Macy's 1 ReviewsMy favorite place to shop for clothing
Macy's is a great place to shop when they're having their big sales. I get alot of compliments on outfits I purchase from Macy's. I don't like the layout of the Dunwoody store - they changed it last year and it's very disorganized. There are racks of clearance items all over the store and it's very messy.
Target 2 ReviewsCant go wrong with Target!
No matter where you are, if you find a Target, most likely it's going to be the same as all the others.. Awesome. I love Target, I choose it over Walmart 100% of the time.
The Vineyard Wine Store, Wine Bar - Mari 1 ReviewsGreat Wines, Great Host, Great Atmosphere!
Such a great place to try out new wines and get educated about wine. The host is very knowledgeable and entertaining. The atmosphere is down to earth. Such a great community find, it's just down the block from us and look forward to visiting very soon.
Nordstrom Perimeter Mall 6 ReviewsTop-Notch Service!
I had bought my wife a Fendi watch on sale from their website and, after she wore it for several months, a small piece (the inside of the "D") on the side fallen out. She called the Perimeter location and asked if they could do anything. The young lady on the phone offered the choice of a complete refund or she could personally send it back to Fendi and handle the warranty repair. My wife loved the watch, so we opted for the second choice. Nordstrom handled the watch at no charge and called back after about a month to let us know it was returned fixed. Absolutely great service.
Marshalls 3 ReviewsGood Store
Great store with name brand clothing for discounted prices. I go to this store all the time. I really like their purses. Highly recommended.

Executive Councilor Raymond Burton, fighting cancer, will not seek reelectionBy DOUG ALDEN
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 27. 2013 7:33PM
Executive Councilor Raymond S. Burton says his cancer has returned and he will not seek re-election next year.
Burton issued a statement Sunday saying he has been in and out of the hospital for treatment recently and plans to return to his home in Bath to rest. He plans to fulfill his terms on both the Executive Council and Grafton County Commission, which run through 2014.
Burton has served as executive councilor for most of the northern half of the state for 35 years.
"I wish to thank my fellow residents of New Hampshire for giving me the privilege to serve them," Burton said in his statement. "All decisions and matters addressed were always in the best intention to see our state succeed. I am honored to have been allowed to serve and work to make a difference in the Granite State."
Burton, 74, underwent chemotherapy for kidney cancer in February and March. He said in April that scans showed no signs of cancer around his kidney and he planned to run for re-election in 2014 and again in 2016.
Concerns about his health resurfaced this month when Burton, who rarely missed a meeting, participated by phone during the Executive Council meeting Oct. 16.
In a statement distributed Sunday by B.J. Perry, a veteran within the state GOP and advisor to the councilor, Burton confirmed that his cancer had returned.
"I've had the privilege of working for nearly four years with Councilor Burton," Perry told the New Hampshire Union Leader on Sunday. "In that time I've worked very hard to try to work as hard as he has in doing everything. Today was probably the toughest statement I've ever had to send out for him."
First elected to the Executive Council in 1976, Burton is known throughout the state and well beyond the vast area of Council District 1, which extends from the Canadian border to the Lakes Region and west to the Claremont area and Upper Valley.
"Public service is a labor of love for Councilor Burton, who has established an unmatched record of achievement," U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte said in a statement. "I am deeply saddened by his announcement. No one has fought harder for his constituents than Ray, who has been a passionate and tireless voice for the North Country for decades."
Ayotte said she worked closely with Burton and grew to know him well during her years as attorney general.
"He always did his homework, always asked tough questions and carried in his heart the best interests of his district and our state," the Republican said in a statement.
Former Gov. John H. Sununu also issued a statement shortly after Burton's announcement, asking all New Hampshire residents to keep the state's longest-serving elected official in their thoughts and prayers.
"I was always impressed with his dedication and deep commitment to his constituents," said Sununu, who served three terms as governor. "No one has done more to stand up for the North Country than Ray, and his institutional knowledge and bipartisan leadership will be missed on the Executive Council."
Current Gov. Maggie Hassan also issued a statement thanking Burton for his decades of "unmatched" public service to the state.
"I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside Councilor Burton and I deeply appreciate his invaluable knowledge and deep commitment to the Granite State," Hassan said.
Burton lost only one bid for re-election to the Executive Council, in 1978. He regained his seat in the 1980 campaign and has served on the state council ever since, picking up the nickname "Burton for Certain."
Burton established his reputation and a personal connection with his constituents by attending most any event he could. Even during his chemotherapy, Burton had someone represent him when his health wouldn't allow it.
"Every event I get an invitation to is covered," Burton said in April.
Jennifer Horn, chairwoman of the state GOP, said it was difficult to imagine an Executive Council without Ray Burton.
"There will never be another public servant like Councilor Ray Burton," Horn said. "He is simply irreplaceable and his difficult decision is an enormous loss for our state. New Hampshire is thankful for his outstanding service and our thoughts and prayers are with him during these trying times."
Democratic Congresswoman Annie Kuster described Burton as "a fixture of governance and service in New Hampshire since I was a young girl." "Ray's kindness, compassion, and commitment will set the bar for generations of public servants to come," Kuster said in a written statement. "We send our deep appreciation and abiding affection to Ray. Our thoughts and prayers join thousands more across the state, wishing him well in his recovery."email@example.com

(My memory's not so good…this was the TUF 8 lightweight final, right?)
If you put together a list of the most successful Ultimate Fighter winners in the show's history, TUF 8's Efrain Escudero would definitely not be on that list. "Hecho in Mexico" has already bounced out of the promotion twice: First in 2010 when he blew weight by four pounds before a submission loss to Charles Oliveria, then in 2012 when he suffered back-to-back decision losses to Jacob Volkmann and Mac Danzig.
MMAFighting reported yesterday that Escudero will have a third crack at Octagon success, as he's been brought back to fight Francisco "Massaranduba" Trinaldo at UFC Fight Night 51: Bigfoot vs. Arlovski 2, September 13th in Brasilia, Brazil. Trinaldo is a TUF Brazil 1 vet with a 4-3 official record in the UFC. He last competed at UFC 173, where he was dominated by Michael Chiesa en route to a decision loss.
Escudero most recently competed in May, where he TKO'd a person named Juha-Pekka Vainikainen in Sweden to win Superior Challenge's lightweight belt. Before that, he lost a decision to former film-actor Dakota Cochrane, a guy who couldn't even make it into the house on The Ultimate Fighter: Live. In other words, Escudero is currently riding a one-fight win streak.
The UFC needs as many warm bodies as it can get these days, which might explain Escudero's new UFC contract. Will the re-signing of Travis Lutter be far behind? (Yes, yes, I know Lutter is retired, but I just couldn't resist making a joke that lazy.)

NJBiz Reports: Adventure Aquarium to add 25-story observation tower ride to Camden waterfront
From just about any vantage point at Camden's Adventure Aquarium, the view of the Philadelphia skyline is unmatched.
But a plan announced today by the aquarium to build a 25-story observation tower ride on the waterfront aims to make it even better.
"It's a tremendous view," state Sen. Donald Norcross (D-Audubon) said today. "Imagine it 300 feet higher."
Slated to open in the spring of 2015, the Skyview Tower could potentially do just that.
The tower will run 10 months out of the year, carrying approximately 30 people at a time in an open-air gondola setting. Camden County freeholder Ed McDonnell estimated that the tower will attract between 150,000 to 175,000 visitors per year.
Though part of the aquarium, rides will also be available for purchase as a stand-alone attraction. Ticket prices have not yet been determined.
Kevin Keppel, executive director of aquarium parent company Herschend Family Entertainment, said the tower will create a "signature experience" for visitors to the Philadelphia area.
"We absolutely are sure that it's going to be an incredibly popular attraction for people visiting the region and we are excited to bring it on-line," Keppel said.
With a $5 million budget, the tower will be completely privately funded, Keppel said. British startup Skyview will be building the attraction and work is expected to begin next year.
Keppel attributed the announcement of the tower plan, which officials said has been five years in the making, to "unprecedented enthusiasm and growth potential" in Camden as well as the recent passing of the Economic Opportunity Act, the state's new corporate incentives bill.
Norcross said particularly because of Camden's designation as an Urban Growth Zone under the legislation, the tower project is an example of private industries now taking a look at the city as a "good investment."
With his residence nearby, Norcross said he's previously boasted to his grandchildren about being near the aquarium. Now, he said, he gets to add to his arsenal.
"After today, poppy's going to have the Skyview in his backyard," Norcross joked.
Mayor Dana Redd was also on-hand this afternoon and noted that this type of project strengthens Camden's identity as a tourist destination and fits the bill of the "two cities, one waterfront" concept that she holds with Philadelphia mayor Michael Nutter.

While the Moto2 and Moto3 riders finish up their test at Valencia, on the other side of the world, the World Superbike and World Supersport riders are beginning the final run in to the season opener in 10 days' time.
They started today with the first of two days of private testing, the first chance the riders get to see the resurfaced Phillip Island track. The overall reaction to the new surface was very positive, though the lack of rubber on the track caused a spot of mayhem in the morning, with several riders crashing out.
Fastest man of the day was Eugene Laverty on the factory Aprilia, the Irishman circulating at lap record pace, but still a second off the pole record. Leon Camier put the Fixi Suzuki into 2nd spot, ahead of the Pata Hondas of Johnny Rea and Leon Haslam, while Marco Melandri ended the day in 5th. Carlos Checa did not ride, as the 2011 World Champion was suffering with a stomach bug.

A ruling party in power for over two decades in Guyana faces off in general elections Monday against a new coalition of opposition parties that accuse President Donald Ramotar's government of mismanagement and corruption.
Ramotar's People's Progressive Party has been in power since 1992 and is seeking a sixth consecutive term leading the sparsely populated country on South America's northern shoulder with an economy dependent on the export of commodities such as gold, bauxite, rice and sugar.
"Our record speaks for itself," Ramotar told a rally of supporters over the weekend, touting various improvements to infrastructure and education.

Next in the Castellani's "Western New York Collects" series will feature works by Josh Iguchi
The Castellani Art Museum of Niagara University is featuring works by Josh Iguchi in the second installment of its new series, "Western New York Collects." People who attend the opening reception from 2-4 p.m. on Sunday, March 24, will have an opportunity to meet the artist and hear him talk about his work. "Western New York Collects: Josh Iguchi" runs through July 21.
Western New York Collects is a new exhibition series that highlights the work of a diverse range of visual artists with Western New York connections who have gained significant national and international recognition. Selected from Western New York collections, both public and private, this ongoing series also honors the role of local collectors in creating an enduring artistic legacy for this region. Its goal is to reveal the varied, but always vital, relationships between artists and collectors.
Iguchi states that his work explores "traditional Catholic iconography as it may appear in a contemporary context. Today, religious services can be piped in via satellite, and a week of prayer is advertised in supermarket tabloids. Although this may seem to trivialize religion, it is important because it shows how religion has adapted itself to modern venues of communication. It also shows how religion may have the capacity to change to meet the needs of people today."
The artist's work incorporates modern devices like neon lighting and contemporary objects such as furniture and clothing, which are used together with poses and gestures drawn from religious renaissance paintings. The result is a combination of the grandeur of historical religious paintings with contemporary media-driven religious imagery. Iguchi adds, "Assimilating current ideas, materials and techniques to represent traditional imagery sets up an irony that plays with our conventions and expectations."
Dr. Amelia Gallagher, associate professor of religious studies at Niagara University, writes: "Josh Iguchi ... seems to treat his religious subjects gently, if not reverently. ... Iguchi's figures seem almost nostalgic - harking back to scenes of the old masters - scenes of salvation and saintly sacrifice. The iconic scenes are familiar to any student of the Renaissance, and Iguchi referenced Caravaggio in his statements on these works, achieving a chiaroscuro by the light of an unearthly electric glow. They are shocking to us, nonetheless, because of their placement in the ordinary."
Iguchi was co-director (in conjunction with AnJanette Brush) of Big Orbit Gallery in Buffalo from 1993-96. With a number of well-received and supported landmark exhibitions, Iguchi and Brush transformed Big Orbit into a reputable Buffalo arts organization.
After leaving Buffalo in 1996, Iguchi moved to Chicago, where he established his career in custom photographic printing for clients including major fashion companies and the Chicago Bulls. He later relocated to New York City to manage Ralph Lauren's in-house photo lab. After several years, Iguchi moved, within Ralph Lauren, to a position outsourcing production for in-store and showroom artwork. With 15 years experience with the Ralph Lauren Corp., his current title is director of photographic and graphic services. Iguchi currently resides in Stamford, Conn., with his wife, Laura Di Gioia, and their daughter, Josephine.
The Castellani Art Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free. For more information about "Western New York Collects: Josh Iguchi," contact Michael Beam, curator of collections and exhibitions, at 716-286-8286, or visit http://www.castellanimuseum.org.

WATERWORLD: Jean Paul Gaultier, who has dressed bottles of Piper-Heidsieck Champagne in snug red corsets, is now turning his subversive sensibility to mineral water. Word has it the couturier has been tapped to design a limited edition bottle for Evian.

PARIS, DENMARK: Copenhagen may witness celebrity scenes to rival Paris and New York during the Danish capital's fashion week, which starts on Wednesday. Paris Hilton, who's once again in the news since presidential candidate John McCain used her image in his latest ad, is in town shooting a campaign for her bags and accessories line and is expected to attend several runway shows. On Friday, meanwhile, Denmark native Helena Christensen will host Swedish designer brand Odd Molly's runway show. The model is the face of the bohemian label's spring collections, and is set to shoot the campaign with photographer Yelena Yemchuk later this week.
MUSEUM AS LOCKER ROOM: As sportswear brands gear up to showcase their latest wares in action at the Beijing Olympic Games later this week, London's Victoria & Albert museum is looking at the way sport and fashion have intertwined in recent years.
Fashion V Sport, which opens today, charts sport's role in fabric innovation, displaying Comme des Garçons' collaboration with Speedo on the LAZR swimsuit as a recent example. It also looks at sport as a uniform that allows the wearer to both blend in and stand out from a crowd and how sports paraphernalia often inspires obsessive collecting, displaying a clutch of rare Nike and Adidas sneakers in a glass case. Indeed, the show exhibits plenty of luxurious pieces alongside the practical, such as a blue sequined Chanel wet suit-style jacket from the house's spring 1991 collection, a gleaming Paul Smith bicycle and a Chanel fishing rod displayed in its own quilted leather case. "It goes beyond what people want as a fishing rod, but it's a fully functional piece, you can go fishing with it," assured Ligaya Salazar, the exhibition's curator. "We wanted to look at where fashion meets function, and some fashion designers have almost embraced sports design," she added, pointing out a draped Yohji Yamamoto Y3 jersey dress as a sports piece that stands alone as a fashion item. "Looking at the folds and cuts, it's something quite amazing."
And to give visitors a complete sporting experience, artist Sissel Tolaas has — using chemicals — re-created the scent of human bodies, which is then piped through the exhibition space. The museum said it hopes the scent will "reinject the human body into the exhibition space." The exhibition runs through Jan. 4.

Sporting slam Dier's father and representative
Sporting Lisbon have criticised the father and representative of Eric Dier for forcing through a move to Premier League side Tottenham.
Tottenham confirmed on Thursday that a deal had been agreed with the England Under-21 international defender, with the move set to be sealed upon the completion of a medical.
Primeira Liga outfit Sporting have subsequently revealed that Dier was offered the chance to stay, but the club were forced to accept a €5million offer from Tottenham as it met a release clause put in place by previous owners.
"Sporting Clube de Portugal announces that during [July] the club started negotiations with Eric Dier over the renewal of his contract," read a statement on Sporting's official website.
"Unexpectedly, Sporting, SAD was confronted by the player's father and official representative with a bid from Tottenham Hotspur, with that bid activating a clause agreed by previous boards of directors for the sale of the player for an amount of €5million or more, unless the personal terms offered as part of the bid are matched.
"Due to the club's current salary policy, the respective balance within the squad and the on-going financial restructuring underway at the club, it was not possible to match the proposed terms.
"Furthermore, Sporting, SAD was also informed that the player did not want to remain with the club even on equal terms and that any equal or improved personal terms would not have been accepted.
"In light of the above, Sporting, SAD announces the complete sale of the economic rights of the player Eric Dier to Tottenham Hotspur for €5milion, without any future rights relative to the player.
"Despite the above mentioned events, Sporting, SAD wishes Eric Dier all the best in his career."
Dier moved to Sporting's youth academy at the age of 10 and played 13 league games last season after making his first-team debut in August 2012.
He will become Tottenham's third signing under new head coach Mauricio Pochettino following the arrivals of Ben Davies and Michel Vorm from Swansea City.

The Randolph County Ambulance District board approved an agreement to bring a medical transport helicopter base to Moberly last night (Tuesday, Dec. 10).
The ground lease agreement was with Air Evac EMS, Inc., for the approximately one and a half acres located at 1409 East 24 Hwy., in Moberly.
Air Evac is an air ambulance company based out of West Plains, Mo. They were founded in 1985, and currently operate 113 bases in 15 states across the country. They have a 1.6 million-member circuit, which requires a $65-per-year-per-household payment for said membership.
They operate 206- and 407-model Bell helicopters, and employ approximately 350 registered nurses and 350 paramedics nationwide.
Representatives from Air Evac and from Columbia's Staff For Life (which currently provides medical air transport for the area) were both present at the meeting Tuesday, to state their case in regards to the matter.
Staff representative Dr. Jeff Coughenour, an acute care surgeon with University of Missouri Health Care, and a former Moberly High School student, pointed out that his helicopters carried blood and ultrasound equipment, and that they were working on carrying plasma in the future.
"I believe that a helicopter is a helicopter is a helicopter," he said. "But it does matter what is inside it."
Coughenour asked that the board consider his product's quality over its proximity, responding to questions regarding past attempts to get Staff For Life to build a base within Randolph County, and his company's denial of such.
"I do not have a helicopter in my back pocket, and I won't," he said. "Expansion here, just because it's 30 minutes down the road, probably won't happen. Further north, probably."
He conceded that having an aircraft in the county would do wonders for response time in cases of traumatic injury, but, again, asked the board to consider the services his company offers that Air Evac does not, adding that his company's services would always be right down the road, regardless of the boards decision.
Air Evac representatives noted that they believed their staff to be "just as well-trained" as the Staff For Life's, but added that Staff was a great company in its own right, and they Air Evac does not, in fact, carry blood within their helicopters.
The lease agreement notes that Air Evac "plans, but is not required" to construct or install a 30-foot by 50-foot steel hangar building, a 40-foot by 40-foot concrete helipad, and an above-ground jet fuel system with steel containment "all in accordance with applicable codes." They are responsible for utilities, and will be provided with no less than $1 million insurance for personal injury, including death, and $1 million property damage by the Randolph County Ambulance District.
Such is a five-year lease, with options to pick up two additional five-year terms (for a grand total of 15 years). Rent payments will be paid by the first day of each month, 12 times per year, with annual totals ranging from $15,000-$16,882.68 in the first term, from $17,389.20-$19,571.64 in the second term, and from $20,158.80-$22,689 in the third term.
The board unanimously agreed to such by voice vote.
"This has been a dream of mine for 15 years," said RCAD board president Darrel Hansen, at the item's agenda conclusion. "And it is finally coming true."
Helicopters coming to Randolph County
The Randolph County Ambulance District board approved an agreement to bring a medical transport helicopter base to Moberly last night (Tuesday, Dec. 10).

Mapo tofu is a Chinese dish made with tofu and ground meat in a spicy bean sauce. I first made mapo tofu a few months ago and it quickly became one of my favorite dishes. This recipe is easy to make and super tasty. I really like the flavour of the fermented black bean sauce. You can make this dish as spicy as you want by adding or removing chili sauce. The tofu adds a nice contrasting texture and it seems to be almost cool and refreshing compared to the spiciness of the rest of the dish.
Mapo Tofu
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon black bean sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili sauce (such as sambal oelek)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons chicken stock
- 1 pound firm tofu (cut into 1/2 inch cubes)
- 1 bunch green onions (chopped)
- Brown pork in an pan and drain fat.
- Heat the oil in the pan.
- Add the garlic and ginger and saute in the oil for a minute.
- Add black bean paste, chili sauce, soy sauce, and chicken stock and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning.
- Add the tofu and cook until the tofu is warm. (Stir gently so as to not break the tofu.)
- Serve and garnish with green onion.

Hinckley-Big Rock junior Jacqueline Madden wasn't just a three-sport athlete – she excelled in volleyball, basketball and soccer.
The junior was a major contributor to each varsity team, and for her efforts has been named the 2014 Daily Chronicle Female Athlete of the Year.
Royals girls basketball coach Greg Burks said the school's athletic programs cannot exist without players like Madden. H-BR has a total enrollment of 226 students, and three-sport athletes are essential for programs' success.
"She is the kind of athlete we need at Hinckley-Big Rock," Burks said. "I put a lot of stock in our kids that play multiple sports and three-sport athletes. Without those athletes at H-BR and other small schools, you don't have programs."
Madden prides herself on her hustle and activity in each sport. The junior will keep pushing hard, even when the Royals are behind in a game.
"I try to be aggressive in all of the sports I play, and I always like to be active," Madden said. "With that attitude and when we are down, I like to keep the momentum up, and that is what I pride myself on."
That aggressiveness showed throughout this prep season. It was even more evident in basketball, where she finished the season with 4.3 steals a game to go along with 11.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists for the sectional champion Royals.
Burks said Madden learned these traits as a point guard from the point guards who came before her in the Royals' program. Madden was a Daily Chronicle First Team selection, and was a big reason why H-BR won the Class 1A Harvest Christian Academy Sectional, and were three points shy from going to state in a 36-33 loss to Eastland in the DeKalb Super-Sectional.
"Those are values that, as a coach, I try to instill," Burks said. "Regardless of your talent level and what your team brings to the table, you can be a smart player and try to outwork the other team across from you."
Madden said this past basketball season was one of the best she has ever had.
"The postseason was unreal," Madden said. "We didn't think we were going to make it that far but we kept sticking it out. We made it to super-sectionals and probably could have made it to state."
The soccer team reached the regional final match.
Madden finished the soccer campaign with a very respectable 15 goals and seven assists.
In terms of the future, Madden expects to do what she does every season to get ready for the next, which is playing basketball and volleyball over the summer.
One thing Madden was proud of this season was that this would be the last season she would play with the Class of 2014. Madden said they were really close and that she was happy to have success with them.

Summary: Recent and forthcoming Twitter changes may serve the company's short-term interests, but they may not lay the best foundation for long-term success.
This post offers five strategic cautions that remind Twitter to think of itself as a utility rather than a novelty, capitalize on its unique strengths, minimize existing prejudices and points of resistance, and be welcoming to the broadest range of potential users possible. Additional insights are welcome.
Twitter has recently updated their About and Discover pages and created new pages for businesses, the media, and developers. These changes, along with others (see Twitter: What to Expect in 2014, for example), provide strong indications of Twitter's strategic priorities and focus for the year ahead. Are they on the right track? I'm certainly not in a position to question how they run their business, but I would like to offer five strategic cautions. Specifically, if they want to achieve their user growth and advertising revenue targets – not just in the short term but over the long haul – they would be well served to…
This is an issue I've had with Facebook for years. Like Facebook, Twitter should be emphasizing their value as a utility, not a novelty. Compare these definitions from Merriam Webster:
Like electricity, phone service, postal service, the internet itself and even email, the goal should be to create something that is fully integrated into the daily lives of the largest and broadest range of people possible, and to make it something they don't feel like they can live without (even when it makes them crazy).
Put in other relationship terms, Twitter should be looking for lifelong commitments from its users, not one-night stands and short-term affairs.
Novelty wears off, shiny pennies fade, passionate affairs burn out, honeymoons end. Twitter has the potential to outlast many of its so-called competitors. Rather than emulating them, it should strive to outlast them by making a long-term play.
Twitter used to position itself very clearly as an information network, as evidenced by this statement on their old About page:
Twitter is a real-time information network that connects you to the latest stories, ideas, opinions and news about what you find interesting. Simply find the accounts you find most compelling and follow the conversations.
Although many people may not understand the information vs. social network distinction, it is a critical aspect of what has made Twitter unique. Yes, there has always been a social component to Twitter, but unlike platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and SnapChat, that component is optional. It's also important to remember that tweets are generally public, shared with a wider world rather than a particular circle of friends or acquaintances. And if we think about situations where Twitter's value has been most evident, it has been situations where people were sharing information and perceptions about widely-discussed events and crises. In other words, Twitter is like the public square, whereas other platforms are more equivalent to block parties, house parties, and slumber parties.
The idea of information discovery and tracking publicly-shared exchanges should remain a top priority for Twitter. Which leads me to my next caution…
Twitter's new focus seems to emphasize content creation and sharing rather than consumption. But as noted by the statement above from their old About page, as well as the quote below, they used to recognize and respect the value of passive engagement much more.
You don't have to build a web page to surf the web, and you don't have to tweet to enjoy Twitter. Whether you tweet 100 times a day or never, you still have access to the voices and information surrounding all that interests you. You can contribute, or just listen in and retrieve up-to-the-second information. Visit fly.twitter.com [no longer active] to learn more about what's yours to discover.
The value of listening was even emphasized in the What is Twitter? video they created a few months ago, so this shift in focus is very recent. There are at least three reasons I find it curious and a bit disconcerting:
Taken together, the first three cautions lead to my next caution…
In addition to generating more advertising revenue, Twitter is more likely to achieve sustainable user growth by letting people be passive subscribers rather than active engagers. Most later adopters struggle to see the value of having a Twitter account, especially since they have no interest in tweeting themselves. I've been trying to break down their resistance by highlighting Twitter's value as a news and information source and listening channel. If Twitter moves away from that, it will be much harder to convince older individuals (i.e., not teenagers and Millennials) to join and use the platform.
The recent media coverage and commentary over whether teenagers are "abandoning" Facebook is illustrative in this regard. As many people have noted, young people are not significant enough buyers to make them a strategic priority from a user and advertising perspective. Yes, their usage of a platform seems to garner a lot of early attention, but as noted above they are probably not the most reliable long-term user demographic to target.
In other words, Twitter should ultimately aim to be boring, dull, and – omg, that's what my parents use!
After exploring its new About, Discover, and related pages, it's clear that Twitter is emphasizing usage by individuals as consumers (in a broad sense) rather than as professionals. Even the information on their Business pages (including those for small businesses, non-profit organizations, and public sector entities) is primarily targeted to businesses that communicate with and market to individuals in the context of their personal lives (i.e., as buyers, donors, volunteers, and citizens).
Although there's certainly value in that, Twitter should be careful about doing so in a way that seems to deemphasize the importance of individuals and organizations who leverage Twitter for professional purposes (a large and active group with which I am most familiar). Given the preceding cautions, these are two core groups that are worth exploring and exploiting. For B2B enterprises, Twitter can be an invaluable listening, intelligence gathering, benchmarking and business development channel. For individuals, there are huge opportunities to use Twitter as a key component of their career management efforts in terms of professional development, networking, and job search.
There is - and should be - more to Twitter than pop stars, sports figures, consumer brands and reality shows.
Do you share my concerns and cautions about Twitter changes and the strategic direction Twitter seems to be taking? Are there others you would add? I'd love to hear other people's perspectives on what lies ahead for the Twitter platform and its users.
One final thought on Twitter changes: I believe the option to receive tweets via SMS will disappear before the end of the year. They can't make money off text messages like they can from the Twitter apps. Let's see if I'm right...

Courtney - another great post as always. I admit that I'm fully addicted to Twitter. It is my SM channel of choice, and even as an early adopter I still can't get enough (although I'm watching you G+).
Now that I got that out there I can say that I'm not concerned about any of the "upcoming" changes. In fact I'm pleased to see the continued evolution of the platform. While you do raise some really valid point for discussion, I feel confident that these changes won't necessarily impact my use of the channel.
As long as the decision makers behind Twitter don't lose sight of this......I'm still fully on board.
Thanks for sharing Courtney.
Tim, are you addicted for personal purposes, professional purposes, or both? I wouldn't say I'm addicted, but it's definitely a very valuable professional channel for me.
I couldn't decipher your "upc reference. Did your comment get truncated, or is that some kind of new code I'm not familiar with? :)
I see your full comment now, Tim - whew! The mystery was killing me! :)
Yes, I agree that Twitter's changes don't have to change how people use the platform (unless they get rid of the SMS feature, which will definitely create challenges for me). In fact, one of the reasons I wrote this piece is to tee up another one on Twitter misconceptions, targeted to rookies and resisters. Stay tuned for that..
The information network aspect is my #1 favorite thing about Twitter. I definitely hope the powers that be don't lose sight of that! FWIW, the post has also been featured on and shared by Social Media Today, and there have been lots of retweets, most of which highlight my "utility not a novelty" point.
Finally, on a lighter note, have you seen the Muppets movie commercials featuring Twitter? They're brilliant!
This is a great post Courtney. Twitter is one of the more interesting "social" platforms for businesses (I agree w/ you that is really an information network). But it is definitely the noisiest because it is so easy to publish a tweet. It is also easy to automate tweets so the volume of tweets is off the charts compared to blogs, Facebook or LinkedIn updates. Hence, the noise.
Yet, there is nothing better than Twitter when you want to, for example, discuss a live event or topic with hundreds of your peers from around the world. But the fact is that most tweets have little to no value. The real value of Twitter (from a business intelligence standpoint) is when you connect the tweets to the content shared in those tweets - then you get some very interesting and valuable data because there is no better gateway to the Internet and what is being published (news stories, blogs, articles) than Twitter.
So, I love Twitter. Yes, it is totally different from other "social" networks but no other platform provides as much BI than Twitter IMO.
Thanks, Mark. Your assessment of Twitter is spot on. I think its simplicity and ease of sharing is one of the reasons it's favored by so many active social media users - but if we think in "food" terms, a digital diet comprised mostly of "easy" tweets is like eating a lot of fast/junk food and candy. We should strive to be more thoughtful, making sure our fast food is still nutritious and balancing our diets with more healthy and "slow cooked" fare.
The BI aspect is the #1 thing I try to promote to digital rookies who resist Twitter but should be using it for professional purposes. I'm on a mission... :)

I've made vegetable enchiladas before, but the ones I made this past weekend were the best!
The canned enchilada sauce - in this case, La Victoria (mild) brand - makes a world of difference in terms of taste. I've made enchilada sauce from scratch in the past, with so-so results. Having tasted the canned version, I really don't have a desire to go back to homemade.
The recipe for these vegetable enchiladas comes from Sunset Magazine. I began subscribing to Sunset last year primarily for its landscaping design articles. But, Sunset also has some good vegetarian recipe write-ups.
I did modify Sunset's recipe to make what was already a fairly healthy version of vegetable enchiladas even more healthy. Specifically, I substituted canned refried beans with this semi-homemade version I found online at Pinchmysalt.com. The semi-homemade version is essentially the same recipe found on cans of pinto beans purchased at Latin markets and contains way less sodium than that found in canned refried beans. In addition, I replaced the corn tortillas with whole wheat tortillas.
This dish is really simple to make. As you can see from the photo above, I served the enchiladas with a simple side salad and saffron rice. I highly, highly recommended you try this recipe!
Vegetable Enchiladas (from Sunset Magazine)
(9x13-inch Baking Dish Version)
Serves 6-8
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 8 ounce bag of spinach leaves
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 15-ounce can refried beans (or make own using semi-homemade version above)
- 1 15-ounce can low-sodium black beans, drained
- 10 corn (or whole wheat) tortillas, quartered
- 19 ounces (approximately) canned enchilada sauce (I used two 10-ounce cans of La Victoria)
- 1 cup (I used about 1 1/2 cups) Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- green onions, sliced, for garnishing
- Vegetable oil
Heat approximately 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they become translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Add the spinach leaves and continue cooking and stirring until they start to wilt. Add the corn and continue cooking until heated through. Set this spinach-corn mixture aside.
Spread one-third of the enchilada sauce over the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and top with one-third of the tortillas. Layer with the refried beans, the black beans and half of the remaining enchilada sauce. Top with one-third of the cheese.
Next, layer with half of the remaining tortillas, all of the spinach-corn mixture and half of the remaining cheese. Top with the remaining tortillas, the remaining enchilada sauce and the remaining cheese.
Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes, until the sauce starts bubbling and the cheese has melted. Garnish with the green onions before serving.

Pop star Taylor Swift is convinced she has never "truly" been in love because none of her romances have ever lasted.
The singer has been linked to a number of high profile men over the years, including John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhall and Taylor Lautner, and she is said to have recently split from Conor Kennedy.
Swift, who famously details her romances in her songs, now admits she has yet to experience true love.
She tells Parade magazine, "I tend to think things are love and then look back and reevaluate... I know how many people I've said 'I love you' to. I could probably count it up, but I don't feel like it. Part of me feels you can't say you were truly in love if it didn't last. If I end up getting married and having kids, that's when I'll know it's real - because it lasted."
Swift adds, "I don't think there's an option for me to fall in love slowly, or at medium speed. I either do or I don't.
"I don't think it through, really, which is a good thing and a bad thing. You don't look before you leap, which is like, 'Yay, this is awesome! Let's not think twice!' And then you're like, 'We used to be flying. Now we're falling. What's happening?'"

Sound quality should be good thanks to the system packing "highly efficient digital amplifier circuitry incorporated within" as well as Onkyo's proprietary Active Bass Control tech which should mean "smooth and natural bass performance" even when you've got it turned right up.
The Colibrino comes with a pair of free-standing, two-way, bass-reflex speakers, each packing 10cm diameter woofers.

In 1898, Ebenezer Gomme (1858–1931) set up a fine woodworking atelier, E. Gomme Ltd., in High Wycombe, England, a major center of British furniture manufacturing. By the early 1900s, E. Gomme had transitioned into a larger factory facility, and in 1911, his sons took the helm. The company was revered for its range of high-quality sideboards, tables, and other cabinet goods and for pioneering the concept of dining room sets, designed and made to match. E. Gomme continued to flourish until the 1940s. During World War II, Britain experienced a timber shortage and the British government was forced to enact strict controls on "unnecessary" industries like furniture production. This led to a program called the Utility Scheme, which was intended to cultivate a market for more austere and utilitarian solutions to home goods. Among the program's efforts, the landmark 1946 Britain Can Make It exhibition at the V&A Museum made great strides in swaying the British public toward more modernist tastes. And among the exhibition's visitors was Ebenezer Gomme's grandson, Donald (1916-2005), who was greatly inspired by what he saw there. With the success of the next exhibition in this program, The Festival of Britain—which presented work by modern designers like Robin and Lucienne Day at London's South Bank in 1951—Donald Gomme became certain that a radical, more minimalist aesthetic was about the sweep the furniture design industry. Thus began G-Plan, an offshoot of the traditional furniture company E. Gomme Ltd. Although most of the British public reverted to traditional tastes after the war, there was a small but growing market for high-quality, modernist furniture, and G-Plan successfully spoke to this younger, more progressive audience. Through clever marketing campaigns, G-Plan set the standard for modernist, mass-market furniture in postwar Britain. G-Plan's C Range, with an aesthetic that celebrated its machine production, was launched in 1953, and by 1957 it had become enormously popular. Donald Gomme stepped down from G-Plan in 1958, confident in the strength of the company that he had built. By the 1960s, the Scandinavian look was sweeping international design, and British-made furniture was being outsold by Danish imports. To compete, G-Plan brought in Danish designer Ib Kofod-Larsen to create new collections in fine woods, like teak and rosewood. While these Kofod-Larsen pieces have become very collectible today, at the time, they were not well appreciated by the design community—perhaps viewed as lesser variations on the furniture available from Scandinavia. Despite the competition, G-Plan remained one of the most recognized names in furniture manufacturing in the UK through the end of the 1970s. In 1987 the Gomme family sold the business to the then directors, who, three years later, sold it to the Christie Tyler Group. In 1996, the Morris Furniture Group acquired the license to make and market G-Plan Cabinet furniture in Glasgow. This operates separately from the upholstery business, G-Plan Upholstery Ltd., which continues to manufacture most of its sofa and armchair products in the UK. Read More Collapse

The July 4th weekend, combined with a two-week dead period running through this Sunday, brought a rare bit of calmness to the football recruiting world last week. Most recruiters, and many prospects, are on vacation and for a brief period have put recruiting on the backburner.
That will change some this week with year No. 4 of The Opening being held at Nike Headquarters in Beaverton, Ore. This made-by-ESPN event brings together 162 of the most highly rated prospects across the country for a variety of competitions. But most importantly for the network, several of these prospects could announce their commitments, and that, of course, is the major hook from a viewership standpoint.
Four 2015 Clemson commitments were invited this year: WR Deon Cain, OL Noah Green, OL Mitch Hyatt and LB Chad Smith. USC's 2015 commitment class will be represented by LB Sherrod Pittman. Also in the group of 162 is LB Michael Barnett of Woodland, who is a Florida State commitment. Notre Dame has the most commitments in the event with 10.
Eight of the uncommitted prospects have indicated they may announce a decision during The Opening, which runs Monday through Thursday, and the one for USC and Clemson fans to watch is RB AJ Turner of Centreville, Va. He has had the Gamecocks and Tigers in his top group along with Ohio State, Michigan State and Virginia. He visited USC in April. Turner has not named a favorite, though some recruiting observers are predicting him for the Gamecocks.
DE Austin Bryant of Thomasville, Ga., who is also at The Opening, plans to have a decision in a few weeks and has Clemson and Notre Dame in his lead group. He will visit Clemson again later this month for the "All-In Cookout" before announcing is decision.
In other recruiting news:
Highly touted OL Zack Bailey of Summerville is getting ready to take some visits out of state and plans to see Georgia, North Carolina and Florida this summer. Bailey has been to USC and Clemson, along with Florida State, and would like to take a look at some other schools. "Before I have any favorites, I wanted to visit some other schools outside of South Carolina," Bailey said. "I think I should see some more schools before I start narrowing my list." The Gamecocks and Tigers remain strong with Bailey. "I hear a lot from Clemson, obviously, and I'm hearing from Carolina a lot too," he said. "Georgia and North Carolina are showing a lot of interest, too. I had heard some from Southern Cal, but not so much lately." Bailey is in no hurry to begin narrowing his list and said it is important to take the process slowly. As for his official visits, Bailey has not finalized his plans. "It's possible that I'll take all five, but I'm not making any promises," he said. "Anything could happen." His offers include Clemson, USC, North Carolina, Georgia Tech, Miami, Florida State, Florida, Syracuse and Southern Cal.
Though still committed to Florida, ATH Jalen Julius of West Orange, Fla., is planning an official visit to USC. Julius committed to the Gators in early May and visited USC shortly after his announcement. "It went really well," Julius said. "I spent some time with coach (Everett) Sands and coach (Steve) Spurrier. I like both of them a lot. I've always liked South Carolina and I still like them after the visit." Julius said that he remains committed to Florida but will take future visits, including USC. "I talked to coach Sands and he told me he wants to get me back up there," he said. "I'm definitely going to take an official (visit) there." As for his commitment, Julius said, "I'm still committed (to Florida), but I'm more open now." Other schools he would like to visit are Oregon State, Mississippi and Louisville. Florida remains his favorite.
LSU is the latest to receive a visit from WR Darius Slayton of Norcross, Ga. Slayton visited USC last month. The Tigers have offered Slayton as a defensive back, but that has not affected his opinion of the program. "I kind of grew up an LSU fan, so it was nice to get on campus and see it up close," Slayton said. Clemson and Tennessee are two he will likely visit, though neither trip has been scheduled. The Gamecocks and Tigers are both schools in which Slayton has an interest. He added that it is in his plans to take all five official visits.
DB Micah Abernathy of Norcross, Ga., has not narrowed his list but remains interested in USC and has been in touch with recruiter GA Mangus. Abernathy has plans to attend a game at Williams-Brice this season. He is also planning trips to Ohio State, Tennessee and Georgia this summer and would like to attend games at Oregon and Ohio State this fall.
LB Jahvoni Simmons of Virginia Beach, Va., has a top 10 of Clemson, Alabama, Georgia Tech, Miami, N.C. State, Ohio State, Oregon, Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin. He trimmed his list from 21 offers. Last season, Simmons had 127 tackles with 17 tackles for loss, 4 interceptions, 4 forced fumbles and 2 sacks. Simmons' only recent visit was to Virginia in March for a junior day.
DB Carlton Davis of Miami plans to visit USC near the end of the end of the month. He's had a top five of USC, Florida, Miami, Ohio State and Georgia.
DL DJ Jones of East Mississippi JC will announce his college decision Dec. 13. He's down to Clemson, USC, Tennessee, Alabama, Auburn, Southern Cal, Florida State, Mississippi, Florida and Georgia. He also plans to visit Ohio State.
Late last month, WR Juval Mollette of Randleman, N.C., chose North Carolina over Clemson, committing at Larry Fedora's Freak Show in Chapel Hill. Mollette had been flip-flopping between the Tigers and Tar Heels but said the lack of contact from Clemson, in part, helped to make his decision. "The only Clemson coach that I've really heard from since the spring was coach (Robbie) Caldwell, who still sends me letters," Mollette said. "Coach (Jeff) Scott just sort of disappeared. I haven't heard from him at all. (North) Carolina has stayed on me hard, so I decided to commit." Mollette said his commitment is strong and he has no intentions of taking other visits.
USC was one of the first to offer DB Desmond Cain of Delray Beach, Fla., and that put the Gamecocks out front for his services for some time. But a lack of contact from USC may have changed that. "I haven't heard from coach Grady (Brown) in a while, to be honest," Cain said. "I tried calling him a couple of times but he didn't answer." Cain remains hopeful that he can take an official visit to USC this fall but plans to take a wait-and-see approach. "Once the dead period ends, I'll see if they contact me," he said. He has scheduled an official visit to Illinois during following a bye week and said that the Illini have shown the most interest of late. He named USC, Illinois, Penn State, Virginia and Rutgers as the five schools he would like to travel to for an official visit.
DE Trevon Hill of Virginia Beach, Va., a one-time Clemson target, committed to Virginia Tech over the weekend.
DB Antonio Parks of Reserve, La., who at one time talked opening about committing to Clemson, committed to Arizona on Friday.

Ashley Judd: Oh. Um, Mister Santorum, take a seat.
Katy Mixon: I understand you'd like to terminate your candidacy. And I am sure, pumpkin, that is a very hard decision for you.
Eliza Coupe: Sorry.
Katy Mixon: If you weren't mature enough to carry your candidacy to term, you shouldn't have engaged in the risky behavior that began it.
Michelle Trachtenberg: But, you made a mistake. Because you were thrust into a situation that you weren't ready for.
Eliza Coupe: And the next thing you knew, a good looking rich man took advantage of you.
Michelle Trachtenberg: Not your fault.
Katy Mixon: People might say you were askin' for it. I'm not saying that, but people are.
Eliza Coupe: I suppose adoption is out of the question. No one in their right mind would want you as a running mate.
Michelle Trachtenberg: [Sighs]
Ashley Judd: The financial burden, the risk of your political career, there is a lot at stake.
Eliza Coupe: [Growls] God! I'm just so glad you could step out of the race with your reputation and life intact.
Michelle Trachtenberg: What did you say? Make the best out of a bad situation.
Katy Mixon: I'm not judging you, though.
Michelle Trachtenberg: That's not me.
Ashley Judd: I mean, you're a grown man running for President, and I'm just a woman who's never worked in politics and couldn't possibly understand what you're going through. I mean, what am I doing even talking to you about this? But...[Sigh] here we are.
Eliza Coupe: The law requires me to tell you that as early as six weeks, a candidacy can have living, breathing supporters.
Michelle Trachtenberg: And before doing anything, I'll need your parental consent form.
Eliza Coupe: And you're gonna have to listen to your campaign manager's heart.
[Beep] [Coughs]
Michelle Trachtenberg: And, of course, you'll have to look at the sonogram of your campaign.
Rick Santorum: I'm ready to lead. I'm ready... [Echoes]
Eliza Coupe: [Shushes]
Ashley Judd: You'll also have to watch this. [Click]
Rick Santorum: You can't win. Can't win.
TV Personalities: It hurts. I am not a politician. Because people gotta know. I am suspending my, suspending, suspending, my pay and endorsing. A crook. Well after. Spending. My presidential campaign. [Slow Motion] Suspend our campaign today. [Click]
Ashley Judd: Okay. We'll finalize this after the mandatory seventy-two hour waiting period.
Eliza Coupe: And be careful on your way out. There's some really angry people out there.
Michelle Trachtenberg: Please. Take one of these.
Ashley Judd: Prayerfully consider what it has to say.
Michelle Trachtenberg: I don't want to have this conversation in another forty-eight months.
Katy Mixon: Just go ahead and stay home.

Hello Fellow NACCE members!
Metro Community College's Coleman Grant timeline ran from June -September 2011 (we seriously just finished this up yesterday - whew!), for our inaugural offering of the newly created Entrepreneur Champions Across The Curriculum! program. And might I say....it has been an exciting endeavor to work with 21 of my peer faculty from thirteen discipline areas. I encourage every single school to implement a program such as this, as the enthusiasm for the subject of entrepreneurship has multiplied 100x since our start from our leadership down to the Dean's areas impacted and now through to our new Faculty Champion graduates.
In the planning stages of developing this program, I began to research and research everywhere I could to find what other Universities and CC's were doing in relation to this subject. To hopefully help YOU start YOUR OWN program, here's my first steps taken:
1. Visited with Dr. Tim Stearns, Coleman Foundation Chair In Entrepreneur and Executive Director of the Lyles Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at California University State, Fresno. He started several years a prior a similar "Champion" program from Professors across the curriculum and shared his application (which he further gave me permission to share with each of you). Tim takes only a few professors each year into his Champion Program and was exhausted for me at the thought of having to work with 20 in one setting....and I now understand his empathy. Ironically, with our second running of MCC's program next year - we are decreasing our pool size to 10 to more effectively manage the needs (I was very surprised at how 1/4 of our participants really "didn't get it" and needed several individual meetings and custom help with their assignments....but bless their hearts they had the passion and desire to "get it" and eventually did :). I'm also going to take Tim's suggestion and require in our second year's running that each applicant be pre-approved by their area Dean. Originally, MCC decided not to task the Dean's to be involved in this; nor did we want to cause more turnaround time needed in the application process. But now that we are wanting to be more selective and be sure that we are working with high level participants, we are going to implement his suggesion. Attached is Fresno's application and program outline for YOUR hopeful program development.
At MCC, we had a very simple application process that went out by email blast. It is attached. Despite only asking for a 1 paragraph summary with additional misc. information to be emailed; I was surprised at how many faculty wanted a "canned application" form. Also attached is our example of prior work that we had done with other Instructors already to motivate and guide them. THIS was very, very helpful as it proved to be the "ah-ah" moment for those that weren't quite in understanding of what the program was all about.
2. I reviewed the Coleman Foundation's new site for its "Coleman Fellow" program - a similar program for University Professors at. http://colemanfellows.com/. Even just in the past few months, this website has become even more robust with its Professors loading up sample syllabi, articles, discussions, etc.... good stuff!
3. But, the single best find that prepared for a mindset of working on the topic of Entrepreneurship Across The Curriculum was this book:
Handbook of University-wide Entrepreneurship Education
Edited by G. Page West III, Elizabeth J. Gatewood and Kelly G. Shaver
I purchased it via Amazon for roughly $155. Link at: http://www.amazon.com/Handbook-University-wide-Entrepreneurship-Education-Page/dp/1847204554/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1317507166&sr=1-1
The first part of the book is written in chapter/book format as what to-do. The second part of the book are actual case studies from Universities all around the globe doing just this.....how they have implemented entrepreneurship into their entire schools OR specific disciplne areas. Example areas covered are: science, liberal arts (generally), law, civics, etc....
4. I contacted the Academic publishers to have them hunt for books or chapters within books on the crossing of disciplines with entrepreneurship and this was not successful at all......so if anyone wants an entrepreneurial opportunity - you can write books on this!
5. But, my own collection of finding books over the past two years as I"ve been thinking about this, capturing articles as they've come across my desk and finding associations that supported specific discipline areas and contacting them for help proved a success! I was able to have books on the following subjects ready for my new 20 (it actually turned out to be 23) recruits on the subjects of:
-technology entrepreneurship
-ethics and entrepreneurship
-corporate entrepreneurship (intrapreneurship)
-arts entrepreneurship
-science entrepreneurship
-engineering entrepreneurship
-etc.....the list goes on ;)
Feel free to use and abuse the attachments from either Tim or myself as you wish - that's the Nebraska way of getting things done without recreating the wheel. And what we do a second time (or next time) will always therefore be better and be better usage of the coleman's grant funds!

Today, I'm taking a much needed break from editing photos and recipes to recharge my batteries and to spend time with my family. Today I'd like to share with you my own favorite recipes from last year. I am already planning my annual Oktoberfest with my family and close friends. I've been seeing lots of Oktoberfest recipes in food magazines. Sometimes I cringe, because I lived in Bavaria as a kid-- and my mother owned a German Delicatessen. I know what's authentic, so some recipes I have seen simply aren't what you'll really find in Bavaria. I invite you to take a look at my own recipes, as taught to me by my mom when I was very young.
Austrian Goulash, (but it's also a Bavarian Goulash) because I j don't want readers to confuse the word "goulash" as being a stew with vegetables and meat. Austrian food is very similar to Bavarian food, because they share borders. This recipe was taught to me by my Bavarian "Mutti", who learned it from her Mutti, who learned it from... well, this tureen dish dates back to my Great-Grandmother from Bad Reichenhall, Bavaria. It's a simple stew, made with beef, a tomato broth and has the perfect balance of hot and sweet paprika. The only vegetable in this dish are lots of thinly sliced onion, and a small handful of caraway seeds.
My favorite way to enjoy this goulash is with Bavarian Semmelknoedel (Bread Dumplings) and I show you how to make it here.
Bavarian Red Cabbage, and I have created a recipe that has the perfect balance of sweet and tart.
Of course, I always buy quality brand Wiener Wurstl (Veal sausages), because Oktoberfest wouldn't be authentic without out it. What about "bratwurst"? Of course, I serve those, too! There is plenty of German beer to complete the array of my heirloom German recipes.
Just click on the name of a recipe, if one grabs your attention, and you will be transported to the posting that shows you how to make these. You'll find a printable recipe card at the bottom. I hope to find some time to catch up on visiting my food blogger peeps to see what you've been cooking and baking. Next weekend, Craig and I are off to Palm Springs for a much needed vacation with two of my best friends. Yes!!!!
I'm off to shop for the party this weekend.
Happy October!

Product Description
The core of the Levello FLUSH system is a housing which is permanently fitted into the ceiling. The housing comes complete with a mains side Simplefix connector and decorators disks to protect it during installation. Our Simplefix connectors allow property owners to change their luminaire or light source within seconds and also have the added advantage of speeding up installation as they allow the installer to test the installation without having to unscrew connections.
The Fire rated housing is rated to 60 minutes and is suitable for all of the products in the Levello product range. Please see the fire Rated datasheet for more details.
The Directional Fire Rated trim-less down light is ideal for isolating objects such as paintings, sculptures, retail displays. It can rotate a full 360<°> and can tilted by up to 30<°>. The Directional product lifts the light source from direct view and narrows spill light being emitted. This significantly improves the aesthetic of the installation by giving a ?dark light? effect, reducing the glare of the luminaire making the fitting almost invisible. A variety of accessories may be fitted into the Deep insert collar such as Baffles, filters, lenses, louvres for different lighting effects and improving the aesthetics of the installation.
A white plate powder coated plate is supplied as standard, the high quality finish is extremely durable.
The IP65 Obround Plate is designed to suit directional applications giving a moderate sideways cut off, narrowing light onto an object or focus point and reducing side spill. It is suitable for use in showers and other areas where IP65 ingress protection is required.
A preassembled ?plug and play? LED light engine set complete with all cables connectors, driver, light engine, ready to for connection to a 240 volt power supply.

>General Running>Weirdest thing you've ever seen on the ground during a run..?
one time i saw a weave - like fake hair - on the curb. it rained that night, and moved close to the sewer drain but didn't quite make it, so it was there for like a month after i first spotted it. it was pretty nasty, but became a game...every time it stormed, i'd run by the next day and it would be several inches closer to the sewer. its like i was rooting it on...no pun intended....
we like to call them tumbleweaves.

I think I'm gonna go lock the door, now....
Next time I see wild turkeys on our lawn I'm going to yell at them "look, I know you're just flying monkeys in disguise--the jig is up!" I'm sure the neighbors won't question my sanity.
