Ghost on Heroku
Ghost is a free, open, simple blogging platform. Visit the project's website at http://ghost.org, or read the docs on http://support.ghost.org.
Deploying on Heroku
To get your own Ghost blog running on Heroku, click the button below:
Fill out the form, and you should be cooking with gas in a few seconds.
Things you should know
After deployment, visit the admin area at
YOURAPPNAME.herokuapp.com/ghostto set up your blog.
Your blog will be publicly accessible at
To make changes to your Ghost blog (like adding a theme to the
/contentdirectory, for instance), clone your blog locally using the Heroku Toolbelt:
heroku git:clone --app YOURAPPNAME
What do I put in the fields?
App name. Pick a name for your application. Heroku says this field is optional, but it's easier if you choose a name here, because you need to specify the URL of your blog in the first config field anyway. You can add a custom domain later if you want, but this is the name of the application you'll see in your Heroku dashboard.
Heroku URL. Take the name of your Heroku application, and put it into URL form. For example, if you choose
my-ghost-blogas the app name, the Heroku URL config value needs to be
http://my-ghost-blog.herokuapp.com(no trailing slash). If you subsequently set up a custom domain for your blog, you'll need to update your Ghost blog's
HEROKU_URLenvironment variable accordingly.
S3 configuration. All the config fields begining with
S3_…are completely optional, and leaving them blank is totally fine. See the section below on file uploads for details.
File uploads
Heroku app filesystems aren't meant for permanent storage, so when it comes to file uploads for a Ghost blog deployed to Heroku, you have two options:
Configure S3 file storage. Create an S3 bucket on Amazon AWS, and then specify your
S3_ACCESS_SECRET_KEY, and
S3_BUCKET_NAMEas environment variables on Heroku's deployment page. Once your app is up and running, you'll be able to upload images via the Ghost UI and they'll be stored in Amazon S3. :sparkles:
Disable file uploads. Leave all the S3-related environment variable fields blank on Heroku's deployment page and file uploads will be disabled. Ghost will ask you for external URLs instead of allowing images to be uploaded. If you don't know what S3 is, this is the option you want.
ProTip™: You can start off with file uploads disabled, and specify all your S3 environment variables at a later stage. You aren't stuck with the decision you make on the original deploy. :grin:
How this works
This repository is essentially a minimal web application that specifies Ghost as a dependency, and makes a deploy button available.
If you have problems using your instance of Ghost, you should check the official documentation or open an issue on the official issue tracker. If you discover an issue with the deployment process provided by this repository, then open an issue here.
Released under the MIT license, just like the Ghost project itself.

Week 2 of MichiganTrackandField.com's Power Rankings showed a little shake-up in the men's top five with East Kentwood taking over the number one position. Last week's number one dropped to second and Ann Arbor Pioneer dropped to fifth. Williamson slides into fourth, while helping show the strength of division 2 schools. There are six new teams entering the rankings this week, with Ovid Elsie making the highest leap at the eighth spot. This was much in part to Maverick Darling's stellar week as he broke the 9:00 minute barrier in Williamston on May 10, 2008.
The women's side was much more stable at the top. Ann Arbor Pioneer maintained is hold on the top. Saline's girls made the biggest leap within the rankings, moving from twenty-fifth to twelfth this week. Rochester Adams is the highest ranked new team to the rankings at fourteenth.
With regionals coming up this week, we expect there to be many great performances and some more movement in the power rankings.

Long-Term Sea-Level Change Revisited: The role of salinity
Long-term sea-level change revisited: the role of salinity
Estimates of global mean sea-level changes are primarily driven by thermal expansion (thermosteric warming-driven ocean change) and mass contributions from the cryosphere. Regional sea-level change can also be caused by variations in ocean salinity that impact density and induce a local sea level variation. Although this "halosteric" effect is well established for short-term regional sea level variations, the impact of the halosteric effect on large-scale and long-term sea level changes has not been extensively investigated.
To investigate the role of salinity on sea level, we utilize two observed estimates of long-term (1950-2008) thermosteric and halosteric sea level changes in conjunction with a large suite of climate model simulations. We evaluate changes on successively larger scales and quantitatively compare the relative importance of salinity induced sea level changes to those resulting from temperature variations.
We find the spatial change patterns from two observational analyses yield very similar basin-scale features, although finer-scale patterns differ as a result of significant data sparsity. When the multi-model mean (MMM) is assessed, the basin-scale features are well replicated, however we note that inter-model differences are quite large. When we consider changes calculated to represent basin-scale features, we find that these changes are replicated by 22 of 26 Historical simulations, whereas the response from HistoricalNat simulations bears no resemblance to observed basin-scale estimates.
This suggests that changes found in observed estimates are due to anthropogenic influence, and that Historical simulations are reproducing the basin-scale processes that are driving observed changes. Observations and models suggest that ~25% of basin-scale sea level change can be accounted for due to the halosteric signal, and that these both mask (Atlantic) and enhance (Pacific) basin-scale warming signals.
This research provides evidence that halosteric sea level changes play a larger role than previously thought and cannot be excluded in future assessments of long-term sea level change.

The field of office supply often gets neglected, as many people consider financial management or sales as the most important part of their work process. However, in order to fully commit to a specific, preferred area of your business, you should first take time and sort things out in-house. One of the first steps you will have to undertake when doing this is effectively organizing your office supplies. This doesn't have to be a tedious task, you will probably need just one office supply closet, although this depends heavily on the size and specific needs of your company.
Inventory Build Up
One of the first things you'll need to do, in order to effectively organize your office supplies, is to purchase all necessary supplies suited for your business. Making a list of the office supplies you need, as well as taking stock of the supplies you already have, is a great first step to making. Checking and surveying your employees for what they need to perform their tasks with ease and efficiency will also be beneficial for this process. After you have made the list, you should keep it on hand, and edit it with new additions, but also remove the things you don't really use anymore, in order to maximize productivity.
Organizing Supplies
Organizing your office supplies is the next logical step you should undertake. This can be done by assigning an employee to sort out existing office supplies, clear the needed space in the office supply closet and create an arrangement for your supplies that is logical and uses the most of the space allocated for that purpose. That being said, you shouldn't shy away from using alternative storage spaces, if the initial space with that purpose gets full. Usability should play a big part in this, for example, placing paper near the printers.
Restocking Supplies
Restocking plays a major role in effective office supply organization, and you should make sure that you are making the orders in time, so you don't end up not having essential office supplies run out. You can do this by creating a simple, yet efficient, system that can be arranged either online or offline. You should also take some time and find out at what exact pace the office supplies are being used. This can be done to prevent employees from using office supplies for their personal needs, as well as limit paper use if you are considering going for the eco-friendly approach to using paper.
If you're looking to stock up your supply closet with quality office supplies, then you should definitely check out Crites & Riddell! Their reliable products and excellent customer service is why a large number of Canadians rely on their brand.

In March 2014, the Yale-NUS College Governing Board welcomed two distinguished members, Professor Sir Peter Crane, Carl W Knobloch Jr Dean at the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, Yale University, USA, and Mr Lam Yi Young, Deputy Secretary (Policy) (DSP) at the Ministry of Education (MOE), Singapore.
Professor Crane is known internationally for his work on the diversity of plant life – its origin, fossil history, current status, conservation and use. He received his BSc and PhD degrees in botany from the University of Reading, United Kingdoms (UK), and subsequently joined the faculty. Professor Crane also served as Director of the Field Museum in Chicago, overseeing the Museum's scientific programs, and established the Office of Environmental Programs and the Center for Cultural Understanding and Change at the Field Museum. From 1999 to 2006, he was the Director of The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, one of the largest, most prestigious gardens in the world. In 1998, Professor Crane was elected to the Royal Society – the UK academy of science. He was knighted in the UK for services to horticulture and conservation in 2004.
Professor Crane has been visiting Singapore for more than a decade, and has been an enthusiastic supporter of the Yale-NUS partnership from its inception.
"It is inspiring to see how far Yale-NUS College has already come in such a short period of time," he said. "I look forward to doing my part to make Yale-NUS College a unique community of learning that will pioneer and showcase the best of American liberal arts education in this part of the world. We live in a complex and interconnected world and I am deeply committed to the international ideals that are central to the founding vision of Yale-NUS."
Professor Crane currently serves on the Board of the Chicago Botanic Garden, the Field Museum in Chicago, the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center at the University of Texas, WWF-US, The Global Crop Diversity Trust, The Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies and the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation.
Mr Lam, who holds a Master of Arts in Engineering from the University of Cambridge and a Master in Public Administration from Harvard University, joined the Singapore Civil Service in 1996 and has served in the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Finance. Prior to his current position in the MOE, Mr Lam was Chief Executive of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore from 2009 to 2013, where he primarily developed and promoted Singapore as a premier global hub post and an international maritime centre, while advancing and safeguarding Singapore's maritime interests. As DSP in the MOE, Mr Lam oversees the development and implementation of education policies in support of the Ministry's mission to provide our children with a balanced and well-rounded education, develop them to their full potential, and nurture them into good citizens, conscious of their responsibilities to family, society and country.
Mr Lam sees Yale-NUS College as an exciting venture that is making a significant impact on the tertiary education scene in Singapore.
"I am very honoured to join the Yale-NUS College Governing Board and I look forward to working with fellow board members and staff and students of the College," Mr Lam said. "I am sure that with all the stakeholders working together, the College will grow from strength to strength and contribute significantly to Singapore."
Mr Lam also sits on the boards of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), CapitaCommercial Trust Management Limited, Dover Park Hospice, Education Fund Board of Trustees, Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, Singapore Institute of Technology, Singapore University of Technology and Design, and Yale-NUS College.
Yale-NUS College Governing Board
The Yale-NUS Governing Board consists of 12 members, six from Singapore and USA each, and is chaired by Mdm Kay Kuok, Executive Chairman of Shangri-La Hotel Limited, Singapore.

Patrick Macnee
Patrick Macnee, (Daniel Patrick Macnee), British actor (born Feb. 6, 1922, London, Eng.—died June 25, 2015, Rancho Mirage, Calif.), gained international fame as the quintessentially English intelligence agent John Steed, who fought dastardly evildoers armed with only a bowler hat, a rolled umbrella, and an abundance of witty repartee in the hit TV series The Avengers (1961–69) and its sequel, The New Avengers (1976–77). Macnee attended Eton College (he claimed to have been expelled for running a betting syndicate and selling pornography). He then enrolled in the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art. After Macnee completed his World War II service in the Royal Navy, he returned to his acting career, shifting back and forth between Britain, Canada, and the U.S., where in 1959 he became a citizen. In 1961 he was cast as the second lead in The Avengers, which was created as a straightforward adventure show. Following the departure of the lead actor, Ian Hendry, in 1962, Macnee was elevated to the starring role with a more-dapper persona (complete with Savile Row suits) and new sidekicks, notably actress Honor Blackman as the black-leather-clad Cathy Gale (1962–64). As the groundbreaking show's plots became increasingly fanciful and tongue-in-cheek, it gained cult status, especially with the arrival of Shakespearean actress Diana Rigg as Emma Peel (1965–68). Although the show was canceled in 1969, it retained its fan base, and in the slightly revamped sequel, Macnee returned as the still-debonair Steed with a new supporting cast. Although Macnee appeared in several films, most of his career was on TV and in the theatre, most notably as Andrew Wyke in Anthony Shaffer's comic thriller Sleuth on Broadway (1972–73), in London (1978), and on tour in the U.S. and Canada. He also wrote Avengers novels and co-wrote two memoirs, Blind in One Ear (1988) and The Avengers: The Inside Story (2008).

Take the 2019 State of SQL Server Monitoring Survey: Here's What's in It For You
Calling all Database Administrators, Developers, Analysts, Consultants, and Managers: Redgate has a survey open asking how you monitor your SQL Servers.
Take the survey before April 5, 2019.
Your time is valuable. The survey will take 5 – 10 minutes to complete. That's not a ton of time, but it's a noticeable part of your day, and there should be something in it for you. Here's why it's worthwhile to take the survey.
Database use patterns and monitoring trends are valuable to everyone in the community — and we've been missing out on this trend information!
This isn't the only survey from Redgate — you may also have heard of the annual State of Database DevOps Report.
But this survey is different in important ways: it asks how you manage and monitor your SQL Server database environment, regardless of whether you think about DevOps at all.
Redgate shared the results of the State of SQL Server Monitoring Survey with readers last year, and will do so again in 2019. 2018 was the first time we know of that a survey of this kind had been done, and it will be especially interesting to notice what has changed in the past year.
If you fill out the 2019 State of SQL Server Monitoring survey, you'll get an advance copy of the results by email
The results will help you understand:
What do other DBAs, Developers, and IT Professionals see as their biggest challenges over the coming year?
In last year's report the biggest challenges were seen as:
1. Migrating to the cloud
2. How to deploy changes faster to larger environments
3. Protecting data – especially for compliance reasons2018 State of SQL Server Monitoring Report
I'm curious to see if these priorities have changed after a year. With GDPR implementation having come to pass and more states and countries around the world passing increasing privacy regulations, I suspect that 'protecting data' may move up from number 3 on the list, but I won't know until we see the data.
How much time do your peers spend examining SQL Server health and resolving issues?
This is a great question on the survey — and I think this one is absolutely worth some reflection after you take the survey (and after the results come out). Do you spend more time firefighting than you should? If so, what ideas you have to change that?
At what point to most organizations move from manual monitoring to a third party tool?
If you work for a growing company and are interested in making the case to purchase monitoring to your management, it may be useful to know information like this…
Respondents with fewer than 10 servers were twice as likely to rely on manual monitoring as to use a paid-for tool. Those with 10 or more servers were more likely to use third-party software.2018 State of SQL Server Monitoring Report
Survey results will help you prioritize what to learn
Are you curious as to whether you should learn another database platform, such as MongoDB, Oracle, MySQL, Cosmos DB, or PostGres? The survey will show how much respondents report that they are using each platform, and whether they think the amount will increase or decrease.
Want to know whether you should invest time (and maybe ask for some budget) to explore cloud technologies like Azure Managed Instances, Azure SQL Database, or Amazon RDS? The survey will show how many of your peers are using each one.
Also, You Could Win Money
Everyone who completes the survey and provides their details at the end will be entered into a prize draw to win a $250 Amazon Voucher (or equivalent in your local currency).

[…] Kendra Little would like a few minutes of your time: […]
DBA AdminOctober 11, 2019 12:07 am
Hello Kendra Little,
We have aproximately 300 database servers with a total database size of 160TB and we would like to monitor all our SQL Server databases with a tool that won't bring additional load on servers.
We are considering Foglight for Cross-Platform Databases but also SolarWinds DPA tool.
The main issue we are facing with our current tool IDERA is that it brings additional load on the critical servers containing databases for our banking applications and causes slowness in performance.
In this regard, which tool do you advise for monitoring performance of SQL Server databases?
Have a nice day and thanks in advance
Apologies for the delay in responding, I didn't catch this comment when it first came in. Disclaimer: I currently work for a company that sells a monitoring tool. I don't feel like that influences my answer much, but just being clear. 🙂
For any monitoring tool, whether one you are purchasing from a vendor or writing yourself, there is going to be some overhead. In part, that's just because you need to query/poll the monitored database and record the information in an external repository, so that the monitoring can still work if the database/ instance / server is unavailable or so bogged down that it can't respond. That means that the monitoring tool needs to do things like poll perf counters, and query SQL Server dynamic management views. The more current / responsive you want the monitoring tool to be, the more frequently it will need to poll. The more detail you want about things for performance troubleshooting like execution plans or wait stats, the more information they will need to pull.
SQL Server is a quite mature database product, and vendors have been working in the monitoring space for years, so they are aware of this and try to strike a balance between the amount of polling they do against the instance and limiting the impact that polling the instance has. But this is an issue for EVERY vendor in the space, and there's not really a way around it.
If you do find a case where you believe monitoring is causing slowness, my first advice would be to work with the vendor and make sure that you've identified the root cause and reported it to them. They may have an adjustment they recommend you take. When evaluating other vendors, I do recommend first evaluating in a non-production environment, but then also evaluating in an environment with real load on it so you can get a sense of what the impact of the tool is, and also of course whether the features they offer fit your needs.

Jenny O'Sullivan (Boca Raton, Florida) -- My name is Jenny and I am the K-5 STEAM teacher at A.D. Henderson University School in Boca Raton, FL. As an elementary specialist, I have 18 classes. To avoid having my younger students type out their very long email addresses each time to log into Google Classroom on the STEAM Lab computers, I have assigned each student to a computer. My problem is that Google only saves 10 email addresses for quick login. Is there an extension, hack, or work around to allow us to save all 18 addresses for quick login?
Aimee from Nebraska: Loves AndThenIWasLike.co and has added some to her LMS. Happy we motivate her to pursue new ideas … had more teachers than students in the classroom to see what she's doing and that's partly due to us.

While cities around the world face many challenges, they also play a role in providing economic opportunity and bringing people of different backgrounds together. That was the primary topic of a panel discussion among past recipients of ULI's prestigious J.C. Nichols Prize for Visionaries in Urban Development in Kansas City, Missouri, for the J.C. Nichols Forum. But panelists said that city leaders and the real estate industry need to focus on providing affordable housing and promoting public policies and partnerships that can support it.
"Communities succeed best when they're diverse," said Peter Calthorpe, an award-winning San Francisco–based architect and pioneer of sustainable urban design globally who was awarded the Nichols Prize in 2006.
Bart Harvey, former chief executive officer (CEO) of Maryland-based affordable housing investment company Enterprise Community Partners and a 2008 Nichols Prize recipient, added: "So much of what happens today is economically driven. Without public policy, all affordable housing ends up going to the least common denominator, which is into blighted areas. If we are going to have a really inclusive society that works for everyone, you have to have a champion in the public sector who is going to set the policies and the framework in a way that really makes sense for everyone."
Harvey and Calthorpe were joined on the panel of Nichols laureates by Richard Baron, chairman of St. Louis community development firm McCormack Baron Salazar and a 2004 Nichols Prize recipient; Gerald Hines, chairman of Houston-based developer Hines and a 2002 Nichols Prize winner; Joseph Riley Jr., major of Charleston, South Carolina, from 1975 until earlier this year and the first recipient of the Nichols Prize in 2000; and Peter Walker, a renowned Los Angeles–based landscape architect and 2012 Nichols Prize winner. The group's dialogue about public and private sector roles in real estate was moderated by Paul Goldberger, a contributing editor at Vanity Fair and an acclaimed architecture critic who won the 1984 Pulitzer Prize for Distinguished Criticism.
J.C. Nichols, a founding member of ULI in the 1930s, was considered a visionary for developing the first automobile-centered shopping center, the Country Club Plaza, and for master planning neighborhoods with diverse but interconnected land uses ranging from apartments and single-family homes to schools, parks, and retail—hallmarks of what today is considered compact, walkable "new urbanism."
Harvey noted that ULI's initial Nichols-inspired Community Builders Handbook in 1947 promoted a mixture of housing types and the importance of public, shared spaces—the "public realm." Over the post–World War II decades, however, factors ranging from zoning codes to discriminatory practices led, in many places, to sprawl and separate land sites for different housing types, parks, shopping, and the like. Along the way, lower-income housing became concentrated only in urban centers, keeping those tenants entrenched in areas suffering economic neglect.
But the Nichols laureates pointed to a few examples over the years in which the public sector guided private developers to more socially equitable solutions. One was the federal government's HOPE VI housing program, which replaced some of the nation's worst public housing projects with mixed-income single-family and townhouse developments, designed to be pedestrian friendly and transit accessible and often located outside blighted neighborhoods. The program ran from 1992 to 2010 and produced 107,800 new or renovated housing units, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
"It was a wonderful experiment to show what you could do for income inequality," Harvey said.
Another example cited was Baltimore's ongoing 20-year, $1.8 billion facelift of an 88-acre (36 ha) neighborhood of rowhouses, known as Middle East by its African American residents, just north of Johns Hopkins University's downtown medical campus. It is a Hopkins-led public/private partnership to add a biotech park for the university as well as create mixed-income housing and a new neighborhood school.
Walker has worked across the United States on such projects involving city/university partnerships and has found that "there's a shared responsibility for making cities better," he said.
Baron added: "The big challenge is about social equity, and where these things collide is when universities and medical centers carve out areas they can control and start to invest tens of millions of dollars. . . . But the challenge is really how those efforts connect with issues of inequality."
While the role of real estate development in battling urban inequality dominated the laureates' 90-minute gathering, the group did have a wide-ranging discussion that touched on a variety of other urban real estate issues, including privatization of public spaces, the possible rise of driverless cars, and emerging smart infrastructure, among others. But in the end, when the panel was asked what "one thing" they could change about cities, the need for social justice stood out. Just about every panelist answered with hope for urban schools and/or affordable housing.
As Riley noted optimistically at one point, "We're working on it."

Outdoor photoshoot
I'd recently tagged along with a fellow hobbyist photographer on one of his assignments. He was supposed to do a post-wedding photoshoot for a couple. The experience was new and good from a learning perspective, although I'm not sure whether it's my kind of thing.
However, not my thing by no means implies that it's easy. I think this was the first time that I was even thinking about things like lighting, angle, focus, etc etc. Not that I did much about it 😀
Anyway, one of his friends had also come along to help, and was more than willing to pose in front of my idle camera. Posting the results. And yes, the model is Parul Jerath 🙂

I call upon the current Mayor and council to support this park & ride lot and bring it to operation. I did have separate discussions with some members of the current village council on January 9, and asked both to negotiate smart on HRSR (I am confident that these council members will) as well as to keep in mind that the price set on the park & ride lot at HRSR will set a precedent for this lot as it risks setting set a corresponding price too large for Palmetto Bay to be able to afford (they were well on this point).
|Photo edit credit declined
This is a vision of what could be
I never, never, understood why Miami-Dade County Transit has never obtained this lot for use in transit (I'm sure they have their reasons - funding maybe?). I believe that this is one piece of property, one project, where Palmetto bay is forced to step up on where the County has not. How many drivers choose to cut through Palmetto Bay, through the neighborhood streets, creating much of the congestion that cause many drivers to divert into the neighborhood to avoid?
This Banyan Street lot is critical for the future of Palmetto Bay neighborhoods. A few points:
- This lot is large, so hundreds of cars can park there.
- It is actually on the bus line, so you walk to the bus for a pick up every 6 minutes (or the schedule for the time of day).
- Palmetto Bay commuters drive out of our village, not through it to reach transit.
- This lot is located in a location that actually discourages cut through traffic in Palmetto Bay.
- How many vehicles would be removed from roads running through Palmetto Bay (particularly 87th Avenue) if this lot was opened for commuters who would now have added incentives to ..., ready? To actually 'park & ride'.
- This lot would be of great benefit to those living at or north of 211 Street in or west of Cutler Bay (the next large metrotransit park & ride lot).
The photo, above left, is unaltered. I circled the actual transit stop in the photo to the above right in order to document how the transit stop is actually connected/adjacent to the large parking lot. No interim ride, no addition IBus trip, is required to reach transit.
This lot could also serve as a stop for a south leg of another IBus route, bringing residents from south of 168th from Palmetto Bay neighborhoods to County Transit.
Final negotiations with the Manager remains ongoing (assuming this new council is supportive of this lot that we began work on in 2018). I have no update as to where it stands, if it is still standing at all. This project needs to close successfully sooner, rather than later, for the good of Palmetto Bay.
Whether efforts continue on this project deserves a public discussion at the very least. This was a project that I was personally looking forward to completing and opening. I call upon the current mayor and council to not lose this lot and assist the Manager to bring this lot to completion.
Thank you.

Musical duo Radnor and Lee performed for a receptive crowd of all ages at A&R Music Bar on Sunday.
The pair, which consists of Josh Radnor, well known for his playing the role of Ted Mosby in "How I Met Your Mother," and Ben Lee, a successful career musician from Australia, are long-time friends. The Columbus show is one of three on this le of their tour.
The first song the pair performed was "You Can't Fire Me, I Quit," which immediately had me smiling and bobbing my head.
Their playful onstage banter right after showed how much these two get along as both friends and musicians. Their clear and defined harmonies also showed how much work they have put into their music and songwriting.
A notable moment was when Radnor –– a Columbus native –– directed Lee to show the crowd something he had just taught him. Lee didn't catch on, so Radnor ended up showing the crowd himself. "O-H" Radnor cried, and of course, the response came right back to him: "I-O!"
Everyone knows Radnor as an actor, but he blew me away with his musical talents. His voice was strong, and he even sported an acoustic guitar for a few songs. He mentioned how he started learning only three years ago, and now he plays guitar on stage. He was confident in a way that made me believe he has been doing this most of his life.
Lee, who is a career musician, also showed off his talents with his upper harmonies, incredible falsetto and intricate vocal runs. At one point, Radnor stood in support as Lee performed his early 2000s hit "Catch My Disease," which the crowd loved and sang right back to him.
A song I really connected with was "Wider Spaces," which Radnor described as being about "trying something new." He said the lyrics are inspired by a poem by Hermann Hesse; one lyric reads: "The great unknown seeks not to restrain us, but leads us to wider spaces" –– something that definitely hit hard for me as I prepare to graduate next weekend.
Radnor and Lee's music and lyrics are unlike anything I have ever heard. They are optimistic, honest and beautifully written in a way that proves that two is better than one.
Before Radnor and Lee graced the stage, opening act Daniel Dye and the Miller Road Band performed. A family band from the Columbus area, it was armed with two banjos, a harmonica, a bass and a fiddle.
Each song the four-piece act played told a story. One was about what Dye overheard while working at a prison and another was about how Dye's hometown of Springfield, Ohio, is the "Saddest City in the USA." They were good, and definitely added to the overall good mood of the show.

Living in an area with a high concentration of Christians whose religion is only slightly less restrictive than the Amish faith, it was refreshing to be surrounded by people celebrating the Hindu holiday of, well, Holi Day.
Lathmar Holi, also known as the "Festival of Color," has been going on in other parts of the world for around 5000 years. But according to the coverage presented by our local Fox affiliate, the Lotus Temple in Spanish Fork, Utah is the only place where the Festival of Colors is celebrated in the United States.
Too bad for the rest of you non-Utah people because it was awesome.
This was our first excursion, the Kid and I. I'd passed the Hari Krishna Temple last fall on our way to Moab, and it's a beautiful building.
Situated on a hill surrounded by farmland, cars were parked on the side of the main road for miles. With my penchant for being early, we got a great spot across the street and only paid $5 to park. Being from Chicago, I can tell you that $5 to park in the middle of some dude's cow pasture is a hella deal.
So that was a win, and we didn't have to wait in line very long to buy the colored chalk-like powder you throw in the air, and at people, and on stuff… And sometimes you just rub it in someone's hair. And the powder is also scented, which is good, because if most of the other people were like us, they also eschewed their daily shower until they got home, knowing they'd be covered. What we didn't know was how hard it would be to breathe while the throwing is going on and next year we will make sure we do the following:
Wear a bandanna and sunglasses.
White and black clothes bring out the brightness of the colors.
Cover your camera in plastic wrap.
Bring someone you love.
In other news, Zita, the most recent foster cat, found her forever home this weekend with a friend of mine. We met while volunteering for Sundance, share the same initials, and worked on a movie together a few years back. She saw the kitty on Facebook, decided to visit her at an adoption event, and fell in love. She is both pleased and astonished at Zita's tenacious personality and is happy to be able to give her a forever home. However, our big fluffy white dog Luna, who thought the cat was her pet, has been searching for Zita for two days now.
But she'll get over it.
My short, Splitting The Difference is available from Amazon.com and everyone who purchases a copy between now and December 2012 gets a free Mayan Calendar!*
*Not really. Have you any idea how much shipping would be? Those puppies are made of stone. Plus if you liked it you wouldn't be able to get another one for 2013 because the World's supposed to end.

Laura Butler is tired of tech being portrayed as a horror story. Instead, she believes it to be a romance.
This is the narrative Butler, a distinguished engineer at Microsoft, told a room full of Penn students on Tuesday night. Having stumbled upon the technology field accidentally in the 1980s, Butler gave her perspective on why technology is great not only for a single population but for everyone.
"Why are misfits perfect for tech?" Butler said. "Innovation by definition is a deviation from the normal and standards."
Butler is a self-proclaimed misfit, and her unique habits like baking cookies for employees have helped her become a successful and memorable leader in the company. Butler said she currently oversees a team of about 170 employees and supervises another 1,700 people.
Engineering junior Cristina Buenahora said that when she was supposed to determine a campus speaker as a part of being Microsoft's campus ambassador, Butler was her first pick. While interning at Microsoft last summer, Buenahora said she found Butler inspiring during a women tech talk.
"She is one of those people that is really inspiring because she has done so much to get where she is, and she is so loved," Buenahora said. "She loves what she does, and you can tell."
Needing an internship, Butler began interning for Microsoft in 1989 after first thinking she was being offered an internship from Goldman Sachs. A Harvard University undergraduate at the time, Butler ultimately dropped out of the university to pursue her new passion for Microsoft.
"I thought, 'I am getting paid for what I love to do,'" Butler said. "Whereas over there I was paying for a crappy service."
For Butler, technology is all about solutions and the tools to achieve them.
"Time and quality of life are the most precious things in life," Butler said. "The point of all this tech is life, and the best way to make tech is to live."
From 2000 to 2006, Butler took a break from working to become what she called a world traveler. She went on adventure hiking and took circus and improv classes.
"She is kind of a powerhouse," College freshman and event attendee Audrey Liu said. "You don't meet a lot of people like that."
In her spare time, Butler also jots down ideas for inventions and businesses in a notebook, some of which she shared with the crowd. She also gave students her top life and career advice.
"Try a bunch of stuff," Butler said when interning. "It is like a buffet."
By taking the time to explore interests, Butler said, you discover who you really are. She added that she believes this is essential to success.
"The idea that there is overnight success in tech is completely wrong. It cuts science short," Butler said. "The easiest way to be really successful is to be yourself."Comments powered by Disqus

The Table Mission
Family meals are opportunities for spreading the faith
By Jason Godin
For many adults aged 18 to 59, the anguish of Ash Wednesday isn't in the reminder that we're all returning to dust after death. It relates more to the table for the day – having only one full meal as well as abstaining from meat. Especially in the developed world, the culture tells us that indulgence is a sign of success, and going with less is for losers. We're told that seeking self-restraint and seeing sacrifice as a worthy discipline are both tasks too much to ask, especially when it involves food.
The season of Lent is the perfect period, one might say, to turn the tables on such culinary laments. It is an invitation to look beyond what you can't eat to where you eat and, just as importantly, with whom you eat. It offers days to travel to the frontiers of the most fertile mission territory of your faith: the family dinner table.
Referring to the place where you ordinarily eat as missionary ground may appear a bit of a stretch. It is understandable and appropriate, after all, to appreciate saints like Damien, Francis Xavier and Patrick as truer missionaries. But consider: when you and your family members bow their heads before eating, you all ask for the grace of God's blessing. Together you acknowledge the food and drink before you are really bountiful gifts given by him through his Son. In their efforts to spread the Good News, do you think Damien did any different in Hawaii, Francis Xavier in India and Japan, or Patrick in Ireland?
Recall also the character of countless faith encounters during meals. Many families have had a friend or one of its members, curious about what Catholics believe and why, ask a question as a platter was passed. The answer undoubtedly arrived after an awkward silence. It probably challenged the parties gathered to see the moment as more than a potential spark for conflict. Like missionaries, it was a time that required courage and sacrifice, to move outside the comforts of selfishness in order to begin breaking down the barriers of misunderstanding and ignorance found within us all.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that the laity are part of the mission of the Church to go and "make disciples of all nations … teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:19-20). The Lord's mandate requires patient proclamation (cf. CCC, 854). It is a path that takes form among millions of peoples, in a variety of places and in many different ways. Above all it seeks unity through a "respectful dialogue with those who do not yet accept the Gospel," a conversation designed "to consolidate, complete, and raise up the truth and goodness that God has distributed among men and nations, and to purify them from error and evil" (CCC, 856, italics in original).
You don't need to go too far to travel in mission territory. You simply need to sit and talk at the family dinner table. It is the place for you to persuade the people you love about the way, truth and life (cf. John 14:6) that nourishes us all.
Jason Godin is associate editor of Fathers for Good.

Quality Management is considered to be suitable as support forthe integration of sustainability considerations in areas such as productdevelopment. The purpose of this paper is to review research in whichQuality Management methods, tools or practices have been used inconjunction with sustainable development initiatives. We have identifiedfour themes that synthesize the research on Quality Management and itssupport to approaches for sustainable development: (1) supportingsustainability through integration of management systems, (2) QualityManagement as support to the implementation of Environmental ManagementSystems and to the management of sustainability, (3) supportingintegration of sustainability considerations in daily work, and (4)supporting stakeholder management and customer focus. By far the mostresearch has been conducted within the first two themes. This paper alsocontributes with proposals for future research, such as the need to movebeyond existing standards and management systems to enable more radicalimprovements, and the need for empirical evidence of the effect ofintegrated management systems on environmental performance. We alsohighlight the point that Quality Management practices and tools must bedeveloped and adapted in order to support sustainability considerations.
