Generational Housing Needs and Their Effect on the Market
There are four distinct generations that are changing the types of homes in demand today. They include these generations: The Silent Generation: born 1925-1945, Baby Boomers: born 1946-1964, Generation X: born 1965-1980, Generation Y: born 1981-2000
Each of the generations have very specific housing needs which require updated floor plans. This is creating both challenges and opportunities in the real estate industry. These new demands for specific space include more storage and work space, outdoor living spaces, and guest or extended family guest quarters (next generation living space). The demand for remodeling has dramatically increased with bathroom renovations next generational remodels being at the top of the remodel list.
The four generations each have different housing needs and each require a different kind of home. Here is each generation is looking for in their living space:
Silent Generation: This generation doesn't require a large home in terms of square footage. Small square footage and one-level living is attractive to this generation as the less there is to maintain, the better. They are not into fancy finishes – they want practical, useable space with smart bathrooms (which include non-slip surfaces, easy-to-get-into bathtubs, walk-in showers rather than shower/bath combos, and safety bars). They also need space for visiting family members or a temporary live-in caretaker/medical care provider. This generation is more likely to renovate rather than relocate if possible due to their connection with their neighborhood and their neighbors.

Dallas Momn Glue's 2-Year-Old Daughter's Hands To Wall As She Beats, Bloodies Bloodies & Breaks Her Bones!
" A two-year-old girl is in critical condition in the hospital and her mother is charged with torturing her and inflicting the damage that put her there. Police said the abuse started with a frantic call from 22-year-old Elizabeth Escalona to her mother, saying something was wrong with her two year old daughter, Joselyn Cedillo. When the child's grandmother got to the home she could see just what was wrong. The little girl was unresponsive. A relative tells News 8 the child had broken bones, bruises and head injuries. The grandmother and other relatives desperately tried to help Joselyn and rushed her to Children's Medical Center of Dallas." - 8 News

This document describes the architecture of the Cisco 12000 Series Internet Router route processor.
There are no specific requirements for this document.
The information in this document is based on the following hardware:
Cisco 12000 Series Internet Router
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
For more information on document conventions, see the Cisco Technical Tips Conventions.
The Gigabit Route Processor, more commonly called the GRP, is the brain of the system. The GRP:
Runs internal routing protocols such as Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP), Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
Runs external gateway protocols such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
Computes the forwarding table
Builds the Cisco Express Forwarding tables and Adjacency tables, and distributes them to all the line cards (LCs) in the system over the Switch Fabric.
Additionally, the GRP is also responsible for system control and administrative functions, performing general maintenance functions, such as diagnostics, console port, and line card monitoring.
Note: Once the GRP has sent the routing information base (RIB), basically the route table, and the adjacency database to each LC over the switch fabric, each LC then computes its copy of the Forwarding Information Base (FIB) which should be identical to the one on the Route Processor (RP). Sometimes there are inconsistencies between the FIB on the RP and the LC. This is why you should always check the CEF entry on the RP and the LC when you are troubleshooting accessibility. All LCs make their switching decisions based on the FIB table and then directly send the packet to the appropriate output interface over the fabric.
The GRP is mainly composed of:
CPU - The CPU on the GRP is the same R5000 processor used on the Cisco 7500 RSP4. The CPU is responsible primarily for running routing protocols and for maintaining a master copy of the CEF table which is downloaded to the line cards for packet switching.
Main Memory (Dynamic RAM - DRAM) - Up to 512 MB used to store Cisco IOS software code and all data structures.
Cisco Cell Segmentation and Reassembly (CSAR) Static RAM (SRAM) - 512 KB; this memory is used for reassembling cells arriving from the switching fabric into packets.
Ethernet Controller - Designed for out-of-band management: traffic which should not be switched between this port and ports on the LCs.
For more information about the types of memory on a GRP, see Memory Present on the Gigabit Route Processor (GRP).
Below is an overview of the GRP:
The GRP communicates with the line cards, either through the switching fabric or through a redundant 1 Mbps Maintenance Bus. The fabric connection is the main data path for route table distribution and for the movement of packets between the line cards and the GRP (for example, Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and Telnet). The maintenance bus connection enables the GRP to download a bootstrap image, collect or load diagnostic information, and perform general maintenance operations.
The following sequence describes a typical GRP boot process:
System power is turned on.
The GRP decompresses the Bootstrap image (rommon).
The GRP loads the appropriate Cisco IOS software image from the Flash card.
The GRP decompresses the Cisco IOS software image.
Meanwhile, the Maintenance Bus (MBus) is initialized (it receives +5 VDC) and the MBus module in each component in the chassis also powers on.
Redundant GRPs in the chassis arbitrate for mastership over the MBus period.
The Primary RP uses the MBus to instruct the MBus modules on the line cards and switch cards to power on their cards.
The Bootstrap image is downloaded to the line cards across the MBus.
The GRP decompresses the configuration, while the line cards are waiting for the loading of the fabric downloader over the switch fabric.
The line card gets the fabric downloader and loads it into line card memory.
The line card launches and runs the fabric downloader.
The GRP downloads the Cisco IOS software onto line card memory.
The line card launches and runs the Cisco IOS software image.
"IOS RUN" appears on the line card LED.
When the links come UP/UP, BGP peers are established and routes are advertised.
Route advertisements are sent to the RP.
RP updates the routing information table and builds a CEF entry for that prefix.
For each line card that is UP/UP and in sync, the RP sends the update through Inter Processor Communication (IPC).
BGP convergence finishes. All routes are successfully exchanged and integrated into Cisco Express Forwarding.
Support for redundant GRPs was introduced in Cisco IOS Software Releases 12.0(5)S and 11.2(15)GS2.
As from Cisco IOS Software Release 12.0(22)S, the following redundancy modes are supported on the Cisco 12000 Series Internet Router:
Route Processor Redundancy (RPR)
Route Processor Redundancy Plus (RPR+)
Stateful Switchover (SSO)
See How does 12000 Series Internet Router GRP Redundancy Work? for more details about these different redundancy modes.
Note: The failover process can be initiated by the redundancy force-failover command.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 Ethernet interface, located on the GRP, allows connections to external Ethernet networks and is capable of data transmission rates of 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps. At the auto-sensed data transmission rate of 100 Mbps, the Ethernet port provides maximum usable bandwidth that is less than 100 Mbps; a maximum usable bandwidth of approximately 20 Mbps can be expected if you are using either the MII or RJ-45 connection. Transmission speed which is not user-configurable is determined by the network to which the Ethernet interface is connected.
Further, the Ethernet interface does not provide external routing functions; it is primarily designed as a Telnet port into the GRP, and for booting or accessing Cisco IOS software images over a network to which the Ethernet interface is directly connected.
GRP Ethernet port forwarding behavior was changed in Cisco IOS Software Release 12.0(9)S (CSCdm01200), so packets received on a line card are no longer forwarded out of the Ethernet port. As of Release 12.0(9)S, by default:
Ethernet 0 is only used for communication to and from the RP.
Packets entering E0 and destined out of a line card are dropped.
Packets entering a line card or created on a line card that need to be sent out Ethernet 0 are dropped.
With this bug, Cisco Express Forwarding is disabled on Ethernet 0 by default.
On the Cisco 12000 series routers, the GRP Ethernet 0 port is designed to handle packets to and from the GRP. In some versions of code, the software incorrectly allows the Ethernet 0 port to be used to forward packets to the line cards. This forwarding path is unsupported and should not be used as it exposes the router vulnerabilities, including the potential that a large number of packets will be sent through this path due to misconfiguration of another device. This would result in all of the GRP CPU being used to forward the packets at the expense of other router duties.
DDTS CSCdu27273 changes the command line interface so that it is consistent with the supported configurations for the GRP Ethernet 0 port. Specifically, the port can only be used to receive packets destined for the router. These changes have been committed in Cisco IOS Software Releases 12.0(18)ST and 12.0(18)S.
The following links provide two methods for configuring the Ethernet interface:

Never underestimate the power of a bright white smile. NIDA's 2008 Monitoring the Future Survey found that the vast majority of teens—75% of high school seniors—would "prefer to date people who don't smoke."
According to scientists at the University of Michigan, "teens should take note that becoming a smoker will make them less attractive to the great majority of the opposite sex—a high price to pay." You can say that again! Dating is hard enough already—why smoke cigarettes and make it even harder?
sara i know what u mean i mean im 15 and i hvent had a relationship in awhlie so at least i know someone who thinks the same way :)
okay so like i'm 21 and i've been smoking for like 9 years how do i stop?
A fairly new Web site (www.smokefree.gov) from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services offers online advice and downloadable information to make quitting easier. Why don't you check it out?
I don´t smoke since 7 years and i wouldn´t like to have a girlfriend that smokes.

Four Book Reviews
From time to time, I like to expand my computer technology reading beyond software development. This healthy exercise helps me understand and interact with the bigger picture. Large IT departments have numerous specializations and understanding what challenges lie beyond writing code eases communication between groups as well as forge synergies between the application creators and the rest of the IT community.The four titles I have read recently focus on network and system administration, roles I have played and continue to play whenever duty calls. Each of these titles do a good job of explaining the details and fortunately require no deep background experience to understand their content. Let's take a look at each.
Network Flow Analysis Author Michael Lucas is an author whose work I appreciate and enjoy reading. His realization of life in the real-world of IT is refreshing, since he honestly present the scenarios beyond textbook situations. Network Flow Analysis is is written in the same style as his previous book, Cisco Routers for the Desperate, a book I reviewed years ago.
Network Flow Analysis walks through the process of isolating and identifying network performance issues by analyzing the flow of packets from one location to another. While it is mostly a manual for the author's preferred network diagnostic toolkit, Flow-tools, its also an opportunity to see the world from a seasoned network administrator's perspective. Additionally, learning how to use Flow-tools will not only help resolve network communication issues but can also be used to help debug applications by determining bottlenecks. Developers can also leverage the data generated by Flow-tools to enhance their own network-enabled application performance metrics.
The book is a comparatively quick read and will come in handy when troubleshooting and analyzing network problems. Like Cisco Routers for the Despearte, Network Flow Analysis will remain on my reference bookshelf to assist when the need arises.
Title: Network Flow Analysis Author: Michael W. Lucas Publisher: No Starch Press ISBN: 978-1-59327-203-6 Pages: 224 Price: $39.95 US
UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook, 4th Edition This grand-daddy of Unix system administration books has been revised a fourth time and shows off its new colorful cover as an indicator that a new and improved edition has arrived.
This book has probably taught hundreds of thousands of Unix sysadmins over its twenty year publishing run. The latest edition recognizes the impact Linux has had on the server landscape and, as such, covers Ubuntu, openSUSE and Red Hat along with the usual AIX, HP-UX and Solaris. The information is richly detailed and comprehensive. Clocking in at over 1,300 pages, this book is also one of the largest Unix sysadmin books on the market today. I read the Ebook edition and am thankful that the book is in that format not only to cut down on weight but also giving me the ability to quickly locate keyword topics.
There's a reason why this book has been such a long selling staple on tech bookshelves - it's a winner, and this latest edition continues to solidify this top ranking for today's generation of *nix admins.
Title: UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook, 4th Edition Authors: Evi Nemeth, Garth Snyder, Trent R. Hein, Ben Whaley Publisher: Prentice Hall ISBN: 978-0-13-148005-6 Pages: 1344 Price: $53.99
LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell, Third Edition After reading the UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook, O'Reilly's LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell provided a good test of my comprehension and recollection of all things Linux. While I am not a huge advocate of certifications, I do recognize their value when the tests are more than just a marketing ploy to capture more money for their products. The Linux Professional Institute (www.lpi.org) is a non-profit organization intent on certifying Linux professionals to help further promote the open source benefits of free software. As such, I trust its certificate intent more than vendors offering their own certifications for a price.
The book covers both 101 and 102 exams, and while I don't plan on taking these exams any time soon, the questions range from cake walks to really challenging - sure to give even seasoned Linux veterans pause. Still, for those considering taking this test, I would strongly advise reading Prentice Hall's UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook first, live the life of a sysadmin applying this newfound knowledge in the real world, and then buying this book for its study guides and satisfying challenges. If you can consistently answer the questions correctly, the LPI certification may be a worthwhile and rewarding pursuit to consider.
Title: LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell, Third Edition Authors: Adam Haeder, Stephen Addison Schneiter, Bruno Gomes Pessanha, James Stanger Publisher: O'Reilly Media ISBN: 978-0-596-80487-9 Pages: 528 Price: $49.99
Pro Python System Administration Lastly, Pro Python System Administration is a book that ties back into the realm of software developers. This book really shows off the versatility that Python has to offer. My engineering sensibilities tend to select this scripting language before calling upon the perl or ruby interpreter, and Pro Python System Administration shows why Python is as powerful as either of those languages while at the same time maintaining great readability and logical flow. While I respect the Perl hackers out there, my brain has been racked by crusty legacy Perl code projects that took way too long to decipher exactly what the code was doing. Ruby is a happy medium between Perl and Python, but its module library is still growing and hasn't yet matched the volume and diversity of Perl or Python (but it's definitely getting there, with RubyForge leading the way).
Pro Python System Administration shows off some pretty slick Python-constructed applications, ranging from collecting and analyzing Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) data to analyzing performance data with a little help from the NumPy library. Author Rytis Sileika definitely knows the language and how to interface it to systems management tasks. However, I couldn't help but wonder how much of these scripts have already been written and organized by others. Indeed, a fair portion of the book is already incorporated in Zenoss Core, an extensible Python-based 'community edition' system and network monitoring solution. Still, it's helpful to know the basics in case the need for highly customized monitoring, log parsing and traversal or RESTful/SOAP calls need to be instantiated and processed.
Overall, the book does a fine job of connecting the network and systems with code, and the knowledge imparted is useful for developers, network and system administrators alike.
Title: Pro Python System Administration Author: Rytis Sileika Publisher: Apress ISBN: 978-1-4302-2605-5 Pages: 416 Price: $49.99

Immigration not among hundreds of bills filed Monday
Immigration not among hundreds of bills filed Monday
By Gary Scharrer | November 12, 2012
AUSTIN - Getting a running start on the upcoming legislative session, Texas lawmakers pre-filed hundreds of bills Monday, among them measures to put a moratorium on the state's high-stakes testing, ban texting while driving, eliminate straight-ticket voting for judges, and allow local school boards to post the Ten Commandments in classrooms.
Lawmakers also will debate a resolution calling for Texas voters to legalize casino gambling and slot machines.
Monday was the first day state lawmakers could file bills for the 83rd Texas legislative session that starts Jan. 8. Thousands of bills will be filed, but, typically, no more than a quarter pass into law.
Texas voters should decide whether to legalize casino gambling, said Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston, author of the measure.
"Clearly, we need the money," Ellis said, adding that many Texans travel to neighboring states where they can gamble in casinos legally.
Legalizing slot machines and opening up casinos also would "pressure those sleazy, eight-liners that are operating in every neighborhood throughout the state," Ellis said.

If lawmakers approve HB 51 next spring, local school boards could post a copy of the Ten Commandments "in a prominent location in a district classroom," taking effect for the 2013-14 school year.
The bill was filed by Rep. Dan Flynn, R-Van, who also filed legislation to place a temporary moratorium on high-stakes school testing. His bill would apply for the 2013-14 and 2014-15 school years.
Straight-ticket voting
School districts could suspend the state's testing system with approval from a district's board of trustees. Savings from not preparing and administering the state test would have to be spent on teachers or other education staff with direct contact with students or classroom materials.
Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, said he wants to end straight-ticket voting for judges because the political winds often determine the fate of a judicial candidate instead of qualifications.
"Most voters have no idea of who they are voting for, for judges," Patrick said.
Former Texas House Speaker Tom Craddick, R-Midland, filed legislation to ban texting while driving.
Lawmakers passed a similar statewide ban on texting while driving two years ago, but Gov. Rick Perry vetoed the bill, calling it government overreach.
About 20 Texas cities already have banned texting while driving in their communities.
Craddick's bill would pre-empt local ordinances that are inconsistent with the statewide ban on texting while driving, but cities could adopt restrictions more stringent than the proposed state law.
Several other lawmakers also filed texting-while-driving ban bills Monday.
"Driving around town or from Midland to Austin, I see so many drivers distracted by their phone," Craddick said. "These drivers are taking their eyes off the road and jeopardizing the safety of themselves and others. Writing a text or checking your messages is not worth injuring yourself or someone else. I believe a ban on texting while driving will help save lives."
The state's controversial business tax would be abolished if lawmakers approve bill by Sen. Craig Estes, R-Wichita Falls. His bill contemplates a Jan. 1, 2014, effective date but does not suggest how to replace the $4 billion a year revenue from the business tax that lawmakers changed in 2006 when they reduced school property taxes. Tax bills, however, must originate in the state House.
No immigration bills
Unlike two years ago, the first day for pre-filed bills did not produce any immigration-related legislation. State Rep. Debbie Riddle, R-Tomball camped out in the Capitol for two days in 2010 to get a low bill number for legislation targeting illegal immigration.
Phone calls to Riddle's office were not returned. Many state offices were closed for the Veterans Day holiday.
Republicans should not pursue immigration reform at the state level, particularly in the aftermath of election results showing a growing Latino turnout, immigration rights supporters said.
"They know it's going to kill them, but they do it anyway," said Luis Figueroa, a lawyer for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund.

Many UK households will have woken to freezing temperatures and grumbling relatives this morning and now the most common January irritations have been revealed.
Researchers from outdoors experts BillyOh.com have listed eleven of Brits' top winter annoyances, including a range of problems with the miserable weather at this time of year.
Having a good moan over a morning cuppa is a traditional British past-time and usual winter topics range from defrosting the car and dangerous paths to destructive winds and a constant stream of fireworks.
The forgetfulness of some Brits' councils and neighbours have also made the list of common seasonal grievances.
A spokesperson for BillyOh.com said: "Life has to plough on as normal through winter, despite the colder, damper air, shorter days and darker nights.
"But wintery conditions can cause their own unique set of irritations, especially once Christmas and the festive party season have come to an end."
Here is the BillyOh.com list of 11 of the most irritating things about winter:
1.Defrosting the car
Frosty weather means drivers must get out of bed earlier during the winter, to make sure they have enough time to scrape ice from their vehicles' frozen windscreens.
2.Constant fireworks
Most families will have joined in with Bonfire Night and New Year celebrations, but every winter in the UK there seems to be a nightly stream of bangs and whizzes from the 5th of November until deep into February, which scares pets and frustrates their owners.
3.Rubbish weather
Going out to the bins at 17:00 in pitch-black darkness and returning inside with frozen fingers and sodden slippers is a frustrating daily occurrence during a British winter.
4.Dangerous paths
During the UK's colder months, if backyard pathways aren't slick with wet fallen leaves, they'll probably be slippery from an overnight ice-covering anyway.
5.Destructive winds
Fallen fences and downed trees are a common, inconvenient and potentially dangerous occurrence in British gardens following winter storms.
6.Forgetting accessories
Remembering to take a coat, hat, scarf and gloves every time you leave the house is a challenge for many Brits – cold and wet extremities can be the trying consequence of forgetting them.
7.Slushy snow
It's all fun and games while snow is soft, but when the snowmen (or women) begin to melt away, lawns can turn to muddy quagmires more reminiscent of WWI battlefields.
8.Frozen gardens
Trying to get any gardening done with rock solid soil is a nightmare and it can sometimes take weeks to thaw.
9.Dry bodies
Too much time spent outside in wintery conditions can lead to chapped lips, cracked knuckles and dry skin.
10.Grit problems
One day the council will have run out of grit or forgotten your area and drivers will be skidding on the roads; when a truck does come, it will inevitably drive right in front and scratch all of your vehicle's paintwork.
11.Obnoxious Christmas decorations
Few things are more irritating during January than neighbours that still have hordes of neon reindeer and flashing Santas on their roof or garden; bonus points if ignorant festive decorations are still attacking the ears as well as the eyes.

Howdy folks from Dragoart.com. Last week I did a step-by-step tutorial of Kenny from South Park and got quite a few viewings. I have also received requests on doing a few more characters from the "Good Times With Weapons episode from South Park. So today I will show you how to draw my favorite character from – Eric Cartman from the "Good Time With Weapons" episode. Eric Cartman as known as Ninja Bulrog in this episode is absolutely the funniest character of all. "If Butters tells on us, we're gonna tell on you too, that's ninja code!" Every time I hear that line from him, It just makes me laugh so hard. I never get tired of this episode, and the "Fighting love" song. Cartman is definitely one of my favorite characters from South Park. He is also criticized for his shockingly politically incorrect and profane behavior. But Cartman has also been included on the list as one of the most iconic television and carton characters of all time. The shocking languages he says even upsets some South Park fans. I personally just think this is one of the wittiest funniest shows I have ever seen! So I hope all will have a good time drawing ninja Cartman. And I will see you all again soon!

What are those red equal-sign pictures that are popping up all over Facebook about? You can thank the Human Rights Campaign, a group that supports gay marriage, for the symbol.
If you haven't seen the equal signs yet, you likely will soon; people on Facebook are swapping out their profile pictures and using these red signs instead as the U.S. Supreme Court discusses gay marriage.
The HRC asked its followers just yesterday to show support in this way: "Make sure you wear red to show your support for marriage equality. And make your Facebook profile red too!" The Facebook profile photo idea has quickly gone viral.
The red equal sign has also been reimagined numerous times. Click here to see a photo gallery of some of them.

And on behalf of Stereophile, I'd like to thank Wes Phillips, Bob Deutsch, Jon Iverson, Stephen Mejias, and Jason Victor Serinus for all the work they put in, and the sleep they went without, to blog live from Home Entertainment 2006. Mikey Fremer and Kal Rubinson will also be covering the Show in their September issue columns.But most of all I'd like to thank the Showgoers, the exhibitors, the musicians and concert sponsors, Greg Nivens and his Show staff, Steve and his sound crew, and everyone who took part in the seminars for making this show the best ever!We are waiting for confirmation from the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago. But assuming all goes to plan, we will see you all at HE 2007 in the Windy City, the City by the Lake, the City of Big Shoulders!
Goodbye LA; on to HE 2007 in Chicago
And so we say goodbye to the Sheraton Gateway and the City of Angels. Home Entertainment 2006 was a good Show, with some great sounds. I echo Wes Phillips's sentiments below. In talking to people, I had a sense that we were all part of a community of individuals with much the same goals, if not always the same way of reaching them. The Show staff were unfailingly pleasant and efficient. The hotel's facilities served the needs of both exhibitors and attendees well—and by the last day of the show I actually figured out how to go from my room to the escalators without making at least one wrong turn!
>and by the last day of the show I actually figured out how to go from my room to the escalators without making at least one wrong turn!Same here.I love working with you guys. See you at the next show.
How will drayage be handled in Chicago? At HiFi 99 the unions and stuff cost exhibitors hundreds if not thousands of dollars - I heard stories about not being able to carry stuff to and from rooms. That's utter BS and makes it almost impossibly expensive for many. It is imperative that you ensure it will be easy and free or inexpensive for exhibitors to transport stuff, otherwise many will stay away. The cost of the rooms is prohibitive enough.Remember, the whole purpose of the show is to show many things of interest to audiophiles and music lovers and promote the high end - without the participation of local retailers and their manufacturers and distributors, the show would be a failure and there would be no point in holding it.
Chicago is indeed a union town, Brian, and there's not much we can do about that. But drayage is always a concern to us and we will work hard to ensure it works in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

Oh me oh my, what a lucky girl I am. This morning I had the honour and privilege of being invited to a very special brunch courteousy of Marie Claire South Africa and Sunglass Hut with the one and only, one of my favourite bloggers in the world Bryan Boy! It was at Salvation Cafe at 44 Stanley and it was perfect to say the least. The weather came to the party and so did the spring fashion and fashionistas of Joburg.
We ate, we bubblied and we basically had a very informal Q and A with Bryan about his blogging career, which in seven years, has made him one of the most respected in the blogging business. He told us the story of how he met his fave, Anna Wintour, how he got the Marc Jacobs bag named after him and the rest of his fabulous life. He is here to present the Best Blogger award at tomorrow's Marie Claire Prix d'Excellence de la Mode Awards. It was a pleasure to meet you Mr Beezy and was very honoured when you wanted to take a picture of me. Stay cool! Here's some of what went down!
|Bryan with Marie Claire editor, Aspasia Karras
|Bryan Boy and his fierce and famous dim lookers.
|Meeeee trying to act cool when inside I was doing cart wheels of joy!
|Fellow blogger and friend, Sandiso Ngubane
|If I could swap the blood that courses through my veins for some other liquid, it would most certainly be bubbly.
|I don't have a sweet tooth but this cheese cake was waving at me from the other side of the room.
|Sarah Badat and Sandiso Ngubane
|Love Sarah's little hip accessory...apparently from Sass Diva. Suprise surprise.
|Eish, I forget this lovely girl's name but she works for Edgars and she just looked fab.
|Marie Claire Fashion Director Sharon Armstrong and Editor Aspasia Karras. Aspasia is wearing Marion and Lindie.
|Bumping into my friend Mr Chang was the cherry on top.
|And I couldn't leave without snapping the forever looks awesome Dawood.
I am so blessed. Thank you to whoever looks after me in this universe. Now I have to get back to spreadsheets and serious work, write my column, hydrate and sleep because tomorrow's Awards and party is probably going to mimic the end of days.

US stocks pushed higher again this week following a somewhat better set of economic data that helped offset rising tensions over Ukraine.
The gains were not the year's most robust for a single week, but markets still finished in the black despite the occasional hiccup over Ukraine, where Russian forces have effectively taken control of Crimea, alarming the West.
"There's still a pretty decent upbeat feeling," BMO Global Asset Management market strategist Brent Schutte said.
The S&P 500 managed to close at record highs for three of the five days, finishing up 18.59 points (1 percent) to 1,878.04. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 131.01 (0.8 percent) to 16,452.72, while the tech-rich NASDAQ Composite Index tacked on 28.1 (0.65 percent) to 4,336.22.
Highlights in economic news included Friday's eagerly awaited US jobs report, which showed the economy added 175,000 jobs last month, a big improvement after the December and January reports disappointed.
Investors were also cheered by a better-than-expected rise in the Institute for Supply Management's (ISM) index of manufacturing activity, while the US Federal Reserve's beige book noted that the outlook in most of the country "remained optimistic" even as cold weather depressed economic activity.
On the downside, the ISM's index for activity in the services sector showed the slowest growth in three years. Still, analysts attributed much of the weakness to the weather.
"We're in a period where people are giving the economy the benefit of the doubt," Meeschaert Capital Markets president Gregori Volokhine said.
US investors continue to watch the burgeoning political crisis between Russia and the West over Ukraine that included threats by Russia to annex Crimea and by Russian gas giant Gazprom to halt deliveries to Europe.
However, Europe is "much more vulnerable" than the US to negative consequences from the crisis, Volokhine said.
Schutte said Ukraine is "in the back of the mind" of US investors, but not a major fear at this point.
"It's out there," Schutte said. "It does weigh in some shape or form, but I don't think it's such a huge thing that it's stopping people from investing."
In corporate news, supermarket chains Safeway and Albertsons announced plans to merge in a US$9.1 billion deal that will create a giant with more than 2,400 stores and 250,000 employees.
The deal comes as supermarkets face competitive pressures from WalMart and other discount stores at one extreme and from Whole Foods Market and other upscale names at the other. The changes in the competitive landscape have made possible deals like Albertsons-Safeway that would have gotten much tougher antitrust scrutiny 10 or 15 years ago, analysts said.
The shakeup in retail also prompted dramatic action from RadioShack, which announced plans to shutter 1,100 stores, or one-fifth of its total. The 67-year-old electronics retailer has seen traffic plummet as new competitors have emerged and as online sales have become more important.
In a similar move, office-supplies retailer Staples said it would shut 225 stores in North America by the end of next year.
Oil companies were also in the news. ExxonMobil shares tumbled after the oil giant trimmed its oil and gas production forecast in the wake of several troubled project start-ups. However, rival Chevron got a boost when a US judge handed it a victory in a long-brewing lawsuit over pollution in Ecuador. The US ruling, which will be appealed, found a US$9.5 billion judgement by an Ecuadoran court in favor of indigenous Ecuadoran groups was the result of fraud.

Would you like some haterade, courtesy of Comparative Anatomy?
Swing on over to Nailgun for a spell if you'd like a very long and mostly well-reasoned discussion of our 2010 music issue. (To quote Tracy Morgan at his finest: "So many words! It's like a Mos Def CD!") But if you're more into the left-field loony-bin rants, grab a cup of tea and settle in, because–- surprise!–- you're already in the right place.
First, there's the category 5 shitstorm in the reader comments under the article itself, wherein various usernames, some of dubious IP address origin, valiantly champion Comparative Anatomy, a local duo that prides themselves on wearing silly costumes (rabbit/chicken) while playing their instruments (bass/bass). So, the second-best chicken-suited band in town, basically. Special thanks here to Holly, Kevin, Matthew, and molokoultra for some especially great commentary; the award for zingiest one-liner thus far goes to Young Hecho, but by all means, everyone please give us more to consider.
And for a particularly majestic finish in the stupidity race, there's the post by the bird and bunny themselves on their MySpace blog; please do click through for comments there from their MySpace friends, who have names like "Self-Amputating Leg" and "Putrid Remains" and "Cheezface," but we'll archive it here for posterity since as we've seen before these things sometimes disappear.
After what was easily the WORST show we have ever played, ever, last night, I happened to catch something while just lazily looking around that made the old Puffers smile a bit. Here is the link before I continue:
The Hook is a local city paper in Charlottesville that has the usual this and that. Amongst the blather about local politics involving the construction of new parking garages, commentary on when Lady Gaga is coming to the arena, and heart-stopping articles on which restaurant has the best Mongolian chicken sticks, they usually have some mentioning of music in the form of show listings with short blurbs (which we've been in a number of times).
Now, before I continue, don't get me wrong, we honestly, seriously, don't give a freaking flying (insert something here to your choosing) whether or not we were mentioned in the article above. Seriously, whatever, I didn't even know about it until a good friend of ours, and probably the best noise/experimental musician in Charlottesville, showed us he happened to be briefly mentioned with one of the bands. Anyway, so the article is supposed to be about up-and-coming "bands to watch" in the area.
As you could expect, most of these bands are some form of really crappy and annoying punk, or some sort of variation on that 'independent' tag that's thrown around like pieces of shit in the monkey trees of the local music scene. So yeah, nothing surprising about that. What I did like, however, is that a little flame war is beginning that's shedding some light on actually how bad the music scene is in this area (at least the scene THEY decided to mention).
There is not a single mention of any of our local rap or metal artists whatsoever, including some people who have been around for years doing stuff that's leagues beyond any of the bands in this article (in terms of where they're going with it). So, apparently someone decided to start laying it out and mentioned the fact that they thought it was something of a travesty Comparative Anatomy wasn't mentioned in the article. Then someone else was happy that that someone mentioned us. At least we know that, in spite of the horrid display last night, our we're funny enough to get some attention in the hair mat of this place. Anyway, yeah that's it, maybe more flameage will spread and they'll put us in there or something so we can do a ridiculous interview. I will keep watching this link to see if anyone else says something. Make me laugh more.
We look forward to more of the same when we release this year's summer wedding issue.

Last month, we made the RTMP protocol specification available to everyone who wants to use it – for Free! We're really excited about the opportunities to add new data sources, communications, and media to new and existing applications in Flash.
You can now download the Adobe RTMP Spec for free here.
RTMP was first introduced in Flash Player 6 enabled by Flash Communication Server 1.0 (now called the Flash Media Server). This was also the time when audio and video capture was introduced in the player opening a new role for Flash player as a communication client.
The RTMP specification describes a protocol designed for multiplexing and packetizing multimedia transport streams including audio, video and data over the TCP protocol. RTMP is used today with Flash Media Server for many real-time applications such as our own Adobe Acrobat Connect, and for media delivery from major online media publishers like Hulu, Amazon or the BBC. It's also used inside Adobe LiveCycle Data Services ES for real time data push applications.
The RTMP specification is part of the Adobe Flash Platform and will join other open initiatives including SWF and FLV/F4V formats as part of the Open Screen Project with the goal of delivering a consistent experience for both developers and users across all devices. The protocol specification will help companies integrate new sources of audio, video and data into their projects and reach over 98% of connected computers and more than 800 million devices worldwide. The Adobe Flash Platform is used today to deliver approximately 80% of web video and can be updated faster than any technology today, reaching 74% market penetration 5 months after release.
The RTMP spec does not include any information about Adobe's secure streaming measures, such as RTMPe or SWF Verification – which continue to protect some of the internet's most valuable media content using Flash Media Server used by the top media publishers for the widest possible audience.
The specification documents how the RTMP protocol works, this will enable you to send and receive data from Flash Player or AIR. You can learn how to use the RTMP handshake, understand how the RTMP Chunk stream is formed, how RTMP command messages are created and the message formats. This information will let you leverage the client side ActionScript classes, NetConnection, NetStream, SharedObject and other s that today move data back and forth between Flash Player and Flash Media Server.
This specification does not include any binary or source code implementation of the RTMP protocol. To learn more about licensing binary or source RTMP libraries you can contact email@example.com.
So what happens for Flash Media Server? Adobe continues to innovate on top of RTMP with Flash Media Server software to help increase quality of service and real time interactivity with solutions like multi-bitrate (Dynamic Streaming), DVR technology, server side recording, network caching, data collaboration with a rich and easy to build platform that integrates and scales as big as you need it to. Flash Media Server will remain to be the right choice for customers who want to deploy scalable and secure streaming and collaboration services on the Adobe Flash Platform. The tight integration between Flash Player and Flash Media Server continues to make it the number 1 choice for facilitating secure interactive communication and highly scalable media delivery on the web.

Microsoft delivered its Kinect for Windows fall roadmap today, and among one of the most important things included in the announcement is that Kinect will get Windows 8 support on October 8.
On that date both the runtime and the SDK will be updated. That means in the event something goes awry, Microsoft will have ample time to fix it before the October 26 Windows 8 due date. It's not a huuuuuge deal, but its nice to know that this little experiment hasn't been forgotten and left out to pasture. [Microsoft via ZDNet]

Alleged Gang Member Has Pony Rental Business
Being a member of a violent gang and running a kids' party and pony rental business would hardly seem to be compatible career paths.
A Florida man may prove, however, that the two can be one and the same.
Dilbert Coreas, an undocumented immigrant from El Salvador, was arrested in Palm Beach County, Fla., on federal charges of reentering the country after deportation, according to a criminal complaint. He had previously been ordered deported from the country in 2012.
Detectives with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Gang Unit said they became interested in Coreas when they viewed photos uploaded on social media sites that suggested he was a member of the Mara Salvatrucha gang, a violent Central American gang also known as MS-13.
Coreas reportedly runs a kids' party rental business called " It'z a Kid'z World Party Planning and Rental," where pony rides can be had for $70 and bouncy houses for $85. Photos on Coreas' Facebook page show him posing with two ponies his company has available to rent.
According to the complaint, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Gang Unit monitored Coreas as he conducted numerous pony ride and bouncy house events in Palm Beach County.
In June 2009, Coreas was convicted on a charge of felony possession of cocaine with intent to sell, as well as felony tampering and resisting arrest.
The U.S. State Department currently lists MS-13 as a Transnational Criminal Organization. It is heavily involved in drug and weapons trafficking, human smuggling, money-laundering and murder for hire. MS-13 reportedly has a presence in the United States of upwards of 300 cities across 40 states.

A BBC classical music presenter has been arrested in Zimbabwe and, friends claim, suffered a dislocated shoulder while in police detention.
Petroc Trelawny was held for not having a work permit immediately after compering a music concert in the second city of Bulawayo on Thursday.
He slipped and fell while in police custody, causing a recurrence of a shoulder problem, a local organiser said, adding that Trelawny had been moved from his cell to hospital for surgery under anaesthetic on Saturday.
Zimbabwe's police stations and prisons are notorious for their inhumane conditions and allegations of beatings and torture. A recent parliamentary committee report found prisoners living in squalor with insufficient food, clothing, blankets, towels, soap or other basic necessities.
But Trelawny, who is in his 40s and presents the classical magazine programme Music Matters, Radio 3's evening topical drive-time show In Tune and Radio 3 Live in Concert, is said to be in "good spirits".
Bruce McDonald, administrator of the Zimbabwe Academy of Music, which is running a five-day festival in Bulawayo, said: "He was detained at city hall right at the end of a performance involving 500 children. The hall was full to capacity – 800 to 1 000 people. There were no police. It was gentleman from immigration who went up to him and said, 'We'd like to see you'."
McDonald continued: "He was detained and he had a bad fall. He put his shoulder out and today they're putting it back in under general anaesthetic. He told me that himself. He has a history of problems with that shoulder."
Asked if this raised concerns about police treatment, McDonald dismissed the suggestion, saying: "People come up with those theories. The police have been very helpful and everything is fine."
He added: "Good old Petroc, he's bounced back. I saw him earlier today [Saturday] and he was cheerful. He's due to fly out on Monday and I shouldn't think it's serious enough to stop that."
Among those attending the concert was the British ambassador, Deborah Bronnert, who has since visited Trelawny. She said only: "We know a British man in his 40s has been detained and we are providing consular assistance."
Trelawny, who lives in central London, was raised and educated in Cornwall. He joined Radio 3 in 1998 having begun his career at BBC Radio Devon as a reporter and presenter. At the age of 19 he hosted the station's major news programming.
A classical music expert, he has also featured extensively on BBC Two and BBC Four and contributed to the Spectator, Irish Times, Catholic Herald and BBC Music Magazine.
He was not attending the Bulawayo music festival in any BBC capacity. A spokesperson for the corporation said: "We are aware of the situation and hope it will be resolved as quickly as possible."
Crackdown on artists
Trelawny was tweeting from Zimbabwe last week. His most recent post, on May 23, said: "As dusk falls over Zim, 5 schools from Byo & Harare entertain in the Bulawayo Music Festivals opening pop concert."
For years unaccredited foreign journalists have run the gauntlet of possible arrest by president Robert Mugabe's government, but Trelawny is believed to be the victim of a recent crackdown on artists performing without work permits.
Bulawayo-based Magodonga Mahlangu, who has been arrested nine times and won international awards for her women's rights activism, warned: "Bulawayo police station is not a good place. Any police station in Zimbabwe is not a good place. You can be beaten by other inmates. Officers don't protect inmates and can harass you themselves. All sorts of things can happen to you."
David Coltart, Zimbabwe's education, sport, arts and culture minister, and a member of the Movement for Democratic Change, said in an email on Saturday: "I am distressed to hear of his detention and of this apparent injury as I am aware of the good work that Mr Trelawny has done in the United Kingdom and elsewhere to promote the Zimbabwe Academy of Music.
"Whilst Zimbabwean law must be fully respected by all, the circumstances and manner of this arrest will damage our efforts to portray Zimbabwe in a more positive light and I question why an apparent breach of law had to be dealt with in this manner."
Coltart, currently in the United States, added: "There is no government ordered crack down on artists and if there is it is not sanctioned by my ministry. I have requested through my ministry that every effort be made by the police to handle this manner justly, in particular through the granting of police bail, so that he be released as soon as possible and appear in court in due course.
"On my return I intend ordering an inquiry into this. It is harmful to Zimbabwean interests to have people like Mr Trelawny arrested at what should be uplifting occasions which boost the morale of Zimbabweans and improve the image of Zimbabwe abroad.
"The arrest of Mr Trelawny has no doubt cast a shadow over the entire festival and I want to know how this happened so that this type of damaging action can be avoided in future. I will also want to know from all concerned why the demands of Zimbabwean law and legal due process could not have been respected in a more just and humane manner." – guardian.co.uk © Guardian News and Media 2012
