NBA clubs to sell ads high, low
NBA teams, seeing the push for lucrative jersey advertising shelved, are getting two new areas inside their arenas as sources of revenue starting next season: on the court and atop the backboards.
League officials have approved teams selling on-court advertising for the high-profile space in front of team benches as well as the camera-visible areas on top of the backboards.
|The courtside space had been limited to club brands.
Until now, the league had mandated that these areas be limited to team branding.
The deals would be sold locally, but any corporate branding of the areas would be removed during national TV broadcasts; the floor advertising would be via decals. Similar to rotational signage at the scorer's table, the league controls certain inventory for national broadcasts, and these new areas would fall into that realm — though no leaguewide sales efforts for the space are immediately planned.
Teams will use next season as a trial for the new inventory. Multiyear deals can be signed, but those deals would be subject to review after the 2013-14 season if the league wants to make any changes to the program after seeing its results in the coming season.
NBA officials would not comment on the sales opportunities, but sources said that when the subject of the new sales inventory was raised at the April league presidents meeting in New York, it found quick support among league officials.
"This will be a tremendous opportunity for our teams," said Alex Martins, chief executive officer of the Orlando Magic. "This platform to grow inventory of camera-visible signage will allow us all to continue to grow our business for our teams and players. I applaud the league for opening up this opportunity for our teams and our clients."
This new courtside signage opportunity serves as the latest effort by the league to give teams more in-arena sales inventory. Many teams already include on-floor signage, toward center court, as part of their arena naming-rights deals, but officials close to the league feel the new signage will not clutter up the court.
"The location of [the new signage] is elegant in that it will get a lot of exposure without cluttering the court itself," a league source said. "It is a very pure local issue."
NBA teams this season had new local sales opportunities, as well. About 15 teams sold new LED signage on their basket stanchions, an area that previously had been unavailable to them for sales. Additionally, a few teams — Boston, Cleveland and Minnesota among them — reconfigured their scorer's table to allow for more courtside rotational signage.
"It is hard to say what the value will be," Martins said of the new areas for sales. "It should be sold as part of a big sponsorship package, and that is the way we would sell it. To me, it needs to be part of a premier-level type sponsorship because of the great value of exposure."

Roasting Your own Grain
Its not always possible to obtain every grain that a recipe calls for so at times you have to go with the flow and either substitute or just take the plunge and roast up some of your own !
This page briefly describes how I make
I learned the Amber malt process from an article on
The Brewery
web site. In that article, within their library, you also learn how to make brown malt.
The origins of my roast barley process probably sit with a discussion I once had with Moritz Kallmeyer at Draymans Brewery (in Pretoria) . . . probably !
In my process I start with pale malt.
Layer the malt no more than 2 cm deep in a baking tray. Line the baking tray with aluminium foil so that food flavours don't attack the malt flavours.
Remember, as the malt will lose moisture, weigh out about 5% more than you need !
Set the oven to 100°C (212°F). Once its there pop the tray of malt in.
Leave at 100°C (212°F) for about 30 minutes, this helps rid the malt of its residual moisture. Stir it once in the middle of the 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes turn the oven up to 150°C (300°F) and open the oven every 15 minutes, remove a couple grains, slice them open and see what colour they are inside.
A light cream colour is the way things start out. When it gets to a pale buff colour you have your own homemade version of amber malt.
If the colour goes to a dark buff colour (like brown wrapping paper the article says) then you may just have some brown malt.
Enjoy the unique smell of biscuits in your house . . . .
Go check out the
original malt roasting article
on the
Buy your barley. I simply visited the local supermarket and bought some 'pearl barley'. People often buy this for making soups with. Remember, you are making
roasted barley
, which means that you MUST NOT start with malted barley. If you roast a malted grain you will end up with a 'black malt' which will not be appropriate for a dry Irish stout.
Line a baking tray with Aluminium foil to prevent food flavours from affecting your grain flavours. Preferably use a clean baking tray with no food residues burnt onto it as stirring grain in a foil lined tray is a real pain !! A 10 minute soak of the tray in hot caustic will pretty much clean it up if you're able to be careful about the caustic.
Pour your barley grains, uncracked, into the baking tray. Remember to add about a third more than your recipe calls for because the barley grains lose a lot of weight during the roasting. I have seen 2000g of pearl barley roast down to 1500g over a 2 hour period.
Set your oven at 230°C (450°F) and wait for it to come up to temperature. Don't be tempted to pop your grain in when the oven is cold as the timing here is VERY important and you will introduce an initial period of time at the beginning (while the oven heats up) that you will not be easily able to account for later.
When the oven is up to temperature put the baking tray in and
note the starting time
My experience is that after about 30 minutes you will become aware of the smell of hot barley and that, over the next period of time this will turn into a visual event as well . . . the smoke tends to pour out of the oven when the door is opened !
One of the key things that I have learned in making my own roast barley is that, even though the outer surface of the barley grains has gone black, it may not necessarily mean that your beer will also be black ! My first ever attempt saw very black looking barley that had been roasted at 230°C for an hour or so but the first runnings from my mash tun surprised me by being rather yellow !!! Yellow Guinness I thought . . . agghhh . . .
So, keep a careful note of your starting time and aim for a total roasting period of say 90-120 minutes. More on the time duration just now . . . it critical though so listen up !!
Now, when the barley roasts, it will get hotter around the sides of the baking tray. This means that the barley grains at those points will actually roast quicker. You will also notice that the top layer of grains in the tray will also roast quicker than those sitting just beneath the surface. All of this has an affect that will differ in degree between different people's ovens, baking trays, grain depth, gas versus electric etc. So, you are going to have to experiment a little to get things right for your conditions.
On the issue of 'the degree of roasting effect' you are aiming, theoretically, for all of your grains to roast by the same amount, thereby all finishing the same colour and degree of roast. However, in the real world, this is near impossible. Professionals would use a rotating oven so the grain continuously rotates. This works very well and, in fact, it was when someone adopted this approach from the coffee roasting dudes of the 18
century that brewers were first able to use highly roasted grains in their beers. The gentleman who adopted the approach actually patented his invention and all roast malt made at that time was referred to as 'patent black malt', a name that survives today !
On the home front, if you can rig up something with your oven'srotisseriee then go for it ! However, the rest of us will need to pay particular attention to three things during roasting :-
(i) The temperature of the oven.
(ii) How often you stir the grain.
(iii) How deep you make the grain bed in the baking tray
The first of these will have a major affect on the overall degree of roasting so I would suggest, keep it simple, set it to 230°C (450°F) and don't touch it again.
The other two will affect the 'spread of roasting effect', i.e. stir every 5 minutes and you will have a tighter spread on the colour of the grains, stir once every 20 minutes and you will have grains from charcoal black to light brown all co-existing in the baking tray at once.
As the roasting effect appears to speed up towards the end I have adopted the following schedule :-
In the first 30 minutes just leave it at 230°C and go have a beer.
In the period 30-60 minutes, stir at 30, 45 and 60 minutes.
In the period 60-90 minutes, stir every 10 minutes.
In the period 90 minutes and over, open and stir every 5 minutes.
Throughout, you should work to minimise the time that the oven is open, so that heat losses are minimised. I do not remove the tray, preferring instead to just open the oven door, stir and close. Please also check the disclaimer at the end concerning the safety issues.
If this is the first time that you are roasting your own barley I would suggest a little side experiment to get some feeling for what you're doing. The idea is to make small trial infusions as you go in order to assess the colour of the grains. This consists of a glass of water at the mash strike temperature into which a measured amount of crushed grain is added.
What I do is get a few (3-5) small glasses (say a maximum volume of one cup, 250 ml) and line them up in the kitchen. I then boil the kettle (the real kitchen one that is !) and then after about 30 minutes you open the oven and withdraw a few grains on a teaspoon. In the meantime you have added say an inch of cold water into your glass and topped this up with the boiling water in order to get water at about 70°C (158°F), i.e. in the order of mash strike temperatures. The grains should be crushed using a rolling pin and swiftly added to the glass. Over the next 5 minutes or so you will see the water start to colour. Give an occasional stir to ensure the maximum colour is extracted from the grains.
If you have a marker pen, label the glass with the time at which the grains were removed from the oven. At 30 minutes, the water will remain pale in colour, certainly not black. By 70-80 minutes you will see a distinct reddish-brown colouring taking place. There after it will go black, depending on how far the roasting effect has proceeded. The idea is that, at some point in time, you will be happy with the colour of the mini-infusion and you can then remove the tray of grains from the oven.
One key issue I realised was that, to be as accurate as possible, you should make sure that the amount of grain you add is in relation to the amount of water in your mini-infusion. For my dry Irish stout recipe I use 1355 g of roast barley and it ends up in myboilerr, at boil end, in 78 litres of wort. Dividing these numbers you'll see that this corresponds to about 4 g of grain in 240 ml of water. I therefore use a standard drinks glass which is around 250 ml in volume and add 4 g of roast barley grains. 4 g of roast barley grain is around 8 ml I found and corresponds to the volume of a plastic coke bottle cap, you know, the type that when you first unscrew it the collar breaks off. The volume of the cap without that collar gives you close to 4 g of roast barley grain, assuming the grains are level and not heaped into the cap. So that's how I calculated the ratio of grain to water to make sure that the mini-infusions are representative of the amount of colour dilution I will see in the real beer.
Another key issue is the temperature of the water in the glass before the grains are added. I STRONGLY suggest that you control this carefully to be 70°C plus or minus 1°C. This is the only way that you will have a controllable experiment. Hotter temperatures will see the colour extracted much better than lower temperatures and grain that makes the water reddish-back at 70°C could see the water almost totally black if the water temperature starts at close to boiling. I'm assuming here of course that you are adding the roast barley into your mash and so mash start temperatures are what's important.
I have had successful dry Irish stouts now with barley roasted at 230°C for between 90 and 120 minutes. You will need to stir at least every ten minutes, perhaps even every 5 minutes towards the end as the grain starts to smoke . . . and I mean SMOKE !! Just make sure you apologise to any other occupants of your house before hand and be careful if you have a smoke detector at home, you don't want the fire brigade appearing unannounced ! The grain also tends to burn around the edges very quickly towards the end which is why the commercial process has the grain constantly rotating in a heated drum. Your aim should be grain that has gone almost entirely black but uniformly so. If the grain is still a tad brown inside then that sounds perfect, if its all black, you may find yourself having over-roasted it. Relax, roast away !
Another important issue is the amount of grain that you roast at once. Essentially, the time required for roasting changes depending on how much grain you put into the oven. I once roasted 1500g of pearl barley at 230°C for 100 minutes and got a black coloured beer (8% roast barley, 92% pale malt). I then repeated the roasting step with 2000g of pearl barley at 230°C for 100 minutes and got a beer that was mahogany coloured, not quite black ! More recently I have roasted 2000g at 230°C for 120 minutes and got a beer that is 99% black . . . not quite what I wanted either ! The next time I roast I will use 2000g of pearl barley at 230°C for 130 minutes . . . wish me luck, the smoke at 120 minutes was alreadawesomeme !!
And finally, a disclaimer I suppose . . . Roasting your own barley is a great way to ensure that you have yet more control over the final beer but . . . please don't roast all night and set fire to the stuff. I'm sure its quite possible to have it ignite and the way the smoke pours off towards the end I'd suggest caution. I tend to keep a 2 litre bowl of cold water at hand and, if the grains did ignite I would FIRST of all switch off the electric switch that supplies my oven and then I'd dowse the grain with the water. Be careful obviously as dowsing electric appliances with water when they're electrically live is a great way to electrocute anyone in the vicinity. If you have a fire extinguisher for electrical appliance fires all the better. Scared ? Good, now you'll be careful !!

We have fabricated modules of 8-channel multi-wavelength lasers (MWLs) with a wavelength separation of 200 GHz for the wavelength division multiplexed-passive optical network (WDM-PON) optical line terminal sources. The variation in the output power is minimized by inserting silicone between the superluminescent diode (SLD) and the silica waveguide. The wavelength shift of each channel is less than 0.21 nm from the ITU grid and can be controlled in the range of 0.36 nm without any reductions of the output power by a tuning heater. MWLs operated successfully in the direct modulation for 1.25 Gbit/s transmissions over 20 km.

In 2009, I wrote a poem called "Illuminata" and inspired by a Buddhist crown from the permanent collection of Pacific Asia Museum in Pasadena. The poem starts with a line: "I want that crown" (and can be heard and read on the website of the Museum). After having heard it several times and laughing at the intensity of an entirely non-Buddhist desire, my friends commented on my election as the Poet Laureate of Sunland Tujunga: "See? You got your crown."
On April 25, 2010, the Passing of the Laurels Ceremony was held at the McGroarty Art Center, Tujunga, with Joe DeCenzo doing the honors on behalf of the Sunland-Tujunga Poetry and Literature Committee. The event included presentations by Claire Knowles, Director of McGroarty Art Center, Dorothy Skiles, President of Village Poets, Mary Benson from Paul Krekorian's office, music performances and poetry readings by Joe DeCenzo, Elsa Frausto, and myself. I was thrilled to have received Certificates of Congratulations from State Senators Bob Huff and George Runner, and Los Angeles Councilman Paul Krekorian.Actually, I was so happy, I could not stop smiling! It was awesome! This is the best neighborhood in LA: with 20,000 people we have a museum, historical society, arts center, and more poetry, literature, art, and civic groups that you could count.
My reading at the "crowning" included a poem I wrote especially for this occasion, What I love in Sunland. You may download the poem in Word format here. It is also reproduced below. For more photographs from the event, see its Picasa Photo Album.
My motto for her two years as Poet Laureate is
"Poetry ... in pursuit of happiness"
So far, I have written three sets of occasional poems, commissioned by various local civic groups and individuals: Councilman Paul Krekorian, Sunland-Tujunga Alliance for their Art Sale, Little Landers Historical Society for the retirement party of outgoing President of this group, Lloyd Hitt. I have also started a regular column in our local paper, Voice of the Village, also contributing verse to its poetry corner. In this blog I'll post some of this occasional work that is created for the enjoyment of my friends and neighbors, to celebrate, laugh, and, sometimes, grieve with them.
You may see the list of events below and selected photographs in my Poet Laureate Picasa Photo Album. There are samples of poetry from my three books online in various places (Rose Always, Miriam's Iris, and Chopin with Cherries selected for the Cosmopolitan Review). I have also published online some chapbooks that are there because I like them (Glorias & Assorted Praises, Poems for My Friend, and Poems and Stories). Other poems were published on various sites, including a photo-album My Hat Collection, "Look at me..." in Loch Raven Review, (2010) and A Monument of Time and Memento Vitae in Clockwise Cat (2009).
If you want to know more of my poetry, you may consult the list of published poems, events and readings, and photos from recent events, as well as Picasa albums from Chopin with Cherries I, Chopin with Cherries II, the Spiritual Quartet readings and other events that will be added on. Here's my poem for the Passing of the Laurels Ceremony:
(C) 2010 by Maja Trochimczyk
The strong arms of the mountains
embracing, protecting our town
The lights scattered in the night valley
during my drive to the safety of home
How clouds sit on the hilltops
squishing them with their fat bottoms
The river playing hide-and-go-seek under the bridge
to nowhere: "now you see me – now you don't"
The towering white glory of yucca flowers in June –
we are Lilliputians in the giants' country
The mockingbird's melodies floating above
red-roofed houses asleep on little sunny streets
Armenian fruit tarts sweeter than fresh grapefruit
and pomegranate from my trees
Hot, shimmering air, scented with sage and star jasmine,
carved by the hummingbird's wings
The rainbow of roses, always blooming
in my secret garden

My bee friends and I are really enjoying Lori Holt's Farm Girl Vintage Sew-Along on her blog- Bee In My Bonnet.
The online Sew-Along, which debuts a new block or two every Friday, started on May 1st, when I was frantically sewing up some new clothes for our upcoming cruise.
Then I was gone on the cruise for three weeks, so I've spent the last few weeks since getting home catching up on the blocks I missed, and also collecting more fabrics for the style of the quilt. I've never been a small print fabric lover… the thirties were never my "thing", so I had none in my stash…so you know what that means-
In order to keep the many tiny pieces needed for each block organized, I made six small mini-design boards according to Lori's online tutorial found HERE!
Also, the Fat Quarter Shop sells small hard plastic pieces with the alphabet and numbers on them, which help you keep all those small pieces organized to coordinate with Lori's lovely directions.
I'll show you a photo of the organized cut pieces for each block, and then the finished block! Here are my blocks so far, starting with "Apron Strings" block on May 1st-
May 8th included two blocks- "Autumn Star"
and "Baby Chick"-
May 15th included two blocks- "Baking Day"
and "Butter Churn"
May 22nd included two blocks- "Canning Season"
and "Chicken Foot"
May 29th included two blocks- "Churn Dash"
and "Cool Threads"
June 5th included two blocks- "Corn and Tomatoes"
June 12th included two blocks - "Crops"
and "Egg Basket"
I've been living with a good deal of pain in my knees for a few years, but it's been getting really bad lately, so I decided to get it checked out. I went to my orthopedic doctor on Tuesday, and he told me both my knees are beyond bone on bone and are no longer aligned at all and need to be replaced. The right one is the worst, so we will start with that one on July 6th! So, I'll be trying to get ahead on the Farm Girl Vintage blocks and get some projects lined up that I can do by hand downstairs. My sewing room is upstairs, so won't be able to do the stairs for a while!! So, any of y'all out there already have had one or two total knee replacements? Any words of wisdom to share??
Yogi is really worried about my upcoming surgeries…

This one isn't about beading at all it's about respect and free speech.
I've been more and more disappointed, saddened and just plain angry about how the flag "free speech" is being used to disrespect people.
I don't really tie myself to one political party, because I've seen from the inside that 99% of politicians are pretty much all out for themselves, so when I say I'm liberal I mean it in the "tolerant, broad-minded" way.
I do believe that everyone has the right to their own opinion....so long as it doesn't hurt or abuse others.
I have no problem with poligamy (I live in Utah) as long as it is practiced by adults, and children are not coerced or brainwashed into it.
I believe any adult should be able to love any other adult no matter the color of their skin, their sexual preference, etc. and I believe they should have the same rights.
I believe state and church should function separately...if Halloween or New Year's eve falls on a Sunday...celebrate it on that day...don't go changing it because of religion (Saturdays are apparently ok because Judaism is overlooked....yes, again I live in Utah where they celebrated the new year a day early because it fell on a Sunday). For one religion to dictate to all the others in a state is very disrespectful...it says, if you don't believe what we believe you don't count....and we live in a democracy?
That's just some of what I believe.
One thing that has horrified me lately is this anti-gay group picketing the funerals of fallen soldiers whether they are gay or not. This idea that God is killing soldiers because America is 'tolerant' of gays is so offensive it makes me want to scream.
You can tout free speech all you like as you diss someone's opinions on their Facebook wall but if you were burying your son or daughter killed while fighting for their country and you had a bunch of protesters disrupting the funeral I have a feeling you might not be waving your own free speech flag.
Unfortunately technology has given us new issues about free speech and no conduct guidelines. So here's what I think:
A Facebook wall is like someone's garden, if they support a particular political party they may post something saying that....like the signs you see in people's gardens. Now, I doubt you would go into someone's garden and rip out that sign, or deface it, or plant your own right next to it. You probably just shake your head and drive/walk on by. Maybe you go put your own sign in your own garden...that's your right and the right thing to do....that's free speech with respect. In the same manner....click away from that person's wall and go post something on your own...if they have you on their feed, they will see it and you're not disrespecting their space.
Likewise, don't go posting to people's walls telling them to vote...odds are that by being online they are fully aware there's a vote coming up if it applies to them....and people, someone from Indonesia does not need to know about your local elections....ask yourself....do you care who is their mayor?
E-mail....do not take it for granted that because you have someone's e-mail address that they believe/support the same things you do. Realise they may actually believe/support the exact oposite view...and that they have every right to do that. They do not need your e-mail in their inbox spouting things against their belief....that's just antagonizing. Ahh...you say, "but I don't know what they believe in"...then you don't know them well enough to push your ideas onto them. Ask them if they mind recieving info about such and such...and if they say yes, they do mind...respect that.
It seems the more technology we get the more respect dies unless we stand up and fight for it. As those who know me know...I barely use my phone anymore. I turn it off. I have a cell phone for my convenience, and if I need to use it, I do....after considering if it will be convenient for the person I'm calling to recieve my call. It became obvious to me that I wasn't given the same consideration, hence my phone got turned off. Contact me by e-mail...you can always ask me if I have time to talk on the phone...and if it is....hey, I'll call you....but expect my # to be hidden because I no longer give it out.
Now if you are reading this and thinking "she's talking out her butt", I respect your opinion, please just leave an "I disagree" comment and then go to your own blog and write your own opinions there....because my blog is also my garden.....and I weed it :)

Recipe by:Executive Chef Chris MirguetAlbert's Restaurant, San Diego Zoo
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel squash, cut in half, remove seeds and dice into 1/4- to 1/2-inch cubes. Toss in olive oil, salt and pepper. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until tender (test by inserting a fork). Remove from oven and chill.
Once squash is cool, place in a bowl with lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, radish and sunflower seeds. Toss with dressing. Cook protein according to your preference. For example, sauté shrimp or chicken in olive oil. While the meat or seafood is still warm, add it to top of the salad. Garnish salads that include seafood with a lemon wedge, if you wish.
You may also arrange the salad components on a plate and drizzle with dressing.
Serves 1

I apologize to some of my more delicate readers for the vulgar title…there is just no better way to caption the end of my week. Indeed, since I wrote my Wednesday post, three stories of profound asshole-ery have come up and I simply must share. I'm going to do this a bit out of order, just so that I can explain the title first.
Tale of A-holeness The First!: Kay being a Twitter Asshole
As I have written before, my sister-in-law is pregnant with her second son. Poor girl. And she is married to my brother-in-law, who is a well documented asshole. She is due in May, but brother-in-law decided that, for his spring break week, he'd like to go to Florida. Via car. From Massachusetts. With their 1 year-old. Sounds pretty much like Hell. right? Well, because my sister-in-law decided to give up Facebook for Lent, she decided that the best place to complain about her pregnantness and her travel woes is via Twitter. (Shhh. Don't think about it too hard). I have a personal twitter account, where I generally lurk and don't tweet, mostly because I don't have much to tweet about. But I do like to lurk and I follow my sister-in-law because I'm an idiot. Usually, she isn't much for tweeting, but since giving up Facebook, she's been alls about the twitter. I just happened to get on twitter to look up a random hashtag conversation, and I see this:
"Thanks, [husband], for telling me to lose weight before I decide to cut my hair. Yeah, I totally caught that. You aren't as slick as you think."
….So I see that, and I'm like "Whaaaaaaa? What an asshole…" and then I move on.
But then I see this a few seconds later: "Good thing my husband's not (such) a huge moron and apologized for being a dick. Well, he knew we were "fighting" and told me to apologize."
Uh. "Told me to apologize"??? I'm all set. I had to say something.
So I tweet, "Told YOU to apologize?"
I really should not have said anything. I really, really shouldn't have.
She tweets back: "Jokingly. He didn't remember why we were "fighting" until I set him straight. He caught on pretty quickly. And apologized."
But THEN she tweets: "Haha, yea. Pretty sure the preggo hormones can be blamed for taking his comment to a whole, unintended level too. But he gets it."
Why are you blaming yourself (and your unborn baby) for your husband's insensitive assholery? That's ridiculous.
And, because I'm an asshole, I had to tweet one last shot: "Stayin' out of it….but preggo hormones cant be blamed for everything
#justsaying #buttingout #assholeisasassholedoes"
I thought I was being pretty cleaver when I wrote that first hashtag. The great irony, of course, is that as I typed "asshole is as asshole does," I was really speaking more about myself than I was about my stupid brother-in-law. I really should stay out of it. But that crap really bothers me.
Tale of A-holeness the Second!!: My Neighbor Hates My Baby
Ursa Minor is (finally) teething. He's been a real trooper about it, albeit a bit needy. Well, on Tuesday night, he woke up at around 11:30 and was not happy. We thought he'd cry it out, but after about 20 minutes of some pretty good screaming, I finally went in there and gave him some pain reliever and some boob to calm him down. He didn't like it when I left, he cried for another 15 minutes or so, but then he was cool. He was done, totally, by 1.
Not three hours after I wrote my lovely and productive Wednesday post, I start cooking dinner and get a knock on my door. It's my neighbor from next door. Who shares a wall with the Nursery. The same neighbor who, though from time to time we apologize about the noise that the boys make at night, has always told us that she doesn't mind the crying and that it's ok. We've always been like "we have such a great neighbor. We're so lucky!"
Well…here she is.
So I open the door, not even thinking about it, not even remembering what had happened the night before (because, clearly, I have other things to do with my time). I open the door with a smile, genuinely happy to see my neighbor.
"Hey!" I say.
Neighbor: "Hello."
"How are you? What can I do for you?"
Here it registers with me that this is not a social or happy call. Clearly the speech that had building in this woman's head during her commute home is bubbling up into her throat. "I just wanted to ask that you take more consideration…about the crying."
I'm now surprised. "What? Oh, I mean, I know that he had a rough night…"
"I mean, I have had to sleep on my couch and sometimes I don't get any sleep…and I work really hard, and I'm just getting home, but I only got 2 hours of sleep last night…"
Hand to my chest. "Oh my God, I'm so sorry…" I mean, I am not trying to keep this woman up at night…
"I mean, the screams just go right through me. I hear everything, you know? and I just want you to take more consideration… I mean, I figure he's teething, and I have tried to be understanding…"
"Right, I mean, he is teething…"
"Well, I don't know, maybe you can just, pick him up when he's crying, maybe? Or, I don't know, switch your rooms so that I don't have to hear it…"
"I mean, we'll do what we can to prevent them from waking you. I can't guarantee that he's not going to scream…"
"I just think that you should take more consideration…"
Me, now grasping for reason. "I mean, sometimes he wakes up and he puts himself back to sleep. Is it ok if we wait, you know, have a set amount of time…"
"It's just, you know, I feel bad because I know that he's a baby. I'm just saying that they are keeping me up. So, if you could just do something about it."
"Um, ok. Well, I'm sorry. I can't guarantee that he won't scream. But we will keep you in mind… ok?"
"Ok." And she leaves with a huff.
As she walked away, Ursa Major ways and says "Bye-bye!"
In the first 20 minutes after this conversation, I sincerely felt bad. I really don't want to be a bad neighbor, I don't want to keep this woman up, and I know that the boys share a wall with her bedroom. I actually considered, for a few minutes, switching our rooms and doing other things to make sure her more comfortable.
But the more that i processed it, the more angry that I became. This woman clearly had a bad day and decided that my sons and I were the reason why and then decided to come knock on my door and take it out on me. We live in an apartment building, noise is going to carry. Furthermore, that was the first bad night that Ursa Minor has had in a few weeks. Instead of being compassionate, she decides that "she works hard" and thus her sleep takes more precedence than anything happening in my household, indeed, even the comfort of my teething son.
And then she decided to come over here and yell at me (in front of my children). Because clearly it isn't hard enough.
So while we have taken steps to set up the portacrib in the living room "just in case" Ursa Minor needs soothing again…I now have my own speech in my head, just in case she comes back.
Tales of A-holeness Part The Final!!!: My playgroup sucks
I run a co-op playgroup at one of the college campuses around here. Co-op meaning that parents have rotating roles every week so that way every the group runs smoothly and everyone feels invested. Well, of course, this long winter has brought everything to a grinding halt. Between the snow and bought after bought of runny noses among the children, attendance has been pretty sporadic week to week. To top it all off, there have been funky babysitting situations where some people haven't been able to attend because the babysitting got weird. Fine. But here we are, it's spring, and we're trying to plan for summer and potentially fall. So I send out a survey a week ago asking for people to answer a few simple questions about where we are and where we are going. 4 families out of the 16 have replied.
Furthermore, I have had 3 moms drop out in the past three weeks.
I have 2 moms who are AWOL.
Which makes it almost impossible to assign roles every week because I don't know who is gonna be around!!!
So this week, I had to send a very frank e-mail: We're doing bubbles outside, I'm not buying bubbles for people who don't show up. Tell me if you are gonna be there. Oh, and do the flippin' survey.
Well, I've gotten a few replies. I guess that's a good thing.
What is the moral of all of these stories? No morals. Stuff happens and people suck. The night is dark and full of terrors.
See you Easter Monday with tales of group. Hopefully good ones. 🙂

Lung Cancer Prognosis
Lung Cancer Prognosis: Impact of StageThe lung cancer stage plays a role in the lung cancer prognosis. Based on historical data:
- 16 percent of lung cancer cases are diagnosed while the cancer is still confined to the primary site (localized stage)
- 37 percent of lung cancer cases are diagnosed after the cancer has spread to regional lymph nodes or directly beyond the primary site
- 39 percent of lung cancer cases are diagnosed after the cancer has already metastasized (distant stage)
- 8 percent of lung cancer cases had staging information that was unknown.
The corresponding 5-year relative survival rates were:
- 49.3 percent for localized
- 15.5 percent for regional
- 2.1 percent for distant
- 7.9 percent for unstaged.
Lung Cancer Prognosis: SummaryCancer patients and their loved ones face many unknowns. While some people find that it is easier to cope when they know the statistics, other people find statistical information confusing and frightening, and they think it is too impersonal to be of use to them. The doctor who is most familiar with a patient's situation is in the best position to discuss the lung cancer prognosis and to explain what the statistics concerning lung cancer may mean for that person.
At the same time, it is important to understand that even the doctor cannot know exactly what to expect. In fact, a person's prognosis may change if the cancer progresses, or if treatment is successful. Seeking information about the lung cancer prognosis is a personal decision, and it is up to each patient to decide how much information he or she wants to know and how to deal with it.

Italy is an interesting and full of historical event country. I have visited this Country at least on two occasions. The first occasion was in 2009 when I visited Rome, Florence and Venice. The second time was in November 2013 when I visited the historical sites of Syracusa and Taormina . In both occasions, I just fell in love with Italy housing architecture design.
As you could see from the housing pictures below, the Italian architecture is just beyond words. Most old building in Italy are built on baroque architecture. While many other are full of historical event to tell. Similarly in Taormina, the italian homes are mostly built on the mountain cliffs. Most buildings were recently built while some were with the influence from the Greece. In all, I just love the architecture in Taormina, Italy. Therefore, if you have a chance, please visit Taormina and you will be amazed by how those houses are built on the cliff edge of the mountain near the sea.

"Innovation is a survival issue."
One of the first rules of innovation is that you must clearly decide how your organization is going to play the innovation game. This is senior management's responsibility; there is no menu of generic strategies from which to choose. Each company's management team has to craft its own innovation strategy, adapt to changing conditions, and choose the right time to make key moves.
The innovation strategy must support the business strategy. The amount and type of innovation (radical, semiradical, and incremental) varies depending on the strategy and the competitive environment. As with anything important, timing ...

Gambia's dictator Yahya Jammeh has hired Alieu Momar Njie, as the new Chairman of the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) with immediate effect, the Freedom Newspaper can confirm. Mr. Njie replaces Mustapha Carayol, who has been sent on retirement by the Kanilai jester. Carayol has been heading the IEC since 2006.
Mr. Alieu Momar Njie was onetime the IEC Commissioner in the Upper River Region. He has confirmed receiving his appointment letter. Mr. Njie is expected to commence duties as the IEC Chairman today Monday.
Mr. Njie had a rough past with the Jammeh administration. He was detained in the past, following allegations of financial embezzlement. He served as Gambia's Scout Commissioner for years, before the regime filed trumped up charges against him. He was later released and set free.
Gambians are going to the polls on December, 1st to elect a new President. The opposition have decried about the lack of level playing field ahead of the December polls.

Thanks to a new phone system, Easton, PA-based cigars marketer Famous Smoke Shop has not only improved service levels at its call center, but it can now better upsell its premium cigars and accessories. The privately held company sells through catalogs, a wholesale division, and a Website, which accounts for 25% of its business.
Flexibility and functionality were the key criteria in selecting a new phone system, says systems administrator Chad Kercher. Famous Smoke Shop's previous system required the cataloger to contact the vendor to modify the most basic functions, such as changing its phone message in cases of inclement weather, Kercher says. With the new system, Rockwell FirstPoint's Business Edition, the cataloger can make such adjustments inhouse.
Installed in January 2002, Business Edition also provides more-sophisticated call routing. Using customer information collected from the caller through voice prompts, the system determines the type of call and which agent should receive it. The company's contact center employs seven reps, divided into sales agents and customer service reps, who handle an average of 600 calls per day.
While the company won't disclose what it paid for the system, Famous Smoke Shop is seeing the benefits in increased service levels. The marketer's goal is to have at least 80% of incoming customer service calls answered by a live agent within 20 seconds. "Since using Rockwell FirstPoint, we've been able to maintain that objective, with less than a 5% call drop-off," Kercher says.
The new system also allows Famous Smoke Shop to highlights its weekly specials, such as cigar sampler packs during gift-giving seasons, when customers are on hold. And the software's reporting capabilities allow Famous Smoke Shop to generate reports that indicate call activity, when customers called, which 800-number they used, and at what point callers abandoned the call.

A Guide to Wine Flash Sale Sites
A Right Bank Bordeaux red with 93 Parker Points for under $45; a bottle of 2008 Pianconello Rosso di Montcino at 50% off. Deals like these — available online, and for a limited time only — are the currency of wine flash sale websites. A growing trend in the industry over the last few years, think of the concept as impulse purchasing re-imagined for the card-carrying wine nerd in-the-know.
As more of these online marketplaces continue to sprout up across the Internet, keeping track of the differences between them can be a challenge. Who offers the biggest discounts? Where should I go for great user reviews? Can I get free shipping with that? Check out this guide to some of the web's major wine flash sale sites.
Cinderella Wine. Imagine Bacchus as your Fairy Godmother, delivering bargain-priced bottle temptation directly to your inbox. The site is an addition to Gary Vaynerchuck's expanding Wine Library brand, and it works like this: every night at 9:00PM EST, a bottle of wine goes on sale and when it sells out — poof — the killer deal that could have been yours magically turns into a pumpkin (icon). The site takes a Geico approach to showing just how much money you're saving, displaying Suggested Retail Price, Wine Library Sale Price, and Best Price on the Web to compare against their marked-down tag. Social interaction is heavily encouraged, displaying running member commentary on the wine of the night.
Wines 'Til Sold Out. The name pretty much sums it up: starting at midnight EST, a single bottle of wine is put up for sale until supplies run out. Expect to see discounts ranging from 30% to 70% off retail and competitive Internet prices — plus factor in the added bonus of free shipping. Keep an eye out for their special "marathon" promotions, a midnight to midnight mass sale on a large variety of wines.
Winery Insider. This is a private members only site, but as is the case with most of these wine flash sale operations, sign up is free. Here, the sales are labeled "events," and feature three different bargain bottles at up to 80% off retail price. Events begin at 8:00AM PST and members are notified of the specials via email, with a window of between 44 and 72 hours to decide if you want to spring on the deal. The site also offers a unique special feature they call a "sommelier sourcing service" for consumers interested in purchasing upwards of three cases.
Vinobest. A French group-buy site where the more members buy, the greater the discount fore everyone. The items up for group sale show in real time just how many people have purchased the wine and how much it has lowered the price. Other cool features include suggested dish pairings, ideal serving temperature, and projected shelf life, in addition the stander tasting notes and vineyard specs. Facebook savvy weeks should check out their application, which helps recruit more like-minded shoppers. Just be sure to keep a translator handy, some key details (the wine on offer is sold only by a box of 12 bottles) remain in French.

All-party meeting on Telangana unlikely soon
"We won`t jump straightaway to all-party meeting, we will have to first talk to people of Andhra Pradesh and people of other political parties and different regions," party General Secretary Ghulam Nabi Azad told NDTV.
Azad, who is in-charge of party affairs in Andhra Pradesh, said that those agitating for a separate Telangana want some process to start and "this is the time we have to take a decision on this issue".
Dismissing suggestions that the UPA coalition at the Centre was in a crisis in the wake of the resignation of several MPs, he, however, said that "the fact of the matter is that there is a problem and it is going on for sometime."
"It is a sensitive and a complex issue which requires wider consultations," Azad said, adding that earlier in the day he had "very cordial" discussions with MPs and representatives of legislators.
He said these representatives want a discussion to start and "they asked me why no consultations have started. So this is the stage where we are left and I am sure that we will have to start consultations."

Journalism graduates make headlines in the industry
From a press release to email@example.com
Posted 16 February 2015, 5.36am est
Students and lecturers from Sheffield Hallam University welcomed back 25 journalism and media graduates last week to hear their secrets of how they got a start in the industry.
The graduates, who are now working in a range of careers including TV, radio, print, magazines, PR, social media and communications, took time out of their work schedules to come back and share their experiences about how to land that dream first job.
The professionals gave talks about preparing for interviews, how to write an eye-catching CV, and dealing with rejection, to a crowd of second and third-year journalism students, who will soon be making their first steps in the industry.
BA journalism graduate Ian Barber now works as a production journalist at Granada TV. He said: "The work placements I did were so important in giving me the experience I needed to get my job. Getting a job is tough in this climate - be prepared to face some knockbacks but keep at it."
Eleanor Ingleby, in her third year studying journalism at Sheffield Hallam, said: "Today has been so inspiring, everyone has given some really valuable tips for getting ahead. It's been reassuring to know that all these people have managed to get jobs at the other end."
After the talks students and graduates were given the chance to mingle and Pro Vice-Chancellor & Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Computing, Engineering and Sciences Roger Eccleston thanked the alumni for giving up their time.
He said: "This is a daunting time for all students, but thank you to our alumni for coming back to share their experiences and to prove there is life and hope beyond graduation."
Senior Lecturer in Broadcast Journalism Philo Holland organised the event. He said: "Getting graduates to come back and talk about how they got their jobs to undergraduates is such a simple idea – but it's so successful.
"Students find it reassuring and inspiring to see that, despite the gloomy talk, there are so many jobs which their degree can help them get. Perhaps not necessarily in traditional journalism roles, but in social media, PR, marketing, website management, and teaching for example.
"It's wonderful that our graduates are so happy to help the next generation, that they're prepared to take a day off work to come back to pass on their pearls of wisdom. "

Cracks in Earth's Magnetic Shield
Immense cracks in our planet's magnetic field can remain open for hours, allowing the solar wind to gush through and power stormy space weather.
This stream of solar wind ions bombarded our atmosphere in precisely the same region where IMAGE saw the proton aurora. The fact that IMAGE was able to view the proton aurora for more than 9 hours implies that the crack remained continuously open. Researchers estimate that the crack was twice the size of Earth at the boundary of our magnetic shield--about 38,000 miles (60,000 km) above the planet's surface. Since the magnetic field converges as it enters the Earth in the polar regions, the crack narrowed to about the size of California down near the upper atmosphere.
Magnetic Portals Connect Earth to the Sun Oct. 30, 2008: During the time it takes you to read this article, something will happen high overhead that until recently many scientists didn't believe in. A magnetic portal will open, linking Earth to the sun 93 million miles away. Tons of high-energy particles may flow through the opening before it closes again, around the time you reach the end of the page.

By Cortney Wills for Billboard, June 28, 2015
Los Angeles – Day three of BET Experience brought some serious hip-hop heads to L.A. Live's Club Nokia on Saturday night (June 27). Black Thought, Questlove and the rest of The Roots were joined by Erykah Badu and a grab bag of other artists to pay homage to their fallen friend James Dewitt Yancey, better known as J Dilla.
The three-hour concert roared into the early morning hours and was full of surprise guests — including Lauryn Hill and Busta Rhymes — who were immeasurably influenced by the late producer's music. Some offered stories about how they met the Detroit-native who died of a blood disease in 2006 and others just belted out the hits he helped them create.
Badu arrived on the stage with the help of a motorized skateboard that she stayed on for 20 minutes while she seduced the packed house with "Window Seat," "On and On" and "Love Of My Life," before bringing out the night's first guest, Busta Rhymes.
The rapper battled a troublesome microphone during his performance of his 1997 hit "Put You Hands Where My Eyes Could See" and "Woo Hah!" and eventually ditched it before delivering a heartfelt monologue about Dilla. "Jump" and "Pass the Courvoisier" brought the whole crowd to their feet before Busta made his swift exit.
Next up was The Pharcyde, the Cali-bred group that Dilla used to DJ for, who served up "Runnin" and "Passing Me By" before Slum Village shocked the crowd by showing up to share some hits.

16 Famous Bands Whose Members Died Tragically and How They Handled It
How do bands go on after a core member dies, especially at the very height of their fame? Every group handles band member deaths differently: Nirvana broke up, Queen tried out different singers, and INXS turned to reality TV to find a new front man.
This list explores all the possibilities - from bands whose lead singers died to bands left without drummers, bassists, guitarists and keyboardists. Here are the biggest bands that had a main member die and how they moved on.
Member who died: Jim Morrison of a heroin overdose, 1971The Doors's lead singer, Jim Morrison joined the 27 Club in 1971 when he died of a heroin overdose. The band attempted to keep it together, with members Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger taking over on lead vocals. That arrangement only lasted for two years before The Doors officially disbanded.

Albums: The Doors, L.A. Woman, Strange Days, Morrison Hotel, Light My Fire, + more

Career Began: Los Angeles, California, United States of Americasee more on The Doors
Member who died: Duane Allman of a motorcycle accident, 1971Duane Allman, founding member of the Allman Brothers, was just 24 when he was killed in a motorcycle accident. The band kept playing without Allman; as drummer Butch Trucks put it, "We all had this thing in us and Duane put it there. He was the teacher and he gave something to us - his disciples - that we had to play out."
Genres (Music): Blues-rock, Boogie rock, Rock music, Instrumental rock, Folk rock, + more

Member who died: Clarence Clemons of stroke complications, 2011
Clarence Clemons was perhaps the most famous member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. The saxophonist was with the group from the '70s all the way up until his 2011 death. Clemons accomplished more in death than most people do in life, though - he was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014. These days, the E Street Band tours with a new saxophonist - Jake Clemons, Clarence's nephew.
Genres (Music): Americana, Blues-rock, Country

Member who died: Jerry Garcia of a heart attack, 1995The legacy of the Grateful Dead - and the group's singer, Jerry Garcia - still lives on, even 20 years after Garcia's death. The Dead went into retirement for a short time after Garcia passed, but the Deadheads (the group's fan base) weren't having it. The rest of the band is touring again as Dead and Company, fronted by pop superstar John Mayer.

Program Name: Mazda Certified Pre-Owned
Mazda makes some truly wonderful-driving cars, so we don't blame you for wanting to pick up one of the company's CPO models. Like many of its Japanese compatriots, Mazda offers a lengthy powertrain warranty, which should inspire confidence. Even so, the powertrain warranty's term is only one year longer than the vehicle age limit for CPO cars, so make sure to be aware of how much coverage is left on the chosen vehicle. Mazda's CPO (non powertrain) limited warranty is relatively short and seems designed to encourage customers to pay extra for one of the company's extended warranties. With no deductible for covered repairs, though, you could still end up saving money over other brands.
Vehicle Eligibility:
Eligible vehicles are less than six years old and have less than 80,000 miles
Powertrain Limited Warranty: Seven years or 100,000 miles of powertrain coverage starting from the date of new-car purchase
Certified Limited Warranty: Twelve months or 12,000 miles, starting from the expiration of the new-car warranty or from the date of CPO purchase if new-car warranty has already expired
Extended Warranty: Available coverage plans can lengthen warranty period to up to nine years or 100,000 miles
No deductible for covered repairs
Warranty is transferable to a subsequent owner
150-point inspection
AutoCheck vehicle history report
Three-month free trial of SiriusXM satellite radio
24-hour roadside assistance for duration of powertrain warranty

|Robert Bresson
|25 September 1901
Puy-de-Dôme, Auvergne, France
|December 18, 1999 (aged 98)
Paris, France
|Film director
|Years active
|1933 - 1983
|Leidia van der Zee (m.1926)
Marie-Madeleine van der Mersch
Robert Bresson (pronounced [ʁɔbɛʁ bʁɛˈsɔ̃] in French) (25 September 1901 – 18 December 1999) was a French film director known for his spiritual, ascetic style.
Bresson was born at Bromont-Lamothe, Puy-de-Dôme. Little is known of his early life and the year of his birth, 1901 or 1907 varies depending on the source. He was educated at Lycée Lakanal à Sceaux, Paris, and turned to painting after graduating.[1] Three formative influences in his early life seem to have a mark on his films - Catholicism, art and his experiences as a prisoner of war.
Initially also a photographer, Bresson made his first short film, Les affaires publiques (Public Affairs) in 1934. During World War II, he spent over a year in a prisoner-of-war camp - an experience which informs Un condamné à mort s'est échappé ou Le vent souffle où il veut (A Man Escaped). In a career that spanned fifty years, Bresson made only 13 feature-length films. This reflects his meticulous approach to the filmmaking process and his non-commercial preoccupations.[citation needed] Difficulty finding funding for his projects was also a factor.
Bresson's early artistic focus was to separate the language of cinema from the theatre, which often heavily involves the actor's performance to drive the work. With his 'actor-model' technique, Bresson's actors were required to repeat multiple takes of each scene until all semblances of 'performance' were stripped away, leaving a stark effect that registers as both subtle and raw, and one that can only be found in the cinema. Some feel that Bresson's Catholic upbringing and Jansenist belief-system lie behind the thematic structure of most of his films. Recurring themes under this interpretation include salvation, redemption, defining and revealing the human soul, and metaphysical transcendence of a limiting and materialistic world. An example is his 1956 feature A Man Escaped, where a seemingly simple plot of a prisoner of war's escape can be read as a metaphor for the mysterious process of salvation.
Bresson's films can also be understood as critiques of French society and the wider world, with each revealing the director's sympathetic if unsentimental view on its victims. That the main characters of Bresson's most contemporary films, L'Argent and The Devil, Probably (1977), reach similarly unsettling conclusions about life indicates to some the director's feelings towards the culpability of modern society in the dissolution of individuals. Indeed, of an earlier protagonist he said, "Mouchette offers evidence of misery and cruelty. She is found everywhere: wars, concentration camps, tortures, assassinations."[2] In 1975, Bresson published Notes sur le Cinématographe (most commonly translated as "notes on cinematography"), in which he argues for a unique sense of the term, "cinematography". For Bresson, cinematography is the higher function of cinema. Whereas a movie is in essence "only" filmed theatre, cinematography is an attempt to create a new language of moving images and sounds.
Bresson is often referred to as a patron saint of cinema, not only for the strong Catholic themes found throughout his oeuvre, but also for his notable contributions to the art of film. His style can be detected through his use of sound, associating selected sounds with images or characters; paring dramatic form to its essentials by the spare use of music; and through his infamous 'actor-model' methods of directing his almost exclusively non-professional actors. He has influenced a number of other filmmakers, including Andrei Tarkovsky, Michael Haneke, Jim Jarmusch, the Dardenne brothers and Paul Schrader, whose book Transcendental Style in Film: Ozu, Bresson, Dreyer (ISBN 0-306-80335-6) includes a detailed critical analysis.
Bresson's book Notes on Cinematography (1975) is one of the most respected books on film theory and criticism. His theories about film greatly influenced other filmmakers such as the French New Wave directors.
"My movie is born first in my head, dies on paper; is resuscitated by the living persons and real objects I use, which are killed on film but, placed in a certain order and projected on to a screen, come to life again like flowers in water." - Robert Bresson[3]
"Don't run after poetry. It penetrates unaided through the cracks." -Robert Bresson
Robert Bresson was given the Career Golden Lion in 1989 by the Venice Film Festival
