So Easter is fast approaching and I've only just found the time to fix my nails. I don't really feel like typing at the moment so I'll just let you indulge in the photos if "indulge" is the right word.
I've used OPI Banana Bandana for the chicks but I kind of wish that I had something thats a little more opaque. But otherwise I'm happy.
It's meant to be an Easter egg on my thumb. But the square tip has totally destroyed that.
Happy Easter everyone!

At this point in the MAcc program, students are finishing midterm exams and are in the midst of first-round interviews for full-time positions at public accounting firms. The first seven-week term of the program been certainly been a whirlwind, so this is a good opportunity to sit back and reflect on all that has been happening as well as share some advice for future students.
Here are my 5 Recruiting Rs:
#1: Reflect
Use the opportunity of upcoming interviews to think about yourself and your experiences. Not only are these reflections useful to answer behavioral questions during interviews ("tell me about a time when…"), but they are also incredibly helpful when having conservations with recruiters at pre-interview recruiting events. It helps you to articulate your story and communicate to others what you are looking for in a company.
#2 Research
Most know to research a company before an interview. However, it's not just memorizing the stats and figures on the company's website that is going to land you the job. You have to utilize your network to reach out to current and former employees that can help paint a picture of what it's like to work at their company. Having these conversations and personal connections in the back of your head during interviews will help you immensely.
#3 Relay
Don't let your research and preparations go to waste because you get nervous during your interview and forget to relay what you know. It's important to be excited about the position, have educated questions to ask, and show that you put time and care into preparing for the interview.
#4 Relax
Remember to stay calm and think of the whole recruiting process as a chance to get to know people and a company. It's all simply a string of conversations that will help determine if you're the right fit for the position.
#5 Rejoice
At the end of recruiting season, it's time to rejoice! Hopefully you have received an offer (or multiple) and you are pleased with the results. Remember that things have a way of working out. Recruiting is a mutual selection process, and you should end up where you're supposed to be!

Razorbacks Lose in Overtime at Georgia
Hogs' road woes continue in 66-61 defeat
For the third game in a row, the Razorback men's basketball team was taken to overtime against a conference opponent.
But just like so many times in recent years, Arkansas could not outlast an opponent on the road, losing to Georgia, 66-61, at Stegeman Coliseum Saturday.
The loss dropped Arkansas to 12-5 overall and 1-3 in Southeastern Conference play. In their last 22 road games, the Razorbacks have won only twice.
The two teams were tied at 52 at the end of regulation, but Georgia (9-7, 3-1 SEC) gained a 14-9 scoring advantage in the extra frame.
Senior forward Coty Clarke led Arkansas with 13 points on 5-of-9 shooting, and Fayetteville native Fred Gulley III scored 12, including 3-for-4 from 3-point range.
But the Razorbacks shot only 31.8 percent from the floor as a team, and were out-rebounded 56-34. Georgia made up for their 31 percent shooting day with 24 offensive rebounds.
A 3-pointer by sophomore Anthlon Bell gave Arkansas a 44-40 lead with 9:01 remaining in regulation, but the lead changed three times afterwards before two free throws by Rashad Madden tied the game at 52 with 1:45 left.
Arkansas will play their next game on the road Wednesday night against Tennessee (11-6, 2-2 SEC).
For coverage of the game, tune in at 6:30 for the Hogs Hoops Tip-Off Show with Mike Jacques and Josh Taylor, followed by the Razorbacks and Volunteers at 7:00 only on 40/29.

Program Overview
Today's successful businesses need to base decisions on expert analysis of large volumes
of data. The need for successful graduates with a strong analytical background and
skills – MBA graduates in particular – has never been higher and is expected to increase
over the coming years.
The Online Certificate in Business Analytics is an intensive online program designed for business professionals and graduate students who want to transform terabytes of data into useful and timely business intelligence. Whether your focus is on marketing, operations, finance, strategy, international business or human resources, you will learn how to use data to make knowledge-driven business decisions.
This four-course (12 unit) program is taught by San Jose State University College of Business faculty. Each course is delivered over an eight-week period. In order to complete the certificate, you must earn a minimum GPA of 3.0 on the program as a whole. Only three units of "C" and 0 units of less than "C" coursework can be applied toward a certificate. Only three units of an entire program can be repeated (and can be repeated a single time only). If a course is repeated, both grades will be used in the computation of program GPA.
You can complete the courses asynchronously. Therefore, our program is designed with a flexible schedule ideal for working professionals. You can begin the certificate in the fall or spring semester and complete it in less than one calendar year.
And you can take these courses separately from the certification program, as well.
The four courses include:

Newport Selected as Volvo Ocean Race Stopover
Governor Lincoln D. Chafee, State Leadership, Sail Newport and Volvo Ocean Race CEO Announce Newport Stop for 2014 � 2015
RaceGovernor Lincoln D. Chafee and Volvo Ocean Race CEO Knut Frostad announced today that Newport, Rhode Island will host its first Volvo Ocean Race after winning a stop on the route of the 12th edition of sailing's premier round-the-world challenge in 2014-15. The Governor and Mr. Frostad were joined for the announcement by House Speaker Gordon Fox, Senate President M. Teresa Paiva Weed, Executive Director of Sail Newport Brad Read, and state agency leadership.
"It gives me great pleasure and pride to welcome the Volvo Ocean Race to beautiful Rhode Island for the first time," said Governor Lincoln D. Chafee. "We have made significant strategic land and marine infrastructure improvements at Fort Adams State Park, paving the way for a new era of racing in Rhode Island and setting the stage for the world-class events we continue to host. We had a positive experience with the America's Cup World Series last summer, and I look forward to welcoming the Volvo Ocean Race to Rhode Island. These large-scale sailing events draw impressive numbers of visitors to our state - visitors who make valuable contributions to our economy."
The Race will reach Newport, one of the world's sailing capitals, in April or May 2015 after a stop in Itaja��_, Brazil. Newport is the last stop before teams will sail across the Atlantic for the final legs around Europe. The Volvo Ocean Race has visited the U.S. in every edition since 1997-98, but despite Newport's great sailing heritage, it has never before had Host Port status.
"I'm delighted to announce that we will finally be bringing the world's greatest offshore sailing event to one of the world's great sailing cities," said Volvo Ocean Race CEO Knut Frostad. "It's about time the Race came to the city of Newport, and we are looking forward to a real festival that will delight and inspire sailing fans and those who are new to the sport."
"State officials, business leaders and our sailing communities all worked together to bring the next Volvo Ocean Race to Rhode Island. This is an exceptional sailing competition, and Rhode Island will be ready when the event sails into Newport in 2015," said U.S. Senator Jack Reed.
"The Volvo Ocean Race's decision to include Rhode Island in this world-renowned event is a testament to our great sailing tradition, and will bring much-needed tourism and revenue to the state," said U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, who worked with his colleagues in the RI Congressional delegation to support the state's bid. "This is big, and I congratulate Governor Chafee, the City of Newport, and Brad Read at Sail Newport for their success on this great news."
"Tourism will always be a major factor in the growth of our beautiful state and this race promises to bring economic activity, while putting Rhode Island on an international stage," said Congressman Langevin.
"I join all Rhode Islanders in celebrating today's announcement that the 2014-2015 Volvo Ocean Race will include a stopover in the City of Newport," said Congressman Cicilline. "This event will give us the opportunity to showcase the natural beauty of our state to the entire world and will provide real economic benefits for the hardworking men and women across Rhode Island."
"This exciting sailing event will generate great economic activity for Rhode Island. I am a strong advocate for taking full advantage of the wonderful natural resources that exist in our Ocean State, and marketing our world-class sailing history makes tremendous sense. Fans of the sport will fill our hotel rooms and restaurants and give our economy a real boost," said Speaker Gordon Fox.
President of the Senate M. Teresa Paiva Weed said, "It's exciting to have another major race select Newport as a destination. This is an important economic development announcement for our state. The investments we have made in Fort Adams continue to make Rhode Island a world-class destination, increasing tourism and jobs for Rhode Islanders."
"The Volvo Ocean Race is one of the premiere sailing events in the world. We look forward to welcoming the sailors, the sponsors and particularly the fans of this great race to our magnificent port," said Brad Read, Executive Director of Sail Newport. "We are one of the top 10 ports in the world for sailing, and I am incredibly proud to be associated with ports like Auckland, New Zealand; the resort ports of Recife and Itajai in Brazil; Gothenburg in Sweden; and the other, soon-to-be-named ports of call for the 2015 Volvo Ocean Race. With the race working its way around the world, it will build to a crescendo as it arrives in Newport, R.I. We can't wait."
Rhode Island is known as the Ocean State, and for over 50 years, Newport was the home of the America's Cup. The city hosted a successful stop on the America's Cup World Series in 2012, with 65,000 people visiting over the four-day racing period.
Newport, a renowned New England tourist destination, is the sixth Host Port for the Volvo Ocean Race 2014-15 to be announced so far. The Race will start in Alicante, Spain and makes its first stop at Recife in north east Brazil. Later, the teams will race to Auckland in New Zealand before rounding Cape Horn and making a second Brazilian stop in Itajai and then heading to Newport.
The Race will finish in the Swedish city of Gothenburg. The remaining stopovers on the 2014-15 route will be revealed over the coming weeks.

Yale Report Explores Environmental Impact of Trade
The Yale Center for Environmental Law & Policy has issued a report titled, Exploring Trade and the Environment: An Empirical Examination of Trade Openness and National Environmental Performance. I am pleased to say that FedEx sponsored this report, since the issues of both trade and environmental sustainability are of great importance to us. This study came about as a result of our sponsorship of the 2010 edition of the Yale Center's annual Environmental Performance Index, an analysis that measures the environmental performance of 163 countries.
I will not go into the report here, but an intriguing point noted in their press release, however, is the following:
"One notable finding is that a subset of developing countries, such as China, India, and Mexico, have experienced trade growth while also decreasing their greenhouse gas emissions per unit of GDP."
This is encouraging, and it tends to support the idea that trade, and the economic growth that goes with it, increases the capacity of countries to improve their environmental performance. It also reminds me of our work on Access, which includes a great deal of data analysis. What is Access? Well, taking directly from our Access site:
"Access, put simply, is the ability to connect. Access is powered by anything that makes it easier for people and businesses to connect with each other — whether it's a smartphone or a computer or the ability to ship a package overnight to anywhere in the world. When Access expands, it empowers people with the ability and confidence to improve their current conditions and future prospects. Access creates new opportunities, accelerates and simplifies global connections and changes what's possible."

Testing API Business Hub APIs with Curl
You will learn
You have already discovered what the API Business Hub is and learned how to test it on their site. In this tutorial, you will learn how to use Curl to test REST APIs locally on your machine.
If you ever need to get back to the API Business Hub and can't remember how to get there from SAP Cloud Platform, you can always just go to
To use one of the APIs outside of the API Hub, you will need to get an application key. The SAP API Business Hub provides you with a default key to test against their sandbox. To get to your API key, find the key icon in the top right corner of the page. Click on the key icon.
In the pop-up window, you will find your API Key. Click the Copy to Clipboard button.
Copy you application key into a text editor. You will need it later. Close the API key window once you have your API key.
In the User Management API, view the details of the
GET /User method. The SAP API Business Hub provides you with some starter code in a variety of languages for each API. Click the Generate Code button at the top of the method definition.
A pop-up window will appear. The API call starter code is available in a couple different languages like JavaScript and Swift. You will be using the Curl code in the this example.
Select Curl and then Copy to Clipboard.
In same text editor where your API key is located, paste in the sample Curl code. There is a space to add in your API Key to the generated code. Replace
<API_KEY> with your API key.
Copy the updated code. In a terminal or command line window, paste in the code.
Hit Enter to run the command. It may take a few seconds before data is seen on your screen. If this is successful, it will return a data set of about 650 users. Use the
CTRL+C to stop the command from running.
New to Curl?: If you are new to Curl or are running into issues where your command line is saying the command curl does not exist, please visit the Curl website. The Curl website contains documentation about client-side URL transfers and how to install it on your machine.
Remember the parameters you set when testing in the API Business Hub? Try adding in the
$top parameter here. It's a good thing to note that
$ is not allowed in a URL and can be encoded with
NOTE: It may be easier to make edits to your Curl code in the text editor rather than directly in the command line.
Stuck? Move on to the next step.
To add the
$top parameter to your API call, at the end of the URL, add the following code.
As mentioned earlier, the
$ character is not allowed in URLs. You need to use the ASCII encoded version of the character.
Copy the updated code from your text editor and run it in your command line.
After your command line prints out 5 results, it should stop running.
If you get a curl: no match error, try wrapping your URL in single quotes.
Now add in the 2nd parameter for
$select. You only want the
lastName, and
jobTitle for the top 5 users. You can delaminate values in the select array using a comma(,). However, a comma is not a character allowed in a URL. The ASCII encoded value is
The encoding for the second, select parameter would look like the following.
If you just add in the above line and try to run the code, you will find it does not return the expected result. The
& character indicates to the command line that a new command in coming. You need the command line to interpret the
& as part of the URL. To do so, you need to add single quotes(') around the URL.
Copy and run the updated code. If you updated your code successfully, you should see only 5 results with only 3 fields shown for each result.

Cubs to begin new era in new spring home
First-year manager Renteria gets first look at club in state-of-the-art complex
MESA, Ariz. -- On Wednesday, the Cubs officially opened their new $84 million Spring Training facility with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Several pitchers and catchers already have gotten to work ahead of Thursday's report date.
Edwin Jackson and Chris Rusin both threw side sessions on Thursday as well as Jason Hammel, whose signing was expected to be officially announced later in the day. The Cubs are expected to add Hammel and free agent James McDonald to the roster.
New manager Rick Renteria will address the players on Friday.
"He seems like he's ready to go," Jackson said of Renteria, who takes over after Dale Sveum was dismissed. "He's excited about being the manager of the team and he can see the potential the team has. I'm sure he's ready to implement his ways of managing to help us have a winning season and help us succeed on the baseball field."
Several pitchers, including Jackson, have been holding informal sessions at the team's facility with pitching coach Chris Bosio, who begins his third season with the Cubs. They may find themselves acting as tour guides as they show off the new facility to the latecomers. There's plenty to see.
The state-of-the-art complex includes a two-level gym, hydrotherapy pools, a theater for meetings, basketball nets and a ping-pong table. There are two clubhouses -- one for the Major League players and another for the Minor Leaguers. In the past, the two were separate, with the Minor Leaguers at Fitch Park and the Major League players beginning workouts there, then moving down the street to HoHoKam Stadium.
Will all the bells and whistles help the team? Time will tell. Last season, Cubs pitchers ranked 12th in ERA in the National League, with Travis Wood and Jeff Samardzija among the top 16 in innings pitched, both reaching 200 for the first time in their careers. The Chicago bullpen had the worst record in the NL (21-31) and compiled a 4.04 ERA.
Samardzija, Jackson, and Wood are set for the rotation. Cactus League games will be used to determine Nos. 4-5, and the candidates include Rusin, Jake Arrieta, Carlos Villanueva and Justin Grimm.
Renteria and Bosio will get their first look at new closer Jose Veras, who has an improved support cast in righties Pedro Strop, Hector Rondon and Blake Parker, and lefties James Russell and Wesley Wright.
There are plenty of questions to be answered. Can Jackson rebound from a season in which he led the NL in losses?
"As an athlete, when you have a season like I had last year, it makes you more eager to start the season up," Jackson said. "That itch comes a little quicker. You're more excited and ready to perform the way you know you can perform."
Is Arodys Vizcaino healthy? The right-hander, acquired from the Braves in the Paul Maholm deal in July 2012, has been slow to recover from Tommy John surgery. He was pitching at the Cubs' Dominican academy this winter. Where does he fit?
The Cubs need to assess some of the new additions this offseason, including lefty Jonathan Sanchez, a 13-game winner with the Giants in 2010. Oak Park, Ill., native Brian Schlitter, 28, pitched for the Cubs in 2010, missed all of 2011 with an injury, and last season, posted a 3.24 ERA in 34 games at Triple-A Iowa.
Another bullpen arm that could be a factor in June is Kyuji Fujikawa, who had Tommy John surgery last June, but has been throwing off flat ground in Arizona.
"He's looking like he's ahead of the curve a little bit," Bosio said of Fujikawa. "I know we'll take our time with him."
In his last session, Fujikawa threw 25 pitches, and 20 were for strikes.
Renteria doesn't have to spend much time worrying about his catcher. Welington Castillo had a solid first season as the regular, batting .274 in 113 games.
Position players report on Tuesday, and the first full workout will be the next day. The clubhouse staff will be busy as tour guides as players try to find their way around the new complex.
The Cubs broke ground on July 11, 2012, at the 140-acre site, which was formerly the Riverview Golf Course. Workers were hustling this week to finish painting and primping and unpacking boxes. The new ballpark, now known as Cubs Park, can seat 14,000-15,000, and includes a left-field party deck and right-field berm area. The first game will be Feb. 27 against the D-backs.
Fans can watch the workouts. Parking is available off Cubs Way, which is at the western edge of the complex off Rio Salado Parkway, near Highway 101.

I have a BBAin Accounting from a state school; and a JD from a 4tier law school.I am a Licensed Tx attorney and I am finding it hard to get a job/contacts. The past year has been ridiculous for me. I am now thinking about going into a Tax LLM program, to try to rectify my mistake of attending a 4T law school (which was only an issue after I graduated). I have had several internships (including at the FTC), but I remain unable to find a job. I don't want to incur additional loans but I know that if there's no pain, there's no gain. I got admitted to a 1 tier law school for its tax llm program. In the latest rankings it was in the top 20, yet I'm still not sure if it's a worthwhile investment. However, I remain jobless and my student loan reps are stalking me. With no job, job prospects, is it advisable to incur the additional debt, without a guarantee that it will change my standing?

The Merit of Drawing Well - In Your Own Way
Fortune magazine, under the art direction of Leo Leonni (there's that name again) had some of the most progressive illustration of the 1950's both on its covers and as interior content. Even more remarkable for a staid business and industry publication, Fortune regularly included a portfolio section showcasing the work of a specific artist. In November 1951, Fortune presented the remarkable Parisian, Raymond Savignac.
From the accompanying article:
Quiet, introverted Raymond Savignac is the author of the most flamboyant and extroverted posters in Europe. He is not a frustrated painter; nor does he suffer any delusions that he has prostituted his talents. His art is art for posters' sake.
Art critics and poster fiends the world over have been charmed by his delightful humor, his unorthodox imagination, and his unmistakably personal style. (emphasis mine) What is more important, French manufacturers are buying his non-commissioned posters.
That, my friends, is how you draw a ham well.
Savignac refused to draw happy consumers enraptured by the client's product. In the words of Charles T. Coiner, he refused to draw 'squirrels'.
To U.S. admen, continues the article, who know that most commercial art is conceived, controlled, and invariably changed by art directors, writers, account executives, and clients, the idea of an independent, self-starting poster artist may sound shockingly foreign.
No kiddin'! I would venture to guess it sounds pretty outlandish to most illustrators as well. I'm in the middle of an assignment right now (yes, its a ham), and the client has just about sucked all the flavour out of it, believe me. The sad thing is, the changes are largely inconsequential, based on (a lack of) personal taste, but they have eradicated much of the charm and interest from the piece. But anyway, enough whining from me -- back to our story...
Savignac said, "The man on the street walks with his eyes turned to the inside; fixed on his torments and passions. Only a scandal can turn him away from himself and confer on him a certain altruism. The scandals of the street range from the pickpocket, to the fire, to the crime, etc... The poster is a visual scandal."
"If I express myself with gags, puns, and graphic clowning, it is first of all because I like that, and secondly because the man on the street is so bored with his daily routine that I believe advertising has the duty to entertain him."
What a breath of fresh air! Imagine, an artist who happily chose to employ his creativity in the service of promoting the most mundane and commercial of products (meat extract, soap, zippers, etc.) and circumnavigated the traditional power structure of the client/ad agency relationship to directly engage the manufacturer and the public with his art.
Some might suggest there was a lot of luck involved in Savignac's success. That is the lazy, self-serving artist's attitude.
There was a clear understanding on Raymond Savignac's part that his art must addressed the needs of the client, and that success lay down the path of clever concepts drawn well in his own way.
Again from the article:
In this turbulent atmosphere of intellectualism, Savignac posters are like a fresh breeze loaded with the smell of garlic and good rosé. They are simple, catchy, memorable. They have the directness of children's drawings, the humor of a Fratellini clown, the simplicity of a trademark.
Just give any of these gay posters a quick look and then try to forget it. Even better, try to avoid looking at them altogether and you will see how hard it is to escape Savignac's visual scandals.

Thanx for your insight, Leif - as always! I think the salient point is that good communication is what it's all about - sadly, many of today's underdrawn, over-rendered digital illos make lottsa noise but have little to say.ReplyDelete
A quick anecdote: years before the Simpsons, but back when he was already one of the most insightful and funniest social commentators in print, I met Matt Groening. I showed him my latest airbrushed Iron Man extravaganza and he kinda whinced and said that he'd always wanted to do superheroes, but all he could draw were his crappy rabbits!
I was quite taken aback, and told him I wished I had his amazing ability to edify and amuse with just a few deft strokes. We shook on that, and then he did me a terrific sketch of Bongo with a cape, and I did him one of Binky as Iron Man!
That's a great story - and excellent commentary. Ultimately I think it does come down to good communication - in concept and execution. And your example of Matt Groening is really ideal! Who would even want to see an overwrought Matt Groening drawing? His genius is in his writing and grungy cartoon style. The results are always perfect!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.
My buddy Rich sent this comment via email and has agreed to allow me to copy and paste it here. It is relevent, I think, that Rich is both an advertising AD and an artist:ReplyDelete
I must admit that I don't read your blog that often, but when I do, I sincere appreciate your well researched topics and your intelligences and extensive knowledge.
You are multi- talented, dude!
I agree with you Lief, that the advertising business has grown way to much for it's own good! Part of the problem I have noticed, is that there are basically
two types of people in advertising, those that are in advertising to do business, and those that are in the business of advertising.
Savignac blended creativity, design and illustration together beautifully. He would have made a great C.D. if he could have put up with the B.S.ReplyDelete
Briggs is an example of the very best of well edited literal illustration. Savignac is an example of the very best in highly stylized simplistic illustration. They both require taste, talent and sophistication, and they both certainly have an equally important place in commercial art.
Ken Steacy's comments in his first paragraph is sooo true in my opinion. Thanks for pointing out and clarifying "over rendered-computer illos "so eloquently... I could never quite put my finger on what annoyed me about so many computer illustrations I see.

Well, Savignac is a real worldwide recognized master and I appreciate his presence here in this ham-driven discussion. Masters of drawing like him, Steinberg or more contemporarily, Michel Quarez and Dan Perjovschi are not that opposite to Norman Rockwell standars!ReplyDelete
Well, that exactly has been my point all week, 40jos. But since you raise it again, why not elaborate for the benefit of those who don't see that? :^)ReplyDelete
- Anonymous3:11 PM
Leif: you have already elaborate the issue now. Lots of samples and poignant comments. It´s been a real pleasure sharing this ham.ReplyDelete
But, gentlemen, if I could choose, I'd go for the option never to see a Matt Groening drawing again.ReplyDelete
To make myself sure, I've just checked a few of his cartoons from the 80s. Yup, his writing is funny and worth re-reading, but the drawings contributed nothing, in my eyes.
Savignac is, in so many ways, a very different artist.
Let's start from the premise that it all comes down to good communication. What does a good communication consist of, and what would be the adequate literature to consult? On the second question, perhaps "Getting to Yes" would be a good start. On the first question, one should be wary of showing himself as a brilliant communicator all too quickly, in order to avoid complacence and entrenchment in formulas. Communication is about people, and its always partly an adventure. I guess so.
- Anonymous5:40 PM
Oh yeah, I love Savignac's deceptively simple work.ReplyDelete
Brilliant mixture of design, illustration, and CONCEPT.
Savignac's work always leaves me feeling REFRESHED, and that may be my single favorite quality in illustration/design of that era.
I'd also like to give Ken props for pointing out the problem of "today's underdrawn, over-rendered digital illos (that) make lottsa noise but have little to say."
That's great insight, Ken.
Thanks Leif.
Oohhh no, Traven; I'm not going down that path! It leads to the Moebius Loop of trying to quantify the parameters of "good art" vs. "bad art". I leave those debates to my friend David Apatoff! ;^)ReplyDelete
Harley; I love how you put it... that Savignac's work leaves you feeling refreshed. I wish I had said that!ReplyDelete
Bravo! :^)
- Anonymous9:06 AM
Savignac's approach to the commercial art game was iconoclastic. His vision, coupled with an admirable audacity are inspiring.ReplyDelete
Thanks Leif, your blog is a nice daily grounding...
- Anonymous1:17 PM
Happy to share your enthusiasm for Savignac. I was very lucky to meet him in 1998. He realized a poster for "Le Havre 99". As a PR, I was promoting this event and I became friend with Savignac and his charming wife. He very kindly offered me several of his original works which are a permanent joy.ReplyDelete

Jalopnik pals and inveterate car freaks over at Axis of Oversteer just reminded us this beauty is one of their reader's unique takes on the Porsche SUV. Here's more from them:
Extra details sure to make Porsche polishers mad: both that gt3 and AxisCG' 997 gt2 have rear seats and seat belts installed. They are not race cars so why not get maximum utility out of them?,,, or at least that's how those two sold it to their significant others. Heroic stuff
Both are daily driven btw even in winter.

Creating a Custom Color Selection Dialog
Posted by Oto Spal
Desktop-as-a-Service Designed for Any Cloud ? Nutanix Frame
Environment: Win32 API (no MFC)
This is a GPL/LGPL color picker demo based on a custom color selector. I coded it as a part of a Win32 server that I use in my graphics apps. It's pure Win32 API C++ and it should compile with VC++ 6.0. For your convenience, there are precompiled binaries in the 'bin' folder.
To Implement the Picker
- Build 'server_win.lib' and 'server_util.lib' (with the appropriate DLLs).
- Include 'server_win.h' and 'server_util.h' into your source code.
- Make a reference to the picker's global instance:
- Call the picker where you want it to appear:
"c_colorpick& <yourpicker> = colorpick;"
"COLORREF rgb = <yourpicker>.getcolor(<handle to owner window>);"The function above returns -1 when 'Cancel' is pressed.
To Get the Picker's Settings
- Declare an instance of color-info structure:
- When the picker returns, obtain the above values by calling:
- Then you can save these values into a file so that all settings can be loaded when the app starts again. How it could be done is shown in the "bool writeini()" function in 'colpick_main.cpp'.
"_colorinfo <yourinfo>;"This structure will hold the color space type, palette saturation range, and custom colors.
To Initialize the Picker to the Last-Saved Settings
- Load the file you`ve saved in the previous section and fill in the <yourinfo> structure.
- Before you call the picker, make a call:
- Your picker should be initialized. (For details, look at "bool readini()" and "WinMain()" in 'colpick_main.cpp'.)

During an appearance Saturday afternoon with the California Cadet Corps in Orange County, Gov. Jerry Brown took a swipe at legislative Republicans -- not for their policies but for their failure to show what he likes to call "California loyalty." He did this by suggesting that the cadets, who serve California, could be a model for Republicans.
The governor said: "People are having a hard time deciding what our common purpose is. I see in our California Cadet Corps a training of our future leaders, leaders that rise up above their own narrow selfish interests and think about the state and the country first."
That may sound uncontroversial -- and a Democratic governor swiping at the GOP isn't news -- but it's the wrong thing for Brown to say, for three reasons:
U.S. & World
1. It's holier-than-thou and un-gubernatorial. The legislative Republicans who oppose Brown's plan are doing so because they don't think it's right for California. Yes, it's frustrating that they won't compromise or offer a plan of their own -- but that's a question of political tactics. I'm quite sure that Republicans love California as much as Democrats, perhaps for different reasons. Disagreement on policy and budgets is not a test of loyalty. Republicans may be wrong, but they're not disloyal. And it's unfair of Brown to suggest otherwise.
2. Brown should worry about being hoist on his own petard. If the budget debate becomes a question of California loyalty, it's easy to criticize the governor too. Those of us who think that California needs top-to-bottom constitutional reform see the governor's budget as a politically cautious proposal that can't get the job done because it fails to address the systemic budget problems that create big deficits. Translate that into the language of loyalty, and one could say that Brown is putting political caution and the polls above what's best for California. Does this make the governor disloyal?
3. The last reason is the most important: Californians' ties to the idea of California are relatively weak. Our state is more like a country, and thus California as an idea isn't clearly defined. We're not all Badgers or Tar Heels. We don't drive the same roads or go to the same schools or watch the same TV stations. We're a collection of regions.
The best parts of Brown's budget proposal -- his efforts to devolve money and authority from the state to local governments -- recognizes that fact. Decisions should be made on the local level because that's where Californians' strongest loyalty lies. If Brown wants to talk about loyalty, he should talk about our need to be loyal to our local communities -- and to each other -- rather than to the state.

Puddles Pity Party
Sad clown, golden voice
Sept. 21 & 22, 2018
7:30 p.m. // Discovery Theatre
The terms "unique" and "one-of-a-kind" are often overused, but when describing a Puddles Pity Party show, they're an understatement. The 7-foot-tall clown sings with a beautiful baritone, mixing melodramatic anthems and comedic hijinks, without a single hint of irony. Puddles shot to stardom when he teamed up with Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox for an epic version of Lorde's hit "Royals," which has a staggering 23 million views, and increased his fandom on "America's Got Talent." The Boston Globe gushes, "It seems like a parody. But when Puddles opens his mouth to sing, it's beautiful. Operatic." Puddles has captivated audiences worldwide and sold out his first show in Anchorage in 2017. If you're into truly original performances, you shouldn't miss "Puddles Pity Party." No joke.
Like Nothing You've Seen Before
A soft-hearted, 7-foot-tall crooner clown
A profoundly open mind and your expectations in check
Come to All Access, a V.I.P. evening of food, wine, and music,, for a special guest performance by Puddles Pity Party on Thursday, Sept. 20.
Tickets start at $32 with a subscription of any 3 or more shows. Tickets for just this show start at $40.25.

The Danger of Copying Pedigrees
Now, I am not in a position to determine whether she was right or wrong about her relationship with that particular ancestor or to pass judgment on the merits of the DNA study, but when you copy a pedigree from an online family tree with the assumption that it is at all accurate, you are asking for trouble. Even if the file has some sources and you check some or all of the sources, you still run the risk that somewhere in the file, the wrong person was chosen.
Of course, you may make the same mistake yourself. In fact, any of us might have put a defective file online. That is a fact of the genealogist's life. There is always a possibility of error in all pedigrees. I recently had the same experience myself. I had added a line to one of my Mayflower ancestors, but because I had not kept up with the current state of the research on that particular person, I did not know that more recent evidence had shown the previous information to be inaccurate and had found a more believable spouse for the Mayflower passenger. In genealogy, all conclusions are tentative pending further research.
Just today, someone talked to me about downloading a pedigree from New.FamilySearch.org. They explained the efforts they would go through to assure that the information was correct. But I still question the advisability of incorporating other's lines wholesale, without some careful analysis of every relationship. It is always advisable to cultivate a healthy skepticism when it comes to research. I find it all too common that researchers accept other's conclusions, sometimes without question, as in, grandmother was a lifelong genealogist, she had to be right.
The work of others can be sourced and valuable. For example, going back to my Mayflower ancestor, I am not in a position to argue with the General Society of Mayflower Descendants and over a hundred years of careful and documented research. But few of our ancestors have gone through such scrutiny. In most cases, if the information in an inherited or downloaded pedigree is accurate, you should have little trouble verifying the information even if there are no cited sources. This is why we have a survey step in the research process, to provide a basis through looking at the work of others, for our own research. But incorporating an entire file without examination is not part of the research process. I have had people come to me who have never done one hour of research with files contain over 20,000 people. How are they ever going to know if what they have is accurate or not.
The quandary is whether to accept the previous information until proven false or reject everything until proven true? I think it is wise to take a little of both sides on the issues. For example, in my lines, the identities of the people back six or seven generations are not really in dispute, but once you get back that far, problems start to arise.
Fortunately, in one sense, I did not inherit a file. I had to fill out my pedigree person by person since I was the very first to computerize my particular lines. The good news is that I examined every relationship. The bad news is that I was not always accurate or correct. I have spent many years going back through my files, adding sources and correcting the entries. Meanwhile, the incomplete and inaccurate files I put online years ago come back to haunt me in the form of multiple copies by other people on the Web. Let's all live and learn.

I totally agree. It has been my experience that when you really comb through an apparent "relative" it turns out that one of the grand-parent's names is close but not the same. Conversely, I tend to shoe-box in one form or another anything remotely possible. My favorite example is a marriage registration certificate for my paternal G Father: the first name of the spouse was as expected but not the surname - I felt I had wasted $$$$ BUT eventually it turned out that this was his FIRST wife (guess he liked Sarahs). Point is reviewing, researching, double checking and hanging on to leads is a good thing.ReplyDelete
Thank you for the post. As a "veteran novice" family historian, it is sometimes discouraging when it appears, from reading other on-line posts, that so many "genealogists" have traced their ancestry to 425 AD, and are direct descendants of Mayflower immigrants and have 80,000 in their family trees! However, I continue to plod along as I struggle to learn how to properly source and document my research, and I do find it personally rewarding. I believe that online pedigrees can be useful (I, myself have had the benefit of another earlier researcher who has well-documented her research), but only if used carefully.ReplyDelete

Great article. And it's not just genealogy files that can lead us astray. I've run into errors that have been perpetuated by published genealogical books as well. Using the work of others as a guide can be useful but we really each need to seek primary sources when we can.ReplyDelete

I spent some time as one of Ancestry's Experts for Hire. I have hundreds of trees from that experience, some that are very complex, some that contain only a dozen names but answer a question raised. All are private as they belong to the individuals that requested them. I have a longstanding habit. I create two trees. The first is labeled "Possibilities for the Smith Tree" and the second is labeled the Smith Family Tree. Nothing moves to the second tree without careful research - and still, as you noted, there are those ancestors that simply cannot be added with any certainty.ReplyDelete
Excellent article. I would love to think that anyone who requests a genealogy tree understands the difficulties addressed in this article. In my husband's tree, which is public, I have ancestors that do not "mesh" with many other online trees. The reason is that I did not use a computer, but compiled the tree from 18th century source documents in the early 1990's. The groups of settlers that came to East Tennessee together in the early 1800's intermarried. Without the source documents, it is impossible to tell which sons and daughters married other sons and daughters in other families. One family of eight married in such a way that they "wove in" at several different points. With only 50,000 in the entire state, there just were not that many people to choose from. It is a tangle that I still try to work with, despite the fact that I retired some time back. We do the best we can and hope that some day, more information is discovered.
Is there a procedure for when somebody has faked and claimed a family tree as their own when they are lying and have no bloodline connection, they have now died but their name is still on dozens and dozens of family trees which they have no right to, they had fabricated a wife and children when in real life they never married and also have given a false date of birth not only for themselves but for an older brother who died many years ago so was not party to this fraud. I contacted a few people who I knew had got he false details on their trees and they have changed them so that they are correct but there are just so many others out there with this person in the trees and all false connections with them and I am the only true person along with my family in the blood line which people will not recognize as being true, I can produce the true documents with me being named.ReplyDelete

There are many relationships besides bloodlines for families. I get the impression that we may not have the entire story. But if this is a really made up family connection then there really doesn't seem to be a way to take down bogus family trees.Delete

TUPELO, Miss. - The Mississippi man charged with sending poisoned letters to President Barack Obama and others was released from jail Tuesday on bond, while FBI agents returned to another man's house where they'd previously searched in connection with the case.
Everett Dutschke said in a phone interview with The Associated Press the FBI was at his Tupelo home Tuesday for a search related to the mailing of poisoned letters to Obama, U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi and a state judge. Dutschke said his house was also searched last week.
In Washington, a suspicious letter containing what authorities say may be ricin was found Tuesday in a mail-sorting facility for the Defense Intelligence Agency. It wasn't clear if it was connected to the other letters.
Dutschke has maintained his innocence and says he doesn't know anything about the ingredients for ricin. He said agents asked him about suspect Paul Kevin Curtis, whether Dutschke would take a lie detector test and if he had ever bought castor beans, which can be used to make the potent poison.
"I'm a patriotic American. I don't have any grudges against anybody. I did not send the letters," said Dutschke, who hasn't been arrested or charged.
Outside his house, numerous law enforcement officers from several agencies were seen along with a mobile crime lab.
Earlier Tuesday, Curtis was released from custody without an immediate explanation from authorities. Later, his attorney Hal Neilson said that Curtis was released on bond and that charges haven't yet been dropped against him. He said conditions of the bond are sealed by the court. Defense attorneys say a news conference is scheduled for later in the afternoon.
An FBI agent had testified in court this week that a search of Curtis' home turned up no ricin or evidence it was being made there. The third day of a preliminary and detention hearing was cancelled on Tuesday without officials explaining the change.
Jeff Woodfin, chief deputy with the U.S. Marshals Service in Oxford, Miss., said he doesn't know if there were any conditions on Curtis's release.
Through his lawyers, Curtis has denied involvement in the letters.
"The searches are concluded, not one single shred of evidence was found to indicate Kevin could have done this," Defense lawyer Christi McCoy told reporters after a hearing Monday.
At that hearing, FBI Agent Brandon Grant testified that searches last week of Curtis' vehicle and house in Corinth, Miss., found no ricin, ingredients for the poison, or devices used to make it. A search of Curtis' computers found no evidence he researched making ricin. Authorities produced no other physical evidence at the hearings tying Curtis to the letters.
Curtis was arrested last Wednesday at his house in Corinth, Miss., and charged with sending the ricin-laced letters, the first of which was found April 15.
Grant testified Friday that authorities tried to track down the sender of the letters by using a list of Wicker's constituents with the initials KC, the same initials in the letters. Grant said the list was whittled from thousands to about 100 when investigators isolated the ones who lived in an area that would have a Memphis, Tenn., postmark, which includes many places in north Mississippi. He said Wicker's staff recognized Curtis as someone who had written the senator before.
All the envelopes and stamps were self-adhesive, Grant said Monday, meaning they won't yield DNA evidence. He said thus far the envelopes and letters haven't yielded any fingerprints.
McCoy said in court that someone may have framed Curtis. She questioned why Curtis would have signed the letters "I am KC and I approve this message," a phrase he had used on his Facebook page.
On Tuesday, people in hazmat suits were seen going in and out of Dutschke's house on a quiet block in Tupelo. Investigators from the FBI, U.S. Marshals Service and U.S. Capitol Police were seen outside the house. Dutschke said he counted at least 30 law enforcement agents.
"They really asked me about Kevin for most of the day and then they asked me if I would take a lie detector test. I said my attorney would be very angry. I did sign a consent form for the search, which is probably why they have not shown me any kind of warrant," he said.
Dutschke said his attorney wasn't with him and he didn't know whether he was going to be arrested.
Dutschke said that he knows Curtis but that the two had a falling out. Dutschke said the last contact they had was in 2010 when Dutschke threatened to sue Curtis for saying he was a member of Mensa, a membership group for people with high IQs.


text: I am so incredibly excited for BBQ season! My current BBQ place is Blue Smoke NY run by Danny Mayer's Union Square Restaurant Group. If you have a chance you should definitely stop by and have their Kansas City ribs with mashed potatoes. If you asked me right now what my favorite non-knife product we have at korin, I would tell you right away that its the binchotan charcoal (and the Zoujirushi Air pot... but thats another story.) Binchotan is a traditional Japanese charcoal that is completely different from American charcoal in just about every way possible. Due to the fact that binchotan is chemical free, almost smoke free, and burns at a temperature 300 to 600 degrees higher than American charcoal. The lack of chemical additives and the incredibly high heat preserves the flavorful juices, adds a beautiful sear, and makes anything barbecued on it absolutely delectable. Ms. Kawano allowed us to take 5lbs each and try them out. So we had a BBQ at a coworker's house! There are three different types of binchotan. Main different being the longevity of the flame. White binchotan burns for up to 5 hours. Because white binchotan is the hardest charcoal, it is also the hardest to light. It may take about an hour to light it. However, once it is lit it will burn at the highest temperature for the longest amount of time. http://korin.com/White-Binchotan-Charcoal_2 Aramaru charcoal is the easier to light than white binchotan, however they have a shorter life (up to 3-4 hours). This makes them ideal to mix with white binchotan. Please light aramaru charcoal by placing it over direct flame until it turns red. This may take up 30 minutes. http://korin.com/Binchotan-Aramaru-Charcoal Sumi charcoal is a charcoal briquette that is more economical than aramaru and white binchotan. Sumi charcoal is also chemical free, almost smoke free, and burn three times hotter than American charcoal. Sumi charcoal is the easiest to light out of the three types of Japanese charcoals, however they have a shorter life (up to 3 hours). http://korin.com/Japanese-Sumi-Charcoal Tips: - Put the white binchotan over direct flame with either a charcoal starter or over a netted pot similar to the charcoal starter. This will take up to 30 minutes to 1 hour. You can find the starter pot here: http://korin.com/Charcoal-Starter-Pan-with-Handle - Mix sumi or aramaru charcoal that light up faster with the white binchotan - Please note liquid fuel is not enough to burn these white binchotan, you must put binchotan over direct flame to light. Binchotan being Used Taken at Gohan Society's Event last December. The grill being used here can be found: http://korin.com/Charcoal-Barbecue-Konro-Lg?sc=28&category=281236 Tadashi Ono of Matsuri Restaurant. Writer of The Japanese Grill A few restaurants that use these charcoal: Bouley, Brushstroke, Matsuri NY, Tori-Shin NY Benefits and Health Value of White Charcoal - Filters and absorbs chemicals in water. All water filters have white charcoal in them. - Absorbs odors Korin uses it in the pocket knife showcase. We have to keep the showcase humidified, because the pocket knives are really sensitive to humidity and dryness. (The handles start to shrink and etc.) But in efforts to keep the case humidified, the entire case started to smell damp and gross, so we put the binchotan in. It looks pretty too. - Absorbs dampness You can put it in your fridge to replace baking soda! - Produces negative ions that helps the immune system, and decreases electromagnetism. Supposedly, its good to keep next to your bed. I've never tried it though, so I can't vouch for this. - Reusable! As long as it's not ash, you can reuse binchotan as many times as you want. You could also reuse it by soaking it in water for a few minutes for a better effect. - Neutralizes and improves soil quality for plants - Small amounts of binchotan powder can help kill stomach viruses, prevent food poisoning, and stop diarrhea. *Warning: Large amounts is unhealthy. - Small amounts in rice cookers increases the rice's calcium and makes the rice keep for longer. - Bathing with a little bit of binchotan in the water can help improve one's blood cycle, hair and skin. *I got this information at WhiteBinchotan.com. It's a little Engrishy, but it was very helpful. Korin offers many different BBQ grills We offer large konro grills as well as smaller table top konro grills. We recommend the smaller ones be used with liquid fuel, rather than binchotan charcoal, but we also have small binchotan worthy grills. Charcoal Barbecue Grill- Small As seen on Bon Appetit $169.00 Brown Rect Charcoal BBQ Konro $62.00 $123.00 The Hida Konro ^^ Better to just use fuel for these type of grills ^^ $37.50

Today was the deadline to protect players from the MLB Rule 5 draft, players on a teams 40 man roster are protected, so it comes as no surprise that the Cubs filled out their 40 man roster today. The Cubs purchased the contracts of right-handed pitcher Trey McNutt, infielder Christian Villanueva, minor league player of the year in the Cubs organization Logan Watkins, and right-handed pitcher Robert Whitenack. The other minor league player of the year, Nick Struck was not added to the 40 man and thus left unprotected and available to any team that may want to add him in the Rule 5 Draft. It's not that much of a surprise that he wasn't added because the guys that were added have a better shot at sticking with the Cubs, especially McNutt. I think the move to the pen was the right one for McNutt last year and he could have pitched out of a Major League bullpen last year so it was wise for the Cubs to go in that direction.
In addition to filling out the roster the Cubs also designated Bryan LaHair for assignment. The 2012 all-star is said to be looking into an opportunity to sign with a Japan team for next season, if that's the case I hope he has a great year next year, he was a lot of fun to watch for 51 games last season.
Thanks for reading,

January 9, 1949 - July 12, 2013
Espanola, NM
Kathleen M. Lippert, age 64, of Espanola, NM, passed away Friday, July 12, 2013, after a brief and courageous battle with cancer.
Kathy was born in Peekskill, NY on January 9,1949, and was raised by loving parents: Robert and Kathleen (Kelly) Lippert. She attended schools in the Peekskill/Cortlandt area, graduating from Lakeland High in 1968, then went on to the University of Bridgeport, CT, later graduating with her Masters Degree in Psychology from Pace University. After college she worked and traveled extensively, falling in love with New Mexico, where she eventually settled permanently, and began her career in social work. Her last years were spent working at Home Instead Senior Care, and enjoying time with her lifetime friend, James Rowe.
Kathy is survived by her mother, Kathleen (Richard) Smeriglio of Cairo, NY; sister and brothers, all of New York: Barbara of Delmar, Robert of Beacon, John of Wallkill, Tim of Berne and Michael of Peekskill. She is also survived by six nieces and nephews: Jim, John, Michael, Sarah, Danny and Stacy. She was predeceased by her father, Robert and younger brother, James. She also leaves behind her canine pal, Brucie, and many friends.
The family would like to especially thank Ambercare and Comfort Keepers for the best of care during her last days.
Kathy was a free-spirited individual who loved people and her adopted home in New Mexico. After every visit East, she always felt New Mexico tugging her back to the 'Land of Enchantment'. She loved horses, hiking and visiting family as often as she could, somehow managing to get home for holidays especially. She was always the big sister through the years to many of us.
A Memorial Service is planned for August 2nd from 4 to 7 p.m., with arrangements by Richards Funeral Home, Cairo, NY, www.richardsfuneralhomeinc.net.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in her memory to a charity of one's choice or to: Kathy Lippert Memorial Fund, in care of Richards Funeral Home, PO Box 383, Cairo, NY 12413, Attention: Linda.
