When I first time visited a German supermarket I had difficulty to select German hams because there are too many types, from cooked hams, smoked hams to cured hams. German hams are made not only from pork, but also from chicken, beef or turkey. Some are suitable for starters. Others are suitable for cooking. Germans use them for many different recipes and eat almost on daily basis.
Over the years I have tried many German hams. I like to eat them with bread, sometimes as snacks or with wine. In general, there are seven best German hams. They are all made from pork meat.
Holsteiner Katenschinken
This type of German hams is made from the pigs raised in Schleswig Holstein. The first step is to rub the meat with hands using French sea salt and other herbs. Once a week, the old salt is brushed off. Then the meat is hand rubbed in the salt again. The meat stays in salt for seven weeks. During the time the salt goes deep into the ham and absorbs moisture.
After this period the meat will go through the smoking process. "Kate" is type of small village houses in northern Germany. These houses are mainly used for smoking process. The smoking process of Holsteiner Katenschinken is done in such special smoke houses in which the smoking material was burned. That is how the name comes from. The smoking process lasts for 24 hours.
Westfälischer Schinken
The ham is also called Westfälischer Knochenschinken (Westfalen bone Ham). During the production of Westphalian Schinken the long bones remain in the meat. This creates the special aroma of the ham. The meat is salted by hand and turned over frequently. Such process repeats again and again over a period of several weeks. Then the meat is being dried in special ripening rooms for at least six months. At the end of the ripening period the meats are cold smoked over beech wood.
This production method creates a dark red color ham and a yellow rind around it. The bone is taken away before the ham is ready for sale. The production sites must be in Westphalia in order to maintain PGI (protected geographical indication) status under EU law. However, the meat can also come from other regions.
Schwarzwälder Schinken
This is probably one of the most famous German hams known by other nations. The pork is first seasoned finely using traditional recipes and salted by hand. It remains in salt for a couple of weeks. Then it is smoked with a mixture of green pine twigs, sawdust and wood chips made of Black Forest fir trees. The smoking period lasts three weeks so that the ham gains the typical smoky colour. After a 12-week maturation period it is finally ready for the consumption.
Norderneyer Seeluftschinken
This is the cured-ham among all German hams. Norderneyer is an island in North Sea. It provides favorable conditions for the maturation of the ham. Producers use the best pork from contract farmers. The meat is hand-salted and spiced piece by piece. The process only use sea salt and selected spices. The meat is dried naturally in sea breeze.
Ammerländer Schinken
Ammerländer Schinken is from the Ammerland in Lower Saxony. It has PGI (protected geographical indication) status under EU law. The meat is first salted by hand with sea salt, brown sugar and other spices such as cinnamon powder and pepper for three weeks. Then it is cold smoked over beech wood for several weeks. The high humidity in the region prevents the meat from drying out. The subsequent maturation period ranges from about three months to more than two years for the best qualities. This German ham has a typical smell of smoke. Its taste is mild and slightly spicy.
The word "Nuss" in German means the flesh part from pig's back leg. Nussschinken is made with fine natural spices and high concentration salt water. After the maturation in salt, the meat is dried and then through cold smoked over beech fire for many hours. Nussschinken has its particular mild taste with a fine walnut flavour, which sets it apart from other types of German hams. You usually cut it into thin slices and eat with bread.
The German word "Lachs" usually means Salmon fish. But here it has nothing to do with fish. The pork loin in German is also called Lachs.In German "Schinken" is the pig's back leg. This is type of ham is not made from back leg, but still it is called "Schinken".
The production only uses fat-free pieces of pork loin. The pork is soaked in brine for about 4 to 6 days. Afterwards it is washed and dried in the air. The last step is the cold smoking process. Lachsschinken has pink colour and a mild tasting. It is is also quite juicy compared to other German hams. Usually it is sliced so thin that you can almost see through it.

Even newborns can follow a rhythm, article by Robin NixonJanuary 29, 2009 at 12:08 am | Posted in Babies, Brain Development, Children's Music, enroll, Kindermusik | Leave a comment
Tags: athletics, Babies are musical, intellectual growth, kindermusik developmental stages, music and sports, Parenting, rhythm study, studies
Here is another study pointing to the importance of recognizing babies are musical. It is my opinion what we cultivate from the earliest ages and stages is what lasts into childhood and later adulthood. That is why something like Kindermusik is so valuable to both parent and child. The parent is given the tools to cultivate a sophisticated understanding and desire to express in a musical way. Even if they are not musical as an adult, Kindermusik CD's and activity books, literature books and instruments allow the parent to lead the way. It is such an exciting and productive process. Read the article here. Robin Nixon calls attention to a quote from the article, by Henkjan Honing of the University of Amsterdam assistant researcher in the study. "While spoken language can take more than a year to develop, "music is one of the earliest things parents have with their children," Honing said." Nixon surmises "scientists have shown, at birth we already have sophisticated methods for interpreting the world." Rhythm, steady beat, musical interpretation; all impact how successfully your child learns. Won't you help your child reach their musical, intellectual and athletic potential and sign up for Kindermusik today?!

This unit is focused on creating a stimulating musical environment that integrates music, pretend play, story telling movement, and more. Toys I Make, Trips I Take introduces the musical environment of a remarkable toy shop, filled with boats, trains, balls, jack-in-the-box and many other toys that bring a glimmer into a child's eyes.

In class we'll explore all the sounds we can make with our mouths, our bodies, and our own two hands.

Student Kit includes CD and mini-literature magazine.March – Dance With MeThis month, we'll feature the music and dance of "one-two" rhythms, and "one-two-three" rhythms. In class, we'll hear real instruments from the ballet and learn a few dance steps, too. Activities like dance, where your child follows a short sequence of instructions, helps to strengthen memory and his ability to follow directions.

BY ALAN TEMPLE – @CCP_Sport
MARK WARBURTON has been told his commitment to passing football could get Nottingham Forest relegated.
The former Rangers boss has seen Forest slump to consecutive 1-0 defeats against Blackburn Rovers and Cardiff City, despite registering more than 60 per cent possession in both encounters.
Forest are now just one point above the drop-zone with three Championship fixtures left to play, with the two-time European Cup winners in serious dangers of slipping into League One.
And club legend Garry Birtles has urged Warburton – often chastised for a lack of alternative tactics during his time at Ibrox – to dump his philosophies in favour of getting points on the board.
In his column for the Nottingham Post, he said: "I understand the manager, Mark Warburton, wants to get his team playing a certain way, but Forest can still get relegated. They are in a very dangerous position.
"Now is not the time for Forest to be trying to play attractive football. All they have got to do is win games, whatever that takes. Not trying to play great, passing football. That can come later on, once Forest are safe, once they know they are going to be in the Championship again next year.
"For now, they just have to try to get three points any way possible. Whatever it takes. When you're at the bottom of the table; you've simply got to win football matches.
"It doesn't matter if they play badly and win 1-0, as long as they get that win. Do everything possible to win. That's the only way to go about it. You've got to make sure you do the basics right. Don't try to be too clever and end up getting caught out. Put balls into the box and hope someone gets on the end of them."

Protecting Disbursements with Technology-Based Controls
Global Financial Services
Global Financial Services
This second-largest financial services organization in the world serves 200 million customer accounts worldwide. The company turned to apexanalytix for an end-to-end global framework that would strengthen procure-to-pay process controls and provide continuous, software-based protection.
"The apexanalytix revolutionary software and virtual team model have allowed us to execute a Global Incorrect Payment Prevention Program across regions."
– Accounts Payable CAO
The company's global shared services center relied on an ERP platform and its own internal controls to prevent disbursement errors and fraud. But the organization found it hard to uncover errors that spanned multiple countries and subsidiaries. Executives felt their approach was more reactive than preventive and looked for a broader, more comprehensive protection against disbursement losses.
apexanalytix helped the firm establish an innovative protection framework based on industry best practices and apexanalytix firststrike® software—a sophisticated technology used by the world's largest companies for overpayment prevention, fraud detection, vendor management, reporting and analytics. firststrike overlays the company's global ERP footprint to extract and analyze payment data that spans 10 languages and dozens of currencies. Personnel in regional hubs evaluate firststrike reports daily to identify and halt overpayments. In addition, firststrike is used to conduct internal recovery audits of billions in historical spending.
The company's new automated prevention-based approach collapses multiple legacy systems into one powerful control framework. Team members are now empowered to identify, prevent and recover incorrect payments proactively and to improve contract pricing compliance. Among the impactful outcomes:
- Year-over-year benefits to the company's bottom line
- Improved process controls enabled by root cause analysis of errors
- Top-decline performance across a broad range of global AP metrics
- Payment accuracy rates that exceed apexanalytix benchmarks
- Near doubling of spend compliance coverage from 50% to over 90%
- A broadly expanded historical audit footprint that encompasses 50 countries

Warranty for Fields Management, L.L.C.
Version v3.13
So that we may more effectively and correctly service your account, we feel that it is very important for our customers to understand all warranty service and return policies. A good understanding of what both parties will be responsible for will prevent any misunderstandings now or in the future should you have a problem with your equipment.
As a reseller for the products we sell, please be assured we will honor the limited warranties as stated by the manufacturer. Unfortunately, the manufacturer's limited warranty or software limited warranty are not read or understood. Most warranties do not cover travel or on-site repair, and unless otherwise stated, do not cover loaner equipment while your equipment is being repaired. If these conditions are important to your operation, depending on the product you purchased, you may wish to consider a full-service agreement or a warranty upgrade from us or the manufacturer. This would cover you for on-site repair as opposed to carry-in service.
If your purchase includes software or you purchase software separately… the software warranty covers defects in materials (the media). The software manufacturer will, if applicable, replace the software media, but this does not cover the software installation, its setup or other procedures you may desire that prove necessary. From experience, over 80% or better of our computer service calls are software problem related. Therefore, it is always important to recognize what product is at fault. A personal computer is probably one of the few products you own that is comprised of hardware and software available from many different manufacturers.
Fields Management, L.L.C. Warranty Conditions and Coverage
All parts and labor are included if part of the limited manufacturer's warranty specifies. Length of limited manufacturer warranty coverage will vary from different manufacturers.
Unfortunately, loaner equipment is not covered under the limited manufacturer's warranty. If you are under a service agreement for the hardware, loaner equipment will be provided, subject to availability. For those customers who are not on a Fields Management, L.L.C. service agreement, we will be pleased to offer equipment at a reduced rate. Most of our competitors do not offer this service. There may be exceptions, due to the type of equipment in service.
Software, including operating systems, is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty or a standard Fields Management, L.L.C. Service Agreement. All software related calls are considered billable calls.
It is the customer's responsibility to save the original packing — otherwise the customer may be charged for packaging. UPS has the right to refuse shipping products not in their original box and packaging, therefore we at Fields Management, L.L.C. must provide packaging that is more than adequate or we become liable when UPS has a damage claim.
We reserve the right to refuse warranty repair on equipment that was not purchased from us.
If equipment was purchased from us, we will see that it gets repaired under the stated limited manufacturer's warranty. Please be aware that another dealer or reseller may not honor the same warranty.
We reserve the right to charge for actual costs we may incur that are not covered by the manufacturer's warranty — for example, shipping, phone calls, etc. A service agreement or 100% warranty upgrade does cover these costs for you.
Fields Management, L.L.C. is not responsible, in any way, for lost data, software data files, software program files, lost income or any other consequential or incidental damages or costs resulting from defective equipment or software.
Fields Management, L.L.C. makes every effort to repair equipment on a timely basis. We repair equipment on a first come, first served basis for all non-contract customers. Customers with a service agreement or warranty upgrade will receive priority service.
Customers may be asked to show a copy of the purchase invoice with appropriate serial numbers before warranty work can begin.
For equipment that is in its limited manufacturer's warranty period, and you desire on-site repairs, the on-site service call will be billed at the then in effect normal Fields Management, L.L.C. hourly labor rates.
All repairs are subject to availability of parts from the manufacturer. If parts are not in stock, they will be ordered through normal channels at no cost to the customer. If you desire parts to be expedited, i.e. overnight air, there will be a fee to cover the service.
Warranty claims refused by the manufacturer will be billed to the customer.
For equipment and/or performance malfunctions found to be caused by operator or any software (operating systems or application), will be billed at our normal hourly rates.
Fields Management, L.L.C. Merchandise Return Policy
A Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number must be obtained from Fields Management, L.L.C. prior to returning any product. You may get this number from Fields Management, L.L.C. by filling out a RMA request form. If a valid RMA number is not marked on the box, the product will be refused.
Only equipment that is a stocked item, in new condition and in the original box, will be considered for exchange or replacement.
Due to copyright laws, software cannot be returned if the cellophane seal covering the box is broken.
Fields Management, L.L.C. will charge a published restocking fee equal to 20% of the original purchase price on all eligible returns.
Equipment that has been used or is not in "resalable" new condition may not be returned, nor may special order items be returned for any reason.
Some memory products are not a returnable product.

In this installment of What's In My Inbox, I'm imparting insight in the form of a lesson on what not to do. You probably already know this, but sometimes, knowing what not to do is just as vital as knowing what to do.
Around this time last year, Sandy Hook Promise surveyed me, and I talked about it. I was happy to see another survey again, and this time it prompted me to make a gift.
My gift was immediately followed by another ask, this one for a monthly gift. Say what?!
Honestly, as a donor, I was immediately taken aback, and it almost felt as if I'd been slapped. However, as a fundraiser and a researcher, I signed up for a monthly gift. I'm curious to know what they will do next and how they will steward me. Will I receive a call? Will anything different happen, other than the standard thank you email? I've given in the past and never received any direct mail from Sandy Hook.
This whole "ask post-gift" thing is tricky business, and I've heard reasonable perspectives on both sides. Me, personally? I've explained for awhile now (including in my Basics & More trainings) a careful series of steps geared toward securing the second gift within 60-90 days following the first gift. But I don't recommend an ask in the thank you, and I never have. I reached out to my dear fundraising friend and monthly giving expert Erica Waasdorp and she gave her thoughts on it, providing some very useful and specific advice.
It's a good approach, but I would recommend giving a little bit more reasoning for asking for the monthly gift… build in a very short story, show how monthly gifts will make even more of a difference, also not sure why it doesn't start until next month…
the approach works very well for petition signers who are then converted to give monthly, one of my clients gets like 200 to 300 new monthly donors a month that way.
how did the approach above make you feel as a donor? how would it have made you feel if they had told more of a story and engage you as to why monthly gifts are even more important?
I'm always encouraging my readers and students to experiment more and test, test, test, and I always will. But what I would really love to see them test – and what would make a genuine difference – is the simple act of picking up the phone to say thank you.

Animals are miraculous gifts to us. The power of an animal's love, intuition and wisdom is greatly underestimated—whether it's an ape that not only understands but also responds to sign language or a special cat that made the news by instinctively knowing when its nursing-home residents were about to leave this world. Then there's the dog that helps its therapist owner detect abnormalities in her patients' bodies and the story of the amazingly brave elephants that impulsively knew they had to save themselves by moving to higher ground when a devastating tsunami hit the west coast of Sumatra.
Animals have been our spiritual companions since the dawn of time. Humans have honored them throughout history, as can be seen in those early drawings on the walls of caves—man and dog hunting side by side. Egyptians have treated cats like gods, American Indians have honored many different animals on totem poles, and the elders in the tribe would teach the children about the importance of each living thing.

Color everything but the circles gold.

Blog to Print
Its that time of year again...
I like to get my blog printed into two six month volumes ....now that I usually post every day it wont fit into one book but hey that's OK ......
I do the same colour each year ...yes I know I'm boring but it looks better in my book shelves...
My book this year was almost 400 pages so it was nice and thick...
What I like most about these books is sitting back and slowly going through them reliving all the family memories we shared and the laughs...Looking back at our family journal is what it is
Do you get your blog printed? this years book cost $160 but that included postage from USA.I think that is good value because I haven't printed any photos out and boy is this book filled with them it just like a photo album.

text: Pandas, I am officially back. Well, to be honest I came back late last Thursday night but I was not mentally prepared to start my brain until today. Yes, it took me a week. I have been a walking blob ever since I arrived in London. For those of you who don't know where I went, it was to Cyprus, which is in the Mediterranean. My parents and other family members (from my dad's side) live there. This was the first time in years that I decided to spend Christmas over there. To be completely honest, I have not been a fan of that country for a while now. And that was mainly because it held a very important reminder for me every time I stepped my pudgy foot back on its soil. A painful reminder of unrequited love. Or more to the point, a fake love that left me barren of any kind of emotions whatsoever. He stole them from me. Like a thief of an elaborate and unexplainable heist. Broken and tarnished, I left my country. I left because my greatest drive was to move back to London. If I didn't have that ambition then I know I definitely would not have been here right now talking to you guys.

If George didn't want Aly to become a spy, why on EARTH did he teach her so thoroughly to be one? From the inserts in TC about lessons in spying, the letters with advice about spying from Myles and George, and the fact that she reads as if she's VERY practiced at spying, I find it a little hard to believe that George wasn't teaching her deliberately. And why, if he taught her so well and she was so good at it, did he not want her to continue doing it?
Tammy: George would have been very happy if Aly had chosen to stay and be his executive assistant, as it were. See, he had a bit of a shock when she was twelve. He took her along to a meet with one of his spies, as he'd been doing over the last couple of years, and this time the meeting went south. It turned into a knife fight with uninvited parties dropping in. Aly, who was supposed to hide, took care of herself quite nicely, thanks to Da's teaching, but George sustained a dreadful shock. He'd almost gotten her killed. It was the thought of his little girl getting killed in the field that set him back. If she'd been happy with a nice desk job, decoding things, tracking agents on maps, and helping her old dad with paperwork, he wouldn't have twitched.
Parents get twitchy like this. It's all fun when you teach the kids in play, or when you live your own life without realizing the kids are soaking it all in, but when the kids want to do the risky stuff, the parental nature kicks in. Other people's kids can do that, but not their kids. Their kids are supposed to be safe. Except most of the time it's not possible to be safe, as George learned, the hard way. If he'd been sensible, maybe now he wouldn't be staring across the strait at his greatest competitor. I don't think their Majesties are pleased–do you?

A remarkable story of a Hoddesdon soldier's busy night was told when Private Humberstone, of 104 Amwell Street, Hoddesdon, was charged on three counts of housebreaking and theft on the night of 8th January last. The first charge had reference to the prisoner forcing an entry to the International Stores, Hoddesdon, and stealing various goods, including a quantity of sugar, cheese, and margarine, of the total value of £3 8s 7½d. Evidence was given by Miss Margaret Cornwall, the manageress of the shop, to the effect that the place had been securely locked up when she left but that, on her return in the morning, she found that a pane of glass in a window to the warehouse at the rear had been broken and entry to the premises effected in this way.
The day following, the prisoner conveyed the stolen goods on a truck (which was the subject of a further charge) to the Gunnery Camp at Parndon, and sold much of the contents to the soldiers there. He told them that he was home on 7 days leave, that his mother had a general shop between Hoddesdon and Ware, but that she was getting rid of the business and that he was disposing of the goods for her.
The same night, it was alleged that the prisoner had broken into the house of Mr Edmund Tingay, and stole the truck, a lamp, and a quantity of tools to the value of 15s 6d. He also forced an entry into 10 North Road, Hoddesdon, occupied by William Halfhide, and took two electric torches, 3s 6d in cash, and a purse containing 6d. Evidence of arrest was given by Inspector Moles.
The prisoner was committed on all three charges to the next County Quarter Sessions.

Your Very Own Eat, Pray, Love20:02
Your twenties are a tricky decade. You're no longer a child, yet you don't feel like an adult. This is when you realise that adulthood ...
Your twenties are a tricky decade. You're no longer a child, yet you don't feel like an adult. This is when you realise that adulthood isn't something you arrive at just by getting older. You still feel the same as always, but now people expect you to have it together. You're suddenly meant to make huge decisions about your future. Talk about pressure. When you consider all that, it's no wonder many twenty-somethings do the sensible thing and travel.
Travel can be a fantastic way to transition into being twenty-something. That's because the experiences you have abroad force you to face yourself. That, in turn, can see you finding out who you are. Though she wasn't in her twenties, Elizabeth Gilbert's 'Eat Pray, Love' is a fantastic example of how travel can help you here. Through the book, Gilbert goes from zero to hero. And, she does it by going on an epic trip.
Of course, sunning it up in Spain isn't exactly the stuff of transformation. But, we've got a look at some travelling experiences which could lead you towards an Eat, Pray, Love of your very own.
Travel solo
Gilbert went travelling solo, and you should too. Going away with friends is, of course, fantastic. Nothing beats good company in stunning locations. But, having friends around makes it easy enough to hide from yourself. By stripping back that safety barrier and going it alone, a confrontation with you is inevitable. And, that's what you want. Even if you're scared of the responsibilities you face in life, solo travel can beat those worries down. That's because you'll have to face a lot of scary situations head-on. And, guess what? You'll probably have a bloody fantastic time doing it. When we travel solo, we achieve things we never thought that we could. And, that's precisely what you need.
Take on a new challenge
Gilbert took on all manner of challenges during her trip. From teaching English to taking a vow of silence. While you don't need to go that far, challenges help. They can take you out of the comfort zone which is often so stifling in your early twenties. So, say yes to learning the language next time you go away. Cycle from one end of the country to the other by asking yourself how to make it happen, and also how far is it from Land's End to John O'Groats? Simply challenge yourself to going for walks everyday, or hiking a mountain. It all works towards that sense of achievement which you need to take you far.
Let people in
It's also worth noting that many of the realisations Gilbert comes to during her time away come from people she meets. You can learn so much just from opening up when you're abroad. Instead of guarding yourself, open up and look around you. Strike up conversations with people who look like they'd be happy to chat. They could well end up changing your life if you let them.

From Chicago Tribune:
Though Chicago and other cities have long reported that lead levels in their water meet federal standards, regulators and scientists worry testing methods used for two decades could significantly underestimate consumers' exposure to the toxic metal.
Recent test results in Chicago may back up those fears: High lead levels were found in drinking water in seven of 38 Chicago homes tested by federal regulators this spring, according to records obtained by the Tribune.
"That's not really good news," said Marc Edwards, an environmental engineering professor at Virginia Tech who researches lead in water. The testing suggests lead in water could be a "significant human health concern," he said.
Environmental Protection Agency officials are still analyzing the tests, but the results give credence to concerns voiced by advocates and scientists that lead could be an underestimated health risk in the nation's drinking water, especially in older cities and suburbs where lead pipe and solder are common.
The results also speak to concerns that utilities can "miss" lead when testing water by using certain permitted techniques, such as flushing pipes the night before samples are taken.
"People don't really know the extent of the problem," said Jeffrey Griffiths, a physician who is chairman of a drinking water advisory board for the EPA and a professor of public health and medicine at Tufts University School of Medicine.
Under federal law, local utilities must test water in a relatively small sample of homes. If lead concentrations exceed 15 parts per billion in more than 10 percent of water samples, the utilities must alert residents and try to lower levels. The city of Chicago hasn't exceeded the lead limit in nearly 20 years.
The allowable amount of lead was set in the 1990s and is based on a level utilities could feasibly meet. It is not a health-based standard, and many health and environment experts think the level allowed is too high.
Experts say there is no safe level of exposure to lead, which has been known to cause diminished IQs in children, even at low levels, and heart attacks and strokes in adults.
"What you really want is zero," Griffiths said. "Four (parts per billion) is better than 15, but four is still four."
Water rarely contains lead when it leaves treatment plants, but the heavy metal can leach into water while it sits in or flows through service lines that connect water mains to homes. Pipes and faucets inside homes also can contain lead, as can solder and brass parts used with plumbing materials.
Lead in water doesn't smell or taste strange, so consumers would likely be alerted to the problem only if they have their water tested or if regulators discover the problem.
To prevent leaching, treatment plants add orthophosphate and other chemicals to water. A chemical reaction causes a white coating to form on the inside of pipes that is meant to stop lead from leaching into the water, but it isn't always effective.
Water treatment is also complicated. For orthophosphate to protect against lead, the pH of water needs to be within a certain range. But if pH is too high in some water systems, calcium can build up, making valves like those on fire hydrants hard to open.
"You are kind of doing a balancing act," said Miguel Del Toral, regulations manager for EPA Region 5's Groundwater and Drinking Branch. "It's not as simple as just make one change and you are fine."
If high lead levels persist, a utility may have to replace lead service lines, although recent studies show partial pipe replacements can actually contribute to spikes in lead levels because they disturb lead rust that breaks off or leaches at a higher rate.
In Illinois, 52 water systems have been found to have high lead levels since 2008, according to a Tribune analysis of state records. Last November, New York City alerted residents after 14 percent of samples contained elevated lead levels.
Although the majority of water systems report that homes they test meet federal regulations, some experts think those results are due to outdated testing, government agencies gaming the system, or both.

Welcome to the 30th Anniversary edition of Multichannel News, the first of three special editions this year commemorating three decades of our coverage of your cable-TV industry.
In this special issue, we'll highlight the most innovative people, products and moments that have come together to give the U.S. one of the most sophisticated wired networks in the world.
Looking through our first year of coverage, it struck me how much has changed and yet how much has remained the same: In the inaugural issue of Sept. 15, 1980, a headline on page 23 noted, "NCTA Studies Computer Nets" about a new subcommittee the industry formed to study "the special problems of computer networks."
Another story, under the headline "Second Qube System Takes Bow in Cinci Subs," detailed the first foray into interactive TV. (One ad for ESPN was particularly funny: "Sign up TV's Rookie Sensation. ESPN - cable TV's allsports network - has grown to 4.7 million homes in just its first year!")
I became enamored of the cable TV industry in the early 1990s, covering the business side as a reporter for The Wall Street Journal, and I've been hooked ever since. Few industries are as complex (technology, regulation, programming, etc.) and none are so embedded in popular culture. Multichannel News has matured as the industry has matured, from the days of "I Want My MTV" to TV Everywhere.
One early motto for the magazine was "No hype, just facts," which could just as easily describe our mission today, and yet it's so much more. We strive every minute, online and in print, to ensure that not only are the stories fair and accurate, but that they are relevant. We constantly work to provide the quality of reporting and analysis that you have come to expect from us.
Finally, this celebration really isn't about us as much as it is about you. Without loyal readers who have come to trust our voice and rely on our coverage of the industry, we couldn't be as successful as we are today. It's because of you that we not only exist, but thrive. Today, Multichannel News is proud to be the only magazine in America devoted exclusively to news that affects the U.S. cable-TV industry.
Thanks again for reading us. We invite you to share your memories from the last 30 years with us. Drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com.

This page is dedicated to helping you to crack the google SEO mystery.
Below we will post our own free SEO tips as well as any other reliable info we find from around the web.
We also encourage you to share any pearls of SEO wisdom for us to post on this site, please email firstname.lastname@example.com for your proven SEO tips.
We would like to stress that we only want to post proven SEO tips based on your own personal experience with SEO.
Our main finding so far is that the title tags are of crucial importance to SEO. If your main keywords do not appear in your pages title tag, then it may be prudent to make some changes. Remember, only the first 66 characters are recognised by google!
Social media audience is undoubtedly having an increasing influence in search engine algorithms and sites with high numbers of Google plus, Facebook and Twitter page followers stand to benefit from higher page rankings.
SEO companies are taking advantage of this insight providing various ways to enhance audiences and are getting positive results. As with all search engine optimisation practices, it is prudent to bear in mind that the search engines algorithms are constantly being adapted to spot any unnatural anomalies.
In the case of obtaining unnatural social media likes and follows, you need to cover your tracks to make sure they look natural to a search engine.
For example if you pay a company to give you 1000 Facebook likes overnight, please give consideration to the fact the search engines may be wondering why:-
The Click Submit SEO package we use has its own inbuilt like to follow system whereby you can build your own social media audiences at a steady and natural rate with your Facebook and Twitter pages increasing at approximately the same rate from U.K based social media users.
If you want to buy likes and follows we have also found a low cost social media likes tool which we find compliments the SEO package brilliantly, again allowing you to acquire U.K likes and follows at a natural steady rate.
The Perfectly Optimised Page Layout (For the keyword phrase Low cost SEO)

A cartoon from Pagina Siete:
It is disgusting to see how the coca grower caudillo had wasted over $150 billion dollars during the years of his presidency.
Now that the international prices of our commodity exports have fallen, the demagogue populist has no better option than to continue to squeeze those of us who relentlessly continue to pay taxes.
While the illegal businesses and the informal merchants who support this government benefit greatly!
Bolivia is following Venezuela…

Developing a systematic file naming method for your digital files is probably far more important than you think. As time progresses, software changes and memory fades. This can leave your hard work abandoned in a file format that is currently unreadable or lost in a sea of meaninglessly named files on your system. Good luck finding and opening that Word Perfect document named
paper.wp4 from 1987 or a MS Word file named
1.docx in year 2040.
Ambiguous file naming is sometimes combated with an extensive folder system. However, this method leads to problems as the amount of data in your digital life grows. As the topology of your data becomes more complex, it is not always obvious which folder should contain that
paper.wp4 file. The problem becomes even more apparent when trying to locate the file 24 years later. An extensive folder system is also cumbersome to navigate on a daily basis. Drilling down through 15 folders to find your
paper.wp4 file is unnecessary, inelegant, and time consuming.
File naming is sometimes also ignored because it is very convenient to simply use the magical search powers of Spotlight or some other file searching tool to search for a string of text in the file you are looking for. Using this method is also a very bad idea. Good luck finding your favorite picture of your dog Timmy that you took at Aunt Mildred's 100th birthday party in 1997 by typing
Timmy and Mildred; into Spotlight. There are a lot of times when a certain file type can not be indexed by Spotlight or the file contains no text - like a picture. For these reasons, file naming is very important.
This post is part one of a two part series explaining the method I use to name digital files on my computer and how I quickly find files I am looking for. My method eschews extensive folders in favor of encoding descriptive data about the file in the file name. I feel that this method has several advantages over a folder-centric system. I hope that by sharing my strategy you can at least take away something that will allow you to be more productive and efficient at collecting, processing, and searching your digital data.1
Most digital workflows incorporate one to three main tools to capture and organize data. These are:
In a typical workflow, descriptive words or phrases are used to name files with semantic signifiers. For example, a folder named
pets might have a nested file named
dog_info.txt about dogs. Additional information in the form of metadata can also be associated with a file. Descriptive metadata can take the form of things like keywords (tags). For the file
dog_info.txt the tag
dog_tricks might be used. Structural metadata can be associated to groups of files such as a series of numbers describing an ordered collection of files. For example
dog_info_3.txt, etc. Administrative metadata such as when the file was created or file type can also be associated with files.
A main advantage of using the traditional hierarchical file system with many files inside of many folders is that it is scales. A system starting with one file inside one folder can readily expand to accommodate thousands of folders with millions of files. As more files flow into this system more and more folders are easily created like smaller and smaller Russian nesting dolls to house the files. In contrast, keywords do not scale well. Starting with the initial system of one file inside one folder, imagine starting with one keyword. As more files and folders are added more keywords must be used. The problem is that if we decide to add a new keyword called
puppy_training to our 10,565th added file, it is likely that many of the previous 10,564 files also should be tagged with the keyword
puppy_training. Thus, we are faced with two ugly options:
Despite their drawbacks, keyword-based filing system do have advantages. A main benefit of the keyword approach is that one file can be bound to a virtually unlimited number of keywords. This system creates a powerful relational database were files are linked to related files through the use of common keywords. This system is analogous to the internet or a SQL database where data is linked to each other to create a data-rich network of interconnections.
My method started with my own experimentation in 2007 and borrows heavily from the excellent ideas shared on the Scrivener forum. In 2007 I was finishing my Ph.D. and I was working with thousands of text files. This work necessitated a highly organized method to name and retrieve files. I also wanted a file naming convention that would be future proof - that is: 1) a method that could be used on any operating system I choose to use in the future 2) a method not reliant on any proprietary software.2
The only future-proof data are folders and the file name. Therefore, the method I use incorporates only three folders and four unique text descriptors in the file name. When combined, this strategy allows each file I create to be easily retrieved by a quick search method. That's it. No fancy tools or software.
The three folders I use are:
The four classes of descriptors I use in the file name are:
An example file name might look like this:
The above example might seem illegible at first, but stick with me. After I explain the purpose of each descriptor I think you will see the power of this method.
In my workflow, a file name always starts with an ID string that contains a date and time stamp organized as YearMonthDay_HourMinuteSecond (
Naming files starting with this ID string creates a unique prefix for every file on my computer since no two files can be created at the exact same date and time. The unique ID string prefix allows all files to be quickly organized by their unique date and time to create a timeline of files organized by creation time. In Part 2 I will also explain how the ID string will help with searching and finding files.
This chronological ordering allows me to easily retrace my daily steps to quickly find a file that I created this morning for example. The ID string is also helpful when, for example, I can remember creating a file in the fall of 2001, but I will have no recollection of what I called the file. As we will see in Part 2 of this post, using the date and time ID string makes finding files like this extremely easy.
The second class of descriptor in my file names are called tokens. In computer programming tokens are reserved words, operators, or punctuation marks that have specific meanings. In my file naming system tokens are reserved combinations of three characters; a letter followed by two numbers. Each letter or number in the token describes something about an individual file. The meaning of each of the token components is illustrated in the table below.
Letter tokens can either be upper or lowercase. Uppercase denotes an internal file that is private. A lowercase letter indicates the file has been shared with someone or is in the public domain. The first number in a token can be either a
.1 or a
.2. A personal file is denoted with
.1, while a work-related file is denoted with a
Putting it all together, a file with the token
r1.3 would be a file that contained something I created and shared externally that was a personal file relating to design and visuals. Using this system, 90 unique token combinations are available for each file. The number of tokens can be expanded at any time by added additional letters or numbers.
An important point to remember is that sometimes a file can satisfy several tokens. For example, a published scientific manuscript could have the token
r1.2, but if it also contained figures it could have the token
r1.3. In cases such as a file that can satisfy several tokens the lowest number value token is always chosen for the file name - in this example, the file would take the
r1.2 instead of
r1.3 token.
-R —Record: something created—writing, pictures, etc
-I —Information: something collect—articles, bookmarks, etc
-C —Communication: something exchanged—email, IM, etc
.1 —Important documents: backups, finance, taxes, etc
.2 —Writing: blog, manuscripts, books, cover letters, reviews, etc
.3 —Design and visuals: art, scientific figures, seminar slides, etc5
.4 —Life: recipes, productivity, vacations, etc
.5 —Commerce: transactions, returns, etc
Keys are third class of descriptor in my file naming convention. Keys are analogous to keywords, but unlike keywords (tags), keys are stored within the file name. Most people already use keys to name their files. A file about cats might be labeled
cat_info.txt In this example, the word cat is a key. Keys are usually words that describe a file and their implementation is usually unique each individual person. I do not have a rigid method for using keys in my file naming, but I do adopt some common phrasing such as starting all files about recipes with the key 'recipe.' I find it useful to always ask myself "what keys would I use to remember this file if I were looking for it in 15 years?"
The final class of descriptor is the file extension. A file extension is added as a suffix to indicate the file format of it's contents. Since file extensions are already part of the file name, I incorporate them into my file naming method. In Part 2 I will explain how to search by filtering through the file name and how this can be useful to find certain files.
Make sure to check out Part 2 where I discuss how to search for files.
I recommend also looking at the very interesting workflows of Brett Terpstra, Ben Brooks, and those discussed on the Mac Power Users Podcast episode MPU045. ↩
My file organization method has the added benefit of allowing me to move into and out of a myriad of software applications such as DEVONthink, EagleFiler, or Vector NTI to gain addition functionality without corrupting my data. ↩
The inbox file resides on my desktop and any file on the desktop is automagically moved to this folder via Hazel. ↩
Naming files starting with
YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS may seem like a lot of work, but I use Text Expander or Hazel to do this automatically. ↩
Note that my photography collects contains some additional syntax for finding relevant pictures using text searching that is beyond the scope of this post and is something I am still experimenting with. ↩

There are no intrinsically sacred objects or experiences; they are made sacred by the special context that we give them.
-Louise Thomsen Brits, The Book of Hygge
Now more than ever we all need a sanctuary, a refuge from the world, a safe place to reflect and restore. But the word sanctuary implies more than just a safe space or refuge. It suggests reverence. Holiness. A sense of the sacred. When we think about our homes in the context of creating sanctuary, we see the value of a living space that is simple, comfortable and cared for, a space that is ready to calm and nurture those who enter. When we bring this sense of sanctuary to the seemingly mundane details of our daily lives, the ordinary has the potential to take on new meaning. A morning cup of coffee in our favorite mug suddenly becomes a quiet, restorative ritual to start the day. Our favorite corner of the sofa is transformed into a cozy writing nest to contemplate and dream. Preparing dinner becomes a sensory meditation. As we infuse our lives with a new awareness and appreciation for the everyday moments, we create sanctuary for ourselves and those we love by elevating the ordinary into the extraordinary.
The creation of sanctuary is an intentional practice, a willingness to make room for and find the sacred in the everyday. Here are a few ideas for how to begin creating a sense of sanctuary in your own life:
- Make Space. It can be difficult to cultivate the sacred in the everyday when we are buried in clutter or an over-scheduled calendar. Clear out and simplify. Make room in your home and your planner for a more intentional, well-lived life, for what nourishes and sustains you.
- Own a few small, well-chosen items that comfort and delight. A warm blanket, a favorite mug, a pen that flows effortlessly across the pages of your journal…sometimes it's the small luxuries that become talismans of comfort, familiarity and meaning in our daily round.
- Slow down. Our lives move at the speed of light. How many times have you thought to yourself on a Thursday evening, "I can't believe it's Friday already tomorrow! Where did the week go!?" We can live our whole lives this way if we aren't paying attention, racing unconsciously through our days, just managing to get by. This kind of living is simply skimming the surface. We are not immersing ourselves in the richness that is right in front of us. As a way to counter this pace, practice doing things SLOWLY on purpose. Take a stroll through the neighborhood. Not a power walk, but an easy stroll. Prepare dinner at a leisurely pace. Linger over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Luxuriate in a hot bath rather than take a quick shower. Take up an activity in which success depends on time and patience, sourdough bread baking, for example.
- Unplug. We don't cultivate the depth and richness of life by staring at a screen. We need to be wholly available to participate with our environment and the people in it in order to notice and appreciate our everyday experience, at least for a little while each day. Be gentle with yourself on this one…unplugging from a virtual world and plugging into our real one with all of its messiness and the possibility of boredom isn't easy. Start small if you need to by setting aside designated times where you don't check your phone. Having a no device time before, during and after dinner is a great place to start.
- Engage with your senses. We can come back to the wholeness of the moment, to the beauty of the here and now just by really seeing, smelling, touching, hearing and tasting what is right in front of us. This is why cooking is such an extraordinary activity for discovering the sacred in the seemingly mundane tasks of daily life. The smell of garlic sautéing in olive oil, the bright orange flesh of the squash we are cutting into cubes, the softness of a plush Colorado peach in late summer. Cooking offers so many wonderful opportunities to stop and take in a moment of sensory wonder and appreciation for the everyday gifts that are right in front of us.
- Don't just eat dinner…dine. Find a bit of ceremony in your day where you can. Light candles at the dinner table, lay down some placemats and cloth napkins and open a bottle of wine. Not only will you invite a sense of the sacred to your meal, research suggests that gathering around the table at the end of the day is a source of social connection and an important aspect of our physical health. In his book, How to Make Disease Disappear, Dr. Rangan Chatterjee talks about what life was like when humans existed in hunter-gatherer tribes. After the sun went down, these early humans shifted their activities and conversation from the work of finding food to telling one another stories around the campfire. "The researches call this 'firelight talk.' It's a time of calmness, reflection and-perhaps most importantly-connection." We are wired to reflect, connect and find meaning in our existence by sharing our stories, the happenings of our day, with those around us. "In the modern West, the table rather than the campfire is where our connection, or our 'firelight talk,' happens." Elevate mealtime to a higher plane by realizing that this is where we strengthen our sacred connection to one other….especiallyon an ordinary Wednesday night over meatloaf and mashed potatoes.
- Bookend Your Day with Rituals for Reflection. For me this means meditation and journaling. But it could just be a simple quiet moment with your cup of coffee in the morning before your day begins. Taking even a few moments before the day gets away from you to quietly center yourself is invaluable. You will enter the morning in a more intentional, peaceful frame of mind. In Circle of Stones, author Judith Duerk tells the story of a woman who lights a candle when she first wakes up for a brief ritual of quiet presence:
"as long as I take time every morning to light a candle to my life, it remains my life. But if I hurry into work without that small moment of quiet, then I've already lost myself, and the day. The task, for me, is to care, daily, for myself and my life….to love and to nurture, within myself, moment by moment, the quality of quiet presence, quietly being present to my life, which sanctifies it…to live as if the candle is lighted.
Likewise, take time to assess the day and find gratitude for the moments that touched your soul in some way, especially the small ones. This is an excellent way to thoughtfully and intentionally shift into the evening hours.
Rest and restore in the sanctuary of everyday moments. Our lives are abundant in the ordinary, and it can be a profound gateway to something greater if we simply shift our perception a little. The depth and meaning we seek in life is often not found in the big things….the parties, weddings, promotions and extravagant vacations. Instead, we can find richness in our lives right where we are as we practice taking pleasure in the everyday stuff of life.

I finally got around to brewing again, this time with a twist. I have way too much beer on hand right now, a problem most would like to have, right? I've had ingredients on hand for a three-gallon batch of Kentucky Common. A brief history, Kentucky Common was a beer brewed before Prohibition in the Louisville area. The records I've read indicate it was a dark cream ale, heavy on adjuncts, mostly maize and some rye. I've tried it several times before but haven't gotten anything I'd drink much of. So this time I did some research and did the recipe pretty straight.
So, with such a small amount of grain on hand (5.5 pounds) I decided to do a Brew in a Bag batch. Here's the setup:
You see the bag, the thermometer, the timer and the supplemental hot plate. My normal brew rig is a propane fired banjo burner but for this small amount, I decided to use the hot plate. It played into the scheme later as I used it to add heat back to the mash. That was a story in itself: I got everything set up, the strike water heated, then the fun began. Heating, cooling, overheating, it's a wonder if I had any beta amylase left and may wind up with a very dextrinous wort. But I got it going and got it done. Here's the temperature control:
Yep, old towels thrown over the pot, inserted into my normal mash tun. But I finally got it to a boil, cloudy and full of stuff I don't normally have in my beers courtesy of a good, fine grind. In the end, I got a 1.062 wort, I was shooting for 1.052 but boiled off more water than normal due to the small volume in my kettle. Cut with water, I hit my numbers. I pitched cream ale yeast at 72 degrees and the wort's aerating now. It'll live in a water bath for a few days during primary fermentation and I'm looking forward to a good Kentucky brew.
