How will Microsoft SharePoint Bring Value to My Business?
The two most commonly asked questions about Microsoft SharePoint are, "What is Microsoft SharePoint?" and "Why should I implement Microsoft SharePoint for my organization?" Both are variations of the underlying question – What value will it bring to my business?
Basically, Microsoft SharePoint is a platform for quickly building web sites and web-based applications. As such, it can do and be a lot of different things. While that has, no doubt, contributed to SharePoint's success as a product, it makes it hard to understand what it's all about and how to get the most value out of it. So I have tried to break it down a little bit further for you in this blog.
Build Effective Communities
This covers perhaps the most fundamental usage of SharePoint – the corporate intranet or organizational portal. These types of solutions allow organizations to disseminate information to employees in a richer, more interactive fashion than email or newsletters allow. Common examples include:
- News and Announcements
- Upcoming Events
- Shared Calendars
- Dashboards
- Links to Commonly Used Websites and Applications
The main benefits here are faster and easier access to information, tools and people, which can result in enhanced productivity.
Document and Content Management
Here, we are talking about two main areas. The first is managing the document lifecycle, from 'cradle to grave.' This includes file creation and receipt, collaboration, review, approval, and publishing, as well as addressing auditing and compliance requirements. The second area is content navigation and retrieval. Traditional folder structures are limiting – they provide a 'one dimensional' way of organizing files, which rarely works for everyone, all the time. SharePoint provides multiple ways of classifying files, which enables different methods of browsing and finding content, along with powerful search capabilities. These features can help people more quickly find the content they need, when and where they need it.
SharePoint also allows you to extend these concepts to parties external to the organization, in what's typically referred to as an 'Extranet' scenario. You can enable secure outside access to a SharePoint environment, and allow customers, vendors and/or partners to view documents and information, or even communicate and collaborate interactively with your employees. This allows you to provide more value to your customers, and engage them more deeply. Unlike intranets and document management, which serve primarily to enhance productivity and reduce costs, extranets can actually drive top-line revenue in many cases.
Drive Organizational Efficiencies
Beyond the main areas we have already discussed, there are a variety of ways that SharePoint can help drive organizational efficiencies. It can serve as the platform for delivering all kinds of business intelligence and data visualization assets. It can help streamline repetitive business processes and make them more transparent and manageable. Last but not least, it can provide effective, integrated solutions for a wide variety of typical business challenges. Common examples include:
- Benefits Management
- Employee / Customer / Vendor Provisioning Processes
- Service Request / Requisition / Ticketing Systems
- Any Review or Approval Routing Scenario
Hopefully, the 'value areas' described above have helped shed some light on the many ways that SharePoint can benefit your organization. Of course, the examples provided barely scratch the surface of what is possible. I encourage you to contact the SharePoint consultants at SWC if you are interested in discovering what Microsoft SharePoint has to offer, and how to successfully implement it for your business.

A special heartfelt Thank you to Barnes Harley Davidson for their support and beautiful review and sharing of the Molten Metal video on their website blog. A big Cheer out to my H.O.G. friends and family.
Tara Kye was overwhelmed with gratitude at the beautiful review from Skunk Radio Live. We have to share with you All.
Molten Metal Review
"Tara Kye returns with another reflective rock song, this time with an ominous theme. It was released independently by the Canadian Rock singer songwriter in April 2015. In this song, Tara talks about adversity, despair, hell,overcoming obstacles and the struggle to stay alive. Molten Metal has a generally dark, scary feel that is powerful and gripping. The lyrics are deep and tell the story of a close encounter of death.
Tara's innocent, angelic voice gives the song a mildly operatic and cinematic ambiance.
It has the feel of a horror movie soundtrack. It starts off very mellow and minimal with just a piano and then builds all the way through the chorus which has more of a hard rock feel which becomes even fuller and more intense with every passing verse.
It's a great listen that will make you appreciate life a little more than you already do."
Tara Kye is very thankful for the wonderful support and promotion of Skunk Radio Live in the United Kingdom.

Proper Gastro Pub
795 J Street, Downtown San Diego(Has gone out of business since this article was published.)
Of all the gastropubs opening this year, Proper Gastro Pub seems to have the most extensive and ambitious menu, along with an especially rich selection of English pub-food classics, jiggered by chef Sean Magee into, well, something better than most British pub-grub. It's a spin-off from Wine Steals and occupies the adjoining premises. I've been waiting months to try it, until the Padres were done for the year, so as to secure easy parking, because the pub is on a pedestrian alley next door to Petco. (See "Need to Know" for directions — you will need them.)
Proper is in a heritage building (erected 1912) and much care has gone into making its interior look both pubby and old-timey American, with dark wood on floors, chair-backs, booth-backs, tables, and the heavy wooden framework around the open kitchen's window to the world, which faces a bar with a black-and-white mini-tiled floor and tall, bar-table dinner seating. The
dining room, windowed on two sides, offers three massive, magnificent raised booths of pincushion brown leather with large round tables. At the regular tables, the chairs have black leather cushions on backs and seats; utensils are wrapped in black linen napkins. The staffers exude sheer niceness.
Alas, there are several huge flat-screen TVs, and on Monday "Football Night" they were blasting out a Jets game, albeit not loudly enough (at our table) to drown out conversation. Unless you're really interested in the game, you're better off choosing any other night because Football Night is the opposite of Foodie Night — the chef hasn't yet done his weekly or semi-weekly shopping at the fishmongers' for the night's seafood special, or for fresh organic produce at Suzie's Farm, near Imperial Beach. To my severe disappointment, all the roasted bone marrows had been consumed over the weekend.
I arrived first of my posse that evening, and while waiting, amused myself with a sample of the mixologist's magic, a frothy, lightly tangy Pear-Fect Fizz ($7). There's a lot of fun on the specialty cocktail list, ranging from the 1840 Pimm's Cup, the 1860 New Orleans Sazerac, the 1901 Floradora, to new inventions by bartender Rich Easter.
I had just finished my lovely quaff when Ben, Lynne, and Ryan all filtered in within a few minutes of each other. It was still happy hour, so the dudes enjoyed half-price craft beers and Lynne went for a glass of Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc, which I liked enough to buy a screw-top bottle ($19) of to start off our grazing orgy. Later, moving to the heavier dishes, a Jardin Côtes du Rhône ($18) was smooth, food-friendly, unpretentious, a right red for gastropub grub.
A half-size "cheese and fruit board" held a cornucopia of mainly unseasonal fresh fruits that would make militant locovores cry "Anathema!" — small, seedless red grapes, strawberries, chunks of melon and pineapple along with orange and apple slices and golden raisins, plus bread and lavash. The cheeses — brie, bleu, gouda, havarti, Swiss — were plebeian, supermarket quality rather than artisanal. These choices are not what you'd get in those idealized English pubs planted in my brain by Reginald Hill's brilliant British policier series, where copper "Fat Andy" Dalziel gobbles ploughman's lunches on the fly in Yorkshire, enjoying cheeses that are as richly flavored and staunchly regional as his character is.
Next listing on the menu is "local mussels" (i.e., Carlsbad-farmed), which come in three versions: cooked in Guinness stout, Belgian style, or with Danish bleu cheese and bacon. We chose the version cooked in Belgian beer with roasted corn in a creamy pink sauce colored by oven-dried tomato. It was pretty good. (It was also served in a cramped small bowl, with a larger ceramic bowl for shells — Ryan quickly solved the problem, upending the mussels into the shell bowl so we could enjoy them and their sauce.)
For the "bites" and "small plates," I'll describe them in order of pleasure, the best three first. Piquillo peppers (skinned, lightly smoked mild chiles) are a staple of Spanish tapas, with a full flavor and sensuous mouth feel. Here, they're stuffed with ungreasy Spanish-style chopped chorizo, black beans, and creamed corn, the plate filled out with baby spinach, Kalamata gelée, and cilantro purée. This may sound heavy, but the stuffing proved light and mousselike, the composition of flavors fascinating.
Crispy cocoa pork belly is spectacular, all the more so for pub grub, offering a complex array of complementary flavors in one small dish. It combines tender pork with a crisp surface, flavored by cocoa dust that lends a subtle chocolate flavor, accompanied by a small, delicious portion of cavolo nero, an Italian dark-colored kale, and an airy pouf of coffee crème mousse, with a sweet sauce of reduced pork juices and black currants. Whoo-hoo!
We also loved the pork cheek "lasagna" of braised pork cheek with interesting mushrooms, roasted garlic, baby spinach, and more, topped with a few desultory, excessively al dente pasta pieces, with a hard cider and pork jus reduction.
These three dishes are triumphs of the gastropub over the everyday pub, an array of ingredients working together to create fulfilling, intriguing flavors. In some other grazes, though, ingredients trip over each other's feet. A tiny "terroir tartlet" of mushrooms and herbed cheddar was terrorized by a haystack of wild arugula and balsamic dressing under which the tart was buried. Marinated grilled artichoke had a good aioli dip well hidden under a salad, and a sharp, unadvertised second sauce (horseradish?) similarly concealed. I really like food better when I can actually find it.
A stack of diced raw ahi with steamed edamame over ultra-sweet pickled cucumber slices, proved a do-it-yourself number, with a fierce wasabi sauce and spicy hoisin sauce on the side, and a topping of delightful fried wonton skins. It's up to the diner to discover that the sharp blasts of wasabi and hoisin aren't casual garnishes, but necessary flavor components. Without one or both, the other elements are sickly sweet. Sorry, I don't want to excavate ingredients that complete the flavor — chefs are supposed to do that.
Sausage rolls are the standard quick lunch of cops in all Brit mysteries, but I don't think that Proper's version benefits from the juiceless house-made pork sausage, tasting like leftover meat loaf, served en croute in its fine puff-pastry crust. (At least they weren't bangers. If you're really hot to eat like a Brit, you can find those horrors, with mash, among the "small plates," but by worldwide acclaim they're probably the worst sausages ever invented: greasy, bland, and bready, all the worse for the inevitable sauté in packaged white fat made of lard, suet, and/or mutton tallow — I wonder, has the Queen ever eaten bangers and grease-fried mushrooms for breakfast, as her subjects do?)
As for the Proper Pub Fish Taco, dirt cheap but overwhelmed by raw onion — just fuhgettaboudit. "Never eat Mexican food in a restaurant that isn't Mexican," said Ryan. "Unless it's the grilled fish tacos at Blue Waters," said Lynne. "Which aren't all that Mexican," Ben said, "just really good."
Turning to the next page on the long menu, we find pizzas, wraps, and entrées. We sampled a slice of the Margherita pizza (tomatoes, basil, buffalo, and regular mozzarellas) and it was dandy, with a thin, crisp crust somewhere between New York and Roman styles, and a thin, tasty topping. The list of specialty wraps and pizzas, each named for a wine grape, is intensely tempting.
Then we tried two fine versions of what the menu calls "Pub Classics All Dressed Up." The Shepherd's Pie, that quintessence of comfort food, would fill a family of four, or two nongrazers coming just for this, or one Fat Andy Dalziel in Reginald Hill's novels. It's a homely peasant dish, but this is the version you've always wanted. Nowadays most shepherd's pies are made with ground beef (more properly called cottage pie) or with any chopped-up leftover meat. Given the name of the dish, lamb is obviously the original, designated animal. The cook mixes the meat with vegetables and reduced broth or gravy to moisten it and enrich the taste and nutrition of this one-dish meal before topping it with mashed potatoes. Here, this enrichment includes wonderful chopped wintry roots — rutabaga, turnips, carrots, celeriac — and the mash crust on top mixes parsnips with Yukon Golds. Authentic, seasonal, and tastes great, too!
The Black & Tan Mac & Cheese includes smoked cheddar, gruyère, roasted garlic, grape tomatoes, grilled onions, applewood-smoked bacon, and "Guinness béchamel," with a bacon and panko crust. It's fearfully rich and tasty enough to make you forget about your cholesterol level. The half-size portion would sate a heavy eater who hadn't snacked beforehand.
No desserts were offered. (Say, apple tartlets with melted English or Vermont cheddar on top would fit this restaurant's format!) Of course, we didn't miss a sweet, being too well fed already. I've been eating at gastropubs all year, and judge Proper one of the very best, offering good value for tasty food, with a serious chef for the gastro and classic Brit menu items. If fictional Fat Andy miraculously showed up live in San Diego, this is where I'd take him. But they'd better put some Wensleydale on that cheese plate for him! ■

Interesting addition to the local array of establishments providing quality comfort food. About the comment "Never eat Mexican food in a restaurant that isn't Mexican."----that depends on the chef. An excellent example of good stuff is any "Mexican" item on the menu at Adams Avenue Grill!

PFW RECAP: Lanvin, Balmain, and more!
Round two of our look at Paris fashion week held nothing back. From a spotlight on newcomer Kendall Jenner to the return of Amber Valetta, the City of Lights had little to complain about.
Models pulled faces for Sonny Vandevelde at Balmain's sexed-up runway romp, Lanvin's take on minimalism, Manish Arora's imagining of M.I.A's Candyland, and Rick Owen's swamp-like ballerinas.
After catching up on everything Paris, look back at New York, London, and Milan.

Wireless Bluetooth speakers sometimes called modern day Boombox have become very popular.
Like the Boomboxes from the old days they are portable, have long battery life, and play music nicely.
They can sync with any Bluetooth device such as a smartphone or iPod and play music on demand.
So which Bluetooth portable speakers Boombox are the best?
We broke down our favorite options and list them below.
Our Picks for Best Bluetooth BoomBox
Mpow Bluetooth Speaker with 22 Hour Playtime,Portable Waterproof Speakers with 5200mah Power Bank
The Mpow Armor Plus is a portable Bluetooth speaker that is built solid.
Made for outdoor use it is waterproof and has a rubber coating on its outer edge.
A nice feature is it can be used as a power brick to charge other devices via USB.
If you are looking for a outdoor Bluetooth boombox while on the go than the Mpow Armor Plus is worth a look.
Read Full Review Here
Omaker W4N Portable Mini Bluetooth 4.0 Speaker with 12 Hours Playtime,W4 New Generation ,Small Wireless Bluetooth Speakers for Office, Home and Trips
This small speaker from Omaker is a good low cost option.
The sound is really good for such a small compact speaker. Other features include hand free calling and made from ABS for strength durability.
Read Full Review Here
Vtin Royaler Premium Stereo Bluetooth 4.0 Speaker 20W Output, Subwoofer
This unit from Vtin Royaler is made for home use.
It is not waterproof so using it on the go would be risky and is built for indoor use.
It makes up for this with a 20W speaker which most other speakers range from 4-8W.
While it is made for home use and the better speaker drains the the battery quicker than other units (4-8 hours) it has a good sound.
Read Full Review Here
Wireless Bluetooth BoomBox's are a modern day twist on a old idea, music on-the-go.
While tethered stereo systems built into cars or homes will have better sound they are non-portable items that are useless at the beach or on a hike.
Portable speakers while small have a sound that often surprises users.
As always be sure to read reviews on Amazon or elsewhere to be sure a unit is a good fit for you.

LearnNC Resources for Global Scholars
October 30, 2008
LearnNC is building a collection of multimedia resources and lesson plans that help students understand different cultures around the world.
LEARN NC offers a collection of more than 2,000 high-resolution photographs and audio recordings from Asia and Latin America. All include detailed descriptions or transcripts, and most include historical or cultural context to help you use them in your classroom. We've also developed slideshows that incorporate many of these resources, and we're developing lesson plans around them that encourage higher-order thinking and develop visual literacy.
The media collection can be found at LearnNC.org. I used the search box with the term "World Multimedia" and it took me right to the collection. The collection is here: http://www.learnnc.org/lp/pages/4162.
You can also go directly to multimedia resources or a particular country by going to the Multimedia Collection at LearnNC and then clicking a link in the Tag Cloud : http://www.learnnc.org/multimedia/ (scroll down to see tag cloud)
LearnNC is also developing lesson plans that incorporate this multimedia. Many of the lessons are written for middle or high school but could easily be adapted to elementary. Lesson plan collection is here: http://www.learnnc.org/search?project_ID=20&ed_type=lesson+plan,teacher's+guide
These are excellent resources for our Global Scholars!

Woman's World Article on Poi - August 2001
279 views
This article described poi as a bit of a miracle diet food, and we received many telephone calls from people who simply wanted poi. While the article is true, it left out some of the more important facts about the "poi diet" --- you can't simply eat whatever you want and poi and expect to lose weight. Unfortunately, it just doesn't work like that.

For those of you who're jaded by the whole MultiCam obsession, Predator Armaments now offers the Special Operations Research and Development Releasable Variable Armor Carrier in A-TACS.
The Variable Armor Carrier (VAC) is the most versatile carrier in the SORD armor carrier range. It can be worn as a plate carrier offering protection to the front and rear, cutting weight and profile. With wings and soft armor inserts added they incorporate the plate carrier set up into a full armor carrier. The sides can be added or subtracted as the user requires. The side wings can hold soft armor inserts as well as small hard plates.Kit Up! is pretty into the A-TACS pattern, since it seems particularly suitable for urban operations and high mountain zones. We've heard that the folks who developed A-TACS have four camo patterns in the cooker for the Army's Phase IV program -- and they're not just slight variations of the current unique colorway.
With the single jettison handle, quick system cut-away is achieved in emergency casualty access, maritime / aircraft accident, WMD decontamination situations. The four cable jettison system activates much faster and more effectively than previous designs. Mil-spec mesh material has been used as the backing face to reduce weight and provide breathability of the armor in hot environments to avoid mildew build up. Sagging of the cummerbund has been eliminated with the addition of a fold-over Velcro sandwich on either side that transfers weight on a vertical axis as opposed to the older standard Velcro wrap that peels off under weight.

Elections are good for business especially if you're a Westminster
The Bass-managed Marquis of Granby is situated within 500 yards of the
main parties' headquarters.
As the press descended on SW1, Manager Mike Bowler wondered how to
capitalise on his pub's ringside location. He came up with the idea of
running an election ale poll, with pints of beer replacing ballot papers
in deciding the country's fate.
To promote two Westminster pubs - the Marquis of Granby and the White
Horse and Bower - to journalists and tourists and to publicise Bass
Taverns and the Bass brand.
With support from Bass, a special, limited edition election brew was
commissioned from the Bass Museum micro brewery in Burton-on-Trent.
Although sold in both pubs, pints of election ale only counted as votes
when bought in the Marquis of Granby. The leaders of the three main
parties were each allocated a pump selling election ale, complete with a
caricatured portrait.
Customers were asked which pump they wished to be served from and the
results recorded on a beerometer.
The campaign focused on national press and TV although the international
media was also important as a means of telling tourists where to find
the pubs.
A key challenge for the agency was maintaining press interest throughout
the four weeks, in the face of strong competition from 'real' political
stories. This was addressed by regular news updates on the party
leaders' progress over the period of the campaign. The story's strong
visual element provided opportunities for press and TV.
With 1,067 votes however, for Tony Blair compared with 1,037 for Paddy
Ashdown, Labour's victory was hardly a drinkslide. John Major collected
just 819 votes.
Media coverage of the poll included the Independent, the Guardian,
Reuters, CNN, Fox Cable and Channel 4. There was coverage on Japanese TV
and on TV and radio stations in seven European countries. Profits at the
Marquis of Granby rose by pounds 6,000 in the last two weeks of the
The campaign did not make a big impact on the UK press, most notably the
tabloids for whom the story would have been ideal. One explanation is
that many journalists were out following the campaign trail. However, it
generated strong interest in the international press who warmed to the
story's quirky nature. Bass Taverns felt it was an encouraging result
for a project which, according to PR manager Janice Clark, was 'just a
bit of fun'.

Toyota Recalls Defective RAV4 Cars In ChinaFebruary 2, 2010 | Print | Email | Comments | Category: Consumer
As part of Toyota's worldwide recall of defective vehicles, Tianjin Toyota Motor Company has filed a report to China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, saying that it will start recalling 75,552 defective RAV4 cars in China from February 28, 2010.
It is learned that the cars involved were produced between March 19, 2009 and January 25, 2010. Toyota says that the recall is mainly due to a potential flaw in the accelerator pedal of these cars that may, in some rare cases, cause a failure in slowing down, and hence affect driving safety.
To date, Toyota has stopped the sale of all RAV4 cars with the potential problem and it has said that it will offer a free rectification service for all the recalled cars. The company says it will notify car owners about the recall by letter, telephone call, or mobile phone text messages. In the meantime consumers in China can call the company's hotline or log onto the websites dpac.gov.cn or qiche365.org.cn, or call 010-59799616 to learn about more recall details.
So far, Toyota has recalled a total of more than 5.42 million defective cars worldwide. And this is reported to account for about 70% of the company's global car sales in 2009.

Linux Journal takes a look at Alien, a utility to convert one package type into another
Sometimes, a utility or an application that you want to install is impossible to find in the format of your distribution. Alien is a utility that can convert one package type into another. It can get you out of a fix when you can't find a package for your distribution, and it is also useful for package maintainers who want to distribute packages for distributions that they don't run. It can work with Slackware, Debian and RPM packages as input and output types.

Quick Links: Home Page Tips
BEST WAY DOWNTOWN: Airport Shuttle BASICS Los Angeles International is 15 miles (24) km southwest of downtown Los Angeles. Travelers Aid has an office in each terminal. There are ground transport booths outside the arrivals area of each terminal. TAXI Taxis are available at stands outside all of the terminals. Expect to pay about $25 to downtown, and $45 to Pasadena. Travel time to downtown can be as short as 20 minutes, but is usually longer because of traffic. AIRPORT SHUTTLE Supershuttle provides scheduled van service from all terminals to all area of Los Angeles. Use the courtesy phone in the baggage claim area to book your trip and Supershuttle will arrive within 15 minutes. Fare to downtown will be $12. Fares to other areas will be $10-$50, depending on the distance. Supershuttle runs 24 hours a day. Airport Bus has services to many areas of Los Angeles. If you are going to outlying areas such as Pasadena or Anaheim, Airport Coach is very convenient and you can call them when you arrive. They have regularly scheduled service to many areas, so you'll be able to book when you arrive. For example, they leave the airport for Pasadena every hour, at 45 minutes past the hour. The fare to Pasadena is $12 one-way and $20 round-trip. You can call them at 1-800-772-5299 for information and schedules to other areas. There are other van services to all areas of the Los Angeles. Inquire at the ground transportation desk, they will find the correct service for your destination. HOTEL SHUTTLE As with many U.S. cities, several hotels provide shuttle service to and from the airport. Check with your hotel when booking, or after you arrive. OTHER AIRPORTS Los Angeles is served by four other airports that many find more convenient than LAX. They are Burbank-Pasadena-Glendale, Ontario, Long Beach, and John Wayne (Orange County). All of these airports are served by either Airport Coach, or Supershuttle.
LAX Airport Hotels Sky Guides books all major hotels at LAX. Save up to 55% with our hot rates programs. Participating hotels also honor of mileage cards.
RENTAL CAR All the major car rental firms have counters at LAX. If you plan to travel outside the downtown area, a rental car is highly recommended.

I read ALOT of Novels... and the majority of them are romances of some sort... I like them to take me back in time to an era of elegant dresses, chaperones and Dukes found in back street 'gaming hells'. Maybe I'm an 'incurable romance' or living in an age when there are so many rules to break just seems like a little piece of heaven to the 'rebel' in me.
I have always loved reading and have spent many hours with my head in a book when I should have been doing something else - much to the annoyance of my parents. I have a total inability to hear anyone while I am reading and I have now developed an incapability to put the book down until I have read it from cover to cover. I will soon become annoyance to my husband.
However, at risk of becoming said annoyance, I am not about to stop reading (sorry Tom). I love it, even if I occasionally come out of a book wishing my life was a novel rather than the reality it is. Ok, I don't get kidnapped by a masked man and carried off in a carriage but I do have my own escapades.
Moving away, getting married and changing jobs all in one month was definitely an escapade.
In many respects I seem to tend to stick within a default position of reading the same genre and not exploring the bestsellers that are being published. Too many have passed me and my bubble by.
In 2015, I would like to break out of my mould in a few areas and reading matter seems the right place to begin...here is the beginnings of a list of books I want to read in 2015 outside of my default position:
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown
Taming Poison Dragons by Tim Murgatroyd
Birdsong by Sebastien Faulks
Storyteller by Jodi Picoult
The Girl You left Behind by Jojo Moyes
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Not That Kinda Girl by Lena Dunham
The Girl You left Behind by Jojo Moyes
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Not That Kinda Girl by Lena Dunham
What have you been reading lately? Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

Congress is often viewed as slow to adapt to change. However, its attitude is shifting when it comes to using social media to reach its constituents. The Congressional Management Foundation conducted a three-part survey of 260 congressional staffers from October through December 2010. This second of three reports specifically looks at attitudes about their offices' social media use. These results reveal general attitudes about social media's value and views along party lines about various forms of online communication.

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. … And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. … Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it."
(Genesis 1:1; 1:31; 2:15)
From its opening pages, the Bible enjoins stewardship of God's creation as fundamental to humankind's role as the pinnacle of God's creative activity. From tilling gardens to building cities, humans bear a unique responsibility as inheritors of creation to nurture, conserve, and develop God's gift for the common good of all creatures. Far from being a modern development, Christian environmental care is rooted in theology of creation. In the same way, the command to love one's neighbor requires attention to our world, its resources, and the ways in which we live together in it. Care for creation is a response to the conviction that the earth is the Lord's, and all creation is being reconciled to its Creator.
Taking as its theme "Stewardship of Creation," the 2018 Baylor Symposium on Faith and Culture will consider the opportunities and challenges for people of faith as they observe the divine mandate to care for creation. What resources does the Christian tradition offer regarding management of the environment and the wise use of natural resources? How do religious accounts of God, creation, justice, and human flourishing shape our embrace and use of technology that alters for good and ill our world and the lives of every creature in it? How might Christians work with others to reimagine the human relationship to the earth? Finally, what might faithful stewardship of creation look like in the coming decades?
Join us in exploring these questions and more during the 2018 Baylor Symposium on Faith and Culture, "Stewardship of Creation," on October 24–26.

About the Maker
I am from Southampton and have been making jewellery on a bespoke basis for many years. I studied Art and Design at Southampton University and Jewellery Design at Southampton City College. Loving photography I am often inspired by pictures to create designs for new projects, but I find inspiration almost everywhere for my work.
I have a passion for jewellery, and became interested in making it when I could not find designs that I wanted in the marketplace. This led to me creating pieces for myself, my family and some friends. This in turn led to others asking for specific designs to be made for them. So I created the bespoke service, to try to give everyone the chance to have quality handmade jewellery, made exactly the way they want it.

Acoustic VS Electric Guitar
Acoustic VS Electric Guitar?
Choosing Acoustic VS Electric Guitar. Eenie meenie mynie mo…Acoustic or Electric, which way should i go??? –By John Bunzli of My Local Music Lessons.
Hi Im John Bunzli, of My Local Music Lessons. I teach guitar, bass, and ukulele lessons in Fort Collins, Loveland, Longmont, Boulder, Lafayette, Louisville areas. We have several other guitar teachers in the Front Range area. You can see our all our instructors at our Instructor Page. I also perform locally and regionally as a solo singer songwriter and with several groups. This article is to help you get informed about which instrument suits you better, acoustic or electric guitar?
For a beginning player, what kind of guitar to purchase can be an important decision.
Of course for many of us, we don't choose our starter instrument. I started on an old cheap nylon string guitar that my sister had bought in Mexico. You may be lucky and inherit your Uncle's old Gibson Les Paul. However if and when you buy your first guitar one of the main choices to make is Acoustic or Electric. To be clear, an acoustic guitar is one which requires no amplification other than its own sound hole to be heard. An electric guitar requires an amplifier that plugs into a power source.
For some it will be an easy decision, if you are focused on only learning heavy metal, you probably should go with an electric, likewise if you want to study classical guitar, an acoustic nylon string guitar is the obvious choice.
But for those of us who just want to learn guitar and don't have a specific style in mind here are some of the factors to look at: portability, need for amplification, ease of play etc.
Here is a quick breakdown of some electric/acoustic pros and cons
Acoustic Guitar Pros:
–no electricity/amplification necessary
–goes anywhere parties/camping
–can play a wide style of songs
Acoustic Guitar Cons:
–can be harder to play than electric
–harder to bend strings
Electric Guitar Pros:
–easy on the fingers
–great for lead playing/bending strings
–good for playing in bands
Electric Guitar Cons:
–requires electricity/not as portable
–amps can be heavy
Of course either way is good and many guitar players end up playing both electric and acoustic But there are definite differences and playing techniques for each type of instrument. Another thing to keep in mind is that the cheapest instrument is not always going to be the one that suits your needs.
Where to Purchase:
Another thing to consider is, to purchase in a store, or to buy online. In my opinion, buying online can be risky, and is only a good choice if you have pre screened exactly what make and model you want. Ebay may have 30 day money back guarantee and if so that is a decent option. Even then it can be risky since there are subtle differences between guitars even of the exact same make and model. My recommendation is to play it in person.
We have several great stores locally. NOTE: these are listed in no particular order of preference, we are giving an unbiased report of local stores.
Local Stores:
Fort Collins Guitar Stores: Spotlight Music, Guitar Center, Boomer Music Co, Music Go Round, and several others.
Longmont Guitar Stores: Guitars Etc…, Larrys Guitar Shop, and Jensen Guitars among others…
Boulder Guitar Stores: Robbs Boulder Music, HB Woodsongs, and in Lafayette there is Guitar Hut, and in Louisville, there is Wildwood Guitars
Denver Guitar Stores: Denver has too many to list of course but a few to include would be Denver Folklore Center, Guitar Center, Colfax Guitar Shop, Victor Guitar, and several others.
In Conclusion:
Whatever kind of guitar you buy, make sure that someone you trust checks it out and ensures that it plays decently and stays in tune! Good luck and have fun!
If you want to get scheduled for guitar lessons, ukulele lessons or bass guitar lessons in Fort Collins, Loveland, Longmont, Boulder, Lafayette or Louisville areas, check out our full list of instructors or email our booking manager email@example.com

How much do genes control our lives? Are we mere puppets pulled by genetic strings?
This CICC event in February 2017 examined the evidence, drawing on the latest science to do so.
The picture that emerges is a very different one from that suggested by the media head-lines. Genetics undergirds free will, it does not subvert it. And modern science portrays a view of human identity that is remarkably consonant with the Christian understanding of what it means to be human.

The arrangement means that no APRIL UK private medical insurance policyholder will be left without an offer of continuing their cover at renewal.

Which customers will AXA PPP healthcare make this offer available to?
In simple terms, ALL existing APRIL UK private medical insurance policyholders will be offered a new policy, regardless of their claims history (including policyholders that are mid-claim). This includes direct and broker customers, both individual and SME. No customer will be rejected that is eligible for UK PMI cover, although naturally, premiums will vary depending on the circumstances of the individual customer.
Are any other APRIL UK customers affected?
No. The withdrawal of the insurer only affects APRIL UK's private medical insurance policies. No other APRIL UK plans are affected.

Seems like the whole world is pigging out. Bacon is a must-have on burgers. Sonoran hot dogs are such a hit that even The Mission is serving them. And snout-to-tail pig dinners are all the rage at places like Noca and Digestif.
Now there's even a new breakfast restaurant called Bacon, located in the space that used to house Cafe Blue in Scottsdale (4175 N. Goldwater). They couldn't pick a more of-the-moment name.

While Bacon doesn't have a website, one of my friends coincidentally just told me about this great website that will superimpose a giant piece of bacon over any website you visit. Just put http://bacolicio.us/ in front of any web address, and revel in bacony goodness.

text: We had a little fun on Friday with our last post about the Frank Collins. I think it's important not to always take life too seriously. If you or someone you know actually made that drink, I commend you for having an open mind and for trying new things. Leave a comment and I'll try to remind you next year what day it is. Switching gears a bit, I wanted to recommend a destination if you happen to take a trip to the Caribbean. One of the joys of traveling is the exploration of cuisine, and of course, the opportunity to try local cocktails. There are plenty of other reasons to visit unique destinations, and finding a good drink can't always be the focus. Sometimes local attractions such as clear blue water and white sandy beaches are reasons
