I presented a session on freelancing at Codestock 2012 – there were actually quite a few of them (4, I think). I'd wanted to see Michael French's session, as he sat in on mine, gave me good feedback, and mentioned some areas of freelancing that I don't discuss in mine (or certainly not enough) – cash flow and insurance. Alas, I didn't get to see his, but I suspect it went well.
On to the topic of this post. I got to recapping some of my talk to a smaller group of people in an open spaces segment, and the subject of "how do you find work" came up. "Grow your network, work your network" was the crux of my answer, and someone rightly challenged me on what "work your network" actually *means*. Good catch, and I wanted to outline some concrete examples of what you can do to "work your network".
1. Find someone in your network who's better at X than you, and take them to lunch for a short tutorial on X to get you better. This is one case where you'll actually be spending time on a technical subject, but the goal is not specifically that. Getting some one on one time with someone better than you in a tutorial/teacher scenario is generally good – you give them the ability to hone their presentation/explanation skills, and let them know you're genuinely interested in topic X (you have to be sincere about the request and the topic). You will learn something new, but also have deepened a connection with someone. If/when they have a work referral, you'll be closer to top of mind for that person.
2. Go to user groups and actively mingle. Invite friends to join you, or ask someone in your network what groups they go to that you don't know about, and ask to join them during their next meeting. Have that person introduce you to a few people there. You're actively growing your network, but also positioning your friend in their network as someone who is a connected person with fun/interesting/useful connections. That means you have to be fun, interesting or useful to people at some point.
3. Take #1, but invite other people, and turn it in to a small group "lunch and learn" session. "Lunch and learns" are often used inside companies, but doing some ad-hoc ones among small groups of people will associate you with that group as someone who makes things happen and brings people together.
4. Related to number 3, but don't bother with having someone make a technical presentation – just invite a small group of people who you know but that you know don't know each other directly. Go to lunch – have a good time. Again, your reputation in this group will become one of someone who knows people, has connections, and can mix with people of multiple backgrounds.
In any of these above, asking people to bring others you don't know is probably a good idea, but you may want to hold off on that from day 1 if you're on the shy/introverted side. You can build up to that, and practice these skills with colleagues/friends first.
All of these sound like I'm trying to make you in to a socialite vs a technical worker, and … in some ways that's true. I have to assume that you already have some technical chops to be working as a freelancer already, or that you can get those chops quickly. The problem many have, especially when first starting out, is finding projects. The primary way to get around that is to have a network of people who feel comfortable calling on you when they have work. They'll feel more comfortable knowing that you're someone who will not embarrass them when they introduce you to people on their team or in their network. That is probably the most key aspect that tech people sometimes forget or ignore. Most people really really really don't care if you have the best technical chops – in some cases they don't really even want to be outshone, but they do need someone who can get the work done without causing them embarrassment. Helping them meet their goals of work done while making them look good is paramount.
How many projects have you been on that failed because you didn't know how to write to a file, talk to a database, send output to a browser or take input from a form? I bet that number is 0. Projects fail because of communication between client and dev, or amongst the team. Likewise, people don't necessarily hire you just because of your skill. Indeed, they may keep someone on a project *despite* the person's skills, because they have no choice in the short term. In the long term, they'll get rid of that person if they're poisonous to the project/team, even if the replacement is less skilled.
In short, "working your network" involves being social with other people. That may be a stretch outside your comfort zone – many developers like working with computers vs people. However, the technical skills you have now with PHP, C#, Java, Ruby, Python, Perl, whatever… – those may change, or become irrelevant if you change industries. Being comfortable talking to people in social situations is a skill that will never go out of fashion, and you can learn and practice this skill in controlled situations by creating social settings with your current network, and at the same time grow that network with new and interesting people.
I hope this helps give you some ideas about how to manage and grow your network. Are you in violent disagreement with that I wrote above? Let me know

Freelance to fulltime
NOTE – this is not autobiographical – I'm currently still a fulltime freelance/independent contractor and have immediate plans to make any changes in that status.
I've had a few friends and acquaintances recently go through periods of transition, shifting from contract and freelance work to something else. In some cases the transition was voluntary, sometimes not. I wanted to share some thoughts on what I've observed so far.
In more than a couple cases, friends looking out in to the job market – interviewing at companies and such – don't have a good idea of the market rate for either their skills or the value they'd bring to a company. To whatever extent possible, survey your friends/colleagues in an area with similar skills, get ballpark estimates from then about what they're earning, and try to get them to indicate salary vs benefits/perks. Money is a personal subject for many, and you may not get a full honest answer from someone. Ask them to just give you a range.
If there's hesitation or a privacy concern, rephrase the question a bit – "if I was to apply for a job doing XYZ at your company, what should I expect as a salary?". I don't know too many people who would have a problem answering that – it allows them to give specifics without disclosing what they make personally, which may be higher than what they quote you based on other factors. Knowing that most people would be making about $80k doing mid-career PHP or Python development at companies X, Y and Z will help you when talking to company K, assuming they are of similar size/region/industry, and you'll feel more comfortable if/when the money question comes up during an interview.
In some cases, this question comes up very early on, primarily as a screening tactic by HR departments. If they're thinking $60k, but you're thinking $150k, there's no point in moving forward. Unfortunately, most HR departments I've talked with over the years are a bit too cagey, and demand a number from you first vs just giving you a range they have in mind. Bear in mind, if they have a range of $60-$75k, that doesn't mean the company may not raise that range to meet you, but that usually won't be a consideration until after a few interviews.
A freelance friend of mine recently landed his 'dream job' doing R&D work for a large company. I was sad to see him leave the freelance world, but I knew for him it was for the best. What worked for him? Hard to say if it was any one thing, but he was fairly 'plugged in' to the community at large – he's blogged in public for years, spoken at many conferences, published magazine articles, and contributed some notable open source code to projects. Whether any of those specifically were factors in this particular job offer, I can't say, and I'm not sure he could either. In my view, they all contributed to his profile. When new positions come open, they're often floated by connections in personal networks first. Having a strong personal network, and letting people in that network know you're looking for new options, is a very useful tool, but also one which you can't get overnight.
The other side of personal networks – if someone reaches out to you with an opportunity, *acknowledge* them. I'm speaking from experience here. When I reach out to someone with a project or job I think would be a good fit for them, and they simply ignore me… they're not on my good list any more. It's not as if I hate them personally, but I won't bother to go out of my way to spot opps or jobs I think would be beneficial for both parties.
This happens to me multiple times per year – I hear someone is looking for a new job, I forward some one or more opportunities, and *nothing* ever is responded to. This behaviour is just *odd*, and possibly may help explain why person X may not be happy in their current job or may be continuing to look for IT work when the current IT market is pretty hot. Few projects of mine have ever failed due to technical issues – many have failed or been derailed due to personality conflicts or communication problems. Bottom line – if someone is courteous enough to be thinking of you and your needs, reply to them acknowledging that you received the information. Even if the position isn't necessarily what you'd consider a good fit, replying is just good manners.
Another friend recently transitioned from part time contractor to full time employee. After several years contracting for one department, he was offered an expanded role full time, which seems to be suiting him quite well. This one is not something you can easily plan for, and in his case certainly took me by surprise. Not because he's not capable of the work, but I didn't think the company was looking to expand their service offerings. Maybe they weren't until recently – who knows? But an opportunity came along and he was ready to transition from freelance to full time.
Are you looking for a full-time gig? What's worked for you? What have been the stumbling blocks? Let me know!

Lack of fundamentals in web programming education
Wasn't sure what to name this entry, but have had a few discussions with some people over the past month or so about their experiences. All of them were finishing up "web development" degree programs (under somewhat different nams) at institutions in the area, and all were talking about looking for jobs.
I was dismayed (but not necessarily shocked) at how little understanding they had about the basics trade skills that are necessary for most real world webdev work. Now, I'm obviously passing my own judgement here, but bear with me.
Task/project breakdown – the idea of taking a project requirement and breaking it down in to written steps – whether inline documentation, external 'requirements' doc, or tracking in an issue database. This was not something that any of these people indicated was covered in their classes or coursework. Whether you're working alone or on a team, this is a fundamental basic skill that is missing in most jr devs I meet – loading an editor and starting to code is the default mode.
Version control – none of the people I spoke with had any version control in their class work. One knew *of* version control, but his internship mentor didn't feel it was useful because there was just two of them working, and they could easily schedule time to edit the same files on an FTP server without stepping on each other's changes. I don't expect someone to be an svn master or git guru – the specific technologies may change. One company may use clearcase, another MS TFS, another git, and so on. The nuances of each will be different, and the dynamics of the projects will be different. But the core value of using version control, even on projects for yourself, isn't even being mentioned in some of these courses.
Testing – this is going to be different based on the project, of course, but a 'web degree program' that doesn't expose students to some testing tools – selenium being the one I'd default do – is doing a poor job of equipping these students to be proficient in their craft. Put another way, students from a degree program that exposes them to testing concepts will produce better, more desirable/employable students. However, if *no* programs do this, then the bar is uniformly low across the board. Exposing students to the concept of unit testing their code – xUnit style – and understanding that code is more testable when it has fewer hard coded stuff in it – these are things that should be being taught.
Note that, excepting for a ref to selenium, I'm not really advocating a particular technology (and not really even in that case), but concepts. The need for Android developers may be gone in 5 years (at least, Android as we know it know). The need for "PHP5 developers" may be radically lower in 5 years. The need for Ruby3 developers may be through the roof in 5 years, and there's not even any degree programs *talking* about Ruby3, because it doesn't exist yet. The need for developers who understand testing and version control will definitely be strong in 5 years. It was strong 10 years ago, although the tools were different. It will be strong 10 years from now.
These universal lifelong skills that are *fundamental* to the practice of good software development are not seeming to be taught in software development courses at a college/university level. Some programs will have an emphasis on data structure and algorithms – certainly nothing *wrong* with them – they're universal truisms too. But there seems to be an ignoring of the realities of day to day work. And I'm not just talking about the 4 year 'big league' schools – local community colleges that traditionally have a more practical emphasis on 'vocational skills' are seemingly ignoring this.
I don't remember any of these skills being in course descriptions 20 years ago in my university, and I'm not seeing much reference to the few colleges I searched about for recently, and certainly not getting this from talking to people about to graduate from "web developer" degree programs. Is this your experience too? Or am I just getting a statistically skewed sample?

ning user subscription service
I've been working with a local chap investigating the feasibility of adding paid user memberships to ning.com sites. We'd settled on one model which will work for him, but is a bit manual. I've got another approach in mind which would be fairly automatic. Essentially it involves a service in the middle which sits between the ning system and an external billing service such as paypal or spreedly, and uses the APIs of each to manage account access. If a user's paid subscription status lapses, there's an API call on ning which disables the account.
I used to have a ning site (actually, I think we've still got a small family one I'm paying for too) but have not done much with ning since 2006/2007. They've changed their focus a lot since the very early days where they'd let you run your own PHP code on their servers, and have shifted to a more locked-down API approach. There seems to be a small but loyal set of ning network managers, and it seems to me that paid monthly subscriptions is a service many ning network owners are looking for.
So… are you interested? Drop me a line if so and you can be part of the first set of test users.

Dear consultant
Random emails from recruiters we don't know – we've all gotten them at one point or another, but does anyone ever respond to these?
I just got this email. Names removed to protect… why am I protecting them? Nah – names aren't that important.
Dear Consultant,
This is an excellent opportunity to join a winning team. Take your career to the next level and turn your interest into action. Apply Now! The only way to learn more is by taking the next step.
Job Title : PHP/ MYSQL Developer
Location : Washington DC
Duration : 6+ Months
Rate : $45/Hr on C2C
Process: Goal is a phone screen followed by a 16 hour guarantee
You had me at "dear consultant". I have a feeling that $45/hr in DC isn't really all that hot of a rate. They don't seem to do any filtering at all – this certainly isn't taking my career to any level I haven't already been at.
Role: The new CTO inherited a Content Management System that is one of the products they sell. He has his team focused on enhancement and new architecture, but he needs someone to come in and fix/ troubleshoot the bugs of the old system.
So… they've got a mess on their hands, and the "CTO" needs a digital janitor. For $45/hour. Even though the existing team probably actually understands the current product/system/business much more than a green outsider would… somehow there's enough of a need to fix bugs, and spending money on someone to ramp up from ground zero to learn the business and fix bugs is a better use of time than having the current people (who, let's face it, probably *wrote* the damn bugs in the first place) fix the code.
Skills needed:
- PHP/MySQL
- Heavy troubleshooting/ de-bugging
- Shell Scripting
- Expression Engine v 1
He really wants this because it is what it is built on
Sounds as good a reason as any, right?
This person needs to be able to work independently. Clearly this is not the most exciting work, but they have the ability to join a really cool team and do cool stuff if they do well.
So… they know it's crap work, and if I agree to do a bunch of crap work, I may be able to join a really cool team (apparently too cool to maintain their own crap code). And if you do crap stuff well, apparently you're good enough to do 'cool' stuff in the future (and then pass off your own crap code to another newbie 6 months from now).
Really – does ANYONE ever respond to these random recruiter emails?
UPDATE – I just got the same email from someone at a different company, except they didn't have the editorial about "we know it's not exciting work". As corny as that was, it was actually a small spark of real humanity coming through.
I also know the job market is really hot for IT, and remember the dark days of 7-8 years ago when things were tougher. These same emails probably worked far more effectively than they do today, but they must still work *some* otherwise they wouldn't be sent out like this, right?

indieconf – conference for web freelancers – november 19
indieconf – the conference for independent web professionals – is fast approaching. This year indieconf is on Saturday, November 19, in Raleigh, NC, and it will be a full day of learning from and networking with other freelance and independent web people. Designers, developers and everyone in between are welcome to join us!
This year sees some new speakers joining us – Michael Marshall, Laura Creekmore, Pepper Oldziey just to name a few, and some of our friends from year one are back for year two, including Patrick O'Keefe, Doug Foster, Neil Tortorella and many more.
We've got a couple more surprises to the schedule which aren't announced yet, but don't let that stop you from registering now.
So… what is indieconf? Some of you readers from last year may remember, but for those of you who don't, here's the quick backstory.
I've been a freelance web guy for the past 4 years, and I love tech conferences. However, I got discouraged after going to some great conferences, but realizing that most of the info there didn't really help me all that much. Learning about new tech was great fun, but what I really needed was to understand how to write up better contracts, land better clients, deal with collections, and so on. Now, there's a lot of business networking groups that help deal with many of these issues, but most of those people there aren't web people – they don't know javascript from java – and I just never felt like I was making the most of those events.
From that frustration, indieconf was born as a conference that brings together web freelancers (programmers, designer, writers, etc.) who primarily work on the web ( you know who you are!) together with experts in legal, financial, accounting, marketing and business who *also* understood the web and worked with freelancers. The combination last year was pretty good, and this year we're looking to make it even better, based on learning from your feedback.
What are you waiting for? Register today or learn more at indieconf.com.

virus scanning as a service – looking for feedback
I'm looking for feedback on a project idea. This grew out of a project I did last year that involved a lot of user file uploads that are then downloadable by others. Virus scanning needed to be part of the process, but I couldn't find a good service out that that offered this. I did find one, but they explicitly forbid commercial use of the service, which somewhat took it of the table.
So.. feedback please. Have you ever needed a service like this? Did you just roll your own, or perhaps just went without?

When Google controls the internet…
I'm not a google fanboy (although I do use a lot of gmail and picasa some) – I'm also more than a bit wary about the amount of info they control and manage about me and others. That said, I was reading up on SPDY this morning, and a curious thought struck me.
For those of you old enough to remember the late 90s and the 'browser wars', IE was becoming the dominant browser. I remember hearing a rumor that IE was given preferential treatment with IIS servers – meaning that if you used IE against an IIS server, you'd have a faster experience, and that connections from Netscape and others were intentionally throttled down. Again, just a rumor, and not one I could ever confirm. Even if it was *true*, in hindsight, my guess is that it probably wouldn't have been intentional. Or, to whatever extent it was intentional, it would be from lack of testing (or caring about testing) against non IE browsers. That may be wishful rose-colored thinking on my part, but it's all in the past now.
Google's Chrome has been on an upswing the past year or so. It became my default browser for about a year, although I'm using Firefox 4 more often these days. Google's been experimenting with SPDY – a new protocol intended to augment HTTP. That's the benign pronouncement – it wouldn't surprise me if they really would like it to supplant HTTP altogether, but I suspect that won't ever happen 100%. The SPDY spec has a number of interesting improvements -
- X-header 'hints' to tell the client other related resources (to avoid having to parse the entire document first)
- HTTP Header compression – I think I tweeted this some time ago, but this thought hit me last year. Many HTTP header calls are moderately big, and many pages have dozens or hundreds of these. SPDY reduces HTTP headers by ~80%, which can make for a marked improvement on many larger pages.
- Request prioritization – allows the client to indicate which resources should be loaded first
and many more. (See the link above for more info).
The interesting thing to me was the difference between when MS owned the client and server experience (for sites that mattered to me) and now that Google does (for sites that matter to me). MS seemed to go for more lock-in – pushing ActiveX as a browser technology, pushing IIS as the server of choice, etc. Google, on the other hand, investigates, tests, and promotes new technology to reduce load times and HTTP overhead for the whole internet.
Granted, right now, the only company using SPDY is Google, but they've published their protocol and research, and I wouldn't be surprised to see some mainstream webservers support SPDY in the next year or so. If Firefox and/or Safari also support SPDY, we'll see some radical speed changes which will benefit the entire internet in the form of faster sites. In MS' favor, I will point out that the beginnings of what became AJAX originated in IE5, and AJAX has been a game changer for the web industry certainly. It's just a bit sad that it seemed to happen in spite of MS rather than them proactively promoting an IE tech as a cross-platform solution.
One wonders if MS would even be able to pull off something like SPDY today. 10 years ago they *could* have, but didn't seem to have the foresight or inclination to do so.

Photoshop adds 3D-printing support, with MakerBot and Shapeways integration
Adobe is stepping into 3D printing today with a new update to Photoshop CC. It's adding in a new 3D-printing tool meant to make it easy for anyone to take a model, put some finishing touches on it, and get it printed. That's exactly how Adobe sees Photoshop being used for 3D printing too — less as a creation tool, and more as a way to put polish on an existing project.
Though Photoshop already includes some 3D modeling features, Adobe doesn't expect most of its users to start building objects from the ground up. Instead, this printing support is meant to make Photoshop a better option for users who are just trying to touch up and print a preexisting model. There's enough there to let users tweak and paint their models, and now Adobe…

How To Make A GIF Without Photoshop
Photoshop is great if you're a millionaire graphic designer (it's expensive and hard!). For everyone else, here's the simple way to be a GIF maestro.
Unless this is your first time on the internet (welcome!), you're aware there's a massive GIF party going on, and you're wondering if your invite got lost in the mail.
You've tried Photoshop, but it feels basically like:
If you think Photoshop is easy, I'm very proud of you and I'm sure that is wonderful. The rest of us, however, see it as a giant hot mess that costs a billion dollars (we do not condone stealing software here) and is impossible to use.
Well fuck it, you're crashing this party.
For this guide, we're talking about making these types of GIFs like Johnny Depp here, where the gif is a clip from a video.
For a gif that's flipping between two to three still images, I recommend GifMaker.me. But that's BORING. We're talking fun video clip GIFs here.
Universal Pictures / Via yassitamaggot.tumblr.com
They're not great, but if you you're looking for something super quick and with no bells or whistles, they'll get the job done.
MakeAGif Pros: Just drop in a YouTube link, select start time and if you want it between 1-5 seconds. Cons: leaves a "makeagif.com" watermark on your gif. Also, the timing can't get too precise for the start and end times of the gif.
ImgFlip Pros: Allows you to add captions to your gif easily, more control over timing. Cons: It prompts you to download a YouTube video using KeepVid, a program which no longer works for some reason. You have to download your video separately, then upload it.

Kickstarter For A Real-Life Photoshop Color Eyedropper
That's not the same blue!
This is a Kickstarter for Nix, a $ 99 Bluetooth enabled smartphone accessory that can identify the color of anything you rest it on, so you can paint your office the exact same color of that coffee shop you really love. Granted it won't look as good in your place, but that's because you forgot to take the coffee shop's natural lighting into consideration. Trust me, I dated an interior design major in college before she got into meth and dropped out.
The sensor's Canadian creators say their device is much more accurate than using your phone's on board camera to grab colour data, firstly because it's purpose-built for accurate colour scanning and is "calibrated to return exact/specific colour values". And secondly because it blocks out all ambient light — meaning the true shade can be captured, i.e. unaffected by shadows or changes in lighting conditions.
As well as allowing Nix users to view data on the colour they just scanned, the apps will include the ability to save a scanned colour swatch and add notes to it; view a colour in RGB, HSL, HSV, Lab, XYZ, HTML, or CMYK; convert the colour to other media such as wall paints, oil paints, make-up, watercolour, wood stain, automotive paint etc; select a particular brand associated with the media type you're after and get directions to the nearest store where you can buy the paint.
It doesn't just work on painted walls though, it will also work on fabrics, and, presumably, my penis. "GW's Pecker Purple" the color swatch at Home Depot will read. Move over, Martha Stewart Collection!

Photoshop and Premiere Elements 12 now available, learn editing preferences
Adobe's Creative Cloud not your thing? Photoshop and Premiere Elements 12 have just arrived to please your subscription-averse (and beginner-level) nature. The latest version of the outfit's photo suite features Content-Aware Move for shifting objects within a photo and having the resulting gaps filled in, the ability to correct flash reflections in animals' eyes and 64-bit support for Macs. Elements Mobile Albums are new to this release as well, and they let users view, edit and share photos on mobile devices through the firm's Revel solution. Premiere Elements boasts motion tracking to move graphics, text and effects with objects, upwards of 250 sound effects and more than 50 soundtracks that rearrange themselves to fit the length of footage. Both the video and photo editing packages sport Auto Smart Tone, which learns a user's editing preferences and serves them up in a one-click option.
While both programs have picked up a healthy share of upgrades, the pricing model remains unchanged. Mac and Windows versions are now available online from Adobe for $ 100, or $ 150 when purchased in a bundle. Upgrades are set at $ 80 for each, or $ 120 when the pair are snapped up together. As for boxed copies of the software, they'll be available soon form brick-and-mortar shops and online retailers.

Adobe Creative Cloud apps now ready to download, including improved Photoshop (hands-on)
Last month, Adobe dropped a bombshell on users of its Creative Suite apps: going forward, all of its apps under the umbrella, from Photoshop and Illustrator to Dreamweaver and After Effects, would fall under the umbrella of Creative Cloud, its monthly subscription service. While the decision has been divisive, one thing is clear: if you want new Photoshop features, Creative Cloud is your only way in. Today, Adobe is unveiling all of the updated apps it announced in May, and we took the opportunity to look at what separates Photoshop CC from its CS6 predecessor.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 now available for $149
Adobe teased us with a Photoshop Lightroom 5 beta at the start of the spring, and it's closing out the season by releasing the finished goods. Mac- and Windows-based shutterbugs can download the completed image management app today, either at no extra charge through a Creative Cloud subscription or $ 149 for a stand-alone version ($ 79 for an upgrade). Buyers get the same core updates no matter how much they spend, including an Advanced Healing Brush for removing objects and Smart Previews that let travelers leave their original files at home. When Lightroom is free to try for a month, it likely won't hurt to grab a copy at the source link — especially if your photo collection is growing out of hand.

Time Lapse Of 16-Bit Metroid Mother Brain Finale Getting An Artist's High Definition Photoshop Overhaul
Note: Respectable size shot of the end product BELOW.
This is a time-lapse video (after the jump– that's jut a animated gif above in case you're someone's mother reading this) of DeviantARTist Elemental79 (of DOOM screenshot to high res photo popularity) turning a composite 16-bit scene from Super Metroid into a high-res art piece. I, for one, would be honored to hang a print of that in my living room. Specifically over the hole in the wall I made throwing my Playstation controller during a temper outburst. In case you care:.
In order to provide the screenshot a 16×9 aspect proportion this is not a real screenshot from the game, but made up of numerous screenshots and sprite sets. Included in this scene is a metroid, which is not precise to the game, but believable because there wouldn't be a rational main reason that one could not wander into Mother Brain's space (And I actually wanted to remake the metroid).
To respond to some concerns I've gotten, the image took in between 50 and 60 hours and had well over 500 layers. I didn't actually take note of either. I likewise didn't do this in one sitting but over the course of a few weeks.
Fifty to sixty hours– that's some serious commitment. Perhaps not as committed as I am to the cause of animal rescue, however not everybody can invest their extra time being a hero. You know how many cats I have? Six. "I thought you were going to say more than that." THOUSAND. Numerous that when I put their food out I can't inform which method is up.
Struck the jump for the video.

Greek police Photoshop away bruises in mug shots, prompting public outcry
A Greek district attorney has requested an examination into whether retouched mug shots are covering up evidence of authorities brutality, Reuters reports.

Hasn't it become just so apparent that most of the popular film-makers in Hollywood today are just mailing it in? The Farrelly or whayever their names are made a seriously bad an epic bad film called "Hall Pass" It seemed to me that most of the problem was that the director and writer(probably the same crew) were only concerned about coping their next fix cause they put no effort into the "film". I figured they could do this if they needed too but I wasn't going to be a party to it by folking over my money. Seems their are still many many people who just can't give it to these guys faster enough. Now they churn out "Movie 43" we have ourselves to blame if we pay to see this mess. Stop! Don't do it! Peace Out!

I'm sure it will make great money and continue Ratner's undeserved career.

He really offended us with his limp-dick "X-men" offering back in '06, and is partially responsible for producing "Skyline" with the Faggots Strause. Granted, I liked "Red Dragon", but he's failed to duplicate that success since.

An article by Mike Florio of NBC Sports I read this morning, just solidified why I love "Minor League" sports - especially the Texas Revolution of the IFL.
Florio was talking about certain players getting what I would call "perks" for being who they are. He also made mention of an interview that one former Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman DeMarcus Spears gave to "105.3 The Fan", the radio home of the Dallas Cowboys.
Spears said...
You understand in this league (NFL) that your star players are going to have things come their way that most guys don't.
When I sit in my booth, or just watch games of the IFL, I do not see this as a particular problem on the minor league level - Why? Because they are not "stars" (YET). But that really all depends on what your definition of "star" is.
Now when I say star when talking sports, everyone knows what I mean - guys that are in the "bigs". That is not to say there are not "stars" on the minor league level, but I would bet anyone that, if you polled the Dallas Cowboys players - more than just the majority if not close to 90% of them would not know who Frankie Solomon Jr. is (unless they do know him personally). Same goes for any of the other great players that play for the Revolution or other players in the IFL. They would not have a clue. But - I am willing to bet Frankie and the other Revolution players know who they are. Same thing goes for the other players of IFL franchises.
But you want to know what I would really want to hear? ONE NFL STAR know about the players that play in this league. And I mean really know them, and not some producer giving him a crash course on who is good and who is not, before they go on an interview or put it in a teleprompter (Whoops just gave a away a "trade secret" - sorry). The things is, they don't know or probability even care how great you guys (minor league players) are!
Now as I continue on, I don't want people to misunderstand me. I am not saying, I do not want our players to go to the NFL and have a successful career in the NFL or CFL or other league that would not be considered minor league. In fact, it is totally opposite. I hope every player can make that dream come true.
In my many years of being a "minor league" sports fan, I have seen many players go on and make it to the "bigs". My favorite example of this is just recently in the past six years, I can say knew Dan Bylsma when.
Now - for those who may not know who I am talking about, Bylsma is the current Head Coach for the NHL Pittsburgh Penguins. But before he went on to his current stint in the "bigs", he was captain of the Los Angeles Kings minor league affiliate Phoenix Roadrunners of the International Hockey League (IHL). And man this guy could play! Wooo! I just loved the night in night out effort Bylasma and other players of the Roadrunners gave. It was all out - all the time. Bylasma played 429 NHL games. In the minor leagues he played 1,095.
I was a season ticket holder for six FANtastic seasons for the Roadrunners who played in an old run down, blue collar as they come, even by the early to mid 90's standards, Arizona Veteran's Memorial Coliseum. The Roadrunners dismantled in 1997.
Those guys, including Bylsma, got my blood pumping. Same feeling as I get when I am watching an IFL football game. And I just know, I am going to get to say of some of the current IFL players, I knew these guys when.
That being said, I am not going to end up going to an NFL stadium to watch these former IFL players, because when they do make it to the "bigs", I will want to see them, and the only way to really see an individual play in the NFL is on TV with those high definition settings.
Last season a friend of mine asked me if I would want to go to the Dallas Cowboys game in Arlington. I politely declined, and said thank you for the offer. People have said to me Sonny - your nuts, why didn't you go? Because really - if I am going to go and see a game, I want to go see guys with the drive of never giving up on their dreams, (although I know that some of those dreams will end right in those smaller venue places across the country). So if I actually go to see a game - I want to make sure I support someone (players) while they were trying to live the dream, even if it will only be on a minor league level.
Now as I write this - I tear up. I think it is because most players do not know the impact they have on my life. In fact - I can not even describe it in words. My wife told me "these players represent what you could not accomplish, but would have loved to try."
I am under no illusions. I know my "talent" in the sports I loved was not good enough, even for the minor league level. But there is still something about minor league sports, even at the tender age of (cough) 47, that still gets my blood pumping when I watch it. I think it is mainly because the minor leagues still represents hope.
And although even some of the best players in the IFL will not make that final roster in the NFL and not able to sign that major league contract, I hope they all know they are big/major leaguers to me, and they do not need to sit in Jerry Jones's "private suite" in order to know they are a star. And in my humble opinion, all these players on the minor league level are all stars in my book!
Now what does that mean in the grand scheme of things? Probably nothing. I am sure that the goals some players have in this league are to be that guy who defies of the odds and makes it big in the NFL or CFL (and in my opinion the CFL is the "bigs").
But for those who don't make it, I just want you to know this. My favorite player of all time is one Dan Currie, a former left winger for the Phoenix Roadrunners (Don't worry, you probably have no clue who he is). He was only "good enough" to play in the "bigs" for a total of 22 games, and did not see the ice in 16 of those 22. I can only imagine his sense of pride, that he "made it". Currie reminds me of that guy who, was not good enough to be that first guy taken in a pick up game (never mind and NHL draft), and then he was sitting on the bench and playing a few games in the bigs. Ohhh his blood must have been pumping when he got called into the office and the coach informing him four different occasions he was going up. And though it was for only a total 22 days, I can just bet it was like one "Crash" Davis said, "it was the best "22"days of his life!"
I guess what I am trying to say here, the minor leagues do mean something. The players mean something. So if your dream, or part of it was to make someone happy because of what you did out on the field, just know - you guys make me happy every time you step out on the field, win or lose!
And thanks to the coaches as well, who probably played on that level as well. That encouragement you give your players, the teaching of your players are more valuable than you think.

Siren was an interesting creation released in the US in April 2004 for the Playstation 2 and developed by Project Siren, a team comprised partly of developers who were involved in the creation of Silent Hill. Steeped in Japanese mythology, Siren follows the journey of ten characters as they navigate the perils that are presented to them in the small village of Hanyuda in rural Japan. The narrative centers around a religious ceremony that is interrupted, and as a result a massive earthquake ensues. Intriguingly, the small town becomes surrounded by a mysterious body of red water. Anyone exposed to the water eventually turns into a shibito. Shibito are more than your standard slowly shuffling and relatively unintelligent zombies. These enemies typically engage in repetitive activities, but if they've spotted you, they are relentless in their hunt. Unfortunately for the survivors, many of these shibito are capable of using weapons at their disposal such as farming tools and even rifles. Though this in and of itself is frightening, the scariest element of this game is that you cannot kill the enemies. If the characters have any hope of surviving, they must stealthily navigate through the town without alerting enemies, and even if the player gets lucky and manages to knock out an enemy, the effect is only temporary.
Thankfully, the player is presented with a tool to assist them in this frightening journey. Known as sightjacking, each of the characters has the intriguing ability to see through the eyes of enemies in order to figure out a path they need to take in order to avoid a potentially deadly confrontation.
It is at this point that I must bring up the main criticism that players have made about Siren. Many critics of the game mention the unmerciful difficulty, citing that inexperienced players will have to try and retry many segments in the game. Given that quite a few of the enemies can perform a one-hit kill on the player, I would agree that this assessment is apt. I would also say that the voice acting in the game is at times questionable.
Despite its faults, what is intriguing to me about Siren is its complex narrative. Without venturing too much into spoiler territory, I will say that having the village mysteriously transported somewhere outside of the confines of time is truly intriguing and perplexing. Adding to the confusion is the fact that the game is told in a non-linear fashion. Taking place over 3 days, the player can at one moment experience a scenario in the middle of day two and then jump to a scene which took place the night before.
This is an example of a game that received the remake treatment thanks to it achieving a 'diamond in the rough' status. More of a re-imagining of the original game, Siren: Blood Curse was released for the Playstation 3 in 2008, and it largely follows the formula established in the original game. It does depart from its source material by including American characters, several of which combine elements of some of the characters in the original game. The enemies are as relentless as ever, and the chills will once again run down your spine as you are often only a hair's length away from being chased by a merciless shibito.
Thus, if you are looking for a decent scare with elements of mythology and the supernatural, Siren should be right up your alley.

Time has already run out for smart watches
Only Apple can decide if tehy want to deliver the required info
Imho, the analysis is nonsense, though the conclusion appears correct. What people really want and need is a copy of their iPhone's "notification system" on a watch, that presents the information in an abridged, legible form. None of the watches presently offered or announced have this.
Why? Because the notification information is simply not output by the iPhone. Only some info, like SMS and caller ID, are transmitted via Bluetooth, in order to interact with hands free systems.
And the only company who could change that is Apple. Hence, it is Apple's responsibility to develop an appropriate watch or movement with the needed functions.
Only by this approach, all new apps that deliver information via the notification system could automatically be integrated into the watch's functionality.
By providing a movement instead of a complete watch, watchmakers would be enabled to integrate such movements into complete watches, from the cheap 300 Dollar Timex variant, to the 5000 Dollar Panerai variant; including individualized clock faces in the individual watchmakers' layouts.
Jobs: I'll decide what to do with Apple's $40bn cash pile
MacOS XI?
Has anybody noticed that OS development has more or less stalled in recent years? OSX is based on a system that first emerged in 1988, Linux and Solaris are remakes of an even older system, and Windows, well, you know that.
Boy, when I remmeber all those fancy ideas how computers should work we hadback then, and all the concepts that eventually never made it to the PCs of the world.
I attribute these baby step develoments without real, underlying progress to the increasing complexity. The entrance barriers are just too high, cost wise, but also project management wise.
So, I hope that Apple will use a significant part of this money to develop a next generation operating system. They will need the money for this task.
according to a very very rough calculation, that might cost around 30 bio USD. So, Apple would still have the money to develop OX XI :-)
The iPhone's love/hate relationship with hackers
Frustrating though, is that "serious" companies probably will not be willing to rely on hacked iPhones. TomTom comes to mind, who intend to write a car navigation prog, but might stumble over the licence agreement. And what about hardware development, now that Apple seems quite unwilling to open up the Bluetooth stack? Will anybody invest in an "illegal" solution for e.g. an external keyboard, or a hands free device including Bluetooth transmission not only of music (A2DP?!), but also of control commands?
US scientists puncture the ethanol biofuel bubble
Far from a solution
RRRoamer: The uran estimated to exist on this planet will only last for about 70 years, if used for electrical energy production. As only about 10 % of all our primary energy consumption are presently electricity, using nuclear power for the provision of every kind of energy required (heating and transportation etc) would reduce this time frame to about 7 years. Not really future proof, imho.
AI Jones: I have made a guesstimate for the requirements of wind turbines for producing all of the primary energy consumed in Germany, and ended up at about 3 million turbines. That will be close to ten such facilities per square kilometre.
Overall: Aside from the effect on carbon dioxide emissions, I do not think that humanity should use an even larger proportion of the available land masses, and should instead reserse as large areas as possible for "wilderness". At 6.5 billion people, we are devastating the whole planet, even without additional energy production from plants.
Maybe Sahara could be used for producing solar based energy, which in turn could be used to produce e.g. methanol directly from air carbon dioxide; but I am not sure.

Kim Kardashian is jealous of Kendall Jenner's legs, and we don't blame her. The 16-year-old model, designer, and reality show staple covers Australia's Miss Vogue this month and looks damn near flawless. (Not that it's that hard to look perfect when you're 16 and photo-shopped, but that's neither here nor there.) Kendall's got her dad's long, lean physique and her mother's jet black hair and clear brown eyes. She's naturally beautiful -- no wonder Kim is jealous.
Even though Kim and we aren't as leggy as Kendall, that doesn't mean we can't show off our stems. With these 5 simple tricks, your gams will be cover story worthy, too.
Here's to the illusion of longer, leaner legs.

I run. That keeps them lean and toned but not muscular.
I will never ever do #1.... at least not for decades. It sounds icky.

1. What is MicroStrategy Architect?
MicroStrategy Architect is a rapid development application that maps the physical structure of your database to a logical business model stored in a centralized metadata repository. MicroStrategy Architect users work through a single consolidated interface to perform all tasks in an intuitive, visual way.
2. What does MicroStrategy Architect allow users to do?
With MicroStrategy Architect, developers can design and maintain sophisticated business intelligence applications, at low cost and risk, in a comprehensive environment that is powerful, intuitive and secure. Through a single interface, developers can not only design an application but also assess the impact of any modeling or databases changes in real-time.
3. What are the benefits of using MicroStrategy Architect?
MicroStrategy Architect streamlines the project modeling process reducing application development time while reducing maintenance costs. An interactive and consolidated interface allows application developers to visually model projects thereby reducing application building time. Features such as automatic creation of project objects reduce modeling errors.
4. How easy is it to create new BI applications using MicroStrategy Architect?
MicroStrategy Architect allows you to create everything in one consolidated interface. Intuitive features like right-click functionality make this an easy experience for all users, from novice to advanced, while other features like the heuristics algorithm drastically reduce creation time.
5. What happens if there are changes to my business definitions?
Our centralized object oriented metadata instantaneously propagates all changes to all users and reports without any additional action needed. In fact, this process is completely transparent to the business users.
6. Can I test my business model by running reports?
MicroStrategy Architect integrates directly with MicroStrategy Desktop. Business terms can be defined and tested without leaving the Desktop application.
7. What documentation capabilities are available in MicroStrategy Architect?
MicroStrategy Architect can print details about the physical database schema and logical data model defined in the metadata repository. This information can also be exported to Microsoft® Excel.
Technical Questions about MicroStrategy Architect
8. What are the minimum requirements for MicroStrategy Architect?
Minimum requirements are a computer with at least a 1GHz Pentium-compatible CPU, 1GB of RAM and 1GB of hard disk.
9. What database platforms can be mapped using MicroStrategy Architect?
You can access data in all the major databases including Oracle, IBM DB2, Informix, NCR Teradata, Netezza, Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, Red Brick, Sybase and Non-Stop SQL.
10. Is MicroStrategy Architect available in other languages?
MicroStrategy Architect is available in English, French, German, Spanish, Korean, Italian, Swedish, Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese.
11. How long does it take to get MicroStrategy Architect up and running?
MicroStrategy Architect installs in minutes, and can automatically connect to any of the available MicroStrategy Intelligence Servers. Within an hour, the installation and setup are completed.
12. How does MicroStrategy Architect integrate with the rest of the MicroStrategy platform?
MicroStrategy Architect is the intuitive client-server interface used by application developers to create business intelligence applications that can be accessed by all MicroStrategy�s products.
13. What types of schemas does MicroStrategy Architect support?
MicroStrategy Architect provides the widest range of schema support in the industry. Star, snowflake, normalized, and de-normalized schemas can be mapped with MicroStrategy Architect.
14. Does MicroStrategy Architect provide the ability to recognize different column names for a single object?
Yes. MicroStrategy Architect provides heterogeneous column naming functionality to address this. For example, an attribute DATE could use a column called DATE_ID in one set of tables and a column called ORDER_DATE in another set of tables. The administrator can define these to mean the same attribute DATE.
15. How can I define complex business terms using MicroStrategy Architect?
Business terms can be defined using single or multiple columns, compound keys, constants, and/or user-defined expressions through editors and wizards. Expressions can use arithmetic operators to relate multiple columns, or define those using specialized functions that allow MicroStrategy to perform calculations, even if the underlying database doesn't support them.
16. How do I model aggregate tables in MicroStrategy Architect?
MicroStrategy Architect automatically identifies and calculates the correct level of granularity of the aggregate tables included in your model, and the SQL Engine dynamically references them when appropriate. No manual manipulation of fact definitions is necessary when using aggregate tables.
17. Does MicroStrategy Architect recognize partitioned fact tables?
Yes. MicroStrategy Architect uses a partition mapping definition to identify partitioned fact tables, which are used to speed up database query performance. This definition can be stored either in a database table or directly in the metadata repository.
18. What are the VLDB (very large database) properties?
VLDB properties adjust MicroStrategy�s ROLAP Engine to generate optimized database specific SQL used to extract information from the data-source. There are over 90 parameters that can be modified.
19. What are fact extensions?
Fact extensions lower the granularity of a fact based on an arithmetic expression, make a fact available to unrelated attributes, or disallow a certain fact to be calculated at particular attribute levels. This introduces considerable flexibility when designing data models and reduces the amount of data that needs to be stored in the data warehouse.
20. How are transformations used?
Transformations enable users to perform sophisticated time-series analysis across metrics by grouping and comparing data at different time periods. Reports that include current period, prior period and period-to-date comparisons are possible using a single metric definition and without needing to redefine the report filter.
21. How do I model hierarchies or dimensions?
Hierarchies represent a set of attributes with paths between them. The System Hierarchy contains the true relationships (i.e., parent-child) between all the attributes in the schema. The System Hierarchy is automatically defined when attributes are created and their relationships to related attributes are specified. MicroStrategy Architect provides a unique abstraction of hierarchies above the System Hierarchy called User Hierarchies, which can contain an arbitrary number of attributes and paths between them. These User Hierarchies allow users to browse through the data and drill as required by business needs, as opposed to how the data is physically stored in the data source.
22. Does MicroStrategy Architect support modeling of heterogeneous data sources?
Yes. MicroStrategy Architect will work with as many databases as you have to get the correct and pertinent data on your project. The databases show on the MicroStrategy Architect interface and the necessary tables from each are jointly included. You can use any and as many of the required data sources to create a report or document that meets your needs.

Despite the extreme heat, about 800 people turned out to Bailey Road Park Saturday evening for a Beach Bash.
Part of the Cornelius Parks, Arts, Recreation and Culture Department's Summer Concerts in the Park series, the event featured The North Tower Band, playing oldies, beach music, top-40 hits and funk.
In addition to the music, children enjoyed different activities, including the Coca-Cola Discovery vehicle with Wii games, a mist tent and surf simulator.
CorneliuNews.net was pleased to sponsor the event.

I made the Lemonade Shortcake Cups and they were easy and delicious -- very few ingredients.
At our meeting, other consultants made the following:
- Mexican Layered Dip - This was so good I plan to make it for our Oscar Party on Sunday.
- Mini Monte Cristo Puffs - The strawberry jam was really yummy on these, but I didn't really taste the ham and cheese so much.
- Summertime Spaghetti - As you said, this is really good. The Consultant made it with whole wheat pasta which I don't love, but it was still good. I'm eager to try it with regular pasta.
- Pina Colada Trifle - I loved this! I guess if you don't like coconut, you might not, but it's so light and delicious. I want to make this soon.
I'm so excited to try the Upside-Down Cherry Cheesecakes as soon as I get the Single-Servings Pan.

Blackout2 Reviews
Sadie has been stabbed just as the show starts....
yeah i know i might be writing too quickly but its the only think to do at the moment =]
so im going to try to make this chapter better but theres no tellin how itll come out.
and thank you to the ones that reviewed it means so much to me [gives you a thank you cookie] =]
I looked around at my back and saw only red on the shirt i was wearing that was orignally white,it was then in realized i had been stabed.I just kept looking at my back not knowing what to do.I could scream but it wouldnt do much good being at a MCR show.As i staired at the shining blade i felt my breathing becoming more and more shallow and my eyesight was fading away slowly i looked up in search for Alli but she was nowhere to be seen.Suddenly the knife was pushed in deeper and deeper until I lost all feeling in my body I looked up and just as i started to fall locked eyes with Mikey Way and mouthed "help".The last thing I rember was Mikey suddenly jumped off stage,put his bass down,and caught my body just as it was about to meet the hard,cold floor.
I could suddenly hear things and that terrible beeping sound just HAD to stop or i would go insane.
and AGAIN with the beeping,this will be the death of me.Suddenly i heard voices
"Mikey what were you thinking?!"a male voice yelled
"Gerard calm down i couldnt just let her fall,it just didnt seem right."Mikey replied
Wow the Way brothers were in the same room as me!it was exciting and i had forgot what had happened but suddenly rembered having the feeling come back to my body and once again felt the same pain in my shoulder
"Hey Gee Mikey is right calm down.Dont be selfish,the poor girl was stabbed for fucks sake!"Frank said to Gerard
"Yeah and that really helps,Frank."Gerard replied and you could tell without looking that he rolled his eyes.
It was then that i [finally] realized that i was in the hospital.I moved my fingers a little and knew that if i wanted to i could open my eyes but to tell the truth i was a little scared to do so but decided to stop being a wimp and do it.Slowly,my eyelids fluttered open.Eyeryone in My Chem was there and i looked around the room for a while letting it all sink in.
"wheres Alli?"I managed to croake[spell?]
It was mikey whow walked up to me and took my hand in his "Oh my God,she's awake!"He yelled seeming happy.
"Wheres Alli?"I repeated my question a bit louder this time.
"Whos Alli?"Mikey asked confused[spell?]
"My friend,she was at the concert with me..."I said looking around the room hoping to find anwseres but found nothing.
At that moment the nurse walked in.She was slightly over weight and was dark skinned.
"She's awake?"the nurse asked surprised.
"No fucking shit."I mumbeled quietly and tried to sit up failing and causing myself more pain.
A couple hours passed and the band decided to stay with me and the doctors took blood and gave me sevral shots and pain pills.Just as i started to feel very tired Bob came to talk with me and even stayed at my bedside untill i fell asleep.
I had thought that the sleep would be good but it just brought with it nightmares.I had awoken in the middle of the night and realized there was a very important question that had to be solved.Who did this to me?

Favorite Movie Characters » Kathryn Merteuil (Sarah Michelle Gellar)
"Eat me, Sebastian! It's okay for guys like you and Court to fuck everyone. But when I do it, I get dumped for innocent little twits like Cecile. God forbid, I exude confidence and enjoy sex. Do you think I relish the fact that I have to act like Mary Sunshine 24/7 so I can be considered a lady? I'm the Marcia fucking Brady of the Upper East Side, and sometimes I want to kill myself."

Toxic asset datapoint of the day, Lehman edition
We knew there was a lot of nuclear waste on Lehman's balance sheet. But we didn't know that was literally true:
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. is sitting on enough uranium cake to make a nuclear bomb as it waits for prices of the commodity to rebound, according to traders and nuclear experts.
At least uranium can in theory be used as a force for good, in nuclear power stations. Which is more than can be said for CDO-squareds.
(Via Wiesenthal)
This isn't news, Salmon. Lehman's U position has been common knowledge among the rockbangers for months.
Maybe we need a new mezzanine term like MSB (main stream blogs) to slide between MSM and specialist bloggers.
I just read an article in the Sydney Morning Herald, it says that China is building 30 nuclear powerplants and that Chinese companies are lining up to invest in Australian uranium mining and exploration companies.
Analysts warn China's nuclear expansion will not succeed unless it secures enough uranium. Reason enough to invest in uranium, as demand and price most probably skyrocket in the near future.

Bath duo Dan Hipkiss and Mat Gilbert extend deals
Centre Dan Hipkiss and back rower Mat Gilbert have signed contract extensions with Premiership side Bath.
Hipkiss, capped 13 times for England, is in his second season at the Rec, having joined from Leicester Tigers in the summer of 2011.
The 30-year-old has not played since 6 January because of injury.
Gilbert, 27, joined Bath in November on an initial six-month deal and has since made four Premiership appearances for the club.
The former Scarlets player has won 11 caps for the England deaf rugby team.
Coach Neal Hatley told BBC Radio Bristol: "He [Gilbert] has been very good for us. It took a long time to get an opportunity but he's grabbed it with both hands.
"He came in as an unknown but since he's been in he's won the admiration of the squad and the supporters. His extension is well deserved."
Speaking about Hipkiss's decision to stay on, Hatley added: "Before his injury, Danny was playing as well as he has done for a few years.
"He brings a competitive edge and although he's Mr Grumpy at training, he expects good standards."

Water Fight
Recorded: Friday, March 7, 2014
Senior Fellow Randy T. Simmons, co-editor of Aquanomics, looks at the battles over water in the western United States. Thirsty citizens of growing cities, farmers, factories and environmentalists are in a fight for a natural resource that is priced arbitrarily. Its value is determined not by the free market, but by bureaucrats. Outdated government reclamation projects and water policies have put residents of the Golden State at the mercy of the weather, and of government's mandatory regulations.
