Lots of Herb Blogging Going On All Over the World
Mill Valley, California, U.S.A.
At Anna's Cool Finds, the delightful Anna blogs about restaurants and home-cooked meals. For her entry this week she created a refreshing appertif made of cucumbers and served in cucumber cups which sounds perfect for summer.
Houston, Texas, U.S.A.
Green onions may be the unofficial ingredient of the week, starting with Confections of a Foodie Bride, who brings us Bacon, Cheddar and Green Onion Scones. If you haven't thought of the idea of savory scones, check out this winning recipe.
Outside Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A.
At Mele Cotte, Chris has been buying cherries and eating them while she admired cherry recipes on other food blogs. Luckily for us she finally managed to keep some cherries around long enough to cook something and created Cherry Stuffed Grilled Chicken with Cherry Pepper Salsa.
Vancouver, B.C., Canada
The oregano vs. marjoram debate continues, as Katerina from Daily Unadventures in Cooking uses marjoram in place of oregano in her Lemon Oregano Salmon Skewers. Katerina is fairly new to cooking fish on the grill, but check out her photo and you'll see that this turned out looking fantastic.
San Francisco Bay Area, U.S.A.
Next up is a charming ex-pat blogger from Italy who writes an interesting blog called Briciole. Simona serendipitiously answered my ponderings by writing all about marjoram, and even more serendipity was the fact that her entry arrived right after Katerina's recipe using this herb.
Buffalo, New York, U.S.A.
The talented Mandira from Ahaar brings us lots of interesting Indian recipes, but this time she ventures into Thai cooking with a delightful looking recipe for Tofu Panang Curry. I love everything Thai, but this dish also has cilantro, which makes it a sure winner for me.
Davis, California, U.S.A.
Sher from What Did You Eat has been suffering an attack of the stomach bug, and last week she missed Weekend Herb Blogging for the first time in a long time. I'm so glad she's back, and hopefully doing better every day. Her recipe for Shrimp Salad Rolls with Tarragon Dressing sounds quite amazing; don't miss it.
Sao Paulo, Brazil
Seattle, Washington, U.S.A.
At Nook and Pantry, Amy ponders the difference between stir-frying and sauteeing, and after she figures it out she creates a fabulous Shrimp and Edamame Stir-Fry with Basil. Not only does it look delicious, but you might learn something!
California, U.S.A.
Green onions appear again in an entirely different form in the Green Onion and Minced Ginger Condiment created by Tigerfish of Tezcape. I think this is a combination that would taste good on so many different things, especially grilled fish or chicken.
New York City, New York, U.S.A.
From a woman who knows a lot about herbs, a brand new herb for Weekend Herb Blogging. If you've never heard of Fumitory (and I bet you haven't) visit the Chocolate Lady at In Mol Araan and read about how she uses it to make Fumitory Water.
Kronshagen, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
The oregano vs. marjoram debate rages on as Ulrike from Kuchenlatein confesses she isn't sure which plant survivied in her garden. That means her delicious looking Mediterranean Meatballs with Tomato Sauce are seasoned with either oregano or marjoram. I'm voting for oregano, based on her photo. What do you think? (For those who like to plan ahead, Ulrike is next week's host for Weekend Herb Blogging.)
Halifax, Novia Scotia, Canada
A regular contributor signing in from a new location is Ruth from Once Upon a Feast, who recently moved to Halifax for a very good reason. She made a tasty looking Mushroom Surprise Meatloaf with lots of fresh herbs; great job since her kitchen is still not quite all back together yet.
Mississippi, U.S.A.
The next recipe from Claire at Cooking is Medicine went right into my del.icio.us cookbook. I love the sound of Claire's recipe for Herbed Pork Roast with Thyme; it's going on my huge list of things to try. I have fresh thyme in my garden, but I bet dried thyme would work here too.
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
From Kevin at Closet Cooking came some nice words about Weekend Herb Blogging, plus an exciting recipe with two ingredients that were new to me. Check out Shimeji and Aburage Miso Soup with Dill and see if it doesn't look delicious. Kevin mentioned Shimeji was a type of mushroom, then I used Google to see what Aburage was, so I learned two new things here!
Washington, D.C., U.S.A.
You know it's spring when you start seeing garlic scapes on the food blogs, and Christa from Calendula and Concrete has used this interesting plant part to create a yummy sounding Garlic Scape Pesto. (I'm feeling proud of myself for knowing what garlic scapes are, but Christa will explain if you're not sure, go and see.)
New York Metro Area, New York, U.S.A.
You have simply got to see the Mutant Ninja Baby Cauliflower Susan has photographed at The Well Seasoned Cook. Susan debates the names and origins of green cauliflower, and ends up making a lovely looking Ragu of Cauliflower.
Melbourne, Australia
The long recipe name for Buttermilk and Lemon Myrtle Damper with Tomato Sauce and Bush Mushroom and Sausage Gravy is only the first clue that this next entry from new herb blogger Johanna at Green Gourmet Giraffe is going to be one of the most interesting Weekend Herb Blogging Entries I've ever seen. In honor of Reconciliation Week, an Australian holiday to honor the aboriginal people of her country, Johanna has created a dish not only using the native lemon myrtle of Australia, but also with the colors and shapes of the aboriginal flag. This is not to be missed!
Manhattan, New York City, New York, U.S.A.
Another unique dish is the Polenta Lasagna with Mushrooms, Spinach and Leeks, up next from Miriam of Hungry Hungry Hippo Girl. Miriam served this as part of a veggie-centric Shabbat lunch, which all sounded delicious.
Sarina from Trini Gourmet has really gotten my attention with her entry of Gub Gub "Navy Bean" Salad with Feta Cheese. Quite seriously, everything about this sounds good to me, including the combination of ingredients in the cumin vinaigrette. Now you'll have to visit Trini Gourmet to see what the Gub Gub part of the recipe name means.
Trinidad, California, U.S.A.
What are the odds that two lovely dark-haired women who both live in a place called Trinidad would both blog about white beans and send them to WHB the same weekend AND they would arrive in my inbox, one after the other? Anyway, whatever it means, Christine's Marrow Beans in Garlic, Olive Oil, Lemon and Oregano from Christine Cooks also knocked my socks off. She's making them with the famous beans that so many San Francisco bloggers are raving about too; I must have those beans!
Heart of the Vendee, France
First Katie of Thyme for Cooking starts off teasing us by saying she wonders if cabbage is too boring and mundane for Weekend Herb Blogging, which of course, it isn't at all! And there is nothing at all boring and mundane about the Asian Chicken and Cabbage Salad she ended up with. This salad sounds fantastic!
Outskirts of the Triangle, North Carolina, U.S.A.
I've cooked a lot of zucchini in my time, but I've never made Zucchini Fritters and the ones created by Pookah at What's Cooking in Carolina look delicious. If you have a garden, save this recipe; you'll need it in August.
Andalucia, Spain
I love to marinate meat before cooking it on the grill, and so does Zorra from Kochtopf, who agrees with me that marinating really makes grilled meats taste special. She's sharing a recipe for her Favorite Barbecue/Grill Marinade with Rosemary, which sounds great, and the pork chops she grilled look fantastic.
Forest Falls, California, U.S.A.
Next up are Tips for Using Jalapenos sent by Cyndi of Ruminations (formerly Cookin' with Cyndi.) Next time Cyndi will be wearing gloves, that's one thing I'm sure of. Visit Cyndi to see how to get rid of the sting from hot peppers.
Iowa City, Iowa, U.S.A.
Genie the Inadvertent Gardener has planted some Texas Tarragon and now she's waiting for it to take over her garden. In the meantime, she's looking for tarragon recipes; if anyone has a good one send it her way.
Zurich, Switzerland
Gorgeous photos and a very interesting salad recipe come next from Myriam of Once Upon a Tart. If you're a fan of beets at all, you'll want to make her lovely looking Beetroot Salad with Apples. This can be made with cooked or raw beets, whichever you prefer.
Southern California, U.S.A.
Emily from Superspark has a salad equation. She says salad = greens+fruit+cheese+nuts. That sounds like a good recipe for salad success to me, and her Roasted Pear Salad with Walnuts and Parmesan looks and sounds delicious.
Country Victoria, Australia
Sometimes all you want is pure comfort food; nothing else will do. If you're feeling that way, check out this next recipe for Cauliflower Au Gratin from Pam at The Backyard Pizzeria.
Melbourne, Australia
There is always something special for Weekend Herb Blogging from Haalo of Cook (almost) Anything At Least Once, and this week is no exception. Haalo is using mastic, an ingredient I bet you haven't heard of, and with it she created an amazing dessert called Chois Mastic Panna Cotta. If you want to know what mastic is, hurry and visit Haalo's blog to find out.
Vienna, Austria
The next entry is a two-for-one, with two simple but herbalicious recipes from Astrid at Paulchen's FoodBlog. Astrid reports that the combination of Rosemary-Cheddar Sweet Potatoes and Mushrooms with Basil and Cilantro made a great lunch.
Sydney, Australia
A woman after my own heart is Y from LemonPi.net, who is blogging about the simple radish. I've been on a bit of a radish kick around here too. Don't miss the Simpsonesque description of the radish flavor, or Y's sandwich with radishes, anchovies, mache, and butter.
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Another authentic Australian ingredient that's new to me! Anh from Food Lover's Journey has used wattle seeds to make Wattle Seed, Apple and Almond Cake. Of course you realize how excited I am to be learning about another new ingredient. Visit Anh to learn more about this seed that's used by the aboriginal Australian peoples.
Tallinn, Estonia
More great photos, and another new ingredient from Pille of Nami Nami! Seems that Pille and her boyfriend have been out foraging for wild plants and picked some Ground Elder. They have turned it into a wonderfully delicious looking Hortapita or Greek Pie with Wild Greens. Pille gives some other names for Ground Elder, one of which I did recognize; read her post to see if this grows where you are. (Check out Pille's great new blog header while you're there.)
Bloomington, Indiana, U.S.A.
This time it's not an ingredient, but a dish that's new to me from Burcu at Almost Turkish Recipes. If you've had the middle eastern salad made from bulgar called Tabbouleh, you must see the version of Turkish Tabbouleh or Kisir that Burcu has made. The Kisir has plenty of fresh parsley, and lots of other interesting ingredients that make it sound very special to me.
San Francisco Bay Area, California, U.S.A.
More green onions, this time in a lovely-sounding Chinese dish prepared by the mother of Yich from Sim Cooks. Lucky Yich gets to watch her mother cook Minced Pork with Tofu and Mushrooms and take notes as she does it; what could be better than that, except eating it?
Dublin, Ohio, U.S.A.
An improvised recipe that turned out to be a success is the next offering of Pork Loin with Mustard Caper Sauce from Charise of More Bread and Cheese Please. I love capers, so this sounds like a great combination to me.
That's it for Week #85 of blogging about herbs, plants, veggies, and flowers. Did you learn something? (That was a rhetorical question!) See you next week over at Ulrike's place.

Nasdaq finally has something to cheer. Dow Jones industrial average component Kraft Foods announced Friday that it is moving its listing from the New York Stock Exchange to Nasdaq (NDAQ) on June 26, 2012.
With Kraft's move, Nasdaq is landing not one but two new stocks. Kraft Foods (KFT) will keep its grocery business under the Kraft name and symbol, KFT. Later this year its snacks business with start trading under the name Mondelez with the symbol MDLZ.
When asked about the switch, a NYSE spokesperson said: "It's been a privilege to serve the company and its shareholders."
After Nasdaq's epic bungling of Facebook's (FB) initial public offering, the exchange can finally point to Kraft's move as a sign that companies see something enticing about trading there.
Kraft decided to review its exchange listing when it agreed to split into two companies. It has been meeting with both exchanges for months, said a source close to Nasdaq. The company wrapped up its decision over the past few weeks, said the source.
It's the fourth company that Nasdaq has lured away from its crosstown rival this year. Texas Instruments (TXN) started trading on Nasdaq on the first day of the year, and fellow tech companies Western Digital (WDC) and Analog Devices (ADI) also jumped ship.
While Kraft can at least momentarily burnish Nasdaq's reputation, the NYSE (NYX) is still far ahead of Nasdaq in the defection battle. Eight companies have left Nasdaq this year, including TD Ameritrade (AMTD) and Teva Pharmaceuticals (TEVA).
The biggest test of the two exchanges will come when, and if, there's another initial public offering. But by most accounts, the Facebook fiasco will keep that IPO pipeline frozen shut for awhile.
At an exchange conference Thursday yesterday, Chris Concannon, a former Nasdaq executive who now runs the trading firm Virtu Financial said: "The IPO window is gone, literally gone, because of this IPO. Investors have no more confidence."

Get More: BUCKWILD, Full Episodes
Worry not, folks: The dream of the Television Age is alive and well at MTV. With the sad departure of Jersey Shore, the network's award-winning anthropological investigation into the leisure activities of the Garden State's youth (youth who, by and large, were not actually from that state), MTV is now gearing up to bring another fine exemplar of educational entertainment right into your home. This time, however, they're setting their sights on the rustic charms and winkingly implied ignorance of a gang of youngsters from Sissonville, West Virginia.
While the decision to set the show in a state already valued as a national punchline may seem like shooting fish in a barrel—which, incidentally, is probably one of the activities featured on the show—the trailer for Buckwild makes it clear that the creators are not in this for cheap laughs. Rather, the group of friends who will serve both as stars of the show and cultural ambassadors to the world at large appear fully aware of the burden placed upon them to favorably represent their vibrant rural community in all of its rich traditions, which they assume by doing things like sliding and/or wrestling in mud, setting things on fire, and driving around the backwoods in a veritable bevy of unsafe and irresponsibly helmed vehicles. Come Jan. 3, MTV viewers can look forward to weekly, double-episode installments of this long-overdue vindication of the peoples of Appalachia. [via The Hollywood Reporter]

What to look for when visiting the Bears summer camp starting Friday.
Chicago Bears fans who have attended training camp in Bourbonnais know what there is to do: not much.
It's hardly the tourism capital of Illinois. Yet it's exactly what NFL teams like, as their players can concentrate on football, and hopefully, avoid distractions.
The team works out and stays at Olivet Nazarene University. Fans can attend practices and get a taste of football before the regular season kicks off Sept. 9 at San Diego. Chicago's camp opens at 3 p.m. Friday and concludes with an 11:10 a.m. practice Aug. 18. It's advised that you call 815-352-3277 to verify practice times before making the trip, as they occasionally change.
It's a fan-friendly atmosphere when you get there. Fans can sit in bleachers or bring chairs. Bring plenty of sunscreen, if this year is anything like last year, when the first half of camp was conducted in sweltering conditions.
Food and beverages are available on-site. Fans can collect autographs, and sometimes watch and listen to live SCORE (670 AM) and WMVP (1000 AM) shows. As for practices, sometimes fans can pick and choose different fields to watch different drills.
Between practice sessions or when the day's schedule is complete, there are the typical fast-food franchises and chain restaurants along Route 50, such as Applebees, Red Lobster, Pizza Hut and Ruby Tuesday.
A couple of readers offered their recommendations. Chris Ecker of Rockford suggests pizza at the Traxx in Grant Park, about 20 minutes outside of town. He notes that there are half-price specials Tuesdays.
Chris Dilley said in an e-mail that the best Bar-B-Que is at Soul Da Soul, at 559 E. Court St. in Kankakee. He calls it "deeeelicious."
When the sun sets and you want to spot Bears at night, the most popular place is just off campus at T.J. Donlin, a bar at 118 Main St. RD's bar is next door.
Rockford Register Star staff writer Reed Schreck can be reached at 815-987-1381 or email@example.com.

Retail sales rise a scant 0.1 percent in April
WASHINGTON - U.S. retail sales growth slowed in April, with consumers shopping less online and cutting back on purchases of furniture and electronics.
The Commerce Department said Tuesday that retail sales rose just 0.1 percent last month, after surging 1.5 percent in March following a harsh winter that had curtailed shopping.
Auto sales increased 0.6 percent in April, and purchases at clothing stores were up 1.2 percent. But most of those gains were offset by declines in spending at restaurants, online retailers and furniture and electronics stores. Excluding autos and gasoline, retail sales fell 0.1 percent last month.
The modest sales suggest that consumers continue to be cautious during the still-slow, nearly 5-year recovery. Higher sales would help drive faster overall economic growth because consumers account for about 70 percent of all economic activity.
But wages have not budged much during the recovery, and growth has struggled to eclipse 3 percent, the average annual gain after World War II.
The Commerce Department previously reported that the economy grew just 0.1 percent in the January-March quarter. That figure could slip into negative territory as the government revises it, according to several economists.
But the brutal winter depressed the economy during the first quarter, and economic indicators since then have pointed to stronger growth in the current April-June quarter. Many economists are looking for a rebound to growth of around 3 percent in the current quarter and similarly solid readings for the rest of the year.
Hiring has been strong for the past three months. Employers added 288,000 jobs in April, after gains of more than 200,000 in the previous two months. But average wages were flat in April.
The slow but steady improvement expected for this year has led the Federal Reserve to trim its monthly bond purchases. The Fed is buying $45 billion of bonds each month, down from $85 billion. The purchases were intended to reduce long-term interest rates in order to stimulate borrowing, spending and growth. But with the economy gaining strength, Fed officials believe that type of support is no longer needed.

Attention all Puppy app developers
If you maintain any application/script that runs in Puppy, this may be relevant to you. Please read my blog post:
You can of course just ignore it, if you don't want anything to do with running Puppy non-root, which I understand. However, it might be something very simple to make your app compliant in a non-root environment.
If you want somewhere to test your app running non-root, that is, as 'fido', grab the latest Wary 188.8.131.52:
Personally, I will always continue to run as root, but offering 'fido' will shut up the critics. Those who insist that they must run as non-root can do so, and put up with all the hassles. It is their choice.
There is going to be a downside maybe. If a reviewer chooses to run Puppy as 'fido' but finds some things are broken, then it will not be a good review. So, for now, 'fido' is being offered, but if it turns out to be too buggy after a period of development, I will withdraw it.
Removing support for 'fido' in Woof is a simple matter of commenting out one line in /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown. So, any Puppy-builder can individually choose not to offer 'fido'. Or the opposte -- if I default to not offering fido, any Woof Puppy-builder can choose to re-enable it.

Me too.
Those wishing to spread FUD (Fido, Ubuntu and Distrowitch)
will always be with us. Always great to have choice
Users are not always penguin savvy
and many hexperts manage only to bleat the sheep mantras
'The root route is baaaaahhh dddd . . .'
Our own FUD (Fear Uncertainty and Doubt) is all in the mind
I may use future Fido to match my non-existent tin foil hat
. . . for now safely running Wary

m m m . . . no one seems to have mentioned why Fido is a good thing? Tin foil hats on. Paranoia dial set to max. Some scenarios:
1. Puppy is now running compatible programs from other distros
eg Dpup, Spup, Upup. If a rogue program (not yet available) requires route access for some malwarian purpose, we need to turn Fido on. The option is good.
2. Complete running (including dependencies) programs such as Google Chrome (Not yet doing too much evil) or those from portableapps.com may be able to do damage from within (not yet available). Chances are any such sophistication will easily bypass or enable root access. So a non standard Fido may be useful.
3. Perception. Run Fido, be hampered but feel secure and then repeat safety mantra eg 'Root baaaa ddddd . .'
4. Threats or combined combinations of Flash, HTML 5, javascript or some such created by (insert malwarians of choice) to send out any data/access of use.
Access to information is started by the intelligence community and followed by commercial and semi criminal marketing requirements. Often working in semi-collusion.
A non standard root implementation using a Quirky Fido may be the last bastion of cyber civilisation as we know it . . .

Subject description: Puppy and Root
I love to use Puppy and I just hate to use any OS that has to be run any other way. If I need to go get something off my HD and have to stop and type in a password it just P's me off.
I made my mind up along time ago if I put something on my system that I don't want others to know about I just put it on a CD, DVD are a usb drive. My banking that I do on line I use a DVD with firewall setup with it. I have a firewall on my Router. So do I need to go get me a tin foil hat
I have read all the reviews that I can find on Puppy. The first thing I have noticed is that the reviewer lets you know they do not like Puppy to start with. So would this change their mind are just make the users and the ones who work to bring Puppy to us want to leave.
Puppy is not like other LinuxOS's, the big MS are Mac. It is THE PUPPY just like my little dog I call The Cricket. She is not a big dog but she will try to run with the big dogs. That has been the HEART of PUPPY that keeps it going.
Everyone that works on it has one thing in mind to build the smallest platform to do the fastest, the best and the finest desktop possible. They are getting better with each release.
I want to THANK YOU ALL for the work and time spend on PUPPY.

Yes, there is always a level of pain when getting a tattoo and generally the tolerance level is up to the individual, but our talented artist take great care to make sure you are relaxed, comfortable, and confident. A skilled hand can make the experience much more enjoyable, and those are the hands we employ here at Tattoolicious.
I'm a paragraph. Click here to add your own text and edit me. It's easy. Just click "Edit Text" or double click me to add your own content and make changes to the font.
Infection is caused by bacteria getting into the raw wound, so yes, you are able to get an infection. But it all depends on how well you care for the tattoo after your appointment. Your artist will cover the area with a bandage immediately following your session and will provide you with instructions on how to properly care for the tattoo. As long as you follow the instructions provided, your risk of infection will decrease dramatically.
Proper care will help the tattoo heal properly, and reduce the risk of infection. It will also help with the overall appearance of the tattoo, causing the colors to remain bold and bright and remain beautiful for years to come.
Tattoos are permanent body art created by professionals using tattoo guns to puncture skin and insert ink below the first layer of skin. It is important to know how to treat a new tattoo in order to speed up your healing time and avoid negative side effects. Consider the following when learning how to treat a new tattoo.
Listen to your tattoo artist. If you've done your homework and chosen a good tattoo artist, he or she will provide detailed instructions and you should follow them carefully. Think of your tattoo as having a warranty; if you don't follow the artist's instructions, you might void the warranty and he or she won't give you free touch-ups.
Leave the bandage on. You should leave it on anywhere between two hours to 24 hours. Make sure a thick, absorbent, non-stick ABD wound dressing is used. Your tattoo artist will give you a time frame. Be patient. The bandage is there to protect your tattoo from airborne bacteria, which can penetrate through your broken skin.
Soak the bandage with warm water when removing it. This is optional but recommended if the bandage is stuck to your tattoo and offers resistance.
Wash the tattoo. Most artists recommend lukewarm water and mild, unscented liquid antibacterial or antimicrobial soap. Use your hands (not a wash cloth) and gently remove all traces of blood so it doesn't scab. Pat (don't rub) dry with a clean towel or a paper towel.
Apply ointment. Many tattoo artists advise that you use ointment for 2-3 days. Ointment lasts longer than lotion, reducing the number of times you need to apply it and thus lessening the amount of rubbing. Apply a thin layer that's just enough to make the tattoo shine, or else you'll suffocate it. Apply it twice a day. Switch over to lotion when your tattoo artist says so.
Continue washing and applying ointment or lotion as directed by your tattoo artist until the tattoo heals. The tattoo might look cloudy for a few days as it heals. This is called "onion skin." You'll know you have "onion skin" when the tattoo looks clearer when wet.
Yes, we require you to pay an $40 deposit to hold your appointment time, and also allow our artists to begin your drawing (drawing is work!). If you cancel within 48 hours, you will not receive your deposit back.

A lire sur: http://searchcio.techtarget.com/news/2240211485/For-senior-IT-job-satisfaction-optimism-tied-to-innovation-and-growth
Published: 19 Dec 2013
Published: 19 Dec 2013
For senior IT executives, the view from the top was a little brighter in 2013. Results from this year's TechTarget IT Salary and Career Survey indicated that as the U.S. emerges from the Great Recession, IT leaders are feeling positive about their jobs and also detect a sense of optimism within the organizations they serve. And while the sunny outlook is helped along by stable and surging salaries, as documented by the survey results, money isn't all that is making the glass appear half full.
Our drive for innovation keeps everyone motivated, challenged and engaged at all times.Daniel Salama, CIO, MCNA Dental
One reason for the optimism? Company business is picking up for many of the senior IT execs in our survey, and that's encouraging them to stick around. The survey found that 53% of the 464 senior IT leader respondents aspire to stay with their current company for the next three to five years. Among that group, 23% would like to move up in the company, 14% hope to move up in the IT organization, and 14% would be happy to stay in their current role.
In all, 68% expressed happiness with their job, 23% claimed they were satisfied with their current position and company, and 45% said they'd be open to new opportunities but weren't actively looking. Senior IT executives were defined as CIOs, chief technology officers (CTOs), executive vice presidents and directors of IT/MIS/IS.
Daniel Salama, CIO for Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based MCNA Dental, counts himself among that 53% of senior IT leaders who see themselves sticking with their company for at least three to five more years. "It's an exciting time," he said. "The company is growing quickly, which keeps everyone challenged and on their toes." Salama plans on growing with the company, and anticipates his job will transition to a higher authority role in the next few years.
For the CIO at a regional IT consulting practice in the Northeast who requested anonymity, the chance to grow along with a burgeoning business also factors into his current job satisfaction. He's part of the leadership team at the practice, and right now that's right where he wants to be. After spending years in unhappy work situations in order to develop his technical and leadership skills, he has earned the luxury of taking only the jobs he wants.
"I have a seat at the table and a voice in the overall direction the company is moving. … I am quite content where I am," he said.
"My job satisfaction includes knowing that my own employees feel they've achieved their own definition of job satisfaction and that I've helped them in achieving that," Salama said.For MCNA Dental's Salama, job satisfaction boils down to a handful of simple yet important things, like knowing he's making a difference in his company and for their clients, feeling eager to come to work even when it stretches beyond the normal 9 to 5 hours, and being recognized for accomplishments. And it also hinges on the job satisfaction of those who work for him.
Optimism inspired by growth and innovation
It's easier to feel good about work when the vibe is upbeat. Among the senior IT executives in our survey, 78% said the mood in their organization was either optimistic (39%) or neutral (38%). Two of the top reasons cited for the mostly positive outlook were the encouragement of innovation (61%) and business growth (34%). That correlation is key, according to Salama.
As the company grows, his team is working on "exciting" projects and has the freedom to stay on the "bleeding edge," he said.
"We're tasked to continuously innovate our technologies and be the best of the best in what we do," Salama said. This requires a lot of hard work, but results in a great deal of satisfaction. "Our drive for innovation keeps everyone motivated, challenged and engaged at all times."
Sam Cattle, now practice manager at Cincinnati-based Mainstream Security, agreed. "To excel at a job, innovation and growth are key," he said. Cattle recently left a job where many of the factors cited by IT leaders in the survey as being crucial to a positive outlook were waning or lacking entirely. There were layoffs, unresolved customer challenges and no growth. His new IT organization is different.
"The care and feeding elements -- budget, training, effective management, career management and advancement -- are critical, from an employee's point of view," Cattle said. He loves what he's doing and would be happy to continue working for Mainstream Security into the foreseeable future.
"Nothing is driving me to look," he said. "I'm bullish on my new company."

Barnett named vice provost for University space planning
Robert Barnett, assistant director of Princeton's Office of Physical Planning, will join the Office of the Provost on Jan. 1 as vice provost for University space planning. He will succeed Al Sinisgalli, who will retire after 30 years of service.
Barnett will advise the provost on overall space planning at the University. He will be responsible for strategic planning of new building projects and renovations, bringing together academic, administrative and support functions.
"Princeton is a far better place because of all that Al has contributed over a distinguished career to our research and space planning," said Provost Amy Gutmann. "Al has successfully overseen a multitude of challenging projects, and imparted a great spirit to Princeton at every step along the way."
"I am delighted that Bob has accepted this position and I very much look forward to working with him," she continued. "Since joining the University in 1994, Bob's exemplary service, architectural sensibility and leadership skills have earned him the great respect and admiration of his colleagues on campus as well as of consulting architects."
Barnett has served as the project manager for the construction or renovation of many University buildings, including the Icahn Laboratory, Frist Campus Center, McDonnell Hall and Marquand Library. In addition to taking on his new responsibilities, he will continue to be the project manager for the University's new science library, which is being designed by Frank Gehry.
Barnett's career as an architect and planner spans 30 years. Before joining the Princeton facilities staff, he worked for leading architectural firms in Princeton, Los Angeles and New York. For 15 years, he has taught construction technology in professional and technical schools; he currently is an adjunct professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. He also serves as an editor, writer and photographer for the architectural press.
A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, Barnett earned his master of architecture degree from Columbia University.

It's well documented that the iPhone App Store has been a roaring success since it opened in 2008, but the sheer numbers being rung up on Apple's till are worth closer inspection.
According to analysts at AdMob, the iTunes-based software outlet is currently taking almost £123 million a month, or nearly £1.5 billion a year.
Coining it in
Put another way, that means the market for iPhone games, add-ons and utilities sucks in a staggering £2,850 each and every second of the day.
As with many things connected to Apple, the numbers are certainly not official, but we can have confidence in AdMob's findings, as the methodology is laid out for all to see.
Add-ons are popular
The company breaks the data down further to reveal the surprising finding that iPod touch users actually spend slightly more at the App Store than do iPhone owners, however the fact that over 40 per cent of people with either device spend money on apps is impressive.
By comparison, AdMob says only 19 per cent of Android phone owners pay for new software, although that is likely to grow when more phones come out and the amount of software available increases too.

Former "American Idol" Fantasia Barrino has been released from a North Carolina hospital, two days after overdosing on aspirin and a sleep aid in what police have called a suicide attempt, E! News reported.
"She has been lifted up by the outpouring of love and support from her fans," manager Brian Dickens told E! in a statement Wednesday. "She is more committed than ever to her daughter and her work because they are her heart, her soul and inspiration."
News of the season three "Idol"-winner's hospital exit came hours after the release of the Monday 911 call from an unidentified man who said he was outside her home.
U.S. & World
On the tape, which was obtained by People mag and other websites, a male voice said the singer was "slowly losing consciousness," after having ingested a bottle of aspirin.
Barrino was "half-way" awake and breathing, and her family had put her in the shower to keep her awake, the man told an emergency responder.
"Tell them to take her out of the shower and turn the water off please. Do that right now," the operator said.
Barrino was later taken to the Charlotte hospital and treated overnight for overdosing on "aspirin and a sleep aid," according to her manager.
Dickens told CNN Tuesday that Barrino overdosed the same day she read a court complaint by a woman who has accused the singer of destroying her marriage by having a year-long affair with her husband and allegedly making a sex tape with him.
Through her manager, Barrino has acknowledged the affair, but denied being a homewrecker. She has not directly addressed the sex tape claim.
"Fantasia is heartbroken and is sorry for any pain she may have caused," Dickens said on Tuesday, adding that "she was totally overwhelmed by the lawsuit and the media attention."
Cops with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department have termed the incident a suicide attempt in their report, according to People.
Since performing on "Idol," Barrino has gone on to record albums and star in "The Color Purple" on Broadway.
Her latest album, "Back to Me," hits shelves Aug. 24.

Revision as of 13:07, June 17, 2006
Iona, population 175, is a small island (1 mile wide, 3.5 miles long) of the Inner Hebrides, Scotland.
In 563 St. Columba of Iona, exiled from his native Ireland, founded a monastery here, and from here Orthodox Christianity spread to the rest of Scotland. Numerous martyrs and other saints were produced from Iona, including not only St. Columba but also St. Aidan of Lindisfarne and others. Many believe that the Book of Kells was produced on Iona at this time. The monastery survived until the Protestant Reformation.
Iona also became the burial site for the kings of Dalriada and their successors, the early kings of Scotland.
The Modern Era
In 1938 the Church of Scotland Minister George MacLeod founded the Iona Community, an "ecumenical" Christian community of men and women from different walks of life and different traditions in the Christian church that is committed to seeking new ways of living the gospel of Jesus Christ in today's world. The Community, which has care of the abbey, despite its ecumenical scope, is primarily affiliated to the [Church of Scotland, to whose General Assembly it reports annually.
The community is doctrinally liberal, strongly committed to working for social justice and produces much contemporary Celtic Christian material through its Wild Goose arm. Such material, however, is at wide variance with Orthodox Christianity (e.g. in its frequent avoidance of the Trinitarian name of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and its replacement with economic descriptions of divine action, such as 'Creator, Redeemer, Sanctifier'). This said, the community is not tied up with any form of neo-pagan Celtic religion.
Iona Abbey is of particular historical and religious interest to pilgrims, and also of note is Iona Nunnery, a site of 13th century ruins and a colourful garden. Iona is popular among visitors for its tranquility and natural beauty. It is often described by Iona community members as a 'thin' place, at which God is less hidden than in the city. Its geographical features include the Bay at the Back of the Ocean and the Hill with His Back to Ireland, said to be adjacent to the beach where St. Columba landed.
Orthodoxy and Iona Today
In 1997, Friends of Orthodoxy on Iona was founded, being the 1400th anniversary of the repose of St. Columba of Iona. They are an informal group (mainly composed of Orthodox Christians but also welcoming Christians of other traditions) which organizes pilgrimages to Iona and related holy sites in the British Isles.
Their chairman is Bishop Kallistos (Ware) of Diokleia, who often leads the pilgrimages, and they have counted among their patrons Metropolitan Anthony (Bloom) of Sourozh until his repose in 2003.
Unhappily, the Friends are based in London, and very few take any interest in Scottish Orthodoxy more generally, beyond valuing Iona as a location for annual retreat. In this its social values are (like its membership) akin to those of the ex-Anglican component of the Diocese of Sourozh. Ironically, it is precisely such a sentimentalised and otherworldly vision of Iona which the Iona community itself seeks to oppose through its commitment to social justice.

text: MurphyDawg Posted November 15, 2007 I haven't been around much, but I thought I would share a review of a great pairing I had recently. Name: Vegas Robaina Famosos Size: 5" (127 mm) Gauge:50 Weight: 10.86 grams Box Code: AML SEP 06 Vitola: Hermoso No. 4 Country of Origin: Cuba Tobacco Procedence: Vuelta Abajo Factory: H. Upmann Appearance: This is one pretty looking cigar. Fairly firm for a Cuban cigar, but not too much so, construction seems to be a plus. Graced with a smooth milk-chocolate wrapper, delicious looking with nary a vein to be seen, this is one of the prettiest looking habanos I have seen to date. Pre-Light: Clip was easy and a non issue. It was more like peeling the triple cap off than clipping anyway. There-light draw had a bit of resistance but was not difficult by any means. Notes from pre light were dry and earthy and/or woody. Burn/Draw: This might have been the best burning Cuban cigar I have ever had! Almost all of the Habanos I have smoked needed a touch up at some point (no matter how minor) but this one was the first true light and forget. The burn was long and slow and cool, it took about an hour to smoke this cigar. The draw was in the middle of the scale, not loose, nor tight, and I think that helped the nice cool burn. The ash was firm and mottled, and held for about two inches. Flavors: This is one very tasty cigar. It starts with a birth of rich, organic earthiness. Then it settles in to a plethora of nice dry notes. That is the aspect that intrigued me the most about this cigar. There is no real discernible sweet note in this cigar. There are plenty of fabulous dry notes, that nice earthy base note, and on top of that there were several different burning wood smells and tastes. this cigar is staunchly medium strength and medium bodied, which I think fits the profile of the stogie quite well. The flavor was pretty consistent the whole way down the length of the cigar, with not much in the way of change or development. On the whole I would say that this is a good Cuban cigar to have at a herf, where you want something much better than average, but consistant that does not necessarily demand your attention to examine its nuances (because you know what you are going to get here). This would make a good staple Cuban cigar, and you should try it if you get the chance. Recommended. As For The Ancient Ancient Age, this is one of the best budget pours there is out there, all caramel smoothness and delicious sweetness. It is a shame that it isnt more wisely available.

It's looking like we can expect a dream-sequence, flashback, or hallucination in Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Last Friday, Martin Sheen was on the RTE's Late Late Show [Via Bleeding Cool] with Ryan Tubridy, and said, "I'm going to be Uncle Ben in Spider-Man once again next year. We shoot it in February." It's welcome news considering that Sheen was one of the best parts of the original film. Of course, how we see him in the sequel will be fun, but I'll put my money on flash-back, although hallucinatory Obi-wan-like-councilor-figure would be hilarious.
Over the past couple of months, the sequel has been lining up new cast members including Jamie Foxx as the villain Electro, Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborne, and Shailene Woodley in a small role as Mary Jane. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is due out May 2, 2014.

The Bosque Redondo Memorial at Fort Sumner State Monument solemnly remembers the dark days of suffering from 1863 to 1868 when the U.S. Military persecuted and imprisoned 9,500 Navajo (the Diné) and 500 Mescalero Apache (the N'de) on a reservation known as Bosque Redondo at Fort Sumner, New Mexico— an area that encompassed 1,600 square miles (over one million acres).
The Bosque Redondo Memorial celebrates these two cultures' dignity, resilience, endurance, courage and strength, in the face of extreme hardship, isolation, sickness and death, to emerge from Bosque Redondo to become the admired and proud people they are today.
We invite you to walk with us as we look into the Navajo and Mescalero Apache cultures and trace the history of the events that led to their terrible incarceration at Bosque Redondo, their incredible survival, and emotional return to their respective homelands.
Tour with us and learn about the Bosque Redondo Memorial that "remembers their past... and celebrates their future."
"The Bosque Redondo Memorial mission is to respectfully interpret the history of two cultures, the Diné (Navajo) and the
N'de (Mescalero Apache) during the United States government's military campaign of ethnic persecution in the 1860's."

Article content
Among his tasks as Los Angeles Kings captain two summers ago, Dustin Brown was asked to help recruit an available offensive superstar.
It was one of the few team assignments that he has failed recently.
When it was down to the Kings and New Jersey Devils in the wooing of Ilya Kovalchuk last summer, Brown was involved in the effort to convince the Russian star that west was best.
It only involved a short car ride and, ultimately, it didn't work out as Kovalchuk bought into Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello's vow that his team was ready to open up offensively.
"You knew it was the Devils and us and it was 50-50 one way or the other," Brown said Tuesday at the Stanley Cup Final media day. "Did I have a gut feeling one way or the other? Not really."
The Kings' loss was of obvious gain to the Devils, a storyline that will continue to develop in the final. Kovalchuk enters the series, which begins Wednesday night, as the leading scorer in the post-season and a contributor in so many ways to the Devils' success.
The Kovalchuk connection is just one of many between the Kings and Devils, teams that entered the final as low seeds and long shots.
Here's a look at some of them:
* Captain America. Given that Brown and opposing captain Zach Parise are both American, it is guaranteed that just the second U.S.-born player will be presented the Cup. The only other was Derian Hatcher, who hoisted the trophy with the Dallas Stars in 1999.
"I've known Zach pretty much from the time we were 15 or 16 years old," Brown said. "We played in numerous tournaments together. I'm sure we roomed together at times. He was one of those guys I met and got along with right away.
"It's a good thing overall for USA Hockey. I think American hockey is going in the right direction and having more players in the spotlight."
Both captains are 27 years old and were teammates on the U.S. team that won the silver medal at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
* Low-seeded long shots. The Kings began the playoffs at odds of 27-1 to win the Cup and knocked off the top three seeds in the West in order -- Vancouver, St. Louis and Phoenix. The Devils were No. 6 in the East and at 22-1 before beating No. 3 Florida, No. 5 Philadelphia and the No. 1-seeded New York Rangers.
Whichever team wins will become the lowest seed to ever win the Cup, beating out the 1995 Devils, who were No. 5 in the East.
"I don't think it matters (what seed you are)," Lamoriello said. "Don't be choosy. We think we are favoured every night we play a game."
* Fourth Generation. A big key to the success of both teams thus far has been their ability to roll four lines with success, making them much more difficult to defend.
"It's been critical," Devils coach Peter DeBoer said. "You don't play 20, 25 playoff games, (with) the grind, the emotion, the battle, without having depth. You just can't."
* The Kitchener Connection. At the 2003 Memorial Cup in Quebec City, the Kitchener Rangers were coached by Peter DeBoer, captained by Mike Richards and at times informed by David Clarkson.
The three will have big roles in the big Cup over the next couple of weeks. DeBoer, of course, is the coach of the Devils now with Clarkson emerging as an important third liner. Richards is a key forward for the Kings.
* Larry Robinson. The former Habs great is no stranger to Stanley Cups, of course, and has been given much credit by DeBoer for helping them some of the younger Devils buy into his coaching plan. He is also the only man to be the head coach of the Devils and Kings.

The rate at which employees are offered healthcare benefits—and the rate at which they enroll—are both in decline, according to a report released in July by the Employee Benefit Research Institute.
Although fewer workers are offered and enrolled in employer-sponsored health benefits, EBRI noted that the link between health coverage and employment is still strong. Over 58% of people under age 65 are covered by a health plan through their job. That included 68% of workers and 35% of nonworkers.
"Because of the linkage between employment and access to health coverage, the likelihood of a worker being uninsured is tied to the strength of the economy and the unemployment rate," Paul Fronstin, author of the report, wrote.
The percentage of people covered by health plans through their employer stayed relatively steady between 1996 and 2007, bouncing between just under 60% and to almost 62% in that time period. After the recession began, coverage fell from 60% to 57% in May 2008. Employment-based coverage continued to decline even after the recession technically ended and recovery began. By October 2011, 55% of workers were enrolled in employer-sponsored health plans.
The percentage of workers covered as dependents also fell, EBRI found. After increasing in the late '90s, then fell steadily from 18% in 2000 to between 16% and 17% by the end of 2007. It remained relatively stable between 2007 and July 2009, wavering between 16.6% and 17.9%.
"It appeared that the increase in dependent coverage during this period offset the decline in coverage that workers received through their own jobs," Fronstin wrote. "During the post-August 2009 period, when coverage through workers' own jobs appeared be starting to recover, the percentage of workers with coverage as dependents declined, slipping to 17% by December 2009 before increasing slightly to 17.9% by September 2011."
Fronstin attributed the growth in dependent coverage prior to 2011 to the decrease in workers' own coverage.
Most uninsured workers cited cost as their reason for not enrolling. Since 2009, the percentage of uninsured workers who don't enroll in health insurance plans because they are too expensive has remained near 90%.
In 2001, about 40% of workers said they weren't offered insurance benefits at work. By the end of 2011, that percentage fell to 22%. Less than 10% of workers said they are ineligible for workplace benefits because they don't work enough hours or were recently hired, or simply declined because they didn't think they needed it.
