Terrence Malick Speaks
Should you have any reaction to this news, it can only depend on how much Jason Segel affected your enjoyment of The Muppets. If he was a burden, here you go; if he was a benefit, well, sorry. Said news comes from Vulture, who report that the inevitable sequel to last fall's family hit will bring back director James Bobin and co-writer Nicholas Stoller — but Segel, who co-wrote, starred, and helped will the project to life through years of enthusiasm, will not be lending his name to the screenplay once more.
And it's for the most basic of reasons: he's too busy. Just right now, Segel's schedule consists of shooting on How I Met Your Mother, promotion for three movies hitting throughout 2012 (The Five-Year Engagement, Jeff Who Lives at Home, and This is Forty), other writing opportunities, and whatever else may come to fruition in the little free time still available. The Muppets 2, it seems, can't be squeezed in.
This doesn't entirely discount his chances of returning — that all "[depends] on how the Stoller–Bobin script turns out" — but most will agree that it's unfortunate for one of the original's loudest voices to be rendered silent the second time out. Kermit and Miss Piggy should be returning in their full capacity, however.
Are your expectations for a Muppets follow-up diminished by Segel's smaller input?
Since any New York City cinephile has a nearly suffocating wealth of theatrical options, we figured it'd be best to compile some of the more worthwhile repertory showings into one handy list.

Slight adjustments paying off for Rickie Weeks
Phoenix – Sometimes even small adjustments can provide big results.
Coming off a disappointing 2013 that ended prematurely after left-hamstring surgery, Rickie Weeks has been swinging a red-hot bat for the Milwaukee Brewers.
With Cactus League play entering its second week, Weeks is hitting .444 with one home run, one run batted in and two runs scored. He has also walked four times against just one strikeout in 13 plate appearances.
What's really stood out about Weeks to this point, though, is the contact he's been making. Almost everything he's hit has been well-struck.
"If you guys watch the balls come off his bat, it's pretty scary," said manager Ron Roenicke on Tuesday. "Killing the baseball. I hope he continues it. When he's swinging the bat like this he is really fun to watch."
Weeks has seen his average slip from .269 in 2011, when he was the starting second baseman for the National League in the All-Star Game, to .230 in 2012 to .209 last season while his strikeout totals have mounted.
Never one before to tinker with his approach at the plate, Weeks spent the offseason trying to reinforce a few key points. That, along with a slight change in the position of his hands, is helping make a difference as he attempts to fend off youngster Scooter Gennett for the starting job at second base.
"Just keeping everything smooth, really," said Weeks when asked about the changes. "You keep everything smooth, everything kind of falls in place.
"The biggest thing is maybe just slowing down, really. My hands are a tad bit higher, minute bit higher. But other than that, just slowing everything down."
Roenicke was asked if the 31-year-old Weeks is forced to change some things up as he gets older.
"Not just age (makes) you learn to do different things, but sometimes you just realize, 'I'm not successful in this and I've got to make some improvements,'" Roenicke said. "Sometimes it's with stance, sometimes it's your thinking that changes.
"So he's made some adjustments, and right now looks really good."
Weeks and Gennett have been mostly alternating day to day at second base, with Gennett hitting .100 (1 for 10) to this point. Weeks, meanwhile, is enjoying his hot start to the spring while hitting mostly in the leadoff spot.
"Feel great," said Weeks, who was 0 for 2 with two walks and a run scored in the Brewers' 6-4 loss to the Oakland A's on Tuesday. In his first at-bat, he hit a missile to left field that Yoenis Cespedes was able to spear for an out.
"It's probably the best I've felt in a long time, actually. Stay with it, I guess."

The Eldon Baseball Mustangs started their season on March 16 with an 11-2 loss on the road against the Clinton.
Down 7-0 after just three innings, Coach Brock Silvers pulled starting pitcher Joseph Limbach and brought in reliever Dustin Headrick.
The Mustangs picked up their first run in the top of the fourth off a Mason Farris sacrifice fly that scored John Hall from third base.
Patrick Souders hit a single that scored Brad Dinwiddie for the only other Mustang score. Clinton added another four runs in the sixth inning to seal the win.
Limbach pitched 3 innings and gave up seven hits and seven runs. Headrick took the mound for two innings, allowing no hits and walking one batter. Skylar Yakich came in for the sixth and final inning, giving up four runs on three hits with a strikeout and a walk.
The Mustangs won their home opener on March 19, defeating the Camdenton Lakers 7-0.
Ryan Kliethermes took the mound for Eldon and gave a solid six innings allowing only three hits and no runs. He struck out two and walked four.
Eldon got on the board in the first inning with the help of two walks and three hit batters. Andrew Kempker hit an RBI ground out and John Hall stole home with the bases loaded, giving the Mustangs a 3-0 lead.
In the fourth, the Mustangs added another three runs courtesy of Brad Dinwiddie. Dinwiddie hit a two-out two-on shot into center field, scoring two. When Kempker took first on an error by Camdenton's first baseman, Dinwiddie took advantage and scored, putting Eldon up 6-0.
Headrick took over in the final frame, walking two and striking out two before ending the game.
Eldon's scheduled game against Cole Camp was cancelled due to rain and the Friday Blair Oaks matchup was postponed.

Social Norms and Social Change
As students of sociology, we learn about social norms. Social norms are guidelines for expected behaviors, thus they set out our options for appropriate behavior. Bradley Wright's blog post nicely describes a number of social norms operating in a college setting.
Not everyone follows the norms (deviance might be defined as not following the norm), challenging the social order. Note that the norms are guidelines for expected behaviors. They are the "should dos" and, sometimes the "must dos" of society. Norms can be loosely held, such as folkways, or tightly held, such as mores and taboos, those that are often built into the legal code.

Ne-Yo has seen the leaked photo ("That hurt me to my heart.") and has finally spoken to Rihanna. Now he's talking to press about Chris Brown's alleged assault of Brown's girlfriend.
"Again, I still don't know what happened, 'cause I haven't had the opportunity to talk to Chris yet," Ne-Yo tells MTV. "But to take it to that level really hurt my heart."
"I just wanna sit down and talk to that dude and just explain if he doesn't understand: That's not something that's excusable, bruh. You have to get a little smarter about whatever it is that's going on in your relationship."
But Ne-Yo is not passing judgment, and he says not going to "crucify" Brown like "everyone else is."
Does it sound to you as if Ne-Yo is implying that he thinks Chris Brown did hit Rihanna?
And if so, why won't he pick sides? Let's wait until he talks to Brown and see what he has to say.
Watch the MTV video interview and decide.

Slow Cooker Baked Bean Round-Up
it was blissful.
and then it ended.
I now have a sore throat from all the yelling...
We're trying to camp as many weekends as we can this summer. We're not doing anything spectacular -- just staying close to home and testing out different campgrounds within an hour or two from the house. We are the proud new owners of a tiny pop-up tent trailer, and we love it. I must admit that I'm not the best camper in the world, but I'm really trying to get better. I love the idea of unplugging for a bit here and there, and I think it's important for the kids to get dirty and not freak out when they come across bugs. I'm acutely aware that I'm raising three girls, and am trying my hardest to expose them to as much as I can and foster self-sufficiency.
the best part of the pop-up? It has outlets. For the crockpot(s). A bit of comfort from home is not a bad thing, right?
Top 10 Baked Bean Recipes:
1. Bourbon Baked Beans
2. Potluck Beans
3. Boston Baked Beans
4. Lima Bean Casserole Cassoulet
5. Mexican Black Beans
6. Honey Lentils
7. Cowboy Beans
8. Barbecue Beans and Weenies
9. Baked Beans with Jalapeño and Apple
10. Baked Bean Soup
Have a wonderful and safe Fourth of July. Enjoy your family!!

Samsung Charge USB charging issues
My Charge recently started having issues charging via USB charger. It acts like there is a short or broken contact in the USB port itself. I stopped in a local Best Buy store and the phone rep had the same phone and stated that his just started doing the same thing! Is there any known hardware issues or could this possibly be a software or app issue. When I wiggle the charging cable the "charging" icon goes of and on.

Re: Samsung Charge USB charging issues
I think you're just seeing one of the downsides of the micro-USB port standard. They don't seem to hold up all that well. My Lenovo TouchPad Tablet has a lot of angry purchasers who have had their micro-USB charging ports go bad, and the darn things just don't seem very robust to me.

Hey, make sure to watch through to the end of the episode for a special treat for our viewers.
Comment removed at user's request.
Here is the article I read that claims that only 40 people were in this special invitation-only program:
If you find something differently, please let us know (Ping [at] microsoft dotcom) and we'll correct it in the next episode.
The way the program was structured is quite dumb. My feedback in the "normal random people beta program" was not taken seriously.
Oh well, I tried.
Hey, do you wear the jacket on stage? I noticed you've done your hair - is that because you're a full-time co-host now?
btw. Microsoft Wave - I so wanted that to be Microsoft's implementation of the Google Wave protocol. Guess we're going to be waiting a while longer for that.
I don't always wear the jacket on stage. It depends where I perform. I wear it on stage at Parlor Live in Bellevue, WA. I have a very special gig there and I like to look professional. My hair looks different because I couldn't make it to my regular stylist. Do you like it better this way or the old way?
I, too, thought the story was going to be about a Google Wave partnership/compete story... but not so much... the site does showcase a lot of our cooler items, though!
Pual goes deep! hahahah... goof balls.
The new stile fits you
Also nice show again!
You have a STYLIST?! That's too showbiz for Microsoft dude.
It's not a stylist for the Ping show
It's just Paul.
I can confirm it is not the 40 people who get Windows 7 free, it is the whole invited connect group. Nice stuff!
If Ping can't get it right, who can?
I must also admit to having a Yahoo email address I never use with thousand of incoming spams a day
Ok, where are the tags for this episode?????
Good one btw.
they're full of it.
In an Email from Microsoft dated today:
Thank you for doing your part in making Windows 7 great! As a member of the technical beta program you took the time to download, install and give us your feedback on Windows 7 during development. Over the last 7 months you have participated in chats, live meetings and newsgroups as well as reported bugs to help us find and fix many issues. To recognize your outstanding contribution to the product we are pleased to offer you a complimentary copy of Windows 7 for your personal use.
Thanks Porto Tags added!
No problem, I'm just this metadata nerd....
Just for the fun of it, how about a ping tag for Ping 17, 19, 21 ?

The Ministerial Committee on Legislation unanimously endorsed, Sunday, a bill by Justice Minister Tzipi Livni to consider "price tag" vandalism as an act of terror. The term "price tag" comes from the Hebrew words "tag mechir" that are spray painted next to the vandalism, ostensibly carried out against leftist and Arab targets in response to acts or threats against Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria (Shomron). The purpose of the proposal is to give security forces the tools to deal with the phenomenon, which has become widespread in the past year, despite the efforts of the police and the military to prevent it.

President Obama said for the first time this week that U.S. and allied airstrikes are targeting ISIS training camps in Iraq and Syria, but new figures reveal only 20 camps were hit in recent months.
Since May, U.S. and allied air forces conducted 17 attacks hitting a total of 20 camps in Syria and Iraq, according to the U.S. military command in Iraq.
Critics in the Obama administration and U.S. military say ISIS has been operating more than 60 training camps since 2014 in areas of Syria and Iraq. The camps are said to be producing an estimated 1,000 fighters a month.
The officials voiced frustrations that ISIS training camps are not being vigorously struck.
"These camps give them a continuous, fresh flow fighters," said one official, "and little is being done to destroy them."
According to the officials, the U.S. military has been constrained from attacking the camps because many are located in or near residential areas and population centers and the White House fears strikes will produce civilian casualties.
Additionally, the flow of trained fighters from the camps is assisting ISIS efforts to expand its operations into placed such as Libya and Yemen.
France's Le Figoro newspaper reported Dec. 12 that ISIS has set up two major training camps in the Libyan desert near Houn, about 135 miles south of the coastal city of Sirte.
ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was reported to be in Sirte Dec. 3, according to Libyan press reports.
Long War Journal reported in June that the number of terrorist training camps in Syria and Iraq continues to increase, for both ISIS and al Qaeda. The journal reported that more than 100 training camps have been identified in the two Middle East states.
"The proliferation of training camps in Iraq and Syria speaks to the strength of the Islamic State and its ability to continue to gather and instruct recruits despite the U.S. and allies' air campaign," said Bill Roggio, editor of the Long War Journal.
"It is unclear if U.S. airstrikes have significantly set back the Islamic State's training program," he told the Washington Free Beacon. "We may not be hitting the training facilities quick enough to make a difference."
Obama, under pressure from critics at home and abroad over the limited military strategy against ISIS, on Monday vowed that the U.S. strategy is "moving forward with a great sense of urgency" following ISIS-linked attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California.
"Every day, we destroy as well more of ISIL's forces—their fighting positions, bunkers, and staging areas; their heavy weapons, bomb-making factories, compounds and training camps," Obama said at the Pentagon on Monday following a National Security Council meeting.
French military forces have conducted airstrikes in recent weeks against ISIS training camps in Syria where French ISIS fighters were believed to be training.
The public affairs office at the Combined Joint Task Force—Operation Inherent Resolve said in a statement to the Free Beacon that the 17 strikes included five airstrikes in Iraq and nine in Syria.
"In some of these strikes, the training area was not the primary target, so it may not have been specified in our strike releases," the statement said.
Between May 20 and Dec. 8, the attacks included several strikes near Raqqah, where ISIS headquarters is located, against a training camps and staging areas; attacks also were conducted against a training area and logistics site near Dayr Az Zawr; and strikes on a training camps near Kobani, Mosul, Albu Hayat, and Abu Kamal.
A military statement issued Dec. 17 said a training camp was bombed near Raqqah.
Asked about the low number of training camp attacks, Army Col. Steven Warren, a coalition spokesman, said, "We have struck training camps and will continue to do so."
Sebastian Gorka, the Horner distinguished chair of military theory at Marine Corps University, said final victory in the current anti-ISIS campaign will not be measured by the number of body bags but that "taking out jihadi camps right now is the number one priority."
"Victory will come when we and our allies have delegitimized the ideology of global jihadism, but at the moment ISIS is powerful and growing and must be met with decisive force," he said.
"The rate of U.S. strikes today is infinitesimal in comparison to the First Gulf War and our pilots' incredibly restrictive rules of engagement mean that they often return to base with ordinance still on their wing struts," Gorka said. "As long as ISIS has ten of thousands of fighters in theater, this in inexcusable."
Rep. Mike Turner (R., Ohio) said during a House Armed Services Committee hearing last month that key targets, including training camps, are not being bombed.
"There's great frustration in the American public as we hear that there are attacks now happening to ISIS, and ISIL training camps that we've known where they are but no one's attacking them," Turner said Nov. 18.
"Logistic, supply lines, sales of oil, other operations of ISIS and ISIL are going without challenge," he added. "So clearly the strategy that we're doing is not working and is threatening our national security."
The Pentagon recently began hitting oil facilities and transportation vehicles.
Ryan Crocker, former ambassador to Syria and Iraq, testified at the committee hearing that the U.S. and allied forces should "amp up significantly the air campaign against Islamic State."
"Paris changed a lot of things and I think it should certainly change how we look at a target list, let's look at it again," Crocker said. "If there are key facilities for Islamic State that we've identified, we need to go nail them."

Additional Utilities and Construction Firms Become Eligible for SBA Programs
Created on December 24, 2013
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) issued two final rules in the Federal Register today, revising size standards for firms in two North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) sectors, namely, Utilities (Sector 22) and Construction (Sector 23).
Size standards define the maximum size a firm can be and still be considered a small business. The revised standards reflect changes in marketplace conditions and public comments that SBA received to its earlier proposed rules.
New size standards will enable more businesses in these sectors to obtain or retain small business status; will give federal agencies a larger pool of small businesses from which to choose for their procurement programs; and will make more small businesses eligible for SBA's loan programs.

A magazine is the storage unit and feeding method for ammunition and derives its name from the magazines of old where ammo was stored by armies. Magazines range from the detachable, which are the standard feeding modes and prerequisites of an assault rifle (and which are sometimes incorrectly referred to as clips which is derived from stripper clips of bolt action rifles. However, most magazines are charged with clips, to speed the reloading). It must be noted belt-fed weapons do NOT use magazines; the belt may be contained in an ammo box.
Gravity Fed MagazinesEdit
Usually refers to a top mounted, gravity fed magazine; also known as a hopper. These were used in manually operated weapons such as Gatling Guns, Nordenfelt Guns, Gardner and Bira machine guns. Hopper magazines are somewhat still in use with heavier applications such as anti aircraft artillery etc.
Detachable MagazinesEdit
Detachable magazines come in various shapes, sizes, capacities and stacking styles. Capacities can range anywhere from 3-100+ rounds depending on the ammunition and magazine type. Types of magazines include Drum, Box, Casket and snail drum and the stacking styles in each of these can vary from single stack to triple stack (a recent innovation).
Magazine TypesEdit
Usually found in bolt action service rifles often fed with charger clips.
Detachable and quick loading, used on most firearms.
A widened box magazine that holds more rounds like a drum magazine but less bulky and complicated.
A round shaped magazine intended to hold more rounds; earlier models were complicated, expensive and heavy. They are often seen on weapons in a squad automatic weapon role.

Making Shipping Less Expensive
3 Tips For Taking Your Small Company's Shipping International
Thanks to the rising popularity of online shopping, you may find that opening your small company's product sales to foreign countries can be a great way to boost your overall revenue. In order to ensure that selling goods and services internationally doesn't become a source of stress for your small company, you need to take the time to create a cohesive shipping plan. Here are three tips that will help you avoid problems when shipping internationally in the future. 1. Limit your international offerings to a select group of products. Choosing the products that international customers will have access to is vital when it comes to creating a successful international shipping plan. While it may be feasible to ship large items domestically, these same large items can product insanely expensive shipping costs when sent to a foreign country. By limiting your international offerings to small, lightweight items, you will be able to easily package and send these items off to customers across the globe for a reasonable price. 2. Understand country-specific shipping regulations. It's important that you take the time to become familiar with any special regulations that may affect the items you can ship into a foreign country. While an item might seem harmless enough, the destination country may have unique regulations that govern the import of this item. For example, Vietnam makes it illegal for citizens to receive foreign calendars for commercial purposes. A calendar may seem harmless to you, but shipping more than 100 calendars to Vietnamese customers could get you into some trouble. Be sure that you look up the specific regulations for each country, then determine which countries you can ship your unique products to with ease. 3. Consider using a fulfillment service. If you don't want to worry about the hassle of preparing products for shipment to foreign customers, you may find it beneficial to partner with a fulfillment service that can complete this process on your behalf. All you have to do is send a supply of products to your fulfillment service, forward any orders to the service, and allow them to ship product directly from their warehouse. You will have to pay a small fee, but the benefit of having a third-party handle your international shipments makes partnering with a fulfillment service a worthwhile investment. Don't be afraid to grow your small company by expanding your product availability to foreign markets. Just be sure that you are prepared to create a cohesive and effective international shipping plan that will eliminate the headaches associated with shipping to foreign...read more
Moving 101: 3 Tips For Safely Relocating Your Aquarium
Relocating an aquarium is often a huge challenge. Unlike moving personal belongings, you cannot simply throw the tank in a box and move it. Whether you are moving across the country or down the block, you must take precautions when moving your aquarium. If not done properly, you can wind up losing all of your fish—and that's a huge investment. So how can you safely move your aquarium? Here are three tips: 1. Save The Tank Water One of the most effective ways to keep your fish healthy and happy is to save the water that is already in your tank. Since the current tank water is already adjusted for your fish, they are less likely to go into shock. Another huge benefit of saving the tank water is that your new set-up will take a lot less time to cycle and become healthy again. Although it might sound difficult, it is actually fairly easy to save the tank water. All you need to do is place it in a clean bucket and seal it closed. Just make sure you clean the tank and the water first, as you want the water to be in the best possible condition before moving. 2. Store Filters and Plants When moving, try to store all of your filters and plants in the tank water. Storing these items in the tank water will keep the bacteria colonies intact, which will help your tank tremendously. It will also ensure that your items do not dry out, die, or become damaged. To store filters, place them into a plastic bag with enough tank water to keep the filter submerged. For plants, store them in a plastic bag filled with just enough water to keep the roots wet. 3. Transporting Fish Depending on the length of your move, you may be able to take your fish with you. If the move is shorter, usually only a couple hours, you can easily transport the fish yourself. All you need to do is place the fish into a plastic bag with clean water. To ensure the fish stay safe, take these bags to a pet store and have them filled with oxygen. If you are moving a long distance, you probably don't want to transport your fish yourself. In these instances, you might want to store them at a fish or pet store. Once you get to your destination, have the fish packed and shipped to you. Although not ideal, it will ensure your fish stay healthy and happy for the move. Just make sure you choose a pet or fish store that you trust. Moving with an aquarium is certainly a challenge. Fortunately, with the right precautions you can help keep your tank and your fish healthy and happy throughout the duration of the move. These tips, along with a moving service, can help ensure that you and your aquarium get to your destination...read more
Have Some Very Large Items You Need To Ship? Three Shipping Container Transport Services You Could Try
When you need to ship a piano, a vintage car, or large sculptures, one of the best ways to ship these items is inside a shipping container built for this exact purpose. Depending on where you need to ship your large items, there are a few services that can help. These containers allow you to ship your oversized items using one of the following services. Over Land There are two ways your shipping containers can move over land. You can load them onto the back of a semi trailer and have them transported across the country via the highways and freeways, but it is a slow-going option. Another over-land option is to send your items in their containers by rail. Many of the U.S.'s railroads are still heavily vested in shipping goods all over the place. If you have ever been stopped by the trains crossing through town, you may have seen these shipping containers stacked one- or two-high on a flatbed car. Regardless of the over-land method you choose, you can feel confident that your items are safe and securely attached to the flatbed trailers or cars on which they are transported. Over Sea Cargo freighters place several of these shipping containers in their cargo holds and transport goods this way all over the world. If you need to send your large items to another country, this is an ideal option. There is little interference with the shipping process while the boat is on the waters, and tracking the progress of the shipment can be done online when the shipper gives you a container code to enter. You can also insure your items heavily against damages. In the Air There are special planes that can hold and transport shipping containers. In addition to these specialty planes, helicopters can act as transport for shipping containers when used in conjunction with heavy duty cables and transport hooks. The cables are wound around the shipping container and then lifted up to latch onto a transport hook system underneath the helicopter. (Some planes may also be able to transport the shipping containers this way, but only if they have enough engines and thrust power to carry such large objects.) Air transportation of shipping containers with large, heavy contents may only be utilized for short distances or in cases where it may not be possible to transport the containers over land or over sea. For more information, contact a company like Slana...read more
On Hiring Qualified Rigging Workers
When it comes to completing any construction project, the importance of vigilant and qualified riggers is easily apparent. Riggers are responsible for creating the loads that are lifting into place by cranes on the job site, which means they can place the entire construction site at risk when they don't do their job properly. Here are three things to ensure that any rigging workers you are considering hiring in the future know before allowing them to begin working on any major project. 1. Ground Conditions Not only must rigging workers concern themselves with how equipment and supplies are loaded for transport by a crane, but they must also carefully consider the ground conditions on which a crane is sitting in order to successfully do their job. Soft ground can create a problem when it comes to rigging heavy loads. If a crane is sitting on soft ground, your rigging workers must be able to adjust their load weights accordingly. Hiring a rigging worker that can spot potential dangers due to ground conditions, and suggest possible solutions (like the implementation of an outrigger pad), will help you keep your construction site safer in the future. 2. Load Capacity Cranes come in a variety of styles and sizes, and each crane has some variation when it comes to the maximum amount of weight that it can safely lift. If you want your construction site to remain as safe as possible, it's important that you only hire rigging workers with the ability to accurately read a crane's load chart. The load chart provides information on the appropriate dimensions and weight of a load for the specified crane, and can offer insight into the lift capacity of the crane. When your hired rigging workers can interpret the information supplied by the load chart and apply it to the assembly of each load they create, your crane operations become less dangerous. 3. Potential Hazards Preventing injury on construction sites is essential when it comes to keeping a project on schedule. Hiring rigging workers with the ability to identify potential hazards will create a safe work environment. Be sure that your rigging workers can spot sharp corners that may compromise the integrity of the hoist ropes, and identify kinked or knotted wire rope slings to eliminate safety hazards from your crane operation. Taking the time to identify some key points a rigging service worker should be well-versed on will help you hire only the most qualified workers in the...read more
How To Make Your Company's Physical Location Delivery-Friendly
If you have a physical location for your company, you are likely going to be receiving packages regularly in order to make sure that you have all of the materials that you need to run your business. Because you are going to be relying heavily on delivery services, you need to be sure that you make your company's physical location as friendly to deliveries as possible. Here are some ways that you can make your delivery-person's job easier and ensure that you get what you need as quickly and efficiently as possible. 1. Include Delivery Instructions Your first step is to think about delivering something to your own company from a delivery-person's point of view. For example, if your company is in a large business park with a lot of buildings that are not clearly marked, you might want to think about how you best describe finding your building to someone who does not know the area. Including the number of turns you pass before you make your own turn or the specific location of signs can make the person who is making your delivery's job easier. Also include information about the best door to go in, as well as where that door is located. Make sure that you have clear instructions about how to get into the building if there is a lock on the door and the delivery person has to be buzzed in. All of this will reduce confusion and get you package to you more quickly. 2. Add Signs If you need specific deliveries to go to certain places in a large building that you control, put up signs. Try to funnel all of the deliveries through a single door and then either take them at a single location to be dispersed later or put up signs to make sure that they are all delivered with relative speed. If you decide to have them dispersed by the delivery-people themselves, then you need to be sure that you have clear signs that say "deliveries for [this person], go to the third floor", or whatever the relevant instruction is. This will allow you to make sure that you don't have to waste a lot of time giving directions or having people get lost. 3. Schedule Deliveries for the Same Time Finally, consider trying to schedule all of your deliveries for a particular time and date. For example, try to have all of your deliveries come before noon on Monday in order to make sure that you have enough staff to cope with the deliveries and their dispersal, as well as to increase the chances that you will be able to give directions in clumps. For more information, talk to a company that specializes in delivery services, such as Kidd Curry...read more
Attributes To Possess If You Want To Drive For A Shipping Company
If you enjoy being behind the wheel of a vehicle and are interested in a career change, it's worthwhile to think about applying to be a driver for a shipping company. This fast-paced environment involves plenty of driving, but also requires you to have strengths in a wide range of other areas to help you succeed. This job revolves around delivering packages throughout the city in a timely manner throughout your shift. If you possess these following attributes, you might wish to think about giving this career a shot. Expert Navigation Having the ability to thoroughly know the city in which you live and be familiar with driving around it can be hugely beneficial in your new driving career. While drivers can always use mapping apps to ensure they get to the right location, doing so can take valuable time out of the day. If you know the city like the back of your hand and feel that you'd rarely have to consult a map, you've already got one strength that would help you succeed as a driver. Filing Skills Being a delivery driver is about more than just dropping off packages. You'll also need to file a note electronically that indicates each package has been delivered. You should ideally have experience or skill in managing such types of filing tasks. Although this filing will be done electronically rather than with paper, it's a vital part of the job because it shows the sender that his or her package has been successfully delivered, which instills the sender's confidence in the delivery service and can help create repeat business. Adept At Communicating Although you'll leave some packages at homes and businesses with little correspondence, many of your other deliveries will involve talking to the package recipient. This exchange will involve some small talk, so you should be someone with a friendly, outgoing personality. It will also involve discussing matters related to the package delivery and answering any questions the recipient might have. Physical Strength Being a delivery driver means that you'll constantly be carrying heavy and oversized packages, climbing in and out of the truck and relying on some physical strength to get the job done correctly and safely. Each job description provides a different amount of weight that you need to be able to comfortably lift, so physical strength is a key attribute to deliver packages to your customers but also reduce the risk of injuring yourself. If you think you have the right personality and skill set, check into driver careers in your...read more
Miss Feeding Your Grown Kids? Easy Steps To Ship Them A Home-Cooked Meal
Sending your kids off to college can be an emotional time, especially if the move leaves you with an empty-nest. If you're used to doing a lot of baking and cooking for your child, you may miss that once they leave home. If you want to surprise your kids with a care package full of homemade treats, you may be able to use a shipping service. It's possible to package and ship perishable food items if you use the proper packing techniques. Here's a simple guide to help you prepare your perishable food for shipping. Contact Shipping Company Before you send off your care package, you'll need to make sure that the foods you're sending are safe for shipping. If you're planning on shipping foods outside of the United States, you'll need to confirm the requirements for the country you're shipping to. Schedule the Shipment in Advance You don't want your perishables to sit in a warehouse before being shipped. To ensure the best chance that your package arrives in good condition, schedule your shipment for earlier in the week. This is particularly important if you're trying to ship foods that have been frozen. Pick the Right Containers Air tight containers – plastic containers with snap-tight lids or resealable plastic bags – are the best containers for shipping perishable foods. Not only with the air-tight containers protect your foods from spoiling, they will also protect against spills during shipping. Smaller containers work best, so divide your foods into several small containers instead of one large one. Prepare the Cooler Once you have your foods packed in their airtight containers, you'll need to place them in a cooler for shipping. The cooler will ensure that your foods maintain a constant temperature during shipment. Supplies You'll Need Insulated foam cooler Several pieces of cardboard Gloves 1-2 lbs of dry ice Packing tape Directions Place your containers inside the cooler. Place a thin layer of cardboard over the containers. Put your gloves on and place the packages of dry ice on top of the cardboard. Place another layer of cardboard over the dry ice. Close the cooler and seal it with your packing tape. Take the cooler to your local shipping company for shipment. Just because your kids have moved away to college doesn't mean they have to miss out on homemade goodies. With special handling, you can ship perishable food items right to them. If you run into problems while packaging your gifts, your shipping company (such as Packaging Center Inc) will be able to help you with custom...read more

I assume they would if you ask them. I elected NOT to ask, because I had great confidence in him from the start and I am aware that no doctor is ever going to show you anything bad anyway! Dailey seems more concerned with function than beauty....but it is clear, when you go to him, you will 'get both'! I chose Dailey for his reputation (which is stellar, my family doctor recommended him too). I'm super pleased with the outcome. I can't say what the cost is, as it was/is covered under insurance and I don't have all the details as yet.
5 out of 5 stars Eyelid Surgery
Lower Lid Blepharoplasty - Portland, OR
1 out of 5 stars Hyaluronidase
Vitrase Dissolved Cheek Tissue - Portland, OR
At first, Dr. Daley was friendly and engaging. But, following the Vitrase complication, he was dismissive and irritable. I cannot speak for his surgical abilities. Yet I can't help but be concerned that his copious use of Vitrase speaks poorly of his judgment.
There is no recent activity.

I've been meaning to share with you these snapshots of my new personal stationery compliments of Sugar Paper in Los Angeles! After featuring their lovely designs in Matchbook I just knew I had to have some for my own and contacted the darling Chelsea for assistance. I wrestled with the colors and design (so many choices!), but am over the moon with the results! I love that the navy type is simple and classic, while the scalloped edge adds a dash of feminine flair. The envelopes are white with navy lining, a crisp navy border on the flap, and my address in navy letterpress. Having my address despite the fact we rent feels fabulously indulgent and so grown up! ;) Thank you a million times over to the sweet girls of Sugar Paper — I'll be ordering these for many years to come!

Bon weekend loves and thank you SO much for your tips on Atlanta. I can't wait!
Atlanta Tips?
I'm so pleased to share that I'm headed to Atlanta next month to speak on a panel about new media and design hosted by Traditional Home. I am a huge fan of their publisher, Beth Brenner (she's a Neo-Trad like us and just so kind and forward thinking when it comes to business!), and I am absolutely tickled to have been asked. I've heard so many wonderful things about Atlanta over the years and am terribly excited about my first visit! I know you are a savvy bunch of ladies so I thought I'd ask — any tips or suggestions for my trip? I'm already planning to visit Pieces and am eager to explore the areas of Virigina Highlands and Buckhead. I've always joked about moving to Atlanta (I was looking up real estate there last night…I'm a bit silly like that…) so I really want to get a feel for the city!

The Term Structure of Interest Rates as a Cointegrated System: Empirical Evidence from the Eurocurrency Market
In this paper the author examines the term structure of Eurocurrency interest rates from six countries (with maturities of one, two, three, and six months) using unit root tests and cointegration tests that are robust to departures from independent and identically distributed errors. The main conclusions are: (1) Eurocurrency interest rates have one (and only one) unit root when viewed individually, and (2) for each of the countries examined, Eurocurrency interest rates are cointegrated--with one equilibrium relationship--when viewed jointly. These conclusions are consistent with the weak form of the efficient market hypothesis and suggest that in efficient markets arbitrage generally prevents rates on different maturities of a given asset from drifting too far for an extended period.

Record store owner finds rare Johnson disc
PITTSBURGH – A record store owner has found what he calls "the holy grail of 78s" in a box of old albums he picked up for $50.
Jerry Weber said he discovered a copy of the second song ever recorded by Mississippi blues legend Robert Johnson, "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom," put to disc two years before Johnson's mysterious death in 1938 at age 27.
The rarity, whose value Weber pegged at $6,000 to $12,000, was tucked in a collection of otherwise worthless, damaged old platters.
Johnson was an itinerant singer and guitarist from Hazlehurst, Miss., whose landmark recordings would influence a generation of rock 'n' roll icons. Little is known about his life and death. In popular legend, Johnson sold his soul to the Devil at a Mississippi Delta crossroads in return for an extraordinary ability to sing and play the blues.

This can be a lot of fun if you team up with other neighborhood
parents. Each house can host its own activity: water balloon toss,
slip and slide, sprinklers, car wash, water gun wars. All that
splashing and running around is sure to make any kids ravenous.
Break up the day with a potluck picnic.
Fairy houses are all the rage right now, so take advantage of
the trend to get your kids outside enjoying nature. These magical
creatures are known to bring good luck wherever they go, so make
your garden fairy- and troll-friendly with a specially designed
house. Use empty milk cartons or cardboard boxes as the base, then
cover them with materials collected from gardens or woods (look for
dried natural materials like bark, twigs, stones and leaves) using
a hot glue gun. Place the house in a quiet secluded part of the
garden and encourage fairies and trolls with their favorite
snacks-fairies love sprinkles, while trolls are partial to gummy
worms. (That's what our kids tell us.)
Instead of using plastic cups for the holes, use flower pots and
designate each hole with gardening stakes. Have the kids make flags
out of old fabric-T-shirts, rags, etc.-and tape them to the stakes.
Then design your course, using household objects and the natural
topography to increase difficulty and keep the game interesting.
Hint: garage sales are great places to find cheap, sturdy,
weather-resistant obstacles. If you have some old putters, use
them. There are some cute mini-golf sets out there that are fun and
easy for toddlers. At the end of the summer after the kids have
been practicing on the backyard "course," have a tournament.
This can be a great activity for the kids to do with their
friends, or make it a production and invite the whole neighborhood
to get involved. Not a performer? Every talent show needs a host.
Aspiring artists and film producers can work on stage design, make
a banner to hang behind the "stage" and film the performances. Kids
will get a kick out of choreographing their routines and creating
costumes-not to mention watching the show.

A layer of juicy blueberries sandwiched between tender cake and crisp, crumbly brown sugar topping makes the ultimate coffeecake.
Enjoy a slice for brunch, lunch or a snack — and it's so easy to transport, it's perfect for toting to a pot luck, picnic or barbecue.
Prep time: 15 min | Cook time: 45 min | Total time: 60 min | 12 Servings
¼ lb
butter (1 stick, room temperature)
1 cup
1 tsp
vanilla extract
1 ½ cups
unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tsp
baking powder
¼ tsp
1 package
Earthbound Farm Frozen Organic Blueberries
Crumb Topping:
1 cup
unbleached all-purpose flour
½ cup
(packed) golden brown sugar
½ tsp
ground cinnamon
¼ tsp
ground nutmeg
6 Tbsp
butter (melted)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan and set aside.
In a mixing bowl with electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Mix in the vanilla. Add the 1-1/2 cups flour, baking powder and salt. Mix on low until just combined, then increase the speed to medium for 60 seconds. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top.
Separate the frozen blueberries, if necessary, and scatter them evenly over the batter. (Don't press them in.)
To make the crumb topping, in a medium bowl stir together the 1 cup flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg until well combined. Stir in the melted butter with a fork until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crumbs as evenly as possible over the berries.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center of the cake and the top is golden. Cool to room temperature before cutting.
Make-Ahead Note: The cake may be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days before you plan to serve it.
Fresh Variation: Substitute 2-1/4 cups fresh blueberries for the frozen. Cooking directions remain the same.

Honda taps woman to board, promotes foreigner
By Yuri Kageyama, AP February 25, 2014, 12:51 am TWN
TOKYO--Honda has appointed a woman to its board for the first time and given a major promotion to a foreigner in a sign the automaker wants to change perceptions of a hidebound corporate culture.
Technology expert Hideko Kunii, 66, will join the board, and Issao Mizoguchi, a Brazilian of Japanese ancestry, who has worked with Honda's South American operations for nearly 30 years, has been appointed operating officer, Honda Motor Co. said Monday. The appointments need shareholder approval at a meeting set for June.
Companies have come under fire within Japan for not promoting anyone other than Japanese men. Putting women in leadership positions is a pillar of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's policies to revive the moribund Japanese economy.
Toyota has a foreigner on its board, Mark Hogan, an American, formerly of General Motors Co., but has yet to tap a woman, and said it is not necessarily looking to promote a woman.
Honda has cultivated an international image from its early years, as founder Soichiro Honda always had global acceptance as part of his vision for the company. It was the first Japanese automaker to open a vehicle assembly plant in the U.S. But the addition of Mizoguchi, 54, as one of the top executives at headquarters, as well as the appointment of Kunii, a professor at the Shibaura Institute of Technology, is a high profile move for the company.
Kunii studied at San Jose University and the University of Texas at Austin, and previously worked for Japanese electronics maker Ricoh Co. She is now in charge of promoting gender equality at the university in Tokyo.
Mizoguchi now serves as senior vice president and director of Honda South America.
Despite Abe's prodding to promote women to corporate boards, Honda is the first major Japanese company to follow suit.
Honda officials stressed Kunii was picked because she was the right person for the job, not because of her gender.
Among Japanese companies, Nissan Motor Co., allied with Renault SA of France, has been the most progressive in promoting diversity. Still, it has yet to appoint a woman to its board.
Asako Hoshino, a woman and management expert, is among the top Nissan executives, serving as corporate vice president. Nissan has three non-Japanese on its 12-member board, including Chief Executive Carlos Ghosn.
Japanese society is expected to lose its potential for growth and innovation if it can't do more to encourage women to enter the workforce, as its population is aging and dwindling.
Women say the difficulties of finding proper child-care as well as cultural expectations about women doing housework make it tremendously difficult to pursue a career in Japan.
The nation's tax system encourages women to stay in poorer paying part-time jobs. The lack of role models in Japan Inc. also adds to the obstacles for women's efforts to move up the corporate ladder.
Boosted by the weak yen, also being realized under "Abenomics" policies, Japanese automakers see a great opportunity to grow overseas.
In late 2012, Honda announced ambitious plans to double its global annual auto sales to more than 6 million vehicles in five years.
