I had readied another post to be displayed today and when I was about to publish it, my phone rang. An old College friend called and hell, we hadn't talked in over 10 years.
As always with old friends you tend to catch up on what has occurred in each others lives in your absence. We both have children and unfortunately, he's divorced, twice!
We laughed about that and I asked how he didn't learn his lesson the first time. He informed me through laughter that those were simply dress rehearsals for the true love in his life which happens to be a young woman he met in Beijing, China. I wished him well and he thanked me after informing me that she is definitely the one. My friend, always the optimist.
After hanging up with a smile on my face from reminiscing, I thought about that story and laughed again. When I got back on my computer to complete the post I was about to publish, that story was still fresh in my mind and I don't know why, but I felt that some of you would get a real kick out of it. Especially those of you who have been confronted with the same type of embarrassing situation.
So, I've decided to write about it here for you to decide for yourselves if you think it's funny or not. Oh, and if it's not funny to you, maybe you simply had to be there to see the humor in it. Lol.
I am sure that many of you have done somethings with men or boys that you'd just assume would remain between the two of you. However, when that man or boy betrays your trust, it can be somewhat embarrassing, to say the least.
In College, men or rather boys for whatever odd reason feel the need to boast about their conquests, if you know what I mean. Oh, before I go on please let me clarify that statement- not me! I learned my lesson in my senior year of high school. I talked a College Junior into coming by my home to entertain me since I was home for the weekend alone. Only problem was she told me that she would drop by after a party she wanted to attend. My dumb ass made a Cardinal sin, I spoke out of turn. Who do you tell secrets to? Your best friends, that's who. So after telling my two best friends of what I had set up, I felt like the big man on campus. Damn, a college junior to boot.
Well, unfortunately they went to the same party. After a few beers, one of my friends opened his mouth and informed her that I was home waiting for her to arrive. Damn, I get a phone call and she's not happy. I can still remember her exact words to me: "You talk to much, and I refuse to deal with anyone who tells my personal business", and then she hung up on me. I learned a very important lesson that night, anything that is to occur or has occurred between a man and a woman, should remain solely between them and no one else, ever.
Sorry I got off track, lets get back to the original story. Well some guys never learn this lesson and as with this story it can catch up to you when you least expect it.
So, Frank (not his real name, of course) supposedly had a sexual tryst with Tammy (made up name as well). He couldn't wait to tell all of us that were his friends. He was really excited about the fact that he had finally got to sleep with her, which had been his dream since the day we set foot on campus as snot nosed freshman.
Now, since the campus had only approximately 20 thousand students and that included a vast majority who commuted to class each day, exactly how long do you think it would take for this story to travel across campus? If you said not long, you're right!
Now Frank whom I hadn't talked to in years was a really nice guy, but he was always trying to fit in somewhere. He was really harmless and a bit spoiled since he was the only child of an affluent family. Looking back, he was always trying to impress us in one way or another. But what the hell, we were in college and everyone was trying to find their identities.
Now Tammy, she was drop dead beautiful and she knew it (as of course did all of us). Funny thing though, most men don't understand this but sometimes beauty has a mean streak in it. Frank didn't know it, and looking back I wish I had warned him about it. The first time I laid eyes on Tammy I was sitting in the lobby of the female's dorm and she and several other upperclassmen came through. A football player, I cannot recall his name to save my life, made the mistake of telling her how nice she looked on this particular day. Wrong move! She looked at him and stated, "I don't need you to tell me how I look!" She continued on through the lobby and other guys sitting around tried to contain their laughter. I knew the guy was embarrassed, but hey, he should have kept that thought to himself.
On another note, later I got to see the weak side of her as well. Somehow I became friends with her boyfriend and he didn't treat her all that well. Once after I had been to her room with him on several occasions, he asked me to meet him there. I arrived and he wasn't there, it was just she and I. After about 30 minutes I became impatient and was about to leave when she began crying. Hell, I was only 18 and she wasn't my girl so the last thing I wanted to do was comfort someone else s girlfriend when this had absolutely nothing to do with me.
She confided in me that night that their relationship wasn't very good and that he had at least one other girlfriend on campus and one in his hometown. What really bothered me about this whole thing is something I'd like to ask all women whom are like her. How can one-day you seem so confident (the incident in the lobby) and the next day you're crying over a man that you know is clearly worthless? I'm confused, however if any of you would like to enlighten me on this matter, I would certainly welcome it.
Back to her and the Frank incident. Her boyfriend soon left college apparently because his hometown girlfriend was having his baby, at least that's what she (Tammy) told me, which I am sure is the reason that she ended up spending the night in Franks room after a party.
Poor Frank, he really should have kept this whole thing a secret for two reasons. One being that it could have possibly developed into so much more and secondly he may have never had to face the music about a week later. That is exactly how long it took for this story to travel around campus and get back to her.
It was after lunch and as usual on the day of basketball games everyone hung out at the Student Union. Frank and I were sitting at a table with several other basketball players and my roommate. Everyone was having a great time, that is until the cheerleaders showed up. Oh, did I forget to mention that Tammy was also the head cheerleader?
When they came in some of the guys around started giving Frank pats on the back, that's how big this story had gotten. He was a little embarrassed to say the least, telling people probably sounded like a good idea in the beginning but, wow.
The cheerleaders went to the customary booths where guys with no self confidence could ogle them and guys with too much confidence could get shot down in front of everyone.
After what seemed like a line of guys had past, most acknowledging Frank in a manner I'd never even sen before. From her vantage point Tammy could see our table and I think this ritual of men heaping praise on him for what should have been a private moment simply got the best of her. She walked over to the DJ that was there every game day, to try to get the students pumped up before game time. After the song went off, he handed her the mike, and the floor. All I can remember thinking was, "this is not going to be nice."
She started by talking about the upcoming game and got everyone revved up, as people started pounding on tables and clapping. Then she stated that she needed to end with a personal note. She looked across to our table and said, "Frank, stand up!" Now, I knew that this wasn't going to be good.
People started chanting Frank, Frank, Frank! Like he was on the basketball team. He didn't stand but all eyes were on him anyway. She continued by saying, that she was sure that many of the students had probably heard the tale of a night of passion shared by she and Frank. With that admission, students started whistling and cheering even more.
Then she smiled and dropped a bomb on everyone there. She said, this story would have been true, however Frank left out one very important detail. Really smiling now and about to laugh, she screamed, He couldn't get an erection! Ouch!
Damn, now all eyes were truly on Frank and he laughed, as we all did. People in the room laughed because they thought it was a funny and embarrassing situation for Frank. Frank my roommate and I laughed because we knew it was payback for him breaking an unwritten code between men and women- don't kiss and tell. We also laughed because by her making the statement, she verified that which we already knew was true, Frank was telling the truth. However, he still should have kept it to himself.
After the game I was on my way to the locker room and Tammy ran up to me to congratulate me on a great game. After giving me a courtesy hug, she asked if I could come to her room after I was dressed. Stating that she wanted to talk to me about something.
When I arrived, she was as beautiful as ever, however, she was sad. She went on to tell me that she thought Frank was different and that she felt that he had betrayed her confidence. She stated that as with all of us, we have a reputation to uphold and she refused to have it damaged by someone who was simply too immature to understand this.
She then asked if I would mind apologizing to him for her. She went on to say that she would feel uncomfortable talking to him at this time. I informed her that I would talk to him, and then I asked a question of my own. I started by saying that I knew that it was none of my business, but I wanted to know if his story was true. She smiled sheepishly, and stated, "he's your friend, you tell me." We both laughed and she hugged me and I was off to my dorm room for a beer celebration for the win.
Now, before you determine how you feel about this story and how she handled it, I think I should warn you that it does have a happy ending. Yep! They've been married for 18 years and have three beautiful children to show for it.
You see, Frank manned up, apologized for his speaking out on a private matter and promised never to do anything like that ever again. She forgave him because he really meant no harm, he was simply so happy to have had the opportunity to be with her he couldn't contain it.
After I sat down and began writing this post, I dusted off my old address book and called Frank. They still have the same number after all these years. When he answered the phone not knowing who was calling him from Vegas, I quickly said, "Hey remember that time Tammy busted you out for telling her business?" He started laughing and soon she was on the other line taking up for him. It's great to have friends and even better to have friends for life.

Often newcomers to WordPress get confused when trying to pick the best plugins for WordPress website they should use among so many that are available.
That's the great thing about WordPress. Just in the WordPress Plugin Repository there are more than 30,000 plugins. Not to mention huge amount of plugins on CodeCanyon.
There are many questions to be answered. Like what is the best WordPress plugin for SEO, Social Media, Performance, Security, Backup etc.
Some prefer one plugin from another, others have different opinions while third just don't like the look of plugin…
But all in all some plugins just segregate from others by their performance, quality and developer support.
Every WordPress developer or user has a toolkit of plugins they can't live without. They usually include solutions for caching, security and adding other improvements.
But with so many free and premium plugins available, how do you sort the good from the bad?
20 Best Plugins For WordPress Website
Below is a collection of essential plugins, all chosen based on their usefulness, quality, popularity and my personal recommendation.
Not all are plugins, there are some tools that can easily be used on WordPress site as well.
Below products can help in website security, optimization, speed, increase traffic, engage visitors, make site stand out …
Backups are extremely important for any online business. If you have cPanel in your hosting then Softaculous can be used for backups. It is pretty easy and convenient to use.
But if you don't have cPanel or want to let plugin do backups, then BackWPup is solution for you.
It has free and paid version. Free version is great and can be enough for full site backups. You can even schedule backups in free version.
For more information about BackWPup and other free backup alternatives check out Best Free WordPress Backup Plugins Comparison.
iThemes Security
This is one of best free WordPress plugins which provides huge number of ways to secure and protect your site.
If there is any vulnerability in WordPress, be sure this plugin will patch it up.
Some of its features include:
– Changes the URLs for WordPress dashboard areas including login and admin
– Scans your site to instantly report where vulnerabilities exist and fixes them in seconds
– Detects bots and other attempts to search for vulnerabilities
– Makes regular backups of your WordPress database
It comes in free and paid version. Alternatives are Sucuri Security and Wordfence Security.
UPDATE: I recommend using free WordPress security plugin All In One WP Security & Firewall.
Premium SEO Pack
I just love this plugin for SEO optimization. This plugin has various additional modules included. It has free version so users can test it out first.
Once paid it is yours for good and is packed with bunch of extra features which will make many of your installed plugins redundant.
I don't want to repeat myself so if you are interested in finding out more information's about Premium SEO Pack be sure to read Premium SEO Pack vs All In One SEO vs WordPress SEO .
It includes SEO plugins comparison table for better overview.
UPDATE: As SEO optimization plugin I highly recommend using WordPress SEO by Yoast which I currently use on all my sites..
Do you need to collect feedback information's from your visitors?
Want to add surveys, pools, voting, quiz to your site? No problem. There are many plugins for that too.
I recommend SurveyMonkey. It has few pricing plans, but there is free option too. It can be easily integrated in any website including WordPress sites.
Easily customize the look and feel of your surveys. Add your logo, company name, colors, and images.
Create your own survey URL and send respondents to a promotional landing page upon survey completion.
Get the data you need with required questions and response validation. Create interactive surveys and more.
Gather responses with one handy URL by including your link on emails, websites, Twitter, Facebook…. Surveys created will also look great on handheld devices.
As alternatives you can also use WP Survey And Quiz Tool or WordPress Simple Survey.
Splurgy is great tool for engaging visitors, building mai list, promotion etc.
Create online giveaways and sweepstakes, incentivize users to socially engage with your brand, amplify sales with coupons, convert fans and followers and much more.
Splurgy provides a simple, easy to use platform for you to create your unique online promotion in minutes.

By increasing the visibility of your promotions, Splurgy helps drive online traffic to your brand and real customers to your business.
Users gain entries to your promotion by engaging with your social media, and sharing it with their social network via Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, and more.
Rafflecopter is great alternative.
TinyMCE Spellcheck
Nobody wants to have his website full of grammatical mistakes. This simple plugin which adds a contextual spell, style and grammar checker to WordPress.
In order to get it working you will need to install TinyMCE Advanced which enables advanced features in WordPress visual editor.
I have it on every site I manage. As alternative to TinyMCE Spellcheck you can use After the Deadline.
Social Media Feather
In order to provide visitors option to share your content you need some social sharing plugin.
This is good choice if your WordPress theme doesn't have inbuilt feature for social sharing (most premium themes have it).
I have tested many and Social Media Feather is definitely my number one free social sharing plugin. It also has paid version too.
WordPress Social Media Feather is a lightweight free social media WordPress plugin that allows you to quickly and painlessly add social sharing and following features to all your posts, pages and custom post types.
The plugin includes all major social sharing providers like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Reddit, Pinterest, tumblr, LinkedIn and even e-mail.
As alternative you can use Floating Social Bar or Floating Social. Also I would recommend Likebox Slider for WordPress.
UPDATE: I highly recommend using Easy Social Share Buttons plugin. It is paid plugin but worth every cent.
Yet Another Related Posts Plugin
Displaying related content at the end of your articles is an effective way to increase page views.
If you theme doesn't already have related posts option built, then reaching out for good plugin is way to go.
Exposing visitors to related posts is a great way to encourage them to stick around and engage with site.
YARPP displays pages, posts and custom post types related to the current post, introducing your readers to other relevant content on site. It also has very original name!
Definitely check out YARPP if you need to insert related posts option in your theme.
As alternative you could use nrelate Related Content which is a third-party related content service provider.
Social Login
Social Login is a professionally, free WordPress plugin that allows your visitors to comment, login and register with 25+ Social Networks like for example Facebook, Twitter, Google, LinkedIn, PayPal, LiveJournal, Instagram and Yahoo.
This plugin is great especially if you want to allow visitors to comment on your website using different social sharing sites.
It will increase your WordPress user engagement.
Depending on how much social sharing sites you want to enable setting this plugin can be pain in the ass.
Not because it is hard or complicated as much as time-consuming. But once all done it will be worth it.
Another popular and worthy alternative for comments is DISQUS.
Slider Revolution
Having slider on website really makes one more appealing. There are many WordPress slider plugins available on the market.
However, most of them slow down your website significantly. Also many SEO experts say sliders are bad for SEO especially if there are at the top of site.
Whatever your opinion on sliders may be, Slider Revolution and Layer Slider are most popular and best slider plugins for WordPress.
They have really huge amount of features and possibilities. But greatness comes at price as you will have to pay if you want to use one of them.
If you need free slider plugin then check out Soliloquy Lite or Cyclone Slider 2. But bear in mind that they have just basic features.
MailPoet Newsletter
Creating subscriber list is important for every website owner. With MailPoet you can easily create beautiful newsletters, post notifications and autoresponders.
Newsletters can be easily created. Simply drop your articles, images, dividers and free form text, insert your logo and more.
Move them around at will. Edit as you wish. You can also create newsletters to be sent when new content is published, or weekly summarize of posts, send a welcome message….
See how your subscribers act with detail statistics on open, clicked, bounced and unsubscribed mail list and newsletters. There is free and paid version.
Good alternatives to MailPoet are MailChimp, AWeber and Campaign Monitor.
Email marketing is the easiest and most reliable way to make sure that your users keep coming back.
Look around at all your favorite blogs or websites, and you will find that they all have an email list. But what is the best way to grow your email list?
OptinMonster is on of the best WordPress lead generation plugin. It allows you to add beautiful opt in forms into your WordPress site and helps you get more subscribers.
It comes with page level targeting, split testing, analytics and exit-intent technology which allows you to display a lightbox popup when a user is about to leave your website.
It allows you to create and integrate effective email sign up forms on your website.
It works with most popular email service providers like MailChimp, Aweber, ConstantContact, Campaign Monitor, Mad Mimi, MailPoet and more.
For free alternatives you can check Dreamgrow Scroll Triggered Box, Optin Revolution: WordPress Popup, Icegram.
Paid alternatives can be Ninja Popups, Pippity or WP Subscribers.
W3 Total Cache
Caching is the best way to easily improve your website and users experience without having to make change to your site's content. So it is natural to have some caching plugin installed.
W3 Total Cache is definitely one of best plugins for WordPress. It improves the user experience of your site by increasing server performance, reducing the download times and providing transparent content delivery network (CDN) integration.
You can integrate it with CloudFlare or MaxCDN for extra site speed.
With over than 3M downloads this is one of the most popular and used WordPress plugins. But be aware that it can also cause conflicts with other plugins or themes.
Personally I have had many troubles using it. But it is still great plugin to have in your arsenal.
UPDATE: I prefer and personally use WP Super Cache on all my sites.
Contact Form 7
The most popular free form plugin available. Contact Form 7 has been downloaded over 20 million times in the WordPress Plugin Repository.
This plugin can manage multiple contact forms, plus you can customize the form and any email content with simple markup.
It also include support for AJAX-powered submission, CAPTCHA and Akismet spam filtering.
So if you need some kind of contact form on your website Contact Form 7 is best choice.
Other alternatives are Gravity Forms and Ninja Forms.
UPDATE: I recommend using Easy WordPress Contact Form Plugin – WPForms Lite if you need very simple but easy to use contact form and your theme doesnt have one integrated.
Or in other words, If This Then That. One of most useful tools to make everyday WordPress tasks less consuming. But it is not limited to WordPress.
IFTTT is a service that lets other services or software (like WordPress, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram ect.) talk to each and perform actions when certain things occur.
It can help you update Facebook from WordPress blog. Or you can automatically tweet every time you publish a new blog post.
You can read more by checking Best Way To Automate WordPress Tasks.
Great alternative is NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster.
WP Smush.it
Optimization of images is very important especially on websites with lots of pictures. The smaller in size and better optimized images, the better.
Smush.it optimizes images files to help improve site speed. This plugin strips meta data from JPEGs, optimizes JPEG compression and strips un-used colours from indexed images.
It reduces image file sizes and improve performance using the Smush.it API within WordPress.
Every image you add to a page or post will be automatically run through Smush.it behind the scenes. You don't have to do anything different.
You can also run your existing images through Smush.it Some alternatives are EWWW Image Optimizer or Hammy.
It is also recommended to have some lazy load plugin which replaces all your post images, post thumbnails, gravatar images and content iframes with a placeholder and loads the content as it gets close to enter the browser window when the visitor scrolls the page.
By doing that it makes your site load faster and saves bandwidth. Decent lazy load plugin is BJ Lazy Load.
BulletProof Security
One of best plugins for WordPress and way to protect your website from hackers is BulletProof Security.
There are actually a lot of security plugins at the official WordPress plugins directory, promising to protect your site through their different features.
Above I have already mentioned great security plugins. But why didn't I mention this one too?
Because this one is more .htacces security oriented and it is not bad to have it active on site and working parallel with one of the above security plugins.
To summarize. BulletProof Security automatically creates and activates .htaccess website security protection, even if you don't have a full understanding about .htaccess files.
Go – Responsive Pricing & Compare Tables
If you need to put pricing tables in your site posts and content, then Go Pricing is plugin for you.
Beside the usual pricing table style, Videos (YouTube, Vimeo, Screenr) and images are also supported with optional responsivity.
It's very easy and fast to create stunning tables and integrate them into your WordPress site using Admin Panel.
Beside traditional pricing tables feature, the plugin is suitable also for creating team viewer and compare tables. The Go Pricing can be used at many different areas.
On my comparison page you can see all pricing tables I have created and used on this site till this day using Go Pricing plugin.
Also check out detailed review on Go Pricing – Create Stunning WordPress Responsive Tables With Go Pricing.
As free alternatives you can try Pricing Table or Easy Pricing Tables by Fatcat Apps.

text: As is usually the case with airline mishaps, the first eyewitness accounts turn out to be less than accurate. This seems to be what happened in the SPANAIR MD-82 crash last week in Madrid, Spain. Initially there were numerous reports from people at or near the airport that the left engine of the MD-82 was on fire as the aircraft lifted off the runway. It turns out that a review of an airport video camera showed there were no visible flames coming out of either engine. (Even if one engine was having a serious problem, every commercial aircraft is designed to takeoff and successfully fly with a full load on only one engine.) Instead, the video shows the aircraft wing drop shortly after liftoff, with the aircraft then striking the ground and exploding. As I mentioned in a previous blog post about a wild crosswind landing attempt at Hamburg Airport that was captured on camera, it would be beneficial to have video cameras recording all takeoffs and landings at major airports. Video of the B-2 crash in Guam earlier this year certainly aided that investigation, and the video of the SPANAIR crash has already been used to eliminate one possible cause. However, the mishap video taken at the Madrid airport was apparently from a security camera, and not a dedicated runway camera, so in this case it was more a case of luck that they captured usable video of the MD-82 going down. The data collected by such cameras can provide a wealth of info on the crash, and help find the cause of the mishap sooner. Lets hope the use of airport video in both the B-2 and the SPANAIR crash investigations highlights the need for dedicated runway video cameras at any airport with commercial traffic.

"There has been a connection between the Parish of Bedford, Leigh since 25th August 1865 when a Faculty was granted to build a new School on the land attached and belonging to the Parish of St Thomas, Bedford, Leigh. It has been a link that successive buildings of both the School and Church have nurtured and developed for over 150 years, with Clergy and Church Officers playing an active part as Governors and Visitors for generations of Children and Teaching Staff.
Across the School Terms and the Church's Liturgical year there are numerous occasions when the School, either by Class, in part, or its entirety have held Lessons, Services or given Presentations in the Church; from Harvest, Christmas, Lent and Easter, as well as the Leaver's Service. The Annual Confirmation Service is always a joy when many Children are prepared for an important step in their life as Christians. But there are also the Communion Services when the Upper Years contribute to the Parish Mass alongside our Parishioners.
There is also a set programme when the Parish Priest takes Assemblies or celebrates a School Mass in the Halls.
The spiritual and pastoral link between the Church and School is an important one to respect, develop and act as a support and encouragement during every pupils' maturity at St Thomas CE Primary School. Our intention is always to present a traditional approach to worship and a contemporary spirituality that forms part of every pupils learning pattern and prepares them for a positive view towards a mature Christian Faith. Alongside this, the Church is also seen as a resource for the Teaching and Ancillary Staff to utilise and explore when appropriate, as well as be assured of our commitment to support them.
Please pray for our School with this prayer which is said at the beginning of all Governors Meetings;
God, our Father, we offer this prayer for all schools, colleges and places of learning but especially St Thomas Primary School.
We pray for those who teach, that they may be endowed with the same love and understanding we see revealed in the life and teaching of Jesus Christ.
We pray for the ancillary staff who work here and minister to the children through their skills, may they be constantly renewed in their commitment to serve both children and staff in their duties.
We pray for the children that they may be guided in the way that leads to the beauty of life which Christ brings to us all.
May both Staff and Children accept with gratitude and humility your divine gifts of opportunity that comes from learning your ways.
May the Spirit of truth inspire them all to use their studies and learning to understand God's purpose for all people to live in the beauty of harmony, made known through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen"

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 13 (UPI) -- Former catcher Mike Matheny has been named the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, succeeding the retired Tony La Russa, the team said Sunday.
The Cardinals said Matheny, 41, will be officially introduced Monday.
Matheny retired as a player in 2007 after catching for the Cardinals from 2000-04. He has served as a roving coach in the St. Louis organization since then but has no major-league experience as a full-time coach or manager.
La Russa walked away from the job after guiding the Cards to the 11th World Series victory in franchise history -- becoming the first manager in baseball history to quit after winning a world championship.
Also officially interviewed for the job were third-base coach Jose Oquendo, Class AAA Memphis manager Chris Maloney, Chicago White Sox third base coach Joe McEwing, former Chicago Cubs second baseman Ryne Sandberg and former Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona.

I don't think I could reasonably construct an > introductory problem that couldn't be solved with it, and I haven't > yet found an application for which I've needed more. I think interact is a bit ugly. Most introductory problems are "take a small amount of data, do something". In that case using Hugs/GHCi with :main arguments to give in the arguments, getArgs to read them and putStrLn to show the results is a very beautiful and does about all that you need. Very few programs are actually interactive - if they are they should usually get a GUI. As for beginner issues with rank-2 types, I've been learning Haskell for years now, and have never felt the need for a rank-2 type. If the interface for some feature requires rank-2 types I'd call that an abstraction leak in most cases. It certainly means that you can't properly Hoogle for it, can't compile it with Yhc, can't do full type inference etc. Thanks Neil

There's no getting-around the fact that, volume of data generated by most businesses these days, is simply humongous! We can no longer afford our systems and applications to be shut down even for few minutes (or seconds, rather). That would, quite simply, translate to revenue-loss running into millions. On top of that, the probability of losing sensitive data due to system failures, is a constant nightmare that haunts most of us!Wouldn't it be amazing, if we could go about our businesses without having to worry about data losses and consequences of system failure? That's where we come in! Cloud DR, as it is commonly referred to, deals with creating a disaster recovery plan utilizing cloud storage. There are 4 ways you can go about doing so, based on how quickly you can restore the system after a disaster, starting from the slowest to the fastest:
Backup and Restore
This entails updating your data simultaneously in an online repository provided by your Cloud Service Provider, in addition to your on-premises storage. In case your system fails and is wiped clean; you still possess an up-to-date copy of your data on the cloud - all nice and clean. You can automate downloading of your data as well! This, however, does not eliminate the requirement of an external hard drive or a local backup; which means, you would have to recreate your system, in case of a failure.
Pilot Light
In this, a minimal version of the environment is always running on the cloud. When the system fails, you can start your cloud servers and let them take up all the workload. This would also require scaling up of your system, depending on the instances running currently. You can save face, while trying to get your on-premises system, up and running!
Warm Standby
This approach involves having a scaled-down version of a fully functional environment, always running on cloud, sharing small workloads. When disaster strikes, they can automatically start taking up the request, by using the most useful feature of the cloud – Auto Scaling.
Multi Site
This is the best approach. It involves splitting the workload equally between on-premises infrastructure and cloud, in an active : active configuration. No matter how worse the situation is, or however long it takes to get your system up and running, your entire workload would be reduced, since it is shared with the the cloud servers. Your customers won't even notice the difference!
Many Cloud providers like Microsoft Azure and AWS Cloud offer fantastic storage solutions like S3, Glacier, Blob storage, etc. which allow you to store your data based on how frequently you'd need it - making the time spent in finding the right data, almost redundant.
BluePi has the expertise and the experience required in setting you up with the right data storage and back-up solution customized for your business. We'll even ensure that your data is absolutely safe, and accessible only to those select few, chosen by you!By leveraging our expertise on Cloud, you can now lay all your worries about losing your data, and system failures, to rest.

So are these file sizes too big? I like saving the images relatively large so there's lots of detail, but if the file sizes are too big for people, I can make them smaller. If no one really says anything I'm just going to leave it how it is.
Well, enjoy, guise!

The truck drove north up Ashland, and I chased him on foot. I was wearing clip-in bike shoes and had a heavy backpack, which slowed me down, but I probably couldn't have caught him anyway. The white pickup truck seemed slightly older, I didn't get a good look, maybe 10 years old. The man had dark hair, dark facial hair, he was racial ambiguous, with light brown skin. The bike was locked to a large light pole. A cable lock went around the light pole and front wheel, and a u lock through the frame and rear wheel. It was only locked up for 30 mins. I called 911 to see if a patrol car in the area would keep a look out, but dispatch put me right through to non-emergency.

LeBron James is heading back to Cleveland.
The four-time league MVP told SI.com on Friday that he is returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
"My relationship with Northeast Ohio is bigger than basketball," James told SI.com in a first-person essay. "I didn't realize that four years ago. I do now."
For James, it marks a complete turnaround from his original free-agent decision in 2010, when he bolted Cleveland for the Miami Heat, creating a "Big Three" with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh that went on to win two NBA titles in their four years together.
"The hardest thing to leave is what I built with those guys," James said. "I've talked to some of them and will talk to others. Nothing will ever change what we accomplished."
The Heat were in the mix for James again this time around. Team president Pat Riley traveled to Las Vegas to meet James on Wednesday in an attempt to lure him back to Miami after the All-Star opted out of his contract following the team's NBA Finals loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
But James said no to Riley and the Heat, instead choosing a Cleveland team that picked him No. 1 overall in the 2003 draft out of St. Vincent-St. Mary, where he starred as a high-school player in his native Akron, Ohio.

5 Baby Sleep Tricks That Smart Mums Swear By – 12 To 18 Months
Want to be that parent whose baby sleeps peacefully all night? Below are the strategies that worked for some of you…
You may have read hundreds of books on baby and toddler sleep, but sometimes the advice that actually works comes from other mums – take your pick from the following...
1 Give her your t-shirt
'At just before a year old, Esme wouldn't settle in her cot. A friend told me to give her a T-shirt that I'd worn all day. I'd lay it under her like a sheet until she finally went to sleep, then took it out. After a few days, it didn't matter that it no longer smelled of me.'*Jane, 36, from Ipswich, mum to Esme, 13 months
2 Don't go in too soon
'Milly always woke early and I used to go to her as soon as I heard her babbling. One morning, I decided just to leave her for a few minutes, so I could get more rest. She nodded off again and slept until 7.30am. I realised I'd been far too quick to get her up.' Kate, 31, from London, mum to Milly, 16 months
3 Find your song
'James was 18 months before he slept through consistently. What worked was showing him how to put his teddy to sleep. Now, at bedtime, or if he wakes in the night, he sings a nursery rhyme to his teddy, tucks him in, then goes to sleep himself.' Helen, 36, from Cheltenham, mum to James, two
4 Stick to a plan
'When Barney started waking at 4am at 16 months old, I was careful never to get him out of his cot – I wanted him to realise it was still night time,' says Rosie, 34, from Bristol, mum to Barney, 20 months. 'I just stroked his head and whispered that it was time to sleep. After a few nights, he went back to sleeping through the night.'
5 Teach her to self-settle
'When Alice was about 11 months old, I started putting her down sleepy but awake, so she'd be happy to fall asleep on her own,' says Charlie, 32, from Cardiff, mum to Alice, 18 months. 'If she cried, I'd wait a few minutes, because often she'd drop off on her own.'

As deputy consul general of Israel to Florida and Puerto Rico, Paul Hirschson represents the state of Israel, serving as a link between these places that are geographically far apart.
As deputy consul general of Israel to Florida and Puerto Rico, Paul Hirschson represents the state of Israel, serving as a link between these places that are geographically far apart.
He gives the Israeli foreign ministry a picture of what is going on in this area, which along with input from colleagues around the world, helps with decision-making.
Though his department spends the vast majority of time focusing on people outside the Jewish community, Hirschson describes the Jewish people of Florida -- one of the largest Jewish communities in the world -- as "door openers to the rest of society," and he said he maintains a strong relationship with them.
Hirschson, who was in Gainesville Thursday night speaking at the Reitz Union, said the Jewish people of Florida are extremely concerned with the security of Israel.
"The ultimate way (to peace) is through peaceful relations with your neighbors," Hirschson said. "That is the strategy Israel is trying to implement."
Commercial relations with Israel, and the relationship between Israel and the Jews living outside Israel, is very important to Florida's Jewish community, Hirschson said.
In the minds of Israelis, Hirschson said, Florida is seen as a holiday destination. Floridians need to present the state as a potential business destination as well.
"There are relationships to be built and Israelis aren't aware of this," Hirschson said. "I think we are both missing out on an opportunity."
There is a lot to be learned from Israel, such as its green technology, Hirschson said. In terms of life sciences and renewable energy, Israel has something to offer, he added.
Israel is number one in the world in terms of water recycling, Hirschson said. Israel recycles 70 percent of its wastewater, while Spain, which is number two in the world, recycles 12 percent.
"If we don't get, all of us, our water policies in place fairly quickly," Hirschson said, "we are going to find ourselves in 30 years from now in the same very uncomfortable place that we find ourselves today with respect to energy and oil."
In addition, for over 30 years, construction in Israel requires use of solar panels on the roof, Hirschson said. For about 10 months a year, Israelis shower with solar-heated water, he said.

Ivan, Jennifer and I woke up really early on November 21, 2008. We got on a bus at 8:30 am going from Hue to Hoi An. The bus ride was a four and a half hour ride. I watched Tarzan on Ivan's iPod. Ivan and Jennifer watched part of a British movie called Donkey Punch. I wanted to watch it as well. Apparently, it's for adults only. We stopped for a lunch break.
We arrived in Hoi An. It was overcast. I wish the weather was better. Ivan said it will be better once we're in Southern Vietnam. We checked in at the Thien Nga Hotel. We stopped by a stall on the sidewalk. They were making sandwiches. Jennifer tried the local pork sandwich.
Jennifer had them make me one with bananas and cheese. Ivan had one with cheese, cucumbers, onions and chili sauce. The sandwiches were so delicious! We decided to get another one. Jennifer got the cheese one this one. She said it was definitely better than the pork version. We walked around the city. We saw The Japanese Bridge.
We walked across it and there was lots of shops selling souvenirs. Next, we walked through the markets. I didn't mention that a couple Vietnamese people think Jennifer is from Vietnam. She'll say she's from America. Then, they ask are you Vietnam? I don't see it. We saw Sylvia and Kylie, mother and daughter, from Canada. We met them on the boat in Halong Bay.
The market is filled with food (my favorite bananas!), shoes, and souvenirs.
We walked around some more. We found a good bar called Before n Now. There was great music. The artwork on the walls are really cool.
I got to order a mocktail (a fake cocktail) with bananas. The menu had a few banana drinks. Ivan and Jennifer had a few drinks. Later on, we went inside to play some foosball. Ivan and Jennifer played a few games. They're both really competitive.
The bar is a great place to hang out in. The bar also has a pool table. We left to find dinner. We ran into the Israeli couple we originally met on the Sapa tour. We caught up with them for a few minutes. It's funny how when you're traveling you run into people you've met before. We ate an okay dinner. We went back to the hotel to get some sleep.
We checked out of the Thien Nga hotel on November 22, 2008. We had some complimentary breakfast. Then, we stored our luggage and went out. We were attending a cooking school today. We walked to the Hai Cafe. We were allowed one non-alcoholic drink. Ivan got ginger tea. Jennifer had orange juice and I got the banana juice. There was lots of people here for the class. We got divided into groups. We left with our group and started walking to the markets. Our group leader was named Mr. T. His name is actually a Vietnamese name starting with T – but he thought it'd be easier to just use Mr. T.
He showed us different food used in Vietnamese cooking. Mr. T. also showed us different cooking items like a grater or a knife. After the market, we walked to the boat. Our boat ride was about 25 minutes long. It was taking us to the Red Bridge Cooking School. Everybody got off the boat and we walked to the herb garden. We were told about the different herbs used in Vietnamese dishes.
It was time for our class. We walked to the cooking area. There was 12 people and 1 monkey. We were going to learn four dishes and food decoration. The teacher showed us the seafood salad served in a half pineapple boat. Next, we learned how to make rice paper. This was really tricky to make, Jennifer's first attempt collapsed in her hands as she picked it up – so she had another attempt which turned out a lot better.
We then learnt to make spring rolls with shrimp. I asked if I could make spring rolls with banana, and they told me its not really the 'done' thing, but seeing as I was a monkey they would make an allowance for me. Next came Hoi An Pancakes – which are pancakes stuffed with shrimp and vegetables. Jennifer thought she was doing pretty well while cooking the pancake, and asked the teacher if the pancake was 'ready' to lift off the steamer. She was told that in fact it was 'too ready' – and she lifted it off and it was all smoking. She had another attempt which turned out better this time.
She also thought her next dish – the 'Vietnamese Eggplant in Clay Pot' – to be a success.
After the lesson we sat down in the restaurant to eat all the food we had cooked -we were also given some fish to eat as well, which we hadn't been taught the recipe for, but no complaining was done, because it was so delicious! I'm really looking forward to cooking a Vietnamese meal for my dad big Dave, when I see him next. My dad thinks I'm too young to be able to cook food, so I will show him how wrong he is, and cook him a really yummy meal! I'll just remember to give him a banana in between all the courses, to make sure he's really happy!
On the way back from the cooking school, we watched a boat guy catch some fish from the river. He seemed very proud of his catch!
That evening we jumped onto a Sleeper Bus to Nha Trang – our next destination.

If you get the chance to travel to Asia and want to contribute to a nation recover from its journey in this world's (human-driven wish to bring change, through violence, & agressive) self interests of others, please visit the Plain of Jars in Laos PDR.
The video gives an idea of the pain the locals have suffered through war and being the most heavily bombed place on earth. With all that torment, the Plain of Jars is there to reveal one of the greatest mysteries of mankind's existence on this planet. Scattered across the plain are thousands of huge urn like vessels, believed to be around 2,000 years old.
Why they are there is an ongoing mystery and we are in awe of their size and what their purpose was. Many scholars believe they may have been used for storage of food, water and even brewing "lao-lao" a rice wine.
UNESCO is undertaking studies with Laotian scholars and visiting archaeologists. The work is both huge in scale and massive in mystery.
Large lids have been found near some to add to this view, many have human remains and were possibly used for burial urns, or perhaps adapted to that purpose.
The Plain of Jars is a must visit, it has 136 archaeological sites and it has been open to tourism since 1992.
Whilst much of the plain is still inaccessible to tourism due to unexploded ordnance (from the tens of thousands of bombs of the "Secret War"of the USA's CIA against North Vietnam's use of Laos to deliver its military machine into South Vietnam).
The ongoing clearance program which may take another 90 years to see through, is continuing as scholars and tourists, and locals alike, go about their daily routines to help recover the knowledge and history of these massive testaments to human, endeavour , ingenuity and survival in the face of adversity and pain. over the eons.
Visit if you can, immerse, and contribute.
The Plain of Jars is there waiting for you.
As you watch this video, listen to the words of Michael McDonald's song, "The Plain of Jars" - it is moving and links into the awe of the place.

A tsunami can be created from a single drop.
Word has spread throughout the universe of a small planet free of Monarchy control. While Ren sits in negotiations with Commander Weild, fighting for Novae's freedom, the planet is becoming overrun with visitors wanting their own glimpse of the supposedly lawless land. Ren and the people of Novae allow the tourists a bit of time on their planet, but soon Ren learns that not all of them have arrived through proper channels. One of the visitors is giving away a new drug on behalf of the Calero family, a notorious drug cartel from another galaxy. The drug proves to be more than it seems, and is capable of killing even when taking the proper dosage. As Ren investigates she learns that the drug is capable of much worse than killing, and that Novae's history is much darker than anyone knows.

Why choose a Cloud ERP ?
Depending on your needs, you can choose between on-premise hosting, directly on your servers, or cloud hosting on our dedicated servers.
Is the SaaS solution no longer suitable for you? Host the software on your servers!
Dematerialization has become the standard for the ERP softwares, riding on the digitalization of the majority of businesses. The implementation of cloud ERP is indeed easier and less expensive.
Discover the specificities of SaaS ERP and the best reasons to choose an online business solution.
Differences between Cloud and On-premise ERP
Different installation and access procedures
An on-premise ERP is installed on the company's own servers and workstations.
Hosted on the editor's servers (or a specialized service provider's servers), a SaaS ERP software can be accessed through a web browser to alleviate the costs material wise.
A third and hybrid procedure also exists: hosted on the company's servers, the Cloud ERP can be accessed through a web browser without being installed on all workstations.
Different billing terms
On-premise ERP
The software license price is paid in full from the start, for a "permanent" use, excluding recurrent costs for services such as support, training… or custom developments that may be needed later on.
SaaS ERP
You gain access to the service by paying a yearly or monthly fee, to which additional costs such as support or training may be add…
Axelor's ERP being Open Source, its billing is different. The software is free, there is no license cost at all.
Only recurrent services such as maintenance will be charged monthly if you subscribed them. For the Cloud version, you will only pay for outsourcing and hosting fees.
What makes Axelor's Cloud ERP unique is that, being Open Source, you may decide at any time to locally download the application and take control over it, as you have complete access to the source code.
Benefits of a Cloud hosted ERP
An On-premise ERP is a valid choice for certain companies in certain contexts. Yet, a management solution in SaaS mode offers multiple advantages.
Simple and fast implementation
A Cloud ERP does not require any software to be installed on the company's servers or workstations, as it is accessed through a web browser.
Implementation is thus a lot simpler, and faster. Implementation costs are also reduced, with fewer internal resources needed.
Reduced initial investments
With a Cloud ERP, initial investments are drastically reduced, if not non-existent. The company doesn't need to invest in specific servers or workstations, and doesn't need to pay the whole ownership cost from the start, as it would have in the case of a proprietary software.
With a SaaS ERP, costs are spread over time, and can easily be calculated on the long term.
The difference between Cloud and On-premise global costs for the whole lifecycle of a software may vary from one to tenfold the price depending on several factors such as the service provider, your company's specificities, or the project's scale.
The Axelor solutions being Open Source and license-free, estimating costs over the next few years becomes so much easier.
Frequent and automatic updates
A Cloud ERP benefits from frequent and automatic technical and security updates. There is no need for installation on servers or workstations anymore.
With a locally installed ERP, you have full control over your data, yet it is also up to you to ensure its safety. However, with a SaaS solution, data safety is the editor's or integrator's responsibility.
A mobile ERP
Unlike a solution installed on a specific workstation, a business software in SaaS mode can be accessed on any mobile device with a web browser.
Axelor's ERP is perfectly suited for the Cloud and fully responsive, thanks to its modern architecture.
Your users can access their data even when travelling, using their portable devices.

Macao is a small territory, the area of the peninsula may only be six or seven square kilometers and the total area of the peninsula plus that of the two offshore islands is only about twenty square kilometers. However, the unique geographical conditions and superior humanity environment provide outstanding figures with a piece of land for life and work and make numerous elites leave clear footprints in Macao. They stayed long or provisionally resided or lingered or stopped on the way for a rest. Because of all kinds of chances and experiences, they had close relation with Macao, generated important influences on such small city and became the rich, colorful and increasingly new collective memory of the people of Macao.
Macao not only has "Historic Center" universally acknowledged by the world, hut also has globally well-known "historic figures". Macao is not only a city for tourism and gambling, hut also a famous city with historic culture. Such "family property" of great honor, becomes the disposition gene full of pride, awe and veneration of the people of Macao, on the other hand, even constantly arouses historic introspection and modern consideration for the need of opening up and forging ahead in the extraordinarily rapid era reform. While the main idea of such introspection and consideration is how to fuilher explore the cultural resources of Macao, highlight the spirits, meritorious service and great achievement of the historic figures, absorb nutrients, extract the wisdom and purify the soul among them, carry them forward and share them with the whole world.
Therefore, Macao Post especially launches an issue with the theme "Historic Figures and Macao" including a set of four stamps and one souvenir sheet. On the four stamps. the head portraits of four historic figures are respectively printed: Lin Zexu, a national hero in Chinese modern history, personally patrolled in Macao in the great anti-opium movement, his determined steps shocked China and foreign countries: Ye Ting, an army commander of the New Fourth Army in China with fame based on military exploits spreading far away, considered Macao as his "second hometown" and spent the quietest six years of his life in Macao: Xian Xinghai, a "great and strong" musician, who praises the Chinese nation by "The Yellow River Cantata" of great momentum, was horn in the family of a mariner as a true "son of Macao": Ho Yin, an industrial and commercial giant, famous social activist and philanthropist who made distinguished contributions to the construction of Macao and his motherland was a typical person who loved the motherland and Macao.
The souvenir sheet with the forms "repeated chapter" for historic elites with the repeatedly appearing micro head portraits of the above figures as the background: the black-and-white half-length portraits of the four historic figures overprinted at the lower right corner, from the shallower to the deeper, arranged in sequence, indicate the memory of long and short time: for the stamp at the upper left, on the top of the head portraits of the ligures, the golden lotus is blossoming under the shining of five stars, which even reflects the lofty value judgment on the historic figures by Macao that has walked into new era.
With these tiny pieces, they fully carry deep and strong affection of the people of Macao: may the historic figures having made distinguished contributions to China and Macao and their spirits spread to further time and space.

Active participation in the Chamber shows your business' commitment to the growth of our local economy and business community, as well as gaining exposure and making effective connections throughout the Chamber network.
Chamber R.E.A.C.H. Team
The Chamber R.E.A.C.H. Team is a group of representatives from member businesses who volunteer as an active extension of the Longview Chamber of Commerce staff. Their mission is to cultivate, promote and maintain a positive relationship between the Chamber, our members and the community. R.E.A.C.H. team members meet frequently to discuss the mission of the Chamber and team members will attend every event to connect, refer, and help ensure every member of the Chamber is getting the assistance they need. Participation is available after one year of Chamber membership.
Chamber Board of Directors
The Longview Chamber of Commerce's Board of Directors is a group of over 15 business leaders who volunteer their time and expertise in making decisions and strategically directing the future of business in Longview and Gregg County. The Board of Directors meet monthly and support the organization in providing guidance and participating in various committees to positively impact the broad range of business and industry.
Public Policy Committee
The Chamber's Public Policy Committee is comprised of leading members of Longview/Gregg County's business community. The Committee is charged with researching issues, collecting input from membership and then advising the Chamber Board of Directors on specific action items if needed. The Public Policy Committee also educates elected officials and the public of the business community's concerns. Participation is open to all members in good standing.
East Texas Coalition
The Longview Chamber believes in representing the interest of business with government. One of the most effective ways to represent the East Texas region is by bringing the region's civic and business leaders to lobby the State Capitol on issues impacting Gregg County and the business community. The East Texas Coalition travels to Austin during the State of Texas' bi-annual Legislative Session on odd numbered years.
Washington D.C. Fly-In
Representing our members with elected officials is a critical role that the Chamber plays. That is why we go to Washington, DC to advocate on our members' behalf. On even numbered years we partner with our local government as well as business and community leaders to lobby on behalf of a common agenda and exert powerful influence with national policymakers.
Inter-City Visits
The Longview Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors began leading Inter City Visits in 2012. The purpose of an Inter City Visit is to provide business and community leaders the opportunity to discuss challenges and opportunities our community is facing. The visit also provides an opportunity for interaction among city leaders and facilitates an exchange of best practices and lessons learned.

Our Approach
Our investment strategy is conservative and sensible, geared to building wealth over the long term. We look to grow our clients' assets over time by compounding returns, not over days or months, but over a complete market cycle. Our approach to investing is straightforward and based on proven methodologies. We work closely with our clients to determine their investment goals and risk tolerance. We have high quality investment managers with demonstrable track records. This is how we implement our strategy.
Understanding overall market trends is a key element in investing. After that, it is finding the balance between participating in a rising market and preserving capital in a declining market. We do not limit ourselves to a "buy and hold" mentality but rather adapt to market conditions and invest accordingly.
We employ stop-loss protection in order to limit our downside risk and preserve principal. The understanding is that the discipline of selling is just as important as buying. In addition, such strategy takes the emotion out of investing, which also prevents major losses.
When evaluating an investment, it is important to understand the concept of risk vs. reward. In the simplest terms, the higher the reward, the greater the risk. We work closely with our clients to tailor investment portfolios that align with their goals and objectives, but more importantly, match their expectations.
A diversified portfolio is essential to manage risk. Diversification can be achieved typically through minimal positions which represent different industry sectors. We build portfolios of complementary investments, typically a mixture of fixed income products (bonds) and equities (stocks), both domestic and international.
Once we have established a solid foundation, we focus on providing clients with superior returns and less volatility. Our investment plan is simple—a plan steeped in a philosophy adhering to a long term, disciplined strategy; one that is flexible with its expectations and rigid with its rules of investing.
