Girls just want to have fun and Las Vegas offers the perfect destination for a Girls' Getaway. Holiday Goddess, Alison Carmichael-Rulten waves the cocktail umbrellas.
Sometimes a girl just needs a break from it all. And, what better way to recharge your batteries than with a few of your closest girlfriends?
Las Vegas offers a unique destination for women. If you're looking for a weekend of peace, relaxation and some bonding therapy with the gals, or if you want to live it up and party like never before, Las Vegas offers a wide variety of unique options for the perfect girls' getaway. Being a girl has never been this much fun!
Your adventure begins the moment you step off the plane. Grab your bags and gather your friends as you head to your resort in style. This weekend is all about you, so forget the long cab line and opt for a limo instead. Limos are available at the airport, but try reserving one through your hotel first. Or for the ultimate goddess treat rent a luxury convertible and take a cruise down the famous Las Vegas Strip before you arrive at your hotel.
Choosing a resort can seem overwhelming in a city with so many options. Be sure to account for the size of your party, your budget and your ultimate goal. If your weekend involves nothing but pampering and splurging, you'll discover serenity at a resort such as Wynn Las Vegas, The Venetian, or The Four Seasons Las Vegas.
Or, choose a different route and stay at a boutique-style hotel such as THEhotel at Mandalay Bay or West Wing at MGM Grand. With their contemporary design and modern décor, these rooms offer a more non-traditional Las Vegas experience. If trendy and offbeat is more to your liking, opt for the Flamingo Las Vegas in a Flamingo Go Room, complete with signature flamingo pink décor, white vinyl headboards, posh carpet and cutting-edge digital accessories.
After exploring your hotel, book your day at the spa. Bellagio guests can enjoy a special package called For the Ladies, which features a 50-minute Aromatherapy massage, a 25-minute Vichy Shower Body Exfoliation, and a 25-minute relaxing, all-natural hydrotherapy bath. Or, host a Pampering Party at Bellagio or at Cristophe Salon at MGM Grand where you and your gals can indulge in private-room manicures, pedicures or other services, all while sipping champagne and indulging in catered cuisine. If you want something a bit more unconventional, try Wet, The Spa at TI, which stays open late into the night so that you can indulge in packages like The Heiress – a golden body scrub, rich golden wrap, and massage with gold oil and sprinkled with gold dust – before you hit the town.Read about more of Alison's tips for a Las Vegas getaway here

"Why Can't We Solve Big Problems?"
I'll be giving a TED U Talk in Longbeach at the end of the month. I'll be asking "Why Can't We Solve Big Problems?" I think that blithe optimism about technology's powers has evaporated as big problems that people had imagined technology would solve, such as hunger, poverty, malaria, climate change, cancer, and the diseases of old age, have come to seem intractably hard.
I'd love to know what the TED Community thinks our difficulties are - or, even if the idea is true at all.
Here's a URL to the story I wrote in MIT Technology Review on the subject: http://www.technologyreview.com/featuredstory/429690/why-we-cant-solve-big-problems/

Mar 7 2013: Alexander The Great conquered the known world because his brilliance, vision, and passion enabled him to "cut the Gordian knot" rather than allowing an insoluble problem to foil his will. In my Feb. 23 comment I discussed the need for vision and "leadership", here I'd like to suggest that "big problems" don't always need to be "solved"... They just need to be broken through.

4 Stocks Spiking on Big Volume
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in LGF as long as it's trending above $22 or $21.50 and then once it sustains a move or close above $23.45 with volume that hits near or above 1.85 million shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then LGF will set up to enter new 52-week-high territory, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets off that breakout are $25 to $27.
Calamos Asset Management
Calamos Asset Management (CLMS) is a global asset management firm that provides investment advisory services to individuals and institutional investors through open-end funds, closed-end funds, separate accounts, offshore funds and partnerships. This stock closed up 5.2% at $12.03 on Monday.
Monday's Volume: 601,000Average Volume: 204,521 Volume % Change: 165% From a technical perspective, CLMS ripped higher here above some near-term support at $11.25, and the stock broke out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $11.74 to $11.93 with above-average volume. This stock finished the trading session at $12.03, which was about 20 cents off its intraday high of $12.26. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in CLMS as long as it's trending above those breakout levels at $11.74 to $11.93, or above Monday's low at $11.41 with strong upside volume flows. I would consider any upside volume day that registers near or above its three-month average action of 204,521 shares as bullish. If CLMS can maintain that trend, then this stock will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $12.81 to $13.42. Any high-volume move above $13.42 will then put $13.74 to $14.40 into range for shares of CLMS.

Mauricio Claveria is one of the most experienced and acknowledged drummers in Latin America...
Mauricio Claveria is one of the most experienced and acknowledged drummers in Latin America. With more than 25 years playing this instrument, Mauricio has gone through almost every single step of what a musician goes during his life.
With a very solid music background regarding his musical formation, Claveria starts his career when he turns 18; back then, his job in recording studios provided him the opportunity to learn the basics about music edition and together with his work in the Chilean band "La Ley" for almost 16 years, it all helped him to develop and strengthen his knowledge as a drummer and music producer.
During his time as a drummer for La Ley, Mauricio won, along with his band-mates, multiple awards, which go from the acclaimed American and Latin Grammy Awards, Lo Nuestro Awards, Gardel Awards and Apes Award, to the MTV Music Awards, being this last one for their Unplugged material, and all of this derived from their high music production sale and the gold/silver records received for each of them.
It was also a time when Claveria decided to start working on the music Production area, in co-participation with his band-mates and produced "Vertigo", a record where we can find different electronic rhythms blended with a futuristic touch.
On the other hand, he also worked in the co-production of the soundtracks for the film SIEMPRE/everytime, main theme of the soundtrack for Disney's movies "Crazy Beautiful" and "Estrellas que dan Vida" from the animated film Treasure Planet.
Nowadays, Mauricio Claveria is working full time in the production of several Latinamerican music bands, and given his experience on and back stage, he's nowadays a synonymous of success and firm support for the bands looking after getting a unique style, with the distinctive touch only a trajectory like Claveria's can provide.
Mauricio always pursues to be one step ahead regarding to music and technology, like his drums and recording equipment, and that helps him to easily create rhythms, melodies and mixes, which are exquisite to the ear, with a strong musicality.

Here You Will Find Some Great Tips For A Good Backlink Program
2011 and 2012 have been extreme defining years for search engines and websites when it comes to relevancy and site ranks.
By now, you've sure been apprised of all the Google and other search engines updates that have been on a continuous non-stop rampage of algorithmic changes, site de-indexing and other related processes going on.
However, one thing that hasn't changed is the importance of backlinks to a website…
Having a good backlink program is one of best things you can do for a successful online experience. Therefore, I'm going to provide you with some of tips that have worked for myself and others from which you could start benefiting from right away and into the future.
Devising a good backlink program can be a little challenging, especially if you are new to the whole process. However, there are some things you can do to get started right away that would be free and relatively easy to implement.
- You could use stat sites to immediately began sending backlinks to your site.
- You can use bookmark sites to do the same
- You could write a an article or two and link back to your site (fairly easy to do and there are many article directories available for you to use)
Regardless as to which method you use there are some key points for you to keep in mind…
- Ultimately, you want to make sure you have at least a few quality backlinks (even if you only have one or two to start the process)
- Quality is more important than quantity, unless the quantity contains a fair amount of quality backlinks
- Do Follow back links are better for your website than no-follow links, for purposes of SEO and rankings.
There are nearly unlimited ways to get links back to your site, some are very easy to do, as mentioned in the beginning tips above. And then, there are more challenging methods such as securing very high page ranking back links (pr7, pr8 et.)
Eventually, you want to have a good mixture of backlinks and not just focus on one kind. Remember, as well, search engines are a lot smarter these days and they also look out for linking campaigns that have a natural flow to them (so, don't go throwing hundreds of backlinks at your site overnight or you will be penalized!)
If you use and implement these tips, you'll be well on your way to establishing a good backlink program!

Serena Checks Into Paris With Win
Published February 11, 2009 12:00
PARIS, France - World No.1 and part-time Parisienne Serena Williams led the charge of the seeds at the Open GDF SUEZ on Wednesday, brushing aside Iveta Benesova in straight sets. Jelena Jankovic and Elena Dementieva had to work a bit harder for their wins, but Amélie Mauresmo routed Sara Errani, just days after the young Italian beat the two-time Grand Slam champion in Fed Cup play.
Top seed Williams, who recently bought an apartment in the French capital, fell ill after capturing the Australian Open, and told reporters she hadn't been able to practice until Monday. "I was in bed. I was really sick until I came here," she said. "It was like a week. I couldn't do anything."
Even so, the 27-year-old American recovered two break points in her first service game and proceeded to win six games in a row to take the opening set. Benesova, currently just one place off her career high ranking of No.33, offered greater resistance in the second set, but Williams ended the contest with a backhand winner down the line, 61 64.
"I wasn't great. I was so glad to win," Williams said. "As the tournament goes on, I'll do a little better.
"I feel so-so. I'm tired right now. I'd like to sleep," she added - in French.
Later, No.2 seed Jankovic had to dig deep to fight off a Francesca Schiavone still buzzing from Italy's 5-0 defeat of France on the weekend. The 23-year-old Serb won the first set on a double fault and appeared to be on course for easy passage through the second, but the feisty Italian fought back and served for it at 5-4. Recovering her form, Jankovic leveled at 5-5 and took control in the tie-break to take the match, 75 76(2).
"It's a relief to finish in two sets," said Jankovic, who faces China's Li Na in the second round on Thursday. "After the first set and 3-0, I really lost my energy and my game went down. I let my opponent come back into the match. Until then, I was completely in control.
"I'm lucky that I was somehow able to get through the second set," she added. "As a top player, when you have everything under control, you have to finish your opponent off."
As well as third seed Dementieva, who saw of France's Aravane Rezai - a lucky loser replacement for Ai Sugiyama - 64 63, Wednesday's other first round winners included No.6 seed Patty Schnyder, who edged Alona Bondarenko, 64 76(3); and eighth seed Mauresmo, who avenged Sunday's loss to Errani in the most emphatic of terms, 62 60.
French qualifier Emilie Loit also gave local fans cause for cheer with her 26 63 61 second round defeat of Estonia's Kaia Kanepi, to become the first player to move into the quarters.
Fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska joined Loit in the the last eight when she finally quashed the challenge of Alisa Kleybanova in a match that lasted two hours and 28 minutes and went well past midnight. The 19-year-old Pole recovered from a set and 3-0 down to outlast her Russian opponent, 67(5) 64 62.

I have this Acad plugin (C#), where I simply create a Ribbon, Button on it that executes a Command.
Windows 7, AutoCAD 2013 all running x64.
Used the ObjectARX x64 Libraries for my references.
In my environment, everything works just fine, on my clients workstations... it shows 'Unhandled access violation reading 0x0000 exception'
Since client installed AutoCAD 2012 and then 2013, I tried a Repair, to no result.
Have verified all references, put all ObjectARX references, just to make sure, put debug lines in the code.
It crashes at first line:
Autodesk.Windows.RibbonControl ribbonControl = Autodesk.Windows.ComponentManager.Ribbon;
All other Commands seem to run just fine.
Any clue what could be the cause, what I could try more?
Maybe is just a matter of timing...when is this code called? During startup?
Please also try with
Autodesk.Windows.RibbonControl ribbonControl =
And make sure all references are from ObjectARX folder with Copy Local equals FALSE.
All references are already set to CopyLocal = False
Code is called by command (so after loading of all AutoCAD stuff, no?)
As far as I understand, Autodesk.AutoCAD.Ribbon.RibbonServices.RibbonPalet
Visual Studio Compiler tells me a property is used as a type...
All of a sudden, I am losing it
Also, you mention possible timing issue?
Wonder how (my environment ok, clients not?)
However, I found code that puts this kind of thing in OnIdle... mmm
Don't loose it just yet
It should be under AcWindows.dll and AdWindows.dll references.
Are you using on the same version of AutoCAD?
About the timing, don't use OnIdle, but maybe something like
public class AdskApplication : IExtensionApplication
public void Initialize()
if (Autodesk.Windows.ComponentManager.Ribbon == null)
//load the custom Ribbon on startup, but at this point
//the Ribbon control is not available, so register for
//an event and wait
Autodesk.Windows.ComponentManager.ItemInitialized +=
new EventHandler<RibbonItemEventArgs>(ComponentManager
//the assembly was loaded using NETLOAD, so the ribbon
//is available and we just create the ribbon
public void Terminate()
void ComponentManager_ItemInitialized(object sender, RibbonItemEventArgs e)
//now one Ribbon item is initialized, but the Ribbon control
//may not be available yet, so check if before
if (Autodesk.Windows.ComponentManager.Ribbon != null)
//ok, create Ribbon
//and remove the event handler
Autodesk.Windows.ComponentManager.ItemInitialized -=
new EventHandler<RibbonItemEventArgs>(ComponentManager
Have tried the Autodesk.AutoCAD.Ribbon.RibbonServices.RibbonPalet
I catched both System.Exception and Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.Exception, but that does not reveal anything.
Since I explicitly do a NETLOAD and then type my command, I am pretty sure it is no timing issue.
Am I right? However, Autodesk.Windows.ComponentManager.Ribbon remains null???
Any other ideas?
I'd highly recommend that you instead hook the Application.Idle Event in Initialize(), and then in your Idle Event handler, unregister the Event handler first, and then add your component(s) to ComponentManager.

"Potential has a shelf life." - Margaret Atwood
This is very useful information, I keep it for further reference.
Nevertheless, the client works in Classic View and needs more than just buttons, so a Tool Palette is more appropriate.
That works from the very first time!
Thanks for all the help.

That is kind of you to say, winnes; I'm happy to help.
It sounds like you've got the Tool Palette under control, but if you've ever been interested in going a bit above and beyond, you might consider adding a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) UserControl, as Kean demonstrates here:
"Potential has a shelf life." - Margaret Atwood
Sometimes, one needs to go fast... like this time.
Therefore, further reference, like in a "next" project.
For Office automation tasks I am already a longtime believer of the Ribbon...
WPF on the other hand is fairly new to me...
But there again, Kean is one of THE references, and once again it will certainly serve in the next iteration of this, or another project.
I already have some ideas for future use.

Lennar blows away earnings expectations
The housing market recovery gains steam as buyers are lured by record low interest rates.
Fourth-quarter profit at the Miami company surged some 310% to $124.3 million, or 56 cents per share, from $30.3 million, or 16 cents, a year earlier. Revenue surged 42% to $1.3 billion. Gross margins jumped 410 basis points to 23.5%. Analysts expected earnings of 44 cents on revenue of $1.31 billion. The company expects the good times to continue.
"Housing should continue to assume its traditional role in the broader economic recovery, driving employment upward, increasing consumer confidence and helping new homeowners accumulate wealth through home ownership, thus helping to accelerate economic growth," CEO Stuart Miller said in the earnings press release.
Lennar's earnings strength is the latest sign of housing's growing momentum. U.S. home prices surged 7.4% in November, their biggest year-over-year gain in more than 6 years, according to CoreLogic data cited by the Associated Press. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg News expect the confidence index from The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo to hit its highest level since 2006. Its easy to see why. As the Washington Post noted, about 1.3 million homeowners are no longer underwater, meaning their homes are worth more than their mortgages.
According to Trulia.com, asking prices for homes rose 5.1% in December on a year-over-year basis. That's an improvement from the 4.3% decline seen in December 2011. The housing market with the biggest improvement was Las Vegas, which was one of the epicenters of the housing bubble, where prices surged 16.2% as out-of-state investors flocked to the area, as Vegas Inc. noted.
Still housing prices have not climbed back to their pre-recession levels and may not ever. My wife and I found this out first-hand recently when we refinanced our mortgage. The appraisal of our home came in much lower than what we expected. Still, we were pleased not to be underwater, a situation that some of our friends and relatives will be stuck in for a long time.

Will Bad Press Outweigh Strong Earnings for This Medical Device Pioneer?
Jordo is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Rising earnings estimates and strong third quarter results, including a 28.2% positive earnings surprise, helped Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG) achieve a Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) on Jan. 1. This pioneer of robotic surgery has delivered a positive earnings surprise in each of the last five quarters with an average of 13.7%.
Looking Ahead
Zacks expects that a number of procedures currently performed either in an open surgical manner or with laparoscopy will be eventually replaced by da Vinci surgery, as robotic surgery becomes the standard of care. The company has a virtual monopoly in robotic surgery with little significant competition. The company's revenue stream continues to be robust. Recurring revenues continue to grow as a proportion of total sales. They grew by 24% year-over-year in the third quarter, making up 57% of revenues. However, until the global economy fully recovers, the company could face potential problems from macroeconomic uncertainty impairing the commitment of hospitals towards investment in high-cost robotic systems. In the meantime, the installed base continues to grow as hospitals are forced to upgrade their systems. The company has a strong financial position with substantial cash holdings and no debt.
The company tweaked its guidance for revenues and operating income for 2012 along with its third quarter results. For 2012, revenues are expected to grow in the range of 21.5% to 23%, compared with the earlier guidance of 20% to 23%. Operating income is expected to be about 40% of net sales, compared to approximately 39% to 40% earlier. The company lowered its procedure growth at 24% (earlier in the band of 25% and 27%) for 2012. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2012 increased to $14.85 per share, and the current estimate implies year-over-year growth of over 20%.
Negative Analyst Outlook
Citron has produced a report titled "Has the Halo Been Broken on Intuitive Surgical?" Citron believes the medical device company, which currently trades at more than 30 times earnings, is headed toward $250 per share, a far cry from its current price of around $498. The report cites excessive and unjustified marketing, lack of clinical evidence, and legal liability arising out of some patient outcomes. Investors should realize that Citron is a notorious short seller.
Citron has been accurate in cases such as Questcor (NASDAQ: QCOR) and Vivus (NASDAQ: VVUS), both of which have lost value. Questcor fell nearly 50% on Sept. 19, 2012 after Aetna announced that it would stop coverage of Acthar for certain conditions. Vivus lost substantial value in November and has been crawling higher. Investors seem to be skeptical about the sales of its weight loss drug Qsymia. Health risks associated with Qsymia and obesity drugs in general are also a concern for physicians. A report filed by Vivus shows side effects of Qsymia include birth defects in pregnant women and increased heart-rate and metabolic acidosis.
Citron points out an increasing number of lawsuits, which it claims are credible, against the company. Lawsuits are nothing new for a medical device company, but for the da Vinci Surgical System's biggest use, hysterectomies, there have been a few new lawsuits because of negative outcomes. Hysterectomies are relatively straightforward surgeries to perform manually, so this presents a credibility problem for the pricey da Vinci robotic surgery systems, which can cost anywhere between $1 million and $2 million. Citron cites 10 different lawsuits filed in 2012 related to hysterectomies, with two of them involving the death of the patient. Citron also says that Intuitive chairman Lonnie Smith sold $50 million worth of his options in the company. While there may be perfectly legitimate reasons for this, it does send out the wrong message.
Reaction to the Citron Report
Raymond James analyst Lawrence Keusch said that after reviewing the Citron report they would not consider it to have any meaningful new information. With over 1 million procedures performed with the da Vinci Surgical System, its safety record is solid. There will always be some surgical outcomes that are not ideal and lawsuits could be filed, but this should be expected in the medical device industry. The firm reiterated an "Outperform" rating and $620 price target on Intuitive Surgical. Lazard Capital Market's Sean Lavin disagreed with much of what Citron said, but not all. Citron Research has a very strong track record of successfully picking shorts, but normally goes after small cap companies that it believes are fraudulent. In this case, no fraud is being claimed. The firm maintains a "Neutral" rating on Intuitive Surgical.
Industry Outlook
Growing health care costs have not yet affected the company, but with hospital budgets getting tighter, it is only a matter of time before hospital administrators will question whether a million dollar machine is worth the money. Europe hit Intuitive and its peers hard this year. The ongoing financial crisis in the euro zone has negatively affected the entire industry. Intuitive's international revenues have seen slower growth as a result. International revenues now constitute less of the company's total, and declining from 22% to 20% of total sales.
Europe has also affected medical companies like Stryker (NYSE: SYK) and Boston Scientific (NYSE: BSX), both of which experienced declines in the organic growth outside the U.S. Europe's widespread fiscal tightening and unfavorable exchange rates have exacerbated the problem. Stryker is fighting back as the medical device stock has jumped more than 8% since early January and recently announced that it had offered $764 million in cash for Chinese orthopedics maker Trauson Holdings. Meanwhile, Boston Scientific announced that it has successfully treated the first patient in its ZERO AF clinical trial. This study is aimed at evaluating the performance of the company's Blazer Open-Irrigated Temperature Ablation Catheter in patients with symptomatic, drug refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
In the robotic surgery field, Intuitive has looked outstanding when you consider that MAKO Surgical, which considers itself a clone of Intuitive, has had a bad 2012, with full-year sales guidance of RIO surgical systems lowered in July and share prices taking a beating. Less prominent Hansen Medical has also seen shares prices fall significantly, losing more than 20% last year.
Based on current market conditions, Intuitive appears overvalued at the moment. I am placing a "Hold" rating on the stock.

We offer two ways to locate information:
Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.
After we hand harvested this Viognier, it began fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Halfway through fermentation, it was transferred to neutral French oak barrels. The wine was then aged for three months, but was not allowed to go through malolactic fermentation. This short barrel aging provides the rich, creamy mouth feel.
On the nose, aromas of honeysuckle and white peach hint at sweetness. However, this wine is dry on the palate with notes of ripe apricot, lemon-lime, melon and lychee. A lingering finish has a touch of minerality, a signature characteristic of our vineyard. A natural pairing would be Thai chicken, raw oysters, ahi tuna or Szechuan prawns.
"Takes the variety's exotic, tropical fruit and flower personality and frames it with dryness and crispness to produce that rarest of rarities, a balanced Viognier. Try as a spicier alternative to Chardonnay."

Birch Bay chamber hits rough patch
Nick Jerns and director Ruth Lauman resigned their positions
with the Birch Bay Chamber of Commerce at the chamber's
general membership lunch meeting Tuesday, August 17 at
This continues an exodus of leadership from the chamber's executive committee that as been going on since at least last fall. Of the nine directors serving at that time, four of whom are chamber officers, only three remain, including vice-president Mike Harward, who becomes president on Jerns's resignation and directors Bob Aitkens and Jim Trull.
Aside from Jerns and Lauman, Directors Karl King and Josh Lehman, secretary Cheryl Ryan and treasurer Liz Bell have all resigned within the past year. Patti Nichols was elected treasurer from the general membership following Bell's resignation and, in Harward's absence, ran Tuesday's meeting. Genée Haws Kay, whose first name is pronounced to rhyme with the name Renee, was elected secretary last month.
his letter of resignation, Jerns said that his decision was "not
based on the recent actions of a few chamber members but
is a personal decision based upon my need to focus more attention
on my family's needs."
Jerns was unavailable for comment, but according to Nichols the phrase "recent actions of a few" referred to an incident last week in which the chamber backed out of an agreement with the Silver Reef Casino.
Nichols said that "to bring more people into Birch Bay we need bigger
events that cost money, and instead of going to the same people all the time why not go ahead and get some sponsorship from outside sources? We're always going to the same merchants for donations and support, and that limits what we can do."
The Casino, operated by the Lummi Nation, offered to donate 500 salmon dinners that were to have been cooked by Stephani's restaurant and sold at the weekend Sand Sculpture Contest set for August 28th. Proceeds from dinner sales would have benefited the chamber.
"But this was canceled because of a small but highly vocal minority, people who said things like it was inappropriate adult entertainment for Birch Bay," said Nichols, "so we lost an opportunity to work with a major area business."
"Actually, there were a lot of people against it," said King, "the problem was that the leadership went ahead with this thing without checking in adequately with the membership. People felt railroaded."
King said that the decision to have cash rewards for the sculpture competition was also done without enough consultation. "In other places these contests have gotten so big that there's not much room for locals," King said, "but the decision was made to do this here as well, again without a lot of discussion."
Jerns cited the chamber's web site, rising bank balance and membership level as achievements, but expressed disappointment in not building a planned Birch Bay Visitors Center that he'd been working toward.
"Corporate sponsorship was in the process of helping that dream come to fruition at little or no cost to the chamber. However, as this project began to move forward it was made painfully clear that some members were not in support of this project for various reasons," his letter stated.
Earl Ball, a Boeing engineer who came north 17 years ago and bought
Bayview RV Park on Jackson Road, has served the chamber in several different capacities, often as president. He said he felt one difficulty with the present chamber has been that it's "drifted away from supporting businesses to being more of a social organization."
Ball cited such chamber involvements as the Student Ambassador Committee, "which might be all right," he said, "but what does it have to do with business?"
"These people would bring in speakers, sometimes environmentalists and people like that. But we need business people talking about business topics," Ball said.
The chamber will meet next on September 21 at Stephani's. The program will be devoted to a discussion of where the chamber is now and where it should be going, according to Nichols.

- Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan. Season the chicken to taste and fry for 5-8 mins until golden brown, turning occasionally. You may need to do this in two batches, depending on the size of your pan. Lift the chicken onto a plate and tip the bacon into the pan. Fry for 5 mins until crisp. Add the onion, mushrooms and thyme, then fry on a high heat for another 3 mins until the onions start to colour.
- Tip the flour into the pan and cook, stirring, for 1 min. With the pan off the heat, gradually stir or whisk in the stock, followed by the milk, then add the chicken back to the pan. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 30 mins. Spoon the filling into a large pie or baking dish (approx 20 x 30cm) with a lip and leave to cool.
- Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. On a floured surface, roll the pastry to the thickness of two £1 coins. Cut a long strip as wide as the rim of the pie dish and, using a little of the egg, fix to the edge of the pie dish. Brush with egg, then lift the rest of the pastry over the pie, using the rolling pin to help. Gently press the edges with your fingers and trim with a sharp knife. Brush lightly with egg to glaze, then bake for 30 mins or until the pastry is risen and dark golden brown.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, March 2006
Comments, questions and tips
Delicious chicken pie, I however used chestnut mushrooms which I quartered as I don't like button and also I added an extra tbsp of flour to thicken up the sauce. Think next time I make this I will add a splash of white wine and use only half a stock cube as it was quite salty. Will play around with recipe as it was lovely! Think will work well with leeks instead of onion. Also used just 250 of puff pastry.
I made this pie using the 2 breasts leftover from a roast chicken the night before. I didnât simmer it for the 30mins on the hob as my chicken was already cooked just let the sauce thicken for a few minutes. I also topped it with mashed potato instead of pastry and popped in the oven for about 40 minutes to heat through thoroughly.
Might not look as good as the pastry topped pie but tasted delicious, great for a freezing January night

text: I cannot believe I am saying this, but it is the beginning of the end for me here at Luther. Even though my junior year has not yet come to a close, it feels like graduation is quickly approaching. A few weeks ago I was send a letter from the Registrar's office asking for my information regarding commencement, this was like 13 months before I graduate! In addition, I had to attend a senior paper informational meeting for the Bio Department, talking about the paper that is required for graduation only made everything more real. Ever since the end of J-term it seems like everyone begins preparing for life after Luther, people sign up for grad school entrance tests, they get internships that will likely turn into jobs or they find their student teaching placement. This all baffles me. I thought at that point people would be looking toward their summer plans, not their post college plans! As someone who is always looking forward to the future, I have always been planning way too far ahead, but I thought that was only something I did. Now that I know it is normal and everyone my age is doing it, I'm getting a little worried. I know things will work themselves out but I really don't want my last year at Luther to fly by… I feel like it just started. Luther is my home, and it took my 18 years to leave my first home, I'm not sure if 4 years is long enough here.

She recently became a client and this is how we connected, did business and became friends....
We both were finalists for the Sydney Business Review (SBR) Woman of the Year Award in 2005. A group of us across NSW attended the award night at the beautiful Oatlands Golf Course and I ended up winning the award that night. Julie was also one of the finalists but due to a previous business commitment, she was in Melbourne that night and we did not meet at this event (Some of the award pictures are still on our Web site).
The next day, I wrote an email to all the finalists and thanking them for participating in the award and to tell them that I was interested in keeping in touch by sending them my CleverTips. After months of writing – one day Julie replied and told me how much she enjoyed the tips and our communication.
Anyway, time has gone by and we have both been busy with many commitments. However, last year Julie wrote to me saying she was ready for an upgrade for her Web site and she could not think of anyone else but Camtu. How nice! We arranged a time to meet and had lunch in Parramatta. We shook hands for the first time (and gave each other a hug as well) – each of us felt we had known each other for a long time. Julie probably knew my life journey very well by now as I had been sending her my tips and stories to almost on a weekly basis.
|Today, she is a treasured friend and client who is proud to own a brand new Web site designed by CleverLink. I enjoyed working with Julie and have benefited from the power of keeping in touch. If you know anyone who wants to own a cleaning business but doesn't want to do the cleaning, Julie is a smart lady who has all the strategies to make this happen.
Remember to keep in touch... With the support of technologies - keeping in touch should not be difficult so if you are still doing the hard way - may be CleverLink can help!

It has been a while since I published the CleverTips. Sorry! Besides many things that I have - I had a special project on the side for a few months and I am pleased to announce to you the most wonderful news:
Aim High Fly Fast has now been published in a 3rd language! The Vietnamese edition was launched this month in the USA.
|View photos & Video of the book launches
|Photos of the Launch in CALIFORNIA 4th Oct 2009
|Photos of the Launch in TEXAS 11th Oct 2009
|Photos & videos of the launch in Australia 0th May 2004
I flew to America for a whirlwind tour that included two book launches (one in California and the other in Texas), a family wedding between the two launches and of course a trip to Disney Land and Las Vegas with my family. I am now back on deck, relaxed and refreshed - ready for easy and difficult tasks!
Both launches were a success, having plenty of local media coverage and patronage from local businesses. All attendees received a copy of Aim High Fly Fast as a gift and a special edition hard copy of the book was auctioned and went for a very generous sum! 50% of the auction money will go toward the Fred Hollows Foundation as well as 10% of all book sales.
My CleverTips for the week after launching Aim High Fly Fast into Indonesian and Vietnamese is
While it is exciting to create new products and projects – it can be as exciting and fulfilling to modify or adjust something you already have done. Leverage on what you did well can lead to other successes and less stress. This applies in professional and personal situations. For example, I could have written more books but I chose to have my first book available in other languages first. It is a great feeling knowing that the book I wrote 5 years ago is now "NEW" again and reaches many more people in more languages. I am thrilled when my parents can finally read my book!

The following words have the power to make people take action. Consider them next time you try to promote something:
1. Fast: People want fast results, fast delivery, fast support, fast reply, fast ordering, etc. All of us value our time as well as our money.
2. Guaranteed: People want to be assured they are not risking their hard earned money buying your product/services.
3. Limited: People want to own or receive things that are exclusive or rare because they are considered to be more valuable.
4. Easy: People want easy ordering, easy instructions, easy to use, easy payments, etc.
5. Testimonial: People want to see believable proof before they buy your product. It should be reputable and specific proof.
6. New: People want new products or services that will improve their life like new information, technology, results, etc.

Like many other business tools, your Web site is also depending on the conversion rate. The more visitors you have to your web site, the more likely someone will contact you or buy from you. Therefore, driving people to your Web site should be one of the primary objectives for your overall Online marketing strategies
If you don't have many doors to your Web site - You will miss the "windows of opportunities"
One mistake that I often see when consulting to clients is that their Web page was constructed in Frame. This means the Web site only has one single door and if the home page is boring, has no meta tags, or negative impact, then the owner of that web page will have an absolute minimum or no exposure!
Make sure you CREATE plenty of DOORS on your Web site so people don't always have to come through the front door (home page). Face it! your Web address is not necessarily known to all your target market.
Some common "doors" that people can come in include:
- Home page
- Product & Service page
- About the company page
- Useful Links
- Events Calendar page
- News page etc
Make sure every single page has useful resources for your visitors.
Suggested actions:
- Review your Web site and see how many "doors" you have created
- Did anyone link to your Web page? If not - why not?
- Create more doors and create more links for your Web site

Call for actions is important on all your ads, especially on your Website!
Tell your visitors exactly what you want them to do while they are on your website. You may want them to order products, subscribe to your newsletter, etc. For example, use phrases like, "Click Here", "Contact Us today" "Order Now", "Subscribe Now", "Sign Up Here", "Enter Your E-mail Address Here", "click here if you want us to call you for FREE".
These words and actions can capture more leads and enquiries for your business.
What if you have no call for actions? The answer is "you either won't have the results you wanted" because visitors either "do nothing" or "go somewhere else".

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all timed and give every living creature you meet a smile
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticise others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for rear; and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but in great deeds.
To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

Today's news: Jon Stewart breaks my heart.
For a Daily Show stunt surrounding the Madison, Wisc. labor protests, this poor camel is dragged around in the cold until he gets his foot caught in a gate and topples to the ground. In the video filmed before this one, you can see 1.) You "handle" a camel by hits to the jugular?; and 2.) the trainer actually walks the camel right into the gate. Genius. I'm sure it was so totally worth it for whatever amazing segment this was supposed to be a part of. I doubt it will ever see the light of television though, right? Man, Jon Stewart, I used to love you.

Tucker Carlson, demigod, can't decide if Michael Vick should live or die »
I don't pay attention to many right-wing political commentators, but I fondly remember Tucker Carlson from the AMAZING Crossfire episode with Jon Stewart. Last week Carlson was back on TV, declaring on Fox News' Great American Panel that Mike Vick should have been executed for his dog-fighting crimes:
Oh my jesus, I love this guy! He's out of his mind. Where did they find him? I mean everyone knows I hate Mike Vick but really, the death penalty? I don't believe in the death penalty, partially because it's COMPLETELY RACIST, but mostly because I don't think the government should go around killing people. Are there vegans that do believe in the death penalty? I'd be curious to hear about it. I do think Vick's career as a public figure should be over. All sorts of scandals ruin peoples' careers, but electrocuting defenseless dogs doesn't? Go figure.
He does make one good point: why is the president weighing in on this? It is a bit weird. Like, this is the example of redemption Obama wants to publicize? It seems like there are better causes out there. It makes me think he's like every Philly dude who just cares about football. Sports are such a joke! I mean, sports are fine, but it's basically reality TV and the extent to which people get emotionally involved in them is ridic. Get a life. Or at least, get some morals.
Don't worry guys, this nonsense has a happy ending: Carlson retracted his comment! "'This is what happens when you get too emotional,' Carlson said, 'I'm a dog lover…I love them and I know a lot about what Michael Vick did…I overspoke.* I'm uncomfortable with the death penalty in any circumstance. Of course I don't think he should be executed, but I do think that what he did is truly appalling.'"
OK, I love dogs and I understand that the brutal murder of a dog can make you emotional, but in the video where he's making the execution statement, homeboy seems calm enough to contain himself. He's just crazy.
*For extra credit, there's a nice piece in the Language Log about "overspoke" and how it's a real word.

East Bay vegan drinks, Keep's sample sale, foie gras vs. puppies, 'anus-grade pork,' SF vegan bakesale and more in this week's link-o-rama! »
Tonight, Friday Dec. 4 at 7 in Palo Alto: A screening of Food, Inc. at World Centric, 2121 Staunton Ct. Following the film is a speaker, Stanford student and eco-documentary filmmaker Matt Harnack, who will also show his own 20-minute film, Fossil Fuel Free Film. This event is free, though donations are requested to cover the cost of film and speakers. Seating capacity is about 70 people; arrive early to ensure that you will get a seat. Please feel free to bring food/drinks to share and a cushion as there are a few metal chairs.
Tomorrow, Saturday Dec. 5: the SF Vegan Bakesale, take three! Get over to Ike's (3506 16th St. at Sanchez Street) between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. with a lot of cash, there'll be tons and tons of baked goods, AND bunnies! BUNNIES.
Hey LA vegans: Keep is having a sample sale this weekend! From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday Dec. 4 and 5 at Keep headquarters, 418a Bamboo Lane in Los Angeles. Up to 60 percent off select styles, I AM SO JEALOUS, Keep makes amazing shoes.
A ramen truck in Hayes Valley? Opening this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., on the corner of Laguna and Hayes Streets? That appears to offer a vegan option (unconfirmed at press time)? Get out of my dreams and into my mouth. That joke is not funny, but I remain entirely serious.
Sunday, Dec. 6 at the Fort Mason Center, Building C: an Animal People Party, consisting of a white elephant sale and vegan potluck, to benefit Animal Switchboard! Not a lot of details here, except that it runs from 1 to 4 p.m. in room 260. Probably contacting Animal Switchboard would be the best way to get further information.
Miss Vegan Drinks? Of course you do! Thank goodness for the East Bay, who've been doing their thing on Tuesdays and want to see you at their next meeting! Mix and mingle on Tuesday, Dec. 8 at 6:30 p.m. at the Kona Club, at 4401 Piedmont Ave. at Pleasant Valley Avenue in Oakland! Details here.
Win a pound of Allison's Gourmet vegan fudge! Enter before midnight on Tuesday, Dec. 8, on VegWeb (run by Vegansaurus' Laura!)
According to Salon, the Humane Society of the United States has to make a choice: either it works to shut down foie gras farms, or it protects puppies from abuse. Can't do both!
So tell us, Mr. Henry, "why can't people live in harmony with animals without resorting to the barbarism of slaughter?" Answer: it takes too long to cook vegetables. No, really.
Adorable video: mad bunny attacks keys!
OMG RAGE: Fast food makes you fat so everyone should eat like Alice Waters, DUH! Lord save us from these simplistic dichotomies. The world is not black and white!
In Indiana and Minnesota, 24 slaughterhouse workers were sickened with "a variety of neurological and physical illnesses" from inhaling a mist of pig brains. Very, seriously sickened. Bacon is so awesome!!
Animal Place has new bunnies, a chance to win a Daisy Wares gift basket, tips on photographing pigs, and an ode to Arturo the chicken. Half the proceeds from the Worldwide Vegan Bakesale, San Francisco chapter went to Animal Place; they're the greatest!
Not the greatest, at all: Brookestone's Frog-o-Sphere's. PETA2 is all over it.
Colleges are expanding their veg options! Humboldt State is currently sampling pumpkin ravioli and taquitos; the University of Houston offers falafel, pizza, and tacos.
King of the Greens Al Gore FINALLY acknowledges the impact factory farming has on the environment.
MORE RAGE: this program proposed by the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture called "Meat the Need," which would give people extra food stamps specifically for purchasing meat and dairy products. Why? Because people are buying less meat and dairy. So obviously THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM!! And the most logical solution is to FORCE POOR PEOPLE TO BUY MORE ANIMAL PRODUCTS!!!
And speaking of angry fucking vegans, PETA and the Animal Defense League are now "domestic special interest terrorists," according to the USDA. No, really. Really for really for real.
Hey have you checked out the discussion going on in Laura's post about Mission Street Food's dead-pig-ful Food Not Bombs benefit?
SF Food Wars gets a little feature in the New York Times! And friends-of-Vegansaurus Fat Bottom Bakery's award-winning! vegan mac-n-cheese gets a mention in the very second sentence. World domination is coming, I can taste it.
So Charles Phan "is in talks with San Francisco city officials about turning empty lots into street-food hubs similar to the popular Singapore hawker centers," is he? Um YES PLEASE, I will never leave. Because I will have eaten all the vegan food available and become TOO FAT TO MOVE.
So that lab-grown pig meat that tastes "soggy"? Jon Stewart reminds us that it's still five years away from being "anus-grade pork." Ugh times a million, and also, groooossssssss.

In any football mad country, the stage at which the big teams enter the cup competitions is special. Not only does it act as a release from the pressure of the league for them, it gives smaller teams the chance to pit their wits and smaller budgets against the glamour clubs. Yet for Bordeaux, yesterday was a day for revenge.
Playing against a club two places and seven points above them in the league, who coincidentally knocked them out of France's other cup competition back in August, Bordeaux - with midfielder Michaël Ciani who wears the boots shown above to the fore - slightly edged the 90 minutes but, as has been the case for much of the season, they struggled to kill the game off.
With 22 goals conceded against 20 scored, the season so far has been a stuttering one. Not so much a vintage year but one where the grapes have been soured. Yet with 2011 behind them, supporters of one of the grand old clubs of French football will hope that the 4-2 win on penalties can act as a catalyst for the second half of the season.
The club's next two fixtures are both against teams below them in the league table who also have a negative goal difference, and if they can secure six points from those two games, they will be able to head into the following three fixtures with momentum.
And the club will need it, for those three fixtures are against clubs who are respectively, as it stands, eight, 12 and 13 points above them in the league, with the latter pair in the hunt for a European places and in a good position for a tilt at winning the league.
Interestingly, over the past 30 years the gap between the best vintages of Bordeaux wine has been, on average, five to six years. The last one was in 2005 so, with the right application, a bit of luck and a return to form in front of goal, the club can hopefully shoot up the table. continue its form in the cup and give its big support a fine vintage

Now that BMW is preparing to say good bye to the current generation M3 , Vorsteiner has found its own personal way to commemorate the retirement of a very cool sports coupe. The tuner is offering a GTS5 Front Bumper package which will be built in a limited run of only 88 units.
The new package offered by Vorsteiner transforms the M3 from ordinary to extraordinary, even if the modifications are minimal. The new front bumper comes with added vertical vents which enhance the aesthetics of the front bumper and also serve as a functional air flow for brake cooling.
Aside from the new bumper, the package also gets an integrated carbon fiber front lip that detaches from the bumper for easy replacement in the event of road damage. Add the white exterior paint finish, the matte black hood, and wheels into the mix, and you have a BMW M3 that will surely set you apart from the rest.

Las Vegas • After a five-year drought, Brigham Young's women's basketball team is going back to the NCAA Tournament.
The Cougars earned the automatic bid that goes to the West Coast Conference champion on Monday afternoon at Orleans Arena, beating No. 1 seed Gonzaga 78-66 in the rubber match between teams that have been in the national rankings this season.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
The Cougars shot 60 percent from the field and upset the Zags for the second time this season, after walloping them 70-40 in Provo and losing to them 77-60 two weeks ago in Spokane.
Dani Peteson scored 18 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in perhaps the best game of her career for BYU.
Jennifer Hamson scored 17 points off the bench and Haley Steed added 17 as BYU earned its first NCAA bid since 2007.
The Cougars led 36-35 at halftime and slowly built their lead in the second half, despite having WCC Player of the Year Kristen Riley on the bench in foul trouble.
Peterson, the team's unsung hero, was 8 for 10 from the field and grabbed 11 rebounds.
Stephanie Vermunt's 3-pointer with 2:52 remaining gave the Cougars a 71-59 lead, and BYU fans began chanting "Why so Quiet?" at Gonzaga's large contingent, turning the tables after GU's fans roared that early and often during Saturday's game when the Gonzaga men's team beat BYU.

State Wind Working Groups form strategic alliances to communicate wind's benefits and challenges to state stakeholders.
Anemometer Loan Program
Anemometer data can help businesses, farmers, homeowners, and municipalities determine whether there is enough wind energy at a site to make a wind turbine investment economically feasible. Such data can also aid windfarm developers in determining whether an area is suitable for developing a large, utility-scale wind plant.
80-Meter Wind Map
The wind map can be used as a guide to identify regions for commercial wind development.
Small Wind Consumer's Guide
This guide provides consumers with information to help them determine whether a small wind electric system can provide all or a portion of the energy they need for their home or business based on their wind resource, energy needs, and economics.

What is your opinion on the New Teaching Manifesto? Can it be implemented in a school/college?
Education is learning by doing!
We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.
- Franklin Delano Roosevelt
The New Teaching Manifesto a scalable template to quickly implement Multiple Intelligences and Bloom's Taxonomy in the classroom. It is a framework for improving critical thinking and creativity in schools. It hopes to reform an education system based on textbooks that tell us how things should ideally work but does not let us try it out until the 'student is ready for it'or for fear of failure or a need for seeking perfection before getting started! The NTM aims to change this by encouraging students to think critically about the challenges we face today by exposing them to real-life, real world challenges for a comprehensive, well-rounded understanding of our world based on multiple perspectives and literally crate and build solutions to check their understanding.
All the education imparted through the NTM can be personalized and contextualized in such a way that the students discover their own self through the activities they do, the things they build, through their interaction with other students, with their parents and family members and the community. All of these enriching experiences based on observation or imitation would be accounted for in their grades and assessment or at least an individual project portfolio to begin with.

Mar 26 2013: It would help you if you would reply to the questioner (that opens a box under the comment where you can reply) rather than go to the big open box that does not send me an e-mail telling me that you have replied.
But to answer your question. I loved the introduction. I was getting excited until I saw the implementation. At that point, my mind filled with awareness of all that you are NOT teaching - which, by the way, is an essential life skill (seeing or hearing what is not being shown or said).
Mar 26 2013: I highly encourage you to watch the following TED video - the winner of the 2013 TED prize. When you are done, please go to the next link to download the toolkit.
I will send you an email detailing how I (inadvertently) taught EQ skills to a group of 8-10 year olds. I will do that through the email address listed in your web post.
Hope this helps.
