NEW YORK—July 6, 2011. AIGA and Adobe® announce the launch of Design Envy, a daily blog featuring the best in design as chosen by a different curator each week. Guest curators will be encouraged to share their "wish I'd done that" discoveries—recent design that's so creative, inspiring and effective, they wish they had designed it themselves. While the curators are selected by AIGA, the professional association for design, the envy-inducing work curators choose to celebrate is entirely up to them.
Design Envy selections are chosen by designers, for designers, and will draw from all design disciplines. Each day, the week's curator will post a new example to inspire and inform—through imagery, compelling descriptions about effectiveness, and the creative minds behind the work.
The first round of curators includes:
The most popular entries, as determined by votes from the community, will become a special collection in the AIGA Design Archives—the richest online resource for those who practice, study and appreciate great design.
With all the blogs and image-sharing sites already in existence, why launch Design Envy? In short, the wide range of excellent work happening in the profession doesn't always come through in AIGA's traditional channels and publications—nor has there been a consistent way to discuss and interact with the selections until now.
"Competitions and design annuals are inspiring tools, yet they're inherently limiting since the work chosen is entirely dependent upon the work submitted," explained Richard Grefé, executive director of AIGA. "We developed Design Envy to expand the range of voices contributing to design discussions, and to heighten the level of visual inspiration provided by unexpected choices."
So should visitors to the site be, quite literally, envious?
"Seeing a daily post of great design may incur a twinge of envy," noted David Rich, Adobe's director of product marketing for design. "We trust that the envy is short-lived, and that the work shown on Design Envy will inspire contemplation, lively discussion, and instill the drive to be even better."
Visit designenvy.org to get inspired, discuss the entries and vote on your favorites.
AIGA is the professional association for design, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing design as a professional craft, strategic tool and vital cultural force. Founded in 1914, AIGA today serves more than 22,000 members through 66 chapters and 200 student groups across the United States. AIGA stimulates thinking about design, demonstrates the value of design and empowers the success of designers at each stage of their careers. Learn more at aiga.org/about.

NEW YORK—March 5, 2013. A new professional fellowship program developed by Design Ignites Change and AIGA aims to support social impact projects by providing seed funding and mentoring to creative professionals.
NEW YORK—February 12, 2013. AIGA's Design Leaders Confidence Index inched upward in the fourth quarter of 2012, climbing from 100.51 to 101.72. Given the economic anxiety surrounding the Congressional ultimatum on the "fiscal cliff," this sustained level of confidence seems to bode well for designers.
NEW YORK—February 5, 2013. A lifetime of achievement in design can take many forms. The 2013 recipients of the AIGA Medal, the highest honor of the design profession, represent the range of contributions designers make to clients, future generations and society at large—through inspiration, thoughtful critique, social impact and the education of future design leaders.

Brought before legislators to explain a six-week backlog of business filings in her office, Secretary of State Debra Bowen offered this week a small window into state operations. It was not, as Assemblyman Tom Daly, D-Anaheim, said afterwards, encouraging.
Speaking before Daly's Assembly Budget Subcommittee No. 4 on State Administration, Bowen, also a Democrat, described an office that processes hundreds of thousands of critical business documents using a filing system reliant on three-by-five index cards.
She explained how the her agency's Sacramento office building, constructed in 1995, has "maxed out" on available electrical outlets and how the state's tortured procurement process virtually ensures that whatever software she orders will be obsolete by the time it's delivered.

A Brief about the Laser Engraving
Laser engraving has often been used to mark wood products for applications like fabrication of artistic scenes or commemorative plaques. This application often employs a CO2 laser operating in the range of 40-80 W of power. The pattern may be stored in a computer memory, which controls the scanning and the modulation of the beam. Alternatively, the laser may be controlled by the output from a photo detector that scans an original drawing synchronously with the laser scan. This method allows rapid transformation of a drawing into an engraved pattern.

I could put some brands of Linux on your computer, and you wouldn't recognize the difference.
Also the fact that Windows has so many more issues creates a much larger tech issue. A lot of that is again preconceptions about different systems.
Open Office really isn't an option for many companies. While it's fine for basic needs most home users need, it misses many of the best features off Office. It also has it's own compatibility issues which can be very limiting.
Also, I disgree that every IT tech has (or should have) Linux skills. I would say most by far do not have those skills or not in enough depth to make them credible Linux techs. It's hard to justify learning Linux when everything you're running is Microsoft or some web based interface.
While changing from Windows 7 to Windows 8 isn't a huge deal on the back end, it's a huge deal for the end user. My organization will be staying with Windows 7 and hoping Windows 9 has a more usable interface.
Note: I'm IT Director for a medium sized non-profit. Microsoft is very, very good to non-profits with massive discounts.

Baseball HQ: A recipe for batters' non-roster invitee success
by BaseballHQ.com
on February 19, 2013 @ 10:15:33
By Dan Becker Their signings generate little fanfare. They aren't expected to make the Opening Day roster, let alone make an impact during the season. In most cases, the best they can hope for is a bench role and another chance to chase some small measure of success in The Show. And yet, every year scores of MLB veterans sign non-guaranteed minor league contracts that bring with them that special caveat: An invitation to spring training.
The list of non-roster invitees (NRIs) each season is always chock full of prospects, prized and otherwise, but for the purposes of this article, we're focusing only on the failed prospects and the grizzled veterans. The idea is to mine some potential value from this year's NRI crop of hitters. Before you scoff at the notion, remember the past. In 2012, four NRIs not only earned significant playing time with the big club, but they excelled and returned positive value both on the diamond and in fantasy: Brandon Moss (OF, OAK); Justin Ruggiano (OF, MIA); Juan Pierre (OF, then with PHI); and Dewayne Wise (OF, CHW). Is there something that can learned from these players that will help in predicting what hitters can be a factor in 2013? This is an admittedly miniscule sample, but there are some instructive common elements. All of these players prior to 2012:
Guided by this set of loose criteria, the Batter Buyer's Guide endeavors to isolate 2013's top NRI fantasy wild cards: Familiar facesFinally given a chance at a starting job out of spring training last year in Detroit, Ryan Raburn (2B/OF, CLE) fell on his face and endured his worst season as a pro. But Raburn brings with him a track record of above average skills. From 2007 through 2011, he posted a PX of 135 or better in four of five years, while carrying Spd of 107+ in all seasons. Don't count on many SBs, but the power is real and at 32 years old, it's unlikely his poor 2012 was age-related. The Indians have some questions in their lineup, so Raburn's power and ability to play IF and OF gives him a fighting chance to earn a significant share of ABs. When it comes to evaluating 34-year-old Miguel Olivo (C, CIN), owners must answer one question: Do the negatives (poor ct%, nonexistent bb%, age) overshadow the positives (solid PX and health)? If Olivo were playing anywhere but in Cincinnati then the answer might be "yes." But Great American Ball Park and its favorable power hitting environment (+43% RHB HR) is a perfect match for Olivo's lone remaining plus skill. The Reds have two other options at catcher, but an early Olivo power surge could lead to the Reds re-shuffling their depth chart. Do the Rays want Shelley Duncan (OF, TAM) and his career .217 BA vs RHP in the lineup every day? Probably not. But his career .720 OPS vs RHP shows he's not useless and his plus PX and strong bb% provides some value to a club that needs to find ways to score runs. Duncan clubbed 11 home runs in 232 ABs or less each of the past three seasons, so he generates offense even in a reduced role. The Rays have spun straw into gold before, so keep an eye on Duncan if earns a roster spot this spring. The Rays are rolling the dice with another veteran invitee, Jason Bourgeois (OF, TAM). He's consistently shown a strong ct%, while flashing above average bb% at times, but his wheels are the moneymakers for Bourgeois. His Spd isn't elite so much as solid, yet his SBO% is terrific so he can pile up SBs in limited PT as he did in 2011 when he swiped 31 bags in just 238 ABs. Bourgeois' ct% and Spd keeps his BA floor higher than most and the Rays have shown in the past that they are willing to give one dimensional speed demons like him significant PT (see: Sam Fuld). If any NRI has a chance to come out of nowhere and steal 50 bases, it's Bourgeois. What other categories should you watch?

Last week, renaissance woman extraordinaire Amanda Palmer was the Guest Editor of music site magnetmagazine.com(I only found out about this yesterday and a new guest editor has already taken her place). I'm not sure what it means to be a Guest Editor, but she wrote daily blog posts about things. One of her posts was about yoga. For those of us who know that Palmer is a committed practitioner but rarely hear her speak publicly about her practice, this post was an interesting insight into why she does it.
This is what she had to say:
I fucking love yoga and I fucking love you. I love you because I love yoga. It all works in a perfect circle. When I was about seven years old, I fell over a balcony … about a 12-foot drop. I was fine, just a broken wrist (from trying to hang on to the railing; I'm a grabby bitch) and a concussion, but I started experiencing extreme back pain when I was about 15, and I'm pretty sure it traces back to the fall when I landed smack dab on my pelvis. I went to everything: chiropractors, osteopaths, massage therapists, acupuncturists, regular doctors. They all said the same shit: try yoga. I was 15. I didn't want to try yoga. I wanted someone to fix this shit for fuck sake. After living in agony for about 10 years and asking two or three friends a day to please pull my neck in the correct way as to achieve a satisfying kachchchrunnchch sound, I finally remitted and started a regular yoga practice. It changed my life. Not just the body, but the soul. Nowadays, if I don't get to yoga for a couple of weeks, I notice a marked, obvious decrease in my mood. I get bitchy. I get unhappy. I get pissed. When I manage to get to yoga three to four times a week, I can pretty much do anything, handle anything (Car towed? sure. Work crisis? sure. Death of a friend? sure) and I stay as grounded to the earth as a Swiss Alp. My preferred style is Hot Vinyasa yoga (in particular, Baptiste) but I'll take anything in a pinch. When I tour, I simply google. If it's nearby, I just show up, pay my $15 drop-in fee, and melt into the soothing-bath feeling of being with a handful of other people in a hot room who are committed to silently healing and stretching their bodies for an hour and half. In a funny way, it's almost like paying for a pre-show high-school-theater warm-up. If they had drop-in classes in that, I'd be there like a shot. Trust fall, anyone?
The biggest misconceptions about yoga:
1) Yoga is for chicks. (not true)
2) Yoga is for flexible people. (the opposite of true; yoga is for people who need to get flexible)
3) Yoga is full of chanting, incense and weird religious Indian shit. (it's usually not, and even if teachers throw that shit in, they take care not to weird you out)
And here is Palmer performing about her place alongside Lady Gaga and Madonna on the female pop star continuum:

I love that woman. She deserves an official Polga uniform.
My awesome alter-ego is a belly dancer, and it's interesting for me to read this article just on the tails of a major debate that her behavior sparked in our community. She's on tour, asking musicians to play for free. While many musicians are taking her up on this offer, there are also many performers find it problematic that she is paying other band members and staff, but not the locals. If this arrangement becomes the norm, it makes it harder and harder for professional performers to get fair wages.
Aside from that, she mock-raped someone on stage, created a highly offensive "siamese twin" project, and blows off every criticism of her poor taste and bad behavior because it's ART. Not a fan.
But she does yoga! Yay? Maybe if she keeps going to classes some of that "weird religious Indian sh*t" will actually soak in.

Why is mold growing in my home?
Why is mold growing in my home?
Molds are part of the natural environment. Outdoors, molds play a part in nature by breaking down dead organic matter such as fallen leaves and dead trees, but indoors, mold growth should be avoided. Molds reproduce by means of tiny spores; the spores are invisible to the naked eye and float through outdoor and indoor air. Mold may begin growing indoors when mold spores land on surfaces that are wet. There are many types of mold, and none of them will grow without water or moisture.
Read more about mold at www.epa.gov/mold
- The key to mold control is moisture control.
- If mold is a problem in your home, you should clean up the mold promptly and fix the water problem.
- It is important to dry water-damaged areas and items within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth.

Comments about GSI Outdoors Stainless-Steel Nesting Red Wine Glass:
My boyfriend I are "fancy campers" in that we like to take along a bottle of wine and some cheese when possible. I was immediately attracted to these stainless steel nesting wine glasses after using the plastic version. The only issue I have found is that they tend to give a slightly metallic taste to wine (dry reds) and that the lip seems a bit sharp. I have only used them a few times, so I can't say how they fare over time, maybe the metallic taste will vanish after more washing. I plan to keep using them as the cons are not enough to deter me.

Midwest tee
P.S. Midwestern dog.
84 comments:
As a former NYer now Chicagoan, totally fine to wear it! Also, as the mom of a 20-month-old boy who lives in the city, you'll want to check out some free concerts for kids while you're in town. Mr. Singer (a local fave of kids) performs at the Farm at the Zoo (southern part of Lincoln Park Zoo) every Wed/Fri mornings at 9:15 am and 10 am. Also, Wiggleworms (a program at the Old Town School of Folk Music, a Chicago music school), hosts free kids concerts every day in Millennium Park at 10 am in the Family Fun Tent. Your son can mingle with the local city kids and burn off some energy!
ReplyDelete Love these. I sent you a link a few weeks ago to Michigan Mitten T-shirts my brother makes from Brooklyn (and you were kind enough to respond). But I love rocking anything mid-west/Michigan themed when I'm in other cities.
ReplyDeleteAs an Argentinean who would totally rock the I <3 NY t-shirt in NY, I say wear it!! ;)
(Sorry for what I'm going to write now, I'm desperate!):
Dear -A Cup of Jo- readers, would you please take 5 minutes to complete this survey for a Market Research course I'm taking? Thank you VERY much! :) http://freeonlinesurveys.com/s.asp?sid=37auv1ksuwttrfn77175As a Midwesterner (I live in Columbus, OH) I say wear it! I bet you will get tons of compliments & people asking where they can get one themselves!
Have fun in Chitown, and check out Charlie Trotter's restaurant if you can -it is a Chicago institution that is sadly closing at the end of the summer!

Hi Joanna, I was just wondering if you have any issues with promoting over-consumption? It seems like you're always promoting something here on your blog, which leads your readers to feel like they need to purchase it. I don't mean that to be rude, I just don't understand why you don't write more about other things, and give the product pushing a rest.
ReplyDelete Wear it! While you're in the *real* midwest, take a drive up the coast to Holland or Grand Haven, MI. You will find natives and tourists wearing "Lake Michigan | Unsalted" shirts/hoodies. :) Lovely beaches, "real" downtowns, and generally happy people.
Okay, back to Chicago... Shedd Aquarium is always fun, and Lincoln Park Zoo is free (yippee) with space to run and play (aka, non-stroller/backpack time for the little guy). My new favorite place to refresh is the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool. A lovely hide-away from city-ness just steps from The City. Great for regrouping, thinking, and enjoying native midwest vegetation. Kudos to volunteers for working to restore this gem!
Enjoy your trip!Oh, I love all the comments of proud Mid-westerners (Personally, I'm from the Rocky Mountain region, the real west, which I'm also proud of, and it always confuses me to be mixed up with the midwest by people on the coast. Its a different time zone and very different outlook on life. One that involves a lot of cowboy hats....)
Most places I've ever been to seem to have no problem "wearing the concert T to the concert" metaphorically speaking. Have fun in Chicago!I'd say no on this one but I say yes to going to the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Tour in Chicago and checking out the free summer concerts in the Park at the stage designed by Frank Gehry (not sure the name but we got to see the Dirty Projectors there a couple of years ago). Also a nice city to rent bikes with Toby.
Any tips for a short trip to Ann Arbor in July for a Mama with her 10 month old (how different would your Mama haunts be from your college ones?)
Thanks and love the blog,

Thanks and love the blog,
Claire- Julie3:43 PM
Chicago people LOVE their town and we regularly wear/carry anything Chicago-y. Especially things with our city flag. Midwesterners we are, but we don't necessarily identify as such since we're urban city people (the people out in the suburbs do, though). But we also don't really care enough about fashion as a whole (Milan, this is not). So no one will really even notice your shirt unless they like it. If you really own this shirt (and it's not just an affiliate link you posted) and like it wear it with gusto, my friend.
ReplyDelete - Anonymous12:00 PM
Oh, Jo!
I love it, I do…
I just noticed my sister wearing this shirt yesterday.
I shouldn't be surprised…
She is, dare I say, hyper-smitten with Cup of Jo.
As in, she only seems to buy things you've featured.
It seems that every time I see her she is wearing or carrying something all too familiar.
I'll admit it that at first I was a little freaked out by how she has physically tried to morph into you.
(yeah, that's right, you two have the same glasses…)
We're talking...
After she had her firstborn- months after Toby- she would constantly say "Toby has one of these!" as she picked through her diaper bag. Two years later, and she hasn't missed a beat.
I had a dream once that I confided in you how worried I was with her obsession.
(Hey, thanks for being super calm with the news, dream Jo!)
I say all this to say,
We're not from the mid-west.
She has never been to the mid-west.
I may have to have an intervention. This site is one of the best I have found :
" Progressive Home Insurance "
" allstate home insurance "

Excellent information and facts. Only real difficulty I was basically receiving was viewing the pics. No idea exactly why.

You're welcome, satrow. I've been following Dell's implementation of their diagnostics (DellUtility) partition for over a decade. It was mildly useful back then, but has become essentially useless today.
A decade ago it was a useful feature to help a telephone support tech get technical details about a customer's system. Rather than hoping the customer hadn't misplaced his/her Utilities CD, the tech could walk even a complete noob through the process of booting the diagnostics partition and relaying useful information.
About 5-6 yrs ago Dell expanded their BIOSes to add a new, PSA ("Preboot System Assessment") routine, but IMHO it was a step backwards and counterproductive to the original purpose of the diagnostics partition. When you now use the F12 one-time boot menu to try and boot the diagnostics partition, the BIOS launches into this lengthy PSA routine before eventually getting around to booting the diagnostics partition. PSA can take upwards of 10-15 minutes to complete, and nobody wants to wait that long just to get to the diagnostics menu.
In contrast, if you launch Dell diagnostics from a CD, you don't have to wait for PSA and can get right to the diagnostics menu. So nowadays it's actually preferable to launch diagnostics from a CD instead of the DellUtility partition.
The DellUtility partition is a feature that has outlived its usefulness, so I don't recommend cgwaters (or anyone else in a similar situation) go through extra effort just to try and preserve it.

So, after scanning all my receipts in I wanted to test recovery and tranportability ... so I clicked on export and the formats offered are ENEX, html, mht.
I was thinking the export would be PDF??
I scanned in the receipts into EN and deleted the PDF thinking EN stored the PDFs in the cloud?
I don't have to keep the PDFs do I?? The more things to keep up with the more complicated it gets.
Warning bells went off when I read this. Please set up a system to backup your Evernote on a regular basis. If you scan through these forums, you will see several stories where people did not have a backup. Yes, if everything is handled properly, you can retrieve your information from the cloud, but things do not always go as hoped.
If you are using Windows and you only want the individual PDF file, you can right click it and save it to your hard drive.
GM's suggestion would be better for larger numbers of exports.

CD/LP/Track Review
Otis Taylor: Truth Is Not Fiction (2003)
Moving comfortably between acoustic and contemporary electric blues, Otis Taylor brings us an exciting new album with social commentary laced all the way through. This is his fifth album. The seasoned bluesman's passionate volume of adventurous storytellin' garnered several W.C. Handy Award nominations this year.
Taylor, 55, grew up in Chicago and Denver. His first love was the banjo, which gets quite a workout on Truth Is Not Fiction. Singing with a down-home ease and a genuine spirit, the bluesman offers stories that honor Rosa Parks, stark prison landscapes, the Black experience in America, the Native American experience in America, and your average hard-working man of the house. He closes the album with Big Joe Williams' "Baby, Please Don't Go."
Recalling the way "House of the Rising Sun" swept across the land several decades ago, Taylor's songs utilize dramatic tension and emotional release to convey a mood. His blues mood serves to pump up our ambitions and to push us in ways we'd otherwise neglect. Everybody needs a little push now and then. Taylor's got just the remedy for that. Armed with his session of powerful inspiration, we're ready to face the world and to make things work out the way we truly want.
Visit Otis Taylor on the web for audio samples and more.
Track Listing: Rosa; Kitchen Towel; Comb Your Brown Hair; Babies Don
Personnel: Otis Taylor- vocals, guitar, electric banjo, mandolin, harmonica; Kenny Passarelli- bass, piano, keyboards; Eddie Turner- guitar; Ben Solee- cello; Cassie Taylor- backup vocals.
Record Label: Telarc Records

the art that inspires me.
this is the second time i've lost my voice ever. and, as a singer, it terrifies me to my very core.
there is nothing I can do, but wait.
to say that it tests my patience is an understatement.
I think the main reason that it scares me so much is the fear that my voice will not come back at all.
I joked to a friend the other day that I am nothing without my voice. we all know that jokes often veil the truth. and in my case, I know that this "joke" is barely a joke at all.
my fear is unfounded and extreme… but it doesn't make it less real.
they say it's important to face your fears. well, let's hope this time of voicelessness makes me a stronger, braver, more responsible person.
or maybe, I'll finally stop overloading myself and learn to listen to my body when it says to rest.
well, I can dream, right?
