I read a lot about social networks, the semantic web, web services / SaaS (software as a service) and all kinds of things. It's clear that under the surface, the web is becoming far more than the old analogies allow.
In many ways, the analogy of there being web 'pages' works well; in part it's helped people understand the web. This allowed users to get their head around links, which is a web-specific term, which splits from the page analogy.
With people using various social networks and a rise in popularity of other forms of content consumption through RSS (often through RSS aggregators), sites like Digg or newsvine, through widgets or social apps; how can the average Joe find an analogy for these new ideas?
What used to be a page can broadcast it's content via RSS, so the content can be openly syndicated. Another 'page' (such as Google Reader) is a service that can pull in these broadcasts into your own content channel. The closest analogies are radio or TV stations; many regional stations would pool content from a variety sources to form part of their output. With this in mind, do we have co-existing analogies of accept that the old staple of 'pages' no longer suits the fluid mature of the modern web?
Web services often refers to be access and consumption of data (or content) through APIs on websites such as Amazon, eBay, etc. Through these a 'page' of your own can use data or content from multiple sources, in a 'mash-up' along with your own data or content, then potentially have this syndicated and available through your own API.
As the combination of many technologies or methodologies allow content to be less static as the page model suggest, does the lay person need to even consider the shift under the surface?
The social layer interests me; and judging by the moves in OpenSocial (spearheaded by Google and a raft of SocNet related companies), OpenID (a central point for managing your identity on the web) and the Data Portability movement, which has recently got pretty much every big web company on board – most people seems to be seeing the pointless and endless 'sign-up' processes for sites and services are restrictive. Using a combination of existing methods and formats, the DataPortability group shows that, with effort, we could all have a central source of identity and share our data, content and media across sites far more easily.
The breaking down of these silos of data and close-walled gardens of social networks needs to happen but I guess my concern is that it needs very non-technical people to get on board. Offering a simple way of doing this stuff and have people use it shouldn't be a problem so long as the level of knowledge or experience expect of the end user is kept to a minimum. A vast number of people using the web are not security conscious or understand fully the privacy implications of using e-commerce or social networks. How can we make the technical shift we need to as developers and not have a loads of fancy services no-one embraces?
It should never be about the technology – it's always about the users.

PORTLAND – With 6-foot-4 senior center Marissa MacMillan controlling the paint at both ends for Deering in the decisive first half, the Rams' stifled a good Sanford squad.
How much did they shut down the Spartans' offense? Well, Deering didn't score in the fourth quarter — taking just one shot — yet still won 32-19 in a Western Class A game Thursday night.
"When you're up by 15 points, why play into their hands and take bad shots?" Deering Coach Mike Murphy said of his team's clock-draining offense. "We were hoping to get some layups out of it and maybe get into the one-and-one. It just never happened."
On the other side, Sanford Coach Kristy Parent said she felt her team was down by too many points to bother with trying to foul its way back into the game.
"We dug ourselves a hole and we weren't able to get any sort of flow," Parent said. "Honestly, we needed a more up-tempo game and it ended up being more of a half-court game."
So the matchup of previously unbeaten squads came to a quiet conclusion.
Deering improved to 5-0. Sanford is 3-1.
MacMillan scored all of her eight points in the first half. Keneisha DiRamio and LeeAnn Downs led Deering with nine points each.
Sanford guards Morgan Fogg and Samantha Adams and center Heather LeBlanc entered the game averaging in double figures. They finished with six, five and five points, respectively.
After six minutes, with Deering ahead 4-0, the die had already been cast for a defensive showdown.
MacMillan's points came during a 17-4 run that carried into the second quarter. Two buckets were on offensive rebounds where she simply used her long reach to go over the undersized Spartans — the gritty LeBlanc was off the court both times.
"She's always going to be a difference maker at the defensive end," Murphy said. "It's when she can offensive rebound and get the ball down in the paint and offensive rebound and score some bunnies for us that she becomes that much better of a player."
Deering guard Chelsea Saucier effectively defused Sanford's attempt at pressure defense, allowing the Rams to consistently work an offensive set.
With Sanford dropping down to protect entry passes, DiRamio and Downs feathered in wide-open 3-pointers in the second quarter.
"We set the tempo at both ends of the court," Murphy said.
Sanford had a 6-0 run early in the third quarter, with LeBlanc driving right past MacMillan and then hitting a jumper after a well-executed set. The latter shot cut the lead to 28-15 with 4:25 left in the third quarter.
Sanford didn't score again until 2:33 remained in the game.
Sanford played without starter Janelle Cannon, a senior who specializes in defense and rebounding. Cannon suffered an ankle sprain in Wednesday's practice and was on crutches. Parent said she expects Cannon to be able to play again in a week, but her absence was felt.
"That was a mental thing for us. She's our fifth starter. She rebounds well and gives us depth in the post," Parent said. "She goes down while we're preparing for Deering and it's like, 'Whoa, what are we going to do?'"

With the Rice Lake Lazy Days of Summer Bonspiel taking place this weekend, I guess we can say that the new curling season has begun. The break between the Poynette Spring Sticks 'n Stones, and the Rice Lake Summerspiel, is the largest break between WSCA events, so this is as good a time as any to declare the new curling season. The WSCA website has a new fresh look, and the Poynette Fall Leagues are getting set on Sept. 8. Another year of Good Curling Everyone!
When the 12 teams take to the ice on Saturday, Mar. 28 in Halifax, NS for the Men's World Curling Championship, there will be a Wisconsin connection on the US Men's team. Two members of the five person team hail from the Madison area and curl in the Madison Curling Club.
The Sean Murray team claimed their third consecutive Wisconsin Mixed Championship on the ice of the Waupaca Curling Club, on Mar. 1. Curling with Murray are Heather Betzhold, Dan Wiza and Paige Caulum. The team amassed a winning record of 5-1 in a field of four teams.
Murray and his team head to Blaine, Minnesota for the National Mixed Championship which starts on Mar. 28. The Murray team will be tabbed as one of the favorites, having made the playoffs last year in Wisconsin Rapids.
The site of the WSCA Spring Meeting has been moved to the Arlington Curling Club. Same time and date as originally scheduled.

Turns out, according to Phone Scoop, that Version 1.3.8 — which remains Android 1.5, by the way — accidentally was pushed out to about 600 people and was only available for 15 minutes or so. Battery life, screen sensitivity and GPS are said to have been improved somewhat. No word yet on when any update will be made available again. [Motorola forums via Phonescoop]

Anything can be rethought
Rethinking is happening with classical music right now. Going to the symphony is a fine thing, no doubt. But it is an undertaking. Get dressed up, file in, stay silent, clap at only the prescribed moment, file out. Most people are, quite honestly, nervous at the symphony. And it isn't really a natural way for many of us to enjoy music. No talking, no drinks, feeling uncomfortable and uninformed.
The folks at Fringe are changing that. I went to my first Fringe event on Saturday, and I was completely blown away. Its was laid-back and cool. There was beer, wine, and finger food. People clapped when they felt inspired by the music. We wore jeans. The musicians wore jeans. There was art and DJs before, during and after the event. Short movies and documentaries about the performers before the shows. And, like at any great concert, an obvious connection between the musicians and the audience. Rather than a room full of frozen penguins staring at a stageful of frozen penguins, there were just artists and music lovers. Smiling, clapping, and just generally having an awesome time. Fringe transformed classical music from something you do to feel adult, to something you do for fun.
It was an interesting lesson in how to rethink anything. Anything at all.

Who are you?
Everyone knows your weaknesses.
Or your quirks. Or your strengths. The truth is, you rarely fool anyone (Which is why people like people who are just themselves. Watching a charade is exhausting).
I learned this again last week in a most unusual way. My girlfriend threw a surprise party for my 40th birthday. But not just any surprise party – a roast.
All manner of speeches, videos, props, pictures, and jokes were levied. From my very oldest friends, to my very newest. Truthfully, it was the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me, and might well go down as the best night of my life.
But the striking thing was that every speech, joke, video, and prop was a caricature of what I thought were my most obscure personality traits. Phrases, thoughts, values, and mannerisms that I think of as relatively minor, and figured probably went mostly unnoticed. 25 years of friends – some of whom I have not seen in 20, some of whom I've known for less than one – pulling out the exact same stuff.
Turns out, it's those things that make up much of the core of what makes me different – and thus – define me to my friends.
I think this applies to companies as well. I think company leaders have a tendency to focus on the big things that define them: Products and performance and such. All important of course. But I bet it's safe to say that the accolades, or the complaints, or the jokes about a company probably come from the little things. The little things that you do all of the time but don't think about. How the phone is answered, how clean the bathroom is, how you react to certain requests. Most likely, once you have a customer ( just like once you have a friend), the big things take on a much smaller role, and the small things become defining.
Let us all learn somehow from my night of personal humiliation!
And thank you to everyone who made Saturday possible. Especially you Krystin.
But also to you Homer, Angie, Stacy, Lisa, Harlan, Caroline, Dave, Julie, Sergio, Evan, Marie, Tony, Diane, Cyndi, Nathan, Joe, Rich, Flo, April, Morris, Eli, Jason, Abigail, Patrick, Gretchen, Matt, John, Haley, Larisa, Beth and the many others who could not make it but were there in spirit.
Oh, and another thought for you, my dear friends…
Watch your backs, bitches.
I am so powerful
Well, not really. But the blogosphere is!
Sony changes their mind for the better.

The Jean Ledwith King Women's Center of Southeastern Michigan The Jean Ledwith King Women's Center of Southeastern Michiga...
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
Dedicated to emotional and economic self determination for women, girls, and families.
The Jean Ledwith King Women's Center of Southeastern Michigan, established in 2000, is dedicated to emotional and economic self-determination for women, girls, and families. We are a small, but thriving nonprofit. We provide counseling, financial, legal, and job-related services to over 500 women and girls (and some men) a year.
Women and men come to us from seven counties in Southeastern Michigan covering a radius of about 45 to 50 miles. Over half are supporting young children, and many are doing it on their own. Sixty percent make $20,000 or less per year, and 37 percent earn $10,000 or less. Most are uninsured. For this reason, we offer services on a sliding-scale basis; fees range from $0 - $15 per workshop/session. Most people start with personal counseling and move into other programs as they gain self-confidence and begin to identify their options.
In 2003, we were recognized by Nonprofit Enterprise at Work for Excellence in Management for New Organizations and for Internet Technology Innovation for "Many Happy Returns." In 2005, we received the Washtenaw County Bar Association's "I Have a Dream" award for "fostering greater awareness and sensitivity to racial, ethnic and gender bias issues." Also in 2005, the Ann Arbor Women's City Club chose us as "Charity of the Year."

"Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time." - Thomas Merton
What do you do when you have a few extra minutes and want to create something? I usually make a few ATCs or then cards. Somehow scrapbooking layouts to me require more time even though I'm a fast scrapper, but all the other papercrafts make up a great though clearer!
I've shared these cards before at Canvas Corp's blog.
I've shared these cards before at Canvas Corp's blog.
To these two cards I used little scraps of patterned papers I had on my craft table. A great combination - to create something and to use those little pieces of paper into something useful! I just layered them randomly, mixing different patterns. I kept the color palette somewhat limited so that the end result wouldn't be too busy.
After creating the backgrounds I still needed the vocal points to the cards. The texts I cut from an art related Canvas Corp paper. The main elements, the hearts, I cut free hand from two patterned papers and glazed over with Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze. To finish the cards I added a few stickers and some thread. The thread brings some extra texture and also softness to the cards.
Wishing you an artful day!

Reflections on a Cool Community Forum
This week's CoolCleveland has a great wrap-up to the Cool Community Forum held last Thursday in the Louis Stokes Auditorium at the Cleveland Public Library. There are photos, there are comments, there are lists of issues and comments and questions. And, of course, there's a link to the Meet.The.Bloggers podcast to give those of you unable to attend the chance to listen and comment even now.
Sometimes, I react quickly to a participatory event like this, and although I had an immediate reaction of accomplishment and satisfaction, I decided that since we wanted to know if this collaboration between Cool Cleveland, Brewed Fresh Daily, and Meet.The.Bloggers could add a dimension to the civic dialogue, I felt the need for reflection rather than reaction. In retrospect, I believe that we achieved what we wanted to accomplish. We added a dimension missing in the public discourse in our county.. I believe that this will become even more apparent with the advent of the first of two public hearings put on by the County Commissioners. We need what we did last week badly. Everyday people need to feel engaged with the public process. By everyday, I in no way mean ordinary.
The people who took time to attend the forum and offer their questions, comments, and suggestions for a more reasoned look at the Medical Mart/Convention Center were in no way ordinary. Rather, they were extraordinary in the reasoning they employed to come up with the questions they had on how the rush to slap a 1/4% sales tax without documentation and plans seemed like a equation for a train wreck. Dennis Roche, exective director of the Convention and Visitor's Bureau commented that he was encouraged that a convention center had not been dismissed out of hand, but rather people thought it could be a good idea, but the method of funding and how to get there needed more planning.
Before the forum, there was a discussion on Brewed Fresh Daily concerning community forums vs. mob rule. I am proud to say that what transpired in that auditorium in the Public Library was anything but mob rule. Thomas Mulready questioned whether people would feel that they had had their say when it appeared that the flow of the conversation was pretty mellow, and not fevered at all. I think the ebb and flow of the get together shows the seriousness of the issue for those who attended, the tone of the voices were measured and deliberate so that the "powers that be" can see that the public is determined to know the path. No longer will the voters of Cuyahoga County be led down the yellow brick road with the promise of "OZ" at the end. We want to know where we are going, why we are going and when we will get there.
Of course, it is a bit Pollyannaish to believe that we can predict the future. I know we can't, but I believe in Winston Churchhill's words Plans are useless, but planning is essential. That appears to be the problem with this latest Jimmy and Timmy scheme, where is the planning? Where is thoughtful consideration to many possibilities? Certainly it is not being done in an open and transparent way. It has all the appearance of backroom shenanigans again.
And when we walked away from the forum last week, this is what we knew. Two of the County Commissioners want to raise our sales tax 1/4% without a vote because they surmise that it would not pass if it was taken to the people for a vote. How do they know this? Do they have a crystal ball? Or is it easier and faster to get a $42 million "slush" fund per year for 10 years this way rather than selling it to the people as Councilman Zack Reed said so eloquently. So, now we have half of the $42 million slotted for the medical mart/convention center and the other $21 million for "other" projects. What projects? There has been no discussion of what these other projects would be? So here is what we have–the taxpayers will be in for $420 million. How do we know this is the amount? Where are the projections? Where is the research? And then, where is the business plan for the medical mart/convention center? Where is the guarantee that this will even happen? Oh wait, if it doesn't happen the tax will be rescinded. When has that ever happened? Remember the other projects will still be waiting in the wings.
Not an investor or a banker in their right mind wouuld sign on as a proponent of this idea There would be a demand for figures, plans, projections, alternatives, but we the county taxpayers are simply to "trust" in our elected officials to do what is in our best interest. We are not as clueless as our elected officials would have us believe. We have much more knowledge than we are given credit for knowing. Or maybe they do know we know, they just don't want to hear it because then they would have to deal with it. i am looking forward to tomorrow's public hearing to see and hear what we will be told.
I believe that a shift is happening. That the public does want to know what is happening with their tax dollars. That the public is interested in the future of our county and our region. In fact, I think the public believes in our region more than our elected officials and businesspeople do. The appearance of what is happening at the hands of these people right now would support the supposition that our region is on a downward spiral that cannot be reversed and that those in power are working feverishly to amass as much as possible as quickly as possible at the expense of the many.
I for one believe "we ain't down yet" to quote the Unsinkable Molly Brown. There is a lot of life left here in Northeast Ohio, and in fact, a lot of new life is being injected into our region. The Cool Community Forum is a product of that life. Our task is to take it beyond the internet and to the many rather than the few. If we truly are to change the paradigm, we need to grow these forums and continue to add to the community that attend them reaching more and more people as we circle throughout Northeast Ohio. The beauty of these forums is the ability to live long after the hour and a half face to face meeting when people can meet and discuss, download and listen, write and discuss. If each and every one of us believes that we can be the change that we want to see in the world we can do this. The collective wisdom theory can work to our advantage and make us a global leader in the new knowledge economy. We can no longer look to others for leadership. We need to lead in our own individual way to change the thought processes in our region. I so often paraphrase Margaret Mead's words "make no mistake about it, a few committed individuals can change the world, indeed it is all that ever has" that I feel that they are my own. I hope that she would be pleased and not offended because after all, imitation is the best form of flattery.

I understand that at yesterday's (July 19th) uncool community forum with the commissioners in the same Stokes auditorium, Tim Hagan told Jeff Buster his time was up, after Jeff mentioned racketeering or gangsterism or some other such truncation of the public process. Jeff was the only person who got this treatment of all the people opposed to being co-opted on this tax-increase issue. Also, I understand the PD grossly overstated the attendance and understated the proportion of the opposition. This seems to be a propaganda move. What's going on here? What's at stake here?
Gloria, it's taken me a while to get to this but I had to tell you how proud I was to turn on my evening news and see you speaking at the forum. You did us all proud!

The key law of quality action is the law of mental object. This law suggests that you always do in a way consistent near your values.
It's in reality drastically guileless. If you allow you can drive a bicycle, you can. Even if you can't ride a bicycle, as perennial as you judge you can, you can; you will all the time keep on after toppling until you can actually ride. Even conversely we are all confident of awheel a bicycle, onetime you allow you can't, you simply can't!
The one and the same philosophy applies to all other values in our life span. If you allow you can drive a car, be creative, set goals, gawp beautiful, get a consultant, a primary charge per unit governor at an account firm or an able unit troublemaker at a big software company, be competent to invent a fool-proof marketing strategy, sale well, negotiate, be a leader, read between the lines the trade and industry implications of a business, govern your farm animals well, even bring in millions, etc., you will in truth do all these things and more.Post ads:

On the contrary, if you undergo from a self-limiting cognitive content that you simply can't do it, you ne'er will. Even if your deduction may not be based on utter fact; you simply won't be able to do it. I have witnessed this in immeasurable women. Their pessimistic idea in the region of themselves change state their biggest impediments in existence.
Fact is that as agelong as you agree to you can, you will form all the necessary pains. You will afterwards dangle on to that belief, contempt setbacks, until your attitude become your truth -- your self-fulfilling prognostication.
Think active one situation that you completely can't do without. Do you assume you can have it? If not, what are your reasons? Stop, hold-up and analyse (but do not overanalyze) what is retaining you support from unleashing the all-powerfulness of that image into your existence. Then do whatsoever is requisite to agnise that hallucination because unrealised dreams can be same those bodily function sores in our lives that will always tender you torment and discomfort. They will come with back to favourite place you once again and again, like-minded the resurrected ghosts from an exhumed noncurrent. Get out of that status quick and now.Post ads:

Once you have identified the viewpoint and assumptions that are holding you back, you can use this rumour to displace yourself fore on the narrow road to your goals and elysian dreams. The key here is to in recent times take behaviour. This is wherever peak of us women in America dribble short. We mightiness have a sneaking suspicion that we acknowledge something, but we never payoff dealing. Who cares what others think? Just beginning attractive staircase to be yourself and let your individuality reproductive structure.
Fortunately, you can use the one and the same right of self-fulfilling anticipation that quondam control you support to raise your assurance and uttermost attraction cause to massively amplification the odds of your success in everything that you want to do and effectuate in your go. So, ample of struggling next to life's struggles; adequate of overanalyzing everything; adequate of struggling to fit it; ample of unremittingly examination yourself to different women; enough of disconcerting in the order of devising a artificial pas; enough of self-sabotage; enough of imprisoning yourself when you eat that juicy dessert; and most significantly decent of hard to fix yourself!
Yes, it's circumstance to clutches your narcissistic pleasures and interior happiness! You deserve it. Now, I'm not telling you to go to immoderation. This approach is a state of affairs of the gone based upon your apologetic philosophy and movements. Moderation and crop growing of your travels and state is the key. Complete calmness all over your noesis and thing is no longer compulsory. Be trustworthy in who you are and bear out up without acknowledgment. Make choices that are truly substantive to you.
Are you lame for it?

The more updates and algorithm changes Google makes, the harder it becomes for a small business owner to maintain a productive and profitable website. If you find yourself in this quandary, the following SEO tips may be just what you need to get your enterprise back in the game.
1. SEO is important, so do what you can to maintain high rankings. Optimize title tags, use relevant keywords and be sure your site loads speedily for customer convenience. A professional website designer can help you tune up your site so that it is attractive and fully functional.
2. Focus on producing content with value that will appeal to your target audience. Good content keeps people on the site; Google notices this and takes it into account when determining a site's ranking. Good content also gets shared, liked, re-posted and passed on to others.
3. While purchasing backlinks was a common practice in the past, it is almost certain to lower a site's rankings today. A business owner who wants good backlinks should stick to using acceptable link building strategies such as using content websites, posting comments on relevant blogs and forums, etc.
4. Looking for and getting rid of bad links is also very important. To start with, ask the webmaster of the offending site to remove the unwanted link. If this does not work, then use online tools that are made to help business owners clear up a bad link profile.
5. Build community using sites such as Facebook and Twitter. These sites have been unaffected by Google's numerous updates and are a great platform for small businesses that want to reach current and potential customers. These sites can be used to provide regular updates, special deal offers and helpful information related to the company's products and/or services.
6. Some business owners fall into the trap of creating content primarily for search engines. This is almost always a bad idea. Instead, create content that the target audience will want to read and pass on to others. This is what will earn high rankings long term.
7. A company that hires an SEO consultant should be aware of what the consultant is doing. Read the report and check not only the progress made but the methods being used to boost site rankings.
While there is no magic solution to dealing with Google's many algorithm changes, there are a number of things you can do to successfully promote a site online. Good SEO, using social networking sites properly and good content are just a few of the many things that will establish a site online and help a business owner earn a well deserved high ranking on Google.

Indian Notes: Skim Milk, Anybody?
by R. Saheb
Here is a perfect example of the loosey-goosey inaccurate attitude to knowledge prevalent in old cultures, here India. Their epistemology, if you will.
Like a respectable New Yorker, I began my trip to Bombay with a hunt for skim milk. It was like turning up a hornet's nest. "This is skim milk, with no fat", I was told by every vendor for every milk carton I perused. And they would have staked their reputation on it. When challenged they downgraded to "This has very little fat". Sill later, clutching at straws, they announced how everybody else referred to this particular item as 'skim milk'.
India produces the most milk in the world; 91,940,000 tonnes as compared to 80,264,510 tonnes produced by the US. But remember, there are over a billion Indians to consume this bounty. Dairy has always been big in the Indian culture, ever since, the Aryans migrated over 3000 years ago from the Caucasus Mountains along with their cows. Indians drink Water Buffalo milk. It has over 8% fat, compared to cow's milk which has 3.9% fat. Obese urban Bombayites who wish to lose weight, start drinking cow's milk under the impression that it is low fat milk. Comparatively speaking, it is. Speaking in absolute terms, it is not.
Another item masquerading as skim milk is 'tonal milk'. After spending over ½ hour online, browsing various dictionaries, agriculture sites and dairy companies, I haven't been able to come up with its definition. But staking my word (an educated guess actually), in the Indian fashion, I don't think it is skim milk.
Finally, I resorted to the good old (now obsolete) American method of 'Be American, Buy American'. I searched for supermarkets stocked with American goods, once a rarity in Bombay, and purchased the elusive skim milk. This time I did not wait to ask anybody if it really was skim milk, but relied in the integrity of the manufacturer when he announced it on the packaging.

To the World Diabetes Day of the World Diabetes Day should be cause, to point out the dangers posed by one of the largest people disease of modern man. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) has the adult-onset diabetes (diabetes mellitus type II) in the meantime assumed the proportions of a global epidemic. In Germany, approximately every 10 diabetes is ill. Increasing trend. The efforts for prevention, early detection and treatment are so to increase in order to meet this modern epidemic of people. While each is asked to make that risk factors that cause of the metabolic syndrome of the pre-diabetes to manifest diabetes, can be countered specifically his lifestyle.
The most important to be addressed risk factors are obesity, high blood pressure, lipid disorders and elevated blood sugar levels. These risk factors increase the likelihood of not only to adult-onset diabetes, but also for a number of diseases such as atherosclerosis, heart attack and stroke with responsible. What can you do to defuse the ticking time bomb and the diabetes and risk of attack to minimize? It is obvious that these risk factors can be influenced by a change of lifestyle and dietary behaviour cheap. In addition, also in herbal products such as DiVitum capsules can provide assistance. Included are the herbal ingredients of cinnamon extract and glucomannan. Both can intervene positively regulating in the sugar and fat metabolism, as demonstrated by current research. For cinnamon and cinnamon extract was the United States noted in a very recent analysis of the scientific work by nutritionists from, that they reduce the important fasting blood sugar value of diabetics as well as pre diabetes. The long-term control of blood glucose levels is as important for the prevention and treatment of diabetes mellitus. This is done with insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents. But here too the natural product cinnamon in addition plays a role.

Pre-K thru 8 April 9, 2010
Excitement was running high April 9th as students from the elementary school, junior/senior high and St. Mary's School were on hand to witness the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Pre-K - 8 school.
The administration wanted this day to be about the kids and several of the students were called on to help turn the dirt that had been specially placed outside the construction zone as work continues on the site.
The building project which is scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2011, started 10 years ago when the Board of Education and School Administrators secured funding through a bond issue and the Expedited Local Partnership to construct the high school on East River Street through the Ohio High School Facilities Commission.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – The Humane Society Of The United States is sounding the alarm on what it said is a highly disturbing investigation involving dogs.
The organization found that dog fur is being used in products ordered online, although it's illegal, and is worried that the cruelty behind the products may be more widespread than anyone knows.
Patrick Kwan of The Humane Society Of The United States led a two-year investigation into the sale of dog fur. Acting on a tip, the society ordered items online from a Queens company.
Lab analysis confirmed that the fur came from a dog, even though dog-fur use has been outlawed since 2000.
"Unfortunately, 12 years later now, we're seeing dog fur being openly sold and advertised here in the United States," Kwan told CBS 2's Jessica Schneider.
Kwan said that the fur is imported from China, and that previous investigations uncovered the horrific conditions that these dogs were subjected to.
"These animals are put into tiny cages," Kwan explained. "They are beaten, and unfortunately we have found over and over again that these animals are actually skinned alive."
Schneider showed the products to people on the street, and they did not go over well.
"Animals are pets, not clothes!" one woman said.
"It's just crazy to think that they're killing dogs," another woman added. "They're such lovely animals."
Kwan said that clothing which uses dog fur is usually not labeled as such, so its hard for consumers to know — especially because dog fur's low prices rival the cost of fake fur.
"Many times consumers assume that just because a product is cheap, it must be faux fur," Kwan said. "But unfortunately, we found over and over again that that's not always the case."
The Humane Society Of The United States said that U.S. Customs shut down this one operation, but they are concerned that more are out there, and they're urging the feds to step in.
"The United States Attorneys' Office needs to enforce the law and send a thorough and strong message that this cruelty will not be tolerated," Kwan said.
The United States Attorneys' Office had no comment, but U.S. Customs confirmed that it did shut down the website in May.
How disturbed are you about this revelation? Will it be in the back of your mind the next time you order a fur product online? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below…

Vidéo : Street Fighter V - Alex Trailer
Fan favourite Alex is back! After he made his first appearance in Street Fighter III back in 1997, he hits the streets again as a brash grappler whose bold attitude often gets him into trouble. His parents died while he was still young, so he was raised by his father's friend who taught him everything he knows about fighting.

When I was choosing a language to take in middle school, a lot of people suggested Latin. They said it would give me a good base knowledge of language. French sounded much cooler to me at the time and I didn't understand the concept of base knowledge.
This is what I remember, when our customers ask about pop-ups, alerts, or anything that creates an immediate panic, because they don't understand the reason for it. Would an IT education help them answer their question? Absolutely! But in lieu of that, base knowledge can help you remain calm in an unknown situation. If you're part of one of our Network Assurance programs, we already take care of regular maintenance items for you. If you're not on one of the programs, would you recognize if an update is from a reputable operating system or program you already use? Do you know when your computer is scheduled to install updates, which may temporarily cause a disruption in the speed of your system?
When in doubt, ALWAYS ASK US! I'm not saying base knowledge or logic should ever replace a professional assessment, but they can give you a small amount of comfort while you're dialing our phone number. When I needed to know the meaning of the words under my college crest for a senior paper, I asked someone who took Latin. But when I was learning my way around campus in my freshman year, seeing that emblem carved next to the doors meant I was at least headed into the right building.
Thanks for your business and make it a great day!
Warm Regards,

In Sonia's new house, her dresser doesn't fit inside her closet and thus sits out in the open. Erin decided that the dresser needed a dresser scarf to protect it, and I hunted down some cute purple fat quarters and yardage to get the job done. I sort of improvised a more modern-looking design (since country chic isn't exactly Erin's style) and came up with this.
It's about 40" long and 16" wide. I had all sorts of issues getting the plain fabric not to look all puckery, but Erin assures me no one will notice once there are a few knick knacks strategically placed on top.
I quilted the plain parts with rows 1/4" apart. I also chose to zig zag the final stitching on the binding because I wanted to make triple sure that I would catch the back (which was baaaaaaaaarely wide enough). It doesn't look too bad, actually.
See those darn puckers and folds? Grrrrrr. I'm sure an experienced quilter could tell me what I was doing wrong. I did starch the fabric first and I used spray basting to stick the pieced top to the batting (which was felt). It was looking puckery even before I quilted it. Oh well. Just look at it from far away and squint a little and it looks fine!
I used my quarter inch foot for the first time and it was awesome! I still need more practice with it, but hopefully this will help with my seam allowance issues.
I will be bringing this to Texas when we fly there on July 5th, and I hope to take a picture of it in place on the dresser then.

On March 29th, E became 21 months old and C turned 15 weeks old.
E can now say 7 words! Here are the words he can say: daddy, mommy (but he pronounces it mumee), baby, ba ba, dig for digger, yes, byebye.
We believe E has somewhat entered what is known as the 'terrible twos.' We are attempting to help E deal with his emotions in a few different avenues. The first is through books! We have started reading to E "Ilama Ilama Mad at Mama" by Anna Dewdney, "Be Gentle" by Virginia Miller, and "The Bad Mood" by Moritz Petz. We thought this might help E since he loves to sit and be read to ALL the time!
Nothing new in the teeth department. He still has 9 teeth.
We bought E a pair of gum boots (what I've always called galoshes) with diggers and trucks on it. He loves them and insists on wearing them all the time.
Jeff and I had to give E a banana in order for him to sit here long enough for the photo to be taken.
This past week C has started sucking on his hands, esp the left hand. He is also holding onto his tops with his left hand. However, he holds toys better in his right hand.
C fits into one newborn shirt, all 0-3 month, 3 months, and some 3-6 month clothes. He, just like his brother, needs long, skinny onesies instead of the fat and short onesies. We have found that Carters are really good for that.
His cradle cap is mostly gone! We are still working on his dry skin. It's getting better though.
Smiley boy.
And just for fun:

Tom Lyden grills Archbishop Nienstedt on his sexuality and anti-gay views [VIDEO]
Last week, embattled Archbishop John Nienstedt did the media rounds, granting one-on-one interviews to most local outlets. (Our invitation must've gotten lost in the mail...)
Fox 9 reporter/anchor Tom Lyden's interview with the archbishop was especially noteworthy. Lyden, who's married to a man he's been in a relationship with for more than two decades, grilled Nienstedt about his own sexuality and anti-gay views. The line of questioning culminated in the archbishop acknowledging that his beliefs about the sinfulness of same-sex sexual relations don't seemingly make much sense at all.

Archbishop John Nienstedt steps aside amid allegation he touched boy's buttocks
Here's a transcript of the portion of Lyden's interview that came right after Nienstedt denied being homosexual or ever having partaken in homosexual relations, followed by the raw video:
Nienstedt: I'm not against gays. I look at all individuals [as] children of God and they deserve the respect and the dignity of their personhood.
Lyden: That's not what you said about Brokeback Mountain the movie. You came out pretty strongly about that being an immoral movie.
N: I was critical of the movie, yes. I don't know if I used the word 'immoral.'
L: And yet that seems to contradict what you're telling me now, your criticism of that movie.
N: The church makes a clear distinction between someone who would have an attraction that would be same sex and the behavior itself.
L: So when you say you have nothing against homosexuals, you have nothing against homosexuals as long as they're not having sex.
N: We believe, correctly, that sexual relations take place within the context of a committed marriage relationship.
L: And yet the church is opposed to marriage and you fought gay marriage.
N: I didn't fight gay marriage. I fought for marriage as a traditional understanding of a union between a man and a woman.
L: I don't want to get too off the rails on this issue, and yet there is a contradiction here that I don't think can be denied. On the one hand, you said you're not against homosexual relations as long as they take place in the confines of a marriage, a committed relationship--
N: I didn't say homosexual... [sex is to take place] within the context of a marriage relationship between a man and a woman.
L: Okay. What about homosexuals?
N: Homosexuals need to lead chaste lives.
L: They need to lead celibate lives?
N: Well, yes.
L: Okay. Does that seem reasonable to you, that we should all lead the lives of priests?
N: Well... um...
L: Tell me, archbishop, why should I lead the life of a priest?
A: Because it is of your nature to, um, express yourself sexually through a committed relationship.
L: I am. I've been with the same partner and husband now for 21 years.
Later, Lyden, referring to that exchange, told Nienstedt: "It does not seem to make sense to me as I sit here, what you've just laid out."
"I can understand that, yes," Nienstedt replied.
Asked whether he'd like to clarify anything, Nienstedt asserted, "Well, I think that as we look at the way God made us, God made us to express ourselves sexually between a man and a woman in a committed married relationship."
But the issue Lyden did such a tremendous job highlighting is that the archbishop can't muster good reasons why any thinking person should take heed of "the way God made us" beyond blind deference to Catholic dogma.

Whatz with the jiji otaku audience screaming all the time? きもい/Kimoi creapazoids!ReplyDelete
Thank you Joe. I have seen that kind of audience participation at other live shows for other Japanese bands in Tokyo. Well, I'm not sure but I believe it is a kind of backup chant that the hard-core fans/fan clubs create in order to be a part of the music. Indeed, it is quite a unique and enthusiastic form of fan support.ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for your effort posting this article. I love reading this and I'm pretty sure that it will help me make a wonderful output. God bless! I have also an article YouTube Dance Videos that you might be interested too.ReplyDelete
Oh good to read it here.ReplyDelete

Tidbits : New Skirt !
It was fantastic to meet Bai again on the fair in Amsterdam last Sunday; she is such a sweet girl and it was like meeting a friend again. She sold very well at the fair, especially her gorgeous skirts. I was dying to get one too, seeing all those lovely
slim people fitting in her skirts. Then she promized me to make one in XL for me and I received it yesterday. I am so happy with it; it fits perfectly ! Have a look at all her other lovely creations in her ThongbaiTatong shop on Etsy.

VBS: Bible BOOT Camp is next week! Whitney and Kristy wanted some photos of all the props and other items they've prepared for the week, so I just went lose with my camera in their office for about half an hour (yes, there's that much stuff!). This is one of my favorite shots of the well (we're raising $2000 to help build a well in Western Kenya).

Fine Joins Mintz Levin's Corporate & Securities Section
Continuing the expansion of its Corporate & Securities Section, Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. announced that Gregory Fine has joined the firm as a member, based in Boston.
Formerly of Ropes & Gray, Fine specializes in private equity financings and mergers and acquisitions, with a particular focus on the middle-market. He also has experience with venture capital financings and with mergers and acquisitions involving both publicly and privately held companies.
"Greg has developed significant expertise in a range of middle-market transactional matters," said Peter Demuth, chairman of the Corporate & Securities Section. "As we continue to expand our private equity and mergers and acquisition practices and strengthen the depth and breadth of our capabilities, he will make an outstanding, strategic addition to our team."
Earlier in his career, Fine was a supervising engineer with the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management where he supervised the Rhode Island Remediation Program and Brownfields Redevelopment Program.

Discover Your Sound
At Breedlove Guitars, our Mission is to help you sound better, play better and enjoy playing more. We make a variety of guitars for many different playing styles, applications - not to mention various sounds and tones. Finding your Breedlove can be a little tricky at first, so we've created this section to help you hone in on your Breedlove. We've also created this simple digital guide with additional information to help you discover the Breedlove guitar that is right for you. While there are many factors which might influence your guitar selection, here are a few of the most common items to consider.
Body Shape
Guitars come in various sizes and shapes. As a general rule, the larger the body, the bigger the sound. But with Breedlove's Sound Optimization, all three proprietary body shapes provide a profound, full sound. So, the choice should be made according to the size and design that feels most comfortable to you. You can sort guitars below by body shape. Additionally, you can learn more about each body shape by visiting our body shapes page.
The world's forests provide a variety of tonewoods that produce a broad palate of sounds. The two most commonly used traditional woods for guitar backs and sides are mahogany and rosewood. At Breedlove, through our Sound Optimization™ process, we have perfected the application of a broad array of exotic woods for guitar backs and sides (learn more). Preparing each of these to their own music dimension enables a variety of tonal balance and projection.
The most commonly used top wood is Sitka spruce, preferred for its high strength to weight ratio and robust sound. Breedlove has branched out to achieve playing style and tonal variety by using Sound Optimization™ in top woods (learn more). Typically, lower-priced guitars are built with a combination of mahogany and Sitka spruce. Rosewood instruments are more expensive. Guitars crafted with exotic woods will be the most expensive. You can sort guitars by tonewood below.
Made in Bend, Oregon vs Designed in Bend.
The finest crafted Breedlove guitars are made in the United States – we build our USA models in Bend, Oregon. The retail prices begin at $1,500 and go as high as $10,000. All of our USA built guitars are crafted with all solid woods, one-piece necks, and African ebony fretboards and Delta pinless bridges. Different from other production guitar companies, we individually sand all our tops to their ideal thinness and match them to a back selected and refined by using frequency analysis for optimizing the sound. Of course, this hand voicing makes our USA crafted instruments more expensive to build, results in giving your music better sound, and makes your guitar more enjoyable to play. The USA-made models include: The custom shop and Custom Masterclass, Legacy, Premier, Frontier, Oregon and USA Series.
Breedlove also designs guitars which we have built in a contract factory in Asia. While using the design features that make Breedloves play and sound better, we can offer them at lower prices – from $299 - $1,199. While all Breedlove guitars are crafted with all solid wood tops, our instruments priced at $799 and below are built with laminated wood back and sides. These guitars cost less to produce, yet deliver great sound. Being more dependable, laminate wood back and sides have the advantage of being less sensitive to changes in air temperature and humidity and are therefore commonly used by musicians on-the-go. These models include: Stage Exotic, Stage, Solo, Pursuit Exotic, Pursuit and Discovery Series. You can sort guitars by series below.

Although this is not baking related I still want to share. Pâte de Fruits are french sweets. They are made from fruit puree, hence they could be different colours. Each bright colour cube covers with sugar, how can you resist?
It was my first time to make these. Honestly they weren't perfect because I didn't cook long enough and they still contained too much water content, as a result the texture was too soft. Again a lessen learnt – be patient, be patient and be patient! Here I used mango puree, but you can use any other fruit puree in the same quantity. Warning: they contain high level of sugar, so don't eat too many!!! 🙂
Mango Pâte de Fruits
- 500g mango puree
- 12g pectin
- 500g+50g caster sugar, plus more for coating
- 100g honey
- 40g lemon juice
- Line a baking tray with a piece of baking paper or a silicon mat. Put a 27cm x 14cm rectangle mousse ring on top.
- Heat up the mango puree in a sauce pan to 50℃.
- Mix the pectin and 50g sugar, add to the mango puree. Continue to cook it until it is boiling and cook for another minute. Add 550g sugar and cool until it is boiling. Add the honey and cook until the mixture reach 107℃.
- Turn off the heat and add the lemon juice and mix well. Pour the mixture into the prepared mousse ring. Leave it completely cool down at room temperature.
- When it is firm up, put some sugar on top so it is not sticky and it is easier to cut. Remove the mousse ring, use a knife to cut the pâte de fruits into 3cm x 3cm cubes. Coat them with sugar.

Trump hits back at Jay-Z after rapper dismissed his claims about black unemployment
President Trump hit back at Jay-Z on Sunday morning after the hip-hop star dismissed Trump taking credit for the record low African-American unemployment rate.
"Somebody please inform Jay-Z that because of my policies, Black Unemployment has just been reported to be at the LOWEST RATE EVER RECORDED!" the president tweeted, repeating a misleading claim he made earlier this month.
Somebody please inform Jay-Z that because of my policies, Black Unemployment has just been reported to be at the LOWEST RATE EVER RECORDED!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 28, 2018
African American unemployment is the lowest ever recorded in our country. The Hispanic unemployment rate dropped a full point in the last year and is close to the lowest in recorded history. Dems did nothing for you but get your vote! #NeverForget @foxandfriends
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 8, 2018
While it's true African-American unemployment (6.9 percent in December) is now the lowest it has been since at least 1972, when the Bureau of Labor Statistics began tracking that figure, it had fallen precipitously during President Barack Obama's second term (from 13.7 percent to 7.8 percent) — a drop that has continued during Trump's first year in office.
"Trump taking credit for this is like a rooster thinking the sun came up because he crowed," said Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler.
In an interview with CNN's Van Jones that aired Saturday night, Jay-Z — whose birth name is Shawn Carter — said that the numbers don't matter.
"It's not about money at the end of the day," said Carter, whose net worth is estimated to be $810 million. "Money doesn't equate to happiness. It doesn't. That's missing the whole point. You treat people like human beings then — that's the main point."
Carter also criticized the disparaging remarks Trump reportedly made about African countries during an Oval Office meeting on immigration this month.
"It is disappointing and it's hurtful," Carter said. "It really is hurtful, more than so … everyone feels anger. But after the anger, it's real hurtful. It's looking down at a whole population of people, and it's so misinformed because these places have beautiful people and beautiful everything. This is the leader of the free world speaking like this."
Related: Eric Trump: 'My father sees one color — green'
Carter then compared Trump's comments during a closed-door meeting with lawmakers to the racist remarks made by Donald Sterling, the former owner of the Los Angeles Clippers NBA franchise. The NBA banned Sterling for life in 2014 after recordings of his comments were made public — a move Carter also criticized because he says it did not foster a discussion.
"You haven't fixed anything," Carter explained. "What you've done is spray perfume on the trashcan. What you do when you do that is the bugs come and you spray something and you create a superbug. Because you don't take care of the problem; you don't take the trash out. You just keep spraying whatever over it to make it acceptable. Then as those things grow, you create a superbug. And now we have Donald Trump, the superbug."
Carter said he was making the "superbug" comparison in jest, but added that there must be a reason for Trump's history of making racially insensitive remarks.
"Somewhere along his lineage, something happened to him," Carter said. "Something happened to him, and he is expressing it in this sort of way."

It's not the first time Trump has referenced Jay-Z on Twitter.
In 2014, after a surveillance video showing an altercation between Jay-Z and Solange Knowles — the sister of his wife, Beyonce — surfaced, Trump expressed concern about the Grammy award-winning rapper's marriage.
"I really like Jay Z but there is trouble in paradise," Trump tweeted. "When his wife's sister starts whacking him, not good! No help from B leads to a mess."

Edgy England's woes worsen
Australia Under-21 8 for 241 (Healy 45, Cameron 53*) beat England 162 by 52 runs
England's tour of Australia lurched into further trouble in the second warm-up match, this time with a defeat at the hands of Australia Under-21s. Lowly state team Victoria had inflicted a humiliating nine-wicket win in the opener on Friday, while in this match the juniors won by 52 runs after dismissing England for 162 in reply to their 214.
Alyssa Healy (Ian's niece) made 45 and there was a fifty for Jessica Cameron, in her second season for the Shooting Stars, to boost them to 8 for 214 after Rachael Haynes (who had scored a fifty against them in Victoria disguise last week) chose to bat first.
England vice-captain Nicki Shaw was on the receiving end in particular, recording 1 for 52 from nine overs. Stephanie Davies was the best bowler in only her second match, with 2 for 28 from her ten overs, which is one positive England can take away, along with Laura Marsh's 2 for 36.
Nevertheless, the home side's score was below par for this level but proved more than enough as the bowlers, led by Rene Chappell, took regular wickets to shoot out England for 162. The opener Beth Morgan failed again with the bat, making 9. None of England's Australia-ready players particularly shone, in fact: Lydia Greenway notching a nought, a wicketless Jenny Gunn making 13, Isa Guha struck twice but at a cost of 40 from six overs. On the positive side, England are gaining in some confidence and getting match practice as a unit.
England's captain Charlotte Edwards, while pleased with the bowling and fielding, couldn't hide her regret. "We're obviously bitterly disappointed. Our batting was well below-par with some soft dismissals. We were always up with the run-rate, but we didn't establish any decent partnerships until it was too late."
Assistant coach Mark Lane, who arrived late Friday night in lieu of Vince Wells who couldn't make it for personal reasons, added: "We've been knocked down, but it's not how many times you get knocked down, it's how many times you get back up. It's not all doom and gloom - we need to stick together and stand up and be counted. We'll practise really hard tomorrow and come out fighting on Wednesday."
If this is a glimpse into the future, Australia should be assured - like their men they are an enviable factory, thanks in part to their smooth system. As for England's present, there may be one or two worries. They still have one more warm-up on Wednesday but with the first international looming on Friday they must be privately a little concerned.
The side are a positive bunch, however, and will aim to improve again in their next match against the Shooting Stars.
