Well, I have been traveling a lot last couple of weeks. Started from Bangalore on 26th April and Returned back yesterday.
There were a lot of train journeys, in fact all of them were quite tiring.
I started off from Bangalore by Rajdhani Express to Delhi for a friend's marriage, which was on 28th April. I caught the train with just few minutes in hand. Due to my crunch timing, I got asthma attack and unfortunately with no medicine, I had to bear it throughout my train journey. It took around 34 hrs to reach Delhi by Bangalore by the fastest running long distance train of the country.
Even though I had my side upper berth confirmed, I had to exchange it for an old man to take up a still higher berth in the AC 3-tier coach.
I reached Delhi on 28th morning and then, straightaway head to Modi Nagar, some 30 odd kms from Meerut. The arrangements were good but I needed good sleep so that I could stay awake in the night. After some initial ceremonies, I straight away came to the hotel and collapsed. After a sound sleep of 5 hrs, I started for the marriage. The hotel arrangement was really good and very relaxing and of course, I needed it the most especially after the tiring train journey.
Garg, as I call him, and often known as Mr. Bean of our class was not ready at all. I have seen so many marriages where the groom used to be the limelight much before the marriage but it was really calm and quiet here. He took just about 20 min to get ready and I helped him out there and we were ready for the pooja before proceeding ahead.
After the finish of the rituals, we started to the temple on the horse. Each time cracker burnt, the horse gets disturbed and so does our Bean. To some extent, I felt he got scared that he asked me not to light the crackers.
Well, after seeking the blessings, we started off to the marriage place, which was about 1 km from the home. After so many dances along the road by the friends and relatives, we reached the marriage venue at about 9pm in the night. Everything was good here except the band walking with us. He was pathetic with the choice of the songs. Additionally, I did not like the idea of flaunting money every now and then while dancing (this is a personal opinion). Every time money was flaunted, some street children used to compete with the badn people to take that 10 rupee note.
Well, the marriage venue was a farm house and Sonam's family was too huge but at the same time kind heart ed and great to hold the marriage so lavishly. The food items were in plenty and everything from pizzas to rice, dal, juices, fruits, everything was available in plenty. I stayed close to Garg as he was almost alone after we reached there. It was almost around 12 am when the JayMala happened and I can tell you, it was one of the best I have seen till date. Revolving Platform added to the charm.
After a flurry of photographs, the dinner happened around 1.30 am.
The marriage ceremony started at around 2.30 am but by then, almost everyone had left the arena except close people like us and families. Now, though I like dancing, I could not make much out of the occassion basically I was down before I reached there, as mentioned earlier but I must say that I missed some golden chance to flirt with the sisters of Sonam (Sorry Bhabhi, did not mean to be -ve) but honestly, all of them were equally beautiful and smart. But I promise I will make the most next time on my visit.
The ceremony ended at around 6am and we came back to home. After grahapravesh, I came back to the hotel and took off in an hour. I planned to start with Garg's Mausi as they were also about to come to New Delhi to catch the train, though we had a time difference of around 4 hrs. Now, that was the toughest period for me. I will keep this marriage close to my hear due to two reasons: Uncle's love and kindness to make me a part of their family each time cousins are called upon for every ritual and also Aunty's lunch and gift during return time.
My toughest time was in the station as not having slept and passing around 5 hrs, was a very tough task. I really struggled for those 5 hrs. I skipped the lunch so that it does not worsen my situation. The moment I boarded the train. ate my lunch and just slept. In fact, the TTE woke me up to verify the ticket and he immediately saw me off seeing my RED eyes probably.
Anyways, this journey from New Delhi to Bhubaneswar, I just slept and slept like a hell. The next day I reached home.
Now, here is the second part of the story. I got my tooth operated on Saturday and had to live on liquid for 2 days then.
The pain is still there but it was an important one. So, now I am without my wisdom tooth on both sides but I hope my wisdom does not leave me at least for couple of years so that I can get the thing I want badly in my life.
Well, I am back now to Bangalore and joined office. Have some work to do and catch on my pending tasks soon so as not to lose the momentum. All in all, I end this post wishing the newly wed couple Abhinav and Sonam a very great happy married life. And Sonam, feel free to touch base me for anything about Abhinav. I know almost everything.

Well, I have been traveling a lot last couple of weeks. Started from Bangalore on 26th April and Returned back yesterday.
15 December-A year before and now
Posted in Bay Area, Dreams, Entrepreneurship, Events, India, Love, My Tours, Personal, USA, Views on December 16, 2008| Leave a Comment »
15 December 2007 was a very special day for me. I was in USA last year at this time. I remember that it was Saturday. I started from Bangalore on 15 December, 2007 Saturday morning to reach San Francisco on the same day evening Pacific time. It was my first overseas travel and that also to a dream destination, where I always wanted to be.
Those 2.5 months of stay changed my whole perspective of life. Earlier, I wanted to be in India but that visit changed me to go back there. It did not happen till I was there. But the moment I came back to India, I knew what I was missing. Its not only the vibrant nature and beauty but also the energy and power. My struggle became tougher once I came back. I was filled with higher aspirations, much bigger dreams and higher courage to reach those heights. I can say that I was fortunate enough to have visited California on my first overseas travel. The whole state was amazing. One could easily feel the vibrancy of entrepreneurship and risk-taking nature of people around. There was something different there where I guess nowhere can be found. People are always bubbling with so much energy and passion for fulfilling their dreams.
15 December, 2008 and I am in India and struggling but with a hope that one day I will be in such an environment where I can make all my dreams come true. I never remembered this difference and I happened to talk to one of my colleague who went to USA with me on the same day. Fortunately or unfortunately, he mentioned the date to me and the mention was enough to put me back into frustration again.
I just hope 15 December, 2009 won't be the same at all.
My First USA Trip
Posted in Events, Fun, General, My Tours, Others, USA on December 21, 2007| 1 Comment »
Well, I remember being in Undergraduate college, going to USA to work for an IT company, was a dream and thats not true for me only but everyone else too in India. But later when I was doing my Masters/Graduation, I realized that there is no better than India and I never opted to go abroad. Even during my final term during my graduation, I opted out of a Singapore company assignment at Singapore to stay back in India and worked for Motorola Labs at Bangalore. Then, when I got the job at Oracle, it was all good. And after 4 months of service, I got an opportunity to visit the Headquarters at Redwood Shores, USA. Redwood City is very near to San Francisco in the California state, the elite silicon valley of the world. All my process happened in two weeks in India and I was prepared to fly. Parents came down to Bangalore to see me off at the Airport. The travel was to fly backwards in time in the globe. I started on 15th Dec morning from Bangalore and reached San Francisco same day evening. The Singapore Airlines is good and the crew is really nice. I reached Singapore same day evening at around 4.30 pm Singapore time and after 50 minutes, I was set to fly to San Francisco to reach there on the same day evening at 6.30 pm US time. But don't go by the timings as I flew for almost 5 hrs in the first flight and 21 hrs in the second flight. This was my first International flight experience. The second flight though, stopped at Hong Kong Airport for a while. I booked the cab to the Hotel. The company has made my stay at Hyatt Summerfield Suites at Belmont. Staying at Hyatt chain of hotels is really elite and all the arrangements are quite comfortable except that they don't provide Lunch and Dinner and we have to arrange for them or eat outside. Started eating those Ready to made food and all out here and though, not completely out of the Jet Lag, sometimes get fast asleep at 7pm to wake up here at 2 am or so but now I am more controlled now. Had been to few restaurants now and bought some food items from the Malls. All the malls were too majestic and vast. Not to mention, Namaste Plaza, the pure Indian Mall with all the Indian-made Groceries. Its not yet even a week and I have already spent 100$, isn't that great. The HQ is great with full of Indians and Chineses and I was drawn to conclusion that either Americans are too smart to be real good technologists or else they just do business with all left to the Indians and Chinese for the rest, atleast seems to be true in IT sector here. I have not really taken any videos or photos, so once I have them, will share all. Till now, I have been to just seen one restaurant only at Foster City of American Culture. Huge Majestic TV screens with lots of nice cool ambience, people talking everywhere. Beer and wine glasses being tossed, huge special Chicken meals, that we ordered with just Chicken and some additional add-ons like spinach, majestic huge boiled potatoes and all. The one most happening thing that happened there was Annahid. She was waitress serving us on our table and we, being pretty sure of her being an Indian, at last found her no to be. But not to forget, she was damn beautiful and gorgeous in her coat and pant and looked awesome to each one of us. I would definitely like to go there once a month or so till I am here just for her [Joking], but not to forget, the restaurant was damn costly. I don't remember the name as of now but will update you all later. This weekend, I am going to LA and targeting to cover atleast Universal Studios and Disney World. Its definitely a great time to be here with so mush individual lightnings around on the ve of Christmas and New Year.
Not to forget again, I have got some good challenging work here but still I suck with some of the usual testing stuff I used to do for my India office with daily meetings with my Indian Manager here. I really suspect why people, that though Indian, don't trust on the capabilities of their fellows. Anyways, everyone has their own way of working and I respect that. But the attitudes need to be changed, which I have always said and continue to do so. For me, daily status meetings sucks and that also beacuse we have come from India on some assignments here.
Ok, guys will update you on my LA tour next week. Till then, good bye.

What do you think of the new profile? It's very pretty. I was going to have a custom design but it was taking too long and I realised it doesn't really matter. As long as it is easy to read, the content is more important. Original branding can come later. So thanks to Militaru for the design. I would link to their site, but it is just a page of Google ads.
The changes promised in the title are also a result of me realising how limited time is. I have a month until uni goes back and about a trillion in progress projects.
So, I have given up on reading Traders, Guns and Money by Satyajit Das and moved on to The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. I'm apprehensive because it does seem to be the trendy book of the month, but we'll see. I still have Sat Das speaking at one of my events. I'd let you know how it goes but the organisation I work for isn't the most social media friendly and there's a gag order on my blog. So stay tuned for the review on The Tipping Point.
And the blogging cat. My housemate and I have been having a bit of fun with her new kitten. We can call her a Gen Z kitten as there isn't a name for 2009 children yet, so as a Gen Zer she needed to be online. The cat that is, my housemate's blog is already on the blog roll. So check out Elphaba Widget's blog and see how adorable she is.

In partnership with VICE Music Publishing, Waxwork Records is thrilled to present the debut double LP release of DARK SIDE OF THE RING Original Vice Series Music by Wade MacNeil and Andrew Gordon Macpherson.
DARK SIDE OF THE RING is a critically acclaimed television documentary series produced by VICE that premiered in 2019. The series lifts the veil on professional wrestling's most controversial stories and subjects. As the most watched show in VICE TV's history, the series ventures deep into wrestling's shrouded past, revealing the brutal and often tragic consequences of a life lived in the squared circle.
Reviews earned the first season a 100% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes and critics called it "thrilling" and "entertaining for everyone, an essential viewing for wrestling fans". The series garnered attention from the biggest names in wrestling including Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson who called the show "captivating" and "gripping". The New York Times called the show "An addictive exploration of pro-wrestling".
The pulsing series music is a synth driven, electronic score by accomplished film and video game composers Wade MacNeil and Andrew Gordon Macpherson. Wade MacNeil is the founder and guitarist of Alexisonfire. He also served as frontman of the UK punk band Gallows, hailed by the press as the best British band since The Clash. Andrew Gordon Macpherson is a producer, composer, and filmmaker who has worked with countless artists. He is an alum and studio team member of the Red Bull Music Academy.
Waxwork Records worked closely with VICE Music Publishing and DARK SIDE OF THE RING executive producer and writer Evan Husney and executive producer and director Jason Eisener to create the official double LP album of the series score. The deluxe packaging includes 180 gram opaque pink with purple smoke colored vinyl for disc one, and opaque blue with white smoke colored vinyl for disc two, with photography by Nathan Boone and design by James White aka Signal Noise.
DARK SIDE OF THE RING Original Vice Series Music Features:
Waxwork Records is proud to present SORCERER Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Tangerine Dream. Directed by William Friedkin (The Exorcist, Cruising) and starring Roy Scheider, Sorcerer is a 1977 intense, existential thriller that follows four outcasts from varied backgrounds that meet in a South American village. They are then assigned to transport cargos of aged, poorly kept dynamite that is so unstable that it is sweating its dangerous basic ingredient, nitroglycerin. The mounting expense to make the film required the involvement of two major studios, and production was troubled with its various filming locations in multiple countries, often times within dangerous rainforests and raging rivers. Sorcerer was a commercial failure and this has long been attributed to George Lucas's Star Wars which was released one month earlier, instantly becoming a pop-culture phenomenon and forever changing how Hollywood movies were made. Sorcerer has enjoyed a critical re-evaluation and is now widely considered to be a cinematic masterpiece.
The film's music by German Krautrock and electronic group Tangerine Dream features the band's first film score. Before the explosion of electronic and synthesizer based film scoring prevalent in the 1980's in movies such as Blade Runner and The Terminator, and before the explosive modern day interest and revival of successful synth-scored TV series' and movies such as Stranger Things and Drive, the music to Sorcerer by Tangerine Dream is a wildly influential blueprint and example of how movie scoring could be approached. Director William Friedkin instinctively sensed this during a chance encounter while witnessing a secret Tangerine Dream concert deep within the German Black Forest in an abandoned Church in the mid 1970's.
From Waxwork's SORCERER album liner notes by William Friedkin:
"They played for three hours to a mesmerized audience, completely in the dark, their only illumination coming from the little lights on their electric instruments. There were only three members of the band, but the sound they produced was orchestral. They didn't play songs, just long stretches of rhythmic chords that felt like musical spheres."
Waxwork Records is thrilled to present the complete Sorcerer soundtrack by Tangerine Dream, re-mastered from the original source audio, and pressed to 180 gram "Rainforest Green and Black" swirled vinyl. Features deluxe packaging, old style gatefold jackets with satin coating, exclusive liner notes by director William Friedkin, and new art by Tony Stella.
SORCERER Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Features:
Waxwork Records is thrilled to present JACOB'S LADDER Original Motion Picture Score By Maurice Jarre. Jacob's Ladder is a 1990 psychological horror movie starring Tim Robbins, Elizabeth Peña, and Danny Aiello. The film follows Jacob Singer, a Vietnam veteran, whose experiences before and during the war result in strange, fragmented visions and bizarre hallucinations that continue to haunt him. As his ordeal worsens, Jacob desperately attempts to figure out the truth. Though only moderately successful upon release, Jacob's Ladder garnered a cult following. Its plot and special effects became a source of influence for various other works such as the horror video game Silent Hill and the TV series American Horror Story. Kim Manners prepared for directing The X-Files episode "Grotesque" by listening to the score to Jacob's Ladder.
The experimental score by late French composer Maurice Jarre is dynamic and haunting with use of piano, synth, orchestral cues, and droning electronic soundscapes that feature reverberating horns, chants, tribal woodwinds, and chasing percussion. The avant-garde score is atmospheric and melancholy without sacrificing melody. It features seamless transitions that reflect Jacob's loneliness, grief, nightmares, and horrific hallucinations.
Waxwork Records is excited to present the complete score to JACOB'S LADDER as a deluxe vinyl release featuring high quality packaging, 180 gram "Subway Hallucination" metallic silver and metallic gold swirled vinyl, artwork by Jérémy Pailler, and audio re-mastered from the original master tapes.
Jacob's Ladder Original Motion Picture Score Features:
Waxwork Records is honored to announce the 40th Anniversary soundtrack release of director Martin Scorsese's 1976 cinematic masterpiece, TAXI DRIVER composed by the legendary Bernard Herrmann.
Featuring an all star cast including Robert DeNiro, Jodie Foster, Cybill Shepard, Albert Brooks, and Harvey Keitel, TAXI DRIVER is regularly cited by audiences, critics, and film directors alike as one of the greatest films of all time. The music by legendary composer Bernard Herrmann was his final score before his death on December 24th, 1975.
Nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, the film was considered "culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant" by the US Library of Congress and was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry in 1994.
Waxwork Records is excited to present TAXI DRIVER as a deluxe double LP featuring the complete film score by Bernard Herrmann on vinyl for the very first time. Also included is the complete and remastered original 1976 soundtrack release.
Waxwork Records had the immense pleasure of working with legendary director Martin Scorsese on this 40th Anniversary release to which the director provided new, in depth, and exclusive liner notes. The new album artwork by Rich Kelly is approved by director Martin Scorsese.
Waxwork Records is proud to present the Us Original Motion Picture Soundtrack featuring a score by composer Michael Abels. Us, released in March 2019, is an original nightmare written, directed and produced by Academy Award®-winning visionary Jordan Peele (Get Out). Set in present-day Santa Cruz on the iconic Northern California coastline, the film, starring Oscar® winner Lupita Nyong'o and Black Panther's Winston Duke, pits an ordinary American family against a terrifying and uncanny opponent: doppelgängers of themselves.
Abels featured a 30 person choir, a third of them children, in the "Anthem," and implemented Eastern European instruments, violins, percussion, and a virtual instrument called a Propanium drum. "It makes this trashy metal sound, but you can also play melodies on it," Abels said. "The Propanium drum has a sound that's both otherworldly but not electronic or like science fiction. It's a sound you can't quite put your finger on, which is why it works well in this film."
Also included on the soundtrack is the 1995 hip-hop hit "I Got 5 On It" by Luniz and the stand-out track "I Like That" by Janelle Monáe. Abels also helped with a new arrangement of the Luniz hit, which is featured on the soundtrack as the 'Tethered Mix from Us'.
Waxwork is thrilled to present the soundtrack and score as a deluxe double LP featuring 180-gram "Metallic Brass Scissors" colored vinyl for disc one, and "Tethered Red Jumpsuit" colored vinyl for disc two. The album artwork was created by illustrator Edward Kinsella. The interactive packaging includes die-cut inner gatefold jackets that require customers to use scissors to cut through family-member portraits to reveal their tethered doppelgängers lurking in the shadows on the printed inner sleeves housed within. More deluxe items include a die-cut mirror board back cover, a heavyweight 11"x11" art print, and an exclusive essay by UCLA Professor, scholar, and activist Shana L. Redmond Ph.D., author of Anthem: Social Movements and the Sound of Solidarity in the African Diaspora

Western Ultrasound for Women has been at the forefront of the introduction of screening for fetal abnormality, chromosomal anomalies and invasive testing (CVS and amniocentesis). It was the first specialist ultrasound practice to introduce NIPT (non-invasive pre-natal testing) for chromosomal anomalies in Western Australia in 2012. The practice has always provided patients with state of the art imaging technology and was the first to introduce 3D – 4D imaging into Western Australia. This is also the only private imaging practice in Western Australia to offer Lipiodol flushing for the treatment of unexplained fertility.
Our aim is not simply to provide patients with a report on the status of their pregnancy but to demonstrate what we are able to identify on ultrasound and communicate that information in a way that is easy to comprehend and reassuring.
We recognise that when situations are not straight forward it is stressful for our patients and in such situations, information should be given in a professional and compassionate manner.
Our practice has provided diagnostic ultrasound across all areas of obstetric and gynecological practice including fertility management, investigation of pelvic pathology both pre- and post-menopausal and disorders of pelvic floor function and anatomy.
Western Ultrasound for Women are a cohesive team of specialist doctors and ultrasonographers with a broad range of experience in all areas of Obstetrics and Gynaecology imaging with well organised and approachable secretarial support. Continuing education is very much a part of the way the medical team aims to continue to provide excellence in patient care. We regard excellence and compassion as our highest priorities.

Working at a national magazine in Washington, D.C., I'm continually boggled by the sheer lack of necessary information.
One would think that if you could think of a reasonable question — for example, how many Americans left the country during or around the Thanksgiving holiday for the purposes of leisure travel between 2000 and 2003? —someone, somewhere would be privy to that information.
I call someone and ask them. They don't know. I ask them who might. They give me phone numbers.
Nearly an entire work day goes by and I eventually make a circle of phone call referrals that leaves me back with the first incompetent organization, which only keeps records from 2001 — not 2000, for some reason, and certainly not anything more recent than 2001.
I'm sure it would take quite a bit of research to find something like that — certainly something beyond the means of the average person. But when your organization is called the Bureau of Transportation Statistics or the American Society of Travel Agents or the United States Department of Travel and Tourism, one should expect that you or someone you know might have some inkling as to what these numbers might be.

Portugal Market Outlook 2019
CBRE foresees that the investment volume will remain high, in historic terms, although a decrease is expected when compared to 2018. The lack of income assets should leverage the investment in development projects.
In the office market the shortage of new supply will continue throughout 2019, namely in Lisbon, leading to further rental increase and take-up reduction.
The growth of online purchases, the changes in consumption and lifestyle habits will continue to have a relevant impact on physical commerce, namely with operators streamlining the network and increasing the shop area, as well as shopping centres diversifying the tenant mix. High street prime rents are expected to increase.
There is also a lack of spaces available to let in the logistics market, both in Lisbon and Porto, and this shortage will limit take-up during 2019, with an expected fall in comparison to 2018. The development of light industrial warehouses in inactive manufacturing facilities, located near major urban centres, are an opportunity to accommodate the demand from small and medium enterprises and urban logistics operations.
Residential demand is expected to maintain the growing trend over 2019, with the domestic market gaining a higher share comparing to foreigners. In Lisbon, a supply increase is predicted, although it is still very low to accommodate the latent demand. The average price in the city is likely to start falling as new large scale development projects will start in zones out of the city centre.
In tourism, hotel demand will remain stable. In Lisbon, current occupancy rate is high and the lack of capacity in the airport conditions demand growth, driving the increase of the average room rate. However, supply is likely to grow more than in 2018, both in Lisbon and Porto, with a number of international brands entering the country.

Dumpsville! Ten Shafts The Biggest Loser From Prime Time
Channel Ten has dumped the struggling Biggest Loser: Transformed from its 7:30pm weekday spot after it suffered disastrous ratings in the first two weeks since its debut.
The show will continue to air, however, at a 1pm time slot on Mondays through Thursdays.
The new format, with new hosts Libby Babet and Shannon Ponton, focused more on overweight people than the morbidly obese and clearly has not resonated with viewers who appear to be missing regulars Michelle Bridges and Steve "The Commando" Willis.
It debuted on March14 to audience numbers under 500,000 forcing Ten to dump it from its Sunday night prime time slot. However, when these numbers halved Ten was forced to move the struggling show to the daytime slot. It even suffered the indignity of coming fifth, beaten by SBS's Great Continental Railway Journeys.
"We're disappointed," Ten program chief Beverley McGarvey said in statement. "It really hasn't resonated with audiences the way we had hoped."
"It is a very competitive time of year. There are two very established shows on (My Kitchen Rules and Married at First Sight) that are creating a lot of noise."
"We hoped it would do a lot better but it simply hasn't. We think we've given it as long as we possibly can. It will move to daytime from Monday."

Growth Pilots is one of the more exclusive performance marketing agencies in San Francisco, but they know how to help high-growth startups excel at paid marketing. CEO and founder Soso Sazesh credits his personal experiences as an entrepreneur along with his team's deep understanding of high-growth company needs and challenges as to what sets Growth Pilots apart. Whether you're a founder of a seed or Series D stage startup, learn more about Growth Pilots' approach to growth and partnerships.
Advice to early-stage founders
"I think a lot of times, especially at the early stage, founders don't have a lot of time so they're willing to find the path of least resistance to get their paid acquisition channels up and running. If things are not properly set up and managed, this can lead to a false negative in terms of writing off a channel's effectiveness or scalability. It's worth talking to an expert, even if it's just for advice, to ensure you don't fall into this trap."
On Growth Pilots' operations
[pullquote align="right" author="Guillaume McIntyre, SF, Head of Acquisition Marketing, Instacart"]"They have good business acumen, move fast and work as an extension to your internal team."[/pullquote]
"Something we pride ourselves on is working with relatively few clients at a time so we can really focus all of our team's efforts and energy on doing the highest quality work. Each of our team members works on a maximum of two to three accounts, and therefore they're able to get very invested in each client's business and integrated into their team. We really try to simulate the internal team dynamics as much as possible and pairing that with our external capabilities and expertise."
Below, you'll find the rest of the founder reviews, the full interview, and more details like pricing and fee structures. This profile is part of our ongoing series covering startup growth marketing agencies with whom founders love to work, based on this survey and our own research. The survey is open indefinitely, so please fill it out if you haven't already.
Interview with Growth Pilots Founder and CEO Soso Sazesh
Yvonne Leow: Tell me a little bit about your background and how you got into growth.
Soso Sazesh: I grew up in northern Minnesota where there is no tech industry whatsoever and then after high school, I came out to Silicon Valley and got exposed to the epicenter of the technology industry. I became very interested in startups and hustled to find startup internships so I could get experience and learn how they operated.
After a couple of startup internships, I got accepted to UC Berkeley and that gave me even more exposure to the startup ecosystem with all of the startup events and resources that UC Berkeley had to offer. I worked on a couple of startup projects while I was at UC Berkeley, and I taught myself scrappy product management and how to get software built using contract developers.
As I was graduating, I had just launched my second startup project and it was growing organically but very slowly, and I realized I didn't know how to acquire users. So I joined an SEM agency and that's where I learned and fell in love with digital marketing. I helped companies successfully acquire users at scale using Google AdWords and finally solved for the missing skills I needed. After a couple of years, I ventured off to try my hand at starting a company again, this time with more experience and a co-founder.
We went through the AngelPad accelerator and raised a small round of capital – what would be called a pre-seed round nowadays. It was an eye-opening experience. I gained a lot of appreciation for what it meant to be a startup operator hustling to build a product people wanted and trying to acquire customers.
Startups are a roller coaster and we had a lot of ups and downs. We ultimately we're not able to raise our next round of funding due to lack of traction and decided to shut the company down. As we were winding down, people in my network started coming to me looking for help with their digital marketing channels.
I started consulting for a few startups and identified an interesting opportunity, which was that very few startups knew how to do paid acquisition well and very few agencies were well-suited to work with startups. There was a huge gap in the market.
Some of these founders would come to me after trying to get paid acquisition to work on their own, but they didn't have the time or expertise to do it properly. Some of them would hire an agency and not see results, because most agencies don't understand the needs and grow-or-die nature of fast-moving startups. These agencies wouldn't allocate the time and resources needed to really understand these startups and work closely with them to make their paid channels work.
So that's exactly what I did and I was able to achieve results for them. I combined my previous expertise as a digital marketer with my recent startup operator experience and this allowed me to successfully help the startups I was consulting for. Due to the network effects in the startup community, I soon had more companies who wanted to work with me than I could take on alone and that's what led me to start Growth Pilots.
Yvonne Leow: Awesome. How does Growth Pilots differentiate itself from other agencies?
Soso Sazesh: Growth Pilots is "the" performance marketing agency for high-growth companies. We've worked with over 120 venture-backed companies over the past five and a half years, and we have really tailored our service offering around the unique needs and challenges of high-growth companies as they move from stage to stage. We've had this internal framework that breaks down paid acquisition needs based on company stage.
The first is what we call the early stage. At the early stage, companies are looking to establish and validate their paid marketing channels. These companies are typically seed stage or Series A startups looking to find channels that allow them to hit their metrics to achieve their goals for their next round of funding. These companies require a lot of time and attention, which is a bit paradoxical because their budgets are not very large.
The second stage is what we call the scaling stage. This is when companies are trying to achieve escape velocity and growth matters above everything else. This typically happens at the Series A through Series C stage. Their business model is working and ideally within sight of positive unit economics if not already there, but the main focus is acquiring customers at the fastest rate possible and less so on efficiency or profitability. This stage requires all hands on deck and non-stop testing and optimization to squeeze out as much velocity as possible from each channel. The stakes are very high at this stage and category-leading companies often emerge here.
Finally is the late stage. These companies are typically Series C or Series D and beyond and preparing for an exit or IPO. Growth often becomes slightly less important at this stage and the focus shifts to efficiency and improved unit economics. Optimization becomes even more critical at this stage and measurement and attribution get a lot more sophisticated to fully measure the impact of the paid channels.
The needs of companies are vastly different at each of these stages. Our focus is on helping companies achieve their goals within each stage and helping them move to the next stage.
Yvonne Leow: Cool. If I'm a founder and I'd like to work with Growth Pilots, what can I expect are our next steps?
Soso Sazesh: The first step is understanding the business and assessing if there's a mutual fit. We're very selective about the companies we take on because over the course of the five and a half years we've been able to establish which business models and verticals are conducive to paid marketing success.
For instance, marketplaces, e-commerce, B2B SaaS, mobile apps, and other business models where there is a transactional component is typically a good candidate for paid acquisition. We want to know what the goals are and we want to be able to confidently say that we believe we can achieve the goals at hand. If we can't say that, we won't take the company on.
Step two is determining what stage of our framework the company falls into and what the opportunity looks like. If it's an early stage company, it's more about assessing the product, the market, and how reachable their target customers are online.
For scaling-stage and late-stage companies that are already up and running, we'll dive into their current accounts and assess what the opportunity looks like and put together a strategy proposal based on our findings and outlook.
Yvonne Leow: What's the typical length for each project or partnership?
Soso Sazesh: We're not project-based so when a company comes to work with us we effectively become an extension of their marketing team. There's no set duration. We've worked with some companies for five years and some companies we've worked with for 12 months.
If we work with a company less than 12 months, something is wrong and we probably shouldn't have taken that company on as a client but you don't always know how things will play out. Overall our goal is to work with companies in a long-term capacity as an integrated partner. Something we pride ourselves on is working with relatively few clients at a time so we can really focus all of our team's efforts and energy into doing the highest quality work.
Each of our team members only works on a maximum of two to three accounts, and therefore they're able to get very invested in each client's business and integrated into their team. We really try to simulate the internal team dynamics as much as possible while balancing and pairing that with our external capabilities and expertise.
Yvonne Leow: Are you at the point in your experience that you can apply certain growth strategies and guarantee success?
Soso Sazesh: Guarantee is a tough word, but having worked with more than 120 startups we are definitely at the point where we have enough data points where we can look at a given business and assess the viability of whether they'll likely see success on paid channels. Success being a combination of scale and efficiency.
Yvonne Leow: Can you talk a little bit about how you and your team assess that?
Soso Sazesh: The first things we look at are business model, product quality, and whether or not product market fit exists or is likely to be achieved. Even a great business model in a large market combined with a poor product or lack of product market fit is unlikely to succeed with paid acquisition. In the absence of having a live product, or if a company is too early to assess product-market fit, we look at other data points that we have found to be good indicators of viability. Some of these include competitor success with paid marketing, the founders' backgrounds, amount of capital raised, and who their investors are.
Yvonne Leow: What were some of your greatest lessons learned when you started Growth Pilots?
Soso Sazesh: In the early days of Growth Pilots, there was so much activity and growth that we ignored important things like team infrastructure and people operations. We saw the effects of this in the form of team morale taking a hit and people not seeing a future with us. We eventually took notice and course corrected by investing heavily in people operations and employee development. In an ideal world, we would have done this much earlier.
Another interesting reflection is how critical the work we do is. I think this is what a lot of agencies get wrong. You need the commitment to work with startups. You can't be one foot in and one foot out when a company may live or die by the work you are doing. A lot of the companies that we work with explicitly outline what goals they need to hit in order to raise their next round of funding and it becomes very clear what part we play in that.
Yvonne Leow: What advice would you give to early-stage founders who are deciding whether or not to work with an agency?
Soso Sazesh: When you work with an agency it's really important to have clear goals and expectations established up front. A lot of times early-stage companies hire agencies, and agencies will gladly take their money, but the agency isn't really investing the time that's needed to get results. So asking "What does it look like to work with your agency? Who's going to be working on my account? How much attention can I expect to receive?" Those types of questions are really important to clarify and especially at the early stage.
Yvonne Leow: What's a common mistake you see founders make when it comes to growth?
Soso Sazesh: The most common mistake I see is not doing the upfront work and investment required to get optimal results with paid acquisition. A lot of times you see the founder mentality of move fast and figure things out later kicks in, but this can be dangerous when it comes to paid marketing when you're directly paying for traffic and customers. This leads to companies not seeing the performance and scalability that they actually could and it contributes to the negative perception of channels like Google Ads and Facebook Ads. VCs, for example, love to bash paid marketing channels as being too expensive or too saturated. There is certainly some truth to the channels getting more crowded but at the same time, you would be surprised how poorly setup and managed some of the accounts are that we look at, including companies that have raised tens to hundreds of millions of dollars.
Yvonne Leow: Thanks for sharing. Last question: what is your payment structure?
Soso Sazesh: We charge based on a tiered percentage of ad spend managed with a monthly minimum retainer fee of $10,000 at the lowest level. Our minimum fee is frankly much higher than a lot of other agencies and that's by design. This goes back to what I was saying before about early-stage companies requiring a disproportionate amount of work relative to their budgets in order to be successful with paid acquisition. We apply a lot more focus and resources than other agencies and this allows us to achieve success where other agencies can't. The tradeoff is that we need to charge more to deliver this higher quality of service.

Back when I had just started out blogging, I was new to the whole networking thing.
Networking. You know, heading to an event where you generally only know 1 or 2 people (if that), and the rest are complete strangers?
Yep – those events where you are practically forced to chat to people that you don't know.
But that's the point of networking isn't it? To meet people that you may never have crossed paths with if it hadn't of been for that particular event, and to make some serious connections.
I used to absolutely HATE networking. Hated it. Despised it actually.
And you know what I did to overcome it? I went along to events anyway and just did it. No matter how bad my anxiety was beforehand, I would remind myself how important going to these events are for business development, and that there is always someone new to meet, a new connection to make or new business opportunity to gain from attending these events.
Now, I don't LOVE them, but I don't hate them either. In fact, I recently spoke at a Women's Collective networking event, something I used to only dream of being able to do back when I was very anti networking.
Attending your first networking event can be daunting, so here are a few tips and tricks that I wish someone had told ME before my first networking night when I was a very shy, first year uni student!
1. It's always helpful to attend these events with a friend or work colleague. BUT, if you do go at it alone I recommend that upon arrival you do a stroll around the room and survey the atmosphere, before deciding what your next move will be.
2. If it's a blogger specific event, go into it knowing that you will always have something in common with the others who are attending – your blogs of course!
3. This may be a tough one for some, but you must be prepared to talk about yourself and what you do. In order to answer the "So what do you do" question effectively, have your elevator pitch ready. This way, when someone asks you what you do – you've got your answer prepped and ready to go.
4. A great way to network outside of more formal networking events, is to ask someone to meet for coffee. This is usually a quick and effective way of having a power catch up with someone, and generally you only need 15-20 minutes to chat. This way you get quality one-on-one time with that person. If this networking opportunity is for potential future job prospects, then go along prepared with questions and talking points.
5. If you don't have a LinkedIn profile already, click here and make one. LinkedIn can be a really useful resource for those who want to build working relationships, as well as keep up to date with others and what they are doing.
6. Remember that networking shouldn't just be about talking all things work work work. In order to assist you in progressing ahead in your career, it's important to keep in mind that those that you network with have lives outside of their office too. Make sure that you really get to know this person, and don't just contact them only when you need something.
7. In order to avoid being that person who is out of the loop in the conversation and ends up just nodding their head in appreciation, do your research. Read newspapers and magazines, online blogs and opinion posts. Keep informed on topics that are relevant to those who you are networking with. Knowing what's happening in the world also makes for great conversation starters too!
8. Research who is attending the event. Think about who is hosting the event, what their job role is, and if there was a guest list provided. If you can, have a quick look and see if you recognise any names or people that you may want to connect with at the event.
9. Don't ever drink too much. Save that for nights out with friends, outside of working hours. Of course help yourself to a complimentary beverage, but if you really want to be taken seriously, avoid going OTT with the champagne.
10. Always introduce yourself to the host or the team who have organised the event you're attending. I always ensure that these are the first people that I chat to, because there would be no event and no opportunity to network if it wasn't for them. Always thank them for organising the event, and for inviting you along, as these people have contacts and are the way in which you can continue to connect with people.
11. Take your time to network with people that you may not even have heard of, as you never know who they might be…
12. Which leads me to introducing to you the Fourth Person Rule.
For example: Person A is looking for a modelling opportunity. Person A meets Person B at a networking event/party and Person A tells Person B that they are an aspiring model. Person B says that she does not work with models, but she knows people who do…
After the event, Person A follows up with Person B via email, asking Person B to connect her with people that are in the modelling industry. Person B puts Person A onto a representative from a modelling agency (Person C) after giving them a good reference. Person A and Person C get in contact, Person C states that Person B gave them a good reference, and now Person C is interested in connecting with Person A. Person C then tells their client (Person D), and they then call Person A and ask them if they are interested in working together. Person D is the fourth person.
This Fourth Person rule shows that the initial connection and positive interaction between Person A and Person B meant that Person A was able to find future job opportunities.
13. Remember that networking events are also good social media opportunities. If you meet a particular blogger or influencer at an event, get their social handles and give them a follow. By doing this, there could be an abundance of opportunities!
14. Dress to impress (this post had to relate to fashion somehow…). In all seriousness, you need to dress appropriately and try and stand out from the crowd. This doesn't mean that you need to wear your Lady Gaga jacket, but it does mean you need to steer away from wearing your usual 9-5 uniform. Inject some colour into your look so that you stand out from the crowd, in a good way.
15. Most importantly, just be yourself. No one enjoys listening to people who are clearly putting on a facade and aren't genuine. By being yourself you will instantly become someone who people are attracted to. Always ensure that you are also polite and considerate.
Now that you've got these tips and tricks, try and give networking a go. It may be completely daunting at first but trust me, the more you do it the more confident you will become, and the more opportunities you will receive for your brand/or business in the long run!

w ill we be satisfied with the home Jesus is getting ready for us? He said, "I go to prepare a place for you." I go to prepare a place for whom? For you! You may put your own name in there if you would like, because it is true. He went to get a place ready for you, and your name will be on it. I like that, because the Lord is a builder who knows just exactly what I would like the most.
I believe the Lord will meet each one of us and show us through the Holy City. He will escort us down those golden streets to show us all the different places of interest in the New Jerusalem. We will walk along the river of life, and He will tell us all about the tree of life, which grows over the river and bears a different manner of fruit each month. He will take us down one street after another, and finally, as we move along, we are going to see a certain mansion. As soon as we see it, there will be a responsive chord in our heart and we will think, "My, that's just what I've always wanted. That's the kind of mansion I'd like to have!" And Jesus will interrupt our thoughts and say, "This is yours. I've prepared it exactly as I knew you'd want it. This one is especially for you."
In addition, we will be able to build ourselves a country home. Remember that Isaiah promised we shall build houses and inhabit them? And we can pick our own location. There is the whole beautiful new world before us, and we can find the choicest place that will fit our own personality and put up our house right there. I close my eyes sometimes and try to think of a place that would please me, and I can think of a lot of them that would make me happy. It will be without any spot of sin, for there will be no more curse upon the land. We will never be bothered by thieves or lose the house by fire. I have talked to poor people whose home had burned, destroying their every possession. Others have lost their life's savings to embezzlers and thieves.
Somebody says, "Well, I don't know how to build. I don't think I want to build houses." Listen, don't think it will be the kind of laborious work you see the poor carpenters in this world doing. No, it is not going to be like that at all. As for your knowledge of how to build, don't worry about it for a moment. There will be no limit to what you can learn. You will have a whole eternity before you to learn and understand. If you don't know anything about music, take a music course. loin the heavenly choir. You can go into the bass section one day and learn to sing bass, and then you can go into the tenor section and sing tenor. You can sing all the parts and learn just as much about music as you want to learn.
You can learn architecture. You can learn to build. You can learn about nature. Or maybe you want to study astronomy. Sometimes, when we look up into the heavens and see a little yellow star glimmering in the southwest sky, we say, "My, I wonder what that little star is away up there?" Listen, someday we won't need to wonder; we can just say, "I think I will go and find out." Then we can visit that star. That is what the new earth will be like. We can travel with the speed of light. Angels can do it now. Daniel started praying one day, and before he ended his prayer an angel had come all the way from heaven to his side. The angel said, "Daniel, when you began to pray, God sent me from His throne, and now I'm here in answer to your prayer." We will be able to travel like that. We can go out to visit the great, expansive universe of God and understand things that no human mind has been able to comprehend before.
Oftentimes people ask me if there will be animals in heaven. The Bible has a surprising number of references to this question. Pet lovers will have a field day there! "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fading together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the suckling child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain" (Isaiah 11:6-9).
Sometimes we have heard of lions that have been domesticated and will allow children to play on their backs. Too often, though, we have read stories of family pets which suddenly turned upon children, attacking them like wild animals.
The ravages of sin have made animal nature unpredictable at best. But in the restored Eden of God there will be absolutely no danger of violence from lions, leopards, bears, or snakes—much less from the beloved animal pets of earth.
In this world, all of created life has to be on guard against attack at any time. The reign of tooth and claw has created an atmosphere of constant fear in the animal kingdom. Birds seem never relaxed as their heads dart from side-to-side, watching for potential attackers.
Tragically, it is only in that restored paradise that we will be able to relax our own guard against criminal violence from fellow human beings. For the first time since Eden men will be able to trust other men. No one will be there who could inflict harm or unhappiness on any creature.

Look stuff and things and skins and maps... Whoooooooooo Sure it's not that great but it's something to sign off to killing floor with, KF2 is somewhere around the corner so that's where all the new content will be going. Plus this content pack has neon things and whatnot, it's shiny, how can you resist shiny, it just calls to you dragging your hand into your wallet forcing you to pay for it.
So there's talk of doing another tournament don't know where that's going. Go chat about it, maybe help out.

There really isn't any Murica Time, but it was July fourth so please enjoy the fireworks.
Dustybook here needs our help defeating nazis or something, in other words he's playing Day of Defeat, which is a snazzy old source game that's still loads of fun to play. He's calling for us over here, why not forget the beach today and fight nazis, I know I will.
Now get off your bums and reinstall KF because it's the end and it's time to kick some butt over and over and over again. There are no more rails laddy, this is your stop.
Movie fanatics are muttering quotes to each other over here I can't guess anything in there but maybe some of you have a better memory for all things pop culture.
It would appear a mistake was made and Belgium was credited with the US's win in the world cup, must've been some silly error, i'm sure they'll give the win to the US now and right this wrong, then I can rub it in Solo's face.
So the community has been pretty drawn thin recently official activities are overwhelming some members and it looks like everyone needs a break from all this work. So now official activities will be on break so that everyone can relax for at least the summer. This doesn't mean anything is shutting down it's just a period of time to relax and to stop writing all these newsletters.
Remember, there's always a wolf in the woods, and this one's taking a nap on the beach. The beach in the woods... It's a wooded beach.

Klitschko Who?
i disagree i think ali would win -- tyson was a massive force but tyson never faced any strong competition in his prime -- spinks was only one and he wasnt much of a fighter -- i always thought holyfield had what was needed to beat tyson and he did twice easily -- now neither tyson or holyfield were in their prime but i think same thing would of happened in their prime -- i actually think ali would of ko'ed tyson in later rounds like he did with foreman and like holyfield did
klitschko's are joke -- while he is champ there is no one worth a crap as hw expect washed up old fighters

Posted 25 November 2014 - 10:27 AM
what most people don't think of if they hear the name 'MIke Tyson' is his incredible defense. They guys his ability to slip punches is amazing! His counterpunching was also very good. + look at his power and speed... His is the most intimidating boxer to have ever lived and he was rather short for a heavyweight.

When Atlas had Tyson his defence was incredible, but Tyson was finished before the Douglas fight, and that was 1990. He had the ability to get in close against the 6ft 5 guys, and bang them up, his chin was granite too.
It was rare once he left Atlas that he was real shape, and he went 10 rounds with Buster Douglas, eating piston jabs and right hands for fun.
The thing with Tyson, and you can only appreciate it if you were watching him as an undefeated world champ 'in the present' and not watching tapes, was that he was considered terrifying and mentally destroyed opponents, no matter how big and bad they were, would be broken before they fought.
I believe a 19 year old, IMO peak Tyson gets inside the Klitchkos and gets it done. Any later version loses.
As for Ali, the version that fought Henry Cooper, he wouldn't have been scared of Tyson, and I think Tyson could have took him out.
The Ali of the mid 70's, tactically he was excellent so that version would have done a Foreman, maybe, but Ali had all kinds of trouble with Joe Frazier.
Frazier was 5ft 11 like Tyson, and the big guys aren't sparring with short guys in general, and jabbing down can leave that chin out.

Why you guys dont like Klichkos? They are the most dominant boxers in last decade and as you all know sport only goes up not down the athletes that are now are much better than before 20-30 years and that says much about these two that they can dominated for that 10 years the HW division. Look at the they are like the lest hit HW boxer of all time. They have the best distance they use their jab like no other fighter has ever done. They would easily take a decision on both of these guys.

The Klichkos.
The problem is lack of competition, Vitali is granite chinned, but physically he can break, he has suffered serious injuries and long lay offs. How he would have faired being popped with the Ali jab all night, who knows, but given the abysmal level of competition we will never know.
Ali would risk his health to stay in a fight, Vitali would pull out and value his health because he is a bright lad, and will think long term.
So Ali takes him into deep water, who do you put your car keys on.....Ali.
Vlad - great boxer, crap opposition and some shocking KO losses. His chin isn't good. He would have caused Ali more problems IMO. I think peak 19 year old Tyson, gets inside and rips his head off.

I feel like this thread was eventually going to pull ScoobyAli into it. Im similar to Steel, Iron Mike was amazing but i dont know that he could deal with Ali, he had problems with tall technical guys who could use their range and Ali was elusive. Since joe frazier was mentioned,they fought 3 times, Ali won 2 of those fights. Joe beat Ali in round 12, lost to Ali in 15 and 14. How many wins does Mike have at 12 rounds or longer? My point, Ali had heart and was able to get more effective as the night goes on. I think The Greatest beats The baddest man on the planet, but Iron Mike was STILL great. If only that young girl didnt show up at his hotel room half naked at 3am thinking they were gonna play checkers.
Klitscho??? Nominee for stupidest post of the year....
In my opinion , Ali would showboat like he did in a lot of fights by hanging in the ropes and let the other guy try to punch him. Do that with Tyson and you wake up in hospital....
His combination of amazing power and speed is one of the craziest things i have ever seen.

My whole family would stay up until 3/4 in the morning for the Tyson fights, even my mother.
His ring entrance was electric.
No one could conceive at that time that he could be beaten, that was the aura.
Does anyone remember Evander Holyfield ring entrance against Smokin Bert Cooper - that was awesome? Cooper almost shocked the world too, until he gassed out.

I think it depends on what points of their careers they fight at, Older Ali loses badly to young Tyson. Just look at what Holmes did to Ali and then what Tyson did to Holmes. I think Clay vs Young Tyson would have been an epic fight. I dont think Clay would have the power to stop Tyson, but Clay probably could out work him from the outside. But Clay/Ali never fought a power puncher with the speed and defense of Tyson. Ali had a hard time with Frazier in the first fight but I think Frazier was WAY tougher that Tyson, but also Tyson is WAY WAY faster and had much better defense. In the end it comes down to whether or not young tyson could deal with a tough fight

There are big fights for a reason same as in MMA. Look at UFC who has Anderson won and who has Jon Jones won? If Jones was 3 years older all these guys on his list would also never be who they are now.

I think this will solve the question: When I would play Fight Night: Champion, I could always beat Tyson pretty easy with Ali but I had a really hard time beating Ali with Tyson. And the reason for this is the reach of Ali. I think with two evenly match guys, reach becomes a huge factor,

A knapsack left on an MTA bus at 49th Street and 7th Avenue has caused a shutdown of Times Square as NYPD and the Bomb Squad investigate. NYPD tells us that the investigation is ongoing, and that people should expect streets to be shut down in at least a two-block radius of 50th and 7th.
Per our friends at NY1, this police activity means that N, Q, and R trains are bypassing 49th Street and that 7th Avenue is closed from 50th to 48th Streets and 49th Street is closed from 6th to Broadway. We'll update as we have more.
Update: NYPD tells us that law enforcement activity has concluded and that the package was deemed safe, but to expect residual delays.

I present to you an actual textchange I had last week.
"Hey Larissa, this is your director. I hope the blocking worked better! Especially with the "grab." Thanks for your great work!"
"Thank you so much for your msg last night! I feel so much better about the blocking of the grab and the kiss. Thank you!"
"All I saw was 'Thank you so much for last night' and hoped my wife didn't read that."
"Lol! I realize how strange that sounded after I wrote it. Put that on a list of things to never text a married man!"

SXSW: 'I Give It A Year' Is A Rom-Com That Tests Your Patience
"It was like something out of a Hugh Grant movie." That's something one of the array of insufferable, mean-spirited characters in Dan Mazer's romantic comedy I Give It a Year utters while describing a wedding, but the sentiment certainly echoes the very movie they're appearing in.
But don't go thinking this is a quality Hugh Grant romance set in London like Bridget Jones' Diary About a Boy or Love Actually. No, we're talking about a movie more along the lines of Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason or Nine Months or Did You Hear About the Morgans? I Give It a Year is a bad Hugh Grant movie that doesn't even give us the courtesy of giving us Hugh Grant.
Much like The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, I Give It a Year is a mainstream comedy that worked its way into the indie-friendly SXSW festival and made its presence unwelcome. That's not to say broad appeal comedy can't play well at SXSW (Drinking Buddies, a smart, funny comedy has been a prime example of that), it's that if you're a flick with distribution on your side and marquee names, you better earn your keep here in Austin.
RELATED: SXSW Review: 'Drinking Buddies' is a Good Time, With Less Filler
I Give It a Year, which debuted on over the weekend at SXSW, revolves around Natalie (Rose Byrne) and Josh (Rafe Spall), a couple who rushes into marriage, and to the surprise of no one, things turn sour fast. How fast, I have no idea, because the timeline in this movie jumps so frantically it might take me a year to figure it out.
It certainly doesn't help matters that Josh is an unmotivated writer (poor Spall is essentially just re-visiting his role as the goofy sap in One Day here) and that Natalie is a shrill, nasty career woman, or if we're supposed to give a s**t about either of these one-dimensional people and their horror show of a relationship.
Conveniently, Josh is still close with his ex, the down-to-Earth and cool Chloe (Anna Faris, who I officially fear may never leave rom-com hell). We know Chloe is down-to-Earth and cool because she doesn't wear makeup and works in non-profit. Additionally, Natalie meets a handsome, driven client at work named — wait for it — Guy (Simon Baker) and their sexual attraction simply cannot be denied. So much so that she takes off her wedding ring whenever she sees him. Are you in stitches yet? Couldn't you just positively die?
RELATED: SXSW: Michelle Monaghan On Her Female-Driven Comedy 'Gus'
I Give It a Year, at its core, is actually a really ugly movie packaged as a frothy romantic comedy. It tries desperately to be edgy by having raunchy humor, but it just comes off as crass and out of place. It is jam-packed with a variety of characters that are either despicable or downright unbelievable, or in the case of Stephen Merchant's Danny, Josh's lame, rude best friend that no one in their right mind would invite to get a cup of tea, let alone make their best man.
Incidentally, Minnie Driver plays Natalie's bitchy sister Naomi, but at least her marriage gives her a reason to be cranky. Danny is just a pointless d**khead whose main object is provide comic relief, but only earns uncomfortable groans, on and off screen. (Terribly disappointing, considering what a tremendous talent Merchant is).
All of these characters are so terrible (even Farris' overtly likable character is too much of a sad pushover to admire or root for) you won't care who they wind up with, a veritable kiss of death for a romantic comedy. While Mazer's direction is sleek, the writing is too predictable and too dreadful to make up for it. I Give It a Year might not be the worst rom-com you'll ever see, but it's probably one of the worst ones you would see at SXSW.

If you are seeking a method to lose fifteen pounds in two weeks, a high protein diet plan, a low carbohydrate diet regimen, a fruit diet, a no fat diet regimen, a blood group diet plan, a juice quick, a diet plan named after an area in Miami, a grapefruit diet, a cactus diet regimen, a coffee and cigarette diet plan, a diet that consists of desserts, a diet based upon your body type, a diet regimen based upon an ancient faith or a diet regimen based on your hair color, then this write-up is EXCEPT you.
Fad and fad diet, such as the ones explained over are not just unhealthy but they likewise cause rebound weight gain.
Likewise most diet plans, despite the fact that diet masters create them, cause an initial weight management yet the best result is that you acquire all of the weight back the minute you go off the strategy. If you don't acquire it back within a few diet regimens, you are likely to gain everything back plus a little bit extra within a year.
Crash diets dehydrate you, low calorie diet plans place your body right into starvation mode so you plateau where you cannot shed another pound as well as high healthy protein diets worry your kidneys and obstruct your arteries.
So exactly how does one lose weight?
There is just one answer to this inquiry.
You need to expend even more calories compared to you are absorbing.
Restricting certain foods, consuming so-called fat loss foods, or dehydrating on your own with special pills or teas does refrain from doing it.
It is basic mathematics. The only means is to consume a little much less and exercise a bit a lot more. Below is the formula listed below:
Eating Less + Exercising Even More = Weight Management.
This is not a wonderful formula, it is just logic. It is additionally not the fastest means to lose weight.
As I have stated previously, this is not a post regarding the best ways to shed 10 extra pounds in 3 days or 80 pounds in a month.
It has to do with secure, healthy and balanced, clever fat burning.
In order to drop weight safely and without putting yourself at risk for such health hazards as dehydration, kidney failure, poor nutrition, fatigue, anxious disorder, missing teeth, boring hair, creases, cellulite, abrupt cardiac arrest or stroke and also shed the weight to make sure that it remains off, you need to lose no greater than roughly one extra pounds every couple of days.
Although that may not sound like a large amount of weight to lose it actually is! If you lose 3 extra pounds a week that implies you can attain a weight management of twelve extra pounds a month!
If you only have twenty pounds to lose after that your weight reduction is not just quite fast, yet you have the extra assurance that it will certainly stay off because you have actually followed a sensible workout strategy that did not entail starving, stressful or robbing yourself.
If you want to drop your rashness as well as need for instant satisfaction as well as adhere to an exercise plan and also healthy and balanced eating behaviors, then a Mediterranean Diet is for you.
Keep in mind being slim is just excellent if you are able to enjoy it!
Do You Had To Lose Weight?
Fascination with Fat?
If you wish to slim down, you initially need fastest way to lose weight to examine whether you should in fact lose weight or are simply a fashion sufferer.
Regrettably this culture is fascinated with fat - that has it as well as who does not.
As we are encouraged by numerous images in the media that persuade us to believe that you can never be as well slim, a lot of us are bad judges of our actual body weight.
If you are under the age of eighteen as well as reading this book, the first thing you have to do is speak with your parents regarding your strategies to drop weight.
Have them make a consultation with a medical professional to make sure that he could suggest to you whether you are a candidate for weight reduction.
If you are an adult, it is possible that you may not be obese as well as are just trying to be, as Bridget Jones placed it in Bridget Jones Journal "a stick bug with eyelashes."
It is also extremely possible that you know you have to reduce weight however have no idea where to begin.
If you are overweight as well as you know it, after that you need to get in touch with a medical professional initially to see exactly how your health is prior to you embark on any type of workout program or plan.
The same is additionally true if you have any kind of type of medical condition yet particularly a thyroid problem or heart disease.
Some doctors may not suggest a weight management program for those that are over 40 as due to genes as well as hormonal changes some individuals naturally just round out or put on weight in a manner that simply could not be altered.
If your physician tells you your dispersing hips are due to menopause or genes, believe him! It is not clever to fool with Mother earth.

POLLGATE: Pollsters Are Stealing Democracy
Not one cell phone has been called during the presidential campaign. This is because there is no method for polling cell phones. Yet, there are 170,475,160 cell phones in America.
While polls may sound convincing, the foundation for their statistical predictions is shaky, at best. This is no longer a nation of landlines, and this is becoming a real credibility problem for pollsters. Polls are rapidly becoming an antiquated predicting tool.
If the election were to be stolen on November 2, the nation would be more apt to swallow it due to their heads being stuffed, 24/7, with inaccurate statistical poll data in the weeks leading up to the election.
On the positive side of possible poll inaccuracy, if Jimmy Breslin's right about this poll fiasco and Kerry wins by a landslide on election night, soon we could well be singing 'Buh-Bye, Dubya'!
Excerpt from Jimmy Breslin's latest column:
"Yesterday, the polls showed a Bush surge. It never happened because they were basing it on thin air. There also were figures showing Kerry winning states like Ohio in the Midwest. They came up with the percentages without calling one cell phone of the millions and millions of them in the area. I believe nothing.
Everybody maintains that the two candidates are in a statistical dead heat. Nobody knows that. With a huge number of new registered voters, overwhelmingly of color, and young, and with 40 million using cell phones, the only thing going on in this election is how many times George Bush goes under before he drowns on Election Day. As he should. He is the worst president we have had, maybe ever...
..They [the polls] are lies by numbers. The reporters basing their coverage on these polls are lazy, unimaginative and irresponsible. That everything is based on an untruth could be the reason for the dreadful election coverage. What they write or say so often has nothing to do with the times in which they are supposed to live and report."
Paul Krugman writes in today's NYT:
"A lot can change in 11 days, and Mr. Bush may yet win convincingly. But we must not repeat the mistake of 2000 by refusing to acknowledge the possibility that a narrow Bush win, especially if it depends on Florida, rests on the systematic disenfranchisement of minority voters. And the media must not treat such a suspect win as a validation of skewed reporting that has consistently overstated Mr. Bush's popular support."

If there's one moment a day that dogs look forward to more than their walk, it's feeding time. This can be a frantic rush to devour those tasty treats. Most dog owners will be familiar with the sight of their best friend pushing the dog bowl around the floor as they attempt to get every ounce of flavour from their tea.
Everyone feeds their dog to what suits them and their lifestyle, here at BIGPAWS.CO we are German Shepherd owners and over the years have picked up some tips along the way:
- This maybe a rarity but it's best not to leave food lying in a bowl for your dog to eat anytime they like. It pays to have set eating times which your dog will learn to expect. That's better for the dog's health and can stop them putting on weight by overeating or developing bad feeding habits.
- Choose a dog food that is suitable for your pooch. You should also measure out the food for your pet so that it gets the same portion on each occasion.
- If you have more than one dog, you have no doubt experienced one fast eater who then descends on the other's bowl. You need to watch this and stop the dog from sneaking a few extra snacks.
Wall Mounted Dog Bowls
If you're fed up with your dog shoving the bowl across the floor as it tries to eat, then the solution is to get a wall mounted dog bowl. These are easy to install and make a lot of sense. They ensure your dog gets used to the routine of eating in the same place each day and they're great for keeping your kitchen tidy and don't want to trip over the bowl when you're heading down to raid the fridge in the middle of the night.
BIGPAWS.CO dog bowl holders are made from a lightweight but sturdy material which means they can easily hold a water bowl. It takes just a few minutes to screw the bracket to the wall and then slide the holder in place. When you need to clean it easily lifts out of the holder.
We are committed to produce a product that we know pet owners will love and appreciate for years to come. That's why our holders come with a lifetime swap-out warranty so you can rest assured that you're not only getting a good quality product with good quality recyclable packaging but it's all backed up with good quality customer service.

text: The battle for Jerusalem Can the EU play a role in the Israeli-Palestinian 'peace process'? 07 Dec 2009 08:19 GMT Politics, Israel EU foreign ministers are hoping Europe can "forge a high-profile role" in resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Twenty-seven foreign ministers are meeting in Brussels this week to discuss a Swedish proposal to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of both Israel and Palestine, the future of the region and how Europe can aid the 'peace process'. Last week, the EU issued a previously classified report on Jerusalem. It accuses the Israeli government of working deliberately to change the city's demographic balance by issuing Palestinians with substantially fewer building permits than they require. An Israeli human rights group has said that over 4,500 Arabs had their residency rights removed last year alone - that is about half of the total number since Israel occupied East Jerusalem in 1967. Can the EU play a role in peace making after being marginalised for so long? Or is the battle for Jerusalem already over? Presenter Sohail Rahman is joined by Mordechai Kedar, a professor of Arabic at Bar Ilan University, Israel, Ali Abunimah, the co-founder of Electronic Intifada, an independent online publication about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and author of One Country: A Bold Proposal to Solve the Israeli-Palestinian Impasse, and Ian Black, the Guardian newspaper's Middle East editor.
