As a frequent air traveler, have you ever been in a situation of dashing across the airport terminal just to get to the flight gate? The reason might be various; one of the popular is forgetting the distance of the terminal entrance to the furthest gate in the airport. The article below by Zoe Li from CNNgo.com might help!
A new study shows that just getting your butt onto the plane is half the journey done, especially if you're leaving Beijing.
China's capital has one of the world's longest treks to an airport departure gates. Direct Line insurance measured the distance between the Beijing Capital Airport Terminal 3 entrance and the furthest departure gate at the terminal. It came in at 3.2 kilometers.
Atlanta and Zurich follow close behind with 2.09 and 2.04 kilometers between the airport entrance and the furthest gate. Hong Kong International Airport is at a rather more reasonable length at slightly over 1.5 kilometers. If you're late, you can still make a dash for it within four minutes.
After all, Taoufik Makhloufi did his 1500-meter run in three minutes and 34 seconds for his Olympic gold this summer. There again, he didn't have any carry-on luggage to weigh him down. Airports with the furthest distance from terminal entrance to the furthest gate, including shuttle transfers within the airport:
Within the United Kingdom:
Gatwick (North Terminal) – 1.8 kilometers
Heathrow (Terminal 5) – about 1.22 kilometers
Manchester – about 0.91 kilometers
Stansted – 0.77 kilometers
Luton – 0.53 kilometers
Beijing Capital (Terminal 3) – 3.2 kilometers
Atlanta – 2.09 kilometers
Zurich – 2.04 kilometers
Frankfurt – 1.88 kilometers
Seoul – 1.69 kilometers
Hong Kong – 1.58 kilometers
New York JFK – 1.13 kilometers
Amsterdam Schipol – 0.98 kilometers
Dubai International – 0.89 kilometers

Oman Air announced its successful participation at the recently concluded Salalah Tourism Festival, which is considered to be one of the region's premier events. The Festival that coincides with the annual monsoon season is a big attraction to Western visitor, though the vast majority of the tourists are from Oman, the rest of the GCC and the Middle East. More than one million and half people turned up for this year's Salalah Tourism Festival, figures show.
Oman Air held many events and weekly raffles at its site at the Festival Ground, which added more colour and gaiety to the festive atmosphere.
On the 23rd of July, Oman Air organised a special event that was witnessed by hundreds of people to commemorate the Sultanate's 41st Blessed Renaissance Day, which marked Oman's rebirth as a nation. A historic day on which the modern Renaissance in the Sultanate began, and His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said announced the beginning of a new and glorious era on July 23, 1970.
The event offered visitors the opportunity to take part in a range of activities and to win prizes – which for the lucky winners meant taking home return tickets between two of Oman Air's 40-plus destinations.
Usama Bin Karim Al Haremi, Head of Oman Air's Corporate Communications and Media, commented:
"This event has been a wonderful opportunity for us to join up with our customers and the general public to celebrate The Renaissance Day, also to participate fully in The Salalah Tourism Festival of which Oman Air is proud to be the Official Carrier and Diamond Sponsor. Apart from entertaining activities, the festival attractions included exhibitions, child and traditional villages and theatre shows. Most of the activities were staged in the Municipality's Entertainment Centre.
"As well as being a lot of fun, the event has been a great opportunity for us to engage with locals, and to show our appreciation for all their support and encouragement."
"We would like to thank all those who joined us and we look forward to continuing our support of the Salalah Tourism Festival, as well as other events that play a key part in the life of the Sultanate of Oman."
The Salalah Festival began on 1st July and ran until the end of the month. It is held every year to coincide with the Khareef, the monsoon season, which is unique to this southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, bringing cool relief from the heat of the Gulf summer. In recent years, Salalah has become a popular destination for tourists on luxury holidays.
This year, STF attracted more visitors than ever before; hence Oman Air increased the number of its flights between Muscat and Salalah to meet the demand. Also, the carrier has introduced a special low offer of RO 51 for the Muscat Salalah sector.

Recipe File: Cooked Egg Nog
Article Digest:
Egg nog is a classic, rich beverage served at Christmastime. There are many variations out there that range from alcohol-free to practically hard liquor with some creamy flavoring, but most egg nogs have one thing in common: raw eggs. Even if you closely examine the eggs for cracks and wash them before cracking them open, consuming raw eggs presents a slight health risk - a risk magnified if you or your guests have weakened immune systems or are pregnant. Here's a recipe that cooks the eggs first to help reduce the risk even further.
Start by assembling six large eggs, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 quart whole milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg.
Even though we will be cooking the eggs, we won't be holding the eggs at a high temperature for very long. Be sure to check you eggs for any cracks or blemishes and wash them before cracking them. In fact, you should do this for any egg you plan on eating and throw away any eggs that seem questionable to you.
Crack the eggs into a medium saucepan. Beat with the sugar until the color of the egg lightens.
Add about two cups of milk and cook over low heat while stirring constantly.
When the mixture (which is really just a simple custard) starts to thicken up a bit and is able to coat the back of a spoon, remove from the heat.
Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes. The mixture should be around 160°F and the resting period will help give time to kill off a lot of the unwanted bacteria (but not all because of the relatively low heat and short waiting time). Five minutes isn't long enough for the temperature to drop low enough for the bacteria to find the conditions favorable for reproduction.
Add the remaining milk to the mixture and stir in the vanilla extract and nutmeg.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours.
Serve cold within 24 hours.

Post subject: Texture
How does the texture compare to a raw egg nog? What I like about the real deal compared to the pasteurized stuff you buy in the milk carton is that it is light and fluffy not thick. How much of the protein are you denaturing in the cooking process?

I'll give this a try, the egg nog we can buy down here has all been thickened with methylcellulose and leaves that slimy feeling on my mustache that just drives me crazy. Your recipe sounds good.

Uh oh. I meant to write 2 cups and 2 cups instead of 2 cups and 6 cups.
I've fixed the recipe / article.
I hope not too many people made it with the incorrect recipe - It'll probably taste good but not as thick. Maybe I'll try it with 2 quarts and see which is better...

How do you think it would turn out with Land O Lakes fat free half n half instead of whole milk? I'd like to cut the fat content. ( I do prefer the thinner fat free nogs over the uber-thick whole fat nogs anyway.)

I made this last night and it turned out quite good. Just be careful to heat really slowly so the egg and sugar cooking stage doesn't form lumps (although any lumps that form tend to be very tasty).
It is also much more economical then the ready made kind. Considering the 10 servings mentioned in the recipe the cost comes out close to 0.185 per serving. This doesn't include labor but since slave labor will probably be used that cost is minimal.

Post subject: Alternate method
Alton Brown's Good Eats recipe recommends separating the eggs prior to making the custard, making the custard with the yolks, and then just before serving, whip up the whites with a small amount (1 tablespoon for 6 whites, or something) of sugar, which is then folded into the custard.
Also, he made the same recipe, more or less, both cooked and uncooked, and revealed that the cooked version was thicker, though not intolerably so, and that was the major difference. In the case of cooking the custard, he used pasturized egg whites that he whipped up, instead of the raw whites that he had separated-- you can save those for another application in which they can be cooked.
A reasonable compromise between cooking and raw might be to coddle the eggs, which is to boil them for a very short time, 60 seconds, 90 at most, and then put them in ice-water to stop the cooking. The egg-white will cook only in the exterior parts, leaving a liquid white and intact yolk in the center, and the outer part of the egg, at least, bacteria free. If the bacteria have moved into the yolk, well, that's the (reduced) risk you take. You'll need some supplementary whites to make up the loss, so you'll still want to get your pasturized whites.

I was wondering why it came out so thin. I made the recipe with the 2 and 6 that was originally posted. I'll try it again with the proper 2 and 2 and see how it comes out, because it does have a pleasant flavor. It's just too thin for my taste. However, it's still really good in coffee as a replacement for milk, so it's not a total loss.

Hey, don't worry about it
It was fun to make and I really enjoy the recipes on your site - your pumpkin pie one yields the best pie out of all the ones I've tried. I fully plan on trying this egg nog one again as soon as I get some more whole milk.

Post subject: Egg nog
I make egg nog the old way with uncooked egg yolks and enough bourbon and brandy and honey to kill any organisms. Alton Brown said in his show on egg nog that he prefers the taste of the uncooked version, and suggested using pasteurized eggs. I couldn't find these this year. But my recipe starts with 12 fresh organic egg yolks creamed with 1 1/2 cups honey, which would kill a fair no. of organisms on its own, and then you add 3/4 cup bourbon and 1/2 cup brandy to the mix. Wouldn't that finish off the rest? Any microbiologists out there?
Back to top

Post subject:
While the alcohol must help, I don't think honey would have much of an effect in killing bacteria-- it's true that bacteria can't survive in honey, but it's for the same reason that most bacteria can't survive when you make beef jerky-- the environments pull the moisture out. Adding loads of a water-based liquid will probably negate honey's bacteria-killing effect.
As for the liquor-- I think that it would do a good job as you are adding it directly to the egg/sugar (or rather, egg/honey) mixture-- the alcohol and its effects won't be horribly diluted as compared to adding it later. Also, check Alton's advice again: he used pasturized egg whites, which are much more common, I'd think, than pasturized eggs (I have the idea there are such a thing, but I'm not so sure).
I'm no microbiologist, but common sense says that you should figure out your own risk level while account for the fact that you have (or, being an ill person, an older person, or a very young person, do not have) an immune system which is just the thing for taking care of rogue bacteria in eggs. Do what you can, and let your body take care of the rest; worst cast for most people would be a bad case of what Alton calls "tummy music."

The next Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will have a distinctly 90s feel to it.
The ballots are in, and the next Hall class will be led by seminal rock band Guns 'N Roses, experimental hip hop hybrids The Beastie Boys, and the flamboyant Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Also getting nods were late singer/songwriter Laura Nyro (a performer who also wrote for the likes of Barbra Streisand and Three Dog Night), folk singer Donovan, and British band The Small Faces/The Faces, which once boasted Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood as members.
U.S. & World
The induction ceremony will be held on April 14, 2012 in Cleveland, where the Hall of Fame is located.
Despite being on the ballot, several big acts were passed over for 2012, including Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Donna Summer, and Heart.

The Binding of Isaac, coming to Steam!
We haven't settled on a price yet, but it definitely wont put much of a strain on your wallets.
ok, so details about the game.
Isaac is a roguelike shooter based on the dungeon structure of Zelda (nes). At its core it controls like Smash TV / Robotron in a randomly generated semi RPG world filled with powerups items and special abilities.
There is not a traditional leveling system in Isaac, instead we used an item system. Every level will have a treasure room, shop, boss and other secret/special rooms that might contain unique items. Special items come in 4 sets, Usable items, Special Weapon upgrades, Passive upgrades and stat boosters. 90% of items in the game stack, so as you progress your character will change into a monstrous powerhouse not only in stats and abilities but also in appearance.
There are currently over 70 special items in Isaac, not counting pickup items.
Aside from these core items, Isaac uses its pickup items as resources in what i call micro puzzles. the core resources in the game are Coins, Bombs, Keys, Hearts, cards and pills each of these pickups can be used in different ways to acquire special items, gain access to shops and hidden areas, kill enemies and also affect gameplay in many other ways.
The game currently has 6 "dungeons" spanning 3 chapters, 6 bosses, 36 enemy types, 4 unlockable characters and tons of dynamic happenings.
in the end we hope to top out at 8 dungeons with 10+ bosses and 42 enemy types.. we have our work cut out for us for our aug. launch.
As mentioned before Danny B will be doing the music, so you can expect an EP's worth of new Danny Awesomeness as well, we are also featuring Jordan on sound effects (he did the sounds for smb and donkey kong country wii)!
anyway, its exciting to finally announce all this. Florian just made it so neutral flys are attracted to piles of shit and if they eat too much of the shit they get fat and become bloated flys that poop blood at you... im very happy with this game so far.
here are some beta screen shots!
Till next time!

- July 17, 2011 at 3:27 AM
Looks fantastic, can't wait.
Any chance you'll be bringing this game to XBLA/XBLIG?
only asking, because SMB on my PC was way less fun than on XBLA,
with all the slowdowns and other effects that usually happen when a game is released on a non-unified platform..
Just think how great of a push it will be to XBLIG if a star dev as yourself will release there.
anyway you'll be bringin

"Roguelike shooter" is an oxymoron: see the comments here for details:
- July 18, 2011 at 6:14 AM
- Edmund said...
@sam, its actually not.
- July 19, 2011 at 1:52 AM
It looks very promising.
- July 19, 2011 at 2:28 AM
- Sam said...
@Edmund, uh, yes, it quite clearly is. There's really nothing else to be said, I was just trying to helpfully point out a mistake I thought you might have make. And, as we can see, you have nothing the way of a counter-argument, so I can only assume you are being stubbornly ignorant, which is how you will look if you keep using "roguelike shooter" to describe your game.
What if Square started describing FFXIII:V as an FPS-RPG because the main character can carry a gun? No doubt some moronic Square fanboys would insist in the truth of it, but it would still be wrong.
- July 19, 2011 at 5:45 AM
- Sam said...
The point is this: a shooter is an ACTION game, as in one that relies on your reflexes to succeed, whereas a roguelike is turn-based and as such is as opposed to an action game as can be. Not to mention that Roguelikes are character-building heavy, which usually strongly limits if not obliterates any importance of reflex-based skills compared to the importance of your character build.
- July 19, 2011 at 5:58 AM
- Onronc said...
@Sam: Have you ever played Cave Story? It requires you to use skill reflexes to shoot enemies but has some focus on RPG elements (gaining weapons, items and health) as well as a great story. It's not a rogue-like but it proves it's possible to combine these styles...
Perhaps Edmund could word it better, but are you really gonna get this worked up about semantics?
Besides I have a more important question to ask: WHY IS THE MAIN PROTAGONIST NAKED!?
- July 19, 2011 at 7:42 AM
- Sam said...
Let's not worry over whether semantics are worth getting worked up over (they are), or whether I am even getting worked up in the first place (I'm not): all that really matters is that what I'm saying is correct and Edmund would be stupid not to acknowledge his mistake.
Cave Story is has neither any significance character building element, nor is it turned based. So, no, it's not an example of combining opposing styles, sorry.

I need this on XBOX LIVE ARCADE.
Won't care it being official or just "indie".
BTW the game looks ACE.
- July 19, 2011 at 6:33 PM
Wow, go clear the sand out of your vagina, it's not like we even have all the details yet..
Looks pretty great so far though.

If Anonymous is talking to me then he is really goddamn stupid: I have all the details I need to make the argument that I did, and where you mentally able to follow an argument from start to finish then you would have realised that and would have not have embarrassed yourself with your pitiful attempt at mockery.
Have a nice day.

This looks like a good MMOFPS zynga style game!

- Edmund said...
@sam nothing you say will stop me from calling the game a roguelike shooter because its based gameplay elements from both genre.
i understand what you believe is correct, but things change. i view spelunky as a roguelike platformer and i view isaac as a roguelike shooter. i dont care what you think what is or what you believe is right, this is what im calling it so people can get a basic idea of what the game is. its easy to assume if people see roguelike shooter they know what basic elements from each genre the game will have..
if i said traditional roguelike i could understand your bitching, but i didnt, so get over it.. no one really cares about these semantics but you.
also im not going respond to you anymore because your kind of an asshole.

i would imagine that it was made with flash..? (if edmund made it on his own) but i dunno whether or not steam would allow a flash game? so maybe its not flash... if so maybe steam will relax on some other game dev tools.. but maybe its just because its edmunds game.. sigh.. look forward to playing it.. i didnt really like SMB. But this looks like its awesome.. I guess making mockery/weird versions of nes games is now kinda edmunds thing.
- July 22, 2011 at 9:37 PM
- HouseHeadStudios said...
I seem like such a jerk in my other post.. the word "mockery" wasn't exactly the best word to use.. since that could be interpreted as negative.. i meant it as the "joke" definition of mockery.. not that he is making a mockery of nes games..which he is.. but.. he isn't.. get what i mean? ugh.. you know what i mean! i guess i shouldn't worry about it.. anyway! its not that i hated SMB.. i just don't really like the whole infinite trying over and over thing since i have no patience. and if edmund did get a flash game on steam i would be happy! since he deserves it! i just wish steam would be cooler about flash/gamemaker etc..
- July 23, 2011 at 1:48 AM
Considering the previous work of Florian Himsl (his programmer) the game is most likely in Flash.
In Flash you can wrap the .swf file in an .exe and run it outside the web browser. Several high profile games to do and are on Steam. Two I can think of are Machinarium and VVVVVV.
- July 23, 2011 at 5:12 AM
- Sam said...
Yeah, wow, Edmunds post: "I don't care" and "You're an asshole": I was really shown, right?
- July 23, 2011 at 8:58 AM
@ Sam
Yeah cause that is all he said... Face the facts no one cares but you and you are only making yourself look like a douchey-ass hat.
- July 23, 2011 at 7:13 PM
it is game related to team meat?
or is a totally indie game?
good work btw, i'll buy your game :D
- July 24, 2011 at 12:56 AM
- Sam said...
If you think anything Edmund said in that post countered my argument then you need to read both posts again.
I'm sure not the only person who cares about semantics, though I understand why you and Edmund wouldn't care: care about how words are representations for ideas, and how the bastardization of language is the bastardization of thinking — but as it's now clear neither of you do much thinking...
"Face the facts".

Very excited. Perma-death is an underused feature in games, and this sounds like a great combination of genres. How difficult will this be compared to SMB? To Nethack?

Just used this Twitter device to read more about the game. Turns out the set a Sept. release date on Steam "just to be safe" but they're still aiming for later this month.
- August 11, 2011 at 8:44 PM
i know its asking alot, but is thier even the slightest possibility that this could come to XBLA ? i mean i realllllllly enjoy super meat boy (still f****** havent finished it >,<)
i really hate not knowing and even if you said youll look into it like with for OSX/Mac it would put my mind at ease?
pweassseee? just...anything to do with XBL would soo make my week after bloodrayne got delayed, and we got screwed on trenched, and the summer of indie is DAYYYSSSSSSSSS away :(
- August 12, 2011 at 5:40 PM
Dearest Edmund,
I love your games.. and have been a fan forever.. I don't want this to start a flame war..and hope this comment doesn't start one but the thing is people don't seem to understand why I have problems with The Binding Of Isaac and automatically assume its for religious reasons.. I don't want to get into that too much here... but.... I kinda will...
I want to tell you that with the topics you have brought up with TBOI.. I think you need to be aware of the writings of Carl Jung.. and more specifically his book Answer To Job... which! is actually more controversial than your game and I am stating that so you and others don't instantly start thinking I am an extremely religious person who has been angered by your game and is trying to open your eyes to becoming religious or etc... since this is not the case.. in fact I am not religious.. I think I made that clear now?... er..
I do however feel that everyone should become more aware of the collective unconscious, archetypes, symbolism, spirituality, dreams and the myths of mankind and i think if you had a better grasp of this you maybe wouldn't have even bothered to make the back story of TBOI the way you have at least as far as I can tell from interviews etc...
I think this book Answer To Job among Carl Jung's other books would be highly beneficial to you and anyone else who thinks your game hits on how they feel about the topics the game focuses on religiously or otherwise....
I am posting this to you because at one point I had similar views, ideas and issues about the bible/religion or more specifically the old testament that you seem to have and have now addressed with TBOI.. and since I have dedicated a lot of my time learning about such subject matter that you seem to have attempted to address in TBOI in dealing with the old testament and religion etc... I wanted to share Carl Jung with you as well as in the general sense that I think it would be beneficial to you to read his works just as it would be beneficial to anyone else living today to read his works.
Edmund you must remember that with all your success as a game designer comes a real responsibility to make games that are educated if they are dealing with "deep" or "controversial" subjects. This is your game and you are releasing it for a lot of the world to see and play and learn from.. is this really what you want to be making and sharing with your fellow humans.. is a game like The Binding Of Isaac something you really want to contribute to the world? Have you really pushed your mind to learning enough about the subject matter in the game that you really feel comfortable having made TBOI about such topics? If you do feel comfortable.. well........
I feel that you and every other human in our modern times including myself are capable of learning and understanding far more about the subject matter that you seemed to have addressed in TBOI. Subject matter that you think you may understand to an extent or that you have already established an opinion about and have pursued with TBOI.
It is just kinda a shame that this game will be played by so many people when it could have a much deeper much more intelligent meaning behind it and still be about the same issues. You may understand what I mean by this after reading Answer To Job.. and Carl Jung's work..or you may not...
Don't get me wrong I do applaud you for attempting to tackle the issues you have with TBOI.. but I can't help but feel that you are missing out on a big chunk of information about such topics that would be helpful to you and anyone else who plays the game or has similar feelings about such things...
You know...no one is going to understand what I am even talking about... and I don't even know why I am bothering myself with this.. I guess I should feel lucky that I know what I am talking about.. and I will leave it at this.... PLUS ULTRA!

Kid, you have some massive issues.
Besides, Edmund is correct in calling it accordingly as a genre suggestion, because that's all a "genre" is - a virtual category with wobbly borders.
I can also smell some personal gratification issues and a false sense of opinion importance, so simply get the fuck out of here.

How funny that you turned out to be completely wrong. This IS a roguelike shooter and completely not turn-based like a traditional roguelike. You said it wouldn't require timing and reflexes? That couldn't be more wrong. This game is HARD and requires very good skills to beat.
I bet you're embarrassed now.

text: At a private ceremony in his office today, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick signed an historic executive order that prohibits discrimination based on the gender identity/gender expression of state employees. Advocates for transgender equality applaud the governor's action, and many are hopeful that today's executive order will underscore the need for similar protections throughout Massachusetts. The proposed "Transgender Equal Rights Bill" endeavors to prohibit employment discrimination based on gender identity at the statewide level. Today's executive order applies to all state agencies in the Executive Branch, as well as businesses and organizations that contract with the Executive Branch. "This is going to make a real difference in the lives of transgender state workers and their families," said Gunner Scott, executive director of the Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition. "No one should have to work in fear that they could lose their job simply because of who they are." Unfortunately, that is the reality for transgender people in Massachusetts and throughout the country. A national survey of 6,450 transgender people released earlier this month by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force & the National Center for Transgender Equality found that respondents had twice the rate of unemployment as the general population. Other findings reveal that: -90 percent of those surveyed reported that they had been harassed on the job; -47 percent said they believed they had been fired, not hired or denied a promotion because of being transgender; and -26 percent said that they had lost a job due to being transgender. Of the 283 respondents from Massachusetts, 76 percent reported experiencing harassment or mistreatment on the job; 20 percent said they'd lost a job; 17 percent said they had been denied a promotion; and 39 percent said they had not been hired for a job because of their gender identity. These are startling realities that emphasize just how important it is that Gov. Patrick signed today's executive order. They also point to the need for protections for not only transgender state workers, but transgender people throughout Massachusetts. "These statistics show the stark need for a statewide bill to prohibit employment discrimination based on gender identity," said state Rep. Carl Sciortino, a lead sponsor of the "Transgender Equal Rights Bill," along with state Rep. Byron Rushing and state Sens. Ben Downing and Sonia Chang-Diaz. "No one should work in fear of being fired from their job for reasons that have nothing to do with job performance." The Transgender Equal Rights Coalition is working to pass the "Transgender Equal Rights Bill" (also known as "An Act Relative to Transgender Equal Rights"; House Bill 502 and Senate Docket Number 536). This law would add gender identity and expression to existing Massachusetts civil rights laws, which currently prohibit discrimination on the basis of age, race, creed, color, national origin, sexual orientation, sex and marital status in the areas of employment, housing, public accommodations, education and credit. The bill would also add offenses regarding gender identity or expression to the list of offenses that are subject to treatment as hate crimes. "Governor Patrick is a true champion for the LGBT community, and we applaud the critical first step he has taken with this order toward creating a Commonwealth where all hardworking people, including transgender people, have the opportunity to make a living and provide for themselves and their families," said Kara Suffredini, executive director of MassEquality, Massachusetts' statewide LGBT-advocacy organization. GLAAD applauds Gov. Patrick for issuing today's executive order, and we congratulate our community partners in Massachusetts who continue to work so tirelessly in pursuit of equality for LGBT people. At the same time, we urge the media to report on the significance of today's executive order and what this means for transgender state employees, and for what it could one day mean for transgender individuals throughout Massachusetts.

Can Groupon, a website that leverages the concept of collective bargaining power to offer daily deals on local businesses work for lawyers? To date, I've seen at least one law firm that gave Groupon a try, though no word on the results of the firm's participation. Meanwhile, the North Carolina Ethics Committee recently opined that Groupon violates state bar rules' prohibiting fee splitting. As I'll discuss in this post, though I don't think Groupon is a particularly promising way for law firms to market a practice (in addition to ethics hurdles, it's also a costly proposition), there is one way that lawyers can benefit from Groupon: as buyers of Groupon discounted servicers, rather than providers of it.
What is Groupon?
By now, most lawyers are probably familiar with Groupon, an online company that offers daily deals at local businesses. One of Wall Street's current darlings, it's been described somewhat derisively as darlings of the tech industry;a modern version of an online coupon book. Basically, Groupon teams up with local businesses who provide a coupon for 50 to 70 percent off a product or service. Groupon emails the deal to registered users, and if enough users commit to purchasing the coupon, the deal goes through. Groupon and the participating business split the proceeds.
How Groupon Benefits Non-Lawyer Businesses
As described here, retailers benefit from Groupon in a number of ways. First, the coupons bring business in the door, and as a result, customers are likely to spend more than just the face value of the Groupon. Second, first time customers may either become repeat customers or refer friends, so the loss on the first, discounted sale can yield future sales down in the line.
Groupon also spares retailers up-front costs of advertising. Though to be sure, Groupon ain't free, the money comes from sale proceeds and not out-of-pocket. If a deal doesn't go through due to insufficient numbers, retailers don't pay. Moreover, even if consumers don't buy a Groupon when offered, they may learn about your business and patronize it even without the discount. I know that I've learned about a couple of activities in my area through Groupon that I later visited even though I never thought to purchase a coupon at the time because I didn't have an immediate use for it.
Still, even though Groupon can benefit businesses, it can also be a big bust. That's because, as discussed here, not all consumers spend in excess of the Groupon or return after having used the coupon. Most importantly – Groupon can be costly to providers. Let's say that a restauranteur offers a $50 meal for $25 and 100 people accept the offer. That's $2500 in proceeds (100 x $25), but the restauranteur only receives $1250. That means the restaurant is obligated to provide $5000 in services for $1250.
A Harvard Business School paper (December 2010) offers a more extensive cost-benefit of Groupon, summarized here. What's interesting is the study found that discount vouchers work better for some businesses than others. Merchants will low cost of goods and highly perishable products – like restaurants, spas, gyms and hotels – fall within that category – every table or room unfilled is lost revenue that can't be recovered. By contrast, retailers of clothing or manufactured products can hold items for future sales, so the marginal business that other providers gain from Groupon is not as urgent for them.
How Can Groupon Work for Lawyers
Selling legal services via Groupon poses somewhat more of a challenge than other items. Since customers have to pre-pay for Groupons, they'll want to purchase a service that they need or might like to use. So whereas a spa can sell a $200 Groupon for a $500 "Day of Beauty," since customers may want to sample that type of service, a customers are unlikely to pay $200 for "$500 Worth of Legal Services" unless they have an immediate need for legal services. Second, most of the Groupons that come to my box are priced so that recipients can redeem the groupon for a full product without spending more than face value. For example, if I buy a $10 Groupon for "$20 worth of food at XYZ Restaurant," it's usually enough for at least one, if not two meals. That's what makes Groupons so appealing. By contrast, if a ten dollar Groupon offered $20 of food at a five-star gourmet restaurant, I doubt that many people would buy it, because they'd have to spend more money at the restaurant in order to get the value of the Groupon.
It's that dynamic that makes Groupons less appealing for legal services. When customers buy a $200 Groupon, they want to receive the full service in return. Presumably, that is why this lawyer anticipated the possibility that a will might not be appropriate, and offered prospective Groupon purchasers a discount on other services. However, consumers might not want to purchase the more expensive service (or simply, might not have the money for it), and might demand a refund of the Groupon instead.
In addition, a Groupon is a form of advance payment for a service. If a lawyer offers a $100 incorporation on Groupon, and fifty clients accept the deal, the lawyer receives $2500 (fifty percent of the $5000 total) once the deal goes through. However, clients might not use the service for another three months. Would that require the lawyer to place the funds in a trust account?
The North Carolina ethics committee identified another ethics problem with Groupon, characterizing it as prohibited fee splitting Consumers pay one price for Groupon and lawyers subsequently split that fee with Groupon, a non-lawyer provider, a practice that violates North Carolina's rules. Though personally, I don't find much mischief in fee splitting as a way to spread advertising costs, I can easily see many other bars taking the same approach.
Though to date, North Carolina is the only disciplinary body that has expressly addressed Groupon, others have ruled on the ethics of other types of discounted services. A number of state disciplinary bodies don't approve of the practice, finding that discounts may be deceptive (for example, offering a "free" consult when a lawyer never charges for consults anyway), or can give rise to a conflict of interest or constitute a "fee" in exchange for referral if given to a third party, like a realtor, for distribution.
So What's the Bottom Line on Groupon for Lawyers?
Personally, I don't really see how Groupon can prove profitable for lawyers. Unless lawyers can offer a discrete service at a discounted rate, it seems that lawyers are bound to lose money. More importantly, unlike restaurants or hotels, will Groupons yield referrals or repeat business for lawyers? I'm skeptical, though if your experience differs, please share it in the comments. Finally, the potential ethical pitfalls associated with Groupon further diminish its desirability for lawyers.
Still – there is one terrific way for you or your law firm to use Groupon: as purchasers, rather than providers of Groupon deals. You can buy Groupons as thank-you gifts for clients and referral sources. Or snap up a bunch of Groupons to a restaurant or coffee shop at the beginning of the year, and use your Groupons throughout to treat colleagues or potential referral sources to a meal. Not only will you keep your costs down, but because you need to pre-pay for Groupons, you'll have more incentive to actually follow through on get togethers or networking meals.
So there you have it, the scoop on Groupon.

MARWICK, Matthew. Setting up a school museum. Y&T [online]. 2010, n.5, pp.97-106. ISSN 2309-9003.
The creation of a school museum offers an opportunity for a school and its broader community to celebrate the institution's no doubt unique history and heritage, and to offer an "open book to the world" of its history, contribution to society and its character. Whilst professional museum planners might be employed to take on the task of managing the overall project and tackling the rather daunting list of "To Do's", their services are expensive, and might cause a school's Governing Body to balk at the anticipated costs. In this article, Pietermaritzburg teacher, Matthew Marwick, summarises the journey undertaken by the members of the Museum Planning Committee at Maritzburg College, as they upgrade the school's existing museum, which currently is primarily made up of ad hoc displays of photos and memorabilia, in the build-up to the school's 150th celebrations in 2013. In the article, he points out some of the difficulties already experienced during this venture (which is ongoing), and offers practical advice to educators who might be considering a similar undertaking.

Kathy Keane '99
All Started with a Finale
...actually music notation software called Finale. In 1996 Kathy Keane '99 met the O'Neill Brothers (Tim and Ryan - nationally-known recording artists who have sold over 700,000 CDs) at St. Mary's College in Notre Dame, IN. At the time Tim O'Neill was looking to get his sheet music published. Since Tim plays mostly by ear, he needed someone to transcribe his playing into notes. He contracted with Kathy to provide this service. Kathy used Finale to help her publish the sheet music. It was this chance encounter with the brothers that opened many doors of opportunity for Kathy.
Hooked on Music at CSB and SJU
Keane transferred to CSB after her sophomore year at St. Mary's College. During her initial CSB campus visit, Kathy sat-in on a music history class taught by Dr. Kim Kasling. She was hooked. She speaks highly of the many CSB/SJU music professors that help guide her on her journey to become a professional pianist. Besides playing the piano, Kathy also joined the Chamber Choir and the All-college Choir at CSB and SJU. During her senior year Kathy performed a senior piano recital and also a senior composition recital where she performed her own composition.
Future Full of Sweet Music
After graduating from CSB, the O'Neill Brothers asked Kathy if she would continue to work with them. Known for their easy listening CDs, they began marketing their CDs by placing player pianos in JCPenney's stores around the nation, along with a kiosk of their products. Kathy thought a classical album would make a good addition to the mix, and the O'Neill Brothers agreed.
During the summer of 1999, Kathy's full-time job was to record her first CD, A Classical Touch and then went to work for the O'Neill Brothers' company Shamrock-n-Roll. Together they perform at gift shops throughout the nation and do a holiday tour through Midwest cities. Kathy's completion of a music degree from CSB was far from a "finale" for her. She hopes to record more albums in the future.

My Chocolate Signature
My cookbooks are littered with commentary on the recipes I've tried. I scribble little notes in pencil in the margins and it always surprises me to stumble upon a comment like "Excellent! The family loved it. Jan '87" If it was so great, why didn't I ever make it again? A lot of recipes are like that. But a few are the ones I turn to again and again.
This cake recipe was given to me by a girlfriend in high school and since that time I've made it so many times I could probably make it in my sleep. I've taken it to block parties and showers, made it for birthdays, girl-friend nights, and slumber parties, and also any time I have a chocolate craving that won't go away. If I had a signature dish, this would be it.
I've seen dozens of variations on this one, some calling for rum, some put nuts in the frosting, some low fat (euwww), but this version is my trusty go-to for when I need a chocolate cake in an hour. Seriously - an hour. I timed it making it this time. And it's such a forgiving cake that it takes an effort to screw it up. And you can make it with one pan, two bowls, and a wooden spoon (plus measuring utensils). Plus no weird ingredients. So any time a chocolate craving strikes, I'm an hour away from pure chocolate heaven. Does it say something about me that my signature dish is fast and easy?
Texas Fudge Cake
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
5 Tbsp cocoa
1 cup water
2 cups sifted flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
Frosting (recipe below)
1- Preheat oven to 375 deg. F with rack in the center of the oven. Butter and flour a 9 x 13 metal pan.
2- In a medium saucepan combine the butter, cocoa, and water. Bring to a boil.
3- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
4- Pour the hot ingredients in the the dry ingredients. Stir well with a wooden spoon.
5- Add the eggs, milk, and vanilla. Stir until the batter is smooth.
6- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place it in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. (While the cake is baking, wash the saucepan and bowl. You'll use them for the frosting.)
7- Remove the cake from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool. Immediately make the frosting and pour the frosting over the warm cake. Spread the frosting evenly and let the cake cool as much as you can bear before cutting into squares and devouring.
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
3 Tbsp milk
2 Tbsp cocoa
dash salt
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar
1- In medium saucepan combine the butter, milk, cocoa, salt, and vanilla. Bring to a boil.
2- Place the powdered sugar in a large bowl. Pour the hot ingredients over the powdered sugar and beat with a wooden spoon until the frosting is smooth. (Think of this as pre-burning cake calories!)

This is perfect! I like that you can pull it up very fast and yet there is frosting on... I guess, just don't say it look little time to whip a batch when you bring it over :)

Yuuuuummmy! I received a recipe almost identical to this for my wedding shower some eleven years ago. It was called Alaska Chocolate Sheet Cake and calls for buttermilk or sour cream instead of the milk. I may have to do a side by side comparison. I do love a fudgey cake! The frosting is exactly the same but calls for the nuts sprinkled on top. I prefer my chocolate without nuts. Same goes for brownies. :) Thanks for the reminder! Time to bake...

Lynn, I found a very similar recipe in the "What's Cooking" column of my hometown newspaper many years ago. It is called Texas Sheet Cake, and it includes a layer of marshmallow. At the end of baking, you remove the cake and top it with marshmallows and then put it back in long enough for the marshmallows to melt. Spread the marshmallows and then frost. I've made this cake many times and I agree, it takes care of a need for a chocolate fix! I love to lick the bowl for the icing, too. This is wonderful icing. I also have a recipe for a peanut butter cake that has a similar powdered sugar icing (flavored with peanut butter though, not cocoa). Great post and you made me hungry!

Thanks so much for posting this. I am going to give this a try. It sounds simple with minimum clean up and I LOVE that you said it had no weird ingredients. I just hate it when I see a great looking cake and it calls for several ingredients that are not common and I'll never use again. A big turn off...Can't wait to try this!

Well, I'm not sure you did me any favors with this recipe, Lynn! I mean I have all the ingredients in my pantry....then as I was reading, I thought no, don't make it, I won't be able to frost it. And there it was, a simple frosting recipe using nearly the same ingredients!
It looks wonderful.
I don't think I have a signature recipe. Going to think that one over.

In Reply to: Monkeyshines, monkey business posted by ESC on March 18, 2003
: : Any idea as to the etymology of the word "monkey-shine"? Thanks in advance for any assistance.
: MONKEYSHINES; MONKEY BUSINESS - "Foolish or mischievous activity. One assumes the sly, alert, advantage-taking behavior of the monkey gave rise to this notion." This source cites a use of the phrase "monkey business" in a 1904 Brooklyn Standard Union newspaper article. From "The Dictionary of Cliches" by James Rogers (Ballantine Books, New York, 1985). A second reference has earlier dates for the phrases. " 'You may have barefooted boys cutting up 'monkeyshines' on trees with entire safety to themselves,' observes one of the earliest writers to use 'monkeyshines,' monkey-like antics, which is first recorded in 1828. 'Monkey business' was recorded a little earlier, at the beginning of the century, both words suggested by the increasing number of monkeys imported by America's growing circuses and zoos." From From "Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins" by Robert Hendrickson (Facts on File, New York, 1997). I heard another more recent use of the term "monkeyshines." A young black comedian in the U.S. said older blacks had accused him of "cutting monkeyshines" in front of a white audience - acting in a stereotypical demeaning manner to get laughs.
Thanks for the information. Any idea as to how "shines" came to mean "tricks" or "capers"?
