: I feel truly honoured to be a part of this amazing cast that's full of lovely and aspiring people. Everyone has been extremely supportive with helping me settle into the hectic world of soap.
: I am absolutely thrilled to be joining the cast of Hollyoaks and to finally be here working on set. I found out I got the role in early February so it has been a long wait, which seemed twice as long as I wasn't allowed to tell anyone.
: Exciting times! It feels like we're a real family, because we get on so well and understand each other, which just makes this journey a hundred times more fun.
: It's been such a great family to come into as Harvey, Krupa and Haiesha have already set the bar so high in terms of what they all bring to the show, both individually with their characters and collectively as a family. It is due to what they have set up for the Maaliks that has allowed Ijaz and myself to integrate into the family so well. The dynamics in the Maalik family between everyone is so different and interesting - the writers have really hit the nail on the head with the Maaliks. The best part is that we all get on so well and have a great laugh when we are filming together – we are like a real family!
: For me it has to be the very first day on set, because it was the most nerve-racking yet the most exciting day ever! I was so nervous and apprehensive about getting in front of the camera, but the experience was just fantastic.
: There have been so many to choose from, so it's hard to pick one, but I think nothing will be quite as crazy as my first day on set. Having watched the show myself, it really was a rather surreal moment being on set and filming my first few scenes.
: Well, Sami arrives with a huge secret and he has come back for payback from a certain someone! I don't want to give too much away, so you guys will have to tune in to see what this secret is.
: I would personally like to work with other young characters and experiment the chemistry between Imran and those his age. This is because Imran is a boy who has quite an introvert personality around those he doesn't know. I'm just excited to discover whether he creates bonds with those outside the family.
: There really are so many great actors on this show that it would be unfair to pick one. My mission is to work with every single cast member in the show!
: I personally would love to explore a storyline where Imran experiences some sort of betrayal which triggers his negative side - something Imran rarely shows due to his light-hearted personality. I think that would be quite intense and exciting for the audience to watch.
: Something dark and gritty that I could really play with as an actor and sink my teeth into.
: Well, I can say that there's a lot of nostalgia involved which leads to a whole bunch of things getting unravelled!
: Well, Sami is here for revenge so it will be interesting to see how much he succeeds in that. He is also someone that has an eye for the ladies and prefers not be tied down in a relationship. However could a certain someone change that?

"The Belly Fat Cure," by Jorge Cruise, is a low-carb diet that allows you to eat prepackaged and fast foods that are often discouraged on other low-carb diets. Cruise recommends his "15/6" rule, which means you limit your sugar intake to 15 g and your carbohydrate intake to six servings of 5 to 20 g.
Prepackaged Foods
Find your nutrition label and check the serving size. This is important because eating a different portion size can dramatically affect the number of carbohydrates you consume, which will affect your weight loss, according to Cruise.
Find the total carbohydrate listing on the nutrition label -- it is the fourth major nutrient listing. If it is under 20 g per serving, consider the package serving size as one Belly Fat Cure serving. If it is 40 g per serving, consider this portion as two Belly Fat Cure servings, cut the serving in half or choose a food item with fewer grams of carbohydrate.
Find the dietary fiber listing just below the total carbohydrate listing on the nutrition label. Fiber is an indigestible carbohydrate that helps your body move food through your intestines. Tally up your fiber intake throughout the day, shooting for 25 g each day, recommends Cruise.
Fast Food
Create a spreadsheet list of your favorite fast food items. Make columns for serving sizes, carbs and fiber.
Look up the values for each food in the "Belly Fat Cure" or on the websites for each fast food chain. Cruise's book offers lists of many fast food items with the bread removed.
Calculate Belly Fat serving sizes by adjusting each portion to come to no more than 20 g of carbohydrate.
Video of the Day
Unlabeled Foods
Make a spreadsheet list of your favorite grocery foods that do not come with a nutrition label, such as fresh meat, vegetables and fruit. Make columns for serving sizes, carbs and fiber.
Look up the values for each food in the "Belly Fat Cure," a calorie guide book or on the USDA Nutrition site, which lists calories, carbohydrates, and fiber content for many foods. Look up your favorite foods and plug in the details on your spreadsheet.
Calculate Belly Fat Cure serving sizes by adjusting each portion to come to no more than 20 g of carbohydrate.
Look for vegetables and fruits that are high in fiber, but low in carbohydrate like avocados and blackberries, recommends Cruise.
Some other low-carb plans advise subtracting the fiber grams from the total carbohydrate grams to come to a net carb number. Do not subtract fiber grams on the Belly Fat Cure plan, says Cruise.
Check with your doctor before beginning any new diet.

365 things to do with kids
Just before leaving for Sweden I rushed out to buy this book because of the not so promising weather reports at that time. I feared three weeks of rain and thought I might be a little prepared. The weather turned out much better though, and we didn't need extra inspiration for activities - the house and the nature around it was enough in itself.
Nevertheless, I want to post about the book. It's so full of nice little projects you can do with or without the kids, and it provides an immediate urge to create. Besides new and original inspiration the book also contains more classic and wellknown activities (saltdough, chestnut animals etc.) that serves as refreshed reminders. I already have a list of little projects I want to do with Frida Viola during the dark and cold autumn afternoons.

Christian Church, Shenandoah, IA
I've rhapsodized at length about the remarkable cluster of A-A churches in Shenandoah, Iowa, five nearly contemporary buildings that give every indication of being Akron-Auditorium types, all within about a two block radius. These two cards illustrate the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) that was my first encounter with the place. In the spirit of other DofC church buildings I've posted in the last week, I though you might be interested in seeing these two postcard views. I'm hopeful the blurred inscription on the left of the perspective might name its architect.

If you have an activity such as a regularly scheduled meeting that you want to include in the task list, you can create a recurring task. When you enter a recurring task, Project asks for the duration of each occurrence of the task and how often the task occurs. The default time unit for duration is one day (d). You can also use minutes (m), hours (h), weeks (w), and months (mo) as time units. Project then schedules each of the occurrences and creates a summary task for the series of events.
To schedule tasks which repeat during the project, do the following:
Select the task row where you want the task to go.
Choose Insert, Recurring Task from the menu to display the Recurring Task Information dialog box (see Figure 3.8).
Figure 3.8. The Recurring Task Information box gives you great flexibility in defining recurring events.
Enter a name for the task in the Task Name box.
Enter how long each event will be in the Duration box. For example, if the event is to be scheduled for 1.5 hours each time, enter 1.5 hrs in the Duration box.
In the Recurrence pattern section, select the recurring time period (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly). Your choice of pattern determines the options that appear to the right for your next selection.
If you selected Daily occurrences, choose the frequency of the event in the list box and select either Day or Workday. For example, the events might take place "every other" Workday.
If you select Weekly occurrences, choose the frequency and the day of the week.
If you select Monthly occurrences, you can define the frequency in terms of the day number in the month or in terms of a specific day of the month. For example, you could select Day 1 of every month or the third Thursday in every month.
If you select a Yearly occurrence, you can define the event as a specific date in the year or as a specific weekday in a particular month. For example, you could select April 15 of each year or the last Wednesday in July.
Finally, you need to define how many times the event (task) will take place. You must specify the date for the first event in the Start date box. If the task takes place at a particular time of day, be sure you add the time of day to the date in the Start date box. In Figure 3.8, the meeting is set to start at 9:00 a.m. every Monday.
You can then specify the last date this event will occur in the End By date box, or enter a specific number of occurrences in the End After box. Project supplies the finish date for the project as a default End By date, but you can change that if needed.
When you have completed your choices, click OK and Project will attempt to schedule all the events. If any of the occurrences fall on a weekend or other nonworking day, Project warns you with the alert dialog box. Your options are to let Project reschedule those occurrences that fall on nonworking days to the next working day, or to have Project omit scheduling those few occurrences. You can also Cancel the recurring task at that point.
For example, if you scheduled weekly meetings for Monday mornings, some of those Mondays may be part of 3-day weekends. Should those meetings be moved to Tuesdays, or should those meetings be cancelled for that week?

Boudoir photography involves creating intimate and romantic images of a woman, most commonly wearing lingerie. Boudoir is a French term that refers to a bedroom, which is the setting for these images. Having these photos made is a rising trend for today's brides, being at one of the most beautiful times in their lives. Many brides give an album of these images to their fiance on the wedding day. Other women also give the gift of boudoir images to their boyfriends or husbands for anniversaries, birthdays, and holidays such as Valentine's Day. Many women are also having the session done just for themselves.
My job is to capture you in what you are comfortable wearing (a sexy robe, lingerie, boy shorts, thongs, corsets, fancy bras, stockings, heels, boots or maybe even your guy's favorite team tee) and in the most flattering poses that fit your body type. As a photographer, there's nothing more rewarding than making you leave your shoot feeling confident and sexy. It's all about you and your personality so we will talk and decide on what works best for you.
If a boudoir session interests you give me a call or send an email

NEW YORK, Aug 28 (Reuters) - A U.S. federal judge denied a
request by Orbitz Worldwide Inc, Sabre Holdings Corp
and Travelport Ltd to dismiss a lawsuit
filed by American Airlines Inc accusing the companies of
antitrust violations
The decision by U.S. District Judge Terry Means in Fort
Worth, Texas, which had been under seal, was made public on
Tuesday following a request by the parties to unseal the order.
American Airlines, whose parent company is AMR Corp
, accused the defendants of monopolizing how fares and
flights are distributed to travel agents.
Orbitz is an online travel agency, Travelport provides
transaction processing, and Sabre runs a distribution system
that delivers fare and flight information to travel agents.
Judge Means had previously dismissed some claims by American
Airlines, but he allowed the company to submit a second amended
complaint. In his most recent decision, Means found that
American had adequately alleged that the defendants engaged in a
conspiracy to preserve their market power.
Nancy St. Pierre, a spokeswoman for Sabre, said the company
would continue to "vigorously defend ourselves against these
baseless and meritless claims."
American Airlines, Travelport and Orbitz did not respond
immediately to a request for comment.
The case is American Airlines Inc. V. Travelport Ltd et al,
U.S. District Court, Northern District of Texas, No 11-0244.

Even though TRS chief and Telangana CM KCR passed resolution in assembly opposing the renaming of Shamshabad airport domestic terminal as NTR airport, KCR said he has no grudge against the great leader. Speaking in the assembly before passing the resolution, he said there is no doubt in anyone's mind that NTR was a great leader and legendary actor.
He said however it is not the question of NTR's name here but it is related to Telangana honour. He said Telangana Govt already wrote letter to Union Govt to name the airport after former PM PV.Narasimha Rao if they have to change the name but in principle oppose the name change as former PM Rajiv Gandhi too sacrificed for the country.
He said Telangana people sentiments are against Andhra leaders names and keeping this in mind, his govt is changing some of the names. He said NTR name could be kept to any of the airports in Vizag, Rajamundry, Vijaywada or Tirupati.

Mission Restarts Biodiesel Output
Subject: Biofuels
Australian listed biodiesel producer Mission Biofuels Limited is restarting production of palm methyl ester (PME) at its Malaysian plant
Australian listed biodiesel producer Mission Biofuels Limited is restarting production of palm methyl ester (PME) at its Malaysian plant and will "profitably" produce and sell about 4,000t of biodiesel in May, the company said.
Mission is looking to secure "moderate" quantities of feedstock at reasonable prices to produce and sell biodiesel on a "jobbing basis", the firm said. Market sources said the economics of biodiesel production have improved after feedstock palm oil prices stayed on a sideways trend for over the past month even as fossil fuel prices surged.
Mission said its glycerin refining "is being ramped up to full capacity of 900t from May 2008 onwards".
As biodiesel production margins turned negative with the surging price of feedstock palm oil, a number of companies, including Mission and Australian-listed Natural Fuel Limited, stopped production of PME and concentrated on refining crude glycerin that yielded attractive margins.
Mission said it was on target to post a gross profit of Australian $9mn ($8.45mn) for the 2007-2008 financial year.
Mission has built a 100,000t/yr biodiesel plant near Malaysia's Kuantan Port, which also produces 4,000t/yr of palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) and 10,000t/yr of 99.7 pc pharmaceutical grade glycerine.
A second plant that will produce 250,000t/yr of biodiesel, 10,000t/yr of PFAD and 25,000t/yr of 98pc technical grade glycerine is currently under construction next to the first facility.

Back-to-school preparations include vaccinating children
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) —
With students preparing to head back to school, the California Department of Public Health urges parents and guardians to check the vaccine record of their children.
Many vaccine-preventable diseases, such as measles, can easily spread in child care and school settings.
"By getting children all of the vaccines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), parents can protect their children from serious diseases," Dr. Karen Smith, state public health officer, said in a news release.
California law requires students to receive certain immunizations in order to attend public and private elementary and secondary schools, as well as licensed child care centers. Schools and licensed child care centers are required to enforce immunization requirements, maintain immunization records of all children enrolled, and report student immunization status to CDPH.
Last April, CDPH reported vaccination rates are at record levels for children attending kindergarten.
To learn more about the vaccination rate of your child's school or childcare is, go to the Shots for School website.

Doble 9
World Premiere
DOBLE 9 is an expositional documentary that delves into the world of four Cuban exiles living in Miami's Little Havana. In this documentary, the game of dominoes, played at the Maximo Gomez Domino Park, brings these people together in a unique way. The game allows them to form a camaraderie, while the park serves as a sanctuary to all the players. A place where they go to have fun and share their culture. We explore the philosophy of the game, along with the Cuban tradition of playing dominoes- which often starts at an early age at home with their family.

I've been on maybe 4 forums that I can remember. I'm pretty sure at least one had a "Go to my last post" button in the subscribed threads list. What it did was pretty obvious. Just goes into the thread you wanted but at your last post instead of THE last post. That way you could just read down from your last entry. Either way if we've got one here I can't find it, and if we don't then we should.
Please and Thank you to anyone paying this any attention considering how low on a metaphorical to-do list I imagine it would be.

Native Sons "Dharma" Clip-on 太陽眼鏡
Native Sons "Dharma" Clip-on 太陽眼鏡,發想自垮世代文學作家傑克・克魯亞克的經典作品 "The Dharma Bums達摩流浪記"。在我們心中這是比 "On the road 在路上" 更能體會到到生命力量的作品,克魯亞克依舊以自由而狂放的書寫方式,描述著關於背包革命、旅行、信仰,以及生態倫理的故事,為六零年代追求自由與獨立思考的反叛精神下了最貼切的註解。
Photo Credit: Visual Culture Optical Harper's BAZAAR HK
"The woods do that to you, they always look familiar , long lost, like the face of a long-dead relative, like an old dream, like a piece of forgotten song drifting across the water, most of all like golden eternities of past childhood or past manhood and all the living and the dying and the heartbreak that went on a million years ago and the clouds as they pass overhead seem to testify (by their own lonesome familiarity) to this feeling. Ecstasy, even, I felt, with flashes of sudden remembrance and, and feeling sweaty and drowsy I felt like sleeping and dreaming in the grass."
The perfect clip-on glasses by Native Sons. "Dharma.", inspired by our favorite book, beat writer Jack Kerouac's "The Dharma Bums." Written in Jack's signature wild and free style, it tells a story of a mountaineer and hitchhiker, finding treasuring friendship and the meaning of life in the big wide world. The upbeat, freedom-loving philosophy within became a cultural revolution and inspired numerous readers.

Attendance at last week's city council meeting may have been sparse, but it was a big day for Mayor Tom Butt, whose staff unveiled the mayor's first-ever housing strategy before the council.
The 35-page policy document, which was announced in a press release prior to last Tuesday's meeting, details the mayor's plan to increase the availability of affordable and market rate housing in Richmond.
Councilmembers received the strategy with unusual consensus. Vice Mayor Eduardo Martinez and Councilmember Nathaniel Bates, who historically have not seen eye-to-eye on housing issues such as rent control, both said that Richmond needs to be more aggressive in tackling the city's housing crisis.
"Should we not be designating certain areas for low-income housing?" Bates asked the council. "We just keep waiting."
Martinez agreed, adding that the council needs to "start thinking of developing a Richmond that is common to everyone."
The mayor's plan puts development front and center, framing it as a preferable alternative to Measure L, the rent control ordinance that will appear on the ballot in November. References to Measure L bookend the document, and a full section of the report is dedicated to the shortcomings of rent control and just-cause policies.
Butt argues in the plan that rent control policies "discourage housing development and exacerbate accessibility issues for those in the lower income brackets due to lack of affordable housing units," citing a 2016 Beacon Economics Report commissioned by the California Apartment Association.
But the mayor's office maintains that the document isn't a response to the rent control ordinance.
Director of Policy and Strategy Alex Knox said the plan has been in the works since spring of last year, when Butt assembled a task force of local experts to assess the city's housing conditions.
"People have been asking for this, whether they're for or against rent control," said Knox, who presented the strategy to the City Council last Tuesday evening alongside the mayor's Director of Community Engagement Christopher Whitmore.
Zak Wear, campaign coordinator for the pro-rent control Fair and Affordable Richmond coalition, said he read the plan as a rejection of Measure L, couched in an outline of the "existing consensus" about housing development in Richmond.
According to Butt, there's some truth to Wear's assessment. The housing strategy was intended to focus on "something we all agree on," said the mayor, rather than on rent control, which the council is divided on.
To the mayor, that "something" is the affordability of housing in Richmond, which he sees as a supply problem. "The only solution to high housing costs is to increase the supply," said Butt in the forward to his housing plan.
That supply could also enable Richmond to play "an important role…in the Bay Area housing crisis," said Knox to the council.
Unlike Oakland and San Francisco, Richmond has struggled to attract investors, which the mayor's plan attributed in part to a "negative image" of the city that "may no longer be accurate but continues to persist."
"I'm not quite sure what it takes regionally for people to realize that this is an outstanding place to invest in," said Richard Mitchell, Richmond's Director of Planning and Building, to the council at Tuesday's meeting.
The mayor's plan takes a detailed look at funding sources to boost housing development. Potential financing opportunities include using in-lieu fees paid by market-rate developments to support affordable projects, establishing a local Housing Trust Fund for regional developers, and utilizing California's Low Income Housing Tax Credit program, among other state and federal sources.
Other strategies in the plan include turning vacant blighted and abandoned residential properties back into productive spaces and expanding the city's inclusionary housing policy, which currently restricts the cost of sale and rental units for a 30-year period.
The mayor's strategy also focuses explicitly on affordable housing for low-income residents.
According to the plan, Richmond currently has just under 3,000 affordable rental units, most of which are designated for very low income households—those that earn below 50 percent of the Area Median Income, about $27,000 annually in Richmond. Over 8,300 Richmond households earned below $25,000 from 2009 to 2013, according to the city's General Plan 2030.
A map included in the plan shows sites of large-scale planned housing projects. Planned market-rate developments are concentrated in the more affluent areas of Richmond's South Shoreline and Hilltop neighborhoods. Most of the planned affordable housing sites are located near the Richmond, El Cerrito del Norte and El Cerrito Plaza BART stations, and the Capital Corridor that runs through the city's core.
Knox said that this imbalance is intended to ensure that low-income residents have access to public transportation routes that bisect the city. The plan follows "traditional housing trends over the course of multiple decades in Richmond," he said.
A comprehensive zoning update based on goals set by the General Plan 2030 is also in the works. The update will supplement the mayor's plan by determining where housing development will be permitted. One of the mayor's suggested modifications to the zoning plan is to expand the city's ability to add units in neighborhoods already approved for affordable housing.
The mayor also suggests pursuing "accessory" units, such as converted garages and guest apartments, as potential sources of affordable housing, and improving homeownership assistance and local preference policies in subsidized and new housing in order to "curb displacement."
One notable omission from the plan was a plan to reduce homelessness in Richmond.
"The problem with using the market to develop housing is that it doesn't take care of the homeless," said Martinez at the meeting.
Councilmember Gayle McLaughlin also voiced her concerns about homelessness: "These are real, live current day problems, and they can't wait."
Butt responded that he refrained from addressing the issue of homelessness "head-on," noting that his plan is intended as a living document that council members and the public will be called upon to improve.

In Jill Bolte Taylor's book 'My Stroke of Insight,' she points to scientific evidence showing that the life span of any particular emotion is only one and a half minutes. After that we have to revive the emotions and get it going again.
Our usual process is that we automatically do revive it by feeding it with an internal conversation about how another person is the source of our discomfort. Maybe we strike out at them or at someone else--all because we don't want to go near the unpleasantness of what we're feeling.
In other words, that internal marching band of self-pity when we're passed over for a promotion; that white-hot rage at an ill-timed comment from a partner that you know stems from years of them actually hating you rather than having your back; that steady rap of guilt from not performing perfectly at school; those emotions typically last 90 seconds until you give them a story.
And we get to choose the story.
That self pity you feel? Maybe choose to see that everything happens for a reason. That anger? Cultivate some compassion. That guilt? Let go of perfection in favor of progress.
Cue the response: "Easier said than done."
It's true. But think again about the wolves – which one do you want to feed? Imbibing in the negative emotions will give strength to the evil wolf. The good wolf will eventually have no room to exist at all. The practice of feeding the good wolf will make it easier over time, and your default will be choosing to see the positive.
The next time a turbulent emotion strikes, try pausing. Live in it for 90 seconds, acknowledge its reality, and then choose which story you give it.
And let me know how it goes, I'm still working on it.

Junior Pro Day at Holsworthy Golf Club
I hosted my first Junior Pro Day on Saturday 29th of August.
Teaching Using the Leaderboard Golf Trainer
Junior development is a priority in my opinion as children are the future of the sport.
I have taught many different boys and girls of different levels and abilities since I turned professional
and find it extremely rewarding seeing them improve. When teaching Junior golfers from 5 years old
to 18 I always aim to make the sessions interesting and enjoyable. Using training aids such as the
Leaderboard Golf Trainer and Putting Rail all help to make this possible.
Teaching using the Putting Rail
National Success
I have experienced National Success with my coaching in 2007 alongside Iain Parker, Head
Professional and Michael Wilson, Club Professional at Royal North Devon Golf Club.
The success came when we
coached five children into the National Final of one of England's largest golfing initiatives,
the National Skills Challenge.
Over 100 clubs participate in the event annually over three separate challenges which test the
children in five disciplines from putting and bunker play right through to long game.
Over 5000 children participate in the event each year with 20 children with the highest
scores in their age groups qualifying for the National Final at Woodhall Spa,
the home of the English Golf Union. Remarkably, in 2007 a fifth of the finalists were made
up of Royal North Devon Juniors with 2 of these,
Jimmy Mullen and Michael Townshend successfully winning their age categories to
become National Champions.
This year in 2008 I have had the same success but this year 6 of the 20 finalists will be representing
Royal North Devon on Saturday 13th September at Woodhall Spa. See www.getintogolf.org/skills
for more details.
Wood Meets Wood
I met Chris Wood, Open Championship Star and European Tour Player when he came down to
Royal North Devon to practise with his Gloucester team mates for the South West Amateur
Championships earlier this year. I was extremely impressed by his friendly attitude towards the
Juniors, his standard of golf and his work ethic as he continued to practise for long periods
in all weather conditions.

There is nothing in the world so much admired as a man who knows how to bear unhappiness with courage.
- Seneca, Roman Philosopher, Dramatist, and Statesman (B.C. 3-65 A.D.)
No one can take away from Barack Obama the fact that his accomplishments as president are unprecedented. Even Obama's self-aggrandizing use of the word "unprecedented" is unprecedented. After calling the Bush deficits "irresponsible" and "unpatriotic" on the campaign trail, it took Obama only three years and two months to increase the national debt more than Bush did in his entire eight-year presidency, but perhaps even more impressive than that feat was Obama matching GWB's full two-term presidency in rounds of golf over his first nine months!
Of course, George W. Bush had the disadvantage of having a conscience and feeling it would not be right for the president to be seen golfing while soldiers were dying on the battlefield. Quoting the former president:
I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.
Source: Politico
Thankfully for Barack Obama, he has absolutely no qualms about being seen playing golf while our soldiers die. For the man who was handed a Nobel Prize before having accomplished anything as president, who then promptly expanded the War in Afghanistan to the body count of more than twice as many soldiers dead under his presidency than under Bush's, Obama's ability to focus on his golf game without distraction must be seen as all the more impressive. Barack Obama now stands just one round away from the milestone of one-hundred rounds of golf played. It's tough being king, but someone's got to do it.
So while we applaud Obama for achieving yet another remarkable presidential milestone, we must also marvel at the fact that it's just one of the many achievements for which history will remember this president. As devoted as he's been to his presidential golf game, Obama has still found a way to squeeze in an unprecedented amount of lavish vacations and more fundraisers than the last five presidents combined. Is it any wonder the man is portrayed on mainstream media magazine covers wearing Superman suits and sporting airbrushed halos over his head?

12 Responses to Obama Reaches Another Great Milestone
A couple of things to chew on my man
This post is so full of lies it's hard to tell where to start. Get out of your Fox News bubble that only tells you what you want to hear and whips up fear to keep you in line.
Nice effort . . . NOT! Way to address absolutely nothing that I said. LOL. You say it's hard to tell where to start? Perhaps that's because you've got nothing to begin with. DEBATE FAIL.
In my inbox there was a reply regarding Bruce Bartlett and Ronald Reagan, don't see it up here any more, but any talk about Reagan signing some of the tax increases the Democrat-controlled Congress sent his way is nearly irrelevant to the sweeping changes to the tax code, with the top marginal tax rate on individual income brought down from the Carter malaise rate of 70 percent to the Reagan boom rate of 28 percent.

Clare Edwards sighed boredly, she had been staying in her mom's office for over an hour, waiting for her mom to finish her session with a patient.
Helen Edwards worked in an insane asylum and worked until late evening, not allowing her only daughter to wander around the place, in fear of her daughter getting hurt by a patient or lost. Clare understood that, but it was so boring waiting there for several hours a day, and night.
There was a TV, but no cable. The DVD player wasn't working and all the books were about handling patients and treating them. She sighed and checked her watch, it was almost 9. Her mother wouldn't be done 'till eleven. So she decided to do the one thing her mom told her not to do.
Wander around in the hallways and rooms...
She quietly opened the door and checked if anyone was out in the halls...No one. Perfect.. No one to tell her mom about this. She stepped out and closed the door behind her.
She walked around, peeking through the small windows of doors. Most of the patients were sleeping , others too occupied in what they were doing to notice her. She reached the last door, which was at the end of the hall.
She peeked in the room, the lights were on , but no one was there. She decided to go in. She opened the door and closed it quietly behind her. It was the biggest room in the asylum and there were no windows.
She stepped toward the bed. The bed was made, as if it wasn't touched. She heard the door lock. She turned around to see a dark-haired guy in black clothes stare at her with piercing green eyes. He was taller than her, much taller, a good three or four inches.
He had tan skin and a dark aura. And... He was handsome. Her cheeks turned pink. "What are you doing here?" His voice was deep, dark, threatening.
Her throat suddenly turned dry. "I-I-" He stepped in front of her and tilted her chin with his hand. He stared in her blue eyes, smirking.
Then he stepped back, taking a full view of her. She was short and had pretty auburn curls. Her eyes were a very pretty blue and she had pale skin. She wore a white blouse and a dark blue skirt that came to her thighs.
She had an innocent appearance and right now, she looked scared. "I-I have to go.." 'Such a sweet voice..' She started towards the door, her heart racing.
She felt her arm being grabbed.."I don't think so.." He made her face him. A soft whimper escaped her lips. 'Such sweet,full lips.. Wonder what they taste like...' "W-what do you want from me?"
"You shouldn't have come in here..."
Clare froze, she was afraid to move. Afraid that he might hurt her if she did. She noticed he was enjoying this, enjoying her fear of him. She looked down, not wanting to face him."Just, just let me go, please.." He didn't answer, he just stared at her. " I won't tell anyone,I promise..."
He wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her to him. She began to whimper again. "I'll do anything..Just..Let me go.." He smirked. "Look at me.." She looked up, and found herself staring into his emerald-green eyes. And her heart almost stopped beating.
His eyes were filled lust, and that made her even more afraid. 'I'm trapped in a room,with a psycho, who'll probably rape me...' She bit her lip, looking down once again.
She regretted that she didn't listen to her mother, if she did, she wouldn't be in this situation.
He tilted her chin with his hand, staring into her beautiful blue eyes. He wanted to kiss her.. He wanted to...
He looked up, and smirked. A brown-haired woman in a white pants and a coat was banging on the locked door. Clare's eyes widened, she recognized that voice. 'Mom!' He watched the expression on Clare's face change, a smirk on his face.
He pulled her into kiss. Clare was shocked, but didn't try to fight back. It felt too good. She didn't want to pull away. 'She has such soft, sweet lips..' He slid a hand in her blouse, stroking the soft skin beneath.
She opened her mouth in shock, and Eli took that opportunity to slip his tongue in. He explored sweet cavern and gently played with her tongue, while her caressing her cheek.
Clare closed her eyes, enjoying the feeling. Suddenly she was pulled back, and her eyes snapped open. The dark-haired guy was being held by two men, while she was being pulled out of the room.
"We'll meet again, Blue Eyes.." A blush covered her cheeks, as one of the men closed the door. Helen pulled her daughter in her office and made her sit down on the couch. "I told you not to leave the room until I got here!"
Clare looked down, ashamed. "He could have hurt you!" She yelled angrily. She rubbed her temples. Then , in a more calm voice, she said " I just didn't want you to get hurt. I was worried when I came in here and you weren't in this room..."
"I'm sorry,mom..." Helen sighed, and pulled her daughter into a hug. "It's alright..Just...Don't do that again.."Clare pulled away, and nodded. They stayed quiet for a cleared her throat and asked "Who was he?"
Helen sat down on an armchair. "Well, do you know why he has room at the end of the hall? And why it's a bit bigger than the other patients'?" Clare nodded, intrigued. "Well, let's just say he's the "most insane" of all our has to be kept in there for, special reasons.. "
"But he doesn't look like he's crazy.." Helen nodded. "Exactly... But he is..."
"Why is he here anyway?"
"He killed his girlfriend because he caught her cheating on him with someone one night. He also killed his girlfriend's lover.."
"He tied them to chairs and burned their skin, laughing at the injuries, then stabbed them several times and set the house on fire.." Clare's eyes widened in shock.. "I don't want to give the details, it's sickening, revolting.." Clare nodded.
Helen checked the wall clock. "It's almost 12, get some sleep..."
Clare entered her room and removed her clothes, in exchange for a thin, comfy night gown and finally lay on her bed, thinking about him. He was so handsome,dark and...interesting.
She wasn't supposed to like him,he did terrible things,but she still liked him. He was so intriguing. She yawned. 'At least I'm safe now.' she thought, her eyes closing.
Clare felt something tickle her cheek.."Mmmmm, stop..." The tickling continued, she opened her eyes. Right above her , was him. She was about to scream when he covered her mouth with his hand. "Be quiet, or else.." He removed his hand from her mouth.
"W-what do you want?"
"To finish what I started.." He leaned down,cupped her cheek and pulled her into a kiss. She tried to push him off, but that didn't work.
She finally gave up after several weak attempts to push him off. He attacked her mouth hungrily, and explored her mouth. 'How'd he escape?'
She felt her blanket being pulled off her body, he pulled his mouth away from hers and stared at her body with lustful eyes. She had pale thighs and a perfect body. She had a nice chest size for someone of her height. He leaned down to kiss her neck.. Soft whimpers escaped the petite girl. "N-no.. D-don't.." He ignored her protests, continuing to leave soft kisses on her neck and throat.
He stroked her inner thighs, causing her to whimper some more. His hand moved to touch her sacred place. She was wet down there, he could feel through her lace underwear. He smirked and moved his lips to her ear.
"You're so wet for me, angel.." He began to rub her through her underwear. Soft moans escaped her lips. He felt himself grow hard. 'Such sweet moans..'

Sony's hopes along with ambitions with regard to PS4NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
Camera: The Particular Sony Camera isn't terribly different in the Microsoft Kinect throughout concept, employing a dual camera as well as multi-microphone array to track the movement in 3-D space. It's back again about the PS4. Launching any party chat can be merely a few clicks away, and sharing game footage about Facebook (FB, Fortune 500), Ustream as well as Twitch is as simple as hitting one devoted button on the controller.

Sony features built a complete experience across the live-streaming of game footage, known as Are Living through PlayStation. It's a small detail for any niche team of PS4 owners, but it's one which makes the feature every one associated with the a lot more appealing.
Design: Unlike the clunky and also ugly PlayStation 3, your PlayStation 4 is actually slim and also stylish, adding several existence from what would well be an ordinary black box.

That will take some time to find out how the app scenario shakes out, yet because it stands now, your PS4 can't substitute one other boxes inside your living room. And Also you can post footage for you to show you really accomplished some thing unbelievable throughout "Battlefield 4."

Yet unlike the PlayStation three and also Microsoft (MSFT, Fortune 500) Xbox One, the particular PS4 is not built to be any do-it-all entertainment box, as well as won't appeal fairly as much to some casual gaming audience. Video Games similar to "Knack" along with "Killzone" are generally early standouts, with "Knack" showing off a range of impressive livecamfun.com lighting and also particle effects.
When Sony initial unveiled your PlayStation 4 within March, it produced one thing really clear: This was creating the particular ultimate system pertaining to gamers.
App support is currently quite sparse, aside from the handful regarding streaming video apps that contain Netflix (NFLX), Hulu, Amazon (AMZN, Fortune 500), Vudu plus a couple of others.
That Will implies outside of the tech demo that will will come with almost all the console and some rudimentary voice controls, there's at present certainly not significantly you could do with the camera. It will be good to see Sony supply a couple of of media hub functionality towards the PS4 in the future. one regarding the initial issues the truth is when you turn the particular system upon is really a feed of just about all things your own PSN buddies are usually up to. Longtime gamers will nonetheless recognize it as getting a PlayStation controller, however the ergonomic shift in direction of grips that are lengthier as well as less-angular when compared with prior to help make mtss will be a a lot more comfortable controller in order to hold. 26, 2013
Performance: Such As the actual Xbox One, the PlayStation 4 will be built with an 8-core AMD (AMD, Fortune 500) processor, that must increase your risk for console much simpler to develop with regard to than its predecessor.

Conclusion: Ultimately, the actual PlayStation 4 is actually a very good gaming device that is just now waiting for that video games in order to arrive.
The Particular joysticks get also been redesigned, which are spaced out just a new little further than before and also use a lip across the best which in turn makes makes all regarding it your simpler to correctly accomplish complex moves.

Sometime over a year ago, my friend and me figuried out a non-common dog-fight flight display, with TIE Fighter, and X wing. The idea was; the TIE will be at Luftwaffe scheme, and the X wing will be RAF scheme. My friend was ill a long time, but the idea still in my mind. Now here is the new idea. I'll paint the X wing in RAF scheme around the Battle of Britain, and I'll paint the Spitfire at Red 3 scheme frome the Star Wars - A new hope. I found Mark II mask set a year before, that what I want to use. But, when I want to buy a 72 scale Mk II, I did not found. Hello Mr Murphy. But I have the new Airfix Mk Va. A little changes, and it will be good for Mark II. I have to make some upgrade on the Airfix kit, but nothing fancy. There will be some figures. Two pilotes, and one civilian. The civilian is movie director. First of all, I made the base. This is a Costal Kit airfield. And this will be the composition. On the lower left corner will stand the director. But the base was 2D. I scratch the base, and made a heavy wahs on the lines with Vallejo blue wash, and it get some light wash everywhere. Maybe I'll use some pigments at the end ... I dont know yet ...

The California Supreme Court is seemingly as divided as society is over gay marriage.
For more than three hours Tuesday, the seven justices of the state's high court shifted back and forth on whether to uphold California's ban on same-sex marriage, at times appearing to spar with each other as they weighed their most important civil rights case in decades.
The justices peppered lawyers on both sides of the case with dozens of questions that made predicting an outcome a fool's game. The court is reviewing a similarly divided 2006 appeals court ruling that upheld California's ban on gay marriage and a 2000 ballot initiative confining marriage to a union between a man and woman.
Underscoring the passions behind the conflict, demonstrators on both sides of the issue lined up outside the Supreme Court building, armed with placards and chants as they awaited the crucial legal arguments. Inside, an overflow crowd unable to get a seat in the courtroom jammed a downstairs auditorium to watch the arguments on a big-screen television, a boisterous group that cheered and jeered as though attending a high school basketball game.
But the stakes were evident in the courtroom, as the justices aired their first public views in a case they must decide within 90 days. Justices Marvin Baxter and Ming Chin, perhaps the court's most conservative members, seemed to have the deepest reservations about siding with civil rights groups and San Francisco city officials, who argue that the ban violates the equal-protection rights of gay and lesbian couples seeking the power to wed.

The IceHogs looked to pick up 4 divisional points this past weekend against the Iowa Wild as they played at the BMO Harris Bank Center in Rockford back-to-back nights. Unfortunately, the Hogs fell short of that goal.
I know the picture shows Houston instead of Iowa, but this is what they used to be so it works for right now.
Friday, November 8 vs. Iowa – On Los IceHogs Dos night, the Hogs started goaltender Antti Raanta opposite of Iowa starting Darcy Kuemper in between the pipes. Rockford got on the board first in this contest with defenseman Bobby Shea's first professional goal at 5:22 of the first period. Just over two minutes later, the Hogs extended their lead to 2-0 as Brad Winchester's shot from around the top of the right circle got past Kuemper after he got his blocker on it. With about 9 minutes left in the period, Iowa forward Jason Zucker tallied on the power play to cut the IceHogs' lead down to one.
Terry Broadhurst restored the IceHogs 2 goal lead as he scored on a breakaway while on the power play, which made it 3-1 and that stood as the final.
-Rockford outshot Iowa 27-25.
-The IceHogs went 1-for-4 on the power play and the Wild went 1-for-5 on the man advantage.
–Terry Broadhurst led the IceHogs with 4 shots on goal.
-IceHogs defenseman Theo Peckham tallied his first point in a Rockford sweater with his secondary assist on Brad Winchester's goal.
-One of the power play units that the IceHogs used was:
Jimmy Hayes – Drew LeBlanc – Brad Winchester
Klas Dahlbeck – Bobby Shea
-Some of the IceHogs penalty killing units were: Joakim Nordstrom, Phillip Danault, Klas Dahlbeck and Jared Nightingale; Byron Froese, Mark McNeill, Dylan Olsen and Theo Peckham; Garret Ross, Phillip Danault, Dylan Olsen and Bobby Shea; Mark McNeill, Alex Broadhurst, Klas Dahlbeck and Adam Clendening; Mark McNeill, Phillip Danault, Bobby Shea and Dylan Olsen.
-The 3 stars were: 1—Terry Broadhurst (1 G, 1 A, +1, 4 SOG) 2—Bobby Shea (1 G, +2, 2 SOG, 7 PIMs) 3—Brad Winchester (1 G, +1, 1 SOG).
-The scratches for Rockford were: Viktor Svedberg (injured), Kyle Beach, Joe Gleason and Maxim Shalunov (healthy).
-The lines and D pairs were:
Garret Ross – Alex Broadhurst—Jimmy Hayes
Brad Winchester – Drew LeBlanc – Terry Broadhurst
Joakim Nordstrom – Phillip Danault – Mark McNeill
Wade Brookbank – Pat Mullane – Byron Froese
Dylan Olsen – Adam Clendening
Klas Dahlbeck – Jared Nightingale
Theo Peckham – Bobby Shea
Saturday, November 9 vs. Iowa – Saturday's contest was an extremely ugly one for the IceHogs. On the first two penalties they took, they allowed two power play goals by the Wild. Warren Peters scored at 3:01 of the first period and Jonathon Blum tallied at 11:55 to make it 2-0 Wild. Garret Ross got the IceHogs on the board at 15:31 with his 3rd goal of the season. He brought the puck around from behind the net out to the front and let a shot go that cleanly beat goaltender Johan Gustafsson.
The Wild got into a lot of penalty trouble in the second period. The Hogs had some 4-on3 power play time, along with multiple 5-on-3 power plays, but they came up empty handed until 16:06 of the middle frame. That was towards the end of all of their power play time and Phillip Danault fired one home for his 2nd goal of the season to make it 2-2. At 18:50, the Wild were able to regain their lead with—you guessed it—a power play goal.
Some time during the end of the period, IceHogs goaltender Antti Raanta came out of his crease to play a puck near the back corner of his net and he was hit by a Wild player. He looked slow, but shook it off and stayed in net until the end of the period. Instead of going right to the dressing room like normal, he went to the bench and skated slowly back to the room with the trainer. Consequently, Kent Simpson started and played the whole third period for the IceHogs without a back-up goalie.
The game only became worse for Rockford as they lost their no. 1 defenseman to a hit to the head. Jason Zucker hit Adam Clendening up high and was given a 5 minute major and match penalty; Clendening was down on the ice for quite a while, but he was able to get up under his own power and skate on his own back to the dressing room. Clendening did not return to the game.
Unfortunately for Rockford, they weren't able to convert on this huge power play opportunity. The power play is what killed the Hogs' chances in this game. It wasn't that they couldn't gain zone time—they were in the Wild's zone pretty much the whole time they were on each of their man advantages. Their passing was not good at all so they weren't able to one-time pucks. They also waited too long to shoot in general and looked for places to pass when they should have shot pucks.
With their 5 minute power play wasted, Iowa tacked on two more goals in the third—one of them was also on the power play—giving the visitors the 5-2 win.
-The IceHogs outshot the Wild 34-20.
-The IceHogs went 1-for-7 on the power play and the Wild went 4-for-6 on the man advantage.
–Mark McNeill, Dylan Olsen and Klas Dahlbeck all registered 5 shots on goal for Rockford.
-Defenseman Jared Nightingale played in his 450th professional game on Saturday night.
-The IceHogs power play unit during 4-on-3 play was: Brad Winchester, Alex Broadhurst, Mark McNeill and Bobby Shea.
-On the5-on-3 power play, the IceHogs used:
Jimmy Hayes – Mark McNeill – Terry Broadhurst
Drew LeBlanc – Dylan Olsen
-The other power play units that the IceHogs used were:
Brad Winchester – Phillip Danault – Jimmy Hayes
Klas Dahlbeck – Bobby Shea
Terry Broadhurst –Alex Broadhurst – Mark McNeill
Dylan Olsen – Adam Clendening
-Some of the IceHogs penalty killing units were: Mark McNeill, Joakim Nordstrom, Jared Nightingale and Klas Dahlbeck; Mark McNeill, Garret Ross, Bobby Shea and Theo Peckham; Mark McNeill, Phillip Danault, Klas Dahlbeck and Bobby Shea; Jimmy Hayes, Garret Ross, Jared Nightingale and Theo Peckham; Terry Broadhurst, Brad Winchester, Jared Nightingale and Theo Peckham; Joakim Nordstrom, Pat Mullane, Theo Peckham and Jared Nightingale.
-The3 stars were: 1 – Brian Connelly (former IceHogs defenseman) (3 A, +1, 1 SOG) 2 — Taylor Matson (1 G, +1, 1 SOG) 3 – Jonathon Blum (1 G, 1 A, +1, 1 SOG).

David Guerrero, Andes Cafe
Can a chef rise, fall and rise again? That describes David Guerrero's career, where he moved from a successful turn as Samba Grille's executive chef to opening Peruvian restaurant Alma. Unfortunately, Alma shuttered, and his plans to reopen in Montrose never came together.
Now he's back at casual Andes Cafe in the Second Ward with a breakfast and lunch menu of classic South American fare that's among this year's best new restaurants. Guerrero is already expanding the menu, adding an avant garde tasting menu on Wednesday nights and Argentian parrilladas on Thursdays.Read More

Israel, Though Distracted by Surrounding Crises, Still Focused on Iran's Nuclear Sites — Including the Plutonium Project at Arak
by YOSSI MELMAN in Tel Aviv
A new focus for Israeli leaders — hinting at intelligence about a growing nuclear danger — is Arak (about 150 miles southwest of Tehran), where Iran is constructing a nuclear research reactor. Within two years, according to the Israelis, Arak could produce plutonium there. Along with 90% enriched uranium, that would provide the materials needed to make nuclear bombs.
A renewed campaign by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to point out the threat posed by Arak has been reflected in articles in conservative newspapers in both the United States and Israel.
A former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, urged Israel to attack Iranian nuclear facilities — saying every day adds to the danger for the Jewish state. He said Israel should have attacked "yesterday."
In its news analysis section, The Wall Street Journal ran a piece about Arak ("Iran Seen Trying New Path to a Bomb") that spoke of recent "significant advances" in constructing the site. The truth, however, is that no exceptional steps have been taken lately in Arak. The construction pace is more or less according to Israeli intelligence predictions and estimates.
It was at the end of the 1990s that Iran started clandestinely planning the reactor that could produce weapons-grade plutonium. It approached "Nikiet, a research and development center in Russia, asked for help in designing a nuclear research reactor with a 40 megawatt capacity — seemingly to "produce isotopes" for medical treatment.
The Russian institute named Nikiet was created to develop power systems for nuclear submarines. It also designed the first Soviet nuclear power reactors. Up until now Russia denies any role in Arak's construction, but Israeli and American sources argue that Nikiet was indeed involved.
Eventually Iran's plans were exposed in August 2002 by representatives of Mujhadin-e-Khalk (MEK), the People's Holy Warriors, an Iranian opposition group which until recently was blacklisted as a terrorist group by the United States government.
It is worth mentioning that information about Arak was given to MEK by Israeli intelligence, which via this method "laundered" the secret information while protecting its sources.
Construction at the site began at 2004, and Iran had little choice but to notify the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and to declare the existence of the site and its plans. But two years later, when the UN Security Council imposed the first round of sanctions on Iran's nuclear and missile program, Tehran used the occasion as a pretext to stop the IAEA inspections of the site.
Thus Arak is nowadays off-limits to IAEA inspectors.
One of the rare experts who tried to alert the international community to the potential danger in Arak is Robert Kelley. "I tried my best to warn of Arak," he told me in a phone interview from his home in Vienna, where the IAEA has its headquarters.
Dr Kelley is a renowned American and international authority on plutonium-based nuclear weapons. In the 1970s he was a senior manager at America's national laboratories in Los Alamos, New Mexico, and Livermore, California. Among his responsibilities was to monitor the nuclear programs of foreign countries.
Though he refused to elaborate, it could be understood that monitoring Israel's nuclear program (together with India's and Pakistan's) was part of his job. In the 1990s he joined the IAEA and served on the team which monitored dictator Saddam Hussein's nuclear efforts in Iraq.
Dr Kelley finds it hard to believe that the Arak reactor is for medical purposes. "The reactor is a strange thing," he said, noting that it is a heavy-water nuclear reactor, situated far from Tehran — although the capital is ostensibly the main consumer of the medical isotopes that could be produced at Arak.
Based on his experience and knowledge, the American expert said also that all three countries (Israel, India, and Pakistan) eventually developed their nuclear weapons alongside their nuclear reactors (all 40 or so megawatts in capacity) — though the reactors were officially "just for research."
Iraq tried the same path, until Israel's air force bombed the Tammuz (Osirak) reactor near Baghdad in June 1981.
So why should Iran be different. After all, it did not invent the wheel. Dr. Kelley — I asked — are you basically saying that the Arak reactor is for building nuclear bombs? "Yes, there is a possibility which has to be considered: that the reactor is for military purposes."
Iran declared that the Arak reactor would be operational in 2014 but Robert Kelley doubted it. "Iran's major problem is to fabricate the nuclear fuel to run the reactor. For this it needs Zirconium, a material which it has problems purchasing because of the international sanctions."
He pointed out that in the past, Iran had faced many obstacles with starting its other nuclear facilities on time. "It is possible that this time Iran will meet its timetable andArak will be operational in a matter of months, but it also may take years."
So where is all this leading? To more of the same? More threats? And more hints of attacks? Probably so.
One senior official in Jerusalem made a point of leaking (in early August) his assessment that Israel cannot rely on Barack Obama's public declarations that he intends to stop — at almost all costs — Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
So Israel is once again sending signals that it will, if necessary, take military action on its own to derail Iran's nuclear programs.
The above-ground and mostly visible Arak facility can be a relatively easy target for warplanes and missiles to hit, certainly easier than the Natanz and Fordow sites (which contain centrifuges, spinning to enrich uranium) which are mostly underground and much harder to destroy.
The key question, however, is whether Israel will or won't bomb any sites in Iran. Most security analysts in Israel conclude that the most likely answer is "no."
But it is interesting to note that James Mattis — the recently retired Marine general who was head of United States Central Command — has reached his own conclusion: "I have no doubt," he told Wolf Blitzer at the Aspen Security Forum in mid-July, "that if Israel finds out that Iran is going to produce the bomb, then Israel will attack."

Developing solutions to customize systems like SharePoint, Dynamics CRM and tailor-made applications are usually expensive. The amount of time and developers are usually preventing customers from accepting the solutions. With the use and adoption of Cloud solutions by SMEs will require a disruption for software developers.
There are a couple of reasons why we need a disruption of software development.
- Cloud services are constantly updated and adding new features. With traditional development are the risk of problems after upgrades highly potential. This has already happened.
- Customers will choose many different Cloud services that needs to interact. With APIs are this a lot easier handled. Most vendors have open APIs, if they don´t you should look at others.
- The cost of traditional software developments are too expensive for SMEs. With APIs are the possibility to develop solutions for a whole business vertical.
- Time to market is essential today and will require quick development. With the use of API is it easier to develop faster.
These are some of the reasons why APIs are so important for developing Cloud solutions, I am a bit troubled by the business reluctant to adopt to develop more using API.
In our part of the ICT business as a Microsoft partner I still find many of our friends in the Microsoft Partner Network are not upto speed with the possibilities of APIs. This even though Microsoft has developed an extreme amount of APIs för all of their Cloud services and even for on-prem solutions. I know after 32 years in the industry that the speed of change sometimes is slow and that disruption is a negative word.
Would you like to know more about what you can gain from with APIs? We can explain it in plain language how you can get Office 365, SharePoint, CRM, OneDrive and other services to integrate with other services such as accounting, web-based, e-commerce and more.

Ruby [Special]
Ruby [Special]
Ruby is a band consisting of UK vocalist Lesley Rankine and producer Mark Walk whose repertory of styles expand across electronic, trip hop, noise, and Industrial. Rankine began her music career as frontwoman to UK noise group Silverfish, leaving the group, based in London, after the release of their 1993 LP Organ Fan and departing for Seattle.
There she joined forces with producer Mark Walk, with whom she worked on material for industrial group Pigface, to produce an electronic album which echoed the downtempo styles, especially trip hop, more than their noise backgrounds; the album, Salt Peter, was released in 1995, with a remix album, Revenge, The Sweetest Fruit, appearing in 1996. She also appeared on the Toronto-based Monster Voodoo Machine's Suffersystem album recorded in 1994 at Chicago Trax. The album won a Juno award (the Canadian equivalent to a Grammy).
Rankine returned to her native Scotland to work on Ruby's second album, Short Staffed at the Gene Pool. This saw the group release material on a new UK label, Wichita Recordings, as well as Thirsty Ear in the US. The song Grace was mixed by several producers, including Mira Calix of Warp Records. This was followed by another remix album, Altered and Proud, later that year. Thirsty Ear Recordings is an American independent record label. Warp Records is a pioneering independent UK record label, founded in Sheffield in 1989, notable for discovering some of the most enduring artists in electronic music. Rankine has since taken a break from recording, returning to her home country. Mark Walk is currently a member of legendary Industrial music group Skinny Puppy. It has been suggested that Chicago Industrial be merged into this article or section.Skinny Puppy is a prominent industrial band, formed in Vancouver, BC, Canada in 1982. ...
The band Ruby was named as such because Lesley Rankine and Mark Walk both have grandmothers named Ruby.
