Careers rarely develop the way we plan them. Our career path often takes many twists and turns, with particular events, choices and people influencing our direction.
We asked Colin Butterly from Construction Industry Federation to give some advice for people considering this job:
For anyone who even vaguely considers a trade or a management job they shouldn't hesitate to pursue it as it can surprise you how capable you can become despite any reservations you may have. It could even introduce you to different roles in the industry that you hadn't realised were available to you or felt where out of your reach.
The Social person's interests focus on interacting with the people in their environment. In all cases, the Social person enjoys the personal contact with other people in preference to the impersonal dealings with things, data and ideas found in other groups. Many will seek out positions where there is direct contact with the public in some advisory role, whether a receptionist or a counsellor. Social people are motivated by an interest in different types of people and like diversity in their work environments. Many are drawn towards careers in the caring professions and social welfare area, whilst others prefer teaching and other 'informing' roles.

Marketers Testing The Water For LeBron James' NBA Post-Season Appearance
By Barry Janoff, Executive Editor
March 20, 2011: One year ago, LeBron James was seen virtually non-stop in marketing between the NBA All-Star Game and the NBA Finals. This season, he has had a relatively non-descript presence in national marketing, having gone from the most-liked to most-hated list due largely to public perception regarding the manner in which he rode free agency out of Cleveland and into Miami.
But with the 2011 NBA playoffs just a month off, James' marketing partners are testing the waters and slowly putting him back into the national mix in preparation for a bigger and more extensive presence.
This past weekend, during the NCAA tournament and on NBA games, State Farm put into regular rotation a national TV spot starring James, his first for the company since he joined the Miami Heat. That, along with a McDonald's spot from last season with James and Dwight Howard that the fast-feeder put back in to rotation, gave viewers a taste of what could come once the NBA playoffs being on April 17.
In February, Sprite broke "Bring Your Court to Life," a TV spot in which James, sporting a Nike "Witness" sweatshirt, is seen playing ball at a neighborhood playground. The campaign, which supports the rebuilding of neighborhood basketball courts nationwide, will be refreshed by the Coca-Cola brand to coincide with the NBA playoffs.
Nike has had some new campaigns this season with James to support shoe releases, most recently at Christmas and the NBA All-Star Game. But James himself has had limited face time and was actually bundled with Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant in the efforts.
James will also be seen nationally via YouTube in a new animated series, The LeBrons, featuring characters inspired by previous Nike commercials.
James earns about $30 million annually from endorsements deals, the most among NBA players. His marketing is handled by LRMR, Cleveland, a company that James formed with his friends.
The new State Farm spot with James, "Magic Jingle: LeBron's Rumble," from Translation, New York, is part of the campaign that has given rise to such catch phrases as "The girl from 4E" and "Can I get a hot tub."
In his spot, James, who has been with State Farm since February 2008, is in need of the company's services. It opens with James standing next to his friend, played by actor Aldis Hodge (currently on TNT's Leverage) and an SUV that has smashed into a mailbox and a statue on a front lawn.
"Call your agent," Hodge says to James. "My agent?" James replies. "You were driving."
"No. It's cool," offers Hodge. He then sings the jingle, "Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there," which, as per the theme of this campaign, causes the State Farm agent to magically appear.
"See what he made me do," Hodge immediately says, pointing to James. "It was him."
That initiates a mini-quarrel between the pair. James retaliates by singing [sort of], "Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there . . . with the world's smallest violin [which appears]. 'Cause this is what I hear when you talk," James says to Hodge as he plays the violin.
Aldis is annoyed. "Can I bet a binky for baby Bron-Bron." Which appears in James' hand. "That's it," exclaims James. "Michael Buffer!"
The legendary boxing announcer pops into the shot and shouts his catch phrase: "Let's get ready to rumble!" At which point boxing gloves appear on James and Hodge's hands. (See the full spot here.)
A companion 15-second spot shot at the same time shows James break-dancing. A voiceover asks: "Why is LeBron dancing? Go to StateFarmNation on Facebook to see more."
Rival Allstate has been running a local radio spot in the Chicago area, "Big Decison," that takes a direct shot at James' decision to bypass the Chicago Bulls in his move from Cleveland to Miami.
In it, actor Dennis Haysbert , the company's spokesperson, says, "Shopping for car insurance. Think of yourself as a free agent with a big decision to make. Should you go where you'll get the most for your money or go with your hometown organization? Or maybe you should team up with one of the best in the business. You won't need months to decide because you can get all three at Allstate. They're from Chicagoland. For Chicagoland." (Hear the full spot.)
During the NCAA tournament, McDonald's has been airing the spot with James and Dwight Howard, which is an updated version of the classic Michael Jordan spot with Larry Bird. It shows the players in an über game of H*O*R*S*E, with a Big Mac and fries as the prize. In the new version, Bird himself appears and walks off with the food.

3 Key Blogging Questions: Question 2Posted by Mark White, Blog Consultant in Corporate Blogging , Internal Communications , Marketing your Blog , Small Business Blogging , Writing your Business Blog
This is part of a 3 part mini-series looking at the planning phase of setting up and starting your business blog.
Each post will focus on one of the 3 key questions that you should have clear answers for as you set up your blog before you start to write it.
Question 2:
Who are you writing for?
Unless you are writing a personal blog, and thats really not what we are dealing with here, then you are writing your blog with a business purpose in mind just as we looked at in the 1st Key Question. This in turn means that you are writing for someone, for an audience, who you are hoping will not only read your blog but react well to its content and to you as the author.
To achieve this, need to be clear about this audience – your readers – and what they are going to expect from you and from your blog. You'll also need to know how best to go about getting those reactions and building on them. This knowledge needs to influence every aspect of your blog including:
- what your blog looks like
- the content of your blog
- the style of how you write it
- the length and frequency of the posts
- how you elicit comments and feedback
- Read: first of all you need to create subject matter which will encourage people to visit your blog and then read what youre writing about.
- Return: once they have visited for the first time, you have the opportunity to give your readers something theyll wish to read more of, hence encouraging then to return to your blog.
- Reply: you are looking to encourage dialogue and communication so you must find subjects and a style which encourages them to express an opinion about it and reply to the post.
- Refer: provide your readers with enough compelling, relevant and interesting content and they'll want to recommend it to everyone.
- RSS: encourage them to sign up and receive what you are writing as and when it appears using RSS either directly or via email.
But do remember that different blogs have different aims and therefore very different audiences. An internal blog, for example, will be aimed at talking primarily at employees, while an external blog with a customer support focus will need to provide exact information and specific answers within tight timeframes. Of course, the more than you can prepare for this in advance of starting the blog, the better focused and (probably) more successful it will be.
To take a look at how all elements of a blog come together to fit with the audience it is targeting, Id like to recommend that you take a look at Sony and the two blogs that they launched last year for different parts of their business and for very different audiences.
- 1. The first was the Sony Playstation blog which is heavily branded with a very specific topic range and audience in mind which has been attracted in droves to the site. Everything about the blog caters to this audience, their interests and ultimately the games that they are being encouraged to find out about and buy. Language, content and imagery all support this beautifully.
- 2. The second was the Sony Electronics blog dealing with a very different part of the business, a very different product range and therefore a very different audience in terms of both interests and priorities. The frequency and content were both targeted towards their expected readers and they responded in their own way which, of course, also needed to be handled correctly.
In summary, you need to ensure that you are always encouraging your readers to act on an appropriate aspect of the 5Rs. So, make sure that your business blog has a well defined theme and, once you have decided that, write your posts with it firmly in mind (remember keeping your aims on your monitor). Dont forget to use your RSS reader to keep up to date with what is happening in the areas that your blog covers and keeping offering your opinions on relevant and interesting items in your posts. Finally, keep encouraging feedback from this target audience and make sure that you respond to the comments that your readers leave.

Business alignment and emerging technology the focus of two-day event
BROOKLYN, NY – January 16, 2013 – The Human Capital Institute (HCI) will be hosting its 2013 HCI Workforce Planning & Analytics Conference at the Grand Hyatt Atlanta in Atlanta GA. This two-day event, taking place on February 6-7 with pre-conference workshops on February 5th, will present new trends and insights into the people and technology constituting today's Strategic Workforce Planning landscape. HCI, the global organization global association for strategic talent management, returns to the Grand Hyatt Atlanta after last year's successful Workforce Planning Conference at the same location.
Building on last year's focus on the workforce plan and its implementation, this year's event focuses on the planners themselves, and their tools, skills, and interactions with the organization at large. Whereas slow economic growth and a siphoning of talent might induce caution in other departments, workforce planners must attack the challenge head-on, grappling with talent shortages, low engagement, and inadequate technology. Alignment with an organization's business strategy is an often-difficult, but essential goal for talent managers.
This year's conference seeks to provide solutions in three major parts: Gaining Buy-in, which takes a look at aligning business and financial strategies; Talent Management and Upscaling, which focuses on role segmentation, identifying top performers, acquisition in workforce planning, and HR analytical skills; and Data, Analytics & Technology, regarding actionable data, data convergence and consolidation, and automating the talent lifecycle. Taking a deep dive into each of these three subjects, the 2013 HCI Workforce Planning & Analytics Conference hopes to provide attendees with take-away strategies to be implemented in their own organizations, as well as a new network of like-minded talent professionals to interact with and learn from.
HCI has lined up a roster of thought leaders and talent-minded thinkers to serve as keynotes for this event. Selected as the closing keynote is Bill Rasmussen, Founder of ESPN, whose presentation, "Build Entrepreneurial Capital and Foster Innovation", will challenge every employee to become an entrepreneur no matter their position, as well as impart the story of how ESPN was conceived, funded and launched in only fourteen months.
Also scheduled to speak: Soren Kaplan, author and Managing Principal for InnovationPoint; Mayank Jain, Director, HR Analytics and Reporting for eBay; Russell Klosk, Workforce Planning Leader for Americas, HP; Robert Gibby, Ph.D, Global Leader of the Human Resources Research and Analytics Practice for Procter & Gamble; Lisa Sullivan, VP of Workforce Planning and Analytics for Pearson; Erika Duncan, VP of Human Resources for MetroHealth; Burgette Perkins, Senior HR Business Partner, Kimberly-Clark International; Larry Jacobson, Director of Technology Talent Acquisition for Vistaprint; Tracey Smith, Global Business Strategist for FedEx Corporation; Courtney Abraham, VP of Learning, Change and Talent Management for Winn-Dixie Stores; Karen Hilton, VP of HR for TRX, Inc.; David Eberhardt, Director of HR Strategy and Systems for Devon Energy Corp.; Jason George, HR Data, Reporting, and Analytics Manager for Devon Energy Corp.; Ellen Whittingham, Sr. Director of Business Effectiveness and Talent Management for Carmeuse Lime & Stone; Quinn Thompson, Director, Global Diversity and Talent Acquisition for International Paper Company; Liz Almeida, Workforce Planning and Analytics for Pearson; Bruce Morton, Chief Marketing Officer for Allegis Group Services; Ron Hetrick, Director of Market Research for Allegis Group Services; Mick Collins, Principal Consultant, Workforce Planning and Analytics for SuccessFactors; Peter Howes, Vice President of SuccessFactors; Jaye Tanner, Principal Consultant for SuccessFactors, Inc.; Peter Louch, Founder & CEO of Vemo inc.; and Glen Kallas, Managing Partner for Camden Delta Consulting.
This event is made possible with the participation of multinational and respected organizations, including Premiere Underwriter SuccessFactors, the leading provider of cloud-based business execution software. Other contributing organizations include: Diamond Underwriters Allegis Group Services, Camden Delta, Saba, SkillSurvey, and Vemo; Platinum Sponsors Aruspex and Visier; and Gold Sponsors Aquire, BPI Group, Creative Solutions Services, Deloitte, EDSI Consulting, ManpowerGroup Solutions, McLean Company, Synergy Services, United States Postal Services, and WANTED Analytics.
This conference will also be made available to be viewed via a live streaming weblink for participants unable to travel to Atlanta. Learn more about HCI's Virtual Conference option at http://bit.ly/VHzibA

Iraq leaders feel 'abandoned' by world community
Sunni militants hung their black banners on watch towers at Iraq's largest oil refinery Thursday, suggesting the vital facility had fallen to the insurgents. The Iraq government has now officially asked the U.S. to launch airstrikes.
As Iraqi government leaders said that they feel "abandoned" by the international community, President Obama said Thursday that he is not sending troops to combat militia groups that are taking control of the country's cities.
Obama said he is tasking Secretary of State John Kerry to help find a diplomatic solution and will deploy up to 300 military advisers to provide more intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance to help stop the encroaching militias.
Obama spoke as Sunni militants and government soldiers battle for control of Iraq's largest oil refinery. Both sides are claiming control of the Beiji oil facility about 150 miles north of Baghdad. A witness tells the Associated Press that militants have hung their black banners on watchtowers at the refinery, where a huge fire rages in one of its tanks.
Some workers say the militants had seized most of the facility and that troops were concentrated around the control room.
A top military security official in Baghdad, speaking on condition of anonymity, however, tells the AP that government troops protecting the refinery, the country's largest, are still inside the facility.
A military spokesman, who spoke on condition of anonymity, tells the AP that troops had repelled repeated attacks by the militants, led by the jihadist Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
Forty insurgents were killed overnight and on Wednesday, he added, denying the facility was close to being overrun.
Nearly all the 15,000 workers at the refinery and 100 foreign experts left Tuesday when the plant was shut down in anticipation of the attack.
On Thursday morning, the remaining 250 to 300 workers were evacuated under an agreement brokered by local tribal leaders, one of the workers told the Reuters news agency.
The battle over Beiji, which supplies much of the country's domestic fuel, has sparked fears that Iraqis will soon experience long lines at petrol pumps and electricity shortages.
The latest clash comes as President Obama met Wednesday with top leaders of Congress to explore options in the conflict.
The fighting at Beiji also comes as Iraq has asked the U.S. to launch airstrikes targeting militants from ISIL. While Obama has not fully ruled out the possibility of launching airstrikes, such action is not imminent, officials said, in part because intelligence agencies have been unable to identify clear targets on the ground.
Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, confirmed the U.S. had received a request for air power to stop the militants, but highlighted the uncertain political situation in Iraq.
"The entire enterprise is at risk as long as this political situation is in flux," he told a Senate panel Wednesday. He added that some Iraqi security forces had backed down when confronted by the militants because they had "simply lost faith" in the central government in Baghdad.
A spokesman for Prime Minister al-Maliki's Dawa party, Zuhair al-Nahar, said Thursday that the prime minister had met Sunni Arab and Kurdish leaders and that they had "come out in a united stand."
"My message from all the leaders in Iraq is that they feel abandoned, that they want America, Europe, the U.N., to take immediate action to rectify the military situation," he told the BBC.
The U.S. has pushed Iraq to present its people a clear coalition to fight the militants, with Vice President Joe Biden offering praise Wednesday for Iraq's Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish leaders as a means to tamper the sectarian anger roiling the country. It's unclear whether that will work, as al-Maliki's Shiite-led government has faced widespread dissatisfaction from the nation's sizable Sunni and Kurdish minorities.
Al-Maliki, a Shiite, has rejected charges of bias and instead said the crisis has led Iraqis to rediscover "national unity."
"I tell all the brothers there have been negative practices by members of the military, civilians and militiamen, but that is not what we should be discussing," al-Maliki said Wednesday. "Our effort should not be focused here and leave the larger objective of defeating" the militants.
The campaign by the al-Qaeda-inspired Islamic State militants has raised the specter of the sectarian warfare that nearly tore the country apart in 2006 and 2007, with the popular mobilization to fight the insurgents taking an increasingly sectarian slant, particularly after Iraq's top Shiite cleric made a call to arms on Friday.
The Islamic State has vowed to march to Baghdad and the Shiite holy cities of Karbala and Najaf, home to some of the sect's most revered shrines, in the worst threat to Iraq's stability since U.S. troops left in late 2011. The militants also have tried to capture Samarra, a city north of Baghdad and home to another major Shiite shrine.
In an incident that harkens back to the dark days of Iraq's sectarian bloodletting of 2006 and 2007, the bullet-riddled bodies of four men, presumably Sunnis, were discovered in the Shiite Baghdad district of Abu Dashir on Thursday, police and morgue officials said. The bodies were handcuffed and had gunshot wounds to the head and chest.
Also in Baghdad, a roadside bomb hit a police patrol on a highway in the east of the city, killing two police officers and wounding two, police and hospital officials said. Earlier Thursday, a car bomb exploded inside a parking lot in Baghdad's southeastern Shiite neighborhood of New Baghdad, killing three people and wounding seven, the officials said.
All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the journalists.

Old Carpets to Beautiful Wood Floors in 1 Day!
Full Service Includes:
Start with this simple peek:
1.) Go to an obscure part of the room, perhaps a hidden corner or closet, and using a tool to assist, pull a corner of the carpet away from the wall.
2.) Next, lift up the padding to reveal the floor underneath. It won't be a problem if the staples remain on the floor after you pull up the pad!
3.) Get as good a look at the floor as you can.
4.) At Mr. Sandless, we can refinish just about any type of floor. What would diminish the outcome of refinishing are board problems, where the boards are damaged beyond refinishing, and would have to be replaced. These are the areas you are trying to identify.
5.) Damaged areas include:
- Dark Stains in Boards
- Clear Stains where the boards have no color
- Boards that are painted or excessively worn
- Boards that are warped and have a stark color difference
6.) If this type of damage is seen, it is decision time! If you are certain that you are getting rid of your carpets (either to refinish the wood floor or for new carpet) then pull up a larger section of the carpet to be able to view as much of the floor as you can, and then give us a call and tell us what you see. There are several options available to you at this point and we will guide you from there
7.) If you do observe problem areas, we can guide you to solutions and will discuss them all with you.

1st piercing (nipples)
anted to share this story, especially for everyone out there who is contemplating getting their first piercing. DO IT, you'll be hooked, pardon the pun....
I decided to get both my nipples pierced. I looked around on the internet and Perforations in Washington, D.C. was not only the closest member of the A.P.P., but their website was very interesting as well. Everyone was great, from the first phone call, to leaving the shop. I have to be honest, as my husband and I pulled up, he had a strange look on his face and said, "I don't know if I want you to go in that place." The neighborhood is enough to make some people nervous. The shop itself doesn't appear to be much on the outside, and the inside isn't exactly palatial. Perforations does have it where it counts: there was a large jewelry selection and the staff are all personable, happy to answer questions, no matter how many times they must have heard the same one, and they know their stuff. I didn't eat before having this done figuring I handle it better on an empty stomach, but I was told to go get something to eat and come back, so the intensity of the procedure combined with low blood sugar wouldn't make me pass out. I have some extra pounds and I have large, 42 D breasts. I am so overly self-conscious I have a hard time letting my husband of four years see me naked. I thought I would feel funny taking my shirt off. I really surprised myself. Jason made me feel at ease and I didn't have any trouble. He was very professional and I wasn't the least bit uncomfortable. I even signed the release form to allow pictures to be taken for Jason's portfolio.
Imagine, me, not only going "topless" but being photographed too. I mean, they don't show your face, but for me it was a start. That's one of the reasons I had this done, as a "jump start" to being more outgoing.
After I picked out my beautiful Titanium rings, one a blue/green and one a violet/blue with silver beads, it was only about 10-15 minutes before it was all over. Jason very carefully measured and made alignment marks. He must have went through about 10 pairs of rubber gloves from start to finish. Did it hurt, YES! I think my husband had a harder time watching that I did having it done. He asked me to describe what it felt like, here's my answer: at first it was the pinch of the forceps, then a stronger, firm pinch as the needle started to go in, there was a sharp, searing, burning pain as the needle and ring went through, but that was it, only a few seconds. I said ouch for the left one, and barely made a face for the right one. Jason was very calming and told me just to relax and concentrate on my breathing. He asked if I wanted him to count and let me know when it was coming, or just sort of do it. I said I would be better to just be chatting or whatever and bang, do the deed. So we chatted and ouch for a second and then it was over.
I couldn't look up at my husband for the second one because his face gave away when the needle was coming. They were sore as I went braless for the ride home. The bumpy Washington streets were pretty unforgiving too.
Putting on a snug sports bra when I got home helped a lot, I also slept in it. There was absolutely no blood until I cleaned them the next morning, which hurt a good bit. There was just a small amount of seeping blood that lasted for a minute or two.
All in all, Peforations is a neat place and I can't wait to go back and have a horizontal hood piercing and a tattoo I've been planning for a while. I've written this just having them done about ten hours ago. Yes, it hurt. Would I do it again, you bet.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Employer Refused to Transfer Male Nurse to Operating Room Because of His Gender, Federal Agency Charged
ST. LOUIS – The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today filed suit in federal court against Audrain Medical Center in Mexico, Mo., alleging that the center violated federal law by refusing to transfer a male nurse into the operating room because it preferred to have a female nurse in the room when female patients were being treated.
According to EEOC attorney Melvin Kennedy, Audrain revealed during the EEOC investigation that with the overwhelming presence of male surgeons and anesthesia staff, the hospital felt it must have female nursing staff in the operating room.
"The hospital's failure to attract and hire women into the higher paying surgeon and anesthesia positions does not justify its insistence that it have female nursing staff in the OR," said Kennedy.
EEOC Regional Attorney Barbara Seely said, "We have lived through a time in our country's history where jobs had implicit gender designations. Doctors and lawyers were male jobs while nurses and flight attendants were female jobs. That time is over."
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects employees from discrimination based upon sex, race, color, religion or national origin. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri (Case No. 4:11-cv-1369) after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
Audrain Medical Center employs approximately 500 people and serves primarily Mexico, Mo., and surrounding communities.
The EEOC enforces Title VII and other federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

In my blog I'm displaying lists of posts from every category I have in the homepage. I have a column for each category. The code is this:
$categories = array('3', '4', '5');
foreach ($categories as $category):

<?php echo get_the_category_by_ID($category); ?>

global $post;
$args = array('numberposts' => '3', 'category' => $category, 'post_status' => array('publish', 'future' ));
$myposts = get_posts($args);
Now I'd need to display also posts occurring in the future. They are called events, I guess. I know I cannot use the wordpress status flag of the posts, because it has another purpose.
I also tried the Event Manager plugin, but I can't find any way to mix these custom posts with the normal ones. Any suggestion?

3 shots on target. One goal.
no I don't think Allardyce is good enough for Everton but I can see why he came in and have never said so on like some man u fans getting a plane out soon then as JM has been offered a new deal any "Fan" at that match today getting on like that was an embarrassment to the club it was seen to be ok by some a few years ago with RM but did nothing to help the players on the pitch you could see it was going to be like that form well before the off that's no way to be going to your homes games and don't give me this shit were if they get Big Sam out it will stop 4 years its been going on and will only get harder and harder to get to spot proud day to be an Everton fan I will spot now about it before this gets out of hand
just. wow.put the pint down while you type at least, eh?
any time you want to get down of that high horse feel free
It's so comfy though. And you can see Big Sam's bald spot from up here.
you take all the time you need to go back and find were I have said Big Sam was the manager I wanted but he is the manager we have and to be getting on like that at a home game happy he is not getting the backing of the "Fans" on the match day says a lot about you he has come in here after 2 real clueless cunts but it all down to him WAKE UP what happens when the next manager comes in and we lose a few games or not play well if he goes in the summer or is here next year this crap that is going on at the home games needs stopping now wanting seat close to the pitch in the new ground this keeps up I would understand them not wanting to Holgate had a crap game today funny that its the same day all this crap was going on and Kenny was not much better but some are really happy they got to BEFORE a ball was kicked to start with this crap the pride of Merseyside at it best
what the fuck are you taking?!
the most toxic atmosphere I have seen at any football game its was there before a ball was kicked and before you say its Sam its Sam its fucking not its the "fans"
The atmosphere again is toxic because of the negative tactics yet again ....spend 50 mil on attacking players and play defensive again speaks absolute volumes of the man ....it's a good job the speakers in the park and we're fucked ...maybe it's a plot so Sam can't hear the abuse hes getting .
If you don't buy a ticket you won't win the lotteryLet me dumb that down for you and your alter egoIf you don't have shots on target you can't score goals
So when is the open top bus parade for winning the shots on target league?
The managers shite tactics has caused that, fans want to see attacking football, not that shite every week, the atmosphere is all him, hes caused it

Florida Gov. Rick Scott calls for more early voting days, sites
Florida Gov. Rick Scott on Thursday formally endorsed the three major changes to election procedures recommended by state election supervisors, days after a team of supervisors testified before legislative committees.
In a statement issued after a meeting with Secretary of State Ken Detzner, Scott specifically endorsed these changes:
Increasing the number of early voting days from eight to a maximum of 14, from six to 12 hours each day, and including the Sunday before Election Day at the election supervisor's option.
Expanding the locations for early voting beyond the existing law, which is limited to elections offices, city halls and libraries.
Reducing the length of the ballot, including descriptions of constitutional amendments.
All three proposals require legislative approval. Scott did not specifically call for a change in state law to prevent the Legislature from requiring that the full text of ballot questions be presented to voters.
Scott issued this statement: "Our ultimate goal must be to restore Floridians' confidence in our election system. ... We need more early voting days, which should include an option of the Sunday before Election Day, and we need more early voting locations."
Scott's statement comes in the wake of a chaotic Florida election when voters waited up to seven hours to cast ballots, and national news organizations declared President Barack Obama the winner before the state's final results were posted.
Election supervisors praised Scott's action.
"Very encouraging," Pinellas' Deborah Clark said, and Pasco's Brian Corley thanked Scott for "echoing" the views of county elections officials.
Florida Democrats weren't so kind. Party chairman Rod Smith said Scott is now trying to distance himself from decisions that hurt Florida voters as he eyes a 2014 re-election bid.
"He simply can't be trusted," Smith said. "Floridians will see through this election-year lip service."
The steps Scott endorsed Thursday would undo the early voting changes that the Legislature passed — and that Scott signed into law — in May 2011.
That unleashed a flood of litigation from voter advocacy groups, and Scott's administration spent more than $500,000 of taxpayers' money defending the changes in state and federal courts.
A three-judge panel of federal judges upheld the eight-day early voting schedule in five counties subject to federal voting-law supervision, on the condition that they provided eight 12-hour days of early voting.
Those counties are Hillsborough, Monroe, Collier, Hardee and Hendry.

We know more about Technical Gadgets.
Two films that premiered in Park City, Utah, this week take a critical look at an emerging villain of our time: Google and its insatiable hunger for our data.
Judging by its trailer, Sundance's "Google and the World Brain" is a documentary with thriller music that depicts the vast and sinister ambitions of Google's book-scanning efforts.
As one professor/librarian/expert dude puts it in the trailer, "The Google book-scanning project is clearly the most ambitious, swell-brained scheme that has ever been invented."
Here's the Hollywood Reporter's review from Sundance.
Meanwhile, a film about the perils of online data collection called "Terms and Conditions May Apply" premiered at Slamdance, an independent film festival adjacent to Sundance, this week.
As Casey Newton's CNET piece puts it, "The film provides special scrutiny of Google, and argues that the company bowed to advertiser pressure by removing language from its privacy policy promising users anonymity unless they willingly gave it up."
You can view the TACMA Preview from Hyrax Films Private on Vimeo.
At a surface glance, at least, the films have a lot in common: They take a possibly valid but very negative slant on interesting issues; Google didn't agree to participate in either movie, and they both feature shots of the company's employees milling about its central courtyard in Mountain View.
I'll leave you with the words of international privacy expert Moby (the same guy who wants to take you to the south side), via the TACMA trailer:
"Anything that's been digitized is not private, and that is terrifying."

Go to 10:20 to hear Zulema Rodriguez brag about shutting down the highway leading to the FOUNTAIN HILLS, ARIZONA Trump rally. Luke Johnson was on his way to church nearby and within seconds, he was caught, unable to move his work truck and trailer. A huge group of people ran into the road, and he couldn't get across. He had no idea what was going on. Then, he started getting dozens of calls threatening his life. "People saying they were going to hunt my business down and find me and come after me and destroy my business." It turns out people had seen his work trailer live on CNN and assumed he was part of the protest even though he wasn't.

- 10. Mainstream Media FAIL: Citizen Journalist Exposes Administration's Deception over ObamaCare
Meet investment advisor Rich Weinstein, one of many Americans who got a letter informing him that his old health insurance policy did not meet ACA standards. It was replaced by a plan that cost twice as much. Obama's words echoed in his memory: "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan, period."
"So I'm watching the news, and at that time I was thinking: 'Hey, the administration was not telling people the truth, and the media was doing nothing!'"
That's when Rich Weinstein put on his thinking cap and did his own independent research. He came up with many pieces of evidence proving that the Obama Administration intentionally deceived the American people, beginning with this:
"This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure the CBO did not score the mandate as taxes," said Gruber. "Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. Call it the stupidity of the America voter, or whatever."

You're in your mid-twenties, you have a good job, earn decent money, you're (relatively) intelligent and you have a good social circle. What then would possess you to put your house on the line, your livelihood at risk, and your social life on the back burner for an indefinite period of time? What would make you risk it all for a slim shot at the big time?
Working in a start-up?
If you're a fan of job security, pension funds, health plans and all the other benefits that go along with working for a big corporation, then working for a start-up probably isn't your bag.
If you like that feeling of standing on the edge of a cliff with nothing but air between you and that drop, or you can imagine the rush of adrenalin when somebody tells you your creation has brought tears of joy to their eyes; when you know that you're creating an experience that people love and want, then just maybe working for a company that's in the foetal stages of development might be where you want to be.
Nothing can compare to that adrenalin rush of hearing people tell you how awesome a community Curicon is and how they have been waiting for something like this for so long. Or hearing from somebody in the industry that Curicon has just filled a space that was missing in the world of pop culture collectibles; a space for people to be social across myriad shared interests.
The long days and nights pale in comparison to getting that feedback. They make it worth it because you're working with a team of people who share the same vision as you; who see Curicon as a potential juggernaut. A place where collectors of all geek and pop culture can come together and geek out on the latest comic book or action figure knowing that the others around you just 'get it'.
Who are we?
Curicon was dreamt up, nameless and full of "how cool would that be" features in 2010 by Matt Byrne & John FitzGerald. Matt gave it life in 2011 by rising from his desk one day and saying it was so – such is his nature. The quick addition of Glenn O'Sullivan, as co-founder, and Aimee Palk, gave the team a real opportunity for success. The only thing they needed was the technical skills of John – so John joined his dream, as it now was – a real start-up.
Matt may as well have been born as a computer: he has dreamt of start-ups since his childhood and holds a BSc from University of Technology, Sydney (UTS). Previously with an unlikely mane of blonde-ish dreadlocks, a piercing or two, a never-ending smile and an addiction to salt-water, he is your typical high-school underachiever. Matt and John's first start-up – a determined push to revolutionise the education system (why not start big!) was thwarted by the GFC. They have run an IT management business since 2009, started a charity, and counted the days until their next start-up would rise.
John shares Matt's technical passion, his skillset (as well as a BSc from UTS) and comes with his own unlikely personality. John turned his back on the corporate world to live the entrepreneur's life – a life where nothing is certain. You wouldn't know these two were nerds, programmers, designers and business owners. And that's how they like it.
Glenn brings a touch of class and refinement. His charm and intelligence will have you intrigued and enthralled. His BIT from UTS was a scholarship well earned. Calm and composed – he ensures that Matt's sometimes 'large' vision is delivered to the team in a clear and actionable plan. As John did, he left the corporate world to seek something more, something different, something crazy.
Aimee always wanted to put her natural gift for the creative - a BA from Macquarie and a, somewhat contradictory, "iron" work ethic - to good use. Possessing a very unique ability to process content and the ability to implement creative solutions keeps Curicon's library growing.
There is a general perception that working for a start-up involves sipping chai lattes while sitting on beanbags and using iPads to change the world. People think it's all about attending South by Southwest (SXSW), Y Combinator and Blog World, mooching around wearing the obligatory hoody and Converse trainers (thanks Zuckerberg) while chatting to venture capitalists (VCs).
That's certainly a part of it - without the chai lattes in our case. But the reality of working for a start-up is very different. It's probably the furthest thing from a 9-5 job you can ever experience. And I've worked in the airline industry – not known for it's sociable hours - and that's a holiday camp compared to working in a start-up.
In the run up to our first launch, the guys were programming for 36 hours straight, in an effort to make everything completely functional and aesthetically attractive. We slept in the office. We ate at our desks. We didn't speak to anybody except each other and all that we thought about, dreamt about, and did anything about was Curicon.
I have a BSc in government and have become woefully ignorant of the day-to-day happenings in the world. Shameful though it may be to admit, I don't know what's happening with the US presidential election (it could have taken place for all I know), nor do I have anything but the vaguest notion of what's happening in Europe. Anything I do know is thanks only to my parents who see it as their duty to ensure their eldest daughter doesn't have a knowledge of current affairs that could be rivaled by Snookie.
Instead, my news sources comprise Techmeme, Venture Beat, Tech Crunch, Hacker News, The Atlantic, Forbes and WSJ to name but a few.
Is it a form of madness? Possibly. But there's literally nothing like it. I always knew that I didn't want a 9-5 office routine and some would say it's a case of 'be careful what you wish for', but I've never been happier. And I know I can say that for the rest of Team Curicon as well.
In short, it's awesome.
I don't think it's misplaced arrogance. We're simply confident that it's the right time for a social network that caters to the needs of collectors of pop culture. So many people collect comics, action figures, trading cards, and play role-playing games and miniatures. This is about creating a community of people like us where we can connect with other geeks through the discussion section or tap into the expertise of other collectors from around the world in the Q&A sections. We know this community has potential.
We believe it has so much potential that we're moving to Silicon Valley.
Move to Silicon Valley? Yes, just as those before us left, we leave too. Australia is our home, we love it here and we will return one day. Until then, however, we must call California home. Unfortunately, Australia does not lend itself to the needs of the start-up. Investors prefer resources; our IT industry and university system have not developed the lust for risk, innovation and passion that lives in the Valley.
This month will see us start our trans-pacific journey. We'll be meeting with VCs, enjoying a tour of the best collectables shops in 6 cities, and visiting the nerd Mecca that is Comic Con to touch base with some of the industry's finest.
We'll be keeping you updated with articles, pictures and videos over the next couple of months. You'll see the good, the bad, and the ugly of all that being involved in a start-up entails.
We're not taking anything for granted. We're racing, not to the finish line, but to the start line. We're cognizant that all of this hard work is just leading up to more hard work. And that's fine. We've got a great team who are dedicated and good at what they do and have created a site that people love, based on the feedback so far.
No, it's not perfect. And we're certainly not claiming that it is. Curicon has a long way to go and we have a lot to learn. The road to the Valley will shape us, test us, and unlock our potential. Our failures along the way will shape our eventual success.
Walt Disney said, "if you can dream it, you can do it".
Matt Byrne, CEO of Curicon said "the only way we're going to make this a success is if we make Curicon something special, a platform that embodies what we as collectors dream of. We will do this, we will build something that truly kicks arse, something we can be proud of".
Wish us luck.
Kerrie O'Callaghan is the head of communications at Curicon

Feb. 6 through Feb. 13, 2012 Happy Valentine's Day! If you're not going out for a candlelight dinner tonight, why not make one at home? You might enjoy a radically elegant Filet of Beef with Wasabi Cream (recipe below from Radically Simple) or my heart-shaped meatloaf from Little Meals. Share the love. A St. Amour beaujolais would be a nice wine to drink. And of course, serve something chocolate for dessert. Perhaps a "Little Black Dress Chocolate Cake" accessorized with fresh raspberries and powdered sugar (or gold leaf!)
Tastes of the week: In a nutshell, two terrific meals last week at Le Bernardin and at abckitchen. I haven't been to Le Bernardin in years and was eager to see the new design. While I am still partial to the original "look" created by uber-architect Phil George (with the wonderful paintings by Abelard Favela -- a revered artist from Mexico), the new Le Bernardin is arresting in its cool, warm look and remarkable 24-foot painting (I swore it was a photo) of a stormy sea by Brooklyn artist, Ran Ortner. In celebrating my cousin's special birthday, we had the three-course prix fixe lunch with an additional "middle course" of ethereal fettuccine with a truffle bolognese. Sublime. But the most stunning dish was a first course of barely cooked shrimp and foie gras. The most "French" tasting dish I've had in a long while. The rest of the menu -- octopus, red snapper, lobster, were all first-rate as were the desserts -- not too crazy (as so many have become) but intelligently crafted and beautifully executed.
At abckitchen, I had my favorite starter, the kabocha squash and ricotta bruschetta, the famous roasted carrot salad, a wondrous sashimi, and a pizza to share, laden with spinach, herbs and goat cheese. Chef Dan Kluger has perfect "flavor" pitch.
And then there was the very good guacamole at Rosa Mexicano on East 18th Street. The size of a small neighborhood, the place felt very democratic and alive. The signature dish is the table-side guacamole, made from perfectly-ripe avocados, mashed and tossed with tomato, jalapeno, lime juice and more. I loved that it was served at room temperature (those avocados never saw the inside of a refrigerator.) And while I rarely drink margaritas, no less a pomegranate one, and no less a frozen one, Rosa Mexicano's version rocks. Almost ordered a second. It is interesting that Jonathan Waxman decided to become the executive chef of this upscale chain and no doubt will bring his formidable expertise to the kitchen. I always think of the amazing woman who started it all -- Josefina Howard -- who was among the first to bring sophisticated Mexican food to New York -- in stylish surroundings, with a sexy vibe, excellent food, and those...wonderful pomegranate margaritas. She is greatly missed and one of New York's great women-in-food.
Happy Valentine's day. Food is love.
Filet of Beef with Wasabi-Garlic Cream (from Radically Simple) serves 6
2 tablespoons olive oil 1-3/4-pound filet of beef, tied 1 tablespoon sugar 1-1/2 cups heavy cream 2 very large garlic cloves, peeled and smashed 1 tablespoon prepared wasabi
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Drizzle the oil on a rimmed baking sheet; roll the filet in the oil. Combine the sugar and 1 tablespoon kosher salt. Rub into the top and sides of the filet, but not the bottom or it will burn. Roast the beef 25 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer registers 125 degrees for rare. Meanwhile, bring the cream and garlic to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce the heat and cook, stirring, until reduced to 1 cup, about 15 minutes. Push the softened garlic through a press; whisk back into the sauce. Add the wasabi, cook 1 minute and remove from the heat. Add salt. Transfer the beef to a cutting board. Let rest 10 minutes. Gently reheat the sauce. Remove the strings from the beef and thickly slice. Serve with the sauce.

Chris Kluwe. Kluwe. Chris Kluwe. Chris "Chris Kluwe" Kluwe. CK: The Chris Kluwe Collection, by Chris Kluwe. Khris Cluwe. CKhlruiwse. Chris (Chris) Kluwe (Kluwe)!
Ahem. I think that should fulfill our contractual obligations.
Favorites and duds from today's commenting.
Favorites, in no particular order:
Kudos to Milo Minderbender for a follow up that outclasses the original joke in the 49ers-Packers thread. And, hey, a shot at DougExeter and Raysism, too? Worth the price of admission.
In that same thread, Certified Comment Artisan David Hume (this is a thing now, I made it up and he's the first one) yanks a beautiful penis out of his shorts with a pitch-perfect gasser. "...weiner poking out of his chinos" is just classic Hume. And wouldn't you know it, this marks our first-ever Comment of the Day to a Certified Comment Artisan. What a momentous occasion. Take a bow, DH.
Face! Cram it, anonymous burner weirdo, courtesy Fidrych or die tryin in the Arizona Coach thread.
And right next door to him is Clinton Portishead with a very funny and inappropriate pun. Hey, why don't we get some more of those around here?
Our good friend RMJ=H was in the mix today as well, my favorite gag being this spit-taker in the Alabama Family thread. I didn't see it coming at all. Very funny.
Maybe I'm wrong here, but out of all the stuff thrown at the wall in the Fifth Third post, this goofy take from bavanlan made me laugh the most. I'm surprised it didn't get more attention. Too obvious? Has someone already made this joke somewhere else that I missed? I'm not sure what to make of it. The Onion style fake news put-on combined with an absurd misunderstanding joke is a good sight better than a gay joke, isn't it? Whatever. Today is the first day I can remember seeing bavanlan, but he/she had at least one other near-miss for the Favorites. Keep it up.
And of course what's a Roundup without a perfectly Deadspinny Deadspin comment section comment? This one, from RigmasTFT, is actually clever, which most of the jokes in this mold don't bother trying to be. Is the jump from shooting —> that kind of shooting all that hard to make? Certainly not. But there's character in the delivery, and that's what you need if you want your inappropriate/sad reference make you look wily instead of pathetic. This one was just wily enough.
Just because if I don't point it out, he'll let me hear about it in the comments, I really enjoyed this cute little bowtie from Raysism in the Blackout thread. (An aside: what fucking jackass gets all het up about someone poking fun at banks, for crying out loud? Or implies that only a filthy liberal would bother with such criticism? Has it been long enough that people are pro-bank now? Good god we have short memories. Banks can suck my ass forever.) And, later, hidden at the end of a thread in the Cal Ripken post is a very funny retort to pedantic idiot BreakerBaker. What a maroon. Note the interesting style change for Raysism. A hint of more to come? Count me in.
Finally, a round of applause for FreemanMcNeil for his tall tale in the NFL Shop thread. That's just super silly and funny.
Total Fucking Duds:
Ok, not too many duds tonight. Not because of a lack of opportunity, but because I want to go read some more Chris Kluwe stuff before it oversaturates the news cycle. *coughs, loudly* Anyway
pkellen2313 has done some good things around here, but this I would not count among them. Look, pkellen2313, don't listen to the people telling you the joke was amazing or the ones telling you it never should have been attempted, either. It's possible to make a funny joke that is tangentially related to tragic events, even this one. There's one up the page in this Roundup, in fact. But this was not really even a game attempt. You can't just point to a referent and be like, "Heh. That should do it." Do a little legwork and craft a punchline. You know how everyone hates the cutaway gags on Family Guy because most of the time it's just a fucking thing from the 80s and you're supposed to look at it and remember it and laugh at remembering it? Better yet, ever go on Buzzfeed? This is a Buzzfeedy comment.
The classic "person looks like person" non-joke, mixed with a soupçon of homophobia. Gee. Thanks a lot, Shipwreck's Parrot.
Alright folks, have a good weekend. And just remember, always Chris Kluwe your C.H.R.I.S.K.L.U.W.E! Good night!

Scarlett Johansson has been very tight-lipped about her 18-month marriage to husband Ryan Reynolds, but the 25-year-old actress has now revealed that she has found great comfort in her leading man.
"I mean, you're married and suddenly you have your own family," Scarlett told InStyle magazine in it's May issue. "There's a nice comfort in that. That part of your life is certain, in a way. You've got your home in that other person."
Scarlett might be loving married life, but she said that she still loves her alone time – especially when it's in the kitchen.
"I like cooking alone – I find it very therapeutic," she told the mag. "I put on some music, maybe have a glass of wine, and make something like a turkey Bolognese or a nice frittata."
In fact, the big screen beauty said a night a home is something she prefers over a night on the town.
"You're not going to find me at 4 AM hitting up the club, bottle full of bub… Maybe on a rare occasion. But I've just never been much of a clubby, nightlife kind of person," she explained. "I'm not a social butterfly. I've never been part of a scandal that was really juicy."
Scarlett will next be seen as The Black Widow in "Iron Man 2," which hits theaters on May 7.

Sixth-seeded Ohio State meets 11th-seeded Dayton in the second round of the NCAA tournament's South Region.
The teams will meet Thursday in Buffalo, N.Y.
The Buckeyes (25-9) have been one of the most up-and-down teams in the field, rising to No. 3 nationally after a 15-0 start only to lose five of six and fall out of the Top 25.
Ohio State closed the regular season by beating eventual Big Ten tournament champion Michigan State at home, but lost to regular-season champ Michigan in the tournament semifinals.
The Flyers (23-10) lost in the Atlantic 10 tournament quarterfinals to keep them on the NCAA bubble. Dayton last made the tournament in 2009.
The schools are located about an hour apart, with their last meeting coming in the NIT in 2008. Many people in Ohio have been critical of Ohio State coach Thad Matta and athletic director Gene Smith because the Buckeyes don't play in-state Division I teams away from their home court, but they're now meeting in the NCAAs.
Dayton is coached by Archie Miller, the brother of Arizona coach Sean Miller. He was on Matta's staff with the Buckeyes.
The Dayton-Ohio State winner faces the winner of third-seeded Syracuse and 14th-seeded Western Michigan in Saturday's third round.

Web, Mobile Activity Jump During Jackson Memorial
Verizon Wireless and Facebook released some quick stats about how their networks fared during today's Michael Jackson memorial service.
Between 10am and noon Pacific time today, Verizon Wireless voice calls around the Staples Center in Los Angeles, where the memorial was being held, were up 10 percent from the same time on Monday. Text message and mobile web rates were 86 percent.
Verizon also streamed MSNBC coverage on V CAST Video during the day and showed coverage on V CAST Mobile TV.
The company's networks operated normally during the event, a spokesman said.
On Facebook, meanwhile, the social networking site again integrated its service with CNN as it did for Inauguration Day, and reported a total of 733,000 status updates.
About 759,000 Facebook users viewed the live streaming coverage of the memorial via the CNN hookup, and users were updating their status updates at a rate of 6,000 updates per minute. For comparison, there were 1.8 million status updates with the word "Obama" on Inauguration Day.
Facebook made the Facebook Live Stream Box more widely available two weeks ago, and it was also used by E! Online, MTV, and ABC News during the service.
E! Online logged 9,000 status updates and 87,000 viewers. ABC had 48,000 status updates and 97,000 viewers. And MTV had 5,000 status updates and 21,000 viewers.
Meanwhile, Michael Jackson's fan page on Facebook has grown to 7 million fans since his death, eclipsing President Barack Obama by one million.
Finally, the free Jackson virtual glove gift is now Facebook's most popular gift, with over 800,000 gloves given away.
Hulu and MySpace were also among the sites streaming the service. They did not immediately respond to a request for stats from today's event.
