as best as possible - risk should be understood and exploited.
As far as which stocks should be chosen for inclusion into the portfolio, many funds use computer models that measure the risk involved. Obviously, an individual investor would not have access to these models, but many investors do have extensive experience and knowledge that they could apply in constructing a portfolio using this strategy. This is, of course, not ideal and the resulting portfolio would not be perfectly neutral, but nonetheless an individual investor could at a minimum reduce the amount of risk he is exposing himself to and get a better risk adjusted return in the process. -John Bardacino

Condominiums are in significant demand, lilium condo floor plans and you'll find four variations to select from.
Condominiums happen to be steadily getting in level of popularity up to now number of a long time in Winnipeg. At the least portion of the is because of the reality that whilst consumers have a difficult time getting a awesome household below $150,000, condominiums remain readily available in this particular cost array.
Whether that you are a first-time household buyer, or an 'empty-nester', you can find condominiums which is able to in good shape your requirements. Here is an overview of available possibilities plus the distinctions between them:
Apartment-style: They are normally three tales tall or maybe more, and so are defined by acquiring one particular typical entrance way major to a foyer or hallways, from in which the person suites department off. Taller condominiums are most frequently constructed with concrete flooring, which aids inside the noise-reduction. Preferably, you should want a balcony which means you can sit outside the house and also have some new air. Most have window a/c units, nevertheless the nicer, more expensive types have central air. An additional issue to keep in your mind is always that not all of them have in-suite laundry, that's a nice choice to have. They typically come by using a parking spot, with underground places commanding a better selling price. These kind of condos can sometimes however be identified all-around the $100,000 mark for a 1-bedroom, and $125,000 and up for any two BR, with regards to the solutions. Luxurious condominiums of 1400 sq ft plus more can operate appreciably much more, depending on location.
Townhouse-style: They're generally a single and 2 tale buildings, with every device getting its own entrance. Most of they're wooden-frame development, the draw back getting that you choose to could listen to your neighbor's stereo (or amorous escapades). These condominiums typically have an outdoor parking stall, window a/c and usually have in-suite laundry. An average 2 BR of about 900 sq toes will operate you all-around $130,000, once more depending on location.
Side-by-sides: Most of these are of more recent building, and can selection in price and size. Becoming newer properties (commonly constructed within the past ten years), in addition they appear with extra possibilities, for instance c/air, connected garages, complete basements along with other amenities. Privateness is amplified in that you just only share a person wall that has a neighbor, and many of the more recent types have pretty very good seem insulation involving the walls. Price ranges of those forms of condominiums vary from close to $200,000 and up.
Detached Condominiums: These are generally what I phone the 'best of both worlds". Essentially these are stand-alone buildings, fully detached, but giving many of the benefits of lilium condo floor plans. You've got your individual home, generally with many of the choices including attached garages etc, but no yard-work, snow-shoveling or other upkeep expected. These kinds of condos are scarce, and thus dear. They usually start off close to the $250,000 mark and run in to the half-million greenback assortment.

Mark Zuckerberg has written what pundits are calling a Facebook manifesto. The long essay centers on five areas to "bring humanity together."
Mark Zuckerberg on Thursday laid out a vision for Facebook to help address the world's challenges and opportunities by building a "global community" at a time there is a rising backlash against globalization.
In a wide-ranging essay of nearly 6,000 words, the 32-year-old CEO wrote that until recently a more connected world was viewed as positive, "yet now, across the world there are people left behind by globalization, and movements for withdrawing from global connection."
"There are questions about whether we can make a global community that works for everyone, and whether the path ahead is to connect more or reverse course," he wrote.
Some of humanity's greatest opportunities are global, such as promoting peace, ending poverty or accelerating science, Zuckerberg wrote. At the same time challenges like climate change or preventing pandemics require global responses.
"Progress now requires humanity coming together not just as cities or nations, but also as a global community," he wrote.
Most Facebook users use the social media platform to connect with friends and family or read news, but Zuckerberg said the social network of nearly 2 billion people would try to encourage "social infrastructure."
Zuckerberg listed five areas, or "communities," where Facebook could play a role in "bringing humanity together." They range from building online social communities that strengthen traditional institutions to providing services during crises or fostering civil engagement.
One thing Facebook will try to do is suggest "meaningful communities." Only 5 percent of Facebook users, or 100 million people, are currently in "very meaningful" social media communities", he wrote.
These online communities that help connect groups locally or globally "strengthen our social fabric," he said.
Comments on Facebook below Zuckerberg's post ranged from praise for his vision to those labeling him a globalist or only interested a public relations stunt to make more money.
Facebook has been under pressure on privacy issues -- it's notable to the word privacy is only mentioned once in the entire essay. The company also faces controversy for so-called "filter bubbles"and how it handles hoaxes, fake news and other controversial content, while also remaining an open platform without censorship.
It is not surprising Zuckerberg wants to explore to ways to expand Facebook, which would give it more opportunities to sell the ads that generate most of its revenue. The company reported 2016 revenue of $27.6 billion, up 54 percent from a year earlier.
Zuckerberg has an estimated worth of $56 billion. He and his wife Priscilla Chan announced in 2015 that they would donate 99 percent of their Facebook wealth.

Replication of the Golden Witch Hiatus X Hiatus edition
Last thread:
In a brief moment, the world opens up. But just because it exists doesn't mean it can be understood.
You can't remember who you are, you can't remember where you are. Lost in the middle of nowhere.
The uneventful void causes those existing to feel dizzy, and the eternal silence makes ones ear's crave for stimuli.
But suddenly, something changes. You hear a faint voice attempting to talk with you...
"Poor boy, you just lost again. Even if you had some fun, I don't think you really wanted to lose that bet...
I know how bad losing can be, so let me try to cheer you up.
Power, Strength, Love.
Those three things are what most men claim to call their desires. Tell me, which one do you wish for?"
"Hey Eva, you seem kinda quiet. Is something the matter?"
Ozaki walks back to the dinning room, and he finds Jessica standing alone in the Hallway.
Meanwhile, Eva mutters an answer to Kinjo.
"Well, I'm just a little affected by Father's dead. I'm sure my son also wanted to have his blessing... he must be so confused right now."Last edited at 13/12/27(Fri)19:40:28
Attention, gameboardians!
This game is going to restart by September 13th. Yes, I'm not lying.
Well, perhaps by restart it means its only going to do its best to continue, but I will do my best to post and allow the players to continue where they left.
Therefore, it is strongly suggested that the players check the thread again and try to remember what was going on until the point where we stopped!
Next thread:
I welcome you all to the sign up thread of my next gameboard: Cabin on the Brink.
The players have already been determined, so this thread is merely a formality for the record. It will be an RP game with six player characters thrown into an original story using original pieces. Each shall receive a background which I will send them via private chat.
Attached you will find a brochure to your vacation destination. I do hope you packed appropriately.
As for rules, Green text shall be the primary method of moving your piece. I'm sure you're all familiar with how it works, yes?
edit:This game has totally gotten postponed. Don't expect it until some time in the future.
This is your Attorney's Badge. There are many badges like it, but this one is yours. Without your badge, you are nothing. With your badge, you are still nothing, but at least you have a badge, and that makes you feel better about yourself.
Your client, Dew Yousee. He's been accused of theft of a bomb. He claims to have been mistaken for security detail.
Public prosecutor in charge of this case. She speaks with determination and in a loud voice. She has a reputation for pursuing justice fiercely. Supposedly, whenever she gets bored with a case, bad things happen?
Note bearing Yousee's signature. It's a statement saying the undersigned has arrived and will be guarding the location.
This is an open letter of invitation to prepare an Ace Attorney team of no more than 2 persons who will struggle together to unveil the truth in a Phoenix Wright-style courtroom brawl. Battle through testimony by shoving evidence in everyone's faces. Explore the wonderful world of the Seacat world as you search for scraps of paper you can call evidence. Despair as the prosecution piles on the evidence contradicting the innocence of your client.
Above all, of course, your client is innocent.
I'm currently fact-checking and compiling resources to present as much fun as I possibly can. The game will proceed as follows:
I will create four threads. One thread will be Court Records, where I will present all of the items accepted into evidence by the court. Another thread will be Collected Evidence, which is evidence that hasn't been formally accepted but which may be used. You cannot present items that were not posted in collected evidence, of course. Testimonies go in both these cases, too.
The third thread will be the game thread. All posting by players is done in the game thread. The players form the defence team, and so act out the role of defence attorney. Their task is to cross-examine witnesses, and through the process of cross-examination and presentation of evidence, they refute the claims of the prosecution. At any point during the court, the court may adjourn and the players are given the chance to investigate by doing some legwork. At that time there will be a thread for the investigation phase.
It's going to take some time to gather a solid case and present it to the players proper, and there'll be some kinks to work out as I transition NDS games to imageboard format, but I figured I'd check if there's any interest before even going forward with most of the groundwork.
Upupupupu! Well, if you guys prefer it that way... I can make it happen.
However, I can't actually edit anything because I'm not a mod, so I'd prefer to keep a separate thread for the evidence.
Upupupu! Although I've an exciting idea for a Prosecution vs Attorney battle, there's no way to keep a Phoenix Wright-esque element as guaranteeing a suspect's innocence in. I'm thinking of what to do right now with that, but going on with writing out a case that can be solved with just the Attorney's side of play. It just involves me playing prosecution, judge and witnesses, which is a tiresome and thankless job but Monokuma is the hidden hero behind the shadows, combating the poison that kills witches tirelessly! Even without appreciation!
If there's any suggestions to make Attorney vs Prosecution as two player camps work, I'm open to ideas. I already know how to set up witness questioning, but I am stuck on investigations and how to determine a suspect. Especially when people already know the guilty/not guilty status of the suspect. Upupupu!
There is an edit button now you know. The little green pencil thing in the corner of all posts.Last edited at 13/10/25(Fri)17:30:57
Close enough.

You ride the boat back to the mainland. Captain Kawabata sits beside you. If you're good, he says, you might even get to steer the ship!
The sky is a gentle blue and you lean back in your seat. What a soothing boat ride.
"Sorry nothing exciting happened during your stay," the captain says. "But hey, what can you expect with those rich-types? Everything's just a bore to them!"Last edited at 13/09/15(Sun)14:07:00
You remove all the ammo in Rudolf's gun.
"I can't find any gold!"
What happened to the survivors at the chapel?
"Lets check the chapel."
I then go there.
You and Kawabata walk to the chapel.
"Geez, looks like you had a tough weekend. Don't worry, the same kind of things happens when my wife's side of the family comes over. Actually, I remember..."
You're not listening anymore. You can't help but think about the chapel. In a way, it's a bit like that cat-box theory. Without looking inside, the survivors are, in a way, both dead and alive at once.
Will you be able to talk to the survivors? Will Leon still be alive?
Will anyone still be alive? Will you be able to apologize, create reasons for your actions on that night? Will there be anyone left to hear them?
There's no point in thinking about it. You're standing in front of the chapel now. You don't hear anything while you stand in front of the door.
You knock.Last edited at 13/09/22(Sun)17:22:51
"Well, was your experiment a success?"
"Of course," replies Bernkastel. "The two trial games have worked spectacularly. I've learned that there isn't a single competent detective among them."
"Very good. You're ready, then?"
"Yes. I'll be launching my final siege on /seacats/. And none shall survive."
To be continued in Concealment of the Golden Witch.

« You knew it had to happen.... a change had to come! | Main | Shlumpy top tem list »
November 7, 2008
Friday: I am either the Walrus or the Webmaster. Not sure.
Thank you for all the nice people who gently emailed me to remind me, OH YEAH! I have a sweepstakes open to win Drew's book!
Here is a very funny story for you. I spent a little time last weekend updating my anti-virus software and settings on my laptop, which is the same computer that has FTP access to get into my directories and make changes to things such as say... closing the sweepstakes.
And on Sunday when I went into my little laptop to close the sweepstakes, I noticed, OH NO. I can no longer FTP! All of this is very exciting to you, I am sure. Because I am using fancy words such as "FTP" and also at home I was using very many colorful and fancy cuss words. But because I am a genius, I did not connect the dots between the updated superdooper anti-everyone settings on my laptop and the FTP problem all week long! I just assumed my laptop was mad at me and trying to get a one-way pass to the dump. I have run diagnostics, uninstalled and re-installed FTP, used a different FTP client, all to no avail. Then one of the tech guys at work said, "Have you checked your firewall settings?" And I said, "Do I have a firewall?"
And then after some re-adjusting of the alleged firewall I got my access back! Which is awesome because I totally FIXED the problem! Nevermind that I also totally CREATED the problem. The greater achievement is that I could solve a problem created by such a clever technical wizard. Clearly.
Also, next laptop I am so getting a mac.
Congratulations to my three winners: Denise in Irvine, Karen from Virginia and Melissa from lovely Mississippi!
Have a great weekend everyone. Let me know if you need me to come fix ya'lls computers, OK?
