Eyeball share when the economy is squeezing even the most generous of marketing budgets, these owners are discovering that interactive media allows for the most effective and inexpensive campaigns.
Derek Reynolds, the salon director at Studio Gaven, used to work in a corporate environment with access to a creative department. Now, he produces professional-looking promotions using templates provided through his manufacturer which he prints locally.
Jeannie Sutton, owner of Beehive Waxing Salon, Carlsbad, California, says her best advice is to use a service to send out e-blasts. "You can't do it all, and they understand spamming laws, cull your lists for duplicates and make certain clients can opt-out," she says. "We send out monthly offers to all our clients and specials for those whose providers have left the salon."
The director of marketing for Zano Salons and Spas in suburban Chicago, Nettie Badgley, recommends choosing an e-mail marketing service that is highly customizable, so you can use your own artwork and maintain your brand image.
For highly targeted offers, she uses different databases for each of the salon's five locations. In addition, Zano recently started a teen club, and thus far, has a database of 2,000 for teen targeted promotions.
|More than 63% of companies found e-mail marketing the most effective method for customer retention.

"The most important element of any e-blast is an interesting subject line," says Badgley. "Our 'Annual Spa Sale Save 20%' message was opened by 28 percent of recipients, which is high. Last year, our BFF offer worked best: If clients brought in another person and both booked the same day, each got 50-percent off. We also promoted that offer on Facebook, and every single location was booked solid for the week of the special."
Professional marketing material produced using Redken's My Business Toolbox.
"Once we download the images and offers, we send out the e-blasts," says Baxter. "Clients love retail promotions. The best ones bundle two or three products at a price savings or offer a third product at a discount."
"Our manufacturer has templates we can download and add copy to, and they also offer blow ups of model images that we take to a copy shop and mount on foam core for salon posters," says Derek Reynolds, the salon director at Studio Gaven in Brentwood, Tennessee. "I used to work in a corporate environment with a creative department, but most salons don't have their own. With all the materials that are available from manufacturers for free, you don't need one to look great."
At Currie Hair Skin Nails in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, owner Randy Currie agrees that maintaining branding and a quality image is crucial to success, when you are using photos and templates from a marketing partner. Beyond e-blasts, he uses corporate-partner images for snail mail postcards, which are sent to the list he purchased, based on zip codes, income and gender. He also posts the images on his salon's Facebook page, because great images attract eyeballs. "We just downloaded an image and used it in a postcard three weeks ago," says Currie. "Already we have 20 new appointments."
|Marketing at a Click
Producing esthetically-pleasing, professional marketing materials used to require hours of planning and expensive fees to a creative marketing firm before it was even time to head to the printer. Now, with the help of a number of interactive marketing programs, you can select from their templates to create your own materials in a matter of minutes. Here are a few to check out:
• Quark Promote
Quark Promote is free, easy-to-use software that allows salon and spa owners to create their own high-quality, professional marketing materials that can be picked up at a neighborhood printer or received by mail in just a few days. The easy-to-use service allows people with no design or printing experience to customize professionally designed templates for business cards, postcards, flyers, brochures, appointment cards coupons, letterhead and envelopes.
• Go Loyal
GoLoyal is a full-service e-mail marketing company specializing in customized opt-in campaigns whose goal is to build customer loyalty among your client base. The company's mix of technology, customer service, idea generation and design helps drive repeat customers to your salon for a low cost.
• Redken's My Business Toolbox
Redken's My Business Toolbox provides the tools for salons to address and impact growth within the 4Rs (referral, retention, rebooking and retailing). This section of Redken.com features customizable, Redken-branded templates to help salons create postcards, posters, referral cards, client cards, service menus, self signage, shelf talkers and gift certifi cates at very competitive rates.

Albany -- You see the brown trucks and uniforms all over town, and maybe even a few more today for Brown Tuesday, the busiest day of the year for UPS. Today, they will deliver 6 million more packages than the average day, in hopes of delivering smiles on Christmas day.
He doesn't need reindeer. Instead, Matt Keller has horses to pull his sleigh. "We're Santa in a brown suit," Keller said.
Delivering package after package all over the city of Albany. "I average about 210 stops a day, business and residence." For 18 years, Matt has been one of Santa's special helpers. "People are always very happy to see us during Christmas, bringing all the Christmas gifts," he says.
But he can't do it alone. There is a fleet of brown sleighs that leave the UPS distribution center every morning, working to get packages out on time. "Christmas is very busy. We see a huge increase every year. To me this has been our busiest Christmas ever."
And today is the busiest day of the year for UPS. Keith Wright says, "We normally deliver about 14.1 million packages, but today we'll deliver about 20 Million worldwide."
And will continue all the way up to the midnight hour, just like the real Santa.
"We will actually be delivering Christmas Eve," says Wright. In hopes that the recipients will all have "Merry Christmas."
Company wide, UPS hired an additional 60,000 employees to help with the Christmas rush.

BOONE COUNTY (WREX) - We hear from both sides on camera about a lawsuit that pits one school district against a neighboring one over special education services. We first told you Friday that the North Boone School District sued Belvidere, claiming Belvidere took illegal action to dismantle the Boone County Special Education Cooperative.
The Cooperative has been around for roughly 30 years. It's a way for Belvidere and North Boone to pool resources and provide services for about 230 special needs students, most of them from Belvidere.
Belvidere Superintendent Michael Houselog calls the suit "without merit. What we have done is exercise the premise of the joint agreement. And specifically, the joint agreement says prior to February 1 of any year, either district has the right to take back certain programs they want to take back."
Houselog says the district wants to integrate those kids into neighborhood schools if possible. "We're one of only a few of those segregated special ed facilities around. And we're very interested in having our kids receive the least restrictive option."
Ann Risen, Boone County Cooperative Special Education Director says, "At Belvidere's March [school] board meeting, they basically hired a majority of the coop staff to provide pretty much the exact same programs and services for their students. Then the Coop Board at its March board meeting accepted resignations of those staff members."
North Boone says Belvidere didn't follow the proper procedures to pull out of the coop. According to its lawsuit, the Illinois School Code requires that school districts follow an extensive review process before taking actions to leave a special education cooperative, which Belvidere ignored.
Now North Boone students are left without access to needed programs. "We're out there fighting to make sure they get that quality education," explains North Boone School Board President Donald Ward. "Belvidere students will utilize basically the same program, but the North Boone students are somewhat left out in the cold."
The lawsuit asks the court keep Belvidere in the coop for next year.
Superintendent Houselog says Belvidere offered to allow North Boone students access to Belvidere's special ed programs, but North Boone hasn't responded.

New experiments are coming to CUExperiments on etsy soon. In the mean time, new colours of some of my favourite pieces are now available. After all, everyone should have at least one red hat.
I've listened to Anchor & Braille from the start. Their music has recaptured my soul once again. I've had to their albums on repeat a lot lately. Can't wait until there's more!

It's sad to say that the end of summer is coming up fast. For being home most of this season, I've still had a great time & a good amount of whirlwind adventures.
Here's just a few snaps of some early summer moments: park days with family, nights out with friends, discovering city treasures & festivals, & lots of beach moments.
I just wish there was more time for more adventures with warm, sunny weather. Here's to hoping Autumn stays just as nice so we can squeeze a few more in.
We live in such a beautiful world.

I was diagnosed as "The Mystery Child" when I was seven. I had pains in my body without much proper scientific proof to label it much of anything, but they monitored me as having Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. I spent my childhood years at a SickKids Hospital with blips of signs, but mostly just symptoms of pain. Much to my fears that mystery diagnosis sure as heck remains true today. It's said that I could have RA, or there are theories of "lingering JRA pains" (yes, pretty well the same thing), but nothing is official & everything remains a whole lot of a mystery until something scientific proves otherwise. ("Mystery Child" for life.)
It's been a rather odd week of events on the Rheumatology front for me. More tests are coming my way & lots more questions are on the table. I wouldn't normally share all this (I like being vague & a mystery of my own merits) but I sure as heck can't be the only one trying to figure out their body the same way that I struggle & I've come to the point where I want to share.
To recap the past 19 months somewhat quickly, both my wrists have been in pain. I've had X-Rays (fabulous hospital wear, eh?), Ultrasounds (why is that jelly goop always so cold!), MRI scans (a room with great bass beats), & multiple blood tests (just, yuck!). I've been on every Med imaginable except for Biologics (need the proof factors first) & had some pretty horrible side effects from most. Side effects from twitching chins, to spinning rooms, to me lying on the floor unable to move. I've had to adapt bunches to every day living & have lined up continuous Physio sessions to keep me going. I now think of crocheting as a great hand exercise & am a huge advocate for kinesiology tape (that stuff has become a great conversation starter). The issue is, no test comes back with any science to prove my pains as of yet & until what is happening on that tiny, unknown & microscopically small scale surfaces, I'll never be anything more than an unknown mystery that is unofficially labeled as Arthritis.
My own experimenting (because this is a blog of mostly experiments after all): Since medications haven't worked to benefit me, I've become med-free & feel better not having my mind & body reliant on pills for relief. The side effects disrupted me far too much. I'm also experimenting with diet since (if you really think about it), everything that you put in your body reacts in different ways. I know there's lots of people out there with plenty of different diet ideals that think I'm kooky for this one, but I've started to eat vegan as an experiment of my own. It's been a number of weeks now & I've been able to notice that I've been less dependant on weather changes (I can normally predict storms through pain) & have been more in tuned with my body to find certain foods as aggravators. I may introduce animal products to see how I react in time, but for now, I'm perfectly fine without them.
Today: After last weeks' appointments, I'm waiting for more mysteries to be solved. My muscle mass has become what my doctor has stated "is far too weak for your age". "Do you struggle to brush your hair, & take things from top shelves?" I had to admit I've given up brushing my hair (it's long enough with a beachy look that no one notices), & that since I live alone & am a bit of a shorty, my top shelves are used more for storage than anything else. So now I'm waiting for electrode-like muscle tests & more blood results. Today I found out, I have to re-do blood work because of what I've interpreted to be "bad science" or how they explained it, "a hiccup from what your normal tests look like". If it isn't, they'll be more questions to solve than answers to resolve.
& that's where I stand today.
PS If you're in a similar situation, I'd LOVE to hear from you! Message through tumblr or @cory_u

Have you checked out the Open Back Tank at CUExperiments on Etsy yet? My favourite is definitely the Open Back Tank in Rose. Of course, that's probably because the Linen colour makes me look so ghostly. No matter what I did I couldn't beat the pale ghost-like imagery of the Linen colour against my colourless skin, so I just embraced it instead. Whites, creams, some yellows, even some soft pinks are soooo not good on me.
If this is the first time you've seen this new experiment, you can read more on the design process here. Each tank takes well over a day of stitching away to complete from start to finish. It's a great workout for my arthritic hands!
Available in more colours upon request.
My mind screamed "WOMBAT!" the moment I saw this. These pieces are so dream-like…. & yes, I've totally dreamed of wombats. I'd want one as a pet, you know? If only.

Have you ever forgotten about a piece of clothing you own, until you see something similar on someone else? Totally happened to me this week. I spotted someone else wearing this really cute looking shirt dress on these cool summer days & made it my mission to wear mine the next day.
Course, with my luck, even after checking every weather app & reading my bones for weather pains I decided to venture outside JUST before it rained. It still was a beautiful day for fresh air & calm beach life. I clocked in some reading, & only got mostly soaked on the last block home.
Another perk? I could even wear out my super purple arms without having to worry about sunscreen or funny tan lines. (The way I'm wearing these weekly, it's bound to happen.)
There's a new experiment available at CUExperiments on etsy. Open Back Tank in Rose & also Linen. Link in profile.

They're calling it a prequel, but is new sci-fi chiller The Thing just a rehash of John Carpenter's ground-breaking 1982 horror of the same name? Hollywood can sometimes run short of ideas, so when the stars of a certain movie can't or won't return for a sequel, they do the next best thing - come up with a prequel.
But for every Godfather II, there are a dozen Hannibal Risings. So we've asked the question - do prequels ever actually work?

Has Apple lived up to its own hype with its new flagship device?
ViewSonic ViewPad 10e review
What is it?
ViewSonic's latest is a full-size tablet at a lower price than its rivals. There may be a reason for that
What's great
The price is hard to beat and the 9.7-inch screen is way better than might be expected.
What's not
It's not fast, or responsive. The lack of the Google Play Store, while not surprising at this price, is a pain. Build quality is really lacking.
The bottom line
There are good things about the ViewSonic ViewPad 10e and it is highly affordable. But the build quality, slow software and lack of the Google Play Store are all disheartening.
Look quickly at the ViewSonic ViewPad 10e and you could be forgiven for thinking it's an iPad. Check the price tag and you'll see it's less than half the price of an entry level iPad 2 from Apple. So that must be good, no? Well, nearly.
The ViewPad 10e has a great screen, matching the iPad's for size, resolution and in-plane switching (IPS) technology (which improves vertical viewing angles and colour reproduction), the sort found on pricey tablets but rarely on cheaper ones. IPS looks better, so its inclusion here is a real plus. Of course, the latest iPad has a resolution four times higher, but this one equals the iPad 2.
The ViewPad 10e feels good in the hand, with a largely metallic back, though build quality is not on a par with more expensive tablets - hold the tablet by the wrong corner and the plastic strip down the back almost pops out. And because the strip falls under your left hand if it's held in portrait mode, it creaks. Repeatedly.
This is Android, so there's plenty of room for customisation and ViewSonic includes a very cool 3D carousel of the homescreens. This looks great, but seems to make a stiff demand on the processing power: touch the icon of the ViewSonic birds and swipe left and right to turn from one page to the next. All good, except that little icon and the screens that are rotating struggle to keep up. They're always half a screen behind your finger. ViewSonic has stressed that this is not a games machine, it's a halfway house between a basic Kindle on the one hand and a full-blown high-end tablet on the other. It's aimed at displaying photos, ebooks and more rather than the super-high-quality graphics of a game or other memory-hogging app. For these basic tasks, it's good. Still, it should have been able to handle its own graphics better.
Beneath the screen are three capacitive buttons: Menu, Home and Back. Back, inexplicably, points upwards rather than the more conventional left direction. That's a minor issue. More seriously, the ViewPad, which uses the Gingerbread (which was designed for phones not tablets), not Ice Cream Sandwich or even Honeycomb as its version of Android, does not have access to Android Market, or Google Play Store as it's now called.
Though this absence is not unusual in non-3G Android devices, but it's a shame. The tablet comes with access to 1Mobile Market, a third-party market with plenty of apps. But it's not quite the same thing. There are mods that can be performed to hack Android Market into the ViewPad 10e but, frankly, life's too short.
Still, the tablet handles Flash so you can play back YouTube without alteration, though playback sometimes juddered. And don't worry that the tablet only comes with just 4GB of storage - it has a microSD card slot, so you can add to the capacity. Take that, Apple. And in another iPad-beating move, there are two speakers on the back of the ViewPad 10e. Sound quality isn't great, for all that, but it's the thought that counts, isn't it?
There's no rear camera, but a front-facing one is 1.3-megapixel resolution, again more than either of the iPad 2's cameras could muster. Not great for stills, then, but good enough for shooting video.
Tablets have big batteries, and this is no exception. Even so, it didn't seem to last as long as its lookalike tablet, the iPad 2. You will get a decent day's usage out of it, but not much more.
For all that, there are things to like about the ViewPad 10e. If you fancy something like the Amazon Kindle Fire, but want a bigger screen, then a books-centric tablet like this may well appeal. After all, the Kindle app comes pre-loaded.
The ViewSonic ViewPad is great value, really. In fact it's just dropped to £149.99 at Argos, so it's now cheaper than the heavily discounted PlayBook. The display is great and ViewSonic has done its best to make it an enjoyable experience. Overall, though, we'd suggest saving up for an iPad - the software is slow and often lags behind you, the build quality is ropey and the absence of Android Market an annoyance. If all you want is a big-screened ebook, however, it's worth a look.

Eraldo Bernocchi - Omnipresence
Format: CD
Label: Anodize Notify Me ( ? )
On April 10, 2010, Italian master soundsc(r)aper & multi-instrumentalist Eraldo Bernocchi was invited to perform at One Thousand Pulses, the esteemed concert series curated by Darren Bergstein in Northeast New Jersey, USA. Accompanied by a series of arresting visuals designed by his partner & wife Petulia Mattioli, Bernocchi initialized a two-hour set of Intensely layered, polymorphously perverse ambient music, the essence of which has been distilled into one wholly immersive, forty-five minute tableaux of oily textures & pulsing irregularities. Eraldo Bernocchi is an Italian composer, arranger, producer and guitarist with a solid reputation as an all round sonic sculptor. Starting his career in the late 70′s as a guitarist in independent punk bands, in the mid 80′s Bernocchi co-founded the conceptual audio project Sigillum-S (with Paolo Bandera and Luca di Giorgio), which grew into a highly acclaimed international cult act that spawned a legion of like-minded, post-'industrial' imitators & experimentalists. In the 90′s, together with his wife Petulia Mattioli, Bernocchi established Verba Corrige Productions, which became the base for a raft of notable audio visual projects and co-operations. A relentless sound explorer, Bernocchi has collaborated with numerous artists including Mick Harris (SIMM, Black Engine), Bill Laswell (Somma, Charged, Ashes and numerous others), Nils Petter Molvaer, Harold Budd , Russell Mills, Toshinori Kondo (Charged), Raiz, Almamegretta, Lorenzo Esposito Fornasari, Spectre, Sensationall, DJ Disk, Professor Shebab, Thomas Fehlmann, Zu (as Black Engine), DJ Olive, Markus Stockhausen, Giovanni Lindo Ferretti (as producer and author), Robin Guthrie, Colin Edwin and Balazs Pandi among many others. In addition to regular work scoring music for adverts and other multimedia projects, Bernocchi has composed film music for Academy Award winner Gabriele Salvatores and produced numerous art installations with Petulia Mattioli, as well as artists including Russell Mills and Harold Budd. In 2008, together with music enthusiast Giacomo Bruzzo, Eraldo founded RareNoise Records, a new London based label, which aims to showcase a wide range of cutting edge music. The label has since become an important conduit championing several forward thinking and original musicians, many of whom operate across a wide spectrum of genres & styles. Whether in the studio, or as evidenced here in the intimate setting of the OTP performance space, Bernocchi traverses genre & category with a deftness of touch & surety of ease, straddling the disparate courses of ambient, post-techno music, and other such abstract audio in a manner as surreal as it is real.

A bodybuilder was admiring his body in the mirror when he noticed he was suntanned everywhere but his penis. So, he went to the beach, naked, and buried himself in the sand with only his penis sticking out.
Two elderly ladies walked by and saw this penis sticking out of the sand. One of them moved it around with her cane. She said to her friend, "There isn't any justice in this world."
Her friend asked her what she meant.
"When I was 20, I was curious about it. When I was 30, I enjoyed it. When I was 40, I demanded it. When I was 50, I paid for it. When I was 60, I prayed for it. When I was 70, I forgot about it. And now that I'm 80, the damn things are growing wild, and I'm too old to squat."

Top Special-Occasion Restaurants
Le Grand Véfour, Paris
Built in 1784 and frequented by the likes of Victor Hugo and Napoleon Bonaparte, the 200-plus-year-old French eatery has managed to bottle the essence of classic Parisian elegance. Featuring gilded ceilings, lush crimson accents and a silver cheese trolley (with varieties arranged from mild to sharp so as not to overwhelm the palate), the posh dining room delights the senses. Guy Martin keeps the menu fresh, serving dishes like a truffle oxtail parmentier and an artichoke crème brûlée. Nested under the arches of the Palais Royal, Le Grand Véfour is utterly special in the most old-world of ways. 17 Rue de Beaujolais; 33-1/4296-5627; grand-vefour.com.

The "Green Fifteen" Tenets for Responsible Direct Marketing
I am often asked whether it is environmentally preferable to advertise on line or through direct mail. As posted previously. it is really difficult to make comparisons across different communications platforms. Clearly both means have an environmental impact, but the impacts of electronic devices are very different than those associated with print and paper. So my general response is to encourage people to use print communications responsibly.
To that end, the Direct Marketing Association has created a great list of 15 tenets for environmentally responsible practices.
The Green Fifteen
1. Honor customer choice about receipt of mail by:
- Maintaining in-house do-not-market lists.
- Using the Mail Preference Service (MPS) monthly for prospect mail.
- Providing customers with a point of contact to exercise their choice.
2. Reduce misdirected and undeliverable mail by using USPS or commercially equivalent files.
3. Merge/purge and eliminate duplicate mailings.
4. Target those who are most likely to respond by applying predictive models and segmentation.
5. Review your direct mail pieces and packages, and test downsized pieces when and where appropriate.
6. Ask your suppliers to submit alternate solutions for environmentally friendly mail pieces and packaging.
7. Test and use production methods that reduce print order overruns, waste allowances and in-process waste.
8. Increase your wood purchases from recognized forest certification programs.
9. Require paper suppliers to make a commitment to implementing sustainable forestry practices that protect ecosystems and biodiversity.
10. Ask paper suppliers about the source of the paper to avoid paper made from unsustainable or illegally managed forests.
11. Require paper suppliers to document that they do not produce paper from illegally harvested or stolen wood.
12. Purchase more office papers, packing and packaging materials made from recycled materials with post consumer content.
13. Integrate use of electronic communications for external and internal communications.
14. Avoid "greenwashing" – ensure your environmental labels and messaging are clear, honest and complete.
15. Encourage consumers to recycle your materials by participating in and using the DMA's Recycle Please logo on all your materials and consumer communications.

ARod: 23 Grand Slams = 23 Home Runs
Posted By Dave On June 13, 2012 @ 9:32 am In Yankees | No Comments
A lot is made of the grand slam. It's one of the more exciting plays in an otherwise mostly staid game. It's the most runs you can score with one swing of the bat. And now Alex Rodriguez [2] has more of them than almost anyone ever with the exception of Lou Gehrig, whom ARod tied with his 23rd grand salami last night.
But when you boil it down to its core what does the grand slam really mean? It means that the players ahead of the grand slam managed to get on base. The player who hits the grand slam is merely the beneficiary of good hitting (or poor fielding) ahead of him in the batting order.
I don't mean to take anything away from ARod. I believe in giving credit where it's due. I give ARod credit for 639 home runs in his career (so far). But I don't focus on the 23 he was fortunate to hit one with the bases loaded.

This is the project I've been working on. I've become a consulting artist for WASD keyboards, and this is my first prototype. In the next few months they will be releasing a line of Premium Keyboards for sale, which will include Tengwar (Shown, Tolkien's invention for his various languages of the Elves) as well Gallifreyan and Hylian. In the near future I plan to also release the Ancient's Alphabet (SG1), Vulcan, Romulan, Daedric (Elder Scrolls, Skyrim/Oblivion etc), as well as Atlantean (SGA)
For those unaware, WASD Keyboards puts out the highest end mechanical keyboards. If you don't know why you should use a mechanical keyboard, then you need to try a mechanical keyboard.
Subscribe and stay tuned as more updates come out. I'm very excited about these, and hope they're well received.
It's not quite as sleek as the other one, but it does have a certain childish charm, don't you think? :) Maybe I'll search the attic for old keyboards this summer when I go home…
I'd love to have such a colourful keyboard on my laptop! Make a note of it, friends, I want this for Christmas! I can settle with stickers, but I want colours!

New book chronicles the Patapsco & Back Rivers Railroad
By Frederick N. Rasmussen, The Baltimore Sun
September 25, 2010
The Patapsco & Back Rivers Railroad has never enjoyed the undying veneration and saturated scrutiny by the rail fan community in word and picture, for a variety of reasons. It never had on its tracks the speeding limiteds pulled by powerful locomotives with exotic-sounding names that caught the traveling public's imagination, nor did it ever serve steaming tureens of Terrapin a la Maryland or aged prime Kansas beef in plush dining cars. In fact, when one considers all the railroads that have served Baltimore and environs through the years — the Baltimore & Ohio, Pennsylvania, Western Maryland Railway, the Maryland & Pennsylvania and the Canton Railroad, and now CSX and Norfolk Southern — the least known is the Patapsco & Back Rivers Railroad.
Back River cleanup yields 2,000 tires, 170 tons of debris
By Mary Gail Hare, The Baltimore Sun
August 24, 2010
After a yearlong, mostly volunteer restoration effort, Back River in eastern Baltimore County is rid of more than 170 tons of debris, 2,000 tires and just last week, eight huge conduit pipes from a construction site. The river, long considered one of Maryland's most degraded waterways, is showing signs of life. Volunteers are finding crayfish, turtles and even a few crabs. "People are actually stopping and seeing how much work we have done," said Brian Schilpp, a county teacher who coordinates the cleanup.
Students get mucky cleaning up Back River
By Timothy B. Wheeler, The Baltimore Sun
July 7, 2010
You can talk all you want about cleaning up the environment, but sometimes you just have to get your hands dirty. That's the lesson a muck-spattered Ben Boor says he's picked up from his summer job clearing debris from Back River, one of Maryland's most degraded waterways. And some think it could be a lesson on how to tackle the Chesapeake Bay, too. As the sun blazed overhead Wednesday morning, the 21-year-old from Bel Air and three other area college students waded across the mudflats downriver from Interstate 695, reaching into the shallow water to wrest tires, a plastic garbage can and a waterlogged foam cushion from the murky ooze.
Midge infestation in Back River a mystery
By Timothy B. Wheeler, The Baltimore Sun
July 3, 2010
There's new life in Back River — though not quite what folks had been hoping for. The eastern Baltimore County waterway, long degraded by sewage and development, has been humming the past few summers with hordes of midges, gnat-like insects that swarm over the water and along the shoreline. They don't bite, though they look like mosquitoes. But their mating swarms are bedeviling waterfront residents, boaters and marina operators because the bugs are drawn to lights and light-colored objects.
Water main break shuts down Back River Neck Road in Essex
By Liz F. Kay, The Baltimore Sun
May 13, 2010
Back River Neck Road has been shut down in both directions at Old Eastern Avenue in Essex while Baltimore public works crews repair a water main break, according to a DPW spokesman. The break in the 12-inch main is affecting seven businesses, three homes, a senior apartment complex and three hydrants, according to spokesman Kurt Kocher. Bank River Neck Road is closed between Old Eastern Avenue and Homberg Avenue. Temporary repairs were not likely to be completed before the evening rush, Kocher said.
Water service to be restored on Back River Neck Road
May 1, 2010
The city Department of Public Works said residents of eastern Baltimore County neighborhoods along Back River Neck Road should have their water service restored after noon today, as repairs to a 12-inch main valve along the road are being completed on schedule. Water service was shut off at 9 p.m. Friday for about 11,000 customers in Back River Neck, Middle River, Middleborough, Turkey Point, Hyde Park, Rocky Point and Breezy Point and on Marlyn Avenue. The department said that once water is flowing again, residents should run their faucets to let the air out of the line and let the water clear.
Boom clearing Balto. Co. Back River of trash
By Mary Gail Hare, The Baltimore Sun
April 29, 2010
Brian Schilpp, who has spent his life along Back River, said he was never more proud of that heritage than on Wednesday, when he was overlooking a trash boom filled with waterlogged garbage. Baltimore County installed the heavy-duty vinyl boom last month at a cost of $80,000. The 700-foot-long entrapment device, held in place by seven anchors, has been stationed at the headwaters of the Back River, a waterway often reviled for its foul smells and trash-lined banks. While the boom halts the flow of debris downstream, it also shows how much trash is dumped into area waterways.
Organizing Volunteers To Restore Back River
By Mary Gail Hare and Mary Gail Hare,email@example.com
October 25, 2009
Even a casual glance at the view from his front porch brings an understanding of why Jerry Ziemski has worked so tirelessly to restore Back River. Sunlight glistens on gentle waves lapping at tree-lined shores. Blue herons, ducks and an occasional eagle flutter by. Anglers drop their lines from piers and crabbers check their nets. "I know this view is a dream for a lot of people, and I am lucky to have it," said Ziemski, 54, known to many of his Essex neighbors as Captain Jerry. "I stand on this porch, look out there and know all the cleanup work is worth it."
Back River's Debris Stirs Call To Action
By Mary Gail Hare and Mary Gail Hare,firstname.lastname@example.com
October 12, 2009
Concerned residents have recently cleared the Back River and its tributaries of more than 10 tons of debris and are urging officials to address continuing problems with trash flowing into the eastern Baltimore County creeks. The same group, striving to clean up the waterway's image, has adopted a new slogan - "Scenic Back River -- Discover the Hidden Treasure." While that caption will soon appear on nearby bridges and roadways, group members say the waterway still needs much polishing before it achieves gem status.
Average Acres?
By Timothy B. Wheeler and Timothy B. Wheeler,email@example.com
June 19, 2009
State and local officials are looking to buy a 190-acre waterfront farm in eastern Baltimore County from a developer, even though the partly wooded spread on Back River scored poorly on a rating system the state uses to rank potential purchases for parkland. No deal has been reached, and no one would reveal what price has been discussed with developer Mark C. Sapperstein, who says he has spent at least $6 million to buy and improve the land. But county officials, who paid Sapperstein more than the appraised value of another property two years ago, say they would be "very interested" in acquiring Bauer's Farm to preserve it from development and to expand public access to the river and Chesapeake Bay. "Anytime Baltimore County could preserve a couple hundred acres of prime waterfront property and add it to the county's park inventory, that would always get our interest," said Don Mohler, spokesman for County Executive James T. Smith Jr. The farm, with nearly a mile of shoreline, adjoins 1,360-acre North Point State Park, which has a wading beach, fishing pier and hiking trails.

Our man at Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club brings you all of the action from behind the scenes at the Maybank Malaysian Open.
From the Masters to Malaysia
Now that we've all had chance to draw breath following the dramatic conclusion to the Masters Tournament on Sunday, it is back to the action with this week's Maybank Malaysian Open. It's quite a trek from Augusta National to Kuala Lumpur but thankfully it's one that newly crowned Masters Champion Charl Schwartzel and Rory McIlroy have both made. The pair, who provided such enthralling entertainment for four rounds last week, landed at 7.30am local time on Wednesday morning after a gruelling 20 hour journey, that included a private jet to JFK airport in New York then a flight to London and another to the Malaysia capital. Following their exertion last week and in getting here, both have been given grace from the Pro-Am. Which was just as well really, as the pair discovered upon landing in Kuala Lumpur that neither of their clubs had made the connection. Not ideal preparation then but from the sound of it, both Rory and Charl had a good time on the way over. On the first stage of their journey, serial social networker Rory tweeted a picture of Charl and him on their jet, with Charl wearing the prize he claimed so impressively at Augusta National with the caption: "Flying to Malaysia with Charl. Glad one of us has the Green Jacket on". See the picture for yourself on Twitter. Rory has been nothing but magnanimous since missing out on his own maiden Major Championship and has impressed everyone with his attitude. Surely it's only a matter of time before the 21 year old is clutching one of golf's four Major prizes himself.
Major champions for a Major Milestone
The Maybank Malaysian Open celebrates its 50th anniversary this year and it's fitting that we have the strongest field ever assembled for the tournament here this week. For the first time in the event's prestigious history, three Major Champions will line up alongside each other in Open Champion Louis Oosthuizen, US PGA Champion Martin Kaymer and new Masters Champion Charl Schwartzel. It was very apt, therefore, that the tournament was launched on Tuesday night by another, five time Open Champion Peter Thomson, who played in the very first Malaysian Open in 1962.The Australian spoke in front of a gala dinner about the tournament's history, from its modest beginnings to the grand spectacle it is today. A fitting tribute from a golfing great.

Well, he was sorta asking for it, dressing in such flammable clothing.
if he didnt want to get set on fire, he should have stayed indoors
He was probably drinking that night, alcohol makes you susceptible to fire.
If it's a legitimate inferno, the male body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.
God I love you, Internet.
Why didn't he stop, drop, and roll? He should have stopped, dropped, and rolled. He must have secretly wanted it.
If you read the article, eyewitnesses said the man had purchased a lighter earlier that same day. Dude probably set himself on fire and lied about it. Typical.

The ThriftShopper.Com
Published on - April 10th, 2007 (by J.D. Roth)
Thrift stores are an excellent source for inexpensive books, furniture, and clothing. I visit the local Goodwill about once a month to browse my favorite sections for bargains. (I'm wearing a $3 sweater as I type this. My personal finance library is built around books purchased at thrift stores.)
Some people are wary of thrift shops — they think they're dirty and cheap. Others don't know where to begin. If you're in the latter camp, check out The ThriftShopper.Com, "a one-stop web destination for all your thrift shopping needs".
The site features a thrift store directory: just enter your zip and it will display a list of thrift stores in your vicinity. Users can rate stores on selection, pricing, organization, customer service, and cleanliness. They can also leave short reviews which, in the true spirit of the internet, are simultaneously helpful and, well, not so much.
This is single handedly the best thrift store in the entire world. All other thrift stores should compare as this is the "perfect" score. There is absolutely no better thrift store than this one. Maybe I should rate it real low instead. Clothes are sold by the pound, chairs, couches less than $20 dollars. Tons of bikes for less than $20 or $30, I have found it cheaper to buy a bike just to replace a lost or broken rear wheel and then use the rest for parts than anywhere else in the world. Seriously, everyone else who didn't think this was single handedly the best thrift store in the entire world is a douchetard.
The ThriftShopper.Com publishes an e-zine called The National Thrifter. This month's issue features articles on products from occupied Japan, party games, dying Easter eggs using neckties (!!!), and doll identificaton. There's also a thrifter of the month. There's an archive magazine back issues.
The ThriftShopper.Com has a discussion forum and a page of links. The latter features lists of national and local thrift stores, as well as small appliance manuals, and links to other thrift-related sites.
Thanks for the useful link! One misconception some of my friends seem to have about thrift stores is that they only carry old clothes. Then, they're surprised that my stylish glassware came from the Salvation Army store rather than Pottery Barn or Crate & Barrel. My latest thrift store treasure is something for work: a leather Franklin Covey binder in perfect condition for about 3% of the price it would have been new (I wrote about that find here: http://frugalux.com/?p=15).
Hi J.D., When I click on the link for the zip code locator, I only get a list of various thrift stores in a certain area of Portland …. I can't seem to reset the page so I can try a new zip code….
Okay, never mind, I figured it out….
Is there a potential for purchasing items via thrift stores and selling them for a profit on eBay? Is this morally correct?
I've always been interested in trying to start an eBay business, just to see what it's like.
Anybody have any experiences?
[...] area (or to check some out while on vacation), visit thethriftshopper.com. [J.D.'s note: I covered this site in [...]
I find enjoyment in the journey of the hunt for a great find at thrift stores. I found something called the "Goodwill Boutique" in San Francisco where I found shirts from Express, Banana Republic and the like in great shape.
Maybe it's off topic, but I also like to check out items on http://www.freecycle.com or place a wanted posting to the freecycle group to see if someone else has something I need and get for FREE before I go out to buy it. You can go to the URL and see if your area has a group. That's how I got my artificial Christmas tree.

Arboleda wines were born in 1999 as part of the shared dream that inspired Robert Mondavi and Eduardo Chadwick to realize the potential of Chile as a world class producer of fine wines. The name Arboleda in Spanish means grove of trees and is a tribute to the native Chilean trees that have been preserved within the vineyards that produce the Arboleda grapes.

I love peanut butter as much as i love my parents chocolate. By the way, those two make a lovely combination. Going back on topic now. On every visit to Market Street, I pick up a PB2 container, then proceed to put it back down. The reason? It costs $5.99 and I love the real stuff. Well, I took the plunge today and bought the powdered peanut butter. I have no regrets besides the one of never buying it. PB2 honestly tastes like the real thing. To make peanut butter, simply mix two tablespoons of the powder with a little over a tablespoon of water and give it a stir. Voila! You have peanut butter that has significantly less calories than the real thing. Two tablespoons have 45 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 5 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, and 5 grams of protein. This doesn't necessarily mean it is better than peanut butter, which contains healthy fats. Both are good options. PB2 is what dieters probably prefer because of the low calorie content. Well, I have some big plans for this newly acquired PB2.
I have been seeing goat cheese covered grapes all over the internet, so I thought that I should give them a try. I mean look at them. How could you not want to make them? Well, looks can be deceiving because I did not really enjoy these balls. This was the first time that I had goat cheese and it will probably be the last. I can't really explain the taste, but the word that comes to mind is tangy. It is definitely an acquired taste. I would love to try this recipe again except with another cheese. Does anyone have any cheese recommendations?

Homemade almond milk is a cinch to make! Unlike the ones found in the grocery store, this one has less sugar and few ingredients. I am a firm believer in using minimal ingredients to make a great product.

Like other nuts, pistachios are high in monounsaturated fat (the good kind). They have been shown to lower bad cholesterol and raise good cholesterol. In addition, these nuts contain vitamin E, which boosts the immune system. Just avoid eating dyed pistachios and stick with the plain ones.

Recipe for Quinoa with Nuts and Cranberries
Over medium heat, stir and toast your choice of nuts until golden. Add the quinoa and toast a few more minutes until it begins to darken. Transfer the toasted quinoa and the nuts to a 2 quart saucepan and add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, covered, then reduce the heat to simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Fluff gently with a fork and serve.
This is the recipe from the back of the Earthly Delights Quinoa bag. I just added the possibility of using walnuts instead of almonds. Enjoy!
(via foodblogtour-deactivated2012061)
Out of all of the nuts, walnuts contain the most omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to reduce cholesterol, fight cancer, and improve mood. Toss these on top of your oatmeal, salad, or yogurt. Just remember to eat nuts in moderation because they are still high in calories.

Otherworlds Convention 2014
This April, Lunatic Events will be gathering all fans of steampunk, horror, fantasy, sci-fi, monsters, goth, and RPG, all geeks and cosplayers, for the Otherworlds Convention, to be held in Warrington, Cheshire.
Lunatic Events was founded by costumer Julie Morrisroe, who then dragged her gothic photographer friend, Amanda Norman, along for the ride. Fed up of having to travel far and wide to pursue her geek interests, Julie created Lunatic Events with the sole purpose of bringing such events to her hometown. She intends to 'be responsible for a variety of fantastical and quirky events throughout the year within the North West of England.'
As well as a whole host of traders, authors, exhibitions, and photographers, there will be guest speakers, panels, a charity auction, live RPG, and two Guiness World Record attempts: largest gathering of fairies, and an attempt to beat San Diego Comic-Con's record for the most steampunks in one place.
The weekend will also include special effects demonstrations, cosplay and 'Scream like a Queen' workshops, and a zombie acting master class. Live entertainment will include Jon Scotland's Psychic Games & Experiments, Dark Circus performances, and a film showing from award-winning independent filmmaker Chris Stone.

It's that time of year again; tinsel and advent calendars on every shop shelf, kids praying for enough snow to close their school, otherwise rational people donning Santa and elf costumes. Yep, Christmas is on its way.
And once again, the festive season has brought with it another Facebook campaign for Christmas No 1. This year, it's AC/DC's Highway to Hell that is the song of choice, with the Facebook page already boasting more than 124,000 likes.
After a similar campaign in 2009, Rage Against the Machine snatched the coveted chart spot from X-Factor winner Joe McElderry with their 1992 song 'Killing in the Name'.
Started by English DJ Jon Morter and his wife Tracy, the campaign sought to stop the seemingly inevitable claim that X-Factor had over the Christmas No 1 spot year after year. The campaign ironically gained more coverage after the man himself - Simon Cowell - slammed it as being "stupid" and "cynical", gaining support from the likes of Paul McCartney, Dave Grohl, and The Prodigy, as well as Rage themselves.
X-Factor's Sam Bailey is the bookmaker's favourite to win the TV talent show this year. The prison officer from Leicester is under the mentorship of Sharon Osbourne; no stranger to rock and roll herself. So will X-Factor once again prevail, or will it be another rock classic we'll be listening to while scoffing our turkey and sprouts this year?
Legendary Heavy Metal DJ stars in UK Comedy Horror Film!

What is the weight if a Mens large? Difference between 2L & 3L Goretex? and where manufactured?
Hayden Beck
Member since
The difference between 3L and 2L goretex is the breathability. For instance a 3l jacet is tougher and more weather-proof ( but all gore-tex jackets/pants/gloves are waterproof) And a 2L jacket is less weather-proof but more breathable.
Thumbs up. Good jacket.
Member since
This is a good warm jacket. And not too bulky for being down filled. Even the hood is down filled! The zippers feel good and tough and the "Pow Grips" in the cuffs are awesome. The zipper vents under the arms have no mesh lining to them, they're just wide open. Not sure how I feel about that. And the sizing is a little big. Most people could stand to step down a size and it should fit pretty nicely. The pockets though... You've got a left breast pocket on the outside and a left breast pocket on the inside and nothing at all on the right side. Makes no sense. Why not even it out? If you have something in both of those pockets then the front left of the jacket puffs out more than the right. Hardly a reason not to buy it but it just seemed silly to me. Overall it's a really good warm jacket that you could wear almost anywhere on any hill. It might be a few more bucks than it should be but name brands always are.
Steve Mitchell
Member since
Even though this isn't an 800 fill down jacket, I think 600 works just fine. I have been in -10*F so far with this in nothing more than a long sleeve base layer underneath and was just fine. This is a simple jacket, just meant to keep you warm when it's cold, steep, and deep, and it does just that. The reason it's not 5 stars is because the material it's made from seems to tear more easily than it should. I had a quick brush with a branch through some trees that left a little rip on my sleeve. Other than that, it's been a great jacket.
Invest in a more feature filled option.
Michael Lindsley
Member since
I have a great deal of Burton products in my closet, and they have been very reliable throughout the years. Especially those which are part of the AK line. That being said I was a bit disappointed with this jacket, considering that for the price it should have significantly more features.
For instance offerings by Burton's competitors in this price point tend to offer premium synthetic down fill, or an 800 fill rating. In addition to this while the 2 layer material offers the awesome waterproofing Gore-Tex is known for it also suffers from the breathability issues that are known to plague Gore products. This is something that can be compensated with synthetic insulation, however with down any build up of condensation will greatly effect the ability to keep me warm.
On the plus side it's not all bad news. The styling is excellent, on par with Burton's latest offerings. In addition to this the use of a YKK standard zipper also means reliable function and easy repairs if necessary.

A large should suit you fine. However if your looking for a more fitted look a medium will also work. You are right there for both sizes.
BEST jacket out!

Does it have zip link jacket to pant interface?

No...no...no, but when is the industry going to pony up and make more universal pant to jacket interfaces? I guess the shredding waist deep market is still a bit of a niche.

As stakeholders are increasingly learning, and as best practice is increasingly demonstrating, disaster preparedness and response is not only about emergency and humanitarian interventions. Instead, actions taken in support of disaster risk reduction, and more broadly disaster management, are cross cutting and ultimately centre on aid effectiveness that spans a continuum of immediate life-saving intervention to longer term sustained development outcomes and effective policies.
The study has presented the argument that the HRG is well placed to help lead discussion on how the ANGO sector can work more effectively, more collaboratively, and more in partnership with one another and other key stakeholders in maximising development outcomes. Yet, the findings go beyond the HRG to reflections on the larger ANGO community—its challenges, limitations, and opportunities—as a driver for change, further professionalisation of the sector and for greater development impact. Even with the limitations imposed by, for example, geography or status within a larger confederation and/or alliance structure, ANGOs are also uniquely positioned to help drive best practice and aid effectiveness. Although relatively small players individually in the international arena of aid and development actors, ANGOs still bring together a broad array of experiences, expertise and complementarities that can be harnessed and made mutually reinforcing and productive. Through leadership provided by ACFID as a peak council and through committees such as the HRG, the ANGOs have, at the least, less physical constraints to coming together to identify how the sector can continue to evolve and demonstrate its relevancy and added value. At a time when so many other players are now engaged in aid and development, being self-reflective and asking fundamental questions regarding who we are as a sector, what added value we bring to the table, how we work more collaboratively as a sector, and how we work more as a 'whole-of-community' would seem essential.
Not only should there be reflection within the sector on core identity and added value, but this needs to extend out to all stakeholders—including whole-of-government—in Australia engaged in disaster preparedness, planning and response. We should all be asking the core question: 'What does excellence look like and how can we achieve it?'.
