A letter to DW:
As I sit down to write this letter, I can't help but reflect back on my introductory post – which seems like forever ago! While most is still true, a few things have changed:
- I knew I had a strong passion, but didn't realize I would continue to fall more in love with it daily.
- I have now worked alongside all of you amazing DC vendors and am constantly blown away by your talent, energy and creative minds.
- I knew I wanted to learn, but I now understand the importance of listening, emerging yourself and being overly eager to engage yourself with other like-minded people.
I'm not going to lie – I didn't TRULY understand what I was getting myself into when Jeannette asked me to take on this amazingly fun load of responsibility with her. The past few years with District Weddings have been more than I could have imagined. The relationships made, late nights and early mornings, endless albums of eye candy + constant overload of inspiration are only something that can be enjoyed first hand.
It is with a full heart, I am excited to announce that my southern roots are calling me home. I will be taking off on two exciting new journey's and I hope that each of you will follow along!
Thank you District Weddings, for allowing me to share my passion with all of you! To all of the creative individuals who make up this unbelievable industry – keep shining! You truly are all one of a kind. To my Occasions family, I do not have enough room to tell you how amazing you are, but you know I will write it in a book. Thank you for teaching me, emerging me and giving me wings! To Ms. J, thank you for this opportunity. You are my rock, my brain and my constant joy.

Bloomerent connects hosts with florists in their area and then allows them to either list their centerpieces to be shared or pick from a list of available centerpieces to opt into. Customers are rewarded for sharing by receiving a portion of their money back, dependent on whether they are the first or second event. Florists receive leads from Bloomerent and make additional revenue as they repurpose fresh flowers for a second event. The process is a win/win solution for both customers and florists while offering a green alternative. Our very own, Sidra Forman is a part of this community!
Bloomerent was founded to reduce floral waste, send florists new business and save customers money. Our service connects event hosts with a handpicked community of florists and allows them to share flowers arrangements between two events in close proximity. Flowers are used for only a few hours when they have a lifespan of 3-14 days. By sharing centerpieces, you not only give these blooms a second life but you save money for going green.

Hi Bill. Assuming you are indeed Bill. While liar is technically incorrect, you are being disingenuous. I have read your alleged positions, so let me ask you this. Pretend you are elected to Congress. Also pretend that the republicans regain the majority (which you would of course like). Your party leadership will immediately nominate an anti-abortion, pro-Afghanistan war, free trade and foreign aid supporter as House Majority Leader, all core positions you are allegedly against. Will you vote for him? If you say to me "no" - well I guess that IS a lie. (Jul 29, 2010 | post #61)

Nice try. Gunn = republican = party of the rich. His alleged views are a little different from both republicans and democrats. I say alleged because he's just lying about half of it.He could have run as an independent. He didn't. You can spin the whole populist republican Sarah Palin propaganda all you want, but it's all a lie. THough I am a democrat, I have infinitely more respect for the libertarians and unenrolled people who have commented on this board.

5 reviews | 4.6 out of 5
This movie was awesome. I enjoyed evey moment of it especially the merry go round scene. That was unbelievable. I am a huge Saw fan. I recommend watching this movie. I added it to my collection.
I Am Wanting To See This On Dvd.I Loved All The Saw Movies From 1-5.I Am Excited To See This One.I Know It Is Going To Be Good.Can't Wait For The Dvd.
Ordered this product from Walmart.com since I needed a Full Screen copy of this movie where the stores only carry in stock the wide screen versions so had to order this from site to store for I have ordered site to home DVD's before from Walmart.com where there was damage to the product in shipment so I figured site to store would be a safer and a cheaper way to get this movie but again the product was damaged in shipping so I had to return it in hopes to get a undamaged copy of this movie before Christmas since this will be a gift.
I've seen all the Saw movies (and own them all)except Saw 7. I'm watching Saw 6 right now, and let me tell you it's gotta be my favorite. If you're a Saw fan, I think you'll understand when you see it. Mr. Easton. . sorry to say, he deserved all of that. . . I'm so enjoying this movie right now, and I had to put it on pause just to write my review. I read the reviews from Saw fans and I have to say a personal thank you, because they were right. Saw 6 is a great addition to my collection and trust me, it will be the most-watched. My review in a nutshell: If you have any doubts about this being a lame sequel, forget about it. .this is one of the better ones!!!!!
I loved it. It worked perfectly, had no issues. I love the series and it was, without a doubt, a great addition to my collection.

Preservation Hall Jazz Band
New Orleans's iconic Preservation Hall Jazz Band's latest jaunt upriver promises to be extraordinary in every sense. With phenomenal Louisiana-Texas pianist Marcia Ball in tow, this unique, once-only performance at the new Guthrie will commemorate the original PHJB's 1964 concert at the old Guthrie with pianist/singer Sweet Emma Barrett, which was recorded for an album that's still in print. Ball, well-schooled in the pianistic eccentricities of the Crescent City, will re-create the rollicking style of Barrett, who was a charismatic presence on St. Peter Street even after a paralyzing stroke forced her to play one-handed. She would hunch over the keyboard like a vulture, while her music soared. This year is the 50th anniversary of Preservation Hall's founding by Allan Jaffe, and the venerable institution has thrived of late with a fresh, maverick spirit under the leadership of his son Ben. This collaboration with Ball is one example, as is PHJB's upcoming recording with bluegrass master Del McCoury. Ball, incidentally, has a new album of her own, Roadside Attractions, due imminently. This show will include previously unseen footage of the '64 event, plus trad jazz clarinetist Tommy Sancton, who will read passages from his memoir about Barrett and Preservation Hall in the '60s.

Anna and the King of Siam (1946)
Kralahome: [the Kralahome has just arrived to tell King Mongkut of the loss of Cambodia. Anna, meanwhile, continues to press the King about the issue of a private residence, to the point where even the King's staff members are singing "Home, Sweet Home"] Your Majesty! It has begun, Toongramon. We've lost Cambodia. Our governor of Cambodia has made a treaty with the French government. They have recognized Cambodia as independent of Siam, placed it under their "protection," and this governor of ours still protests his loyalty to Your Majesty.
King Mongkut: So, a camel's nose is in the tent. The partition of Siam, it has begun.
Kralahome: For a long time, we've said this hour must come. Now it is no longer talk. It is upon us. What do we do?
King Mongkut: Nothing. We shall do nothing whatever in this matter... because there is nothing we can do.
Kralahome: Your father took such a man once and burned out both his eyes, hung him in the sun in a cage over cool running water, until he went mad.
King Mongkut: [Heartbroken, yes resigned] We have not the right to waste ourselves on something which cannnot be changed. We shall save what strength and cunning we may have to hold together what is left of Siam. And if we cannot save all that is left, we shall save what we can.
Kralahome: [after a long pause] Tell me something Toongramon. A long time ago, I came to you and asked you to leave a life of peace, and to be King. If I could ask you now to make that choice, what would your answer be? Think well before you answer that. Think what this can mean to you.
King Mongkut: You feel great responsibility for me, don't you, Chow Koon?
Kralahome: You might still be living peacefully at the monastery if I had not persuaded you. Perhaps it is not too late to return. Think well on that. The monastery instead of this place, where you have only enemies and danger. Well, you know this is not the end. The ships of Europe will crowd thicker on our seas, greedy for conquest. They have the power... and the cunning. They know how to set your nobles against you, how to buy and threaten them. How can you hope to hold Siam together against enemies without and within? All that it can mean to you is that, in the end, you will die in a lost cause.
Kralahome: I have done you a sorry service to have brought you to this moment.
King Mongkut: [after a moment] I think you take too much credit on yourself, Chow Koon. There is a man born for every task, and I was born for this one. Remember, I was prince before I was monk. Let me ask you, if you were in my place, what would your answer be?
[Long pause. He cannot answer]
King Mongkut: Then give me as much credit as you allow yourself, my friend.
Kralahome: If only we had more time.
King Mongkut: [Court musician can be heard playing "Home, Sweet Home" outside the King's window] She's got someone else at it.
Kralahome: She?
King Mongkut: That woman and her house!
[Calls to court musician]
King Mongkut: Stop it!
[Music stops]
King Mongkut: Take a lesson from her, my friend, and you'll never give up on anything. Give her a house.
Kralahome: But...
King Mongkut: Give her a house! If she was meant to be a sign to us, she deserves a reward.
[Really angry now]
King Mongkut: And if she wasn't, well, give her a house anyway, before she drives me out of my mind!
Anna Owens: [Anna, thinking the king is a barbarian, is about to leave. The Kralahome has had her brought to his office at night to reason with her. She is outraged] How dare you treat me in this manner. I demand an explanation, and I warn you...
Kralahome: [Calmly] Be quiet, sir.
Anna Owens: ...that I'm a British subject.
Kralahome: That is nor reason you are safe. I could have you killed if that would serve my purpose. Such things are simple here.
[Walks across room]
Kralahome: Sir, did you enjoy your triumph about your house? Because you shall now enjoy greater triumph. I have something to ask of you. Not demand, but ask. It is that you shall Stay in Siam. You may enjoy yourself if you like, sir
Anna Owens: No matter what you ask, I wouldn't do it.
Kralahome: If you do not stay in Siam, where will you go?
Anna Owens: I don't know.
Kralahome: Have you other place to put your life?
Anna Owens: What has that to do with you?
Kralahome: Have you, sir?
Anna Owens: Please stop calling me "sir"!
Kralahome: [emphatically] I call you sir so you will not be lowly like a woman, but you continue to talk like a woman, I no longer call you sir. You think now you are nothing here, but that could be different.
Anna Owens: How could it be, so long as the king can change his mind from one day to another?
Kralahome: The king is not ordinary man.
Anna Owens: Indeed he isn't.
Kralahome: He is lonely man.
Anna Owens: Lonely!
Kralahome: Mem, I have watched you. I think there is need here for you. I think you know what is truth about many things, and I know you have the courage to speak it. The king has no one near him like you. He has many wives, but they cannot help him. You can speak with him as a woman where they cannot. And he will listen to you, because he will know you do not seek something for yourself.
Anna Owens: Indeed, I wouldn't. Least of all the chance to revolve around him. He doesn't need help.
Kralahome: Mem, why you not see? Why? He is two men! One part of him is king, like his father was. Other part tries to be man of new world, scientific man who desires to learn all modern things to save his country. But greedy men of Europe are at our door. They say Siam is barbaric land, and so must be ruled by them. So king must learn all modern things now. He tries work too big for any man, with no one to help. His own people are his enemies. They do not want change.
Kralahome: And sometimes inside himself is enemy that cannot change. Oh, mem, are you blind? Have you no eyes to see? He does not live coldly with mind as I do. But with heart. With heart, mem, as king must, and so is torn in two within himself. And to whom can he turn? Whom can he trust? He is very lonely man, and very strange man. Yet, for him, I would die.
Anna Owens: [after a long pause] I'm... I'm afraid I haven't been very understanding.
Kralahome: Mem, I cannot promise that it will ever be easy for you. We have proverb here: "Go up by land, and you meet tiger. Go down by water, and you meet crocodile." But for you, it will be place to put your life.
King Mongkut: Now always best time.

Skip to comments.Labor Department tells Arkansas businesswoman she can't have volunteers
Posted on 01/09/2014 1:14:57 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife
Ladies and gentlemen, be careful who you volunteer for you could be doing them a lot more harm than good. The federal government sometimes takes dim view of such generosity.
Just ask Rhea Lana Riner. She owns a small Arkansas-based business that organizes consignment sales. Since August, the Labor Department has been threatening her with stiff financial penalties, saying her business practices are illegal.
It has even been contacting donors to her events and encouraging them to instigate legal action against her.
Why? Well, the department says Riner cannot legally allow the people who provide items for sale to also volunteer at the events even if they want to. That violates of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Only paid employees can do that.
Riner is fighting back, and on Monday filed a legal complaint against the department with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The legal nonprofit group Cause of Action is representing her.
Rhea Lana, Inc., hosts what are essentially big semiannual yard sales. People who donate clothing or other items get 70 percent of the profits from the sales of their items as well as first crack at the other merchandise.
The donors also often volunteer at the events, doing things like hanging clothes or working the cash register. This helps to ensure that their items get sold. Thats also what got Riner in trouble with the feds.
In Aug. 26 letter, the DOLs Wage and Hour Division said the business was in violation of the FLSA because she wasnt paying the volunteers. The department said no penalty was being assessed at the time, but that any further "repeated or willful violations" of their ruling would result in fines "not to exceed $1,100 for each such violation."
The department ominously added: "Letters have been sent to the consignors/volunteers informing of their private right under the FLSA to bring an independent suit to recover any back wages due."
Rhea Lana's did agree to pay more than $6,300 in back wages to 39 people Riner concurred were not volunteers but independent contractors, but rejected the department's assertion the others were employees.
The department explained its thinking in the case an Aug. 30 letter to Rep. Tim Griffin, R-Ark.: It only allows volunteerism for religious, charitable, civic, humanitarian or similar non-profit organizations. Riners for-profit business did not qualify.
The letter to Griffin bluntly stated that it didn't matter what the volunteers themselves thought. It cited a 1945 Supreme Court ruling that found that the FLSA must "be applied even to those who would decline its protections." The court argued in that case that if exceptions were allowed for volunteers then "employers might be able to use superior bargaining power to coerce employees to make such assertions."
Cause of Action lawyer Reed Rubinstein called the departments interpretation absurd in Riners case. He argued the Supreme Courts ruling was meant to apply to people who were already working for the employer and therefore could be exploited with the threat of firing.
That was not the case with Riners consignors. They were not required to volunteer, controlled their own schedules when they did and couldnt be fired or otherwise disciplined since they didnt work for her to begin with.
"What power does Rhea Lana have over these people?" Rubinstein asked.
It is not clear if the volunteers themselves believe they have been exploited. According to Cause of Action, no complaints had been made by donors prior to the governments action. Nor were they aware of any of anyone following up on the departments invitation to take legal action.
I asked the Labor Department if they could cite any examples volunteers claiming to be exploited. A spokesman declined to answer the Washington Examiners inquiries on the matter.
The spokesman said only: "The U.S. Department of Labor is not aware of any complaint filed by Rhea Lana, Inc. against the department. However, we will review any complaints filed against us, and will respond accordingly."
They want their cut.
The Junior League and others have been doing this for years.
They don't like her business because it is likely mostly cash, and they can't watch her (or the register) all day, nor can they watch the volunteers. They only want their frigging money.
They want to be masters of EVERYTHING.
Well that's what we get when pride goes to bureaucrats' heads. It's bad enough having a crazy king. Having millions of them is worse.
BTW, I have "saved" that one!
Thank you so much!
They don't even care about the money. Their goal is to oppress and controll.
They don't even care about the money. Their goal is to oppress and control.
At the next event she runs she could call her volunteers "unpaid interns".
It's all about control of the citizens, I'm sure someone will eventually bring out the quote from Atlas Shrugged about making everyone a criminal through ceaseless laws and regulations.
I think that it does go much deeper though, this incident and so many others that have been reported lately are looking, to me at least, as designed to keep people pissed off. Why though? It could be misdirection so that we aren't calmly and rationally examining something else.
Something to think about anyway.
It's one of my favorites. Enjoy.
What about the Girl Scout cookie sails?
I'll use it to ping her list one day!
I agree. Harmony isn't in the Alinsky playbook (community organizer manuel). Big government must be needed and called on for help and CONTROL.
We ought to sue the DNC, state Democrat partys and OFA for all of the laws and regulations they single handedly force upon us causing pain and expense.
No more barn-raisings in this country, folks!
folks helping each other at cooperatve yard sales .... job stealers!
Just about as dangerous as the Little Sisters!
GS is a nonprofit
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people and eat out their substance.
The American Civil Liberties Union has ........O wait..maybe they didn't.
Bump for later.
AOL had a similar problem with volunteers that hosted various groups.
Something like that isn't going to draw attention unless it turns into running a flea market from a neighbor's garage.
Just ask Rhea Lana Riner. She owns a small Arkansas-based business that organizes consignment sales. Since August, the Labor Department has been threatening her with stiff financial penalties, saying her business practices are illegal.
Everyone hates ROMNEY!!
I see what you did there! LOL!
Say NO to the Nanny Statists!
Riner is fighting back, and on Monday filed a legal complaint against the department with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The legal nonprofit group Cause of Action is representing her.
Are they going after the nonprofit group Cause of Action if their attorney is volunteering his services probono?
I have a case in Fed Tax Court right now where my client paid health insurance, reimbursed expenses, provide meals in the business, and provided housing on premises of the business (a restaurant) and the IRS is trying to deny the deduction for the insurance and expenses as he was "Not Paid as an Employee." He worked there as an "unpaid employee."
Note: He was not paid under the table. He lived on his retirement income and did not want the money, but wanted to keep busy.
I think about stories like this every time someone claims America is still based on free-market capitalism.
A three day shut down of ALL businesses nationwide would do wonders to put these enemies of the state back in their designated spaces - one step above McDonalds.
They are not volunteers, they are partners.
Is it 1776 yet?
Why can't they organize it as a Flea Market?
Everyone pays a space fee, sets up and runs their own booth. Only the fee goes to the organizer. Everyone else is running their own business. The organizer uses the fee to pay for space, advertising and their services in keeping it organized.
Just like a Craft Fair.
What am I missing about how this is run?
"team members"
"What am I missing about how this is run?"
I think a lot of this whole thing is semantics. The whole thing smells of some disgruntled person, whether it be a competitor or customer, who ran to a governmental agency and "alerted" them to this "violation". After "demanding" that some action be taken, the agency acted as a weapon of the complainant's vendetta and issued a ruling.
The agency effectively chose not to take any enforcement action per se.
Sounds about right.
30% to the organizer is fair for the use of the venue, the advertising and organization of the space, plus clean up. The vendors couldn't do that well on their own as the larger event draws more traffic.
Many flea markets and craft fairs charge a booth fee and a commission. High end antique shows and juried art fairs often charge admission, too.
The organizer can easily change the format.
I really hate all these personal grudge-holders who go running to nanny to report someone. Out here, it is Greenies constantly taking complaints and videos to the DNR. DNR finds most of them egregious and without merit and resents the waste of time. Many of the complainers are out-of-staters here for the catch and release trout fishing. They trespass at will and lecture the landowners."It's not fair" to deny them the *right* to traipse across private land, sit on private land, camp on private land, all for free and with all the liability on the landowner. One hippy-dip woman took possession of a rock ledge overlooking the river on our property, set up some sort of hanging totem and a rock cairn and was crying when my husband explained that she had no permission, it was our land and we would be liable if she hurt herself, so she was to leave and take her stuff with her.
For instance my niece belongs to a non-profit org for moms and families of multiples, i.e. twins, triplets, quads, etc. Twice a year they hold a kids clothing and equipment sale that is open to the public for purchases but the volunteers; the members of the non-profit, my niece being one of them, organizes, runs and promotes the sales themselves and any of the profits above the % the club member consigners make (and they dont allow the general public to consign their stuff, only their members) but mostly from the food and bake sales at the event, goes back to the club to support their stated non-profit activities including but not limited to general education and increased understanding about multiple births, support for families of multiples who are in dire financial need, a scholarship fund for kids from multiple families, support for orgs like the Ronald McDonald House in their support for families with multiple babies in NICU, and that which is not sold is donated by the consigners to womens shelters or given away for free to members in need. They hold their sales at a local church, renting the space for little or nothing or for nominal donation to the church. No one, even the member consigners are making any great personal profit although some members and the public do get some good deals, it is often far below the FMV and below what they could sell these items at a for profit consignment shop. My niece used the money from the stuff she sold, clothes and toys and baby gear that her girls have outgrown to buy other stuff for her triplets, in some cases brand new clothes with the tags still on them for a $1 or $2 a piece.
Her company OTOH rents space at a public retail location and advertises these short term consignment sales, both to bring in consigners from the general public who have only a for profit interest and customers from the general public. They are not donors but consigners. Part of her business model is that she promises these consigners better and quicker sales as her company sets up and organizes these large short term sales and promotes to the consigners that they will see bigger profits over what they would get from more traditional brick and mortar for profit consignment shops and she, her company advertizes to the general public that they will find bigger selections and better prices. The consigners use her licensed software system and website to log in their items and bar codes and tag them; the consigners get 70% of the sale but she or one of her franchisees gets the other 30% for their services. Part of those services is to promote, advertize, run the cash registers, provide security, etc. Thats how she or one of her franchisees makes their money. Rhea Lana Riner also makes money by selling franchises and licensing her branded software. She, if you look at her website, is definitely an entrepreneur, not that thats a bad thing but she is in the business of making money and her endeavors are not altruistic or charitable.
We rent a large space for a few days, say an unused department store. Parents with clothes and children's items to sell sign up online, enter their items into a computerized tracking system and choose their sale price. Then they bring the clothes and other items to the sale location, label them with preprinted price tags and display the clothes. Parents keep 70%; we keep 30%. It is easier than a garage sale, makes more money for parents, and shoppers efficiently find good deals.
A big part of our success are the hundreds of parents both consignors and shoppers who voluntarily work brief shifts to help set up before the sale starts. In exchange, these parents get to shop first with more choices and better merchandise.
The problem with having volunteers working for a for profit company are many fold. The consigners are in essence working for a for profit company with the exchange, the idea and or promise of getting to shop first. But if one of these volunteers say works 10 hours but only sell $10 worth of merchandise at 70%, they are making way below minimum wage while her company is making a profit without the overhead of paying any wages as would a traditional brick and mortar consignment shop that follows and is subject to DOL and IRS rules regarding employees. And the shoppers who volunteer but dont consign, they arent making anything at all, their only advantage is in getting first pick of the best stuff and not even with any added discount.
Look at it this way. Suppose Target hired volunteers to work on Black Friday. Say Target got these volunteers to stock shelves, assist the paying customers and run the cash registers over the Black Friday weekend, and their only compensation or promise of compensation was to get to shop for the best Black Friday Door Busters deals an hour before the store was open to the general public. If they decided that none of the deals were worth it, they basically worked for nothing, if they saved $100 but worked 80 hours for that discount, which after the store was open that any of the general public could also get that very same deal, most of us I think would think they had been ripped off.
I have worked in HR/Payroll for over 25 years and believe me when I tell you that Im not a big fan of the DOL. But OTOH, some of these rules do protect workers from employer abuse and employers finding inventive ways of skirting around labor and FLSA laws. Now whether we like these laws or not and whether a person has the right to voluntarily work for no wages but for some other form of compensation, that is another question entirely. But currently, thats not how the labor laws work.
this is a group yard sale, the organizer takes a share for organizing it, we all volunteer and help out, no one except the organizer takes any income unless from selling our own stuff, so she is her only "employee"
This is an IRS grab against middle income people, imho
stealing "jobs" by using volunteers to sell their own stuff? lol!

Finishing up the migration series, let's talk about how you would migrate out of a storage cloud. With public storage clouds in particular, this can be a critical issue. These services are all in their infancy. What if you pick the wrong one, how can you get your data back?Initially, migration isn't going to be a big ordeal because most early adopters of cloud storage are using the services as an area to store backups and archives, but as the comfort level of the services increases, so will the data sets. As those data sets increase, so will the importance of an exit strategy. Similar to migration issues with internal disk-based archive solutions, migration from a public cloud is going to be a challenge that is compounded by the fact that the Internet is between you and your data.
If the cloud supplier isn't using its own proprietary technology, migration could be made to another service using the same technology. For example, the cloud service provider could use a standard archive-based solution as its storage back end from one of the standard archive storage providers like Copan Systems, Permabit, or EMC, all of which have replication capabilities. You simply (assuming you negotiated this upfront) could replicate your data from one provider to another. Similar to online backup service providers that use tools like Asigra, moving to another provider is pretty straightforward.
If the public cloud supplier is using cloud storage and/or cloud storage software like those solutions from Cleversafe or ParaScale, again the ability to move data to another provider should exist -- just confirm that this capability is on the road map and that you are comfortable with the time frames.
Private storage clouds are essentially public storage clouds on your internal intranet, but because they are internal they follow much the same migration rules that we wrote about in our previous entry on disk archive migration. The challenge is that I expect a private cloud to grow in capacity much more rapidly than a public cloud. There is a higher comfort level, it is behind your firewall and access should be somewhat faster. With either a disk-based archive or a private cloud, selection is critical because as the capacity of the archive grows, migration becomes more and more challenging. With either technology look for scalability, cost efficiency, and reliability.

The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?

The Dreamkeepers
In the second edition of her critically acclaimed book The Dreamkeepers, Gloria Ladson-Billings revisits the eight teachers who were profiled in the first edition and introduces us to new teachers who are current exemplars of good teaching. She shows that culturally relevant teaching is not a matter of race, gender, or teaching style. What matters most is a teacher's efforts to work with the unique strengths a child brings to the classroom. A brilliant mixture of scholarship and storytelling, The Dreamkeepers challenges us to envision intellectually rigorous and culturally relevant classrooms that have the power to improve the lives of not just African American students, but all children. This new edition also includes questions for reflection.
Praise for the First Edition
"The Dreamkeepers keeps hope alive for educating young African Americans."
—Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, president and founder, National Rainbow Coalition
"The Dreamkeepers is an immensely important and useful book for teachers and teacher educators. . . . In a creative, credible, and persuasive way, Gloria Ladson-Billings has made a major contribution to the field of multicultural education."
—JaCqueline Jordan Irvine, Charles Howard Candler Professor of Urban Education,Emory University
"Ladson-Billings integrates scholarly research with stories of eight successful teachers in a predominantly African American school district to illustrate that the 'dream' of all teachers and parents—academic success for all children—is alive and can be emulated."
—Library Journal
"Here is a book filled with pride and questions that should stimulate anyone interested in improving education."

I'm a sixth-grade English teacher, and I've always needed to implement pride in my black students. This book should be read by all African American teachers. Education is widely needed in the black community, and this book will put us looking in the right direction. Another book that deals with the education of black kids is 'Why do I have to be your Nigger? Theories in Niggativity.'
As a candiate for a Master Degree in Social Studies Education I was advice to read this book over my X-Mas break and I feel in love with it right after the first 5 pgs. Ms. Billings brings so many things to life in this book that it is crucial for all new and experience teachers to read if they want to teach students of color. This is a must read for educators of any race, religion, or background.

The sport's first season, of course, culminated with the Triple Crown. But the jewels, dazzling and exciting as ever, proved to be inconclusive. And so the 3-year-olds continue to sort themselves out, like youngsters pushing and shoving to get to the front of the line. Well, one of them probably will arrive there Saturday, assuming, at least for the moment, a leadership role within the division with a victory at Saratoga in the Travers. And these Travers youngsters, especially Orb and Palace Malice and Verrazano, look as if they could be capable in the fall of competing at the highest level with their elders.
Only nine 3-year-olds ever have won the Classic, the last one being Raven's Pass in 2008, a European invader who mistook the synthetic surface for the turf. Of the nine, four had won a Triple Crown race, and three of the four, Unbridled being the exception, were named Horse of the Year. A year before Raven's Pass, also as a 3-year-old, Curlin won the Classic on his way to being named Horse of the Year.
Could the same happen this year? Could a 3-year-old seize the Classic and maybe even the sport's top honor, the golden Eclipse Award? Maybe. The initial ESPN.com Classic poll includes three 3-year-olds in the top 10.
But secure at the top of the poll is Game On Dude. The Dude just keeps getting better. A 6-year-old, he's unbeaten in four starts this year, most recently taking the Hollywood Gold Cup. In fact, he hasn't last year's Breeders' Cup Classic, where he was rated and taken out of his free-running game, which resulted his finishing seventh.
In preparation for Sunday's Pacific Classic at Del Mar, he worked five-eighths of a mile Monday in 59.60 seconds, spotting a stablemate, Bank of Eight, a seven-length headstart and catching him in the stretch. The Dude's trainer, Bob Baffert, said it was just what the veteran gelding needed.
Also among the top 10 are Fort Larned, last year's Classic winner; Cross Traffic, who never has finished worse than second; Royal Delta, who won the Ladies' Classic each of the last two years, but is good enough on her best day to take on anybody; Paynter, the best story in racing; and the Dan brothers, Successful and Wise. And so here's the first ESPN.com Classic Contenders Poll.
1. Game On Dude
A winner of more than $5 million in his career, he has been remarkably consistent and reliable. A Classic victory would put among the richest of horses and make amends for last year.
2. Cross Traffic
The tenacious winner of the recent Whitney has lost but twice in his career, both in a photo. He has continued to improve, according to his trainer, and will make his next start Aug. 31 in the Woodward at Saratoga.
3. Fort Larned
Last year's Classic winner has been a model of inconsistency this year. He looked invincible when he won the Stephen Foster by six lengths, but then he faltered when unable to get the early lead in the Whitney. He could return in the Woodward.
4. Palace Malice
His early races this year left the words of an old Ray Charles tune ringing in the ears: "If it wasn't for bad luck, ya'll, I wouldn't have no luck at all." But everything came together for him when he won the Belmont Stakes, then he took the Jim Dandy, and as he aims at the Travers he seems to have continued to move forward.
5. Verrazano
How good is he? The Travers could answer the question, as well as the lingering question about his classic-distance ability. He's a monster of a horse with a monstrous talent, having won his last two by a total of 19 lengths. His only loss came on a muddy Churchill surface in the Derby.
6. Orb
After disappointing efforts in the Preakness and Belmont, the Kentucky Derby winner is back. He worked sharply Monday morning -- a half-mile in about 47.60 seconds -- over the usually deep Oklahoma training track in preparation for the Travers.
7. Royal Delta
When she won the Delaware Handicap by nearly 11 lengths, she reminded everyone just how good she is. At her best, she can beat the "guys." Running in the Classic must be a temptation, but it'll be hard to resist going for a third consecutive victory in the Distaff, or Ladies' Classic.
8. Paynter
After winning last year's Haskell, he nearly died. But he has come back from death's doorstep to be a Classic contender and the sport's best story. He's expected to travel to Saratoga for the Woodward.
9. Successful Dan
He closed powerfully to be second in the Whitney and could be better on dirt than his more celebrated brother, Wise Dan. Successful Dan could return in the Woodward.
10. Wise Dan
Including him in this Classic poll is a rather loud expression of wishful thinking. Yes, he would be an intriguing addition to the Classic lineup, but so would Pegasus. But like Pegasus, the reigning Horse of the Year is very unlikely to show up in the Classic starting gate. He's aimed instead at the Breeders' Cup Mile, which he won a year ago.
Also receiving votes: Will Take Charge (29), Freedom Child (23), Overanalyze (15), Princess of Sylmar (10), Beholder (8), Dreaming of Julia (7), Java's War (5), Palace Malice (4), Govenor Charlie (4), Noble Tune (3), Frac Daddy (2), Titletown Five (2).

The authors' purpose is "to acquaint larger circles of the medical profession with the role played by lack of exercise in the origin of a variety of diseases," both physical and mental. After an opening chapter defining "hypokinetic" as "caused by insufficient motion," there follow 2 chapters on back pain and orthopedic disabilities, a chapter on lack of exercise among present-day American young people, 6 chapters on cardiovascular aspects of the problem, 2 on metabolic or internal disease, 1 on emotional disturbances, and 2 on constructive suggestions.
Most people are prepared to admit that we need more physical exercise, but much of this book is devoted to efforts to drive the point home by all sorts of evidence. Some of this comes from recent work with a fitness-test that has been widely criticized, as in the recent article by Rodahl et al. (Arch Environ Health2:499-510 [May] 1961). Some

Linux Timeline
Sharp Electronics Corporation begins a special Linux developer prerelease of the Zaurus PDA to attract free software developers to the hot new platform.
Avaya, the former PBX and enterprise systems division of Lucent, announces Linux-based PBX systems.
``So there are some--and I'd list myself among them--who believe that the return to Earth is a good thing. There's nothing wrong with making a buck, but Linux doesn't benefit from being elevated beyond reality on a shaky foundation.''--Evan Leibovitch takes a look at the post-rush world of Linux.
We would like to recognize our indebtedness to Rebecca Sobol and Jonathan Corbet at Linux Weekly News, for allowing us to borrow heavily from the timeline featured on their site and for their accurate and gracious historical editing.
Have you released the compiled list ?
The 150th issue is still released, but I can´t find the compiled list with all Linux events from 2002. Will we the the list next time?
Can you make a continuation? like Linux Timeline II
I think the continuation would very interesting.
Like SCO's Unix and Linux copyright claims, etc.
MCC Interim Linux
MCC Interim Linux distribution, was made available to the public for download on the ftp server of University of Manchester in February, 1992.
Re that Microsoft print ad,
Re that Microsoft print ad, another, larger version is here: <http://www.ao.com/~regan/penguins/>, along with a parody rejoinder.
Infamous Microsoft print ad
I had a hunt around for that (in)famous Microsoft print ad you mentioned from October 2000. Here's a copy still online: <http://quartus.net/msad/>.
No mention of the switch
No mention of the switch from a.out to ELF? The first port a non-intel system (it was DEC alpha, right?)? SMP support in the 1.2 kernel, when it started becoming more than just a hobby OS?
A bit weak on the early big events, I'd say.
-- Allen, linux user since November 1993
Small correction
Samba 2.0 is released. It contains a reverse-engineered implementation of the Microsoft domain controller protocols, allowing Linux servers to provide complete services to Windows networks.
I'd like to correct this statement. Samba was technically not developped via reverse engineering, but by sniffing the network traffic. To many the difference may seem irrelevant, but it is in fact of significant legal importance. The Samba team has never used reverse-engineering for their work. See e.g. http://chaosradio.ccc.de/cre025.html Sorry a german podcast only (Interview with Volker Lendecke)
Other events: HAL & Ubuntu
The day HAL was released should be remembered. HAL allowed a lot of the Ease of use stuff to go forward.
VMware for Linux
I think VMware support for Linux in 1998 is a great milestone too.
Linux TimeLine - Yggdrasil 1994
Major point missed in article - Summer 1994 - Yggdrasil makes Linux available on crdom. This was the first offering (that I know of) that allowed the average Joe to get his hands on Linux. I've still got my cdrom, boot disk, and (rather good) instruction pamphlet from Yggdrasil and the white box 386sx that I ran it on. Working for (then) Western Electric which had close ties to Bell Labs I had been using Unix at work for years but it wasn't until the Yggdrasil cdrom that I had it running at home. mmmmmmmmmm virtual terminals and a Unix like environment -- great memories.
August 1994 Walnut Creek -2 CD set SlackWare
Bought this 2 CD set in Europe in a computershop, january 1995.
It saved me a lot of money because I only had a 14.4 k modem, like most people in those day's, so the early CD distributions played a very important role in the adoption of oss.
Slackware 2.0 , Sunsite, rsx-11 and mail archives
And last but not least everything about X Windows.
May 2003
Researchers at the University of Chicago turn Sony Playstations into a Linux based supercomputer.
January 2003
Rumors of SCO's intellectual property lawsuit plans surface. Two months later they file suit against IBM claiming breach of contract and theft of trade secrets. More lawsuits are to come.
What happened since Feb. 2002?
I'm curious why the timeline stops at Feb. 2002...it's been 3 years, something *must* have happened worthy of writing about.
November 1991
One fateful day a young guy came over to my apartment to visit. We'd met on the local BBS scene and he wanted to show me something cool. That guy was the inimitable and unparalleled Erik "the" Ratcliffe. The cool thing he came to show me was, of course, Linux. He brought with him two 5.25" floppy disks, HJ Lu's boot/root disks. We fired it up and played for hours. OC, we didn't have much to play with back then but just being able to do crap on a *NIX shell prompt was way cool.
Shortly after that day I started using my shell account from a local ISP to ftp files from tsx-11 and sunsite to put up on my BBS (My UnKnown BBS). At that time I was one of, if not the largest, BBS's that had Linux available for download. I had callers from all over the world downloading everything from MCC Interim, TAMU, SLS and Slackware.
Over the years I've met a lot of the big names in the community. I've even been complimented on my efforts to bring Linux, and open source in general, to the US Army. The last 3 or 4 years I've been forced to step out of the grind due to health reasons. But I still use Linux and open source for everything I do on computers. There hasn't been anything that I needed to do that I can't do with Linux and open source.
So now I'm just an old, crippled user hardly anyone remembers. But it doesn't matter. The ride was wonderful and the road to the future is wide open.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
On Demand
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Given any arbitrary text file full of printable characters, how can this be converted to HTML that would be rendered exactly the same (with the following requirements)?
- Does not rely on any but the default HTML whitespace rules
- No
- No CSS
- No

tags are fine, but not required (

s and/or

s are fine)
Whitespace is maintained exactly.
Given the following lines of input (ignore erroneous auto syntax highlighting):
Line one Line two, indented four spaces
A browser should render the output exactly the same, maintaining the indentation of the second line and the gap between "indented" and "spaces". Of course, I am not actually looking for monospaced output, and the font is orthogonal to the algorithm/markup.
Given the two lines as a complete input file, example correct output would be:
Line one
 Line two, indented four spaces
Soft wrapping in the browser is desirable. That is, the resulting HTML should not force the user to scroll, even when input lines are wider than their viewport (assuming individual words are still narrowing than said viewport).
I'm looking for fully defined algorithm. Bonus points for implementation in python or javascript.
(Please do not just answer that I should be using

 tags or a CSS
white-space rule, as my requirements render those options untenable. Please also don't post untested and/or naïve suggestions such as "replace all spaces with
." After all, I'm positive a solution is technically possible — it's an interesting problem, don't you think?)

Make Room for the Class Act Among Teen Movie Queens
Bonham Carter feels otherwise. Making movies makes her nervous. Aside from a TV commercial and a small TV role, she had never before acted. "I feel frustrated by my lack of experience," she says. Offscreen, her garb suggests a suffragette with hypothermia. Big sweaters. Long skirts. Thick socks. Sturdy boots. "I think a glamorous life-style is ultimately unrewarding," she says.
Her conservatism is inbred. A great-grandfather, Herbert Henry Asquith, was a Prime Minister; a grandmother, Lady Violet Bonham Carter, was a member of the House of Lords. Helena respects that tradition. She doesn't feel her style cramped by sharing her parents' eight-bedroom home near Hampstead Heath. Her mother works as a part-time psychotherapist; her father, a former merchant banker, is now confined to a wheelchair after a brain-tumor operation six years ago.
Helena, who has two older brothers, admits that doing two films took time away from finding boyfriends. "I missed out a bit," she allows. Her new career also has interrupted school friendships and her education. British universities must move aside for acting classes since Helena is now determined "to make a go of it." She frets, though, about a "meteoric rise" followed by a "bumpy ride down. I don't want to end up like John Travolta."

50 reviews | 4.2 out of 5
HAIER MICROWAVE: amazing, super compact heating machine. this heats up more quickly than the GE .7 cu. the case of this microwave is noticeably smaller than the GE, but the inside is the same dimensions as the GE. i can fit the same things in both. you can time it for multiple power settings at different intervals. i have had it for 3 months using probably 5 or 6 times per day without problems. the buttons: you can just hit a number and it will start. also there is the +30sec button. plate spins. complaint: mine came with a big sticker on the door that blocks the view inside. i took about 15 minutes just to peel the sticker off because it is so big (covers like 2/3 of the door) and difficult to peel. but the door is now clean and good, and i can see through the window easily into the food. also the picture makes the microwave look really ugly, when in fact it is very eye pleasing. (shiny white plastic, shiny black screen). by far this is the best .7 cu microwave
microwave is perfect size for our smaller kitchen, works just fine, easy to understand, no complaints except the popcorn setting is not long or strong enough, you will need to add on more time. I like the white color.
I've had this Microwave for a couple months. I've had no problems at all with it and just the right size for a small kitchen
HAIER MICROWAVE: amazing, super compact heating machine. this heats up more quickly than the GE .7 cu. the case of this microwave is noticeably smaller than the GE, but the inside is the same dimensions as the GE. i can fit the same things in both. you can time it for multiple power settings at different intervals. i have had it for 3 months using probably 5 or 6 times per day without problems. the buttons: you can just hit a number and it will start. also there is the +30sec button. plate spins. complaint: mine came with a big sticker on the door that blocks the view inside. i took about 15 minutes just to peel the sticker off because it is so big (covers like 2/3 of the door) and difficult to peel. but the door is now clean and good, and i can see through the window easily into the food.
Just the right size for my pop-up camper. I can use the small 1200 watt generator. small and compact and can go wherever my prospecting takes me.
I just moved and bought this for my apartment. It is great. It has a defrost by weight or time defrost and most of all I love the kitchen timer!! Good value for the money.
Pros: Low price, small size fits nicely on kitchen counter, black and white color matched my other kitchen appliances (stove, fridge). Fast delivery to home. Very well packed.
Cons: Came with a difficult to remove "features" label covering most of glass door. Had to use warm wet towel and old credit card to scrape off label. Took over two hours moistening and scraping. Somewhat odd use of number buttons, pressing 1 automatically starts microwave for 1 min. Works this way for 1 through 6, i.e., press 2 = immediately starts running for 2 mins. Ok feature once you get used to it but I'd rather be able to enter the time myself and then press Start. Worked ok but it does take noticeably longer than 1100W microwave. About an extra minute per every 5 mins.
Biggest con is that it died just after 6 months of occasional daily use. It now turns on, spins contents and I can hear what sounds like a fan but it does not heat up food.
I have extensively investigated the market for the following features: size, price, simplicity of operations, and visibility of the digital indicator. Size should have been small to be placed in a small kitchen with 4 ft long counter top. Simplicity was required because it was supposed to be used to heat meals only. Visibility of indicator was for intended use by a person with very poor vision. Lowest price was obvious. This oven has satisfied all the requirements. No complaints after the first month of use.
Gets things hot, not super hot and that's a good thing
I needed a compact microwave to fit on my small counter and this was the best one for the money. What a great price! It works perfectly. Only complaint is I couldn't figure out how to microwave for less than a minute or in increments that weren't full minutes, but my sister showed me. Hit the power button first then put in your time. Good little microwave for $50.
I dont know why this model is not sold in stores. It is the best, small Microwave at the same comparable cost as the 1's sold in the store, but better looking & has better ratings than those sold in the store. Having to order & send to store worth it for this model. Nice compact size & does what you need it to do. No shipping problems & was packed very well--double boxed--no damage. For sure a "winner" if you just need a small, compact product & the price was the lowest than from other sites for the exact same model. Saved abt 25$ getting at W/M.
When my old microwave broke I decided I liked having the counter space more than having a microwave. After close to a year, I missed the convenience of being able to quickly heat up small meals or beverages and started looking for a small microwave that had a lot of features but wouldn't take up too much space. After doing a lot of research I purchased the Haier. This microwave was highly rated on Amazon and had many reviews. So far, it has been a great product. The defrost feature works well, although I don't use it to defrost frozen meat. It is good for reheating beverages and for cooking frozen meals and is a big help in recipe prep. I wasn't sure if it came with a turntable but it does and I like that feature. The user manual slides easily under the unit. The only problem is removing the huge sticker from the door. Good luck with that. Very time consuming and messy.
This was just what I wanted, love the size. Works great!
it was inexpensive and works for what we need it to right now. This is NOT a high power microwave and it will take a little longer to heat things. Also the popcorn setting is fairly worthless. U should just time it on your own. Will update about durability and any other issues once we've had it longer than 2 weeks.
It's the cheapest, smallest microwave oven I could find. That's what I wanted, and this is pretty much it. I've only had it for a month, and don't expect it to last for a long time. But for all that, it is, indeed, doing what it's supposed to do.
I was very disappointed to find out this microwave would only allow you to program for 30 seconds or full minute increments. You could add 30 seconds at a time with a 30-second button, but that still is limiting. I can understand that for rotary dial microwaves, but not one with an led keypad and timer. I will often use 10 to 15 second increments which made this microwave unacceptable for me, so I returned it. It seems that other similar microwaves in the same price range can easily be programmed for any number of minutes, so I don't understand it. Even the representative I called, when I described the problem, said "Huh?" He found it surprising as well. There is no warning or description about this either before it is purchased. You can do better for around the same money and I do not recommend it.
I ordered and had this microwave shiped to my son in Afghanistan who is in the Army and working out of a forward operating base in the mountains. Walmart shiped it and he got it in two weeks! It arrived in one piece and he has it in his GP tent hooked up to a cord with power supply from a generator. He's happy as can be. Hot water/coffee for the platoon! Thanks Walmart.
Price was good, It looked nice, but unfortunately It arrived defective. The door would not open the button to open it did not work. It felt like the spring inside to open the door was missing or broken. Return it to Walmart and the return was very easy. Because Walmart did not carry the same model in store, we purchased a different brand because we need it a microwave right away.
Some food products like pot pies recommend only using 1100 watt ovens because pot pies need to be cooked fully. This being a 700 watt oven does not have enough power to fully cook some things.
But I bought this for reheating pre-cooked food, and it works great for tv dinners, left-overs, reheating my coffee and every thing else.
Great features, easy to operate, takes up very little space, this really makes a great addition to any kitchen or dorm room.
And how can you beat the price!
Ordered on line on Monday and was delivered on Friday.
Thanks Walmart for the great service!
this micro wave serves our family purposes. It heats up and thaws out the food just fine. Although i never use the micro wave to cook.
