Well, It's been a pretty interesting week around here. This morning, an article about our use of Twitter was released in the Baltimore Business Journal. A small excerpt can be seen here. We were pretty excited to be recognized for these efforts.
Later in the afternoon, we participated in Digital Insight's 2nd Twitter Town Hall with the topic of "Financial Fitness for Financial Institutions". The discussion (which can be see at #ditownhall) focused on FI's 2010 plans to address the financial needs of the consumer. It was a very interesting dialogue with a lot of participation from individuals and institutions around the country. We really appreciated the opportunity to participate.
One interesting point. There appear to be few of our peers in the banking industry who actively participate in this channel. The Journal article specifically mentions other, local FI's who aren't even exploring social media. In the Town Hall, many of the participants were from credit unions or the credit union industry. They really get it. We were really the "token" bank involved in the discussion. Seems like many other banks are missing a huge opportunity to connect with their communities via these other channels.

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We'll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we'll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.
Ronald Reagan spoke these words some forty-six years ago in his famous "A Time for Choosing" speech. Tragically, today in America it appears the time for choosing is fast passing. As each day goes by our debt grows more untenable; our security more imperiled; our economy more shackled; our government more tyrannical.
These are symptoms of an America that has chosen the wrong path. We lost our way on the road to civilization, veering onto the road to serfdom. Our plight is the result of a hundred-plus year campaign by the socialist sophists to slowly but surely undermine the bedrock principles on which we had built our strength.
While the ends of a nation are peace, prosperity and culture, from our founding there was a dichotomy of opinion as to how best to achieve these ends. It was not merely a matter of state versus federal or small versus big government. Rather, at its core the split rested and continues to rest upon embracing liberty or embracing tyranny.
As the underappreciated French Political Economist Frédéric Bastiat argued, "The state is the great fictitious entity by which everyone seeks to live at the expense of everyone else." James Madison in an equally cynical but less damning statement asserted,
If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.
Put another way, the great challenge of government is that while in forming it we grant man privileges to protect our natural rights, it proves difficult enough for man to govern himself let alone others. Thus, in devising a governmental system, our founders set up a Constitution of diffuse powers confined to explicit spheres. This was to ensure that the majority of power rested with the states or the people.
As our country aged, the state increasingly stripped us of our rights instead of securing them. Government grew whilst the individual shrunk. Whereas the law was meant to protect against the diminution of man, instead it was used as an instrument to plunder him. As Bastiat shrewdly posited in The Law back in 1848,
..legal plunder can be committed in an infinite number of ways. Thus we have an infinite number of plans for organizing it: tariffs, protection, benefits, subsidies, encouragements, progressive taxation, public schools, guaranteed jobs, guaranteed profits, minimum wages, a right to relief, a right to the tools of labor, free credit, and so on, and so on. All these plans as a whole — with their common aim of legal plunder — constitute socialism.
If only this message had resonated.
We lovers of liberty allowed for the planting of these seeds of our destruction. We have always had the better ideas, but too often failed to adequately defend them. Our ideological counterparts, realizing that they could not win on substance propagandized through academia and the media, and co-opted the poorest and the richest in their lust to undermine our rights for their personal gain.
Anecdotally, we can see a clear difference in the logical ends of the policies the statists espouse. It is instructive to look at the experience of those in East and West Germany before the fall of the Berlin Wall (well-documented on pages 33-37 here). Similarly, if we compare and contrast the liberal urban areas in America with the more conservative suburban ones, in many instances we see a clear difference in wealth, safety and overall quality of life, which is incidentally ironic given that it is often the suburban areas that subsidize their urban neighbors. Yet even with this stark difference in results, somehow we have succumbed to the path to barbarism.
Perhaps one of the reasons for our loss in the war of ideas is that while the battle lines are clear, we have not sufficiently articulated the virtues of our side. The following questions are exemplary of our divide, and were Americans to consider their implications in context of our political system, I believe support for the left would wither. Do Americans believe in private self-reliance or public largess? Do we believe in meritocracy or thugocracy? Do we reward success or failure? Do we stand upright or bow to the world? Do we wish to return America to fiscal order, or condemn future generations to debt slavery? Do we believe that solutions come through the ingenuity and toil of the American people, or from faceless bureaucrats in Washington? Do we wish to be the shining beacon of civilization, or a mere footnote in a history book? Do we believe in the individual, innovation, morality and the spontaneous and organic harmony of freedom or the collective, backward, perverted morality and destitution of centrally planned servitude?
The people of this nation know that the progress of man has always come from the individual, free to question, experiment and fail. In fact, it is often out of failure that opportunity arises. Our nation was built on principles the founders gleaned from their studies of the failures of their predecessors. They understood that powerful centralized government could never advance man, but only restrain him. They understood that the sole purpose of government was to protect man from the tyranny of others and that of government itself. This was to be achieved by building a foundation based on property rights and the rule of law, a foundation that would allow man to flourish. Sadly, generation after generation, we have allowed our government to usurp more and more of our freedom — to steal from us the life, liberty and property that make us people. In our quiescence, we have given politicians sanction to weaken our constitution and dehumanize us.
But just as failures created the conditions for the founders to build this nation, so too have failures created an opportunity for us to refound it. Today we have a populace galvanized against our largely corrupt stewards. We must avail ourselves of this opportunity to educate a captive audience on history, on principles and on the ideals that we have allowed to grow decadent. In the meantime in trying to roll back years of ideological subversion that have numbed Americans to truth and morality, we must elect officials who will stop government from expanding. Then, we must go to work in stripping it back to the bare bones ascribed to it in our Constitution.
In order to achieve this monumental task, we will need to seek out candidates who are unafraid of the censorship that is political correctness; who understand that the state is always to be subservient to the individual; who are willing to abide by principle even if it means political pain. In other words, we will have to find patriots who stand to gain little from serving in government, the very people who have traditionally avoided serving in it.
This battle will take many, many years, and there is no guarantee of success. But difficult as the struggle may be, appeasement and the middle path will surely lead to failure. Reagan understood this when it came to the Cold War. He argued,
every lesson of history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face–that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight or surrender. If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand–the ultimatum.
Reagan further noted as to a policy of appeasement that, "You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery." One might add that chains and slavery will never lead to a dear life or sweet peace.
We must fight another war against our ostensibly well-meaning liberal friends, a war on ideological grounds in the political arena. We must express to all those who cherish this country that nothing less than our existence rests upon our fight against the tyranny of our democracy. Our state is a Leviathan, hurtling towards fiscal and moral bankruptcy and war. History will either remember us as the generation that twiddled our fingers while Rome burned, or the underdogs who overcame great evil to return this nation to its rightful place as a shining city on a hill.
We may lie very close to the precipice today, but it is still our duty to make the proper choice. We must choose to fight the fight for civilization or risk dishonoring our founders, enslaving our children and debauching our once great nation. If we choose rightly, we will either save our country from impending collapse or build a contingent strong enough to rise from its ashes. In a world being terrorized by the twin tentacles of socialism and Islamism, we still remain the last best hope of man on Earth.

When you're out to dinner with friends, things can get awkward fast after the meal is over. The check is passed around, people pull out their iPhone calculators, and inevitably you come up $2 short.
gDine wants to make your group dining experiences smoother. Available in Chicago and New York, it offers group rates for everything from sushi to burgers. And you pay a fixed price per person ahead of time, so no one gets jipped.
Below, founder and CEO Rakesh Thakkar explains how being a restaurant owner in the culinary haven of Chicago led him to start gDine.
Tech Cocktail: What was the inspiration behind gDine?
Rakesh Thakkar: I had the idea to start gDine while I owned my own restaurant and was frustrated by the lack of options restaurants had to leverage the Internet to drive business.
Tech Cocktail: Why is gDine so special?
Thakkar: We will continue to differentiate ourselves moving forward by really solving the group dining dilemma. Getting a group together to dine is hard, from coordinating calendars, choosing a restaurant that everyone agrees on and meets their budget, to the worst part of group dining…splitting the check.
Tech Cocktail: What is the biggest advantage of starting up in Chicago?
Thakkar: I cannot think of a better place to launch a restaurant-related technology company. Chicago is such a great restaurant town and the consumers here really represent a good cross-section of society. There is a reason that the National Restaurant Show is hosted here every year.
On the technology side, we also have a burgeoning ecosystem for startups with many great companies that are leading the way, like GrubHub, Groupon, Restaurant.com, etc. It is really exciting to be a part of that.
Tech Cocktail: What's one quirky fact about you, your team, or your office culture?
Thakkar: I actually came up with the idea for gDine while doing a headstand practicing yoga. Unfortunately, since then I have had no time for yoga!
gDine was a showcased startup at our Tech Cocktail Techweek mixer.

Han Chae Young's High School Graduation Photo
Han Chae Young's high school graduation picture was recently uploaded by the actress herself.
The actress uploaded the picture of herself in her high school days on May 5 with the caption, "Wow! I found this old picture somewhere. Hmm…I was still cute when I was young, right?"
The photo looks like a high school picture found in a yearbook and has her English name, "Rachel Kim," written beneath the profile shot. The actress' appearance has not changed much since her high school days. She still has the same allure and exudes a goddess-like appeal, keeping true to her nickname "Barbie Doll" of Korea.
Many netizens commented upon viewing the picture: "She's really pretty," "She was even sexy when she was in high school," and, "She's a natural beauty."
Recently, a photo of Han Chae Young during her unviversity days also surfaced. The actress still boasts a long, slender body line but gives a more mature look with short hair.

Access latest developments on regulatory policy in Japan and its score on the 2015 Indicators of Regulatory Policy and Governance, and the 1999 and 2004 OECD Review of Regulatory Reform in Japan.
Innovation is key to boosting economic growth in the face of a rapidly ageing population. While Japan spends heavily on education and R&D, appropriate framework conditions are essential to increase the return on such investments by strengthening competition, both domestic and international, and improving resource allocation.

Japanese banks largely avoided the direct impact from the global financial crisis thanks to their limited exposure to foreign toxic assets, the regulatory framework in Japan and the small role of securitisation.

I don't think the join is large, but the query that gets the unexpected result is indeed a join: rs = st.executeQuery( " select c.type from " + "sys.sysconstraints c, sys.systables t where " + "c.tableid = t.tableid and tablename='T1'"); I'm not 100% sure the failure was caused by wrong ordering, though, since assertFullResultSet only reports the first mismatch it finds.

Liberal leader Kathleen Wynne endorsed by Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly
Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly has waded into the provincial election – just over a week after he promised he would stay out of it.
Kelly – a longtime Liberal and former Liberal MP – endorsed Premier Kathleen Wynne during her speech at the Canadian Club of Toronto on Thursday.
The endorsement from the de facto mayor of the province's largest city comes exactly a week before Ontario goes to the polls.
"This province needs a city-friendly premier," Kelly told the audience at the lunch-hour speech. "Kathleen, that leader and that premier is you."
The endorsement comes as a surprise given the fact Kelly – who holds all the powers of the mayor while Rob Ford is in rehab – said on May 26 that he wouldn't be getting involved in the election.
"I think that the debate is between the party leaders and their constituents provincially," Kelly said, explaining why he wouldn't be endorsing any party ahead of the June 12 vote.
"I think people are going to have to look closely at the presentations of all three parties and make their decision."
Ford has been no fan of the Liberals in the lead up to this year's election.
Wynne has shunned Ford and dealt exclusively with Kelly since last November when council stripped him of most of his powers due to his crack cocaine scandal.
Back in 2011, Ford didn't endorse any party during the provincial election but did come out endorsing Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Conservatives ahead of the 2011 federal election.
Last year, Ford campaigned strongly against the provincial Liberals and for the Progressive Conservatives during two provincial byelections in Toronto.

Federal Pell Grant (PELL)
Eligibility for this grant is determined by the household and financial information you provided on the FAFSA. It is generally the largest source of "free money" toward college expenses and does not have to be repaid. There's a Pell lifetime limit of 144 attempted credits. You can get other kinds of aid without being eligible for a Pell.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)
This grant is awarded to Pell-eligible students with the highest need and also does not have to be repaid. BCC receives limited SEOG funding.
MASSGrant (MSS)
This grant is awarded by the Massachusetts Office of Student Financial Assistance (OSFA) to state residents who file their FAFSA by May 1 each year. The amount printed on your award letter is an estimate only. If you fail to meet the full-time requirement, we will replace your award with a Mass Part-Time Grant (while funds last). There is a lifetime limit of 4 semesters on receiving MASSGrants.
Mass Part-Time Grant (MPT)
BCC gives first preference to awarding you this grant if you were offered a MASSGrant but were unable to enroll full-time. You must be a Massachusetts resident and enrolled in 6-11 credits to receive this award.
Mass Tuition Waiver (TWR)
Tuition waivers are awarded to residents of Massachusetts. A waiver can be used to cover day tuition charges for state-supported courses; if your day tuition charge is less than your award, you'll receive the lesser amount. A waiver does not cover college fees, books, or charges associated with summer, evening, or non-state-supported day classes. If you enroll in non-state-supported classes, we will convert your waiver to a Cash Grant (while funds last). However, we can't replace your waiver if you already have another type of waiver (DCF, Mass Rehab, National Guard, Veterans, John & Abigail Adams Scholarship, etc.)
Mass Cash Grant (CGR)
This grant is also for state residents and is awarded first to priority, on-time applicants and offered to others on a funds available basis. Like other grants, the Cash Grant provides "free money" that can be applied to college expenses and does not have to be repaid.
Visit OSFA's website for a complete listing of grants, scholarships, and tuition waivers.
Work-Study (FWS, CWS)
This program provides you with part-time employment opportunities in a variety of job sites both on and off campus. Student wages range from $11.08/hour to $12.13/hour, depending on the qualifications required for the job. Most students work the equivalent of 5-8 hours per week based on their award amount. Paychecks are issued every two weeks. For more about how Work-Study works, contact our Coordinator of Financial Aid & Work-Study Programs, Karrie Trautman.
If you apply for financial aid, BCC will include Federal Direct Student Loans (FDSSL, FDUSL) as part of your financial aid package, and a separate loan application process is involved. Federal Direct Student Loan programs provide low interest loans to help meet expenses related to college enrollment. Eligibility for a "Subsidized'" or "Unsubsidized'" Direct Loan is determined by the household and financial information provided on your FAFSA. You could receive subsidized, unsubsidized, or a combination of both loans depending on your eligibility. Most BCC students can qualify for a loan subsidy, which means that the government pays the interest on your loan while you're enrolled. Student loan borrowers can defer repayment until 6 months after graduation. Based on the most recent available data, the average total student loan debt upon leaving BCC (graduating, transferring, etc.) is $8,552.
If you're going to take out a student loan, learn about the differences between federal and private education loans and apply for federal first. For more information, contact our Coordinator of Financial Aid & Student Loan Programs, Christopher Weingartner.
In response to concerns at a national level about student lending practices, the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education, established a Code of Conduct for Student Loan Program and called on each public institution of higher education in Massachusetts to adopt the Code. Accordingly, on August 28, 2007, Berkshire Community College adopted the Code as specified and is fully complying with the Code.
A Student Borrower Bill of Rights is a variation on this Code of Conduct that is intended to enhance student understanding of their rights under the Code.

LINDEN — Police arrested a 25-year-old city man Saturday who allegedly pointed a gun at a group of people in Roselle and fled into Linden.
Marquis Davalle Tucker was charged with unlawful possession of a handgun, certain persons not to possess weapons, resisting arrest by flight, and trespassing on railroad property. Bail was set at $100,500.
Linden police responded to a call at 6:55 p.m. on June 22 and Officer Rick Bachmann spotted Tucker at the corner of Chandler and Essex avenues. While he called for backup, Tucker ran towards nearby railroad tracks. Bachmann saw Tucker holding a gun as he climbed a hill onto the tracks, according to police.
Police set up a perimeter on the 700 block of Carnegie Street and found Tucker hiding in a backyard, but he did not have a weapon in his possession, authorities said. They also located a .380 black automatic weapon laying in the grass behind a house on the block. It was not loaded.
The charges against Tucker are merely accusations; he is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Local cemetery going online
In today's world, technology is growing at a rapid pace. It is now routinely found in areas that heretofore had not even been imagined by our parents, let alone our grandparents. One such area where you may not have considered how technology could be used is in our cemeteries. Yes, that's right, I said cemeteries. And, of course, it is the youth who lead the way.
"A couple of months ago I was looking for an Eagle Scout project with some of my friends, and my mom showed me a website called billiongraves.com that basically is trying to record images of gravestones and log their GPS locations. Since I am into using technology, that appealed to me right away," said Cade Fuhriman, a 16-year-old high school student from Salt Lake City, Utah.
Cade's mother is Rachel (Frieden) Fuhriman, daughter of Martin and Deb Frieden, who grew up in rural Elgin and graduated from Valley High School in 1996. When Cade discovered that all the cemeteries in Utah had already been documented, his mother had an idea.
"I knew of a place just down that road from where my parents live, the Apostolic Church Cemetery, that would be perfect for a project like this. We checked it out and no one had done anything with it yet, so here we are," explained Rachel, who now lives with her husband Shawn in Salt Lake City.
The Apostolic Church Cemetery, located southeast of Elgin on Abbey Road, was mowed and cared for by the Frieden family for a number of years. Cade estimates that there are more than 400 graves to be photographed and transcribed in the cemetery, several of which belong to his relatives. As we walked among the grave markers, he stopped to do a little cleaning and take a photo of his great-great-grandfather's grave, Jacob Friederich Sr.
"There are many people buried here that are our relatives, including some with the last name of Friederich, Schneider, Butikofer, and Frieden. It's just amazing that you can do something like this, which could be very helpful to someone searching for a relative who doesn't live close by," said Deb Frieden, Cade's grandmother who lives just down the road from the cemetery.
The goal of billiongraves.com is to preserve at least one billion graves by using modern technology to capture images of headstones with their GPS locations so that users worldwide can access those records from anywhere. The site can be searched by location of a known cemetery or by an individual's name. It is relatively easy to use and anyone can create an account for free.
As Cade began the project, he expected that preparation and organization would be the most difficult part of the task.
"Doing some cleaning of the stones so that they will be readable when they are photographed will take some time, and I will have some family members helping me with that. I also have a group of 8 to 10 fellow Scouts who will help me transcribe all the information from the stones into billiongraves.com. I have to make sure that we aren't redoing graves that may have already been done and that we aren't overlooking any, as well," said the aspiring Eagle Scout.
Fuhriman is a member of Troop 7630, which is in the Great Salt Lake Council in Utah. He is hoping that after he returns home, he can complete the project within a couple of weeks. As of this writing, 502 images had been entered into billiongraves.com for the Apostolic Cemetery, which is actually located just across the county line in Clayton County.
"When I was researching the Apostolic Cemetery, I noticed that of the 127 cemeteries listed in Clayton County, only four of them had documented photos. There seems to be plenty of opportunity for anyone else who is interested in doing something like this to help document their family or community history," observed Cade.
Billiongraves.com has partnered with familysearch.org and myheritage.com to assist those who have a desire to discover more about their family history through the use of technology. Anyone who creates an account on billiongraves.com can become involved in the transcription of gravestone photos already uploaded by others like Cade. If you are interested in taking photos of gravestones, the first step is to determine if a cemetery has been documented and to what extent. After downloading the billiongraves.com app on a smart phone, you can visit the cemetery to take photographs and add to the site any information that has not already been recorded.
It might interest some to know that a search of Fayette County on billiongraves.com currently lists 59 cemeteries, of which only 11 have documented photos. On your next trip to any cemetery in Fayette County, you might want to consider taking your smart phone along and playing a role in the preservation of your community's history.
Fuhriman's interest in technology and his experience as a family historian consultant for his congregation of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City made this project a perfect fit for him. Combining those two things, as well as the connection his own family has to the Apostolic Church Cemetery has been rewarding for him.
"I hope that when this project is completed, it will benefit people here as well as people who may not live in this area but do have an interest because their family has a history here. Hopefully having the information available online will help people make connections that they wouldn't be able to otherwise," closed Fuhriman.
While technology may frustrate us from time to time, there is no doubting that it can often be used to turn a daunting task into a more manageable one. By helping to create access to information in cemeteries across the country and throughout the world, you just might be able to help someone find that lost relative for whom they have been searching. Or, like Cade Fuhriman, you might learn a little about your own family as well.

Optimizing your personal publishing with Timely
February 7, 2011
For many of us that blog this will sound familiar…I've just written my post and I think it's going to resonate with my audience but it's 11:00pm. I schedule my blog to auto publish at 9:00am the next day and to my twitter account to share quickly thereafter. The problem is that my guess is as good as yours as to whether if 9:00am is the best time for me to send out something I've written (or anything that I want to share and have people see for that matter). While a cobbled together set of analytics and tools 'may' have given me insight into what the best time is for my own publishing there is nothing automated about it.
In so many ways I'm just caught in the trap of being the social media middleware again. A few weeks ago I started to use Timely from the team at Flowtown. It has made quite an impression on me and way that I use twitter (and, anecdotally, through the sharing preference with Facebook, it made me much more efficient there as well).
If you are a curator or write an enormous amount of great content Timley does much of the heavy lifting for you. It analyzes the activity across your Twitter ID(s) and selects the chunks of time that you have the highest probability of being responded too. The Flowtown team has even exposed the most basic elements of their algorithm on Quora. Its simple to use and it works. How do I know?
I had a hunch after just a few days of using Timley, that my response rates had appeared to go up in both Twitter and Facebook posts. Take a look below:
Anecdotal is nice but the proof is in the proverbial pudding:
I've driven a substantive increase in my Klout score in addition to having a very respectable RT rate and reach.
Today Flowtown announced the official public launch of Timely which includes:
– Unlimited free accounts
– Unlimited collaborators
– A domain change to Timely.is
Check them out.
p.s., they use Awe.sm and i'm a huge fan of Jonathan and team.

Dec 30, 2010, 07:00 EST
BANNOCKBURN, Ill., Dec. 30, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- With New Year's resolutions almost a ball-drop away, Omron Healthcare, Inc. offers a cost-effective and convenient tool to step-up fitness goals in 2011 -- a pedometer.

"At Omron, we want to empower Americans to achieve and maintain personal fitness goals by providing easy-to-use and accurate fitness products," says Jill Person, product manager. "The fresh start of a new year serves as the perfect time to set goals, start tracking steps and stay motivated with the HJ-112 so you can achieve your personal best."

January 29, 2013 12:55 ET
EDMONTON, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Jan. 29, 2013) - The President of the Alberta Division of the Canadian Union of Public Employees has pledged her support for 'Common Causes' a network of progressive activists looking for a change in direction on Aboriginal, environmental and democratic issues in Canada.
"We can't fight poverty without looking at the situation in our Native communities, and those issues are tied to the way we manage our environment, and the way the Harper government is stifling democratic debate in Canada," said Marle Roberts.
'Common Causes' was marked yesterday as a day of action on Aboriginal issues to bring pressure on parliament as it resumes.
More information on the movement can be found at www.commoncauses.ca and on Facebook (www.facebook.com/CommonCausesCausesCommunes) and Twitter (www.twitter.com/Common_Causes).

One of the reasons I started my website, MarloThomas.com, was to have a place for women to come together and dream. Women should know that they don't have to hold on to an old dream that has stopped nurturing them--that there is always time to start a new dream. This week's story is about a woman who walked away from her Wall Street job to pursue her grandmother's dying wish.
By Lori Weiss
By all appearances, Barbara Bruce-Ross was living the life many women dream of. She was a financial rock star, working on Wall Street and bringing in a six-figure salary. She'd leave the office when the market closed at 4 p.m., make a stop at Neiman Marcus and maybe take a yoga class -- then she'd make her way home to her very successful husband and an apartment overlooking Manhattan.
But success and happiness don't always travel in pairs -- that seemingly perfect life was crumbling from the inside. With her marriage on shaky ground, Barbara found herself spending more and more time in the safest place she could find: at her aging grandmother's side, trying to figure out what was missing in her life.
"My grandmother saw how unhappy I was," Barbara recalled. "I was trying to numb my pain by hanging out in New York City's party scene, and Gram didn't like that. She said, 'Maybe you need something else to do.' And then she pulled out two boxes of notebooks filled with page after page of elegant script and told me to take them home."
The notebooks were filled with formulas for lotions and creams that her grandmother had begun creating at home in the 1960s. The ingredients for each of these therapeutic elixirs had come from her garden -- a floral playground where Barbara's fondest childhood memories lived, a place where she'd spent hours and hours as her grandmother tended to roses and lavender.
"I got a lot of bee stings," Barbara said with a smile, "but even those are fond memories. My grandmother would always have some sort of balm to soothe over the pain -- and she would sing these sweet lullabies as she lovingly applied them."
For her grandmother, Alice Bruce, these lotions would eventually become her own restorative cure. At the age of 49, when her husband -- Barbara's grandfather -- passed away unexpectedly, Alice poured herself into her home remedies, eventually opening a store in Greenwich, Connecticut, where she sold her fragrant creams. Decades passed, Alice grew ill and the store would ultimately shut down.
But the formulas for her home-grown beauty lotions would survive -- written in those very notebooks that she had given to Barbara. Just as she had done so many years before, Gram was offering a solution to relieve Barbara's pain.
"I thought she was crazy," Barbara said with a chuckle. "I told her, 'I'm not a chemist. I'm a financial person. I buy my creams. I get my face done by someone.' Still, I took the boxes home out of respect for my grandmother and stashed them in a corner -- until one night, when I just couldn't ignore them anymore.
"I started going through them and thought Where am I going to get pig fat," she said laughing. "The formulas were a little antiquated. That's when I started Googling and researching and talking with chemists."
Barbara kept her day job, but hired a chemist who was based on the west coast. The time difference between their cities would prove to be a godsend, as it gave Barbara three extra hours to work on her grandmother's formulas after the markets closed.
"I was so excited because I knew Gram was going to get to see her formulas reworked. What a great gift that would be!"
Once Barbara began ordering ingredients and experimenting in her kitchen, she was hooked. She began with bar soaps and, before she knew it, her home was filled with hundreds and hundreds of samples. The fragrances that were so familiar to her as a child -- gardenia, peony, hydrangea and roses -- were surrounding her once again, and the slow tranquil process of making each batch seemed to bathe her soul.
"The art of soap-making, just like working with clay, is such a delicate process," Barbara explained. "I just lost myself in it. It was such a gift because it allowed me to think about my life and what really mattered.
"Once I got the bar soaps down," she continued, "I started experimenting with lotions and liquid soaps. I thought, if I could make those, I could create the perfect basket for my grandmother."
But before Barbara could deliver the basket, Alice passed away. Heartbroken, Barbara once again sought solace in her grandmother's garden -- and basement -- where she took her soap-making to the next level.
"Something kept nudging me along. Maybe it was my grandmother -- I don't know. But I just couldn't stop."
Before she knew it, Barbara was walking the floor of the Health and Beauty Show at New York's Javits Convention Center, taking a crash course in the beauty business. Having mastered soap-making, she now wanted to learn the secret to creating lotions -- never realizing that, unlike soaps, lotions are a far more complicated process, and regulated by the FDA. She felt completely overwhelmed.
"I went to the bathroom and locked myself in a stall and cried," she remembered. "All these people knew more than I did. I hadn't been in a position like that for 15 years."
But even in her despair, she kept hearing her grandmother's voice saying, Barbara, you don't have to be a chemist, you're a businesswoman. And so she moved forward -- naming her company B. Witching Bath Co., an ode to her family name and the magic lotions that her grandmother had created.
Soon Barbara was selling more than 50 varieties of bar soaps online, and opening a small store in Ridgewood, New Jersey, which her sister and cousins would run. She continued working on Wall Street by day -- and researching the right formulas for lotions and creams at night -- stocking away the money she needed to fund her grandmother's dying wish.
Finally, at the age of 40, Barbara was ready to begin manufacturing full-time. That's when she announced that she was walking away from Wall Street.
"My co-workers thought I was crazy. Over and over again they told me there was no way I was going to make any money. But I wanted to be happy -- and this made me happy."
With manufacturing plants in Seattle and Ohio, today Barbara is producing more than 200 products, each one inspired by something from her grandmother's garden. She's opened a corporate office and second store in Hawthorne, New Jersey, and her lotions, creams, liquid soaps, bubble baths and candles are being sold in more than 700 boutiques nationwide.
Finally, success and happiness have arrived together -- both in business and in Barbara's personal life. She's now joyfully remarried and teaching her four-year-old daughter, Sophie, all the lessons her grandmother shared with her -- the most important being, how to find happiness in simple things.
"Once again," Barbara said, "she found a way to soothe even the worst stings."

It can be difficult to be clear-headed in a courting relationship. Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; imagine additionally in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it weren't so, would I have told you that I'm going to prepare a place for you? And if I'm going and prepare a spot for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that the place I am you could be also. And you know how to the place I am going." Thomas mentioned to him, Lord, we have no idea the place you are going. How can we know the way?"..
Nobody loves you fairly like your friends do, so let them set you up with someone that they can vouch for. "It is better for single folks to meet through buddies as a result of there's a familiarity and comfort that goes with that," says behavioral scientist Christie Hartman, Ph.D. "A friend setting you up means the man is 'vetted' to some extent." So allow them to play matchmaker —however first, lay down some guidelines. Make it clear forward of time that the way in which the date goes is totally not a mirrored image on your buddy, otherwise you, or the guy. Hey, sometimes chemistry is there, and generally it is not. So except your buddy is Patti Stanger, remind her that it's no one's fault if this goes horribly improper. (But if it goes totally right, it's best to most likely buy her a drink).
I was in Paris over the weekend with two girlfriends. Nicely, a girlfriend and her buddy. I'm never touring along with her buddy again. Paris was lovely and chilly. It was my first time there. Most of my previous massive journeys have been with males I've dated, man pals, male family members; and, they've taken charge of the planning, transportation, dining, et al.
In the Fall of 2015, students all through Bucks County colleges participated in the Pennsylvania Youth Survey (PAYS). This survey was a great way to realize perception on what is going on in lots of areas of the lives of scholars. It recognized particular risk and protective components that impression college students' behaviors. The PAYS survey was anonymous and confidential. Data from the survey provided perception on students' perceptions on issues associated to Mental Health & Suicide. The PAYS included questions specific to suicide, measuring depressed habits, suicidal intention, actual suicide makes an attempt and the seriousness of those attempts (by asking about requiring medical intervention).
You give what you get in life. That is one thing that all of us need to realize. If you need love, then you want to give love. If you wish to get a sure kind of treatment from others, then you definately want to have the ability to give that sort of treatment again. But when you are going to be a hypocrite, do nothing, be egocentric, and solely think of your personal emotions, then not a lot good goes to come back from it.

ATIRCM provides passive warning of missile approach using the common missile warning system (CMWS), which detects the missile, rejects false alarms, and cues the onboard infrared jamming system's jam head to the missile's location. When the jam head finds the missile with its IR tracking system, it emits a high-energy infrared beam to defeat the missile's infrared seeker.
Operational advantages
- Demonstrated field performance
- Proven effective against advanced threats
- Extremely low false alarm rate
- Efficiently tracks multiple targets
- Defeats threats early and quickly
- 85,000 logged combat hours
The ATIRCM system was developed as the result of a partnership between the U.S. Army and BAE Systems to counter the threat of shoulder-fired weapons known as ManPortable Air Defense Systems (MANPADS), which are heat-seeking missiles that sense the infrared energy generated by the heat of an aircraft engine. The system has demonstrated its effectiveness against this threat with more than 85,000 logged combat hours on numerous platforms and in various environments. Demonstrating its dependability, ATIRCM has tested several times over the reliability requirement, setting the benchmark and surpassing U.S. Army expectations.
Trusted, reliable
The ATIRCM system has proven that it can effectively protect aircraft and their crews. BAE Systems has a deep history and understanding in threat management and remains extremely proud of its continuous innovations. The company is positioned and committed for years to come, as needs and threats evolve and change. With its demonstrated reliability and continuous improvements, ATIRCM will continue to be an essential component of aircraft survivability.

Tigh Na Mara was self built and designed by Roderick James, who initially had the intention of letting it out as a holiday property: instead as the project progressed the family decided to retain it for their own use. With no time constraints the build was completed by a local builder using a timber frame designed and built by Carpenter Oak.
See some other examples of timber framed houses Scotland, or contact us to discuss your plans.
The oak frame house uses a combination of styles to great effect. The frame has oak common rafters giving a weight and character to the roof while the glazed walls use stainless steel cross bracing to accentuate the amazing views.
Each plot brings different constraints and benefits to a self build project, and it's these elements – when addressed in the right way by your timber frame designer and architect – which feed the most interesting design outcomes.
Property featured in: Homebuilding & Renovating, December 2012; Coast, February 2009, 25 Beautiful Homes, September 2008, and Homes and Interiors Scotland, August 2008
A funky design for an amazing location, situated on the edge of a loch this 2 storey oak house combines traditional elements of oak framing with contemporary additions such as stainless steel bracing – a favourite detail among the Carpenter Oak folk.
Look out for the oak and glass roof light and the stainless steel bracing in the large windows.
"A very neat, contemporary frame, the diagonal cross metal bracing was an element I'd never seen in a timber frame before, which was great fun to create"
The focus of the design was to construct a frame which was able to support Roderick's open plan design. An abundance of light was created by the open plan living space and large windows, the spectacular views of the waterside are seen throughout the inside. The fact that this house is partially built into the ground reduces its visual impact from the rear. Roderick explains:
"the lack of walls means that each living area 'borrows' space from the next making it feel larger than it actually is because you are looking beyond, not just to the next area but for miles and miles on a good day"
Tigh Na Mara was constructed using an 'Evolution Frame' - a series of affordable timber framed houses that can be adapted and extended easily in the future to respond to the owner's future lifestyle changes and family requirements.
The cutting edge cladding system can be unclipped from the timber frame and reused on future extensions. Each enlargement of the basic house design provides additional living room or bedroom space:the evolution concept house can evolve from a £60,000 two bedroom starter home to a £150,000 four bedroom family home.
See some other examples of timber framed houses Scotland, or contact us to discuss your plans.
Budget considerations are of course one of the primary factors for anyone undertaking an oak frame self build project whether it's a new build oak frame or a timber frame extension. 'How much will it cost?' is therefore a question which will be asked over and over and will almost certainly form a central thread of your project.
Overall build costs for a complete new build oak house typically vary from £1,500 to £2,000+ per square metre (referring to the useable area of the lower and upper floors added together) i.e. for a two storey property times the area by 2. We would suggest that you budget from £1,200- £1,800 per sqm (or £120-£180 per sqft).
For extensions we would suggest budgeting from £2,000 per square metre - don't forget to add VAT (for UK customers). It is worth noting that guide price is for a complete build based on a contractor doing the work with the timber frame is usually a 20-30% proportion.
If you intend to self build then expect to budget toward the lower end of the scale (although of course it may take longer!). There are several caveats with this guide price including the following key considerations:-
At every stage your decisions will affect the overall costs, from the complexity of the design to the level of finish. Engaging an architect will almost certainly save you money in the long run. Getting advice from us on the timber frame concept prior to going in for planning will minimise the risk of sending your architect 'back to the drawing board'.
We are happy to discuss your ideas with you at an early stage and can offer you advice along the way. It is helpful for you to build a scrapbook (you could use Pinterest) of your ideas and wishes – this makes your brief to us and your architect much clearer. Once you have a plot in mind we would encourage you to come and see us in the show barn at our yard to discuss your ideas in more depth and help you establish a concept design and rough costs.
You can meet with one of our frame designers and an architect if required (Roderick James Architects offer a free initial consultation). We can offer you an estimate for your budget costings at that stage based on a timber frame sketch scheme. You will then be in a position to draw up a planning application, knowing that you will be able to achieve what you want with the frame. We can offer you an accurate estimate based on a timber frame sketch scheme once you have architects drawings. Once your planning application has been approved we can get going on a detailed frame design for you.
Yes! We are happy for you to visit and look around. You can book in here to see the Show Barn or Show House. Or, pick up the phone and talk to us. Generally, our advice would be to wait until you have a plot and an idea of what you are wanting to build but we are very willing to talk through plans for a plot at any time.
At that stage you can meet with one of our frame designers, and a free consultation with one of the architects if you would like. You will get far more from your visit if you do this – it is a chance to really talk through the design, layout, style, costs, materials, options with everyone in one place. We look forward to meeting you!
We have two show houses for you to visit - read more about the different options.
As in most walks of life, if it looks too good to be true then it probably is.
We are different and instead pursue excellence – we look to be the best at what we do whilst maintaining affordability, accurate and realistic pricing – we seek the trust and loyalty of our clients as this is the basis of positive working relationships which last beyond the raising of the frame.
All of our Oak is from sustainably managed woodlands located around a single sawmill in Normandy, France (PEFC certifified). When this mill is unable to fulfil our order we divert to an alternative mill in Germany. The mills have access to a plentiful supply of exceptionally well managed and very high quality timber.
Why not use UK sourced oak, I hear you ask? Sadly, the lack of investment and good timber management for hardwoods in this country over many years means our domestic supplies are generally of a lower quality, inconsistent supply and can be more expensive. Although the situation will gradually change, it means that currently continental Oak is the best option for our framing. Carpenter Oak Ltd are investing in the future of UK woodlands.
For every tree used in a project we will donate 10 Oak saplings to an organised planting scheme in the UK
Douglas Fir and Larch all comes from sustainably managed UK forests.
Yes. If you are looking for a complete build or 'Turnkey' service, we can offer a solution to include each stage of the process, from the feasibility assessment, design, management and construction, right through to completion. We pride ourselves on being adaptable as every client is different. We can offer a number of routes for you and your project, depending on how involved you want to get. We aim to understand your particular situation and respond to deliver what you need. For many people that means us working as a contractor alongside your architect and builder, for others, involvement at each stage or a self build project. Get in touch to find out which route would suit your project best and we can deliver a range of options from a finished frame to a finished house, ready for you to move into.

The Department of Energy awarded a $550 million research project to Michigan State University today, disappointing officials at Argonne National Laboratory, which was the other finalist for the prized facility.Federal officials say the university's application was superior, in part because its proposed budget is "reasonable and realistic" and because it offered to share some of the costs to build the facility for rare isotope beams.
Argonne officials had estimated the cutting-edge research facility would have brought $250 million into the local economy during its eight-year construction, with a total local economic impact exceeding $1 billion. Once completed, the facility would have created 290 jobs and had an economic impact of $80 million a year, they said.
The Department of Energy said the facility will provide research opportunities for about 1,000 scientists and students from around the world.

I began fly fishing at concerning the era of 13 with my grandfather's flyrod, mostly for bluegills and bass while in the several freshwater lakes I came across growing up near Satellite Beach, California, and continued for a while after moving to Titusville, mostly at Fox Lake. My rod was a-5 wt.
{ In fact no different unnatural I think imitates Bay Anchovies, quite like a light-colored streamer, or our summer communities of Glass Minnows. And perhaps a better selection of species could be trapped also, although they are typically smaller in dimensions that other artificials, which may not simply attract strikes from more cautious fish. Using the same # 6 "Crazy Charley" pattern I have caught fish starting to 2 lb. Seatrout to Pinfish. Not that I definitely get excited about getting the pinfish, but when I have the ability to find a legal size Mangrove Snapper while fishing for Redfish or Seatrout, I am not going to protest.
Firstly, with saltwater fly fishing you will be throwing greater, more wind resistant flies than you would with a freshwater trout rod. Thus you will be using a greater flyrod that is stronger tossing a heavier line. In fly fishing, unlike spinning, it's the line that carries to attract through the cast's weight, not the attraction carrying the line.| Thus you will use a bigger better fly rod putting a more heavy line. In fly fishing, unlike spinning, it's the weight of the line that carries to lure through the throw, not the range being carried by the appeal.

Employee Engagement, Culture, Leadership Top Issues in 2015
In his "Predictions for 2015" report for Deloitte Consulting LLC, Josh Bersin underscores the need for organizations to re-direct their focus on employee engagement, corporate culture and leadership. Why? Many employees are "overwhelmed" and employee engagement and retention is at an all-time low.
"While many people are still looking for work, more and more people are getting fed up with the 24/7 work environment…so they go to social websites like LinkedIn or Glassdoor.com"– and they get job offers. The companies that win the competition for the best and brightest employees are those that are "focused on mission, culture, and leadership," Bersin says. "They understand that people are not 'talent'"; rather, the most desirable companies to work understand that employees are fully-developed people who have "their own personal needs and aspirations."
I would add that the following leadership communication practices are highly effective tools for accomplishing Bersin's recommended goals:
- Establishing personal connections with employees through regular direct contact
- Communicating clearly and consistently about mission, values and goals, and
- Demonstrating vulnerability by sharing stories from the leader's own experiences to impart important lessons learned
A writer on the ever-changing landscape of business-driven learning, HR and talent management, he bases these views on a survey by Glassdoor.com. It reveals clear differences between companies where employees are highly engaged and those where employees are actively disengaged.
Bersin says that the transformation he sees in today's workforce is the most dramatic he's seen in years. He says the main drivers for business success are "Engagement, Experience, and Environment… because ultimately employee engagement is all a business has." He calls on leaders to direct their energies to building "highly engaged teams" along with achieving the desired business results, and his report includes guidelines on how to make this critical shift.

it's a classic - one of the scariest first thrillers
I know!! The shower scene is still so freaky! What a great piece of cinema.
One of my all time favourites? Scared the crap out of me when I was 6.
If this is a film print of the movie I want in. If this is a digital copy of the film - no thanks - I'll wait for the Blu-ray coming out and watch it on my big screen tv. Does anyone know?

Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA), noted whistleblower champion, reviewed all 15 executive branch departments for their compliance with an important whistleblower law, releasing his findings last week. The results were not good. Only the Treasury Department received a passing grade.
At issue is the so-called "anti-gag" protections mandated by the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act ("WPEA"). This provision requires agencies to make it clear to employees that, regardless of any non-disclosure agreements they may sign, they are at all times free to report suspected wrongdoing to appropriate authorities.
While the Treasury received a B+ for its compliance with this key whistleblower protection, the other end of the spectrum was not so pretty. Nine departments earned a C because they could show only partial compliance with the law. For the remaining five, including the Justice Department, it was even uglier: D's and F's because they could not demonstrate even partial compliance, or flat-out refused to do so.
As Grassley noted in an op-ed piece in The Hill: "Transparency and accountability are not partisan issues. It is in the public interest to let the sun shine on waste, fraud, abuse and mismanagement. Whistleblowers protect the integrity of government." Only time will tell whether the government has learned its lesson from "Professor" Grassley.

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has played down Benik Afobe's heated exchange with his former club Wolves, insisting he has no problem with the striker's attitude.
Afobe, who joined the Cherries on a four-and-a-half-year deal from Wolves last month and has already scored three goals for his new side, took to Twitter on Thursday to label criticism from senior figures at his previous club "shocking and very hurtful".
Wolves head of recruitment Kevin Thirlwell accused Afobe of not trying and chief executive Jez Moxey claimed he did not want to play for the club, despite the fact the player scored 22 goals – including 10 in the first half of this season – in 46 Championship appearances during his year with the Molineux club.
Afobe added: "Some people at Wolves are hanging me out to dry to save their own backs but I won't let my reputation be tarnished."
Howe, speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday's Barclays Premier League game against Stoke, said he was not concerned about the row, and was pleased with how the player had settled in.
"I think from our perspective we are only concerned about the future and not the past," the 38-year-old said.
"I think what happened with Wolves is really their relationship – I don't think it has anything to do with us.
"When signing Benik, I think we acted in the right way and we are delighted to get the player – and he has started very well for us.
"With Benik I would rather talk about how well he has done and the future and I think Benik is the same."
He added: "I have no problem with Benik's attitude. You can only react with people as you see fit.
"You cannot look back. He has come in, he has a really good work ethic, a really good temperament to the games and I have to say there are positive signs for the future."
The Cherries on Saturday face a Stoke side who have lost their last three Premier League games, but Howe does not believe that will make them any easier to beat.
"I just think it is the Premier League," he said. "Watching their games, there has been very little between them and the other sides but they have had a couple of disappointing results.
"They have got very dangerous individuals that we need to be aware of. They have quality in their team, so we expect a very difficult test.
"I think (Stoke manager Mark Hughes) has done a really good job when you consider he has changed their way of playing and that is a very difficult thing to do and get results, so I think he deserves a lot of credit for the job he has done. The players he has recruited, he has made them very strong."
Forward Max Gradel – out since August with a knee injury – resumed training with the Cherries this week, but Howe acknowledged the former Leeds and St Etienne forward still had a way to go before a first-team return.
"He is back and it has been really good to see Max," the Bournemouth boss said. "He has been away intermittently and to have a character like him back in the dressing room has been really good because he is infectious.
"In terms of the injury, we should not get ahead of ourselves. He still has a way to go before he is available to play. He has not kicked a ball in training yet so there is still a road for him to overcome before he is available."
