So I have this "friend"…
Posted by ryan
This "friend" works for a large multi-national… *dining* conglomerate. Said conglomerate recently invested a bunch of money in a local major league soccer… arena and now the arena is named after the dining company. They've even got a web site up at <company name>arena.com.
Now this company is in the middle of a hostile takeover attempt by a rival dining company and some regulatory hurdles have vanished in the past week that are making the takeover look all the more likely. It's quite probable that if the takeover does happen <company name> will change to <takeover company name>.
My "friend" being extremely "smart" thought it would be a good idea to buy the <takeover company name>arena.com domain this morning because it was early in the morning and the domain name was available. (He also has a domain name buying problem but he won't admit it.)
Is this "friend" going to get sued out of existence?

Knee cap swelling
Common Questions and Answers about Knee cap swelling
Hi...I fell hard on the sidewalk on my right
and I immediately had
and a large amount of fluid on top of the kneecap. I was not able to bend my knee at all. I elevated it for several hours and put ice on it. I tried to get up and my right foot turns dark blue and the veins stick out and start to swell immediately, the swelling i n the knee returns immediately even though it goes down a little bit with elevation and I still can not bend it.

I fell directly on my right knee cap on monday, Pain started immediatly and some
as well. I also noticed that it feels like either the
or behind it is poping and grinding when I walk or move it. I had an x ray done and it was fine. They gave me a brace, motrin and pain meds. The brace helps b/c with it on my knee won't pop or crack. My question is should I have any furthers tests done like an mri or are these symtoms just going to go away with time?

hi.. i am a female 22 years old.i had a
dislocation 2 month ago. the doctor said i had my MPF torn and i have been in braces for 1 month and now i'm on rehabilitation. My question is that how long will it takes until i can walk as normal again? now i can walk without crutches but very slow and sometimes the knee tends to bend more while im walking.So i use 1 crutch to support me. Is there any possibility that i had torn my ACL? Is it normal that the knee is still swelling?

The bursa is a thin lining of tissue that sits in front of the patella(
). There are bursae in many areas of the body, wherever a tendon attaches to a bone superficially. When you fell, you caused bleeding into the bursa, this caused the swelling and eventual bruise like appearance. First, you should have an Xray, to be safe, and make sure you didnt actually fracture your patella.

I have been experiencing problems with my
for the last 3 months. It keeps
then it subsides for some time then the swelling resides again. After consulting the doctor when the problem started, i was told that it could be probably due to my weight or the family planning method i am using. The x-rays showed some fluid around the cap of the knee and the fluid was probably not water. I was given some antibiotics and the selling went down but after some time it began again.

I have yet to ask my doc about this and plan to in a couple weeks at a checkup, but my
is definitely bigger than my other one! There is no
, no soft tissue surrounding it, but you can really tell and even measure that the knee cap is wider than its counterpart?? When looking at it is very square and boxy, my other knee is very "pointy" or "knobby" and they used to look the same, Any ideas what is going on and if it will ever get back to normal?

She woke up yesterday with a Swollen bump under her
that is the size of 1/2 her
. The top of it has a spot on it that looks like she scrapped or burned it like a rug burn. Says when she presses on it, it burns/hurts. Hurts to bend but only because of the skin being pulled. Obviously I told her to go to the dr tomorrow to get checked out which she is. She has been iceing it.

Swelling of the glands has gone away, so have the other symptomms, except for prickly skin condition. ESR is a 1. CBC normal. NHL? RA?

They went up the stairs, and so did this monter. Climbing/Crawling as fast as I could up the stairs, the top of my
(Patella? area) of my knee got "caught" (slammed into) the curve of the next step up. It felt as though my knee cap slammed downward towards my shin/ankle area. A loud POP sounded and my knee instantly went numb and within about 6 seconds looked as though it had 3 ounces of liquid piling up in it. Within about a minute, a bruise was visible.

Hi, I have recently injured my
with a frontal hit to the
against a door. I had little pain and only a slight swelling the next day, but nothing too noticeable. However, every time I bend my leg now, I can hear (and feel) a soft grinding sound. I have had XRAY's done but everything was O.K.. Could this mean that I may have caused some damage to the knee cap, like the cartilage under it? I have had a mosaicplasty done on this same knee before. Thank you for your time.

This happened a few other times throughout the week, sharp pains when I bent my knee. The sharp pains have stopped but I'm left now with constant pain. My
and area above the
cap are swollen and stiff. I can't walk well and have a lot of pain when bending the knee, like getting up and down from a chair. Recently my calf started hurting upon walking. At times, the calf hurts more than the knee.

In September, I underwent umbilical hernia repair surgery. In the recovery room, during extubation, my airway collapsed and I spent 24 hours in ICU. Approximately three months later, my left hand and arm swelled enormously. A trip to the ER and IV steriods, antibiotics and Zantac started bringing the swelling down (hand and arm returned to normal after a day or so). Two weeks later, I was taken to ER (by ambulance) when my airway swelled shut.

I've had right
for 10 months. Several monthe ago, I went to see 2 rheumatologist which one doctor said prepateller bursitis and the second doctor ran a HLA-B27 blood test which came back negative. I finally went to an orthopaedic doctor and he aspirated the fluid in my knee cap which was clear and he gave me a shot of cortizone. The x-ray was ok. The following day when I took off the bandages, I've noticed it was still swelling but not as bad.

This happens due to a lot of force put on the
after surgery as the
gets used to the new implant. The rubbing and pressure results in cyst formation. Other causes of pain after knee replacement can be infection, improper alignment of the implant and poor blood supply. A complete evaluation is needed to determine the cause. The cyst can get absorbed or it may need to be drained. Please consult your doctor regarding this. Take care!

He did an ultrasound and drew off some more fluid and gave him another cortizone shot. The first doctor drew the fluid from under his

He has trouble getting up if he has to get down on the ground for something. We are not sure what to do now because both doctors has told him all his test look fine.

WOW his hands are high
2014 Bay Area player of the year:
http://hssportsdaily.com/bay-area-ba...-casey-soltis/The Oregon commit had a season to be remembered at Granada. Soltis completed his senior season with a .353 batting average, totaling nine triples and four home runs along the way. His power wasn't the only trait that he carried on the field as he also finished with 13 stolen bases. He lead the East Bay Athletic League in home runs (4), runs (27) and slugging percentage (.729). ESPN rates Soltis as the 95th overall MLB draft prospect, which takes places this Thursday through Saturday. He is projected to go in the top five rounds.
so seems like he got drafted a bit on the low end, wonder if he'll be a tough sign with the Oregon commit

really like what I saw from the MLB video, looks like the stance was tweaked a bit and looks like he can move, plus I'm a sucker for lefty outfielders

WHILE the fourth phase of voter registration has begun in some areas around the country, figures from the Fijian Elections Office show 554,566 voters have been registered so far.
Elections supervisor Mohammed Saneem said 86,277 people registered in the Northern, 23,0612 in the Central, 211873 in the Western and 24,180 in the Eastern divisions.
Mr Saneem confirmed 1624 Fijians living overseas also registered.
He said with their estimates in 2012, the voter registration started with a projection made from the 2006 census, that there would be about 600,000 to 620,000 Fijians over the age of 18.
"So we are now in a morph up phase, we expect many people who have not yet registered to turn up."
He said the fourth phase of registration would also allow voters to correct their registration details if they had made a mistake while registering.
Meanwhile, registrations are ongoing in the Western, Eastern divisions and in Rotuma.
Voter registrations in Kadavu, Lau, and Lomaiviti will begin next Wednesday.
The Elections Office will send out 10 teams to these areas to register those who want to vote.

By Jody McCutcheon
New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art recently hosted its annual Costume Institute Gala. After discovering this year's theme was punk, I struggled mightily to reconcile seemingly dissonant concepts, vis à vis "Met Gala" and "punk." Predictably, I failed.
It was inevitable, really, the appropriation and exhibition of punk subculture. Early punk subculture, that is. Because that's the endearing—sorry, enduring—image: leather and studs, spiky hair and sneer. Oh, did I just describe Sid Vicious? No, that would be the fashion industry describing Sid Vicious, not long after Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood, the first pair to realize the commercial value of punk, dressed him and the rest of the Sex Pistols in London, circa 1975.
While Westwood and McLaren have been hailed as the two of the 'founders' of punk, what they actually did was latch onto an existing rude, crude, anti-establishment movement, and converted into into what would eventually become punk's ready-to-wear, stock images.
The defining quality of the punk subculture, a staunch Do It Yourself ethos, underlines punk's earliest incarnations, which were musical, and perpetrated largely in America in the mid-to-late 60's. Bands like the Voidoids and the Stooges could barely play their instruments, yet they delivered music that was engaging and potent and above all honest. If they could get up on stage and bash out their ecstasies and frustrations, anyone could.
Music, record labels, 'zines—punk subculture did everything itself, fuelled by people fed up with hippie culture, bloated rock scores and inflated concert prices; a demographic that felt marginalized, bored and devoid of meaningful cultural currency. Clothing especially epitomized the DIY ethos. Recycled, deconstructed, repurposed, fashion was a way for people to reinvent themselves, as Richard Hell famously proclaimed. Some of the sartorial expressions—fetish leather, ripped clothes, spiked hair—later found their way to London with McLaren, who visited New York City twice in the early 70s, mingling with the New York Dolls and later with Richard Hell.
And so began the English appropriation and devaluation of punk subculture. According to John 'Johnny Rotten' Lydon, "Malcolm and Vivienne were really a pair of shysters; they would sell anything to any trend that they could grab onto." And sell they did. Their shop, SEX on the King's Road, was the boutique for wannabe punks.
Scenester Zandra Rhodes soon followed with her Conceptual Chic designs, consisting of torn dresses in black, pink and bright red, accessorised with chains and jewelled safety pins. The came the true fashion luminaries like Versace, Rei Kawakubo, Rodarte, and even Karl Lagerfeld, all of whom have since followed suit in appropriating punk's aggressive discord. As Dylan Clark eloquently states, "the 'bad boy' has been reconfigured as a prototypical consumer."(1)
One can even say the Green movement has reached the mainstream fashion industry. Household names such as H&M, Puma, Edun and Vero Moda are rated highly by Rankabrand for their strict sustainability policies, for example, and even luxury brands like the Gucci group have grand plans to become completely carbon neutral by 2016. And of course this is all excellent—for the planet, and for the planet's countless communities fostering a growing understanding of interconnectedness. The genuine appropriation of green values to mainstream culture can only amplify their importance, which is a good thing for us all.
The anarchic, anti-social rebelliousness of punk movement, on the other hand, was completely neutralised by its incorporation into mainstream media, music and fashion. When popsters like Avril Levigne are sold as 'punk'; when uber-bourgeois Chanel starts showing 'punk' clothing on the runway; when mohawked teens become a quaint London tourist attraction (as they are in Camden Market), you know the movement is truly dead .
Which brings us back to that potent symbol of centricity, the Met Gala.
The Gala was actually for the exhibition of: PUNK: Chaos to Couture, at the Costume Institute. The stated objective of the show, outlined in the $45 book about the exhibit, is to demonstrate "punk's enduring influence on high fashion." With tickets for the event at $10,000 per person and with most guests attending the event in clothing that cost at least the same amount, it seems that what the book calls "haute couture's appropriation of punk's avant-garde ideology" couldn't be further from the truth–the show's emphasis is clearly very heavy on designer fashion and very light on the punk's "avant-garde ideology". This dichotomy is literally illustrated in the exhibit's book, which juxtaposes original DIY punk outfits with the eye-wateringly expensive couture pieces they inspired.
So exactly how did the the Costume Institute's exhibition and the ensuing Met Gala get punk so wrong? Well, maybe it's because fashion is inherently exclusive, and punk is naturally inclusive; or because a punk-themed Met Gala carries the stench of a hegemonic hunter proudly displaying the trophies of trapped, extinct animals. Or perhaps it's because the Met Gala represents money. And there is certainly no 'punk' in money. But as the culture and fashion industries have proven, there is still plenty of money in punk.

The other day I had an interesting discussion with several of my Twitter friends. During the course of the discussion one of them made a comment that Twitter was not sending enough work their way.
Afterwards, I thought about the comment and realized that some writers may not really understand how to find work through social media. Yet, I know from personal experience that social networking is effective for finding writing projects. What's the disconnect?
In this post, I'll discuss some reasons why social media may not be yielding leads for writing jobs.
My Real-Life Examples
I thought it would be helpful to start out with some real-life examples of how I've found work on the Internet. Here are my examples:
- Joe Smith–I first encountered Joe Smith four years ago on a social media tool called MyBlogLog. Joe quickly became a regular commenter on this blog (and I left regular comments on his blog). In that time, we came to respect each other's abilities. After about a year, we agreed to refer some of our overload writing work to each other. I've sent several projects Joe's way and I grossed several thousand dollars from one of the projects Joe referred to me. Over time, we've kept in touch with each other using at least three different social media tools as well as through email and our blogs.
- Sally Jones–Sally was one of the first people to leave a comment on my blog posts. Sally's comments were always insightful and detailed. She made a point to connect with me on multiple social media tools, which we used to have real conversations about some of our mutual interests several times a month. After three years of staying in touch like this, Sally found herself in charge of several very large writing projects and needed to hire subcontractors. Naturally, I was one of the freelancers Sally contacted.
- Mike Williams–Mike read one of my blog posts here and sent me an email with some questions. I sent a very detailed answer back. Mike was surprised at the detail in my answer and offered a small writing project to me right away. He was satisfied with my work on the small project, and has offered me many writing projects since. Mike and I continue to stay in touch, mostly through Twitter direct messaging, and he continues to offer me work and encouragement.
(Please note that I've changed the names in my examples to protect my friends from getting a flood of emails from writers looking for work.)
Of course, these are just three examples of how I've connected with others online and how those connections eventually turned into paying gigs. I could name at least a dozen other similar examples.
You're Making Friends and Work is Just a Side-Effect
One reason that some writers don't find work through social networks is because they skip the crucial step of building a relationship. They target an individual, or share their job hunt in a general fashion, but they never connect with anyone on a personal level.
To really succeed at networking a relationship is vital. From the relationship comes trust and sometimes that trust leads to work. Your main goal should be to make friends and the work will most likely follow.
I should also mention that, while I seek out and connect with those who have similar interests, I don't push anyone to hire me. In fact, most of the time I'm not really sure if the person I'm connecting with will ever have work for me.
Some online connections never lead to work–and that's okay. I still find those online friendships to be invaluable. It's great to have a trusted colleague to discuss things with and learn from. My online relationships have encouraged me more than I can say.
However, I should also share that I don't connect with those who I don't have anything in common with. For example, I have very little interest in following celebrities, nor could I ever see myself as a celebrity blogger. So, even though social media is filled with those who love to chat about celebrities, I don't involve myself in those discussions.
The Tool Doesn't Matter
In light of what I just shared with you above, I'd like to go one step further and say that the tool that you use to connect with others doesn't really matter. In fact, connections don't even have to be made through social media as long as you are connecting with someone. You could use your phone or email just as well.
Personally, I like to use Twitter for several reasons:
- It's convenient. It's easy to use and there are not a lot of complicated features to learn.
- It's popular. Twitter has a large number of users who discuss areas that are of interest to me.
- It's instant. The direct messaging feature is a quick way to communicate directly with someone.
However, if you are more comfortable connecting through another tool–by all means, use that tool instead. It's not the tool that matters, but the quality of the relationships that you build.
Patience Is a Virtue, Especially in Networking
The final reason that some writers don't find work through social media is because they aren't patient. I chose the examples above for a specific reason. I wanted to show that, athough sometimes people hit it off quickly, in most cases it can take years to build a working relationship online.
In fact, the instance I gave above where I connected quickly with a colleague/client has been the exception.
What's Your Take?
What's your experience on social media networking? Is it a waste of time, or a great way to make connections that can sometimes lead to paying work?

ink on paper | 2010-present
With the technology of today it seems physical travel is being replaced; we no longer need to move from our computer chairs to have an immediate travel experience. Potentially one can simply log onto Google Maps and explore new territory in the non-tangible realm. Within the plethora of knowledge some of it becomes irrelevant or useless (such as walking directions from Vancouver to San Francisco, as programmed by Google Maps- which takes 12days and 2hrs without stopping).
'Walking Directions' explores Vancouver's location and our relationship to it, physically, as well as through the online sphere. It is a gesture, which has potential for the possible journey but also a sense of futility in that the actuality and success of such a journey would be very low.

The End of the NRFP
By Greg Thelen Hello, everybody. It's me, the actual writer of all of these joke articles on the NRFP. I'm sad to say that this is end of the road for the NRFP. There will be no more stories after now. This fake news site started out as an idea to expand the world of Amanda Green, SIA. Back in 2012, I had big, grand ideas for that comic and how to flesh out that… Read More

Downloading and installing ns-2
NS-2 is designed to run from on most UNIX based operating systems. It is possible to run NS-2 on Windows machines using Cygwin. If you don't have a UNIX install, you can also use a virtual linux machine and run that under Windows. VMWare has a free VMWare Player that allows you to download linux systems like Ubuntu and run them on your computer. You will need to make sure you have standard development packages like 'make' and 'gcc'.
If you are a beginner on Ubuntu7.04, try this page:Installing_ns2.31_on_Ubuntu7.04
Installing NS2 on UNIX Based System
Ok, you've got a development ready UNIX system. First, download a copy of ns-allinone-2.34.tar.gz. Then from the command prompt there, execute the following:
tar -xzf ns-allinone-2.34.tar.gz cd ns-allinone-2.34 ./install
(If this fails, try the Distribution Specific instructions)
After a long wait and a whole lot of text, you should see the installation finish up with text like the following:
Nam has been installed successfully. Ns-allinone package has been installed successfully. Here are the installation places: tcl8.4.11: /home/pcraven/ns-allinone-2.29/{bin,include,lib} tk8.4.11: /home/pcraven/ns-allinone-2.29/{bin,include,lib} otcl: /home/pcraven/ns-allinone-2.29/otcl-1.11 tclcl: /home/pcraven/ns-allinone-2.29/tclcl-1.17 ns: /home/pcraven/ns-allinone-2.29/ns-2.29/ns nam: /home/pcraven/ns-allinone-2.29/nam-1.11/nam xgraph: /home/pcraven/ns-allinone-2.29/xgraph-12.1 gt-itm: /home/pcraven/ns-allinone-2.29/itm, edriver, sgb2alt, sgb2ns, sgb2comns, sgb2hierns ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please put /home/myusername/ns-allinone-2.29/bin:/home/myusername/ns-allinone-2.29/tcl8.4.11/unix:/home/myusername/ns-allinone-2.29/tk8.4.11/unix into your PATH environment; so that you'll be able to run itm/tclsh/wish/xgraph. IMPORTANT NOTICES: (1) You MUST put /home/myusername/ns-allinone-2.29/otcl-1.11, /home/myusername/ns-allinone-2.29/lib, into your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. If it complains about X libraries, add path to your X libraries into LD_LIBRARY_PATH. If you are using csh, you can set it like: setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH <paths> If you are using sh, you can set it like: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<paths> (2) You MUST put /home/myusername/ns-allinone-2.29/tcl8.4.11/library into your TCL_LIBRARY environmental variable. Otherwise ns/nam will complain during startup. (3) [OPTIONAL] To save disk space, you can now delete directories tcl8.4.11 and tk8.4.11. They are now installed under /home/myusername/ns-allinone-2.29/{bin,include,lib} After these steps, you can now run the ns validation suite with cd ns-2.29; ./validate For trouble shooting, please first read ns problems page http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-problems.html. Also search the ns mailing list archive for related posts.
At this point, you should follow the advice here and update your environment variables. You should also add ns-allinone-2.29/bin to you path. This has links to all the executables created by NS-2. Since the Tcl scripts may call these executables (like nam or xgraph), it is a good idea to have them in the path.
You can test the installation by doing the following:
cd ns-2.29 ./validate
Note that this validation takes a really long time. If it starts out ok, you probably have a good installation.
At this point, you can see Getting Started with NS-2 .
Installing NS2 on a MacOS X / Intel Based
I've tried to install ns2-allinone-2.29.3/.2 onto an intel mac based system. After some problems during the compile phase, the simulator part (ns) seems to be fully working. Nam, instead, got some strange errors, related to Xlib. In my knowledge, this strange behaviour is related to some changes to api part of Xlib into macos/intel version. Attached is the error, that i've when try to run nam onto my mac intel based.
tengu:~/Desktop/ns-allinone-2.29/nam-1.11 valvoline$ ./nam Xlib: sequence lost (0x10006 > 0x9) in reply type 0x0! X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 1 (X_CreateWindow) Resource id in failed request: 0xa Serial number of failed request: 6 Current serial number in output stream: 9
After read and debugged the ns-allinone-2.29.3 sourcecode, i finally realized that the problem about running nam onto Intel based Mac, is related to some weakness into Tcl/Tk Library. Seems that for some strange reason the Tk part of the above library is broken in I386 systems. Unfortunately, there'snt a patch or a workaround for this problem, yet! if you're interested you can check [1] and [2], for further infos.
So, nam seems to be working (?) at least on PPC based systems. To make nam working onto my MacPro (Intel Based), i patched the package ns2-allinone-2.29 in order to use some libraries compiled for PPC and others compiled natively for I386 archs. With this solution i can run the ns part of the simulator (the most important one), natively onto MacIntel without Rosetta-Limitations, and the nam part too, thanks to Rosetta Interpreter.
Obviously, this's an hybrid and not so clean solution. However, at the moment is the only one to make the package working 100% onto a MacIntel.
I've packed'em all into an auto-installer package. You can download it here.
NOTE: you need to install xcode developer tools (with X11 SDK), otherwise you'll get some errors about libX11.

As the famous Ferris Bueller's Day Off movie quote goes, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Despite always being on the go, I think I did a pretty good job carving out time for amazing food, time with friends, plus other adventures and experiences in 2012. From playing tourist in my hometown, to channeling my inner Martha Stewart, to personal and professional travels, here are 12 photos which celebrate 2012 and a little background behind them.
The first photo (see above) comes from The Mapparium. It's the perfect example of how I still have so much to discover in Boston, despite living here for so many years. In 2012 I finally went in and really enjoyed in. For more information, check out this great blog entry I found from a family that visited. The Mapparium tour is six dollars for adults and four dollars for children.
2012 was also a fantastic year for bargain shopping. From a few trips to Wrentham Outlets south of Boston, to working the deals and steals in the city, I enjoyed a number of great new pieces in my wardrobe, including this lovely LBD from BCBC for $29.
There were also some surprises in 2012. After walking through the Copley Place Mall in Boston one day, I snapped a few photos of Louis Vuitton's archery inspired window display and wrote up a blog entry, as it was seemingly timed with the release of The Hunger Games. Little did I know that a writer for Wired.com's Geek Dad blog would link to my blog entry, sending and good amount of traffic to my blog (thank you!).
Another great theme of 2012? Baking! I love experimenting with new recipes and different types of baking. For example, the recipe above is vegan, meaning that there's no meat, eggs, dairy, etc. The recipe is from one of my favorite blogs Oh She Glows, which is worth a read, whether you're vegan or not. For more info on the recipe, click here.
I shouldn't admit that I even possessed one of these devices in 2012, but the sad reality is that I did. I had a Blackberry and was waiting for iPhone at work, so I kept the little flip phone activated for nights/weekends. Don't fret, now I'm all iPhoned out, on Instagram and I wouldn't have it any other way. And, now my friends have one less thing to tease me about.
There's nothing like a hearty, yet healthy salad. I continued to experiment with my salad repertoire in 2012, whipping up colorful, satisfying salads in 2012. This one featured spinach, feta, carrots, peas, edamame, fresh raspberries and grilled chicken in a homemade dressing of whole grain mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, maple syrup, salt and pepper. Want more salad inspiration? Here's three more recipes I shared on the blog in 2012.
My brother got married in 2012 and as part of the wedding, I made a slide show of old photos. I found the photo above that I had never seen before of yours truly and my brother. I can't believe how cute we were – and I also cannot believe you ever threw out those awesome sunglasses Mom. Seriously….:)
Over the summer, I spent an incredible long weekend in Edinburgh before heading down to London. One of the highlights of my trip was seeing the stunning interior of St. Giles Cathedral. It doesn't look like much on the outside, but the inside was breathtaking. I was also there while the choir was practicing, which was something I'll never forget.
On the theme of travel, I also enjoyed another first in 2012 – walking across the Brooklyn Bridge. I was going to NYC for a girls' weekend and purposely went early in order to check this one off of my bucket list. It was definitely worth it and I took so many incredible photos.
While I love to travel, I also cherish taking long walks and exploring my home base, Boston. The above was snapped during a stroll down Marlborough Street. There's nothing I love more than taking a long walk and discovering small, yet beautiful moments to capture.
I spoke at five social media conferences in 2012, with LeWeb Paris being the grand finale in December. It was such an honor to be asked (the producer had heard me speak in London in 2011) and I enjoyed every moment of it. In addition to meeting leaders in social media and technology from all over the world, we enjoyed a special cocktail reception with the Prime Minister of France, Jean-Marc Ayrault, an exclusive preview of the Thomas Hopper Exhibit at The Grand Palais, and more. Here's a link to my talk if you're interested.
Last, but certainly not least, was my 30th birthday on December 17th. What better way to cap off an amazing year than with a milestone birthday?
Final Thought
Between trips throughout the United States and abroad, to personal and professional achievements, there was no missing out in 2012. The above is just a small snapshot of the amazing moments throughout the year, both large and small. As we look to 2013, the new year has big shoes to fill!

HONG KONG, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Hedge funds posted positive returns for a seventh consecutive month in January, with Japan-focussed managers leading gainers, Singapore-based fund tracker Eurekahedge said on Wednesday.
Hedge funds globally rose 0.06 percent, while Japan-focussed funds gained 1.26 percent, making it the best performing hedge fund region in the world, comprehensively outperforming the 0.1 percent gain of the benchmark Nikkei 225 Index .N225 in January.
Asset flows into the industry were positive for a seventh consecutive month, with investors allocating a net $3.39 billion, helping the industry grow to $1.68 trillion.
"Although January is usually a slow month for asset flows, the excellent returns posted by hedge funds in the last quarter of 2010 and improving macro-economic fundamentals have led to strong interest among investors to allocate to hedge funds," the firm said in a statement.
European managers led asset growth with net capital inflows at $3.06 billion. Emerging market hedge funds saw smaller outflows on the back of profit-taking, Eurekahedge said. (Reporting by Nishant Kumar; Editing by Chris Lewis)

- Andrew Weaver signed Ealing's Cinema 2017-01-07 18:43:02 +0000
Petition: Give priority to Ealing's Cinema and open it as soon as possible
Petition to the new owners of the Ealing Cinema site: St George.1,093 signatures
Unfortunately the Ealing Cinema site has been sold to another developer AGAIN. In August 2016 it was announced that the site had been sold by Land Securiites to St George PLC, the developers of the still-unfinished Dickens Yard development.
Cllr Jon Ball said:
"Ealing residents demand that a new cinema is built as soon as possible, after this sorry saga of delay after delay.
"I have concerns about St George taking over the site. I have sought assurances that St George will be going ahead immediately to implement the Filmworks development that Land Securities planned."
Ealing has been without a cinema for almost a decade, and this is the second time the site has changed hands because the developer has decided not to start construction.
Will you sign our petition to the developers St George?
We the undersigned call upon Michael Bryn-Jones, Managing Director of St George PLC to make the construction of the already planned Filmworks scheme a priority, and to open the new cinema as soon as possible.
Note that the original petition text was "We the undersigned call upon Michael Bryn-Jones, Managing Director of St George PLC to make the construction of the already planned Filmworks scheme a priority, announce a completion date, and provide reassurances that there is still interest from Picturehouse Cinemas to run the venue."

The US hardware integrators System76 have unveiled their latest laptop, the Bonobo Extreme. According to Carl Richell, founder and CEO of System76 this all new laptop is the world's fastest laptop that runs on Ubuntu. The laptop is an absolute delight for the gaming lovers and it actually lives up to its name, extreme. Let us have a look how.
The large 17.3 inch backlit of the display immediately grabs your attention. It is a full HD screen that makes working on the laptop an absolute delight. The base model of the laptop is powered by an Intel quad core 2.4 GHz i7 3630QM processor that can be upgraded to a 3.00GHz i7-3940XM Extreme processor by paying another $530.
One thing that will allure the gamers towards the extreme is the dedicated NVidia GeForce GTX 670MX with 3GB of DDR5 RAM and 960 CUDA Cores included in the base model. If that doesn't excite you enough then you can upgrade it to a GeForce GTX 680M with 4GB of DDR5 memory and 1344 CUDA cores by paying $134 extra. The keyboard is also backlit that makes working on the laptop during the nights easy. The click pad has rubberized palm rests that makes working a comfortable experience.
The Extreme has an 8GB of Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM that makes it extremely fast. When it comes to storage, the 500GB SATA II hard drive is –cell enough to store all your data and run high-end games. It also has an 8x Super-Multi drive. The 8 cell battery ensures that the laptop runs for long. The 2 megapixel camera lets you get in touch with your loved ones face to face. The Extreme offers a number of connectivity options that include Bluetooth, WI-FI, and Ethernet. The Extreme has 5 USB ports that include one USB 3.0 port too and a HDMI port. It also has a Display Port outs that enables you to connect it to other device like a projector. Apart from that, it has a memory card reader and fingerprint lock.
The dimensions of the laptop are 16.5 x 11.54 x 1.55-1.96 inches. The weight of Extreme can be a big turn-off if you are looking for something light. It weighs around 3.9 kg or 8.6 lbs. that makes it big and bulky. One cannot carry it around in their backpacks like the other laptops. However, with such specifications and performance one can compromise a little with the design. Also, one gets a Targus clamshell case with the laptop from System76 and that too for free.
Looking at the above features and specifications, Bonobo Extreme seems to be a perfect alternative for your desktops. But with great specifications comes along a great price tag and extreme is no exception. The base model is priced at $1499 and that too after a $100 discount as a Christmas promotion offer.
If you are interested you can check out the System76's website for full specifications and their current offers!

Texas A&M Football: Aggies in Need of Great Fall CampAugust 9, 2012
The Texas A&M football team, led by head coach Kevin Sumlin and the rest of the staff, is busy preparing for its inaugural season in the Southeastern Conference. This fall, camp is more important for A&M than for any other team in the SEC.
Texas A&M has played tough schedules before. In 2011, the Aggies faced two top-five teams in Arkansas and Oklahoma State, and five teams who ended the season ranked in the top 25.
The 2012 schedule features three teams in A&M's division who are ranked in the top 10.
The Aggies are going to face five teams who are ranked in the top 25 of the preseason coaches poll. A&M will play nine teams who played in bowl games in 2011.
The Aggies need to get prepared physically and mentally for the gauntlet that they are about to face. It is imperative that the Ags stay healthy throughout camp.
Every other team in the SEC, save Missouri, knows what to expect from the grind of playing in the toughest league in the country. Missouri will play in the SEC East in 2012, which is expected to be a much weaker division than the West.
The A&M football team will embark on a new journey into uncharted waters. The Aggies need to use these preseason practices to prepare as well as they can.
The defensive line is probably the position of biggest concern for the A&M coaches. There is very poor depth on the defensive line, particularly on the interior. Defensive line coach Terry Price needs to use these practices to get Jonathan Mathis and Kirby Ennis ready to do battle in the trenches.
Mathis is coming off a knee injury, so he needs to have a good camp. If Mathis is healthy, he is talented enough to play on Sundays.
If Mathis or Ennis are injured, the Aggies will be forced to start Ivan Robinson (260 lbs), or a true freshman at defensive tackle.
That is not a recipe for success in the SEC.
On offense, the coaches need to pick a starter at quarterback. Jameill Showers and Johny Manziel have never taken a live snap in Sumlin's offense. The coaches will need to pick a starter and then get him as many reps as possible before the opening game against Louisiana Tech.
Kliff Kingsbury's spread offense only works if you execute. There are plenty of pundits out there who think that a spread passing offense cannot work in the SEC.
If the Aggies are going to prove them wrong, then they need thousands of quality reps in the system before they ever play a game.
Every college football team needs to have a good fall camp. No one needs it as badly as the Aggies do. When they decided to leave the Big 12 for the SEC, they created a lot of hard feelings in the state of Texas.
There are a lot of people who will root for the Aggies to fall flat on their faces in 2012. The Aggies need a lot of preparation now in order to be great on the field during the season.

Country star Tim McGraw is upset by his record label bosses' decision to release a new greatest hits album without his permission.
The singer has apologized to fans for Curb Records' decision to release a third greatest hits package of his material.
In a statement McGraw revealed he's "saddened and disappointed" by the album release on October 7.
He says, "I've only had one studio album since my last hits package. It has to be just as confusing to the fans as it is to me. I had no involvement in the creation or presentation of this record.
"Sure I love the songs and I don't want to take anything away from all the creative people who were a part of making those records. But the whole concept is an embarrassment to me as an artist.
"In the spirit of an election year, I would simply say to my fans 'I'm Tim McGraw and I don't approve their message.'"
According to Billboard.com, McGraw's two prior hits packages have sold a collected eight million copies in the U.S. alone.

Inspirational Transformations!
Inspirational Transformations!
Kayla Itsines
Although transformation photo's are such incredible motivation, I find that often the stories behind those transformations are even more inspiring! Here are two that I received recently.
@thehealthyveggie said that she decided to change her lifestyle because she was tired of looking at herself in the mirror and being unhappy.
In her email she said - "I was tired of being self conscious and feeling absolutely miserable. I have tried so many different popular exercise programs and none of them worked for me. The workouts were long, I got bored doing the same moves over and over again. Since starting Kayla's guide I have not been bored once. The workouts are fun and quick and its really exciting to move on to the next week and see yourself improve and go through the circuits faster. Now I actually look forward to exercise. My "I have to work out" has turned into "I get to work out" and I can FINALLY do real push ups! I even did a few clap push-ups when Kayla challenged us a few weeks ago. Because of Kayla's guide and constant motivation on her Instagram page and blog, she has given me the confidence to go hiking in my sports bra, to go to the park in shorts and not feel ashamed or embarrassed. There is a confidence that I have never had before. Kayla has truly changed my life and I am forever grateful to her."
Thank you so much for sharing your story with me @thehealthyveggie.
I am so so proud of you !!
The girl behind the next AMAZING transformation would like to remain anonymous, which I completely respect! You know who you are and this is my way of saying a huge WELL DONE and you should be SO proud of yourself!!
She said "I have picked up so many healthy habits that have changed my lifestyle all around. I now know that running for hours like I used to do isn't going to give me my dream body. I have so much more confidence and enjoy working out! I am nowhere near finished on this journey. I know that this is now my lifestyle and it isn't going to change! Thank you so much to you and your team for helping me become this new improved version of myself!"
Well done girls!
Kayla x

MLB plans to talk to Guillen
Source: Outfielder to be interviewed about purchase of performance-enhancing drugs
Published 4:00 am, Wednesday, November 7, 2007
Outfielder Jose Guillen is expected to be interviewed by representatives of the commissioner's office about his purchase of $19,000 worth of performance-enhancing drugs over a three-year period, a Major League Baseball source said Tuesday.
Guillen, who played for the A's in 2003 and has spent 11 years in the big leagues, purchased human growth hormone, steroids, other drugs and syringes through a Florida anti-aging clinic, The Chronicle reported Tuesday. Two retired players - former Giants third baseman Matt Williams and journeyman pitcher Ismael Valdez - also ordered drugs from the Palm Beach Rejuvenation Center during their playing careers, according to business records from the company.
Other active players have met - or are supposed to meet - with baseball officials after being identified as customers of the network of wellness centers and online pharmacies targeted by law enforcement.
The federal investigation, led by the Albany, N.Y., district attorney's office, has yielded names of thousands of people who allegedly purchased steroids and growth hormone through fraudulent prescriptions.
Guillen's orders included a $2,083 shipment that was sent to the Coliseum in September 2003, records show. His orders were placed between June 2002 and May 2005. Baseball banned steroids in 2003.
Guillen hit .290, with 23 home runs and 99 RBIs last season for Seattle. Last week, the Mariners declined an option to re-sign him next season for $9 million. Guillen can invoke a $5 million option, but the Mariners could reject it and pay him $500,000 to get out of the deal.
Also Tuesday, Diamondbacks President Derrick Hall issued a statement of support for Williams, who is a Diamondbacks broadcaster and carries the title of "special assistant to the general partner."
"Matt is a stand-up guy, who without hesitation, admitted using (growth hormone) and not liking it," Hall said. In an interview with The Chronicle, Williams acknowledged buying growth hormone in 2002, saying he tried it to heal an ankle injury. The business records also showed Williams ordered steroids, but Williams declined to discuss that.
Commissioner Bud Selig would not comment on the report. A spokesman said MLB would "investigate each situation."
Major League Baseball continues to gird for the impact of the long-awaited report by former Sen. George Mitchell, who was hired in March 2006 to investigate performance-enhancing drug use in the sport.

1 Karen Parlour
When Golden Ray split from his wife Karen last year, the former Arsenal man's wallet must have sunk lower than his heart. The midfielder had already agreed to cough up two mortgage-free houses worth £1 million, £37,500 a year in maintenance for each of their three kids as well as a £250,000 lump sum, when he was hit with the real account-emptier: a further £1.8 m over the next four years - a third of his future earnings. It had been ruled that because Mrs Parlour, a former optician's assistant, had been crucial in keeping Parlour's drinking in check at a time when his earnings soared, she was entitled to benefit. It was described as 'victory for women' in the Daily Mail. 'Fleeced' countered the Sun.
2 Victoria Beckham
The celebrity circus that surrounds Posh and Becks never sat comfortably with Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, especially when Victoria nicknamed her hubby 'Goldenballs' and revealed that he sometimes wore her knickers. 'After training, he'd always be practising, practising, practising,' Fergie said of Becks in 2003. 'And then his life changed when he met his wife. She was in pop and David got another image. And he developed this fashion thing. I saw his transition to a different person.' Asked last year whether, given one bullet, he would shoot her or bitter rival Arsene Wenger, he dead-panned: 'Can't I have two bullets?'
3 Benedicte Tarango
If umpire Bruno Rebeuh thought that American tennis player Jeff Tarango had a bad temper, he had nothing on his wife, Benedicte. At Wimbledon in 1995 the Californian stormed off court during a third-round match with Alexander Mronz following what he deemed a series of 'corrupt' decisions. The match was declared over. On his way back to the locker room, Rebeuh found Mrs Tarango lying in wait. 'She walked up behind me, pinched and twisted my arm and then slapped my face,' Rebeuh said. While Benedicte escaped punishment, Tarango was fined and banned from Wimbledon for a year.
4 Robin Givens
On marrying heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in 1987, actress Givens began their life together by doing what every husband dreads - she moved her mother in. Within six months, Givens (and her mom) had moved out and was filing for divorce. Camille Ewald, Tyson's adoptive 'mom', none the less blamed Givens for having her support payments from the boxer cut off. The Head of the Class star claimed that she didn't want a dollar of Tyson's money, but then demanded $125 million. At the same time, she told reporters that Tyson was a manic depressive who had been put on lithium.
5 Nicky Thorpe
After confessing to a dalliance with another woman during an England tour in 1997, batsman Graham Thorpe hoped that wife Nicky had forgiven him. Within four years, however, his place in the family home had been taken by Kieron Forster, a friend of the couple who was also Tim Henman's fitness trainer. In 2002, the Surrey batsman's career went into decline as he sank into depression - the result of a messy divorce. On returning to the England team in 2003, Thorpe was surprised to receive a good luck text from his ex-wife: 'Hope the South Africans break your head'.
6 Andy Norman
'It's like paying the girl who holds up the round cards as much as the fighters,' complained Steve Ovett when he discovered that javelin thrower Fatima Whitbread had been paid £9,000 more than him in appearance money by British athletics promotions officer Norman. Once Ovett's best friend, the always controversial Norman faced intense scrutiny when he embarked on a relationship with Whitbread. The pair married in 1994, but their involvement with British athletics ended the same year when Norman was sacked after he was found to have begun a smear campaign against Cliff Temple, a journalist, whom he accused of sexually harassing a young athlete. The couple are now divorced.
7 CJ Hunter
Hell hath no fury like a disgraced 300-pound shot-putter scorned. When American sprinter Marion Jones filed for divorce from fellow athlete Hunter in 2001, she was heading for something messier than a legal wrangling over who was going to get the house. 'CJ Hunter has had an axe to grind ever since Marion ended their marriage,' explained her lawyer after Hunter claimed that she had been taking performance-enhancing drugs as she won five golds at the 2000 Olympics, the same Games at which Hunter had tested positive for steroids. Jones would later write that Hunter had 'flat-out lied' when he told her that a knee injury had instead forced him to retire.
8 Brett Ratner
In 2004, Serena Williams told an interviewer that she didn't 'believe in dating unless you're ready to get married. I've never dated anybody. I have some really good men friends but I believe in no sex before marriage.' A year later, the tennis star finally entered the dating game as she began a relationship with overweight film director Ratner, but it ended after less than a year when Ratner informed her that he had spent a week 'hanging out with Puffy, Jay-Z and JD - Jermaine Dupri' in New York rather than spend time with her. Their break-up was captured by cameras filming footage for the Williams sisters' reality TV show, including the moment when Ratner asked for one final kiss and was firmly rebuffed.
9 Deborah Couples
When Fred Couples won the US Masters in 1992, wife Deborah wrapped her legs around him and began shouting: 'Way to go, Babycakes.' The relationship then turned sour a few months later at the Open championship at Muirfield, when Deborah went out on her own and had to be escorted from a bar by another tour professional after entertaining locals with her table-dancing. Divorce followed with Deborah asking for $168,000 a month to maintain her taste for ponies and polo. When Couples teed up at the Players Championship the following March, the first thing he noticed was a supportive blonde wearing a T-shirt with the words: 'I hate polo ponies.' Sadly, Deborah later developed mental problems and committed suicide in 2001.
10 Gary Lough
Few could say that Mr Paula Radcliffe has been bad for his wife's career, yet the Irishman, who also acts as her coach and manager, has frequently been labelled a 'control freak'. Lough confronted Radcliffe ('Why the fuck did you do that? Why didn't you stick to the race plan we talked about?') just seconds after she missed out on bronze at the 2001 World Athletics Championships in Edmonton, Canada, and is even less pleasant in victory. When Radcliffe won her second London Marathon in 2003, Lough told her to 'stop smiling so much' at the press conference. 'It was very strange,' said a photographer. 'Why shouldn't she be allowed to smile?'
This month's 10 was selected by the OSM team. Here we justify our choice:
Brian Clough said that he liked his players to marry young. That way, he knew they were at home being looked after by the wife rather than out on the town. Clough had a point, but in his day footballers' wives were seen and not heard. They did not give interviews to Hello! or attend movie premieres. The husbands and wives of today's sports stars, however, know that they as much as their other halfs are condemned to live under the public microscope, a fate that some (Victoria Beckham and Robin Givens) seem to have enjoyed. It is when they, rather than the sports star, become the story that the trouble begins.
These ten have been chosen either for their ability to embarrass their partners while still together or for making life difficult after breaking up. Gary Lough might argue that Paula Radcliffe might be nothing without his drive, but his public dressing-down of her after the 2001 world championships seemed a step too far in tough love. Karen Parlour's success in the courts, meanwhile, must have had every wealthy young footballer swotting up on pre-nuptial agreements.
If Harry Redknapp and John Gregory had their way, Jayne Unsworth would be top of our list. After discovering that she had urged husband Dave to move from West Ham to be closer to their native Merseyside, Hammers boss Redknapp fumed: 'I don't understand wives getting involved.' Unsworth promptly signed for Aston Villa, believing he could commute each day, but, after only six days, Jayne pulled the plug on that one, too. 'Apparently Mrs Unsworth was threatening to throw his dinner in the dustbin unless he turned up at one o'clock on the dot,' a perplexed Gregory said after selling him swiftly on to Everton.
Have your say
Disagree with our selection? We thought so. Write and tell us who or what should be in there instead, justifying your choice in no more than 50 words.
Send your cards to: 10 Troublesome Other Halfs, OSM, 3-7 Herbal Hill, London EC1R 5EJ or email us: email@example.com.

By Adam Coleman, Houston Chronicle
Coaching in HISD since 2004, Keith Alex has been on the other side of Scarborough's seemingly endless losing streak.
Still, he saw a football team on the cusp of turning it around.
"I remember always saying, 'Man, I don't think those kids are really that far off,' " Alex said. "'It's just little fundamental things that need to be changed here and there.
"Maybe structural things within the program.
"But I said, 'I think they can win.' "
Little did Alex know he would be the coach responsible for the school's first football victory since 2009.
On Friday night, the Spartans ended a 59-game losing streak with an 18-14 victory over KIPP Sunnyside. It was the second-longest losing skid in state history - Houston Davis lost 80 in a row from 1985-93.
Scarborough had not won since it defeated Austin 18-12 on Sept. 10, 2009.
"They were just ecstatic as you can imagine," said Alex, who is the third Spartans coach in three years. "That feeling of belief that we can actually do this.
"Coaches have been saying it from day one that we can do this. We've done it."
Scarborough has had only five winning seasons in 44 years and made the playoffs twice - in 1995 and last season when the Spartans advanced to the postseason as their four-team district's final playoff representative despite losing all 10 of their games.
"If you persevere and you keep doing the right thing and going in the right direction, good things will happen for you," said Ajani Sanders, who was the coach at Scarborough last season before going to Westbury and who received text messages from former players Friday night. "The guys last year and the year before kind of built that foundation, and now the foundation is built and they see that there's something possible."
Jayson Merren, Spartans coach from 2011-13, said he plans to visit the team to offer his congratulations.
Some of the seniors were sophomores with Merren, who said the victory is huge but not as important as the no-quit attitude exhibited by players and coaches.
"It wasn't about wins and losses," said Merren, now an assistant at Beaumont Central. "It was about having a coaching staff and support for those kids"
Alex believes Friday's breakthrough victory was as much about the future as it was about this season.
But he also knows not to get himself and his players too far ahead of themselves this early in the season.
Despite another guaranteed playoff berth, Scarborough has eight games remaining.

"Like I told them, enjoy this time with your family and your friends and enjoy the celebration," Alex said. "Just for a little while.
"We have to go back to work next week because we want to keep this going."

Many of you already know I am a bit of a compound butter fanatic: I love to make lemon parsley butter, maple syrup butter and just about any seasonal combination I can think of as they are perfect for meal solutions. You can bake with, top with or saute with compound butter and use it to add flavor to proteins, vegetables and breads.
Compound or Gourmet butters as some call them, are perfect no bake gifts of food for any Holiday or any occasion. Plus, they are simple to make and easy to customize to someones taste preferences or personality. Does someone you know like Southwestern flavors? make a chili-lime butter. Do they love herbs and nuts? make a basil walnut butter.
Below is a Christmas inspired butter I made and then roast with sweet potatoes. Yum!
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1/3 cup dried sweetened cranberries
1/4 teaspoon dried sage
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
Zest of one mandarin orange or half of an orange, short strips
1. Place the cranberries and herbs on a cutting board, in a pile and chop them all at the same time and place in a bowl.
2. Add the butter to the mixture, and combine with a fork.
3. Wrap the mixture in wax paper, forming a log and refrigerate for at least an hour.
For presentation, wrap with twine and attach a nice card or consider placing the butter in a ramekin for a lovely presentation as well.
Come on over to The Family Kitchen if you are looking for more ideas and a recipe for Lemon-Parsley-Garlic Butter

About Me
Global entrepreneur. Fitness enthusiast. Insatiable learner. Practicing Stoic. Futurist.
My background is in web development, online marketing, and business development. I like clean design, identifying market opportunities, and building automated business systems. My current focus is Auragin, an herbal supplement company I co-founded in 2013.
Outside of work, I read a lot, lift weights or play soccer every day, and philosophize on the best way to live a good life in the 21st century. I believe the exponential growth of technology will cause humanity to see greater changes over the next 50 years than we have in the previous 5000.
You can follow my latest thoughts on my blog duffx.com.
About Auragin
In early 2013, co-founder Chris Chung introduced me to Korean red ginseng. As someone who has always been into health and fitness, I was blown away by the number of medical studies that had been done demonstrating its potential benefits to a wide number of areas, including focus & concentration, memory, preventing illness, anti-fatigue, potential in treating several long-term diseases, and even improving male sexual performance. (No, I'm not kidding).
We launched Auragin later that year, and now two years later it's one of the top-selling ginseng products on Amazon.com. I have been taking it every day for the past two years, and swear by its benefits to focus, productivity, and getting sick less often.
- 100% ginseng in every tablet – no additives or other fillers
- Made from 6 year roots – younger roots that other brands use have a significantly lower ginsenoside content and aren't as effective (ginsenosides are the active components in ginseng responsible for its health benefits)
- 8% ginsenosides – as much as 26 times other leading brands on the market
- Grown in Korea in an area with 500 years of ginseng tradition
- Preserved naturally using traditional methods
In the two years since we've been in business, we've built a loyal fan base who raves about our product and are still experiencing strong month-over-month growth.
You can contact me through email, Facebook, or LinkedIn.

There is a big difference here between a piddling web server and a 1000-hour simulation. If the web server goes down, you reboot it, maybe a few users are inconvenienced meanwhile, and maybe you lose some advertising revenue. If the simulation has to be restarted, you've lost *valuable* computing time that is not easy to replace. There are many environments where even the possibility of the simulation crashing due to external influence is unacceptable. I find it sad that you resist making FreeBSD robust against such problems, but that's your concern.

9 Months post pregnancy and having health and physical problems seeking advice and support
I had a really hard pregnancy, and a really hard labor and delivery. My son is now almost 9 months old and I am experiencing "baby blues" bouts of depression, anxiety, highs and lows of emotion, low sex drive, fatique, insomnia, night sweats, sometimes Im freezing for no apperent reason. Muscle tension and weakness in my back, arms, legs and wrists, and stomach issues as well.
Just wondering if any other moms out there went through any similar situations and how did you handle them and how were your results.
Im getting desperate and just want to feel like myself again and be able to enjoy these wonderful first steps with my son.
Thanks! :)
Have you talked to your doctor about PPD? Have you had your thyroid checked?
I hope your able to get some help, hang in there mama :)
You should really make an appointment to see your doctor. Any "baby blues" that last past 6 months need to be followed up with your doctor.
Your mind and body have been through a lot in the last year and a half. There's no shame in just talking to your doc about how you're feeling.

Photo: Katherine Lowe
1. I went to Le Bain at The Standard last night with three goals: to talk to Kanye West, to hug Derek Blasberg and to pull the thumbs up in Terry Richardson's general direction. But seeing as I didn't actually encounter any of the aforementioned, the night was an epic failure. To compensate, I hugged the doorman, high fived Leigh Lezark and the rest of the Misshapes and rapped along to American Boy and Monster with Katherine and Jenna Sauers. I guess it wasn't all bad.
2. Speaking of the parties, New York City is really all about being on the list. I've seen models and editors and stylists and photographers and even designers turned away from bars for simply not having clicked the RSVP button in their emails. It's like being in Berlin all over again. NB: Always click the RSVP button.
3. As you can see above, I met Alexander Wang very briefly yesterday afternoon at his store opening in Soho. (It has a fox fur hammock hanging in the middle.) He's much taller than you'd expect. And very smiley.
4. You might also notice above that I am wearing something different from normal. It's a woollen shirt jacket from Jack Spade. It cost $125 on sale and I haven't taken it off in four days, nor am I planning to anytime soon.
5. My lifelong friend Nabil Azadi is 19 and brilliant and interviewed Rick Owens for SlamXHype as well as somebody twice his age. As much as interviewing just seems like asking someone a whole bunch of questions and listening politely as they respond, it's actually a real skill. You have to build a rapport with the subject and make them feel comfortable enough to open up and tell you something other than a superficial – or worse – one word answer. So kudos to him.
6. One more show and then my New York Fashion Week is officially wrapped! It's Calvin Klein Women's and I'm expecting big things.
7. I got a sneak preview of the Little Brother for Barkers Winter collection last night and it includes a duffel coat and a Barbour-esque jacket alongside turtleneck sweaters, button down shirts and a cute cardigan (it's navy with a pale blue edging detail, so yes, cute). When are they going to start selling that brand internationally?

Viewing Daily Sales Step Goals (Dealer)
After the sales manager creates the goals, the sales consultants can view their own goals. When a dealer marks a sales step as done during the sales process, this sales step goals list is updated to record how many sales steps have been completed, so the sales consultants can look at their sales step goals lists regularly in order to check how their actual performance compares with their goals.
Sales consultants can also print out a report with their daily goals, so they have a written plan of their tasks for the day. Alternatively, sales managers can print out reports of daily goals for each of their sales consultants and can give these printed reports to the sales consultants each day.

When memorable things happen, you want to capture them forever and there is no better way to do that than with a point and shoot camera. However, since the most important things only happen once, you want to make sure that whatever camera you have can be relied on in the moment. Luckily, at Overstock.com, our selection of cameras and equipment includes items from name brands like Nikon, Canon, and Samsung, ensuring they are high quality. Whether you are an Amateur photographer trying to professionalize or a proud parent hoping to capture life's precious moments, you can browse our selection and find what you need at a bargain price.
Before deciding to cancel or not my X-T1 order, I actually contacted Live Chat who "confirmed" that the camera was made in USA and warrantied by Fujifilm USA (I even saved the message). But upon receiving my order, there's a big white sticker at the bottom indicating that this "may be an imported product originally for sale in the USA...". So 2 stars for Customer Service not providing the correction information. If I had known, I would have cancelled my order. Website does state 1 year distributor warranty and Live Chat stated if camera needs to be fixed under warranty to contact Overstock customer service. Box came slightly dented too but everything seems new condition. I'm going to take a chance this time and Overstock warranty dept better come through should I need to fix something. But this will probably be last time I buy a camera or accessories through Overstock since it is not clearly stated in the description if it's an import or not. P.S. A Type C plug (2 round prong) cord was inside the actual Fuji box and an extra U.S. cord was provided externally inside the delivery box. Serial Number includes a "U" [not an "A" which another reviewer says is the USA version]. *update* the camera itself is AWESOME. Coming from a canon 6d, it is so much more fun to shoot. I haven't even taken it off Auto mode yet lol
