"Making" Tobacco
( Originally Published 1938 )
The culture of the remarkable plant which sustains one of the greatest industries in the world begins with a seed so tiny that a table-spoonful is enough to plant six and a half acres —an area larger than the average tobacco planter's plot! In the size and shape of the seed can be seen in a glance tobacco's kinship to a number of well-known flowers and vegetables with entirely different properties and uses. The petunia, Irish potato, garden pepper, tomato, and eggplant, all are cousins of this typically American plant.
Let's see how a typical "Old Belt" farmer in Virginia or North Carolina makes his crop. Be-fore the first of April, he is ready to begin the first of a long series of processes which make tobacco such an absorbing problem.
First comes the seed bed. The farmer clears with axe and hoe a space in his second or third growth woodland about as large as the floor of a barn. Here he builds a fire which he spreads carefully over the little area. The burning kills weed seeds and insect eggs and helps fertilize the loamy bed. He rakes and sweeps now until the bed is as smooth as a table.
Thereafter he mixes soil in with his seed so he can scatter them, and carefully sows his little woodland patch. But this is not all. It is too early in the spring for the seedlings to thrive unprotected, so he covers the bed with a great sheet of cheesecloth and pegs it down tightly. Flyers passing over the tobacco country in March and April see thousands of white squares in the woods be-low. Some farmers have several of these beds lest accident or plant pests destroy all their tender stock of tobacco.
Meanwhile, he has prepared and fertilized his land for the reception of the crop. By the time danger of frost is past, most of the plants are several inches high and ready for transplanting. Carefully he removes the seedlings, a basketful at a time, and takes them to the field.
Here, along the widely spaced rows that he has measured, he "sets" his plants. With a sharpened stick, he punches a little hole in the ground just large enough to receive the roots, and with a single rhythmic movement, he seals the earth and steps on to the next position. An ordinary urban gardener marvels at the speed with which he does it, wonders how any of the plants survive such hurried treatment. Rarely, however, are the seedlings wasted. For a few hours, they lie wilted and discouraged, then up come their heads and they begin to grow again.
And how they grow!
By midsummer they are great lush stalks. Cultivated somewhat like corn and cotton, they develop with astonishing rapidity, yielding dividends for every ounce of fertilizer, every hour of care, standing up against the hottest weather. In August, the plants are kept free of grass only by hand-labor with a hoe. There is no room for a mule. There is barely room to walk between the three-foot rows.
At this stage, the tobacco must be "topped" so that each plant will produce leaves of the proper body. This treatment prevents the plants from going to seed—concentrates the energy in the leaves.
Topping must be done with care because to cut a plant too low means tobacco of poor quality. A heavy, fibrous leaf is as bad as a poorly nourished one. In August, the farmers also pull the "suckers"—large sprouts sent out by Mother Nature in an effort to repair the surgery of "topping."
With the stalks waist-high, the most anxious moments of the season are approaching. Fear-fully the farmer watches the summer sky lest a hail storm flatten his crop. He reads his almanac, wondering if by the law of averages he will suffer a wet summer. Long rainy spells in August will harm the quality of his leaf more than a drought. Even light showers sometimes damage the plant. Droplets of water form tiny lenses through which the sun burns spots upon the precious leaves.
Yet as the tobacco begins to ripen, a Virginia field offers a soul-satisfying sight. No other crop seems to draw so much rich, graceful beauty from the soil. Every leaf in the sturdy plants seems like a page from the book of health. Most crops fade somewhat from the sun of late summer, or are cut up by many insects, but tobacco, watched so carefully, tended so constantly, stands almost unscathed, firm and lovely in the heat. Here and there are carefully selected plants which, untopped, are six feet tall and in flower. These are to supply the seed for next year's crop.
Standing in his tobacco field, the farmer is a very happy man, yet his suspense is not over. The all important work of curing the leaf still lies ahead of him.

Despite the looming threat of economic recession, Hyderabad
continues to exhibit all the signs of a growing city,
according to a recent report by the Town and Country
Planning Organisation (TCPO). It is the only city
in India that has been registering a steady growth in
land prices, in sharp contrast to the countrywide trend
of falling real estate prices, over the past seven years.
The TCPO is affiliated to the Union Urban Development
The study entitled, 'Urban Residential Land Price
Scenario - Hyderabad,' says that while almost all
the metropolitan cities in the country witnessed an
artificial boom in land prices touching abnormal heights
in 1996, it is only in Hyderabad that the trend has
continued. In all the other metros, land prices started
levelling out in the post 1996 period. The study covering
74 localities of the city, 18 in east zone, six in north
zone, 11 in south zone,15 in central zone and 24 in
west zone was done to know the urban residential land
prices in different areas between 1994 and 1999. It
shows that the average value of the land in the city
went up from Rs 2,047 per sq yd in 1994 to Rs 3,537
per sq yd in 1999. An increase of 72.8 percent. As compared
to 1994, the increase in price has been moderate during
1997, 1998 and 1999 whereas such an increase has been
sharp during 1995 and 1996.
on the price behaviour in 74 localities of Hyderabad
during 1994-1999, it is apparent that the prices tend
to move towards stability. For instance, the price per
sq yd was Rs 700-1500 in the LB Nagar area in 1994.
This has gone up to Rs 1200-2400 in 1999, showing more
than 80 percent increase in the property value. The
areas that had better facilities coupled with potential
for increase in the margin of profit registered an increase
in the land prices, which went parallel to the speculative
trend. For example, the central zone of Hyderabad followed
by west zone command higher prices. North zone of the
city is placed in the lowest price category. But, there
has been an identical increase in the percentage of
change in land prices across all zones, the report notes.
by the trend, the state government in its 'Vision
2020' document estimated that by the year 2020,
the city would grow to more than three times its current
size. As per the TCPO study, in 1999, in almost a third
of the city, the market rate is higher than the rate
fixed by the government. "Such a situation may
occur given investment sentiments, public perception
and future potential. These are the major contributory
factors which go into the determination of price levels,"
the study says.
The situation is similar with respect to the demand
for land in rent. The study of rental position in 1990
and 1999 in the 30 selected localities of the city,
both commercial and residential, reveals that the demand
for commercial space has been mind boggling. This reflects
the spread of economic activities in the twin cites
at an unprecedented speed, says the report.

Jews to celebrate new year at sundown Monday 29September 29th, 2008 - 7:59 pm ICT by Bupha Ravirot
For the majority new year starts in January, but for the 15.8 million Jewish people around the world, are celebrating their new year at sundown Monday 29.
Jewish new year is observed on the first day of Tishrei, the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar. There are 10 main things about Jewish on their new year.
- "It's a new year but instead of revelry and celebration, it means a turning inward,"
- Blow shofar, a ram's horn instrument, the sound of it awakens a desire to live a simpler, more pure life.
- It is a time for reflecting, Jews take time to think about their lives over the past year.
- It is a time to forgive others.
- Taking action by asking directly from people for forgiveness whether you have ever done wrong.
- Food that symbolizes a desire for sweetness for the new year. Some popular foods are apples, honey, yeast-leavened egg bread, dates, pomegranates, carrots, black-eyed peas, cabbage, beets and fish.
- Fasting on Yom Kippur begins at sunset on the evening before Yom Kippur and ends at sunset on Yom Kippur.
- Day of Atonement, seeking forgiveness and trying to live a better life. During Yom Kippur, Jews fast and often wear white clothes to symbolize a desire for purity with God.
- Breaking fast, end of Yom Kippur, Jews often break fast with a meal at sundown at friends' homes. It's a time of togetherness for those who have gone through a period of forgiveness and reconciliation.
- Transformation; The process of the Jewish High Holy Days is transforming, many Jews feel. And it brings hope.

Last Saturday I had the privilege of photographing the Blue family! They are such a fun, sweet family and for a few months I've wanted (secretly ;) to take pictures of them. Mr. and Mrs. Blue's love for each other is so sweet and inspiring, and the children are so happy! Conclusion: they're a gorgeous and just-plain-wonderful family! :)
See what I mean?
(Miss Trinity (middle) wasn't too excited about pictures at first, but I've got some happy pictures coming up! :)
Kendall is the oldest child of the family. She was very willing to go wherever I wanted her to go for pictures and has a beautiful smile!
Lovin' on Daddy…
Micah is the oldest boy and a little shy but very sweet too!
I think the below photo is one of the sweetest Father-Son pictures ever! I just love how Micah has his hands around his Daddy's neck…you can just feel the love and trust emanating!
Trinity (the second girl) wasn't excited about standing for pictures…at first. She warmed up as soon as she could go play, but I thought that even her "not so happy" faces were adorable!
Kendall came over as we were attempting to get Trinity to smile, and helped us out a little bit! I thought this series of photos were too cute not to post! :)
…and then not so happy…
Once we were finished with "posed" pictures Trinity really warmed up and started smiling like crazy. I have to admit, I think the 0-4 age range is one of my favorite ages to capture!!
I love the way Trinity walks. She looks like a little princess: hands held behind her back, walking slow and careful…it's absolutely adorable!
Now I'll introduce you to Miss Lily, the youngest member of the family, and such a cutie-pie!
Getting some love from Mama…so sweet!!
Isn't she precious??!!
At the beginning of the photo session, Mr. Blue said to Mrs. Blue, "Want me to pick you up like I did on our wedding day?" Mrs. Blue was a little hesitant, so we didn't take the pictures then, but at the end of the session Mr. Blue offered again and Mrs. Blue agreed! I was so happy!!
Aren't they so sweet?!!! I could go on and on about them!
Love, love!!
One last picture of this beautiful family, before I end:
Mr. and Mrs. Blue, the way you love on your children is so real and so beautiful. Mrs. Blue, the way you respect and love your husband is just plain amazing. Mr. Blue, the way you shepherd your family is a joy to watch. You all are such a blessing to me and my family!
Love in Christ,
Mr. and Mrs. Blue, the way you love on your children is so real and so beautiful. Mrs. Blue, the way you respect and love your husband is just plain amazing. Mr. Blue, the way you shepherd your family is a joy to watch. You all are such a blessing to me and my family!
Thank you so much, Blue family, for letting me capture you guys!!
Love in Christ,
Kimber :)

For those taxpayers who filed for an extension of the deadline to file their federal income tax returns last spring, Friday is the day of reckoning.
The IRS expects to receive as many as 10 million returns this month from filers who sought extensions before April 15.
Friday is also a critical date for small nonprofit organizations that have not filed their required returns for the last three years. If they don't file by Friday, they risk losing tax-exempt status.
The IRS is encouraging taxpayers to file their returns electronically.

How do I use Amazon Elastic Filesystem (EFS) with Artifactory HA
Artifactory High Availability (HA) in AWS may use S3 for scalable storage or Amazon's Elastic File System (EFS) may be implemented for an NFS filestore. Designing for EFS implementation must take into account certain aspects of how EFS works.
This document explains how to use EFS's baseline performance and burst credit model towards achieving optimal performance using EFS with Artifactory HA. For more information about Amazon EFS, see What is Amazon Elastic File System?
Amazon EFS Performance Overview – Baseline and Burst Throughput
Throughput on Amazon EFS scales as a file system grows. A file system can drive throughput continuously at its baseline rate. Additionally, Amazon EFS is designed to burst to high throughput levels for periods of time.
For full documentation on EFS performance, see Throughput Scaling in Amazon EFS.
Amazon EFS uses a credit system to determine when file systems can burst. Each file system earns credits over time at a baseline rate that is determined by the size of the file system, and uses credits whenever it reads or writes data. Whenever a file system is inactive or driving throughput below its baseline rate, the file system accumulates burst credits.
If your file system has no burst credits available, the I/O throughput is the baseline rate, until burst credits replenish. The baseline rate may severely impact Artifactory performance. Therefore, it is best practice to avoid needing burst credits at all, or very rarely, and instead be able to provide the entire needed throughput with the baseline throughput allocation. You can monitor the balance by using Amazon CloudWatch metric for Amazon EFS.
How to avoid exceeding the burst credit balance?
For the best results, you must consider what your workload is and the capacity required to meet that performance. Take it this way: With more capacity, the higher your baseline and burst throughput.
Many JFrog Artifactory servers scale to the TiB range in storage, which is often ample performance for the use case. For smaller filestores however, the baseline throughput is quite low: 1 GiB of data is 50 KiB/s and scales linearly, per GiB, above that. If your workload requires more throughput than what is provided by the baseline and burst model for your capacity described above, there are two options:
Adding capacity to the file system
You can add capacity to the file system to reach the base level of performance that you need. Adding capacity is fairly simple. Either upload a number of large artifacts to Artifactory, or add additional files of sufficient size in a directory on the EFS volume outside the filestore directory to boost your storage usage to the desired amount (if need be, with random files of arbitrary length). As your system scales up with increased storage use over time, you can bring these back down later. Note that some customers have had success with combining large storage/low transfer loads into the same EFS volume as the artifactory filestore. .
Using local EBS caches
You can use local EBS caches on Artifactory node instances. This option reduces workload on the EFS filestore, and the use of the burst credit balance. Configure Artifactory to use a cache in EBS on each node. This local cache stores artifacts on each individual node and serve them directly to the client instead of pulling them from EFS. Each node may have duplicate cache entries (since any node can serve any request) but this greatly reduces the access to EFS. It's important to consider that this same mechanism can also be used to enhance performance if S3 is being used as the binary store. This method may allow you to utilize the bursting capability more often, but should still only be used when the baseline throughput is at a reasonable value. In particular, bear in mind that when a cache is implemented, it must FIRST be streamed into the cache at the EFS speed, and then sent out, so if the EFS is running very slow due to exhaustion of burst credit balance, this may result in client timeouts.
For example, if a file was downloaded 1000 times without a local cache, EFS would have the download activity of 1000 * filesize. But, with local cache enabled, it may end up being just 2 * filesize. The EBS cache is recommended to be persisted (non-ephemeral), if you do not want to have to refill it when a new instance is created. For more information about configuring a cachefs, see the notes on configuring the filestore in the binarystore.xml file.
Symptoms of inadequate throughput/exceeding the burst credit balance
Symptoms of inadequate storage design include ping delays (api/system/ping) and very slow download/upload process. The delays may show up as timeout errors or broken connections caused by client timeout disconnects in your Artifactory log.
Artifactory versions prior to 5.0 Implemented on S3 Storage
If you implemented Artifactory HA versions prior to 5.0 with S3 storage, you needed a cluster-wide write cache (called the eventual cache) to be implemented on a shared NFS mount. JFrog does not recommend EFS for this cache as it is typically low storage and high usage, which tends to exceed your burst credit balance quickly. For Artifactory versions 5.0 and higher, the cache for an S3 implementation should be EBS local disk caches.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the difference between being Prime Minister of Israel and President of the United States is that the Israeli Prime Minister has to be more concerned with Israel's security than the president does the US' on Thursday's "Kelly File" on the Fox News Channel.
"I was once asked 'what's the difference between the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Israel?' And I said, Megyn, that the President of the United States, I believe is always concerned about the security of the United States. But the Prime Minister of Israel, and I can speak personally, of the nine years that I've been in office, there's not been a day, a day that I haven't thought about the things I have to do to protect the survival of Israel, and that's a difference. We're the country that is most threatened with destruction around the world, and it's my responsibility to ensure that this state, the one and only Jewish state lives forever. And that's a big burden, but that's why I'm here. That's why I was elected" he stated.

Talking even more tax – especially for freelancers

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration is considering changing a U.S. policy prohibiting families of hostages held overseas from making ransom payments to abductors, according to a television report on Sunday.
"Under recommendations contained in an ongoing White House review of U.S. hostage policy, there will be absolutely zero chance ... of any family member of an American-held hostage overseas ever facing jail themselves, or even the threat of prosecution, for trying to free their loved ones," according to the report aired on ABC's "This Week."
The report said three senior U.S. officials told of the policy review, but it did not indicate when a decision might be made.
A White House official contacted by Reuters would not comment on the ABC report.
Last year, U.S. military forces unsuccessfully tried to rescue American journalist James Foley and other hostages thought to be in eastern Syria only to find that they had been moved. Foley was later executed by his Islamic State captors.
The ABC report said the policy change was under consideration after Foley's parents claimed a White House official threatened them with prosecution if they tried to deliver a ransom payment.

WILKES-BARRE TWP. — Selections for the AHL
All-Star Classic are nothing new to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins goaltenders. The team had one chosen for the event in each of the last three seasons.
On Thursday, the league announced that streak would continue this year.
Netminder Casey DeSmith and forward Daniel Sprong were named to the Atlantic Division's roster for the event on Jan. 28-29 in Utica. It is the first selection for each player.
DeSmith, 26, has a 10-5-2-1 record this season and a goals-against average of 2.72. He'll be joined in the Atlantic Division crease by Jordan Binnington of the Providence Bruins.
"It feels great," DeSmith said Thursday at Mohegan Sun Arena. "Obviously, it's a huge honor. A little bit unexpected there considering I've been up (with Pittsburgh) and down lately and haven't gotten to play as many games as I would like to.
"It speaks to the goaltending strength that the organization always has. That goes all the way up to the top, signing good goalies and good goaltender coaching."
Penguins goaltenders Jeff Zatkoff, Matt Murray and Tristan Jarry got the nod from 2015-17
Sprong, 20, was second in the league with 18 goals and had 28 points at the time of his recall to the parent club Saturday.
Penguins head coach Clark Donatelli said the selections are well-deserved for both players. He specifically noted the perseverance DeSmith has shown in breaking into the league and showing that he belongs, in addition to the work ethic Sprong has had in his rookie season.
"He probably could have had another three or four (goals) easy, if not five or six," Donatelli said of Sprong.
"Just a great dynamic scorer. We wish him the best. He came down here and worked his tail off. It wasn't always easy; he went through some hard times."
Among the other notable division representatives are Hershey forward Chris Bourque and Lehigh Valley's dynamic duo of forward Danick Martel and defenseman T.J. Brennan. Bourque and Brennan have been chosen for the event six and five times, respectively. Providence's Jay Leach, who coached the Penguins in 2015-16, will lead them behind the bench.
It should be noted the roster could change over the next three weeks. Last season, Jarry and Jake Guentzel were chosen to represent Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, but Guentzel did not participate after being called up to the NHL. Defenseman David Warsofsky went to Allentown, instead.
For now, though, DeSmith is excited to potentially showcase his talents in the main event — a 3-on-3 round-robin tournament — and some of the skills competitions the evening prior.
"I think it's fun," DeSmith said. "I think those are kind of a win-win for a goalie. You're not expected to make saves but, if you do, you can make some pretty sweet saves.
"I think the key will be just go out there and have fun."
In the meantime
The Penguins appear to have some clarity regarding their goaltending situation ahead of tonight's game against Springfield.
DeSmith was held out of practice Thursday because the team was still awaiting word from Pittsburgh on Jarry's condition. The goaltender left Tuesday's game against Philadelphia with an injury, but he skated Thursday morning and suited up for Pittsburgh's game against Carolina.
Assuming the 22-year-old Jarry's status remains the same today, DeSmith will stay with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and tandem with Anthony Peters this weekend. However, Donatelli said the team is still prepared for anything otherwise.
Peters was the victor on Wednesday and was backed up by Sebastien Caron, who came out of retirement to sign a tryout deal for the game against Bridgeport.
Other notes
• Forward Gage Quinney is day-to-day and doubtful to return this weekend. Forward Tom Sestito, defenseman Lukas Bengtsson and goaltender Michael Leighton are all week-to-week with injuries and have been ruled out for both games.
• Forward Cody Wydo, currently with the Penguins, was named to the ECHL's All-Star Classic on Wednesday.
• A scoring change was made to the Penguins' first goal on Wednesday. It is now credited to Ryan Haggerty, with assists from Zach Aston-Reese and Jean-Sebastien Dea.

Tonight's game
Opponent: Springfield Thunderbirds
When: 7:05 p.m.
Where: Mohegan Sun Arena
Season series: The Penguins won the only previous meeting, 6-3, on Dec. 13.
About the Thunderbirds: Springfield enters tonight last in the Atlantic Division at 14-19-1-1. One of its standout forwards, Maxim Mamin, was recalled by the Florida Panthers on Monday, but the team still features All-Star selection Alexandre Grenier (8G-19A) and Curtis Valk (9G-19A). Goaltender Samuel Montembault allowed five goals against the Penguins earlier this season, but has gone 4-1-1 in his last six appearances.
Saturday's game
Opponent: Belleville Senators
When: 7:05 p.m.
Where: Mohegan Sun Arena
About the Senators: This is the first ever meeting between the Penguins and Belleville, which is 14-18-0-3 through Wednesday. The team is the most penalized in the AHL with 654 minutes spent in the box. The Senators have scored only 92 goals through 35 games, with Gabriel Gagne the only player to reach double digits (12 goals). Goaltender Andrew Hammond was recalled by the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday, but rookie Marcus Hogberg has won his past two starts.

Photo Release -- StoresOnline Finds a Common Denominator of Successful E-commerce Businesses(July 01, 2010)
OREM, Utah, July 1, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- StoresOnline, an e-commerce services company in business since 1996, has found a common trait between all of its most successful e-commerce customers. While there are as many different paths to e-commerce success as there are successful e-commerce websites, there is one thing they all share. Below are three brief cases that help to illustrate this commonality.
A photo accompanying this release is available at http://www.globenewswire.com/newsroom/prs/?pkgid=7694
Mount Healthy Hatcheries (MtHealthy.com) - Steve Moore of Cincinnati, Ohio had been a computer programmer in the corporate world. Things were going great for him and he'd planned to spend his entire career there. But then he suffered seizures from a brain tumor, and had to endure subsequent surgeries to fight it. His plans for corporate success were shattered.
Steve's wife, Cathy, was part owner of a family-owned brick and mortar business that has operated since 1923. It was a chick hatchery that sold 1-day-old chickens, turkeys, and ducks. Steve and Cathy thought it was time to move it into the 21st century. Friends and family told them it couldn't be done, that no one would ever buy chickens from the Internet.
"I HAD to prove them wrong," said Steve. "I knew it could be done, I just had to find a way around all the obstacles." Steve had built websites before, so he was confident in his ability. What he didn't know was if he could build a full-blown e-commerce website where he could display a full line of chicks and products and enable customers to pay online. He also didn't know how to promote a website sufficiently to bring in enough Web traffic for a sufficient cash flow. That's when he got an invitation from StoresOnline in the mail to a conference where he could learn about the tools, hosting, and training he would need to do all those things. That was in 2006. Within four months the e-commerce site he built through StoresOnline had become a major part of the family business. Steve and Cathy still run the website they built back then, along with a few other websites they've built since, using the same platform.
North American Knives (NorthAmericanKnives.com) - Kirk and Bonnie McCormick of Baker City, Oregon had a side-business selling koi. Koi are those colorful Japanese breeds of carp that people put in aquariums and outdoor fish ponds. They set out to build a website that would allow them to sell their koi on the Internet. StoresOnline, the company they contracted with for hosting and training, provided them with keyword research tools. That's where they made two discoveries that would devastate their plans. First, they discovered that there were a lot of other companies selling koi online. But worse, they discovered that not many people were searching online for koi.
They'd already bought the websites and contracted for the hosting. In order to make their investment pay off they had to find another way.
"We made long lists of things we knew about to try to think of something else we could sell online," said Bonnie. After narrowing the list down to just a few ideas they began researching each one to see if they could find a supplier with a product they could sell competitively. They gave up on several ideas before they found a supplier of knives that would work with them.
Today, Kirk still works full time in law enforcement but Bonnie just runs their knife websites (they run four now) from home.
Buy Activated Charcoal (BuyActivatedCharcoal.com) - John Dinsley of Crawford, Nebraska had always been self-employed in one way or another. He had a background in preventive medicine and had written a book about the medicinal uses of activated charcoal. When he decided to try to sell his book on his own website, he was running a renovation business but was getting tired of it. He had his sons build him a website but it didn't work out like he wanted.
"I'd have to bug them every time I wanted to change something," John said, "and that was a lot." Also, he didn't know how to market his website and wasn't getting much traffic at all. He turned to the Internet to find a platform he could use to build a website of his own, and hopefully figure out how to market it. But John was working on a Mac. The platform he chose wasn't compatible and others he found didn't have the features he wanted.
Next, John got a mailer about a conference that would teach him the things he wanted to know.
"They told me at the conference that this platform was Mac compatible so I bought in," said John. "Once I got it home, I realized it wasn't compatible at all. I had to get my money back."
By this time, both John and his wife, Kimberly, were getting pretty discouraged. They suspected that if they could just get the sales of John's book going, they might also be able to sell the activated charcoal products people can use.
Such was their determination that when they got yet another invitation to an Internet conference in the mail, they pushed aside their discouragement and decided to give it another try. That conference was put on by StoresOnline and it led them to a full-day Training Workshop.
"Before the day was half over, we knew this was it," John remembered. It took many hours and a lot of effort to learn to use the platform but the website he was able to build for himself still runs today, selling his book (Title: CharcoalRemedies.com). He also built another website that sells all the products people use with activated charcoal in them, both medicinal and non-medicinal (it's also widely used for odor control and other uses).
What Do They All Have In Common?
What do all these e-commerce business owners have in common? It's really just simple persistence. All of these people, and thousands more like them, were hurled back multiple times as they tried to achieve their online success. All of them kept charging back in with a different plan until they found one that worked for them; one that brought them the success they sought.
It doesn't only happen in e-commerce, it's a general rule of life: Persistence doesn't guarantee success, but if you're not persistent, you're not successful.

"A combination of creams and light treatment and I nearly have my colour back.Extremely happy with the vitiligo management team at Westside."
H Sidu, Westlake
Everyone likes to 'go natural', and vitiligo treatment and re-pigmentation can be done naturally. Medical treatment has a higher success rate compared to natural treatments, however approximately 50% of vitiligo patients do respond to natural combinations of Vitamin D, herbal remedies such as ginkgo and light therapy. Re-pigmentation can take up to 12 months, however success can be gauged within the first 3 months of therapy.

I'm so excited to share the following guest post from a fellow CALLI cohort member, Amy Bland. Sadly, I was out of town for this year's CALCON (don't feel too sad for me; I was in Hawaii for a dear friend's wedding!), and I missed the CALLI session on mentoring. Amy graciously agreed to blog about what happened for me, and here's what she had to say:
Last Thursday, CALLI members met with potential mentors at the Council Tree Library in Fort Collins. The morning began with with an introduction to the mentoring process, led by Christine Kreger and Janine Reid. They presented the goals and objectives for the mentor/mentee relationship, as well as the characteristics and responsibilities of each party. In the context of CALLI, the mentor provides insight and direction, while the overall needs and goals are defined by the mentee. The mentee should also drive the communication, reaching out to his/her mentor every month or more frequently if a need arises.
After the introduction and ground rules, we heard from two sets of mentors/mentees from previous CALLI cohorts. Each pair described how they formed their unique relationship, how often they met, and what they discussed during their meetings. Both mentors emphasized that they learned a tremendous amount from their mentees, so the relationship is definitely bi-directional. Also, the bonds formed during the mentoring process can extend long after the cohort ends, and may evolve into a less formal relationship. Each mentor/mentee relationship is different, but the most successful ones include a personal connection, the ease to discuss anything, and a commitment to meeting on a regular basis.
When the mentor panel ended, we transitioned into the speed dating round (no joke!). Christine and Janine brought in several potential mentors—library directors, managers, and leaders—who braved six rounds of questioning from eager mentees. I applaud the willingness of these mentors to share their time and experience; I think it says a lot about this profession that there are so many who are willing to help and share.
Before wrapping up, Christine and Janine encouraged mentees to reach out to the mentors who could offer them professional guidance. The mentors didn't need to be those who attended Thursday's meeting, but they should be available to meet regularly throughout the year.
Since this meeting was on the first day of CALCON, we had the rest of the conference to observe ("stalk") potential mentors. With so many amazing librarians in attendance, hopefully most CALLI members left with at least an idea of who they would like as a mentor. I know I did!

We have covered a large quantity of information in this chapter on program design. Our in-depth discussion of concepts and considerations, illustrated with advice and examples, demonstrates the importance of planning for success and designing an effective program that will enhance older adults' quality of life. Even if you have already implemented a program, you might find some of the tips and examples useful or inspirational. Or you may discover that revisiting some steps in planning or marketing, for example, solves a problem.
As you review the key points at the end of each section, reflect on the common characteristics across topics: you and your program or organization should be adaptable, opportunistic, strategic, evolving, principled, and embedded in the community that you serve. These traits allow you to attract a broad base of support, from participants and partners to funders. Supporters or stakeholders, in turn, can help you to plan a more successful program. Partners, in particular, should be involved as early as possible in the design. Creating a learning community of participants does not just happen by chance; it requires careful planning with plenty of lead time, and an understanding of andragogy and instructional design. In order to experience mastery and benefit from social engagement, older adults need to be challenged, to learn from and be inspired by others, and to succeed regardless of their abilities. They should also be respected and honored for their lifetime of experiences.

Foldfactory.com expands with folded samples, dielines and printed comps.
If you haven't been to foldfactory.com in a while, you're going to want to make some time to check it out. Big things are happening at the company known for sharing creative folded formats on the popular e-video series "60-Second Super-Cool Fold of the Week."
It's been a big year for foldfactory—hitting a million views on YouTube, celebrating 300 episodes of "Fold of the Week," and reinventing the business to meet the needs of their growing (and rabid) fan base.
"Over the years, we have received countless requests to help customers, not just with ideas and advice, but also with requests for dielines and samples," states Trish Witkowski, founder of Foldfactory. "It was always so frustrating to tell people that we couldn't help. However, we also knew that transforming the business into a real "folding factory" was going to be a gigantic leap that we couldn't ease our way into. If we were going to do it, it would be all or nothing."
Advancements in digital printing and finishing have made it possible to create many of the amazing formats that have been featured at Foldfactory over the years—and Foldfactory plans to get those formats out to the world as quickly as possible. With an aggressive plan to add new formats every week, Foldfactory launched in September with 24 "Super-Cool Folds™." In October, they began releasing four new formats per month, setting an ambitious pace of 48 new formats per year. As of mid-November 2015, they already have 41 creative formats, including the Twist Fold, the Tulip Fold, the Circular Accordion, the 9-Panel Reveal, and much more. They will also periodically release special collections, including the recent Holiday Collection of 10 creative folded holiday card formats, presented by some very special holiday guests. Click here to see the Foldfactory Holiday Collection: http://www.foldfactory.com/shop/holiday-collection-2015#cp=1&cph=2048
The site is designed to show off the creativity of the formats in an interactive way. Each format is in a bright 2-tone color scheme and features "magic hands" that appear to fold and unfold as you roll over them. Visitors can scroll down to download a dieline and order a blank folded sample. Then, upload your layout to order a digitally printed and laser-cut comp of your design.
Also new this Fall is a new membership program called "Fold Club." This free subscription gives members unlimited access to Foldfactory's award-winning (and addictive) FOLDRite template-building service – a service that, until now, has always been a paid subscription. Plus, members will get the inside track on new format releases and will receive the " Fold of the Week" in their inbox every Thursday.

Greg Sileo was the second of two candidates to respond to the housing questionnaire. His answers are below, with no edits.
1. Baltimore City has 30,000+ vacant homes. How do you intend to clean up blight in your district that isn't a rehash or continuation of previous plans? And how do you propose to pay for your plan?
Throughout my career working in low-income communities I have seen the devastating impact that vacant buildings can have on a community. Knocking on doors in neighborhoods such as Upton and Druid Heights I often have to walk twenty doors before finding another habitable unit. This sort of blight perpetuates poverty and violence and stunts the growth of our City.
While it may be a plan proposed previously, I am a strong proponent of the Land Banking model. Land Banking is being used by over 75 jurisdictions to efficiently handle acquisition, maintenance, and sale of vacant properties. Land Banks can be a valuable tool to both streamline the acquisition of dilapidated properties and to make investment more viable in low-income communities. I would help fund this model by working to enact stricter financial penalties for negligent owners. I would also streamline the process for moving properties into the hands of responsible owners who are focused on rebuilding the community.
2. The two fastest-growing income groups in Baltimore are those who earn $75,000 and up, and those who earn $25,000 and below. The middle class in Baltimore is stagnating, and struggling to afford rental housing. How do you propose to keep median-income renters from leaving the city without pushing them into homeownership they may not want or be able to afford?
As one of the authors of the City's first plan to end homelessness, I understand the impact of our City's lack of affordable housing. Workers must make nearly $19 an hour in order to afford a one bedroom apartment in Baltimore City. The gap between our minimum wage and the cost of housing only continues to grow. As homes are renovated and new buildings are constructed, it is essential that many of our city's residents are not left-behind by our city's growth.
We must create more affordable housing in order to keep middle and low income residents from leaving the City. As a Council Member, I will advocate for adequate funding and enforcement of the City's Inclusionary Zoning law to ensure that the original intentions of the program are realized. I will also work with developers who are receiving City tax breaks to identify opportunities for affordable housing within their projects.
3. Our Housing Authority has a decades-long reputation for corruption and incompetence at its top leadership tier. How do you plan to address this?
As the former Director of the City's Community Action agency and as the former Director of Homeless Outreach, I worked closely with leadership at both the Housing Authority and the Department of Housing and Community Development and experienced the dysfunction and lack of vision firsthand. We need immediate change.
As Councilman, I would fight to separate the roles of Housing Commissioner and Executive Director of the Housing Authority. I would also call for the immediate resignation of Commissioner Graziano and would encourage the new Mayor to start a national search for a new, innovative leader that can develop a vision to improve the affordable housing stock in Baltimore.
4. It's been said that Baltimore's tax sale process is burdensome to seniors and low-income residents, forcing many out of their homes. How do you plan to make this process easier for those who are struggling to pay for their water bills and property taxes, and how would you better structure the city's tax sale process to ensure homes aren't purchased and subsequently neglected?
As someone who has spent his career working in low-income communities, I understand the financial pressures facing many of our residents. Many people are undereducated, underemployed, and forced to make difficult choices between which bills they can pay in a given month. The Baltimore City tax sale process is unforgiving. Residents can lose their homes without any compensation for loss of equity for minor delinquent tax or water bills.
As Councilman, I would fight to increase the delinquent tax bill threshold that sends properties into the tax sale process for homes that are owner-occupied and I would fight to exempt water bill liens from the tax sale process. I would also ensure that residents are better educated on the tax sale process and that proper notice is given and services are offered to residents at risk.
5. If you plan to introduce a reduction in property taxes, please indicate that, but also indicate how you plan to make up for the lost revenue.
It is imperative that Baltimore reduces its property tax rate in order to be more competitive with the surrounding counties. Family can move to the County and pay substantially less taxes, get more space, higher quality schools, and more responsive services. Lowering taxes will stimulate the housing market and result in greater home ownership.
As an IT consultant working with government, I believe that there are substantial opportunities to use technology to streamline City processes, create efficiencies, and reduce costs. I also agree with proposals to create a separate trash collection fee that will put us on a more even playing field with the surrounding counties.
6. How do you propose enforcing Baltimore City's inclusionary housing law?
Baltimore's inclusionary housing law, which was modeled after similar more effective laws in hundreds of jurisdictions across the country, has produced minuscule results since it was passed in 2007. The trust fund, a key component of the law, has been underfunded and the mechanisms that trigger the law have loopholes that are resulting in far more exemptions than affordable units produced.
As Councilman, I would fight for adequate funding of the Inclusionary Housing Trust Fund to ensure that the intentions of the program are realized. I would also work with advocates to identify and close loopholes that are negatively impacting the production of affordable units. Lastly, I would strengthen the law to ensure that the law creates more units affordable to our lowest income residents.
7. Is there anything else voters should know about your approach to housing in District 11?
We need to do more to keep families in Baltimore and create homeownership opportunities. The 11th District is home to the highest concentration of anchor institutions in the City including the University of Maryland Medical Center, Mercy Hospital, University of Baltimore, Maryland Institute College of Art, and the University of Maryland Baltimore. I believe that our partnerships with these institutions can be stronger.
As councilman, I would fight to expand Live Near Your Work incentives by:
− Meeting with the heads of anchor institutions to increase participation in programs which offer financial incentives (to cover down payments and closing costs) to employees who buy a home near where they work.
− Reinvesting recent increases in the City's Transfer and Recordation taxes to fund higher incentives along with low-interest fixed rate mortgages for employees who choose to live in transitioning communities.
− Advocating for Live Near Your Work incentives targeting teachers who choose to live near their schools.

Are relationships more important than wins and profit in the upper levels of the NBA?
More than their knack for bolstering their teams in the standings, NBA coaches and executives are being fired for their relationship skills–or lack thereof.
After a successful 2013 campaign in which he took the Memphis Grizzlies to the Western Conference Finals, coach Lionel Hollins lost his job. The Grizzlies had never been to a conference finals.
Following the Grizzlies 2014 campaign in which new coach Dave Joerger took a hobbled squad to the playoffs, giving the Thunder hell for seven games before falling in the first round, the team strangely allowed Joerger to interview with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Then, unexpectedly, CEO Jason Levien, the man who ousted Hollins and was willing to let Joerger walk away, received his pink slip.
In a response to a question on Twitter, Grizzlies owner Robert Pera said, "I will open up the checkbook and do whatever it takes to bring us closer to a championship organization." But after twice shaking up his organization in only one calendar year after his team stood on the brink on a NBA Finals appearance, fans question whether throwing money at the problem will necessarily solve it.
This season, after three years on the job, the Golden State Warriors replaced Coach Mark Jackson with commentator Steve Kerr, a former guard with the Bulls and five other NBA teams, who boasts no NBA coaching experience. In 2014, Jackson led the Warriors to their most successful season in two decades and their second trip to the playoffs under him. At Kerr's introductory press conference, Warriors general manager Bob Myers said, "When you strip it all away, what matters most is winning." He claimed "the coach is the highest importance."
One avenue for a GM to avoid personality conflicts with the coach is to hire himself as the coach. Most recently, Minnesota Timberwolves president of basketball operations Flip Saunders opted to name himself coach. After the retirement of Rick Adelman in April, Saunders was unable to lure Dave Joerger or a high profile college coach to Minnesota. Alas, Saunders hired himself as coach–he had previously coached the franchise to its greatest successes–while maintaining his front office responsibilities.
Stan Van Gundy assumed both roles for the Detroit Pistons this offseason after the team offered him $35 million over five years. It has been reported that the Cleveland Cavaliers pursued Kentucky Coach John Calipari for a similar role in a 10-year deal worth $80 million. Calipari instead signed a lucrative contract extension to remain in Lexington.
The coveted set-up gives Saunders and Van Gundy the authority to make basketball and personnel decisions. Each answers to ownership. Ultimately, it removes the shackles of having to implement a coaching philosophy with players chosen by someone else. It puts leader of the bench and the front office in complete charge of the franchise's, and his own, destiny.
Surely Hollins and Jackson wouldn't have been in the bad graces of upper management had each enjoyed a similar arrangement, which probably explains why coaches seek to wear the GM hat and GMs look to call the shots from the bench, too. The relationships of Hollins and Jackson with upper management caused them to become expendable even as their number of wins trended upward.
Both the Grizzlies and Warriors declined to comment when asked if relationship consistency between the coach, on the one hand, and management and ownership, on the other, is more important than winning percentage.
"Owners and GMs have a vision of what they want their team to be," says Dr. Tim Ryan, coordinator of Sports and Leisure Management at the University of Memphis, "Even if their team is winning, they will make a change because they believe that their vision is what's right for their team."
From 2012 to 2013, the Lionel Hollins-led Grizzlies improved from 41-25 to 56-26 (2012 was a lockout-shortened season). As the wins increased, so too did attendance and ticket prices. The same is true for Jackson. In 2012, Mark Jackson's first season as the Golden State Warriors coach, the franchise asked an average of $34.13 for a ticket. At the time of his firing, the average Warriors ticket cost $44.27. And winning made both teams a hot ticket.
The rise and fall of attendance and ticket revenue can't be entirely attributed to a coach coming or going. Yet, the coach plays as a large piece of a team's overall success, which directly correlates to ticket sales and fan participation. If wins equal money and the NBA is a business, it stands that NBA GMs and owners should not be willing to allow personal differences to impede the business of basketball and the economics of winning.
"They say that ticket sales are important," Dr. Ryan explains. "But their actions don't always back it up."

Last week the symptoms came out of nowhere about two-thirds through a road ride. At just under 60 miles it wasn't particularly long but the route was peppered most of the way with short, punchy climbs that require bursts of power rather than even tempo—with seemingly more of them on the way back. After a quick stop to fill water bottles we immediately hit the biggest of these climbs and my up-til-now even cadence suddenly and unexpectedly turned into squares. I've been riding this way since mid-2006.
In the winter of 2005 I was coming off the best mountain bike race season I've ever had. I rolled into 2006 going even better. I doubled up at the Sea Otter Classic in April, doing the 70-mile road race followed by the then 40-mile mountain bike event a day later as a big training block. By May I was fried and had to spend all of June away from bicycles. I've never completely recovered from the over reaching induced fatigue of that year.
At this point, it is what it is. I've learned to deal with it, most importantly mentally. I'm no longer embarrassed to crack on a ride. I've accepted the fact that it happens and if it does I just peel off from the ride and head home because when it does on the mountain bike on our technical trails, it becomes a hike for me. I have no power or mental focus. On the road I can occasionally rebound but on the dirt? Not a chance.
It's also difficult because I still want, and try, to ride every single day but that can't happen anymore. I need to respect my need for rest and recovery even more now. If I do one hard ride and the next day the group is going out for a big one, I have to respectfully decline. It's made me aware that stage races are pretty much out of the question. It's also made me appreciate the skills and ability of everyone I ride with more than ever.
These days, I monitor my recovery; take a lot of easy days as well as two days off the bike a week so I can be fresh when it's really go time (when I don't I feel the repercussions.) And, while I love stage racing I've had to reevaluate yet still set goals. For 2015 it's a solo adventure at 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo. Last time I was there was 2001 and it was an amazing time. If I play my cards right by training efficiently and respecting my rest I'll get some great rewards: motivation to ride through a Pennsylvania winter yet again, focus on resting as much as recovery and a happy return to racing.
Press release of the week
So, I get lots of info about a lot of stuff. Some of my best friends are in marketing–but this, this, my friends takes the cake. Marketing people, take note of the below info about the new Outlier Festival scheduled for September 2015 at a yet to be announced Colorado location. And to think my simple mind was impressed with the age-old, "Your ticket gets you the whole seat but you only need the edge!"
"We're talking about the gunners. The Jedi. Riders who can straight up BALL. The fringe of a fringe of a fringe of a fringe.
It's a gathering of this lean and densely muscled tribe against a backdrop perfectly suited for their activity of choice.
It's also an incredible back and side-country competitive event with and ultra-endurance XC and a ripping 2-stage enduro. Unsanctioned (no explanation necessary), and with a King Kong-sized purse (if King Kong rocked a purse.) Got an MTB hero? The chances are pretty decent that you'll see them here.
It's a chance for the fringe element to gather, ride hard, drink beer with friends and let loose one final haymaker as the MTB season enters the late rounds. Huzzah.
What else? It's a foam party. It's a disco cover band (bring your afro wig and sequined bell-bottoms). It's speed metal. And Yoda jammies. It's Bo "Bandit" Darville. It's a hot air balloon filled with happiness… captained by David Lee Roth."

Jacksonville, the largest city in Florida, is using Drupal (and Mollom) at http://jacksonville.com. The Florida Times-Union is the major daily newspaper in Jacksonville and Jacksonville.com is its official website. Cool!
Jacksonville using Drupal
Cool, I always thought Miami was the largest city. I woulda never guessed Jacksonville.
It's great seeing Drupal expand out and get more and more use.
I think that's area, not population. Jacksonville consolidated with Duval county to form a huge metro area.
If there is actual file http://www.jacksonville.com/CHANGELOG.txt - there is 5.10. And it's not good
We use Drupal 5 for entertainment site of one large city in Russia.
It's Drupal 5, but not 5.10. It's actually Drupal 5 with Pressflow performance patches. When development began, key modules were not yet available for Drupal 6.
With jooy.ru we have the same situation. And more than 30k strings of own code written so it's to expensive jump to drupal 6.x :(
I plan port all codebase from drupal 5 to drupal 7 when it become stable.
Nice implementation.
The design could have been better by making good use of contrast & white space.
As a Drupal user and Jacksonville web designer, I'm very pleased to see Jacksonville.com using Drupal. Great job Florida T-U!
