I've been demoing out a lot of new songs here lately…mostly I've been working with the sounds of my space and what I can fully get out of where I record. Last night I was working with various mic placements and the acoustics of the room. Anyways, I hit record by accident and ended up picking this up.
Its a song by Bob Dylan titled Just Like A Woman. I'm not Dylan but, I think its pretty decent.
New music coming soon! Love you all!
I'm alive! Don't worry...
Hi, everyone. First off, I want to thank each and every one of you for the kind words, support & love that you have shown towards me and the new album. I honestly feel that everything could not have worked out as well as it had without you. So again, thank you so very much.
The experience of self-releasing an album after being on a label is pretty intense. A lot of people might consider it a setback or going in the complete opposite direction of where an artist is suppose to head towards. But for me, it has never been about that. It has never been about making a name for myself or gaining multitudes of exposure. I'll admit, at one point in my life, I did want to be out there..front and center. But as I've grown as not only an artist but also by age, those thoughts and dreams become a distant memory..one's I can't hardly even grasp anymore. I feel personally that those things were just never meant for me..and that maybe I just wasn't built that way. Whatever it may be, I feel so very lucky and humbled to have gotten as far as I have. I' am in a place in my life where writing and recording and furthering what it is that I hope to achieve has felt like only a fingertip away…and I intend to see it the whole way through.
Music is absolutely a part of me..just like my hands or my legs are a part of my body. I cannot do without it. I cannot go a week or a day without picking up a guitar or sitting down at a piano..or jotting down random thoughts on a piece of paper. I' am incapable of ever quitting what it is that I know I'll never be able to live without. Its just a part of me.
I do have some awesome news! I' am working on another record, as well as an EP that I' am wanting to eventually have out on limited edition vinyl once I've completed it. I believe from now on, most of my releases will also be in physical form..not just digital. To have an actual copy of your work in your hands..well, there's no better feeling than that. So I know for darn sure that its going to happen.
Till next time, keep supporting great music! Stay safe, stay passionate & always keep moving forward. Much love, my friends.
Very best
I did this Daytrotter session over a year and a half ago….and they just NOW posted it! I know..better late than never I suppose…but still!
P.S…….Daytrotter is not a very fun thing to do…you have no time to really setup or get mic'ed right and so forth. I' am very detailed when it comes to playing and recording that when I'm put on the spot at things such as this, it makes me freakout a little. Anyways..hope ya digs! I'll try and post a download of this session if you dont have a Daytrotter account!
Love you all!
EVERYONE!!! Just a little reminder that the new album is NOW available for download!!! iTunes and all those other big digital stores might take a few days to get everything up and ready..so if you cant wait…bandcamp has it available now!!
Thank you again for everything! It goes to show that you dont need the support of a record label and a pr company and all those crummy companies that tell you what to do to get things done! I have absolutely loved doing everything myself this go around and I really think that it shows..not just the music but how its been done in general. I' am very proud of myself for accomplishing this. I intend to have much, much more stuff coming out in the future/soon!!
Again, thank you and much love!!
Lance aka Pandit
Hey everyone!!!! The new album is up for streaming!! AND REMEMBER!! The release date is next Tuesday on 7/10!! It'll be available on iTunes, Amazon, Google, Bandcamp & other major digital stores worldwide!!
Please share, listen and love the music!! ALSO! There will be another brand new album / EP coming your way this fall as well!! Thank you again for all the love and support you guys! Much love!!
New Album Available Next Tuesday(July 10th)!!!!!
Hey everyone!! Sorry for not posting anything on here for a while. I've been keeping super busy over the last few months..both musically and personally. I wanted to give a head's up to everyone though that next Tuesday, July 10th aka my birthday, I'll be releasing a brand new record to you all!! It'll be available for download on iTunes, Amazon, Google, Bandcamp & other major digital stores worldwide! I'm only asking $8 for the album..I hope that everyone can afford that. If not, just hit me up and I'll make darn sure you will get your copy.
Thank you again for all your love and support. Its truly meant much more than you know. I don't think I could have kept at it without all of your kind words and support. I'm continually writing new material and am working on a new album / EP..which I intend to have the EP out later this year. I' am most definitely excited for what the future holds with what I' am trying to achieve as an artist. I try to stay positive about the music and keep myself grounded and level headed in regards to "being famous" or "being well known" or whatever it is that its called. At the end of the day, I myself have to be happy with what I' am creating and what I' am releasing to you all. I just thank the man upstairs that I have been given this talent. I only intend to use to the very best of my ability.
Till then, much love! Keep supporting great music…go to shows, buy the albums, support the bands!!! Love u all!

Evansville police say three people have died in an apartment fire on West Franklin Street. The coroner's office confirms two adults and one child were killed in the fire.
Emergency crews were called to the two-story building that housed four apartments fire on Franklin Street near Main Street around 4:45 Monday afternoon.
Those four people were taken to area hospitals with non-life threatening injuries. Two of those people have been transferred to Wishard Hospital in Indianapolis.
We're told the fire was mostly on the second floor of the apartment building and spread quickly. Officials say four people had to jump out of windows to escape.
Medical crews attended to others and family on scene. We're told that four firefighters who were battling the fire received minor injuries while trying to help those inside.
"This was a very chaotic scene when the first responded got here. The fire department did a wonderful job getting in there trying to render aid. Four of them were injured. None of the injuries were serious, but it just highlights the dangers that the people that wear uniforms face every day. They went in there, no questions asked. They went in there to do their job to the best of their ability. Their quick action prevented that fire from spreading to nearby homes," says Sgt. Jason Cullum with EPD.
Investigators say they believe the fire was intentionally set and a person of interest has been detained for questioning. Witnesses say a man left the scene in a hurry and apparently said he started the fire. Officers were able to locate the man just a few blocks away.
Red Cross was on scene to make sure all those who live in the complex have what they need.
A neighbor, Vickie Byrne, says she lives in the apartment building and was home when the fire started. She says a neighbor banged on her door and told her to get out. She, her daughter and her dogs were able to make it out safely, but she says she's devastated and scared.
"I don't wish this on anybody. I'm serious. I do not wish this on anybody," Byrne says.
Officials have not released the names of the victims or the person they've detained at this time. The coroner's office says names will be released Tuesday after autopsies which are set for noon.

Industry Chatter: Christian Heiter of Hitachi Data Systems Federal
Big data programs are helping the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services protect hundreds of millions of dollars from fraud, according to the White House. The Obama Administration says it's trying to introduce more big data programs to help other agencies save money, but privacy concerns and other roadblocks might slow progress down. Christian Heiter, chief technology officer of Hitachi Data Systems Federal, was Francis Rose's guest on Industry Chatter. He talked about how big data initiatives will help agencies save money and the challenges agencies may have implementing them.

Teen Fiction ALENDER
Summary: Alexis thought she led a typically dysfunctional high school existence. Dysfunctional like her parents' marriage; her doll-crazy twelve-year-old sister, Kasey; and even her own anti-social, anti-cheerleader attitude. When a family fight results in some tearful sisterly bonding, Alexis realizes that her life is creeping from dysfunction into danger. Kasey is acting stranger than ever: her blue eyes go green sometimes; she uses old-fashioned language; and she even loses track of chunks of time, claiming to know nothing about her strange behavior. Their old house is changing, too. Doors open and close by themselves; water boils on the unlit stove; and an unplugged air conditioner turns the house cold enough to see their breath in. Alexis wants to think that it's all in her head, but soon, what she liked to think of as silly parlor tricks are becoming life-threatening--to her, her family, and to her budding relationship with the class president. Alexis knows she's the only person who can stop Kasey -- but what if that green-eyed girl isn't even Kasey anymore?

Watch out for burrowers, warns Office of Personnel Management Director John Berry.
"Burrowing in" is the slang term for political appointees trying to turn their positions into career civil service jobs so they can stay on even when a new president comes into office, or even when a first-term president gets re-elected. According to a report in Federal Times, Berry has issued a memo to the leaders of agencies to remind them that personnel actions must "remain free of political influence or other improprieties and meet all relevant civil service laws, rules and regulations."
"Critics such as federal labor unions and management associations say that the practice [of burrowing in] corrupts the federal government's merit system," wrote Stephen Losey in the Times.

I agree. I have seen it also. When someone writes the key words and qualifications to their resume, they get a 100% match, even with outside evaluation. That is why it is hard to get GS12 or 13 positions. In the same manner, political appointees know they may become unemployed with administration changes. Therefore, they must keep some avenue open for later employment in corporate America. We must remember no system is perfect.
Have seen that many times, senior military officers create a position and shortly after retirement, they oddly enough are filling that spot.

Integrating music into our everyday lives.
My idea is all about making music and singing as a tool to set a positive cycle in motion that will encourage respect, communication and expression, which to me, are key ingredients to a society of individuals who can truly change the world.
No, this is not a new idea - but I think it's something we forgot how to do, and I want to help us remember.
I made a video to explain how we can reap the benefits of integrating music into our everyday lives called "Growing Back into Music", which you can watch here:
I'm so curious what you all think!
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
May 5 2013: Lizanne, this is an amazing idea! I fully agree with you and I consider it's time to be kids again, to be as creative and indifferent to others opinion as they are.
I always considered the kids state of mind the best one. It's sad when we discover ourselves grown up and with no joy and creativity in us...
Unfortunately that's what society does to us. We trying to impress others and to fit in the projections of others, rather than our true identity.
Thanks again for sharing this idea!
May 6 2013: Thank you, Bogdan! I agree, "It's sad when we discover ourselves grown up and with no joy and creativity in us..." We forget how to feel good about even the smallest of achievements when we get older - I truly believe if we can teach children how to use musical tools they already have, they will posses tools that will aid them for the rest of their lives.
May 6 2013: Yes, Lizanee, you are right and I agree with what you've said.
It is very important to expose children to music from a very young age. Also by doing that we will aid ourselves too. By teaching them how to feel good about all the achievement in their lives, even the smallest ones, we also learn to do that and eventually will start doing it with our lives. Often people think that teaching is a one way process, when in reality is a double way thing. The teacher passes it's knowledge to the student, but he is also learning from the questions asked by the learner and from the feedback.
May 6 2013: Hello Bogdan,
You are reletively new to TED conversations? Welcome:>)
I agree that a kids state of mind is the best....open, honest, trusting, joyful, creative, curious and unconditionally loving. We do not have to "discover ourselves grown up", unless we accept that script,
Society does not do that to us....we do it to ourselves, by living our lives based on the expectations of others.....as you insightfully say...by trying to "fit in the projections of others, rather than our true identity". I really believe this concept is changing, because more people like you are following their heart....living and loving the life adventure with curiosity and exploring all there is to explore.
It appears that sometimes we (humans) are remembering again what this life is truely about. In my humble perception, it is to learn, grow and evolve, which cannot happen when we are living in a box, which others have created for us. Perhaps it is time to remember:>)
May 6 2013: Hello Colleen!
Yes, I have joined TED conversations only 2 days ago. I hope that my idea(http://www.ted.com/conversations/18169/travel_around_the_world_for_fr.html) is worth spreading. Also I joined it because I like to learn new things and I like to debate various subjects.
Regarding your reply: Unfortunately I consider that too many people live to the society's expectation, rather to theirs. On the other side, I happily discovered that a great amount of people are not trying to fit in and they are doing what their heart and inner feelings tell them to do.
Definitely it is time to remember, and also to look inside of us. In my humble opinion I consider that we(humans) should be anarchists. I know it sounds drastic but through "anarchists" I refer to not fitting into society's trends and labels. To live as your heart dictates and how your instinct tells you, not the TV, magazines, etc.
May 7 2013: I think I understand what you mean, Bogdan, that we should all become 'anarchists'.
More of us should go against the grain and pave our own path to follow, without falling into the trap of individualism, but taking into consideration each other and respecting all.
The majority of society tends to blindly follow what society dictates, our 'survival mechanism' has evolved from finding food to having the latest iPhone, or I'll DIE.
Time to go back to where it all starts and teach children how to explore themselves, so they can pave their own paths to their own idea of success in their own tempo and on their own terms, wherever they may lead.
May 8 2013: Hello Bogdan and Lizanne:>)
Yes....look inside of our "self" to find what we are seeking, and in my humble perception and experience, it is by following my heart, rather than the expectations of others, that I discover more information.
I feel that it is very natural to seek answers inside our "self", rather than externally, and it seems natural to follow my heart with life explorations, while recognizing the interconnectedness of the whole.
I agree Lizanne that the majority tend to blindly follow, and this happens sometimes because of a need to be appreciated, respected and accepted by the society. People sometimes think/feel that if they do what everyone else is doing they might be more appreciated, respected, accepted, when I observe the opposite to be true.
Those of us who DO follow our heart/intuition are generally demonstrating something that more people would LOVE to do BECAUSE it is natural:>)
Lizanne, you write..."singing as a tool to set a positive cycle in motion that will encourage respect, communication and expression, which to me, are key ingredients to a society of individuals who can truly change the world".
I have had this experience while traveling in other cultures when the spirit moves me. Although I did not speak the language, I broke into song to express what I was feeling, and it seemed to be accepted and appreciated, sometimes encouraging others to sing as well. I certainly have no illusions about changing the world, and I also know that I contribute to change in many situations:>)
May 8 2013: Love all that's being shared on this thread alone. make my day, and its only just begun. WoW, this the second time, on this thread alone, at posting the link first as an awesome example of using songs, and hip hop in this case and then reading this thread. The cosmic winks, also known as synchronicityes are showering us with lightbulb MOMends, as I will purrceive your IDeals Lizanne, while eye consider a a shower of lightbulb MOMends, as fAIRy dust. . . . love being creative with words, so many treasures are hiding within and we've never thought to pick up on since. . this is the correct way. . .
when you speak of Anarchy Bogdan, it has the same ring as speaking of Spirituality. Anarchy being political and spirituality the religious version of the same IDeal.
the whole of creation is a happen and stem from within. . Love, that you speak both ENGlish and Dutch since the MISSing links are left in Dutch. Tip of the ice berg, or ratHer, the WhitE BUFFaLo calf, crack off land, make big Splash and rides out to sea in all her MaJestY, a rose in dawn's early light, lest a menAce in the fog and sharp enough to sink the Titanic, as it heads down to the Grand Banks of New FoundLand for a meltdown. So with stem speaking of both VOICE and VOTE in dutch, our spokes pick up on the rhythms and rites seeing nature at work and do all, with the greatest of ease. .
Bogdan, love how your focus is on travel the world. . and with it, the peoples rivers of babble on continue to dyeVers'ifY with use , there are many overlaps as well as bring our UnIqueKIness out.
Colleen, much as Ted and Chris has so aptly spoke of connecting and spreading the knowledge, what has near gone unnoticed is how the instant translations are becoming available to one and all. This to me is as grand a step in connecting the human communityes or the global village. we are, at the emBryONic state of stemcells connecting intoo bodyes of knowledge and insights of the where, who and how we are. aLOeVEra coming up.
May 8 2013: Colleen, thank you for sharing your experience with singing in a different culture than your own, and the positive effect that was a result of it! Music truly is universal, human, and natural. Especially singing, which anyone who has a voice is aware - it is the most vulnerable and personal form of musical expression. I feel, singing simply as to be appreciated when it is so pure and genuine.
When I put this video together, I actually hesitated about saying anything about 'changing the world'. My initial instinct was, that is such an unfathomable concept. How can I suggest in any way that this is the path to a better world? Then, I realized, the path to a better world really does begin with individuals. The more, the better!

When you think about the things we love in the South, food certainly comes to mind. Fried chicken or Southern-fried steak, mashed potatoes, butterbeans, buttermilk biscuits, cornbread and sweet tea make for an ideal Sunday dinner, especially one topped off with a big ol' piece of pie or homemade cake.
Of course, that kind of food hits pretty heavy, which makes it hard to get up and move around, not that moving around is as big an activity as it once was.
While menus change, it's pretty clear that, as a region, we have some bad habits when it comes to overeating and under-exercising. Back in 2010, Dr. Jacqueline Grant, who heads up the 14-county health district that comprises much of deep Southwest Georgia, noted that Georgia was the No. 2 state behind Mississippi when it came to an increase in cases of adults being diagnosed with diabetes. "And Southwest Georgia's numbers are some of the highest in the state," she said."
According to the numbers based on 2007 data, Lee County had the best rate for the region with 10.3 percent of its residents -- more than one out of every 10 -- having been diagnosed with diabetes. The two worst rates in the Southwest Georgia district were Dougherty County at 13.4 percent and Calhoun County at 13.5 percent. This is also an illness that is more prevalent in the African-American population, with the highest percentage showing up in African-American women.
Southwest Georgia's not alone in this. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that in 2010 25.8 million people in the United States were affected by the condition, which ranks as the No. 7 leading cause of death in the country. Of those, 18.8 million knew they had diabetes, while another 7 million had it but didn't know.
And that is the biggest danger -- not knowing.
Uncontrolled, diabetes leads to serious health complications that can result in blindness, amputations, cardiovascular disease, kidney damage and, worst of all, death. In fact, the risk of death for those with diabetes is double that of those who don't have it. This is a situation in which what you don't know definitely can and will hurt you.
It's not all bad news, though. Diabetes can be controlled through a combination of diet, exercise and medication. Those who have prediabetes -- the CDC says 35 percent of all American adults fall in this category, where the glucose level in their blood is higher than normal, but not high enough to qualify for a diabetes diagnosis -- can change their diets and increase physical activity to stave off the full onset of the disease for as long as possible.
Today, NBA Hall-of-Famer Dominique Wilkins is in town for a lunch-and-learn session at Phoebe Northwest. The former Atlanta Hawk and University of Georgia star, who was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2000, will be encouraging folks to "Get a Jump on Diabetes." The session includes a free lunch as well. In an effort by The Albany Herald to help raise awareness about dealing with diabetes, on today's DailyViews page there are two columns written by a couple of people who you might recognize who have first-hand experience with this condition.
A simple blood test is all it takes to give you peace of mind or to give you the advantage of knowledge. Diabetes can be hidden for a while before it has a noticeable impact, but the earlier it is diagnosed and treated, the better chance you have of successfully controlling it.

At the elementary school in Brooklyn where I taught first grade, science was a "special," along with dance, art, and physical education. That meant that students were delivered by their homeroom teachers to the science teacher between one and three times a week for less than an hour each time.[more inside]
"I'M NOT A SCIENTIST, man," Florida senator Marco Rubio told GQ magazine in an interview published in December 2012, following the first presidential debate season in twenty-eight years to fail to mention climate change. Rubio had been asked how old he thinks the earth is; it is unclear whether he was signaling a fashionable disdain for scientific facts or whether he truly did not know.

Captain Bill and I just completed our Anchored in Excellence (AIE) visit to Freedom of the Seas. Freedom just came out of dry dock on Sunday, March 27th, so we wanted to see the result of how everything looked and was operating. One of the other objectives on our AIE visit was to see what else we could be doing to support the ship with any key operational challenges they were facing.
We boarded the ship in Port Canaveral, there we found some definite challenges with the check in process and the security screening. I was very concerned by the security processes and lack of customer service. When something like this happens that is part of another division, we reach out the department head and raise the issue, then we get together to discuss the situation or challenge. In this case, I immediately raised the issue to Gary Bald, our SVP of Safety, Security, Medical and Public Health, and we will be jointly reviewing our fleet wide security screening standards and expectations. We have a Shoreside Executive Committee that is comprised of all the department heads that support the operation and it is great to be able to reach out and receive the support to address whatever issues we have cross functionally.
Once onboard, we did a full ship tour to see the new venues. Our guests were already enjoying the new outdoor screens. They were watching the NCAA Tournament and having a great time. Because our guests have been enjoying the outdoor screens so much, we've decided to add them to Radiance and Splendour later in the year as well.
I was doing my full walk around and ran into two guests that were looking for the screening room. I walked them over and showed them where it was, and they asked me how I knew where it was since it wasn't on our signage or the new digital signage. I laughed and said I should know where it is because I work here, and thanked them profusely for the feedback that we had indeed neglected to list the screening room in our signage and our new digital screens. Guest feedback is always appreciated and it helps us become our best!
While onboard, we also had the opportunity to try the new Chops Grille menu. I heard lots of great commentary from the guests on the new menu additions, and I personally loved the new goat cheese soufflé and the red velvet cake. I didn't think it would have been possible to find a better dessert than the Mississippi Mud Pie in Chops, but somehow Chef Josef came up with the Red Velvet Cake and it is amazing. I actually think he was inspired by the Cupcake Cupboard because the Red Velvet cupcakes continue to be the top seller, which is closely followed by the Turtle Cupcake. By the way, the new Cupcake Cupboard on Freedom was greatly received by the guests and we sold out of cupcakes the first day!
We met with the division heads, and updated everyone on our key areas of focus for 2011 and then they brought areas to light where we can provide more support. An area that surfaced was our new pervasive Wi-Fi. While the entire ship now has pervasive Wi-Fi, we are still limited by the number of users that can be on the system at one time. When we encounter an issue like this, we bring it back to Miami and meet with our IT team to address and then solve the issue. We get great support from Bill Martin and his team who have already begun working on a solution so the ship will be able to take full advantage of the enhanced Wi-Fi coverage.
On Freedom, we are adding a Britto Gallery like we have on Allure of the Seas. It is right on the Royal Promenade and I believe it will be very popular with our guests.
Overall it was a great visit. The crew is very proud of what they have accomplished in dry dock, and are also very excited about the new areas and programming. Freedom was already an amazing ship, and with these new additions under the Royal Advantage program, she offers even more now than ever.

- Customers Love Their Washable and Dryable MyPillows!
As Easy to Wash as Your Favorite Blue Jeans
Our Customers Love that MyPillow® Pillows are Washable!
I bought these for my husband because he suffers from allergies/sinus and says he gets a more restful sleep. I like the fact that I can wash them and not worry about mildew or stuff coming out of them or them loosing shape. We have since bought the body pillow too. Thank you, Cheryl
Best Pillow ever. Had mine 7 years and the travel pillow is the most awesome must have for travel. Buy this pillow and you will never regret it. It's washable. No allergy problems. No creepies (bed bugs/mites). Wonderful. C. R.
Bought MyPillow for my girlfriend as Christmas present. Didn't want to spend that much money on a pillow, but with the 10 year warranty and the ability to machine wash and dry, thought I would try one. Well after a couple weeks of stealing hers every morning when she goes to work, I'm buying myself one. Joseph B
I especially love that this is the first pillow that I can actually wash, that is is made in the USA...I am finally getting a great nights sleep. Thanks you so much for your pillow it has transformed our family's sleep. Thanks again!! Terri Ann
I love that it's washable, and that when I fluff it up, it stays there! Thank you! Diana Pratt
I sleep well, and the pillow washes up as advertised. Al Abernathy
They wash and recover just as you say. They don't crush or flatten. And now we cannot imagine a good sleep without them. We love them so much that we just bought six more for our adult children and their spouses. Paul and Connie Hedren
They are the best pillows ever! We wash them every 3 months & they have lasted for many years (since 2005). Ruppel's Outdoor Sports
5 Stars. We have had ours for over 2 years and they still wash up like new!! Becky Aspelund
My husband and I both get a better night's sleep with these pillows, and they do as they say - keep their shape. I have washed them and tossed them in the dryer - and they plump back up. J.O.
They wash and recover just as you say. They don't crush or flatten. And now we cannot imagine a good sleep without them. We love them so much that we just bought six more for our adult children and their spouses. Paul and Connie Hedren
We have the pillows for about 4 years now and they wash up just wonderful. They have spoiled us for regular motel pillows. Nancy J.
When I washed the pillows they came out super! Marcia M.
Comes out nice from the washer & dryer. Would recommend to anyone. Donna
I have washed mine twice and it comes out great every time. Tom R.

Web Usability
When I started the blog and before launching it, I was working on customizing the blog software to work on the WordPress theme I chose. I was testing the pages using different browsers. The pages rendered properly under these browser... except in IE6. I decided I wasn't going to fix the site for IE6. If I fix it, it just means I am encouraging IE6 users to stick with that old obsolete browser. Because if the sites display and work properly they have no incentive to upgrade nor change to a different browser.
I was also happy to know that Microsoft is also pushing IE6 users to upgrade through their ie6countdown.com site. 12% IE6 browser market share is still too high. The goal is less than 1%.
You can educate IE6 users but adding the JavaScript provided at ie6countdown.com. IE6 users will receive a warning similar to the one below. It's also a link to Microsoft's IE page. I decided to stick with my own warning banner because it mentions that the page won't display properly in IE6 so it's more informative in that respect.
If you want a better web, help by educating IE6 users. I am aware that some IE6 users can't upgrade due to app compatibility issues and other reasons. We are targeting IE6 users who can upgrade without limitations.
Microsoft's warning when IE6 visits a page
My own warning when IE6 visits my blog
There's something odd with ThisWeekIn.com. They only provide video streaming for their shows. I have been listening to the podcast This Week in Startups, TWiST, long before ThisweekIn.com came to life. TWiST is the original show and it started as a lonely audio only podcast. Then they added streaming video to it, then they created the ThisWeekIn Video Web TV network. That's what they are calling it. Web TV Network. Thankfully TWiST is still available as an audio podcast which I download from the RSS feed. The rest of the shows are not. I don't understand the decision of not providing an audio download as well. I am not going to sit in front of a computer watching 2+ people talking for an extended period of time. That's not a good use of my time if I can just listen to them on audio while commuting for example.
Are they targeting YouTube generation who watches TV on their computers only? Even if that's their target audience, why exclude the listeners who are interested in the audio part only?
I have two options. Just listen to TWiST only or spend time capturing the video stream and extract the audio into an MP3 file. I decided my time is more valuable than doing monotonous manual work every time I want to listen to a show. Plus I think I am only interested in the show about startups because I am also a web entrepreneur. However at least I wanted to check out the other shows. The fact they weren't available in audio persuaded me to not bother.
I think they are ignoring a big portion of an audience by not providing their shows in other formats. Not everyone wants to sit in front of computer and watch a talk show which is mostly as good in audio only format.
If you produce a video show, you will get more visitors if you provide your show in other formats as well. MP3 format must be of them. The process of creating different formats can be fully automated and it's not an investment that should be avoided. It's just computer power cost.
(Note: my previous post was about ThisWeekIn.com's multiple broken action based pages which have no content!)
Sometimes I visit pages that have no content or content that's seriously lacking. I tried sending an email at ThisWeekIn.com using their contact form and the form is missing. First I thought the page had some rendering issues with the browser I am using. I checked the page using a different browser and it's the same missing form. I also noticed every link in the footer goes to an empty master template which no real content. OK so this is a site which incomplete pages.
The problem here is there's nothing on these pages indicating that these pages are being worked on. A page should not let the user wonder why they are not seeing the content they are expecting to see.
I know this site has been up for at least a few months so putting up empty pages like that makes the site look unprofessional and tardy. I follow the podcast This Week in Startups and I have heard, Jason Calacanis the host, numerous times talk about how important a web site content is. So I find it odd that his own site is lacking important content. A future blog of mine will be about the lack of available audio format for This Week In podcasts.
If the site has pages which are still under construction, put some text like 'Coming Soon' to inform the user that the pages are in progress. Never let the user think as to why there's missing content for no good reason.
If you are planning to release a mobile version of your site to mobile devices, make sure you send a mobile version to mobile devices which have a small screen, not to any mobile device. The iPad is not one of them. The iPad has a full blown browser on an 9.7" wide screen, capable of rendering a web page in full width without the need to scroll horizontally.
You should also provide an option to switch to the full non mobile version. Many mobile devices use full browsers and some users prefer to view a site in its normal non mobile version and zoom in/out when needed.
One example site which breaks these guideless is unitusccu.com. I tried browsing it on my iPad and it automatically switched to unitusccu.com/mobile. The page consisted of a list of links, a subset of the full site. There was no option to view the full site. As I mentioned earlier, the iPad is capable of rendering a full web page with legible small text, just like a browser on a desktop computer or laptop.
A site developer can query the screen resolution from the incoming request and decide which site version to send back. CSS3's media queries is a good method to check for screen resolution.
I recommend this article from Smashing Magazine, http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/07/19/how-to-use-css3-media-queries-to-create-a-mobile-version-of-your-website.
Your site might render the wrong version but if you provide a way to choose the other version, non mobile vs. mobile, at least you gave the visitor a way to recover.
If you have a site which requires the user to log in to do an action like posting a comment, the site should have an easy to find method for the visitor to register.
Take the example of eHow.com. There's a "sign in" link. But how do you register to become a member? There's no link anywhere. Not next to the "sign in" link nor in the log in screen.
Any "sign in" or "log in" page should have two extra links. A some kind of "forgot my password" link to retrieve your forgotten password and a link to register. If I can't log in, I would be taking one of these actions. That's why it's important to make these links accessible in the area where a user logs in.
While eHow has a method to log in using a Facebook account, some visitors, including myself, never use their Facebook account to log into a non Facebook site. I use my Facebook account for Facebook.com only.
A highly usable site should make it easy for the visitor to take an action right at the spot where they are mostly likely to look for the particular link.
eHow.com sign in popup. No sign on how to register here or on home page

Believe it or not, I am not universally loved and admired. None of us are, really, so I'm sure you're not exactly bowled over by this admission. But once you step into the political arena, you more or less guarantee that you're going to become a target to at least a few folks. Know that up front, but get involved anyway. The industry needs you.
This tendency to turn on anyone who is attempting to do something beneficial is no surprise. Even in the good ol' days, politicians were reviled more than they were revered. W.C. Fields, the juggler who became an early comic film star said, "Hell, I never vote for anybody, I always vote against." Not much has changed.

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - No charges will be filed against a Milwaukee tavern owner who killed one of three men who tried to rob the place last week.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Kent Lovern said Monday that Andy Kochanski's actions were, "lawfully permissible in defense of himself and others."
Police said 23-year-old Carmelo Matos-Arzola was shot and killed last Thursday as he tried robbing the Concertina Beer Hall, a well-known polka bar on Milwaukee's south side.
One of the other two suspects was wounded by Kochanski. 21-year-old Jose Munoz of Milwaukee was arrested during the weekend at a Chicago hospital, where he was served with an arrest warrant. He's charged with armed robbery by force. The third suspect remains at large.
A concealed weapons' group will highlight the self-defense aspect of the incident, by holding a free training class at the polka bar on Sunday for those interested in getting state concealed carry permits.
Wisconsin Carry Incorporated is sponsoring the class. Its leader, Nik Clark, says Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke and Madison conservative radio host Vicki McKenna will hold a news conference before the class.
Sheriff Clarke is waging a campaign to encourage people to learn how to use guns to protect themselves.

Are the ethics of healthcare compatable with the ethics of business?
Healthcare providers need to be profitable to serve patients. But, the interests of the patient are primary over the interest of profits. Are the two co-exist?
Is physician entrepreneurship a contradiction in terms?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Feb 6 2014: This weekend my sister and her newborn baby were 'killed' by a deficient and greedy private healthcare system.
As a doctor on the cusp of completing my specialization, I can honestly say that private healthcare is greedy and will not deliver life saving treatment if you cannot pay them the high fees they demand.
My sister Depika was 33, fit and well with everything to live for and eager to enjoy further life with her husband and baby boy who was due end february.
She Abrupted, bled, was rushed to hospital, and then waited 2 hours while the private hospital she regularly visited, roused up suboptimal staff to deal with an emergency they had not the skill nor the equipment to handle. Had she gone to the government/state hospital a short distance away, she may have been in a shoddier building with less than polite staff, but she and her baby would have been alive.
The obstetrician did a terrible job, the anesthetist pandered to the wishes of the inept obstetrician, and there was no pediatrician available at the time to resuscitate my nephew who died after 20 minutes of nurse-led resuscitation.
My sister was transferred to a poorly equipped private icu with doctors NOT available unless arrangements had been made.
She was managed sub-optimally (because private healthcare is very poor when it requires medical excellence to be displayed), and she passed away hours later on saturday night.
We missed my sister's death by minutes and never got to see her last breath, never got to cradle the baby, or understand how it could happen when so much money was available to pay for any type of anything to save her.
Private Healthcare is a disease! It is a scourge and a stain on the noble art of medicine. There is ZERO place for capitalism in a field that DEMANDS Humane excellence. I long ago opted out of it. It lulls people into a false sense of security and then shows it's true colors when you demand excellence or humanity. The legal processes we now enter will not bring them back.
Feb 7 2014: I am very sorry for your loss Sumesh.
Since you are, or have been in medical school, as your profile says, you probably have more information about this situation than most people. You say you "long ago opted out of it". I am sorry for that too, because as a person who is aware of the challenges, there may be an opportunity for you to contribute to change as a medical professional?
Again.....very sorry for your loss.
Feb 7 2014: Thank you.
Yes I am active in the contribution to change department. I won't see it in my lifetime, but it will come. The sooner the better.
The right to breathe clean air and live longer trumped the commercially driven battle to self determination and opting in or out of smoking in public. Looking back it seems impossible to imagine a time not so long ago when you had to seek out clean air and found it easier to do so if you were wealthy.
So let it be with high quality healthcare.
I'm somewhat of a socialist when it comes to healthcare.

Newmont Mining surprises with a dividend cut
Normally, companies go out of their way to avoid sending this kind of negative signal. Here's what happened.
Now that gold is so much lower, the companies face a series of unpalatable alternatives. They can cancel or postpone current spending (and take a beating in the stock market as analysts cut their estimates for future production); or they can raise money in the capital markets -- and so either add debt or dilute current shareholders by selling stock; or they can cut dividends and take cash that would have gone to shareholders and use it to fund capital spending.

Follow us on Twitter: @msn_money and @topstocksmsn
Newmont Mining Corporation has a gold price-linked dividend policy, so as the gold price increases or decreases, so does the amount of the dividend payout.
The reason this quarter's dividend decreased from last quarter is that average London P.M. Fix for the first quarter 2013 was $1,632 per ounce. This compares to an average London P.M. Fix for the fourth quarter 2012 of $1718 per ounce.
Based on Newmont's dividend policy, the dividend payout when the price of gold is between $1,600 and $1,699 is $1.40 annualized, or $0.35 per quarter. When the price of gold is between $1,700 and $1,799, per the policy, the dividend payout is $1.70 annualized, or $0.425 per quarter.
The article failed to mention that per the Company's gold price-linked dividend, in 2012 Newmont returned $1.40 per share in dividends to shareholders compared to a return of $1.00 per share in 2011 -- a 40 percent increase.
More information about Newmont's dividend policy can be found at:
Newmont had an unsustainable dividend policy supported only by a short term rise in the price of gold; caused by over-speculation.
Now they have to cut the dividend because they don't have enough money to pay it. Boy, this stock stuff sure is complicated. Thanks for explaining it to us Jim.
Guess Newmont isn't doing that great, eh..??
Gold isn't doing that great. eh...??
Maybe Newmont should get their shidt together, eh...??
Most gold companies operate on appreciation and production...??
You are either making it or you are not....
Never owned Newmont, never thought they were WORTHY....eh.?
At $1200 gold, the dividend is $0.15 per quarter.

Right now, Newmont is a bargain. Gold will be bottoming this summer and then start rising again. Newmont's dividends will automatically rise as well.

As cold temperatures and snowy conditions hit Nebraskans later in the year than expected, officials are advising extra care when dealing with the resulting tree damage.
Eric Berg, community forestry and sustainable landscapes program leader at the Nebraska Forest Service, is sharing tips for dealing with those storm-damaged trees.
First, Berg says safety should always be a priority. Homeowners are urged to use caution around trees during and after extreme weather as there may be falling limbs and debris.
When inspecting trees for storm damage, look for splits or cracks in the trunk and major limbs, as well as disturbed soil around the trunk. This indicates a possible structural problem. If you suspect your tree sustained structural damage, contact a certified arborist and don't attempt to climb the tree to remove limbs.
It is also important to let professionals handle branches that may be interfering with power lines. Call your local power company to deal with these trees.
When removing fallen branches under the tree's canopy, watch for falling ice and limbs and wait for ice and snow to melt before pruning damaged branches that can be reached from the ground.
It is important to not fall for individuals that may be going door-to-door offering to take care your trees. Say no to anyone offering to top you tree as professional foresters and certified arborists agree that it is not good for the trees.
It is also advised to check staking and guying materials around newly planted trees. Many young trees may need to be straightened and restaked to stabilize the root ball and prevent further damage due to strong winds.
Find more information about caring for storm-damaged trees and proper tree care on the Nebraska Forest Service website: http://nfs.unl.edu/treecare.asp.
Go to the Nebraska Arborists Association website at www.nearborist.org or the International Society of Arboriculture website at www.isa-arbor.com to find a certified arborist near you.

Don't know password for Encrypt iPhone Backup!
I'm trying to jailbreak but I can't do it with the backup encrypted...anyway I go to iTunes to turn it off, and it asks for the password.
The problem is I don't remember setting this up. I never put a password in there, and if I had, it would have been one of the passwords I use, and it's none of those. I'm not usually the type of person to forget setting something like that up, or to forget my passwords.
Is there any way around this? Any ways to retrieve a lost password? Can I uninstall/reinstall iTunes? Any help would be appreciated...

Photo essay: Lago Titicaca (Bolivia and Perú)
Lake Titicaca, at 3810m the world's highest navigable freshwater lake, supports significant biodiversity and an extraordinary cultural life. Both Bolivia and Peru have designated their portions of the lake as Wetlands of International Importance.
Here are the brief entries in the Annotated Ramsar List that describe this remarkable ecosystem.
Lago Titicaca (Peruvian sector). 20/01/97; Puno; 460,000 ha; 15º50S 069º30W. Lake Titicaca, in the Central Andes, is the worlds highest navigable freshwater lake, at 3810 m above sea level, shared between Peru and Bolivia. The wetland is a permanent freshwater lake, with associated marshes and extensive areas of emergent aquatic vegetation. There are a number of endemic fish species present and the site is extremely important for migratory shorebirds and Andean waterbirds, including three species of flamingo. Algae and submergent and floating vegetation is abundant, and the dominant emergent species is the "totora" Schoenoplectus tatora, which can reach up to seven meters. When the "totora" drifts away from the shore, it forms islands which are used by some members of the Uro community to live on. Most of them are fishermen and hunters, but they also make crafts to sell. Whilst subsistence fishing is the main use of the lake by the local communities, the surrounding areas are used for agriculture. Ramsar site no. 881.
Lago Titicaca (Sector Boliviano). 26/08/98; La Paz; 800,000 ha; 16º10S 068º52W. Transboundary site between Bolivia and Peru. The site is characterized by a mixture of freshwater permanent lakes, rivers, associated marshes and high Andean peatlands. It harbours several rare species and threatened fish, birds and invertebrate species endemic to the high Andes. The area is used for agriculture, fishing, sheep and cattle ranching. Small-scale tourism is becoming more important. Ramsar site no. 959.
Here are some photographs, emphasizing the unique traditional fishing boats used on the lake and the floating totora islands described above, all taken by Marlowe Tyson Peck in November 2000 except for one by Ramsar's Monica Herzig-Zürcher in 1993.
