Calm Downtown
There are contrasting elements that co-exist in Japanese culture: the speedy, high-tech world that inspired Blade Runner, and the earthier realm of ancient beliefs and arts. Lately, as a generation of video gamers can attest, we've become fascinated with the flash of the ultramodern. But has anyone appreciated time-honored traditions and delayed gratification?
Absolutely -- just visit the new Japanese Friendship Garden.
"In our fast-paced world, you can slow down in here," says Mark Lamm, special programs and facilities adviser for the Phoenix Department of Parks and Recreation.
Lamm explains that although the garden took the past year to construct, it was initially conceived in 1987 by Mayor Totani of Himeji, Phoenix's Sister City in Japan. Since the project started, a team of architects from Himeji made more than 60 trips to the Valley to plan the design.

The resulting labor of love was named Ro Ho En. Garden coordinator Reiko Yasui Reavis says the three characters mean "heron phoenix garden," conjuring Himeji's famous landmark, the majestic White Heron Castle, as well as Phoenix's namesake mythological bird.
Phoenix parks staff member Lani Auwen says the design is called a "hide-and-seek" garden. "Standing here, you cannot see all the elements -- you have to travel along and then discover each element of the garden," she says.
And there is much to discover: a stunning 10-foot-tall Kasuga-style lantern, a flowing stream that cascades into a koi pond that will soon be home to 200 brilliantly colored fish, a curved stone bridge, an authentic teahouse, and countless carefully selected rocks, plants and trees, all painstakingly positioned according to the vision of the Japanese planners. Experiencing the garden, it's clear that the long years of work were worth the wait. "You can feel the sense of peacefulness," says Lamm. "It's here, right in the middle of the city.

Skill Level Beginner
No matter which framework that you work with, it's unlikely you'll end up using the files exactly as they are. In some cases, you're going to want to combine multiple files together or even change the structure of existing files. Before using a framework, it's important to carefully examine how the files are structured, and how they work together so that you can be sure that they'll work properly within the scope of your project. So I am going to be working out in the 03_04 folder for this particular exercise. And really, what we're going to be doing here is modifying the Foundation framework to work kind of the way that I want to work with on my site.
So again, there is a lot of personal preferences involved here. And a lot of it has to do with the deployment strategy that I am going to use for this project. So, before we get into modifying the files, I want to first explain the deployment strategy I am going to be using. So the existing CSS files--I am going to expand this so you can see them--we have a minified version of the foundation.css, we have the foundation.css in an unminified version, which is a little easier to work with, and then we have sort of that blank app.css. So, what I am going to do is I'm not going to work with the minified version. I am going to work with the foundation.css, and then I am going to change the app.css which is really sort of a placeholder for people that build applications.
I am going to change that and do a CSS file that's titled custom.css. The idea behind that is anything that I need to write that is specific to the styling of this particular site or project, and anything that I need to write that's going to overwrite the CSS for Foundation, the Foundation styles, are going to go in this file, it's going to give me separation between the baseline Foundation styles and the styles that I write. That means that later on in the project, there is going to be no guessing about whether that was part of the core framework, or there was something that was added afterwards.
It's going to be very, very clear in terms of that distinction. It also means that if the Foundation framework is updated in say 6 months or whatnot, and there is a very important reason to update my version of it--say maybe they have added support for a new device that's come online, or increase the cross-browser compliancy of it--all I have to do is swap out that file with the new one, and I'm using the updated Foundation framework without having to worry about which selectors or styles have been overwritten. Now, the downside of that approach is that I will be making two calls out to the server for my CSS, one for the foundation.css and one for the custom.css.
And that's going to be an additional HTTP request. So it's a little bit more overhead. But from a maintenance and develop standpoint, it's a little bit easier. Again, that's one framework, and that's one deployment strategy. The framework that you might be working with might be different, your deployment strategy is going to be different. So make sure that when you're focusing on working with this that you are really thinking about the concept rather than the exact execution that we're going to be doing. So, I have the index.htm file open, and again, this is going to serve as our starter page. First thing I am going to do is I am just kind of clean this up a little bit so that I don't have all these empty spaces.
I could remove the comments, as a matter of fact that's probably something I would do, in the wild, but I am going to leave the comments in there because it's just really kind of nice to know what they're doing. I am going to change Welcome to Foundation to Welcome to Simple Primate. A little bit later on when we start actually working with these files and building out a site, we're going to be redoing portion of my simple primate site, so I maybe doing a little bit of a redesign here, and Foundation is going to help me with that. The nice thing I am going to do is choose to work on the foundation.css and not the minified version. And then to do that, I am going to delete the comments to sort of deactivate the link to the foundation.css, and then I am going to get rid of the link to the minified version.
Now, when I am actually going out and deploying this site, what I would do is after I work with this, I would then minify it, and on the site I would probably compress it. So, I am not saying don't minify your styles, I am just saying that they are a lot easier to work with when they are not minified. So, I will develop with the sort of expanded version of Foundation, and then at the end of the day I would minify it. app.css, I am going to change the name of this to something that's more reflective of what it is. I am going to change it to custom.css. I need to do that not only over here in my index.html, but I need to do it to the actual file name itself.
So, I am going to take the app.css and change its name to custom as well. Now, I am going to go ahead and open that up. And I notice that again it has a Table of Contents, it's got just some blank areas. And you can see by the fact that it has these places for pages that it's really more for applications than it is for anything else. Well, I am going to modify that. I am going to get rid of all the other comments, even the Artfully masterminded by ZURB, although I certainly do appreciate their work here. And I am just going to change Table of Contents to Custom Styles.
So, this is where all my custom styles are going to go. Anytime I need to do unique formatting to my site or anytime I need to overwrite any of the existing framework styling, it's going to go in here. I will close that out. And I am just going to keep going through my index file, and sort of get rid of some of these empty spaces. Another thing I am going to do is if I scroll down at the very bottom, I have got a lot of calls out to some of the JavaScript frameworks and libraries that Foundation uses, you will notice that it has a lot of these uncompressed one, the same way that they have uncompressed styles.
Uncompressed JavaScript is a little easier to write with and work with than the compressed version. Frankly, I am not really going to do a whole lot of modification of the JavaScript. I will pretty much just use what they have got. So I don't really need these. And I am going to go ahead and get rid of all those comments. It's taken up a lot of space, and they are not really doing anything for me. The next thing I am going to do is if I look inside, and really, anytime you're going to be using a framework, whether it's Foundation or any other framework, you should really carefully take a look at everything that's going on inside the framework. Now, even if you're somebody that's not a person that's very comfortable going in and working with something like JavaScript, and you just want to use what they have got, it's still useful for you to go in and scan it.
So I wanted to turn your attention to this app.js. If I go in the _scripts directory and actually open this up, it's a very small file, so it's pretty easy to read through. But one of the things that I'm always interested in when I look at a framework or any type of system that I'm going to be using, I will go in, and I will scan the comments, and I'll see if there are things that I want to modify or change, or maybe some functionality is turned off, and I want to turn back on. You will notice, for example, UNCOMMENT THE LINE YOU WANT BELOW IF YOU WANT IE8 SUPPORT AND ARE USING .block-grids. Well, there is a still a fair number of install base out there for Internet Explorer 8 and Block grids give you the ability to stack items one next to each other based on how many columns or stacks you want. This is actually a good thing.
I think this is something that I want. So I what I am going to do is I will highlight all of these, and I will just remove those comments. So those two little forward slashes just go ahead and move those, and then I will go ahead and save that. And now, we're basically turning on Internet Explorer 8 support for that feature since it's something that we plan on using. If I hadn't thought to actually go in and read through these scripts, I wouldn't have known that, that capability even existed. So, although the site documentation for a framework might be pretty good, and you might have a lot of stuff going on there, nothing really beats getting into the actual code itself, reading through the code, reading through the comments, and making sure that it's structured the right way, and that the functionality is all there that you want.
So I am going to say that, close it, and I'll save my index file. And this really does give us a nice starting point to start building our project right where I want to be. In terms of modifying framework files, how you do it is largely up to a couple of factors. Which framework you're going to choose, how the framework is structured, and how you like to work personally. The important thing to remember is that it's very unlikely that you're going to use a framework exactly the way it comes right out of the box. Pay careful attention to how the framework is put together so that you'll know exactly what to modify for your own projects.

Who do you support then boomers? Come on tell us then we can take the #$%$ out of your team. If your a wednesdayite then we dont want ya so #$%$ off. We deserve to be up there with the best. We will bounce back next season when we have a fully fit squad and we can rip the other championship teams apart with frannie jeffers and sodje and the rest of the team showing that wednesday really do have the team to rise up the table. We have struggled with long term injuries to our best players and yes we struggled but how many teams would have crumbled completely and gone straight down. mmmmm we showed great character and commitment to play the way we did to stay up and Brian Laws did a great job under very difficult circumstances on and off the pitch. ROLL ON NEXT SEASON!!!!!
how can teams like derby get investors to pay off 25m debt and a huge transfer kitty and we cant. we are a much bigger club and have alot more potential. so someone please get your cheque book out and save us

This club belongs where they are. I have been supporting the Owls for forty years. I am fed up in the past 10 years of watching #$%$ We can not live in the past or expect to be up with the big boys because we once was. Believe me what i see week in week out is a club going no where. Allen showed what he thought of the prospects and walks out.. and that is the Chairman! I am afraid that i will be following him soon. Thank God the blunts are not yet performing but they can buy there way out with the parachute money. We are going nowhere. I rate Laws but not due to him the only way is down.I am going to say good bye Sod it the blunts have bigger crowds and a much better team. Barnsley are the best team in South yorkshire and have more chance of success then any other team. Role on the end of the season and i can kiss my beloved Wednsday good bye and get my life back.

in reply to the last idiot who posted, WHO do you support and what gives YOU the authority to say that a club steeped in such history as sheffield wednesday should be where we are now.
we are only there due to mismanagement of our beloved club.

Bad business management is the problem - nothing new for the club.
We had crowds 80% of the Prem would cry for while in the "3rd" division and the loyalty of the fans is legondary - we bleed blue from birth - just like pompey fans. Problem is, all that gate money doesn't go to putting the right players on the pitch to get us back to the top - it goes to paying off the last attack of stupidity and resulting debt - of course we did the same thing in the 70s, 80s and 90s which is why we yoyo.
The current Boss has a similar style to those who've dug us out of the pile before, so I think we can stay up and then move on over the next few seasons. But when we do get back where we belong, I hope that someone with a football and a business brain is controlling the board. Failing that I'll settle for deep pockets.
Good luck with the rest of the season - I think we'll both need it.

What is wrong at Hillsborough. Season aftyer season we struggle against relegation (except promotion to the championship of course - and beatinbg United!). We have an exceptional number of injuries. Is there something wrong with the training programmes in use or are the players just not fit enough? The training programmes must be risky if Brian laws is saying he daren't train players in case they pick up any more injuries!

Monday, February 1, 2016
Kitchin Departs as The Blaze CEO. In a company-wide email, Kraig Kitchin describes the reason for his exit as chief executive officer of Glenn Beck's The Blaze is owing to outside business obligations. He writes, "The Blaze deserves and needs an exclusively focused leader. That is something I cannot provide, given existing commitments I choose to honor." The co-founder and former chief operating officer of Premiere Radio Networks says he is not leaving The Blaze. "I will stay, working every day as the interim head of sales with a focus on finding the right person for that position, assisting in the transition, on advertiser growth, program development, and industry relations." In a separate email, Beck remarks, "I know much of what has happened since December 2014 has been structural and behind the curtain. We were a company swimming in debt. With the hard work of Kraig, [Beck advisor and president of Beck's Mercury Radio Arts] Jonathan Schreiber, and now [chief financial officer Misty Kawecki], we will be debt-free by summer. This is miraculous and takes all of the downward pressure off of us." Kitchin's replacement, digital startup entrepreneur Stewart Padveen, joined Beck's company last summer; he will be the fourth leader of The Blaze since late-2014. Kitchin took over operations of Beck's subscription digital and cable television operation last June. Also stepping down, according to The Daily Beast, are director of advertising sales Jeremy Price, and director of marketing Liz Julis.

Henner Among hivio Highlights. To punctuate his point of the "power of audio," Mark Ramsey Media president Mark Ramsey played several seconds of the unmistakable bumper from Jerry Seinfeld's sitcom "Seinfeld," which debuted in May 1990. It had its last telecast just over eight years later (September 1998) – thus has been in syndication longer than its original NBC primetime run. That and classic clips from Orson Welles' legendary "War of the Worlds" (including how purposeful "dead-air" is a potent way of using audio) were cleverly woven in by Ramsey yesterday (Thursday, 6/4) in his scene-setting opening remarks of hivio 2015, the two-day Los Angeles confab focusing on compelling content in a world of limitless distribution. Eight segments – including three 30-minute presentations – followed Ramsey's 20-minute introduction in a fast-paced four-hour seminar at Hollywood's landmark comedy venue, the Improv. One of those eight segments was a one-on-one interview Ramsey conducted with Marilu Henner, in which the author, sitcom actress ("Taxi," "Evening Shade"), "Celebrity Apprentice" participant, Food Network host, and memory expert discussed her daily radio project. Downplaying her celebrity status, Henner insists she is just "a neighborhood girl from Chicago" and in many ways simply "the girl next door." Enamored with radio's spontaneity, she states she is "a very auditory person" and that has "always been" her passion. This past May 13 commemorated the one-year anniversary of the radio show fronted by effervescent Los Angeles-based Henner. The daily talk entity is executive-produced by Sun Broadcast Group, which handles affiliations and national sales as well; Genesis Communications Network provides satellite delivery and streaming audio for the show. Unique in today's talk radio landscape on multiple levels, the three-hour (9:00 am – noon PT) project is female-targeted (rather than geared to angry, white men); it is non-political; and the host, while still relatively new to radio, has amassed sterling accolades on several entertainment platforms. In other words, Henner is anything but a one-trick pony. Perhaps the greatest surprise she encountered in the first year of doing the radio program is the extent of her love of it. "I knew I would like it a lot but I am really passionate about it," she stresses. "I feel like people are letting me into a very 'cool-kids' club." Missing from Henner's daily radio program though is a political concentration because, "That's not what I am here to do," she points out. "I love to talk with celebrities, do lifestyle things, and play 'Defend Your Gender.' I try to stay away from politics and religion." Each of her programs features as many as seven guests and Henner actually enjoys doing the copious associated daily research. "I can always find that little nugget from their past or a connection I might have with them," she boasts. Some of her peers might be afraid to do a daily radio show because, as Henner opines, "They feel it is a lot of work and takes a lot of energy. It is hard work and you have got to love it." Paramount in her role as a host is to be a good listener, especially given that "things happen so quickly and you don't want to miss" anything important. Recalling what she stated as a keynote speaker at last month's NAB, Henner says, "Of all the great things I love to do in my life, radio is the best of all of it. It has the immediate feel of a live performance; the personal expression of writing a book; the storytelling of a movie; global reach of a long-running sitcom; and it is like opening night on Broadway – every single day. This is what I get to do." Each morning, she wakes up wondering how she "can make my show better" and as soon as she gets off the air, she maintains that she cannot wait until the next day's broadcast. One of the best pieces of advice Henner has received so far came courtesy of veteran talk host Dick Cavett, who suggests she view on-air discussions with guests as "conversations" rather than "interviews." Another popular talk host's name was invoked when Henner mentioned her fond admiration for David Letterman. "I did his show many times and he was very good at 'riding the wave,'" she remarks. "He might have had questions [prepared for him] but being able to be "in the moment" made him such a genius. He did not let anything slide." Henner's candor in Thursday's 20-minute hivio conversation with Ramsey is consistent with her radio persona. "I had a baby on national television, so I have no secrets," she proclaims. "You can ask me anything; I will talk about anything; and I will remember anything. I am genuinely interested in people." Her unique memory capabilities have been frequently chronicled, including several times on "60 Minutes" and Henner comments, "Developing a stronger autobiographical memory is really your [best] line of defense against meaninglessness that you have. You can figure out what is from your past; how to bring it to your present; and how you can inform a better future. Everything you have been through is already on your emotional hard drive. Whether or not you acknowledge it, it's making you behave in certain ways." Anticipating there is "a whole new frontier" for her, Henner declares she, "loves radio," and moreover, she is "obsessed" with it. Also featured on Thursday's agenda were similar one-on-one Ramsey-conducted discussions with Scott Baker of The Blaze; Mike Schneider of TV Guide; Jake Shapiro of PRX; and Richard Laermer of RLM PR; hivio 2015 concludes later today (Friday, 6/5) with another four-hour block at the Improv.
I Want to Be a Part of it, New York, New York. Radio consultant Holland Cooke is gearing up for next Friday's Talkers New York 2015 conference at the India House Club in Manhattan's Financial District and he has some thoughts about how to maximize your trip to New York, from a professional standpoint. Take it from an intrepid radio pro, there are smart ways to get the most out of industry events such as this one. Cooke says, ""Reach out NOW to those you'd like to tag-up in New York, and schedule some face time. If it's only a latte at that Starbucks diagonally across from India House, you'll have a more meaningful conversation than ad hoc in the din within.

Howie Carr to Return to WRKO, Boston. As Entercom puts it – "one of the more public divorces in Boston media history turns out to have been just a trial separation" – as Howie Carr resumes his talk radio career on the company's WRKO effective March 16 hosting the afternoon drive show from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm and replacing interim host Mike Siegel. After exiting WRKO at the end of December, the Howie Carr show was heard on Blackstrap-owned WMEX, Boston. Entercom Boston VP and market manager Phil Zachary comments, "As the weeks passed, it became obvious to me that WRKO and Howie belong together. It's that quirky relationship that everyone says will never last but ends up enduring longer than most because both partners enhance the other's strengths and talents." Carr began his radio talk career on WRKO in 1994 and it is now syndicated via his own Howie Carr Radio Network (HCRN) throughout the Northeast. According to TALKERS publisher Michael Harrison, "Howie Carr is one of the most potent local hosts in talk radio today bringing an extremely loyal and active listenership with him no matter what station he's on. He is so popular in New England that his appeal has spread from the Hub [Boston] to almost 20 major stations across the six-state region making his network a model example of regional syndication. There is no question, however, that Howie Carr and the legendary WRKO are a natural fit – I am so pleased to see they've worked out their differences." Howie Carr and his dynamic wife Kathy Carr, who serves as VP of sales and marketing for HCRN and is one of the chief architects of his network, will be among the 65 speakers appearing at the forthcoming Talkers New York 2015 on Friday, June 12.
The Artist's Secret: The Force that Guides Successful Radio Personalities. Talk radio consultant and TALKERS contributor Bill McMahon says that in his 25-plus years of coaching talent, he has discovered a force common to successful radio personalities, as well as all outstanding artists. He calls it "The Artist's Secret" and it consists of three basic elements: 1) instinctive reactions – the inspiration for their ideas which come from inside; 2) audience of one – their focus on pleasing themselves, first and foremost; and 3) "I matter" – the belief that what they think and do actually can make a difference. In an advice piece posted today (3/9) in TALKERS, McMahon cites three (of many) examples he's collected of well-known creative figures and shows how they embody these principles. They include controversial actor/film maker, Mel Gibson; the genius behind Pixar's success, John Lasseter; and radio icon, Howard Stern. To read McMahon's piece, please click here.

I am truly grateful that we remain friends and am very excited to see what they do next." CNN reports that TheBlaze has been working to get carriage on the nation's largest cable and TV systems but have not been able to secure deals with Comcast (the largest cable operator) or DirecTV (the top satellite provider).
Cooke: Weekend Call Screener Tips. Media consultant Holland Cooke provides this quick primer for call screeners to weekend talk shows. Among some of the advice included are:
"Prepping callers before they go to the host on-air is real important. Not-doing-so is where lots of shows drop the ball on the one yard line."; "Our goal is to keep…listeners…listening…by coming-to-the-point, at-the-speed-of-life. So help the caller boil-it-down to an opening statement that communicates his/her point succinctly." And there's much more advice that is crucial for weekend call screeners helping to improve the show. You can either read more here, or view the video in the Talkers TV screen on the upper right-hand side of this main page at Talkers.com.

Ralph Barbieri Sues KNBR, San Francisco. Longtime San Francisco sports talk host Ralph Barbieri is suing Cumulus Media's sports talk outlet KNBR claiming the station fired him in April based on his age and disabilities. Barbieri's attorney tells the San Francisco Chronicle station officials told Barbieri he was being let go for coming to work late and not preparing. Barbieri had co-hosted the PM drive show with Tom Tolbert since 1996 as "The Razor and Mr. T" and attorney Angela Alioto says, "If you look at the ratings, Mr. Barbieri and Mr. Tolbert were number one or two until the day he was terminated. The fact is, before they knew he was sick, those excuses didn't exist – and they renewed his contract." In late 2011, Barbieri announced he's been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and the station renewed his contract a month later. Barbieri, who is seeking $10 million in damages, went on crosstown sports talk outlet KGMZ-FM to explain the suit and said Cumulus market manager Bill Bungeroth and OM Lee Hammer expressed to him he sounded tired on the air and chastised him for having to use the restroom often because of his medications. He says he was also criticized for being late because of medical appointments. The Chronicle reports Cumulus Media has not responded to requests for comment.
Glenn Beck Merges GBTV Under "The Blaze" Banner. Premiere Networks nationally syndicated talk radio star Glenn Beck has been operating two of his pioneering digital initiatives – The Blaze website and internet video station GBTV – under separate names. Now, Beck is moving GBTV and the new Marketplace by Markdown, under The Blaze umbrella. He states in an interview with CNN, "I didn't like the name GBTV from the very beginning for a couple of reasons; one, it's a little egocentric, and two, it's television, which doesn't describe necessarily what we do." So Beck is merging the three properties in to what he calls "a world-class multimedia network" – The Blaze. Asked about Beck's move by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, TALKERS publisher Michael Harrison states, "There are cases in which a personal name becomes a platform brand –such as Trump, Forbes and Ford – and they worked out well. But NBC wasn't named Sarnoff, CBS wasn't named Paley and Playboy wasn't named Hefner. I think Beck is refining his approach to continuing his successful journey as a 21st century media pioneer."
Dave Ramsey Jumps to News/Talk KRLD, Dallas. Nationally syndicated financial talk sensation Dave Ramsey is now heard on CBS Radio's news/talk KRLD, Dallas from 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm nightly.

Hey everyone, I'm up on GiveGetWin today: 1-on-1 Productivity and Asset Maximization Session With Sebastian Marshall
Some of the stuff you'll be getting --
You're going to learn...
- Why aren't you getting stuff done? The biological basis of unfinished tasks
- How to break bad habits
- How to start your day in a productive and goal-oriented way by building a dashboard
- How to stay on track with your priorities
- High-tech & low-tech tools to increase your productivity
- How to build a contact database and always find the right people to get your job done (and get started right during the training session with Sebastian)
- How to build max out assets from projects and explode your portfolio: learn to make a completed project much more valuable. It's a stepping stone on the way up, not just one more thing checked off your todo list.
- Personalized, hands-on 'getting-it-started' including...
--> Get your own dashboard started for your production
--> Get your contact database built and running
--> Stay on track of your goals and priorities by setting some clear metrics
--> Get a customized version of a post-project debrief to get thank-you letters, referrals, and testimonials
--> And whatever else you want some hands-on help with. Sebastian will bring a tight value-packed agenda, and is also committed to helping you reach your productivity goals.
Now, go check out GGW and go grab a hands-on training session with me. Even before it was announced, one particularly hawk-eyed GGWer already grabbed one of the four slots... so, don't delay and I look forward to connecting with you.
Sebastian, are you familiar with the treadmill+Anki meme?
This is very much the same feeling I have. I got a lot of value out of Ikigai which is why I follow this blog.
However when he starts listing the book itself as one of his "achievements", starts posting about penny pinching and selling his time for $40/hr I am starting to wonder if maybe his best talent is marketing.
Perhaps there is a middle ground between cynic and follower here. Blog readers need not be acolytes or worshippers of the writer to like the writing. I do agree it would be nice to see more about the charity.
I agree. I find he has a unique voice and many cool insights, and that's why I follow him. Hating on him for slight flaws (if you can even call them that) is only going to be neurosis-inducing for him and so distract from the objective of getting Sebastian to keep giving us more value-added reading.
Seriously, compare this blog to anything you might read about personal development in a newspaper or see on TV and you'll see that it's like comparing the Stone Age to the 21th century.
Very rough, very unfinished --
We'll 90% likely work on implementation/execution through the Zorig Foundation --
Met their executive director in Ulaanbaatar last time, and they have quite high integrity, a good track record, low corruption, and good relationship with the international community. It was a State Department officer that introduced us to Zorig.
I appreciate your skepticism here. Disclosure in my own life is my own prerogative, but a nonprofit / charitable endeavor exists in the public and must have accountability and trust in public. If you or anyone have any thoughts on transparency and results in the nonprofit world, please email me any time.
"Some people have no idea what they're doing, and a lot of them are really good at it."
― George Carlin
The value I get from this blog vs the time I spend reading is just ridiculous.
Would I want to know more about Sebastian's projects? Yes. Is it crucial for me to keep enjoying this blog? No.
Just my two cents :)
I'm a George Carlin fan too. Good quote.
A few points:
*The script on the Zorig Foundation is actually Mongolian, not Russian. Mongolia switched from their tradition alphabet to cyrillic after allying with Russia some time back.
*My understanding is that the Zorig Foundation is generally regarded as one of the most trustworthy, effective, and largest in Mongolia.
Charlie Montgomery, the Environment / Science / Health / Tech officer for the U.S. Embassy to Mongolia recommended Zorig. I met their executive director, Badruun. I believe in what they're doing, they're exceptional, capable, and ethical people.
*In real estate, we got master leases on apartments, furnished them, added serviced qualities, hooked up internet, utilities, etc, and got between a 17% and 70% monthly premium in prices over the rents + operating costs + amortized costs (of furnishings, appliances, etc). 17% range was for long-term rentals, 70% for operating on a short-term basis. I'm happy to discuss it with anyone in real estate.
*I'm not a hot-shot, don't make a lot of money by entrepreneurial standards. I do alright for myself and really enjoy my life and adventures, the stuff I get to do, etc, but you should only listen to what I have to say if it's interesting for you and enriching your life.
*Good catch on the Ulaanbaatar point. Website isn't a high priority, but yeah that's an error. Thanks for pointing it out.
The Internal Scorecard
I think there's a tremendous amount of misconceptions regarding achievement, productivity, creativity, ambition, work, work rate, work ethic, and so on.
So I'm thinking of publishing some analysis weekly with examples of what happened in the week, successes and failures, noteworthy events, what I'm reading and listening to, and so on. If it goes well, I can give you a picture of a workweek for me, intermix tactics and techniques, and give you practical guidance about what's working well and what isn't.
I've written before about our challenges using Basecamp as we grow. To me, Basecamp is akin to Democracy: It's not great, but it's the best thing out there. (If anyone knows of better project management solutions, please post them as comments on the other thread -- Basecamp is getting very long in the tooth and while I'm hoping for a significant overhaul, I'd switch to something else if I could find another solution that addressed our pain points, as 37 Signals hasn't given any indication that one is coming.)
In response to a comment on that post, I'm posting below the "How To Basecamp" guide we've created for our employees. This guide was created by Christine, our Wordsmithstress at Socialize, so thank you Christine for putting this together.
Note: there are some videos & screenshots in the internal document we use that are private and aren't in here. I've done my best to replace them with blurred out versions.

Note: there are some videos & screenshots in the internal document we use that are private and aren't in here. I've done my best to replace them with blurred out versions. About Basecamp: Basecamp is a project management tool created by 37signals that creates an accessible digital trail that email can't. There's a bit of a learning curve with Basecamp, but you'll soon get comfortable with the system the more you use it. Once you've made an account, to access Basecamp, you can login at http://[your_domain_here].basecamphq.com. We recommend that you bookmark your to-do page (and choose the timeframe,this week, today, in the past, etc.,that works the best for you). With that bookmark, you'll always enter Basecamp through the view that's most important to you: all the tasks you have to do! Keep in mind that Basecamp will remember your navigation. What does that mean? Well, if you were previously looking at Christine's to-do's for the week, the next time you click on "To-Dos" on the Basecamp navbar, you'll see Christine's to-do's. You can navigate out of this view by changing the parameters in the right hand corner. Keep in mind that Basecamp will also remember your navigation through projects. To switch out of a certain project, you can click on "Switch to a different project" to change project views or head back to the dashboard to shake it clean (y'know, like an Etch A Sketch). Organization: Sometimes the terminology can be a bit confusing. Here's a rundown of Basecamp's different levels of organization. Dashboard: The bird's-eye view of Basecamp. From here you can see what everyone is working on and access a list of projects you're privy to (right-hand column). Keep in mind that your activity will show up on the dashboard view, so people will be able to see your comments and such. Projects: Sometimes pertaining to a specific department, projects are a high-level view of the big columns that prop up Socialize, Inc. Since these often coincide with the organization of the company itself, they should be created sparingly,think of projects as very broad and large-scale. Milestones (now part of the 'Calendar' tab): A mid-level view of department goals. These are what we'd call "projects" outside of the Basecamp world. For example, an in-house Socialized app launch would be a milestone. Every milestone should have a due-date and an owner, even if the due-date is an arbitrary date two years out. To-Do Lists ("Buckets"): A lower level view that breaks down what needs to happen in order for us to reach our milestones. If we're launching the Socialized app, one bucket could be "Generate Buzz." To-Dos (these live inside the To-Do List buckets): The micro view, all the little steps you need to accomplish on a (usually) day-to-day basis. A to-do can only be assigned to one person as a time. Under the bucket "Generate Buzz," we might task Jeremia with demo-ing our Socialized app at a tech schmoozing event. To-Do's 101 To-do's are the building blocks of Basecamp's project management system,these are your day-to-day tasks. If you would like someone else to take on a task, you must create a to-do for them. The task creator is responsible for making sure the task is created properly. The to-do must fulfill the three following requirements: (1) it is a separate to-do (not a comment in another to-do/task), (2) it has an owner (the person responsible for accomplishing the task), and (3) it has a due date. If you task someone in a comment thread of anothe rto-do, they will not be able to find this task under their to-do list. Create a separate to-do (and even link the original conversation) so that they can easily find the task. To create a to-do, you must be within the desired project. From the dashboard, find the appropriate parent project. From this page you can either add a to-do to an existing to-do list or create a new list as the to-do's home. Sometimes, a task is ongoing and has no real due date. In this case, the task can become a to-do list or it can be labeled as ongoing (e.g. "[O]" as a type of recognizable nomenclature). Try not to use the messages functionality, as for some reason Basecamp implemented messages in a way that doesn't allow people to be added/removed in later comment threads-- very annlying. Ideally, you want to-do's to be both measurable and actionable. Meaning that it's hard to measure the success and endpoint of a to-do like "comment on blogs",a more quantitative to-do would read "comment on 5 blogs" and be dated for a week away. It's possible to hack the system a little bit. Basecamp is great for managing various deadlines and tasks, but sometimes you want a repository for suggestions or ideas. 37signals offers other tools for this purpose (like Campfire), but you can manipulate Basecamp for this purpose as well. Create and designate a to-do list for messages and ideas. As these items become actionable, they can be dragged into a different list to become real to-do's with owners and dates. Tl;dr? Here's the basic gist: 1. Task creators are responsible for assigning the to-do on Basecamp. 2. Don't task someone in a comment. 3. All to-do's need a owner and a date. 4. Don't use the messages functionality. Searching It can be hard to search on Basecamp, and there's no advanced search option/filters either. This video is an overview of searching (spoiler alert: use shortcut Cmd+F to help you find the keyword in question).We suggest searching through projects (rather than across all of Basecamp) to narrow down your scope. And, you know, you can always admit defeat and just search through your email as well since Basecamp will always email you when you've been tasked or included in a comment. Tips and Tricks If you're using Google Apps, add their Google ShortLink Labs feature so you can make short links (e.g. "go.getsocialize.com/mother" to access The Mother) to frequently used Basecamp buckets, to-dos, etc. "Tag" a bucket or to-do with unique keywords to facilitate searching. For example, tag a website-related task with "Charlotte" (get it,Charlotte's Web?) so that you can search for that keyword rather than the ubiquitous "website." When something is marked "private" in Basecamp it means that it's private to your company (i.e. ALL of Socialize, Inc. employees). It does NOT mean it is private to only the people active/included in the bucket list. Tired of checking off 5 people's names every time you make a new comment on a task? Create an email distro list for that team and grant Basecamp access to that email address. Keep in mind, though, that tasks should be assigned to individuals and never to a distro list. FAQs If a milestone has a due date, then does every task also need to have a due date? Or if a task doesn't have a due date, but is in a task list that has a related milestone, do we just assume the corresponding task is due when the milestone is due? Every task needs a due date. Why? Tasks are the little steps we take to reach a specific milestone. Sometimes, tasks need to be completed in a certain order. Because Basecamp offers several levels of organization, you may see or access the task without seeing the milestone due date. Adding that due date will ensure that you can keep yourself accountable to getting the task done on time. Do you have other tips on "How To Baescamp?" Please post them as comments below. I'm especially interested in any 3rd party services that address some of the main pain points we've been having.

Personal attention to constituentsAugust 06,2014I wanted to pass along my thoughts on Herb Russell, state representative for city of Rutland. I met him recently at my stepdads funeral and was so impressed by the things hes done for the city but most especially for the personal contact he maintained with my stepdad, Norman Dean, and my mom, Anja Ahti Dean of Rutland. Norm was a World War II veteran and passed away at the age of 94 on June 27. He and my mom were married 33 years and lived on Dorr Drive and somehow became acquainted with Herb a few years ago. Herb has been stopping in to check on them from time to time, and during the tropical storm, Irene, when my parents home was flooded, he went out of his way to make sure they got what they needed to return to their home. He has also helped my 81-year-old mother, Anja, get medical services in some difficult circumstances. He has stopped by the house to check on my mom since her loss of Norman, and this means a lot to her and all of us in her family since we are all located quite far from Rutland.
In my opinion, if more of our elected officials were to make this kind of direct contact and take direct actions to help the people they represent, this country would be stronger, safer, healthier and happier.

WOMEN'S SOCCER: Utah State University women's head soccer coach Heather Cairns announced the 2012 soccer schedule on Tuesday. The Aggies will play a total of 19 matches in 2012, including one against a team that competed in the 2011 Women's College Cup.
The Aggies will hold one exhibition match prior to the start of the season, hosting Southern Utah on Aug. 11 at 2 p.m. For the fourth-straight season Utah State will play a match at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah, home of Major League Soccer's Real Salt Lake squad. USU is 3-0 at its unofficial home away from home going 2-0 against Weber State and 1-0 against Utah. This season, the Aggies will take on Utah on Aug. 17. The Utes will be the host squad for this match. Last season, the Aggies used a Shantel Flanary goal to propel them over Weber State, 1-0.
Utah State will play its first match at the friendly confines of Chuck and Gloria Bell Soccer Field on Aug. 19 against former Western Athletic squad, UTEP. The Miners are one of 12 schools that USU will play this season that either have been or are currently members of the WAC. This will be the first meeting between the Aggies and the Miners since Utah State beat UTEP, 2-0, in 2008.
Following the single match at home, Utah State will travel to Omaha, Neb., to take on Creighton on Aug. 24 and Nebraska-Omaha on Aug. 26. The Aggies will round out the first month of the season, facing the first of three teams from the Big Sky Conference when USU hosts Northern Colorado on Aug. 31.
The Aggies open the second month of the schedule with a season-long three-match road trip that begins at Utah Valley on Sept. 2. The blue and white will then play a pair of matches in Portland, Ore. USU takes on the Big Sky's Eastern Washington on Sept. 7 for the first time since 2007. The Aggies round out the road trip against another Big Sky foe Portland State on Sept. 9.
USU will then return home for a trio of difficult home matches, beginning against Washington on Sept. 13. This is only the second meeting between the Aggies and the Huskies with UW beating USU in 2009. The Aggies will then take on in-state rival BYU in Logan on Sept. 20. Utah State rounds out the home trip against Wyoming on Sept. 23 to end non-conference action.
The Aggies will open their eighth season in the WAC on the road in Las Cruces, N.M. against New Mexico State. USU is the reigning WAC regular season and tournament champions. Utah State will conclude the month of September in Denver, Colo., against new WAC member Denver on Sept. 30. The two teams have met twice with both teams capturing one win. They have not met since the 1998 season.
USU returns home to host new WAC members UTSA (University Texas at San Antonio) on Oct. 5. The Aggies then take on Texas State, another new WAC member, on Oct. 7. The Aggies are 1-0-1 all-time against the Bobcats, last meeting in 2008. Texas State advanced to the 2011 Women's College Cup. Utah State hits the road on Oct. 12 to face, taking on Seattle. The Redhawks are the last of four new WAC teams that the Aggies will take on this season. USU ends the road trip on Oct. 14 against Idaho.
Utah State will close out the regular season with a pair of home matches. The Aggies will take on San Jose State on Oct. 19 and end the regular season against Louisiana Tech on Oct. 26.
For the first time since Utah State joined the WAC in 2006, the WAC Soccer Tournament will be held in Logan, Utah, Oct. 31-Nov. 4. Last season, the Aggies won their first WAC Tournament.
USU returns seven starters and 18 letterwinners from last year's squad that ended a historical season with a 15-5-2 record. USU finished with a 5-1-1 WAC record en route to their third WAC regular-season title in four years. Utah State also won its first WAC Tournament title and advanced to its first NCAA Tournament. Leading the Aggies next year will be two-time WAC Defensive Player of the Year, Natalie Norris. Offensively, midfielder Kendra Pemberton is the top returning scorer, ending last season with seven goals and nine assists for 23 points.

The elderly couple found dead after fire gutted their home Sunday probably succumbed to smoke as they tried to escape from their basement living quarters, officials conclude.
When Sam and Barbara Garland died, however, and what sparked the fire are facts likely lost in the rubble of the house packed so completely with clutter — the product of Barbara's hoarding habit — that even its kitchen was out of use.
As winter settled in, Sam, 79, told neighbors around 206 Cottage Grove Avenue that he had bought a space heater.
"But he didn't know where he could plug it in" amidst the junk Barbara, 75, had amassed, Pekin Fire Department Assistant Chief Brian Cox said Monday.
Firefighters concluded the fire likely started in the front area of the basement where the couple slept and ate from a "kitchenette," Cox said.
More than 12 hours after neighbors reported the fire, the body of Sam Garland was found at 9 p.m. Sunday, just several feet away from that of his wife. She was found about three hours earlier near the foot of the home's basement stairwell.
"I have no doubt in my mind they were trying to escape," Cox said.
Autopsies conducted Monday were expected to determine the two died of smoke inhalation.
Their deaths may have come hours before the fire was discovered. Cox said residents smelled smoke in the central Pekin neighborhood Saturday night. Not until nearly 8:30 a.m., however, did smoke begin to billow from the small one-story brick ranch home.
By then, the combination of heat, smoke and virtual walls of junk that met them at the home's doors made firefighters' rescue efforts "impossible," Cox said.
The home's main floor and ceiling had collapsed in flames — sending tons of debris into the basement — before the blaze was doused. A backhoe was used to raze the structure and, with floodlights into the night, scoop its remains away in search of the victims.
Throughout Monday morning a half-dozen dumpsters hauled away the Garlands' home and the tons of junk that the couple's granddaughter said Barbara had spent years hoarding, sure that one day she'd sell it all and become rich.
"Everything you might have in a home, there were 20 in there," Cox said. Little if any of it looked valuable, he said.
But it wasn't an unusual find for the firefighters. Several times over the past few years they've been called to check the welfare of elderly Pekin residents in homes jammed with hoarded junk, Cox said.
Hoarding is a behavior now under medical study as a product or symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder. It appears among 2 to 5 percent of adults, typically the elderly, according to research from the May Clinic.
Page 2 of 2 - Cox said hoarding is a major fire hazard that can cause or rapidly contribute to a blaze and — as was the case Sunday — severely restrict their rescue and firefighting efforts.

My friend's mother passed away in early December and we are seeking a home for her two cats. Casey is a sweet calico, domestic shorthair about 14 years old. Pudge is a shy grey, domestic longhair about 15 years old. We would love to keep them together if at all possible. You can view these cuties here: http://imgur.com/a/d8IiZ Both cats are safely at a shelter, but we are looking to place them as soon as possible. We will gladly cover all adoption fees.

(Sorry, I originally posted this in the "Your WordPress" forum, and then realized that this would be a better place for it...)
First off, I'd appreciate if you looked at my site in either FF or Opera and then in IE. maybetwice.com/0709
I am using a fairly well modified version of the default theme for wordpress. The site looks generally what I want it to look like (text colors all around could probably use some refining) in FF and Opera, with the sidebar looking pretty much right. However, in IE the sidebar gets pushed to the bottom of the page. The column still is horizontally aligned in the correct place, but I cannot figure out a way to get it to display the same way in IE as it does in FF.
To save you the hassle of having to look (you may have to anyway) here is what I would THINK is the source of the problem in my style.css:
padding: 0;
top: -150px;
width: 200px;
I believe that IE probably doesn't treat position: relative quite the way that I'm expecting it to...

More Dead Space 3 Images Revealed, Showing John Carver, Dual-Wielding and a Beard
Written Thursday, May 31, 2012 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
A drop has turned into a trickle. More Dead Space 3 images have leaked, apparently from the official site, showing the action horror game errr, in action.
The images feature Isaac Clarke and the subject of the recently revealed motion comic, John Carver. That the character has been fleshed out via that animated video would seem to discredit the rumour that Isaac will be accompanied by a alter-ego representing his fractured, failing mental state. Possibly.
Drop-in, drop-out co-op, another of the rumours, would appear to be all but confirmed.
In addition to this, the images also show a new mutated necromorph, a nastly looking thing that looks like two people mushed into one. We also get a glimpse of Clarke with his helmet off, sporting a rather dashing beard and dual-wielding. Dual-wielding! [Edit: Or, erm, piloting a ship. Damn our knackered eyes]
Have we mentioned E3 is next week, 'cos it totally is! Expect more then.

The Bump Baby Registry

Are there foods that increase milk supply?
Many cultures have specific foods or dishes that they believe will help a mother increase her milk supply. Oatmeal and hops are two of them. Many grains, in fact, seem to have a positive effect on milk supply, although there has been very little research to show if this effect is real or how it works. Fenugreek is used in many cultures' traditional dishes given to new mothers, and there's even evidence that fenugreek is very helpful in increasing milk supply. In any case, eating a well-rounded diet of healthy fresh foods is your best bet for you and for your baby.
