January 20, 1988
United States of America
Seville Industrial Machinery Corporation, et al., Defendants
The opinion of the court was delivered by: SAROKIN
The defendants in this criminal antitrust case move for dismissal of the indictment. The motion is denied.
On September 10, 1987, a grand jury indicted nineteen corporate and seventeen individual defendants
for violating federal antitrust law and for conspiring to defraud the United States. The court has accepted guilty pleas from, and sentenced, a number of the defendants. The remaining defendants now move to dismiss the indictment for legal insufficiency. Because defendants contend that the facts alleged in the indictment, even if proved beyond a reasonable doubt, do not charge a violation of federal law, the court must review the allegations.
On December 2, 1985, a company called S & S Corrugated was declared bankrupt under Chapter 7 of the bankruptcy code. The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York entered an order on February 12, 1986 authorizing the trustee to hold an auction of S & S Corrugated's commercial equipment. That auction, administered by the Daley-Hodking Corporation under the trustee's supervision, occurred on March 11, 1986. The bankruptcy court entered an order on March 14 confirming and approving the auction and authorizing the trustee to execute documents consummating the sale.
According to the indictment, the defendants agreed before the public auction not to bid against one another, and implemented their plan at the auction. Then, immediately after the auction, the defendants held their own private auction of the equipment they had just purchased. Once all items were resold at the private auction, the defendants divided up and shared the difference between the higher prices paid at the private auction and the lower prices paid at the public bankruptcy auction. That difference was in excess of $ 75,000.
Count One of the indictment charges a violation of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1. The defendants' plan, according to the indictment, was a "combination and conspiracy in unreasonable restraint of interstate trade and commerce." It had the effects of restraining and eliminating competition among the defendants, enabling the defendants to pay artificially low prices for equipment at the public auction, and depriving S & S Corrugated and its creditors of full compensation and the benefits of free competition.
Count Two charges a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371, which forbids conspiracies to defraud the United States. The theory of the indictment is that the defendants defrauded the United States "by impeding, impairing, obstructing and defeating the lawful government function of the Bankruptcy Court in the due administration and enforcement of the Bankruptcy Code," and by deceiving the bankruptcy court into believing that the bids submitted at the auction were products of full and fair competition. The indictment charges the commission of a large number of overt acts in furtherance of the conspiracy, including defendants' attendance at the auction, agreement not to bid competitively, agreement to rebid privately any item bought at the public auction, attendance at the private auction, bidding at the private auction, payment for items, and sharing of the second auction's profits.
Moving to dismiss the indictment in its entirety, the defendants now argue that the indictment fails to charge a violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1 or of 18 U.S.C. § 371, that the counts of the indictment are multiplicitous, and that the indictment represents an impermissibly selective prosecution. The court considers each contention in turn.
I. The Sherman Act
A. Bid Rigging as a Per Se Violation
Under 15 U.S.C. § 1, "every contract, combination in the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations, is declared to be illegal." As written, the Sherman Act is of extraordinary breadth. Indeed, it would appear to render illegal even the simplest commercial contract, since the contracting parties' agreement to trade with one another entails, for the purposes of their transaction, an implicit agreement to trade with no other. Despite the Act's breadth, the Supreme Court has upheld the Sherman Act over the objection that it is unconstitutionally vague. See Nash v. United States, 229 U.S. 373, 57 L. Ed. 1232, 33 S. Ct. 780 (1913).
The Court, however, has also narrowed the reach of the Sherman Act to restraints of trade ...

Every time I go camping, it feels like the entire house ends up packed in my trunk. Camping is supposed to be a way to "get away from it all" but in the interest of being well prepared, a lot of extra stuff ends up tagging along. The key to traveling light when spending some time in nature is to bring sturdy items that can fill more than one need.
Bosavi's multifunctional LED headlamp is exactly that kind of tool. First proposed as a Kickstarter project, the super-efficient not only helps you assemble your tent in the dark, but can also fill in as a camping lantern or a bike headlight with just a few simple modifications.
Although there are lots of different headlamps on the market, this one stands out in a few significant ways (and not just because it can morph into other types of lights). Inside you'll find a custom Lithium polymer battery that's designed to be compatible with the Solio Bolt solar charger. This battery can be recharged 500 times, and is efficient enough to provide almost 70 hours of light on low setting, yet strong enough to drive the High Brigthness LED to 110 lumens. You can also choose from red light for night vision, diffuse white light, two levels of high brightness spot light, and a strobe safety light.
Using a unique mount, the headlamp easily attaches to the handlebars of a road or mountain bike so you can take its light-giving goodness on the road. And once you've settled down for the night, the lamp's packaging is quickly transformed into an origami table lamp!
The Bosavi headlamp blew past its goal of $20,000 on Kickstarter, but is still taking pledges. Backers can get access to the lamp at the reduced rate of $79.99.

Target: President Obama,
Not a lot known about Morgellons Disease since it's a man made genetically engineered cell which combines both plant and human cell characters … The disease could affect any organ in the body and it is not curable yet and could kill. Also it's very painful when affecting the skin and very poor in healing if any at all.
FBI agents used it on me after I filed a Federal Lawsuit against the State Dept. which had took part after I was physically abused at the American Consulate in Cairo, Egypt in 2001. When I was pushed off my wheelchair to fall about 15 steps. Since then and up till this date I am being violated by the FBI agents, despite moving over three different states trying to avid them.
I am a disabled Cardiac Anesthesiologist and an Intensive Care physician. I can't get into too much details about what I was exposed to from abusive FBI agents, but after I learned that they infected me with what I thought to be a resistant fungus, and having non- healing, amputated half of both my feet currently for 3+ years.
It turned to be " Morgellons Disease" Supported by the fact that no organism was ever identified and the lesions are extremely painful and it never heals. Also it can affect any part of the human body; Very little research had been done about it because government stopped funding.
I could see but not necessarily justify using such an infection on an ISIS terrorist but certainly not on Americans. I realize my disadvantage here in America today being as an Egyptian Muslim.
Mr. President we are not guinea pigs, we are America's professionals.
Presently, The FBI chief would like to see me in a mental institute and pressuring my wife and son ( physician ) for my big mistake of daring to speak up.
I urge you to resolve this problem because after 16 agonizing years I am not gonna give up my legal fight and human rights as an American

On Wednesday, July 12, Lake County Board Chairman Aaron
Lawlor signed a proclamation declaring that severe flooding has created a
disaster in Lake County, Illinois. The proclamation was signed late Wednesday
night and sent to Governor Rauner and the Illinois Emergency Management Agency.
The Fox and Des Plaines Rivers are at or near record highs. The
river levels are expected to continue rising over the weekend as additional
water makes its way downstream from precipitation in Wisconsin, and as water
from flooded roads and yards makes its way back to the rivers. Lake County
officials are continuing to work together to assist local communities in
response to flooding.
Fox River/Chain O'Lakes
Those who live along or
near the Fox River and Chain O'Lakes should prepare for high water over the
next several days and pay attention to future forecasts. According to the IDNR,
water levels on the Fox River in New Munster, WI are projected to reach 17.4
feet. This is over two feet higher than the previous record.
The current estimate forecast shows the following peak river/lake
stages between July 16-17. Flooding of this magnitude has not been seen before.
The Lake County Stormwater Management Commission has created
inundation maps for the Chain O'Lakes, which will show a prediction of
additional structures that will be impacted. Find Out More
Des Plaines River
The Des Plaines River at Russell is currently at 11 feet, which is
approaching record flood stage of 11.1 feet. A crest of 11.4 feet is forecast
to occur this evening.
At Gurnee, the current stage is 10.98 feet and is approaching
major flood stage of 11 feet. A crest of 12 feet is forecast to occur tomorrow
At Lincolnshire, the current stage is 16.48 feet and is SLOWLY
DROPPING. A crest of 17.3 feet is still forecast to occur around mid-day on
The Red Cross opened three reception centers to assist residents
displaced by flooding yesterday. The following locations will be open today,
and Red Cross will assess the need for reception centers on a day-by-day

Cookie Time: Snickerdoodles
Snickerdoodles are a new holiday cookies for me. In fact, I don't think I've made snickerdoodles since I was about 12 years old, when my friend Kari and I made a batch. We ate more of the dough than we baked, and ended up feeling pretty unwell, and I subsequently stayed away from snickerdoodles for about eighteen years. But for some reason I started craving them lately, so I had to make them as part of my holiday cookie baking fest. And for this one I decided to break out the Betty Crocker Cookbook. The cookbook was a gift on my 18th birthday, and I don't think I've ever made anything from it before. That might have to change, because these cookies were perfect.
Snickerdoodles have such a distinctive taste, which I think is due to the cream of tartar in the dough. This recipe produced cookies that are really crispy on the outside, but soft and buttery on the inside. Be careful not to overbake them, unless you like your cookies very, very crispy.
Once again, I baked only about 4 of these, and froze the rest. I decided to freeze them after rolling them in the cinnamon and sugar. We'll see if all gets knocked off in the freezer.
Unlike the Mexican Wedding Cakes, these will expand when you bake them, so they shouldn't be this close together on the baking sheet when they go into the oven. This proximity is purely for freezing.
- 1/2 c butter, room temperature
- 1 c sugar
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/2 c. flour
- 2 T sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the butter using a hand mixer (or stand mixer) for about 30 seconds. Beat in the sugar, baking soda, and cream of tartar until it's well blended. The beat in the egg and the vanilla. Slowly mix in the flour, switching to a spoon or spatula when it comes difficult to mix. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about an hour.
Preheat the oven to 375F. Use a tablespoon or a cookie scoop to scoop out dough and roll into one inch balls. Mix together the remaining two tablespoons of sugar and the cinnamon, and roll each ball of dough in the sugar cinnamon to coat. Place the cookies about two inches apart from each other on a baking sheet, and bake for about 10 to 11 minutes, or until they are just crispy, but not browned.
These are so good that I think they've banished the memory of my snickerdoodle stomachache, and I suspect the snickerdoodle will be a much more frequent cookie in my little house. Especially since I have a bag of about 30 of them in my freezer.
Tomorrow I will be making a bouche de noel for my library's holiday party, so come back soon to see how it turns out. And go make yourself some cookies in the meantime.
kim e permalinkDecember 21, 2009 10:43 pm
I made this tonight for a holiday party and it was perfect! I love this version rather trying it with the shortening version and I am really tempted to get some vanilla bean ice cream and smoosh it between the cookies. You are the best although my belly now hurts from eating too much raw cookie dough…
Mary permalinkMay 7, 2011 4:36 pm
not sure if you still get info re:this blog – but was wondering how the snickerdoodles did frozen with the cinn-sugar coating. Was wondering if I should freeze uncoated and roll right before baking or the other way around…any insight would be helpful!

My Saturday project to trump homemade bat shit lunch plates
In the small circle of heaven where I live outside Houston, this not-so-small community is doing some serious good for the green movement: easy recycling, bike trails to EVERYWHERE, and large selections of eco-friendly/organic products/food at grocery stores. I'm surprised I don't have to shave off a granola beard every morning.
Since, being an enco-friend is so easy here, I start thinking, how can I become an eco-fiend? You've seen an eco-fiend, I'm positive… The ones who have loads of reusable shopping and produce bags, hemp T-shirts, and cry whenever a Hummer passes by (I throw dirty looks. Almost there!). The ones who load up on biodegradable garbage bags and lunch plates made from sterilized, pressed bat shit that becomes fertilizer. Yes, I aspire to be an eco-fiend. Only I want to take it one step further.
I want to make my own sterilized, pressed bat shit fertilizing lunch plates!
Wooh, let's step back for a moment and realize that that is disgusting. I mean, there are cornstarch plates to remove the ick factor. Instead I'll take one Saturday project of making reusable produce bags, please.
I could easily buy a bunch, but that is $4 for 3 medium, plus shipping, handling, and tax. Then, thinking backwards, I consider the gas it takes for the truck to transfer it (maybe more than once and overseas), packaging, and the fact I have a few bolts of linen left over from backing my curtains that are collecting dust in my closet, right next to the yarn that could easily become a drawstring.
What do you pay for that could, with a bit of work, be made from things lying around your home?
Pics and tutorial to come!

STOCK THE POND: BREC and RaceTrac Partner to Stock BREC's Fishing Facilities
EAST BATON ROUGE PARISH—BREC manages more than a dozen ponds and lakes that offer shoreline access to freshwater fishing across the parish. To increase the opportunities for area anglers to enjoy a quality fishing experience this year, BREC collaborated with convenience retailer RaceTrac to generate funds toward a fish stocking initiative.
Through Dec. 31, BREC asks RaceTrac customers at 12 selected area stores to keep their receipts and mail them to BREC, 6201 Florida Blvd. Baton Rouge, LA 70806, or bring them to any BREC facility. RaceTrac will donate a portion of every receipt's total to fund BREC fishing facilities.
BREC will stock Rainbow Trout at Burbank Soccer Complex, and Forest, Greenwood and Zachary Community Parks in late December.
Participating "Stock the Pond" RaceTrac locations include:
• O'Neal Lane: 2330 O'Neal Lane, Baton Rouge
• Harding Boulevard: 3730 Harding Blvd., Baton Rouge
• 4H Club Road: 2216 Florida Blvd., Denham Springs
• Greenwell Springs: 8940 Greenwell Springs Road, Baton Rouge
• Cedarcrest: 10738 Old Hammond Hwy., Baton Rouge
• Denham Springs: 2331 S. Range Ave., Denham Springs
• Sherwood: 3425 S. Sherwood Forest Blvd., Baton Rouge
• Gonzales: 2838 W. Highway 30, Gonzales
• Seigen Lane: 7102 Seigen Lane, Baton Rouge
• Phillips Lane: 3111 Highway 1 South, Port Allen
• Essen Lane: 4665 Essen Lane, Baton Rouge
• Dutchtown: 13474 LA Highway 73, Geismar
BREC and RaceTrac encourage you to participate in this initiative to ensure veteran and rookie anglers alike enjoy fishing within the park system.
In addition to the BREC facilities listed above, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries have stocked a number of BREC lakes and ponds with bluegill, bass, and catfish fingerlings throughout the year.

If you've watched QVC for more than a few minutes (and come on, just admit it -- you totally have), perhaps you've been amazed at the various hosts' abilities to sell a very high volume of clothes, jewelry and food items, many of which you may find tasteless or unnecessary. Why are hosts pushing buyers to purchase this stuff, and often in multiple sets?
And yet, you don't change the channel. Especially not when host David Venable is on. His program, "In The Kitchen With David," is QVC's most watched show, and you can understand why after you watch it for five minutes. He LOVES food. He does a "happy dance" when he tastes something especially good, and he has some great on-air catchphrases. If you think you're not in the market for a comfort food cookbook, Venable will likely change your mind. He could taste dog food and convince people to buy it. And Venable isn't faking it -- he really does like the products he helps to sell.
"Every product we bring to QVC and to 'In The Kitchen With David' is a great product and always a star," Venable told The Huffington Post during a recent tour and taping at QVC.
Hosts like Venable find success in part because they are fed real-time data about minute-to-minute purchases, as cookbook author Chris Chamberlain notes in an interesting essay on Food Republic:
The hosts manage to keep up an easy conversation with the guests and the audience while the segment producers stream real-time information about sales in their ear. "Phone calls spiked when you bit into that brownie. Go back to the desserts!" That feedback loop and the host's comfort with driving the process was really extraordinary.
QVC hosts are also just very good at talking about the minutiae of various products and why you should buy them. For guest hosts -- like Chris Pryme, who is on QVC about 15 times a month representing Lock & Lock -- training entails an eight-hour QVC "school" or online class. For hosts like Venable, there are weekly meetings with the planning department.
There's no script or teleprompter. Things will go wrong -- callers will be screened but prank ones will still occasionally get through. It's up to the host to roll with the punches, and keep suggesting why you need that Temp-tations set in yet another pattern.
Through it all, the hosts and staffers are extremely nice -- and not just to the media. Nice enough that this author started thinking that maybe QVC is actually an amazing place, not a bizarre reality where overly sweet cookies are sold as if they are a quality or unique product.
While QVC may not feature a ton of cutting-edge kitchen tools or the hot cookbooks du jour, it is tuned in to overall home cooking trends.
"I think America is looking for food that is quick, accessible, wonderful, filling and good for their families," Venable said. Whether or not you think QVC fulfills that mission, Venable at least succeeds at making you feel like he's on your side.
"Just like our viewers at home, I'm a home cook," he said. A home cook that is really, ridiculously excited about his job.
And on those days where you just need to tune out for a bit, Venable is there for you, smiling up a storm and telling you he understands your kitchen woes. Even if his ultimate goal is to get you to buy something.

This is what I enjoyed during the Super Bowl. They're both really good. The Lienenkugel isn't really like an imported Doppelbock, but it's good. I've never had a bad Leine. The Elysian is fantastic. Which brings me to the point.
Anheuser-Bush ran an anti craft beer commercial last night. They referred ro Budweiser as being brewed the hard way, and craft beer as something that needed to be fussed over. It was a blatant attempt to compare craft beer to those fussy drinks with umbrellas. If they'd have said craft beer is for sissies, it couldn't have been any worse.
To tell the truth, I like those tiki hut drinks with umbrellas. I'm very confident in my masculinity, and I find the whole put-down juvenile.
Here's a little secret. Craft beer has been kicking Budweiser's ass for the last few years. AB have lost a significant market share, while craft beer has gained fans.
Here's a bigger secret. Anheuser-Bush has been buying up any craft brewery that does too well. They bought Goose Island, and recently 10-Barrel. It owns significant shares of Widmer Brothers and Red Hook. AB has its own fake craft beers, like Shock Top.
I just learned that AB purchased Elysian Brewing. This is one of my favorite breweries. They make a little of everything, and I don't like some of their products. Every beer that fits in my flavor preference has been outstanding. I'm sure for those who like India Pale Ales, the Elysian product is awesome. Elysian also makes one of my favorite seasonal pumpkin beers, Night Owl.
I wonder how long it will take to have the Elysian brewery making Shocktop, or even Bud Light.
This all happened before. In the last century it involved auto manufacturers. If someone got too popular the big American auto makers bought them out. The marques for DeSoto, Packard, and Studebaker still exist – in a vault somewhere. It seems like Oldsmobile got mothballed a few years ago.
The auto industry started off by making those cars under new management. One engine went into all the cars, and only the bodies and trims were different. It isn't hard to imagine a day when flavored Budweiser gets put into bottles as the product of the fine breweries AB absorbed. The final step will be mothballing the brand.

Beautiful moon so bright, all alone at night.
Do you get scared? Or are you as brave as knights?
Ever feel lonely up there, or bored? Or do you enjoy the sight?
When it's time for you to leave, do you cry? Or at least whisper goodbye?
Do you miss us? Think about us? Or wonder if we miss you?
Do you worry about us? Or wonder what we do?
Does it not frighten you to leave us, under the rays of someone new?
Does it matter what they might do?
I speak for myself when I say this, dear moon: I love when it's just me and you.

You will never find a change in the way of Allah. (Surah al-Ahzab, 33: 62)
In our science texts we learn about Bohr's atomic model the model that has been proposed since grade school. However the model is flawed in it's very basic sense. The model states that positive protons and neutral neutrons take up the center of the atom with negative electrons circling the atom at specified valence shells. Protons are positive and electrons are negative. First getting straight into magnetic theory the atoms should collapse in on themselves being that positive and negative attract. If we say that it is not magnetic but a "charge" then it would short out in certain conditions and conduct electricity and it would not remain in it's state as an atom once shorted out. Then there is the theory of mass and magnetic fields which I feel makes more sense, although still not thoroughly understood.
The Mass of the Atom is the Proton planet and the Electrons are the "moons" of the atom just like earth. Neutrons would be the strength of the magnetic pull extending from the Mass of the Proton. Loss of magnetic field would explain electron loss more easily than the convoluted Bohr's atomic model. Think of atoms as planets. Jupiter has 63 moons of which 4 are prominent. These prominent moons are closest to Jupiter and have their orbits. Outside of that are many other moons all of different sizes which also orbit Jupiter. The same can be expressed in understanding atoms. Atoms are the largest mass of a particular element surrounding that element are different electrons of varying sizes. The sizes of the electron moons keep smaller electron moons within the orbit of the main Proton planet. The total of which Proton Planet and Electron moons make up the whole of the atom more or less. The field holding the Electron moons can be altered and varied whereby smaller Electron moons can become dislodged from their Proton planet. Many Proton planets make up Elemental systems which for the most part appear the same when made very dense.
In the case of Molecules there are small Proton planets which are around the same size as larger atoms Electron moons and when brought together bind in the field of Electron moons of the larger Proton planet. This would be true if our planet were suddenly or slowly thrust into Jupiters Neutron gravitational pull. We would no longer orbit the sun we would orbit Jupiter since it is larger and we would become two moons of Jupiter our planet and our moon. To me that makes a whole lot more sense than reinventing the wheel with the current theory of atoms that we have now. Look at this also Protons are more planetary than Bohr's model suggests, when Otto Hahn split the uranium atom and wound up with elements with weights between 30 and 60 there was no zinc or tin as a result what he had was a piece of uranium that was destroyed into two parts. Further if these physicists are to be believed then it would also lead to more credence that Protons are a solid mass. Just thinking outside of the box.

The Time Has Come
The time has come for me to close this section of my life. My Blog was and is very personal to me. I stopped blogging because I felt that it put a lot of energy into the universe that was manifesting in my life and I wanted to put an end to it. So I stopped Blogging. I don't know if I will pick it up again. I am keeping a diary but I don't know if I will ever blog again. I will let you vote if you want me to keep it open or let it take a dirt nap. Salaams

I couldn't sleep
I couldn't sleep so I decided to read Quran. My goal is to read the whole Quran while I am here at this school. I believe that it is very possible. Today I read:
فَمَا آمَنَ لِمُوسَىٰ إِلَّا ذُرِّيَّةٌ مِّن قَوْمِهِ عَلَىٰ خَوْفٍ مِّن فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَئِهِمْ أَن يَفْتِنَهُمْۚ وَإِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ لَعَالٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الْمُسْرِفِينَ
But no one believed Moses, except [some] offspring [i.e., youths] among his people,for fear of Pharaoh and his establishment that they would persecute them. And indeed, Pharaoh was haughty within the land, and indeed, he was of the transgressors
Out of Yunus 10:83 and I found that this is primarily situational belief. The Jews were in a desperate state with the persecution of Firaun and so when Musa came with his message it was any relief or possibility of relief from the situation that decided their shift of faith. However as soon as the situation was relieved from them they swiftly reverted back to their previous belief. That which was mainly glorifying and idolizing the Pharonic culture and lifestyle. They were deluded by his wealth and power. His religion and attitude so even though they were free the culture of their religion was manifest. So that had escaped into the prison of their minds.Then what began to come to me was there are several instances in the Quran where situational belief is caused and then explained. Such as Yusef in the Jail and Yunus in the whale and ships out at sea and the mountain being raised over the Jews. All situational belief foundations.
The reality is however that situational belief has no foundation in real faith. It can only serve to purify faith, but it is not useful to the believer if once the situation passes the faith has not developed those things that will sustain the connection to Allah. One must strive to maintain a connection to Allah regardless of what situations are presented to him. I thought this was something that was worth thinking about and sharing.

I am super excited to kickoff this interview series highlighting girl bosses all over the world. Women entrepreneurs are popping up daily and it's amazing so many people are stepping out and making their dreams a reality. With this Emmelie De La Cruz interview, I wanted to feature someone who saw a need for change and turned it into a business. Being a boss is always about making things happen your way and with your vision and our #girlboss featured today,Emmelie De La Cruz is doing just that.
1) Tell us a little about yourself.
I am Emmelie De La Cruz, an Afro-Latina raised in the South Bronx, living in Atlanta. In short, I'm what Cardi B would be like if she went to college. I am on a mission to help other millennial women hack this thing called: adulting. While some of my friends would say that I'm a go-getter, I also adore Keeping up with the Kardashians, Bar Rescue, and Love and Hip Hop. Who doesn't have a few hours to spare watching trash TV, right?
2) What is your occupation?
I am a digital marketing manager for a startup and also make a few extra coins through my book Make Yourself Marketable and lifestyle blog.
3) Describe your personal style?
I'm usually the girl that's overdressed, but go back and forth between homeless chic and Beyonce. My personal style is all about combining classic silhouettes with a hint of drama.
4) Give us a run down on the history behind your business/blog and how it came about?
After working in the career center and graduating with 3 job offers, I started sharing job searching and personal branding advice on my blog. While my peers were working non-paid internships at the tail end of the recession, I had a full-time job with amazing benefits. Instead of texting everyone the same advice over and over again, I used my online platform to share the knowledge. Soon after, opportunities started to find me via my online channels and I started to charge for branding and design services.
After 5 years doing that, I decided that I just wanted to focus on creating content and doing consultations, not service packages. I let got of The Branding Muse brand and created the brand that you see today at emmeliedelacruz.com.
5) What are your long term and short-term goals for your brand?
Long-term, I want to become the Kaplan of personal branding, I used to teach a three-week personal branding class that I want to expand and teach worldwide. Short-term, I want to launch an ecosystem of products, services, and signature events like the Creativity Kickbackto help newbie bloggers and side-hustlers get their ideas out of their head and into fruition.
6) What are the top three things you wish you would have known when you first started your entrepreneur journey?
- You don't need to separate your business and personal brand to thrive.
- Working smart is much more important than working hard.
- Exchanging time for money, with services for example, isn't the only way to build an online business.
7) What and who influences you when creating content for your site?
My readers – and frankly that's who needs to influence everybody. If you aren't creating content for your readers, what are you doing it for? That's why so many bloggers fail, because they treat their sites like an online diary, instead of adding value to their audience.
In terms of execution however, I do admire personal brands like Mattieologie, Olori Swank and Brit + Co.
8) Being a #girlboss is hard work and it is not for the faint at heart, what is your one piece of advice to all aspiring girl bosses?
Be unapologetic about who you are. People yearn for a human, authentic connection, and at the end of the day, your authenticity will get you farther than polished perfection ever could.
9) What are your go to business resources or apps?
I can go on forever and have written multiple blog posts about it, but here are my all-time favorites.
Fiverr: for when you can't afford a team or freelancers
WordSwag + Canva: To make awesome images
Coschedule: to save you hours on social media promotion and scheduling
10) You're a busy bee, how do you keep sane and balance both your personal life plus entrepreneurial life?
Don't let the pressure of purpose hold you hostage.
Self-care, a day off, a date with bae, a missed deadline – do what you need to do to keep your sanity and your edges. The internet always talks about consistency and glamorizes being busy. Don't fall for it.
11) I'm sure being an entrepreneur is not a typical 9 to 5 job. Give us a quick run down on how your days usually go.
I have dabbled in full-time entrepreneurship multiple times throughout my career, but have found that I'm most successful when I work full-time and my business is a side hustle. In order to be able to do both, I had to come up with a routine and a system that works for me. I try to work only when I'm inspired and in the right mental place. An exhausted mind will never be as productive as a creative one.
I usually work about 2 hours each night and a full-day on the weekends.
12) What has been your most favorite experience to date as a business owner/blogger? What has been your least?
My favorite experience has been being a Pantene spokesperson for Proctor & Gamble's Living Fabulosa program. It was the first time I walked a carpet and was in Getty Images and let me tell you, I know I would be so good at being a celebrity. My favorite accomplishment was being named one of the Top Career Websites by Forbes just one year after launching my blog.
Least favorite experience: dealing with clients. No shade to the amazing people I worked with over the years, but the time and energy it takes to deliver someone's vision takes a lot out of you. That's why I created my book. I wanted to find a way to still be able to help people and walk them through the process of building a brand, but not have to dedicate weeks of time.
13) What do you have planned for the future of the Emmelie De La Cruz brand?
There are a ton of things coming down the pipeline, but my hope is that my future continues to allow me to give millennial women the tools they need to build a brand and a life they don't need to escape from.
Any Closing Remarks you would like to share?
:: insert shameless plug unrecognizable gang signs here:: Shout out to the South Bronx, my family and friends for making me fearless. Follow me on Instagram, Periscope and Twitter @EmmelieDeLaCruz.
But on a serious note, remember that the longer it takes you to start, the longer it will take you to succeed. Leave the excuses at the door and start to profit on purpose.
Thank you Emmelie De La Cruz for sharing your story and advice to budding entrepreneurs.
Do you know someone killing the entrepreneur movement and giving the name #girlboss a new meaning? Send me an email on who they are and why they should be featured. email@example.com

I know you aren't going to believe this but I was in the shower this morning I thought, "Isn't Sarah's Birthday in December? I need to find out so I don't forget." Boo on me. But Happy Birthday! I love the chair- when I saw the first picture I thought it was Amish. I hope you guys have a good Christmas and I will be praying for you to at least feel good during the Holidays. You poor thing!

You're birthday sounds fun (aside from the not keeping meals down part!) You've got me singing that Old Navy commercial now with the boot comment!

Tag Heuer Watches To Reconsider Relationship With Tiger Woods
I recently mentioned that replica Tag Heuer affirmed its commitment to Tiger Woods as a brand ambassador. They publicly stated that they would stick by the super star as a face of the brand despite and alleged transgressions. It now looks like they might have altered their position. This is the second time this month that Tag Heuer Watch has had to "restate" an earlier announcement. The first was in regard to the origin on their new Caliber 1888 movement.
Now tag heuer formula seems to suggest that Tiger Woods may not be in their short term future goals.We have already seen Tag Heuer pull Tiger Wood based ads, but that makes sense in the immediate given the negative publicity of Tiger's current extramarital activities. Now it looks like tag aquaracer is seriously considering their future with the golf superstar. Woods is his announcement to leave the professional world of golf for some indeterminable amount of time. Several months from now when Tiger Woods hasn't been in a golf tournament in months, he will just be another rich guy in a Nike baseball cap (unless they pull out too). tag carrera picture is that because Tiger Woods is exiting the world of golf for a while, he is severely jeopardizing his main income stream - endorsements.

Adding an excerpt from the agent.log showing the errors being logged - notice the rapid frequency with which these are logged.
Comment 2 Lukas Krejci 2012-02-16 18:01:58 EST
It seems to me that this might be caused by the JVM resource under a Tomcat resource that is reported down. The tomcat instance runs as the same user as the agent and was started using bin/startup.sh.
Comment 3 Lukas Krejci 2012-02-16 18:52:01 EST
Additional info... This only happens during the detailed discovery so it's not that bad as I originally thought because the CPU intensiveness of detailed discovery is a known problem. But still. What do we need 576 threads for?
Comment 4 Charles Crouch 2012-02-17 11:41:03 EST
We need to investigate what is going on here.

This is caused by ResourceContext.getNativeProcess() method that tries to run discovery if the process info is not available - this is correct behavior because this way we are able to transparently span process restarts but poor concurrency handling in this method is causing it to run the discovery many more times than necessary (each such discovery spawning a thread on its own). Note also that this excessive discovery invocation was introduced in May 2011 by fix to the bug 702691 & bug 700461. This is therefore present in both RHQ4 and RHQ3 codebases.
Comment 6 Lukas Krejci 2012-02-20 15:37:50 EST
In addition to non-optimal concurrency handling, the potential discovery happening inside getNativeProcess() would get called with improperly configured discovery context. This bad discovery context was the actual cause of the super-high number of threads created. The discovery context passed to the discovery method in the getNativeProcess() would pass the resource context of the current resource instead of the resource context of the parent resource. The EmbeddedJMXServerDiscoveryComponent then tried to called discoveryContext.getParentResourceContext().getNativeProcess(). This would call the getNativeProcess of the very same resource context as before. That would again spawn another discovery which would again call the getNativeProcess() on the very same resource context instead of the parent as it should, etc, ad infinitum. The chain gets only broken by the interruption of these threads due to their timeout.

Commit 21ce96a implements the minimal changes needed to get rid of the high number of threads being created. Commit 7533cbc further optimizes the amount of needed discoveries (i.e. the number of threads and more importantly the amount of work). master http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=rhq/rhq.git;a=commitdiff;h=7533cbccc0d91f2307b6ab858d119a335d42d1ed Author: Lukas Krejci <email@example.com> Date: Tue Feb 21 13:43:19 2012 +0100 [BZ 794489] - Minimize the number of executed discoveries by sharing the discovery results among sibling resources during getNativeProcess() call. master http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=rhq/rhq.git;a=commitdiff;h=21ce96ac0da01f32f3c57acec608523176db2ceb Author: Lukas Krejci <firstname.lastname@example.com> Date: Tue Feb 21 13:23:47 2012 +0100 [BZ 794489] - make sure to use the parent resource context when creating the discovery context that should rediscover the same resource as the resource context represents.
Comment 8 Lukas Krejci 2012-02-21 08:00:02 EST
note also that the above fix not only reduces the number of threads to a bearable number but also actually makes the getNativeProcess() work correctly. The reason why this wasn't discovered before is because the testing on bug 702691 was done using the Apache plugin which wasn't affected by that error. Tomcat on the other hand is. Steps to test: 1) Inventory a tomcat instance into RHQ 2) Stop the tomcat instance 3) run discovery -f on the corresponding agent The number of threads shouldn't raise drastically during the detailed discovery.
Comment 9 Lukas Krejci 2012-02-21 10:53:58 EST
This commit fixes the unit tests that broke due to the changed signature of ResourceContext constructor. This should have been part of the commit 21ce96ac0da01f32f3c57acec608523176db2ceb and should be cherry-picked over with it to any other branch if need be. master http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=rhq/rhq.git;a=commitdiff;h=48262b1ffcbfc2b4e1e2c80bd0858ca54942aae4 Author: Lukas Krejci <firstname.lastname@example.com> Date: Tue Feb 21 16:51:15 2012 +0100 [BZ 794489] - Fixing the unit tests to work with the changed signature of ResourceContext constructor.

Added unit tests to check retrieval of native process info.
Comment 12 Lukas Krejci 2012-03-16 12:44:30 EDT
To test, do the following: 1) Inventory a Tomcat resource 2) Run full discovery 3) Check that the thread count of the RHQ agent process doesn't increase drastically during the discovery 4) Stop the tomcat process 5) Run full discovery again 6) Check the thread count during the discovery - no big increase (in hundreds) should occur.
Comment 13 Heiko W. Rupp 2013-09-01 06:09:30 EDT
Bulk closing of items that are on_qa and in old RHQ releases, which are out for a long time and where the issue has not been re-opened since.

It was November 4th, 2008 and Barack Obama was elected president of the United States. The whole world seemed to be celebrating. Black parents and grandparents cried because this meant the struggle was over. There would be no more racism. A black man had reached the highest position in America. The words we heard growing up, "A black man could never become President," were now a distant memory. From now on, Black men would be treated equally and with respect. But you all know how the story goes. Trayvon Martin. Eric Garner. Michael Brown. Philando Castile. Alton Sterling. Akai Gurley and countless others. So the struggle continues.
It is now 2017, and many of us feel like Obama was our only hope especially for African Americans. Is our hope and faith in this country, leaving with Obama? Many Americans are making plans to leave the U.S. It seems as if our nation is more divided than ever. Half of the country has faith that the president elect will lead America in the right direction. While the other half of the country is enraged because they believed their candidate Hillary Clinton had the experience and ability to become an excellent president. Regardless if our candidate won the election, we should realize that we can't put all of our hope and faith in one human being. Humans are flawed. Humans disappoint, break promises and change their views. But we should put our hope in someone whose the same yesterday, today and forever. Hebrews 13:8. Someone who never changes. Someone who holds the future. Someone who always wants what's best for us. His name is JESUS! Regardless of what you may believe, it's only best that we put our faith and hope in something much bigger than ourselves.
Do you agree?

People were awaiting the arrival of the float carrying the presidential candidates who denounced the faulty elections.
People patiently waited for the "festivities" to begin!
They cheered the arrival of the "presidential float". On this float were large speakers. The person speaking on the microphone could easily be heard by the crowd. People waved their red cards in the air.
This person held a sign translated into english as "Preval is a curse. Preval equals Verrettes, Gonaives (referring to the damaging floods that hit those regions).

After the call I wasn't at all prepared for last week I threw myself into my work, and getting to work on my next steps. After my gynecologist and her being less than helpful it was time to get on board with a fertility center.
I spent my extra time at school on Tuesday making calls and inquiring about appointments, insurance coverage, and figuring out the paperwork we needed to complete to go to the fertility center in the town where I work.
I can give praise that they had an opening this coming Friday. I am so thankful that we were able to get in so fast and ask God's ability to help us onto the speedy(ier) road to expanding our family. I am also praising that this appointment falls during spring break so I don't have to take any time off from school and my husband only has to take a half day from work.
It is my prayer that the doctor's could be knowledgeable and understanding of our needs. It is my prayer that they would order some tests so that we could have some answers about the year we have spent childless. Most importantly I give praise that God created medicine and smart people that can help with these problems so that couples can get help to have the child they pray so desperately for.
We have a plan, we have a plan for the type of tests we feel we need and for the plan that we would like the doctors to carry out. We pray that our plan would also be God's plan for us. We pray that this plan would be revealed so we don't have to wonder about it any longer.
Later on I will post what I have done today to occupy my busy mind!

Well, we're back in Omaha. Isaiah's liver numbers have never really come back down with all the at home interventions we could do. So a weekend full of labs, measuring outputs, and hospital behavior await. We just got up here and got checked in, so it's been a long day.
More updates to come, as well as possible Liver/Small bowel biopsy and x-ray's. Stay tuned.
We really hoped to be home for the fund raiser next weekend and hopefully we still will be. Isaiah doesn't have much luck, though as he's been in the hospital each time we've tried to do something . . .

Railways goes corporate, seeks to end Rs 30,000-cr social subsidy
The strategy of a more corporate way of functioning is based on a report by a panel chaired by Bibek Debroy, a member of the NITI Aayog, in 2015 (Photo: Shutterstock)
To move to a more corporate mode of functioning, the Indian Railways (IR) is looking for ways to do away with its social sector subsidies of about Rs 30,000 crore a year.

According to sources, it is in talks with two financial institutes to conduct a study on this.
The strategy of a more corporate way of functioning is based on a report by a panel chaired by Bibek Debroy, a member of the NITI Aayog, in 2015. One round of discussion has happened between the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy (NIPFP) and IR officials on how to proceed.
"We are in talks with two financial institutes, regarding a study on ways to reduce or do away with the subsidies. If the railways is a commercial entity, social obligation should not be a baggage for it," said an official source.
Late last year, Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu had written to his finance counterpart that social sector subsidies should be borne by the ministries concerned. IR recovers only 57 per cent on the cost of passenger services; on suburban rail, around 40 per cent.
"Once the reports are submitted, we will approach the finance ministry. The idea is, if we are giving a subsidy to, say, a defence person, it should be absorbed by the ministry concerned," said the official.
This comes after the central government merged the railway Budget with the General Budget, doing away with the 92-year-old tradition. The Debroy panel had recommended this, as a way of easier segregation of the railways' social responsibility from its operational finances. Another item on Prabhu's agenda is the government's clearance to his proposal for a sector regulator, a Rail Development Authority. This entity is to decide on rates and equitable treatment for stakeholder investment in the railways, setting efficiency and performance standards, and dissemination of information.
This comes as IR posted its worst operating ratio (money spent to earn every Rs 100) in 16 years, at 96.9 in 2016-17. This was mainly due to the social burden and implementation of the pay commission report. It has already appointed a foreign consultant to come up with a performance index other than the operating ratio.
"Despite all this, our loading has increased from 1,104 million tonne in 2015-16 to 1,109 mt in 2016-17. We are also giving extra focus on non-fare revenue. The major concern for us is the increasing subsidy burden, while the pay commission impact will also be there in 2017-18, of about Rs 15,000 crore," said another official.
Key Social Service Obligations
Non-Suburban Passenger Services — Concessions to various categories of passengers. Senior citizens, Students, Recipients of gallantry awards; National Sports awards; Participants of National and State sports tournaments; Shram awardees; War widows; Patients suffering from cancer, TB, other serious diseases; Handicapped persons; Press correspondents; Concessions to military personnel North East etc.Sub-urban Passenger services — Fares of various classes of tickets lower than system costs, Season Ticket Concessions to sub urban passengers Goods Services — Carriage of essential commodities at concessional rates, Concessions to Postal traffic, military traffic, registered newspapers & magazines, North East etcUneconomic branch lines — Continued operations of uneconomic branch lines

Wants Demetrious Johnson Fight
… After KO'ing Dillashaw
Cody Garbrandt says Demetrious Johnson better ice up … 'cause he's coming for the UFC legend right after he smashes through T.J. Dillashaw.
Cody and TJ are set to square off at UFC 213 in July — it will be Cody's first fight since winning the UFC bantamweight championship back in December. The two hate each other's guts and are coaching opposite each other on "The Ultimate Fighter 25" which premiers tonight on FS1.
But after they square off in the Octagon, Cody tells TMZ Sports he wants Mighty Mouse — and says meeting DJ at the 125 pounds won't be a problem.
And who would be the favorite in that fight? Cody's got some thoughts on that.

The New York Times and USA Today bestselling Marked Men series continues with this sizzling, sexy story of love, heartbreak, fate, and second chances.
After the only girl he ever loved told him that he would never be enough, Rowdy St. James knocked the Texas dust off his boots and set out to live up to his nickname. A good ol' boy looking for good times and good friends, Rowdy refuses to take anything too seriously, especially when it comes to the opposite sex. Burned by love once, he isn't going to let himself trust a woman again. But that's before his new co-worker arrives, a ghost from the past who's suddenly making him question every lesson he ever learned.
Salem Cruz grew up in house with too many rules and too little fun—a world of unhappiness she couldn't wait to forget. But one nice thing from childhood has stayed with her; the memory of the sweet, blue-eyed boy next door who'd been head over heels in love with her little sister.
Now, fate and an old friend have brought her and Rowdy together, and Salem is determined to show him that once upon a time he picked the wrong sister. A mission that is working perfectly—until the one person that ties them together appears, threatening to tear them apart for good.
To say I am a huge fan of the Marked Man Series would be an understatement. I am positively in love with all the inked men and heroines of the series, especially Rule Archer. Rowdy has appeared in the previous books and there have been hints about his broken past. There was so much anticipation about what truly happened between he and the two Texas sisters. I could not wait to delve into his and Salem's story.
"I never forgot you, Rowdy. I always took you with me wherever I ended up."
As with all the previous books in this series, the story is told via dual POVs of Rowdy and Salem. This is hands down my favorite way to read and Jay does an amazing job with both characters. Because these two share a past, it is pertinent to see what each is truly thinking and feeling. Despite the lack of numerous flashbacks, I really felt their past connection to each other. Salem is amazing! I loved her sauciness but she also possessed a quite vulnerability. Of course, this Texas boy totally stole my heart. He is reserved in so many ways but sexy is so many others. I loved finally learning about his past and there are quite a few new surprises to balance it all out.
"Already been in your rearview once, Salem. I have no intention of ending up there again."
This book is packed with tons of emotions, but it is also filled with scorching hotness. Salem and Rowdy have an amazing physical chemistry. Those piercings; let's just say I did several Google searches. This may even be the sexist book of the series. I appreciate that Jay constantly changes things up with each couple to keep things new and fresh for the reader. I have loved each book in this series, but Rowdy is definitely my favorite since Rule! These characters continue to develop and Jay has created this amazing world.
There is a lot of interaction with previous Marked Men characters. It is one of the reasons I love this series; none of the couples ever leave the reader. Rule and Shaw fans will be giddy with excitement too! While Rowdy is considered a standalone, you do not want to miss the previous books in this series. I will be waiting impatiently for Asa's book in spring of 2015. Jay gives us plenty of teasing for what is going to a phenomenal story of the criminal and the cop.
WHEN I PUT THE key he had given me in the door to his apartment it felt like the end of a long journey. Really it was only a little over twelve hours and I had stopped to nap once along the way, but it still felt like too long since I had seen his face or been able to touch all that toned and tattooed skin. Jimbo greeted me at the door when I pushed it open. His tongue lolled out of his mouth and he jumped up and put his paws on my legs. He was going to be huge when he finally grew into his fuzzy body and I was overwhelmed at how happy I was to see him. I dropped to my knees and rubbed my face in his neck as he licked me all over my face. I was obviously missed and I had to say it was just one more reason I knew I was finally where I was supposed to be. It was late, so the apartment was dark.
I checked the dog's food and water, trying to be quiet in case Rowdy was already asleep. I was winding my way toward his bedroom when a haphazardly discarded sketch pad lying on the couch caught my eye in the dim light. I paused for a minute to pick it up and felt my heart stop and then start to race as I flipped through the first few pages. There were a couple of drawings that were obviously for clients, tattoos that hadn't made it from paper to skin yet, but most of the pristine white pages were covered with images wearing my face. There was mermaid me, and naughty- sailor- girl me. There was sassy Indian girl me with long Pocahontas braids and there was sexy devil me standing next to angelic me. There were dozens of them all in different shapes and sizes, but every single image was undoubtedly modeled after my distinct look. I wasn't sure if he had drawn them all over this last week while I had been gone or over the months we had been chasing each other in circles.
Either way it made my heart swell and the full certainty that I was it for him settle deep inside my bones. I set the pad down and tiptoed through the hall. Jimbo took one look at where I was going and huffed out a disgusted- sounding snort. The poor guy had learned early on that he wanted no part of what happened between his humans when they were together in the bedroom. The light was off and Rowdy was sprawled on his stomach across the covers. His blond hair was sticking up every- where and he hand one arm bent up under his head. The only thing that could have made the sight better would have been if he hadn't bothered with the black boxers before crashing out.
Even with them obscuring the view, I couldn't complain. I let out a breathless sigh and crept closer so that I could lean over and touch my lips to that anchor on the side of his neck. I felt his pulse leap and tasted the salt on his skin as he murmured sleepily and rolled over onto his back. Those infinitely blue eyes glowed at me in the dark as a grin pulled up the corner of his mouth.

This polish is from Teeez! and this is number 02, Cool, it's a light babyblue colour. I used the Gosh Fix base coat which is especially made for holographic polishes. I've never used this polish without the fix base coat, so I don't really know how application is without. The base coat made application flawless. I used 3 effortless coats of holographic goodness. After that I topped it off with INM out the door topcoat. The topcoat didn't dull the holo-effect in my opinion.
My camera even freaked out with the pictures in direct sunlight, so it couldn't quite capture the full holographic effect. So without further a do, here are the pictures:

Since time immemorial, the Maharashtra cricket team has been the poorer cousin of the Bombay cricketers. They had some really good players like Surendra Bhave, Shantanu Sugwekar and Santosh Jedhe who really stood an excellent chance of breaking into the Indian ranks, but for reasons unknown just found themselves (and their efforts ignored). Bhave and Sugwekar were a deadly batting combination, while Jedhe was spoken of very highly as an all-rounder - something the Indian team desperately needed in the early and mid-90s. In more recent times, I think Iqbal Siddiqui made a quick cameo role in the 2001-02 series when England visited India.
It was heartening to read two articles that showed that Maharashtra cricket is doing fairly well. The first one which caught my eye stated that Chandrakant Pandit had been appointed the coach of the Maharashtra Ranji team, and offered reasons on why he quit the Mumbai team. I was surprised, as I'd read somewhere that the Maharashtra Cricket Association had appointed an Aussie Darren Holder as a "high-performance" coach. The Mah. association sure took a bold step in this regard, because all said and done, the idea of a foreigner as a coach has never been digestable to the common man. Last year Punjab took a bold step by calling in the ex-Pakistani coach Intikhab Alam to coach their Ranji team, and it worked wonders with Punjab reaching the Ranji finals this year! One might say that too many cooks spoil the broth, but I do hope Chandu and Holder get along well and lift Maharashtra to success.
The other article was a slight disappointment, considering the fact that Tendulkar was not going to play the Zimbabwe Test series; but had good signs in that Dheeraj Jadhav was going to be replacing him. I have only heard/read of Jadhav's talents and it should be a huge boost to Maharashtra cricket if he does indeed get a chance and he does well. Although some folks might disagree, I think Tendulkar did the sensible thing by sitting out the Zimbabwe tour. I wish Tendulkar had taken things a bit easy and given his elbow a little time to rest instead of playing through the Pakistan series.
PS: I'm glad the press isnt too euphoric over the Indian victory over Zimbabwe!
