My extended family of 11 spent MLK weekend at Stowe 40 and we had a wonderful time! The house is ideal and fashionably decorated with all the amenities & space you need; large kitchen table, multiple couches to watch TV or play games, wood burning fireplace, game room & hot tub. The bathroom & bedrooms/beds were a perfect fit our adults/kids ratio and everyone felt very comfortable. The property location is ideal: between 10-15 minutes to either ski resort and shops/restaurants. An added bonus is the Alchemist Brewery right around the corner!!
Owners Chris & Helen were great to deal with...we hope to return again soon. This is a great home...don't miss out on a fantastic property!
- Kali - January, 2018
Wonderful house, beautiful neighborhood. Close to Mountain and village of Stowe. Enjoyed the walking path everyday.
- Sheri - January, 2018
We love Stowe 40 for Canadian Thanksgiving. Accommodation perfect and lots of activities for every age group. Stowe 40 is a yearly tradition for us.
- Anonymous - October, 2017
Our family of twelve stayed at Stowe 40 for a weekend anniversary celebration. The house is roomy; everyone fit perfectly. The grandboys enjoyed their trips to the ponds searching for frogs and turtles and swimming in the community pool. The rest of us enjoyed quiet time on the deck, listening to music via the Sonos system, running/walking on the adjacent Stowe Bike Path, hiking with the children to Sterling Pond, standing in line at the Alchemist for the freshly brewed craft beer, good food brought in one night from The Kitchen, watching the Red Sox-Yankee games late into the night - a restful happy time.
Helen, the owner, was very attentive and answered several questions via email before our stay. She was able to accomodate our late checkout request on Sunday which made life so much less hectic than it might have been.
We now wish that we had rented Stowe 40 for a longer period of time. Maybe another year!
- Ann - August, 2017
Great house, great location...perfect weather. The home is very comfortable and is ideally located, not far from the center of Stowe and a stone's throw from good restaurants and the Alchemist.
- Gerry - August, 2017
Stowe 40 was perfect for our family gathering. The house is very well maintained and well-equipped for both adults and children and has great amenities like the hot tub, large table for family meals and bunk rooms for kids. Additionally, the Stonybrook development's swimming pool and easy access to the Stowe Recreation Path made the location ideal for doing activities with the little ones. We're looking forward to another family get-together at Stowe 40 next year!
- Wendy - August, 2017
Great location, great house, everything you need as a base for a family get together! We were initially disappointed at arrival (cleaning company snaffu), but Chris/Helen responded and the trip was fantasic! House was perfect layout for a family get together. Location to downtown and stowe trails/waterfalls makes for short travels. We are looking forward to doing another trip next year!
- Brian - July, 2017
We had a fantastic time! The home perfectly fit our needs in all aspects. It was comfortable, clean, and the location was excellent. The weekend couldn't have gone better, renting this beautiful home was a very smooth and easy process. We would do it again in a second!
- Jonathan - July, 2017
This was a great house for a large group. Well stocked and plenty of space if you wanted privacy. The location was also ideal. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area. Any issues were addressed promptly by the owners as well.
- Christina - June, 2017
We stayed at Stowe40 in early March and it was an amazing experience! We had a large group (2 families and close family friends) and there was plenty of room. There was not much snow on the mountain and we spent A LOT of time in the house. The house was perfect for this: tons of room, lots of toys, and plenty to do for the kids. There was space for the adults to hang out, tons of toys for the kids to play with, extra rooms for some of us to get work done in, and the hot tub was great. The house was really well equipped for everything and more (had bed rails for kids, tons of kitchen stuff, toys, games, TVs, and even a crib). Also, there was clearly a lot of attention given to decoration, which made the house feel warm, but not cluttered. Chris and Helen were also fantastic hosts as they provided all of the necessary information about the house well ahead of time, checked in with us during the stay to make sure all was good, and asked for feedback after. They clearly care and it shows. Thank you :)
- Eugene - February, 2017
Easy to find, prominent spot within the complex with great amenities. The large table adjacent to the kitchen was a favorite spot, as was the outdoor hot tub. A two-car garage was a great added benefit. (There's nothing like getting into a clear car after a snowfall.) Sleeping accommodations were very comfortable and all the way down to the towels, it was a super visit. I highly recommend it.
- Family R – January, 2017
This is a great property for a large group. It has lots of space for 10+ but still feels cozy. The house is very well maintained and equipped with kitchen supplies, towels, pillows, blankets,etc. The owner was wonderful to deal with, responding quickly to a couple of special requests. Location was quiet yet still super convenient to everything at Stowe. We will be returning!
- Kris – November, 2016
We couldn't have found a better place for our reunion. The house was as lovely as the photos, hot tub was ready and waiting, and the beds cozy and comfy. Perfect for a group of 12. Lot's to see and do in the area, and a great walking path nearby. The owners were responsive and easy to coordinate with. The house was immaculate. I'd stay there again without hesitation.
- Linda – October, 2016
This home was a perfect spot for our family to enjoy Stowe during such a beautiful season! The home was just as described! Everything we needed for our large family was provided. We normally stay at Trapp but staying in this home we were able to all stay together. So much fun! The location is unbelievable! We walked to bike path ,farmers market, Great restaurants, mini golf, bowling ,shopping, new brewery . We loved everything about this beautiful home! Thank you so much Helen and Chris!
- Colleen – September, 2016
This past summer (August 2016) our family (5 adults & 3 children, ages 13, 10 & 7) spent a week at Stowe 40. We try to spend a week together every year and have all enjoyed times spent at other vacation homes located near the ocean or a lake but this vacation destination has made it to the top of our list for future trips. The house itself is spacious and conducive to spending time together or having private moments. The kitchen provided all the conveniences of home and we loved the dining room table which afforded the space for all of us to comfortably sit down and enjoy our meals. The location of the home was excellent with its close proximity to the mountain and reservoir and the convenience of being able to just walk to the swimming pool as well as hiking and biking trails. Restaurants are nearby and we even walked to dinner the last night of our vacation. Simply put, Stowe 40 is a top contender for a week away from home!
- James – August, 2016
House is spacious and well appointed. Bedrooms can accommodate many guests and offer much privacy. Kitchen has everything you need and rest of house is also well equips for your needs (internet, TV, hot tub, fireplace). Yard is great for kids to play outside and proximity to mountain, restaurants and shops is ideal.
- Danielle – March, 2016
Thank you for sharing your lovely home - it was beautiful and perfect for our group. The location is great for both skiers and shoppers, and the kitchen super- equipped for everything. The living room set up allowed for multiple conversations and a nice fireplace setting and we all fit well (and fell in love with) the beautiful farm dinner table and chairs. The hot tub group was happy as well; could not have better unless we had gotten 12 inches of new snow. The interior was out of Fixer Uppers and all very clean.
- Rachel – March, 2016
We stayed at this house for a ski weekend. What a wonderful place! The house was very well maintained and outfitted . Really nice kitchen, furnishings, hot tub, etc. Rooms were spacious with very comfortable linens, towels, etc. Very close to mountain road and less than 10 min to the mountain. Perfect for families and/or large groups. Owners were great to work with.
- Tom – February, 2016
Our family just had the most wonderful weekend in Stowe, largely due to the Stowe 40 property. Don't be fooled by the outside of the property. The inside is warm, cozy, welcoming and so comfortable. It's a perfect location -- between town and skiing. The rooms are well appointed and include everything you might need to enjoy your time away from home. The kitchen is well stocked with high quality essentials (pans, plates/bowls, glassware.) My three children loved the property and asked us when we could return! There were great trails for dog walking and cross country skiing. (I would imagine this is beautiful in the summer as well.) Everything was great. We'll be back. Thanks!
- Stephanie – February, 2016
The property was exactly as advertised and better, it fit our families needs and we could not have been happier. The property was spotless and had all the amenities that we we wanted. The community of Stowe is friendly and welcoming, the availability of activities seem almost endless. We will be encouraging anyone who is interested to consider this property in this community.
Tim - April, 2015
We came to Stowe 40 with two families: 4 adults and 3 children in total, for a skiing vacation. It was fabulous. The house couldn't have been better for us. In truth, we had far more space than we needed (another family could have joined us), but we were so comfortable and happy. The children, in particular, loved the jacuzzi after skiing and hanging out in the game room. We cooked breakfast and dinner at the house daily and found the kitchen perfectly well-equipped for all of our needs. We are a foodie family so our standards are generally high! The grill was a definite plus. We also brought our dog who loved taking long walks on the property. We were all surprised at how much we loved the house because we are generally tough customers who notice everything! But, it didn't disappoint and we would definitely want to return.

With 12 family members, we were very comfortable. The layout of the house allowed us to enjoy everything we did: meals and games around the large table, hanging out in the open living room/family room space, and relaxing in the hot tub. We were especially happy about the first floor master and second bedrooms. The older members were able to get away if we felt the need!!
Margaret - December, 2014
Just returned from an amazing Thanksgiving break at Stowe 40. Everything was just as advertised or even better !! We had a group of 12 adults with plenty of space. The house has a great open plan flow which for a group. The house has everything you could want, I've never rented a house with a kitchen so well equipped.Owners could not be more helpful or responsive. A perfect Stowe retreat. Can't wait to go back.
Anonymous - December, 2014
House is immaculate and private with large lot and great hot tub which we used every day. Amenities are comprehensive and of high quality. The layout is wonderful and perfect for a big group; it has an open floor plan, big dining table, lots of room to spread out, and essentially 3 separate bedroom "areas" for different family groupings among the 5-6 bedrooms and 3 and 1/2 baths. We we had 2 grandparents, 4 adults and 4 kids stay for the week and there was plenty of space. The little kids were over the moon by all the nice toys and books, the bunk beds and the hot tub!
The location of the house is perfect, too; very close to some of our favorite bars and restaurants in Stowe, right off the amazing recreational bike path, and a short drive to the mountain. We were blown away by the beauty and upkeep of Stowe and the rec path. We were also charmed by the friendly people, delicious food and family-friendly vibe at many bars and restaurants. Our vacation at 40Stowe goes down as one of the best we will surely ever have! Thank you to the owners and rental company for such care and attentiveness and for helping my family make such beautiful memories!!!
KattyCraigHudson - August, 2014
The house was quite comfortable and met all of our needs. There were a lot of us, including several young children, and everyone felt right at home with a lot of space and comforts. The house was clean, well stocked (in kitchen, for young and older children, pool and spa towels, and much more), and spacious. We had an excellent experience!
Anonymous - June, 2014
I can't say enough about this beautiful home. I rented this house over MLK weekend with my two sisters, husbands and their children. The layout of the home is perfect for everyone to have their own "space" while still enjoying the home as a family. The house was immaculate, filled with "extras" (toys for the kids, cozy blankets, every dish or kitchen supply you could think of, even garbage bags, soap and towels are all included for your use). The check in/out process was as simple as could be, Helen, the owner, was available also if you needed. Although the home is set in a condo-type community, it is actually a free standing home with a big driveway, garage and even front/back yard. It's private and beautiful. It's a quick drive to town and the mountain. Don't hesitate to rent this home. I actually think the pictures (though great) don't even do it justice. We hope to rent again in the future.

Great house, tons of room for adults and kids! Also in a great location only minutes from the mountain! Would definitely recommend this property to a family looking to get away for a lovely ski weekend!
Heather m. - February, 2014
These are the types of reviews I hate to write, cause it's gonna make you want to rent it. That means I have to compete with you next year!
I've been renting houses near Stowe for five years now, and I've stayed in 5-6 different homes that are 4+ bedrooms. This is my favorite one yet. Here's why:
- Tons of room: My group is somewhat private. We enjoy our hang-out time, but we also like to retire to our rooms. These rooms are far enough away from the common areas and separated by walls. That means you don't spend a crappy day on the slopes because you couldn't sleep!
- Big kitchen: We always cook massive meals, and cooking for 10+ people is no small feat.
- Hot tub: Come on. You know you also filter search results by hot tub. It does a good job of staying at temperature. Watch the door handle on the way in. Your fingers will freeze to it.
- TV: Someone had a brilliant idea of putting the TV where you can see it from the tub. Clutch for the Olympics.
- Owner: Who doesn't love a responsive owner (and management company) when you're throwing around thousands of dollars. Helen is the bomb.
- Working fireplaces
- Location. Takes me about 10-15 minutes to drive to Stowe Resort. About 5 minutes to get to Stowe for groceries and gas.
I think I finally found a house I can rent year after year. I'll fight you for it.
Blair H. - February, 2014
The place was spotless and fully equipped. Very comfy and warm and really enjoyed the hot tub after a day of skiing. We cannot find anything to complain about. Cannot wait to return.
Elizabeth H. - January, 2014
Great place! We had 2 families with adult children share the house (9 people in all). It was a perfect place to gather. The house was equipped perfectly from the wonderful furnishings to plush towels to pots and pans. Quality throughout. Will definitely stay again if we have a group. Only problem was terrible weather...but we made the most of it having somewhere to "hang".

We spend every Christmas in Stowe. Each year we look for the perfect venue for our Christmas holiday. This includes a family of (10) mom and dad, four adult daughters, two with husbands and one child each (2 and 4). This beautifully decorated and well-equipped townhome met all our expectations. Great family gathering spaces, wonderful bedrooms, and a kitchen that had virtually any utensil one could need to do most of our cooking at home -- including one birthday and one Christmas celebration. The location is great -- near the restaurants, the Trapp Family Lodge and midway up the mountain. We loved every minute of our experience and would definitely book here again.
- Pamela & John - December, 2013
I wanted to thank you for such a wonderful stay at Stowe-40 over Thanksgiving. My mother-in-law was the one that rented the property and it was absolutely perfect. The house was brilliantly decorated, the 4 bathrooms made showering and getting ready easy for everyone, and the wood fire kept everybody warm and cozy the entire time. Thank you again for such an amazing trip. In the 13 years I have been married to my husband, this is the first time we have ever gone away with his extended family. It was so much fun spending the whole week together and getting time to really connect. I am very grateful:) Also, the chips/salsa/wine that were left for us combined with the hot tub made the trip extra special!!

No More Dark Circles
"Bag lady you gone hurt your back
Dragging all them bags like that".
Curses! So you spent a little too much time in front of your machine at work or you didn't sleep nearly as much as you should've last night binge watching the new Star Trek. 🖖🏽Whatever the reason, you've woken up with dark circles so pronounced it looks like you're still have zombie make up on from Halloween. 💀👻 Usually, a good nights rest helps banishes them back to the dark hole they came from, but what happens when some good old shut eye doesn't do the job? 🙀😳
We've tested a few miracle products that turn back the hand of time...or Netflix, with one simple squeeze, dab and rub-in. Here are some of our tried and tested solves. Because we got you 😉, we have a reviewed a range of products that will fit every wallet. Time to throw those bags away ladies!
Dermalogica Age Reversal Eye Cream.
A miracle in a tube! This product reduces fine lines and wrinkles around the eye area, moisturizes skin, brightens dark circles, and alleviates puffiness. It's light to the touch and has a nice neutral smell.
"Vitamin A and Niaciamide are basically a push up bra for your eyes."
This product contains half of the top listed chemicals needed to protect your skin from anti-aging. It's packed with all the good stuff, retinol, a form of Vitamin A and Niaciamide, a form of Vitamin B. Both are super potent ingredients that minimize of lines and wrinkles...basically they're a push up bra for your eyes. Niaciamide especially helps plump up your skin like a ripe peach 🍑 and reduces those solar eclipse like dark circles.
This doesn't come cheap but it certainly does the job and all you need is just a tiny bit. I used this for a week. Admittedly I didn't notice anything until I didn't seem to need to use concealer anymore. My under eye bags are still there, but the puffiness has gone down significantly. Indications in packaging say to keep using the product for two weeks until a visible change is noticeable.
Definitely packs a punch on the wallet and takes up to two weeks to see a change, but you know what? The A-Grade ingredients in this means this is more than an investment for your skin for the long haul and you'll see results with some patience. Price is R 1000 but this can last you between three and four months.
Water (Aqua), dimethicone, methylheptyl isostearate, cetyl alcohol, diglycerin, cyclopentasiloxane, pentylene glycol, prunus armeniaca (apricot) kernel oil, PEG-100 stearate, glyceryl stearate, isohexadecane, dimethicone crosspolymer, leuconostoc/radish root ferment filtrate, retinol, palmitoyl oligopeptide, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, arginine/lysine polypeptide, sodium ascorbyl phosphate, camellia sinensis leaf extract, caffeine, aleurites moluccana seed oil, tocopheryl acetate, urea, glucosamine hci, algae extract, yeast extract, termella fuciformis polysaccharide, fraxinus excelsior bark extract, niacinamide, oryza sativa (rice) bran extract, glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) root extract, hydrolyzed soy protein, bisabolol, cucumis sativus (cucumber) fruit extract, saccharomyces lysate extract, hesperidin methyl chalcone, steareth-20, dipeptide-2, avena sativa (oat) kernel extract, medicago sativa (alfalfa) seed extract, hydrolyzed lupine protein, corallina officinalis extract, dimethiconol, glycerin, butylene glycol, silanetriol, potassium citrate, aminomethyl propanol, acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, oleth-20, carbomer, polysorbate 20.
Dermalogica's Stress Positive Eye Lift.
A science fiction like tube that packs as much sci-fi magic to your under-eye bags 🤖.This is definitely one of my favorite products of the year. The metallic applicator makes applying the product a dream. Not only does this plump up puffy looking eyes almost instantaneously, it also leaves a lovely glowy touch finish to your skin. 😸😸😸😸
This product contains wild indigo seed extract, also known as yellow broom and clover broom, brightens dark under-eye circles by stimulating blood circulation. The product also contains, sea water extract which contains higher levels of sodium chloride and small parts of magnesium, sulfate and calcium. These are all the perfect ingredients to stimulate and refresh the area under your eyes.
"I only used this once and immediately I could see the magic."
This doesn't come cheap 💵💵 either but compared to the other Dermalogica product, the effects of this are a lot more evident and immediate. I only used this once and immediately I could see the magic.
If you only get one product for your eyes get this. Bottom line is that it works and you won't really need anything else. But the hefty price tag of R 1 210 may dissuade some. But as with the above product, this will last you up to three months.
Water/Aqua/Eau, Dimethicone, Pentylene Glycol, Sorbitol, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Saccharomyces Ferment Lysate Filtrate, Tephrosia Purpurea Seed Extract, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Niacinamide, Diglucosyl Gallic Acid, Citrus Reticulata (Tangerine) Leaf Oil, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Maris Aqua, Propanediol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Vetiveria Zizanoides Root Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Rosa Damascena Flower Oil, Salvia Sclarea (Clary) Oil, Hydrolyzed Algin, Aniba Rosaeodora (Rosewood) Wood Oil, Cananga Odorata Flower Oil, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Methyl Lactate, PEG-100 Stearate, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Tocopherol, Sucrose, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Hydroxide, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate, Aminomethyl Propanol, Xanthan Gum, Linalool, Geraniol, Phenoxyethanol.
Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer
Eye spy with my little eye a super quick and inexpensive solution to your eye bag problem. This nifty concealer works like a charm. I tried it for the first time after trying to convince a lovely sales lady at the Bobbi Brown counter in Sandton to give me a sample or two. ☺. I guess I was super convincing....hey, samples are a consumer right! How else are you supposed to see if something works for you? 😎👀. Anyway after the samples ran out I actually went out of my way to buy this. This is a super portable nifty solution you can get for R 382. Dab some on before your foundation and you're gold. You can even use it without a full face of make-up. The shade may look too light as you but it on but get you blend-age on and work it on your skin.
"Dab some on before your foundation and you're gold."
This concealer acts like a priming canvas before foundation. The rich bisque color counteracts the darkness of the circles. The product is petrolatum based which some may not like but it works with just a little amount used.
Moderately priced product that does the job without breaking the bank. It's a great canvas to hide the solar eclipse underneath but this does crease as the day goes one.
Useful, compact and easy to apply product for those necessary emergencies.
petrolatum, bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, octyldodecyl stearoyl stearate, methyl methacrylate crosspolymer, tribehenin, tocopheryl acetate, retinyl palmitate, oxokerite, lecithin, propylene glycol stearate, sorbitan laurate, polysorbate 20, propylene glycol laurate.

Deliberately smashing a multi-million dollar plane into the desert packs high entertainment value, but the elaborate experiment, which kicked off the second season of Discovery Channel's "Curiosity" series, wasn't just for gasps.
It was also part of an effort to make the 2.8 billion flights that hit the skies each year safer.
"This groundbreaking experiment looks at what actually happens during a plane crash and the science behind passengers' best chance for survival," the Discovery Channel writes in a statement.
A similar demonstration was carried out by NASA in 1984, resulting in a fiery explosion.
Will this time be different?
A 170-passenger Boeing 727, dubbed Big Flo, is used for the experiment. Here she is before the crash.
Big Flo takes off from an airport in Baja California, Mexico, carrying a pilot, co-pilot and a flight engineer.
A three-mile crash site in the remote region of Mexico's Sonoran Desert is cleared ahead of time.
The cockpit completely separates from the rest of the aircraft, which is fairly disconcerting for pilots.
Cameras capture the scene inside the plane which shows luggage tumbling out of the overhead bins and oxygen masks deploying. The cabin fills with smoke and dust.
Now it's time for the scientists to investigate. First they review the footage from the 19 cameras inside the plane.
This is the first real-time high-resolution video anyone has captured from inside an actual plane crash.
The team found that first-class passengers would have died whereas those in the middle of the cabin would probably walk away with nothing more than broken bones and concussions. The folks in the back of the plane were safest.
The flight experts found that bracing for impact by putting your head down and placing your hands over your head can be a life-saver.
Most importantly, the experiment showed that most plane crashes are survivable. "If you were to take a flight every day, in order for you statistically to be in a fatal aircraft accident, you'd have to live 35,000 years," Professor John Hansman of MIT told USA Today.

Imagine an empty room with no people, just chairs, a projector and maybe a podium. In the room is nothing but still objects. There is no hate, jealousy, anger, sadness or envy. We won't find any peace, joy, happiness or love in there because it is emptied of emotions. Until, we walk inside. Once we enter the room, we walk OUT with exactly what we brought IN. This post is about how maximize the benefits of blogging conferences or workshops. Everything you read is based on my personal experience, and it is only meant to be an inspiration to you the next time you find yourself heading to a gathering of like minded people.
In 2013, I attended my first blogging conference, The Hive in Berlin. It had only been about three months since I started my blog, and I wanted to meet people and be inspired by other creatives in the same field. What intrigued me the most was learning something new from people I never had met. When I left I was invigorated and excited to get going with my blog. It was there I met some of the most wonderful people I know today! I learned that what I bring to an experience is what I leave with, it is quite simple and very easy; however, there are a few things that helped me realize this.
Just like the petals of a flower, we are all part of the same beautiful concept. Embrace your fellow friends for we are all part of the same stem.
Intentions are great but without execution they are just a wish. What is your intention with attending the conference? Get clear on this first, and you won't have loose ends to tie up at five o'clock on the last day. If there is a particular person you want to speak with or ask a question be sure to give them enough time to make the time because most people are flattered you would even care to ask them anything! If you just want to go to have fun then by all means have fun!
Take nothing personal. At my first conference, I wanted to meet a particular blogger I found fascinating. We had exchanged emails a few times just days before the conference. When I had the courage to go up and ask her if she could spare a few minutes she had no clue who I was, and I was just standing there like a wet noodle. I felt so silly! I took it personally and learned a lot from that interaction. Back then, I didn't have the tools to deal with impersonalizing situations with people but today I have a practice to take things for face value and never create stories.
A grateful heart is always in style. If you find yourself not liking something then just look around you and remind yourself how lucky you are just to be sitting in the chair you are in! It is so easy to pass a quick judgement and we all do it from time to time. We also know it doesn't get anyone anywhere. Be grateful for the food, water, goodie bags, oh heck be grateful for it all! It never hurts us, right?
Willingness. I will say one thing, if we are willing to see things differently, our experience at a conference or a gathering is going to be a lot different in terms of what we take home with us. No one likes a know-it-all and, to be honest, a beginner's mind is always going to move us forward. I always find when walking into any situation as if I am learning everything for the first time I learn much more. Walk in with open eyes, heart and mind and watch the miracles unfold! Sounds kind of odd but trust me on this one!
Our experience at a blogging conference can also be maximized by leaving our judgement at the door along with our coat. An opinionated attitude get us nowhere and fast!I always find it helpful to make it a practice not to judge others for their choices or beliefs, but I am human and it happens from time to time; I won't lie. >>What matters is that we don't do anything with our judgements.<< We keep them to ourselves and release them because at the end of the day they are nothing but inner debris that gets in the way of a fantastic experience.
Let's participate in adding more love in the world, not subtracting it!
Stay humble.
Speak thoughtfully.
Ask questions.
Listen deeply.
Give thanks to those who organize the event, I promise you they will appreciate it.
Most of all, have a blast and remember, you are there for a reason so make it a great one!

Mix a tablespoon of flour(you can use breadcrumbs too) and the steak seasoning of your choice in a bowl. Meanwhile heat heavy bottomed pan with a couple teaspoons of oil to about 350. Turn on oven to 350. Dry tenderloin with paper towel and cover with the seasoning flour mixture. Sear pork on all sides for about 2 minutes a side. Remove pan from heat and add pork to a sheet pan to roast in oven for 18-22 minutes or until pork is 135.
Add a tablespoon of oil and shallots to same pan and turn to medium low. Keep pan off heat until pan is moderate before adding shallot. Cook shallot for about a minute. Add wine or pork and delgaze pan with wooden spoon. Let reduce slightly and add cherries. I used a slightly dried cherry and dehydrated them with duck(or chicken) stock. Depending on ingredients sauce will differ. Add more liquid or some sugar(honey etc) if your cherries are extremely sour.
Let pork rest about 10 minutes before slicing.

This recipe came about the way many of my ideas do: through the need for a meal with what is on hand. In this case I was not even in my own kitchen. My family got together with some wonderful friends after their long getaway, and we needed dinner. Pork tenderloins, grapes, and wine were available. I had made something similar before. They had a wonderful rub from the CIA grilling cookbook available too(recipe to follow).
"This makes enough rub to flavor about 3 pounds of meat, fish, or poultry. You can make the chili powder or purchase a prepared chili blend. We suggest starting with whole spices for the best flavor, but you can always substitute ground spices if you prefer."
1 tablespoon coriander seeds (or 1 teaspoons ground coriander)
1 tablespoon cumin seeds (or 2 teaspoons ground cumin)
6 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons dried Mexican oregano
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns (or 1 teaspoon ground pepper)
Heat a small saute pan over medium heat. Add the cumin and coriander seeds and toast, swirling the pan constantly, until the seeds give off a rich aroma, about 1 minute. Immediately transfer to a plate and let the seeds cool.
Transfer the seeds to a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder. Add chili powder, onion and garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Grind spices to an even texture.
The rub is ready to use now, or you can transfer it to a jar, cover tightly, and keep in a cool, dry cupboard or pantry for up to 1 month.
Makes 1/2 cup dry rub

1/2 cup chicken broth

Pan-African broadcaster, Kwesé, has taken delivery of a Marquis Broadcast Medway system, supplied by Zimele Broadcast, to streamline its sports production and facilitate fast-turnaround coverage of a recent major sporting event in Asia. The Medway middleware was retrofitted to an Avid® NEXIS®/ Interplay®, Oracle DIVA and Dell EMC Isilon infrastructure, to enable Kwesé's team to edit while ingesting media for the fastest possible turnaround of incoming live feeds. Importantly, Medway enabled this critical functionality without needing to replace any existing systems.
Altered Images has recently supported the University of Central Lancashire with a large update to its Avid Media Composer systems, as part of the university's complete Avid Interplay, iNews and Avid shared storage infrastructure. Since the Media Composers operate in an Interplay environment, Altered Images also made sure all components in the system were upgraded to the correct versions.
Additionally, Altered Images helped UCLan update Avid MediaCentral, improving collaboration by integrating news, sports, post-production and live-production workflows. MediaCentral enables students to access media and work on projects from anywhere, plus UCLan's tutors are now able to view student work – both on and off campus – without being at a Media Composer station.
Object Matrix today announces that M6 (RTL Group - Bertelsmann), the commercial French national broadcaster, has chosen MatrixStore from Object Matrix to be an integral part of their file based workflows.
M6 Group has recently renewed its internal infrastructure for its post-production entities C-Productions and Studio 89. M6 was particularly attracted to an Object Matrix solution based on the need to implement a secure and performant storage platform: "As part of the overall reorganisation of our post-production units, we wanted to update our storage platform and processes. M6 previously faced problems managing the growing volume of files, laboriously backing up content to tape or performing manual backups to unsecure hard drives. Taking the advice of our systems integrator, we modestly increased our Avid Unity ISIS production storage and focused on implementing a storage tier that could alleviate the burden on the production storage by providing a secure parking repository " stated Mathias Bejanin, Director Engineering and Maintenance M6.
Object Matrix, the leading developer of resilient nearline archive solutions for video workflows, today announces the addition of reseller partners with the appointment of several new partners across Europe, South and North America.
Following another very successful IBC show in Amsterdam which saw the launch of the MatrixStore Quattro, Object Matrix is being targeted by both resellers and end users looking for proven, cost effective nearline solutions for their file based workflows.
Object Matrix, developer of integrated nearline storage solutions will be present at the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) Amsterdam from 7th to 11th of September to launch its new product MatrixStore Quattro and to demonstrate enhancements to MatrixStore Server and MatrixStore hardware.
Avid today announced that it will deploy the most comprehensive Avid workflow in the history of NBC Olympics, a division of the NBC Sports Group to support its coverage of the 2012 Olympic Games taking place in London, England, 27 July 12 August, 2012.
Avid today announced the debut of Avid Interplay Sphere, a real-time access solution enabling broadcast news professionals to acquire, access, edit and finish stories anytime, from anywhere. Leveraging a cloud-based architecture, Interplay Sphere-enabled applications give contributors the freedom to work in a completely distributed environment that spans multiple locations and time zones. Dramatically enhancing production effectiveness, Interplay Sphere gives journalists the ability to craft powerful, in-depth stories wherever theyre actually happening and speed them to air while still maintaining full connectivity with the newsroom operation.
AVID today announced the latest version of the companys enterprise media management solution, Interplay® MAM (Media Asset Manager). Avid Interplay MAM 4 increases the value of media by making it easier to find, repurpose, and distribute while coordinating and automating production processes.
At Sportel Monaco, from 10-13 October 2011, Avid will present its range of industry-leading solutions that enable sports organisations and broadcasters to create, manage, distribute and monetise compelling sports content across multiple devices - and ultimately deliver a more engaging experience to sports fans.
Avid today announced that Kanal 75, Swedens leading horse-racing production company and a wholly owned company of ATG, has invested in an Avid® Interplay® Media Asset Management (MAM) system to efficiently store, manage and monetise the thousands of hours of footage that the production company captures and distributes each year. Kanal 75 is the first Avid customer in Sweden to adopt the Interplay MAM solution.

Not Yours To Complete
Not Yours To Complete
Anyone who looks at the world as it is today can see the enormous need for God to send out his people to help redeem it. Enormous numbers of people need to know the gospel, broken families and broken people need help, and the hungry need to be fed. Just hearing about the devastation of the tsunami is overwhelming - how can these people ever recover?
A wise saying regarding this comes from the Mishnah:"The task is not yours to complete, but neither are you free to desist from it." (Pirke Avot 2:21) It means that we should not use the excuse that our help might be futile to decide to do nothing. We might say that our money, time and effort are just drops in an ocean of need — why bother? But as Jesus reminded his disciples in today's passage, the disciples were building on the work of others who didn't live to see the finished product of their faithfulness. We reap from others' efforts, and those following us will reap from ours.
We may despair that there is any point to doing the little things, like sending a few dollars to help with disaster relief, or caring for an elderly neighbor's needs. Or we may feel like if we discuss our faith with a non-believer but did not "pray the sinner's prayer," our efforts are wasted. But Paul says that he planted and another (Apollos) watered, but God gave the growth (1 Cor. 3:6-7). God's plans are much greater than we could ever imagine, and he only expects each of us to do our part in them. All he asks it that we be faithful in what we are given, and let him work through others to accomplish the rest.

In case politicians don't understand what's at stake, the market kindly gave them a little reminder with a nasty close for equities today. In the early morning it seemed people were quite willing to ignore GS's misfortunes in its dealings with the ever more schizophrenic government. Washington simply cannot understand why it can't destroy speculation and leverage yet keep the equity market up, as it is the only economic driver in the US since easy credit is no longer available. Tough indeed: since nothing or close to nothing is manufactured in the US we need our upper class's investments to skyrocket so it is inclined to spend thereby providing service jobs. US politicians have a lot of work on their plate with the financial reform. Any measures too drastic in terms of balance sheet reduction will be tough on financial assets and curb lending, and any measures to curb speculation on commodities will hit this asset class hard and the commodity stocks along with them (miners are amongst leaders in US equities). European politicians have one fine mess to sort as well and money markets are pricing in higher Libor and funding difficulties ahead already. Without expanding too much on the subject, there is no one I would like less to depend on to make the right decisions.
While stocks were within reach of new highs to start the day in the US, it seems market participants felt like taking risk off before the brainiacs try to figure out what it is exactly they want to do, and by the same token give them a reminder as to the consequences of any stupid decision. S&P is pretty close to posting a H&S on the tops (though the neckline is slightly downward sloping which is not ideal) and the support zone is 1,175/1,180. Watch out below. Similar observation on the Nasdaq future with a neckline support at 1,990. The Nikkei joins in the H&S galore, and the Dax which seems to have been more resolutely bearish (understandable given that the epicenter of the main crapshow the market is focusing on is Europe). After a 61.8% or close retracement of the initial sell-off, if the Dax goes to make new lows next week the markets should in theory accelerate to the downside. For good measure, the French index (CAC) is sitting on a major H&S and 200-dma support as well, dragged by the local banks which have the largest exposure to Greece. The one word no one wants to hear during the weekend is restructuring (synonymous of default) as it would clearly let bondholders know that they are fair game... happy days for those holding PIIGS debt if that happens. Maybe the ECB and German politicians could give Dick Fuld a call to see what he thinks, at this point though hopefully they know th answer.
Commodities curiously did not share the late day panic, and Gold was joined by Copper and Oil for more upside for a change. We have reached the 1,185/1,190 resistance in Gold but at this point there are few reasons other than madness out of the financial reform committy that can prevent a run towards new highs.
Have a great weekend and rest up as next week shall prove more dramatic than the sequal of Titanic!

Famous Bermudians - Shaun Goater
The first in what will believe me be a short series.
Shaun Goate
Clearly recognisable by his charming smile I often see Shaun Goater driving his kids to school or just hanging out talking to some of the locals. There is no hero- worshipping here though despite his achievements elsewhere, Goater is more respected than revered by Bermudians.
Born in Court Street in Hamilton in February 1970 Leonardo Shaun Goater grew up in a houseful of women during a socially tough time for Bermuda. Brought up by his mother, grandmother and a couple of Aunties this didn't restrict his interest in football and he would play at every opportunity on any open space he could find.
Goater was offered scholarships in the USA at both Colombia University in New Jersey and Wake Forest in North Carolina, which has an excellent history in sports, especially football but during an autumn break back in Bermuda playing in midfield for North Village against some travelling English youth teams, Goater got spotted by scouts from Man Utd.
Encouraged by his football-obssessed Mum and well known Bermudian football coach Andrew Bascome, Goater at 18 left his tight family unit and travelled to Manchester for his trial, and thus forfeited his scholarships.
"Once I agreed to the trial I had forfeited my scholarship because I was deemed to be a professional. Looking back, it was a huge gamble that I took. I don't know what I would have done had it not worked out. I was confident that this was what I always wanted and knew that if I had turned it down, I could have spent the rest of my life wondering what might have been."
Shaun played two games on trial scoring once and Alex Ferguson gave him a contract. However his work permit took forever and Goater couldn't get anywhere near a first team that included Brian McClair, Mark Hughes, Danny Wallace, Bryan Robson and one Ralph Milne! One thing that did happen for Shaun though was his conversion from a creative midfield player to a striker but after less than a year he moved to Rotherham United in the 3rd Division for an opportunity to play first team football.
However Shaun was missing home and was struggling with the English weather.
"It took me a good two years to get used to life in England. At first I thought the sun never shone and it wasn't for me. I found it hard to get used to life but gradually I accepted what the country had to offer."
But Goater made a lot of friends in Yorkshire and spent seven seasons at Rotherham. He learnt too even at Millmoor that professional football was a team game. In Bermuda he was a one man show, easily the best player on the island but not so in England. He had to buckle down and take the game more seriously. He was told at Man Utd that:
"If you smile the next time you miss another chance, you will be on the first plane to Bermuda."
He made himself a good reputation at Rotherham as a striker who could score goals in the lower leagues. He scored 86 goals in 262 games and played at Wembley in the 1996 Auto Windscreens picking up a winner's medal as The Millers beat Shrewsbury 2-1 (right).
He fell out with manager Archie Gemmill though during that 95-96 season and decide
d to move on. He was now married to his childhood sweetheart Anita and had gotten used to the English weather so despite offers from Spain and South Korea,
Goater chose Bristol City
. It was Joe Jordan at Ashton Gate who finally lured Goater away from Millmoor for a fee of £175,000 and City began the 1996-97 season as one of the favourites to win promotion.
City finished 5th and reached the play-offs only to lose to Brentford. Goater got another 24 goals. The next season City did win promotion but by March after scoring 40 goals in 75 matches Goater had left Ashton Gate and won his dream move to Maine Road. It was the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
At home on deadline day Goater waited by the fax machine to get confirmation of his £400,000 move. He remembers the machine jamming and the clock ticking past 5pm but he was thrilled when Joe Royle finally got his man.
The thrills didn't last and the trouble was whilst Charlton were on the verge of a play-off place and
game at Wembley, Man City were about to drop down to the 3rd tier to replace the Bristol City team Goater had just left and despite scoring twice in a 5-2 win at also relegated Stoke on the last day of the season City dropped to it's lowest level of their 105-year history.
That was a tough summer for Goater with the whole club in the doldrums but City won promotion straight back but only after a dramatic two goals in the last minute took the play-off final against Gillingham into extra time. City beat the Gills on penalties 3-1.
Goater scored 21 goals in that promotion season and he won over sceptical Blues fans, which seems ridiculous bearing in mind his scoring prowess. Goater felt that Paul Dickov was too popular for City fans to find room in their hearts for him, but another blistering start to the 1999/2000 season saw the famous chant of
"Feed the Goat and He Will Score"
start to reverberate around Maine Road.
Around Maine Road Goater was always the one player who was happy to talk to the local press, meet the fans, walk into the schools, sign a kid's autograph book. Never forced it was a natural part of who he is. As Man City won promotion for the second consecutive season, this time to the Premier League, finishing two points behind champions Charlton, Goater scored 29 goals (including both against us) and City were back in the big time.
But for Goater it was his first experience of top flight football and as he wrote in his biography
'Feed the Goat'
he noticed changes.
"In came the big names (Paulo Wanchope and George Weah had both signed). I saw families wanting an autograph get ignored as the stars headed to their flashy cars. I am there thinking 'well. why not sign them.'"
That summer of 2000 Shaun was awarded with the Freedom of Bermuda and 5,000 people lined the streets to welcome him. I expect in those days a lot of City shirts would adorn Hamilton on a Saturday afternoon, today it is mostly the red of United.
City were relegated in their very first Premier League season and despite missing the beginning of the season to injury Goater still ended the season City's top scorer with 11 goals. Joe Royle carried the can and was replaced by Kevin Keegan, a man who admitted to never rating Shaun Goater.
Despite this, Keegan still had the sense to play the fan's favourite and was rewarded with 32 goals - the fourth consecutive season Goater had finished City's top goalscorer. Darren Huckerby scored 26 as City hit 153 league goals in total and won the title by 11 points.
This time around the Maine Road board made their intentions clear that staying in the Premier League was paramount. With Keegan at the helm City signed Nicolas Anelka for £13m and Jon Mackem for £5m. Goater stayed but his opportunities were limited under Keegan but he still scored 7 goals in 14 starts including three
against arch rivals United
in the two Manchester derbies, his 2nd a lob over Barthez in the final derby game to be played at Maine Road was Shaun's favourite career goal.
"I suppose that wasn't the correct way to say thank you to Alex Ferguson for bringing me to England,"
chuckled Shaun after his two goal haul in the win at Maine Road.
2002/03 was City's last at Maine Road and Goater had decided to move on, and despite his wearisome relationship with Keegan he was asked to lead the team out in City's
last ever game
at their 80-yea
r old ground against Southampton.
Goater was adored by City's fans and his decision to look for a final move at the end of his career was one that took months of soul-searching and led to an outpouring of goodwill at Maine Road.
Keegan said at the time:
"I think Shaun Goater will end up coming back to this club one day, but I am not sure what he will do. He might be working with the youth or he might be manager but I think he will walk back in here one day and carry on that love affair with the fans. I hope so because they love him and I know the feeling is mutual."
was awarded a MBE
for services to sport and young people and in the summer of 2003 moved to Reading for £500,000
signed by Alan Pardew
, but Pards then left for West Ham just weeks into the new season. The move you will remember was met with much acrimony. Goater said at the time:
"If he goes, it'll be very disappointing as there's a lot of respect for him."
New Royals manager Steve Coppell came with different plans and set about rebuilding the squad and Goater lasted just two seasons playing infrequently but he did score 12 goals.
Shaun went on loan to Coventry and at 33-years old considered quitting but eventually
signed for Steve Tilson at Southend
on a free in August 2005 for one last season as a pro. It was a fantastic season and one to treasure for The Goat. Southend won the League One title and were promoted to the Championship. Goater played in 34 games, often partnering a young Freddy Eastwood up front, and scored 11 goals.
Goater's final game, his 551st, provided a fairytale end to his glittering career in
England. Southend had to win to claim
the league title at Roots Hall
(right). They did by beating one of Goater's old clubs Bristol City 1-0 and it is said that over 400 Manchester City fans travelled to Essex on the day to serenade their hero. Bristol City fans also gave him a standing ovation afterwards.
Fans also travelled from Bermuda to cheer Shaun on to spark an outpouring of love for The Goat at the final whistle. Bermuda Hogges part owner Paul Scope was also in attendance that day and when asked what makes Shaun Goater so special, he said:
"British fans love his attitude, his special smile - and they love someone who takes what they have in ability and makes more of it."
Goater returned home to Bermuda to an official welcome from then Prime Minister Alex Scott. Southend United also made the journey and played Bermuda's national side in an exhibition match.
By the end of his 17-year career Shaun Goater had scored 260 goals plus 32 in 36 games for Bermuda's national team.
Since being back in Bermuda Goater turned to coaching and giving back to the game that took him away from this island and to a career of reverence that he could never have dreamt about as a young lad kicking the ball along the street.
He studied for his UEFA coaching licence as well as for a marketing degree and is currently the
business development officer
for local firm
East End Group Ltd
, a kind of mini-conglomerate on the island.
Goater is also co-owner of Bermuda's only semi-professional team,
Bermuda Hogges
but strangely has no involvement with the coaching or management side as that responsibility falls to the
Bermuda Foo
tball Association
(BFA), something that clearly rankles with him:
"I've applied for a number of positions at the BFA and have either been turned down or told there is no position, only for there to be a position available a few months later."
It is incredulous that Goater has never been involved with the Bermudian national team, this is a man who has worked with Sir Alex Ferguson, Kevin Keegan and Joe Royle.
"Outside of Bermuda people can't believe I am not involved. But who knows what will happen in the future."
Meanwhile Shaun continues to coach his old team
North Village
, runners up in last season's Bermuda Premier League. He has often doubted the desire of young people in this country to make it is the sporting world. If it is obvious to me that Shaun Goater is the undeniable choice to change this, then I don't understand why it isn't to others.

Spring break is finally here, and for many us here in Michigan that means it's time to get out of the house and travel! However, just because you get to take a mental break from school or work doesn't mean you should take a break from your oral hygiene. Traveling has a nasty habit of throwing us off of our routines; the weird hours and long travel periods can make it extremely easy to slack on our dental care. This is especially bad if you have braces, so here are three dental care essentials to bring with you during your vacations:
A Water Bottle
Believe it or not, dry mouths can increase the amount of bacteria build-up in your mouth. That bacteria may cause cavities to form so make sure to rinse your mouth with water after drinking carbonated or sugary beverages.
Brace-Friendly Snacks
Munching on delicious snacks are a staple of long road trips; you don't have to miss out on this yummy tradition just because you have braces. Pack some of these brace-friendly snacks for your trip and munch away!
- Cheese sticks
- Muffins (without nuts)
- Rice cakes
- Soft fruits like bananas, raspberries, and grapes
- Milkshakes, smoothies, and ice cream (again, no nuts!)
- Jell-O and pudding
- Hotdogs and hamburgers
- Sugar-free hard candies (avoid chewy candies as they can stick to, and pull at, your wires)
- Potato chips and cheese puffs
Dental Basics
Don't forget to pack the bare essentials for oral hygiene: toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss. Make sure to keep your toothbrush dry and clean with a cap or small bag. If you're flying, it's a good practice to pack travel size oral hygiene tools in your carry-on so your dental health won't be neglected if your luggage is lost or delayed.

ARN: The printer market is very competitive, particularly with consumer sales being so slow. Has this affected you?Minolta-QMS managing director Stuart Drysdale: No. I look at our product range and it isn't just consumer. We don't have a large presence in retail today. But we are talking through our distribution channel about increasing our presence. When I look at where our key product sets fit, one of those sits in the retail environment. To date, we have had our greatest success in the small-to-medium enterprise space. What we now have to do is move ourselves into that retail/consumer environment and also the larger corporate banking, finance and insurance groups.
Have you found any confusion in the channel following the Minolta-QMS merger and if so how have you overcome that?I actually see the acquisition by Minolta Corporation as being very healthy for us. It is a very strong move. It brings the Minolta recognised brand name quality to our printing company. QMS has always been recognised for its controller technology and Minolta is the second largest print engine manufacturer in the world. So it hasn't been very confusing when people look for laser printer vendors. It might be confusing when somebody rings Minolta-QMS and asks for Minolta, meaning the camera company and the photocopier company. But Minolta Corporation is a distributor of ours in Australia, so we get the follow through.
Within Australia, Minolta-QMS doesn't sell direct, so it is straight through the distribution channel. One of those distributors is Minolta but it has a set of dedicated dealer resellers so we find there is no conflict.
Are you able to take advantage of the technology now that QMS is under the Minolta Corporation banner?Minolta is the second largest engine manufacturer in the world. They have OEM'ed their product to Lexmark and Epson and also QMS so, from our viewpoint, our print engine technology is very, very strong. That means our controller technology and the relationship with our print engine manufacturer can be closer which in turn brings out more benefits and features. One of the new concepts that we are bringing out is our print/copy concept - so a laser printer can be an ad hoc copier.
As a company, we have taken a marketing strategy to Minolta Osaka, which they are now pushing down to the other groups, so we can leverage off the Minolta brand name. It is a very well recognised name throughout everyone's industry so we are looking at, say, bundling our product with digital cameras. To me, vertical markets are important for us to be able to market through, take those sales leads that we generate and give them to our authorised dealer network.
How have you changed your distribution relationships lately and why?One of the key things I wanted to look at was how we meet and deal with our reseller channel. We needed to have products available on time and one of the key things we had to change were the operating skills of our distributors. We had to look at how we address the Australian market and make sure our dealer resellers can get access to our products very easily. To be honest, resellers should not be stressed out by dealing with any company. That means we have got to have good, strong distribution partners who are better set up to do that. That is also why we appointed a consumables-only distributor as a second source. So if somebody is short on consumables, their preference isn't to go to one of the mainstream IT distributors but to go and source those consumables locally. In the past, that has been an issue and it was disappointing through August of last year. We reacted as quickly as we could to make sure it doesn't happen again and now it is working very well. The response from dealer resellers was that this was a necessity.
What are the challenges inherent in looking after both the Asian and Australian markets at the same time?I don't think the challenges are any different. When I look at the channel and channel strategy throughout different countries, it is exactly the same - we deal with our distribution partners and then facilitate and help with sell-through for our dealer resellers. Offering rebates, marketing development funds and doing advertising to push the incentives and programs does that. The programs we have in Australia are typically the same as we have in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan or Thailand. Obviously we have a slightly different approach to product sets by country, but in regards to our approach to distribution, it is identical.
What are the main factors that will drive the printing market in the next 12 months?The first is the margin the dealer and reseller will receive from the vendor. The second is technology. In building more features on digital laser printers and allowing people to take on our copy/print concept, the reseller can offer unique selling points in departmental printing. The value-added reseller will become more critical, I think, for our channel in being able to address customers needs.
How do you make your channel aware of what they can do with the product?Comparisons are really important. One of the key things I don't think we've done particularly well in the past is product positioning. It is one of the things we have got to be able to do so somebody who looks at one of our competitor's machines will also think of the advantages of our product. Marketing for Minolta-QMS Australia has only three directives over the next 12 months: product recognition, product positioning and sales lead generation. That lead generation then goes down to our authorised reseller dealer network.
Is that product positioning the key to moving into the retail space?I actually think the retail space has more to do with product recognition than anything else. In retail, everyone walks past the products every day. So with a retail presence, people will start to think of Minolta-QMS when they look at their small office or corporate needs. So it will be a critical element to get that recognition in the market, more than product positioning.
The retail market in Australia is made up of a number of categories. We are looking at the upper group of IT retailers - to partner with them through our distributors and offer them the rebates to move forward. We have to make sure the product is there, the technology is there and the pricing is there, specifically for the retail market.

On my first day we drove to Jalalabad where we were hosting a roundtable discussion on issues in border communities on border with Uzbekistan. Many of these areas are unstable and there is frequent conflict between border guards on either side.
In a strange twist of fate, about an hour after we left the meetings in the Jalalabad Oblast Administration building, a separate protest overtook the building and occupied it.
Details on that: translated news link here
Glad we made it back safely. Interesting first day.
Kyrgyz border guards at the roundtable discussions. The talks lasted about 3 hours and included community leaders, journalists and border guards from each side.

Click on Play to listen to Indrasis Acharya - WBRi On-Demand Audio Broadcast
Washington, DC, July 22, 2011 (Washington Bangla Radio) Film-maker Indrasis Acharya based in Kolkata chats with Arijit Chakraborty about his films and his next big project in this audio interview broadcast.
In spite of not being a professional film-maker, his first two short films "Living Beyond the Line" and "Ektu Antorikotar Janya" did remarkably well in the film festival circuit, both winning critical acclaim and a slew of awards.
Working a full-time job in a Multi-National information technology organization means Indrasis can pursue his passion for making films only after work, which naturally led him to try short films first.
"Living Beyond the Line" - a story around three terminally ill friends who refuse to spend their last days in despair but set about fulfilling their dreams - is inspired by the writer-directors own experience of his mother diagnosed with terminal cancer and eventually passing away. Indrasis went on the internet to see how other terminally ill people across the world were taking their situation and chanced upon three women, all given a few months to live by their doctors, chatting among themsleves about fulfilling their wishes. The idea of "Living Beyond the Line" was thus born. Indrasis bounced the idea off a few friends who loved the idea and chopped in with help and financial support. The film went on to win the Best Film award at the 4th National Short and Documentary Film Festival and the runners-up (second best) film award at Tiruvanthapuram film festival, as well as become an official selection at the Bangladesh International Film Festival, and a host of international film festivals. It received standing ovation at Helsinki International Film Festival. Read all about "Living Beyond the Line" and watch the trailer here.
Trailer: Ektu Antorikotar Janya
The story of "Ektu Antorikotar Jonyo" occurred to Indrasis when one day he watched a mentally challenged young boy in the streets of Kolkata and started observing the interaction of the people with the boy. The film explores the world of a mentally challenged boy Archiesman in his efforts to balance the worlds of fantasy and reality. In this journey he tries to befriend several individuals, who are all marginalized in their own ways. Read all about "Ektu Antorikotar Janya" and watch the trailer here.
"Ektu Antorikotar Janya" was shot over a weekend, and inaugurated the 2010 Kolkata Short Film Festival (via a screening at Nandan-2 theater) where it also won the Best Film award. It was judged to be the Best Motion Picture by Sandip Ray and awarded in ISI (Indian Statistitical Institute) in Integration 2011. The film has been selected at Worldkids International Festival, We Care Interrnational Festival and so on, and was screened at North American Bengali Conference (NABC) 2011 in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. The audience cheered "Ektu Antorikotar Jonyo" with a standing ovation at the Milan International Film Festival in Italy.
The star cast includes Aparajita Ghosh Das, Debalina Dutta, Tathagata Bannerjee, Dripto Baksi and Subhadro Sengupta. The film features two Rabindrasangeet songs performed by Jayasri and Sinjini Acharya Mazumder.
Indrasis is currently gearing up to start shooting his first full-length feature film towards end of 2011, with the goal of theaatrical release in mid 2012. The film features a veteran bartender in Park Street of Kolkata who has seen a myriad of interesting people over his career.

Boise summit looks to improve college instruction
Sparking student interest in learning
An adult's average attention span for listening to something is about 12 minutes.
So why do college professors lecture for nearly an hour in their classes? How much of what they are saying really gets through?
Teaching strategies — such as the all-too-well-known professorial lecture — came under scrutiny Friday at a Boise summit of 23 colleges and universities from across the country looking at ways to improve instruction for would-be teachers in science, technology, engineering and math.
Q: Who attended?
More than 75 people. They came from Auburn University, Michigan State University, University of Maryland, Texas Tech University, Idaho State University, Portland State University, University of Utah, College of Western Idaho, and other schools.
Q: Why a summit on teaching?
College faculty often teach the way they were taught, said Susan Shadle, director for the Center of Teaching and Learning at Boise State University, which hosted the summit. "Most learned by sitting in lectures," she said.
Changing how instructors present information can have enormous benefits in helping students achieve a deeper understanding and improved retention of material, said Mathew Ouellett, associate provost and director of teaching and learning at Wayne State University in Detroit.
Q: Is it complicated?
No. Both Shadle and Ouellett say simple tactics can bring students to focus more on their learning. One example: a strategy called "Think, Pair, Share." A couple of times during a lecture, a professor could stop and ask students to reflect on what they have heard, pair up and discuss it with another student, and then share what they learned. "The technique is very, very helpful for sustained learning," Ouellett said.
Another strategy is polling, in which classes are asked a survey question part of the way through class. "They help students engage the material in a very active way," Ouellett said. "You have a lot of fun with it. It doesn't take a lot of time."
Q: What are the obstacles?
Integrating new teaching techniques, however, isn't easy in many university structures, Shadle said. Innovative instruction often isn't rewarded in a culture where dollars-producing research is considered the mark of a good instructor. "You might be doing a great job" as an instructor, but it might not count much in tenure, Ouellett said.

Other | A New Year with a Good God
Speaker: Derek Mitchell
Duration: 32 min 39 sec
Description: In which Pastor Derek discusses how we can have faith in God through not only the good times, but also the trying times as well. David wrote, "I sought the Lord, and He answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to Him are radiant with joy; their faces will never be ashamed. This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him and saved him from all his troubles."
