Zoe took this one. I tarted it up a bit as we haven't found the best setting for indoor, middling light. The little man I'm holding was the main reason there wasn't time for footering with new cameras. Too much cuddling to be getting on with.
Day 2 with the new camera. I find out about the zoom. It's a bit flat. I cropped it a little as there was too much dockenish field.
Tom, Evil Edna, Patricia and The Quiet Cow
I also took this one. Low point of view. And it was hell getting up from the floor.
James and Giraffe
Tomorrow all the grandchildren will be here so that is a photo opportunity not to be missed. Please watch this space.

Lost Season 5 Blu-ray Collector's Set Announced
I don't normally get excited about the "collector's edition" sets that usually throw in a stupid doll or die cast model with your favorite movie or tv series. However, this just-announced version of Lost Season 5 on Blu-ray looks pretty amazing to a geek like me. The theme is that the set is actually a Dharma Initiation Kit, so I'd like to think there will be some sweet bonus videos like some of the uncut orientation films we haven't seen before. Either that, or this is some kind of conspiracy between Disney/ABC and the last remaining VCR manufacturers. Lost: The Complete Fifth Season Dharma Initiation Kit will be released on December 8, 2009, on the same date as the standard Blu-ray and DVD versions.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

ONLY $10.00 Show & Lecture!!!
Dear Magic Friend, That is correct…both for only $10.00.
Mr. Power has over 30 years experience performing in all sorts of venues. He is easily one of the most wonderful all around magicians in Canada!
Just to give you an idea of Mr. Power's type of work…About 25 years ago during Christmas I (Jeff Pinsky) went into a shopping centre and saw that there was a magic show that day.
I decided to walk over and watch the show. To be honest I was not prepared for what I saw.
Read more and buy tickets.

text: I'm trying to find a way to remove weapons or items left behind when a player dies and drops whatever they currently had equipped on the ground. I've played with server commands for removing physics objects, but they seem to be unrelated. I've also tried a trigger remove with no luck. Is there a trigger entity or server command for this?

The Ender Dragon is an extradimensional being that inhabits "The End". She's the final boss of Minecraft, although after defeating her you can still continue the game. After death she drops a unique item called "Dragon Egg" and a lot of experience points. It is unknown if she is the only Ender Dragon.
Unlike the humanoid Enderman that will only attack if attacked or stared at, the Dragon is aggressive and will attack players or anything that attacks it. The Ender Dragon is also an extremely territorial creature and treats whole The End dimension as her property.
As well as its natural ability of flying, the Ender Dragon can also regenerate herself by using Ender Crystals placed on high pillars made entirely of obsidian.
She also has the ability to shoot Dragon Fireballs which leave a lingering cloud of dragon breath behind, and she sometimes flies to the end exit portal to breathe out her deadly breath. In this state she's invulnerable to arrows.

Full article published online at The Global Grid:
"As President of APA, and as a woman, I have a responsibility with the bully pulpit, if you will, to promote women's issues and promote fair and equitable policies. We've made significant strides within APA. The APA Board and AICP Commission have 50% or more women in the leadership. Our divisions and chapters are not far behind. The issues that women face trying to balance work and family are very real. Women are often the primary caregivers for themselves, their children, husband, partners, and parents. But, still in 2018, we are fighting for equal pay, and to achieve the same status and the same titles as other male colleagues. Women, in their own right, have their own aspirations and their own goals. There is nothing wrong with being determined and driven to seek your higher purpose in life. While we have made cracks in the glass ceiling we have not broken through it yet. But we can, and we must continue to chip away at it. As a woman, my perspective and approach is slightly different than my male counterparts. I believe it is these differences that have made me successful both personally and professionally.
Taking a different perspective has helped me in my travels overseas. I have done a lot of work in the Middle East. What was difficult for me, initially, was that I was going to an area where women were viewed as the property of husbands. As a free woman in the US, I could be easily outraged by this, especially someone as independent as myself. But what I came to understand, is that as a planner, I cannot judge the value systems of another society, but only plan for that value system. So, I became familiar with their laws and policies and even tried to dress the part when I went to Saudi Arabia. We also had a very experienced male colleague who could back me up if the client was uncomfortable with a women running the job. Surprisingly to me, I was embraced, as a western woman, to lead and facilitate face-to-face meetings for my project. This allowed me to uphold my planning principles and ensure that the appropriate levels of services were provided for women and children within their communities.

Mapping the CDT
I'm finally in Boulder, CO mapping the CDT. It's really quite nice to be sitting in front of a computer for a week. A snip of the behind the scenes workings of Backpacker Magazine has been educational. Quality work, I say.
Wool hiking clothing
I've been thinking about hiking clothing a good bit recently. I've got a ton of it. And so much of it is worn out. The stuff I wore on the PCT is ruined. The sleeves on the tshirt ripped off, the shorts are extremely faded and the elastic is shot. My CDT clothing is ruined. I'm tempted to repair the pants. They've got rips on the lower legs, and the seams on the crotch and the butt are busted open. The shirt is permanently brown and the sleeves have shrunk to the point that they barely cover my wrists.
Another pair of pants has patched holes in the butt. Another has a six inch rip in the leg. Another, my softshells, have three busted zippers (including the crotch), a half a dozen burn holes and another six inch rip. They're so busted and stained that they DEFINITELY need to be trashed.
I could use some new hiking clothing. One thing that I now for sure is that it won't be made of wool. Wool baselayers and t-shirts are extremely nice. They're so comfortable. They wick well. And they do well in a wide range of temperatures. It's much more expensive than synthetic and in my experience lasts only a third as long. My wool products have consistently torn faster than any of the products I've mentioned above.
Hiking around the Escalante region.
I've been to the Escalante region many times. Last week, my friend Becca and I squeezed in another set of trips before winter snows started. She lives up there now. Just getting off a long stint as an itinerant truck dweller and hiker, she's settled onto a really cool farm. It's her first step towards the good life in a straw bale house in that beautiful country.
We didn't backpack. We packed for it, but didn't. The lure of the farm house was pretty great. I say we packed for it, but that's often a faulty process. Both of us hike so often, that packing for trips is overly casual. So we often make casual mistakes. A forgotten compass, botched directions to the trailhead, forgetting the powdered milk, etc.. This time, she forgot the stove. Not a big deal as we cooked on wood fires instead. There isn't much wood in canyon country, so our fires were tiny. One night we cooked dinner on a single stick. On the day that we *really* were going to backpack, we spent too much of the morning dayhiking instead. Regardless, we did four day hikes. Just existing out there is reward enough. We're lucky.
We car camped at Dance Hall Rocks, on the Hole in the Rock Road. We drove to the end of this famous road, and walked down the famous hole. We hiked along random red rocks, to rare springs, in notable canyons, beneath large arches, ruin sites and rock panels.
Ultralight Backpacking Videos
I lost over a hundred posts on my old blog. I don't think that I'm ever going to get them back. Luckily, many of them were simply links to youtube videos that I've uploaded.
Instead of posting those all again, I direct you to my youtube page.
Below is my most popular video. I think that people watch it because it comes up when they search for "ultralight gear". I still use mostly the same stuff, though not those exact same models. I've got my gear pretty dialed in, and whenever I stray from that formula, I realize that I'm making a mistake.
Here is my most popular video:
The Crazy Cook Route on the CDT
Lordsburg. It's dumpy.
Lordsburg, where I settled into two hotel rooms before realizing that they were unacceptably filty, bug infested, and broken. Lordsburg, where there really wasn't anything going on. Lordsburg, where the dump of a chinese restaurant, turned out to be delicious. We'd hemmed and hawed about even going in. We *knew* it'd be bad. It was only $4.50 and the food sat under heat lamps that didn't even look strong. But the friendly, straight from the east, via the west coast, family cooked up a delicious portion. Wanted something in the buffet? They probably didn't have enough under the lamp to serve you, but they'd cook it up for you fresh in three mintues. It was awesome. We ate there twice.
Hiked on. Again, the red route. It was pretty much just following posts from here on to the border. They were pretty newly placed. They were pretty easy to follow. Later we saw a sign stating that they were placed every twenty yards. It was more like every 100 yards in the begining. And then it turned to every 1/4 mile, and then in some sad places, every 1/2 mile. It should be obivious that you can't see one post from the other when they're a quarter of a mile away. It was somewhat frustrating. Again, no footprints. No faint foot path. In one section, not even any information from the guy who makes the maps. No one who had hiked it had reported back anything about it. We were the ones to find the water sources and report to the mapmaker their quality and location. It was good hiking. I was happy to be doing that route instead of the commonly done road walking. I like the offical route to Crazy Cook.
It flet like snake habitat, but I saw only one tiny snake. It felt like "illegal" habitat, but I saw only one set of sneaker prints heading northbound away from the border. I did find an abandonded poncho and someone's water jug that'd been painted black. They do that so they're not carrying a big white object as they move through the night.
We had numerous encounters with border patrol. First, two guys on horse back who'd been following us for a while. Then helicopters. Three of them. Not sure if they were really out flying for us, but i'd like to think that the fighter jet that buzzed our heads was dispatched in our direction. Also, four guys in body armor on ATVs. And a guy in a truck. Each time, they'd been dispatched specifically to intercept us. They weren't out there just wandering around. They knew we were there, and they came looking to see who we were. Each time: "Will you state your citizenship?", "Can I see the bottom of your shoes?" Once: "If you like walking so much, you should come work for us." hmm….
And then we were done. I walked from Canada to Mexico. I finished the CDT! It was good. Like chocolate ice cream. I had fun. I'm a little sad. Lost and I are parting ways and that's a bummer. She's been a great friend over the months and a killer hiking companion.
We got a ride away from Crazy Cook with Sam Hughes. Fugitive was there too, we met up with him on the last morning. Sam is a nice guy. The dirt road to Crazy Cook really is pretty bad. You can drive a stock, 4×4 pickup down it, but be prepared to damage your truck. It costs the three of us $160 total to be picked up at the border and driven to Deming. You could easily do more damage than that to your truck. I'd hire Sam. He dropped us off at Walmart.
The guy in front of me was buying a shirt. He bragged to the cashier that he was famous. "A nobel peace prize nominee", "a motivational speaker", "going to hollywood to make a movie", "and author". I held back a laugh, feeling sure that he was blowing smoke. Then he asked me if my chocolate cream pie was my favorite flavor. (It's not). Then he bought it for me. Who the heck does that? What's his story? Some famous dude isn't bragging to the walmart clerk in Deming while shopping for clothing. And why buy my pie? I'm just some grungy dude. To top his tales, I said: "I just walked from Canada to Mexico." It was true. It was all true. Turns out that the guy was http://www.bryantmcgill.com He's what he said he was. And he bought me a pie. He's also the guy that a podcast that I listened made fun of a while ago. From his website, he looks like the epitome of cheese. And he bought me a pie. It was a great finish to the trail.
I am now done with the CDT. Stayed with trail angel El Coyote last night. On a bus to El Paso in two hours. Then tomorrow, flying to Utah. It's my birthday the next day. Then a day to unpack and repack. And then my next trip. I don't quite do re-rentry. I backpack full time. Tuesday is work. Work = backpacking. I'm looking forward to being back.
Life continues and the trail stays within.
Hiking in Silver City, NM
Left Silver City on a road walk. I continue to not be a fan of road
walking. Sure, sometimes it's nice to have easy going miles on a
quite, unused jeep road. You can walk side by side. You can switch
sides when to walk on smoother tread. You can shut your mind off and
just walk. But highway walking? That sucks. We did a bunch of it. Ten
miles? Then turned off to the right on a good quality dirt road for
another bunch of miles. It was the start of our own adventure.
No other southbounders (and I bet, few northbounders) hiked the way we
hiked. That's a little strange because the only radical thing that we
did was to stay on the official trail. We hiked the "Red Route". No
one else did. Turned off the highway, onto that dirt road, at a huge
mine site. Kind of cool seeing the oversized earth moving equipment
moving around the site looking like tiny toys.
Camped that night up at Mud Spring, in a mountain range that I've
already forgotten the name of. Besides having to drink directly from a
cattle trough that had no inflow, it wasn't a bad site. Then, a little
after midnight, calamity struck. Lost and I bolted upright with a
sizeable FIRE burning right next to us. FIRE! Holy hell! Within a half
a second of waking up, it grabbed Lost's burning pack to pull it
farther to safety. Regretably, I hadn't seen that her pack was already
aflames. The FIRE! panic switched to pain and greater fear. I burned
my hand! Water! Sure enough, grabbing a burning pack isn't a good
idea. I now had melted plastic all over my hand. SHIT. I could prolong
the writing of this, simply because I'm a fan of myself. And being
badly burned is an important event in my eyes…. But… Well… I
peeled off all the plastic. It was mostly superficial. I had partial
thickness burns on two of my fingers, and a number of burn blisters.
It took a vicodin and some time to ease the pain enough to go to sleep
again. Lost, lost a lot of important and expensive stuff in the fire.
The entire bottom of her pack burned, as did her iPod, camera, cell
phone, some food, and various odds and ends. Not good at all.
Remarkably, she fashioned a fix for her pack and we could continue the
thruhike without interuption. We guess that she'd lit some duff on
fire hours before while cooking. It smoldered for hours, then burst
into flames when the wind picked up later in the night.
That's definitely the big story of the section. On other topics? The
mountain range with Jack's Peak was small, but quite nice. It was
novel hiking trail that was mostly well built and always well signed.
It was novel hiking trail that had seen no footprints for months. We
left the mountains and did some desert walking. We drank out of
another cattle trough. Two in a row. That one had a solar well near
by, but those don't work when you're there only in the dark hours. We
learned to hate grass seeds. More bothersome than cactus spines, these
tiny grass seeds would go right through our shoes, into our socks and
into our feet. Their needly quality called for immediate stopping. It
was so sharp and painful that we had to remove them instantly. It was
at it's worst just north of Lordsburg, but continued for dozens of
miles south of there as well.
The Gila River on the CDT
This section has been both full and fullfilling. It's intimidating to start this journal entry, I feel like I've done so much since Pie Town.
I'll start with the beginning. It was a road walk out of Pie Town. Lost, Stretch and I made decent time along the mostly flat, little used dirt road. The weather was good. We passed an animal sanctuary that had a water cache and a request not to linger. Their dogs mostly roam free, and had a tendency to follow hikers. A headache and a problem they say. A truck passing by stopped to chat. The friendly guy lives out in the middle of no place significant. He told me an interesting story about how one of his newer neighbors was recently arrested. Turns out the man had bought his property with the proceeds of a major Las Vegas gold and silver robbery. He was in the process of building his new off the grid lifestyle when the law tracked him down. The new owners of the place have erected a sign calling it "Robber's Roost". That afternoon thunder clouds bloomed, banged and flashed as we walked past some pyramid shapped peaks.
Second day and third.. I hardly remember. It wasn't a very remarkable section. We walked on roads, we walked on trails. I got us beer and soda from some drunk hunters. That was nice. Lost let out a scream in camp one night. She's a pretty quite girl so it wasn't a significant scream. But a minute later Stretch and I definitely heard her shout "A dog's running towards you!" It was dark, I expected something that'd be growling and biting. She turned out to be one of the friendliest dogs I've met in a long time. Sure, she'd been rolling in cow poo, probably eating it too, but man what a wonderful dog! She sat in our laps. She obeyed our requests without hesitation. She didn't beg for our dinner. And come bed time, she followed us and slept right by my head. In the morning, we had high hopes of keeping her. Planned to hitch to the nearest town and buy dog food, print "Lost Dog" posters and Lost would have a new dog. But first, Lost went searching for the owner, a dim prospect considering we weren't anyplace. But sure enough, after an hour and a half she came back dogless and sad having found the owner.
The next night, we stopped a little early. The forecast was for 70% chance of thunderstorms and we were facing dark black clouds right before a substantial treeless section. I called for a stop at the last of the trees. It was early. But keeping with our current theme, we weren't worried about making miles. So we stopped and played cards. (I'm killing Lost at Gin Rummy.) Had to search for another campsite as it started to sprinkle. The first one had the remains of at least two gutted and skinned Elk. Thanks for leaving them directly in camp, assholes. It's so nice to have the luxury of doing low mileage days. We'd stopped early, and we'd stopped just before it started snowing. Snow. hmmmmmm….
Dry, but cold, we packed up early the next morning. It hadn't snowed a lot. That walk across the long grasslands towards T-Bar Canyon was absolutely stunning. It didn't warm up for a few hours. Walking through the frozen, snow dusted grass, sun rising, fog lingering, it was one of the most beautiful bits of the trail. We were thankful that the weather had stopped us. For that and because just as it started to warm, we headed down into the Gila River. 70+ crossings? I believe it.
We hiked along the Gila for fifty miles I believe. It was a highlight of the entire trail. The river was never too deep. Above the knees at the most. The forest was mature, diverse and welcoming. The hot springs sublime. The cliffs! Thousand foot cliffs. Lots of wildlife. Other friendly backpackers.
We hit the Cliff Dwellings. I bought a book. 1491. I'm enthralled by it. We sat at Dog Campbell's Country Store. The owner is a pretty high strung dude, and I thought the ice cream to be only so-so. But the camping at the hot springs down by the river was sublime. We hiked the Lower Gila as well. Saw two rattle snakes. Walking behind Lost, I jumped and scampered. We'd both just walked three inches away from a rattle snake. She hadn't even noticed it. A few hours later, sitting at lunch, another rattler slithered right up to us and then got angy with *us*. Poison Oak along the trail and higher stream crossings combined for a little bit of tension filled walking.
Left the Gila. Again, a highlight. Then headed up and away, finally leaving the beautiful river. Walked through some nice forests. Split off from the CDTS/Columbus Route. We've chosen to take the "official" CDTA/Government approved route to the finish at Crazy Cook. Most other hikers this year are going the other way. It was interesting that as soon as we chose the official trail, it pretty well disappeared. It was really nice walking. Lots of cactus and yucca. But seriously. What happened to the trail? I spent some time building some miles of cairns for future hikers.
Camped at the end of public land before Silver City last night. Ordered pizza to be delivered to our campsite.
Saw a lot of wildlife as I said. Lots of Elk, tons of deer, two bears, three snakes, a skunk,…
We've got a really relaxed schedule. Plenty of time for cards, reading, sleeping while it's still cold and being lazy in town. Some hikers rush towards the finish of the long trails, ready to be done. Not us.
I'm loving Silver City.. Friendliest people. Lamb burger at a cool, hidden cafe. Single cup drip coffee at another cool shop. On to the co-op for my resupply. I could live here.

Aiming to reduce the cost burden of textbooks on its students and move toward more adaptable curriculum content, American University in Washington, D.C., has become the latest to join the Open Textbook Network, a hub for open educational resources, or OER. The resulting benefits to students, faculty members say, can hardly be understated.
Undergraduates typically spend about $1,230 annually on college textbooks, according to College Board statistics, leading many to opt out of buying the books or even take fewer classes. But the network offers free, openly licensed textbooks — one way college can become more affordable.
Max Paul Friedman, a professor of history at American University, said students should not have to bear the financial burden of textbooks along with the already-exorbitant cost of college, not to mention living expenses in a costly city like Washington. Annual tuition and room and board at American run up to $59,379 annually, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education.
"A nonstudent might think, 'Come on, buying a few books, what's the big deal?'" Friedman said in an interview with EdScoop. "But many students really are living right at the edge of their resources. They are painfully aware of their debt, and often when they can get grants or loans, many … don't cover costs of textbooks."
Friedman, who teaches a course with a focus on social movements throughout history, said he tailors the openly licensed material for students so that they can focus on the information that is pertinent to his class — an added perk of moving to OER.
"Because it's open and it can be amended, it's much more flexible and can wind up working better," said Friedman, who has been teaching at American for a decade. "We're free from designing our course around the textbook's contents. We can design the contents around the course."
The Open Textbook Network, which launched in 2014, currently offers 425 books from various publishers to its 600 member institutions. These textbooks all have been peer reviewed by university faculty and are accessible online, through students' course management systems or through PDF documents. American University professors can upload the virtual books onto Blackboard.
"It's simply a file, and they can just put a link on their Blackboard site and link out to wherever the book is on the internet, and then students can just download it for free. Or the
instructors will download it and upload it to their [course management system]," David Ernst, executive director of Open Textbook Network, said in an interview. "There's nothing too complicated about it."
Ernst, who led a workshop Sept. 28 at American University in Washington, D.C., added that the growing demand from institutions, including both universities and statewide organizations, is "driven a lot by cost."
"Cost really impacts student success, and faculty see it every day in their students who show up without a book or because they couldn't afford it or try to get by without it," he said. "It's frustrating for everybody and it's an access issue, an academic success issue and a social justice issue."
The virtual textbooks available through the Open Textbook Network also offer online quizzes, instructional modules, discussion questions, articles, interactive simulations and image, video and audio files.
This is not American's first encounter with OER: The university in 2015 launched "Open American," a program that encourages faculty to adopt openly licensed materials. According to university officials, 17 professors have saved more than 1,500 students an estimated $250,000 in textbook costs through the program.
Other OER initiatives in higher education have found similar success. Last year, Rhode Island's governor announced an effort to save college students $5 million in five years by promoting openly licensed materials. At its one-year mark, the initiative had helped students in the state save almost $900,000.
"American University is committed to improving access, affordability and academic success for students," said Jill Klein, interim executive director of AU's Center for Teaching, Research and Learning. "Joining forces with institutions across the country through the Open Textbook Network scales up AU's ongoing efforts to help faculty members make the switch to using quality, free textbooks and other instructional materials in their courses."
Ernst said his visits to college campuses around the country are becoming more frequent as interest and demand for OER increase. In the past few weeks, since the fall semester began, he visited the University of Maryland and Clemson University along with American University.
"Faculty are very receptive," he said. "It's always a very positive
conversation, and actually, what we have found as we've run these
workshops is that 45 percent of faculty say they're going to adopt
an open textbook. And those who don't, it's generally because they haven't quite found
the right one that fits what they need."

Switzerland is the second-most globalised country in the world after the Netherlands, according to the latest edition of an index prepared by the University of Zurich. The Alpine nation has moved up from fifth place.
The index prepared by the KOF Swiss Economic Instituteexternal link tracks countries' levels of globalisation across politics, economics, and society. The current edition uses data up to and including the year 2015.
Surprisingly, Switzerland was not top of the pile when it came to economic globalisation, which usually lists financial or trading hubs. Its strongest showing was in the area of social globalisation, which may (like last year) be based on its high proportion of foreign residents.
+ Switzerland: a country with a history of exchange with the world
The shift in Switzerland's position comes as globalisation worldwide fell slightly for the first time since 1975. This was mainly due to a decline in economic globalisation, which is based on trade flows and the political agreements that enable them.
The stagnation is also likely to continue, according to KOF Director Jan-Egbert Sturm.
"I am somewhat sceptical regarding progress in globalisation," he said in a press release. "Whilst economic globalisation is – given the world economic recovery – likely to have advanced further, in particular the isolationist policy of the USA along with that of the United Kingdom have resulted in greater compartmentalisation."
The Netherlands was the most globalised country in the latest KOF index, while Sweden came in third. The list is dominated by Western European nations. The top non-European countries are the UAE (11th), Canada (15th), and the United States (23rd).
The report pointed out that smaller countries, often surrounded by many interdependent neighbours, tend to place higher in the ranking than larger countries.

What is LinkedIn?
LinkedIn is a social media platform and app aimed at business and employment. It's primary purpose is to be a professional networking tool and user profiles act as an enhanced online CV. It also offers a range of job advertisement tools, online learning tools and LinkedIn Groups. This blend of professional- and employment-focused tools is fairly unique, meaning LinkedIn currently has few legitimate competitors.
LinkedIn revolves around its 'Connections' mechanic. Similar to 'Friend-ing' on Facebook, users can opt to 'Connect' with other users. This offers full access to the other user's profile, content and opens up the ability to send them instant messages. Individuals who are directly connected are considered to have '1st Degree connection'. However, content that is posted by a user on LinkedIn may also be delivered to 2nd and 3rd Degree connections (i.e. the Connections of your Connections), widening your potential network.
In addition to offering personal profiles, LinkedIn offers Company Pages.
- 25 million UK users
- Among online UK adults aged 18, the % who use LinkedIn
- Gender: Male 37%, Female 29%
- Demographics
- 18-24 – 38%
- 25-34 – 46%
- 35-44 – 46%
- 45-54 – 32%
- 55-64 – 29%
- 65-75 – 18%
- 75 – 10%
What it does best
- Professional networking as an individual – LinkedIn functions as the only dedicated social media platform for professional networking. The social media aspects of the site make it easy to interact with other professionals, answering questions, building relationships or just celebrating the successes of those in your professional network. In other words, the site facilitates the sort of interactions you might get at any traditional networking event. This is where the platform really shines. Find a guide to networking on the platform here.
- Sharing business news and success – LinkedIn allows users to share text, image, url and short video content through its platform. This allows users to share what their business has been getting up to and updates on their professional lives.
- Connecting with potential leads or partners – LinkedIn has a detailed database of individuals and companies and a powerful search engine with which to find them. This makes LinkedIn a great place to find and contact new sales prospects or potential partners using social selling techniques.
- Creating a profile for your business – A LinkedIn Company Page displays basic information about a business, such as its size, website, address and any LinkedIn members associated with the business. It also features its own feed, which can be updated with text, weblinks, image and video content. This content is delivered to the feeds of anyone who has chosen to follow the company's page. See some how some businesses have utilised Company Pages here.
- Discussing business with individuals – LinkedIn Groups allow individuals to discuss and network with others of a similar industry or interest. This function has recently been integrated better into the LinkedIn website, with group posts showing up in a user's central feed. If you join groups frequented by your prospective customers, you may be able to build relationship with prospects by answering questions they ask in the group or respond to issues faced by their sector.
- Instant messaging – LinkedIn has a solid instant messaging service for members, which allows users to send messages to one or multiple 1st Degree connections. (However, this tool is not available for Business Pages, meaning it cannot be easily used as a customer service tool.) Individuals with Premium (paid for) accounts can also pay to send email-style messages via InMail to users to whom they are not connected.
- Long-form expert content – LinkedIn Articles, previously known as LinkedIn Pulse, allow users to host longer-form blog style content on the site. This is an ideal place for thought-leadership or think pieces. These articles may show up on the feeds of 1st degree connections (and beyond). Use of hashtags can also increase their reach. However, it is not possible to browse LinkedIn Articles and you are reliant on the LinkedIn algorithm to deliver your article to an audience.
- Digital advertising – LinkedIn has a huge suite of advertisement tools with good targeting options. In addition to display advertising and sponsored posts, LinkedIn also offers a direct mail route in the form of sponsored InMail. LinkedIn Premium for business can also add some supplemental tools to Business Pages to make it easier to analyse its performance and find new leads.
- Recruitment – LinkedIn hosts a job listing service and has the ability to process job applications in-platform. This, combined with the site's online CV-style profiles, makes LinkedIn a great place to post jobs and proactively find candidates.
What it does less well
- Professional networking as a business – While LinkedIn offers Company Pages as a way to give your business a presence, the functions of these profiles are rather limited. There is little you can do with them beyond host up to date information, share job listings and share updates. There is no business inbox for instant messages and it is not possible to interact with users as your Company Page, so you cannot 'network' under the guise of your business. Users need to network on a personal basis – through their personal LinkedIn profile – to make waves on the platform.
- B2C marketing – LinkedIn is designed for B2B communications, meaning its primary audience is business professionals looking to network. With this in mind, the results of B2C communications efforts or marketing may vary. If your product is associated with business in some way and/or would be attractive to a business person, LinkedIn may provide a great way to reach your target audience. For other B2C products or services, success on the platform is possible but this needs to be approached thoughtfully. See some great examples here.
- Limited reach of content – LinkedIn acts as a closed network. While this makes it an intimate setting to keep up with your business contacts and make new ones, this does limit the reach of content. Typically, LinkedIn updates and Articles are only delivered to 1st Degree Connections. This can only be extended if your Connections interact with your content, meaning that a lot of content is likely to reach a small audience. This problem is heightened on Business Pages, which only deliver content to users who have followed the page. Overall, this means that it can be hard for organic content to find a wide audience.
- Customer service – LinkedIn has little capacity to handle customer enquiries as there are many limits on its instant messaging tool and InMail. InMail is pay-to-use, which limits its usefulness, and instant messages can only be exchanged by those who are Connected. Business Pages are missing a messaging feature entirely. Consequently, this is a function better handled by other social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
It may work for you if:
- You are looking to promote your business, share business news and network as an individual on behalf of your business
- You wish to target business professionals or network in a B2B environment
- You want to share long-form business-focused articles to promote your thought-leadership skills with your own professional network
- You are looking to develop one-to-one relationships with potential customers or partners, rather than reaching a wide audience organically.
- You want to use the platform's excellent database as a lead generation tool

All of the things that had once made this house warm and cosy had been thrown away, including a small, brown teddy bear that must have been left behind by mistake. The small bear lay outside for a very long time until one day it started to snow. He was soon so cold that his nose turned blue and his fur became grey. When spring arrived and it was warm again, a young girl came out to play and discovered the little teddy bear. She took the teddy to her grandmother straight away and begged her to repair the broken bear. From that point on, despite his patches and little blue nose, the girl loved her Tatty Teddy more than anything else in the world…

If a taxpayer has a tax question, it stands to reason that the Canada Revenue Agency would best know the answer, but according to a recent CBC report, business owners who sought tax advice from the Canada Revenue Agency helpline were given incorrect information 25 per cent of the time. The survey also found that 44 per cent of callers had difficulty connecting to the helpline, and had to deal with incredibly long wait times and poor customer service. In fact, it took the average caller nearly three attempts to reach a CRA agent, and in some cases more than 14 attempts.
The results are much worse than CRA's previous estimates of 92.5 per cent accuracy and mirror similar findings by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business ("CFIB"). The CFIB conducted its own testing (found here: http://www.cfib-fcei.ca/cfib-documents/5550.pdf) in 2010 and 2012 and determined that call centre employees were providing wrong or incomplete answers 19 per cent of the time. Other problems included long wait times, lackluster customer service and inaccurate information, earning the CRA a mark of C- in both 2010 and 2012.
Given the complexity of the Canadian tax code, it's not surprising that Canadians need to ask for help to do their taxes. In fact, the CRA helplines handle about 3.3 million business inquiries and 14 million individual inquiries per year. What is surprising, however, is that the CRA itself finds it difficult to understand the tax code. Receiving inaccurate information has serious legal and financial consequences for taxpayers trying to comply with a difficult tax code. Acting on false information- even if it comes from a CRA agent – is not a valid defense and taxpayers can find themselves facing a grueling audit with thousands of dollars in taxes, interest and penalties on the line. Furthermore, filing a grievance with the CRA Complaints and Disputes department does not eliminate a taxpayer's liability.
If you are facing tax issues that require knowledge of the tax code, do not rely exclusively on the information given by CRA – speak with the tax professionals at Tax Solutions Canada to understand all of your options before you end up making a tax mistake that could cost you thousands of dollars.

Energy efficient fridges can save money in the long term
Replacing an old fridge with a new energy efficient model can help save a considerable amount of money on power bills - and with Boxing Day sales right around the corner and a new year beckoning, now could be a great time to consider making a new purchases.
The Australian government's Living Greener initiative suggests that replacing appliances is a great way to incorporate energy efficiency practices in your home without having to worry about making significant lifestyle changes.
An easy way to choose an energy efficient fridge is to begin by reading the energy rating label - or compare different makes and models of refrigerator online using the government's Energy Rating website.
Energy labels are easy to understand - the more stars your fridge has, the more energy efficient it is likely to be.
But there are other considerations to bear in mind when choosing a new fridge or freezer.
These appliances tend to run most efficiently - and therefore put the least strain on your electricity bill - when they are full or nearly full.
This means that it is a smart idea to ensure your refrigerator is the right size for your household. Of course, you'll want to ensure it isn't too small - but by the same token, a too-big fridge that is constantly under-filled can result in unnecessary expenditure on electricity bills.
One great tip for keeping fridges running efficiently - particularly when it's not quite time for another trip to the grocery store - is to fill in the empty spaces with bottles of water.
It is also essential to remember that appliances - like fridges and freezers - are designed to run for many years, so investing in a high-quality, efficient model could pay off in the long term.
In fact, you may pay more to run your appliance over a number of years than it cost to initially purchase it.
If your new year's resolutions include keeping tabs on how much you spend on bills, there could be an easy way to address the problem.
Electricity prices can vary by supplier - and you may find that there are other tariffs available in your area that offer better value for your family.
Speaking to a comparison service may be a good first step - if the representative is able to find you a better deal, they will also be able to assist you with the process of switching.

Club Desire(4)By: Amy Brent
I had become a master at keeping my expression as blank as a sheet of paper. That skill served me well when she mentioned the name of the ultra-private club that Denny, Sammy, and I had founded for super rich guys like us who wanted to mingle with super hot women without any strings or worry about public embarrassment. The extent of that mingling was up to the member and the girl, but suffice it to say, most members would pay a small fortune to fuck an otherwise unobtainable woman who looked like a Victoria's Secret supermodel, and the women who worked at Club D as "escorts" would go all the way if the price was right.
These girls were 20's.
Some of them were even off the charts.
I shook my head like I was disappointed at her sad efforts to ask an original question and gave her a look that said the interview was over. "I'm sorry," I said, putting my hands on the desk, ready to push myself out of the chair and show her the door. "I don't think I'm familiar with… what was it… Club Desire?"
"Yes. Actually…" She reached into her purse and brought out a business card. She set the card on the desk and used one long finger to slide it toward me. The card was expensive looking, glossy and black, with the words "Votre Désire" and a phone number embossed in gold on the front. I recognized the card immediately, though I tried not to show it. It was a card given to beautiful women who might be a good match for the club. We employed hostesses, waitresses, bartenders, dancers, and escorts; the latter being those who would fuck a member's brains out for two-thousand dollars a pop and leave them begging to spend more.
And trust me, it was money well-spent. Me, Denny, or Sammy were typically a new girl's first customer to make sure she was a good fit for Club D. We called it "Quality Control". If we didn't think the pussy was worth two-grand a pop, we made her a waitress or a dancer, although some girls passed with flying colors based solely on what they could do with their mouths or other body parts.
We called them "Specialists" because that's what they were: special.
I know, it was a tough job, but someone had to do it.
I picked up the card and stared at it for a moment, examining both sides, though I knew there would be nothing on the back. The cards were sparsely passed out by one person and one person alone: Club D manager and concierge, Monte Lemon—or as we called him: Mr. Lemon, because we thought it sounded cool. Monte was Sammy's uncle, a former maître d at a high-class restaurant in New York City. He also ran strip clubs for John Gotti back in the day, which gave him the perfect mix of class and attitude. Monte was in charge of recruiting girls for the club and a fucking master of discretion. I knew he didn't mention my association with the club. And I doubted he gave her the card. Monte was too sharp to give a reporter a card, no matter how fantastic her tits were.
No, she had gotten the card from someone else, someone who'd passed it on with the whisper about what went on there. Clearly, she was on a fishing expedition, hoping to snag the big one and have me verify the long-whispered rumor that Club D actually existed and was the brainchild of yours truly and his merry band of billionaire brothers.
"Votre Désire…" I said thoughtfully. I glanced at her over the top of the card. "Is that French?"
"Yes, it's French," she said, one eyebrow arching as she tried to detect the lie that was firmly sealed behind my lips. "It means your desire or whatever you desire."
"Interesting," I said with a slow nod. I knew what the name meant. I thought the name was stupid when we came up with it, but Denny liked the sound of it and he was fucking a French girl at the time, so, yeah… Votre Désire… Your Desire. I should have kept the card, but I didn't want to raise her suspicions any higher. I set the card on the desk and slid it back her way.
I asked, "Am I supposed to know something about this… what did you call it… club what?"
"Club Desire," she said, taking the card from my fingers and slipping it into the side pocket of the computer bag. "Club D, for short. Are you telling me that you know nothing about the place?"
"What say we play a little game," I said, leaning forward to plant my elbows on the desk. I spread out my hands and smiled. "Why don't you tell me what you think you know about this Club D place and I'll either confirm or deny it if I can."
"Are you saying Club D actually exists?" she asked, a hint of urgency in her voice. I could see the spark in her blue eyes at the anticipation of a nice, dirty story that would get her a byline in the magazine or on the website. I could hear her breath quicken. I knew that her heart was beating a little faster behind those giant melons. Her pink tongue darted across her lips. She squirmed in the chair as if it were getting hot beneath her, even though I expected the heat was coming from within her cunt and not from the chair.

Historicist: Hustle, Bustle, Rush, and Roar
Every Saturday at noon, Historicist looks back at the events, places, and characters—good and bad—that have shaped Toronto into the city we know today.
Still from Goin' Down the Road (1970).
In the summer of 1970, Torontonians lined up around the block to see Goin' Down the Road, the low-budget feature debut by Toronto-born director Donald Shebib. Between its July 2 premiere at the New Yorker Cinema to the end of the summer it grossed over $150,000—perhaps the first time English-Canadians were eager to go see an unmistakably Canadian film.
Goin' Down the Road follows Pete and Joey (played by Doug McGrath and Paul Bradley respectively), two under-educated Atlantic Canadians who leave Cape Breton for the bright lights and perceived economic opportunities of Toronto. For a while, they live it up by drinking, carousing, and carrying on at night, but eventually they're laid off from their manual labour jobs, and they head west.
The film has been seen as, Katherine Ann Roberts writes in the American Review of Canadian Studies (March 2009), "both a film of its time—a portrait of 1960s urban in-migration coupled with changing sexual attitudes and social freedoms—and a quintessentially Canadian story of regional displacement motivated by economic inequalities."
As the oral histories documented by Gary Burrill in Away (McGill-Queen's University Press, 1992) attest, Goin' Down the Road closely mirrored the real life experiences of many working-class Atlantic Canadians who migrated to Upper Canada. "The basic premise," Shebib explained to Motion magazine in 1973, "was to make a film about people that most others would not like. The young twenty-five-year-old hip kids that went to see the film wouldn't spend the time of day speaking to those [Atlantic Canadians] and neither would I, but they like them in the film."
In addition to being an evocative portrait of this little-noticed underclass in the Toronto of the 1960s and 1970s, the film is also a postcard of a bygone age, capturing aspects of the city that have since disappeared.
Still from Goin' Down the Road (1970).
After enrolling in film school at UCLA in 1961, Shebib gained early experience working on Roger Corman productions, then made his reputation as a documentary filmmaker who examined little-noticed urban communities, including First World War veterans, street corner preachers, and suburban bikers.
By the time of Goin' Down the Road's release, Shebib was thirty-two and had seventeen documentary films under his belt. In the book This Is Where We Came In (McClelland and Stewart, 1977), critic Martin Knelman called Shebib a filmmaker with a "highly developed gift for sociological detail" who imbued his material with an "authentic flavour."
Shebib originally conceived of Goin' Down the Road as an hour-long CBC-style documentary looking at the dimensions of internal migration from Atlantic Canada to Ontario in the post-war period.
Between 1961 and 1965, a net migration of seventy-four thousand people left the Maritimes (or an estimated 150,000 over the entire decade). Essentially at the wrong end of the a core-periphery relationship since Confederation, as D.J. McDonald put it in a 1968 report for the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council, the east coast's economic development had "been thwarted by policies designed to promote the interests of the region at the other end of that relationship, Central Canada." Many Atlantic Canadians were lured west by Ontario's booming economy and the surging manufacturing industry in the Golden Horseshoe. One easterner explained his preconceptions of the big city to Burrill: "Toronto was just hustle, bustle, rush, and roar."
Still from Goin' Down the Road (1970).
The movement, in fact, included bank executives, lawyers, businessmen, and one future Ontario Lieutenant Governor—as New Brunswick transplant and Toronto Star journalist Ned Belliveau put it in an essay in My Toronto (Macmillan of Canada, 1970). However, Shebib wanted to tell the story of average, working class folks for whom the migration didn't always work out as planned.
"It was really based on an experience of my cousin on my father's side of the family—my father is from Cape Breton—who came up to Toronto when I was still in college and stayed with us for a month or so," Shebib told Toronto International Film Festival director Piers Handling in a 1978 interview. "It was in part based on problems he had existing. He ran into the same story as those guys right down the line. The film was based upon that experience, of observing him."
Work on the script began as early as December 1967 with "no conscious design in what I wrote whatsoever," Shebib later said. After failing to fully develop the project with a couple of writers, the young director collaborated with screenwriter Bill Fruet, with whom he worked on the CBC's The Way It Is. From there, the script seemed to naturally evolve from documentary to dramatic feature.
Article from the Toronto Star, August 14, 1970.
With a final script completed in 1969, Shebib's project was granted nineteen thousand dollars by the Canadian Film Development Corporation (CFDC), a recently created federal agency mandated with offering subsidies towards the production of feature films with "significant Canadian creative, artistic, and technical content." By Christmas 1969, after eight weeks of shooting, Shebib had exhausted the CFDC grant and his personal savings. He'd even sold his Morgan Plus 4 sports car.
During the film's development, Shebib admitted to Handling, he hadn't made any effort to secure distribution arrangements. Only after he saw some of the early rough cuts did he think: "Gee! Maybe I can find someone who'd like to screen the film." He did. In February 1970, Bennet Fode, head of Phoenix Film and owner of a small theatre chain (including the New Yorker Cinema in Toronto) threw his support behind the project. The film was completed for a total budget of eighty-five thousand dollars. It was shot on portable 16 mm equipment and later blown up to 35 mm.
Shebib's four-person crew—which also included cinematographer Richard Leiterman, soundman James McCarthy, and assistant camera operator Ted McGhee—shot the film by the seat of their pants, often improvising according to unplanned situations that arose. "Filming in an era before the city did a multimillion-dollar trade as a generic urban setting for Hollywood movies," critic Geoff Pevere writes in Toronto on Film (TIFF, 2009), "Shebib didn't require licenses or permission to wield a camera on Toronto streets." They'd simply shown up on the streets, or at a restaurant or tavern with lights and wheelchair (their low-tech solution for dolly shots), and hastily worked out permission with the proprietor.
Apart from a few odd archival reels or news footage of the 1950s or 1960s, there are few moving images from this period in the city's history. But with locations throughout the city providing the background scenery Goin' Down the Road was a travelogue of 1969 Toronto, and among the first films to give the city a distinct cinematic character.
After steering the car off the Don Valley Parkway, the pair's early exploration of the city, as they wander the streets and shops, is presented almost without dialogue. The pair share a bottle with a wino at Allan Gardens, and take a couple of women they pick up for a picnic on Toronto Island. In addition to walking the Yonge Street strip at dusk and browsing the LPs inside Sam the Record Man, the film takes the viewer inside the city's taverns. The domestic scenes in a run-down apartment were filmed on location in a real Cabbagetown flop house. "When we walked past that house, we almost passed out," Shebib told Kaspars Dzeguze in the September 1970 issue of Macleans. "I've never smelled anything so foul in my life." The documentary-style and "rough, anti-slick texture," Knelman argues, added authenticity, making "the material seem 'caught' rather than contrived."
Still from Goin' Down the Road (1970).
Many contemporary critics responded to the strong sense of place in the film and gushed that the film's setting was unmistakably Canadian. One said that Goin' Down the Road "has included enough familiar hangouts from over the tracks in his Toronto sets to pad out the seedy-slice-of-life aspect of the film."
Much critical ink was also spilled to discuss the film's representation of gender and the characters' presentation of masculinity, particularly in relation to the French-Canadian sexpot at the bottling plant (played by Nicole Morin) and Joey's pregnant girlfriend (played by Jayne Eastwood).
Other critics, including Margaret Atwood, felt Shebib's movie was part of a larger trend in English-Canadian films dramatizing failure with male protagonists who are "born losers" or victims. But in reading Pete and Joey as representative of a standard masculine type, these critics downplayed the central Canadian real-world conflict the characters reflected.
They are not simply naive "victims of the rainbow"—as one of Bruce Cockburn's folk songs on the film's soundtrack describe them. "Peter and Joey are victims not of illusions but of the hard facts of modern urban life; and they are victims, also, of specific people and institutions," Robert Fulford correctly notes in an article (penned under his pseudonym, Marshall Delaney) for Saturday Night in July 1970. Their struggles reflect the real world economic, class, and cultural effects of regionalism within Canada. And, to a reasonable extent, their experiences mirror those encountered by those interviewed by Burrill.
Article from the Toronto Star July 3, 1970.
Pete and Joey's arrival in the city is anything but rosy. Leaving behind the tight-knit sense of community of the east coast, they figure they can count on staying with east coast friends who'd arrived in Toronto earlier. But their first lesson is that Toronto is cold and isolating. When friends turn their back, the pair spend their first nights at a Salvation Army hostel with the homeless and down-and-outs. They later end up in a skid-row apartment in Cabbagetown—where it was common to overhear drunken domestic disputes and to see policemen in the hallways.
Many real life Maritime migrants ended up in the same run-down district. Bruce and Molly Greenlaw arrived in Toronto from Guysborough County, Nova Scotia, in the 1960s, and bounced around Cabbagetown apartments including one above Parliament and Gerrard. The neighbourhood was so rough that, instead of watching television, the Greenlaws would just watch the action outside. "We'd seen guys come through that plate-glass window on [the Gerrard Hotel] so often," Bruce Greenlaw told Burrill, "I wondered why they even put the glass back in." Once, they even saw a cop get beat up on the street.
Seeing pages and pages of jobs ads in the newspaper, Pete figures they can simply pick and choose. "It's all right here—all you have to do is go out and get it," he says, dreaming of "a job in an office, some chick for a secretary, company car, and my name on the door." He applies for an office job at an advertising firm. But at the job interview, he's questioned on his lack of credentials and education. "What's the sense of getting an education?" Pete asks at the job interview. "I mean, do you need an education to work on the docks, or in the mines? There ain't a hell of a lot to choose from in the Maritimes, you know."
Still from Goin' Down the Road (1970).
Pete and Joey end up settling for manual labour jobs, working for eighty dollars per week at the Wilson soft-drink bottling plant. It frustrates Pete, who figures that since their arrival they've piled about a quarter million crates but accomplished nothing. "Everything keeps going around in a circle and you can't see what you've done," he complains. "I wanna do something that matters, that says Peter McGraw was there." He tries to move up by teaching himself to drive the forklift—even after a supervisor dismisses him as not smart enough for the task—but it ends in disaster.
As Maritimers in Toronto, Pete and Joey are constantly reminded that they are from somewhere else. As Shebib explained to the Montreal Gazette, the two were as much foreigners in Toronto as Italians.
Spending most of their evenings on the streets and in taverns frequented by other Atlantic Canadians, Roberts writes that Pete and Joey used "their regional 'otherness' as a consolation, and [found] a limited sense of community through drinking and dancing to eastern music and carousing with others to a [live] performance of…'My Nova Scotia Home.'" But even here, they are reminded they're different, when the bartender vocally objects to the raucousness of their step-dancing and their use of the Lord's name in vain. For Burrill's subjects too, such clustering with easterners and fraternization often turned raucous. The Greenlaws recalled that they and "a bunch of down-easter friends" would host parties every couple of weeks. "This Saturday night it might be at our house, and we'd have spaghetti or whatever, and they'd bring their own booze, and we'd party from eight o'clock until daylight."
As Burrill makes clear, many Atlantic Canadians—well-known for their strong ties and allegiances to home—did eventually return to the coast. However, that wasn't to be the fate of Pete and Joey. Laid off from the bottling plant and facing mounting debts, Pete and Joey decide to rob a Loblaws supermarket. The desperate act ends in the violent beating of a clerk and the pair take off for Alberta, abandoning Joey's pregnant wife.
Although the film was quickly enshrined in the pantheon of Canadian cinema in the 1970s, Pevere has more recently questioned its lasting legacy. "Goin' Down the Road is a Canadian benchmark more referred to than actually seen," he wrote in a Summer 1995 article in Take One. "Had it been released at another time or in another country, one wonders whether it would loom in quite the same way." He added that SCTV's hilarious send up was probably better known for many years than the film itself, which was long out of print until being re-released on DVD.
Yet the film still stands up as a document—a postcard of Toronto in the late 1960s and early 1970s—and a reasonably accurate portrayal of how the city was experienced by those carried along the massive influx of internal migration from Atlantic Canada in that era.
