My laptop is broken
I don't know how to blog from my phone
And add photos
And that changes the format of this space
And i feel broken too.
I need to go for a other iron infusion
And even though i know they are working
And my iron levels are improving
I do not want to go
I do not want another iv in my already
Sore and tiny arm
The whole procedure makes me feel broken
I am taking a little class
And yesterday the assignment
Was to list everything i wanted to learn
Anything at all
But for 10 whole minutes
No stopping
You know, a free writing exercise.
I lasted 4 minutes
And i felt broken.
I can write long and fast but not
For that exercise apparantly.
I have a friend who is hurting
And another who is lonely
And one who is sick
And despite all the love i give
I can not fix them
And i too feel brokeas a result.
I intended just to check in
And tell you my laptop was broken
And the space here might be quiet
But i think perhaps
I needed to ask for grace
And gentleness
And patience
As i recognize that i am broken too.

Based on a single right cheliped from the Cape de Naze Formation (middle–upper Maastrichtian), Senegal, a new genus and species of hermit crab with capsulated setae is described. Paracapsulapagurus poponguinensis n. gen. n. sp. is characterized by platy, scale-like, non-spinose tubercles with setae arranged in curved rows. This is only the third record of a fossil hermit crab with capsulated setae. These are documented in detail using SEM-imaging. For the first time, capsulated setae are also figured for the Early Jurassic hermit crab Schobertella.

Welcome to the site of the Taekwon-Do group headed by Master Manuel Adrogué and the instructors with whom he shares the mission of spreading and living the martial way. We are based in Buenos Aires, Argentina and can be contacted through Facebook: Taekwon Argentina. We apologize for not having a full English language version of the site, but we are confident you will be able to by-pass the language barrier and enjoy the pictures in our Gallery as well as other sections. Our name "Mudo Jongshin Won" 무도정신원 (武道精神院) means "Circle of Righteous Martial Spirit".
We follow the way of classical Taekwon-Do in its conception as a total and practical martial art based on rigorous training under certain traditional guidelines, the pursuit of perfection of character and the development of physical capabilities, and the door to mastery in advanced martial art skill. Our approach is through the ITF Taekwon-Do version, with a special methodology for training that takes into account matters typically disregarded in modern Taekwon-Do schools. Master Adrogué was born on March 1968 and has been training Taekwon-Do since 1983, along with some training in other systems. (He currently is being taught in Chinese internal methods which provide a fresh perspective and material, although not as different as most would expect).
His main teacher for two decades was GrandMaster Pedro Florindo (1949-2018), an outstanding martial artist who used to be a fierce competitor, a highly regarded instructor, and a specialist in "old school" martial art skills. Florindo had a mixed Moo Duk Kwan and Ji Do Kwan upbringing from two famous Korean teachers (Lee Chong Seo and Yang Dae Chol). He participated in the 1977 WTF Chicago World Championships. Two years later Florindo joined the ITF and was soon appointed Director by Gen. Choi becoming one of the most relevant leaders in Argentine Taekwon-Do, having a 10,000 member organization under his direction.
During his late teens Adrogué worked at the main martial arts magazine in Argentina, "Yudo Karate", where he got to interview famous international masters who visited the country. That lead him to broaden his martial arts scope into cross-training, always looking for highly reputed experts adding some experience in Japanese Kenpo, Kung Fu and Hapkido. A high point in his life were several tours to the United States in the early '90s in which Mr. Florindo and a group of around 20 black belts visited and trained under the most famous teachers residing in Los Angeles and New York. Around those first ten years as a martial artist Adrogué used to attend to tournaments usually stepping up the podium in sparring, patterns and breaking. In his early 20s Adrogué decided is time allocation dilemma by choosing to go for honors at University at the expense to a serious martial arts competitive career. He used to joke his dream was to become a Master at 50, not a champion at 25. Maybe an excuse, since his talent was uncertain at best. But he did manage to have some satisfactions as for example the one reported in 2001 by Tae Kwon Do Times Magazine. After graduating as a lawyer and then obtaining his Masters degree in business law, Mr. Adrogué became an instructor and kept training and writing for martial arts magazines. Mr. Adrogué believes that diligent practice greatly benefits from intellectual research, and he has made a habit of selecting and reading martial arts publications for his exquisite 200 volume personal library which includes all type of material, from Gen. Choi's Encyclopedia, the Combat Program of the US Marines Corp, to the Chinese approach to Internal Energy Circulation. During 2003 as part of his specialization in international corporate law Adrogué lived with his family in Houston, where he met and trained with Master Mark Giambi who presented him to be examined for 5th Dan by GrandMaster Kong Young Bo. In 2008 special business circumstances determined that he would travel to Korea with GrandMaster Kim Han Chang , the father of Argentine Taekwon-Do. GM Kim was the person appointed by Gen. Choi to introduce Taekwon-Do into Argentina in 1967. GM Kim is highly regarded not only for his technical skills but mostly for his fine character, and he adopted Adrogué as a disciple, then granting him the rare privilege to have two masters.
During his lifetime Master Adrogué has been blessed by meeting or training under legends like Gen. Choi Hong Hi, Hwang Kee, Ji Han Jae, H.C. Hwang, Sihak Henry Cho, Kim Pyung Soo, Park Jong Soo, Kong Young Bo, Chen Quanzong, Kenzo Miyazawa, Choi Kwang Jo, Cho Hee Il, Kim Suk Jun, Jun Chong, Henry Taejoon Lee, Tran Trieu Quan, Do Ki Hyun, Pak Gumsu, Kim Han Chang, Choi Nam Sung, among others. Whenever presented the opportunity of being exposed to a source of higher martial art knowledge, Adrogué will seize it. As it is said in Asia, good students are those able to steal the art from the masters.
Since then Adrogué has travelled to Korea in 2013 and 2015 having the chance to train Taekwon-Do, Shippalki, Taek Kyon and other disciplines, meeting other masters and friends like Sanko Lewis, Ryan MacEachern, Chuck Gorino and Jonathan Than. During such last trip Mr. Adrogué joined GrandMaster Park Jong Soo in a visit to Taekwondo Won where they met Masters Zibby Kruk and C.J.Oh (of Korea ITF Hqs.) and most importantly to pay homage to his teacher Gen. Choi by visiting the famous "Fist Monument" in Jeju island, a symbolical location where the basis of Taekwon-Do was laid in the training of the Republic of Korea 29th Army Division in 1954. On that occasion Mr. Adrogué was promoted to 7th Dan Master level by GrandMaster Park with the formal support of GrandMasters Kim and Florindo. Thus, Adrogué has joined the ranks of the Allied International Taekwon-Do Council (A.I.T.C.) and is under the tutelage of GM Park. In Argentina, he works closely with high calliber instructors as Marcelo Cremona and Hernan Cisternas. Mr. Adrogué has translated and published into Spanish the famous book by Alex Gillis "A Killing Art: The Untold History of Tae Kwon Do", with the addition of a 200-page section of the history of Argentine Tae Kwon Do. Mr. Adrogué has become a sought-after teacher for seminars given his original approach to Taekwon-Do training. Most of the efforts of Adrogué as an author of around 50 articles have been to give access to Spanish speakers to some of the very good information available in English. However Adrogué occasionally publishes in English language media when he feels there is something interesting to add or share with the larger international community, which has given him friends who are well regarded authors in the martial arts field like Michael De Marco, George Vitale, Sanko Lewis and Stuart Anslow. During the last years Adrogué has been polishing his personal training and learning Chinese Kung Fu (Taijiquan and Baguazhang), which have exposed him to interesting ways of addressing combat and cutting down unnecesary motions in his quest of power and efficiency.
For English language speakers we especially recommend:
1) "Asian Martial Arts. Constructive Thoughts & Practical Applications", published by Journal of Asian Martial Arts / Via Media Publications on September 2012. Adrogué was invited to join a collective work and represent Taekwon-Do among 27 specialists of different martial arts by submitting a two-page article choosing two techniques or sequences, with their photographs, and explaining the background and ideas behind them.
2) "ITF Taekwon-Do and Sine Wave as Sequential Motion": More power than what meets the eye", published in Totally Tae Kwon Do magazine, May, June and July 2010. An insightful attempt to explain the reasons for Gen. Choi to modify the way basic technique was performed in Shotokan Karate before adopting it into ITF Taekwon-Do.
3) "Ancient Military Manuals and Their Relation to Modern Korean Martial Arts", published in Journal of Asian Martial Arts / Via Media Publications, Vol. 12, Num. 4, November 2003.
4) "A Martial Arts Librarian's Suggestions", June 2016 Facebook post on the intellectual approach to martial arts growth.
5) "An Attempt to Define "Taekwon-Do" looking at Bruce Lee, Gen. Choi and his Legacy", May 2017 Totally Tae Kwon Do magazine.
6) "Grandmaster Florindo and his Place in the History of Argentine Taekwon-Do", Feb 2018 Totally Tae Kwon Do magazine.

2012 Subaru Impreza: Knobs, Knobs Everywhere
October 29, 2012
There are five knobs on the Impreza's center stack. Five. That's at least four more than most cars these days. They make audio and HVAC adjustments quick and easy. No menu hunting, no repetative button punching.
Thanks, Subaru.

A friend of mine is selling Pure Romance stuff. She was telling me about this arousal cream they sell. I think it sounds cool but it cost like $15 a bottle, is it worth it. Are there any arousal creams you can recommend? Do they even work?
Short answer: Nope. None. Not at all.
Long answer: There are no products on the market that have been FDA approved to aid in arousal response. Even drugs like Cialis and Viagra simply mimic the physical symptoms of arousal by dilating a man's blood vessels allowing for more blood flow.
In my experience, arousal creams are across the board a fraud. They usually work in one of two ways. Either they have some sort of irritant like mint or capsaicin (the active ingredient in hot peppers) or they require you to massage them into your genitals for long periods.
If they use an irritant, you aren't going to be aroused you're going to be irritated. Your body will respond with warmth and swelling, which mimics the arousal response. In reality it is nothing more than your body freaking out, wondering why you would do such a horrible thing to it.
If they require the massage application, they are selling you lube and telling you to stimulate your genitals. You're doing the arousal. The same arousal you could do with some spit or lube that doesn't cost $20/oz.
Although these creams do not do as they claim, if you find they work for you then, by all means, keep using them. We do all sort of pointless things every day in the name of tradition and superstition. In the kitchen, I throw salt over my shoulder, even though it has no purpose and only causes me to be annoyed when I step on the crystals. There is no reason, if makes you feel good, why you can't pay too much money for glorified lube.
If you feel you need assistance with becoming or staying aroused before or during sex, you could massage your genitals, but without the expensive creams. You could also try reading erotica, watching porn, talking dirty, or using sex toys such as a vibrator or dildo.
If you find that those things don't work, try a bit of sensory deprivation. Sight and sound are the two most common ways we interact with the world. Use a blindfold and earmuffs or earplugs to remove those senses. It will heighten smell, touch and taste, which are all arguably more useful during sex.
You should also keep in mind that women do not respond as quickly to pleasurable stimuli as men. They often need much more time to get going. Try to set aside time to devote to foreplay. You may find that the extra time at the beginning will increase your overall pleasure, level of arousal and sensitivity during sex.
Five years, more than 700 blogs, 50 videos, 40 podcasts, 3 events, 2 ebooks and 1 directory - LTASEX is a self-funded labor of love. If you get value out of LTASEX, consider tossing a couple bucks this way. Your donations help ease the burden on my slender pockets and allow me to spend more time working on new content for you.
Thank you for your continued support!

Don't Just Do Something, Sit There!
One of my favorite bloggers, economist Russ Roberts of Cafe Hayek, has offered a commentary on National Public Radio on the damage Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson is doing to our economy by his frenetic attempts to help it. Roberts' commentary is linked from a post of his at http://cafehayek.typepad.com/hayek/2008/11/paulsons-failur.html and the transcript is well worth reading in its entirety.
My take: what is happening in the economic sphere right now gets to the heart of the case for anarchism. It isn't that a free society will solve every problem: it is that the use of aggression is so consistently harmful. As I've suggested in other posts, it is government intervention that created the current crisis, not a free market, but even if you believed the latter, consider the chaos that is resulting from government attempts to address it. The bailout threatens massive interventions of an uncertain nature. Bear Stearns is bailed out. Lehman Brothers is allowed to die. AIG Insurance is bailed out. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are bailed out. Maybe they'll be killed, maybe not. A massive bailout program is proposed for $700 billion, then it fails, then it is passed by making it worse (adding $150 billion of pork), and now the targets of the money keep changing, with lobbyists lining up and Paulson changing his mind constantly about what should be bought with his gigantic credit line drawn on the taxpayers. And the auto companies are lined up for money. And on and on.
Businesses and individuals are so uncertain that they are afraid to act and then have the rules of the game changed. One of the reasons the Great Depression went on and on and on in the United States was that Hoover and then FDR kept coming up with gigantic programs and plans, and what is called "regime uncertainty" caused a paralysis of businesses waiting for a stable regulatory environment before making long-term commitments.
One argument used by Hoover and FDR then and by Bush and Obama now is that the government cannot just sit there doing nothing, even if it isn't clear what should be done. The government is like the doctors of old who had no idea why someone was ill, so they applied leeches and drained blood every day, making the patient worse and often killing them when their illness was otherwise non-fatal.
I can't prove that the healing powers of the market will resolve the economic crisis, but neither can anyone prove that taking gigantic sums of money away from some people and handing it to others will do so. So, as long as we aren't sure:

Less, a socialist monopoly cannot protect a free market economy, but could a free market government do it? I believe our best hope of freedom is to transform our local governments (territorial monopolies of coercion) into free market governments. The easiest way (should I be honest and say "the least difficult way"?) would be to start at the local level, have local municipal taxes go directly to local political party organizations, and let people determine which party gets their taxes once a year. Government at every level is all about power, which comes from money, which comes from taxes. Redirect the place where the taxes go, turn it into a free market government, and watch freedom happen. I have more on this at my blog, AmericanKritarchists.wordpress.com.
From what I have read on your site here, we are very much on the same page. What do you think?

Panasonic Lumix G3 kit £30 instore @ tesco (+ possible £50 Cashback)
so the Greenock store has about 4 more, if anybody wants to try. before anybody posts the inevitable wild geese pics and comments etc, at least some people might have the chance of picking these up, so vote cold if you want. but I don't care, I got an absolute bargain, and so might others.
stock will be very limited, and you will need to get them to check in the back as there was no shelf space for these. also picked up 2 of the £50 tvs also, so a good days shopping.
and Panasonic are also offering £50 cashback on this model just now, so £20 profit.
happy hunting
just an update on this post. as there are a few things happening on this thread, that will ensure you don't find one of these.
first of all, don't phone up any stores or customer services etc. these will not show on their system. you will need to go in to a store and get them to check in the back. if you phoned me in Tesco, then I would be telling you they are out of stock also, and they would all be leaving with me after my shift. I don't work for Tesco btw.
take the picture I posted in, so they know what they are looking for. and don't let them scan it at the tech desk. tell them you will put it through the normal till with the rest of your shopping. or better still a self service.
also a lot of people on here asking if they are in "x" store all over the country. this is a stupid way of trying to find any Tesco deal, you will need to go find them yourself, as anybody finding these will buy them all. wouldn't be surprised to see some pop up on ebay shortly. so u are going to have to do the donkey work yourself, if you want one of these.

The end result of cooler fall weatherWritten by Dr. Dolittle on November 17, 2009 – 11:52 am -
Ahhh fall is in the air. Crisp days and chilly nights create some strange bedfellows. Poor Snoopy doesn't have much hair, so when housemates pile on, she doesn't mind too much. The added warmth overcomes her aversion to the cat. Even Rascal will cease tormenting Snoopy long enough for a nap.Posted in Uncategorized | 2 Comments »

text: Giovanni | 2 Chic Ultra-Sleek Collection Hair Care October 1, 2017 by Ally Marone Summer is over and while the beach and Sunday Rose` have taken priority, your hair is probably in need of some TLC. 2 chic hair care promises 20 benefits for your hair all without parabens, laurel sulfate, and DOES NOT TEST ON ANIMALS. Ill say it again for those in the back- NO TESTING ON ANIMALS. 2chic boasts you will see shiny, stronger, frizz free hair and I gotta say, they do deliver. The shampoo has such a nice lather I had to double check there was no laurel sulfate in the ingredients. The conditioner had a medium thickness consistency and washed out clean leaving no residue. After a few washes, I found myself only needing conditioner on my ends because the shampoo is THAT good at not only cleansing, but softening my brittle dry hair. I have naturally curly hair and usually need a great deal of post shower products to eliminate the frizz- but only a few pumps of the leave in conditioner did the job. I was able to get away with no flat iron, saving time and heat damage. My hair was visibly shiny and don't let the pink bottle fool you; the scent is just enough to be pleasant but not too girly for the entire household to use. A little goes a long way ensuring your dollar is stretched to the last drop. If you are looking to tame some frizz and repair the damage from a busy summer, 2chic can get you hair commercial ready before the holiday season. + Giovanni Cosmetics Photo by C.

Tip O' the Week
*Tips that are NEAT-tO know!*
Keep the crunch in your lettuce!
Prep your lettuce for maximum longevity in the fridge. First, rinse and dry your lettuce. For your Romaine, you can leave the core on and the bunches in tact if small. For Iceberg, cut off the end and separate the leaves into handful size bunches. Next, tear off two paper towels for each bunch. Get them thoroughly wet with cold water and gently wring them out.
Roll each bunch in the paper towels. Stack them in a freezer sized Ziplock bag. Close the "zipper" almost all the way, leaving about an inch open. Suck the air out through the hole and close it. (I like to do this b/c squeezing the air out can bruise your lettuce.) Ta-dah! Your lettuce will stay fresh for weeks!

Is there any way to save the fragile and frustrating purple stuff in the spring mix my husband insists we get year round?
Yes! The baby read oakleaf is the culprit alright. Also I saw this method http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/tips-techniques/longlasting-greens-how-to-keep-salad-greens-fresh-126732 over at Apt. Therapy the other day. I don't know if I trust any of my bath towels unless they're brand new and have never been used by a boy person in my house. So I might just stick to the paper towels for sanitary reasons, even though I'm technically averse to using them for anything other than absolutely necessary tasks. Which this totally is.

|Painting & Dance - Unique
relation in Indian art
The relationship between painting and dance is a remarkable unique Indian tradition.
Vishnu-dharmottara (7th century AD) stresses the impossibility of attaining a proper expression of feeling in painting without the knowledge of dance.
There are paintings from the earlier as well as the later periods of Ajanta art, which depict dance scenes.
Dancing had become highly stylised in the later period. The vibrant grace of pose and gesture invest her with a swaying, flower-like
rhythm and movement.
Tribhanga Pose
Tribhanga is a very important feature in the depiction of the human form. The whole figure is structured around three main axes.
It gives the body an S-shaped rhythm, a fluency of line, which, together with the appropriate gestures of hands, conveys a wide range of expressions.
|Painting & Sculpture, Another
unique relation
Most impressive is the way the two art-forms, paintng and sculpture, co-exist at Ajanta, complementing each other.
The sculptures were fully painted, though most of the paint has disappeared.

Do these references even track anymore? Do you all remember when Bryce crashed his entire body into an outfield wall for no apparent reason?

Jerry O'Connell Wants His Daughters to Marry Into Royalty
Jerry O'Connell poses for a photo while making an appearance on Extra at Universal Studios Hollywood on Wednesday (December 20) in Universal City, Calif.
The 43-year-old actor opened up this week about how he'd like his and wife Rebecca Romijn's daughters to marry into royalty, just like future princess Meghan Markle.
"They can date anyone they want when they grow up, but I'm using this Meghan Markle thing as a point of reference for them," Jerry told Us Weekly.
"'Guys this is what I'm talking about. Meghan and a prince. This is what I expect.' That's the bar now. I would be cool with them marrying a royal. Anytime Meghan Markle is on the news, I point to them and go, 'Girls there she is. That's a princess. That's what I'm talking about.' I'm trying to motivate them," he said.
Jerry's twin daughters Dolly and Charlie are nine-years-old!

Deni Connor met with Mark Bregman, executive vice president of product operations at Veritas Software, to discuss how the company views storage and how it competes with other vendors in the market.
Q: What is Veritas' vision for storage for the next year, three years - and how does it fit with the storage industry vision?The next year is clear - it gets foggier the further out you look. A trend has been taking place for some time that is coming to center stage for most of our customers - that is network storage.
There has been a lot of promise over the last several years driven by the desire to get increased data and application availability. Now, with the economic situation and focus on the bottom line, storage networking is being looked to as a way to get better utilization without buying more gear. It is also being driven by cost pressures - the hope that by having all storage on a network, you can manage it more efficiently and have fewer people dealing with it.
Those people who tried to implement advanced storage networks in the last 12 to 18 months saw that the reality didn't live up to the promise, so they could get better utilization out of the hardware and reduce their hardware costs, but instead traded it for higher management and people costs.
The realization has come about that storage networks are pretty compelling on paper but are pretty complicated, and interoperability issues continue to appear. Finally, the tools to manage, report and support the distribution of storage over the network and do charge-back are not in place yet.
There's a huge opportunity for us to help customers cut through the complexity of storage and solve interoperability issues, because as a software vendor, we're platform- and device-neutral.
Q: You say network storage is coming to fruition even though there are issues of interoperability and management. Is that what you are saying Veritas is going to be doing in the next year - solving those problems?We are already. We just announced the release of our storage resource management product, SANpoint Control, which brings all these network storage elements together - it supports NAS as well as direct-attached storage, and provides what we call active SRM. SRM has been focused on reporting, but we go beyond that in allowing users to take control and manage their storage resources, not just inspect them. So it's not just a microscope, but a surgical instrument. As things become more complex, just having inspection tools and not the tools to manage them isn't going to be sufficient.
On the three-year horizon, the thing we are looking at that will be hitting the market sometime the beginning of next year, is a product we call Global Operations Management, which raises the level of management from SRM to business-object management. What CIOs need are tools that help them understand their storage data from the view of application and data availability, and how much they are spending to store data in a certain location. We'll also add capabilities such as charge-back and service-level agreement monitoring and control, which are important as IT organizations are increasingly supplying their services to the enterprise as a utility.
Q: EMC says it is the only company that automates storage now. What is wrong with that in Veritas' view of things?EMC may automate storage management, but they only automate it in an EMC world. We automate storage independent of the hardware platform. From our point of view, storage is a commodity, and EMC is not willing to think of storage as a commodity for obvious reasons.
Q: You automate and virtualize storage from a file system level. What advantages does that have over array-level automation and virtualization?That's not exactly true. Veritas virtualizes at the host, not file level. EMC virtualizes at the array level. If you have a collection of storage, the servers can see a virtual pool of storage. EMC can do that as long as all the storage is EMC. We can do that whether it's EMC [arrays] or not. We can even add an EMC virtualized pool of storage into another pool of storage.
The thing that is happening in the broader marketplace is that there are aspects of virtualization that are done better in the fabric of the storage network - in the switches. We are working with a variety of partners to put the Veritas virtualization software into their intelligent fabric devices.
Q: Cisco [Systems Inc.] is one of those, right?Could be.
Q: You have a relationship with Cisco that has led to a lot of speculation lately - that Cisco will acquire Veritas, or if nothing else, use your virtualization in its storage switches. What is your relationship with Cisco?Aren't we going to buy Cisco? We are working with partners, and Cisco is one of them. They are members of the Veritas Powered program, which is a group of vendors that want to connect to our software. They could be array or application vendors. As the intelligent fabric is emerging, there are a set of new devices that aren't servers or arrays. They are switches or other gear that sit in the fabric. We are working with vendors who want to embed our software in their devices. Cisco, Rhapsody Networks, Adaptec and Maxxan are members of Veritas Powered.
Q: What effect will Cisco's entry into the Fibre Channel market have on Veritas?Independent of what Cisco does with us, it is going to grow the market.
The storage industry has said that CIM is the management of the future. What is Veritas doing with CIM?
We are very active. This week we are participating in the CIM-SAN I, the demonstration of a distributed network that is managed via CIM, at Storage Networking World. It is a real demonstration that CIM can work.
Q: Since Veritas is set up to manage storage on many platforms, hosts and operating systems, does a technology like CIM do all that much for you?It does matter for a couple of reasons. Since Veritas has been known as a vendor that works with anybody and our investments in the past have been in building special adapters for everyone's interfaces, wouldn't a standard put you out of business? Having a standard way of doing things makes our life easier. We can focus our resources on the services rather than the adapters. There are still going to be features and capabilities of devices that are not exposed through the CIM interface - for those, we will exploit by doing adapters.
Q: Because you don't have to duplicate effort then. Some observers will say that standards are built to the lowest common denominator and yet be critical of companies such as EMC that have its WideSky APIs. Don't you need custom extensions to the CIM standard to expose those features that Veritas can be the best at?I look at it a little differently. CIM provides a set of capabilities for a device in a standardized way and then adjacent there may be extensions a particular vendor provides. Of course, that vendor is doing it for a simple reason - they want customers to take advantage of those extensions and, therefore, be locked into using that vendor's products for the extra functions they provide. We will do what we've already done - build those extensions to exploit those features.
Q: That program is called what?It's the Veritas Enabled program, which is how we build interfaces with other vendors.
Q: Is it more important for Veritas to partner to gain capability or for you to develop to gain capability?If you look at the core of capability we provide, such as data protection, application availability and management - those functionalities we want to develop. We may partner if we really don't have the capability or for a time-to-market advantage, but that's our core asset. The stuff at the perimeter where build capability to connect to other devices or applications, there it makes sense to partner.
Q: EMC says it will focus more on software and increase its distribution of revenue to somewhere around 30 percent. How does a company like EMC threaten a company like Veritas?EMC, like a lot of other large players, is a very important partner for us in many areas of our business. Their arrays work well with our software. Having said that, EMC has stated that they are going to have to move from hardware more to software. That's a consequence of what's happening as hardware becomes more commoditized. As EMC does that, clearly there is going to be more friction and areas of overlap. I'm not overly concerned in the short-term because EMC has a major challenge making the transition. The other challenge is being neutral in their software business when you have a hardware platform to sell.
Q: Sun in the past year has started to introduce a lot of products that they formerly used Veritas for. How does that affect your company?Overall, Scott McNealy has said he doesn't want to have dependencies, therefore Sun wants to build everything they need. From the point of view of how quickly they can get there, there's a level of complexity in storage software that most people don't appreciate until they start digging into it. So, yes, in the latest release of Solaris 9, their file system is better than the previous release. Is it as good as what Veritas has? No. It doesn't perform as well, and it's not as robust. There are going to be customers who say Sun's software is good enough. That still doesn't make it better.
Q: That sounds like a comparison between Yugos and Porsches ...The same argument was made in the Unix business. Analysts said Windows NT was going to kill Unix. While NT grew, the Unix market also grew. What you can do with a Yugo or Porsche is different.
Q: Tell me where Veritas is going in respect to backup and recovery from disk instead of tape and whether you think it has the potential to change the dynamics of backing up a network.The short answer is yes. The longer answer is that backup is a funny technology because it's been around since the beginning of the computer age. It's thought of as mundane, but has evolved rapidly in the last few years with the advent of inexpensive disks and the need for instant backup and restore.
Some people have predicted that tape is going to become obsolete. I don't believe that for a number of reasons. One is that although the price gap between disk and tape continues to decrease, tape is still a very cost-effective storage medium. There are also regulatory and legal reasons why you will want to have a long-term backup instead of being able to recover from a failure.
Backup strategies are becoming much more sophisticated and they are involving disk and tape. It's not that disk is replacing tape so much as it is that disk is inserting itself as an intermediate part of the backup process.
Q; A staging platform...
Yes, disk allows you to do instant, snapshot backups and restores, but it also lets you do incremental backups. It's too early to tell if there is a single paradigm that will emerge. There may be a shake out in which people will say we tried all those different things, but this is the right approach.

This is the page for the Hypertext Peer Review for Group 4:
Group 4: Ja'La W., Renee G., Louise B., Hania M.
Here is the link to my hypertext essay:
I am aware that this is very rough and needs a lot added to it, but any comments on what I have so far would be great 🙂
Link to my hypertext website:
Link to my Portfolio:
I've made comments on your essay so when you have time please take a look. Overall you are headed in the right direction. My only suggestions were to make connections to the class I believe.
I love what you have done with your text-to-hypertext website! It really looks like an actual website created by a business. The articles / video tab are what really make this website work. Keep adding to it and possibly think of something to put on the right side bar.
There are a few suggestions I have for your portfolio that I think will make it work even better. Consider including a homepage that is solely a picture of you with an introduction about who you are/what the portfolio is for/what you do. Currently, you have the people.emich link on the homepage which should be in the top header menu.
My only other suggestions for your portfolio would be to think of what you might want to include on your right sidebar.
I can't give you too much detail in the way of feedback here because, as you point out, this is still very much a draft at this point. I think the essay in particular is fine, but there are two things you need to do for sure based on what I'm reading. First, these should be pages and not posts. I've talked about this several times before already; in the nutshell though, we're using wordpress as a way of making a portfolio where you can present static pages and not as a "blog." So you should fix that with your project. I also think that you need to do more than you've done here so far to contextualize this a little If a reader came across this on the net out of the blue, what would you want them to know? How could you help them navigate the site?
As for your portfolio: I think it's pretty solid, but two suggestions. First, again remember pages versus posts. Instead of introducing your site with posts, I'd encourage you to introduce with a static page. Second, give us a little more bio to go off of here– what is this site for, etc.
Hi Renee,
I'll just comment on all three things here.
The essay: I think this is a great start. You have a good walk-through of your thought process, as well as how you went about actually doing the project. I think the only thing you might want is a bit more explanation here and there of different parts of the project as you came across them, for someone who might not be in this class or already know about the project (I have to add this to mine too!).
The website: I actually really like the setup for this website, but for the sake of this assignment, I feel like the pages might make it a little easier. Though I can see why you would do the blog instead, because it does seem to work well with your essay. Other than that, I really do like how you've arranged it. It's different, and I love that!
The portfolio: Your portfolio looks pretty good so far! I think for the most part you have everything organized and put together, so it looks great. The only thing I would want to add is some visuals. I think it would be a good idea to have pictures either as a banner or something like that, only because it would be a bit more eye-catching. Otherwise, it looks great!
Hello! I really like the layout of your website. I am a little confused though as to the two different menues that cover the same content that are at the top of the page and under the title of your website. Also, I think that your About should be your home page because it would be easier if I didn't have to search before learning what your page is about. I really like your contact page, it's something I didn't think about. Overall, your page looks very professional and the colors scheme and layout is clean and functional. Good job!
Hello All! Here we go….

P. S. : If anyone can help me figure out how to delete/replace the widgets on my WordPress sites I would be very grateful. For some reason whenever I hit "edit" on the page it crashes and doesn't let me even go to the customizing part of WP…
Hi Louise,
I've just looked at all your links! I had trouble accessing your text-to-hypertext website so I'll only be able to comment on your portfolio and essay.
From what you have so far, the essay is off to a good start. I imagine you will include more details about your experiences creating your website and the challenges you encountered. When you do, make sure you link it back somehow to the class objectives, readings, ect.
Your portfolio has the basics of what we need. I like the colors you choose and think they work well. Maybe adding a bright color/photo of yourself on the front will create an even better contrast. (don't forget, we are required to have a photo of ourselves:)
My only suggestion on the portfolio is, think about what you want on the right hand side, because as of now I think you just have the default widgets up.
I just realized you asked for help deleting the widget lol. If you go to *customize theme* you should be able to delete and add widgets to any menu/sidebar.
Hi Louise,
I also had an issue accessing both the project website and your portfolio (it takes me back to my own WordPress dashboard? I have no idea why), so I'll only be able to comment on your essay.
I think you're off to a good start! I know you're still working, but I like that you started off explaining your feelings going into the project. Going forward, I think you can add the mechanics of exactly what your process was while working through all of it, and also any inspiration you may have had. I think once you add a little more to this, it'll flow nicely too. Keep at it!
Okay, I just realized I could look at your portfolio from the links on the side, so I got to look at it.
I think your portfolio looks really good! I love the picture on the front, and your intro 🙂 Your assignments all look really organized, and everything seems to be in place. All I would say is to just make sure that everything is finalized and all of your work is edited and everything. Otherwise, I think it looks great!
First off, the links to your web sites should be:
The links you have here are to what you need to click on to edit them in wordpress.
Second, there really isn't enough done here for me to give you a lot of feedback. I like the image on the main page of your site and what's there, but there is obviously a lot more to come. The same with the essay: there's not really a lot I can offer in terms of feedback.
As for the widget fixes: this is why I made myself available to meet with folks before Thanksgiving break to work on some of these technical issues (a couple of you took me up on that), and it's why I've made myself available to meet in person or via Google hangouts too (others of you have taken me up on those options). So I guess what I'm saying is I wish you would have brought this up sooner, Louise. But in the meantime, check out https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/ I think there is some help for you there.
As for your portfolio: I like the template you've found and I think it's pretty well-organized, though it would be good if you could get in there and do the customization yourself to eliminate some of the original template's widgets in the bottom of the home page for the site.
Hi Louise!
Sorry for the late comment – this week has been HECTIC!
For your essay, I think that you are off to a really good start! You are definitely heading in the right direction. My suggestions are to go into a bit more detail and to also link back to the readings from class (something I have to do with mine as well.)
For your portfolio, I also think that it looks nice. Everything is really well organized. Good job!
Links coming your way!
I appreciate any and all feedback. My text-hypertext website is a work in progress and I still have some additional content to add to the pages, but I would like to know what you all think of the layout.
For my portfolio, I just have a few things to tweak, so feel free to share what you think and offer any helpful suggestions.
Reflective Essay text-hypertext (updated draft should be ready by Tuesday morning)
Pretty good work here, Ja'La. A couple of quick suggestions:
* I think the web site is solid, but there are three minor things I'd recommend. First, you need a little more explanation as to what this site is about. All you have right now is the headline on the first page; maybe you need a full-blown "about" page where you explain things for readers who might stumble across this.
* There are some other minor fixes. You should fix that "text widget" section in the right column, and I noticed that the "fundraising campaigns" page is a different layout.
* You (and many of you, actually) should have some sort of works cited as a way of crediting where these images came from and the text came from.
As for your portfolio: I think that's totally spot-on as it is. I know you've done some revision along the way this semester, and I think where you have it right now is great.
Hi Ja'La,
I'll start with the Hypertext website: I absolutely love the layout. It looks very professional, and all of the pictures are also relevant. I know you still have some stuff to add to this, but I think it looks great so far. I'm guessing the little text widget at the bottom is going to be taken out? Unless you plan on doing something with it. Overall, it looks wonderful. Side note: your essay and research look amazing too!
Your portfolio: I love it! Like the other website, it looks professional and organized, and you've clearly put the time and effort into making it very much your own. I like that your menu is on the side instead of on top, and that your homepage is your own intro. It's a good thing to have right up front. I also really love the social media links on the side! The Twitter feed was a really good idea, given your major 🙂 (P.S. I might have to steal that idea for myself!)
Your essay: This was very thorough and well thought out. I like that you explained your idea behind the original essay you chose to use for the project as well. Your essay flows nicely as well, though I think you could add a little more to the conclusion to give it a nice close (given the nature of the essay, I can see why this would be hard to do, but you don't need to worry about it much). Just make sure you give it a good spelling and grammar check, and you'll be good to go. Great work!
Hi Ja'La!
Sorry for the late comment – this week has been HECTIC!
I think you have everything coming together really nicely.
For your website: I really like the vibe. It appears very professional, like Louise said. Everything flows well so far and I think you are definitely on the way to having a really great site.
For your portfolio: I love it. It's very visually appealing and well organized. I really don't have anything to recommend, you've done a great job and have inspired me to definitely make some improvements to my own!
For your essay: What you have so far is great and you are definitely heading in the right direction. I found it interesting to read through and everything so far flowed nicely together. I also think you did a nice job of explaining your original essay. Great job and keep up the awesome work!
Sorry this is so late!
I love your layout, it is very professional! The only details I would double check would be deleting or putting something in the sidebar text widget, as well and putting something in your about page and "Fundraising Campaigns" page. In fact, I don't even think you need an about page, unless you were to do a "Meet the Author" in that section. Also, I think your site would be more credible if you added a bibliography to the end of each page as a footer of some kind.
Your portfolio as well is very organize and pretty much perfect. The only possible recommendation I could think of would be to make the text in the very top navigation bar slightly darker because I almost didn't know it was there.
In regards to your paper, I would suggest maybe adding a line in your first paragraph just to describe Gorgias.
Overall, I think you've done great work!
Here are my links!
Text-to-Hypertext Website:
This is still pretty rough, but I plan on adding some more pictures and taking out and unnecessary stuff.
Text-to-Hypertext Essay:
I have a few more things to add to this. Also, if you'd like me to put this on Docs, I can do that.
444 Portfolio:
Like the other website, this is still pretty rough, but hopefully the pages all make sense.
I would appreciate both technical and visual feedback (especially for the websites), and if anything seems unnecessary or out of place, I'd like to know that as well. Thanks!
Hi Hania,
I've read your essay and also viewed both websites. I'll start with the essay. You do a great job of introducing the paper you worked on and taking readers through the process of transforming it into a website. My only suggestions would be to introduce the text-to-hypertext project in the beginning so readers understand what the assignment was. Also, with each interaction you mention with participants, maybe explain one or two key moments that connect back to the classs, the assignment objectives, or our readings.
I think the actual hypertext website you made looks great. Its clean and the design has a great interface. My only suggestions are, now that you have the information up, think about how you want users to view your website. As of now, it just seems like information on a page, but I don't know what the purpose of the website is. For example, do you want users to view your website as a magazine/non profit/educational website? With something like that in mind, it will help transform your website to more than simply information on a page. It might help by adding a sentence or two on the front that introduces what the website is all about 🙂
For your portfolio, you have all the necessary tabs and information up which is a great start. To make it easier, I would suggest creating one page for each assignment, and then under each page creating *child* pages of the additional parts such as Social media updates 1-3. That way, the top menu wont be so crowded.
Lastly, don't forget to include a picture of yourself and a little blurb about who you are/what you do!
Thank you for all of your feedback! This actually really helps, and I'll definitely be making some changes. Thanks! 🙂
It doesn't look like you have gotten much feedback yet, but I definitely agree with what Ja'La is saying here. I think the site you have looks pretty clean, but remember that the goal of the assignment (or at least one of the goals) is to take advantage of some of the things you can do uniquely with hypertext and on the web. Right now, it's pretty much just text, which is not a whole lot different than print. What can you incorporate in terms of images, links, video, audio, or other elements? Also with your essay: I think it's okay, but I don't completely get how the usability testing went, and I think it's important that you do more to make some connection to the readings for the class. What did Krug and Redish teach you that's useful for thinking about making web sites? Finally, you need to change the "generic" elements of your site– in other words, there shouldn't be any place that says something like "this is a text widget."
As for your portfolio: Basically, you need to follow Ja'La's advice in terms of a system of menus with "child" pages so it isn't just a bunch of links at the top. And again, make sure you don't have any generic pages of the sort that you are supposed to change once you get started, like your "about" page here.
Hi Hania!
Sorry for the late comment – this week has been HECTIC!
For your website: I think that it looks really nice so far. I agree with Ja'La and definitely think that looking at your website from a viewers perspective could really help you make some adjustments to it.
For your essay: I think that you are off to a great start. It flows pretty nicely and it's well thought out. One thing that I would suggest is to introduce the actual project. While we all know what it is, I think that for the purpose of the essay, it is important to include.
For your portfolio: I think Ja'La gave great advice. Spreading the assignments onto separate pages and then creating "child" pages underneath will make it a lot easier to navigate through.
The black and white scheme as well and abundance of white space gives a very clean and organized look, and also makes me feel as though I should edit my page to look more like yours! Just make sure that you take care of the side widget on all of your pages. I also like that you put all of your icons at the top and that there is very minimal scrolling on your page.
Your hypertext essay flows and covers all of the basics of the project, though you may want to add specifics from our readings that may have altered how you wanted to create your website.
My only suggestion for your portfolio would be to add something in your home page about yourself aside from just introducing your name. Otherwise, pretty solid work!

Carved out as an independent entity from Osram, LEDVANCE has been advancing its general lighting products, adding more quality, convenience, and smartness to them. It reported in July a consolidated sales of USD 2.1 billion in 2016, sharing an outlook that it witnessed the trend lighting is becoming smart and the market anticipates more intelligent and efficient lamps. LEDVANCE successfully extended its product lines to meet the need for smart lighting.
LEDinside had an interview with Aaron Ganick, Global Head of Smart Business, LEDVANCE on the company's newly launched SYLVANIA SMART+ A19 bulb and the trends of smart lighting in the next five years.
|LEDVANCE SYLVANIA SMART+ A19 bulb (Image: LEDVANCE)
In the first week of September, LEDVANCE launched the first-of-its-kind full color smart LED bulb SYLVANIA SMART+ A19 that can be easily operated and controlled through Apple's HomeKit app and versatile voice assistant Siri without an additional gateway or Wi-Fi networking systems. The collaboration with Apple has made this little smart bulb more user friendly. The installation-screw in the bulb and search for it with HomeKit by scanning its code or putting in its product numbers- takes less than 20 seconds. Users then can immediately tailor personal scenes and settings and begin the use with the interface on the app and voice control.
The convenience it brings is not limited to indoor use. The bulb is able to be controlled remotely as well in the way that users use a stay-home Apple device, such as Apple TV or an iPad, as a bridge to switch on and off, dim, and change colors of the bulb via Bluetooth before they step into their home.
In terms of its portfolio of smart lighting products, LEDVANCE has been R&D'ing both Zigbee- and Apple HomeKit enabled products targeting different wireless technology users under the brand name SMART+, according to Ganick. "By introducing a Bluetooth based 'hub free' a portfolio, we are able to serve another side of the market, one that wants a simple to setup, no additional components needed type of solution," he said.
Raise Awareness of Smart Lighting: Second Chance to Upgrade
Some people might find smart lighting technology intimidating, especially older people; and kids can be just too young for sophisticated operation. When the use of smart lighting products is simplified and becomes more accessible, the concept of smart home could approach a larger community. Ganick explained through the simplification LEDVANCE aims to raise more awareness of smart lighting/smart home. "When smart lighting becomes so simple to install and use, more customers will be willing to give it a try. Adding voice, brightness, and color control gives a wow factor, and a reason to upgrade your lighting beyond investing in LED technology," contended Ganick.
In 2016, LEDVANCE conducted the 8th SYLVANIA Socket Survey revealing the awareness and the adoption of smart lighting and LEDs are both on the rise, with 76% of the surveyees agree smart lighting will eventually supplant regular light bulbs. Along with thermostats and house alarms, lighting has become one of the top smart technologies Americans own. It shows a surge of 40% in the adoption of smart lighting in 2016, compared with that in 2015. Four out of every five Americans expressed at least one space in their houses can benefit from smart lighting and a 55% purchasing population replied with the likelihood to purchase new smart LED bulbs.

However, the number of the actual smart lighting user population is still less than those promising figures above. That is also the current challenge LEDVANCE has encountered.
In fact, not just LEDVANCE but several industrial heavyweights pointed out it requires some time for smart lighting to be adopted as widely at home as in industrial or commercial spaces due to the lack of necessity and purpose. It needs more factors, from outside or within the end-customers, extended smart cities policies or an urge for high speed data transmission via light, for example, to drive the penetration growth of smart lighting in the residential sector.
Ganick unveiled, "LEDVANCE is working hard to market the features and functionalities of our smart products to not only our direct customers like Amazon, Costco and Home Depot, but to the end-customers themselves. People don't wake up in the morning thinking 'hey, I should go buy a smart bulb to help me go to sleep easier, and wake up better,' they have to learn about the experiences and use cases for products that they most likely have never heard of before." How to directly deliver the concept to the end-users and propel them to install smart lights becomes the company's major goal.
Barrier of Entry into the Smart Lighting Market Will Be High

Smart lighting applications represent the next generation of lighting. Ganick believes it will for certain help pump up the LED industry within or even less than a decade, especially that the property of LED- real time reaction- makes it currently one and the only light source able to connect with digital components for digital lighting. That differentiate LED from other lighting technologies.
The massive amount of user data smart lighting products collect is also able to feedback the LED industry preferences of end-users, enabling LED makers to improve their products with spot-on advancements. To be able to connect with systems like Apple's HomeKit, they have to ensure their products meet a set of stringent quality requirements.
During the process of quality upgrade, barriers of entry will be shaping up higher. For small and mid-sized smart light manufacturers currently in the smart lighting space, without enough finance and technology to invest in the quality upgrade, they will hardly survive. Eventually they have no choice but to exit the market or be acquired by larger companies that can both financially and technically support them to carry on their development. On the other, the big get bigger. The space of smart lighting, in the following years, is projected to be more concentrated.
Another trend showing in the market is the rise of the voice controlled product segment, Ganick added. At present, the Zigbee-based smart lighting segment is relatively big. Despite the fact that a solid voice sensing technology foundation is yet to fully develop beyond simple commands and routines, with the inherent benefits that it can bring to the disabled, the elders, and kids and that it operates without a hub, voice-controlled smart lighting has a high chance to scale up and the demand will certainly soar, Ganick expects.

For some reason I keep running into the same problems in my line of work. This bothers me. This is starting to bother me more and more.
Whenever I bring up problems that I see at a company, the coworkers that have been there for years grin, shake their heads and tell me that somethings never change. They too saw the problem, so I feel validated in my view of the problem. And this problem always comes down to either mismanagement or company policy that is mismatched with the wish to run a department well.
It might be surprising, but people generally want to work well and achieve at their work.
And the reason why they cannot or just give up hoping that they can is because they run into problems which prevent them from doing so. Not technical problems, those can be solved, but human problems.
The problem with these human problems is that they can only be fixed by transferring your knowledge and view of the problem to those who are causing it. But there lies the crux: Usually the person causing the problem has no need, want or even capacity in understanding the problem.
Though it would be preferable if they would.
So we stick with a second option: using external pressure that can force someone into not creating the problem. Managers is what I believe they're being called.
Situations have an inertia of their own, meaning that once a situation is established, it requires work and energy to change. The same goes for management styles, which cán solve problems but generally bring a slew of problems of their own with them. That's why good managers practice management by exception.
So how do you change the human problem of a management style that does not match the reality and need of a company, when the company "can just work" this way?
It's IT the equivalent of everyone working on a win2k machine; "because gosh darnit, they still work, so there is no need to replace them is there?"

What (re-)introduction can I provide that tops Dr. Frankenstein's? None that I can think of.
I truly feel alive, again, after a school year that really did a number on me. I survived, even thrived by some measures, but the last thing I wanted to do at any point was rehash it in writing. But spring semester has ended, and I find myself jovial enough to reconnect with you all, on this the 7-month anniversary of my most recent post.
I scrolled backwards in my calendar and thought "wow, that stuff happened...yesterday, it seems like". It has been an eventful ~210 days. In very rough order:
* I became the official bunny volunteer at the animal shelter.
* I joined a community handbell choir. The average musicianship is quite high because it contains so many ringers somehow associated with IU's Jacobs School of Music.
* I have become a dedicated fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins. They play hockey well, and seem like nice enough people off the ice. I am decidedly not a dedicated fan of the Chicago Blackhawks. They play hockey well, but do not seem like nice enough people off the ice. A Pens-Stars Stanley Cup Finals series would suit me just fine.
* A follow-on from that: I am learning to play hockey. The next oldest student in my hockey class isn't in double digits for age yet. At the beginning, I was twice as tall, but had half the skills. However I have the advantage that I have already learned how to do complex skills with my body, and thus am just layering these new skills on top of a strong kinesthetic sense. It's a disadvantage to be learning to stand both on the ice and off the ice at the same time.
* I joined a biomechanics study that requires me to wear a FitBit for an entire year :/
* I fostered another rabbit, this one a beautiful whiskey red colored Belgian Hare, named Rosalee.
* I broke my foot (stress fracture that felt unlike any other stress fracture I have ever had) on New Years Day. Thanks to extraordinarily generic medical care, I was in and out of boot three times with multiple re-injuries until the second week of April. I had originally been offered a recovery time of 4-6 weeks. A full 18 weeks later, I am finally running 1.5 miles at a time.
* This spring semester I taught a 3 credit-hour lecture class to 221 undergraduates, while the regular professor was on sabbatical. My sole assistant/co-conspirator was my grader, an undergraduate who took the class last semester. Many many times I would look around and think "they're just going to like....let me do this. Isn't anyone going to check up on me? Hmmm, guess not." I will never fear speaking to groups of people ever again.
* This spring semester I completed a 10-hours-per-week clinical practicum at a local high school. Next year my clinical internship at the same site counts 20-hours-per-week.
* This spring semester I took 9 credit hours of classes that I didn't teach.
* This spring semester I taught triathlon swim lessons at the University's recreational swimming facility.
* To facilitate learning hockey, this spring semester I got a job at a skate guard (you skate during open skate to make sure the Rink Rats don't bother the nicer and less-skating-abled patrons) at the local rink. My first minimum wage job since the summer of 2000!
* I'm sure there is more...oh yeah, I taught weight lifting at 8 am every morning. I may have spent nearly the entire spring semester in a boot, but I was not out of shape by any definition.
A good portion of that ended last week. Tomorrow I start summer classes. Because of the devolving situation in Turkey, July will most likely be spent in Israel. Mom and I intend to revive the "Best of the West" tag in August before fall classes start.
WARNING: For the next couple of weeks I am going to be posting about last summer's trip to Africa. I need to get those posts and pictures secured somewhere that isn't my head.

Consistance is key and being able to withstand the wits of time in the public eye is very rare. So often you hear about a company that may have made headlines but then you never hear from them again or an inventor who may have created this new technology but then the trend dies off fast. It doesn't matter what industry or position you are in, the key is to stay relevant with the times. Todays news is the new tomorrow. What I mean by that is you always want to be five steps ahead and actually be intune with whats going on in the world and the world wants to hear what your input are on relevant topics.
I love this quote by David Ogilvy, he says "If you want to be interesting, be interested." Be involved in the community online and don't be afraid as a business owner to speak on sensitive topics. People really do want to hear from CEOs, founders, co-founders and owners of successful corporations. You want to stay consistent, don't post for a few days and then no one hears from you in a couple of weeks.
As a Senior Marketing Strategist and Founder of Enhanced Group One, I guide my clients to not follow the traditional model that says, "As a business person you have to be conservative for the brand of the business." I somewhat do agree with this because like at Uber who spoke out saying that they support Trump after winning the election, is now getting a lot of backlash and now people are boycotting uber and telling people to not support the corportation. So in this regard, I do agree that you do have to be careful in protecting the brand of the company and you don't want to be too extreme with your views if those view points can potientially lose you sponsorship, support of your community, and overall money. But what I am saying is that you have to speak up of whats trending in the minds of the masses with a more positive approach.
Richard Branson the entrepreneur once said that, "A business has to be involving, it has to be fun, and it has to exercise your creative instincts." This statement is very true. You have to be involved as a business owner. I understand you don't have the time, so either find the time or have one of your manager or VPs talk on behalf of the company's brand or hire someone like me (Christopher Spruill). Get involved in the blogs, social media and the discussions today don't wait do it now because your business depends on it!

According to Biutiful's press notes, Alejandro González Iñárritu claims that he's had enough of "multiple lines, fractured structures and crossing narratives." That isn't true, though one thing is undeniable: The Mexican filmmaker hasn't lost his appetite for overstatement. Maybe he believes in a vengeful god. That's one way, at least, of explaining how everyone in Biutiful, not just its main character, is a walking guilt trip. González Iñárritu's punishing, nuance-erasing ethos—call it a muckraking imperative—consistently distorts social tone: He could make Rodeo Drive look like a South African shantytown, which is how he essentially sees Barcelona throughout his new film. The cosmopolitan Spanish city, unrecognizable to these eyes, becomes the setting for the Job-ian saga of a man, Uxbal (Javier Bardem), who tries to put his affairs in order after learning he has terminal cancer. The problem isn't that this underworld doesn't exist in Barcelona, but that it's the only side of the city the filmmaker cares to see.
Like Matt Damon's character in Clint Eastwood's kookily sincere and unabashedly sentimental Hereafter, Bardem's Uxbal is hired by grieving families to converse with their recently departed loved ones. González Iñárritu's unfussy fixation on Uxbal's genuine gift becomes the film's most interesting and least strenuous plotline, and it's largely through Bardem's fiercely physical performance that you get a creepily abstract sense of how these conversations with the dead seem to have contributed to his cancer. Freakish moth-like creatures hang from his ceiling, taunting him with the death they appear to represent, but they're more than a filmmaker's busy affectation. Bardem's haunted face—a visage that, while morose and not without its flashes of anger and fear, never belies his character's acceptance of death—truly suggests these creatures are a dying man's hallucination, transmissions from an afterlife that calls to him.
It's strange that the film's most floridly aesthetic articulations of grief should also be its most tranquil. Maybe it's because Bardem suits González Iñárritu: This fine actor's discreet consideration of Uxbal's turmoil helps to bring a talented but hyperbolic filmmaker down to earth. At its best, Biutiful, essentially a miserablist's version of Kurosawa's Ikiru, is a reflection on emotional and spiritual inheritance and the decay of the human body. It's a muddled vision, but it feels poignant and realistic throughout scenes depicting Uxbal trying to ensure for his children's future and helping his junkie wife, Marambra (Maricel Álvarez), keep her shit together. At its worst, though, the film feels overstuffed, raising more questions than it's prepared to answer, saddled with extraneous storylines that don't exactly illuminate Uxbal's experience, existing only to stress, over and over, González Iñárritu's cynical view of human life—that we all die as guiltily as we live.
In the end, you may be forgiven for thinking the film is another collaboration between González Iñárritu and Guillermo Arriaga. Though Uxbal's slow waltz toward death is the narrative's dominant line, it does frequently intersect with the stories of undocumented workers, African and Asian, for whom Uxbal negotiates rights on their behalf with police and sweatshop owners. Dubiously, the three languages spoken in the film are subtitled in separate colors, though not in the colors one might expect: white for Spanish, blue for Chinese, and yellow for Wolof. This woefully misguided decision isn't an artistic one; it's an act of capitulation to subtitle-phobic audiences that underestimates and insults the average person's perfectly natural ability to recognize differences between languages, even when they're not being spoken at the same time. And though this marketing ploy happens to send out a mixed message (emphasizing cultural difference while simultaneously screaming "United Colors of Benetton!"), it's one that's certainly in keeping with González Iñárritu's work until now.

Witty Wednesday # 92 'Positions in Bed'
I got this from Daffy who is taking a bloggy break but she is still sending me WW material which is lovely of her.
If you're not familiar with the work of Steven Wright, he's the famous erudite scientist who once said: "I woke up one morning, and all of my stuff had been stolen and replaced by exact duplicates." His mind sees things differently than most of us do, to our amazement and amusement. Here are some of his gems:
1 - I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
2 - Borrow money from pessimists -- they don't expect it back.
3 - Half the people you know are below average.
4 - 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
5 - 82.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
6 - A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.
7 - A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
8 - If you want the rainbow, you got to put up with the rain.
9 - All those who believe in psycho kinesis, raise my hand.
10 - The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
11 - I almost had a psychic girlfriend, ..... but she left me before we met.
12 - OK, so what's the speed of dark?
13 - How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?
14 - If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
15 - Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
16 - When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
17 - Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.
18 - Hard work pays off in the future; laziness pays off now.
19 - I intend to live forever.... so far, so good.
20 - If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
21 - Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
22 - What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
23 - My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."
24 - Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?
25 - If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
26 - A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.
27 - Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
