Home Remedy - Ginger Tea (黑糖薑茶)
Hubby's digestive process is a little "out of functioning". He has been complaining of bloated stomach and like it's gonna explode anytime! Since he refuse to visit a doctor (men hates visiting the clinic, don't they?), I shall give him home remedy - ginger tea.
Ginger tea is good for alleviating bloated stomach, upset stomach, aids digestion, reduce nausea, and common cold. It's also a soothing tea for cold days.

I spent New Year's Eve getting dinner with a small group of friends before heading off to a party with a different group of friends. Both groups were equally entertaining. The reason I bring this up is because, at dinner, the topic of movies came up, as it always inevitably does. Sooner or later the topic turned to my favorite subject, old horror movies. Nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing, that is, until the conversation steered towards the topic of the one, the only, the great Bruce Campbell.
A friend whom will remain anonymous for the sake of his dignity did not know who Bruce Campbell was. I was aghast, but started rattling off the usual:
"Oh, he was the star of the Evil Dead Trilogy"
"The what?"
Okay, so he'd never heard of the Evil Dead. No biggie. I pulled out the title he'd likely be more familiar with.
"He was in Army of Darkness."
The response: "Never heard of it."
Surely this was jest, but indeed it was not. Still I was not deterred, Army of Darkness wasn't all that popular after all, and I still had the big guns tucked away.
"Back in the early nineties he starred in a Fox series called Brisco County, Junior."
I smirked knowing this reference would recover some long lost memory.
"Sorry," came the reply.
I couldn't believe it. He hadn't ever heard of Brisco County, Junior? Okay, what about the ring announcer in Spider-Man? Nope. The rude usher in Spider-Man 2? Nada. Jack of all Trades? Zip. Hercules? No.
I couldn't for the life of me think of any movie of mainstream relevance that might ring the proper bells. And I was ashamed. Not so much for my friend, but more for myself. How could I not think of a role Bruce had played that would be recognized.
At the table we finally just kind of settled upon the fact that the age difference (5 years) was to blame for the discrepancy. 19 year olds just weren't raised on any of the shows mentioned above. This made me feel old, pathetic, and more than a little bit sad for the youth of America.
America, this is the face of greatness. This is Bruce Campbell. Love him.
P.S. In the end, I was finally able to fill in my friend about the identity of this mysterious man. He recognized Bruce from his recent stint as the Old Spice Commercial Spokesman. What is the world coming to? Do me a favor and go see My Name is Bruce when it comes out. America needs to remember.
His Name is Bruce

I notice you mention nothing about the other party you went to. Sure, we didn't mention Bruce Campbell, but there was plenty of entertaining conversation.
Besides, anyone who doesn't know Bruce Campbell should be keelhauled.

Don't get me wrong, both parties were great, but this was the most memorable moment. It probably has more to do with the fact that this made me feel incredibly old then anything else.

Well, we are incredibly old. We're approaching a quarter century on this planet. And look at the good you're doing with this fabulous blog.

He's not only 10 years older…he's ten years wiser!
It's been 10 years since my first book "The Emperor Has No Hard Hat – Achieving REAL Workplace Safety Results" was published. It's been quite a ride since the Globe and Mail was kind enough to recognize "The Emperor" by including my book on their Best Business Books of 2006 – Honourable Mention. I believe that's the ONLY time the Globe & Mail has EVER included a Safety Management focused book on their Best Books list.
Over the past 10 years I have focused my work, consultancy and articles on my safety system model that was describe in "The Emperor." My version of an "Integrated Safety Management System (ISMS)" has made some real changes to many companies and corporations and more importantly positively impacted how some people think and manage safety. Shifting the focus from preventing accidents to creating safety through measured activities gets improved results. Not only does this much more positive approach work; it feels better while we're doing it.
Introduction to The Emperor & ISMS
ISMS is a live system, It's not an audit, it's not a prescriptive standard, it is a way of approaching your efforts to truly manage the critical Whats and Hows of your business to achieve REAL results. It's really about how you run your business.
So it's time to re-invigorate the things "The Emperor" learned about those Hows and Whats of managing safety. How leaders and managers can take their "commitment" and turn it into action that gets REAL safety results.
I hope you enjoy the adventures of The Emperor and consider the path he took to achieving real results. I can assure you that pathway is still as valid today now as it was then. Probably more so since the experience of many more corporations has demonstrated that Creating Safety is much more efficient and effective than preventing accidents.

When I grow up I want to...
...be a herpetologist.
Hi Amanda!
I just read your letter to EEK! asking about good schools for herpetology, and I wanted to reply with some ideas for you. You said you are interested in schools not too far from home. (I'm assuming you live in Wisconsin?) As the EEK! staff mentioned in their response to you, some schools in Wisconsin offer a herpetology class, and you could build from there. I went to the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, and had a great professor named Dr. Michael Weil. He specializes in herpetology, especially snakes. His class was great. After taking his class, I went on to do several other things with him related to herps: I did work-study for him organizing his herpetology collection, plus two independent studies. One of my independent studies was conducting research on the age structure of American toad populations in a nearby pond, and the other was a trip to Arizona and New Mexico with him to collect animals for his teaching collection. With all of that, I felt like I got a pretty solid background in herpetology to build from. So, I'd give you the advice that if you find a school with even one herpetologist, you can talk with that professor about working on outside projects that can help you learn more and prepare you for a master's or doctorate program after your bachelor's degree.
Finally, if you're at all interested in moving a little farther away, a school that is excellent in the field of herpetology is the University of Georgia (UGA) in Athens, GA, where I went for my master's degree. The southeast has one of the highest diversities of amphibians and reptiles in the world, so you'll get to see all kinds of species that don't live in Wisconsin! The thing that makes UGA so great is that they're associated with a place called the Savannah River Ecology Lab (SREL), which is a huge preserve in South Carolina (about 3 hours from Athens) where they do all sorts of studies on herps. There are lots and lots of folks there who teach and study herpetology--far more than any other place I've ever heard about!

France slow to address roots of violent outburst / Some warn of more ethnic riots unless change comes soon
2006-01-12 04:00:00 PDT Aulnay-sous-Bois, France -- Two months after the worst riots in nearly 40 years swept across France, some charred vestiges are still visible in this working-class Paris suburb of mainly ethnic-immigrant residents -- for example, a burned-out car still sitting on the lot of the local Renault dealership.
Few other visible scars remain from the three weeks of firebomb attacks that destroyed nearly 10,000 vehicles and hundreds of schools, businesses and municipal buildings nationwide. On a recent afternoon in Aulnay-sous-Bois, one of the epicenters of the violence, children returned home from school while others played soccer near squat, look-alike apartment buildings -- some shedding paint, others flecked with graffiti.
"The youngsters aren't doing stupid things anymore," said Assa Diarra, a 45-year-old woman from Mali as she waited for a bus. But when asked whether anything else had improved, she said: "Not really."
Nearly 5,000 people, mostly youths of African and North African origin, were arrested for participating in the riots, which were widely regarded as an explosion of resentment against what young residents of the run-down suburbs known as banlieus saw as lives hemmed in by discrimination and hopelessness.
Roughly 400 people were jailed, and some first-generation immigrants now risk being deported to their parents' home countries.
After days of seeming paralysis, President Jacques Chirac responded with a mix of tough police response and a raft of promises to improve education, housing, job training, social services and hiring practices.
On Wednesday, Minister of Employment Jean-Louis Borloo introduced new legislation offering more educational and job opportunities for poor youths, as well as incentives for businesses to relocate to low-income areas.
Earlier this month, Chirac lifted an 8-week-old state of emergency -- more than 30 days ahead of schedule -- and called for state agencies to recruit more ethnic minorities for civil service jobs, and for France's top private higher-learning institutes (Grandes Ecoles) to increase student enrollment from poor neighborhoods. Chirac previously appealed to the media and private business to employ more minorities.
So far, most of the promises have failed to materialize. French-style affirmative action programs, for example, are deeply controversial in a nation that traditionally shuns identifying citizens based on religion, race or ethnicity.
Fadela Amara, a women's rights activist well-known in poor immigrant communities, says violence will surely return without tangible changes in the near future. "There are declarations, there are tiny measures, but that's been the case for the last 30 years," she said. "You can't leave people without hope."
Sitting in a friend's living room in Trois Mille, one of Aulnay's toughest neighborhoods, 30-year-old Aissa Diawara was more optimistic.
"It's true we've heard a lot of promises," said Diawara, head of a neighborhood association that helps immigrants find jobs and housing. "But now people are actually daring to talk about the seriousness of the problems, and asking real questions about how to change things."
Diawara, who along with a group of local activists met with French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin in November, said she believed the government would follow through on its promises, noting that her group was already earmarked to receive increased public funding this year.
Some prior pledges are already under way.
At Trois Mille, bulldozers razed a tattered high-rise, one of a dozen 1970s-era buildings scheduled for demolition. Part of a nationwide scheme crafted well before the riots, the urban renewal program aims to replace dilapidated buildings with smaller homes and playgrounds in hopes of attracting middle-class residents.
Critics denounce such initiatives as brick-and-mortar Band-Aids to cover over serious social ills. But Aulnay's Deputy Mayor Frank Cannarozzo has tough words for some of the communities' residents, even as he points to recent municipal programs that help youths find jobs and acquire job skills.
"These youngsters say there aren't enough structures to help them, but they've got to face reality," said Cannarozzo, a member of France's governing Union for a Popular Movement party. "They've burnt and destroyed some of those that existed. The riots sent a bad message."
Indeed, polls show the violence may have sparked a backlash among the broader French population. A survey in November indicated overwhelming support for a get-tough response against rioters. Another, published in December by the French daily Le Monde, found that one in six believes France has too many immigrants.
To be sure, the nation's economic doldrums aren't helping matters. Unemployment is nearly 10 percent and up to 40 percent among 15- to 24-year-olds in poor, predominantly black and Arab neighborhoods.
Alain Tribouillier, a manager at the hotel chain Novotel in Aulnay and head of the town's business association, said local firms were offering more internship and job opportunities to area youths. However, he added, Novotel and other firms can't always meet the mandatory 25 percent quota of local hires in exchange for special tax breaks for investing in poor areas. Currently, there are few job openings, Tribouillier says, and locals are often under-qualified.
Sitting on a motorcycle in Trois Mille, 25-year-old Mauritanian immigrant Mamadou Kamara describes yet another roadblock in his yearlong search for work. Last month, he finally landed an interview for a job as a sound technician.
"They saw Aulnay-sous-Bois on my CV (curriculum vitae), and they asked if I had participated in the riots," Kamara said. "I said no, of course. But I've heard nothing from them since."
"Unfortunately, the riots have helped stigmatize these youths even more," acknowledged Djamel Belarbi, associate director of a job-placement agency at Trois Mille. "They're now considered the ones who destroy and burn -- even though most of them didn't participate in the violence.
"But just because someone's called Muhammad isn't a formula for failure," he added. "It's also up to them to ... prove they're more than just an address -- or a name."

For starters, I sure as heck wore this vest to its greatest extent.
But that's the thing about this longline vest. It's versatile enough to wear in so many great ways, and those are the kind of items that you should invest in. No pun intended.
You've probably seen me wear white on white more often than not this summer.
Rest assured, it's my go-to summer combo. I toned it down with a blush crossbody bag and gold pieces.

How Can We Reduce Oil Consumption & Still Ship Goods and Ourselves Around the Globe?
Container ship photo: Daniel Ramirez; airliner photo: Bob MacInnes
Two things which I think are worth keeping front and center when discussing how we wean ourselves off our petroleum addiction: Travel between nations is good; trade between nations is good. It's easy to point out specific incidences where less-than-savory outcomes resulted from trade and travel, but on the whole both are beneficial for human culture. What we need to address is how are we going to move our goods and ourselves around in less energy intensive ways, so that both are less harmful to the planet (and therefore ourselves). When should be shipping things by ship; when should we be traveling by airplane; how should we be prioritizing these; and, would simply slowing down our travel and shipment of goods be a useful part of the solution?
There are two broad aspects of this that need to be considered. One is technological--what technologies offer solutions to long-distance intercontinental and transoceanic transportation in ways that don't use fossil fuels (or as many) and with low or no carbon emissions? Let's leave that to other posts in this Minus Oil series. What I'm most concerned at the moment is thinking conceptually about how to do this.
photo: Beatrice Murch via flickr
Modern Ships Are Really Efficient, But Still Highly Polluting
Moving either people or goods by ship is far more efficient on a per unit basis than sending the same things by plane or truck.
Bearing out this efficiency, using carbon emissions as proxy for fuel consumption, analysis of the carbon footprint of wine, sent by either ship, airplane, or truck, shows that a bottle of wine sent from Chile to Los Angeles by ship, a distance of about 5,500 miles, actually has lower embodied emissions than one produced a few hundred miles north in Napa or Sonoma and driven down by truck. The Chilean wine likely took more in days to arrive than what it took the Napa wine in hours, however.
That said, modern shipping is highly polluting enterprise--even if the slowness and efficiency still takes it ahead of other transportation methods. The fuel used is a far cry dirtier than the stuff that you pump into your car's gas tank. In fact commercial shipping as a whole produces an estimated 2.2 million pounds of particulate air pollution each year. That's equal to the particulate pollution of half of all the cars in the world. About 70% of it also occurs within 250 miles of coastlines, causing significant health problems.
From super-slow-steaming--resulting in cruising speeds for container ships lower than those of the fastest sail-powered merchant ships of the 19th century--to augmenting engines with kite sails, there are many novel ways to address both fuel consumption in pollution of modern shipping.
But if we are to really reduce our oil usage--either by choice or by necessity, let's not forget that even the IEA and the US military actively discuss peak oil supply constraints as being very real issues, not just something that survivalists and neo-luddite hippies are obsessed with--if we really want to make strides in cutting back on petroleum consumption, whether increased fuel efficiency and kite sails are enough to keep global shipping steaming along at current levels is an open-ended question.

Air Travel Consumes Lots of Fuel, Emits Tons of Greenhouse Gases
For most TreeHugger readers it's probably common knowledge that air travel and air shipment is hugely energy intensive and a big source of carbon emissions in their daily lives--even if in the scheme of all the world, global aviation is under 5% of greenhouse gas emissions, albeit a growing portion of those.
Again using emissions as proxy for fuel consumption and environmental impact, if you've adopted a vegetarian diet to lower your carbon footprint, those savings were just cancelled out by that flight to Europe you just took, or that cross-country flight. Which isn't to say going veg isn't a good thing, just that six hours sitting on an airplane had similar environmental impact to all your previous meat-eating.
It's also worth noting that while air travel consumes tons of fuel (literally), going from New York to Los Angeles by yourself in a car getting current average fuel efficiency (mid 20s mpg) doesn't have that much lower emissions--though in actual driving time it's about 48 hours for driving versus 6 for flying. Again, speed is directly related to fuel consumption.
As with shipping, there are plenty of technological ways to reduce oil consumption with aviation--from aviation biofuels, to more efficient plane designs and flying formations, even more niche use of blimps where speed isn't prioritized--but many of these are decades from widespread commercial implementation, and even then there's the very real chance that they will not be enough to keep global aviation aloft at current scale in a world with constrained and more expensive petroleum supplies.

If you have an ever-growing inventory of documents, outsourcing their storage and management will save your organization time and money. The single drawback is that the scope and quality of professional document storage varies from provider to provider. You shouldn't have to wait days to receive an important file from storage or risk having your confidential information lost or stolen. To prevent this from happening, ask your document storage provider these five crucial questions:
1. How Are My Documents Protected?
Business record theft is big business: stolen client files, patient data, and employee documents are bought and sold on the black market every day. When you outsource the storage of your documents, you entrust your document storage provider with the protection of your most confidential and sensitive information.
Asking how your documents are protected lets you assess the security of the facility where your information is stored, the chain of custody processes used when retrieving and delivering your records, and the quality of the staff managing your documents.
2. How Are My Documents Archived and Retrieved?
Outsourced document storage offers technology that keeps your records inventory organized so you can access your documents quickly. It's far more efficient than having to search through filing cabinets every time you need a document. Ask how your documents are archived and retrieved to verify that a barcode and inventory management system is used to track your inventory while it's stored.
3. Do I Have to Organize My Records Prior to Storing Them?
Packing and indexing is an important step in records storage and document management. If you have limited time and resources, you may need your document storage provider to organize and prepare your records for off-site storage. This question helps you determine whether your provider makes you do all the work or offers specialized records technicians to help with the packing and indexing of your documents.
4. What is Your Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plan?
When you store your documents off-site, you need uninterrupted access to them, even during a catastrophic event.

My Perfect Writing Fantasy!
Recently I was taking a woodland walk, while indulging in an unbelievable fantasy. It's the same fantasy I've had, with variations, since I was a little girl. I'm a children's book author who works at home while her wonderful husband is away at work and her wonderful child is off at school. So, what's my real life like? Well, I'm a children's book author. I work at home while my family is away at work or off at school and they are wonderful-most of the time. And yet my fantasy couldn't be further from reality. As I walked through the spring woods, I pondered why. To begin with, my children's author fantasy is set sometime in the 1940s. I write quietly at home; I don't have to market or promote my books. I've had the same editor for twenty years; she buys everything I write, and all my books stay in print forever. If I need a little extra money … Read on

|It's my brain...
Today I would give plenty to sit with them again at the round table in a corner of the dining hall. Just to hear the latest, come together for an hour then head out in the world again. We used to laugh so loud. That's what I miss, the stories and laughter.
When I went to see this neuropsychologist, I said 'they took a couple of MRIs and didn't see anything'. His response was 'Nothing? Are you sure?'
Well, just my brain which they called 'unremarkable'.
Normal MRI examination of brain without IV contrast. No evidence of intra or extra-axial hemorrhage, cerebral contusion, or other trauma related abnormality.No lesions. Unfortunately that doesn't mean I can multitask and remember stuff. It just means insurance companies can put me through hell.
Thinking of donating my brain to science so it can have adventures of its own without the rest of me.

Drones can swarm a military enemy, tour historical sites and even collect whale snot. Now, they are helping out cotton farms in a pilot program that is a new spin on crop dusting. Instead of chemicals, these drones drop hundreds of thousands of irradiated moths, Mary Beth Griggs reports for Popular Science.
Though seemingly bizarre, the USDA has strong motivation for the project: A plague of pink bollworms. Long considered an invasive species, these worms are a cotton field's worst enemy. They lay eggs on cotton bolls, and their babies eat both cotton seeds and fibers, ruining crops and destroying their long-term viability. Even worse, the pink bollworms are largely resistant to many toxins.

US court tosses law about false claims on medals
By Jesse J. Holland ,AP
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a federal law making it a crime to lie about receiving the Medal of Honor and other prized military awards, with justices branding the false claim "contemptible" but nonetheless protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. .
The court voted 6-3 in favor of Xavier Alvarez, a former local elected official in California who falsely said he was a decorated war veteran and had pleaded guilty to violating the 2006 law, known as the Stolen Valor Act. The law, enacted when the U.S. was at war in Afghanistan and Iraq, was aimed at people making phony claims of heroism in battle.
The ruling, written by Justice Anthony Kennedy, ordered that the conviction be thrown out.
"Though few might find respondent's statements anything but contemptible, his right to make those statements is protected by the Constitution's guarantee of freedom of speech and expression. The Stolen Valor Act infringes upon speech protected by the First Amendment," Kennedy said.
"We're obviously very pleased with the decision, as is our client," Alvarez's original federal public defender, Brianna Fuller, said in an e-mail. While we have utmost respect for our men and women in uniform, we've always believed that we honor them best by protecting the 'precepts of the Constitution for which they fought,' as Justice Kennedy said in this morning's opinion."
Thom Mrozek, spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Los Angeles, said he had no comment.
The high court has in recent years rejected limits on speech. The justices struck down a federal ban on videos showing graphic violence against animals and rejected a state law intended to keep violent video games away from children. The court also turned aside the attempt by the father of a dead Marine to sue fundamentalist church members who staged a mocking protest at his son's funeral. In 1989, the court said the Constitution protects the burning of the American flag.
Justices Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas dissented in the Alvarez case.
"These lies have no value in and of themselves, and proscribing them does not chill any valuable speech," Alito said. "By holding that the First Amendment nevertheless shields these lies, the court breaks sharply from a long line of cases recognizing that the right to free speech does not protect false statements that inflict real harm and serve no legitimate interest." The First Amendment of the Constitution includes the right to freedom of speech, among others.
The government had defended the law as necessary to punish impostors to protect the integrity of military medals.
But Justices Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan said in a separate opinion that there were ways for the government to stop liars "in less restrictive ways." One possibility would be to "insist upon a showing that the false statement caused a specific harm or at least was material, or focus its coverage on lies most likely to be harmful or on contexts where such lies are most likely to cause harm," Breyer said.

Yes, you can purchase Irresistible Insider reports without joining the program for $9 each. After the purchase you are given access to the reports you paid for.
However, you cannot get access to the forum without joining the program. We have to limit access to this forum because James and his coaches are actively working in there to help people.
So what is the best deal?
When you join the Irresistible Insiders program you gain instant access to all our Insiders reports (35+). Since these reports normally cost $9, this is over $545 in value.
You also get access to a forum with James and coaches. Normal one-on-one training with James can be over $400 / hour, but because of the online group setting and help from coaches, the forum is much more affordable at only $24.95 per month.
Because of these great values the Irresistible Insiders program is our best deal.

Originally created to replace PDFs, fixed layout has become one of the standard methods to build an ebook. This format is used for everything from textbooks to cookbooks, and while it hasn't actually supplanted PDF it has been made the centerpoint of Apple's ebook efforts (iBooks Author).
But even though fixed layout is widely used (or perhaps because of it), FXL has its detractors.
On Saturday Alberto Petterin posted a critique of fixed layout ebooks and asks whether FXL is accomplishing its original goals:
What are the advantages of a FXL eBook over the corresponding PDF?
The really interesting answer here is that (EPUB) FXL, being built with Web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), allows the author/publisher to semantically tag the contents, which in turn allows the user to personalize the "reading" experience according to her needs.
That is true, in theory.
In fact, almost all the FXL files currently on the market are not really fulfilling that vision. Even worse, they are limiting the user freedom, rather than augmenting it. Sometimes they are even inferior to their PDF version.
Pettarin goes on to detail two of the problems with FXL, including that it's used in situations where it's not necessary and that the code inside most fixed layout Epub files look like it was written by a middle-school student.
He missed a couple of FXL's shortcomings, namely that the major platforms have made poor decisions in developing support.
For example, Amazon's fixed layout can't be used in the same ebook as embedded audio and video. Also, Apple's iBooks format can't be read on the iPhone, meaning that all those pretty textbooks don't even work across Apple's entire platform.
All in all, his critique is a good read, and it's worth your time.
But before you head over and read it, I have one last thought.
As I was reading his post earlier, it struck me as rather odd that digital publishing was using the latest web technologies to support a concept which most web developers no longer accept as valid.
At one point the standard for website design was to build websites with fixed width (this is similar in concept to FXL ebooks). But that started going away about 4 years ago as the idea of responsive design, or building websites that work with any screen size, became the standard.
It's now 2015, and almost no web developer will make a fixed width website if they can avoid it (I have no explanation for why DBW chose to do so). The new standard is for websites to support visitors no matter the size of the screen they use.
And yet in 2015, FXL ebooks are one of the accepted ways to make an ebook.
Folks, it's almost as if the digital publishing industry is fifteen years behind the cutting edge of web design. It's gone from simple reflowable designs (circa 1995) to fixed width designs (circa 2000).
Don't you think it would be a good idea for the industry to skip the subsequent 15 years and join the rest of us in 2015?
There's some really interesting ideas floating around right now which would make nifty ebooks, including smart ways to reflow complex content based on the geometry of a device's screen. (Plus, we have cookies).
Really, what's holding you to fixed layout? Is it the similarity to print?
That strikes me as a poor justification, resulting more from a lack of vision than from any useful features which fixed layout may bring to the table.

To a designer, this is totally understandable. Facebook needed this button to be PERFECT! SIMPLE! And a designer's keyboard doesn't have a PERFECT GRAPHIC key on it. I wish it did. This button needed to get people to see it, click on it, get used to it, "like it", make it easy to find, and on and on... you have used it, you know, you liked. If the button had been too small, too complicated, the wrong kind of graphic, people might not have been as apt to click on it as they have been. So hours and hours of changes and focus groups were spent to get it just right.
In an age when everyone has access to graphics and computers, it is tempting to do the graphics yourself, or to think that your secretary, or worse, your kid, may be able to just put it together. Who cares, right? It is just a letter, or a flyer, or a business card. But, branding doesn't work that way. Sure, it will get the point across, but, what point? What will your clients think of your business? What is the image you are portraying? Will they get the feeling that you are a reputable business, or just a fly by night? Which one is more beneficial to your company?
These are questions you must ask every time anyone in your company sends something out into the world. I have worked for companies who took this to a religion. If you were using their logo on anything, you needed to consult their Branding Style Guide. Some of these were massive. You had to follow the rules to a T. The sum of all your corporate ID = the image you portray to the public. Simple, right? But, It takes discipline and a consistent attention to detail to make sure that everything has the company branding style: logo, tag line, colors, and that the message is consistent with the company mission, and it all has a simplicity and freshness as if there was no effort to create it all.
And yet, it is that simplicity that is so elusive. It takes years of training to be able to achieve it. Paula Scher, the renown graphic designer/painter, designed the Citi Bank logo in just a few minutes on a napkin during a meeting with the client. When asked by the client how could this be a great logo if it only took a few minutes, she replied "It took me a few seconds to draw it, but it took me 34 years to learn how to draw it in a few seconds."
Hiring a designer
Hiring a graphic designer is a process like finding the perfect running shoes. You will have to try a few on until you find the perfect fit. If you are lucky, this will be an easy process. But, you will only get out of this process what you put into it. The shoes won't make you run farther or win the race. They will only give give you the confidence to reach the goal line. Your goal is not to find a graphic designer to do one project, but partnering with him/her to craft and nurture your branding. A graphic designer that understands your brand and protects the integrity of this branding as it is used in all media. It should all have a focused, cohesive message. SIMPLE.! Appreciating the exciting, and sometimes frustrating process of design will help you in having better communication with your designer. A designer's job is to translate your ideas into cohesive designs. The better the communication the better the output.
Mike's article included a few good tips to help the client have better communication with their graphic designer and I pass them on to you:
- Remember that your designer is your creative partner. This relationship is effective only if you are honest and open about your needs and vision.
- Be clear about your ideas and goals, and include as much information as possible. A client's input on their brand's perception helps designers better portray their culture and ambitions.
- Knowing what you like and don't like gives designers a better sense of what you are looking for. Be prepared to show work that you feel strongly about: the good, the bad and the not-so-great.
- Stay positive. Don't be discouraged if the first draft is not exactly what you'd had in mind. Luckily, it's just that – a first draft. Remember how long that tiny little Facebook Like button took to create?
- Spend time reviewing the design you've been given from your agency or designer. There's a methodology and purpose behind everything that's done, and good design will communicate and support this through its aesthetic and attention to detail.
- When providing direction and giving feedback, be as thorough as possible. Think about color, logo placement, basic layout, page count, document size, use of infographics, and messaging that you will be trying to communicate.
- Always ask questions. Again, design decisions are extremely nuanced. If we can help you understand our thought process, you'll not only be more informed, but you will also have high-level feedback that will be useful across the entire project.
- Anything worth doing is worth doing right. Don't settle when it comes to design; respectfully communicate your ideas and needs until it's perfect.

"PetStore.com will include pre-paid Cell Phones for Soldiers envelopes inside the packages we ship to pet owners during the month of October," said Ben Ros, Director of Operations for PetStore.com.
Garden Grove, CA (PRWEB) September 26, 2012
Online pet supply store PetStore.com and non-profit Cell Phones for Soldiers Inc. are asking pet owners to help troops call home by donating gently-used cellular phones. Although the military landscape is ever changing, as many as 290,000 troops are serving in the U.S. military overseas around the world. By donating to Cell Phones for Soldiers, pet owners can provide troops with that precious connection to loved ones back home.
"The iPhone 5 was released just five days ago, so there are a ton of people looking to upgrade to a new mobile phone," said Ben Ros, Director of Operations for PetStore.com. "PetStore.com will include pre-paid Cell Phones for Soldiers envelopes inside the packages we ship to pet owners during the month of October. We hope folks will seize this opportunity to help our soldiers abroad stay in touch with their families, pets included."
Cell Phones for Soldiers was founded by teenagers Robbie and Brittany Bergquist at the ages of 12 and 13. The charity has since provided more than 168 million minutes of free talk time to servicemen and women stationed around the world. Funds raised from the recycling of cellular phones are used to purchase prepaid international calling cards. On average, Cell Phones for Soldiers distributes 12,000 calling cards each week to bases around the world, care package programs, deployment ceremonies and VA hospitals.
"The Military Benefits Deployment Center lists staying in touch with loved ones as a top-five 'How to Survive Deployment' strategy," said Ros. "There are only so many videos you can watch online of soldiers reuniting with their families and pets after tours of duty before you feel compelled to do something for these brave volunteers."
Some quick facts about the Cell Phones for Soldiers program:
– In 2011, Cell Phones for Soldiers shared 690,000 communication tools with military families, providing more than 41 million minutes of talk time.
– The program collected and recycled 1.5 million phones in 2011.
– Since 2004, more than 10.5 million cell phones have been recycled, reducing the impact on landfills.
– A $5 donation warrants 2.5 hours of talk time; a $100.00 donation gives 50 hours or 3,000 minutes of talk time
– There are approximately 15,000 collection points across the nation, including PetStore.com headquarters in Garden Grove, CA.
– In 2012, Cell Phones for Soldiers launched their newest program, Helping Heroes Home. Helping Heroes Home provides emergency funds for returning veterans to alleviate communication challenges as well as physical, emotional and assimilation hardships
"Each year we have been humbled by the amount of people and organizations like PetStore.com that take the initiative to support our troops," said co-founder Brittany Bergquist. "We want to continue to mend the communication gap between our armed forces and their loved ones as troops continue to serve our county."
Donated phones are sent to Michigan-based ReCellular for recycling. For every donated phone valued at $5, Cell Phones for Soldiers is able to provide two and a half hours of free talk time to deployed troops.
Approximately half of the phones ReCellular processes are reconditioned and reused. Phones and components that cannot be refurbished are dismantled and responsibly recycled to reclaim materials, including:
– Gold, silver and platinum from circuit boards
– Copper wiring from phone chargers
– Nickel, iron, cadmium and lead from battery packs
– Plastic from phone cases and accessories
"The United States Military will always play an important role in peacekeeping missions worldwide," said co-founder Robbie Bergquist. Therefore connecting our troops with their loved ones is the least that we can do for their daily sacrifices for us."

In addition, concerts both evenings are open to the general public.We believe that hammered dulcimers and mountain dulcimers are among the world's most wonderful musical instruments. They're fun to play, and fun to listen to. They belong in both folk music and popular music. Our mission is to bring dulcimers and dulcimer music into public awareness.
In addition to teaching, Rob Brereton and Thomasina Levy will perform Friday 10/19/18 at 7:30. Call for tickets and directions in.

Dulcimer U continues its long-standing tradition of giving students the absolute best educational experience available for the mountain dulcimer. Unlike many festivals around the country, Dulcimer U is not about the performers, it's about you….the student.
Through our expanding offerings, we will provide only a first class instructional staff, many of which have earned advanced degrees in their various educational fields. Their experience as both classroom instructors as well as nationally sought after performers make them the very best at what they do.
Skill building will continue to be at the core of our programs, but we'll also be focusing on music theory, techniques, history and even technology applications for the dulcimer. Universities are known for advancing the body of knowledge in a particular field, so we'll also be focusing on innovation and what the future holds for this versatile instrument.
See website for complete list of 15 instructors and performers.

Westport, CT 06880
United States
WHS will celebrate the fourth anniversary of its Coffee Houses at the Wheeler's with an evening of music from the American Songbook, plus folk, country and Joni Mitchell songs, all performed by singer-songwriter Suzanne Sheridan of Westport and dulcimer player Robert Brereton of Sherman, Conn.
The evening is being called "Someone to Watch Over Me," the George Gershwin classic that is also the title of Brereton's 1992 album of instrumentals featuring Renaissance dance music, Scottish folk and American jazz. It is also a special occasion for Sheridan, as it comes one day before the anniversary of her marriage to long-time partner Rosanne Gates and two days before her birthday.
"I began as a singer with a guitar," says Sheridan, "and I'm coming back to my roots, what I care about most – a quieter, more folkie approach to music. The dulcimer," she adds, "puts out a soft sound and is perfect for the occasion."
Brereton, who has degrees in classical guitar, music composition and music education, is considered one of the pioneers on the contemporary mountain dulcimer, an instrument that long was associated only with the simple, plaintive music of the Southern Appalachians. Early in his career, however, Brereton worked in a folk instruments store where he learned to modify the tunings of the dulcimer so it could be used to play the more complex melodies of music from the American songbook.
The playlist for the upcoming Coffee House, Sheridan says, will include the Scottish folk song "The Water Is Wide"; Gordon Lightfoot's "In the Early Morning Rain"; "Carey Get Out Your Cane" by Jonie Mitchell; the country song "There Ain't No Ash Will Burn"; the American hymn "How Can I Keep From Singing"; "More Love" by the Dixie Chicks; "Moonglow," "Blue Skies" and "Someone To Watch Over Me."
Sheridan began her music career singing jingles and moved on to writing her own songs and performing locally and throughout New England and Eastern Canada. She has a repertoire of songs by Mitchell and Leonard Cohen that she performs on tour. The Coffee Houses model a tradition of kitchen singing that she observed in Canada, where multi-generations of family and friends would sit around eating, drinking and playing music. The instrumentation is simple, Sheridan says, "so the sound doesn't overpower the songs, perfect for the Historical Society."
The Coffee Houses all take place in the Society's Betty and Ralph Sheffer Gallery, a space about the size of a small country road house.
The mountain dulcimer is a purely American creation, the first ones being crafted by the Scottish and English immigrants who settled in the Appalachians. Music historians say these early arrivals lacked the tools and time to make violins, so they invented a new type of dulcimer using wood from the mountains where they lived. Researchers add that while the mountain dulcimer is related to European instruments of the zither family, it has no antecedents in Scotland or England. The name derives from old English, French and Italian words meaning "sweet."
Brereton performs occasionally in Connecticut and nearby states. His most recent appearance was at the Merryall Center in New Milford. Next year, on Sept. 27, he will play "Melodies and Musings: Our Appalachian Legacy," in Guntersville, Ala. Brereton also teaches K-6 music, works with private students and composes, arranges and directs for several choirs near his home. You can learn more about him on his website, www.robertbrereton.com.
When the first Coffee House was launched back in 2012, Sue Gold, the WHS's executive director, described the goal as "enriching the community and creating an opportunity for Westporters to gather together." The events take their name from Wheeler House, the historic house that serves as home to the Society.

Thomasina Levy and I have been performing together for decades. We finally have a name for our duo: Route 202. We usually rehearse at Thomasina's house and I've spent many hours on Route 202 driving to her house for our time together.
Eclectic and fun-loving' are the best words to describe the acoustic duo Route 202 which is comprised of Thomasina Levy and Robert Brereton, two award-winning musicians who have a taste for diverse styles of music. Just as Route 202 meanders through rural areas, suburbs and cities in New England, their music saunters through musical landscapes that range from folk to swing to new age to classical.

What comes to mind when you think of the average van? Chances are you imagine a mundane box on four wheels with just enough space to squeeze in a dozen or so passengers. As far as engine power goes, just know that you'll get to your destination eventually. Amenities? As long as you fit in your seat, who needs them?
Then there are the luxury vans. The kind that you see celebrities riding in on their social media photos, as well as big-time executives who need to work and be comfortable while on the move. These vans are designed with the word "premium" in mind. Want to know why they're thought of (and priced) that way? Here are a few reasons:
1) It's a space odyssey. Forget about fighting for seat space with fellow passengers on a long road trip. While luxury vans can also fit a lot of people, they do so in a way that ensures everyone is comfortable for the long haul. Think plush simulated leather seats, driver's seat arm rests, power windows, and ample leg and head room.
2) Comfort is at a premium. Aside from the seats, the emphasis on comfort is also evident in the various features you'll find within the van. Things like a front bumper step board, smartphone connectivity, remote central locking, and various storage options will make you wonder how you ever lived without them in the first place.
3) Safety is emphasized, too. Along with comfort, luxury vans offer you the very best in safety technology. On top of their solid engineering and construction, they also have numerous airbags installed, many warning systems in place, and electronic driving aids to keep you safe on the road. Some will even warn you when your brake pads need replacing. How's that for being safe?
4) Power to boot. In the past, perhaps you simply had to make do with whatever power your van could offer. Not so in a luxury-spec model. Many luxury vans are fitted with direct-injection diesel engines that will not only get you to your destination with time to spare, but they'll also save you fuel money.
5) Bespoke options. Like a well-fitted suit, a vehicle can be customized to suit the owner's unique wants and needs. A spacious luxury van is the perfect canvas on which to unleash your vehicular creativity. You can turn it into an office or home for the road, or as a place of business that you can take with you wherever. It's like a real-life version of a car customization reality show.
Luxury vans, like the Hyundai H350, are the vehicle of choice for accomplished individuals, like the aforementioned celebrities and business executives. They're ideal for premium individuals and families big and small who want a luxurious and comfy ride for getting around town and beyond. The Hyundai H350 takes pride in its highly customizable and spacious interior—with cabin standing height of 6'3"—ideal for entrepreneurs who are always on the go, and artistas who are in need of home on the road. And with its 2.5-liter diesel engine, going to places can be done in sure comfort.
To know more about the Hyundai H350, visit a Hyundai dealership today or see details on their website and Facebook page.
