Q and A: Nancy Hebert

Big Fun Correspondent Angie Pitre Pellegrin caught up with Nancy Hebert, co-owner of Workout360, a health club in Terrebonne General Medical Center, to find out about the new gym.
Workout360 used to be on Grand Caillou road right?
Yes. But, we needed to expand. There was only 4,000 square feet and we needed more. Brandon Rhodes came to us with the idea to move here when he started the wellness program here. The hospital really wanted to get this started. The area we are in was the former rehab area. It was vacant for a year, and it just all worked out. We're taking it one step at a time. Our goal is to make everyone feel comfortable here.
What's your membership like?
It's a mix of people of all ages. At this point we're primarily women, but since we've moved, it's starting to even out and more men are joining. We have more than 600 members.
What are your operating hours?
If you can get in the front door of this building, you can get in the gym. Our staff hours are from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and from 8 a.m. to noon Fridays. We are available 7:30-11:30 a.m. Saturdays. We have personal trainers that are a separate fee from the gym itself, and they keep their own hours and charge their own rates. They stay pretty busy.
What type of classes do you offer?
We have 20 spin classes a week. We have circuit training, a cardio-weights class and a kickboxing class. We also have a "Biggest Loser"-like competition going on right now.
Can you tell me about the "Biggest Loser" competition?
Sure. It started with a group of friends and spread by word of mouth. We used to support it by doing fitness classes outside the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center. It just grew from there. You don't have to be a member of the gym to be in it. It's a 10-week contest with a week or two in between, and then starts over again.
So, is it whoever loses the most weight?
No. It goes by percentage of weight loss, not by number of pounds.
Is it an individual or team competition?
This time it's a team of two. The fee is $50 a person, and all the money collected goes back to the winners. We don't make any money on it. It all goes to the participants. We have several levels of winners.
How did this dream of owning a gym come about?
I've been in the gym for 18 years. I've been spinning for 18 years. And I tossed around the idea of owning a gym for a long time. I got turned down a lot. I was doing some personal training with a client and mentioned it to her. She encouraged me to write a business plan. We started small and grew. I worked full-time at Swire Oilfield Services for two years while running the gym. In February, I quit my job at Swire to do this full time.
What can a person expect if they join Workout360?
We keep it fun. We like to learn everyone's names. I have a lot to learn now, but I'm getting there.
What would you say to someone who has a longtime dream that has yet to be realized?
Never give up. Be willing to hear "no" a lot. Be willing to put in the work. Stick it out, and it will happen for you.

Couple engaged along Houma parade route
Published: Friday, March 18, 2011 at 7:42 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 18, 2011 at 7:42 p.m.
HOUMA — Laura Shelton never suspected that when her boyfriend took his first ride on a Mardi Gras float he'd also be popping the big question on the parade route in Houma.
Craig Rotzler, 33, of Virginia proposed to Shelton from atop float No. 17 in the Krewe of Houmas parade on Fat Tuesday by unfurling a poster with the message "Laura will you marry me?" written in green, yellow and purple letters.
"I looked at him and was like, 'What?'" said Shelton, 49, who grew up in Houma. "We've never once talked about this. I immediately said yes, and he dropped down the ring (in box). ... It was sweet and I was just crying. Everything was a blur after that."

Golden Globes 2012: Live Blogging the Show
Ricky Gervais is back for a return stint hosting the Golden Globes 2012. Which actors, producers and directors will leave with awards–and which ones will go home smarting from Gervais's sharp tongue? Early winners include Kate Winslet and "Downton Abbey."
Speakeasy is live-blogging the show. You can follow along and leave your thoughts in the comments.
And we've started. Host Ricky Gervais has arrived. He's come a long way from his days blogging for Speakeasy!
My family and I are watching the "Live on the Red Carpet" special on E! So far, we like Octavia Spencer best. She's been wearing a lot of Tadashi Shoji this awards season. She should continue to do so – the designer knows how to dress her figure.
Actress Morena Baccarin (from "Homeland") made an entrance in a flowing black gown.
Brad Pitt says the cane is "a little bit of an annoyance." Angelina looks striking in her white and red dress, her hair swept up in a bun.
Readers, what do you think of the fashion so far? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
Juliana Margulies says she doesn't expect to win for the second year in a row, for "The Good Wife," though arguably she deserves it again.
Charlize Theron, who has laryngitis, says "I brought my sexy voice." (She looks gorgeous!)
Zooey Deschanel has little tuxedos painted on her nails! She finds out she was voted "Most Liked" on Facebook and seems genuinely surprised.
Paula Patton wears a form-fitting, marigold gown. She does the open-mouthed, Sofia Vergara smile well.
Angelina Jolie has a splash of color! (red on the neckline, offsetting the white.) She's not all in washed-out neutral and draping. Dear Brad Pitt, please cut your hair. I have never found you sexy. I am reminded why this evening.
I know Charlize Theron likes those architectural looks – previous Oscar dresses have included the roses on the boobs, the big bows that looked liked a garbage bag – but I don't get it. My mother says tonight's blushes and bows make her look as if she's carrying her bed pillow. (Is she in Dior?) Sorry, Barbara, have to disagree with you!
Love the contrasting colors of mauvish-purple dress and green earrings on Julianna Margulies.
Margulies, Laura Dern, and Melissa McCarthy have all been in long sleeves, and Michelle Williams is in three-quarter-length ones. I wonder if Kate Middleton's wedding dress gave designers permission to bring back the sleeves. (That said, is Williams wearing drapes in dress form? That purple fabric looks so heavy!)
Who would have thought Jonah Hill would beat Brad Pitt on the red carpet? (They co-starred in "Moneyball")And what's going on with Brad's hair? Maybe for a role?
Looking forward to the new season of "The Voice"! This commercial reminds us it's coming soon. (And Speakeasy will be recapping it, natch.)
Over on E!, Salma Hayek is in Gucci and looks a little like an Art Deco building with the gold and black. Love her blown-out, slightly feathered hair. She is so stunning.
Nicole Ritchie gives props to her hair stylist. "Listen, fashion is from head to toe."
Elton John's sequin sprinkles on his white shirt – only he could pull those off
I'd ask this official from the Hollywood Foreign Press: What's up with some of the nomination snubs? *cough* Melissa McCarthy *cough* Gary Oldman
Seth Rogen's wife, Lauren Miller, may be camera-shy, but Brunson Green blogged about her recently and we have a nice photo of her here.
Evan Rachel Wood shows real confidence on every red carpet. But her dress, with its trail of real feathers, reminds me more of "Black Swan" than "Mildred Pierce" or "Ides of March."
Madonna's chest is smushed in that dress.
Carson Daly incites some mini drama between Elton and Madonna, over who will win in the song category. Madonna keeps it classy, "may the best man win" (you know she's pissed!) I like her "Desperately Seeking Susan" glove.
Viola Davis looks amazing. I love the wine color on her and the coordinated earrings. She makes the short hair looks sassy and sleek.
Mila Kunis, a new face of Dior, wears a one-strapped black chiffon Dior gown. More subdued than her fiery Alexander McQueen at last year's show.
Natalie Portman makes her first red-carpet appearance since the last awards season, in a lovely fuschia sleeveless gown. I wonder if she'd rather be watching at home, in sweats.
Red and pink together has been a trend in the past six or seven months on which I couldn't get behind, until now. Natalie Portman looks gorgeous. Very fresh-faced, very relaxed. I think it helps that it's just a splash of red and the rest is rosy pink.
Just how much gel did Leonardo DiCaprio put in his hair? It looks greasy.
At least Ryan is remembering or someone is reminding him to ask what people are wearing.
Stunning Lanvin gown worn by Emma Stone. My vote for Best Dressed.
Tina Fey is in a color, a rare occurrence. I like the wine Oscar de la Renta (more pink than Viola Davis' shade of wine). I don't love the feathered hair. The ruffles are a source of debate in my home. I'm reminded of some "Sex and the City" creations on Sarah Jessica Parker.
Emma Stone is also in wine. A trend?
Readers, what do you think of the fashion so far? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
The midnight blue Armani Prive (velvet) looks elegant. I like the somewhat-delicate-looking sapphire earrings.
Also in dark blue and sleeves. In the competition of the 60-plus actresses, I prefer Glenn Close. I think Helen needs better cleavage support.
The show kicks off in less than five minutes. Readers, who do you think will be Ricky Gervais' first target?
The Giants game just ended – Big Blue! – so now New Yorkers can tune in to the awards show.
Awkward studio directions come over the live feed. Well, now we know we're live.
That countdown business was a little awkward. Not sure if that was supposed to happen …
"The Golden Globes are to the Oscars are like Kim Kardashian is to Kate Middleton – a bit louder, a bit trashier … a bit more easily bought."
In so many ways, Ricky is the right host for these awards. The right mix of irreverence and awkwardness for an awards show that's essentially a cocktail party.
Ricky Gervais, Golden Globes host (and Speakeasy contributor!) is off to a strong start. The Golden Globes are to the Oscars as Kim Kardashian is to Kate Middleton.
He's already ripped on Eddie Murphy, NBC, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and "Jodie Foster's Beaver."
Unrelated: Will he Tebow tonight?
Ricky's really testing the censors tonight!
Ricky pulling a Kanye on his own show?! Ha!
Ricky asks Johnny Depp, the first presenter, "Be honest, have you seen The Tourist yet?"
Johnny seems to be concentrating deeply on that teleprompter as he introduces "Hugo."
Some stars looked nervous during Ricky's opening monologue. The Jodie Foster beaver joke was blush inducing.
The Globe for best supporting actor in a movie drama goes to Christopher Plummer for "Beginners."
What's weirder: This Mila Kunis and Gerard Butler pairing, or hearing Butler actually speak with his Scottish brogue?
Best supporting actor (film) goes to: Christopher Plummer. No surprise. Look for a repeat on Oscar night.
Gerard Butler and Mila Kunis present the first Golden Globe, Best Supporting Actor, to Christopher Plummer. My personal pick, too!
Christopher Plummer wins the first award of the evening: Best Supporting Actor, for "Beginners." Here's Speakeasy's interview with the actor.
Plummer such an eloquent speaker – gives 21 gun salute to director Michael Mills, and praises "that scene-stealing swine," co-star Ewan McGregor. Touchingly thanks his "fair lady, whose bravery and beauty haunts me still."
Laura Dern wins for best actress in a TV series (comedy) for "Enlightened."
The Golden Globes zig and zag awkwardly between TV and movie. We present a supporting-actor movie award, now we have Ashton Kutcher and Elle MacPherson present a best-actress-television award, to Laura Dern for her work in "Enlightened." She's a former Miss Golden Globe!
Best actress (TV series – comedy): "Enlightened" star Laura Dern, who apparently has quite the track record at the Globes. Did she just thank Lucille Ball and Frank Capra? I guess you have to think outside the box when you're David Lynch's go-to leading lady.
So far, the show is a bit uneven. Ricky is on his game, but the first presentation was a clip montage instead of an award, and then there was that quick jump from movies to TV. Then again, this is the Globes, and drunken staggering is to be expected.
Ah, live TV … another funny miscue.
Awkward pause in teleprompter, three seconds of silence. Julianne Moore reads from a physical script. Rob Lowe recovers well, "when was the last time you did a cold read in front of Steven Spielberg?"
First Downton Abbey, now Kate Winslet.
Now that I think of it, "The Tourist" may have been laughable, but the director is the one behind "The Lives of Others," one of the best films of all time. Sophomore slump?
wow, Kate Winslet wins for "Mildred Pierce" — her third Golden Globe. As always, she seems genuinely thrilled.
Rob Lowe and Julianne Moore struggle while waiting for a teleprompter to introduce Miss Golden Globe, Andie MacDowell's daughter, Rainey Qualley. They're introducing best miniseries or TV movie. "Downton Abbey" wins. Will the show win all four of the categories in which it's nominated, or will Kate Winslet take Best Actress?
Answer: Winslet wins Best Actress, for "Mildred Pierce."
Kate Winslet wins for "Mildred Pierce" but everyone wondered if she'd lose it during her speech as she has in the past. Music was cued.
Yet another montage. How about some awards?
Jake Gyllenhaal (godfather to Michelle Williams's daughter, Matilda), presents "My Week With Marilyn" starring the actress.
Best actor (TV series – drama): Kelsey Grammer. My wife just said: No matter what, "I can't help but love him." (She's a big "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" fan.)
"Homeland" posts a deserving win!
Melissa McCarthy and Paula Patton present Best Actor TV Series Drama (odd pairing of presenters and award) to Kelsey Grammer in "Boss," a show almost no one watches on Starz. I would've expected Jeremy Irons to win for "The Borgias," especially since he just introduced the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
Surprised Kelsey Grammer beat Bryan Cranston for Best Actor in TV Series.
Best TV series (Drama): "Homeland" with a surprising win in an incredibly competitive category. Bah! "Game of Thrones" all the way, in my book.
I love how thrilled Paula Patton is for each of the winners. "Homeland" wins Best TV Series.
Speakeasy recently got some juicy tips on the next season.
"Homeland" wins.
Fashion note: Love Claire Danes' dress, but you see her makeup before you see her.
Between "Downton Abbey" (PBS), Kelsey Grammar for "Boss" (Starz) and "Homeland" (Showtime), HBO has gotten elbowed out in key categories. Kate Winslet for the save.
Best Original Score (Motion Picture) goes to Ludovic Bource for "The Artist."
In the latest use of NBC synergy, Adam Levine and Jimmy Fallon present the awards for score and song. The score is for "The Artist," which makes sense and is no surprise (though I would've preferred Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"). The first list of the night – winners, do not read lists! This is so awkward.
Best original score: Ludovic Bource for "The Artist." This is likely the beginning of a wave of sorts of for "The Artist" tonight. It's rounding into the frontrunner in the Oscar race, as well.
In the Elton vs. Madonna showdown for Best Original Song, Motion Picture, the winner is Madonna.
In a category of heavyweights – Madonna, Elton John and Lady Gaga, Mary J. Blige, Chris Cornell, Sinead O'Connor (in a song with lyrics by "Albert Nobbs" star Glenn Close) – the winner for Best Song is "Masterpiece," by Madonna. No shock there.
Best original song: Madonna for "W.E.," which she directed. The Globes never pass up an opportunity to get a huge star on the stage.
Readers, what do you think of the show so far? Did Madonna deserve the award for best original song? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
Idris Elba wins for "Luther"–actor TV mini-series or movie.
Best actor (TV movie or miniseries): Idris Elba, "Luther." Once again, Stringer Bell gets the best of Jimmy McNulty (Dominic West).
Idris Elba hasn't been recognized nearly enough considering his talent. Good job, HFPA!
Random trivia of the night: Idris Elba produced a track for Jay-Z in 2007? Oh, he won Best Actor, Miniseries or TV Movie, for "Luther," on BBC America.
Here's a story Speakeasy did on Idris Elba awhile back.
Yes, Seth Rogen went there.
Adorably, Jodie Foster puts kids on her lap when her name is announced.
Best Actress, Comedy or Musical, goes to Michelle Williams for "hysterical comedy, My Week With Marilyn."
After an off-color entrance from Seth Rogen about co-presenter Kate Beckinsale, Michelle Williams wins Best Actress, Comedy or Musical, for "that hysterical comedy," "My Week with Marilyn." Another unsurprising win.
Best actress (motion picture comedy or musical): Michelle Williams, "My Week With Marilyn." This was a comedy? Huh? Anyway, consider this yet another indication she'll be in the running for Oscar.
Harvey Weinstein's movies are dominating tonight. Looks like his awards season mojo is stronger than ever.
Readers, what did you think of Michelle Williams win? Her dress? Her hair? Rogen's joke? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
Best supporting actor in a miniseries, series or TV movie goes to Peter Dinklage for "Game of Thrones."
The most-voluminous dresses of the night – I mean, Piper Perabo and Sarah Michelle Gellar – present Peter Dinklage with his award in the Best Supporting Actor, Miniseries, TV Series, or Movie category. Say that category name five times fast.
Dinklage thanks "Game of Thrones" author George R.R. Martin.
Brad Pitt and George Clooney introduce each other's movies ("Moneyball" and "The Ides of March"). Nice touch.
"Moneyball": A movie about a scrappy underdog team tired of losing to the Yankees that turns its fortunes around by revolutionizing the sport … only to lose again to the Yankees.
Best animated feature film goes to "The Adventures of Tintin."
Dustin Hoffman seems bored. Or maybe quietly mortified to have shown up a year early–"Luck" doesn't premiere until later this month.
Best Animated Movie: "The Adventures of Tintin." Perhaps a preview of Oscar night, too? With a weak Pixar entry ("Cars 2″) this year, it may well just be the case.
Spielberg didn't thank Herge, the Belgian inventor and author of Tintin.
Lot of facial hair tonight. Spielberg, who just picked up award for Tintin, was early on this.
Too many montages, not enough Ricky Gervais.
Best screenplay–motion picture goes to Woody Allen for the deserving "Midnight in Paris." Of course he's not there. You have to love Woody. "Come and get it Woody," Nicole Kidman, the presenter, says.
The Globes combine adapted and original screenplay in one category. Woody Allen wins, but of course doesn't show up. He hasn't been to an awards show since the post-9/11 Oscars, when he presented a tribute to NYC.
Coolest married couple in Hollywood: Felicity Huffman and Bill Macy. (Aside from Coen-McDormand, maybe.)
Dinklage used to sing/rap in a largely unknown NYC rap/rock band called Wizzy.
Best supporting actress (TV): Jessica Lange! Her Constance on "American Horror Story" was one of the more delicious supporting turns in TV history.
Is it me, or are there a lot of commercial breaks in this show? I've had time to fold several days of laundry at each break.
Madonna fires back at Ricky Gervais!
"…the Queen of Pop. Not you, Elton." Elton doesn't look amused.
Madonna is happy to give some back, though.
"A Separation" from Iran wins for best foreign language film. Here's the story we did this morning.
Best foreign-language film: "A Separation," from Iran. This film has topped many critics' best-of-2011 lists. Readers, have any of you seen it yet? If so, what did you think?
"A Separation," WSJ's pick for best movie of 2011, wins Best Foreign Film. Though it's a big hit with critics, I'm a bit surprised because I thought the allure of writer/director Angelina Jolie, for "In the Land of Blood and Honey," would be too tempting to resist.
We just spotted Brunson Green, producer of "The Help," on TV. Brunson has been blogging for Speakeasy, "Awards Show Confidential."
Madonna essentially called Ricky a girl.
Claire Danes wins for best actress TV series drama for "Homeland."
The Golden Globe for actor–TV series or musical goes to Matt LeBlanc for "Episodes."
Emily Blunt's introduction to "Bridesmaids" marks the third time in this show someone references pooping in their pants. People who haven't seen the movie are going to think that's all it's about.
The Golden Globe for best supporting actress in a motion picture goes to Octavia Spencer from "The Help."
Octavia Spencer is an old friend of "The Help" director Tate Taylor and producer Brunson Green. She's a favorite now for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar.
Best supporting actress (motion picture): Octavia Spencer, "The Help." No surprise here, either. Spencer is also widely considered a front-runner for the Oscar in this category. It's hard to see anyone knocking her out of that top spot at this point.
A shout-out from Spencer to our awards-show blogger, Brunson Green!
Tangent: Enjoying "Smash" promos in which NBC is "introducing" Katharine McPhee, an unknown talent who was a runner-up on an obscure talent contest called "American Idol."
Beautiful touch: Octavia quotes Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the day before MLK Day.
Readers what do you think of the show so far? Is there enough Ricky Gervais? Can you ever really have enough Ricky Gervais? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
I can't wait for "An Idiot Abroad: The Bucket List." Come to think of it, I'd love to read Karl Pilkington liveblog the Golden Globes.
Sidney Poitier presents the Cecil B. DeMille Award to Morgan Freeman. It's the first standing ovation of the night.
Standing O for Sidney Poitier.
Helen Mirren does the best she can with really unfunny lines. It's a tribute to her skills as an actress that she's gamely trying to sell this stale material. Freeman deserved better from the writers.
They have clips from his time on "The Electric Company" in 1974! (Along with his performances as Mandela, God, the President, etc.)
Chris Tucker is getting more screen time than one could have reasonably expected coming into tonight.
It'll be hard to match the amount of class on the stage right now. Mirren, Freeman, Poitier. Legends all.
Morgan Freeman's voice also had a cameo in The Descendants.
Morgan Freeman says he'll think of the Cecil B. DeMille Award as the "Sidney Poitier Award."
How long until #BenKingsleysLap starts trending?
As Morgan Freeman gets big award, Elton John who seemed pissy all night smiles and camera pans to young woman frolicking in Ben Kingsley's lap.
Martin Scorsese wins for "Hugo." Not sure this was an upset – "The Artist" has won lots of awards, but I feel as if this will be a year where the Best Film and Best Director split at the Oscars.
Ricky gets beeped–and Antonio Banderas answers him in Spanish.
Martin Scorsese gives a shout-out to "Invention of Hugo Cabret" author Brian Selznick.
Best director (motion picture): Martin Scorsese for "Hugo"! The Globes love Marty, so this isn't too surprising. At this point, you have to think Scorsese is in good shape to make another run at the Oscar, even though "The Artist" director Michel Hazanavicius could ride a potential wave to a win.
Best TV series (comedy): "Modern Family." By the way, thank you "Modern Family" for giving us a lot more Sofia Vergara.
Hilarious bilingual comedy in that acceptance speech.
Michelle Pfeiffer comes out to introduce "War Horse" in a midnight-blue dress. Is this the new black for women of a certain age?
Jean Dujardin wins best actor in a movie (comedy) for "The Artist." Here's a story we did on him.
It's kind of funny, you expect Jean Dujardin not to speak.
Jean Dujardin wins for "The Artist," no shocker there. That said, I think Best Actor at the Oscars comes down to the same two people it probably will come down to in the Best Actor Drama at the Golden Globes: George Clooney vs. Brad Pitt.
His film "Contraband" led the box office this weekend, but Mark Wahlberg did not seem happy to be up there.
Can't help but love Ricky Gervais's roast of Colin Firth – "he's racist. I've also seen him punch a little blind kitten."
First Ricky Gervais gets beeped–and now Meryl Streep!
Ricky makes a joke about Colin Firth being racist, and NBC cuts to the cast from "The Help." Jeez.
Best actress (motion picture – drama): Meryl Streep, "The Iron Lady." This is another tough category. It wouldn't have been a surprise if Viola Davis from "The Help" won. This sets up an interesting showdown for the Oscars.
King George VI presents the Best Actress, Drama, Golden Globe to Margaret Thatcher. Meryl Streep is bleeped out – not exactly the person you would expect to curse.
And even Meryl Streep gets played out by the music.
Readers, what do you think? Should Meryl Streep have won over Viola Davis? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
They had the gall to play Meryl Streep off the stage?
Streep and Viola Davis starred in "Doubt" together, which is why she blew her a kiss and called her "my girl."
Rooney Mara loses. Ah well, the Mara family still had a good day thanks to uncle John Mara's New York Giants upsetting the Green Bay Packers.
Best motion picture – comedy: "The Artist." SHOCKER! Just kidding. The silent wonder rolls right along.
And the dog upstages everyone in "The Artist."
My favorite character in "The Artist," the Jack Russell terrier, is on stage!
"The Artist" wins, and Uggie the dog comes to accept the award, too.
For the makers of a silent movie, these "Artist" folks sure like to talk …
A double will do 80% of Natalie Portman's presenting.
Clooney picks up best actor (motion picture drama) for "The Descendants." He makes a crack about Michael Fassbender's many frontal nude scenes in the movies last year.
Best actor (motion picture – drama): George Clooney, "The Descendants." This is another category that could have gone either way. The Oscar will likely, as my live-blogging colleague Lisa Reynolds said earlier, come down to Pitt and Clooney.
The winner for best motion picture drama goes to "The Descendants."
Here are some stories on "The Descendants" to get you up to speed.
'The Descendants' Shailene Woodley Responds to Her Golden Globe Nomination
Kaui Hart Hemmings on Her Unexpected Windfall With 'The Descendants'
George Clooney Wants to Earn Your Emotion
Alexander Payne's first film in seven years, "The Descendants," wins Best Motion Picture. It was a lovely turn for Clooney.
Best motion picture – drama: "The Descendants." A somewhat surprising pick. I thought for sure they'd got for "Hugo" here because of their love for Scorsese. A three-way race is shaping up for best picture at the Oscars between "The Descendants," "The Artist" (the frontrunner) and "Hugo," although I think "The Help" still has a good shot at shocking everyone.
Ricky Gervais gives a tame sendoff. Was he clamped down from last year?
Thanks for reading!
Show's over, folks. Could have used a bit more Gervais, but everyone else stepped up their game when it came to bawdy humor.
I had a good time. Did you?
Good night!

Skip to comments.Candy Crowley Not in Cahoots With Obama; He and Axelrod Used Her
Posted on 10/20/2012 1:07:11 PM PDT by Kaslin
The Wall Street Journal's James Taranto on Thursday offered a plausible explanation for why President Barack Obama, during Tuesday night's debate, felt confident he could count on moderator Candy Crowley of CNN to back him up on how he had uttered the phrase "acts of terror" the day after the Benghazi attack.
On her CNN State of the Union show back on September 30, Crowley interviewed David Axelrod and during that segment she was as incredulous as Mitt Romney was at the debate that Obama had initially referred to "acts of terror" in any relationship to Benghazi.
In "Was Candy in Cahoots? Almost certainly not. Occam's razor suggests Obama took advantage of her," Taranto postulated in his October 18 "Best of the Web Today" column:
Here's what almost certainly happened: After the interview, Axelrod, or someone else from the campaign, called Crowley's attention to the White House transcript. She read the relevant portion and conceded that Axelrod was right: Obama had called the attack an act of terror. As we wrote yesterday, such an interpretation was reasonable, although it was a matter of opinion because the Presidents statement was ambiguous. Obama was briefed on all this during his debate preparation.
If this surmise is correct, then Crowley knew about the "acts of terror" Easter egg hidden in Obama's Sept. 12 speech, and Obama knew she knew. Romney did not know and was as incredulous as Crowley had been, because the administration had spent weeks peddling the claim that the video dunnit. Obama brought the matter up expecting incredulity from Romney and backup from Crowley. She therefore unwittingly played her role in Obama's little ambush of his opponent. She was just clarifying the facts – or so Axelrod & Co. had led her to believe.
As noted in the MRC Media Reality Check by Rich Noyes, "Candy Crowley Aids Obama With 2-to-1 Liberal Agenda & Validation of Libya Falsehood," Crowley on her CNN Sunday program State of the Union on September 30, "hit Obama advisor David Axelrod on exactly this point: 'Why did it take them [the White House] until Friday [September 28], after a September 11 attack in Libya, to come to the conclusion that it was premeditated and that there was terrorists involved?'"
Axelrod retorted: "Well, first of all, Candy, as you know, the President called it an act of terror the day after it happened."
"Crowley wasn't buying what Axelrod was selling," Taranto recounted in citing the Septenber exchange highlighted by Breitbart.com's Tony Lee: "'First, they said it was not planned, it was part of this tape. All that stuff....didn't the administration shoot first? Didn't they come out and say, listen, as far as we can tell, this wasn't preplanned, this was just a part of' – at which point Axelrod interrupted her."
Not in cahoots? So why did she cut off the Fast and Furious discussion right on queue?
Oh, I see!
And that must have caused her to interrupt Mitt every time he tried to make a statement.
There are some people in this world who simply have no shame..........and a lot of them seem to be in the media.
Spin city.
I wonder if Candy Crowley and John Candy were related.
If she's too stupid to realize she's being a puppet, why does anyone think she's smart enough to report the 'news'.
Right I believe that. I always carry papers given to me weeks before with me at all times...like her's from 9/30 . She had the transcript right at hand. Good thing she keeps it with her.
Candy just WANTS to be used. It's a dirty business, I'm sure she feels the same.
This account is an outrageous rewrite of what really happened!
If any reasonable, logical person views the 5+-minute video of the President's Rose Garden statement, listens to the inflections, and uses ordinary common sense, he/she will come away with the conclusion that he was not calling the Benghazi attack a "act of terror."
Crowley either did not do that, or she was complicit in promoting a lie.
Remember when the President once claimed that "words matter"? Crowley asserted on The View that it was "a semantic thing." No, Crowley, it was not a "semantic thing." It was a "truth thing."
She ate him.
The alternative explanation offered is not better....
Candy Crowley was STILL a plant.
In several different senses of the word.
As long as no one has a video clip of Candy Crowley saying, "Hi everyone! It's great to be here! I'm thrilled to be in Cahoots, Iowa with the president on this momentous day!" So long as there is no such explicit statement from Candy, I guess no one can says she is in Cahoots.
She may not have been buying what Axelrod was selling, but she was more than accommodating when Obama yelled 'get the transcript.'
She became part of the debate, rather than being an impartial moderator.
All better now.
They just can't admit they used a fat chick.
I can see 0bama riding a Moped.
She should sing a song from the fifties.
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Her having a copy of the transcript shows it was a set-up.
As usual, our side "wins" afterwards when the deed is done and the sheeple are no longer paying attention. D'uh!
I guess they are still talking about this fat bitch and her obvious attempt to help the Fraud in the debate.
'I am not evil, I am just stupid!' One sorry arse defense for the indefensible.
Cahoots, conspiracy, collusion! Why can't you people see that it's none of that, that it's what even a liberal I spoke to last night admitted - a conspiracy of minds, and that is much, much worse!
Sorry Meat---- it was Schnitts idea.
And their destruction as their ratings tank below water level.
You are welcome. Thanks for another great post. I believe James Taranto is correct. 0bama and Axelrod did use her, but she was she was willing to get herself used
Not buying.
I like James Taranto, but in order to buy this theory you have to disregard the entire context of the rest of the debate. Candy cut Romney off on Fast and Furious, and that answer was pertinent to the question. She selected questions which generally were hostile to Romney, and the one questioner potentially detrimental to 0bama was actually asking a question that was a perfect setup for the pResident to say what he wanted to do in a second term. Though that questioner appeared hostile (and probably was) the inquiry itself was a "soft" question. That 0bama did not hit it out of the park is a testament to the fact that he has no plan for the next four years except more anti-Constitutional executive orders, more debt, more welfare, more food stamps, more disability, more economic cronyism and of course more golf and more vacations for Mooch and her daughters.
It also ignores the fact that she repeatedly cut Romney off, and granted 0bama more time; now covered with a pathetically lame excuse that 0bama "talks more slowly."
I am truly amazed at the circling of the wagons around the collaborationist press here, even by columnists and hard news people who are supposed to be objective or conservative. In its totality, her debate performance was a clear, shocking violation of professional conduct and the rules of the CPD.
Stop with the excuses.
Oops that should be she was willing to let herself get used
Talk about a "war on women"--if Obama and Axelrod did this, then the feminists should find such an action toward one of their own "offensive," to use a word from the President himself!
Before I get responses, please note the sarcasm intended in my last comment!
She will go to the dance with anybody, and lay down easy.
BS. This wit knew what was going on.
Oh PLEASE!!! James, why are you covering Candy's wide arse??? She had thetranscript because Adolph Axelrod GAVE it to her and I'm SURE he HIGHLIGHTED that part for her!! How else could she put her finger on it so fast???
Crowley helped censor any discussion of both. She needed time for women inequality issue to help Obama with " war on women" campaign
Obama Lied, Crowleys Cred Died
In particular, this passage is very good:
But facts that the president knew almost immediately, or even prior, began to trickle out, eroding the ground under his deception: There had been no protest at all in Benghazi. Al Qaeda was active in Libya. England had removed its diplomatic personnel for that reason.
There had been several threats and attacks aimed at the consulate and ambassador. He feared for his life. He requested additional security. The assault was sophisticated, well executed, and probably aimed at seizing intelligence about American activity in the area. State Department and almost certainly White House staffers watched the attack in real time from posted video monitors.
The truth now in plain sight underscores the presidents failures of policy and leadership. Until Benghazi, he could boast of a hopeful Arab Spring, winds of reform in the Middle East, advancing peace, and al Qaeda on the road to defeat. Those happy talking points lie in blackened shards.
Obie was trying to hang on to his one accomplishment; al Qaeda died with Usama bin Ladin
It was a set-up, but how did they know Romney would refer to that phrase? I think there's a mole in the Romney debate prep - or maybe he needs to work in a shielded room that has been swept for listening devices.
So she wasn't a corrupt moderator, just stupid. That makes it better. [/sarc]
John Candy in drag (apologies to Mr. Candy)
al Qaeda, Boko Harem, pirates from Somalia, AQIM, al Shabaab, AQAP,
and Ansar al Sharia were (conveniently) provided
15,000 MANPADS by Obama and the DNC
For plausible deniability, Operation 'Wind Zero',
using Sean Smith and the two retired SEALS,
executed by the company and State Department
tracked this "loss" (planned transfer to al Qaeda
from Obama's American Caliphate) and
produced a 'kill list for drone strikes.
This was apparently not approved by Al Qaeda in Libya's ringleader,
Abu Sufian Ibrahim Ahmed Hamuda bin Qumu,
who was employed by Hillary Clinton and
Obama-the-Undocumented, and
was released from Gitmo to Qaddafi in 2007.
The SECOND 911 Atrocity was Hussein Obama's October Surprise
which got a little out of hand.
Yeah, they were married, making her Candy Candy.
On October 31 she becomes Halloween Candy......
Doesn't Barry refer to himself as being "I, Candy"?
So know she isn't complicit, she is just stupid.
I hope she took the morning after pill.
Yes, he does.
To me he's Oy Q'andy.
I went back and edited the transcript to align with the exact video timing of Øbama's interruption ("dog whistle") and Crowley's intervention. Here is the termination of Romney's "Fast and Furious" remarks:
ROMNEY: Id like to understand who it was that did this, what the idea was behind it, why it led to the violence, thousands of guns going to Mexi- OBAMA: Candy? can drug lords... CROWLEY: Governor, Governor, if I could, the question was about these assault weapons that once were once banned and are no longer banned.
BINGO! (See # 48...)

When I contacted him about my suit, I explained that I had multiple repairs on a brand new vehicle (19 to be exact) over a two year period. I sent him all my work orders and documents detailing the repairs as well as warranty info etc.. After 4 months with absolutely NO RESPONSE from Mr. Simanovsky, I did some research only to find that the acting attorney for Texas was someone else, a David Lilley. I then contacted that attorney to tell him that I would be filing a complaint with not only the Georgia state bar, but the Texas state bar as well. Within 5 minutes, Mr. Simanovsky called me back to tell me that in hindsight (after we had already signed a contract 4 months earlier) that my case had no real merit and that he could not help me. He then stated that he would "refer" my case to someone else. In all that time, this was the very FIRST time he had bothered to return my calls or e-mail ONLY to tell me that he could not help me.
After that phone call I contacted another attorney to assist me and they informed me that the deadline to file my Lemon Law suit had already passed ~ during the time Mr. Simanovsky had my file. Not only did Mr. Simanovsky fail to disclose that fact to me, but he out and out BLATANTLY LIED about my case by telling me that it no longer had any merit.
I then filed a complaint with the Georgia State Bar to try to get the matter resolved. At which point he hired an attorney and offered me less than one third of what my original suit was for to "settle" with me. Since then we have gone back and forth for almost a year and still NO SETTLEMENT, ONLY CONTINUAL DELAYS AND STALLING TACTICS.
If you are considering hiring a law firm to help or assist you with your Lemon Law suit, I beg of you, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, DO NOT USE THIS FIRM!!! The lemon you own will fall apart before you ever receive any assistance or relief from this charlatan.

My mom told me that they charged for the warranty, she is in the process of seeing if it can be removed.
Projectorlampcenter is ripping customers off for charging for a warranty that is already covered by the manufacturer. Its not the money its the principal. So if you buy anything and they offer an extended warranty, do your research.

A trio of Dow stocks decorated their dividends last week.
On Monday, payouts took off at aerospace manufacturer Boeing, BA -0.5639945856519777% Boeing Co. U.S.: NYSE USD132.23 -0.75 -0.5639945856519777% /Date(1472245217898-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1925831 AFTER HOURS USD132.2 -0.03 -0.022687741057248734% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 47909 P/E Ratio 24.31771369721936 Market Cap 82488507829.723 Dividend Yield 3.2972850336534827% Rev. per Employee 599808 More quote details and news » with a 10% boost (Barrons.com., Dec. 18, "Boeing Can Gain Altitude"). The new quarterly common payout will be 48.5 cents a share versus 44 cents, for a current yield of 2.6%. It'll put an additional $136 million or so in investors' pockets annually. Dividends, which have been paid without interruption since 1942, had leveled off at 42 cents for three years before climbing to 44 cents last December.
In another move, the company, which is the world's second-largest maker of commercial jets after Airbus, is resuming stock repurchases. It plans to spend between $1.5 billion and $2 billion on buybacks in 2013. The program will pick up the remaining half of a $7 billion authorization from October 2007 that was halted in early 2009 because of delivery delays on Boeing's 787 Dreamliner.
Boeing credited the two actions to "strong cash generation, consistently solid core operating performance, and a positive growth outlook." Moody's said Boeing's debt ratings will not be affected. Russell Solomon, a Moody's senior vice president and its lead Boeing analyst, expects "increasing amounts of free cash flow -- currently anticipated to be north of $3.5 billion in 2013, net of another $1.5 billion in pension contributions -- will be generated as a very robust order backlog transitions to higher delivery rates over the next several years."
A Dow industrials component, Boeing (ticker: BA) trades close to its 52-week high of $77.83, which was set May 1. Both Standard & Poor's and Jefferies rate the stock Buy, with price targets of $88 and $87, respectively.
In his Dec. 10 article "Looking Beyond the Patent Cliff," Barron's senior editor Jack Hough noted that pharmaceutical giants Pfizer PFE 0.1438021282714984% Pfizer Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD34.82 0.05 0.1438021282714984% /Date(1472245239555-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 18599181 AFTER HOURS USD34.86 0.04 0.11487650775416428% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 172779 P/E Ratio 30.8141592920354 Market Cap 211205995756.332 Dividend Yield 3.4462952326249283% Rev. per Employee 534076 More quote details and news » (PFE) and Merck MRK 0.8504492939666238% Merck & Co.

Pfizer, the world's biggest drug maker, took a step in that direction last Monday, sweetening its quarterly common distribution by two cents, to 24 cents a share, its fourth consecutive annual enhancement. The increase, which gives the stock a current yield of 3.8%, is worth an additional $589 million to holders yearly. Pfizer has paid dividends without a miss since 1901. Chief Executive Ian Read said the payout hike mirrors the company's confidence in its business and its focus on total return to shareholders. Pfizer is priced close to its 52-week high of $26.09, reached Oct. 18.
With its cholesterol-lowering agent Lipitor, the best-selling drug in history, off patent since November 2011, Pfizer is looking for new drugs to pick up the slack. It has received FDA approval for its rheumatoid arthritis remedy, Xeljanz, which analysts have predicted could be a big seller. Another promising drug is Eliquis for stroke prevention.
At the Schwab Center for Financial Research, Brad Sorensen, director of market and sector analysis, has been concerned about utility stock valuations as investors chased the relatively higher yields the shares offered. But after a recent bout of selling, he thinks "the traditionally defensive utilities sector could attract renewed investor interest after the start of the year as fixed-income yields remain low." What's more, "an improving housing market could result in an increase in electricity needs in developing areas."
Against that backdrop, Dominion Resources D -1.9674711437565582% Dominion Resources Inc. (Virginia) U.S.: NYSE USD74.74 -1.5 -1.9674711437565582% /Date(1472245320446-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 3159085 AFTER HOURS USD75 0.26 0.3478726251003479% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 84657 P/E Ratio 23.28348909657321 Market Cap 46936718658.4473 Dividend Yield 3.7463205780037465% Rev. per Employee 731837 More quote details and news » (D), a Dow utility and one of the largest producers and transporters of energy, last Tuesday raised the bar on its dividend payout ratio, to 65%-70% from the 60%-65% set two years ago. As such, Dominion expects to announce a first-quarter dividend of 56.25 cents a common share, up 6.6% from 52.75 cents, marking the company's 10th consecutive annual hike and a 63% increase in its payout since 2006. Uninterrupted disbursements date back to 1925. At a current price of about $52, the new dividend would make for a 4.3% yield.

you missed the cutoff time for same day deposit. This would make the deposit effective Monday. You should know about cutoff time since you work for a bank. The big question is why aren't you using direct deposit?

CRM and GDP
February 17, 2016
I was gobsmacked when I read this in Robert Gordon's The Rise and Fall of American Growth: The U.S. Standard of Living Since the Civil War: "Electric light, the first reliable internal combustion engine, and wireless transmission ... were all invented within the same three-month period at the end of 1879." It's a book full of surprises emanating from an analysis of major inflection points.
Fiorina's Presidential Road Not Taken
February 15, 2016
One of the most amazing and frustrating things about this year's U.S. presidential race is that no one learned Obama's lesson on how to make effective use of technology to win an election. It was a powerful lesson, too. Largely using a mix of analytics and social networking, a young inexperienced politician was able to roll over the anointed candidate for his party.
Marketers Make Customer Experience More Personal
February 11, 2016
Marketers this year will ramp up their efforts at personalization, getting a 360-degree view of customers and improving the customer experience, and they will leverage multiple strategies, tools and solutions to do so, a study released Tuesday by the CMO Council found. Deploying digital analytics and life cycle management tools will take the lead, followed by personalization platforms.
How Analytics Could Upset the Presidential Frontrunners
February 1, 2016
Given all the campaign drama, there was little else on my mind when I started to write my column at the end of last week. The also-rans really didn't understand how suicidal Trump's comments were about fans supporting him even if he shot someone in New York. Also, Clinton's use of a nonauthorized BlackBerry revealed what she really thought of the Obama administration.
AOL Buys AlephD to Boost Publisher Support
January 26, 2016
AOL on Monday announced that it has agreed to purchase AlephD as it ramps up efforts to boost its key assets: its global content brands, millennial-focused over-the-top content, original video content, and programmatic advertising platforms. AlephD's algorithms focus on publisher analytics and price floor optimization. They let publishers control and optimize inventory pricing and packaging.
How Trump Wins: Master Manipulator, Meet Analytics
January 25, 2016
Given President Obama's success in the last two elections, I was convinced that we would see a major emphasis on the use of analytics in this election season. It seemed that Clinton, in particular, would have been drawn to it after Obama used it to defeat her in the 2008 primaries. Although some of the PACs have embraced analytics, I haven't seen a similar effort on the part of any candidate.
FTC Issues Regulatory Warning on Big Data Use
January 20, 2016
The Federal Trade Commission is extending its regulatory reach to the e-commerce impact of big data. For years, the FTC has asserted vigorously its authority to apply existing consumer protection laws to emerging developments in the IT realm. Now it is signaling that it will apply that same vigor to big data under the regulatory authority it possesses through the FTC Act and other laws.
Apple Loses Track of News App Traffic
January 13, 2016
Apple this week revealed that technical difficulties with its News app have led the company to underestimate usage figures for the more than 100 publications offering content through the software. The company discovered an error in the app that's resulted in underestimating the number of readers using the software, according to Apple's Eddy Cue, who said the company is fixing the problem.
Vendor of the Future
January 13, 2016
I spent part of last week listening to presentations about the customer of the future, and of course it made me think. As usual, I didn't think in a straight line. As you've heard from me before, customers are still the human beings that walked out of the ice age 10,000 years ago or even the Cro-Magnons of 35,000 years ago. It takes geologic time to observe changes in a species.
Taxpayer Advocate Blasts IRS' Planned Customer Service Revamp
January 8, 2016
The Taxpayer Advocate Service has released its annual report to Congress. Among other things, it warns that a five-year plan to revamp IRS operations may result in a substantial reduction in telephone and face-to-face interactions with taxpayers. "TAS has been left with the distinct impression that the IRS's ultimate goal is to get out of the business of talking with taxpayers," the report states.
Surprise Success: What to Do When Sales Go Through the Roof
December 22, 2015
Success is a good thing. Sometimes, however, surges in orders and sales cause headaches for e-commerce companies. The key is to expect the unexpected. Planning ahead can help ensure that sales spikes are handled as smoothly as possible. "It's never too early to start planning for growth," said Marg Hyland, founder of Pegeen. "You need to be prepared."
Year-End Intelligence
December 16, 2015
There's always an aphorism about Santa, stockings and year-end funding news, but I am tired of them so I'll let you imagine one. However, the funding news is so good from so many sources that I thought it worthwhile to mention a few items -- there are patterns emerging. First, Salesforce bought MinHash. That's not a funding event proper, but it does provide some modicum of cash to the founders.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2016 Focuses on Intelligence
December 3, 2015
Microsoft this week released Dynamics CRM 2016 in CRM Online and on-premises versions. Built-in intelligence is a key feature of the package, which is available in 130 markets and 144 languages. It leverages the Cortana Analytics Suite's advanced analytics and machine learning capabilities. Intelligence "is important because it's an idea that's current," observed analyst Denis Pombriant.
How Technology Could Prevent Another Paris-Like Attack
November 30, 2015
What I find fascinating is that with all of the focus members of the intelligence community place on violating our privacy, they still aren't able to stop attacks like the one in Paris. Currently they are complaining that it is our fault for implementing encryption that blocks their often-illegal views into citizens' personal lives. I think that even if encryption didn't exist, they still would be ineffective.
Surveys Reveal Lax Mobile Security Among Federal Workers
November 18, 2015
The use of mobile devices provides significant benefits in convenience and workplace productivity. However, two recent reports indicate that U.S. government workers often ignore security protocols associated with mobile IT. The Office of Personnel Management hack revealed earlier this year drove an effort to address federal IT security. That effort largely has bypassed mobile device security.
Report: Botnets Help Bump Cyberattack Attempts by 20 Percent
November 17, 2015
ThreatMetrix last week reported that it had detected and prevented more than 90 million attempted cyberattacks in real time across industries from July to September. The attempted attacks covered fraudulent online payments, logins and new account registrations, and represented a 20 percent increase over the previous quarter, according to ThreatMetrix Cybercrime Report: Q3 2015.
Sales and Marketing Sentiment: Feeling Is Perception Is Reality
November 16, 2015
About a year ago, I conducted a survey that led to my company's first-ever Sales & Marketing Sentiment Study. The idea was to get inside the heads of people in sales and marketing and reveal their feelings about the way they worked, the technology they used, and about each other. We split the results into sales and marketing responses and compared them.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Ventures Into Machine Learning
November 10, 2015
Microsoft last week revealed some new details about Dynamics CRM 2016, emphasizing functionality designed to empower customer service agents. It will be released in both cloud and on-premises versions in Q4. It will be available as a standalone application or as an add-on to Office 365. "This is a big release for Microsoft," said Nucleus Research's Rebecca Wettemann.
DJI Plants Ubuntu Brain on Drone
November 3, 2015
DJI on Monday unveiled a high-performance embedded computer running Ubuntu 14.04 for use in its Matrice 100 drone. The Manifold supports CUDA, OpenCV and ROS, and it is compatible with third-party sensors. It lets developers connect a variety of devices -- including infrared cameras, atmospheric research devices, and geographical surveying equipment -- to the Matrice 100.
Using Tech to Fix the Horrid US Political Debates
November 2, 2015
I watched with interest last week's Republican debate and realized very quickly that whatever that was on my TV, it sure as hell wasn't an actual debate. The idea is for us to be able to compare the qualifications and positions of a variety of candidates and then make a more informed choice -- but if every candidate is asked a different question, then how do we compare the answers?
Qualcomm Unveils Muscle Camera for Surveillance Systems
October 28, 2015
Qualcomm on Tuesday announced a muscle video camera for surveillance systems. Part of the company's Snapdragon 618 IP camera platform, it combines a six-core, 64-bit processor; next-generation graphics crunching; and embedded digital signal processing. The unit can perform advanced video analytics, which can reduce cloud processing and storage costs provide more reliable analytics, Qualcomm said.
Federal Investment in Big Data Applications Heads for Liftoff
October 22, 2015
U.S. government agencies appear to have gotten the memo: Big data is good for you. The acquisition, storage, processing and management of large chunks of information will drive the use of big data technologies, according to a survey of federal IT managers. To accomplish those goals, federal IT managers increasingly are seeking the support of the private sector.
MIT Machine Does Big Data Analysis the Human Way
October 20, 2015
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology last week announced they had developed an algorithmic system to analyze big data that eventually might replace humans. The system, called the "Data Science Machine," designs the feature set and searches for patterns in big data. The DSM's first prototype was 96 percent as accurate as the winning submission by a human team in one competition to find predictive patterns in unfamiliar data sets.
Federal Agencies Warming Up to Big Data
October 15, 2015
It just makes too much sense. Big government can function much better if government agencies take advantage of the benefits of big data technologies. Given the perception that governments operate on a bias favoring the status quo, it may come as a surprise that U.S. government agencies are slowly but surely embracing the adoption of big data innovations.
Amazon Casts Its Net on the Internet of Things
October 9, 2015
Amazon on Thursday leapt into the Internet of Things market with the announcement of its AWS IoT platform. AWS IoT lets devices -- ranging from cars and turbines to sensor grids and light bulbs -- connect to services from Amazon Web Services. That in turn allows companies to store, process, analyze and act on the mountains of data generated by connected devices.
Vertical Ventures
September 29, 2015
I'm always looking for emerging trends at Dreamforce, the kinds of things that are hiding in plain sight. They might never amount to much, but given that it's Dreamforce, many likely will bloom. A case in point is the emergence of vertical market CRM. Its time is now because application development tools have become so good, and because customers need fast, budget-friendly deployments.
Salesforce IoT Cloud Makes Thunderous Debut
September 15, 2015
Salesforce has launched IoT Cloud, an Internet of Things offering designed to connect billions of events with Salesforce, which the company says will help its clients' bottom line. IoT Cloud is powered by Salesforce Thunder, the company's new massively scalable, real-time event processing engine. "Salesforce is turning the Internet of Things into the Internet of Customers," said CEO Marc Benioff.
When Data Breaks the News
September 15, 2015
Google is putting a new spin on the news. Instead of relying on journalists to gather facts and report events the old-fashioned way, the company's News Lab, launched earlier this year, aims to deliver news stories through data. Case in point: Who needs polls to reveal that Donald Trump is the most popular candidate in the Republican primary free-for-all?
The IoT's Data Prioritization Pearl
September 14, 2015
The era of digital transformation and the digital business, the customer experience as a key differentiator, and the movement toward smart machines are some of the common themes Gartner Distinguished Analyst Don Scheibenreif touched on in his keynote last week at the Gartner Customer 360 Summit in San Diego. These are all phenomena that have been on their way for a little while -- like a glacier.
The Tyranny of Spreadsheets
September 10, 2015
As a former sales and marketing guy, I am more than familiar with spreadsheets as a not-so-good tool for managing the avalanche of data generated by the front office, even before the big data craze. Name a department or function in business and it's easy to find people using spreadsheets to manage it -- often poorly, but through no fault of their own.

Three Fish Finders in a Tubb LbNA # 66744

|May 23 2015
|Hike Distance
Hi there friends,
We are new to this activity, and are having fun looking for letterboxes. It's our goal to find at least 15 letterboxes this year, and to place at least 15 letterboxes. We have found 3 so far, and this is the first one we've placed. Hope these clues are clear enough for you.
Drive, bike, run or walk to the 13th Street parking lot of Tubb's Hill. Follow the paved trail. On your left you'll pass a green building that looks kind of like a 2-story outhouse. Coeur d'Alene Lake, where we spend many hours "fishing" during the summer, is on your left. After you pass the wooden break-water on the left, take the first trail that heads down towards the lake.
You will go over a rocky outcrop, now stay to the left of two crooked trees. You will see 3 boulders that are all about the same size lined up in a row. Now look straight at the big condos, then make a 90 degree left turn. You will be looking right at a big boulder near the water. There will be a large white house in the distance.
You're very close to the Fish Finders in a Tubb letterbox. All you have to do is make a 180 degree turn and look for a rock that is shoved between the exposed roots of a small Ponderosa Pine tree. You should find it behind that rock.

Consistent, durable and hardworking were the hallmark descriptions of a 21-year career for George Armstrong in the National Hockey League, all with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Armstrong joined the Blue and White full time in the 1952-53 season and captained Toronto to their four most recent Stanley Cup championships in the 1960s.
Armstrong played in 1,187 career games for the Maple Leafs, which is the most games played in franchise history while serving the longest tenure of any captain in team history from 1957 to 1969. His club record for seasons played with the Leafs, 21, was spread out over parts of four decades beginning in 1949. The right-winger is among the Maple Leafs all-time leaders in many statistical categories ranking sixth in goals (296-tie), sixth in assists (417), fifth in points (713), and 19th in penalty minutes (721). Over his long career, he collected 15-or-more goals in a season 11 times.
Armstrong played in a Maple Leaf team record 110 playoff games, during which time he accumulated 60 points (26 goals, 34 assists), including 22 points over six Stanley Cup Final appearances. The strong two-way performer was regarded as a player that would deliver in key games and many fans will fondly remember his empty-net goal that sealed the 1967 Stanley Cup victory over the Canadiens.
Armstrong played with the Toronto Marlies in the late 1940s and, later, after his playing career, he coached the team to Memorial Cup championships in 1973 and 1975 before accepting a scouting position with the Quebec Nordiques in 1978. "Chief" briefly coached the Maple Leafs (47 games in 1988-89) after joining the team's management and scouting department in 1988. Armstrong's dedication to the Maple Leafs can be measured by his 50-plus years of service with the hockey club as he continues to scout amateur players throughout Ontario for the Maple Leafs.
In the long history of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Armstrong is among a select few gentlemen to be saluted with a banner to honour his sweater number and also a statue along Legends Row outside of Air Canada Centre.

8 Simple Rules for Babysitting the President's Daughter
X-tina's been stripped of all good-girl pretense, and Britney's now the queen of the shotgun annulment. Hilary, Ashley, and Mary-Kate are still girls. This leaves Mandy Moore as the Noxzema-cleanest not-yet-woman next to Kelly Clarkson. With Chasing Liberty, she adds to her charm bracelet of conservative movie gems including the Christian apologia A Walk to Remember and How to Deal, with its anti-choice subplot (next: the pregnancy-themed Saved). Now we get a would-be screwball that celebrates personal freedom while winking toward Patriot Act-style parental control.
Dew-kissed Moore is Anna, a likable Babs or Jennathe daughter of Clinton's successor. After security ruins one of Anna's dates, she makes Dad (Mark Harmon) promise that in Prague, where they'll be for the G8 (Pops will discuss "how best to distribute our technology to developing countries"awww!), he'll let her go clubbing. Security ruins that too, cutting short a rocking cameo by the Roots with Cody ChesnuTT. She hits the cobblestones on the scooter of Brit photographer Ben (Matthew Goode), but as we soon learn, though Anna does not, Ben's on Dad's payroll, assigned to let her experience "freedom." Proceed with several countries' worth of Moore chastely skinny-dipping, bungee-jumping, and bugging Ben for some real secret service (duty prevents him, almost).
Moore's lip-glossed petulance never catches fire with Goode's canned drollery. Plus, all romantic rhythm is scuttled by frequent omniscient check-ins with worried Daddy back in WTO-land, and a subplot featuring bumbling secret agents (Jeremy Piven and Annabella Sciorra), who aren't given anything fun to bumble. Our central twosome meets some unsavory characters, but Anna's companion has more than usual interest in her safety. His professionalism and devotion deliver her from the bad, bad Berlin Love Parade, back to the safety of her clean, white house. Yes, we eagerly await Pieces of April pout queen Katie Holmes's upcoming First DaughterPieces of Liberty, anyone?

Borehamwood eruv 'imminent'
There was mixed news this week for the Orthodox community in Borehamwood over the establishment of a local eruv, enabling observant Jews to carry or push items on Shabbat.
Although the eruv poles have now been ordered, local campaign leaders warned that "a few hurdles" had still to be overcome, three months after the project was given the green light by Hertsmere Council.
"It is imminent," promised a spokesman for the eruv trustees this week, albeit without giving even an approximate date for the eruv becoming operational.
"There are only minor issues holding up completion and we hope to have these sorted out as soon as possible. Many of the problems have arisen through having to deal with so many different authorities, as well as individual landowners."
In the latest update to the community, the delay in ordering the poles was attributed to negotiations with a contractor having taken longer than anticipated.

When Vince McMahon finally steps back.....
.....how do you think it will go down??
What I'd like to see happen is Vince comes out, invites out HHH and Steph, everyone assumes he's going to sign over the WWE to them but he announces that what he feels is best for the WWE right now is competition. So while HHH and Steph will be left Raw, as his last act as chairman he has left Smackdown in the hands of this man.......Here comes the money!!!!! Dolla Dolla!!......Shane walks out with a big smirk, HHH and Steph look shocked.....Shane announces it's good to be back, and he has an announcement of his own ...introducing the new GM of Smackdown and the man who's ideas and vision are gona make Smackdown the greatest Wrestling show ever......Paul Heyman!!.
Vince announces next week on Raw there will be a draft, and it won't be a draft lottery, the leaders of Smackdown and Raw will get to chose who they want on there Brand with Raw getting the first pick. Ends with Heyman and Shane looking excited, HHH and Steph looking like they can't believe what just happened.

Does this look familiar to you? A tub of blocks, dumped out all over the floor?
This constantly happens in our house. Any tub of toys gets dumped out in its entirety. Blocks are very common to be strewn about the floor.
And this time it happened while I was trying to get dinner on the table and it was right in the middle of our foyer. To entice the boys to pick them up, as well as keep them busy while I was cooking dinner, I made it a little game for them.
Transport the blocks from being strewn about all over the floor into baskets that I set out in two different places, one for each of the boys to fill.
I tried to make it a competition to see who could get their basket filled with blocks first, but my kids aren't quite to that stage yet.
Instead, they surprised me and worked together. Filling up the baskets with blocks together.
They both used a dump truck to transport the blocks from the mess on the floor to their baskets. But the baskets weren't at a good height to just dump the blocks into.
George ended up dumping the blocks on the floor only to pick them up again and put them into the basket.
Henry managed to make the dump truck work and lifted it up to dump the blocks into the basket.
Either way works for me!
Once they filled up the baskets, they were to dump them into the block tub and then fill up the baskets again with more blocks.
Why this additional step to picking up the blocks made it more interesting, I'm not sure. But it worked.
Henry even got fancy in his block hauling.
He lined up the blocks by color (at least to start out with!). He was pretty proud of this and called me over to check it out before he dumped it out.
Are your kids 'dumpers'? Do they dump out every tub of toys you got?
What are you tricks to getting the kids to pick up their toys?
Or, how else do you manage all the toy chaos?
We like hauling blocks! Henry does it quite often.
