We've all been there, we run around in the morning sorting ourselves out by jumping in the shower, getting breakfast and doing our hair and make-up…but add in doing that for little ones as well and there is just NO TIME! For many mums the most stressful part of the morning routine for mums with a young family is getting themselves dressed. Whether you've got to get to work and look professional or simply look half decent for the school run, so many mums struggle to be able to have those looks ready to hand. We all wish we could […]Read more →
How are we in November already? It's nearly the end of the year and I'm sure if you're anything like me there's loads of things on your personal 2018 to do list that you just haven't gotten around to do yet and what with all the Christmas decorations now out in the stores it won't be long before we're kissing 2018 away and welcoming in 2019! So what can you do in this month of November that's all about YOU? Now really is the perfect time to book a wardrobe styling session. We are well and truly into autumn and […]Read more →
I think it's fair to say that there isn't a Personal Stylist out there that doesn't use Zara as a trusted store for her Personal Shopping clients. Zara owned by the Spanish retailing mogul Inditex has been around since the 70's and their following has grown exponentially amongst regular girls as well as fashions 'it' crowd. There's nothing embarrassing saying: "This is from Zara" and then bragging about how little it cost you. Mixing designer items with Zara is what allfashionistas do and because the turn around of Zara's stock is so quick you're (hopefully) never going to bump into […]Read more →
So many of our clients come to us after an illness, post chemotherapy or post an operation for example where they've had to take so many drugs and steroids that they simply don't recognize their body shape anymore. They've gained weight and their clothes no longer fit them. Maybe they want a fresh start and as we all know nothing signifies a new start better than a new wardrobe. So in most cases it's people gaining weight but every now and then we get clients who have lost weight and need guidance on how to dress for their slimmer frame. For […]Read more →
Well it looks like Spring is finally here, or judging by the weather this week, we've skipped Spring and gone straight to Summer J If you're anything like me, I've been obsessed with clearing things out these past couple of weeks, not just in my wardrobe but in my bathroom cupboard and kitchen cupboards too. Spring is a time for fresh starts and in order to bring in the new you simply must clear out the old, right? Of course as a Wardrobe Stylist I'm a proud owner of a capsule wardrobe, so my wardrobe consists of clothes that are […]Read more →
Well its' definitely April and we're most definitely having April showers. It's the time of the year where it's not quite cold enough to wear a coat but is the perfect weather for a trench coat. The invention of trench despite looking so chic and Parisian is actually claimed by two luxury British clothing manufacturers: Acuascutum and of course Burberry. The name itself comes from it's origins as a light waterproof coat used by British troops in the trenches during WW1… Well that's the history done, what does a trench coat mean to us today? As a Personal Stylist I […]Read more →

Hello and welcome to the 4th instalment of our 10 commandments of machine embroidery series.
Today I am talking to you on a subject to which I can become a little "preachy" about. Hooping your stabiliser.
It has always amazed me that after spending thousands on an embroidery machine, hooping up what is generally quality fabrics, we are happy to "cheat" on preparing the fabric for embroidery, and then wonder about the consequences.
I have heard and seen embroiders who are so eager to save a few cents they will only cut the stabiliser to the side of the design, and place it under the fabric, and even those who like to collect the scraps, and sew them together to form new stabiliser (I don't recommend this, as you will end up with different thicknesses of stabiliser on the one project, and the back of your design will begin to look and feel messy).
I was initially taught to hoop, as many of us were in the early 2000's "drum tight", with at least one layer of heavy Tear Away stabiliser, no matter what the circumstances, and I am not a fan of this type of hooping, as it can distort the fabric, however in 99% of circumstances, I will hoop my fabric and stabiliser together for the best embroidery results.
The other side of the argument involves "floating" your fabric over the hoop with stabiliser, and "basting" or pinning your fabric to the stabiliser on the hoop.
This is a perfect solution for tough fabrics, such as thick towels, or fabrics like velvet which would receive hoop burn marks if you used the traditional methods.
However for regular stitching, you will get a much better result from hooping your fabric and stabiliser together.
In order to show just what a difference you can make using this technique, I have stitched two identical designs, one with the fabric hooped together with the stabiliser, and the other where only the fabric is hooped, and the stabiliser is floated underneath.
Whilst the differences are not glaringly obvious, you can certainly tell with the "floated" sample that there is much more puckering around the design. Whilst this is only a slight distortion, this is also only a small design. In a larger design, with more stitches, the fabric would pull around the design much more, and appear much more puckered.
Stabiliser is there to Stabiliser. It needs to have the opportunity to stabilise the fabric, as well as the design, and the best way to do that is through hooping the stabiliser and fabric together.
My tips for hooping your stabiliser, and not wasting tool much money with it are:-
- Lay the hoop over the stabiliser, and cut approximately 1" all around the edge of the hoop (I am always eager to hoop, and will cut 2" to make it easier on myself.
- Use a single layer of good quality, easy tear stabiliser.
- If your design is dense, use a second layer of stabilizer on top of the design, placed at a 90 degree angle to the bottom piece, which will give maximum support, and allow you to easily tear off the top of the design once completed (like a template).
Thank you for allowing me to share these tips with you. I hope you are enjoying this series.
Until next time, have a Stitchin' Day. Julie.

Similarly on GPU portion, the utility will able to display chipset name, GPU memory size, memory channel (single or dual), timing as well as BIOS and OS used in the system. All these information can be extracted into report format in either XML, HTML, MHTML or short text reports for data collection and compilation. That is not all, the utility allows users to run benchmarking test to measure CPU, memory as well as Disk Drive tests and the results can be compared to other competitors' solution in PC market for a easy and fast comparison even for non-technical end users. Last but not least, users can easily pull up data collected by digital thermal sensors to ensure the motherboard and whole PC system are in healthy condition without exceeding the maximum allowable thermal rating.
If you are still wondering what your PC system and hardware peripherals' specifications are and curious about how well it performs as compared to other's CPUs in the market, no harm to try this utility and see how much it can help you.

The history of Artis Cibaria begins in this way …. It all starts when Roberto decided to escape his parents butcher's enrolled on catering college ….
After school at the age of 14, Roberto starts to dream and wanted to leave. From Dolomites to the crystalline waters of Sardinia he carried various experiences out in the tourist hotels.
During his military service, between a pot and a frying pan, he had the idea to start a business for himself. He realized his dream when he discharged. With the various experiences he realized that the activity more congenial to him was catering and banqueting, but he felt the need to build a means of transport that could solve the problem of catering: for this reason the MOBILE KITCHEN was born since 2000.
Roberto now grown-up and when he had some break time he dedicated himself to social life. One evening he was invited to a dinner and met Barbara, a university student of Political Science. Among them took a liking to each of other and began their love story: together as husband and wife as inseparable partners in their job. In the meantime Laura was born, the little pest of the house, Barbara completed her studies and gained the conviction that she could create a company together: ARTIS CIBARIA.
It is not a name chosen at random, but from the need to convey to their customers the sense of ART OF FOOD.
Artis Cibaria is based on a traditional and authentic cuisine, characterized by the use of raw materials of the highest quality fragrances and flavors that enhance our region: Marche.
Roberto and Barbara will be happy to let you taste their specialties wherever you want, thanks to their experience and professionalism combined with the use of modern equipment that allows the creation, in every lovely place, of any plan to catering and banqueting.
And remember ……………… THE CUISINE IS AN ART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by Mia McKenzie
Black Girl Dangerous' Crush of the Month is a new feature from BGD, where we choose one bold, brilliant, badass QTPoC who has inspired us with the amazing things they've been up to in their work and life. We'll interview said crush-worthy individual so that you, faithful BGD readers, can share in our swooning!
Our Crush of the Month for May is community organizer and educator Cherrell Brown. I became acquainted with Cherrell on Twitter last August when Mike Brown was murdered in Ferguson, MO and so many smart, sharp black activists came together in that social media space (and on the streets) to push back against police violence.
The short on Cherrell:
Cherrell Brown is a community organizer and educator living in NYC. She currently serves as a National Organizer for Equal Justice USA, a national non-profit organization working towards repealing the death penalty. Cherrell is also involved with several grassroots organizations working towards ending police and economic violence and teaches direct action trainings and community organizing 101. She recently traveled to Palestine on a solidarity trip with the Dream Defenders where US activists form Ferguson, LA, Chicago, and NYC met with Palestinian activists to share, build, and learn.
I quickly became a fan, not only of her politics, but of her warm, funny, sexy self! Read my questions and Cherrell's crush-worthy answers below!
Mia: Are you single? If so, are you currently looking for a boo? What's your type (if any)?
Cherrell: I am single! I'm not actively looking for any serious relationship—especially since I'll be moving to London this fall, but I am not closed off to the possibility. I would love a consistent summer thing—someone to watch movies with, hold hands, and help me part my hair for the perfect bantu knot. I don't have any physical type, but I'm really attracted to funny people.
Mia: What does romantic love look like in the midst of revolution? When you dream of a love that will get you through, that will help you not only survive but thrive, what does that love look like?
Cherrell: Wow, what a great question. Like many folks in the social justice world, I've found myself extremely busy this past year. At one point I found it hard to juggle being accountable to someone, romantically, while being all over the place with work. However romantic love does feed me. I believe love and sex can be a safe and therapeutic space, so I'm more intentional about allowing myself the revolutionary act of love these days. The sort of love I dream about getting me through is the sort of love that knows when to encourage me to pull out of work mode, when to turn off, reminds me that prioritizing myself isn't self indulgence. That sort of love doesn't have to know the social justice lexicon, or even call themselves feminist—but they believe in the value and liberation of all black people.
Mia: If someone wanted to get with Cherrell, what would be the most effective approach to take?
Cherrell: Humor. I'm extremely silly—and find funny people super attractive. Some see what I do and think they have to have the blue print for liberation written out in a haiku for some attention—I just simply want to laugh and feel goodness reflected back at me.
Mia: Are you crushing on anyone right now? Do they know?
Cherrell: Several people! And most know. It's hard not to fall in love every other week in this work. There's so many amazing souls. My people are beautiful and I have to fight with myself not to tell someone every week "Can I just lick your face? And maybe share my netflix password with you?" Sigh. *looks into the distance fondly*
Mia: What do you find most sexy about yourself?
Cherrell: My body positivity/confidence—I absolutely adore my size 12/14 175 lb 5'4 (5'5 on a good hair day) frame, and the mole on the left side of my nose.
Mia: What are you most afraid of when it comes to romantic relationships?
Cherrell: I'm afraid of losing out on really great friendships/relationships because we can't/don't simply communicate our wants clearly. And aggressive ear licking. Seriously—who is spreading this around?
Mia: (*sets Miguel up for failure in 3…2…*) Make Out With, Date, or Banish from QTPoC Island: (A Twist on Fuck, Marry, Kill): Miguel, Janet Mock, Rihanna.
Cherrell: Make out with Janet Mock, date Rihanna, and banish Miguel. The Lord delivered me from neon beige cishet men in 2008.
(Mia: 😂😂😂)
Mia: How did you first become socially/politically conscious? Do you remember a moment?
Cherrell: Around 15, or 16. After witnessing loved ones experience police violence. I didn't have the language for it, but I knew I was angry and wanted to do something about it. It wasn't until college that I'd be more formally trained as an organizer with Beloved Community Center in Greensboro, NC. I was attending NC A&T at the time, and started doing student organizing work around police accountability and environmental racism.
Mia: What inspires you most as an activist? What keeps you doing the work when it gets hard?
Cherrell: What inspires me are my students, youth way more brilliant than I ever was at 17, 18. And sisters keep me going. Black women are just life savers. They have sustained me, checked in on me, loved me, challenged me, fed me—the bond of sisterhood is so affirming. I literally wouldn't be here today without it.
Mia: What's next for you?
Cherrell: I'll probably teach a bit this summer before moving to London to pursue my Master's in Human Rights: Culture, Diaspora, Ethnicity. I want to focus specifically on how state violence impacts women across the Diaspora. I'll probably continue on afterwards as a human rights educator.

"The prοsecutiοn's mοve to issue arrest warrants fοr Asiri and Qahtani reflects the view that the Saudi authοrities wοn't take fοrmal actiοn against those individuals," οne of the Turkish officials said.

Haircare 101-Basics on having great hair
Category : Hair
Having a great hair day relies on you to do the right thing when it comes to a hair care routine. The routine should include everything from eating correctly to using the best products for your hair. There are many issues that people have from brittle and damaged hair to hair loss, so here are some ideas to help you have a great hair day.
How do you wash hair?
Wash, rinse, repeat is simple enough right? Well there are some tips that help to give you that extra edge. For instance, try to use your conditioner and apply only to the body and tips of the hair. The reason for this is, if you apply too much onto the scalp it can cause a build up and make your hair look oily. There also seems to be a new trend of using a conditioner before you shampoo. By washing your hair this way adds more volume to your hair. You will have to try this one for yourself to see if it works for you.
Using the right product for your hair
You might have damaged or dry hair and using the more expensive products is not necessarily the way to go. There are plenty of products out there that can help with your specific hair problem and if you're not sure ask your hairdresser for advice before purchasing anything. I always like to buy the more natural or organic shampoos without sulfates or alcohol that tend to dry my hair out.
Some examples of the different conditioners you get for your hair:
- Wash out- conditioner: This is the most common conditioner and there is a variety for the different hair types.
- Leave in: These conditioners help to smooth and de-tangle and can also act as a styling product.
- Hair masks: This conditioner is for deep conditioning and is helpful in cases of really dry and damaged hair.
Inside and not on top
Healthy hair comes from having a balanced and healthy lifestyle. Eating correctly and supplementing if you need to, could help keep your head of hair in tip top shape. The health of the hair follicle is what influences your hair growth and this is where you need a good diet and nutrients for strong and healthy hair.
Hot air for hair
Your hair can be exposed to a lot of heat from blow dryers to flat irons that could cause damage. Try to let your hair dry naturally every now and again to give your hair a break. Using heat protecting products can also help to minimize any damage to your hair.
Oils for your hair
Hair oils can help to smooth hair out, great in cases of frizzy hair. The oils can also help to improve hair growth and hair loss. OIls are very easy to use, apply oils to your hair and scalp and leave in for about 30 minutes, simply shampoo out as you would normally do. Again, this is something you need to try out yourself to see if it works for you. Oils are mostly recommended for damaged and very dry hair.
Hair mousse
Hair mousse can add a bit of volume and lift to your hair. Work the mousse through your hair after shampooing and towel drying your hair. After applying the mousse blow dry your hair for a great look.
Regular trims for your hair
Cutting or getting regular trims doesn't help with the actual growth of the hair, but you can reduce your split ends and improve the look and feel. This will also help decrease the amount of hair breakage and might even make your hair look sleeker and shinier.
Whatever hair type you are, following a few simple basic rules will help you to have beautiful, healthy and great hair.

Why People Think Songs Are A Good Idea
Professional DJ Services for All Occasions
If you experienced going to parties such as wedding ceremonies or company events, you might have encountered men and women commenting about the performance of the DJ. But, what exactly is a DJ anyway? What makes people talk about them a lot?
Basically, a Disc Jockey or DJ is a person who is task to play and control music in radios, discos, and in other memorable events. Most music tracks that a DJ brings out are popularized by famous artists although some truly excellent DJs are skillful in combining different kinds of songs into one music.
Typical Occasions Where You Can Use a Disc Jockey
Young Adult Birthday Parties
Usually, the adult age group is made up of yappies or young professionals. Which means, they are incredibly energetic in activities like clubbing and other associated occasions. A DJ is very significant to adult events considering that attendees would generally dancing with the presently most favorite songs which can be effectively played out by an excellent DJ. A lot of DJs are highly conscious to the demands of the audience. Even if sometimes, the participants or attendees will have music different song requests, they absolutely bring out songs ideal for that that instant.
Wedding Ceremonies and Reception
If you think that DJ services are only for events requiring loud and active sounds, then you are misinformed. Professional DJs are commonly versatile. They play songs according to the event. Solemn songs during wedding ceremonies are just a piece of cake for them. And when energetic tunes are required in the wedding reception, the best DJ services can conveniently adjust to the demand and play the right songs for the newly weds and the guests. Furthermore, DJ's are not chosen in special gatherings only to deliver a background song. Even more, they are highly regarded in regulating the flow of tunes in the affair through perfect manner.
Teen Events
When speaking about gatherings for teens, most likely, the high school prom is the one that you will picture out. In most cases, these events will have a combination of programs; the "serious" and the party time. On the serious part, most DJ will usually play songs that caters the young hearts for this could be the time when teenagers will have their first dance with their ultimate crush. On other hand, the second part would be all about fun, hence professional DJ will play lively and cool songs fitted for this generation.
Now, despite the fact that the services of DJs are valuable in all kinds of functions, the number of experience which a DJ has is a factor to be considered. Therefore, if seek to hire a Disc Jockey, make sure that the professional has quite numerous experience in the industry.

Yes, Mullah Omar, the place is yours at that point.
That's what was ANNOUNCED today by NATO at the summit in Lisbon.
Look, it's not a bad idea at all to leave Afghanistan in 2014. I just think we should win the war first. I don't know how it makes sense to fight a war but announce when you are surrendering.
It's generous of us to be so helpful to the Taliban, telling them when we will start to depart – July 2011 – and now adding some helpful information about when the surrender will be complete.
Why waste all those precious lives? If this is how we're going to fight the war, we should leave tomorrow.
One wonderful moment from the summit was the assertion by NATO Secretary Generalthat the Taliban can't rely on a strategy of just waiting until we leave.
We will launch the process by which the Afghan government will take leadership for security throughout the country, district by district. If the enemies of Afghanistan have the idea that they can just wait it out until we leave, they have the wrong idea. We will stay as long as it takes to finish our job.
The Europeans are particularly good at this type of wishful doublespeak on matters of war and peace, believing strongly in the discredited concept that, "If I say it with determination, it will be true.
I mean, what is he talking about? We're staying until 2014, not until we finish the job. THAT'S NATO POLICY.
There's an interesting clash of cultures underlying this. To the United States, with our habit of looking just over the hood and no further, 2014 seems A LONG TIME AWAY. For people like the Afghanis and much of the rest of the world, which lack our instant gratification mentality and our poor knowledge of history and other cultures, four years is nothing, a blip on the screen in the grand sweep of history that extends from ancient times into the future where – for the Taliban at least – a new Caliphate awaits.
The Europeans have a broader sense of time than us, and understand 2014 is right around the corner. It's just that, being Europeans, they want to stop fighting yesterday.
The Taliban will wait us out, better believe it. And then we can build a memorial to the Afghan war dead on the mall in Washington and move on.

I hope everyone had a great Halloween! We really enjoyed putting Clara's costume together – one that was after my own heart.Leave a Comment
Year: 2013
At our baby shower we were lucky enough to be gifted with an awesome baby monitor: the Samsung SEW-3037W, which features Pan Tilt Infrared video. Aside from the annoying startup sound that can't be disabled (that every Samsung device seemly has to have), it's been the perfect device for keeping an eye on Clara. However a few weeks ago, we realized that the microphone – the most critical part of the monitor – stopped working. Samsung was really good about fixing it for warranty, but we are without it for a few weeks.
We had a few options: move Clara from her secluded nursery to a closer (and noisier) part of the house, buy a cheap baby monitor that may not even work well (and probably set us back another $50), or figure out how to cobble together a baby monitoring system with what technology we have. Luckily we were able to use our phones to have a decent monitoring system that set us back $4.
We actually have my old Droid Bionic permanently docked in Clara's room, that streams music and white noise at night. After installing IP Webcam on the phone, we have an instant video-streaming server. From there we installed tinyCam Monitor PRO onto my Galaxy S4 and have been able to consume the stream. I played with the free version of tinyCam Free to set up a proof of concept, and opted to spend the $4 so that I can get the prolonged audio streaming (the free version only allows a minute of streaming).
As far as an interim solution, this has worked really well over the last week. There is a tiny bit of a lag (about 1 second on average), but I'm wiling to live with that. The Bionic's camera has always been pretty poor in low light, but I can make Clara out pretty well (we have a lamp with a red light bulb in the room). The angle isn't the greatest because the camera sits in the dock on her crib, but it gets the job done. The benefits of this is that both Bethany and I can monitor Clara at the same time, and I actually can use VLC on my computer to watch the video as well (where this screen shot came from).
All things being equal, I would choose the Samsung monitor due to the responsiveness and nighttime performance – but if you don't have $200 to spend, and happen to have an old Android phone lying around, this would definitely be an option that would get you by.Leave a Comment
So obviously I haven't been blogging for a while, taking the summer off having my hands full with this little bundle of joy.
It's hard to believe that she's already 3 months old! In fact, Clara celebrates her 100 day birthday tomorrow. I finally got some time to comb through all of the pictures we've taken of her, and posted some of our favorites up on Flickr. This has seriously been a mental barrier for me in terms of non-work-related computer time, so I'm really excited to be able to get back into the swing of things and making some posts. I've had no shortage of thoughts and opinions, and am anxious to get them back on here.Leave a Comment
So my tech roundup is a bit late due to my adventures in new parenthood. As you can imagine, I've been pretty much out of the tech news stream (and I also think it's been a slow week due to the July 4th holiday), but I've made a lot of tech discoveries being the first time parent of a newborn.
When I haven't been holding m new daughter or catching up on sleep, I've committed some thought towards how we want to capture and share our special moments. I'm not sure if Facebook is the best vehicle for this, in large part that I'm not quite sure if I have a true awareness – let alone control of – who would see all of the content. I use Facebook as a social media public face, and am extremely sensitive to Facebook over-posting. Given this stance, splashing multiple pictures and videos per day is the last thing I want to do.
However, I do recognize that there is a segment of people in our lives (namely our families and friends who live further away), who wouldn't mind an avalanche of pictures. So with that I have prepared two vehicles for social media sharing:
- Clara's Tumblr Page – I think Tumblr provides the perfect vehicle for the two of us to submit these bit-sized chunks that Clara-admirers can scroll to their hearts content. The app is a joy to use, and I love that the both of us have an easy way to publish.
- Flickr – Given that Picasa is all but dead, folded into Google+, and that I currently use Google+ as a de-facto backup for my phone's pictures, I've decided to use Flickr. I love Google+ in concept, but the reality is that their notification system is too overreaching. I'd like to think I'm a reasonably smart guy when it comes to technology, but I still can't figure out how to post things to my circles without them receiving a notification (be it in email or on Google+). I'd like to simply push content out and if people see it: that's great – don't notify them. Anyway, so I'm back with Flickr, and do think their re-design is pretty compelling. The only problem I have is that Flickr has become a virtual ghost town, I'm not sure if people are viewing these images or not. Oh well. I'll keep pushing my higher quality images to Clara's Flickr Set.
Speaking of pictures, I can't rave enough about the Nikon D7000 that we bought for the baby. My hope was that we'd have a camera that could take some high quality images, but not be too difficult to use. For the most part I've been keeping the camera in "Manual" and have produced some images that have made us pretty happy. I'm excited to learn more about the camera and start playing with some other lenses.
On the email front, I borrowed the "Dear Sophie" idea in the Google Commercial only to find that I had to lie about Clara's age in order to create an account. I understand there are terms of service, but I found it a little surprising that Google advertised a method of using Gmail that requires you to break their terms of service. So yes, Clara now has an email address that I'm hoping to periodically contribute to.
Mobility speaking, there have been two apps that have been pretty helpful during Clara's first week of life: iBaby and White Noise Lite. We've been using iBaby to track all of the feedings and diaper changes, and the only major complaint I have is its (or any similar apps) inability to share this data across the cloud in some way. I'd love for both Bethany and I to be able to contribute to the same data set through each of our devices. I'm majorly tempted to go back to using a Google Spreadsheet. As for White Noise, for new parents that are using the Happiest Baby methods, this has made all the difference. We have this app on each of our phones (as well as a docked phone we're using as a music player in the nursery), and I love that I can press a single button and have white noise blaring through the speakers.Leave a Comment
Today (June 29th, at the time) is the big day! We're set to begin our birth story and I wanted to take the opportunity to chrono-log our big day where we welcomed our beautiful daughter into this world.
11:30am – Finally got the call and have been admitted for the induction. We got placed in our delivery room, with a view of I-25. Bethany put on her ballroom gown and we're hanging out waiting to meet our nurse.
On a tech/distraction front, this room leaves a little to be desired. The TV has a pretty sophisticated menu hooked up, so my chances of plugging in a laptop are pretty slim. The sound only comes out of this handheld speaker next to the bed. I suppose when you're in the heat of labor they don't want the room to be blasted with the sounds of Game 7. Right now in her we're in no mood for TV. We're a combination of anxious and nervous for what's next.
12:15pm – Just got our first visit with our nurse. Bethany is hooked up to the monitor now and so far everything is looking good. We're now waiting for a sizable data sample to be shared with it doctor.
1pm – Things are moving pretty slowly, but I guess that's expected when you have to cover all bases. Bethany's been fitted with an IV Port and they're now running final tests before proceeding with the induction. We thought waiting at home was hard…
1:45 – It's go time! Bethany has her Pitocin cocktail in her IV and we're now waiting for the first big contraction to hit. She's mobile, we've taken a lap around the birthing wing and are anxious.
3:30 – Haven't really felt any change. We're saddled in and are now watching The Avengers.
6pm – Still playing the waiting game. B's contractions are starting to pick up. We have dinner on the way and are wondering if we'll be able to have it before they cut us off on the food.
9:10pm – We just visited with our doctor. There has been some change, but to say that things are moving more slowly than planned would be an understatement. We're definitely developing our patience. I feel bad for Bethany, as she sometimes has a difficult time getting comfortable. We're going to see where we're at later tonight and determine whether we need to take a break. By the way, we were able to get dinner as our last big meal for a while. The food was decent for hospital food, but nothing to write home about. Bethany ate Prime Rib and I had the French Dip.
11:11pm – Things are starting to pick up a bit. Bethany is starting to feel some painful contractions, and we're dilating further. At this point we're going to see if Bethany can sleep through a few of these and we can get in a nap before we hit full throttle.
The next sequence of events are approximations, as things kicked into high gear, and I'm not stupid enough to keep a real-time log of labor activities while my wife is enduring contractions. I'm going to try to keep this in present tense, offering my reactions at the time.
11:30pm – Bethany woke me up, as her contractions began to grow painful and were too unbearable to sleep through. We've been going through pain mitigation techniques with mixed forms of success.
12:30am – We're in full-pain labor now. We're going to spend some time in the tub to see if that helps out. Nurse Leah, who is working with us tonight has been phenomenal and so patient with us. She hasn't left our side through the whole thing.
– As the pain gets more intense, Bethany is starting to consider the epidural. The tub has been somewhat helpful, but since we've induced labor with Pitocin, the baby heart rate monitor is non-negotiable. We keep having difficulties with the monitors staying in place and are moving out of the tub. In leading up to labor, we discussed our desire to avoid the epidural if possible, but now with each contraction Bethany is asking for the Epidural. Right now I'm trying to remind her of our approach and at this point won't start taking the epidural demands seriously until she starts talking about them between contractions.
– Now we're between contractions and Bethany has started talking about the epidural. We re-evaluated our options and decided to proceed. We've signed the consent forms and are waiting for the anesthesiologist, who is currently working with another patient but should be a long shortly.
– We're on a whirlwind now. Things have begun progressing rapidly with dilation, and in no time we have the end in site. Now we're approaching the borderline. Bethany has been a champ with the contractions, doing a great job of focusing on her breathing. The doctor has been woken up and is here, that must mean we're close, right?
– Ok, the anesthesiologist is here, but now we're approaching a point where Bethany can start pushing soon. While the epidural will relive pain, at this point it's going to prolong what has been a pretty fast labor. Bethany and I look at each other and agree that we'll go ahead and take the gamble with the shorter labor.
– Bethany's been a champ at pushing and we've seen some real progress. We don't have a great sense of how much longer we're going to be, but can feel the continued progress. With each contraction different things start coming out of our transformer bed: handles and leg platforms to help position during pushing.
– Our doctor has told us that this next contraction is likely going to be the one. Next thing we know the amount of medical staff in the room have doubled and what looks like a caterers table of medical instruments has appeared in the room. The foot of the bed got removed and our doctor gets decked out with the semi-OR garb – all within about a minute.
3:58 - Doc was right, this was the last contraction. Bethany went to a place I didn't think she had and pushed and out came our little… baby!
– Is it a girl? All this time we've thought we were having a girl, and our doctor moves away the umbilical cord to reveal: girl parts! No repainting of the nursery needed! Our baby girl has been placed on Bethany's chest. "Dad, ready to cut the cord?" I look around and it takes me a half-second to realize they're talking to me. "Dad" hasn't set in yet. Snip goes the cord.
5:00am – Clara, the name we've chosen for our baby girl is now happily feeding from her Mom. I've now taken this opportunity to go nuts with the camera and take a ton of pictures. I take this opportunity to start making some phone calls and let our families know about their new addition.
5:30am – The nurse performs all of the measurements for Clara and we find out that she weighs 7.31 lbs and is 19.5 inches long. We got to take her footprints, of which we got a set of our own.
6:00am – The delivery room – the room we've occupied for the better part of the last day – is no longer needed. I got to wheel Bethany out while she carried Clara over to the room where she'll spend the first day of her life…Leave a Comment

Georgia Title Insurance Rate & Intangible Tax Calculator
Easily estimate the title insurance premium and transfer tax in Georgia, including the intangible mortgage tax stamps. Title insurance is a closing cost for purchase and refinances mortgages. Title insurance rates will vary between title insurers in Georgia. This title calculator will estimate the title insurance cost for 1 - 4 unit residential and refinance transactions. Please send me an E-mail if you see an error or want to make a comment.
Who pays the transfer tax in Georgia?
By custom, the seller pays the state transfer tax and the buyer pays the intangible tax (mortgage tax). Although, the sales contract defines who pays what tax.
Am I required to use an attorney for settlement?
The Supreme Court of Georgia has issued an opinion stating that it is unethical for a non-attorney to close a loan in the state of Georgia. This opinion covers re-finances as well as purchase deals. Now, if you are not an attorney this may not mean very much being that the State Bar of Georgia only has jurisdiction over attorneys. Many lenders have adopted the view that it is illegal for a non-attorney to close loans in Georgia. Others feel that it is OK for a Notary, who is not an attorney, to close loans. While I don't necessarily think that it is illegal for a non-attorney to close loans I believe that the consumer is much better served by having an attorney close their loans. SOURCE: Chalker & Chalker, P.C
Are the title insurance rates the same in Georgia?
Georgia is now a "file and use" state. This means that each title insurer files its published title rates with the Georgia Insurance Commissioner and title agents are not allowed to deviate from such rates when quoting premiums. The title insurance premiums will vary from title company to company. It pays to shop for title insurance rates in Georgia.

Well now I've gotta try mixing whey and OJ. Why has that not occurred to me before?
I think a big part of making macros easy is knowing that you can eat things that you like. There's no point in trying to choke down a chicken breast (I would rather be hit by a truck) if you know you would rather devour a steak. Eat da steak.

After The Lodgers and Brackenmore (my review for the latter will be out next week), The Cured is the third Irish horror film I watched in 2018.
And, just like with The Lodgers, I had a blast with this movie!
Directorial debut of David Freyne, The Cured is set in a world were, after a zombie outbreak, 75% of the people who turned have been cured. While society is trying to go back to normality, welcoming back the so-called cured, scientists are trying to reverse the zombification process for the remaining 25% of the infected. The audience follows Senan (Sam Keeley), a cured person who's sent to live with his sister-in-low (Ellen Page) and her kid, as he struggles to deal with the 4 years he spent as an undead. Because, to make matters worse for the cured, they're both welcomed with hostility by people and must deal with the vivid memories from the period when they were zombies.
This is a great concept for a movie, a concept that's smartly developed by Mr Freyne: first and foremost, he decides to narrow down the story. Unlike the majority of zombie flicks, which show the whole world getting affected by the outbreak, here the story unfolds in a small Irish town, providing the film with a sense of authenticity and realism that is pretty much unprecedented in such movies.
Very calmly paced, bleak and featuring sort of "human" zombies, The Cured is exceptionally directed: without a doubt, this is the most evenly paced horror film of 2018 – so far – since it presents no dull moments nor sudden and inexplicable switches in tone and vibe.
Shot and edited in a somewhat minimalistic fashion – as in, photography and cinematography aren't anything mind-blowing, but they perfectly fit the movie – Freyne's first directorial effort flows seamlessly throughout the 90-minute-long runtime, becoming more and more down-on-earth as the time goes by. Without being pretentious or trying too hard, The Cured showcases an insane amount of competent shot compositions and framing, demonstrating how much effort was put into the project.
The same effort that each of the cast members surely put: Ellen Page and Sam Keeley are fantastic in the movie, displaying mesmerising performances that, at the beginning of the third act, reach a pinnacle with one of the most emotional confrontations I've seen in a while. Even the supporting cast, albeit rather one-note, do an outstanding job that fits their roles.
Although The Cured is foremost a drama, the horror elements seamlessly blend in, with a few scenes that stand out as very creepy and impactful. Being fully aware of the budget restraints, the filmmakers rarely went for berserk zombie actions… but when they did, it was loads of fun. Not mindless fun, though, since the audience got invested in the characters, therefore we experience with apprehension these action sequences.
A great, fitting grand finale perfectly wraps the movie up, leaving no room for major complaints.
Besides, The Cured might have more to tell than meets the eye – I personally, have an interpretation for the movie's meaning that, albeit 100% spoiler-free, might affect your viewing experience, so feel free to skip the next paragraph.
THE CURED – MEANING EXPLAINED. Since the film is set in Ireland, my girlfriend and I figured it seems pretty obvious the story was a metaphor for the long-lasting civil war between Protestants and Catholics. In this scenario, the cured would represent Irish Catholics who are never really accepted as part of the society by the other religious group. Certain scenes in the movie (and other aspects I don't want to spoil), which resemble more terrorist attacks than zombie actions, seem to back up this interpretation.
Oh, welcome back guys!
As per usual, I have a few minor complaints with The Cure: for instance, there are a couple of dialogue sequences that seemed very hasty, where the movie switches abruptly from two characters speaking to a completely unrelated scene. There are also one or two fake jump-scares just for the sake of it, I guess…
My biggest issue, which I'm sure bothers only me and 2/3 other viewers and won't be a problem for most of you, revolves around the opening scene: a caption tell the audience everything we need to know about the film (which is what I used as plot description for this review). I, personally, would have preferred a subtler approach, where the viewer is introduced to the story without knowing anything and has to figure out, gradually, what's going on. By doing so, the filmmakers would have enhanced the audience's attention even more, building up a mystery the viewer would have loved to figure out.
I know, I'm a nit-picker! In fact, other than these very minute issues, I loved The Cured. I think most people are going to dig the movie as well, but I'm quite positive for some it would be too big of a departure from "traditional" zombie movies. Proceed with caution, and enjoy The Cured!
The Cured 8.5/10

Van Halen - "Little Guitars"
Osco Drug store, Moorhead, Minnesota, early 1982. My Dad was working across the river in Fargo and staying in a motel here in Moorhead. My Mom and I were in town to visit. My parents were elsewhere in the adjoining grocery and liquor stores shopping, I was in the Osco standing alone in front of an expansive magazine stand. We didn't have a stand like this in my town of Grand Forks, not that I knew of*. If I wanted to read a rock mag, generally I grabbed the latest Rolling Stone off the rack in my high school's library to read on a free period or asked for back issues from the librarian. This Osco stand had a beauty of a magazine that I had never seen: Creem Special Issue: Guitar Heroes of Rock 'n' Roll. There at the top it proclaimed: "America's Only Rock 'N' Roll Magazine". Photos on the cover: Jimi Hendrix! Keith Richards! Jimmy Page! And a host of other guitar slingers promised to be featured inside. I flipped around trying to absorb highlights of all the content. It was stacked page-to-page with features and a lengthy list of paragraph-each blurbs on all the other guitarists to make the cut. This is awesome, I thought. Then I didn't buy it. I'm guessing the cover price scared me away - $2.95. ($7.42 in today's dollars.) If memory serves, regular issues of magazines were about a dollar or so cheaper, so would I be getting burned by buying this three-dollar-plus (including sales tax) mag? Plus, I was on the clock. Mom and Dad would soon return from their shopping run and it was time to head out into the night. Whether I was hesitant, cheap, hurried, or was saving my cash for future gas money, I don't recall. All I know is that I have thought about that magazine ever since.
But hey: We have the Internet now, everything is possible. Because of course I found Guitar Heroes of Rock 'n' Roll on eBay, bought it NOW (no auction on this one, no more losing out) and had it shipped to my mailbox. For the price of $11.99 - including shipping - meaning I waited almost thirty-five years to pay $4.57 more for a decades-old magazine. But I can take that financial hit now, you can't get a beer plus tip for $4.57 these days in a bar unless you hit a lucky happy hour with bottles of Premium on special. And now that I had my grubby little paws on it, I'm so glad I finally stepped up and made this purchase. This magazine is a gem.
It has long-form features on Hendrix, Page, and Jeff Beck. It has shorter features on other notable guitarists, and those aforementioned paragraph blurbs. While there are oddly no mentions of Joni Mitchell or Michael Schenker, this is still the only source I have consulted that explains the whole Dave Edmunds/Nick Lowe/Rockpile jumble. I treasured every minute of reading this mag this fall. With a heady mix of reverence, wit, and insults, this shows that Creem was still running on all cylinders in the early eighties. Check these out:
On Russ Ballard: "...loss leader solo LPs for CBS..."
On Marc Bolan: "If T. Rex began as Donovan for the pre-pubescent set and wound up as Chuck Berry for the prenatals, well, that's show biz."
On Peter Frampton: "Since his screen debut in Sgt. Pepper's, Pete's had flop after flop. Nyah Nyah."
On Steve Hillage: "Would really excite you if had a beard, smoked a pipe, and read science fiction."
On Tom Scholz: "Light beer of rock 'n' roll guitarists: 'Everything you always wanted in a lead guitarist. And less.'"
On George Thorogood: "The more you drink, the better he sounds."
*Turns out the UND bookstore did.

I like to define entrepreneurs into one of two categories, they are either a hunter or gatherer.
A hunter is someone who's business requires them to go out every day and find new customers. Whereas a gatherer is much like a farmer who continuously harvests business from an established base of existing customers. The best businesses do both.
Of course, all entrepreneurs start out as hunters. They must, because they don't have an existing customer base from which to harvest. Survival in the early days requires hunting every day, otherwise they won't be in business very long.
Neglected Opportunities
Unfortunately, far too many entrepreneurs neglect the opportunities that exist to become a gatherer. They are so accustomed to the thrill of getting a new customer, they completely miss out on or don't realize the potential that exist from generating incremental business from their previous customer base.
Long vs Short Purchase Cycles
To be fair, some businesses have incredibly long customer purchase cycles. An example of this is roofing sales as most people only replace their roofs every 15-20 years. Another example is new car sales, whereby people are keeping their vehicles an average of 7+ years. So, trying sell these people any sooner is very difficult.
In these situations, there still exists the opportunity to harvest from these relationships through referrals to friends and families. Easy to do, but seldom tried and wastes all the goodwill generated. Even hunter type businesses can become gatherers, if they stay in business long enough.
Many other businesses with shorter purchase cycles, think months not years, still don't try to increase the purchase frequency. They are in such a habit of hunting that they overlook or fail to identify the many opportunities to promote complimentary or supplementary purchases. They just wait and hope that the customers return or calls them.
Look for Opportunities
Entrepreneurs that act as gatherers look for opportunities to be constantly in front of their customers, reminding them of the products and services they have to offer. With the all tools available today, such as, social media or email, staying visible is far easier than ever before.
Hunting everyday is far more difficult than gathering. Finding a balance between hunting and gathering can reduce the pressure to find a new customer every single day. Understanding whether you're a hunter or gatherer business allows you to design the most effective strategy that will allow you to maximize your potential from all the goodwill you've already generated.

HARDBALL: Trump Demands CNN Retract 'Totally False Information And Reporting'
Nowadays, "news" means you can say someone said something — and not even identify that "someone."
That new kind of journalism happens every day. Even the top newspapers in the country, like The Washington Post and The New York Times, do it.
Now, add CNN to that list.
On Friday night, "Out Front with Erin Burnett" reported that "multiple officials" in the Trump administration have told the network that President Donald Trump routinely uses his personal cellphone to make phone calls "despite repeated warnings" by his staff. CNN said Trump has heard the warnings but "doesn't care."
"White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins told CNN anchor Erin Burnett that Trump had been repeatedly warned that his calls could be vulnerable to 'foreign surveillance,' which had been a concern of the staff 'since he took office' and how the ongoing impeachment inquiry has 'revived' such concerns," Fox News reported.
Trump fired back almost immediately.
"Fake News @CNN is reporting that I am 'still using personal cell phone for calls despite repeated security warnings.' This is totally false information and reporting," Trump wrote on Twitter. "I haven't had a personal cell phone for years. Only use government approved and issued phones. Retract!"
Fake News @CNN is reporting that I am "still using personal cell phone for calls despite repeated security warnings." This is totally false information and reporting. I haven't had a personal cell phone for years. Only use government approved and issued phones. Retract!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 7, 2019
The CNN journalists behind the report responded to the tweet, saying: "We stand by our story," Fox reported.
It isn't the first time a mainstream media outlet has claimed that Trump uses a personal cellphone for official government business. In a June story by esteemed New York Times' reporters Annie Karni and Maggie Haberman — news reporters — anonymous sources were used to make the same claim.
"Late at night, using his old personal cellphone number, President Trump has been calling former advisers who have not heard from him in years, eager to discuss his standing in the polls against the top Democrats in the field — specifically Joseph R. Biden Jr., whom he describes in those conversations as 'too old' and 'not as popular as people think,'" said the story's lead.
In the same piece, the journalists wrote this: "After being briefed on a devastating 17-state poll conducted by his campaign pollster, Tony Fabrizio, Mr. Trump told aides to deny that his internal polling showed him trailing Mr. Biden in many of the states he needs to win, even though he is also trailing in public polls from key states like Texas, Michigan and Pennsylvania. And when top-line details of the polling leaked, including numbers showing the president lagging in a cluster of critical Rust Belt states, Mr. Trump instructed aides to say publicly that other data showed him doing well."
And here's what happens with such reporting.
A short time later, liberal website Vox wrote a similar story, but didn't bother with any attribution at all. "During campaign rallies since he's become president, President Donald Trump has repeatedly dismissed polls that reflect poorly on him as somehow representing 'suppression,' or not including the 10 percent of people he thinks support him but refuse to say so publicly. But his denialism about bad polling now reportedly extends to polls conducted by his own campaign," Vox wrote.

FreeBSD Archive
GhostBSD 20.08.04 released
I'm back into the grind of FreeBSD's wireless stack and 802.11ac
FreeBSD 11.4 released
FreeBSD is an amazing operating system
FreeBSD 12.1 released
ZFS on FreeBSD based on ZFS On Linux can now be tested with TrueOS
FreeBSD 12.0 released
The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the availability of FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE. This is the first release of the stable/12 branch.
The full release notes have all the details.
FreeBSD desktop: pause any application
After using UNIX for so many years I knew that I could freeze (or pause) any process in the system with kill -17 (SIGSTOP) signal and then unfreeze it with with kill -19 (SIGCONT) signal as I described in the Process Management section of the Ghost in the Shell - Part 2 article. Doing it that way for the desktop applications is PITA to say the least. Can you imagine opening xterm terminal and searching for all Chromium or Firefox processes and then freezing them one by one every time you need it? Me neither.
Fortunately with introduction of so called X11 helper utilities - like xdotool(1) - it is now possible to implement it in more usable manner.
Today I will show you how to freeze any X11 application with single keyboard shortcut or mouse gesture if you utilize them in any way with small simple script.
Handy little trick. The entire series of articles by the same author about FreeBSD on the desktop are interesting and informative reads.
Today is FreeBSD Day
We're pleased to announce that June 19 has been declared FreeBSD Day. Join us in honoring The FreeBSD Project's pioneering legacy and continuing impact on technology.
Why today? Well, 25 years ago to the day, the name FreeBSD was chosen as the name for the project. FreeBSD formed the base of all kinds of operating systems we use every day today - like macOS and iOS and the operating systems on the Nintendo Switch and Playstation 3, 4, and Vita - and FreeBSD code can be found in the unlikeliest of places, such as Haiku, which uses FreeBSD network drivers, and even Windows, which, although information is sparse, seemed to at one point use FreeBSD code for command-line networking utilities like ftp, nslookup, rcp, and rsh.
FreeBSD quarterly status report Q2 2017
Much of the development work done this quarter was not particularly visible, especially the effort needed to ensure the upcoming 11.1 release has as few regressions as possible. Planning is also well under way for the 10.4 maintenance release which will quickly follow it.
Further work focused on moving the arm architectures' support closer to tier-1 status and improving documentation. In addition, large changes were made to the src and ports trees.
FreeBSD 11.1 released
FreeBSD 11.1 has been released, and as you can tell by the version number, it's a point release. The release announcement, release notes, and errata are available for your perusal. FreeBSD users already know full well how to upgrade - they're probably already running it - and newcomers can go to the download page to download the proper ISO.
FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE released
The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the availability of FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE. This is the first release of the stable/11 branch.
Some of the highlights:
- OpenSSH DSA key generation has been disabled by default. It is important to update OpenSSH keys prior to upgrading. Additionally, Protocol 1 support has been removed.
- OpenSSH has been updated to 7.2p2.
- Wireless support for 802.11n has been added.
- By default, the ifconfig(8) utility will set the default regulatory domain to FCC on wireless interfaces. As a result, newly created wireless interfaces with default settings will have less chance to violate country-specific regulations.
- The svnlite(1) utility has been updated to version 1.9.4.
- The libblacklist(3) library and applications have been ported from the NetBSD Project.
- Support for the AArch64 (arm64) architecture has been added.
- Native graphics support has been added to the bhyve(8) hypervisor.
- Broader wireless network driver support has been added.
The release notes provide the in-depth look at the new release, and you can get it from the download page.
FreeBSD 10.3 released
The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the availability of FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE. This is the third release of the stable/10 branch, which improves on the stability of FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE and introduces some new features.
It's got a ton of improvements to the UEFI boot loader, the Linux compatibility layer, and a whole lot more.
New FreeBSD Quarterly Status Report published
The latest FreeBSD Quarterly Status Report is out.
Efforts to bring our BSD high standards to new architectures continue, with impressive work on arm64 leading to its promotion to Tier-2 status and a flurry of work bringing up the new RISC-V hardware architecture. Software architecture is also under active development, including system startup and service management. A handful of potential init system replacements are mentioned in this report: launchd, relaunchd, and nosh. Architectural changes originating both from academic research (multipath TCP) and from the realities of industry (sendfile(2) improvements) are also under way. It is heartening to see how FreeBSD provides a welcoming platform for contributions from both research and industry.
Everything you need to know to be up to date with FreeBSD.
From OS X to FreeBSD: a return to form
I am less frustrated, and more focused working on this setup. A big chunk of that is even outside the constant popups in OS X, there's simply less to be distracted by.
I've gone so far as to have to literally switch a cable to move between machines (as opposed to a KVM), to help me train my brain into a different context.
Overall I'm quite happy with the choices I made here.
A nice write-up from someone switching from OS X to FreeBSD, and everything that entails.
pfSense 2.2 released
This release brings improvements in performance and hardware support from the FreeBSD 10.1 base, as well as enhancements we've added such as AES-GCM with AES-NI acceleration, among a number of other new features and bug fixes. Jim Thompson posted an overview of the significant changes previously.
A comparative introduction to FreeBSD for Linux users
This series will show you how to get started with a FreeBSD cloud server. The first article will explain some of the differences between Linux and FreeBSD. The tutorials that follow cover the basics of FreeBSD security, maintenance, and software installation. If you are new to FreeBSD, this series will help you get up and running quickly.
I'm sure many die-hard FreeBSD users will find this series of article pointless, but I think it's an interesting and useful introduction to the platform.
FreeNAS 9.3 released
The FreeNAS project, a network attached storage solution based on FreeBSD, has launched FreeNAS 9.3. The new version introduces some significant changes, including the ability to roll back software updates and a new, streamlined interface.
This FreeNAS update is a significant evolutionary step from previous FreeNAS releases, featuring a simplified and reorganized Web User Interface, support for Microsoft ODX and Windows 2012 clustering, better VMWare integration, including VAAI support, a new and more secure update system with roll-back functionality, and hundreds of other technology enhancements.
The release notes for FreeNAS 9.3 contain more details and instructions for upgrading from previous releases.
FreeBSD improves arm64 support
The FreeBSD Foundation published a report yesterday on the status of FreeBSD running on 64-bit ARM processors. Work to port FreeBSD to the 64-bit ARM architecture has been progressing quickly and it is now possible to boot a FreeBSD installation into single user mode on the young architecture.
The kernel bring-up portion of the project is nearing completion; FreeBSD/arm64 boots to single-user mode on ARM's reference simulator. Work is underway on the remaining kernel drivers, and on userland support. This project's overall goal is to bring FreeBSD/arm64 to a Tier-1 status, including release media and prebuilt package sets. More information about the arm64 port can be found on the FreeBSD wiki.

Billionaire SAS software pioneer Goodnight paves successor's way
(Bloomberg) --More than four decades after co-founding SAS Institute, Jim Goodnight is considering some changes.
The college professor-turned-entrepreneur is grooming his 54-year-old chief operating and technology officer Oliver Schabenberger to eventually take over when he retires, Goodnight said last week in an interview.
Goodnight has headed SAS -- the world's largest closely held software company by revenue -- since its inception in 1976. Despite its low profile, the firm had revenue of $3.27 billion in 2018, thanks to analytic platforms that are used by more than 83,000 businesses, governments and universities.
The changes at the top aren't imminent and are part of a longer-term strategy. Goodnight, 76, is still in the office every day and remains an active chief executive officer.
"I can't retire yet," he said. "My golf game is terrible."
Asked if he'd ever consider selling, Goodnight said "if the right offer came along," but later added "we are not considering a sale of the company for the foreseeable future."
Still, that's a more accommodating stance than a decade ago, when the company said "We don't have a sign in the front yard by any means."
AI Investment
Since then, the business of analyzing data has attracted plenty of deep-pocketed rivals like Alphabet Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and International Business Machines Corp. To keep pace, SAS is increasing its investment in artificial intelligence with a $1 billion push to further automate data analysis decisions. Over the past two years, the firm has been incorporating AI into its anti-money laundering tool for financial institutions.
"I have always thought in terms of two years down the road," Goodnight said. "Two years out, I think we will have brought AI to a lot more of our solutions."
The business Goodnight and his colleagues spun out of North Carolina State University has become one of the biggest companies in the region. Revenue has grown every year since 1976, helping make Goodnight -- who owns two-thirds of the company -- the 39th richest person in the U.S. with a $13 billion fortune, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
But monetizing that fortune could prove tricky, given the competitive landscape.
"SAS might be past its sell-by-date," said Rita Sallam, an industry analyst at Gartner. "They were really the only game in town maybe 10 years ago before the rise of open source, before the rise of cloud. There is a much broader set of options for people looking to deploy data science and machine learning."
Statistics Professor
Still, SAS is a company with plenty of major retail and bank clients who depend on it, she said. "It's not going anywhere anytime soon," she said.
Goodnight went from NCSU statistics professor to executive after he and his co-founders were invited to speak at an event for users of the statistical analysis software -- or SAS -- they'd developed to improve crop yields. When 350 people showed up, Goodnight realized they were on to something.
"We were the stars of the show," Goodnight said. "We said we need to get out of the university. We can't grow here -- and it was pretty clear that we could be successful."
Things took off quickly
"We just tried to end the year making as much money as we did at the university, but by the second or third year we were doubling revenue every year," Goodnight said.
Recruiting Locally
SAS is located just outside of Raleigh, North Carolina, which has been an advantage for the company, Goodnight said. It allows them to recruit heavily from three nearby universities: Duke, North Carolina and NCSU.
"It's great because we don't have to pay quite as high of salaries as Silicon Valley does," he said, adding that the cost of living is lower in the region and it still offers competitive compensation. "We're seeing more and more companies trying to get out of Silicon Valley. Rent for a one-bedroom is $3,000 a month and the prices have just gone out the roof."
Schabenberger also taught college statistics before joining SAS in 2002, first at Michigan State University and then at Virginia Tech.
"I didn't join SAS to be a manager, to be in the C-suite," he said. "I joined to write code. I love programming and I was looking for a challenge."
If he's named to the top job, he should have plenty of challenges.
"They have a very large installed base of legacy software, but new growth is relatively flat," Sallam said. "One of the challenges SAS has with its installed base is their business model. It's very complex, viewed as expensive and difficult to use -- exactly the opposite of what companies are looking for when they buy analytics software."
Growth Opportunities
Schabenberger only sees growth opportunities, saying that SAS's offerings will more effectively enable customers to leverage big data.
"Devices we're using today, they're somewhat smart, but they're still kind of dumb," he said. "What if we could have those devices learn. What if the car actually learns how you drive and the phone learns your voice and what if they communicate with each other and form an informal network."
When Schabenberger does take the reins, Goodnight should have ample opportunities to work on his golf game. He's the co-owner of Prestonwood Country Club, which has three courses.
"I just don't know if it'll get any better," he said.


text: J Shank 27 Posted January 2, 2019 Colts got shut out by the Jags, and we hung 40 on them. The fact is, the Cowboys came out flat and did not have any passion. If that happens in the playoffs they - or any other team - deserve to lose. But, I doubt that would happen in the Playoffs. If anything, the Defense may get too hype, show out in the first half and get tired towards the end... allowing for Russ magic. I think the thing no one is really talking about is Dak's legs. He NEEDS to be an actual running threat. He needs to be an aggressive runner. He sometimes runs conservatively. Even in the GB playoff game (he was amazing overall), he could have grabbed a few more yards here, a few more there, had he really manned up at the end of some runs. No more playing for 'next time'. IMO, he needs to pull the ball down and run, instead of lackadaisically doing 180s and getting sacked. With that said, I don't think we depend on it. He needs to come in and establish himself as a real, aggressive, rushing threat. This will freeze the edges, not only helping to slow the pass rush, but also helping Zeke and the read-option/RPO game. Then, transition back to our more traditional style. I really think this would take the Seahawks by surprise and keep them honest throughout the game because the threat was established early on. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quick Roasted Butternut Squash
So this is a simple roasted butternut squash recipe that you can use for many other recipes, soups, mashed butternut squash, or even roast it plain and use them for smoothies. It really is super simple and foolproof, and there are a couple way to do it as well, and I will touch on those further down.
I refer to roast them with the skin on because it makes it easier to remove it after it has been cooked and cooled. Peeling butternut squash is just a bit annoying. Also I remove the seeds, but you can even leave them in and remove them after cooking as well. I roast mine with olive oil and some salt, pepper, rosemary, and ground sage. Different uses have different seasonings though.
Just set your oven to 400°, and throw them in the oven for about 45-60 minutes. You know their cooked when a fork easily pierces the flesh.
I used this specific squash to make some Roasted Butternut Soup but you can use it for a variety of things! I even like just scooping it with a spoon and eating it!
Also if you want to peel and cube them to roast them, set the oven to 425° and roast for about 30 minutes or until they start to brown slightly, for 1-inch cubes. Season similarly to my original recipe and add some smoked or normal paprika for extra flavor!

Latin Name: Salvia officinalis
Item #: 161
Helps Control Pests:
Presidents Choice
75 days. Hardy annual. Fragrant greyish leaves are used fresh or dried to flavor meats, dressings, sauces. Pkt contains 40 seeds.
75 days. Hardy annual. Bush 1.5 ft/46 cm plant. Fragrant greyish leaves are used fresh or dried to flavor meats, dressings, sauces etc. 3,200 seeds per oz./28g. Pkt contains 40 seeds.
SAGE - a popular herb for flavoring
oz/28g contains about 3,200 seeds
CULTURE: Sow seed indoors April 1st or outside May 1st, 0.25 in/6 mm deep, cover and firm. Space rows 2 ft/61 cm apart, thin plants to 6-8 in/15-20 cm apart. Sage is a hardy perennial in most parts of North America and matures a plant about 1.5 ft/46 cm high.
HARVEST: Cut tender leaves from the plant just before the plants start to flower. Older 3 or 4 year old plants get a bit "woody" so new planting should be started from cuttings or seed every 2 years. Velvety-gray leaves are as fascinating to look at as they taste! Particularly good with sausages, cheese fondue and poultry dressing.
