This is an age of Information Technology where the computer and communication technologies together play a very vital role in all spheres of human endeavour. The best known example that has touched all of us is the computerized railway reservation system. Here the computer located in different towns are interconnected through a special network of railway and the computes communicate with each other. Similarly airline reservation system , hotel room reservation system etc. allow us to make suitable reservations from anywhere in the world. Another influence of the information technology can be seen in the banking sector where we could withdraw the money at any time from any of the branches or Automatic Teller Machine make payments through credit cards etc.
We can find so many other example of information technology around us. Advent of internet that has made the dramatic impact on the society by bringing people from all over the world together and making most of these application come alive. Internet has changed the way people communicate with each other in an efficient and cost effective manner through the features of e – mail, news groups, chat rooms and internet based conferencing.
With its all pervasive influence, IT is about to bring in the way we do shopping and business. IT enables complex business operations to be performed by effective using the electronic networks like internet and computers. When the business is performed on the electronic media, it is called electronic business (E-Business) or electronic commerce (E-Commerce).
E-Commerce or Electronic Commerce is a general term for any type of business or commercial transaction that involves the transfer of information across the internet. This covers a range of different type of business from consumer based sites like Amazon.com, through auction and music sites like eBay or MP3.com, to business exchange trading goods or services between corporations
" Electronic commerce encompasses the use of technologies, processes and management practices that enhance organizational competitiveness through strategic use of electronic information. E-Commerce, which is selling of products on the internet, represents only the "front-end" of E-Business goes beyond E-Commerce by integrating it tightly with business operation to improve performance, create value and enable new relationship between business and consumers."(MIS Magazine, May 1999)
According to David Baum, "Electronic commerce is a dynamic set of technologies, applications and processes that link enterprises, consumers and communities through electronic transactions and the electronic exchange of the goods, services and information."
Example of E-Commerce
There are several examples of electronic commerce covering a wide spectrum of application areas in industry. Given below a few areas in which E-Commerce is taking place and these give some idea of the current status of E-Commerce activity.
On line trading in stock exchange instead of traditional floor trading. Trading in dematerialized share.
Electronic shopping for various types of product Filling tax return electronically. In supermarkets all over the world currently money transfer take place electronically. Integrated financial networks used by the banks enable the customers to copy out their banking transactions electronically.
Following are some specific examples of E-Commerce:
Amazon.com : It is a world's largest bookstore and is an excellent example of E-Commerce service. An internet user has the facility to search for books, journals etc. based on keywords or title. The user can order the books online and use a credit card for paying the cost of the books. Amazon.com also locates the books from publisher and other booksellers and supplies the items.
Scope of E-commerce
E-Commerce encompasses all activities of business, starting from developing manufacturing , marketing and selling the products, obtaining information through market intelligence, assessing the market, grooming the market , providing pre and post sale support, procuring material facilitating contacts between traders, supporting shared business processes etc. In the broadest terms e-commerce includes any form of business/trading that is carried out using the electronic medium. It could involve goods or services. The transactions could takes place between:
One organization and another
An organization and an individual
An organization and a statutory or legislative body
Thus e-commerce encompasses all activities that are carried out by a manufacturing and business firms except those activities that are to be physically carried out, such as manufacturing, packing and shipping. It is not essential that all the above activities are to be carried out on the internet from the beginning. The store can select some activities to start with and then gradually expand the activities it carries out on the internet. E-commerce can also be applied in the field of
1) Education
2) Personnel training
3) Entertainment
4) Banking and financial transactions
5) Essential services etc.
9.5 Basic models & Essentials to establish E-Commerce
The basic business models are of two types.
Business-Consumer model
Business-Business model
1.Business to Consumer Model
This model cover all transactions done between consumer and trader just as marketing of goods, ordering for the goods and making payments etc.
Purpose of this model is to enable the consumer to locate and purchase desired goods or service over the internet when the customer is interested in making the purchase.
For the merchants this model ensures the higher revenue by enabling them to access broad market.
2.Business to Business Model
This model covers the interactions between the business houses. Taking the example of automobile industry , the broad areas of activity in this industry can be through off as: market survey, product development , market building , product production , product distribution or supply chain management, coordination of sales, financial planning and management, procurement and inventory management,
personnel management etc. involve the firm dealing with other firms that can be done with help of internet. This model being encompassing all transactions with all parties involved, the information system tend to be much more complex than simple order supply transactions.
Essentials of E-Commerce
Enterprise large or small tend to develop their Web presence in stages. Once a web presence is created then the enterprise wants to use that site to enhance customer service and to produce revenue. It is at the latter stage that E-Commerce comes into play.
A server provider's hosting customers will go through the same evolution described in the preceding module. It is not enough just pick off the high end client who represents the highest per client revenue there simply enough of them. Furthermore the future opportunity is to provide a platform that can move a client along the range from low to high function as client sophistication and needs evolve. Many small and medium sized businesses are struggling with the high cost of entry to
E-Commerce. Creating a complete online selling environment can require considerable time, money and technical expertise. Many businesses follow the following three steps to establish an effective E-Commerce.
Step one: Develop a content site and handle transaction off-line.
Step two: Develop an on-line catalog and handle transaction off-line.
Step three: Develop an on-line catalog and handle transaction on-line.
Hardware required Software required
Processor Operating system
Modem HTML, Java, IIS
Mouse Java script, SQL
Scanner Window
Others: 1) DHTML 2) XML 3) VBS Script etc.
9.6 Impact of E-Commerce on business and consumers
E-Commerce provides the following benefits to sellers as well as consumers.
(A) Benefits to Business
1.Reduction in cost: E-Commerce helps a business by reducing the cost by the following means:
E-Commerce helps to reduce inventory costs by allowing the company to access and utilize their supplier's data base. This allow for the just in time inventory control by providing the knowledge about the inventory.
E-Commerce helps us to reduce cost of the procurement and the payments. By putting the catalogue on the net supplier can receive order on the net and payment can be received by the net which help the businessmen to reduce the cost regarding the above.
Human resource costs are reduced as the need for training and workers is reduced.
2.Improve customers satisfaction: Customer satisfaction can be ensured by following ways
The customers can be controlled by providing the information about the product at their home.
By delivering the product to the customers at home
By getting the payment on the net.
By providing the demonstration of the product on the net.
3.Improve management
By improving the reporting and information system By ensuring the better control techniques
By improving sales and marketing services
(B) Benefits to Customers
From the consumer point of view E-Commerce has following benefits:
Consumer can access to the original firm rather than access to the dealer or middleman.
Consumer have global choice regardless of their geographical location.
The shopping decision will be much easier as the consumer can reach several shops, compare the quality and prices in a short time.
Saving of time and convenience
The selection of an e-commerce marketing mix is likely to involve the application of established marketing management principles as the basis for defining how electronic technologies are to be integrated into a firm's existing operations. In many organizations, e-commerce marketing mix proposals will be based around enhanching existing offline activities by utilizing the Internet to provide new sources of information, customer supplier interaction and/or alternative purchase transaction channels.
It will be necessary to determine whether the Internet provides an opportunity for product enhancement. Such opportunities include improving customer service and broadening the product line. As far as pricing is concerned, thought must be given to whether offline and online prices will be different and the potential implications of any price variance for existing offline customers. When the move to e-commerce involves new distribution costs, consideration should be given to delivery charges. Tesco, for example, imposes a delivery charge for its home shopping service.
The first issue to be addressed when considering promotional mix decisions given the important role of the Internet in making information available to customers-is the design of a company's webside. Some large companies will decide that this is an activity over which they wish to retain absolute control. In this situation the firm will hire a team of employees to manage the website creation process. However, there are a variety of other approaches that may be adopted. The design process may be contracted out to a major consulting firm, such as IBM, or to one of the many specialist Internet agencies that have been formed in recent years. Firms with limited financial resources may wish to use a web-authoring package. One of the more expensive, but highly popular, authoring software packages is Drumbeat 2000 produced by Macromedia (www.macromedia.com). This product, besides containing a plethora of design options, also has features such as a shopping cart function; secure credit card transactions and an integrated database system. For those firms that do not feel able to run their own Internet operation, another option is to join an existing website, which acts as host for a number of organizations. These hosting services usually provide a choice of basic website templates to suit different types of business. The firm is provided with software by the hosting service, which permits it to customize a template and thus develop its own visual identity. An example of a hosting service is Mindspring.com (www.mindspring.com) The company provides software for a firm to build a product catalogue and storefront, which is then featured on the Mind spring site.
The degree to which a company already has a strong offline market presence will strongly influence the scale of an e-commerce promotional plan. Thus, for example, when
Tesco, the largest UK supermarket chain, began to offer an online grocery purchasing service; the promotional launch campaign was quite simple. As the company already had strong brand recognition in the market, the main aim of its promotional activity was to register awareness for its website address. This was achieved by using traditional channels such as some television advertising, mail shots to Tesco loyalty card holders and in-store merchandising displays. For new entrants with no offline presence, building brand recognition can be expensive. However, the Internet has also given rise to some novel approaches to promotion.
The commonest distribution model in the majority of offline consumer goods markets is to delegate both transaction and logistics processes (e.g. major brands such as Coca-Cola being marketed via supermarket chains). This can be contrasted with the online world where absolute delegation of all processes is a somewhat rarer event. The reason for this situation is that many firms, having decided that e-commerce offers an opportunity for revising distribution management practices, perceive cyberspace as offering a way to regain control over transactions by cutting out intermediaries and selling direct to their end-user customers. This process, in which traditional intermediaries may be squeezed out of channels, is, as we have already seen, usually referred to as disinter mediation. Hence, for those firms engaged in assessing the e-commerce distribution aspects of their marketing mix, there is a need to recognize that the technology has the following implications.
* Distance ceases to be a cost influencer because online delivery of information is substantially the same no matter what the destination of the delivery.
* Business location becomes an irrelevance because the e-commerce corporation can be based anywhere in the world.
* The technology permits continuous trading, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Once all the issues associated with the e-commerce marketing mix have been resolved, these variables will provide the basis for specifying the technological infrastructure that will be needed to support the planned e-commerce operation. In some cases the firm will decide to manage all of these matters in house but, in others, the firm may outsource a major proportion of its e-commerce operations to specialist subcontractors.
Several factors have a role in the success of any e-commerce venture. They may include :
* Providing value to customers: Vendors can achieve this by offering a product or product-line that attracts potential customers at a competitive price, as in non-electronic commerce.
* Providing service and performance: Offering a responsive, user-friendly purchasing experience, just like a flesh-and-blood retailer, may go some way to achieving these goals.
* Providing an attractive website: The tasteful use of colour, graphic, animation, photographs, fonts and white-space percentage may aid success in this respect.
* Providing an incentive for customers to buy and to return: Sales promotions to this end can involve coupons, special offers, and discounts. Cross-linked website and advertising affiliate programs can also help.
* Providing personal attention: Personalized we sites, purchase suggestions, and personalized special offers may go some of the way to
substituting for the face-to-face human interaction found at a traditional
point of sale.
* Providing a sense of community: Chat rooms, discussion boards, soliciting customer input, loyalty schemes and affinity programs can help in this respect.
* Providing reliability and security: Parallel servers, hardware redundancy, fail-safe technology, information encryption, and firewalls can enhance this requirement.
* Providing a 360-degree view of the customer relationship: Ensuring that all employees, suppliers, and partners have a complete view, and the same view, of the customer. However, customers may not appreciate the big brother experience.
* Owning the customer's total experience: E-tailers foster this by treating any contacts with a customer as part of a total experience, an experience that becomes synonymous with the brand.
* Streamlining business processes, possibly through re-engineering and information technologies.
* Letting customers help themselves: Provision of a self-serve site, easy to use without assistance, can help in this respect.
* Helping customers do their job of consuming: E-tailers can provide such help through ample comparative information and good search facilities. Provision of component information and safety-and-health comments may assist e-tailers to define the customers' job.
* Constructing a commercially sound business model: If this key success factor had appeared in textbooks in 2000, many of the dot.coms might not have gone ruined.
* Engineering an electronic value chain in which one focuses on a "limited" number of core competencies - the opposite of a one-stop shop. (Electronic stores can appear either specialist of generalist if properly programmed.)
* Operating on or near the cutting edge of technology and staying there as technology changes (but remembering that the fundamentals of commerce remain indifferent to technology).
* Setting up an organization of sufficient alertness and agility to respond quickly to any changes in the economic, social and physical environment.

I dig this chick. I've been following her blog for roughly six months now and loving it. Usually I stick to my handy Google Reader to get through the blog roll, especially since I usually have 100 posts to read a day. Not complaining since the information is always useful but I like making it efficient. When I notice that this awesome chikita has written something new I take the time to click and read straight from her blog. It might be the bolding, and italics made for certain emphasis that draws me but alas I follow like a dog waiting for a good pet. She rocks and you should check her out. Her latest post on SHINING has my ears ringing with joy. A conveniently nice reminder to live life for NOW for ME because it is beautiful.

Where has the time gone....
Frankly, I'm disappointed in myself that I have not blogged in almost two weeks. I have no explanation..especially since husband #1 is annoyed that I continued blogging past my 40th birthday, and I enjoy annoying him and I've still gone two weeks without a word. Perhaps its because the three aliens have reinvaded my hemisphere of solitude. I've been doing laundry and making meals and cleaning the kitchen and cleaning up those wayward drops of pee that seem to either miss the toilet or remain on the seat because one of the aliens was too lazy to pick it up before he went....and life is back to normal..or as normal as my life is.
And now we have the issue of hurricane Irene...six years ago we decided the boys were too old to keep going to sesame place, hence the ganchrow family baseball road trip began. This year, we are adding the bonus of driving through a hurricane to the itinerary-not enough to see the buffalo bisons, Toronto blue jays, Rochester rodents(can't remember the name of the team) and the Boston red sox, we want to show the boys what it's like to get stranded on the highway in the middle of a hurricane-that will be a true test of my marriage....I can't wait. Hopefully, we will be interviewed by some local yocal news channel and when the reporter asks "why would you choose to leave during the most powerful hurricane of the decade?". I can answer, "well, my husband paid for the tickets already and those minor league games can really cost a bundle.." and then we will offer the reporter something from our white trash cooler...since there is no way Jose that we are paying for any beverages on this trip....ya, as I said, I can't wait.
I'm hoping that god will protect our van, fuzzy dice and all, like he did the Jews in the desert...and that we will make it to our destinations, our motel 6's and all the other fun things we have planned.
And let us all say....amen..
Happy thursday

Once again, I am going on a photo journey, taking one picture or many a day for a year. This will be my fourth "Project 365." The first time, I scrapbooked my year, last year I decided to try a blog. This way I could share it will all of my friends and family along with learning something new. I have had so much fun and positive comments from others, that I will continue once again. Thanks for visiting, hope you enjoy!

We would not have seen the lights if we had gone by bus. The boat was able to get to open spaces better.

Yeah this was just ok......he said we saw Northern Lights but nothing really very faint.

Not that great. You could barely see anything and there wasn't anything in the form of entertainment of information. You can basically see more from the shore right near Harpa.

Stil vor Talent Festival 2015
Summer in Berlin, that means: dancing under the clear sky! The open air season is about to begin and the first highlight is just coming up: Stil vor Talent Festival 2015. On June 7th you can dance the day away with finest electronic dance music in Rummelsburg and give the summer a proper welcome. Here is all you need to know:
The Label
The mastermind behind Berlin-based label Stil vor Talent (short: SvT) is none other than house music producer Oliver Koletzki. Following the surprising success of his track Mückenschwarm he founded Stil vor Talent in 2005, which has since established a position as one of the most influential german EDM labels. Besides founder Oliver Koletzki Stil vor Talent today lists artists like Sascha Braemer, Animal Trainer, Kellerkind and HVOB.
The Festival
Pretty soon after the label kicked off, Koletzki and his fellow artists started throwing the first SvT parties. For two years now the location Rummelsburg in the east of Berlin has become the home for two big festivals celebrating the beginning and ending of summer every year. Since the techno and house music scene of Berlin has become anything but an underground movement, many open air parties have developed into rather commercialized events. By avoiding most kinds of sponsoring and branding, Stil vor Talent has managed to pursue a different path and focuses on what really matters: parties that are simply fun to everyone.
The Location
Sandy beach at the Spree, a green paradise right on the river shore and a lot of space to dance and relax – that is Rummelsburg in the borough of the same name in Berlin. The opening and closing of the open air summer has been laid in the hands of Stil vor Talent since 2013. That means you can not only look forward to the opening party on June 7th, but also to the ending party in September. And since SvT turns 10 this year, the end-of-summer rave might well become an extraordinarily spectacular thing…
The Artists
That's what we call a reasonable line-up: Besides in-house artists like Animal Trainer, Channel X and Kellerkind, Cologne-based duo Andhim will get the most of the turntables. A pleasant surprise is this big name: Dominik Eulberg will be serving finest minimal techno. And the highlight, of course, will be the set of label head Oliver Koletzki. As if that was not enough, there will be all sorts of fun decoration and a pretty crazy and unique balloon show by artist Micha de Haan. Something you should definitely see before you die!
We think that Stil vor Talent Festival 2015 is the best way to get the festival summer started. That is why we have been drumming up business for the event with a huge banner on the outside of our Industriepalast Hostel:
And since we are really looking forward to the festival, the banner will remain there until June 7th. Tickets for the party are available online here at 22 €. Don't miss it!
At a Glance:
Stil vor Talent Festival 2015 on Sunday, June 7th at 2 pm in Rummelsburg. Tickets: 22€.
Line up: Oliver Koletzki, Andhim, Dominik Eulberg, Animal Trainer, Kellerkind, Channel X, Illesnoise, Bentomane, Murat Kilic.
See you on the sandy dance floor,

Today's mail brought these to my door: 2 sets of Cuisinart black handled flatware. I can't believe the cost of everyday flatware! Granted, it's been 30 years since I had to shop for any! I did combine several discounts: an extra 20% off, Kohl's cash, free shipping, etc. to make this replacement more affordable, so hopefully this will last me the next 30 years as well. I chose the black handled ones as they will match with any table setting.
I have a line item in my monthly budget for household goods. Although I did acquire some things since moving to this new rental (lamps, a couch/love seat set, 2 end tables, a rug for DD, a bathmat for the hall bath, one bath towel, 1 hanging Fall themed kitchen towel, thermal drapes (2 sets split between DD and the twin's rooms), I have kept the actual out of pocket costs as low as possible and kept our future needs in mind. These type of purchases can be viewed as household investments. I pick neutral colors and designs that are classic and will blend with what we currently have, which we will be reusing in our next housing situation-whether it be another rental or my nexxt forever home.
How do you address replacement of house hold goods? Do you budget for them? Seek alternative sources?

... one can't help but notice that the £975m cost of next year's fuel duty concessions is, according to the Treasury's balance sheet, identical to the gains being made from cancelling child tax credit increases. The poorest families are, in other words, subsidising all drivers.Think about that the next time you fill your tank.

NewsWatch students are covering the election from all aspects. Assistant Dean Mark Lodato says reporters will be at the Democratic and Republican headquarters covering stories, in Tucson with Senate candidate Rich Carmona and in the community touching base with different groups involved in the election process. NewsWatch is producing two-and-a-half hours of live election coverage beginning at 8 p.m. on Nov. 6.
Cronkite NewsWatch also has reporters in Washington D.C. Two reporters will be doing live reports on election night about swing states and the possible implications of Hurricane Sandy on the election and the electoral process, Lodato said.
NewsWatch Reporter Bill Melugin says working this election will help to prepare him and other student reporters for the future. They will be working with real-time data, no script and no teleprompter. NewsWatch Reporter Liz Kotalik was able to cover the Democratic National Convention earlier this year. These students say being able to cover the election will give them an edge over their competition for jobs.

Browse these general contractors with great ratings from Thumbtack customers in Mount Vernon.
I didn't have an opportunity to use Jason's services, as the situation was resolved. However, we communicated on several occasions. He was attentive, responsive and more than fair with his pricing. I have included him in my arsenal of contractors and whenever the need arises, I plan to call Berry's Home Improvement.
Very quick to respond, very skilled in the projects needed to be fulfilled, and in general, very nice guys to work with!
Walter came in as a last minute save the day contractor. He is a general contractor licensed and insured and came to fix mistakes of another contractor and fix my faucets install. He ended up doing an amazing job and added a sealer to my carrera marble vanity. I am using him again for my next project. He does what he says he will, sticks to price and exceeds expectations. NICE GUY overall. Don't look further!
Greivin is a very reliable, honest and responsive contractor who did a great job at repainting our house. I offered him the job after he submitted the best bid among 4 contractors to paint my 1340 sq feet house in Hoboken. My walls were painted in dark colors with different rooms having different colors and we were shifting to all white - he did a great job that needed four coats and also agreed to repair our wooden floor in a small corner for no extra cost. He has done a great and timely job - in a condo building, he did the job with no disturbance to neighbors. Highly recommended.
I am an absentee landlord and needed a new water heater for a house in Sunnyside. Clear and timely communication is very important for me when hiring contractors. Edward responded to my calls very quickly, gave me complete information and arranged appointments with my tenant to bid and then perform the job. He used top quality materials and did a great job at a fair price. I will use him again for my plumbing needs.
PROJECT: Remove and install an exterior door. Darin came to my home a few months ago to evaluate a project I listed on Thumbtack. He provided a quote in writing within hours of meeting us. He was one of a few contractors that presented a written contract that detailed the work he proposed. He arrived at each of our three meetings on time. He completed the job tasked efficiently and left the work space clean and clear. His work was excellent!!! My husband and I would hire HBR again...in a heartbeat!
After enduring several months of frustration, inconveniences, and outright deceptions, it was a welcomed relief to find a thorough, professional and very helpful team of contractors who did everything asked with the attitude that gave my family the restored confidence in home improvement service. I would highly recommend Smart Improvement for any home renovation/repair or restorations needed.
Nicholas was on time, and very knowledgeable he made some great recommendations as to what we needed at our house. I have several other projects I plan to work with him on. Top notch contractor!
My experience with contractors, including this company, is that you have to have patience. When a job has multiple areas of concentration (electrical, plumbing, carpentry, etc.), there may be different people doing each service; which means that everything is dependent upon each person doing their service in a timely manner, otherwise possible delays. Also, most contractors have multiple job sites where their people are rotated where needed. Since no one can predict a problem will occur, this also causes delays in getting a project completed. All of this is the nature of the job. As I mentioned before, try to have patience. Renovation projects can be frustrating and sometimes upsetting; but if everything is done correctly with minimal errors, the most important thing is that you are happy with the skills provided and the quality of the work completed.
I think the work done was good enough but shortly after departure a large buckling in the column occurred. I have contacted the contractor to request immediate remediation. I would ask that Thumbtack allow me to update this review upon remediation of the buckling.
I hired Gama for a few small projects in my house. He really can do it all. From painting to flooring, and everything in between. He is always very responsive when I call and reasonably priced as well. I would definitely recommend him as a General Contractor for any home improvements.
Office kitchen renovation completed 3 weeks. Everything was well coordinated and organized with contractors from start to finish.
General renovation inside apt
Al was great. He was incredibly personable, professional, and was able to provide same day service. DC's value can't be beat. While I used their junk removal service, I was please to learn that they also provide general contracting services. I'll definitely be using them in the future.
It is my pleasure to recommend the excellent work of Rick Doggett who was the general contractor for a remodeling project of my apartment in Jersey City. From the initial interaction and proposal phase through construction and the timely completion of the job, Rick and his crew performed at the highest level of professionalism, work ethics, and dedication. The work involved a complete re-structure of the internal floor plan, moving walls, installing new fixtures, hardwood floor and carpet, electrical, plumbing, and painting, while communicating with an owner who was not on location. I would, with no hesitation, engage Rick in any future construction or remodeling that will come-up. Thank you Rick and crew for a wonderful job.
Did such a great job. Highly reliable, responded to all of my texts, trustworthy, diligent and had good pricing.
Eric was punctual, very knowledgeable and did a fantastic job. Will hire him over and over again
Will recommend him to everyone. Finally I have good experience with contractor
Raja and his workers treated this project as if they were working on their own house. Raja offered many helpful suggestions and I never had a contractor who cleaned up so well night after night! We are very pleased with the work that Zicklin Contracting did for us and would highly recommend them to everyone!
Facundo and his team were very professional throughout the whole renovation process (bathroom),I'm very happy with the end result. If I ever need to renovate anything again I would most definitely hire them again.
D.C & Sons is a great company to to work with, very professional and absolutely efficient, if you are looking for a contractor I highly recommend them..

Why William and Kate are models for "true" romance
In reality, if we think about the romances in the real world that we remember and cherish, the stories don't come out of crisis and drama. There were no stalkers, no demons, no missing babies. If we think about William and Kate, we really do see many of the same things.
I will admit that being a "royal" does tend to tweak things a bit, but let's put that aside for a minute. What you have with these two are college kids who fell in love and moved into doing what everyone seems to want to do with their life. They have a small 5 bedroom home, they hang out with their friends and family, the cook meals for each other and they love "regular" food.
When you see these two together, you really see two people in love. Too often, we see these "celebrity" relationships that appear too forced. Sure, with all of the drama around them, we really seem to "grub" on this. No, it isn't because we want to see them fall in love and live Happily Ever After. I honestly believe we want to see them fail. With a true romance, however, we want to see them succeed.
This success doesn't come from overcoming obstacles. We want to see the success of the couple just simply being happy.
We have to remember that in romance, not only is the central storyline supposed to be the romance and the relationship, but we want to have them succeed. I always say that when I close the book, I want to know that the hero and heroine are still living in their cozy little home we left them in.
And with William and Kate, I want the same thing. I want to know, without the cameras and the drama, that they are hanging out together in their small little house. I want to have that image that he comes home from work and they kick back on the sofa, sitting in trashy sweats and eating nachos while they watch the latest edition of Desperate Housewives or The Office. Heck, the dream world is that we know they watch Family Guy.
The point is, keep it real people~

I can't help it.ReplyDelete
5 bedrooms is not small. OK, perhaps for royalty, but particularly for the family of 6 I know who raised their children in a 2 bedroom, 1000sqft, house -- that is nowhere near small. (That couple also had a simple romance and are still married going on 40 years.)
ClothDragon -ReplyDelete
The point is, we're not talking mansion here.
Aw, you're such a romantic. :)ReplyDelete
But it's true for me,too. What I want from a romance is the contentment when I close the book that the characters do have what it takes to make it real, for decades.
Too many wounds, and layers of drama or danger, no matter how healed or resolved, do not present a clear picture of future snuggling potential.
I think they're actually cute & refreshing. Realizing that I thought that surprised me.ReplyDelete
I love that they married for love. Honestly, I feel for people who have to marry because of their position in life. They seem really sweet together, and I hope they do get their happily ever after.ReplyDelete
I like this in life, and in the stories I read.

Today's big education news is a UofC report showing that college graduation rates for CPS students are up -- dramatically -- but still aren't nearly as high as they need to be. Different news outlets frame the report differently --it's interesting to see. Nationally, administrators have come out against using value-added scores for teacher evaluation, and NOLA teachers who lost their jobs after Katrina are running out of legal options.
Study: More CPS graduates completing college, but rate still troubling Tribune: Of 100 freshmen who start at a Chicago public high school, about 14 will graduate from a four-year college by their mid-20s, a number that has improved over time but is still troubling and below the national average, according to a report to be released Tuesday.
Just 14 Percent of CPS Students Will Finish College, Report Says DNA Info: . Roughly 73 percent of high school freshman will now go on to graduate, but only 14 percent of CPS ninth-graders of any race will earn a college degree within 10 years of starting high school. That's up from 8 percent in eight years ago.
Odds nearly double that CPS students get college degrees Crain's Chicago Business: In a sign of real progress at Chicago Public Schools, the odds that ninth-graders will earn a bachelor's degree by the time they hit their mid-20s has almost doubled since 2006.
Computer science coming to all Chicago Public Schools Crain's Chicago Business: Chicago Public Schools and the country's six other largest school districts are joining more than 50 others to start offering introductory computer science to all their students, the White House said Monday.
White House Focuses on Computer Science in Schools AP: The school districts encompassing New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Las Vegas, Houston and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, are committing to offer the course in high school or middle school. While some large districts already have computer electives at limited campuses, all are now pledging to make computer science a standard offering district-wide.
LEAP Innovations Receives $750K from Chicago Public Education Fund EdSurge: In April, Breakthrough Schools: Chicago announced that seven Chicago Public Schools had each won $100,000 in planning grants to "develop and launch next-generation schools", including Cesar E. Chávez Multicultural Academic Center and KIPP Chicago ..
Education calculations: How much local, state and federal school funding Illinois districts receive Reboot Illinois: In Illinois, much local education funding comes from property taxes within the district. Areas with higher property values pay higher property taxes, meaning more money is then funneled into the schools in the area.

Vacation post part 2
We spent several days in Las Cruces, and enjoyed (in no particular order):
-Riding in the excellent trail network in the Dona Anas. Kudos to the RimRattlers for building these trails - they're well routed, well maintained, and wicked fun. As good, IMO, as anything in Fruita, if not quite as extensive (yet).
-Eating at Nellie's. If you're a green chile fan, this is the best place on earth. Luckily, it was only about a 5 minute bike ride from the B&B we stayed at. Key words "Smothered, green", dudes.
-Downing a few tasty pints at the High Desert brewery. I liked the porter best. The "large" nachos cost $9, and would easily feed 4 hungry mountain bikers. Otherwise, the food is only mediocre, but the beer makes up for it.
-Visiting with my brother and checking out some ultra-ghetto swap meets. I got a bunch of Mexican vanilla extract for $3, and a couple of super good relleno burritos for $2 each. The really weird thing was that people would pull up in their big shiny SUVs to set out the random crap they were selling. How the heck do you afford an Expedition (let alone the gas) when your livelihood consists of selling garbage (and I'm not exaggerating, the stuff was generally crap) at a flea market? Maybe they were just there for fun or something.
We stayed at a B&B called "Inn of the Arts" or something along those lines, and I was unimpressed. The location was great, but I expect more than a couple of bisquick pancakes and some cheerios for "breakfast". Maybe I'm expecting too much, but the spread at HoJos looked pretty good by comparison. How hard is it to scramble a couple of eggs? Not that it mattered, though. We had plenty of good/cheap/greasy New Mexican food all around us.
Pictures from Cruces, in no particular order. Tomorrow, Hueco Tanks and Tucson!

Are We Taking Too Long In Recognizing The Serious Implications Of Global Warming?
Global warming is one of the largest and prevalent environmetal issues that has caught my attention over the years. i think we are already seeing the effects, but yet we, as a world community, are burying our heads in the sand... or melting glacial waters or bitterly cold snow or tropical storm debris, depending upon which region of the world we are living.
Have a look at these articles and their related stories for more details....
In the report's foreword, UK Prime Minister Tony Blair writes that "it is now plain that the emission of greenhouse gases... is causing global warming at a rate that is unsustainable."

MELTING PROCESS REGULATION AND CONTROL SYSTEM FOR THE OPTIMIZATION OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN AN ELECTRIC FURNACEProject ID: EE./00323/86
Finanziato nell'ambito di:
Dettagli del progetto
Costo totale:EUR 344 486
Contributo UE:EUR 137 795
Coordinato in:Spain
Argomento (i):3.4 - INDUSTRY
Meccanismo di finanziamento:DEM - Demonstration contracts
The aim of the project is to reduce the electrical consumption in the melting process of the scrap in an electric arc furnace by means of a combined system of computer and automatisms which regulates the energy supply in each step of the melting operation and in each zone of the furnace operating independently each electrode.
This project was presented to be installed in a special steel plant producing 200,000 tons per year, with an estimated energy saving of 15 of 20 Kwh/t.
The system generates additional savings in the reduction of refractories and electrodes consumption due to the reduction of the tap to tap period.
The system has been installed in the factory in December 1988.
During January and February 1989, work was carried out in the melting shop in order to adapt the system to the specific plant characteristics and to obtain an integral use of he whole possibilities of the system.
From the beginning of March 1989 the ARMS MARK II is performing in optimal operating conditions and the results obtained allow to assure that the estimates of energy previously foreseen will be widely surpassed.The results obtained have been, per ton of liquid steel :
Electric Arc Ladle EAF +
Furnace Furnace LF
____________ _______ _____
kWh Nm30 kWh kWh
1988 average 464 34,272 536
January 1989 465 33,5 68 533
February 1989 466 34 75 541
March 1989 425 33,8 65 490
April 1989 416 32,9 65 481
It means that an energy saving of 536-481 = 55 kWh/ton of liquid steel has been achieved. It is expected that this energy saving will be maintened or surpassed.
Additional savings coming from the reduction of refractories and electrodes consumptionas well as metalic yield increasing have been detected.
The basic principle of the project lies in the fact that fundamental values such as the reactance, the input power and the power factor show variations during the operation in an electric arc furnace. And these values, as is well known, condition the efficiency of the power used and the time needed to perform the whole melting process.
On the other hand, the behaviour of an electric arc furnace during the melting process is an individual matter pertaining to each one of the furnaces. In other words, the real dynamic behaviour of a specific furnace cannot be deduced, with sufficient accuracy, from the theoretical electric characteristics : an in process measurement of the different values must be done.
The problem now is how to get the measurements in order to use them to perform the melting process minimizing the power consumption.
The method of measurement of secondary voltage and current is one of the most innovative features included in this demonstration project and differentfrom other systems now operating in the shops. This method is based on the works developed by Dr. Inagaki, summarized in the paper presented at the 9th UIE congress held in Cannes in 1980. The results obtained show that : - approximate reactance factor derived from the measured mean electrical values to be as good as that obtained from corresponding effective values,
- accordingly, there is a possibility of employing a simpler measuring device (use of mean values) for on-line control.
With this special measurements method, the true electric characteristics of the furnace are grasped and so the real dynamic behaviour of the furnace is known.
The functions the system does are :
. Monitoring :
Knowledge of the means per minute of the different operational parameters of the furnace allows an exact follow up of the process in all its stages.
. Melting control :
The system controls the secondary current of each phase in order to obtain a minimum energy consumption in each stage.
. Demand control :
The system controls the energy consumption in all the plant optimizing it during each demand cycle. . Data logging :
The system displays and logs the data needed to operate the furnace and to optimize the input power pattern.
. Optimization of the input power pattern :
With the information recorded on the tape, periodical analysis can be made in order to identify optimized input power patterns based on evolution of the internal parameters of the furnace itself and other external factors.

It's a pleasure to report to you on the huge strides our new provincial government is making under the energizing leadership of Premier Kathleen Wynne. As Premier Wynne has often noted, our government's focus is on building a prosperous, compassionate and united province where every voice counts. I am proud to be a part of a team that is bringing new ideas to Ontario and a fresh approach to government. And I am proud to be able to continue serving the people of Oakville and to be your voice at Queen's Park.
In addition, last September I had the pleasure of accompanying Premier Wynne on a tour of Sheridan College to visit the college's outstanding Faculty of Animation, Art and Design in Oakville. We also toured the Ford Oakville assembly plant where the Premier announced the Ontario government's partnership with Ford Canada to upgrade the Oakville assembly plant and secure more than 2,800 jobs.
Such initiatives are in keeping with our government's economic plan to create jobs and help people in their everyday lives. This plan is about investing in people, building strong infrastructure and supporting a dynamic and innovative business climate across Ontario.
As always, thank you for allowing me to represent your interests at Queen's Park. It's an honour to serve the people of Oakville. I can think of no other place that has a brighter future than Oakville. With your support, we can continue to work to create a more prosperous,compassionate and united Ontario.

Muffins and School
It's been kind-of a crazy year for me. Along with several personal things, I also started back to school. This has drastically limited my free-time. It's amazing how much time obtaining a Master's degree can take. With limited free time, several of my hobbies went to the wayside.
However, our allergy situation has changed a bit and I wanted to talk a bit about it. My little guy started Kindergarten in August. Not only was I faced with the usual mommie fears (will he have friends, is he really ready, but he's just my baby, etc) but also had major fears associated with his food allergies. Its crazy scary knowing he will be surrounded by completely new people who will be responsible for keeping him safe.
Despite my fear and sudden desire to move to Alaska and live in a bubble (I get the urge a lot), I knew he was ready for the big step of kindergarten. I worked with the school staff and was able to assist with writing the food allergy policy. I will say, this has been an amazing experience. I've felt supported knowing the staff truly care. I'm very lucky with the school we chose to send our kiddos to. But truly the whole school experience is a blog entry of its own.
Now on to milk muffin therapy. I've been very hesitant to post much about this on, well anywhere, but especially on Facebook. Why? Because part of me, the unreasonable part of me, is superstitious. You see, in the past, we've started the milk muffin therapy twice and haven't gotten very far. My hopes and excitement was raised and then drastically fell. I also found once I posted how amazing it was going, we'd then crash and burn with a rash and/or hives.
So you see my hesitancy is valid. I don't want to inadvertently cause him to fail by tempting fate. Ok. I know, my rational side is telling me I'm full of crap. But the crazy woman inside wins sometimes.
I am however, I think, maybe…possibly….ready to give the big announcement. Max has been on 1/2 cup of milk in 12 muffins for three weeks now. He started with 1/2 a muffin x2 weeks due to sadly reacting the first day we gave it him (although now, I suspect it was more contact but it's always better to be safe than sorry). He's had 1 whole muffin x7 days now. The Little Guy needs to eat 1 whole muffin x7 more days. We will then check-in with the allergist and get further direction. Honestly, I suspect he'll have an additional 2 weeks of muffin therapy before we can move on to something more exciting.
Now to the significance of this. In every single one of his milk muffin challenges, we couldn't get past day 3 of whole muffin therapy. We are officially well past that. And I'm stoked! This is proof the Little Guy is improving. All of our hard work is paying off.
This has also taught us he is still contact to dairy. Earlier this week he had what I call the "red beard". No hives, no itching, just red. I believe it was due to him not wanting to eat and he got it all over his chin. I believe this because I washed his face and it cleared within 15 mins.
The other good news, several of his allergies went down. Specifically some of the nuts and, amazingly, his wheat. Wheat had been going up for the last couple of years but basically dropped in 1/2. That's great news. I am hopeful that if we can get through the dairy, we may be looking at doing a wheat challenge. But, honestly, that's months in the future.
I know this was crazy long. I get it if you didn't finish reading it. But, I also know I've not updated anyone on our success so far with the muffins. I will try very hard to update more as we go. I do ask, for ongoing prayers as we continue with the milk process. It is a long process and I'm always a bit nervous because we are giving him daily something that he anaphylactic to and can kill him.

And that means there's the chance of Sunday Evening Blues. And of course I've got a good case of it right now. I don't know what is so bad about tomorrow being Monday but I just don't feel like starting another week yet.
So, here comes the comfort food. Remember, my house right now is filled with the most cancer-causing, fat-building, terrible yummy foods. Anything from gummy bears and pop products to kraft cheese slices and street-meat hotdogs (thanks to Dan's end-of-the-year "bonus"). But I feel like eating..... POTATOES! I first cut up a leek (from the community garden I helped with this week), sliced up a potato, and minced half a garlic clove. I slowly fried them up in olive oil with some salt until everything was golden yummy. It was delicious. I'm pairing it with the remains of Friday nights bottle of white, sans wine glass, and am following up with a package of M&M's.
As good as this food was, I still don't feel like starting another week.
