TED Ideas Worth Funding
For many years now, we are learning ideas worth spreading on TED.
I then asked myself:
- What's happening to TED ideas after broadcasting?
- How could we ensure that great ideas come to life?
- How could we help an idea to come to life?
Which lead me to:
- How could we bring TED to its next evolutionary stage?
My ideas:
- Let's embed a crowd funding model into TED. Let's ensure that great ideas have the financial support required to come to life and to impact our society.
(if you need to learn about it, here is a link to wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowd_funding )
- Let's even consider embedding crowd sourcing into TED. So, we could all work collaboratively at making the world a better place.
(wiki link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowdsourcing)
That's one thing to have an idea; that's another to make it happen. Let's make it easier for everyone and for us.
Fritzie -
Jan 18 2013: While TED and TEDx speakers are not permitted, I think fortunately, to use the stage to make pitches for funding for their projects, every talk you hear gives you links to the speaker's bio and organization.
- +2
I know when a speaker has caught my interest, I have followed up often by reading his further work or by exploring her organization's website.
So I think it's really easy for anyone here to make contributions to what the speakers are doing by following the links to their websites. Not all speakers are people of action, some being scholars who leave it for others to use their ideas, but many are active through organizations they found or work in that any of us could assist if we choose.
I agree with Edward that the nature of the TED site would change for the worse if it became a venue for marketing and fundraising, as so many venues are.
Jan 19 2013: Thanks Fritzie for your comment. It's much appreciated.
I agree with your angle especially regarding the speakers.
But what about this "Ideas" channel where my question is located?
A what, in my department, we created an "idea register". We collate them and a department committee assess the benefits and viability of each idea. By exception we submit it to voting by our colleagues. Great ideas will have an action owner (usually a Manager or up) and staff will be allocated based on priority of the new project, our currently portfolio and availability of staff and resources.
We have ideas, and we make our ideas come to life. We don't sit and just watch it pass and fade away.
Fritzie -
Jan 19 2013: I feel very much the same way about TED Conversations, that if it were a free marketing channel, that aspect would quickly come to dominate the setting. Those who are attracted to the site to learn and wrestle with ideas in community very likely would seek another forum where they could do that without being distracted by a barrage of pitches for funding.
- +1
There are other online venues, like Kickstarter or Kiva, that are focused on the display of proposals for crowd-sourced funding. Not every venue needs to become that.Jan 19 2013: In addition, what is your point of view on the crowd sourcing of an idea, abstracting the funding part? More like an international collaborative project.
Fritzie -
Jan 19 2013: I love the idea of international collaborations, whether of a crowd-sourced kind or not. Open Ideo is an example of a forum that does this in an organized way. Clay Shirky in one of his TED talks about Ushahidi, another great example. He and others talk about Wikipedia along these lines, a crowd-sourced effort with tremendous public benefit. Mochai Benkler's TED talk about open source economics mentions SETI - maybe also Linux?- but also puts forward a theoretical framework for why this works so well and why people are willing to contribute for free. The Northwest Folklife festival, the largest free folk festival in the US, uses thousands of volunteers, both on stages and in operations to make it happen and almost no paid staff.

Jan 18 2013: I think there is a certain cleanness about TED that would be lost if funding became a goal. TED is the coffee shop, or corner pub, where ideas are discussed. After leaving the pub, if we have been energized and inspired by all the crisp, candid conversation, collaboration and debate, we move elsewhere to pursue the rigorous, mundane entrepreneurial functions. Do not turn the coffee shop into a bunch of bean-counters in cubicles. I do think it would be very interesting to know about ideas that are incubated at TED and go beyond the talking stage. As Mr. Lockwood says, "Just enjoy the talks."Jan 25 2013: I agree with most comments so far. I love TED broadcasts and I don't want it to because a capitalist thing and annoy its users.
- +1
I have my own ideas (private business ideas) and I am working hard to make it come to life. It's not an easy task. It requires the assembling of a skilled international team. It requires time, personal and financial investment. I have a full understanding of the full life cycle of an ideas (or business) from its generation, implementation to retirement.
To have TED ideas and to share it is one thing (and an excellent one). But it's another thing to make ideas happen. The essence of my idea is "how could we help ideas coming into life?"
Potential help such as:
- design
- execution
- manufacturing
- funding
- business management
- risk management
- project management
- marketing
- legal
- programming
- etc.
Don't just focus on the funding part (most people dislike the concept, but they like the money when it flows in). If an idea would be supported by crowd sourcing the need for funding could be minimal if not nil. But without crowd sourcing, the need for funding is significantly higher as a project would need to hire specialists and consultants to do the work.
How can we help TED ideas?Jan 25 2013: I would not enjoy Ted as much as I do now, if I was asked to make contributions or click on tabs. It's not because I am selfish, but more that I would not really be able to believe the real reason why the speakers are speaking. When I strongly believe in the speaker, I would go to their website and make my own arrangements thereon.Jan 19 2013: During the Vietnam War, while serving as an Army Medic (USAR) on an amputee ward at Walson Army Hospital, there was a moment when I realized the discomfort for so many of the patients who were unable to brush their own teeth.
Finally, four years ago, an earnest effort began and now the means by which to accomplish the task of brushing one's teeth unaided and without a brush, paste, or water has been prototyped and patented. It is Clean Bite™ and hopefully, it will bring oral hygiene to not only those first intended, but as well, at risk children, the poor, and populations most in need globally.
Healthful Innovation: the toothbrush made of food … that you ingest!
• Shaped like a double mouthpiece, the Clean Bite™ contains almost 800 bristles and is a single use toothbrush
• Provides 60-90 seconds of utility, and thereafter dissolves and can be ingested or disposed
• Dentifrice is contained in four separate reservoirs located on the horizontal plane between the bites and upon first compression small ports rupture providing equal distribution
• Bristles are set at 45° to the gum line to better brush the teeth and gums
• Bristles brush the teeth, gingival margin, and tongue
• Frontal port enables breathing in the event that the user is congested
• Comprised of Gelatin and other GRAS materials
• The Clean Bite™ when consumed maybe employed as a delivery system for vitamins, nutrients, medications, and possibly microencapsulated vaccines in developing countries
• Water soluble and biodegradable
• Comes in different flavors and sizes for both adults and children
• 24 times the surface contact area in comparison to the traditional brushes
• Contains Xylitol
• Both design and material formulation are U.S. Patented
• Primary US market is "at risk children" receiving free or reduced cost meals at school and are 3x's more likely to have untreated caries than their peers, (31M "ARC" out of a US K-12 student population of 52.5M)
• disaster relief, travelers, etc.Jan 18 2013: I just enjoy the talks Of course, the implemation of new ideas in our lives do not always generate recognition.

Recipe by M.K. Meredith
"My mom has always made this for us on Christmas morning, and since we only have it once a year it makes it even more good. It is so delicious, and everyone enjoys it! When I double the recipe I use 1 pound regular sausage and 1 pound sage sausage."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 pound
ground pork sausage
1 teaspoon
mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon
eggs, beaten
2 cups
6 slices
white bread, toasted and cut into cubes
8 ounces
mild Cheddar cheese, shredded
This is a good basic recipe but I think it needs a little revamp. Here is the revamping I did....
I used 1 cup of Half and Half instead of 2 cups of milk (too soggy with that much milk)
I used 6 eggs instead of 4 for a richer egg texture.
I added 3 tbsns green onions to the milk/egg mixture.
I used 6 slices of THICK texas toast and covered the bottom of the pan with it. I then put the cooked sausage over that. (Bob Evans Spicy Hot Sausage from Kroger) I then put 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese over that. Then I pour the egg/half and half/green onion mixture over that.
I bake after letting it sit in the fridge for 8-12 hours at 350 degree for 25 minutes.
I guess I should post a new recipe!!
Good recipe. One addition I tried last weekend was to use hash browns instead of bread. Really folks, it was amazing and took it to the next level. Give it a try! Otherwise, good recipe as is.

This is the BEST breakfast casserole ever! I have made it several times for Christmas. This past weekend was my daughters high school prom and our house ended up being the "after party". I put out a spread for them including this casserole. The kids raved about it! My daughters bf asked me when I was going to make it again! So...I will be making it again this weekend! LOL! I do make a few changes that I have picked up on here. I use the Jimmy Dean Maple Sausage, 6 eggs (I think I am going to try 8 next time), 1 1/2 Cups milk (I think I am going to try the full 2 Cups next time), I don't think I am going to use additional salt next time b/c I feel it is salty enough from the sausage and cheese. I use the mild cheddar, but I use 1 box of Marie Callendar Cheddar/Garlic croutons instead of the bread and that adds to the cheesy flavor. And I add a little bit more of the dried mustard. It is an excellent breakfast casserole!
This dish is absolutely delicious! I doubled the recipe using 3 bags of Marie Callendar's Cheese & Garlic Croutons instead of plain bread, 20 eggs, 1/2 cup sliced scallions, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 6 cups of milk, 2 teaspoons mustard powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 pound each of Monterrey Jack and Mild Cheddar Cheese. I put shredded cheese on the top of it in the last 15 minutes of baking. I made this recipe for a Holiday Brunch at my place of employment and it won a prize for "Best Breakfast Casserole"! Thank you M.K. Meredith for this fantastic recipe!
So tasty, so easy, so great!! I've made this three times (for a houseful of company each time), and it's always a hit. (It's also really nice to be able to visit in the morning instead of standing at the stove.) These are generous servings, and thank goodness - everyone goes for seconds! I've tried the half regular/half sage sausage combo as suggested, but my favorite is to just use Jimmy Dean Maple flavor sausage - HEAVENLY. This is my go-to recipe to impress for breakfast or brunch!
This was really pretty good. I am not a big egg person but this I would eat again.
I'd bought the wrong type of sausage... so I figured I'd just squeeze it out of the casing to brown, then when I went to do that I found out it was PRECOOKED! Not a problem at all. I just popped the precooked (beef) sausage into my Ultimate Chopper and gave it a few zaps, saved a ton of time and mess!
I had this thing whipped together in just a few minutes. I did increase the bread to 8 slices, cheese to 3 cups and reduced the milk to 1 cup...didn't want to take any chances of anything being "runny or slimey". Added a chopped onion according to other suggestions. The 8 slices of bread may have been a bit much for some... it was pretty thick but I think I'll stick with it as it turned out so well. Nothing worse than slimey eggs!
Oh and I had put this in my lazagna pan, so cut the servings the way I would a lazagna. The left overs I wrapped in the Press-n-Seal wrap in single serving sizes and put them in the freezer. The next morning we just popped one in the microwave for 1 minute, turned out just as good as the first day. Would be good to do a pan of this up and cut the whole thing up in single serve slices to freeze for those need a good breakfast quick mornings.
This is wonderful on a cold December morning especially at Christmas. The bread does not have to be toasted or cut up. You can just cut the crusts off and make one layer on the bottom of the baking dish and pour the egg mixture over it. I sometimes saute chopped onion with the sausage, also have added mushrooms. I always serve with side of picante and sour cream, but not necessary.
I prepared this Christmas eve with a few changes from others. I made this with 6 eggs, maple sausage. I used 1/2 cup croutons & 6 slices of toated bread. Added about 2 teaspoons green chili's for enough zip & not a lot of hot so my children would eat this. I agree 9x13 makes this to thin. I used a 11x7 & will use a 8x8 or 10x10 next year. This was Wonderful, A NO fail recipe. Pop in the oven while family is opening presents or make this for anytime of year. To good to only make once a year!

Comments On May 21, 2015:This is the best tire you can buy for hare scrambles. It has held up great and it is the dominant tire on the track. Works well and lasts great. Would recommend to anyone. I put this on every bike I own.

Comments On Feb 08, 2015:Tires are hard to review for many reasons. Each bike is different. Weight and suspension change everything. Every rider is different. What can I say? The tire builds confidence in the corners. Cornering traction is amazing. This is the first tire to make it more than 3 rides without starting to blow off complete side knobs. I'm done with Pirelli fronts forever. If this tire doesn't do well, I'll try the starcross mh3. If that doesn't work, back to bridgestones!

Comments On Feb 04, 2014:I ran these tires in DS, enduro and Hatfield McCoy. Mostly in southern Ohio and even a little MX. I really have no complaints as they hooked up for me and even worked well in deep mud. They where perfect on mx course. 14lbs in front and 12-13 rear I had no flats and really good wear. I rate a 4 as I'm always looking for more.

Comments On Aug 23, 2013:This is my benchmark to compare all other front tires to. I keep going back to this tire after trying others. Its got amazing traction when new, but the side knobs will wear and it will start to slip... nothing lasts forever! I don't like the rear tire at all. It has mediocre traction when now and gets bad when it wears.

Why create an aluminium print from Albelli?
- Sharp image quality
- Matte finish, so no mirror effect
- UV and weather resistant, suitable for hanging indoors and outdoors
- Protective packaging and fast delivery
- Free invisible hanging system
- 100% satisfaction guarantee
Top quality Dibond aluminium
We use top quality aluminium, called Dibond. This material is 3mm thick and consists of three solid layers. The two outer layers are made of aluminium, while the middle layer is made of hard plastic. This keeps your aluminium print strong and solid.
The aluminium is equipped with a white underlay, which your photo is printed on. The white layer replaces the white areas of your photo, making the white parts of your photo even brighter. This printing process is one of reasons why black and white photos look so great on aluminium! Aluminium is strong, so your best photos remain in the spotlight for years.
Hanging your aluminium print
You can hang your aluminium print inside or outside. We provide an invisible suspension system at the back of your print. With just one screw you can hang your print on the wall and spacers make sure it hangs straight and secure. The hanging system is completely invisible from the front and doesn't create any holes in your print.
For sizes 80 x 120cm, 120 x 80cm and 100 x 100cm a metal frame is attached on the back. This ensures the large format fits firmly to the wall.
100% satisfaction guarantee
At Albelli we guarantee your 100% satisfaction. We carefully package your aluminium print to ensure that it reaches you in perfect condition. If you're not completely happy with your aluminium print, we'll reprint your order for you or provide you with a full refund.

The Texas Derby is upon us. Eddie Robinson breaks down Saturday's rivalry match, plus hear from Dominic Kinnear, Giles Barnes, Kofi Sarkodie and Tony Cascio.
On Tuesday night, I was lucky enough to be at the 2014 Shell Legacy Award dinner and see a true Houston community hero—and a friend—honored in Brian Ching. If you don't know about the Shell Legacy Award, it was established in 2008 and recognizes and honors individuals who have greatly impacted and improved the local community. Past recipients include former First Lady Barbara Bush, former Secretary of State James Baker III, former Dallas Cowboy and Football Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith (who sat at Brian's table last night) and former Heavyweight Champion George Foreman.
Dynamo President Chris Canetti and the first House that Ching Built recipient Teresa Urbano spoke about Brian's commitment and dedication to making Houston a better place. Chris touched on his accomplishments on and off the field (which are many), and Teresa really brought a personal viewpoint to all Brian has achieved in the community.
The one area where Brian really excelled was around setting the tone in the Dynamo locker room. Not only did he tell his teammates how important it is to give back to the community, he went out and led the way for him. A true leader is one who can talk the talk and then back it up personally by walking the walk. Through his work with Recipe for Success, Habitat for Humanity, Ching's Champions, Building a Better Houston and visiting kids, taking pictures, giving autographs, etc., Brian showed his teammates what it truly means to be part of the Houston community. I think he said it best last night: "Neighbors helping neighbors—that's what it is all about."
We at Dynamo Charities are so glad that we have had the chance to work with Brian—and will continue to work with him to do a third House that Ching Built next year. Thanks to the donation tied to the Shell Legacy Award and additional money that Dynamo Charities has raised, we are only a few thousand dollars short of accomplishing that goal.

The Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend has rapidly morphed from a disruptive worry into a strategic, positive initiative for many organizations across the globe, according to results from a new global survey released recently.
In fact, significant business benefits often follow when BYOD-adopter companies empower their employees with their preferred devices and work habits, as well as more say in the applications and data access they need to get their jobs done… anytime, from anywhere, the survey shows.
What's more, the rapidly improved productivity and enhanced collaboration among employees—as well as greater communication and better service with customers, suppliers and partners—are proving to be competitive advantages for companies that do BYOD best.
The survey was recently conducted by Dell Software Group and market researcher Vanson Bourne from nearly 1,500 IT executives around the world. It clearly demonstrates that, while BYOD shows promise, many organizations are struggling with making the most of BYOD. [Disclosure: Quest Software, part of Dell's Software Group, is a sponsor of BriefingsDirect podcasts.]
The majority of survey respondents agree that BYOD strategies deliver benefits—more than 70 percent said they believe that BYOD can boost employee productivity and customer response time, and 59 percent say they feel their company could be at a competitive disadvantage if they didn't implement BYOD.
And attitudes toward the innovation impact that BYOD has are largely the same among the midsized (between 1,000 and 3,000 employees) and large (more than 3,000 employees) companies surveyed. Roughly half of respondents in both groups say that BYOD has significantly changed the business culture at their organizations.
Yet less than half of the IT leadership respondents—44 percent—say they understand the importance of a user-centric approach to BYOD. And this is where many organizations are missing the boat, according to Dell Software.
"It's important that organizations define a program to help manage and protect their corporate information, but also to empower employees to do their jobs better and faster, or to improve customer satisfaction, or whatever the goal is," says Roger Bjork, Director of Enterprise Mobility Solutions at Dell Software Group. "Companies that do BYOD for a purpose, to help with a broader goal, are seeing better results versus those who simply let BYOD happen. A big part of that is focusing on the user aspect, and not limiting it to a device discussion."
To me these results should remove doubt that embracing desktop virtualization (VDI) and mobile device management are priorities for IT. I also think that BYOD is a catalyst to more general IT transformation and more business-centric emphasis for IT innovation. You could say that BYOD forms a capstone on the rising archway of VDI, web apps, thin clients, terminal services, and other applications delivery advancements overt the past 15 years.
The idea, of course, going back to the very first PCs, is to let the user decide how to work best.
Benefits of putting users first
Indeed, those survey respondents who say they believe the user-centric approach to BYOD is the right one also reported they are able to drive business benefits, satisfy users and gain a competitive edge to a higher degree than survey respondents who don't see the benefit of a user-centric approach. Some 64 percent of respondents say BYOD works well when the specific user needs are understood by IT.
And respondents at companies further along in their BYOD strategy implementations are more likely to agree that the most benefit is derived from programs that put the user first. Understanding individual user needs and the resulting improvements in employee productivity and satisfaction are much more important pillars of a BYOD strategy than simply allowing employees to use the device in their pocket or purse for work, says Bjork.
"You do a disservice if you make this about what shiny object do employees want to use to connect to email. It's much broader than that," he says. "I think the survey data definitely shows companies that have well thought-out BYOD strategies have fewer issues and are garnering better results."
A one-size fits all approach to BYOD does not work, says Bjork, IT should manage the spread of BYOD. "You can't just let BYOD happen," he added.
A user-centric approach to BYOD fits with the recent trend for IT to transform into a service-delivery organization that understands not only the goals of the business, but how to support employees to help them achieve these goals, adds Bjork. What's more, as the Millennial Generation enters the workforce with certain digital expectations, user-centric BYOD policies can be leveraged as recruiting tools.
"Let's face it, this is not just a mobile thing. It has a much broader impact," says Bjork. "BYOD is a method, not a result… You should start by asking 'What is the user trying to accomplish?'"
The bottom line is that IT now needs to support multiple ways of working for a variety of styles and devices that appeal and adjust based on user preferences and innovations.
Additional points
Other noteworthy points that arose from the survey:
Dell's position on the importance of a user-centric BYOD strategy comes from experience. Carol Fawcett was the CIO of Quest Software, which was recently acquired by Dell, with nearly 4,000 employees in 23 countries. The company focused on giving employees access to the applications and data they needed to get their jobs done, regardless of what device was being used.
"We found this approach helped us quickly move out of device firefighting mode to be much more strategic, which also enabled us to resolve our biggest BYOD problems, such as security, access rights and data leakage," says Fawcett. "The results of this latest BYOD survey reinforce the importance of putting users first in order to develop the most effective policies and turn BYOD into a long-term, sustainable business benefit."
As Quest found with its own workers, the better planned the BYOD acceptance, the fewer negative issues and the better the productivity result. I recently spoke with Fawcett at length about the experience.
I think we should also expect that BYOD planning will be done in association with—and as an accelerant to—other larger initiatives such as data center consolidation, IT transformation, and applications modernization.
Bjork further suggested that companies that have a policy-based approach to security and access control, and adopt services oriented architectures and data lifecycle management will be in a better position to avail themselves of BYOD faster and at lower risk. VDI and thin-client initiatives also pave the way to BYOD.

Posted: 24th January 2013 | By Tony Young :
Thanks for the article. We've researched this topic extensively with a CIO consortium. I think a very important distinction is between BYOD vs BYOPC. What I find is that many people think BYOD includes BYOPC and these two topics should be distinguished. Secondly, our findings really come back to the core of why we are in business. Is there an ROI to BYOD? In reality, there is no uniform answer for everyone. It really depends on your industry, your company, your geographic dispersion, your executive team, your security posture...the list goes on.

1 recipe
pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
tart apples - peeled, cored and sliced
1/2 cup
white sugar
2 teaspoons
ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons
butter, divided
I really liked this pie recipe! It was simple yet flavorful. The only thing I did differently was to bake the pie at 400 for about 30 minutes to avoid a soggy crust, but will definitely keep this recipe to use for the future. Thanks!
I rated this a tad lower than most of the other reviews because I feel it necessary to alter the recipe to include 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1 tsp nutmeg. The pie was not sweet enough without the brown sugar, and nutmeg was necessary to compliment the cinnamon. I used this recipe in a 9 inch glass pie dish and baked it at 350 for 55 minutes.

This was really good pie! We loved it. I used an assortment of apples:
2 Fujis
2 Granny Smith
2 Golden Delecious
I think that's one of the secrests to a really good apple pie, combining really good apples together.
I also ended up adding more cinnamon than called for, about 1 tsp as well as 1/2 tsp of nutmeg as I really like a spicy apple pie. I slpashed about 1 tblp of real mexican vanilla over the top of the apples, before I put the top crust on.
To top it off, I brushed 2-3 tblsp mented butter on the top crust, and sprinkled it with a few tblsp granulated sugar. This made for a beautifuly golden, and crispy top crust. I served it warm with fresh whipped cream. YUM!!!!!
Yummy.. this was great. I omitted the butter and instead added 10 caramels, cut in half. I put half the apples in the crust, then half the caramels, then the remaining apples and caramels. Brushed the crust with cream and sprinkled with sugar before baking. Absolutely wonderful.
This was by far one of the best apple pies I've ever made!! I used a combination of granny smith and cortland apples. I also drizzled approximately 1 tbsp of real lemon juice over the apple/flour mixture once I put it into the pie shell. This pie had the perfect combination of tart/sweet taste. Warmed up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top - absolutely heavenly!!! I use frozen pie crust for the bottom of the pie and my own recipe for the top!! I use the recipe off of the can of Crisco. It has always been a foolproof recipe for me. The two tricks to flaky crust (as taught to me by my mom), try to handle the dough as little as possible. Also use ice water. This time around I also tried chilling the shortening - was one of the best crusts I've ever made! Happy Baking!!
I cut up the amount of apples you had in the recipe and had enough for 2 1/2 pies. I put the extra [with all the seasonings] into a sauce pan, added a litle water and cooked until soft. About 30 seconds in the blender and had the best cinnamon apple sauce ever. Great recipe.
I used the Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust and the pie came out perfect. It was the best apple pie I've made. I also used the food processor to cut the apples really thin and I think that helped.
This pie was very easy, in fact it was the first time I ever made a pie. I had way too many apples, even though I used a deep dish, so I left some out. The only thing is that next time I will add more sugar--its just didn't seem sweet enough. But it was still really good.

Rated 4.3 out of 5�by 134 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Crossover13 Good Product!!!! I play basketball and I normally use this product to protect my ankle especially if I'm wearing low cut basketball shoes.It provides good ankle support; not stiff as compared to other products.However, it is a little bit expensive....... May 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by dwinters14 Great support I sprained my ankle really bad, and would have been unable to walk for at least a month. But I bought this almost immediately after my injury, and I've been able to walk very well, and recently have been able to start playing basketball again. It allows enough flexibility to be comfortable, but enough support to make sense using it while playing sports. I definitely recommend this to anyone with weak ankles, or who's injury prone like myself to help keep everything where it needs to be when that twist happens! November 6, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by Anthony Compression great, but not support I purchased this product but had to return it. The quality was great and the lace design is what I was looking for, since I prefer the laces over Velcro. The compression for the ankle was good, but I needed support, which it did not provide. Again the quality is great and if compression is what your looking for, it good. August 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Relenta3 Provides Relief This was recommended by my podiatrist. I have developed tendonitis in my ankle, requiring support and wanting comfort. This brace provided both. July 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by D Great Support/Value Ive had weak ankles my entire life due to playing sports year round. Ive been through every brace/support and this one provides great comfort and doesnt feel bulky and over restrictive. Thankful that I stumbled on this product! October 17, 2012

Chinese and Japanese groups that insure ships against risks such as oil spills said European Union sanctions limit their ability to cover tankers hauling Iran's crude, raising speculation governments may intervene.
The Japan Ship Owners' Mutual Protection & Indemnity Association and the China Shipowners Mutual Assurance Association are reinsured through the London-based International Group of P&I Clubs, meaning they are indirectly affected by EU sanctions approved Jan. 23, the organizations said. Both groups say they are the largest insurers for ships in their respective countries, the two biggest importers of Iranian oil.
"The question now is, will the Chinese and Japanese governments get involved and subsidize insurance or guarantee insurance," Mike Roderick, a partner at international trade law firm Clyde & Co. in London, said by phone today. "It's more difficult for Japan because of its ties to the U.S. But China might."
The EU ban on the purchase, transportation, financing and insurance of Iranian oil affects Asian importers because 95 percent of the world's tankers are insured by the 13 members of the International Group, according to Andrew Bardot, the organization's executive officer. While China said it won't reduce imports, the EU sanctions make fewer ships available to load the cargoes from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries' second-largest producer.
Recovery or Indemnity
A provision within the Japanese club's rules this year "excludes any recovery or indemnity where the liabilities, costs or expenses are not recoverable from the club's reinsurers due to sanctions," Royston Deitch, the Japan club's London spokesman, said yesterday by e-mail. "The club benefits from the reinsurance program of the International Group of P&I Clubs, much of which is placed in London."
The Chinese association "is in the same situation as the International Group of P&I Clubs," according to a faxed reply to questions today from the Beijing-based group.
The Japanese club, the country's only group of its kind, covers almost half the combined supertanker fleet of Mitsui (9104) O.S.K. Lines Ltd. and Nippon Yusen (9101) K.K., the world's two largest owners of the vessels, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
It insures 24 of Mitsui's 39 sailing supertankers, known in the industry as very large crude carriers, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Two U.K.-based clubs that are also International Group members insure the others, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The Tokyo-based owner won't transport Iranian oil without insurance, spokeswoman Akika Hamakawa said today by e-mail.
Iranian Oil
Seven of NYK's 29 supertankers are insured by the Japanese club and the rest by European members of the International Group, the data show. The Tokyo-based company won't carry Iranian oil without insurance, investor relations manager Yuji Isoda said Feb. 8.
The Chinese club's members are "the major shipping companies in China," it said. COSCO Group and China Shipping Group each own 12 VLCCs, according to Clarkson Research Services Ltd., a unit of the world's largest shipbroker.
New York-based Overseas Shipholding Group Inc. (OSG), Hamilton, Bermuda-based Frontline Ltd (FRO). and owners controlling more than 100 supertankers said between Feb. 9 and Feb. 11 they would stop carrying Iranian oil.
"Our P&I Club and insurance cover no longer cover these ports," Jens Martin Jensen, chief executive officer of Frontline's management unit, said on a conference call on Feb. 17. "It's not a question of if we can make some money from doing it, we will not do it for that reason."
3.55 Million Barrels
China buys about 22 percent of Iran's oil exports, while Japan imports about 14 percent, the U.S. Department of Energy estimates. Iran produced 3.55 million barrels a day last month, about 4 percent of global output, according to Bloomberg estimates and the International Energy Agency.
China, the world's largest energy consumer, opposes trade restrictions against Iran and said oil sanctions aren't "constructive," the official Xinhua News Agency reported Jan. 26, citing comments from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Japan is nearing a deal with the U.S. to protect Japanese banks from sanctions in return for reducing imports of oil from Iran by 20 percent, the Nikkei newspaper reported yesterday.
The EU embargo still needs to be implemented by the European Commission, the 27-nation bloc's regulatory arm, before it becomes binding directly on companies. Pre-existing contracts are exempted until July 1.

Oyster Dressing
Each Thanksgiving and Christmas, our family would be treated to, among many fine dishes, dad's dressing. Now, this would be no ordinary dressing. This was a rich, full-bodied, pan of savory goodness that literally was a meal in itself. Originally created to use up leftover yeast rolls from our restaurant, dad would toss together whatever ingredients were around during the season: turkey, ham, giblets, shrimp, oysters, sausage, you name it. This year, I was tasked with giving dad a break and creating the dressing for Thanksgiving. This isn't the same…read more

Men's Basketball Signs Tiras Wade To National Letter Of Intent
Wednesday, April 25, 2001Johnson City, Tenn. -- The East Tennessee State University athletic department announced today that Tiras Wade has signed a National Letter of Intent to join head coach Ed DeChellis' basketball program for the 2001-02 season.
The Tampa, Fla. native, averaged 29.9 points and 8.2 rebounds per game last season. He was a two-year starter for head coach Adrian Johnson at Tampa Tech High School.
The 6-7 wing player earned All-State honors after his stellar senior season. He was a McDonald's All-America nominee and earned All-County honors.
"Tiras is a very skilled offensive player," DeChellis said. "He has the ability to play the two, three or four positions at ETSU. He provides versatility because of his size and athletic ability."

Step 1: Building It
Drill a hole for the stopper. The diameter will depend on the exact stopper you use – I used a 5/16 bit. Be careful drilling this as you can easily buckle the metal – I started with a small bit and worked slowly up, putting almost no pressure on the drill head. The hole needs to be as neat and round as possible.
Insert the water pistol stopper. And that's it. You are now prepared for any situation that demands a small, warm cocktail.
If only I could figure out a way to ice it...
Suggestion...Use one of those small cone paper cups like you have at the dentist. Stand it up in the mouth of the bottle vodka bottle and poor your drink it. It vaguely represents a martini glass and will really sell the joke at the end.
Freeze the gin, or well, as frozen as it will get ;) By the time you get to your destination, it should be about the right temperature.
But I guess having those small bottles and so on makes the process of mixing more enjoyable :) and therefor goes with the better show effect!
I do have a little tupperware thingie which is shot-sized. It would be perfect for a similar joke. Keep in fridge before you slip it in your purse ( I am a gal - guys you figure something out!) before going out. If you're lucky it will still be cool when you are drinking it! :D
It definitely is a curious ( in a good way!) idea!
I could think of no better reason to deploy one...aside from an injury resulting in swelling..
It is nice to find those who understand.
Thank you. And thank you for sharing your wonderful idea.
I'd love to see someone's face though as you break this out and begin mixing. It's definitely got the cool factor going for it.
BUT; bigger tin = more martini
but then I watched the video
and now I want to do this around my friends. Seriously, just whip out a tiny martini. I'd find a folding cup or some nonsense to rubber-band to the tin or something though xD
It isn't an Altoids tin!
nice job!

The Murder Mystery

|• Introduction
|• Lawyer Turned Detective
|• Elevating Pulp Fiction
"Then I did another not at all heroic thing. I turned on all the lights in the room, lighted a cigarette (we all like to pose a little now and then), and sat down on the bed to await my capture. I might have stalked my enemies through the dark house, and possibly have nabbed them; but most likely I would simply have succeeded in getting myself shot. And I don't like to be shot."
The 1920s are known as the Golden Age of the detective story. One of the singular accomplishments of the era was the invention of the "Hard Boiled" (or "Tough Guy") detective, a particularly American slant to the detective story, which was previously a largely British form. These stories and novels celebrated adventure, instinct, speed, the common, even vulgar, tongue, and a certain lawlessness. In many ways they were a reaction to the excessive materialism of the times, mirroring the public reaction to Prohibition and the simultaneous rise of the gangster as an American type. They also present an ambivalent reaction to the increasing urbanization of America. The city itself is often both the hero and the villain. Against both the gangster and the hero was the detective: Race Williams, Sam Spade, The Continental Op, Ned Beaumont, Nick and Nora Charles, and later, Philip Marlowe, Mickey Spillane, Lew Archer, V. I. Warshawski, and many others. These characters represent the same qualities and values that Lillian Hellman felt characterized possibly the greatest of them all, Dashiell Hammett.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DEEDEEWILLIS CHRISTMAS PRESENT 2011 THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL NECKLACE. I ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL PIECE. December 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by VictorianDoll Perfect for any jewelry lover Browsing through the online store, I was thrilled to see all of the awesome reviews for this necklace, and so I wanted to share my experience. I got this necklace four years ago as a high school graduation gift from my parents. Back then it was prettiest thing I've ever seen, and to this day the key motif remains very special to me. The design is so simple and minimalist, yet it stands out with the tiny sparkling diamonds and the rose gold heart accent. The design of this necklace makes it so easy to wear daily, as it can be dressed up or down. So far I haven't had any problems with the diamonds falling out or the chain breaking (knock on wood) but I also don't wear it every day and store it neatly in its original gift box when I'm not wearing it, which always helps to maintain the quality. I highly recommend this sweet necklace as a gift for a loved one, or possibly yourself. June 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Giantsfan Very pretty necklace! I bought this necklace for my wife and she absolutely loved it. The size is perfect. The quality is amazing. I highly recommend this as a gift for a very special lady. February 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sunflowerz Great Buy! I picked out this necklace as a gift from my boyfriend for Christmas. The "key" trend was just beginning and I really loved the symbolism of it. I received it and loved it because its simple, understated, yet is a beautiful piece. It sparkles and just is the perfect size. The only downside the chain did break a few months into wearing it but that wasn't a big deal considering any chain can replace it ... the actual pendant has held up wonderfully and shows no wear to it! July 27, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by sandyrdz Bestest Christmas Gift!!!! my hubby gave me this necklace for xmas & i absolutely fell in love with it!!!!! when i opened it i was so happy.. i couldnt stop smiling!!!! its so pretty! :) its the perfect size..& i've gotten so many compliments!!! i would so recommend this to anybody... especially *guys* looking for gifts for there gf's or wifeys!!!! thanks babe!!!! ilyj! <3 December 27, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Melis Perfect Christmas For our first christmas together, my boyfriends and mine, he gave me this key necklace. I was thrilled i had spotted it in a store and told him i liked it but thought nothing of it. I now wear it everyday to show how much i care about my necklace. Only after a bit ( around 7 months) my chain broke. I didn't get the warenty, so i had to pay. Then only 2 months later a diamond fell out. They replaced that for free, but only becuase it was still under a year. I recomend you get warenty on this necklace, other then that its a great gift to give to someone special! October 6, 2010

Fragile Innocence
She was hungry, she was weak, she was tired, and she knew when she saw light on the floor that food would be coming soon.
She scooted off the mat into what warmth the early sun provided through the blinds; her scamper creating a swirl of fine dust. She watched the free form of their movements—a glint here and there, always enchanted, splaying her fingers through their untouchable beauty.
But she feared the window.
She had tried to stretch her arm through the bars as far as it would go hoping someone on the street would notice and come help her. Someone did come, but not to help take her back home.
Her legs felt shaky, her bottom hurt, and her tummy grumbled so she hugged her knees real close. She closed her eyes and lifted her face into the light that was becoming a little brighter, and a little warmer. It made the inside of her lids a pretty color. She believed if she breathed in real deep, the light would fill her with its warm power and protect her somehow.
It was a tiny bit of comfort to a tiny bit of a heart.
They called her, Girl.
She never knew how long she would have to wait but it was the only constant in her life that didn't include a man. She was to call them Uncles.
Food, tea, a thorough scrub, and a studied inspection of her whole body came once a day from women—Aunties, to her. They paid special attention to the places where the Uncles played their games; they sponged water everywhere so not to waste it.
If she cried, the Aunties would grab her hair and yank her up on her toes and shake her head. She should appreciate the food, the mat, the tea. Uncles liked to play special games and a little girl was a part of those games. Uncles wanted pretty little faces and little bodies smooth and tender. Water was not easy to get, and she had tea, and a bath. The Uncles worked hard to pay for it all, just for her. How lucky she was!
Her heart started to beat fast. It hurt.
She heard soft steps coming up the stairs. Sometimes they were loud steps. She never saw the faces of those who brought her food but she recognized their feet, for she must always keep her eyes lowered in their presence. No one ever spoke.
She moaned quietly to her feet to greet the bearer of such luxuries as tea. Head bowed, hands folded, legs wobbly.
The knob rattled, the door swung easily on crooked hinges. Girl's heart beat faster. Her crumpled undergarment hung loose on a thin frame concealing its fragile innocence in the quiet light of hope.
A tray clanked on the floor and soft steps came within sight. She didn't recognize this Auntie's feet. A hand moved, Girl tensed . . . a flash of fear rushed through her chest. Auntie touched her exposed shoulder, "Little one?" Girl tried to breathe quietly and not flinch.
The Auntie bent down and looked up into Girl's eyes and smiled, "Soon, little one." she whispered, "Soon." then got up and hurried to the door. Girl dared to peek from under curious lashes. Auntie caught her glance and gestured not to speak—sad eyes meeting another. The crooked door slammed shut.
Girl wondered if it was another game.
She lifted her face and took in another deep breath of light.
Her throat ached.
She had learned to cry with no tears.

Love them!
My wife and I love these. We were almost Bummis cult members when there were only the velcro fasteners. Now we get nothing but super snaps. The way our son moves constantly made me worry about the velcro wearing out and coming undone. He can do anything in these and they stay closed. Fantastic!!!!

Best covers!!
I have used these covers on 3 babies, the first ones I got at a garage sale, and they are still in use. I so loved them that I have purchased several more and in each size. Thank you so much for a GREAT product!!

Going on 7 years
We bought six of these covers in December of 2005 and they have been in constant use since--four of mine and two of our friends. They are starting to wear out (finally) and I will be ordering more.

The best for us so far
We have tried many different kinds of cloth diaper systems since our daughter is allergic to the disposables and these are the best ones. They last and last and last and the best thing about them is that they don't soak up pee or anything so you can use them several times between washing them.

Favorite diaper covers ever!
These are THE most durable, long-lasting, great-fitting, amazing diaper covers ever. I seriously bought mine used from a lady who had used them on her five kids (all under 5 at the time) and they looked new except for wear on the tag. They lasted through two of my own kids and are finally starting to wear out. These covers lasted through SEVEN kids!!! Amazing! Bummis, PLEASE make this cover in prints before my next baby comes! I know I'll be buying more, I just really want them to be cute in addition to being practical.

Love it!!!
I absolutly think that the super snap covers are the BEST DIAPER COVERS EVER!They are made exatly like the SWW but without the velcro. I only wish they came in the same print as the SWW.
Do you want to review this Bummis product ?

The years of deadlines and bylines have come and gone – hard to imagine where the time went.
Looking back, the path I've traveled since I was asked to join the Refugio County Press staff in 1998 has been lined with professionals whose hard work inspired and energized me.
Three different owners have come and gone. Martha Lamson hired me and allowed me to write a column with Editor Vivian Tucker encouraging me along the way; David Holden sent me out into the county in 1999 to write the news; and Chip and Jeff Latcham asked me in 2003 to stay on as editor.
I've never regretted a minute of my time here. My love of journalism began long ago.
In high school, Fran Boenig surprised me with the RHS Journalism Award back when the Bobcat Blab was a wonderful little tabloid.
Of course, there was Sister Marion Walter at Our Lady of the Lake University who taught me the art of communication through the written word. Misspelled words or grammatical errors were an automatic "F."
When I was a kid growing up on Third Street, Grandad and Daddy had subscriptions to the Corpus Christi Caller and the Corpus Christi Times before the editions were combined.
Refugio County had several weeklies and newspapers were a staple at our house.
On Sundays, I'd grab the funnies to read my favorite comic strip, Brenda Starr, Reporter. Her glamorous, adventurous life awed me.
Her steamy romance with Basil St. John and the birth of their child, Starr Twinkle, were my first glimpses of a female who had it all – career, marriage, children – all the things I wanted when I grew up.
Along with an insatiable need to read, I think I wanted to write almost since the time I could talk. Whatever knowledge and understanding I gained of people was spurred by an eager curiosity.
The people I've met and written about touched me in the deepest way possible. The proud World War II vets are gone now, as is the young man on death row and the cowboys who would rather be in the saddle than eat. I remember each one – the sad quiver in a voice, the sparkle in an eye, the tears that wet a cheek.
In these last 15 years, I lost my beloved father and mother, Kenneth and Penny Herring, and my home of 32 years and, very nearly, my husband Ron.
Through pain and joy, the deadlines and bylines kept coming and the work kept me steady, strong and moving forward.
In 2011, when I was named the South Texas Press Association's Journalist of the Year, I was bowled over. I look at all the awards on my wall and I am humbled.
Too many people never receive recognition for their hard work, yet they soldier on, week after week, month after month and year after year.
I have been blessed to have been judged well by my peers in the business.
But, without new challenges, inspiration wilts and visions wane.
Last week, County Judge Rene Mascorro selected me to be the director of Elderly Services.
The latest figures from the Census Bureau released last month reveal that Refugio County has a crippling level of poverty among too many of its senior citizens.
Additional funding is needed to support the services currently offered to our seniors and new ones that will surely arise.
Writers are driven by a hunger to put their talent to the best use. A new challenge has been laid at my feet – it's a mission I cannot resist.
