Neat Neckwear. Neat is the word neat.
Not alone Neckwear, but all the little be
longings of Gentlemen's Dress. Neat is the
word. There is a great deal of nonsense
r.broad about highness of style. WbaleTcr
of truth there is in it is in Mmple neatness.
But people diOVr about matter of taste in
dress, just as they differ about matters of
taste in food.
There is a process of education going on in
the civilized world that nobody speaks of.
People are growing out of flashy, fiery tastes
into delicate tastes in every sense. There are
stages of growth and development from total
depravity up. Neatness is the highest yet
come to the race; and somehow neatness in
Man's is different from neatness in Woman's
dress. The best of all words in both is neat
ness. Twenty-two feet of show case to the right
of west entrance shows our stock in Neckwear

You needn't tell me, sir," said an
angry father to his son, "that you drank
nothing but a class or two of beer.
You have been drinking whisky; I can
smell it," "Father," acknowledged
the young man, "it was whi.iky that I
drank, not beer." "Well, you shouldn't
have tried to deceive me, you young
rascal. You ought to bo ashamed of
yourself." "1 am ashamed of myself.
It was very foolish in me to think that
a man of your your experience
would known whisky from beer."

The House then went into Committee ot
the Whole on the pension bill, Mr. Rogers
(Arkansas) in the chair.
Mr. J. D. Taylor, of Ohio, attacked tba
Committee on Pensions, bounty and back
pay, and characterized it as the prsveyard
of all pension legislation.
Mr. Warner, of Ohio, replied in vindication
of the action of the Committee.
Iu course of further debate, Mr. Keifer
having the floor, he was interrupted several
times by Mr. Warner.
Mr. Keifer declined to yield, and said that
it was very unfair for a gentleman irho bad
consumed nearly an hour in vindicating him
self and his Committee to insist on interro
gating other speakers.
Mr. Warner replied that he had not con
sumed as much time in vindicating himself
as the gentleman Irom Ohio bad spent last
session in attempting to vindicate himself.
Mr. Keifer asked the Chair to have a good
deal of forbearance toward the gentleman from
Ohio, because it was constitutional with him
to interrupt.
In discussion of the bill Mr. Keifer entered
his protest against the whole system of pen
sion claim agents, and exptassed his disap
proval of the proposed reduction of pension
agents from 18 to 12.
The bill having been read fdr amendment,
Mr. Kverhart offered a proviso that all appli
cants for pensions shall be presumed to have
had no disability at the time of enlistment,
but each presumption may be rebutted.
Mr. Sogers of Arkansas offered an f mend
ment providing that no agent shall receive
any fee for bis service in pension cases until
after the allowance of the claim; that all fees
shall be paid by pension agents, and that
such fees shall be ten dollars, except in cases
of special written contracts filed in the pen
sion office, when a tee of $25 may be con
tracted for. A violation of this provision is
punishable with a fine and imprisonment.

The House resumed consideration of
the inter-State Commerce bill, taking
up the motion submitted by O'Neill, of Penn
sylvania, to strike out the section prohibiting
railroad co-npanies from charging more for
short than a long haul.
Townshend inquired of Reagan as to the
time to be occupied in further consideration
of the bill, but Reagan, not hearing the ques
tion, O'Xeill volunteered the inclination that
it would consume three weeks longer.
U'.S'eill then spoke in support of his mo
tion. He could not see how it wa3 possible
to oblige the railroads to carry out the idea
contained in the section.
O'Xeill's motion was lost.
Senate The chair said before the Senate
report Missouri River Commission, and re
port showing the maintainance by Capt.
Eadf, of the channel in the south pass of the
Mississippi River.
Among the petitions presented was one by
Plumb, from the Oaklahomt settlers, who set
forth that the land they occupy has been
long since bought from the Indians by the
United States and paid for; that the United
States did not expect or intend the Indians
should again occupy the land, and petitioners
therefore see no reason why they should
not be allowed to remain in
the home established for tliemselvts and fam
ilies. Tbey protest agaiust the cruelty of
their removal, and say they would not have
been disturbed but lor the great influence of
wealthy and powerful cattle owners, who do
not themselves pretend to have any title to
the lands, but who use them for grazing cat
tle. The iietitioncrs add that they have gone
to Oklahoma to stay, with their plows and
axes, and that thousands of their friends ex
pect to go there, and pray Congress to with
draw the military forces, and instead take
early steps to organize the territory of Okla
homa into a State.
In presenting the petition, Plumb said
that, although these settlers may be guilty of
technical violation of the law, as the law
was inUrpreted by tbe Attorney General, yet
Congress had already Baid that the
lands in question should not be again
occupied by the Indians, and it seemed to
him that tbe time bad come when Congress
should say yeas or nay on the question of
the occupacy of thesa lands by white settlers

Important Letter froni Grant.
New Vohk, January 7. It would seem
that the effort to raise a fund to pay off the
mortgage upon General Grant's personal ef
fects has beer, summarily stopped by the
General himself. lbe Mail and Express will
this afternoon publish the following charac
teristic letter to Cyrus W. Field, New York
Januarv, Gth, 1885.
My Deae Sir Tb.ror.gli the press and
otherwise I learn that you with a few other
friends of mine are engaged in raising a sub
scription for ray benefit. I appreciate both
the motive and the friendship which have
dictated this course on your pnrt, but on
mature reflection, I regard it as due to my
self and family o decline this proffered
generosity. I regret that I did not make
this known ecrlier. Very truly yours,
U. S. Grant.

unfaltering persistence, matchless military
skill and untiring energy supplied to a mil
lion of American citizens in federal uniforms
the one supreme need of victorious leader
ship, and who many times, in a single day's
work, saved to the North uncounted millions
of treasure from imminent wrecK, not to
mention infinitely more precious possessions,
will not allow private liberality to be urged
in his behalf.
It was impossible for Grant to say what he
felt obliged to say in this note without
biinging to a crisis the painful situation in
which he silently suffered these long months,
during which time the sympathies of tbe peo
ple were unfaltering. Grateful at heart, he
had the guidance of no definite idea as to
what needed to be done, what could be done,
or what should be done.
Tbe Mail and Express then asksr What
shall now be done? and continues as follows:
What butthe one straight-forward, legitimate,
adequate method, becoming tbe Government
of the United States, itself the proudest mon
ument ot Grant's achievements. The title
and rank created for him as a recognition
of bis services should be restored to him by
common consent. To this point events that
we cannot remember without pain and some
self-reproach have brought us. Let Grant's
lost days be his best days and be prolonged
by the action of the nation he did so much
to save.

One day tho police, whilo making a
search, really had Olga Liubatovich in
their grasp. A friend, distancing tho
gendarmes by a few moments, had
merely only time to rush breathlessly
up tho stairs, dash into tho room where
sho was and exclaim: "Save yourself!
the police!" when the polico were al
ready surrounding the house. Olga
had not even time to put on her bonnet
Just as sho was she rushed to the back
stairs, and hurried down at full speed.
Fortunately the street door was notyet
guarded by the gendarmes, and she
was able to enter a little shop on the
ground floor. She had only 20 kopecks
in her pocket having been unable, in
her haste, to get any money. But this
did not troublo her. For 15 kopecks
sho bought a cotton handkerchief, and
fastened it round her head in the stylo
adopted by coquettish servant-girls.
With the 5 kopecks remaining she
bought some nuts and left the shop
eating them, in such a quiet and inno
cent manner that the detachment of
police, which meanwhile had advanced
and surrounded the houso on that side,
let her pass without even asking her
who she was, although the description
of her was well known, for her photo
graph had been distributed to all the
agents, and the polico have always
strict orders to let no ono who may
arouse tho slightest suspicion leave a
houso which they have surrounded.
This was not the only time that sho
slipped liko an eel through the fingers
of the police. Sho was inexhaustible
in expedients, in stratagems, and in
cunning, which she always had at her
command at such times; and with all
this she maintained her serious and se
vere aspect, so that she seemed utter
ly incapable of lending herself to de
ceit or simulation. Perhaps she did not
think, but acted upon instinct rather
than reflection, andthat was why sho
could meet every danger with tho
lightning-like rapidity of a fencer who

Downloading… Please Wait…

September 8, 2009

No rambling post today, I am working my way through a book… “The Facebook Era” by Clara Shih.

Anyone read this yet, have any opinions/thoughts/rants about it?

2 Responses to “Downloading… Please Wait…”

  1. Mary Lynn Engel Says:

    Love it! In fact I am using it as a text in my class at Saint Joseph’s College in “Marketing through Social Media.” Well layed out and easy to understand. Good luck. MLE

  2. chuckhudgins Says:

    After working my way through the rest of the book, I can definitely see how it would make a great introduction to the principles involved in that area of marketing. It’s a little light on details for a recruiter who has spent some time with the social networking sites, but I don’t think it was really geared towards that audience.
    Thanks for the comment!

Flattering Winter Coats for Every Shape

Finding a coat that flatters your body type might feel overwhelming -- enough that you’re tempted to just give up and wear a sleeping bag! But I’m here to tell you that you can stay warm and look stylish by finding a fit that flatters your shape. To help narrow it down, I’ve rounded up my favorite winter coats that are perfect for every shape. Happy shopping!

If you have a... Large Bust

If you have... A large bust

Just because you’re on the busty side doesn’t mean that your chest has to be the main attraction. When picking a winter coat you want to make sure to avoid a high neck with too many buttons across the chest that can cause awkward gaping or straining. Try a V-neck, single-breasted, semi-fitted style with seams that taper to the waist to elongate you and ensure you are comfortable and chic! Wool-cashmere blend coat, $229; Macy's.

If you're... Bigger on the Bottom

If you're... Bigger on the bottom

If you are curvier on the bottom, aim for a jacket that cinches your waist but still allows for a bit of room throughout your hips. One with an A-line can accommodate without adding volume. You can’t go wrong with a double breasted, military-style jacket to create a flattering silhouette. Double-breasted flared peacoat, $169; Macy's.

If you're... Hourglass-Shaped

If you have... An hourglass shape

The key to dressing for this shape is to emphasize your natural waist, at your belly button, but make sure to keep the style of the jacket tailored and fitted to your body, and avoid anything too straight up and down. A classic belted or wrap coat is the perfect way to show off those curves in a chic and polished way. Wool-blend coat, $99; H&M.

If you're... Petite

If you're... Petite

It can be hard to find the right fit when you are a petite person, but luckily there are so many great styles that work well on a smaller frame. And there’s a petite section at most stores, so use it! The proportions will be more appropriate. Keep the hemline above the knee to create a longer-looking torso and avoid chopping your legs at an odd spot. A fit and flare or skater coat is a fresh and playful option that won’t overwhelm your figure. Skater coat with faux fur collar, $144; ASOS Petite.

If you're... Tall

If you're... Tall

If you’ve got the height, work it girl! You can pull off certain styles and lengths of jackets that others can’t so rock those extra long dusters with pride and panache. For fun, try a roomy cocoon coat, since you have the height to balance the width, or keep it simple and opt for a slim fit tailored coat with bold details like oversized buttons, lapels or epaulets, cut closely to the body. Coat with seam detail in wool, $135; ASOS Tall.

If You're... Plus-Sized

If you're... Plus size

There are so many great brands that offer stylish plus-sized clothing, but when it comes to jackets, you want to focus on showing off your smallest part. So if you have a tummy, go for a style that is tailored to hit right below the bust. Just make sure you have enough room to layer. Pulling and gapping can look messy and make you larger than you are. And since height offsets width, opt for a longer, streamlined jacket for a fluid, slimming look. Plus-size empire waist coat, $189; Macy's.

If you have... No curves

If you have... No curves

You can have a bit fun creating a curvy silhouette just by finding the right style of jacket. In order to create more of an hourglass shape, boost the bust and cinch your waist by sticking with coats that feature a tie-waist and a full hem. Avoid straight, shapeless coats so that your figure doesn’t get lost or overwhelmed. A faux fur collar adds volume. Faux fur collar belted coat, $99; ASOS.

If you have a... Tummy

If you have... A tummy

If you feel self-conscious about your midsection, avoid any pulling across the tummy by steering clear of wrap jackets or double-breasted styles and instead pick a coat with classic, structured tailoring that emphasizes your narrowest point, just under the bust, that will help you create that hourglass shape. Look for coats with a subtle A-line, width at the bottom will help make your top half look narrower. Wool car coat, $199; Land's End.

Enterprise Mobility + Security

Late last week, I wrote about the remarkable quarter-century milestone reached by ConfigMgr, and today I wanted to dive even deeper into the backstory of this incredible product, share a couple announcements, and debut an awesome new documentary (lookout Sundance!) which offers an in-depth look at the genesis and growth of the product that created the PC Management industry.

Next, the ConfigMgr announcement:

And with this present-day milestone in mind, here’s a story you may not have heard before:

How It All Began

Late last week, I took the opportunity to re-read the original vision document or “spec” for Project Hermes.  I hadn’t seen this doc in several years, and it was amazing to see how true ConfigMgr has stayed to that original vision.  The fundamental building blocks outlined in that doc are still used today and are still part of its foundation.

In 1992, the original mission of Microsoft (aka, a PC in every home and on every desktop) was just hitting critical mass. Organizations were aggressively moving from terminal emulation to the x86 distributed computing model, and there was no solution to manage the PCs at scale.  The team knew that Project Hermes had to be impactful.

The original SMS team was two full time developers and an intern named Ken Pan.  When I joined the team in 2003, Ken the Intern was leading the entire dev team of about 150 engineers.  Ken has led the engineering efforts on SCCM and Intune for me ever since!

Fun fact:  The very first build of Systems Management Server (SMS) was 245.  Why not 1?  Well… Windows was on build 300 at that time and the team didn’t want to seem too far behind – but they knew that picking something too close to 300 would raise suspicion.  So they picked 245!

SMS officially launched on November 7, 1994.  That first release took a little over two years – today we release new insiders builds every month!

A big moment from that launch was an e-mail sent by Bill Gates to every Microsoft employee explaining that SMS was being deployed across the company. Ever the engineer, Bill pointed out in that e-mail how to remove SMS software from your machine if you were so inclined. (:

If you want to read that e-mail, I’ve included it at the bottom of this post.

Pushing the Architecture Forward

SMS 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 were all released pretty quickly, and a new market was subsequently born.  Without delay, the team then started working on SMS 2.0.

That’s when things got… complicated.

And, honestly, we made some poor decisions.  A big part of the growth mindset is the ability to learn rapidly – this has been core in the SMS team from the beginning.

So much had changed in the architecture of how client-server applications were built since 1992 that the team essentially re-wrote the SMS server infrastructure in 1997 and 1998 to bring the scale and performance of SMS forward, and they also integrated with the upcoming capabilities of Windows Server 2000.  This was the first time that the SMS architecture was rewritten to ensure it was the state-of-the-art for that time.

SMS 2.0 was released in January 1999, and the adoption and usage accelerated.  At the time, I was working at SMS’s largest competitor, Novell, leading the Novell ZENworks team. I couldn’t possibly count the number of hours I spent meeting with SMS customers talking about the differentiators of ZENworks that were based in focusing on users (identities) with deep Directory integration!

While writing this post I was reminded that SMS 2.0 had an Easter egg in it.  The Easter egg was a video showing the names and pictures of people who worked on the product, and, when I look another look at it this week, one name stood out:

Yup, Terry Myerson – my boss and the Executive Vice President of Microsoft.  I guess all the greats really have passed through SMS at one point in their career.  (:

I joined the SMS team just as efforts were ramping up for what would become SMS 2003.

In SMS 2003, there were significant portions of the product that were, again, re-written.  A big milestone at the time was getting SMS aligned on WSUS for patching. This aligned the Microsoft patching from cloud (Windows Update) to consumers and the Enterprise.  WSUS is essentially the same bits that are used for Windows Update – except running in your datacenter.

Windows Update is one of the world’s largest Cloud services – updating more than 1B devices every month.  Think about this for a minute:  One of Microsoft’s key differentiators in the public cloud today are our hybrid capabilities and the ability for you to essentially run our public cloud in your datacenter.  Running Windows Update in your data center (WSUS) was really a pioneer and perhaps the earliest example of being cloud connected and hybrid.  This was also the point in time when laptop usage had really accelerated, and we needed to build a new client that functioned in a disconnected or loosely connected model.

As we neared the release of SMS 2003, we would meet each Friday morning with a group from across the company to evaluate the status of the project.  One of the key groups invited to that meeting was the Microsoft IT department (MSIT).  In a move that had no precedent in the company, I granted the IT team veto authority over the decision to ship SMS 2003 if they did not feel it was ready.  Ever since then, MSIT has been our first and best customer – as well as one of our best sources of feedback on early builds.

Today, we manage over 500,000 PCs and mobile devices here at Microsoft (this number is not included in the 100M MAD) through a single ConfigMgr deployment.  We are constantly deploying new bits across Microsoft as we are building each monthly release.  We definitely eat our own dogfood.  Another fun cat:  My team actually oversees the internal deployment of ConfigMgr.  There is no better way to learn than by than doing!

Between 2003 and 2007, we released two “Feature Packs.”  We didn’t want to wait for an entire new product to deliver new functionality, so we innovated this new way to release capabilities.  The first Feature Pack finished up the work of aligning on WSUS for our patching. The second Feature Pack was when we released OS Deployment.

One of my favorite memories of this time was a demo we set up at an event in Europe in November 2003 to show-off the new OS Deployment capabilities.  Bill Gates was delivering the keynote, and, during his section of “What Is New with SMS,” we live upgraded 100 PCs on a wall behind Bill.  We called this demo the “Wall of Fire.”

Here’s a picture we took of Bill when he turned around to watch the demo execute:

Here’s a picture of the brave SMS team members that staged the demo:

Making an Impact

In the fall of 2004, Bill and Steve hosted an offsite meeting with a few of the senior leaders from across the company – and the final session of the day was open Q&A with Bill and Steve.  Someone asked Bill what he thought was, “The most significant thing that has happened for Microsoft in the last year.”  Bill responded: “We got SMS and Active Directory right – and they will be tremendous assets for us going forward.”

To this day, that is one of the best days of my professional career!

In 2007, we changed the name from “SMS” to “ConfigMgr,” in order to align it with the System Center brand.  Desired State Configuration (DSC) was the newest innovative scenario that customers were requesting, so, once again, we evolved the architecture to really enable DSC to work the way it should.  We also completely rewrote the administrative experience.

In Feb 2011, mid-way through the engineering of SCCM 2012, Satya took over the Server and Tools Business (STB), renamed it the Cloud and Enterprise (C+E), and became my boss.  For our first 1:1 meeting, Satya came to my office and spent the bulk of the time really getting to know me better as a person.  It was an incredible experience to work directly for Satya for several years and learn from his incredible, inquisitive nature, his growth mindset, and his humble-servant approach to leadership.  Satya had a tremendous impact on the future and architecture of ConfigMgr during this release.

In ConfigMgr 2012 we essentially turned the architecture on its head by focusing the architecture and experience on users – not just devices.

Customers were telling us that mobility was going to be key in the future, and we understood that mobility was about the mobility of humans – not just devices.  In response to this information, we dramatically flattened the architecture to require less hardware, and we massively increased the scale limits.   This is where our journey to the cloud really, really got serious; we connected ConfigMgr to Microsoft Intune, and Intune essentially became the edge of ConfigMgr.

This hybrid configuration became the model that allowed us to innovate in the cloud, and then deliver new value to on-prem ConfigMgr via that hybrid deployment.  We believed that the cloud would enable scenarios that would have been impossible in the past, and Satya could see the potential impact of the cloud for device management – and he really pushed us to innovate and experiment here.

ConfigMgr Heads to the Cloud

The next architectural evolution was the most challenging by far.

When we learned that Windows 10 would be delivered as-a-service with multiple updates delivered each year, we knew that ConfigMgr needed to follow suit and move to the cloud.

The challenge here was daunting.

Historically, ConfigMgr had released on a 2-3 year cadence.  I remember looking at the first all-up plan for SCCM 2007 and seeing 16 months of stabilization and beta between the time we declared code-complete and the release.  16 months!   It was clear we needed to “SaaS-ify” ConfigMgr so we could maintain a multiple-times-per-year release cadence.

With such a daunting task ahead, we set about hand-picking a small team of engineers and program managers who knew ConfigMgr deeply, had a growth mindset, and a shared a passion for this customer base.  Our belief was the only way we could pull this off was for a small and focused team to overhaul the entire architecture and create a cloud-delivered service from the ground cloud up.

When I looked at our timetable for this overhaul, I will admit to having a bit of skepticism mixed in with my normal abundance of optimism.  Getting things done this quickly was an unbelievable undertaking.

The outcome, now, is obvious:  This hyper-focused engineering team exceeded every single benchmark and delivered a new cloud-based approach to PC management that allowed us to move to a monthly release cycle.  To keep track of these updates, we did away with the traditional version numbers (e.g. 2003, 2007, 2012) and instead started naming them with a year/month convention; thus, the first release was versioned 1511 because we released it in the 11th month of 2015.

Since then, we have released a new insider’s version of ConfigMgr every month, and major CurrentBranch releases every ~4 months.

This is – without question – one of the most incredible engineering efforts I have ever been a part of.

The customer response to this new cloud-delivered model has been incredible.

Check out this graphic:

Just over half of the ConfigMgr base has already upgraded to the new current branch model, and there are now more than 100M devices being actively managed and sending back telemetry.

Holy cow 100M!!!!

To my knowledge there are only 3 enterprise services in the world that have >100M monthly active users or devices under management and sending back telemetry:  Office 365, Azure Active Directory, and ConfigMgr.  What do these three things have in common?  All are part of the integrated Microsoft 365 offer.

This chart shows the adoption of the major releases of ConfigMgr Current Branch since the 1511 release.  We have a dashboard that shows us this data in real time, and we send out this chart to our entire team every Sunday morning at 8:30.

Believe me when I tell you that 8:30 on Sunday mornings is one of my favorite moments of every week.

This has been the fastest all-time upgrade for ConfigMgr, and you can see that with each release the rate of adoption (the slope of the line from left-to-right) gets faster and steeper.  At first, we were a little nervous about how the ConfigMgr community would react to such fast releases – and we have been both amazed and grateful for your trust and confidence in us.

There has never been more interest in and passion for Project Hermes than there is right now.

What’s Next

We began the journey to the cloud with the 1511 release of ConfigMgr Current Branch in November 2015, and, at the time, it was clear to us that this was a major step towards where we needed to get.  It was also clear to us that there was a lot more work to do.

The pace of innovation since 1511 has only accelerated.  Organizations are rapidly moving to a world of cloud services connected to mobile devices, and, in order for us to deliver what you need in this accelerating environment, the ConfigMgr infrastructure has taken the big steps toward being a true cloud service.  It is now a service that is continually updated with new capabilities, it utilizes the AI capabilities of the cloud to adjust to your needs and deliver the protection you require, and it is available to you as a cloud-based service that is able to scale to 100s of millions of devices around the globe.

All of this reminds me of the most common thing I hear from IT leaders all over the world:  They are frustrated with the complexity they and their teams have to deal with in order to get work done.  Organizations are looking for ways to simplify what they have deployed and they want a unified way to enable their users on all devices – that also delivers the management and security they need.  This is why we have built Microsoft 365.  M365 delivers the modern, secure workspace and integrated cloud services that enable users to achieve more.  It has been engineered to enable IT to deliver that rich and empowering work environment that is Loved by User and Trusted by IT.

This is the next evolution of all of the products from Microsoft that you’ve been using for years – Windows, Office, Active Directory, ConfigMgr – and we’ve moved them all to the cloud with Microsoft 365.  Enterprise customers around the globe are migrating to the cloud (consuming Windows 10 as-a-Service, Office 365, and the EMS services) and this is the natural next evolution of the ConfigMgr architecture.

Just about every enterprise and commercial organization on the planet is starting from an on-premises model today where they are using Active Directory, Group Policy, and ConfigMgr as their management tools.  The desire to move to a simpler and more modern model is high, but getting to that new modern model hasn’t been easy.  An organization can’t just snap their fingers and move users/devices from AD/GP/ConfigMgr to AAD/Intune.  What you’ve needed from us is a bridge that makes this move simpler, faster and removes risk.  This is an area where we learned a lot by watching organizations move from on-prem Exchange to Exchange Online.

Today, we are excited to announce Co-management, a new set of capabilities and the bridge that will help accelerate the move to modern management from the cloud.  With the Fall Creators Update, a Windows 10 device can be joined to on-premises Active Directory (AD) and Azure AD at the same time.

Co-management takes advantage of this improvement and enables the device to be managed by both ConfigMgr agent and Intune MDM.  The move to modern management is no longer a cliff where you have to jump.  With co-management you can take your own journey, step-by-step, to the cloud in a way and at a pace that makes sense for your organization.

We’ve made it simple to work within the ConfigMgr console to take the devices under management and enroll them for management with Intune.  You can then select the first workload you want to move to the cloud (it is literally a slider bar that you move over from ConfigMgr to Intune) and that workload is moved to the cloud.

One of the unique capabilities of Microsoft 365 in this co-managed scenario is that ConfigMgr and Intune are in constant communication.  As workloads are moved, we understand who the authoritative source (Intune or ConfigMgr) is for every attribute on users and devices – and this avoids conflicting policies from being applied.

This will dramatically accelerate the move to Windows 10 and modern management from the cloud.

* * * * *

Writing this has been an incredible walk down memory lane for me.  SMS/ConfigMgr/Intune has had a profound impact on my life, the life of my family, the lives of 1,000’s of engineers that have worked on the projects, and the lives of millions of IT Pros who have used and continue to use it today.  I love this product and I love this community.

I have also really enjoyed seeing today’s documentary about the history of ConfigMgr come together – but it is only Part 1.  And Part 2 is much more important.  That’s because Part 2 is going to be created by you.

If you’re at Ignite, stop by the management and security section of the Microsoft booth and tell your story.  Simple directions are here.

If you’re not at Ignite, taking part is still very easy.  Tell your story by uploading your memories and your stories about ConfigMgr here  Here are some basic instructions.

We’ll use these submissions to create Part 2 – a video we’d like to call:

“The People’s History of ConfigMgr.”

I can’t wait to see it.

on love that doesn’t seek to change

Posted: July 6, 2013 in Uncategorized

When Gary and I were first talking in a “pursuit” kind of way, one day he approached the subject of fashion.  Were certain items he likes to wear okay with me?  The items in question were of the very non-mainstreamish sort, including and especially a 3/4 length black coat complete with 80s metal studs all over the collar and a huge block of scripture written all the way down its back – I don’t know who else I know besides Gary, who could pull THAT off.

That kind of question is tricky for me to answer without sounding lecture-ish, because to me it’s a very important point, the business of me not trying to change him, not trying to boss him around, not trying to bend him into something other than what he is.  I feel very, very strongly on this point.  So I think I came off kind of gruff and grumpy – kind of, “DO NOT ask me if it’s okay!  OF COURSE it’s okay!”

I mean, it’s nice – GREAT, even – that my opinion matters to him.  But I fell in love with him for exactly who he was and is, down to the details.  I don’t WANT to change his style!  I want to embrace him exactly as he is, and I revel in the fact that vice versa is true – I’ve not yet heard him try to or even want to change anything about me.  I get to JUST BE ME with and for him, and that’s a gift many never get to enjoy in their relationships.

Last week I visited him in Chicago, and he sent some things home with me.  Stuff that he can get by without until the wedding.  This will lighten the (already light) load on moving day.  He filled the back seat of my car with crates and I hauled it home, stuffing it in the garage.  Today I moved a big floor lamp out to my storage unit, and picked up a bookshelf I had there to put in the place where the lamp used to sit, beside the dresser I have set aside for him.  I carried the crates in from the garage and spent some time unpacking them.

Soon, I was hooting with laughter and texting my daughter about it.  5 Godzilla movies!  5 Planet of the Apes movies!  A movie called, “Earth Vs. the Flying Saucers!”  And all manner of alien and space-themed movies.  I sorted and sorted, and giggled and chuckled.

And fell even more in love with him than I already was.

No, I don’t want to change him.  Don’t want to re-write his wardrobe – cannot even imagine him in mainstream clothes – when I try to imagine it, my face contorts into unpleasant expressions.  Don’t want to change his DVD collection – not even the Godzilla movies.  Don’t want to change the things he says to me from time to time that make me burst out laughing and saying, stunned, “You just SAID THAT TO ME!”

Why would I change the things that make Gary, Gary?  Why would I try to form him into someone who would fade into the stream of People Trying to Look Like Other People?   I think God knew just what He was doing, giving me a character like my fiance – who will love a character like me.

Just as I am.

With Full Figured Fashion Week in New York City just around the corner, we thought it would be fitting to compile a list of our favorite plus-size fashion designers. We all know that the fashion industry is catered to the slim, size 0 model, but over the years designers have made great strides to include curvy women in their designs. While we’re grateful that many designers are developing plus size lines, we decided to pay homage to those who did it first.

Monif C. Monif C. Plus Sizes

One of the best plus size fashion designers in the industry is none other than Ms. Monif C. She has created trendy and flirty clothing for the contemporary curvy woman. In her designs, you wont look or feel dowdy. One of her many specialties is swimsuits, and with summer only days away, you want to be sure you’re caught on the beach in one of her bathing suits.

Tennille White Tennille White Chicago

Tennille White’s plus size fashions have been spotted on BET’s Rip the Runway 2011. Tennille is an extremely focused and talented fashion designer who creates sophisticated and elegant looks for the curvy woman. Her designs are effortless, fashionable, unique and bright. While her designs have been a huge presence in Chicago, she is on the verge of becoming one of the nation’s top plus size designers.

Queen Grace Collection Queen Grace Collection

The Queen Grace Collection launched its first line in Fall 2011. If you have the pleasure of attending this year’s Full Figured Fashion Week in New York City, you will discover the variety of sophisticated and timeless pieces that make up the Queen Grace Collection. This collection of quality and comfortable pieces celebrates the diversity and size of women. We are certain that you will hear great things about the Queen Grace Collection in the future.

Qristyl Frazier Qristyl Frazier Designs

You may have heard the name Qristyl Frazier before, and that is because she was a contestant on Season 6 of Project Runway. Today she is hard at work on creating some of the most fashionable wear geared to women between the sizes of 12 to 24. Her clothing is tasteful, stylish and ideal for the lifestyles of the women who wear it. Qristyl Frazier’s unparalleled attention to detail and obvious skill and expertise for women’s fashion is evidenced in every piece she designs.

Kim Khanbeigi of Kiyonna Kiyonna

One of the first to venture out into the plus size clothing market was Kim Khanbeigi the founder of Kiyonna, a plus size women’s clothing line. Started in 1996, Kiyonna has prided itself in creating feminine and modern clothing for sizes 0x-5x. The silhouettes are made to flatter a woman’s curves. Kim’s designs are so relevant and sought after, that it will have a size 6 woman dieing to wear it.

Hi, my name is Coach Gil Moody, and would like to welcome you all to an ongoing series called: “College Recruiting”. To gain a better insight on this topic, I have reached out to several formal: High School Athlete’s that are currently playing collegiate sports or had played and now have graduated from college.  Below is one of these interviews.

Please welcome Michael Salazar

salazar 1

Height: 6’5
Weight: 308
Class: Senior
Hometown: Lawrenceville, N.J.
High School: The Hun School

High School/Club

Three-year letter winner at offensive and defensive tackle at The Hun School for Head Coach Dave Dudeck … First-Team All-Mid Atlantic Prep League performer at both offensive and defensive tackle as a senior … Selected to play in both the New Jersey North/South All-Star game and the Governor’s Bowl (a game featuring top players from New York vs. New Jersey) … Helped team to 9-0 record and the New Jersey Prep State Title and the Mid-Atlantic Prep League Championship as a senior … Finished senior season with 21 total tackles, five tackles for losses, a blocked kick and one interception returned for a touchdown … Named to First-Team All-Prep honors as an offensive lineman by the Trenton Times, Star Ledger and Princeton Packet … Trenton Times also selected him to Second-Team All-Prep Honors as a defensive lineman … Also a three-year letter winner as a member of the tennis squad ..

Q: What College are you currently attending or have graduated from?

 A: The College of William and Mary

Q: What sports were you recruited for, and played in College? Did you play more than one sport in College?

A: I was recruited for football and only played football in college.

salazar 2

Q: Did you play more than one sport in High School, and if so which sports were they?

 A: Yes actually I played football, tennis, and threw shot put

Q: What preparations did you take to research what colleges you were interested in?

 A: everything depended based on who was recruiting me and those were the schools I made my decision from.

Q: Have you heard of College Board, and have you used it? Was it helpful in your college selection process?

 A: never heard of it.

salazar 4

Q: What kind of advice did your coach and or guidance counselors give you about researching and selecting a college?

 A: coach told me to pick the school I could see myself at and choose the school that will help best to set my future up

Q: What advice did your parents give you to help throughout your college selection process?

A: just told me whatever school i chose they would support me and it had to be an academically sound school

Q: Were you under the impression that it was your coach’s responsibility to get you recruited? If so, where did you get that impression from?

 A: I knew my coach had a lot to do with recruiting and help bringing coaches to the school but honestly my school has a huge reputation for producing college football players so it wasn’t difficult for my coach. There would be somewhere between five to ten coaches a day recruiting us. I knew it was my responsibility to create a highlight tape.

Q: Did you attend any college summer camps? How many did you attend, and do you believe that it help you get recruited?

 A: going into my senior year I attended four football camps and I do believe it helps you to get your name out there and to showcase your skills. If you are a good player you want to go to big-time school summer camps because there are many college coaches working the camp not just from that specific school

salazar 3

Q: Did your coach suggest that you attend college summer camps, and if so at what grade level did you start to attend?

 A: NO

Q: There several recruiting services, and combine services, have you tried any of them, and do you think that they were helpful?

 A: I was invited to the elite recruit combine in new jersey that showcases the best players from the east coast and at the time college coaches were allowed to go to the combine and watch the recruits but now they are no longer allowed to watch in person. It helped tremendously because i showcased my talents in front of at least 80 college coaches.

Q: What did you do to help yourself get recruited, and would you recommend the same to others?

A: worked my tail off in high school and played my hardest to create a good name for myself

Q: What was the biggest surprise to you during the college recruiting process?

 A: How often college coaches lie to you about how great their school is and how you will play as a freshmen and once you get to the school you picked and start playing for them they don’t care the someway about you as they did when you were getting recruited. You go from their best friend to an employee.

Thank you, Michael Salazar for sharing your college recruiting experiences with our readers. We would love to have you back to share what it is like to be a college athlete.

Coach Moody
