Happy Easter to you and your men as well. Did you load them up with chocolate? I spread ours out over the weekend in little bits. I was given so much from boys at work and i had some already put away. Today is last day of indulgence then its back on the wagon. I love your little egg cover. I dont think ive sat at a table and had boiled eggs for breakfast in 20 years.ReplyDeleteReplies
Happy Easter to you too, Lynda. No, only one Red Tulip bunny for our son that's all. No chocolate for me and hubby doesn't need any either. We are going to my sister's place for lunch and she will have some junk food there I am sure :-) I will turn away!Delete

Happy Easter. We got muddy in all that rain. Our son was eating mud and chocolate eggs. I think he enjoyed the mud more. I seriously try and stop him, but sometimes he's too quick for me. ;)ReplyDeleteReplies
Chris, we only got 27mm of rain over the whole of Easter but still any rain is appreciated. It looks like it has all moved out to sea now so back to the sunshine. A cold breeze was blowing this afternoon which was telling me that winter is on the way up here on the hill.Delete

text: (First entry forgive my ignorance) After firmware 1.02.7 I saw that wag54g supports WDS. Not being familiar how wds functions I guess that after declaring the MAC addresses of the 2 boxes (on to the other in the WDS section) and them having the same ssid then they create a logical bridge between them without loosing the ability to serve hosts as APs (please correct if wrong). So I was thinking of installing two external antennas on each router and make them connect on the same subnet with one of them being a gateway to the internet (the distance is about 500 meters). Is this scenario possible ? Thank you

Clock motors are just what manage the functioning of timepieces. Clock motors, or activities (as they are contacted the trade), track the variety of sent out pulses from a quartz crystal, as well as therefore derive how much to rotate all the hands. Offered the variety of attributes that happen in clocks, both ordinary as well as exotic, these tools can occasionally be quite idiosyncratic.
Early clock electric motors were strictly mechanical devices. Rotational torque applied to the primary gear was gotten from a dangling weight or a snugly curled springtime, as well as the moment-to-moment turning was limited with use of an escapement device. A swinging pendulum could be adjusted to make improvements the ticking frequency.
In modern times electronic devices have mostly provided the old mechanical frameworks outdated. Quartz crystals release pulses at a steadily steady price, making for a remarkably reliable timing source with class. Instead of a network of gears we have counting registers that convert the pulse stream right into hours, minutes, and seconds.
A clock electric motor's peculiarities come about not just from the variety of potential attributes however additionally from the huge variety of functionalities it may be called upon to furnish. In addition, these performances are not limited to temporal ones but likewise could incorporate specializeds such as chiming and screen of climate details.
An usual functionality difference is the 12-hour clock cycle versus the 24-hour cycle. In the previous there are twelve characters or placeholders along the circumference of the dial and the minute hand makes a loads changes for each transformation of the hour hand. In the latter twice as lots of numerals appear and also the distribution becomes 24 to 1.
parts of a clock
Another usual distinction is whether there is a used consisted of. Furthermore, if it is consisted of there are two varieties. One displays the usual jerky motion with audible ticks, while the various other second hand steps efficiently and silently in a constant move.
Some clock electric motors support not simply three hands, however four hands, raising in idiosyncratic behavior. The temporal cycle is expanded also much longer, such that the 4th hand monitors the day of the week (for an overall 7-day cycle) or the date within the month (an approximately 30-day cycle).
Currently let's check out just what's included with a climate motion rather than a clock motion (which are not constantly equally unique). The sensations that may be displayed (in different combinations) are temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, as well as tide level. In the very first 3 of these, sensors take a straight measurement and also show the value as opposed to counting elapsed pulses.
When it comes to tide level, tracking is largely temporal, yet it's a mixture of info from both solar and also lunar cycles. Likewise, neighborhood conditions greatly affect the variation in tide level and to a minimal degree impact the moment lag in level from the positions of the heavenly bodies. These peculiarities imply that trend motions need to be adjusted.
Accessorizing the average motor makes it even more unique and complex. Chimes and pendulums are one of the most usual accessories. Nowadays chimes are recordings (or sets of recordings) that appear on the hour or quarter-hour and potentially followed with an hour count.
Occasionally the customer has the option to record sounds to play as the chime. And one typically has an option as to traditional chime patterns (e.g., Westminster, Wellington).
Motors that support (cosmetic) pendulums give attachments that oscillate every second. You then have a choice of colors, designs, and even sizes.
Seeing the intricacies and peculiarities of old Swiss clocks and the like frequently brings awe to the beholder. These mechanical marvels genuinely are a wonder. Nonetheless, though electronic devices have changed mechanics, it is still interesting to observe the foibles of modern clock electric motors.

Two of the non-traditional planks of the federal farm bill — greatly expanded conservation funding and the first ever specialty crops programs — netted praise for the House Agriculture Committee in a rare appearance in California.
Collin Peterson, D-Min., Committee chair, brought his congressional panel to the heart of California agriculture, Fresno, to get input from farmers and ranchers on the 2012 farm bill. Fresno County is the No. 1 agricultural county in the nation with $5.6 billion in income from more than 250 crops.
Although helpful, the traditional farm programs have not played well in California. The No. 1 agricultural state in the nation ranks ninth among 50 states in subsidies from 1995 through 2009, according to the Environmental Working Group (EWG). Only about 10 percent of California's farmers get direct subsidies.
Fruit, vegetable and nut producers account for about half of the $36 billion value of the state's agricultural economy and get almost no direct support.
California agriculture is also the most regulated in the nation with strict air and water quality regulations. The federal $150 million Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP) has helped farmers like Caruthers, Calif., almond grower Tony Campos meet air quality standards to stay in business. Campos has utilized part of the $37 million in EQIP funds California has receive to replace farm and processing equipment.
EQIP funding was used to purchase 340 low emission replacement tractors and processing equipment.
"This program has been one of the most successful in reducing PM 10 and PM 2.5," noted Campos, who requested that funding in the 2012 farm bill increase to $400 million.
"There is a great demand for replacement of the older Tier 0 engines in both farm and processing equipment," Campos told the congressmen at the hearing in Fresno City Council chambers. Many growers are small and cannot afford to replace these engines without EQIP assistance.
Praise for federal support to meet state air and water quality regulations drew measured criticism from Frank Lucas, ranking minor member of Oklahoma, who questioned why federal funds should be used to help meet state regulations.
Most of California's regulations are in place to meet federal Clean Air and Clean Water acts. Five Points, Calif., farmer John Diener also responded that the farm bill is designed to protect the nation's food supply and California produces 40 percent of that. Unless farmers meet the water and air quality standards, they cannot continue to produce that food.
Fresh produce from California, a critical part of the food pyramid, is shipped to the nation daily, Diener reminded the Congressmen.
Although the last farm bill ventured into new areas, Diener suggested the next farm bill should cast an even bigger net in support of American agriculture.
"'We must embrace the American farmer's ability to be innovative and forward thinking by including broader definitions for programs that include our expanding technologies," said the second-generation San Joaquin Valley farmer.
Diener is involved in a wide array of innovations to cut costs, use less water, mitigate a growing land drainage issue and generate energy. This includes a new co-op multi-resource project to create energy from sugar beets at a beet plant that closed a year and a half ago; a perched, saline water clean up project using desalination technology that also produces marketable minerals; conservation tillage to reduce fuel costs and using an old technology new to California, center pivots, to mitigate dwindling water supplies and increasing irrigation labor costs.
Rice is one of the few California crops receiving direct crop support payments. Live Oak, Calif., rice grower Frank Rehermann, a California Rice Commission member, told the committee "the current farm bill is working and that reforms adopted in 2008 are having a tremendous effect."
Although farm program spending on rice has been reduced from $1.2 billion to just over $400 million annually, farmers receive a "small, but predictable" level of ongoing support and have the "benefit of a greater safety net when market prices fall."
The Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) and the Supplemental Revenue Assurance (SURE) programs were part of the last farm bill. They were created as an alternative to the counter cyclical payments and as a standing disaster assistance supplement to federal crop insurance.
However, Rehermann said "These programs do not work for rice as evidenced by the nearly non-existent sign-ups for these programs." The other California farmer panelists indicated to the committee that they do not use these programs. He added the federal crop Insurance program does not work for rice growers. Most others who spoke said the crop insurance programs do not fit California agriculture well.
Rehermann asked the committee for help in opening up Cuba to trade with the U.S. Cuba, he said, is a potential 400,000 to 600,000-ton market for U.S. rice. On another trade front, Rehermann said the WTO DOHA round is making matters worse for rice producers. "Enshrining in our trade agreements decisive advantages for our trading partners … may be marketed as trade liberalization in Washington and Geneva, but we see it as picking winners and losers in the global economy based on politics." He cited specifically trade deals with China, India and Brazil.
The specialty crop funding in the current farm bill brought praise from Jamie Strachan, president of Growers Express, an eight-grower marketing organization that ships out 15 million cartons of produce annually from a ground base of 50,000 acres.
Based in Salinas, Calif., Growers Express also grows produce in Arizona, Mexico, Oregon, Michigan and Ohio.
While Growers Express benefits from most of the programs contained in the farm bill, Strachan cited four for extra credit:
• The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Snack Program
• The Department of Defense Fresh Program
• The Specialty Crop Block Grant Program
• The Specialty Crop Research Initiative
Strachan supports them not only because they increase consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables, but they help develop good eating habits to overcome childhood obesity, among other benefits.
"The specialty crop policies and programs contained in the 2008 farm bill generated broad industry support and have helped enhance the competitiveness of our industry, as well as address specialty crop needs," he concluded.
Modesto, Calif., tree fruit and tree nut grower Paul Van Konynenburg, echoed Strachan praise of the specialty crop programs and wants to see them expanded in the 2010 farm bill.
The snack program is particularly effective with long storage and long season crops like apples and table grapes and for school districts with efficient logistics and distribution infrastructure.
However, many districts do not have efficient infrastructures and Van Konynenburg would like to see the program expanded to smaller districts who cannot handle large volumes of fresh product by including items like fruit snack cups and boxes of raisins.
The diversified Modesto grower, whose family has been growing fruit and nut crops for more than 100 years, has a long list of improvements he would like to include in the 2012 farm bill.
One was agricultural labor reform. Improvement in the H2-A guest worker program and passage of the AgJOBs bill would help, he said.
Ag labor is not about pay, he noted, since many of the jobs pay well above minimum wage. "The work is physically demanding and seasonal. It is next to impossible to find American workers who are capable and willing to do the work."
With meaningful labor reform, Van Konynenburg said the nation's fresh fruit industry will be forced offshore where labor is available.
Although not under the umbrella of the farm bill and USDA, several growers asked for help from the committee in California's water crisis and the "use and abuse" of the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA).
David Roberts, Visalia, Calif., citrus grower and board chairman of California Citrus Mutual, recommended that the next farm bill include mandated participation from USDA and landowners in the biological opinions of the Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service.
"Without adequate input, without transparency and without balanced direction, but with a bias, these services are robbing farmers like me of our crop protection tools, our water, our land and ultimately our ability to farm in an economically viable manner," he said.
Availability of water to irrigate is often entangled in ESA and the water issue was repeatedly brought up in the hearing, even though the committee has little to do with the issue.
The California water crisis is threatening the existence of the state's No. 1 industry, according to U.S. Rep. Devin Nunes.
Unless the crisis is resolved politically, "there may be no one left in agriculture in California in 10 or 20 years," said the young congressman from the Tulare area.
Nunes has been one of the most vocal critics of the federal and state water policies and their impact on water deliveries to farmers.
"There is a 100 percent water supply behind dams and only a 40 percent water supply to farms," he said.

Yes, it's likely made in China
Chinese manufacturers set to make 80% of world's mobile phones in 2012
16 Nov 2012
Week in China
Chinese handset manufacturers are expected to produce more than one billion devices this year, a tenfold increase from a decade ago. That accounts for 80% of the world's supply.
But big volumes don't necessarily translate into big returns. Despite its huge share of handset production, China captured just 1% of the industry's profits, according to Xinhua. Unsurprisingly, the bulk goes to the companies that design and market the world's handsets – with companies like Samsung and Apple most likely to cash-in.
"Chinese enterprises may be the number one in sales, but when it comes to profitability they are hardly competitive," says Liu Chun, an industry expert. Worse, profitability is even lower for cheaper phones – i.e. the sort Chinese firms make for developing markets. This depresses overall profitability given these phones can account for as much as 40% of handsets made in China.
For instance, manufacturers make no more than Rmb3 on phones costing Rmb400 that are shipped to Africa, according to estimates in Xinhua. That's a profit margin of just 0.75% – hardly the sort of return likely to get shareholders excited.
Chinese enterprises may be the number one in sales, but when it comes to profitability they are hardly competitive.
According to the same report, China has at least 560 handset makers, up from 480 a year ago, and most of them sell into the low-end, low-margin segment at home or overseas. "In the first eight months of the year our average sale price was only $33.3, and most of the domestic handsets are shanzhai (counterfeit) phones," Liu told
Jinan Daily.
He continued: "It is shocking how low the profit margin is. We only try to make it up in volume. The fact is the business has very poor prospects."
Such concerns are heightened by the experiences of more established handset makers like Nokia and Motorola, both of which have seen their margins drop steadily despite increases in sales volume.
The problem is that most Chinese handset makers are struggling to move from being contract manufacturers to becoming consumer brands, says Jiefang Daily. They focus on assembling handsets and spend little time or money on product innovation, branding or marketing.
At least some are trying to make the transition, telecom giants Huawei and ZTE among them. Both have made inroads into developing branded products of their own. Still, the journey can be a difficult one. Currently, price competition in the lower tier of the market is so fierce that ZTE is thought to be losing money in its own handset business, says The Economist. "ZTE provides mainly low-price mobile phones in China. This helped it gain market share but still brings low profit margins," Ji Chendong, a consultant with KPMG, told the China Daily.
ZTE is the world's fourth biggest mobile phone maker but in the first nine months the firm recorded a loss of Rmb1.75 billion ($280.9 million).
TCL, another of China's better known consumer electronics firms, is struggling with a similar problem. It announced in late October that net profit for the first nine months of the year was down 99% to $1.2 million. It blamed this steep drop on lower margins from its handset business. "In the past nine months, both the sales volume and profit margin of feature phones [i.e. basic models] have dropped. At the same time, we have increased our research and development expenses in smartphones [which have higher margins]," TCL advised.
To stay viable over the longer run, Chinese enterprises will need to think more about moving up the value chain and relying less on competing on cost. But that's easier said than done. The smartphone market is already highly competitive. And while the higher-end of the business is dominated by Apple and Samsung, an increasing portion of smartphone sales in China itself is priced more thinly at below Rmb1,000. In a market fought over by hundreds of phone makers, that doesn't seem to leave much prospect for fat profits.

I am not going to cry when you leave.
I know that's what you're expecting, I don't blame you. All my actions leading up to this point have been emotionally raw. The last time you left we sat at the train station for 45 minutes with my head on your chest, trying to pull ourselves together.
I promise this time will be different.
When you leave, when I finally stop smelling your sweater, stop running my hands through your hair, stop leaning over to kiss you gently on the cheek; I will allow myself one minute to let despair catch up with me. I will clench my fists, breathe deeply and then choose to be happy.
I am going to miss you, my god, I am going to miss you. But as I've learnt, my dear, I can not afford to burden you with the responsibility of my happiness. You are a small part of my joy, but you are not the force holding me together. I am my own little hero, I am saving my own little heart.
When you leave, when I stop living in the golden haze that comes with you, I am going to continue studying for my test tomorrow. I am going to wake up early for class, celebrate my birthday with the people I love and read books that I will clutch to my chest, laughing until my breath stops.
When you leave I am still going to sprint down boulevards, yelling after all the devils I'm chasing. I am still going to dance around my bedroom to aggressive banjo solos and obscure bands. I am still going to grin maniacally at absurdities.
I am my happiness, darling. There may be a place for you in my ribcage, but I own my soul.
And my soul has decided to be euphoric.

Paper + People = Welcome!
Welcome to Paper + People, the blog of the Cunningham Center for the Study of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs at the Smith College Museum of Art.
What is the Cunningham Center?
The Cunningham Center for the Study of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs is a rich resource of works on paper created between the 15th century and the present day. Comprising over 70% of the holdings of the Smith College Museum of Art, the Cunningham Center allows visitors direct, barrier-free, interactions with prints, drawings, photographs and illustrated books of their choosing.
In many ways, a museum study center (sometimes also called a "print room") is a physical version of this blog—a place to share information, learn about different things, and get people and paper together. If you check this blog regularly (and we hope you do) you will hear from many different voices: curators, students, conservators, professors, and artists, as well as about many different topics concerning works on paper at the Smith College Museum of Art and elsewhere. We will share updates on acquisitions, classes, special projects, new research on the collection, exhibitions, and programs, and lots and lots of pictures, among many other things. Let us know what YOU want to hear about! The collection includes over 16,000 prints, drawings, photographs and illustrated books, so there's bound to be something of interest to you in our holdings.
Once you've explored us virtually, visit us in person: the Cunningham Center is open weekdays by appointment to anyone interested in accessing the rich works on paper at the Smith College Museum of Art.

Publisher: Ace (March 27, 2007)
ebook: 276 pages
Series: Kate Daniels #1
Add on: Goodreads
Rating: 4 of 5 stars
One moment magic dominates, and cars stall and guns fail. The next, technology takes over and the defensive spells no longer protect your house from monsters. Here skyscrapers topple under onslaught of magic; werebears and werehyenas prowl through the ruined streets; and the Masters of the Dead, necromancers driven by their thirst of knowledge and wealth, pilot blood-crazed vampires with their minds.
In this world lives Kate Daniels. Kate likes her sword a little too much and has a hard time controlling her mouth. The magic in her blood makes her a target, and she spent most of her life hiding in plain sight. But when Kate's guardian is murdered, she must choose to do nothing and remain safe or to pursue his preternatural killer. Hiding is easy, but the right choice is rarely easy…
Sometimes you just need to read a story with a kickass heroine. There's nothing better. Kate Daniels is the protagonist in Magic Bites, the first book in a series by Ilona Andrews, and she's awesome. She's got this snark and straightforward attitude, and isn't afraid to fight back.
When in doubt and in need of information, find a snitch and squeeze him. That was one of the very few investigative techniques I was aware of. As a matter of fact, that and the "annoy principals involved until the guilty party decides to kill you" pretty much summed it up for me. (ebook, 16%)
We also meet a quite a few other characters during this book. One of them is Curran, the Beast Lord, who is a swoon worthy character. He and Kate don't seem to get along very well, but there's something there that screams that there's a potential romantic future there. Even though I want there to be romantic things happening, what's nice about the book is how romance takes a backseat to the bigger issues at hand.
When it came to the magical, mythical creatures that appear in the story, Ilona Andrews didn't hold her punches. These are the creepy beings that are the stuff of nightmares, and not just the sparkly, teenaged heartthrobs that appeared in Twilight. Even for people who are easily frightened, Ilona Andrews walks a fine line between being too creepy and just creepy enough.
The idea behind how magic works in this urban fantasy was unique. The magic ebbs and flows. Sometimes magic will be accessible. Other times technology will be functional. Sometimes the two are able to work at the same time, but it is rare. It's fun to see the characters riding horses and mules on the off chance tech stops and their cars no longer run while they're chasing down leads. There's so much more that could be explored with the magic system in this world, and I'm hoping that in the later books Ms. Andrews goes into a bit more.
Overall, despite the overused nature of the many pieces that go into an urban fantasy, Ilona Andrews does good making them seem fresh, interesting, and fun. This is a good start to what should (hopefully) be a great series. I recommend this for anyone who isn't afraid of reading an urban fantasy with a cool heroine and some creepy creatures.

Achieving commercial success through innovation is highly desirable, but difficult to achieve in practice. 500f product development costs are likely to result in a failed product and in some sectors, such as FMCGs, this figure is more like 75%. What is the problem? Typically, out of nine month's product development cycle, only two weeks are devoted to the generation of ideas and creative design - the "front end". This is the missing link - insufficient idea generation and creativity management, or the pre-development phase, can lead to the failure of the product. So, what can you do to avoid product failure? Requirements Capture is the "front end". It is the processs by which the needs, preferences and requirements of individuals and groups significant to product development are researched and identified. Requirements cature defines: * Customer, user and market requirements * Design requirements * Technical requirements The requirements capture model constitutes three phases: * Information gathering * Information transformation * Requirements generation In this book, Margaret Bruce and Rachel Cooper present and explain requirements capture in a step-by-step, practical guide that will enable you to plan and implement the process successfully within your organisation. Whether you produce food products or technically complex products, this book will be an invaluable asset in assisting your product development process.

Nick Merrill, a spokesman for Hillary Clinton, accused Jewish author Daniel Halper of trying to make a "quick buck" off of his upcoming book "Clinton Inc."
The Huffington Post asked Nick Merrill, a spokesman for Hillary Clinton, about the suggestion that someone affiliated with the Clintons leaked the book while posing as an anti-Clinton conservative.
"No clue," Merrill said in an email, "but it's sad to see Daniel Halper join the discredited and disgraced ranks of Ed Klein and Jeff Gerth, all for the sake of making a quick buck."
Merrill's choice of words does not appear to be a misstatement. It's apparent the Clinton campaign is shifting away from talk of a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy to instead accuse journalists of being financially motivated for aggressively vetting a potential American president.
Just yesterday, Clinton herself described those looking into her background as part of a "cottage industry."
Greed is now the motive for serious journalism.
The Clinton Machine has taken a cynical and calculated turn towards dog-whistling Jewish reporters like Halper, or anyone who dares do what the mainstream media surely will not.

In an effort to boost severely disappointing attendance figures, Kentucky's controversial Creation Museum recently added an outdoor zip line attraction, which has been criticized as not really have anything to do with the Bible. Local WLWT reports that the Lord himself has weighed in:
A staff member was injured Wednesday while clearing guests from a zip line at the Creation Museum.
Staffers had cleared the lines before 1:20 p.m. as storms moved into Boone County. Museum officials said a male staffer touched an object that had been energized by lightning and was injured. He was taken to an area hospital as a precaution, but his injuries were not considered to be serious.
The zip line attraction opened this spring to help the religion-themed museum attract a wider audience.

You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
On-Demand Webinar
|Take a corporate IQ test
|How smart is your company? Like an intelligent person, an intelligent company understands itself and its environment.
|By Thomas M. Koulopoulos
June, 1998
Organizations seeking to measure how well they are leveraging and applying their "knowledge" can take a corporate IQ test. By answering a series of questions and calculating scores based on a proprietary weighting system, a manager can determine the intelligence of his or her organization.
A corporate IQ test administered by The Delphi Group looks at about 100 attributes, from how teams are structured, to the specific technologies used to assist the exchange of information and ideas, to the percentage of profits attributable to recent products. Several hundred individuals within an organization take the quiz. Their answers are compiled and analyzed to determine a corporate IQ.
Last year, The Delphi Group conducted a corporate IQ survey of large U.S. companies via the Web. The results from the 350 responding companies can be found at http://www.delphigroup.com/km/ci_responses.html.
The questions on the survey, as in the corporate IQ tests The Delphi Group administers for client companies, focus on four areas of organizational behavior and function:
1. Internal awareness
Internal awareness
Internal awareness is most basic. Corporate intelligence is primarily about an organization's ability to understand itself. Internal awareness is not only having your house in order, but knowing what order your house is in. In simplest terms, internal awareness is the ability to answer the question: What do you do? In other words, what are your core competencies? Sun knew its competencies were in universal platforms long before Java and the Web. If you know your competency, you can quickly map it to the market.
A company that is internally aware has access to disparate pools of knowledge within the organization, even if they might not be considered relevant in the current market context.
Can you answer "yes" to the following corporate IQ questions?
Internal responsiveness
Awareness of its own competencies does not guarantee an organization a clear path to successful products or services. An organization may be well aware of its strengths and of the market demand, yet be unable to effect change within itself quickly enough to meet market requirements.
The Delphi Group's analysis of its survey of 350 companies indicates that the respondents' external awareness was 30% greater than their internal responsiveness. In other words, they said they were better at understanding the market than at rallying and coordinating their resources to prepare for a response. No wonder so many of the survey respondents indicated that a good idea had a better chance of resulting in a new startup or ending up at a competitor than of being capitalized on by their own organizations.
Internal responsiveness is a company's ability to translate competencies into teams with the skills and tools to bring a product to market. If you can't move quickly, all the market awareness in the world won't help.
Can you answer "yes" to the following questions?
External awareness
External awareness is an organization's understanding of how the market perceives the value associated with its products and services. When coupled with internal awareness, external awareness may allow a company to exploit spontaneous market opportunities. External awareness can be heightened through extranets, call centers, and methods that increase your organization's intimacy with the market.
Can you answer "yes" to the following questions?
External responsiveness
The often-repeated advice about listening to customers is just the first step to establishing external responsiveness. External responsiveness is most often enhanced by using intelligent push/pull technologies or intelligent call centers that deliver products to customers who may not even have thought to ask for them. The survey found a marketing VP who claimed to be able to come up with a new product idea at 8 a.m., roll it out to his call center the same morning, and find out if it would sell by noon.
Can your company answer "yes" to the following questions?
While an individual may be stuck with his or her IQ, there are techniques and tools to increase the corporate IQ. Some are information-technology related, such as call centers, knowledge management systems, and groupware, but the most important way of increasing corporate IQ is changing the corporate culture. Unfortunately, there's no Cliff's Notes a company can use to make that leap. It takes time. //

I've already had the great opportunity to speak with several women about their recovery from eating disorders and emotional eating (you can find the interviews here). I hope to regularly feature Q&As with individuals who've recovered from eating disorders, binge eating, negative body image or any kind of disordered eating. If you'd like to share your story of recovery, I'd love to hear from you! You can email me at [email protected]
5. What were the toughest parts of your recovery and how did you get through them?
I think some of the hardest parts were when I had began eating normally again and my friends and family stopped paying attention. When I was sick (and at the beginning of recovery) my friends would watch me like a hawk when I ate (and when I was finished). When they figured that I was "okay," I struggled with the temptations of indulging my ED behaviors. In recovery I learned that I was going to be on my own with these temptations for the rest of my life and it was up to ME to make the choice to stay healthy.
I also struggled a lot at my grad school job (at a bar), which was a very triggering place. Not only was I surrounded by terrible (albeit delicious) food all day, but everyone drank a TON after shifts. It was a very unhealthy place for me to be, but I had few employment options while in school full time, so I had to stick it out. It wasn't until I finally quit that I truly got well again.
6. Do you still struggle with eating disordered thoughts and behaviors? If so, how do you overcome them?
Absolutely. There is no "cure" for an eating disorder. Successful recovery is about making the choice every day to be healthy and about understanding your triggers and finding ways to deal with them constructively. There are definitely days when I struggle. If I've had a big meal and feel very full and sluggish (feeling full is a big trigger of mine), if I skip the gym for a few days, if I'm stressed or emotionally drained—all of these are times when I struggle.
Overcoming triggers and hard times requires practice and patience. When I'm feeling really full, I'll do some stretching or take a short walk. If I'm feeling emotional or stressed, I take baths or tune out in front of the TV with a glass of wine. Sometimes even a quick run or a bike ride helps, too. You have to learn what works for YOU. The key for all eating disordered people is to be good to ourselves. We need to give ourselves a break, take time to relax and breathe. For me, the hardest part of recovery has been to ease up on myself. To find balance in all aspects of my life: food, fun, work, family, and friends. There are plenty of days when it would be really easy to just binge and walk into the bathroom and throw up. But when I think about the reasons that I chose to get better in the first place, it makes the idea of giving in to eating disordered behaviors a lot less appealing.
7. What are some misconceptions about eating disorders?
*That it isn't a valid medical condition. I'm infuriated when I see insurance companies refusing to cover treatment for eating disorders.
* People who have eating disorders are always skinny. Not true. There are so many kinds of eating disorders that it is almost impossible to diagnose a person just by looking at them.
*Eating disorders are about food. Again, not true. The eating disorder is just a symptom of much deeper, complex issues.
8. Many people don't realize the physical consequences of eating disorders, including electrolyte imbalances, irregular heartbeat, osteoporosis, severe tooth decay and digestive problems. Did you experience any health problems as a result of your eating disorder?
I had the WORST heartburn for years and years (even after I was finished with recovery) from all of the throwing up. I also have some super fun chronic GI issues that I am sure have something to do with all of the abuse I put my body through. I am very lucky, though. I have been able to manage most of my residual ED health issues through diet, exercise and regular blood work. When I look back, I am very present to the fact that I could have died at any moment. At the worst of my ED, I was throwing up 30 plus times a day. My heart was under such stress that I could have had a heart attack any minute. I don't think people realize how serious the risks are. I am very, very lucky that I made it through with only a few minor issues.
9. What can family members do to help a loved one with an eating disorder?
Helping a loved one can be tricky. Have you ever seen the show Intervention? You never know how people who need help will react. I would always recommend that family members do some research before making any kind of assumptions and/or accusations. Eating disorders are tricky and can be hard for loved ones to understand. There are plenty of resources available online and in books to help family members talk to loved ones about an eating disorder, if they choose to do so.
Keep in mind that every person is different and may require a different approach. I, personally, needed tough love. But someone else may not. I would also recommend enlisting the help of a therapist who specializes in eating disorders to help the family understand the disease and find ways to not only help their loved one, but find ways of coping for themselves.
10. Any specific resources that helped you through your recovery (websites, books)?
www.something-fishy.org is a great website for those who have eating disorders and need support, as well as family members and loved ones of those with eating disorders. I used this site regularly for information and support throughout my recovery. The site also has a treatment finder, resource listings and a wealth of other information about eating disorders.
I also read a lot. Here are some of my picks: A Very Hungry Girl, by Jessica Weiner, Wasted, by Marya Hornbacher (I recommend this more for family members and not as much for people with eating disorders, as parts of it can be very triggering) {MT: So glad Becky mentioned this. I agree that while Wasted is a powerful, revealing read, it can be incredibly triggering}. I also read The Road Less Traveled, by Scott Peck, which really inspired me to give therapy a shot.
11. Anything else you'd like readers to know about eating disorders?
That they can affect anyone, anywhere. Eating disorders don't discriminate based on age, race, national origin, gender, or any other demographic data. They occur everywhere, and in some places, at startling high rates. This is not national issue anymore, it is a global issue.
Recovery is hard and can take a long time. But you are worth it. I learned more about myself from having an eating disorder and recovering from it than I did in all my years of formal education combined.
Thank you Becky, so much, for sharing your story! I also want to thank every woman who's shared her story with us. It takes courage. I know it isn't easy to talk about one's struggles or to go back to that dark place while answering these questions. All of your stories mean so much to me and to readers of Weightless.
I hope everyone has a great Friday and a fun weekend!

Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon weighed in on Louisiana's comparatively high auto insurance rates on Monday (Feb. 17), noting a recent landmark suit filed by the East Bank levee board against oil and gas companies will help further a wider push to revisit tort reform during this year's legislative session.
Numerous rankings have shown drivers in Louisiana, especially New Orleans and Baton Rouge, pay some of the highest auto insurance rates in the country. Speaking at the Press Club of Baton Rouge, Donelon echoed the findings of recent reports that showed this is due in large part to a higher likelihood for Louisiana drivers to sue following an accident, a trend the commissioner tied to the actions of poorer populations in the state's two largest cities.
"It's claims to litigation. And it's a poorer population. And those folks are easily motivated when approached by a tow truck driver or a lawyer or a physical therapist or a chiropractor to take full advantage of the opportunity of minor collision" claims, said Donelon.
Donelon called those who target poorer populations to encourage claims filing "ambulance chasers" and a "soft tissue industry...who are chasing minor accidents and converting them into $15,000 windfalls." He placed the epicenter of this industry in New Orleans.
To slow down this trend, Donelon echoed recent recommendations made by the Louisiana Property and Casualty Insurance Commission to lower the state's jury trial threshold and bar "pain and suffering" for uninsured drivers.While Donelon said he didn't have any hard evidence lowering the threshold would help lower insurance rates, he was confident in the "anecdotal analysis and link" between the two and said simply taking a look at the threshold in peer states would show Louisiana is "out of whack."
Louisiana's jury trial threshold, currently at $50,000, is the highest in the nation. This means only plaintiffs with civil claims of at least $50,000 can request their case be heard by a jury.
Donelon acknowledged some sort of tort reform legislation -- including lowering the jury threshold -- has been introduced in the state Legislature nearly every year without success. But he thinks two factors will place a higher emphasis on the issue this year, and will ensure significant movement on tort reform bills for the first time since he was in the Legislature in the late 1990s.
One factor is a greater awareness, and refusal to accept, high auto insurance rates among angry constituents. The second is a greater focus on tort reform in the wake of the massive lawsuit filed by the South Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East's lawsuit against 97 oil, gas and pipeline companies.
Donelon said lawmakers aren't the only parties focusing on tort reform. He's met with representatives from powerful lobbying groups like the the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry as well as representatives from the office of Gov. Bobby Jindal.
On Monday, Donelon also recapped recent Congressional action on the federal flood insurance program and the Obama administration's decisions to delay some of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act.

Agra school girls pick up the broom to clean cityOctober 1st, 2008 - 4:21 pm ICT by IANS
Agra, Oct 1 (IANS) Over 500 school girls used brooms to clean up a road as part of a cleanliness campaign in this Uttar Pradesh city, which is home to the Taj.The girl students from St Anthony's College, who were armed with broomsticks, Tuesday cleaned up a part of the Mall road used by tourists to go to the Taj Mahal. The clean up was part of "My Clean Agra" campaign.
In other Clean Agra campaign activities, students from St Andrew's College took out a procession in Balkeshwar area to stress the need for proper disposal of garbage. They also persuaded people to stop littering and recycle plastic.
John Farreira, principal of St Peter's College, led hundreds of students to clean up the main MG Road from Soor Sadan auditorium to Hari Parbat crossing.
John said he would convene a meeting of all shopkeepers and flat owners to work out a permanent arrangement for regular cleaning.
Students from Gayatri Public School took the lead to clean up the Shahid Smarak and the park around it.
Prelude School students cleaned up the Dayalbagh area with support from the teachers and management committee members.
The main focus was on cleaning of the road to Taj Mahal from Shilpgram.
Shyam Singh Yadav, Municipal Commissioner, led the volunteers in picking up the litter. Yadav announced that the corporation would hold ward-wise cleanliness drives with support from the local community.
Remco Van Santen, the chief promoter of the campaign, said through these programmes "we want to drive home the message that cleanliness was everybody's business. People should act on their own and through community efforts clean up their areas. Mahatma Gandhi should be the inspiration."
Australian national Remco — a former chemist who has now dedicated himself to social causes — exhorted students to make Agra the city beautiful within a year. "It's your city, you have a stake, if you don't act now it will be too late," he said.
Programme organisers told IANS that in a series of interactions with the students, the passion as well as the concern for cleanliness was clearly visible and this "was clear from the enthusiastic response the campaign received from the students".

The site launched by the London-based company in October, was considered so innovative by European standards it won British Telecom's Electronic Commerce award the month of its debut.
Passing up roadblocks
But on a continent wracked with roadblocks to Web development, Thomas Miller's achievement is the exception rather than the rule.
"Right now, all our competitors have marketing-only sites," says Mark Holford, the insurer's information strategist. "We're really ahead of the game."
So it goes on the European cyber front, where political, econ-omic and cultural fragmentation -- not to mention long-entrenched corporate monopolies -- play key roles in hampering online commerce.
Multinational companies trying to develop a pan-European presence face a laundry list of challenges: Differences in language, currency, distribution channels, security and Internet usage, to name a few.
"Corporate Europe is a good 12 to 18 months behind the U.S.," says Steve Smith, president of iXL London, a branch of the Atlanta-based Web developer iXL Group.
European companies months behind
Indeed, at a time when U.S. multinationals are spending lavishly to erect second-generation business-to-business Web empires, most European companies are just scraping together budgets to set up online brochures. In rare cases like Thomas Miller, they're making the leap to database publishing or online ordering.
But this is changing. Free-market forces in the European Union, most notably telecommunications deregulation, are set to ignite online commerce in the next 12 months.
"1998 will be a big year, with telecom competition the major growth catalyst," predicts Rob Agee, author of the new Cowles/Simba Information report "International Online Markets: Strategic Outlook & Forecast."
The report pegs Europe's Internet/online subscriber population at 14 million in 1996. That number is expected to top 35 million by 2001, a 26% compound annual increase as competition and European unification take hold.
Moreover, the b-to-b market is perking up: Businesses spent almost $7 billion to buy information online in 1997, with "the U.K. leading Germany by a three-to-one margin," says Mr. Agee.
Corporate marketers in the most active European Web nations -- Germany, France and the U.K. -- have been laying the foundation for b-to-b commerce as far back as last April, according to a Gallup survey of 603 board-level executives.
70% using the Web
Almost 70% of those polled said they were already using the Web to communicate with their customers online. An equal number said their Web ventures were worth the investment, and more than half said they expected to allocate more funds for Internet development in the subsequent 12 months.
Germany leads the pack, with highest percentage of Net-connected companies -- 74% -- followed by 70% in the U.K. and 55% in France.
Suppliers are already jockeying for position in this largely untapped market. New-media consultants Jupiter Communications, New York, and Forrester Research, Cambridge, Mass., plan to open major offices on the continent early this year.
Meanwhile, Web developers are banding together with their global counterparts to build their European networks. And U.S. technology providers such as IBM Corp. and Cisco Systems are fielding an increasing number of requests from corporate marketers.
"After working at this for two years, just now I'm seeing a lot of companies planning for electronic commerce in 1998," says Arjen Soetekouw, a sales executive for IBM's E-Business Solutions unit in the Netherlands.
Most of the action originates with U.S. companies such as Dell Computer Corp., Netscape Communications Corp., IBM and others, which are expanding their Web businesses into Europe.
"They already have their online acts together," says Suzan Nolan, president of Bluesky International, a Paris-based Web developer.
Paving the way
But a handful of local companies are paving the way for those to come. In addition to Thomas Miller, the examples repeatedly cited by local analysts and Web developers include the Dutch Rabobank, which some claim rivals Wells Fargo's; Spain's Santander Open Bank; and Siemens Nixdorf's Trusted Web, which promotes the company's intranet security.
A vast number of European companies are eyeing 1998 as the year of e-commerce. But compared with U.S. companies, marketers are still cautious about their outlays. The average corporate Web budget currently ranges from $25,000 to $75,000, according to Web developers.
Thomas Miller, for example, spent about $50,000 to develop its site, which uses an IBM AS/400 database and a Lotus Domino server.
Still, European financial services companies, car manufacturers and others on the leading edge have been known to shell out anywhere from $250,000 to $1 million, or more.
The average company, however, is not only hampered by lower budgets but higher development costs.
Says Bluesky's Ms. Nolan, plain HTML programming runs $70 to $100 per hour, CGI programming ranges from $125 to $300 per hour and Web design can top $1,000 per day.
Not surprisingly, most of these dollars are going to the basics -- strategy and technology.
"The money gets eaten up pretty fast," says Ms. Nolan. "That's why I build all big projects in the U.S."

Released this April, "Lost, Beat & Bop" was my first solo release, and one I feel strongly about. Inspired in the works of Jack Kerouac and the Beat Generation, it reflects a preeminent side of my personality, one that is now and forever on the road. I hope you enjoy listening to it and I'd love your feedback: please use the comment field below to speak your mind.
Press Release
Consider for a moment a band of sweaty musicians playing "C Jam Blues" in a San Francisco basement, watched closely by a handful of Zen lunatics whose one and noble function is to cross the country from coast to coast and then back again, with faith in nothing but closeness, intoxicated enlightenment and the infinite bliss of the road.
"Lost, Beat & Bop" is Fulano47′s payback to Jack Kerouac and his generation of Dharma Bums, politely combining electronic sounds with spoken word, and bringing live instruments into play in a reckless attempt to revive forgotten rituals and the casual grace of the dead Beats.
Each track is driven by its own narrative, chords and beats eminently determined by words and meaning — Slim knows time, he knows time! — Adopting Deep and Tech House as medium of choice, "Lost, Beat & Bop" is essentially about the message — Move! — and about the uncontainable feeling of existing simultaneously in two different times.
Smooth talk aside, as Kerouac himself once said, the only truth is music, and tangible proof of this are the exquisite remixes that complete the EP, singularly crafted by Miguel Torga, Ramboiage and Bangkok Snobiety. With this first solo release, Fulano47 is set towards the crossroad where rupture and togetherness meet, with nothing behind him and everything ahead of him, as is ever so on the road.

Episode 2: Last Chance
Heart Disease in Nicaraguan Children
For many, the difference between life and death depends on the country they were born in. Like 14-year-old Holman and 8-year-old Eva, who were both born with heart disease in Nicaragua. In their country, even if children survive the surgery, they run a high risk of dying from infection in the hospital afterward. With no money to explore foreign options, the families must undergo a test of faith that nearly shatters their deep strength of spirit.

U.S. prepares for Hurricane Dennis
BY GEORGE PIPER | RALEIGH, N.C. | August 27, 1999
RALEIGH, N.C. (Aug. 27, 1999) -- Recent years' hurricanes are
prompting preparedness for Hurricane Dennis along the North Carolina
Emergency management officials report seeing more public preparation
than in years past. After sustaining hits from Bonnie last year and
Fran in 1996, North Carolina residents take storm precautions much
more seriously, said Tom Ditt, public information officer for North
Carolina Emergency Management.
"Your actions are based on past experience," he said. "If you have
had a hurricane in the recent past, then they still remember it."
The latest threat is Hurricane Dennis, whose movements prompted a
hurricane watch on Friday for central Florida. The storm is expected
to hit the northern Bahamas on Saturday morning and the forecast path
puts it on target to hit North or South Carolina on Sunday, with
possible impacts to Florida and Georgia before that. Dennis' route
could affect the eastern United States from North Carolina to central
Florida before it's over.
Charlie Moeller, a Church World Service (CWS) disaster resource
facilitator, has been alerting his contacts. The challenge from a
planning standpoint is that Dennis has several options, he added.
Mainland storm fronts could pull Dennis closer or push it out to sea,
depending upon when it moves toward the United States. Its speed and
the amount of time it spends over warm Atlantic waters also will
affect its strength and destination. And on Friday night, forecasters
were suggesting the storm could stall just off the Carolina coast,
battering the coast with high winds and rain for a day or more.
Interfaith groups are on standby as Dennis approaches the East Coast.
Interfaith Disaster Response of North Carolina (IDRNC) is firing up
its mobile field office and telling its consultants to be ready for a
big storm, said Dennis Levin, coordinator for the organization. The
mobile unit contains a printer, scanner, fax, short wave and citizen
band radios and cellular phones and can turn a local church into a
communications center if needed.
IDRNC enjoys a good working relationship with other disaster relief
and emergency response agencies. It currently is working with the
Federal Emergency Management Agency to prioritize Small Business
Administration applications and assist people who struggle with the
Working off a CWS model to set up or reinforce local interfaith
groups, IDRNC plans to involve local churches as rest stations for
evacuating motorists. Different from an overnight shelter, the rest
stations would allow people to stop and nap or get some coffee during
the long drive.
The goal isn't to delay motorists from leaving the hurricane area,
but to keep them fresh while on the road, Levin said. Trips from the
outer banks to the mainland can take up to four hours during an
evacuation, he said, and it can be another hour from Manteo to a
place to stop for gas.
In addition to helping Florida residents, Florida Interfaiths
Networking in Disasters (FIND) hopes to be available for other
states, said Jody Hill, FIND coordinator. "Now that we have
interfaiths in these other states, it make it more feasible to do
these kinds of things," she said.
Primarily a disaster recovery organization designed to focus on unmet
needs, FIND has contacted emergency management, insurance, church and
other organizations to prepare for this hurricane season.
Other states are monitoring Dennis and making preparations for a
possible visit. In South Carolina, the National Guard and state
troopers are on alert for deployment if Dennis comes ashore there.
The state's Emergency Preparedness Division also is contacting
disaster relief and emergency response agencies to coordinate relief
Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) officials are briefing
coastal emergency management offices and getting the word out to
residents to organize preparedness kits, said Pamela Swanson, GEMA
public affairs director. The agency's Web site contains evacuation
routes and information on shelters, including which ones will accept
North Carolina officials tried to reach as many of the state's
150,000 coastal residents as possible with newspaper inserts and
brochures. Emergency management personnel conducted public
presentations with various groups, including a recent visit with a
Raleigh apartment rental group that houses some 37,000 people on 85
"We're reaching constituencies that we've probably never reached
before as a result of Bonnie in 1998 and Fran in 1996," Ditt said.
Officials also are warning people about the floods that accompany
hurricanes, noting that the majority of hurricane deaths result from
Local media also have helped spread the message. When Hurricane Bret
hit Texas this week, television stations and newspapers gave the
storm good coverage and tied it into preparations for North Carolina.
In a unique twist, North Carolina is tying the hurricane season to
the Y2K computer crisis, said Ditt. The reasoning is that if people
can be self-sustainable for three to five days if a hurricane
strikes, their disaster preparedness will help them in a similar Y2K

Go to Vocal & Dance Class Descriptions
See All Group Music Class Schedules
Riveting 5-Step Class Path Keeps Your Child Engaged and Excited!
STEP 1: Family Classes (Ages 6-36 months)
STEP 2: Early Music Awareness I (Ages 3-6)
STEP 3: Early Music Awareness II (Ages 5.5-7)
STEP 4: Instrument Prep (Ages 6-8)
STEP 5: Private Lessons
Wherever your child is along the path, we can help you navigate this life-changing, music-learning journey!
FAMILY CLASS (Pre-EMA:Ages 6-36 months)
If your child is between 6 to 36 months you'll want to join one of our toddler-parent participation classes. These classes are a wonderful opportunity for a special time of bonding with your child in a warm, encouraging environment.
In addition to singing, movement and rhythm games, classes include symphonic and ethnic instrument exploration in which parents and children have the opportunity to handle and play real instruments and learn about notes in a fun 30-minute format. Family classes are limited to six families. (Siblings enrolled in other classes attend at no charge.)
Family Class Jr. is limited to the youngest students (birth through 2.5 yrs) & their caregivers. This class focuses on similar developmentally appropriate activities as the wider age range of the regular Family Class, but at a gentler pace... as children are learning to respond to what is often their very first class.
See list of Current Family classes
EARLY MUSIC AWARENESSTM: E.M.A., our trademark class! (Level I: Ages 3-5 & 4-6)
Your young child (3 to 7 years) will gain a sense of independence by being a part of a small group of children (no more than 8 to a class) where she will be able to receive personal attention and have her individuality acknowledged and honored. In addition children are prepared for future instrumental instruction by learning to read music and try potential instruments in an active, fun and exciting environment. Learn more about EMA TM
as young as three years old, your child will be proud of her ability to
identify notes and their values. And she will be excited to share with you
the handouts
she'll receive with every lesson.
View Current EMA Schedules and Request a FREE Trial Class
In addition they explore instruments like violin, guitar, trumpet and drums that they might choose to play someday. Carried over from EMA I, plenty of rhythm games, movement and singing activities keep the class moving in this older-child version of Early Music Awareness.
PREP (Ages 6-8)
Students 6-8 years may join a 15-week session that is divided into two sections: The first 7-8 weeks they will enjoy a broad range of music instruction similar to Early Music Awareness but with a focus on note-reading and experiencing the 6-10 instruments that are size appropriate for them:
- Piano/Keyboard
- Drums/Glockenspiel (like a keyboard played with mallets)
- Violin/Cello
- Flute/Recorder
- Guitar/Ukulele
The final 6-7 weeks, students apply their growing note-reading skills with using individual keyboards provided. In this section, students will receive an overview of the geography, technique and others skills needed to play simple songs on the piano or keyboard (see below) a great preparation for playing any other instrument.
Upon completion of this class, most students will be ready to move forward to learn the instrument they have chosen in a private lesson setting.
PRIVATE LESSONS (Whenever they are ready)
After moving through this fun, custom-designed learning path in which kids explore, enjoy, survey, choose and get passionate about his or her perfect instrument, private lessons are the best next step. This one-on-one experience ensures the best success because each child learns differently and the lesson can be customized to his or her own learning.
Private lessons are available on almost every instrument and are best enjoyed when students function developmentally like a child 6 years or older (regardless of their actual age). If your child is under 7, an assessment will be a big help before moving forward. In a special time with you and your child, an Educational Specialist trained to help determine your child's developmental age (and readiness) in three areas: Academic, Social & Physical.
SPECIAL PACKAGES: Beginning with weekly 30-minute, one-on-one lessons, students are also eligible for special packages that add group vocal, dance or instrumental classes for as little as $45.00 per month to maintain the enjoyment and synergy of learning with others.
